A lens with two fields of vision seperated by a line. Generally the top is designated for distance-vision or computer-distance and the bottom for near-vision work such as reading.
The total lens height for a Bifocal lens must be 30mm or greater. We recommend a taller lens for more comfortable wear, but 30mm is the minimum height for a bifocal lens. If the frame chosen has a lens height smaller than 30mm, a different frame must be chosen for Bifocal lenses.
In a Bifocal lens, the two fields of vision are specifically differentiated by a visible line. The bottom reading area is 25mm wide and is positioned just below the centerline of the lens. The physical position of the bi-focal area will be affected by the physical height of the lens chosen.
This refers to the lens design which includes three fields of vision, without lines, and is sometimes referred to as a "no-line bifocal".
The lens height for a progressive lens must be 30mm or greater. We recommend a taller lens for more comfortable wear, but the minimum lens height is 30 mm. If this frame has a lens height smaller than 30mm, a different frame must be chosen for progressive lenses.
In a progressive lens, the shape of the corrected part of the lens is approximately that of a funnel or a mushroom, with the top portion for distance-vision, narrowing to the lower middle for mid-range, finally to the bottom portion for the near-vision or reading. The reading area is approximately the lower quarter, central third of the lens.
It is a good design, without lines, for general use. People sometimes prefer a single-vision lens for extended reading or up-close work.

The PD or Pupillary Distance is the distance between the pupils of the eyes, center to center, in Millimeters.(1 inch= 25.4mm). Unfortunately many optometrists leave this quite necessary measurement off of prescriptions, but it can be measured at home.
The best way to have a PD measured is by an optometrist, but you can have a friend measure it for you by holding a ruler just under your eyes and measuring the distance from the center of one pupil to the center of the other. You should be looking straight forward, fixing your focus on a distant object and not on the person measuring you. Repeat the measurement a few times for consistency.
Most people have a PD measurement that falls within the 54mm to 74mm range. If you are coming up with a number outside of this range consider that you might be making a measurement mistake. Do NOT just guess, and DO NOT try to measure your old glasses to determine this number. The PD is NOT measured from the geometric center of the lens and is not a visible spot on the lens.
Sometimes a prescription lists two numbers, written as PD 65/62 for example. 65 is the distance-vision PD, and the one to be entered on our forms. The second number, 62 is the "reading" or "near-vision" PD, to be used ONLY if you are ordering single-vision reading glasses.
Occasionally a PD is written as for example, 32/34.5 which are the mesurements from the center of the nose to either eye. The PD is the sum of the two, 32+34.5=66.5 One can enter this as 66 or 67; either is appropriate.
You should also be able to get your PD from your previous eyeglass supplier. This figure does not expire with age, and they must give it to you as it is part of your full prescription. It is your property.
Anti Reflective (AR) coating improves both the vision and the appearance of the glasses. It is a layered metal oxide coating applied to both sides of the lens that greatly reduces both the internal and external the reflections on the lens surface while allowing more light through the lens.
Internal reflections appear as rings that can make lenses look thicker while external reflections mask the eyes from others looking at you. Conversely the AR coating will make the lenses appear thinner while the greatly reduced reflections will make the eyes look natural and allow the lenses to disappear.
At night AR coatings are especially effective by considerably reducing the annoying glare, reflections and halos around lights, making it much more comfortable and safer for driving at night.
This is a permanent tint on the lens, not to be confused with the Photochromic lens which changes shade according to the amount of sunlight.
An 80% tint is a dark sunglass tint for bright outdoor conditions. We recommend the 80% Gray tint for most sunglass applications.
A 50% tint is a medium-light sunglass tint that is not too dark to make it unusable indoors, while giving some medium/light sunshade protection outdoors.
A 10% tint is a very light cosmetic /fashion tint barely noticeable to the wearer, but provides a slight hint of color to people looking at the wearer.
All of our eyeglass lenses, tinted or clear, have full 100% UV protection built-in to protect the eyes from harmful sunrays.
Since the brightness and tint density displayed can vary on each monitor for the identical image, even on those hooked up to the same computer, the color examples displayed above may not be an exact match to the tint you will receive. Nevertheless, the color chart above should give you a good indication of how they will look.
Spherical, referring to the refractive correction in the prescription.
The Spherical correction is for near (-) or far (+) sightedness.
If "PL" or "Plano" is written for the OD-Sph on your prescription, the value to be entered is 0.00.
Cylinder, referring to the strength of the correction for the astigmatism in the eye.
It can be either positive or negative.
If there is an OD Cyl value, there must be an OD Axis value.
If "DS" or "SPH" or "spherical" is noted in this space on your prescription, you have no astigmatism in that eye and the value to be entered is 0.00.
OD Axis
Axis refers to the angle of the correction for the astigmatism in the eye (if one exists) from 1 to 180.
If there is an OD Axis value, there must be an OD CYL (Cylinder) value.
If there is no OD Cylinder value, or if the OD Cylinder value is Zero, then the OD Axis value is Zero.
The Axis value is usually written as 3 digits, which means if your Axis value is 5, it is often written as 005. This Axis value is still 5, regardless of how it is displayed.
Spherical, referring to the refractive correction in the prescription.
The Spherical correction is for near (-) or far (+) sightedness.
If "PL" or "Plano" is written for the OS-Sph on your prescription, the value to be entered is 0.00.
Cylinder, referring to the strength of the correction for the astigmatism in the eye.
It can be either positive or negative.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Apr. 9, 2012) – The ETSU baseball team returns to action with a pair of midweek non-conference games against UNC Asheville and Tennessee.
The Bucs will travel to UNC Asheville on Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. and will host SEC foe Tennessee on Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. inside Thomas Stadium. Live stats will be available through Gametracker at ETSUBucs.com. In addition, Wednesday's game will be broadcasted online at ETSUBucs.com.
Just three weeks ago, starting pitcher Jimmy Nesselt (Plantation, Fla.) tossed three scoreless innings and the bullpen allowed just one run over six innings to lift the Bucs to a 3-1 victory over UNC Asheville in Johnson City.
Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.) and Chris Riopedre (Miami, Fla.) led the Bucs at the plate with two hits each. In that contest, Riopedre drove in his first career run. Meanwhile, Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) had the other RBI of the day as he finished 1-for-4.
Freeman leads the Bucs in batting average (.368), hits (42), RBI (25) and on-base percentage (.408). Meanwhile, Dylan Pratt (Johnson City, Tenn.) and Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.) are each batting .300 or better. Matthew Scruggs (Knoxville, Tenn.) continues to pace the Atlantic Sun in home runs with 11, while Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.) leads the league with four triples.
UNC Asheville enters the contest with a 15-18 overall record and a 5-7 mark in Big South Conference play. Aaron Wright (.345), Hunter Bryant (.330) and Jordan Lurie (.312) are each batting over .300, while Billy Creighton is perhaps the biggest power threat with three home runs and a team-high 22 RBI. ETSU now leads the all-time series against UNCA, 27-19.
Tennessee heads into Wednesday's game with a 20-12 overall record and an even 6-6 in the SEC. The Vols are coming off a conference series at South Carolina in which they took one of three against the Gamecocks. Will Maddox leads UT with a .308 average, while also adding four doubles, a triple, a home run and 11 RBI. Drew Steckenrider leads the Volunteers with five home runs and a .429 slugging percentage. Tennessee leads the all-time series against ETSU, 55-13. However, the Bucs have won the last four meetings against the Volunteers. ETSU won both games of the series in 2008 and 2009.
The Bucs return home to for Atlantic Sun play this weekend with a three-game series against USC Upstate beginning on Friday at Thomas Stadium.

