Fire Characteristics of Dibond Material
It is necessary to know the fire characteristics of materials when they are used in applications where there may be stringent rules on how the materials behave when exposed to sources of combustion.
Sometimes it is necessary to know the fire characteristics of materials that are used in the production of certain signage, graphics, exhibits or displays. These characteristics become important when the materials are used in applications where there may be stringent rules on how the materials behave when exposed to sources of combustion.
The following sections the standards Dibond has been tested to, and where applicable it's classifications under these standards.
Standard for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances
The test method is intended to characterize flame propagation of a material and its tendency to char. The test also indicates the tendency of the material to produce flaming particles which could ignite a cotton indicator located below the sample. It is used to determine a material's tendency either to extinguish or to spread the flame once the specimen has been ignited.
There are various flame classifications specified in UL 94 that are assigned to materials based on the results of these small-scale flame tests. These classifications are used to distinguish a material's burning characteristics after test specimens have been exposed to a specified test flame under controlled laboratory conditions.
|UL-94 Classification
|Dibond Gauges
|2 mm
|3 mm
|4 mm
These classifications show that the material was tested in a vertical position and self-extinguished within a specified time after the ignition source was removed. These classifications also indicate that the material dripped no flaming particle that ignited a cotton indicator located below the sample.
ASTM E-84 (UL Steiner Tunnel Test)
Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials
The test method uses a sample of material 20-24" wide by 24' long that fits under the roof of a 25' long tunnel forming the ceiling of the tunnel. Gas burners on one end of the tunnel impinge a flame on 7 square feet of the test specimen. The rate of progression of flame is observed as it passes side windows in the tunnel. The decrease in light caused by smoke development is measured by a photometer.
The flame propagation is plotted as distance vs. time. The photometer data is plotted as percent of absorption vs. time. The flame spread and smoke development indexes are then calculated and reported.

Photographer's Note
This is one of my latest photos, I took this picture in the butterfly garden in the Perm city.
Butterfly gardening is a growing school of gardening, specifically wildlife gardening, that is aimed at creating an environment that attracts butterflies, as well as certain moths, such as those in the Hemaris genus. Butterfly gardening is often aimed at inviting those butterflies and moths to lay eggs as well. Because some plants are not fed upon by adult butterflies, the caterpillar host should also be planted for a bigger population of butterflies. Butterflies typically feed on the nectar of flowers, and there are hundreds of such plants that may be planted to attract them, depending on the location, time of year, and other factors. In addition to the planting of flowers that feed butterflies, other means of attracting them include constructing ¨butterfly houses¨, providing sand for puddling, water, and other resources or food items, including rotten fruit.

Hello Serghei,
You made a fine portrait of this pretty girl and the beautiful butterfly. You have captured her obvious fascination and tenderness very well. The colours and light are great and the superb sharpness makes me see every strand of her hair (which looks a bit electrified).

Sale moves from national stage back to local
CHICAGO -- When the Tigers visit the White Sox for the first time during the 2013 season Monday, Max Scherzer and Chris Sale, the first two pitchers from the American League's All-Star victory Tuesday, will be on the mound.
Sale enjoyed his second All-Star appearance as much as his first one in 2012, but seeing Mariano Rivera's final inning in the Midsummer Classic gave this trip to New York a little extra meaning.
"Hearing the music start, seeing him run in and warming up on the field and watching him out there was the coolest thing … by far," said a smiling Sale of Rivera working a scoreless eighth Tuesday.
Rivera earned Most Valuable Player honors, but Sale also stood as a deserving selection. He threw two scoreless innings, striking out National League home run leader Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki among the six straight he set down.
That effort put the 24-year-old more so on the national stage than his breakout 17-win performance from '12 and his continued '13 dominance already had. The White Sox even have made him the focus of a marketing campaign to bring fans out to specifically watch him in action.
Ultimately, Tuesday became just another step toward overall excellence, although an extremely fun one for Sale, his family and the White Sox organization.
"Any time you have success on the mound, whether it be in the game or on a bullpen, you build confidence from that," Sale said. "I would like to use that going forward."
"From last year to this year, he's just gotten better, more mature and understands what it takes to go through the season as a starter instead of being out in the bullpen," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura of Sale. "You hear guys on other teams who face him all the time -- their reaction to him -- it matches up pretty well with what we see and what they feel when they're up there."

Next: Other FSF Software, Previous: Compile-time vs Install-time, Up: Compile-time vs Install-time [Contents][Index]
Although the Free Software Foundation has many enlightened practices regarding Makefiles and software installation (see see Other FSF Software), Emacs, its flagship program, doesn't quite follow the rules. In particular, most GNU software allows you to write:
make make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/package
If you try this with Emacs, then the new value for prefix in the 'make install' step will cause some files to get recompiled with the new value of prefix wired into them. In Emacs 19.23 and later,8 the way to work around this problem is:
make make install-arch-dep install-arch-indep prefix=/usr/local/stow/emacs
In 19.22 and some prior versions of Emacs, the workaround was:
make make do-install prefix=/usr/local/stow/emacs
As I write this, the current version of Emacs is 19.31.

Oh, the dreaded gap.
A visible gap between buttons is probably the most common problem that women encounter wearing cotton button down shirts. What to do?
- Buy shirts that are sized by bra size, not dress size. This kind of sizing system allows the designer to account for the difference in size between your bust line and your rib cage, just like your bra does. If the shirt has too small a difference, you end up with a gap. Rebecca & Drew Manufacturing is one of the best-known makers of these shirts.
- Buy a larger size to fit the bust well, and tailor down around the waist. This a more time consuming and possibly more expensive option, but you'll be assured a perfect fit. And the useful thing about these shirts is that they are so neutral, you can wear them over and over again.
- Pins, tape, velcro and other clever devices. This will work if the gap is very slight, but in general a force fit is no fit.
- Just don't wear them. The thing about putting a distinctly menswear clothing item on a woman's body is that it simply does not work very well, particularly if the woman has particularly womanly curves. There are so many options available to us, we really can just let this one go.

