Virtual Boy's U.S. Debut At WCES '95
March 23, 2010 6:00 AM | Eric Caoili
What with the big news this morning being Nintendo's upcoming reveal of the Nintendo 3DS, a system displaying "3D effects" without needing special 3D glasses, now seems like a great time to look at tech demos of Nintendo's other 3D portable, the failed Virtual Boy.
Enigmatic Youtube uploader Grooveraider recently posted this video from the 1995 Winter Consumer Electronics Show -- I believe this is the first footage of the demos at the expo ever posted online. Grooveraider explains how he captured the system's first North American preview:
"Nintendo hosted the VB demos in a small dark enclosed mini-theatre filled with attendees. We stood in a lengthy line waiting to get our chance to see the VB games for the first-time in the U.S. Nintendo wasn't allowing photography inside but I managed to pretend my camera wasn't shooting by placing some dark wire tape over the recording light. So basically I went against their policy and I had to be very careful that the Reps didn't see me recording."
Notice the demos for Star Fox and Mario Land, which were never actually turned into complete games!

Don't you think we are all rather romantic people. I am very in tune with my romantic side. I love to think of things that people want to see when I re- do a piece of furniture.
I love a rose, a piece of lace a little paint rubbed off on the edge of a piece. I don't know what it is about a worn piece but I love the feeling that I get when I look at it.
I love cut work and I love the carved details in an antique piece.
I really adore the look of cane and the painted details that you can include.
The curvy lines of the French Provincial Style are timeless.
Serpentine shapes are always a great choice.
I like to add more detail to my pieces to make them really special without going over the top.
The old and the new blend well on this piece.
Even a little element of surprise in the drawers is a nice touch.
I know I should have been born a princess, when I see the rooms with all of the ornate moldings covered with gold leaf, I seem to feel right at home.

Free health checks for Wauchope kids November 21, 22 2018
You're invited to free child health checks in Wauchope on Wednesday November 21 and Thursday November 22.
Identifying children's developmental issues before they start school is critical to their life trajectory, and children's charity Royal Far West's award-winning Healthy Kids Bus Stop screening program for children aged 3-5 has been developed to help identify children who would benefit from some form of early intervention.
Royal Far West, in partnership with the Mid North Coast Local Health District and Ronald McDonald House Charities, will be delivering free child health checks in Wauchope at the Rotary Youth Hall.
This will be the second Healthy Kids Bus Stop run on the Mid North Coast this year, with it visiting Eungai, Stuart's Point and Willawarrin in April. At that bus stop, 55 children were screened with 45 being referred on for further assessment and therapy.
More than one of the parents commented that they were glad they had registered their child, and one commented on how much her child had improved after implementing strategies provided at the bus stop.
Other key partners include local preschools, schools, councils and community service organisations. The program is designed as a collaborative exercise to benefit young children within the community at no cost to their parents/carers.
Assessments include a child health check; hearing screening; dental check; fine and gross motor skill development screening; language and speech development check; and a food nutrition check, all at the one location in either a morning or afternoon appointment.
Children requiring further assessment will be referred to appropriate local services, and those with complex needs may also be referred to Royal Far West's Paediatric Developmental Program.
Children must to be registered to attend the Bus Stop.
This can be done at http://www.royalfarwest.org.au/healthy-kids-bus-stop or by calling Jennifer Dowling on 02 8966 8557 for more information.
To help support children in rural and remote areas of Australia, please call 1800 500 061 or go to the website www.royalfarwest.org.au

What is Science?
Science is the way the World works and so understanding and interest is vital if we are to produce the responsible citizens of the future.
In Science at Key Stage 2 we aim to help pupils build on the skills, knowledge and understanding acquired during the Foundation Phase. They will develop their skills through the range of Interdependence of Organisms, The sustainable Earth and How things work.
Science is a practical subject in which we foster the curiosity and creativity of pupils and make it fun, interesting, enjoyable, relevant and challenging for the learner.
Science topics are, as far as possible, linked in to the termly topics that are taught in each year group. We aim to use Science as a tool to teach other areas of the curriculum e.g. teach report writing using pupils' experience of practical experiments and teach the drawing of graphs using results obtained from practical experiments. We also aim to tap in to local resources and expertise by arranging trips to relevant places e.g. Aberthaw Power Station during our energy topic and inviting visitors in to talk to or work with pupils.

TV Weather Report Goes Awry When Ridiculous Temperatures Appear on the Green Screen
You've got to love it when a TV weatherman breaks character and lets loose.
Check out the funny moment when a FOX affiliate in Phoenix, Arizona posted the wrong temperatures on the green screen during Cory McCloskey's weather report.
"I'm not authorized to evacuate, but these temperatures seem pretty high," McCloskey jokes.
We've definitely had some weird weather in Lubbock this month, with two consecutive days hitting highs at 70+ degrees, but this segment takes it to the extreme.

