Every story that becomes a book or a movie or a television show has a history, a moment when the author begins to put the pieces together, a moment that kick-starts the question, "What if . . .?
An earlier book of mine, AN ACCEPTABLE VENGEANCE, began on the Staten Island ferry when we were in New York a couple of months after the 9/11 attack. A young retarded man of Middle Eastern ancestry sat on a bench near me and possible scenarios began floating through my mind.
TORMENTING THE TIGER began when I saw a young blonde waitress with obvious abuse bruises on her face. Later at a writing conference when writers were invited to submit a beginning paragraph for a book, I remembered her and submitted this: Charley didn'deserve an urn so I put his ashes in a coffee can . The entry got a laugh that turned into the itch that became my book.
MY YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY had a different beginning. I had reached a point in my job where I REALLY didn't want to be there. In an effort to keep going, I began to imagine the area where I grew up and pictured what it would be like to just get up one morning and go. However, life, family and other possibilities happened and the unfinished manuscript gathered dust. My main character's trek to the northwest corner of the Oklahoma Panhandle and her year in a yurt has taken thirteen years from irritant to actual story.
Here, finally, is the story of Mandy who takes a sabbatical from her life as wife, mother and government documents librarian to write a book about living off the grid for a year in a yurt and learns more than she bargained for along the way. I hope you'll enjoy her story, available now as an ebook from Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. It will shortly be available from two other ebook vendors, Powell's Books and Books-a-million.
By the way, this is a novel, not a memoir.

Even though blacks borrow more for college, enrollment declines
Freddie Allen | 7/29/2015, 3 p.m.
WASHINGTON (NNPA) Recognizing that a college degree is one of the surest paths to a job and economic security, Black families are taking on more student loan debt than White and Hispanic families, according to a new report by Wells Fargo.
According to the report, student loan debt increased by roughly 97 percent between the 1995-1996 school year and 2015 and Black undergraduates that started school during the 2011-2012 school year can expect to borrow $28,400 for a four-year bachelor's degree compared to Hispanics who will borrow $27,600.
The total price of attendance for Black full-time students increased 115.4 percent during the 2011-2012 school year compared to the 1995-1996 school year and White students experience 113.6 percent jump over the same time period.
The report stated, "The average out-of-pocket net price (which is the price after aid plus student loans) increased 88.7 percent for Blacks, 80.8 percent for Asians and 74.7 percent for Whites between the 2011 and 2012 school year compared to the 1995 and 1996 school year."
In addition, the report found that more than 60 percent of Black undergraduate students qualify "for some type of aid from the federal government" compared to 50 percent of Hispanics and 34 percent of Whites and Asians.
John Rasmussen, the president of personal lending and the head Education Financial Services at Wells Fargo said that two primary realities often frame the conversation about higher education: student loan debt and the growing costs associated with earning a degree.
"The outstanding amount of student loan debt has now exceeded $1.2 trillion," said Rasmussen. "That is larger than credit card debt and automobile debt."
He also noted that the cost of college over the past 20 or 25 years has increased at a pace that is significantly faster than inflation.
"Families are trying to be really practical," said Rasmussen. "Trying to keep costs down now, staying in state more, exploring community college options, and asking tough questions like, 'Are my kids ready to go to college?'"
Rasmussen added that students and families want federal loan programs that are easier to navigate, better information about the true costs of federal loans and what families can expect for outcomes like graduation rates, job placement rates and salary and earnings and the repayment performance of students.
Even though Blacks are taking on more student loan debt, in recent years that increased burden has delivered mixed results on enrollment rates.
A 2014 report by the Wells Fargo Securities, LLC Economics Group, that linked educational attainment to economic success, found that Black enrollment in degree-granting institutions has increased considerably since the Great Recession, but that enrollment rate "slowed down noticeably in 2011 and 2012."
The report said, "This slowdown in Black enrollment in degree-granting institutions plus the strong increase in the enrollment of Hispanics has helped push the Hispanic rate above the Black rate for the first time since the early part of the 1970s."
Still, economists and education advocates agree that a college education continues to be a sound investment, despite the cost.

Show Summary:
Danny and Fox are best friends. They work together, selling dodgy pirate software at markets, play together and, thanks to a caravan in Danny's mother's garden, live in each other's pocket.
However, the one thing they do not share is a sense of responsibility.
Fox is weighed down by it. He wants to be the best father in the world, but his two kids live with their mother and her new boyfriend. If only he could get some money, enough to move out of that ramshackle caravan. Then perhaps he could win back the heart of his ex-girlfriend and become a family man once more.
Danny on the other hand is a free spirit. Still living with his mother, he avoids responsibility like it was an ugly girl looking for a date. An irrepressible "daft boy", a loveable rogue, Danny reckons his job is to drag Fox out of the dark hole he is stuck in, which normally lands his friend in more trouble than before.
Though rarely strictly "Legit", Danny and Fox always see themselves as the good guys. They are simply making ends meet the only way they know how in a world of guys who know guys who can get you anything you want.
Every day brings a new scam, a new dilemma, or a new situation that Fox approaches with a sigh of foreboding, and Danny with gusto, certain of that big pay off.

Dr. Toshio Maeda is a world-renowned Japanese physicist that developed the alloy known as Rhenium X.
Upon the capture of the Braat Islands by the School of Democracy, Maeda was held captive in order for the SOD to procure as much of the precious alloy as possible. Later on, he is rescued by Ivan and Delta Force.
His English voice actor is currently unknown, though he was voiced by Yukimasa Kishino in Japanese.
Background Edit
One of several War Trophies obtained during Mission 6 reveals that he was nominated several times for a Nobel Prize for his work, though never received it due to his reputation as a alcoholic.
Plot Edit
Mission 6: Edit
He first appeared when Ivan and Bob came up to his room at the Rhenium Plant. Toshio Maeda was held captive there to only let the S.O.D to obtain electricity for their bases and to keep the alloy. Bob and Ivan attempted to persuade Toshio Maeda to turn on the power. He explains the how the other countries came to him and why the S.O.D kept him at the power plant. But, he was being somewhat difficult (mainly to Bob) as he kept drinking alcohol. He was convinced by Ivan as he gave his alcohol to Maeda.
Personality Edit
Though Maeda is a genius, he has earned a reputation as a somewhat childish drunk. Rumor has it he even attempts to feed alcohol to his cat.
Quotes Edit
"No matter. Are you going to shoot me?"
"Join me?"
"So, the spiteful bastard grabbed the mines just to keep the Rhenium out of their enemy hands." - Maeda explains the S.O.D involvement with him.
Trivia Edit
- Maeda is one of the only major characters whose English voice actor is uncredited. Other characters include all members of Delta Force aside from Bob.
- Maeda's Japanese voice actor, Yukimasa Kishino, has also supplied the voices for Burter in Dragon Ball Z, Brad Wong in Dead or Alive 3 and 4, and Cao Cao in both Dynasty Warriors and Warriors Orochi.