Healthy & Delicious: Poblano Black-Eyed Pea Dip Recipe
Healthy and delicious recipes from Serious Eats
Editor's note: On Mondays, Kristen Swensson Sturt of Cheap, Healthy, Good swings by these parts to share healthy and delicious recipes with us. Take it away, Kristen!
From Diane Morgan's Skinny Dips—a compilation of 60 health-minded vegetable, legume, meat and cheese spreads—Poblano Black-Eyed Pea Dip is a solid stand-in for when you finally get sick of hummus. If you've ever experienced Chickpea Fatigue, you know it doesn't happen often. But when it does, usually as a result of too little variation in your dip/spread repertoire, finding a temporary substitute is advisable.
Our poblano candidate is a mildly zesty dip, one for people who claim to have a medium spice tolerance but are actually lying. Roasting the pepper deepens the dip's flavor, but doesn't add the moisture you would expect from something largely composed of produce. In fact, that was maybe the recipe's one drawback—it could have used a little chicken broth or olive oil to smooth things out.
But let's not split hairs. Spread this on a pita, roll it up in a tortilla, or scoop it with celery—it doesn't matter. As long as you finish the bowl, you'll be satisfied, with virtually no residual guilt, and maybe even a craving for hummus. In which case? Problem solved.
- Yield:Makes 7 servings of 1/4 cup each
- Active time: 15 mintues
- Total time:30 minutes
- Rated:
- 2 medium poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, and chopped
- 1 (15-ounce) can black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup diced vidalia onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
In a food processor, pulse chiles until chopped small. Add black-eyed peas, onion, salt, and pepper. Puree. Add sour cream. Puree until just incorporated. Add 1 tablespoon cilantro. Puree until just incorporated. Taste the dip, and adjust seasoning as you see fit. Serve with remaining 1 tablespoon of cilantro sprinkled on top.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — State regulators directed Pacific Gas and Electric to keep a Northern California natural gas pipeline shut down until they verify its safety following concerns that surfaced in an email from an engineer. The California Public Utilities Commission has opened an investigation to determine whether any immediate dangers are posed by the pipeline in the San Francisco Bay Area city of San Carlos, saying the findings would be made public, and PG&E was not authorized to re-energize the pipeline until the probe is completed.
"We are committed to ensuring that PG&E is operating pipelines safely," CPUC Mike Florio said in a statement. "We will not compromise safety." The utility complied with a judge's order and on Monday shut down the 83-year-old pipeline, but maintains that it is safe despite concerns from the engineer, a contractor whose email questioned the welding on the pipeline known as Line 147. The judge ordered the shutdown after San Carlos city officials discovered the email saying PG&E's records incorrectly show the line containing a newer, more reliable weld than it actually has, and said the city was in a state of emergency.
"We appreciate the CPUC's acting quickly to keep this line shut down," City Manager Jeff Maltbie said Tuesday. PG&E said it welcomes the chance to demonstrate the safety of the line and the recent work done on it. "Customers in these communities can be assured that Line 147 is safe and we look forward to the opportunity to document all the work that has gone into maintaining and operating this line safely," PG&E said in a statement. PG&E said the contractor's email came from the sort of due diligence the company encourages, and that the leaking section of pipeline that it discussed has been repaired and withstood the rigorous safety tests instituted after a 2010 explosion of a pipeline in San Bruno 12 miles away.
That blast and the gas-fueled fire that followed led to eight deaths, destroyed 38 homes and laid waste to much of the surrounding neighborhood.

I spend plenty of time following fashion, travel and hospitality blogs in between the time I'm not actually travelling or shopping, this all of which falls under "reconnaissance" for related Linkbuildr clients (so I'm technically working, if anyone asks). One boutique hotel with stellar online visibility is the Ace Hotel brand, catching my eye on a number of occasions over the last year. The Ace Hotel brand has a focus on their patron's experiences, and they bring this to them with an art-fashion prerogative, an active social life, and stylish blog to match. Their reputation and fashion-forward thinking has spawned a range of cross-branded products, which has in turn become linkbait, generating blog content. This is on top of all the links sprouted by their varied events and parties.
Ace Hotel Cross-Branding
With any cross-branding collaboration, brand alignment and authenticity, is crucial. Thiscan't be forced; it has to come naturally, which it does in Ace's case. You take a search for them on top fashion blogs and you'll find plenty of examples of this, from exclusive Havaianas sandals being offered in their Palm Spring location's mini-bar to Wings + Horns designed boxing-style robe, a tribute to their NYC building's boxing history. Most are available on their online store, making great mementos for Ace patrons or just fans of Ace or the collaborating brands. Check out the Ace blog posts of the Havainas sandals and Wings + Horn boxing robe; both have their own story of the cross-branding involved. These details and insight truly make Ace's brand shine. Now on to how this translates to perfect linkbait and an excellent example of inbound marketing.
Ace Hotel's Natural Linkbait
Ace Hotel naturally exudes an inbound marketing and SEO prowess that you can't manufacture. My cross-branding pick to showcase this is Ace Hotel's collaboration with Converse on a custom line of Chuck Taylor sneakers. The Chuck Taylor sneakers have been around since the 70s and have held their relevance by serving as a blank canvas to be styled in unlimited ways, similar to Nike's Air Force 1. This gives each new artist-designed or cross-branded Chuck Taylor release its own character, making each sneaker a little piece of art. This aligns perfectly with Ace Hotel's brand, as they host countless fashion, art, music and design-related events and parties.
The first edition was released Jan. 5 with this blog post, which told the story of its unique details and purpose as staff uniform. It was then released in limited numbers to the public to follow. This spread through the fashion blogosphere, appearing on blogs such as HighSnobiety. This hits their prime target audience, people who are interesting in fashion, art and design trends. When they step out for events, parties or head out of town, they want an experience that matches their interest.
The series of posts, tweets and shares that followed grew a wealth of links and traffic. A Google search for this release from Jan. 5 until Jan. 19, found 77 links with Ace Hotel, converse and Chuck Taylor in the title, all linking back to the Ace Hotel store or blog.
A second edition was released Mar. 30, this version fitted for rainy weather, with waxed canvas and rubber navy outsoles. A nod to their rain-prone locations in Seattle and Portland, their staff was equipped with them, with a limited release to the public. A Google search for the second release (Mar. 30 until Apr. 12), yielded 98 links.
Residual Brand Equity and Link Building
Brand equity residuals come in several forms from this example. The first is through storytelling. The staff gets a stylish pair of custom sneakers, a rare perk at any job, which they get to share with their social circle. The buyers lucky enough to grab a pair get a nice memento of Ace Hotel, along with the story to tell their friends. And I can guarantee these sneakers and their story found their way onto these groups' social media networks within minutes.
For link building, this example served as a perfect topic for fresh fashion blog content. With the two releases garnering 175 links between them in the first two weeks, searching in just the post title alone. Not including the wealth of social mentions that accompany that many posts.
Blog as your brand anchor, with social media support.
Outside of their achievements in branding and cross-branding, their blog and strong social media presence are integral to their success. The Ace blog carries the brand, personality, and self-conscious style from their hotels across to their online presence. This completes the modern synergy needed to complete a customer's brand experience. It features event recaps, art, interviews and branded and cross-branded products. They also have a strong following, with 8,500 Facebook fans and over 10,000 Twitter followers. These channels are used beyond just for broadcasting their blog, thanks to their busy social life. With all the events, shows and activity in and around Ace Hotels, they never run out of interesting things to say. Like a socialite friend who acts as a hub for your social circle, Ace Hotel is this friend.
Boutique hotel brands take note
For boutique hotels, active collaborations, events and parties are essential to build a boutique brand. This will serve as blog fuel, enabling each post to be inspired instead of mandatory. This needs to be paired with active, authentic social media management to engage your customers and showcase your brand personality. These elements complete the brand experience, which is the value that customers look for in a boutique hotel, over a faceless hotel chain. The personality of your boutique hotel has to be felt from your rooms out to your tweets. This connection is what brings customer back, who will in turn serve as ambassadors for your hotel. This is all something that Ace Hotels does naturally, making them my case study pick for organic seo and inbound marketing in the boutique hotel industry.