It is well known that high heels are an extremely common cause of back pain. While high heels may enhance a woman's appearance, any heel with an elevation greater than an inch can cause countless problems in the body. High heels affect the spine and negatively impact the feet, knees, and hips.
Wearing high heels prevents the feet from functioning properly as they shift the weight forward onto the balls of the feet which adds pressure to the bones and joints. They restrict the range of motion in the foot which can lead to joint disease in the foot bones such as bunions, ingrown toenails, and hammertoe deformities.
They also shorten and tighten the calf muscles making it difficult to stretch the leg and causing the muscles of the knee to work overtime. This puts a large amount of stress on the knee joints and can pull the kneecaps out of alignment.
Wearing high heels pushes the chest forward and tilts the pelvis forward creating an unnatural posture that causes pain in the lower spine. Continuous wearing of heels can cause chronic back soreness, spasms and eventually lead to arthritis.
Since quite a large number of women in particular cannot do without heels, the following preventative measures to protect the body are advised:
- Opt for round-toed heels rather than pointy toes as these compress and deform the natural shape of the toes.
- Wear heels less often. Alternating wearing heels with wearing flats will reduce the amount of time you spend wearing heels.
- Wear a lower heel. The height of your heel will determine how much weight and pressure you put on the balls of the feet; 1-inch heels increase the pressure by 22% whereas the amount of pressure in 3-inch heels rises dramatically to 76%.
- Ensure your heels fit properly and they do not restrict or cause you to slip and slide inside the shoe.
- Opt for wider block heels or wedges rather than thin heels that will affect your balance and compromise your stability.
Flat shoes
Wearing completely flat shoes does not provide any support for the feet which then has an effect on the rest of the body similar to what is observed in wearing heels.
Flat shoes can cause tight Achilles tendons and strain in the fascia of the feet which normally help to support the arches of the feet. This tightness can then result in fallen arches and cause overstretching or tearing of the tendons and ligaments in the feet. Fallen arches (or flat feet) are when the foot lies completely flat and pressed against the ground. Left untreated overtime, this can lead to arthritis of the knee joints.
Flat shoes put added pressure on the heel of the foot because there is little or no shock absorption from the shoe itself, instead, all the force is taken by the feet. They can also cause the feet to roll inwards (also known as over-pronation) which can push the knees and hips out of alignment causing back pain.
Flip flops
In order to keep flip flops on, a person will automatically have to scrunch and cling the toes to them impacting the body in negative ways. Often, flip flops offer no cushioning or stability for the sole of the foot or the toes. They also do not have straps that keep them in place and attached to the foot which easily results in sprains.
Flip flop wearers take shorter strides which can cause the ankle to collapse inwards, similar to flat shoes. These shorter strides, specifically tailored to flip flop wearing, will put extra strain on our feet, hips and lower back muscles.
Flip flops alter the biomechanics of the foot affecting the way we walk, which in turn affects our posture and cause lower back pain.
The damage caused by Flip flops can be prevented in the following ways:
- Buying flip flops with a sturdier sole
- Avoid wearing flip flops to walk long distances, drive, or play sports
- Replace your flip flops every 3-4 months
General Considerations
The damage caused by improper footwear can be prevented by:
- Avoiding shoes with completely flat soles
- Making sure your feet can breathe and you can wiggle your toes in your shoes
- Investing in shoe insoles that can provide extra comfort and support to the leg
- Ensuring new shoes have a cushioned sole and are shaped to support the arches
Selecting the Right Shoes
People who under-pronate tend to have high arches that are rigid and do not bend well. Such people are advised to look for shoes with plenty of cushioning material to help absorb the shock. On the other hand, people who over-pronate have relatively flat feet and should ensure to look for shoes with excellent arch support.

Despite lackluster Q1 volumes, Barry Callebaut expects sales to pick up in second half
23 Jan 2019 --- Swiss chocolate-maker Barry Callebaut is relying on accelerated sales momentum for the coming year, after its first-quarter volumes inched up by just 1.7 percent, slightly short of expectations. Fiscal Q1 sales volume rose to 541 million tons, according to the company's statement, while revenue in the first three months increased by 3.7 percent in local currencies, to CHF 1.9 billion (US$1.91 billion), in line with forecasts.
The company also notes that recent outsourcing deals such as British biscuit maker Burton's would help sales volumes rise later in the year, keeping it on track to meet its mid-term guidance for 4 to 6 percent volume growth, on average, over the period 2015/16 to 2018/19.
In December 2018, Barry Callebaut completed the transaction to acquire Burton's Biscuit Company's chocolate manufacturing assets in the UK. The acquisition followed the cocoa giant signing an agreement with the UK's second biggest biscuit manufacturer, for the long-term supply of more than 12,000 tons of chocolate and compound per year in September 2018. The deal came just a few months before the UK is set to leave the EU.
"We expect sales momentum to pick up in the back half of the fiscal year as additional volumes come on stream from new outsourcing contracts across all regions, as well as from recently launched innovations," Antoine de Saint-Affrique, CEO of Barry Callebaut said, following the results announcement.
"As anticipated in November, we had a steady start to the new fiscal year on top of a solid prior-year base. Our good product mix and strong portfolio give us confidence that we are on track to deliver on our current mid-term guidance for the period ending with fiscal year 2018/19," he explains.
Barry Callebaut also issued new guidance for the three-year period to 2021/22, targeting a 4 to 6 percent increase in sales volumes with a higher increase in earnings before interest and taxes, in local currencies.
The company also reported that it is on track to deliver on current mid-term guidance ending with fiscal year 2018/19.
Volume growth was supported by Regions Americas (+8.0 percent) and Asia Pacific (+3.8 percent). Region EMEA posted stable volumes (-0.1 percent) in the first quarter, following a double-digit volume growth of +10.3 percent in the same prior year quarter, and the company expects an acceleration in the coming quarters from recently signed outsourcing deals, such as Burton's. Barry Callebaut's sales revenue amounted to CHF 1,881.4 million, an increase of +3.7 percent in local currencies (+0.5 percent in CHF), outpacing volumes mainly due to a better product mix.
Looking ahead, de Saint-Affrique notes: "Our results in the past three years have confirmed the strength of our 'smart growth' strategy. Going forward, we remain committed to achieving consistent, above-market volume growth and enhanced profitability. A continuing outsourcing trend, as evidenced by recently signed agreements, the dynamic growth in emerging markets, our attractive Gourmet business as well as our innovation power provide plenty of levers for further growth."
"All these elements give us the confidence to issue new mid-term guidance, consistent with our prior mid-term guidance, which is 4-6 percent volume growth and EBIT above volume growth in local currencies on average for the three year period 2019/20 to 2021/22, barring any significant unforeseeable events."
Expansion: In November 2018, Barry Callebaut and Garudafood extended their existing supply partnership in Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country, and signed a long-term agreement for the supply of an additional 7,000 tons of compound per year, coming on stream as of mid-2019.
In October 2018, Barry Callebaut signed an agreement to acquire Inforum, a leading Russian B2B producer of chocolate, coatings and fillings. This strategic acquisition, which is expected to be closed shortly, will strengthen Barry Callebaut's presence in the high-growth Russian market.
Innovation: Following the successful integration of Gertrude Hawk Ingredients (GHI), Barry Callebaut is now leveraging GHI's unique portfolio of decoration and inclusion products with existing and new customers.
Sustainability: Barry Callebaut published its 2017/18 Forever Chocolate progress report on December 7, 2018. Highlights include that Barry Callebaut sourced 44 percent of its cocoa and also 44 percent of all other raw materials from sustainable sources.
In November 2018, a strategic partnership was announced between Barry Callebaut, Tony Chocolonely and Albert Heijn, the biggest retailer in the Netherlands, to expand fully traceable, sustainable cocoa sourcing, which is an essential move to making sustainable chocolate the industry norm by 2025.