Located at the new "Main-and-main" in Downtown Orlando, 500 N. Orange Avenue is the most dynamic and sought after address in the City. Currently home to a 118,000 sf office building, 500 N. Orange is one of the best re-development opportunities in the south. Utilizing the existing building , or by developing new from the ground up, this location lends itself to office, residential, or retail development.
500 N. Orange – Orlando, Florida 32801
| Download Brochure
The site is a 2.25 acre strategically located parcel at 500 N. Orange Avenue in Orlando at the corner of Amelia Blvd.
The project will entail demolishing the existing 118,000 Sq. Ft. office building, currently located on the site, and then constructing a 398 unit Residential Wrap project.
The property is currently zoned AC-3A/T (Activity Center / Town Center). The City of Orlando is extremely supportive of high density development at the Subject Site.
The underlying zoning permits high density multifamily residential. Mixed use development of the site is encouraged by the Density of Intensity Bonus of the City of Orlando. Blending a mixture of uses at the property can result in an increase from 200 units per acre to 400 units per acre. The site permits construction to a maximum height of 400 feet. Based on the current zoning and site size, the property could yield up to 900 units.
Main & Main
The North Orange and Amelia intersection connects the financial district of the south CBD, Uptown to the north, and the newly proposed Creative Village (University of Central Florida) to the west. It is at the crossroads of all the major development projects that have occurred and are proposed to occur in the future. Due to its unique geographic location and the continuing demand for residential units, the property is ideally suited for a high density multifamily project.
Due to the sites strategic location within 400 feet of the recently constructed Lynx Central Station, this project is considered a Transportation Oriented Development (TOD).

I created a pencil box for my grandson, who goes to the first grade.
The pencil box consists of 4 parts which have different color and are inserted one into another.
The upper part is threaded and twists easily. I glued the lower parts with superglue.
I drew his favorite characters from Minecraft and Lego. And also I signed one part with his name.
I added a 1 STL file with a picture without a name (part 3-1). You can change it.
Case height - 195 mm
One-piece height - 50mm
Outside diameter - 55mm
I used ABS plastic and Fusion360. Each part was printed for about 3 hours.
All my models were created in Autodesk 123D Design and Fusion 360.

Launching your business is an exciting time, but it's important to keep perspective on what's important in the early phases of your business. While you need to get the word out about your new company, remember that your marketing efforts can just as easily prevent growth as they could inspire it if you aren't careful about the strategies you use.
With that in mind, here are some of the biggest marketing mistakes that start-ups can make early on in their existence:
- Hiring a PR team too early. When your business is just getting started, you should be more focused on creating a solid customer base as organically and personally as possible. Interact with your customers through social media yourself, and be open about everything that's happening with your business. Give people insight to how your business is growing and all of the exciting news that's happening behind the scenes. PR teams are great for larger, more established companies that need help in scaling up their marketing efforts, but when you're just getting started you should do everything you can to establish your company's own unique personality.
- Copying the marketing efforts of competitors. Every company is different, and your competitors have been around longer and have already fine-tuned their marketing efforts to perfectly fit their business. While you might find inspiration in some of the tactics they use, you should never simply lift their entire strategy and try to force it to fit your company.
- Avoiding technology. You need to be able to stay ahead of the technological curve so that you're constantly using all of the latest technology to reach out to your customers. And it's not just enough that you use it; you need to know how to use it effectively so that it's actually a good tool for your company.
- Being afraid of advertising. Marketing can be intimidating because it's deceptively difficult to do it very well. However, marketing is absolutely essential to start-ups, because you need to be able to reach out to your first customers. Be sure to invest a reasonable percent of your budget in your marketing efforts and get creative with your messages.
Avoid these mistakes, and put an appropriate focus on your marketing efforts early on in the life of your business. You'll be much more likely to find early success that way!

Sorry for another huge gap in posting. Jenny was poorly last week with an up-and-down fever. I took her to school two days in a row, thinking that the down would stay down, only to be called by the school halfway through the morning to come and fetch her. We didn't try school on Thursday and then she returned, finally free of the fever on Friday.
The weekend was manic – I suppose in a good way – as I went to a conference on the Saturday, and then there was the double-bonus of Father's Day and Mr Angelfeet's birthday on Sunday. After the busy cycle-ride weekend the previous weekened, I could have really done with spending a day in bed!
This week has been slightly less packed, although it has been difficult emotionally. Jenny had a wobble going into school on Tuesday. This is not the first time. It has been going on since shortly after Mum died. Some mornings she has been OK ish, but it has mostly been every day otherwise. She will cling to me, some mornings she will cry, sometimes she has to be prised off and taken into the classroom. Apparently she is alright once she's in, and she comes out of class in the afternoon in a perfectly jolly mood.
I flipped a bit on Tuesday, partly because we had had a couple of days when going in had been fuss-free, and probably because I am feeling a bit wobbly myself. We sat outside the class and she wept in my arms, while I tried not to. Her lovely class teacher called us in and took us off to an empty room. Have you ever cried in front of a primary school teacher? Yes, probably when you were 6; less likely than you're 44. Oh well. Lovely teacher suggested some incentives for Jenny to come into class fuss-free for the rest of the week, and fingers crossed, she seems to have responded to that, at least for the rest of this week.
The school are trying to organise some family counselling, and they have been very supportive. I feel a bit floored, because surely, as a therapist, I should be able to handle this differently. But, as a therapist, I know it doesn't work like that.
And we're completing the sale on Mum's house next week. It will mean I have to spend this weekend, finalising decisions on contents and clearing out anything I want to keep. So there goes that weekend too.
It will be good to get it done.