But shortly after getting my hands on an overhead projector (I definitely was not going to free-hand this one!) I got to work. It probably took me about eight hours total from printing the design to the last bit of paint.
Here's a quick run-down of the whole process.
***Sorry in advance to those who aren't familiar with Photoshop. This will probably sound completely foreign to you. (If you don't have Photoshop, try using a free program like gimp instead.)***
*Find an outline of the shape you want to use and open it with Photoshop.
*Decide on your text and which words will fit on each line. Lay out the lines of text.
*Add guide lines over the shape to section it into however many segments you need.
*In a new layer, type out your first line of text. Make the text box as small and tight around the words as possible. Select the 'move' tool (the arrow).
*Go to Edit > Transform > Skew. Use the Skew tool to drag the outer corners of the box around the words so that the shape of the words fits the shape underneath it.
*Repeat until all the text is filled in and fits the shape.
*Hide the bottom layer that has the shape outline.
*Print it directly onto a transparency, or if you don't have the right kind of transparency for your printer, print on a piece of paper and trace the design onto a transparency.
*Using an overhead, (Check craigslist and yard sales -- mine was $5! You can also rent projectors.) trace the design onto your canvas using pencil.
*Fill in with paint. You may need to go over it more than once. (If you're scared of messing up, you could paint a background color first so it would be easier to fix mistakes if you go out of the lines.)
*Get rid of any stray pencil marks using a kneaded eraser.
It's really not that difficult to do if you know your way around Photoshop. And if you don't, check out gimp. I'm pretty sure you can do just about anything with it, and it's free!
P.S. For anyone who's curious, the whole project cost $12.50. I had transparencies already, and the paint was left over from another project. The canvas should have been $25, but it was 50% off at Hobby Lobby.

As a first-time Coachella-goer, driving past the windmills and seeing myself surrounded by desert was an experience in itself. As I fumbled the buttons on my car's radio to find a station that wasn't static, I exited off the 10 Freeway and drove into Indio.
Trying to find the place to pick up my media pass wasn't too difficult, and with my left wrist now accessorized appropriately, I tried to find my way to the Day Parking lot. After two U-turns and one giant loop around a neighborhood, I finally found a spot, packed my bag and headed into the campground towards the festival entrance.
The first smell that hit my nose was marijuana with a not-so-subtle undertone of beer, and, as I walked past the shabby makeshift tents and drunk dancing guys, I muttered something under my breath about how hot it was, how long the walk to the entrance was and how that shirtless guy almost hit me with his frisbee.
But as I ducked under a hedge and emerged onto the Red Path, my excitement level shot through the roof. In the distance, the giant Ferris wheel — a staple at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival — stood unturning, and the bass of music floated through the air. It was semi-cloudy so the sun wasn't as aggressive as it was while I was walking through the camp, and the blue sky coupled with attractive young people all heading to the same destination made for a sense of camaraderie and happiness. Not one person was screaming or being obnoxious, but rather, everyone was giggling or talking in hushed tones while bicycle cabs with fluffy blue seats passed by.
As people approached the entrance and lines began to form, their volume began to rise — laughing, meeting people and exclaiming their excitement to the people around them. One guy held a personal water bottle mister and was happily misting everyone around him. Another guy tried to get a girl's number but was politely turned down. I smiled.
Entering the festival was breathtaking. People with creative and beautiful barely-there outfits with the backdrop of the mountains, plus the larger-than-life art installations made for a truly magical desert setting. The heavy bass from musical acts vibrated through everyone's body gently and some people zipped past others, intent on catching a show that had just started.
Despite the increasingly hot weather, liters of sweat pouring from my pores and the knowledge of my inevitable awkward tan lines, I'm excited for what the rest of the weekend will bring.

By Aranda Lasch
Rose Chair | Modern Primitive Series, 2010
CNC Wire-cut EPS Foam , Linex Finish
Dimensions (WxDxH):
96.5 x 73.7 x 94 (cm)
38 × 29 × 37 (in)
Price Available Upon Request
The Rose Chair is from Aranda\Lasch's Modern Primitive Series, 2010. Modern Primitives Venice is a landscape installation with over-scaled mineral furnishings dispersed loosely across the entry of the Venice Biennale. Like rock piles, the space is built from small primitive pieces building up into larger clusters that are overgrown with moss. Appearing like islands from the distance, they can be understood as a microcosm of landscape and architecture systems. On another level, Modern Primitives is simply a way to furnish a space; these clusters can be sat on, leaned against, held in your arms.
Modern Primitives Miami is a multi-media collaboration by FENDI and Aranda\Lasch. During the five day Design Miami/ event, Aranda\Lasch will work on site, hand-in-hand with an expert FENDI craftsman to construct new designs, including the installation environment itself. An interactive application invites the fair's visitors to participate in the performance by creating their own designs. Together, the different aspects of the installation comprise a synthesis of Aranda\Lasch's technologically informed design with FENDI's legacy of innovative craft – an experimental exploration of the creative space shared by architecture, design and fashion.

Urologist faces complaint in body fluid incident
Complaint by medical board says urologist's actions sink profession into disrepute.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The state medical board has filed a complaint against a Las Vegas urologist accused of squirting a patient's bodily fluid onto others during a surgery.
The three-count complaint filed against Dr. Avi Chaim Weiss on Sept. 26 says his actions bring the medical profession into disrepute.
Investigators say Weiss was performing an operation on a 76-year-old man last January when he intentionally squirted fluids from the patient's scrotum into the air and onto others multiple times.
The board says he didn't mention the incident in his report about the operation.
Weiss issued a statement Thursday saying the complaint was based on a misunderstanding. He said any splashing was an unintended consequence of doing a thorough job in the surgical procedure, and added that he plans to aggressively contest the complaint.