Dodgers announce 2014 coaching staff
Tim Wallach becomes club's bench coach while Lorenzo Bundy joins the Major League staff as third base coach
The Los Angeles Dodgers today announced their coaching staff for the 2014 season with manager Don Mattingly and nine coaches returning, Tim Wallach shifting roles to become bench coach and the addition of Lorenzo Bundy as the club's third base coach. General Manager Ned Colletti made the announcement.
2014 Dodger Coaching Staff:
Don Mattingly - Manager (fourth season)
Lorenzo Bundy - Third Base coach (first season)
Chuck Crim - Bullpen Coach (second season)
Rick Honeycutt - Pitching Coach (ninth season)
Davey Lopes - First Base Coach (fourth season)
Mark McGwire - Hitting Coach (second season)
Tim Wallach - Bench Coach (first season, fourth on staff)
Ken Howell - Assistant Pitching Coach (second season, seventh on staff)
John Valentin - Assistant Hitting Coach (second season)
Manny Mota - Coach (35th season)
Steve Yeager - Coach (third season)
Mattingly enters his fourth season as the Dodgers' manager after leading the club to the National League Championship Series and a 92-70 record in 2013. Mattingly's .536 winning percentage (260-225) in three years as the Dodger skipper ranks fifth in franchise history among managers with at least 350 games managed. A former American League MVP, nine-time Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner and six-time All-Star, Mattingly is the ninth manager in Los Angeles Dodger history and 27th in franchise history.
Bundy joins the Dodgers' Major League staff after managing Triple-A Albuquerque for the last three seasons. Under Bundy, the Isotopes went 225-206 (.522) and tied a franchise record with 80 wins in 2012, when he was honored as the Pacific Coast League's Manager of the Year. Overall, the 54-year-old has managed 12 seasons in the minors in the Expos (1990-94), Marlins (1997) and Dodger organizations (2007-08, 2010-2013) and the 2014 season will mark Bundy's fourth time serving on a big league coaching staff after working as the Marlins' bench coach (1998), the Rockies' bullpen coach (1999) and the Diamondbacks' first base coach (2009). Bundy played eight professional seasons from 1981-89 with stints in the Texas, Pittsburgh and Montreal organizations in addition to playing in the Mexican League after he was originally selected by Baltimore in the 22nd round of the 1977 draft.
Crim enters his second season as bullpen coach and his eighth in the Dodger organization after serving as an amateur scout (2007-08), Rookie-Advanced Ogden's pitching coach (2009), Single-A Great Lakes' pitching coach (2010) and Double-A Chattanooga's pitching coach (2011-12). Last season, the Dodger bullpen posted a 3.49 ERA and ranked fourth in the NL with a .240 opponents' batting average. Dodger relievers ranked fourth with 46 saves and tied for second in the NL with 30 victories. The Van Nuys native was a reliever in the big leagues for the Brewers, Angels and Cubs from 1987-94, posting a career record of 47-43 with 45 saves and a 3.83 ERA.
Honeycutt enters his ninth consecutive season as the Dodgers' pitching coach, making him the longest tenured full-time coach on the Dodgers' staff. Since Honeycutt became the pitching coach in 2006, his staff has led the Major Leagues in ERA (3.71), opponents' batting average (.248) and strikeouts (9,836). Last season, Los Angeles ranked second in the Majors with a 3.25 ERA while ranking second in the National League in strikeouts (1,292) and third in opponents' batting average (.243). Under Honeycutt's tutelage, Clayton Kershaw (1.83) led the Majors in ERA for the third consecutive season while Zack Greinke (2.64) and Hyun-Jin Ryu (3.00) finished fourth and tied for eighth in the NL, respectively.
Lopes will enter his 27th season as a Major League coach and fourth with the Dodgers, returning as the first base coach and baserunning instructor after playing for the team from 1972-82. Widely acknowledged as one of the best baserunning coaches in baseball, Lopes was a part of the longest-tenured infield in Major League history along with Steve Garvey, Bill Russell and Ron Cey from 1973-81.
McGwire enters his second season as the Dodger hitting coach. In his first campaign with the club, the Dodgers hit .264 with an on-base percentage of .326, marks that both ranked third in the National League. Prior to joining Los Angeles, McGwire was the Cardinals' hitting coach from 2010-12 and helped St. Louis lead the NL in hitting during their World Championship 2011 season. In a 16-year Major League career with the Athletics and Cardinals, McGwire hit 583 home runs (363 with Oakland), the 10th-most in baseball history.
Wallach, who played for the Dodgers from 1993-96, begins his fourth season on the Dodgers' Major League staff and first as Don Mattingly's bench coach after serving as the club's third base coach from 2011-13. Wallach spent four seasons as a minor league manager, setting a franchise record for victories (80) for the Dodgers' Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes in 2009 to earn Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year honors. Wallach was a standout player at Cal State Fullerton from 1978-79 and, in 2011, was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame. The 56-year-old was the Montreal Expos' first-round pick (10th overall) in 1979 and went on to make five All-Star teams (1984-85, '87-90), win three Rawlings Gold Gloves at third base (1985, '88, '90) and two Silver Sluggers (1985, '87).
Howell is entering his second season as Assistant Pitching Coach after serving as the Dodgers' bullpen coach from 2008-12. In his four seasons as bullpen coach, the Dodgers led the National League with both a .234 opponents' batting average and 137 wins while ranking fourth on the circuit with 2,303 strikeouts. In his role as assistant pitching coach, Howell assists Honeycutt and Crim with their duties while also working with both the Dodger minor league affiliates and pitchers on rehab assignments. Howell pitched for seven seasons in the Major Leagues, including five with Los Angeles, and posted a 3.95 career ERA.
Valentin will enter his seventh season in the Dodger organization and second as assistant hitting coach. The 46-year-old was previously the hitting coach for Triple-A Albuquerque (2011-12) and Double-A Chattanooga (2010) and the manager for Double-A Chattanooga (2009) and Single-A Inland Empire (2008). Valentin is a veteran of 11 Major League seasons, primarily with the Boston Red Sox, winning the Silver Slugger Award at shortstop in 1995. The New York native finished his career with a .279 career batting average in 1,105 big league contests.
Mota will enter his 35th season as a coach with the Dodgers and 45th year overall in the organization. He donned a Dodger uniform as a player in parts of 13 seasons from 1969-80 and 1982 and finished his career as the all-time leading pinch-hitter in Major League history. Mota will assist the club in Spring Training and throughout the year.
Yeager enters his third season as a catching instructor with the Dodgers and will work with the club's Major League backstops in both Spring Training and throughout the season at Dodger Stadium. Yeager will also periodically visit the Dodgers' minor league partners and work with their catchers.