A busy weekend
Posted by angelfeet in allotment, exhaustion, family, Jenny, Mr Angefeet on June 16, 2009
Gosh, I've been trying to post this for a couple of days.
It was a long, full weekend. Enjoyable, but exhausting.
On Saturday the Open Day at the allotment where I rent a plot was held. Julie ND and I tried to make our plot look presentable when we were down last weekend, aware that visitors would wandering around to have a nosey at what was growing, as well as taking part in the activities that had especially been laid on (barbecue, plant sale, tombola).
The weather was fab, the event well attended and the kids had a fabulous time. There was face painting:
(Yes, I know, that's a hand, so not strictly face painting).
I bought a couple of plants (quite restrained for me) and spent a fortune on trying to win Jenny something exciting on the tombola. Unsurprisingly for a community event, I kept bumping into people I knew, including a client, my neighbour across the road, another neighbour and her daughter from up the road, and Ash.
On Sunday Mr Angelfeet did a sponsored bike ride. With very little training and an excited Jenny on the back in the childseat, they set off on a 60 mile round trip from Ashford, down to the Kent Coast and then back through the South of England Rare Breeds Trust and Farm, before returning to the start point.
Mr Angelfeet will admit it was slow going. I'm not sure why, although Mr A said there was quite a long way to the first rest point. The route took them down through the Romney marshes, which unsurprisingly, are flat and I guess a little uninspiring when you're just trying to get from A to B. By the time they got the coast, Mr A reckons he was nearly 2 hours behind the rest of the riders. Jenny was shivery and I suspect, suffering from sunstroke. The marshalls convinced Mr A to accept a lift back to the near the start. Mr A was reluctant but recognised it was best for both Jenbo and himself.
Meanwhile Rosie and I were exploring the Rare Breeds centre.
Here is the one of the strangest Rare Breeds I encountered.
Don't you just love that hat. It matches her tongue.
We headed back to the start point and waited. And waited. And waited. The mobile phone coverage was very intermittent and unreliable (cough*rubbish Virgin media*cough), so we weren't sure what was happening.
And then they arrived back.
Go here* to see the glorious homecoming. Forgive the terrible camera handling and the crazy woman cheering over the soundtrack (ahem).
I know he was disappointed not to have managed the whole 60 miles, but I'm proud of him. He was supposed to have been doing it with another (adult) friend, who had to pull out due to illness. He could have just opted for the short route (35 miles), but he felt it wasn't honest to change the length of the route after people had started sponsoring him.
He's a star.
* and isn't it ridiculous that I had to resort to uploading the video clip in Blogger because WordPress charge for video enbedding and I wasted an hour and a half trying to get three other free video sharing services to work. Aaaargh!

Gosh, it's been a busy time. Multi-tasking worldwind. It was my birthday at the weekend and it was spent very pleasantly at my sister's (as Mr Angelfeet had absconded on a baseball trip).
Do I have any photos from the weekend? No. None. Pah!
Meanwhile these marguerites are taking over the back garden, and I don't mind one bit.

Spot gold trades steady, but safe haven appeal to increase amid euro zone debt fears
Spot gold traded steady on Monday, weighed down by a strong
dollar after mass downgrades of euro zone nations by Standard & Poor's on
Friday, while its safe haven appeal could benefit from renewed fears about the euro
zone debt crisis.
Gold posted its biggest one-day drop in 2-1/2 weeks on Friday,
as France and Austria were stripped of their coveted triple-A ratings amid the
downgrades of nine euro zone nations, and Greece's talks with creditor banks
The single currency fell to its lowest against the dollar
since August 2010, and was expected to remain under pressure.
"There are a lot of risks still ahead of us and we
don't think gold has priced in these risks," said Jeremy Friesen, commodity
strategist at Societe Generale. "It [the downgrades] is one of the
incremental pushes for gold to appreciate."
Gold's climb will face the headwind of a strong dollar, but the
appreciation of the greenback may not last long, he added.
Spot gold edged up 0.2 percent to $1,642.59 an ounce by 0712
GMT, rising above the 200-day moving average near $1,638.
Prices rallied 5 percent this year, boosted by safe haven bids
on troubles in the euro zone and tension between Iran and the West over the
past two weeks.
US gold gained 0.8 percent to $1,643.40.
Technical analysis suggested that spot gold could retreat to
$1,600 during the day, Reuters market analyst Wang Tao said.
The advance in gold prices has yet to impress hedge funds and
other speculators.
Money managers cut bullish exposure in US gold futures and options
in the week ended Jan.10, leaving the net length at its lowest level in nearly two years,
according to data from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Holdings of physically backed exchange-traded funds -- another
gauge of investment interest -- showed little sign of revival. SPDR Gold Trust,
the world's largest gold ETF, said its holdings stood at 1,254.159 tonnes, down
0.411 tonnes from the end of 2011.
Traders expect some selling from China this week, before markets
in the country close for a week-long Lunar New Year holiday next week.
"We may see some pressure from some Chinese investors
who want to close their positions and lock down profits before they close shop
for the holiday," said a Shanghai-based trader.
Gold jewellery demand in India, a major global market, is estimated
to have risen 5 to 7 percent in 2011 and is set to grow a further 10 to 15
percent this year with bullion prices falling back after recent gains, the head
of India's biggest jewellery retailer said on Sunday.

A former Red, Joe Cole does not think it would be fair for the top-flight crown to arrive at Anfield prematurely, as the Covid-19 crisis rages on.
If the current season cannot be completed due to the coronavirus outbreak, then the campaign should be restarted from the beginning, according to Cole, who does not believe Liverpool should be handed the title.
Liverpool boast a 25-point lead over reigning Premier League champions Manchester City at the moment, having won 27 of their 29 fixtures to date.
The domestic crown which has eluded the Reds for 30 years looked destined to end up in their trophy cabinet come May, before the season was postponed indefinitely amid the ongoing fight against Covid-19.
All English football fixtures have been postponed until the end of April at the earliest, with government officials advising citizens to remain in their homes and practise social distancing in order to contain the spread of the illness.
It has been suggested that Liverpool should be named as champions if the season be abandoned completely, but Cole believes such a scenario would stir up too much controversy.
"Obviously we need to finish the season as soon as we can, if we're allowed to. That would be ideal," the former Reds midfielder told the Daily Star.
"If we can't finish the season, and it's getting close to the following season, the only situation which I think is fair is to just restart it.
"Everyone's tribal. Everyone wants what's best for their clubs. But unless you do a blanket thing for everyone, it's going to have knock-on effects.
"In my opinion, that's the only solution. Restart from scratch if we cannot finish the league."
Cole went on to express his belief that public safety must come above football in these uncertain times, adding: "I'm sure there are more intelligent people than me coming up with solutions but we're in a situation as a country where we have to stick together.
"Everyone in the football world needs to understand that as well. Finishing a 100 metre race at 70 metres leaves a lot of arguments.
"We've seen so many times in sport – it throws up so many surprises, doesn't it? You can never be sure what's going to happen.
"We're in a situation where people have to be selfless in their lives and in football we need to lead the way.
"It's going to benefit some clubs and others are going to be very upset but bigger things than football are at stake. It's people's lives and livelihoods."