As we wait to watch the first on-camera TV interview (not to be confused with the first off-camera TV interview) of linebacker Manti Te'o, Katie Couric has released some of the voice messages that Te'o received from Lennay Kekua, who according to the lawyer for Ronaiah Tuiasosopo was actually Ronaiah Tuiasosopo.
Deadspin has a couple of them. The link to the full collection on Couric's website currently is deader than a fake dead girlfriend.
It definitely sounds like a woman — and if Te'o had no other suspicions about the situation he definitely wouldn't have suspected that he was possibly talking to a man.
"I think he's a very naive, very young 21-year old," Couric told Dan Patrick earlier today. "The person behind this was extraordinarily manipulative and incredibly, really almost weirdly intelligent about the way this was conducted."
Weird is the word.

RIO DE JANEIRO — At 36 years old and surrounded by NBA talent, Pau Gasol is still El Rey of Spanish basketball.
Gasol led Spain to its third straight Olympic medal, scoring 31 points (making 12 of his 15 shots) and grabbing 11 rebounds in an incredible bronze medal game against Australia.
After an incredible, back-and-fourth second half (in which the teams combined for 99 points), the game went down to the wire and was decided by a tough foul call on Patty Mills that gave Spain's Sergio Rodriguez two free throws with 5.4 seconds left.
After a timeout, Australia tried to run a hand-off play for Mills, but Ricky Rubio got his hand on the ball, Australia was never able to get a shot off, and Spain escaped with an 89-88 victory.
Another medal for Spain and Gasol, the clear MVP of this tournament (given how many different guys have stepped up for the U.S. in its run to the gold medal game).
"He's amazing," Rubio said of Gasol afterward. "There's no words to describe the way he dominates FIBA basketball. He's one of the best ever and that's why he put Spain on the map. Of course, we've had great players around him, but he's the key of this generation."
"It's not only about just his game," Jose Calderon added. "It's about leadership. It's about a lot of things. He's been great for us forever and he's still got some more years, I think, on him."
More years for the national team?
"I really don't know how the process is going to play out," Gasol said. "I love playing for my national team. That's pretty obvious. I have a lot of fun. I feel something special when I play for the national team, something unique. I always said that I'd like to do it as long as I can.
"I'm just enjoying the ride and I'm going to continue to work hard to extend it."
Rough finish for the Boomers
Australia bounced back after an ugly performance in Friday's semifinal against Serbia, but its finish is still such a huge disappointment for what looked like a clear medal favorite through pool play and the quarterfinals. Australia has now reached the Olympic semifinals on four occasions and finished fourth each time.
"My two worst games of the tournament were the last two games," said Andrew Bogut, who fouled out with 7:54 to go in the third quarter on Sunday. "That's going to eat at me for the next couple of days."
Mirotic banged up
Nikola Mirotic helped Spain get off to a strong start with eight points in the first quarter. He injured his right knee in a collision with Aron Baynes early in the fourth, but returned after a brief stint on the bench and finished with 14 points and seven rebounds.
Afterward, Mirotic said the initial injury scared him "a lot," saying the collision was "very strong, knees against knees."
"But it was the last five minutes of the tournament," he continued. "I didn't want to miss that opportunity to play. I was hot in that moment too, so I didn't feel a lot of pain. Right now, I'm feeling hurt. But it's OK. We won the medal. That's the most important thing. Hopefully, this is nothing. I need to do some tests now and I expect it's all good."

The galaxies of the Universe's youth worked busily at making stars—that much is certain. However, what did those galaxies look like? How many were there, and how were they distributed in space and time?
Over such huge distances, those galaxies appear faint to us, so it's only within the last decade or so that astronomers have been able to start obtaining a reasonable view of them. The newly inaugurated ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) is one of the most promising telescope arrays in the world for making observations of the early Universe.
As reported in a new Nature paper, ALMA scientists measured the distances to 23 early star-forming galaxies in a patch of sky in the Southern Hemisphere. Out of that sample, at least 10 emitted their light when the Universe was less than 1.5 billion years old, placing them among some of the earliest galaxies observed.
Over the last ten years, astronomers discovered that the ratios of galaxy types shifted greatly over time. One particular type of galaxy—known as a dusty starburst galaxy—was nearly 1,000 times more common in the past than it is today. These galaxies, as their name suggests, form stars at a high rate and are swathed in the molecules collectively known as dust. (Lighter molecules, such as hydrogen H2, oxygen O2, or water H2O, behave as gases, whereas heavier molecules can stick together via static electricity, much as dust bunnies gather under your bed.)
Unshielded light from newborn stars is frequently dominated by blue and ultraviolet emission, but dust absorbs most of those wavelengths. This heats the dust, however, making it glow strongly in the infrared. The result: dusty starburst galaxies are intense infrared emitters.
It's one thing to know that; it's another to detect these galaxies at cosmological distances. As the Universe expands, the wavelength of light stretches too, a phenomenon known as redshift (in visible light, red has the longest wavelength, so other colors are shifted along the rainbow in that direction.) The farther away the emitter is, the larger the redshift; since light takes time to reach us, large redshifts mean that light left the emitting object a long time in the past.
The light from dusty starburst galaxies started out in the infrared, so it's shifted to the millimeter and submillimeter ranges, in the region of the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared and microwave light. The new ALMA study focused on 47 millimeter-wavelength sources identified by an earlier South Pole Telescope (SPT) survey. Of those, the researchers found 23 emitters with clear spectral signatures, which are essential for determining the redshift—and therefore the distance to the galaxy emitting the light.
Additionally, the researchers hunted for signs of gravitational lensing: the magnification and distortion of images as light passes by massive objects, mostly other galaxies or galaxy clusters. Gravitational lensing makes galaxies look like long thin arcs or rings—it can even make multiple images of a single object.
Gravitational lensing also focuses light, so that very distant galaxies that might be too faint to see otherwise are boosted to visibility. Without the boost provided by lensing, even luminous dusty starburst galaxies would appear too dim if they formed in the early Universe.
These observations highlight the power of ALMA. The instruments needed to have sufficient power to measure redshifts and to identify at least one clear spectral line for each galaxy in the sample, but also to resolve these galaxies into distinct shapes to show they had been gravitationally lensed. It's a testament to the technology that the telescope was able to do all that. (It's rumored that ALMA will also cure cancer, end human-rights abuses, and provide infinite amounts of clean energy to the world, but these have yet to be confirmed.)
From their spectral signatures, the 23 objects corresponded to dusty starburst galaxies, ranging between 10 and 12 billion light-years away from Earth. Ten of those galaxies were at least 11.8 billion light-years away, placing them among the most distant galaxies known. Since the present study only examined some of the objects previously identified by the South Pole Telescope, follow-up observations should provide an even more detailed census of dusty starburst galaxies at the earliest times, providing a picture of our Universe when stars and galaxies first began to light up the cosmos.