Apple Draws Up Blueprint for iTunes Renovation
Jun 29, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Apple's iTunes may be getting a facelift soon.
The new iTunes Store will be rolled out later this year -- most likely along with the next generation of Apple's popular iPhone -- and sport improved discovery and sharing capabilities, as well as better iCloud integration, according to a report by Bloomberg News.
While details of the makeover are sketchy, Bloomberg reported that one-way sharing among users would be improved would be to enable sharing of entire songs.
Apple has been unable to deploy that kind of sharing because of rights-holders' objections, but Bloomberg reported that the company may now be ironing out those problems.
It also noted that the store will better support multiple devices, as well as improve its social chops with enhanced integration with Facebook and Twitter.
Apple did not did not respond to our request to comment.
Changing Times
"I think it makes perfect sense that Apple is thinking of doing a rework," Carl Howe, research director at the Yankee Group, told MacNewsWorld.
The store needs to be re-engineered to keep up with the times, he said. "When iTunes launched in 2003, there was just music," he said. "Now we've got music and TV shows and apps and books."
While the iTunes Store has managed to accommodate new content types as they arrived, those accommodations have taken their toll, he continued.
"At some point, you've got to sit down an say, 'How do we create a really good, easy experience for consumers that doesn't involve them wading through endless tabs and subsections of the site," he observed.
Showing Its Age
Not only has the media landscape changed since 2003, but so has the music scene, observed Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst with the Enderle Group.
"There's a lot more ways for people to get music these days," he told MacNewsWorld. "The product depth of the service has fallen significantly behind other, younger offerings."
"It's still the largest and most successful, but it looks aging and aging badly, so it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Apple update it," he added. "It's good at seeing threats like this and resourcing what's needed to fix them."
Apple's online storage offering, iCloud, will be a crucial element to any iTunes redesign, according to IDC analyst Bob O'Donnell. "iCloud is critically important for Apple moving forward," he told MacNewsWorld.
"Integration between iTunes and iCloud is OK now, but not great," he continued. "So it makes perfect sense to pull those pieces together and make the sharing of media files as easy as it is with documents in iCloud."
It also makes sense for Apple to bundle the new iTunes Store with its iPhone and possibly iPad mini rollout in the fall, he added.
New Social Component
Back-end operations, like those behind iCloud, have always been a problem for Apple, according to Enderle. "iCloud is pretty bad compared to the back-end services of Microsoft, Google and Amazon," he asserted.
"Apple's coming at this from a relatively disadvantageous position, but since they're the largest [player in music], they just have to be good enough to hold onto their users," he added.
In addition to iCloud integration, another important element to any new iTunes Store will be its social component, according to Ben Bajarin, a principal with Creative Strategies. "That social side is one of the more compelling things that can be done going forward because it adds another layer of discoverability to the store," he said.
Apple dabbled with that when it introduced Ping to the store. That service will likely be phased out of any new iTunes Store. "It's a case of 'if first you don't succeed, don't keep flogging the old thing, try something different,'" Yankee's Howe observed.
"I think they're recognizing [Ping] was not the success they hoped it would be," he added.
Another possible addition to a new iTunes Store would be an "all you can eat" subscription music service, something Apple has opposed for a long time. However, "Apple has come out with things it has been opposed to in the past so it wouldn't be the first time that's happened," IDC's O'Donnell observed.