GAC-TV announces exclusive Garth Brooks behind the scenes special
"It was too good to be true and now looking back on it, it was too good and it was true," says superstar Garth Brooks of his three-year run of shows at the Wynn Las Vegas from 2009 to 2012. In Garth Brooks: Blame It All On My Roots, 5 Decades of Influences, premiering Saturday, November 9th at 8 pm ET on Great American Country, Brooks shares exclusive personal videos and photographs of the remarkable journey that enabled him to balance family life with his second love, music. Wife Trisha Yearwood, friend Reba McEntire and Vegas magnate Steve Wynn will also appear in the special.
For nearly ten years, Brooks had been minding his own business in Oklahoma taking care of his three daughters and loving the role of hands-on dad when billionaire Las Vegas icon Steve Wynn called. "I was fascinated about why he retired early," says Wynn. After several meetings, a trial run solo performance at the Wynn Encore Theater ("The greatest sounding venue I've been in in my life," says Brooks) and the real deal sealer – a private plane to ensure that Brooks' family routine would run uninterrupted, Brooks signed on for 15 weekends. The format? Just Brooks and his guitar sharing all of the influences from his parents, five siblings and friends, and revealing through music what it was like growing up with strong family bonds.
"The special is a perfect representation of where I am in my life right now."
Brooks offered to dress up a bit for these special concerts but Wynn disagreed. "There's no other show in Vegas like this," Wynn says. "It's got such honesty, such integrity. It's not that you don't want the band, it's that you don't want to lose the simplicity of the man and his music. If you have the kind of gift that he has, it's a crime against nature not to use it."
Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood captured home video of many of the special moments leading up to his Vegas run: the christening of their plane which they named Trixie, Brooks' first time on the Encore stage and light-hearted moments between the two in the dressing room.
"The special is a perfect representation of where I am in my life right now," says Brooks. "I believe it accurately paints the 'frantic' lifestyle our house is in right now. We have everyone going every different direction and somehow, it all makes sense."

Exactly why is appropriate roofing necessary? Most of us look at a family home to be the embodiment of the American dream. You can spend an enormous amount of time in your house with your family. You can now understand why it should be well maintained for almost everyone to become completely happy. It is usually therefore required that no unforeseen issues like mold from a rooftop leakage trigger distress in your interior. The best care for your roof structure is of the highest importance to you and your spouse and children, therefore.
A roof is arguably the most significant component of your house, as, without a well-maintained roof structure, your personal belongings could be exposed to storms which make purchasing a family house irrelevant. Accordingly, when you recognize obvious evidence of potential roofing impairment such as roof shingles in the grass or surprising nicks on your car, you need to get an examination of your roofing as quickly as possible to correct any menacing problems.
Armor Roofing LLC has been providing excellent service in the Raymore community for well over three decades and we set buyer full satisfaction above all else. This is one of the underlying factors we have tons of five-star ratings and stories published throughout the internet and carry an enviable perfect rating with the BBB. We are certified inspectors and can certainly help you to work with your insurance carrier in order to ensure you procure the full repayment for the task we provide. Assuming you engage Armor, you do not have to feel stressed regarding the roof being finished right. We put our money where our mouth is, producing a full warranty on work completed.
The last thing you hope for is for undiscovered roof leaks to tarnish your home and goods within. Connect to us right this moment to be sure that your roofing is ready ahead of yet another storm striking the Raymore neighborhood.
Men or women tend to disregard the roof concerning generic home service. Sometimes it is an overwhelming slip-up, notably if you make your home in a place near Raymore that may actually have turbulent storms. The foremost issue you really need to comprehend is that a roof replacement could perhaps demand considerably more than some other restoration you have ever worked on before, even though when it comes to roof matters, it is better to take on it in a timely manner. The motivation is easy-to-follow. After the damage should get even more serious, it will definitely cost you more than in the past, and I am absolutely certain that not a soul would want that to ensue. Because a rooftop is definitely a standard guard of the residence, the dysfunction really does regularly weaken and at some point, a restoration or perhaps a replacement are actually obligatory.
There are certainly two really important subjects to actually bear in mind. Firstly, most of the people dealing with roofing wear and tear simply need a very affordable patch job of the worn pieces within the roof top with leaks. Provided you already have a property finance loan on the real estate, you most likely will be demanded to get comprehensive property insurance policy coverage. You may even now have coverage if you purchased the housing without external debt. Either way, you are usually covered for any rooftop deterioration, as a result, you can easily relax perfectly at nighttime if you have reason to believe you surely have roof structure wreckage. Just remember insurance policies typically pay for fine quality workmanship that they may examine. In turn, it could make good sense to tap the services of the most desirable Raymore roofing contractor to increase the likelihood the chore is carried out with the necessary workmanship, and consequently, your insurance organization is content.
How Does Someone Locate A Roof Top Tragedy?
Unravel the subsequent concerns firstly:
Which Are Some Merits Associated With Roof Covering Replacements?
- In the instance you have a metal made rooftop, are you presently finding any specific portions which look deteriorated?
Oxidation ought to be the earliest sign that the status of the metal roof has been corrupted, and so it is time for a thorough inspection concerning your roof. Be careful not to kill time waiting to address this wear and tear.
- Roofer tiles – Are they wrecked or split?
Sure enough, now is the moment to opt for a roof service. A repair project is likely important and vital. Should it be the damages is severe, you could quite possibly require having the full-blown roof top switched up.
- Do you ever spy any damaged underlayment?
Roofing professionals quite often name the stratum underneath the roofing materials as roof underlayment. Warping underlayment can also give rise to leakage, especially in metal or tile rooftop versions which in turn fall back upon the different storm-water barrier. Beyond doubt, you will have to call up a roof expert to visit your home and figure out the extent of the trouble to give protection to your household integrity.
Should you do notice harm, you should do a minimal amount of servicing or sometimes a complete replacement, each one with strengths and problems. Even so, the necessity for a roofing installation is usually the outcome of a sensible, informed contemplation that is best handled by a professional roofing contractor in the proximity of Raymore. In a perfect world, you can have a roofer engage in the examination also seeing that going up upon the house is likely to be unsafe and expert roofs can discover wear and tear which unfortunately the large majority of clients are unable to.
Reach at Armor Roofing as soon as possible by choosing the control down further.
Ring (816) 331-7663 to get a free complementary rooftop exam. You have absolutely nothing to lose! The moment you get the Raymore roofer to check your property, inquire about the particular degree of the damage caused and whether a patch up or more expensive replacement is considered necessary. In the event, it looks like your roofer is biased against an extensive new roof installation, in that case, you will find a multitude of factors you must have to investigate.
Why Might Anybody Choose A New Installation?
The number one convenience from a complete roof replacement, naturally, is that the roof is to be totally restored! Roof structure complications immediately following rainstorms likely will quite possibly be annihilated out of the care for quite a while. Put up a life-time roof covering on the household and you can even hope to have a worry free roof for the next generation. A super easy patch job ought to be satisfactory too if it turns out the issues are milder.
You emphatically might reflect on a hundred percent new roof covering replacement should it be you expect to soon re-sell the house. A really good roof ought to increase a building's selling price reasonably markedly.
Some Minuses
Without a doubt, a new roof covering set up is definitely a lot more long-drawn-out and challenging piece of work than a repair servicing. Having said that, so long as you obtain a local roofing contractor that has a significant team easily available, the service can even be implemented reasonably in short order. In terms of the stick shock, 6 and 11 thousand dollars is usually an all round budget range to obtain a rooftop replacement. If you find it is simply just a mild roofing replacement, the cost will be even less, and so if perhaps you currently have an incredible household with a high-priced component, it could perhaps be priced 40,000 dollars or more. Considering that the insurance carrier may possibly be reimbursed for the charge, this is a price tag you need strictly get worried over relating to being certain the piece of work is done right so that you ensuring that they will pay you.