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
The Pocono Record editors, with critical events center stage, wrote about the demise of the iron in the game of Monopoly, but the content missed the mark.
I'm probably one of the last generation of women whose mothers taught them to iron (sorry guys, unless you were in the military, ironing chores fell to girls). Learning to iron came about around the time my parents realized I was old enough to do chores — when every parent realizes this reason to have kids. My mom taught me how to iron bedsheets, underwear, pajamas, dad's handkerchiefs, socks, dress clothes, play clothes, washcloths and towels. Anything you could take an iron to got ironed.
I still iron. My work requires clean, neat, unwrinkled clothes (although I wonder about our office dress code when I look at how some people dress). Secondly, new dryers do the steaming, but they only work if you remove your clothes when the alarm dings. If they lie in the dryer, clothes get wrinkled anyway. Thus, the need for an iron — unless, sadly, as many do, you choose to wear wrinkled clothing.
The demise of the iron is a statement that we don't believe having our clothes neat and without wrinkles matters today. Looked around lately and seen how scrungy our dress has become? Although ironing sheets and PJs is long gone, I'm keeping my iron for awhile, at least until my husband and I get our clothes out of the dryer on time. My mother taught me through our time ironing together that my clothes are a reflection of who I am. Most young people haven't been taught that wisdom.
From the movie "Working Girl": "Dress shabbily, they remember the dress. Dress impeccably, they remember the woman."
Thanks for teaching me, mom. The drudgery was worth it.

Traditionally, Dolce & Gabbana is not a go-to source of ultra-formal, ultra-expensive clutches; the brand has generally focused on day bags in the past, with a few evening options here and there. The Dolce woman is one with a lot of events to attend, though, and now the brand is turning out party bags to go along with its party clothes.
The line, centered on the frame-top Vanda Clutch, is ultra-embellished, incredibly detailed and just as expensive as those descriptors often indicate. Right now, prices top out at seven grand for a lattice version covered in enamel flowers, and the piece actually feels special enough to command that price tag. That's no easy feat, but if you don't believe me, check out the evidence below.

Anytime you are in the Queensborough area two things will constantly be in your view - bridges, and the Fraser River. Queensborough is a neighbourhood located on the eastern tip of Lulu Island. Lulu Island itself is surrounded by the north and south arm of the Fraser River.
Bowser98 (brother Al), and MrTJ, (brother Ken), and I picked the Queensborough area to geocache in as we would be having a late start to the day and the density of caches in the area allowed us to maximize our finds. As well, a geocacher by the name of mcwilli had done a series of caches highlighting the history of the Queensborough area; always a plus when you can learn some local history while you have fun!
We worked our way through the series, strolling along dikes and nipping into small neighbourhood parks while we picked up caches and picked up some knowledge of the region. Evidently we missed out on doing one of the caches in the series, don't know how we missed one little cache...oh well, next time!
Interspersed in the day's finds were other caches that constantly brought us along the Fraser River or left us with a view of a bridge or an on ramp or an off ramp....after all, it is an island and one of the Lower Mainland's main routes south uses Lulu Island as a jumping point over the Fraser River.
At the far eastern tip of the island is an old industrial area which has been wiped clean, and a housing development with a mix of condos, townhouses, and attached houses now offer new homes to eager buyers. They have done a wonderful landscaping job in the area - from creating a seawall walkway around the point of the island, to designing nice looking homes that suit the area. Greenery has been added and as it grows in offers the senses of privacy that close living quarters usually don't provide.
We spent the afternoon caching in the area, mindful of the time as we were going to attend a geocaching event titled "Watching The Sun Go Down, Again" which was to take place at the top of Burnaby Mountain close to SFU (Simon Fraser University). What could be better, a warm August night, sitting in lawn chairs talking to fellow geocachers about life in general, and of course, picking up hints on those caches that you just can't find. So what happens in the middle of August on that one night we want to meet? It rains of course!
But that didn't stop 30 or 40 fellow geocachers from coming out to chat and see old friends and make new friends as well. The geocaching community is constantly growing, and many of the faces I see now I haven't seen before...I almost feel like the old man in the crowd! :)
I had along Keelong The Panda Bear TB but didn't dare bring him out of the car for fear of getting him soaked - so we settled for leaving the Panda Bear and the lawn chairs in the Jeep. Instead we took our hats and coats and stood in the rain having a grand time....a good way to cap off a day of geocaching!
Oh, and we did see the sun appear, just as it set for the night.....

The Cupcake Walk
Pre-schoolers take a Cupcake Walk in this harder Logic Problem.
September 16, 2002
Last Friday, the pre-schoolers at Little People Daycare Center played the Cupcake Walk, in which they paraded around a big circle while a tune played on the tape player; when the music was stopped at random, the child who was nearest the place on the circle where a plate of cupcakes sat won the cupcakes. The children played five rounds of Cupcake Walk; each walk had a different winner, each dozen cupcakes had a different icing, and a different song played for each of the five walks, with "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" the tune for one. At the end of the game, the five winners, including Ben, shared their prizes with the other daycare children. Given the clues below, can you find which child won each round 1st-5th, the type of icing on the cupcakes he won, and the tune that played during his or her winning walk?
Christopher won an earlier round than the preschooler who won the M & M's cupcakes, while the M & M's winner won the Cupcake Walk immediately before the one where "The Ants Go Marching" was played.
The chocolate chip cupcakes weren't the ones given as a prize for the walk taken to "The Wheels on the Bus."
Neither Megan nor Tess is the child who won the cupcakes with strawberry icing.
Jenny won the Cupcake Walk that was played immediately before the round during which "The Wheels on the Bus" was the walking tune.
The prize for the "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" walk wasn't the M & M's cupcakes.
The rainbow sprinkle cupcakes weren't won by the child who was closest to the prize when "Itsy-Bitsy Spider" stopped playing.
Christopher, who didn't get the Reese's Pieces cupcakes as his prize, didn't win the round during which "The Wheels on the Bus" was the marching tune.
The walk taken immediately after the one during which "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" was the song was the one for which the chocolate chip icing cupcakes were given away.
Jenny's winning walk didn't come to the tune of "The Ants Go Marching."
The preschooler who won the round during which "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" was played isn't Tess.
The rainbow sprinkle cupcakes were the prize in the walk immediately before the one where the Reese's Pieces cupcakes were awarded; the Reese's Pieces cupcakes weren't the ones given to the winner of the 5th and last Cupcake Walk.