Professional Photographer and TTSS Photo-of-the-Month host Greg Smith says:
Hal's flight shot of five swans against a dark sky with rapidly changing lighting shows how planning, knowing the capabilities of your camera and looking for the appropriate composition create an exceptional photograph.
From my perspective, a photograph with a well illuminated subject in front of a dark background just makes the subject "pop" out of the picture. This is a stunning example of that technique.
As a photographer you get to choose the type of lighting you want (or hopefully will get) for your subject, so you need to be aware of changing conditions and where best to take advantage of what is offered you. Hal had the foresight to use his local knowledge of where to find the swans and then to position himself in a situation where the sun was at his back and the dark clouds were away from his position.
If you read Hal's write up on his camera settings you will see he is a fan of high speed photography. An exposure of 1/3200 second would require a great deal of ambient light, or, you bump your ISO up, which is what Hal did. The higher the ISO you set your camera on, the faster the exposure you can shoot. So most of us shoot at 100 or 200 ISO and our exposure would have been 1/500 of a second. The extra fast speed allows for a much sharper image, something Hal used to the photograph's advantage.
Taking a number of shots is a necessity to get the right composition with flying bird (although it can happen with a single shot). As you follow the birds through your viewfinder you are always looking for the opportunity to have each bird's head visible in the shot. There is nothing worse than having a great shot turn into a not-so-good shot because of a headless bird. Setting your camera on a burst mode is one way to ensure that you can fire away, which enhances the chance of coming up with a stunning composition like Hal's
Hal shows his knowledge of the subject, the capabilities of his camera and the patience and timing to create an outstanding photograph!
Featured Photographer for February, 2011 – Hal Everett, Western Washington
I have been a serious amateur wildlife and underwater photographer since 1992 have won a competition in both categories. My favorite avian subjects are Trumpeter Swans and Peregrine Falcons. I live in Western Washington, where both of these species winter in substantial numbers. I am a member of The Trumpeter Swan Society and participated in a Trumpeter Swan rescue in 2010.
I located a large flock of Trumpeters in a cornfield late in the afternoon of 11/26/2010 while searching in Snohomish County, WA. I positioned myself West of the Swans. To the East were many dark clouds stacked up in front of the Cascade Mountains. Behind me, to the West, were scattered clouds with occasional sun breaks and the sun low in the sky. Single swans, pairs, and family groups were constantly flying to and from the field. Because the background was so dark I knew that the camera would tend to overexpose the swans in flight, and found that an exposure compensation of -1.5 EV produced a pleasing result. My initial images were all of swans flying in front of trees, power lines, houses and railroad tracks. Eventually, a few of the swans began flying above all of the ground clutter, with nothing but dark clouds in the background. As this group of five ascended, the sun shone through a break in the clouds behind me, illuminating the swans in perfect light with nothing but dark, purple blue clouds behind them. Because a super-telephoto lens has such a shallow depth of focus, the clouds in the background were uniformly blurred. I used an exposure of 1/3200 second, f6.3, and ISO 500.
We are pleased that Hal was willing to share this "keeper" shot in support of Trumpeter Swans and The Trumpeter Swan Society. Find more of his images at www.pbase.com/hge54/birds/waterfowl/swans.

I am absolutely delighted to share some excellent news. My novella, Travelling in the Dark, will be published on 11 July 2018.
My publisher, Fairlight Books in Oxford, are keen to promote literary fiction and also want their books to look beautiful. This is already apparent in the care and attention they have given my manuscript and in the gorgeous cover design.
A recent report by the Arts Council set out the very real threats facing literary fiction. In these dark days for the genre, the energy and enthusiasm of Fairlight's approach has been an inspiration to me.
Travelling in the Dark is one a series of five novellas: the others are Bottled Goods by Sophie van Llewyn, There Are Things I Know by Karen B Golightly, Inside the Bone Box by Anthony Ferner and The Driveway has Two Sides by Sara Marchant. Find out more here
Fairlight Books are open for submissions of literary fiction. You can find further details here. In keeping with their wish to treat all writers who takes the time to submit to them in a fair and open manner, they have a Submissions Code of Practice.
Over the next weeks and months, I'd be posting regularly about this book's journey to publication and the intriguing literary form known as the novella.