Expository Essay Topics - What to Think About
Much like argumentative or persuasive essays, exploratory essays aim to investigate, evaluate or discuss a topic using facts. However, they don't argue out claims in a debate-like fashion as in the case or argumentative essays, nor do they aim to persuade the reader to share the writer's point of view like persuasive essays. Instead, exploratory essays aim to present evaluations through clear and concise facts, steering clear of personal opinion or unsupported fact.
The structure of an expository essay will encompass the following:
- Investigation
- Proof
- Evaluation
- Informing and reinforcing
These essays may take many forms such as explaining cause-and-effect, explaining processes, classification, definitions, and comparing-&-contrasting. While debate isn't discouraged, it is not the primary focus of writing these essays. Therefore, many students will often lap how to write expository and argumentative essays.
Expository essays may also not make too much use of textbook research, compared to argumentative essays, but they must rely on factual presentation of material. Students may face difficulties choosing topics for expository essays that they can factually present, especially in an examination setting. It is advised to go for a topic which you have plenty of knowledge on, which will also coincide with that which you have plenty of interest in.
Most descriptive essays may include words such as 'elaborate', 'define' or 'illustrate' in their prompts. This clearly tells the student that the presentation should focus on the factual matter behind the essay context and not any form of personal opinion.
Coming up with expository essay topics may be the difficult part about writing these essays. High school and college students will benefit greatly from the essay-writing services that we offer, along with the plenty of topics for expository essay that we keep ready in our vault.
Choosing Topics for Expository Essay

Expository essays have several variations and you may get good expository essay topics in any of the following categories:
- Classification essays: Breaks down a subject into smaller categories and gives specific examples from these classifications.
- Cause & Effect essays: These explain how things affect and depend on each other. The writer will explain the relationship between two things, with why they happen and the results.
- Compare & Contrast essays: Describes the similarities or differences between two different animate or inanimate subjects.
- Definition essays: These give the meaning of either animate or inanimate objects or concepts. The writer will delve into the dictionary definitions and any connotations that the word brings.
- Process essays: Also referred to as 'How-to' essays, these explain procedures and steps to achieve something, educate the reader or show them how it's done.
While these definitions might make them seem quite technical and academic, the reality is that simple and succinct language is the best way to take on these essays.
The best way to achieve great expository essay topics is to find a topic that you are interested in and then see which of the above categories you are more comfortable writing in. The rubric provided might also require you to write a descriptive essay from select category using the topic provided, in which case your primary concern would be the structure of the essay.

Jim Dowling Uilleann Pipe & Trad Festival 2018 will host the best Uilleann Piping & Trad Music in Glengarriff, West Cork from the 21st-24th of June 2018.
Jim Dowling was born in Dolphins Barn in Dublin in 1938 and attended James Street Christian Brothers School and Rathmines School of Commerce. He began his career as a messenger boy in Guinness Brewery at the age of 15, transferred to the Brew House 3 years later and remained there until the age of 31.
Jim was one of a select band of young musicians who trained with the legendary piper Leo Rowsome at a time when traditional music was confined to the back streets and the kitchens. But many people had begun to feel that there was a pressing need for a national organisation to promote Ireland's unique musical culture. And so, in 1951, at the Dublin Pipers Club headquarters, the first standing Committee of Cumann Ceoltóirí na hÉireann was elected. Jim Dowling held the position as secretary for 12 years.

Very chocolaty mousse
Member recipe by indrabliss
ServingsServes 6
sinfully rich and really yummy
This recipe has been submitted by the Good Food community. Sign in or create a My Good Food account to upload your own recipe creations. Please note that all recipes will be moderated but they are not tested in the Good Food kitchen.
Save to My Good Food
- 200g of dark chocolate (75 percent coco solids)
- 3 large eggs seperated
- 40g of golden caster sugar
- To serve:
- whipped cream(optional)
- You will also need 6 ramekins, each with a capacity of 5 fl oz (150 ml), or 6 individual serving glasses.
- First of all place the broken-up chocolate and 4 fl oz (120 ml) warm water in a large heatproof bowl, which should be sitting over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Then, keeping the heat at its lowest, allow the chocolate to melt slowly - it should take about 6 minutes. Now remove it from the heat and give it a good stir until it's smooth and glossy, then let the chocolate cool for 2-3 minutes before stirring in the egg yolks. Then give it another good mix with a wooden spoon.
- Next, in a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites to the soft-peak stage, then whisk in the sugar, about a third at a time, then whisk again until the whites are glossy.
- Now, using a metal spoon, fold a tablespoon of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to loosen it, then carefully fold in the rest. You need to have patience here, it needs gentle folding and cutting movements so that you retain all the precious air, which makes the mousse light.
- Next divide the mousse between the ramekins or glasses and chill for at least 2 hours, covered with clingfilm.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on the top.

No AlterNATIVE Music Showcase featuring:
9:15pm: Endemic MC
10:00pm: Shining Soul
10:45pm: The Cremains
11:45pm: Ethan 103
Join us after the ASU Pow Wow for a unique cross genre event featuring some great Native American musicians representing the Dine, Oneida, San Carlos Apache, and Tohono O'odham Nations.
The No AlterNATIVE Music Showcase was born out of a need for Native musicians to not only network with each other but also for them to expose their fans to other Native groups/bands. Particularly, those who create more modern and alternative sounds rather than more traditional flute and hand drum music.
This is a unique event that no one else is hosting... there is no alternative.