The History/Political Science major offers students the opportunity to combine coursework in the fields of history and political science. This major is particularly useful for students interested in careers in government, law, and teaching.
Students who choose this major will be exposed to the methods employed by both historians and political scientists. They will also gain an understanding of the structures of political institutions and the framework of political thought. There are active internship opportunities in this program, and Mount students have regularly worked in Albany for a semester as interns with the New York Assembly and Senate.
The program in History/Political Science requires that students take six credits in American History, six credits in European History, six credits in Government, six credits in Political Thought, and six credits in elective courses.
The program requires thirty credits, with eighteen of those credits in courses at the 3000/4000 level. Students must take a minimum of three credits in History/Political Science before taking upper level courses (3000/4000).
Students have interned with the New York Assembly and the Senate and have received a semester of credit for these internships. There are also internship opportunities available locally with historical societies, museums, and local government offices.
This is an excellent major that allows for versatile career choices; from teaching to business, historic preservation, government services, criminal justice, and law.

If I see those posters at a bus stop, I'll probably make my parents stop the car so I can take a bunch of pictures... and destroy the bus stop to get it, but that's another story! :-)ReplyDelete
The posters are reminiscent of the ad campaign for Toy Story 2, not Toy Story 3. ;)ReplyDelete
Awesome posters! I think its awesome that this film has the "Disney muscle" behind it!
I don't know how to like tehm. Can someone please explain it to me? I do like them and love them so should like them if I can but how?ReplyDelete
What's with the combination of the British spelling of "Theatres" with the U.S. holiday of Thanksgiving?ReplyDelete
Do you have a Facebook account? If so, you should just be able to click on "The Muppets Fan-A-Thon" link on this page, and then click on the big "click here" button under the image of Miss Piggy. :)

We wrote here about the American Enterprise Institute's video contest: $50,000 in prizes to those who portray in short video form the moral case for free enterprise. AEI's contest was inspired in part, I am happy to report, by our own Power Line Prize contest last year.
The deadline for entries in the contest was September 4, and AEI has now assembled some of their favorites in a YouTube gallery. The prize winners will be announced on Tuesday. In the meantime, it is a lot of fun to check out the gallery. There are some excellent efforts there.
This one, called "Pet Enterprise," was produced by our friend Kirk Kolbo. Kirk, I had no idea!
This one, "Joke of the Day," is by Don Brookins, who made the famous "Doorbell" video for the Power Line Prize contest. "Doorbell" went on to receive well over a million views.
This one, by Christopher Gould, is called "Take Your Own Shot:"
This one is very affecting. It is called "Freedom's Price:"
There are lots more; we will post additional ones as we have time to watch them. In the meantime, you can watch all of the finalists here.

Fit, Finish, Quality Questions
Fit, Finish, Quality Questions
I have had my Model S for 4 months. Fit and finish is very good. The driving experience is outstanding! I have had two minor problems with squeaking sounds. The car is so quiet, you hear every little thing. On both occasions, the local service center took care of the problem by making an adjustment. I am very pleased indeed.
First, I don't think price is the proper way to compare cars -- do you compare and SUV and a Boxster just because they happen to cost about the same? Instead, compare it to other cars with similar features, and you find it is alone in its class. So, you just have to decide that what it offers is what you want and the price is acceptable for what you get.
The Model S has been twice as much as the previously most expensive car I have owned, and I have been very happy. I had one minor issue with the rear suspension that was taken care of, and the usual share of software glitches (but far fewer than I expected). I have had no issue with doors unlocking, charge port sticking, or any of the other things people complain about. The performance and range both match up exactly with what I expected, and I was able to drive 240mi with no problem (and no Superchargers near me).
The only thing I think it is actually a design flaw is the HVAC -- it seems like the sensor is some place that gets hotter over time, as I need to increase the target temperature to keep it comfortable. This has improved with recent software updates, but it still isn't where I can just set it on 72 and never worry about it again. This is a small price to pay for the many other things the car does exceptionally well.
About 4 months & 5000 miles. I have formerly owned BMW, Lexus, Volvo, and Nissan. I have always bought new cars. The quality of the Tesla is far beyond any previous car purchase. Power and handling are unsurpassed. Never going back. Best car purchase I have ever made.
Interior quality is very good, but storage is lacking.
OTOH the black plastic moldings are cheap and very easily show dirt. ( especially the door sills moldings)
I am planning to apply brushed aluminum vinyl wrap cut in an aesthetically pleasing shape on the sill moldings.
Factory carpets are thin and crap. Replaced them with Lloyd's ultimat series in grey. Black carpeting also shows dirt very very easily.
Rest of the interior is upscale, spartan but quite elegant. Better than many interiors in its class, IMHO.
Had the car 3 months. Fit and finish is comparable with German cars. Not a single issue with the car. I am a former Porsche and BMW owner. Like KevinR noted--power and handling are outstanding--never plan to go back to an ICE!
Bottom line - freakin amazing car, drive one and you will never go back to an ICE car again.
Best car ever...anyone who says otherwise has never been in one, or driven it or is just plain negative all the time with no friends. A person that would not like this car has no clue in life and is probably a blowhard fool.
Exactly, Best SUPER car ever!!! Even when you have a BAD day at work,(Like today) Just jump in your Tesla Model S and life is good Again.....This car is a game-changer
I just gave my boss a ride in it today and he was so impressed that he is going to visit the Tesla Store. He owns a Masarati and he came away extremely impressed.
I have over 5600 miles on my S and its the fit and finish is superb. It is tight, no rattles, superior smoothness and acceleration and super quite. Just an amazing car.
Ditto - all positve performance and fit/finish comments. The auto armor needs afew bubbles removed but this is MINOR.
Remember you are embracing a cutting edge change. Not everything will be perfect but what is the alternative?
I chose ths over a $120k S Class performance Benz an have had two. No choice - this is the BEST car I have owned.
Rod in Evergreen, CO
Tjyudman, what you are paying for the Model S is its technology. Plain and simple. There's no car like it. I've had the car for a month and it is as awesome to drive as many of the Model S owners have posted on this forum. On the quality side, I'd say it is less superior compared to a MB, BMW or Audi. The interior is nice but nothing to brag about for a $100K car except for the 17" touchscreen. I wish it came with parking sensors as I feel all cars in this class should have them. The visors and glove compartment door is on the flimsy side. Much has been said about the floormat, or lack of. I'm also a little disappointed in the workmanship of the front hood. It does not align with the fenders. But overall, these are minor things and I'm sure Tesla will improve as they move along.
To add to others glowing accolades: yes, this is the only car that I will want to drive. You can ask for a trade with a brand new Bentley, and I would refuse. It's that good.
Also, the car has the capacity to make you feel like you just got your drivers license and are driving for the thrill.
6,000 miles, no rattles. One or more of the speakers vibrates in a particular way on particular tones. It was always like that.
I've had my car about a month. Given what I've read here and elsewhere, and what I saw in some of the early demo cars, I was really concerned about fit and finish. My car, as delivered, has been fantastic. Body panel gaps are even throughout. No roof noise issues. Interior panel fit is top notch. I used to be in the car business and have driven every luxury car you can imagine. I have no complaints about the fit and finish on the vehicle.
I do find one minor design flaw with the interior of the car: the stitched leather point on the B pillar at the front door openings and at the aft of the door opening in the back doors. This has been discussed elsewhere on this forum. I hate telling my passengers to watch that area as they enter or exit. I'm sure there will be excess wear on those parts over time. I hope there is a future fix for this and that it can be retrofitted to delivered vehicles.
As far as fit and finish go, that's it.
@mpottinger - my car was built in the end-of-year rush, and I have had practically no issues. Remember that mostly people post here to complain, they don't post to say everything is just how I expected it would be.
I'm a P85 owner and I just picked up my car last week. My first impression from the beginning when I first test drove at show room though interior was cheap from the price you pay for it on the same level of other cars. Interior I would give it a "C" as a grade. But also disapointed of the little gap next to the 17in monitor not consistent with the other side. Also the trunk gap was uneven a bit problem that I complained about to the service people. I had fingure print on my roof. I want to see what they can do about it. Aside of then not having the whole package correctly delivered to me; rear carbon spoiler, Parcel Shelf on the trunk missing. I don't know when they will call me so both of them can be installed on my car.
Although I know this company is new to car market and everything seems to be on back order, I'm being patient.
Can you fingure out whose fingure fingured your roof?
P85 owner. I still give Audi and Lexus top marks for fit and finish. I'd say that the fit and finish are average. however, the driving experience is bar none. You wont' be getting the best fit and finish but you'll have a grin on your face ever time you drive the car.
I've had the car since December and have 8000 miles. Lots of little issues have been resolved, but I've been to the service center 8 times for child facing rear seat install, broken lift gate, dead battery, sunroof seal adjustment, frunk adjustment, and dead leds in the trunk.
Looks like smoother sailing from here on.
Just picked up 85 yesterday. Car is awesome, and overall, I am pleased with the fit and finish. That said, I have had a couple problems -- one with the tire pressure monitoring system producing a fault (Tesla is waiting on a new TPMS antenna to be delivered, which they believe will solve the problem), and the other with lack of 3G signal -- I am getting very little signal, which is preventing the use of internet radio, map rendering, etc (just notified Tesla today...waiting on feedback).
I am hoping that Tesla will resolve these issues, and based on the feedback from others, I don't doubt that they will.
I am a bit concerned that these things are happening so soon, but again, overall, the car more than delivers with outstanding performance.
PS...I'm also not crazy that without warning, they omitted the fog lights that were specified when I ordered the car, but that's a story for another thread).