Venting a kiln yourself
nafeeza posted a topic in Equipment Use and RepairHi Guys, I have a small test kiln from paragon that has one peep hole and no vent. Everyone that I have contacted says that small test kilns don't need to be vented, just prop the lid open for the first few hours of firing and then close it. I have not had any success with this. I tried keeping it propped open until it reaches 1400 degrees, however it never reaches that temperature probably because the heat is escaping. It's mainly affecting my red glazes right now, however all of my glazes come out very dark and the red ones look burnt and brown ALL the time. After doing a lot of research, I can only guess that its because there isn't proper ventilation happening inside of the kiln. Is there a way that I can vent the kiln myself? I can't really afford an actual venting system right now, and I don't even know if those would work on my kiln because it's so small. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Hi! I was running a cone 5 glaze with my skutt electric kiln and forgot to turn on my enviro vent. When I realized it was already finished and at 500F. I have the KMT so was able to see a graph of the firing which looked fine, but it did fire in 4 hrs instead of the regular 13hrs. What problems could this cause ??? Could this hurt my kiln for future firings? Vent is on now and another fan in the studio cause it definitely smells. Thanks!
Hello community, first post, looking for help. Got an old Skutt kilnsetter model 231 (electric) kiln donated to me. Specs for the kiln are single phase 240volt pulling 47AMP. The electricians who ran the line apparently only installed 40amp breakers which I am working to fix, the kiln constantly trips the breaker when going to high on all 3 knobs. I just bought the envirovent downdraft vent kit for the kiln, but since this thing is older than I am, I am worried it will be pulling air in from all the gaps in each section - (base to section 1 aka low section, section 1-2, 2-3, and 3-lid). I blame this intelligent community for my paranoia because until recently I had been keeping only 1 peep hole open on firings but a recent glazed bisque firing yielded a bunch of what looked like burnt pieces and it was devastating. There was post about oxidation kilns and how I should be firing greenware with all peep holes open and the lid propped by ceramic fiber blanket until I reach 1700F. This took a lot longer, especially with me running down to breaker to reset (wrong amperage breaker, will fix) but in order to increase efficiency I want to seal each gap with blanket on the outside, was thinking of buying more fiber blanket, cutting strips 3-4 inches wide, and wrapping around the kiln so the downdraft vent can successfully pull air in through the top. Or wrapping around most of outside except manual dial area. I don't have actual peep hole plugs so I made some out of clay, which I would keep in place and figure out some way to insulate those with blanket too. Is this necessary? I read some forum where there was a comment made about the blanket causing issues for the steel wrapping around the firebrick which I would be covering and I dont want to cause more issues. I also have some kiln cement I could mix in and attempt to spackle in each gap but I already know this wont stay, seal, or work well. chemical hazard with the kiln cement as well, not ideal. The kiln and its firebrick is in ok condition, I think the kiln is 30 years old, but the small gaps will very likely reduce effectiveness of the drilled holes. I'm worried I'll do all this work installing the vent, and when I hold a flame to the lid holes I drilled, it won't suck it in much. Also, being an engineer I like the idea of insulating the outside of the kiln if there aren't many risks associated with this. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS!
Hi There, I have an e23T L&L kiln. I have 1/4" holes in the bottom of the kiln. There are 2. I've been having trouble with bloating and pin holes during glazing. A colleague suggested I might need to drill a couple of holes in the lid to help with the air circulation. I read in the L&L manual not to add more holes. How can I tell if I need more holes or not? Thanks!
Kiln Room Ventilation
Johnmicheal posted a topic in Equipment Use and RepairI have a space I would like to fire in. 11x11, with concrete block walls, with a wood ceiling. I have thought to cover the wood with concrete board. It's a walk out basement area, so it only has a door to vent it, does any one have anything creative to vent the heat out of this space. I can put a box fan in the door way, short of that, I'm interested in any ideas.
Air Filtration
Beardbangs posted a topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkHi all, I'm in Montreal and am wondering if people have had success with air purifiers in the studio. We have an air vent connected to the window which we use for sanding and glaze mixing (and for the kiln of course), but I'm talking about general dust buildup and air quality. Our studio has about 20 members (kind of works like a gym but for ceramics) so it gets dusty really easily. Do plug-in air filters/purifiers work to help take harmful dust particles out of the air? If so, which models do you all recommend? Low wattage is best as our electrical wiring is pretty sketchy and the fuse tends to break fairly often. Thanks!
Venting Systems
notjustanybeth posted a topic in Equipment Use and RepairDoes anyone have preferences about the venting systems available (to Canadians)? I have not been able to find any reviews online. We currently have an Ortons on order to be installed on our new bisque kiln, but studio partners want to look at other options. It was only ordered today, so hopefully we can cancel the vent order if we change our minds within the next day or so. Any thoughts?
New Smell With Firing
Chantay posted a topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkHi all, Looking for some help. Firing my kiln today, doing something new. Doing a programmed ramp and cool down. After 250 degrees I am ramping at 500 degrees an hour to 1978 degrees (farenhieght). My kiln vent is on and appears to be working properly. The only other difference is the kiln is loaded with three new glazes. I have thoroughly tested the glazes, just never done a load of just the new glazes. Firing to a top temp of 2225. Using a cone 6 red clay, same as usual. The problem, the studio smells, really strongly. It is a normal firing smell as in my previous place I fired in an open garage. I pulled out my respirator and am wearing it to check the kiln. Luckily the smell isn't penetrating to the rest of the house. Any ideas? My only thought is I am using glazes made with Alberta Slip. Could it be possible it has a lot of organics in it? Thanks for any help. Chantay
Diy Downdraft Vent
Pieter Mostert posted a topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI'd like to build my own downdraft vent, and would appreciate answers to a number of questions. I have a lot of questions, so don't feel obliged to answer all of them. Based on the manuals for the Orton Vent Master, L&L Vent-Sure and Skutt EnviroVent 2, the main components I will need are: Collection cup with adjustable opening that sits under the kiln A blower A flexible duct connecting the collection cup to the blower Besides figuring out the specs of these components, I need to be sure I can obtain these (preferably locally - I'm in South Africa, and shipping from the US is expensive. We also have a never-ending post-office strike). I'd like to make my own ceramic collection cup. The main problem with this is connecting the duct to the collection cup. However, I should be able to make a sleeve sticking out of the collection cup on one side with a diameter roughly equal to that of the duct, and can use a hose clamp or silicon adhesive to attach the duct around the sleeve. If it isn't completely airtight, this shouldn't be a problem. For the adjustable opening, I'll have one or more holes in the sides of the cup. The cup will sit on a larger slab, so that I can place half-bricks around the cup to partially block the holes, thus controlling the air-flow. I'm not sure if I'll be able to obtain the standard kiln-vent blower (Dayton 1TDP7 PSC - mentioned