Charlie Rose did his best to avoid asking any tough questions during
an interview of President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle that aired
on Sunday's CBS Sunday Morning and Monday's CBS This Morning.
Rose devoted over four straight minutes to the couple's summer
vacation, family life, and marriage. He also touted the Democrat's
ObamaCare law as "enormously successful," and wondered if it was his "proudest achievement in the first four years."
Rose, who hounded House Speaker John Boehner over Rep. Paul Ryan's budget plan during a April 2012 interview, harkened back to the 2008 Obama campaign and early presidency by showing off a 2009 issue of Newsweek with a picture of the President taking the oath of office. He then asked, "This was also a time of 'yes, we can'; hope and change. What happened to that, because that's not the narrative today?"
The CBS journalist immediately set the softball tone of the interview
during the first segment on Sunday by complimenting the Obamas over the
White House venue, as the three of them stood outside on a balcony: "It's not a bad place to live....Well,
you got a basketball court; you got a tennis court. You have a
fountain. You can see the Washington Monument." Rose's first question
couldn't have been easier: "How are you going to spend your summer? What is summer vacation?"
The President responded, in part, by noting how his daughters were off at a sleep-away camp and his experience with what he labeled "the first stages of empty nest syndrome." The anchor sympathetically replied, "Are you prepared for that?" Rose kept up the kid glove treatment during the first half of the segment by asking about hypothetical travel destinations: "You didn't have all of these important things to do, and you could travel to anyplace in the world, where would you want to go? What would you want to see and experience?"
Even after the journalist switched the venue to the Blue Room of the White House "to talk about affairs of state and matters of politics," he sucked up to presidential couple by reading what he labeled a supposedly "fascinating" anecdote about their marriage:
ROSE: I noticed you playing a prominent role in the campaign -- but also because of the significance of family. I
read you though, this, that I found fascinating. You said, I trust her
completely, but at the same time, she's also a complete mystery to me in
some ways. It is that tension between familiarity and mystery that
makes for something strong. Is that even more so now and in this place?
B. OBAMA: Absolutely. The-
M. OBAMA: That's very sweet.
B. OBAMA: Yeah-
M. OBAMA: Where did he write that?
B. OBAMA: Yeah. You know, I am happily surprised at how I think this experience has strengthened, rather than diminished our marriage. I rely on her even more now than I did back then, and I do think that part of the great thing about our marriage is, we have complete trust and honesty, and that keeps the relationship fresh. Yeah.
ROSE: Does this place change you?
M. OBAMA: You know, I don't -- I say this all the time. I think, particularly at our age - you know, late 40s-
B. OBAMA: Fifty-
M. OBAMA: Early 50s. You -- I'm 48-
ROSE: Have you forgotten that he just turned 50?
M. OBAMA: No, I didn't. I'm just being clear that I'm not there yet. (Michelle and Barack Obama laugh)....I have just been so proud to watch him maneuver through some pretty interesting waters and -- to retain himself. He shows us in the way he looks at me and the girls, when he comes home at 6:30, that there is nothing more important than being there with us. And the fact that he can do that, and then, later on after dinner, after we have walked the dog and got the girls started on their homework, he starts unloading his day, and I think, wow, is that what happened?..I am impressed with his steadiness.
When Rose finally got the issue of the campaign, he didn't press the Democrat on the economy, but merely presented the line of attack that the opposing Romney campaign has raised:
ROSE: ...[Romney] clearly will say, let's look at your record. Let's look at the fact that unemployment is at 8.2 percent, and is unlikely to change. Let's look at how effective the stimulus was....Let's look at your management of the economy....Yes, it was a bad hand you were dealt, but you have not made it to what it ought to be....That is the centrality of their campaign.
The CBS anchor ended the first segment with his showing off of the Newsweek cover (see picture above):
ROSE: Take a look at this. That's four years ago-
B. OBAMA: Look at that-
ROSE: Come January-
B. OBAMA: Almost no break- (Rose laughs)
ROSE: ...This was also a time of 'yes, we can'; hope and change. What happened to that, because that's not the narrative today?
B. OBAMA: Well, it's funny. You know, I just came back from a bus tour in Ohio, and we're now starting to get in the campaign swing. And I tell people this campaign's still about hope. If somebody asks you, it's still about change. Washington feels as broken as it did four years ago, and, you know, if you ask me what is the one thing that has frustrated me most over the last four years -- it's not the hard work. It's not the -- you know, enormity of the decisions. It's not the pace. It is that I haven't been able to change the atmosphere here in Washington, to reflect the decency s and common sense of ordinary people - Democrats, Republicans and independents - who I think just want to see their leadership solve problems. And, you know, there's enough blame to go around for that.
ROSE: And do you blame yourself, in part, because, I mean, you had this confidence - that you had the skills that would allow you to bridge the gap. I mean-
B. OBAMA: What -- I think there's no doubt that I underestimated the degree to which in this town, politics trumps problem solving.
The following day, on CBS This Morning, the closest Rose got
to asking a tough question was when he asked about what he might do
during a possible second term: "Where will you take the country, and
what will be the significant achievement, and why can you do it
in the next four years, if you could not do it in the first four years?
If you could not produce the grand bargain, how can you do it in the
next four?"
The anchor also raised the negative advertising coming from the President's campaign:
ROSE: Many people are looking at the campaign so far, and they're saying, I see too much negative campaigning, and not enough talk about the future. They look at your own ads from your own campaign, and they say that -- rather than talking about the future, there is an effort here to tear down your opponent and make him unacceptable, so there will not be a debate or a referendum on the first four years.
Rose ended the interview by trumpeting the chief executive's health
care law and how it was recently upheld by the Supreme Court: "You had
an enormously successful health care legislation because the Supreme
Court did not declare it unconstitutional. That's your proudest
achievement in the first four years?"
The anchor and his morning newscast have long been sympathetic towards first couple. Just days after CBS This Morning launched in January 2012, fellow anchor and open Obama supporter [1] Gayle King conducted her own softball interview of Mrs. Obama [2], which aired on two straight days. Rose, who attended a state dinner at the White House in March, spent more time talking about the wine [3] served at the function than the presence of major campaign donors. The veteran journalist also fished for "high marks" for the commander-in-chief from former Defense Secretary Robert Gates during a May 16, 2012 interview [4] on CBS This Morning.

Do you remember the good old days before the digital era when taking pictures wasn't taken for granted? There was something magical about using a camera with film, capturing faces, scenery and events that made an impression on you, filling up a roll of film and then waiting with anticipation to see the pictures after they were developed. Art Promos' line of promotional logo disposable cameras will stir up those old sentiments in those who remember the days of cameras with film. For those who only know digital photography, customized single use cameras will be a fun and memorable lesson in history and the science of picture taking and film development.
Promotional disposable cameras contain a pre-loaded, single roll of film. (Number of exposures varies from one camera to another. Be sure to read the product specifications to find out how many pictures you can expect to take with a particular single-use camera.) To take a picture, aim and click, then advance the film roll manually to get to the next exposure.
Custom logo disposable cameras are popular for use at weddings. Place one on each guest table and encourage guests to photograph events at and around their table. By the end of the wedding, the couple will have several dozen to hundreds of photos of their special day from the point of view of their guests. This idea works well at all kinds of different events, including parties and other kinds of celebrations. Disposable cameras with your logo are also great for corporate events.