The king of all workouts
I woke up Saturday to snow and as I so brilliantly waited for it to stop... it turned to rain. So I opted to drive down to a trail out of the altitude (5500ft) where it was still spitting but a balmy 40. The long tempo run, the best workout in the World... maybe even in the whole county. The goal was to just run relaxed and strong, but I did this same run before Leadville in 2010 and averaged 6:48 pace working quite hard so I did have that in the back of my mind. The first 13 felt like MAF but the last 5 required a bit of brain work which I feel is why the long tempo is the best workout. Zero calories in the 16 hours before and zero during, no water during. I sort of wanted a fuel test (ala Canova) to see how my MAF/AeT fitness are. No low energy at all during this which shows I didn't really go deep in to my glycogen stores. Had I bonked or wilted then I would have obviously been burning more glycogen than fat. This 'test' loosely shows my metabolic economy. This was my fastest long tempo run in probably 5 years.
2 mile warm-up, then 18 miles averaging 6:24 pace. The Garmin says 1700ft of gain but I would guess it closer to less.
Signs of fatigue.
Sunday was 12 miles with 2400ft of gain/ bike 1:45 with 2 X 3 mile tempo climbs.
Monday was 6 miles recovery jogging/ bike 1:30 with muscle endurance (big gear) intervals.
This morning I ran 12 miles with 2400ft of gain up to 9200ft altitude. My legs didn't feel tired but I didn't feel good. I averaged 7:45 pace which is quite solid up here and my average HR was 140. Gordo Byrn once told me "You're either really fit or really tired" in response to my HR and pace during a lactate test he was giving me. Fatigue and very high fitness sometimes show similar data. Just looking at my average HR VS pace you could assume I'm super fit. Or my HR is depressed and I'm very fatigued. My PE this morning felt OK, I was definitely working just to hold my HR above 140 on the climbs though. I'm fatigued for sure but I'm not on the edge yet. No lingering muscle soreness (the amino acid supplement I'm taking for recovery is brilliant), my sleep is OK. My appetite is gone which is part fatigue and part altitude.
6 weeks to the start of Leadman.

So MAF and MAP does a body good? That's an impressive run. I'm really becoming a believer in the MAF.

Wow, I am really excited for you, Lucho. It is clear that you are setting yourself to walk among the legends of Leadville lore- right up there with Carpenter. Best wishes in wringing every drop out of the well.

Is Matt Hart doing the Leadman? (I thought I sorrr his name on the list before.). The two of you could rip it a new booha.
- May 22, 2012
Longtime lurker, first time commenter.
Your training knowledge/wisdom, and subsequent sharing, is greatly appreciated.
Your fitness is enviable.
Your combined dedication to training and family (father of 4 myself) is inspiring.
Your love of IPA is equally shared.
Stay well and I look forward to your dismantling of the Leadman record books.

Storming workout!
How do you decide on the effort level? Is it purely "relaxed and strong" by feel or do you check your HR/breathing/whatever?
- May 23, 2012
- Lucho said...
William- Ya man!
Jim- Louisville part Dirty Bismarck/ part Coal Creek.
Vertical- That's very kind of you, but Matt is on whole 'nother plane. I would be lucky and ecstatic to finish within 2 hours of his time at Leadville.
Brett- He's not on the start list.
Sean- Thank you so much for the good word!
Thomas- Definitely feeling the effort is what I find to be ideal. I've gravitated much more towards connecting with my perception on harder runs. I use the HR monitor more to see my responses to the training and I use it mostly when I'm feeling fatigue. If I feel good then I allow my body and energy to dictate the work.
Tempo is an effort and less of a 'number' and particularly on the long tempo I think it is very good to be able to sense the correct effort. It can be tricky to feel the correct pace at mile 1 of an 18 mile run. A little too zealous and it can come back to bite you.
- May 23, 2012
- Stay Vertical said...
I wasn't saying your going sub-15:42. Just that you could add to the legendary stories of Leadville with a combined flogging of the Leadman events.