by Neil Estrick in a previous post) locally. Would any other blower with a high enough CFM rating work as well, or is there something about this design that makes it good for kiln vents? Grype mentioned it was difficult to find ducting, but I will try a local company that makes vents. There might also be a possibility of getting some used duct for free, but I need to check the length and diameter. Any thoughts on what type of material (aluminium / galvanised steel / high temp black flex hose) works best? Is anything I've outlined above a terrible idea? Is there anything I could be better or more easily at the same price? Some more questions: What should the dimensions of the collection cup be? Does using a cube with interior side length of 4" seem about right? (I'm using inches since most folks on this forum seem to use them; apologies if you prefer the metric system). Should I put a 1" hole on each side of the box other than the one where the duct connects to it? L&L, whose blower is 130 CFM, mentions that vents can overpower smaller kilns. My kiln, a Paragon TnF-82, has a volume of only 3.3 cubic feet, so I think a blower with a smaller CFM rating is necessary and sufficient. The Orton Vent Master has a CFM of 60 - 80, and is good for kilns up to 14 cubic feet. Assuming the same ratio of CFM to kiln volume will work for my kiln, I should be fine with a blower having a CFM of 20, but I'm not sure whether this assumption is justified. If I do use a weaker blower, should the hole I drill in the bottom of the kiln have a diameter larger than 1/4"? Should I drill a hole in the lid? Orton and Skutt recommend this, while L&L says this isn't necessary. There is an existing hole in the centre of the lid (1/2" diameter, I think), but Orton and Skutt recommend the hole be drilled 1" from the inside of the kiln wall. Is this because the resulting airflow is better? Should I leave things as they are and drill a hole later if necessary? What size holes should I put in the duct, and how far apart should they be spaced?
Vent Not Turned On During Bisque
scissors posted a topic in Equipment Use and RepairSo, the envirovent was accidentally left off during a slow bisque fire. Obviously, the kiln atmosphere was not oxygen rich. Can the work be re-bisque fired to correct some of the potential problems?
Building A Shed For 7' Tall Gas Kiln
Roberta posted a topic in Equipment Use and RepairI just joined today so please go easy on me . . . I'm a fairly experienced student and I love cone 10 reduction. My only kiln firing education experience was very limited and over five years ago, at a well-equipped big city community college with huge kilns burning natural gas. I was a newbie just following precise instructions from the instructor, so I'm just about completely ignorant in practice. I am now 500 miles away on a small farm with the new-to-me 12 cubic ft updraft kiln all hooked up to my 250 gal propane tank. The kiln is 7 ft in height including the ~ 2' iron stand. There is also a pyramidal sheet metal hood on top, which adds another foot for a total of 8' in height. Between droughts we get RAIN here in the winter and often it's falling "horizontally" and in summer quite a strong breeze in the late afternoon. In short, my kiln needs to be in an enclosure to keep it dry and the wind away from the burners. I want to build a permanent shed around it. I have a few questions related to that: How high above the kiln vents should the metal ceiling of the shed be? What's the ideal size for an opening in the shed ceiling above the vent for a kiln this size being fired to cone 10? This opening will be covered with a rain cap so I can fire in winter, too. Will heat pretty much go straight up and out of the vent? I'm thinking the rain cap is going to get extremely hot, is that correct? How far above the kiln vents should it be? i.e. does it need to be on top of a wire "stovepipe" or something like that? Any suggestions for "room size" for the shed? I know I'll be needing to control air to fuel ratio using the vents at the top and will need some space for moving around to do that safely. Fortunately on ag zoned land few regulations seem to apply to what we do out here and we are avid about keeping brush cleared, etc. for fire safety. Also I've met a retired ceramics teacher and she is going to fire her own pieces and help out/oversee/advise once I start to actually use the kiln. Plus one of the propane company guys is interested enought to want to see it in action, so once we're firing things should be safe and sane, despite my being totally in over my head. All my best, Roberta
Three questions: (1) The manual (yes, actually read & referenced) for my L&L Easy Fire kiln, plus an Orton Tips sheet, say to have the vent (Vent Sure) running continuously throughout the firing. Both specify to NOT open any peep holes. OK...but then how do I see my witness cones? And if the answer is in front of my nose somewhere, please be gentle as you chuckle! (2) The instructions for upon firing completion say it is safe (and preferred, I gather) to turn off the kiln. It also says that the controller will continue to read out the temperature as it cools down. Well, once I turn the kiln off (toggle off) and turn off the juice (main breaker), there is no read out on the control panel. So how am I supposed to know the temp as it cools? And if that info is in front of my nose, same petition for mercy as in #1. (3) About how long is an "average" (I know, no such thing) cool down? The manual does not speak to this at all (other than instructing to keep the vent running and don't open the peep holes). Based on what I have read in other sources, some say roughly twice as many hours as the fire, some say about the same number of hours as the fire, some say just wait until there is no warmth felt at all on the surface, and some say when it is 200 degrees or less...but per #2 (kiln off, no lights/read out on control panel), I have no way to know what the temp is. So-am I doing something wrong with the shut-off? At this point I don't care if the info is in front of my nose and the reader is rolling on the floor--just gimme the how-to's that I am clearly missing. THANKS in advance.
Envirovent Suddenly Not Venting Fumes
Mesi posted a topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI installed a skutt envirovent 2 several months ago to help deal with fumes when firing (especially wax resist). My studio is in my basement and as I've transitioned to being a full time potter, I'm firing 2 or 3 days a week. The fumes were definitely shortening my life. Lol Vent worked perfectly until about a week ago when I started noticing fumes again. And tonight the smell was so bad it woke me from a dead sleep to open all the windows (even though its snowing with 60mph wind). So, I'm sitting in my living room at 2am in a parka and bunny slippers hoping someone has some experience troubleshooting these vents. -outside there is still warm air actively blowing from the vent -ducting is still attached at plenum cup,the joint between the first piece of duct house and the extension, and up at the motor -checked the holes in kiln floor and lid after I first noticed the smell last week and none were obstructed. Plenum cup seated correctly around the floor holes -the two half shelves on the kiln floor are raised up and spaced with a gap between them. I did notice that my lid doesn't seem to really seal when closed. The gap seems to be where two bricks are a little lower than the others, but we're Talking like 1mm difference maybe. The kiln hasnt been moved or bumped though, so I don't see how that could have been a recent development, and like I said, the vent has worked fine for over a month. Any thoughts or suggestions on what to check?
Setting Up A Kiln
Dani posted a topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkSetting up an Evenheat programmable 25x23" electric kiln in a basement room that is 15x20'. Questions: 1. Is it safe to vent to the garage, avoiding drilling through the foundation, and propping open a door to the outside? 2. Are fire retardant boards on the walls in the corner good enough or do we have to put plasterboard on the reat of the walls? 3. Will a fire alarm go off is we fire to Cone 6 and, if so, how far from the kiln should it go? Thanks