Top 10 Things to Do with Kids in Kansas City, Missouri
With the Oceans of Fun water park, Legoland, the Kansas City Zoo and more, families will find plenty to fill a Midwest weekend getaway to Kansas City, Missouri.
1) The Kansas City Zoo It's more than a century old, but the arrivals of animals such as polar bears, penguins and red panda cubs keep visits fresh. The original building dates to 1909 and now houses an indoor rainforest. For some of the best views, glide 45 feet in the air in a ski-lift-style ride over the African Plains habitat. When you come back down to earth, take the renovated suspension bridge to the Congo section, where you'll meet gorillas, red river hogs and a rare Amur leopard. (816) 595-1234; kansascityzoo.org
2) Legoland Discovery Center In downtown's Crown Center, this playland holds more than 3 million tiny toy bricks. Marvel at the painstaking re-creations of Kansas City landmarks and miniature scenes from The Wizard of Oz in the Miniland area, then let the kids build and test race cars, zap trolls on the Kingdom Quest Laser Ride or watch one of several 4-D movies. (Combo tickets are available if you also want to hit the Sea Life Aquarium next door.) (816) 471-4386; legolanddiscoverycenter.com
3) Coterie Theater Bringing restless preschoolers probably isn't a good idea, but the Coterie makes a great introduction to theater for school-age kids. All seating is general admission, and staffers will guide you toward the best shows for your crew. (816) 474-6552; thecoterie.org
4) Fritz's Railroad Restaurant All aboard! This diner serves tasty signature burgers, crinkle-cut fries and milk shakes with a hearty dose of railroad nostalgia. Model trains chug overhead as you eat after delivering food you order via a telephone at your table that rings back to the kitchen. The recipe for the old-fashioned, grilled onion-garnished burgers hasn't changed since the restaurant opened in 1954. Why mess with a good thing? Three locations; fritzskc.com
5) Cedar Cove Feline Conservation Park This sanctuary about 45 minutes south of downtown Kansas City is like a small retirement home for lions, tigers and leopards. An all-volunteer staff keeps the place afloat, giving these beautiful creatures lots of TLC and educating the public. And Cedar Cove isn't just for cats; you'll also see other rescued animals, such as wolves and coatis (a member of the raccoon family). (913) 837-5515; saveoursiberians.org
6) Sea Life Aquarium Sharks, starfish, sea horses, stingrays and other creatures of the deep live in this 260,000-gallon underwater world. The turtle shelter is a great place to learn all about these humble reptile; some of the tanks are even shaped like turtles. Buying tickets online instead of at the door saves you a few bucks. (816) 471-4386; visitsealife.com/kansas-city/
7) Moon Marble Company Adults harboring fond memories of shooting giants and peewees on the playground will love this Bonner Springs store just across the Kansas state line. Kids enjoy browsing the traditional wooden toys, sock monkeys and board games. Owner and artisan Bruce Breslow is an expert when it comes to glass marbles; if you're lucky, you'll get to see him demonstrate how these colorful beauties are made. (913) 441-1432; moonmarble.com
8) College Basketball Experience You might work up a sweat at this sporty Sprint Center museum downtown. The 41,500-square-foot facility celebrates over 100 years of college hoops with interactive exhibits and the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. On-site courts let you shoot free throws, sink your own buzzer beater and dunk on a series of rims. Other activity stations focus on rebounding and passing skills, and you can test your broadcasting chops at the ESPNU desk. (816) 949-7500; collegebasketballexperience.com
9) Worlds of Fun/Oceans of Fun Ripride Raceway, with four side-by-side slides, debuts at Oceans of Fun in summer 2020, the first thrill attraction added to the water park since Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun joined in 2013. Twofer admission tickets get you into both facilities for one price. The Planet Snoopy section of Worlds of Fun has more than 20 rides, shows and attractions for young guests and their families. Looking for something more thrilling? The SteelHawk ride swings around a spire 300 feet in the air. (816) 454-4545; worldsoffun.com
10) Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center Accessible to Crown Center-area attractions like Legoland, Sea Life Aquarium and the Money Museum via enclosed skywalks, the Sheraton makes a great base for family stays.

Herman Miller Eames Outdoor Table, 48" Round Surface
designed by Charles and Ray Eames
At A Glance:
The timeless Eames Table has been revisited and revived for the outdoors. Herman Miller has engineered this mid-century classic to stand up to the weather by replacing parts not suitable for outdoor use, adding durable powder coating to the base, and offering stone tops that can stand the rain and look good year-round. Topped with a striking marble or granite table surface, this Eames masterpiece will become the focal point of your patio, porch, or dining room.
See the entire Herman Miller outdoor collection.
What's To Like:
We won't pretend to know all there is to know about great design, but we're certain of one thing: this table looks really, really good. From the bullnose-cut top to the proportionately formed base, everything just feels right. And now, for the first time ever, you can take your Eames table for a walk in the rain. (Send us a video if you actually end up doing that.)
What's Not to Like:
This isn't a table you'll sit at and stretch your legs all the way out in front of you. Its diameter won't allow it. But, on a patio or indoors, it'll work well for a party of 4. The low version, however, is strictly a coffee table. Who are we kidding, though? This shouldn't be "what's not to like" as much as "things to keep in mind."
The Bottom Line:
The round Eames Outdoor Table is beautiful, richly appointed, and an icon of the mid-century modern era. It's immediately recognizable for the enduring quality of its design, and will be an heirloom-quality feature anywhere you put it - on the patio, or indoors.
- Low height version: 16" h x 48" diameter
- Tall height version: 28.5" h x 48" diameter
- Coated metal column and base in white or graphite satin
- Marble or granite top
- Top is cut to order and finished with a bullnose edge
Table Surface Options:
- Georgia Grey Marble comes from the quarry that produced the marble used in the 2004 renovation of the Museum of Modern Art in New York
- Wisconsin Black Marble is a unique dark stone, speckled with lustrous green and grey veins
- Quebec Graphite Granite, a subtly patterned, deep-hued stone, was used to rich effect in Chicago's John Hancock Center
The Herman Miller Eames Outdoor Table is also known by the following manufacturer Item Numbers: ET548
About the Designer
Designers, artists, thinkers, and filmmakers- the Eameses were married for 37 years, and operated the Office of Ray and Charles Eames together for 35 of those years. They were partners in every sense of the word, sharing a home, an office, and collaborating on every piece of furniture and film they made together. For many years it was thought that Charles had been the driving force behind most of their design work, but recent findings have proven what had always been obvious about the two; they were inseparable, and the ideas they had and the projects they worked on were mutual and cooperative.
Charles and Ray collaborated on some of the most stunning and beautiful film and design projects of the last century. They are responsible for the Powers of Ten film, Tocatta for Toy Trains (film), The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, the Eames Aluminum Group furniture, the molded plywood chair, the TimeLife chair and stool, and various award winning museum exhibitions, including Mathematica. The Eames left not a stone unturned in their lifelong quest to bring the "uncommon beauty of common thing" into modern design, and practically no medium was ever eschewed when it came to getting their point across. Separately they would be ranked extremely high on any respectable list of great designers in the 20th century, but together they were unstoppable.
The Office of Charles and Ray Eames is still operating in California, with family member Lucia (daughter) and Eames Demetrios (grandson) running the family business. A great place for innovative and now historic film, toys, furniture and exhibits, the Office of Charles and Ray Eames is a California treasure.