Cover Albums: Should they be covered, or just plain buried?
Without dwelling too much on the mess that Record Store Day 2011 was, I'd like to mention that the really cool stuff was the popular bands that did COVER tunes.
The Deftones, The Foo Fighters, Green Day, Jenny & Johnny, My Chemical Romance, Mastadon, and even (sorta) Sonic Youth got in on the action.
Sorry, don't get me wrong, I love covers from 'hot' bands, but there are things that are over 6 years old that really rock better than these and I'm gonna 'fill your head' right now.
The Ramones~Acid Eaters was so anticipated for me, for they are probably one of the 5 top bands in the world for me. Acid Eaters was NOT a great album. When The Ramones felt the urge during a concert, they would throw in a cover song and not very often. This is what the magic was all about and this is where it should have stayed. Even help from Pete Townshend couldn't really save this from being mediocre…but it is what it is.
The Hotrats~Turn Ons is really highly recommended. It (at the time) came on a gorgeous 180 gram ORANGE VINYL and was really creative. The covers were all well thought out before hand. It's actually the 2 guys from U.K.'s Supergrass , and their cover of the classic Roxy Music top 40 hit from 1975 (Love Is The Drug) is fantastic. The other killer cover is a version of The Beastie Boys 'You Gotta Fight For Your Right (To Party) done exactly like it was off of The Who Sell Out album of 1967. Even the reference to the parents in The Who's "Tattoo" song are similar.
The other forgotten covers album that is real good is the Canadian band RUSH. You know, I don't really care all that much for RUSH (or Supergrass for that matter), but the RUSH covers album called 'Feedback' is absolutely awesome. It sticks to 60's covers where the band started their roots probably playing these songs 6 times per night which is why they probably sound so intense and fresh.
Green Day aka The Foxboro Hut Tubs~Stop Drop And Roll. There is nothing really to say about this one. There ain't a bad song on it. And here is why, it's simple. Green Day (Billie Joe Armstrong in particular), was born and bred in Berkeley, CA. Case closed. To have that much influence on Bay Area 60's stuff and all the L.A. and British Invasion stuff….how can he miss???? Incidentally, this IS NOT a covers album. If you've had your ears open to The Yardbirds, The Who and The Kinks….then you can call this a covers album. These 3 bands' riffs, styles, and arrangements are all over it and very easy to recognize, And guess what? The same goes for Green Day's Grammy winning "American Idiot" album. Those 3 bands are all over that one too. In a nutshell, I can't think of a more deserving rock and roll album winning across-the-board Grammy awards for about 20 years. Maybe since Metallica or Guns N' Roses won? "Dookie", the break-through album from Green Day was no FLUKE now was it?
Another band that must be mentioned here are New York's The Smithereens. So far they have done 4 covers albums (if you include an album of Rock 'N' Roll Christmas Rockers).
In a super gutsy move, the have covered The Beatles twice. I'd be a fool to try to be a rock critic here and say this is missing or that is missing but it's just The Smithereens having fun doing old Beatles songs. 5 Stars for spirit, baby. The first one was called "Meet The Smithereens" and copied the exact U.S. Capitol debut of the 'Meet The Beatles" ablum. The second one was called The Smithereens sing Beatles B-Sides And Rarities. NICE JOB GUYS!
Incidentally, for vinyl maniacs like me, these 2 LP's are available as a 2-Record Set on 180 gram awesome vinyl for like $22.00 from the band's website GREAT PRICE!!!
The other covers album The Smithereens did was a compilation of The Who's songs from "Tommy." It does not have every song, but the typical ones you would expect (dare I say HITS?) are on there. Obviously, The Smithereens are influenced by the 4 B's (Beatnik, British Invasion, The Byrds & The Beatles.) I'd say that The Beatles especially were top of the list, but , I always felt that when these 4 guys got together to play live that the sound you got was closer to that of The Who. That's a good thing and they did cover The Who's lesser known (and my top 5 songs by them) track called "The Seeker" live a lot. I knew the "Tommy" covers CD was really gonna click and it did. So if you ask me which to purchase, The Beatles covers or The Who covers, I'd say get the vinyl of The Beatles AND the CD of "Tommy." I think I just gave you the answer on what works better without being critical, OK? Long live The Smithereens and Pat DiNizio is like the coolest human being out there…and their Christmas CD ROCKS HARD!!! In a nutshell, you can never go wrong with The Smithereens.
7 other cover albums that come to mind are:
Of course, Metallica's Garage Days Re-visited series; which are awesome.
Guns N' Roses~The Spaghetti Incident? which some would bury; but guess what? It blows away the new Chinese Democracy LP (now THAT should be buried). Good luck finding a copy of this on ORANGE VINYL from Holland. 5 years ago they couldn't sell them for a dollar. Now they go for $250.00 sealed.
Albert King's ELVIS covers LP called, "King Does The King's Things" from the early 70's should be buried for sure….even Hound Dog & Smiley Lewis' One Night Of Sin' couldn't save it….it was too loungey?
Shelby Lynne's 2008, 'Just A Little Lovin' which is pretty much a covers album of Dusty Springfield and it is really good, but really overlooked by everyone…Dusty was awesome, man…and there's a great cover of The Young Rascals' "How Can I Be Sure"? And don't miss the fantastic "Willie And Laura Mae Jones" where Shelby plays some ripping acoustic slide guitar to the song originally rocked by Tony Joe White in 1968 on his classic Black & White LP available HERE on vinyl.com for a real cheap price as a high quality reissue.
Booker T.& The MG's~McLemore Avenue ( a straight song list from The Beatles Abbey Road album, and better than the Albert King covers.)
Aaron Neville did one about 6 years ago, I heard it was awesome.
Sarah Vaughan Sings Beatle Ballads (Atlantic 1971), it's forgotten but it holds up real well now. Many songs ended up on weird Beatles Jazz Covers compilation LP's.
Hah, let's just forget The Chipmunks Sing The Beatles (even though it got tons of airplay and sold well in '65.)
Let's not forget the hottest 'punk cover' band in the world: "Me First & The Gimme Gimme's" who have put out about 10 singles/EP's and about 8 LP's (each with a different theme ie: Country, Show-Tunes, Soul, etc. etc.)
And there you go! Maybe we shouldn't bury any covers albums after all?
They are what they are….but always interesting!!!
And let's not forget Ozzy Osbourne! Instead of putting out the same songs on his box set, he did about 1 half of covers and recorded a whole disc of his favorite 60's covers, nice job Oz, too bad Record Store Day 2011 was a mess and YOU were the ambASSador.
Record Store Day 4/16/11…A Total SCAM!!!
You know, I love what Michael Kurtz is doing and I was going to write up a not-so-negative view of Record Store Day 2011, but I just got a comment from a man named Scott who (like me) drove 130 miles but HE got NOTHING.
Scam, scam Scam!!!!
Gasoline is $4.50 per gallon in California baby, cash money speaks the best English here right now.
Here are some simple problems and none that RSD staff can control:
1) I'm there at my local record store at 9:30AM with my left hand on the doorknob. At 10:00AM the store opens. At 10:01 I am picking RSD Exclusives off the RSD wall like I was playing 'The Money Tree' game on "Name That Tune." At 10:08AM, I have a Hammermill 'legal size' copy paper box FILLED with RSD stuff and I'm trying to get out the door. At 10:10AM, there are 6 teenagers coming through the door looking for RSD stuff. The store clerk says, "You're too late." These kids are ready to cry, not only do they work crappy pizza joints and can only spend $10.00 on a vinyl record, I've just handed over the store seven $100.00 bills.
Now the kids wanna see what's in my box. I show them and they really do cry this time. The retailer ordered 10 of many 'hot' titles and only 1 or 2 came in. That is problem #1. Why stay for cookies, cupcakes, apple juice and an in-store band that is probably gonna play a song from an RSD Exclusive that the person couldn't even get…and it's only 10:15AM, man.
1) Come on RSD staff, it doesn't matter who signs what contract. 80% of these indpendent stores are hurting and the next day, the 'hot' title is on ebay and Amazon for over TRIPLE the price. I spoke with 2 of them and they said, "YES, we kept hot titles back to sell the next day." I WAS A CUSTOMER, I just paid $150.00 each for The Deftones & The Foo Fighters cover albums. $312.00 incl. shipping and you can bet it came from Cali.
3) You will never, ever, ever stop the independent store owners from taking care of their best customers. RSD staff, you couldn't give me a decent reason in the world why customers should not be able to pre-order RSD titles. It's all about supporting them right? It doesn't make sense.
4) Proof of the scam…Those 5 titles on clear with colored speckles of Hank III never left the hands of industry insiders did they? Text messaging is instant and NO ONE ever saw any of those ANYWHERE.
The solution:
It's so simple it's sick…and one of the the biggest companies in the record business did it the most honest way. WB put out their 'Side By Side" colored vinyl 7″ series in amounts of like 6,500. I think everyone was happy and it was cool that Warners only did a few things (awesome choices) and pressed plenty of them. So there is your answer RSD; only 50-75 titles and press 10,000 of them so everyone gets one and no sad faces.
I was so lucky, I got really everything to die for. Palm Sunday was the day after RSD, and I was in church at 7:00AM and lit a candle for all 60 RSD titles I was able to get. The priest had to run to CVS pharmacy to get 18 more candles for me to light…..the last candle I lit was a 20 pound one for RSD 2012 that they get their act together and make some rules that they can control.
We need an ambassador that is not going to take crap and will kick butt…LADY GAGA, maybe you're the one for 2012….you can dress up in a pure vinyl 45's custom made dress!!
Good luck next year…I don't know anyone who's not participating next year…they made too much the day after on Amazon where it's legal to ask any price you want and baby…IT SELLS!!!!!!
Now my local vinyl buddies call me The Serial Killer of Record Store Day because I wiped-out all the local vinyl shops' RSD stuff.
It's GOTTA GET BETTER MAN!!!!