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly appeared on 'Ingraham Angle' with Laura Ingraham on Monday night and said that he believes a special counsel should be called to investigate Hillary Clinton Uranium One bribery scandal.
Kelly wants a Special Counsel appointed to look at the nuclear scandal that resulted in over $100 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation and 20% of US uranium sold to Russia, the GP reported.
General John Kelly: I think so. Again I'm not a lawyer. One of the strengths I have in looking at issues in my job, I think probably as a layman looking at this kind of thing. We need to find someone who is very, very objective who can get to the bottom of these accusations.
Jason Chaffetz in the clip below agrees with General Kelly.

First mile I was happy. I was jokey even. I was thanking the marshals and people applauding. Mile two the same. The hill starts in the third mile and it gets a bit harder. Still, things were going well. The hill goes on for a couple a miles. Maybe as many as three so I was a bit more serious here. Here I only smiled at people. Over the top of the hill the pace increased and I was a bit, hmmmm, you know? I was thinking, this feels a bit fast. I was thinking ahead. It's okay going fast now but in fifteen miles time I wasn't going to be feeling quite so groovy. So I eased back a bit. I was still thanking people but I was a bit concerned now. I wasn't smiling.
There's no such fucking thing as just slowing down a bit. Perhaps really good guys can do that but I can't. I know if I have to slow down it's because I'm fucked. I know that from experience but yet I told myself it was fine, I was pacing myself. And then, of course, I was really slowing down. And that was odd because this was only nine miles in. I can run nine miles no problem. I took a bottle of Powerade from a drink station. My throat was completely dry. I wasn't thirsty but I've had a sore throat for two weeks. That's not an excuse because I've been running fine with a sore throat. The excuse is to come. I was holding the bottle and I was thinking, this isn't happening. And so on a quiet lane I started to walk. Seventeen miles to go. This is a right pickle you've got yourself into, here, Jamie, you dick, I mused.
My leg was sore but then I was running a marathon, there'd be something wrong if my leg wasn't sore. It wasn't that sore. I wasn't limping. There were many more people behind me than in front of me. That was one thing, I thought, as they began passing me. Still 95% of them were still behind me. I'd just start running again, in a bit, I told myself.
I walked past a marshal who said that I was doing really well. She must not have been a running expert but I thanked her for her support. And so as to not listen to that again I started running. First few steps were painful but that eased and I was running again. I'd just catch the group who passed, I thought. That didn't happen. Of course it didn't. Who was I kidding?
I grunted at stupid people waving at somebody running shitly. They were saying things like, 'well done.' Oh right, yeah, I was thinking and then I was approaching the shop. There must have been thirty people ahead of me now. That wasn't going to look good. I saw Enrique and Paula sitting on the wall. I expected them to do something or say something. Perhaps display the banner I'd caught them making but they sat there in silence, their heads tracking my slow progress down the road. I looked at them for a bit and then continued to stare at the road ahead. I was pretty much half way.
Further down the road the pain started to build in my leg and I was thinking, this isn't right. People were passing me left, right and centre. No, not centre, that's impossible. But I was coming up to St Peter's Village. There's a Co-op there and people. I wanted to walk. I was limping now. My leg was killing me.
Is my leg killing me, though? I thought, you know? I was limping and it was hurting but was it really hurting that much? I couldn't tell. I wondered if I was putting the limp on. It was by no means the worst pain I've ever felt. It just felt sore. Should be able to run through that. Off the main road and out of sight of spectators I had to walk again. I walked around the corner and there's a big group of gawpers clapping like monkeys. I turned around, there was nobody coming but me. "Don't clap, eh?" I said. "I'll have to speed up!" They laughed at that. What seemed like five minutes later they were still clapping and I still hadn't got to them. "You're doing great!" One said when I finally got to them. How exactly am I doing great? I'm only one stage up from standing still, from sitting on the wall with you, I thought. I was thinking about my leg. It was sore but not crippling. I got going again. I didn't run far this time. Maybe a mile before thinking, fuck this.
I was at the airport. Right on the main road. I walked and people shouted from cars. Luckily I was wearing my cap so people couldn't see my eyes. I was head down. I started running again at some point. Seemed to be when running the pain built in the top of my right leg. It just built to a point where it was very uncomfortable but not crippling. I was confused. I'd walk and it'd still be sore but then I'd run and it'd be really fucking sore for a bit but then that lessened and I could run for a couple of miles before the pain built again. I was not happy.
I wasn't too far from my house. I was going to just go home but I had my timing chip I had to return. Had to get my bag. Had to get my car. I also feared my wife would have taken the kids out to watch the race.
The kid was quite impressed with my 10th place finish last year. Although I was actually eleventh. I was 10th male though, a woman beat me, but she doesn't count. I feared my wife had taken the kids out to watch. They'd be in one of two places. At the nineteen mile point or the twenty-two mile point. I definitely had to finish.
Fuck! What a load of shit.
What if they were standing there? I walked and ran and walked and ran. They weren't at the nineteen miles point. They weren't at the twenty-two mile point. They were at home.
I mean, people were passing me and really hobbling but still running. They looked in a lot more pain than I was. My pain was a five or a six. They had eight or nine. It was fucked up. I watched the people hobble past.
There was four miles left along the front, it was into a headwind. I walked for a bit and then ran. My leg didn't hurt much during that last bit and I passed a lot of the people who were clearly crippled and in terrible pain. A lot of them I'd passed numerous times already. They must have thought I was a twat. I didn't shout encouragement at them because I certainly wouldn't have wanted to hear it. Then I was at the finish. I kind of wished I'd collapse over the line and be rushed to hospital but no, I was fine. I was in much less pain at the finish than last year.
I dunno.