Caring and Maintenance
With regular care and maintenance, your Herman Miller product will provide many years of superior performance and satisfaction. To maintain quality, please follow the cleaning instructions outlined here.
The instructions for the care and maintenance of Herman Miller products are provided to you as a service.
Stone Tabletops
Stone tabletops are susceptible to staining. Exposure to insect repellents and suntan lotions and sprays may cause discoloration. Spills of acid-based liquids—such as coffee, wine, and fruit juice—should be wiped up immediately with a clean, soft cloth to avoid staining.
For routine maintenance, rinse the tabletop with warm water to remove surface dirt and wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. For normal cleaning, wash the surface with a mixture of a mild detergent and warm water and rinse immediately with warm water. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive or acid-, alcohol-, or solvent-based cleaners. They will damage the surface.
Herman Miller outdoor stone tabletops are treated with a sealer that penetrates deep into the porous surface. These tops require occasional resealing. To determine whether it's time to reseal your tabletop, pour a small amount of water onto it. If the water beads, resealing is not necessary. If beading does not occur, apply a natural stone sealer, available at hardware and home improvement stores, to provide continued protection. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.
Table Bases
For normal cleaning, wash coated metal surfaces with a soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent and warm water, then rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. Remove scuff marks from low-gloss coatings with presoftened paste wax, following the manufacturer's instructions. Use automotive polishing compounds, either liquid or paste, to remove scuff marks and scratches from high-gloss coatings. After polishing, apply a presoftened automotive paste wax to restore the original sheen.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will cause your stone tabletop to fade. Placing the table away from direct sun or covering it appropriately when it is not in use will help avoid fading. If you choose to cover your table, be sure to remove the cover when the weather is warm or humid to reduce the chance of mold and mildew growth.
We also recommend bringing the furniture indoors for storage if the temperature stays below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius) for an extended period.
Shipping & Delivery
Professional Assembly & Installation: Free
Note: Special arrangements will have to be made for orders shipping to NY or CA.
Package dimensions:
Both versions: 54" h x 48" w x 54" d
Questions & Answers
Warrantied for 3 years. The following conditions above are not covered under the warranty:
Natural characteristics in stone result in variations in hues, veins, crystals, and distinctive marks. These variations, as well as the subtle changes that occur as the stone ages are typical of natural materials. Over time, the stone may fade in color, the surface may stain, and surface cracks, if not already visible at time of purchase, may appear. Small cracks do not affect the structural integrity of the tabletop. Stone tabletops are susceptible to staining. Exposure to insect repellents and suntan lotions and sprays may cause discoloration. Spills of acid-based liquids, such as coffee, wine, and fruit juice, should be wiped up immediately with a clean, soft cloth to avoid staining.

Young arms Wacha, Taillon enjoy budding friendship
JUPITER, Fla. -- In a division race that went to the final days of the 2013 season, the Cardinals had an up-close look at some of the young talent the Pirates hope will make them perennial contenders. There's more coming, too -- something that the Cardinals' own young gem, Michael Wacha, knows well.
After being introduced by mutual friends, Wacha and fellow 22-year-old Jameson Taillon, the top pitching prospect in Pittsburgh's farm system, spent the offseason working out together. The two lived within minutes of each other in The Woodlands, Texas, a suburb of Houston, and trained at the same facility.
Their friendship was fostered through "Call of Duty" competition, too, something that Wacha said will continue into the season. More often than not, Taillon wins those battles. It was Wacha, however, who was the first of the two 6-foot-6 right-handers to break into the big leagues.
"It doesn't surprise me he was able to take it [the Majors] by storm like that," Taillon said. "I guess I was surprised he got up there so quickly. But he has that attitude that no challenge is too big. He's a calm, real quiet guy. He made the most of his opportunity."
Both Wacha and Taillon began their professional journeys as first-round Draft picks. Taillon was taken second overall, out of high school, in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft. Two years later, Wacha came out of Texas A&M as a junior when the Cardinals picked him 19th.
The two could be dueling from Major League mounds as early as this season.
"He's a stud," Wacha said of Taillon. "I would watch some of his bullpens that he would throw down there. Just a big body, athletic. He can bring it. He's got some nasty stuff."

"In the Boston cookbook, most of its tasty concoctions based on defensive ingredients, Kessel is viewed as that little sprig of parsley that makes the plate look better but really doesn't factor into whether the meal is a true success."
If the entire history of Food Metaphors were "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," Kevin Dupont would be Louisette Bertholle – not the most famous chef/author, but certainly an integral ingredient in the stew of that book. The baudroie, if you will.
Mike Celizic would be Julia Child. Obviously.
And yes, I did see "Julie and Julia." I'm 34 and married. Deal with it.

TBH other than the new characters I almost have every other toon so I don't really care about the montly character. I would rather like for CG to update the GW, Cantina and Arena stores with new toons sin for a while I only use them to farm shards.

If there is a rey hero journey, then it should be possible to achieve for most of the players. No need for 7* BB8, no Vets 7*.
Else it would be whale only content and then there would be no point in giving Rey as login char.