Colored Vinyl here at vinyl.com!
Well, I finally got around to making HOT PICKS for our colored vinyl link here at vinyl.com. These are very cool and I have a pretty accurate color memory of each one.
OK, without further adue:
Let's start with classic Motown, and there are 5 releases.
There are 3 by Stevie Wonder & 2 by Marvin Gaye.
Stevie Wonder~Music Of My Mind (Tan Marbled)
Stevie Wonder~Talking Book (Tan Marbled)
Stevie Wonder~Innervisions (Clear Red)
Marvin Gaye~What's Going On (Solid Beige)
Marvin Gaye~Let's Get It On (Tan Marbled)
Absolutely Gorgeous!
OK, now it's time for what I call "The Magnificent 7"
These HOT 7 artists have just about their whole classic catalog out on colored vinyl. They are:
1 Black Sabbath (the first 4 LP's that are straight up UK "NEMS" reissues all on Clear Vinyl)
2 Curtis Mayfield (his first 5 classic solo LP's all on Clear Red)

Sundazed: The Remains on 180 gram Blue Vinyl…
and there are only 100 of these.
The LP is called "A Session With The Remains" and is the band's favorite recording for portraying their raw 'live sound' that they could never get in the studio. I first became aware of them through a dumb distributor that always sent me the wrong records. This time they sent me a copy of the French (Eva Records) "Diddy wah Diddy" LP by mistake. That was a good mistake! Oh my god, everything they did in the studio was on that puppy.
I must say that I can listen to "Don't Look Back" 100 times in a row. It has everything in a pop single…even gospel…it is my favorite track.
OK, back to this release. It was a concert recording in front of all the Capitol Records execs, and played at 6:00AM (it was actually 9:00AM, but if you were in The Remains, it felt like 6:00AM). Side 2 is very cool and almost every song is a rehearsal in great sound quality done in TRUE STEREO.
I will not agree with the band about this being their best, after all, 'Why Do I Cry' (an excellent song) was the only band written number. The rest were all covers-of-the-day (grunt, I hate covers-of-the-day bands, unless it's The Astronauts).
In conclusion, The Remains are finally turning heads (they've reformed for some dates in Boston)….it only took 45 years to be appreciated.
Barry, Vern, Billy & Chip…..you guys rocked! Another thing I must point out is the drum sound of Chip Damiani on this live thing. He really was under-rated….listen to the rolls and fills~WOW!
I'd jump on this special BLUE pressing for sure!
The Rolling Stones…thank you very much
Finally, we can all complete our collection of everything The Stones released as a 'single' with this new 45 CD box set, and let me say it right now: each CD rounds out to be about $4.00 each (and some have 8 tracks per disc). THIS IS GONNA SOUND GREAT!!!
Thanks Mick & Keith! Although it seems like this project was the idea of Bill Wyman? He is supposedly The Stones archivist? Hmm? Are they even speaking?
OK tongue lovers, here is what you get:
Everything from 'Brown Sugar' (1971) through 'Rain Fall Down' (2006). And let me tell you, EVERYTHING is included in between for a total of 45 CD's.
Why am I so excited about this? Because in 2004 & 2005 Abkco put out 3 different box sets covering 1963-1971 ('63-'65), ('65-'67), ('68-'71) and what a killer job they did on the picture sleeves and sound. I remember cleaning glass for a picture framing company for 3 months for extra money to purchase these 3 for $200.00…cut up fingers and all.
Anyways, EMI/Universal (through the fantastic Hip-O records), are doing this Atlantic/WEA/ EMI singles set and doing it right. Why have 3 different box sets? Put all those puppies in one big box and slap the famous 'pink tongue' logo (from the original 7″ singles sleeves) all over it.
So, you get 45 discs here. If you own the 3 Abkco boxes (and they are now out of print), it would give you another 33 discs.
That makes it a total of 78 discs….78 singles from The Rolling Stones baby, and make no mistake about it: the strongest part of The Rolling Stones are all those wonderful singles (many of them NOT on their albums). This CD box also boasts tons of unreleased stuff….I think there is a total of roughly 225 songs?
To sign off, all I can say are these 4 sacred words from The Stones bible:
Ciao baby