David Little, 2007 K-State Graduate and Corporate Pilot
What do you do?
I am a pilot for Justiss Oil Company. We are based in central Louisiana in the town of Jena.
What aviation journey did you take to get to your current position?
I began flying at 14 years old. I would take a lesson here and there on the weekends. Aviation sparked my interest from the first lesson. For me, it was not a difficult choice when it was time to graduate high school, I knew where I was headed, K-State @ SLN! I started as a Freshman at K-State with my private pilot license. In two years, I had finished my CFI. That was a big step for anyone in aviation. It is the first time that you get paid to fly. My career had begun while I was a Junior in college teaching students how to fly. I continued to pursue my degree in Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Technology. I would flight instruct before class, in between classes and after class. In order to make ends meet I also worked on the line at a FBO on the field at KSLN.
I graduated in December 2007 after attending K-State @ SLN for 3 1/2 years. I began interviewing for jobs during my last semester of college. I had interviewed with several regional airlines and also attended a job fair in Dallas. All of the interviews and effort put forth was well worth the stress. At the time, the economy was doing very well. Little did I know, the economy was taking a turn for the severe worse in less than a year. I decided to accept an offer from Air Wisconsin Airlines. I graduated on a Friday and started work the following Monday (In hindsight, take a little time for yourself!). I began training in Appleton, WI studying the CRJ-200 from top to bottom and front to back. It was nearly 3 months of training after the Simulator Training was completed at US Airways Training Facility in Charlotte, NC. It was the most intense and thorough training I had ever imagined. It was such a great foundation for my career. It had taken everything that K-State taught me and compounded it and I was able to build a great base for everything from learning aircraft systems to flying the most difficult and fun approaches to communicating with all types of personalities from crew members. I really enjoyed flying the CRJ-200 for Air Wisconsin but it would not last forever as the economy was on its downward spiral. I was furloughed on 9/11/2009.
As good fortune would have it along with a sold work ethic, I was able to find another job. I began working for Justiss Oil Company on 9/15/2009 (only out of work for 4 days!). I am very blessed to have found a job where you are treated with respect and trusted as a professional. I have been with Justiss Oil for nearly 4 years and have enjoyed working for a great group of people.
What would you do differently?
I could not be where I am today without going down the path that I did. With that being said, it was not a smooth path as a great deal of effort and stress were encountered amongst moves and job changes. Looking back, I appreciate every step that I took to get to where I am today and would not change anything.
What advice would you give a current college student?
Absorb any information you can that pertains to flying. Work hard while you are in school, it will pay off for you.
What advice would you give to a new graduate?
Prepare and plan for your future. Start researching what jobs are available and pursuing all available opportunities. You never know which door will open without trying.
What is your favorite part about your job/ aviation?
I feel that as situations and circumstances change in your life so do your favorite qualities of a job. At one stage in my life the greatest thing about my job would have been the flying and the places that where we spend time. Now I believe I would say that my favorite part of my job is the amount of time I am able to spend with my children and wife.

Dr. Ida P. Rolf, Ph.D. (1896–1979) was a biochemist and the creator of Structural Integration, later called Rolfing, and a huge influence in the development of bodywork in general.
Dr. Rolf explored multiple forms of alternative healing in an effort to better understand the body, initially to help herself and her sons with health issues. In the development of Structural Integration, later to be called Rolfing, she drew from yoga, osteopathy, chiropractic, and other modalities.
The central focus of Dr. Rolf's work was to see that the body's organization in gravity is absolutely essential to order and health, and the connective tissues (fascia) play a crucial role in how ordered or disordered the body is at any time.

Our organization has partnered with the Cooper family to develop this program in honor of Kyle Ray Cooper, a native of Casa Grande who was a talented musician and guitarist. This program was created to honor the memory of Kyle and to share his passion for the guitar with young people at our Main Branch. Knowing that music enriches a child's mind, enables creativity and serves as a therapeutic outlet for their emotions, KaRe Camp is dedicated to helping children develop a passion for music – specifically the guitar – that will positively impact the rest of their lives.
Our organization will begin accepting applications for KaRe Camp later this month (any Club Member in 5th – 8th grade can apply), and this program will start in September at our Main Branch with five Club Members. Upon being selected, Club Members will commit to attending weekly lessons and practicing at home throughout the 2018-19 school year. At the end of the year, any participant who meets all program criteria will be given a guitar of their own.

Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. At 5885 m (19 308 ft) high Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world. Actually it is a volcano, composed of three distinct cones. On the top of it there are glaciers of course. However they are melting rapidly and NASA estimates that by 2060 they will be entirely dried out.
Climber Will Gadd has challenged himself to climb ice all around the world. Together with Red Bull he made a journey to the highest points of Kilimanjaro: he climbed the steepest glaciers – something that is quite unusual for the most climbers. Now there is only Antarctica left for him. See the pictures – they look quite unearthly!
Why to go there?
Kilimanjaro will definitely provide a very exciting climbing experience. One doesn't need to be a professional, therefore simply a good health condition will be enough since there is a number of treks that will suite any level of experience.
When to go there?
Go there during the dry season: from late June to October and from late December to February or early March.
How to get there?
Get to Kilimanjaro Airport from Amsterdam or by Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways and some other local airlines. You can climb alone or with a guide, since tourism is very well developed here.

The Cupping Room - Wan ChaiHong Kong
The Cupping Room – Located in Wan Chai, Hong Kong is 1 of 3 of other locations within Hong Kong… a quant cafe that bares hustle of Hong Kong at its finest. With a simple yet specialty menu, the flavor experience is worth paying this award cafe a visit.
Hello, welcome to the second episode of Coffee Geek TV. My apologies for the background noise! I'm here at the second location with the lovely Yan Yan. We're at the Cupping Room, world-renowned for employing the 2nd and 4th best baristas for 2016.
We are trying these two coffees right now- Limu Gera and Pavon from Columbia. They are both excellent brews, but we love Limu Gera. The reason we like it is that it has an interesting flavor. It is rich in color, and the beautiful pottery complements the brew.
I enjoyed this coffee the most. Yan Yan loved it as well. Did you. Yan Yan?
Yan Yan: Yes I did, very much.
That's it for us at the Cupping Room. Peace out!

Should I Keep An Undeserved Bonus?
Q. My boss has decided to give me a big bonus for something I only helped with; another worker deserves it more than I do. But I need the money, and she is pretty well off. What's the right thing to do?
A. Maybe your contribution was more integral to the success of the project than you realize. But, regardless, you should be forthcoming. Not only does our tradition demand honesty in how we conduct business, but it's really the most practical professional decision you can make.
You still may get the monetary bonus, plus the additional benefits of a grateful co-worker and big-time brownie points from a boss who'll admire your integrity and humility.
But were you to accept the payment without comment, every time you pass your colleague at the water cooler you'd wonder if she's on to you… and has she told the boss?

From this "harmless" little episode – not even an outright lie – could cascade a Had Gadya effect of unintended consequences leading to your ultimate dismissal.
On the other hand, as we play this out, your co-worker could save you at the last minute because she always had a mad crush on you, then you marry and have a kid who makes a bundle in the stock market, buys out your boss and then throws it all away to become a rabbi…. But I digress).
The letters comprising the term for truth, Emet, are the first, last and middle letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Those who embrace the truth can confidently reach out in all directions and build successful working relationships. In contrast, the letters for the word for "lie," sheker, are huddled together in a corner at the end of the alphabet, looking much like you would look if you played out this ruse, a guilt-burdened employee cowering in a corner behind his desk.
Emet, is repeated seven times, almost mantra-like, in the morning liturgy, just after the Sh'ma. In the evening version of that same prayer, Emet is joined by Emunah: trust. Our prayers are telling us that trust and truth go hand in hand.
But anyone who's ever worked in an office already knows that.

The UST Growling Tigers together with the UST crowd celebrate as the Tigers beat the Bulldogs in overtime at the Smart Araneta Coliseum 58-57.
Photo ©Yahoo! Sports Philippines
After the devastating 27 point defeat at the hands of the FEU Tamaraws, call these Tigers once again the "Comeback Kings" of the UAAP as they pull off their 4th come from behind victory in UAAP Season 75 as they defeat the NU Bulldogs in overtime at the Smart Araneta Coliseum 58-57. With the win, the Tigers go up to 7-2 tied with the Tamaraws and keeping their sight on the league-leading Ateneo at 7-1. The Tigers were down by as many as 17 points during the game and were held to only 14 points in the first half. However, the Tigers once again showed their "never say die" attitude in coming back from large deficits to pull off big victories this season.
Aljon Mariano sets another career high in scoring this season with 22 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block including the game winning shot in overtime with 4.4 seconds left in the overtime period. Jeric Fortuna scored 8 points, a season high 8 assists and 5 rebounds including the three pointer which sent the game into overtime. Karim Abdul finished with a double-double 10 points and 10 rebounds with 3 blocks and 2 steals, but fouled out in the overtime period and was limited by the imposing defense of the Bulldogs big men like Emmanuel Mbe and Henri Betayene. Jeric Teng and Clark Bautista also scored 8 points each. While Kevin Ferrer only scored a basket which was off a missed three by Jeric Teng to keep the Tigers afloat in the 4th quarter, however he did a spectacular job of defending Bobby Ray Parks throughout the game.
Parks led the Bulldogs with a double-double 15 points (9 of them were at the line), 11 rebounds with 4 blocks, 2 assists and 2 steals. Mbe also finished with a double-double 10 points and 13 rebounds but had to go through cramps in the final moments of the game. Mark De Guzman scored 8 points.
Next game for the Tigers will be against the De La Salle Green Archers in Round 2 of the Battle of the Tengs as UST's Jeric once again squares off against his younger brother DLSU's Jeron at the Mall of Asia Arena on Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at 12pm (delayed telecast on Studio 23 at 2pm)
Also, there was a revision in the upcoming schedule for the second round of the UAAP. Here is the new schedule for the games of your UST Tigers:
vs DLSU Green Archers: August 29, 12:00 pm, Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay
vs AdU Soaring Falcons: September 1, 12:00 pm, Smart Araneta Coliseum, Quezon City
vs UP Fighting Maroons: September 8, 2:00 pm, Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay
vs ADMU Blue Eagles: September 15, 4:00 pm, Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay
vs UE Red Warriors: September 20, 2:00 pm, Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay
Go USTe! One for UST! VIVA SANTO TOMAS!