Webroot Rolls Out Advanced Anti-Phishing Capabilities as Part of its Web Security Service
Enhances Webroot® Web Security Service against Increasing Internet Threats
Nov 28, 2012, 08:00 ET
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Nov. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Webroot, a leader in delivering Internet security as a service, today announced the integration of advanced anti-phishing capabilities into the Webroot® Web Security Service, the foremost cloud-based security service that helps businesses tackle the complexities of protecting corporate networks from web-borne threats and enforcing web-usage policies. The unique challenges in the detection of phishing sites demand an innovative approach, and the Webroot anti-phishing service, code named "Phresh Phish," was developed specifically to catch advanced phishing attacks that can expose an organization to security breaches and data loss.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121016/LA94090LOGO)
Webroot has leveraged its deep experience in machine learning, content classification and active learning gained through its web and IP threat recognition technologies to create best-in-class phishing detection. In current tests with industry partners, Webroot's Phresh Phish service has discovered phishing sites three to five days ahead of other popular anti-phishing technologies and sources. Timing is critical given how quickly these criminal sites are taken down after they have been launched to avoid detection. Phresh Phish evaluates any URL and scores it for phishing risk using hundreds of "features" of the site, including the content on the page, reputation information of the domain and numerous others factors.
The Webroot Web Security Service is used by thousands of organizations to protect their networks from malware, protect their employees whether on the corporate network or roaming and to enforce policies for internet use. It is part of a suite of cloud-based internet security-as-a-service solutions for businesses that includes Webroot® SecureAnywhere™ Endpoint Protection and Webroot® SecureAnywhere™ Mobile Protection.
"The Webroot Web Security Service provides a layered approach to defending against increasing phishing attacks and web threats," said Mike Malloy, executive vice president of Webroot Products and Strategy. "Our approach builds upon Webroot's long history of identifying and stopping web-borne malware. We deploy advanced predictive techniques to ensure a safer browsing experience for employees and to discover compromised and misleading URLs days before the competition."
The number of unique phishing sites has reached an all-time high and are commonly used to steal identity information or host one of more than six million malware strains that have been identified, according to industry reports. Phishing attacks continue to represent a significant threat to corporate brands as well as individual users transacting business on the Internet, capturing users' private information by masquerading as a trustworthy site. Targeted attacks on specific individuals or companies, known as spear phishing, have also become an increasingly popular way for attackers to gather personal information about their targets.
Webroot couples human classification with machine learning, using an active learning process. Machine learning is used to determine which features are significant for each URL being scanned and what weight to apply to each in the classification. The Webroot team also applies classifications made through the Webroot Intelligence Network in real-time to improve the model. Once the classification model has been established, threat determinations can be made without human interaction. For cases where the URL is not clearly determinable by the machine classification system, human evaluation is used which is then fed back into the machine model for increasingly accurate determinations.
Webroot Web Security Service is available now direct from Webroot and its network of authorized resellers. The Phresh Phish service will be seamlessly incorporated into Webroot Web Security Service starting in early 2013. Phresh Phish is also offered as a security intelligence solution available immediately to Webroot Alliance Partners to be integrated into their offerings.
Webroot is bringing the power of software-as-a-service (SaaS) to Internet security with its suite of Webroot® SecureAnywhere™ offerings for consumers and businesses. Webroot also offers security intelligence solutions to government agencies and corporations focused on cyber-security, such as Palo Alto Networks, F5, Corero, Juniper, and others. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Colorado, Webroot is the largest privately held security organization based in the United States. For more information, visit http://www.webroot.com or call 800.772.9383. Read the Webroot Threat Blog: http://blog.webroot.com. Follow Webroot on Twitter: http://twitter.com/webroot.

Bridging the divide: Resolving conflict from Prospect to Belfast
"How can a community of learning really thrive without fully immersing itself into its surrounding environment?" asks John Kiess.
While some UVA students are content to live inside the academic and social cocoon of the University, Kiess, who graduated in 2001, worries about the divide between UVA and its community. For the past year and a half, the Massachusetts native has been winning grants and helping out the low-income Prospect neighborhood.
That dedication to community recently paid off for Kiess, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate, as he was recently selected as one of 11 George Mitchell scholars for 2004. From a field of more than 300 applicants, the Political and Social Thought major was awarded one year of study at an Irish university.
He leaves in September for Queens University in Belfast, where he will pursue a master's degree in Comparative Ethnic Conflict, studying how ethnicities are defined and how conflicts can be resolved peacefully. His focus will be the unrest in northern Ireland as well as farther-reaching places like Rwanda and Bosnia.
Kiess may have already begun his work here in Charlottesville, where he has been examining the racial and socioeconomic divides of the community. Lamenting the visible racial separation, he says he's trying to "work out the historical challenges embedded in Charlottesville," and to dispel the "myth that we're not connected."
Having formed close relationships with Prospect Avenue residents before moving to the neighborhood, Kiess says he was warmly welcomed by his neighbors in his seven months as an AmeriCorps volunteer for Charlottesville's Abundant Life Ministries, a program serving residents around Prospect Avenue.
"He made a step to identify with the quality of life issues families face on a daily basis," says Abundant Life Ministries director Rydell Payne.
Kiess, who has landed more than $50,000 in private grants for his community, works with neighbors to stimulate grassroots leadership in the community and promote collaboration between his neighbors and City Council on issues such as safety and drug abuse.
He co-leads a life skills program for fifth through eighth graders and has secured an AmeriCorps grant that will bring two to three of the organization's volunteers to Charlottesville each year. He is also working with UVA to create opportunities for students to serve a multiyear volunteer commitment to the community.
While he's unsure of what will come after Belfast, Kiess hints that he's inspired by the "organic intellectuals who are practitioners first and whose writing emerges from experience."
Will he return to Charlottesville? "That's an unfair question," he says with a smile. "But I'll definitely come back to visit the close friends I've made."

Numerical Basis of CAD-Embedded CFD
This paper, from a NAFEMS conferences, takes an in-depth look under the hood at the numerical basis for SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation, CFD Solution for Product Engineers. It provides detailed information on the formulation of the mesh, boundary treatment, turbulence model, and solving methodology used in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation. These fundamentals are the foundation of what make SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation unique.
This report is for Engineers who design equipment with rotating components, and who need to analyze and understand the behavior of those components if they want to improve performance.
The Role of CFD in Real Life Designs
This paper discusses problems that design engineers may face in their day-to-day work, and are also highly representative of the everyday problems encountered by designers of many different products.
Solve Heat Transfer Challenges Quickly and Cost-Effectively With Flow Simulation
Finding effective solutions to heat transfer problems has become an increasingly important part of new product development. Almost everything experiences heating or cooling of some kind, and for many products, such as modern electronics, medical devices, and HVAC systems, managing heat is a critical requirement for avoiding overheating and achieving functional success. With an easy-to-use, fluid-flow analysis application like SOLIDWORKS® Flow Simulation software, you will have the tools that you need to solve even the most difficult heat transfer problems, while saving time and money in the process.
Optimizing Product Development Time by Using CFD as a Design Tool

Witch right now. Witch right now. I could use some spears or some monsters or a witch, or to get back to some gaming apps much simpler than this. Because after all the crashin' and matchin' and thrashin', the monster bombin' and the droppin' and hack-and-slashin'... Okay, that's enough of that. It's the Week in Gaming Apps!
Hey, at least it wasn't another damn "Call Me Maybe" parody, right? It's been a crazy week filled with strange and wonderful gaming apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7, so excuse me if I let off a little steam the only way my mother ever taught me — by writing to the beat of an overplayed song from 2010. What can I say, my mother was a visionary.
As were the developers of this week's Gaming App of the Day entries, five rich and varied titles, several of which play on the mechanics of other, more successful games. With the exception of Flight and Ravenmark, it's like Zynga theme week up in here. Too soon?
If you have a suggestion for an app for the iPhone, iPad, Android or Windows Phone 7 that you'd like to see highlighted, let us know.
Ravenmark is my New Favourite iPad Strategy Game
Ravenmark: Scourge of Estellion, by Witching Hour Studios, is what happens when a small team sets out to bring the experience of, say, Fire Emblem to a platform that will never, ever get an actual Fire Emblem game. More »