The Use of Plastic in Semiconductor and Electrical Applications
- By ai_admin ai_admin
- 18 Jun 2018
Semiconductors are what have made most of today's technological advances possible, from the internet to smartphones, they have enabled engineering breakthrough products.
Typically, silicon has been used as the 'go-to' material in all things electronic due to its excellent semi-conductivity.
However, as a result of an increasingly competitive market, the need for a better, faster, stronger material has arisen. As plastics are typically insulators, they seem an unlikely candidate for use in semiconductor / electrical applications. However, in recent years, the composition of some plastic materials has been adapted to make these plastic materials behave as conductors or semi-conductors as opposed to insulators.
Benefits of Using Plastic
Plastics offer numerous benefits in their use as semiconductors and electrical components:
1. Price
The process of extracting and purifying silicon to the extent required for semiconductor manufacturing is expensive. In comparison plastics are relatively cheap to manufacture. Furthermore, the cost of processing raw silicon into a finished product is much more expensive and complicated than the process required for plastic, which can be done with a technique similar to inkjet printing.
2. Durability
Plastics are undoubtedly tougher and more flexible than silicon which helps to improve production life through parts that wear longer.
3. ESD Prevention
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) costs the semiconductor industry over $4 billion in lost profits each year with around 25% of all components failures attributed to ESD. The benefit of using plastics in respect to this is that they can be static dissipative and help to reduce the number of ESD events, therefore, saving the industry billions.
Semiconductor Plastic Materials
Quadrant EPP have developed their own semiconductor grade of products known as Semitron® which were developed to help designers and users optimize the performance of device manufacturing equipment. In addition to device manufacture,a lot of these materials are ideal for specific environments where wear-resistance, chemical-resistance and the management of static electricity are required.
Semitron® MP 370
Semitron® MP 370 offers more choices in the design and manufacture of precision test sockets for the semiconductor manufacture industry.
Semitron® MDS 100
Semitron® MDS 100 has a remarkable combination of strength, stiffness and stability. It was developed to be used in uncontrolled application environments or where a high level of precision is required. It is an ideal choice for semiconductor test sockets, nests and fixtures in test and package equipment.
In addition to Semitron®, other materials suitable for semiconductor and electrical applications include: Techtron® PPS, Ketron® 1000 PEEK, Ertalyte@ PET-P and Duratron® PAI.
Antistatic (ESD/Static Dissipative) Plastics
Contact or continuous rubbing of two insulative materials can produce potentially dangerous arcing. This is because static build-up is insulated against finding a path to discharge from the mating contact surfaces. Most plastic materials are "insulators" and are prone to this problem. As a result, static control solutions are typically required in applications such as sensitive electrical assembly fixturing or chip carriers; high-speed printer parts; medical electronic assemblies; and material handling components.
SciCron Technologies Antistatic Acrylic and Polycarbonate
Acrylic AC-300™ and Polycarbonate PC-350™
- AC-300™ and PC-350™ are premium quality acrylic and polycarbonate sheets respectively, coated with SciCron Technologies clear C-300™ / C-350™ static dissipative coatings. These coatings prevent charge generation on the sheet surfaces and thereby control particulate attraction and prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Quadrant EPP's Range of Semitron® ESD Products
In addition to their standard semiconductor grades of Semitron®, Quadrant also offers ESD grades of Semitron®:
- Semitron® ESd 225 Static Dissipative Acetal – This tan, acetal-based material is an excellent general purpose fixturing material for applications up to 225F with good wear resistance.
- Semitron® ESd 300 Static Dissipative PET-P – This black, polyester-based compound is an excellent step up product from Semitron ESd225 if you are looking for a material with low moisture absorption, higher stiffness, improved dimensional stability, or tighter machined tolerances. It can meet your ESD needs up to 240F.
- Semitron® ESd 410C / 420 Static Dissipative PEI – This black, polyetherimide-based material is capable of bleeding away a surface charge faster than previous grades; offers improved tight tolerance machining and stiffness; and will perform in your applications up to 410F.
- Semitron® ESd 480 Static Dissipative PEEK – This PEEK grade is a step up from the previous grades, exhibiting excellent chemical resistance, low moisture absorption, high stiffness, and excellent machinability. It is black in color and can be used in applications up to 500F.
- Semitron® ESd 500HR Static Dissipative PTFE – With an excellent combination of low frictional properties and dimensional stability, this PTFE grade is an ideal replacement for standard PTFE where a controlled bleed of static charges is desired. It is white in colour and can be used in applications up to 500F.
- Semitron® ESd 520HR Static Dissipative PAI – This is Quadrant's highest temperature ESD material, good for applications up to 510F. This compound has the unique ability to resist dielectric breakdown at high voltages (>100 volts), making it an ideal material for automated test handlers.

{The world now upside down.}
{Feeding off treasures.}
{Of another hemisphere, surely.}
With the New Year tapping her foot in the wings, a collaged floral trio this warm Saturday morning seemed a good fit for the last post for 2011. To you, my friends, I wish you all the very best of luck for an adventurous and bright brand New Year.
This summer holidays I'll be continuing work in the studio (in readiness for an early February install), so you can expect much new work to appear on these pages in pleasing moments of diversion. Please swing by and wave a paw my direction or leave an offering of fruit. Either or both. Your friendship is always appreciated.
+ For those of you who like, prefer, downright enjoy, Louise and I can now be found on Facebook. You can Like us, should the verb agree.

The role of weak intermolecular C-H…F interactions in supramolecular assembly: Structural investigations on 3,5- dibenzylidene-piperidin-4-one and database analysis
R S Rathore N S Karthikeyan Y Alekhya K Sathiyanarayanan P G Aravindan
The fluorinated and non-fluorinated dibenzylidene-4-piperidones were synthesized and their structures examined using X-ray crystallography. Interestingly, the para-fluorosubstituted dibenzylidene compound, in contrast to other analogs, is characterized by C-H…F bonded one-dimensional packing motif. To evaluate the ability of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors for forming interactions, in general and competitive situation, we have defined statistical descriptors. Analysis of Cambridge Structural Database using these newly defined parameters reveals high propensity of C-H…F interactions in organic crystals. The present structural study suggests much larger role of fluorine driven intermolecular interactions that are even though weak, but possess significant ability to direct and alter the packing.