I'm in awe of those splits. Wow.

The bigger question is, did you run this is your Hoke's?
- May 23, 2012
- Lucho said...
Ward- No, I'm kind of saving them for Leadville. Best shoe ever!
- May 23, 2012
- Wyatt Hornsby said...
Lucho, with your Leadman quest, your resume and your training, I have to think you'd be an attractive ambassador for Hoka. Have you considered approaching them now--so that WHEN you win Leadman they can say you did it with their shoes on (granted, Hoka doesn't make a bike shoe that I know of)?
- May 23, 2012
- Lucho said...
Wyatt- I sincerely appreciate your generous words, and even more your generosity in GIVING me a pair of Hokas! I'm actually saving my pennies right now and plan, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, to buy a new pair for Leadville. This will be the very first time that I can EVER remember buying a pair of running shoes at retail. Of course I'll try to find a bargain though. But this is also the first time that I have felt that a pair of shoes may be worth it.

- P. said...
Apex stompin!
- May 24, 2012
- Brett said...
Tim, why don't you ping Karl or Mackey or one of the guys to get contact info at Hoka and see if they'll toss a pair your way...they're free unless you don't set the new Leadman record, in which case you have to pay them back a hundred bucks or something.
- May 24, 2012
- Lucho said...
P- Destrominating!
Brett- Ya, a few people have suggested that but I don't know Dave at all and have only met Karl a few times. I doubt he knows who I am. I'll ebay a few bike parts and buy a pair :) Thanks!

Mike- Master Amino Pattern (MAP). I've noticed the difference in my recovery like night and day.
And I'm also enjoying YOUR new journey! I loved today's post. I had a similar thing happen to me at a small mom and pop coffee shop where I realized that I had forgotten my wallet. The guy said no problem that I could pay next time. It was clear up in Longmont but I made a special trip back up the next day just to give him the money. His trust and generosity impressed me so much there was no way I was going to ruin it! Good stuff in this day and age I think.

Lucho (still trying to get used to calling you that),
What was your HR on the 18 mile run at 6:24/mile? What HR should I shoot for/stay under when running close to sea level? When going for "distance" (6-13 miles) and trying to work on increasing speed?

Brian- Take 180 - your age and run within 5 beats other side of that number for your base mileage. Then if you do a tempo run (like the one above)you would add ~10 beats to that range. If you're very interested in learning about training then buy Jack Daniel's book! You'll learn a ton with that.

Brazil's FIFA Futsal World Cup Thailand 2012 semi-final is not a game A Seleção's Gabriel will forget in a hurry. He scored twice in the 3-1 victory over Colombia and 'assisted' the other - an own goal by Jhonathan Toro - with a ferocious shot.
The triumph sparked timely celebrations for Gabriel, who turns 32 today. "Today's win, along with reaching the final and scoring, was something of an early birthday present for me," he told FIFA.com after the final whistle.
Sunday's final is a repeat of the showpiece match for years ago and it is an encounter with extra significance for Gabriel, who has been plying his trade in Spain since 2004. Friends will become foes for him and compatriots Ari and Wilde, as six members of the Spanish national side are their club colleagues at Barcelona.
"We know each other very well as we play together in Spain, but that won't actually benefit either side much," said Gabriel. "Spain have some fantastic players and I'm expecting it to be a nervy game. We'll need to be fully focused as even a small mistake could cost us the title."
He is a man who knows what he is talking about. In addition to winning numerous titles at club level, he was part of Brazil's triumphant FIFA Futsal World Cup campaign on home soil four years ago. Nevertheless, Gabriel believes the penalty shootout victory that gave Brazil a fourth world crown will be of little importance come kick-off.
I'm expecting it to be a nervy game. We'll need to be fully focused as even a small mistake could cost us the title.
"Games against Spain are always tough. The final will be a classic. They have a great team and defend very well. Little details could be the decisive factors. We need to get to grips with our opponent and come up with a good strategy against their strong defence in order to come out on top again on Sunday."
While it remains to be seen whether Gabriel will be his country's matchwinner once more, his keen eye for goal - he has scored three so far in Thailand - is one of the qualities that make him such a key player for Brazil. Yet the semi-final hero insists personal glory comes low down on his list of priorities.
"It doesn't matter who scores the goals. It was me in the last four, but in the final it could well be someone else. I don't usually score many goals in a single game because I see myself more as a provider for others," said Gabriel modestly. "Anyway, the most important thing is that the team wins, irrespective of who scores."
There was no sign of reserve, however, when asked what becoming a world champion for a second time would mean to him. "Of course it would be incredible if we win again," he grinned. "It could be my second World Cup title, but it would be the first time for some of the players in our squad. That's why we're all going to give everything to be celebrating at the end. We hope we can control the game and that we can stay focused over the entire course of the match."
Colombia's players can testify to the fact that Gabriel does not err often. If he did, he would not be a step away from a second world title as an integral member of the defending champions' team, nor would he play for the best club in Spain. As role models for success go, the newcomers in Brazil's squad could hardly wish for a better lead to follow.

Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Suppose the main proof completes with a forcing round on three
subgoals, "[1]Subgoal 3", "[1]Subgoal 2", and "[1]Subgoal 1".
Suppose you wish to
:use lemma42 in all top-level goals of the
first forcing round. This can be done supplying the hint
(if test '(:use lemma42) nil),where
test is an expression that returns
t when
ID is one of the clause ids in question.
goal-spec (parse-clause-id goal-spec)Recall (see clause-identifier) that
"[1]Subgoal 3" ((1) (3) . 0) "[1]Subgoal 2" ((1) (2) . 0) "[1]Subgoal 1" ((1) (1) . 0)
parse-clause-id maps
from a goal spec to a clause id, so you can use that function on the
goal specs printed in the failed proof attempt to determine the
clause ids in question.
So one acceptable
test is
(member-equal id '(((1) (3) . 0) ((1) (2) . 0) ((1) (1) . 0)))or you could use
parse-clause-id in your computed hint if you
don't want to see clause ids in your script:
(or (equal id (parse-clause-id "[1]Subgoal 3")) (equal id (parse-clause-id "[1]Subgoal 2")) (equal id (parse-clause-id "[1]Subgoal 1")))or you could use the inverse function (see clause-identifier):
(member-equal (string-for-tilde-@-clause-id-phrase id) '("[1]Subgoal 3" "[1]Subgoal 2" "[1]Subgoal 1"))
Recall that what we've shown above are the tests to use in the
computed hint. The hint itself is
(if test '(:use lemma42) nil)
or something equivalent like
(and test '(:use lemma42)).
The three tests above are all equivalent. They suffer from the problem of requiring the explicit enumeration of all the goal specs in the first forcing round. A change in the script might cause more forced subgoals and the ones other than those enumerated would not be given the hint.
You could write a test that recognizes all first round top-level
subgoals no matter how many there are. Just think of the
programming problem: how do I recognize all the clause id's of the
((1) (n) . 0)? Often you can come to this formulation of
the problem by using
parse-clause-id on a few of the candidate
goal-specs to see the common structure. A suitable test in this
case is:
(and (equal (car id) '(1)) ; forcing round 1, top-level (pre-induction) (equal (len (cadr id)) 1) ; Subgoal n (not Subgoal n.i ...) (equal (cddr id) 0)) ; no primes
The test above is ``overkill'' because it recognizes precisely the clause ids in question. But recall that once a computed hint is used, it is (by default) removed from the hints available to the children of the clause. Thus, we can widen the set of clause ids recognized to include all the children without worrying that the hint will be applied to those children.
In particular, the following test supplies the hint to every top-level goal of the first forcing round:
(equal (car id) '(1))You might worry that it would also supply the hint to the subgoal produced by the hint -- the cases we ruled out by the ``overkill'' above. But that doesn't happen since the hint is unavailable to the children. You could even write:
(equal (car (car id)) 1)which would supply the hint to every goal of the form "[1]Subgoal ..." and again, because we see and fire on the top-level goals first, we will not fire on, say, "[1]Subgoal *1.3/2", i.e., the id '((1 1 3) (2) . 0) even though the test recognizes that id.
Finally, the following test supplies the hint to every top-level goal of every forcing round (except the 0th, which is the ``gist'' of the proof, not ``really'' a forcing round):
(not (equal (car (car id)) 0))
Recall again that in all the examples above we have exhibited the
test in a computed hint of the form
(if test '(:key1 val1 ...) nil).

When it comes to confined entry, we often have trouble understanding when to apply the rules; not to mention which rule is appropriate. For example, many of us don't know the difference between "confined entry space" and "permit required confined space." That makes it hard to determine if hazards really exist.
What kinds of hazards might exist in a confined space? An oil-filled transformer is one example of a permit-required confined space with a potentially hazardous atmosphere. The nitrogen blanket above the oil is potentially life threatening because it displaces oxygen. Even if you remove the oil, the nitrogen may still be there. You may need to work in splicing pits, vaults, or manholes. Perhaps you need to enter large gas breakers, oil circuit breakers, or oil-filled transformers. Working in any of these spaces requires special procedures and training.
How do you evaluate confined spaces with confidence and determine if any special requirements or training is necessary? Let's start by looking at what defines a "confined entry space." It is:
• Any space large enough to enter and perform work;
• One with limited entries and exits;
• A space not designed for continuous occupancy; or
• A space where you might expose any body part to a hazard upon entry.
This differs from a permit required confined space, which is a space with one or more of the following characteristics:
• A hazardous or potentially hazardous atmosphere;
• Contains a substance that could engulf and asphyxiate an entrant;
• An internal configuration that could trap or asphyxiate an entrant by inwardly converging walls or by a floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross section; or
• Contains any other serious safety or health hazard.
When hazards exist within a confined space, that space must have a label that reads: "Permit Required," andit must have controlled access.
When you evaluate a confined space, you have to start with the worst scenario and "prove your way backward." This means all confined spaces require a permit until proven otherwise. OSHA's catchall statement, "a space that contains any other serious safety or health hazard," covers hazards such as exposed electrical equipment or equipment with stored energy (e.g., hydraulic). If you plan to work in a space like this, you must first release stored energy and de-energize electrical energy, or put appropriate barriers in place. Everyone should also follow lockout/tagout procedures.
If you hire a contractor to do the work, insist on seeing their training records. Ask how they will conduct a confined space entry into each specific type of confined space they may encounter at your site. Then, work cooperatively with the contractor to meet safety requirements.
What if you have a permit required confined space at your facility? Must everyone have confined entry training, and must you evaluate every hazard in that space? It depends. First, decide whether anyone on your team must enter that space. If not, tell your employees and contractors about the space, put a sign on it, and lock it. You've met the OSHA requirements.
All parties should be aware of the potential hazards of any permit-required confined space prior to entry. If you must enter a permit-required confined space, sit down with someone who knows that space or a similar space and brainstorm on what hazards may be present. Document all concerns. You are creating your OSHA-required confined space program as you do this.
Now that you've identified all of the potential hazards, document how to control them. Picture the kind of work people will be doing and determine what kind of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) they will need. At this point, you're developing what OSHA calls the conditions of entry. The idea here is nobody can enter a permit-required confined space before you've identified and eliminated or controlled all the hazards.
To enter a permit-required confined space, you must have a written permit. OSHA 1910.146 Appendix C, "Examples of Confined Space Programs," provides two sample permits that fulfill all of its requirements. The worker must post the fully completed permit outside the permit-required confined space during the entry. This allows others involved with the space to inspect and read the permit.
OSHA notes four roles for a permit required confined space entry: entry supervisor; entrant; attendant; and rescue services. These roles apply to contractors and owners of permit required confined spaces. OSHA requires people fulfilling these roles to attend annual training.
Making it simple. In the confined space standard, OSHA provides the following methods for simplifying your entry into the permit-required confined space. 1. Demonstrate that the only hazard in the permit-required space is a hazardous or potentially hazardous atmosphere you can eliminate by continuous forced air ventilation. With each entry, you must demonstrate (and document) this hazard elimination by conducting atmospheric testing. 2. Reclassify a permit-required confined space to a non-permit-required confined space. The flow chart in OSHA 1910.46 Appendix A provides guidance on this. You can reclassify the space by eliminating all the potential hazards within the permit-required confined space. But there's a catch. You must eliminate these hazards without entering the permit-required confined space.
Reclassification does not mean an end to your effort. When you reclassify, approach the space as if you are making a permit-required confined space entry. You still must train all of the people involved. You still must issue completed permits for each worker. By filling out the permit, you are addressing each of the expected potential hazards in that space and documenting how you eliminated those hazards.
Each worker verifies de-energization, release of mechanical energy, lockout/tagout, removal of any substance that could engulf an entrant, and atmospheric testing. Each person issued a permit should run through the list of safety items and ensure everything is correct; just as if the area did not go through declassification.
When you've completed all of these tasks and controlled or eliminated all hazards for the duration of the entry, you can reclassify the permit-required confined space to a non-permit-required confined space. If you are a contractor, the owner of the space must authorize this reclassification. You must do each of these steps every time you enter a permit-required confined space.
Why reclassify? With all this work, why bother reclassifying a confined space? The advantage is you eliminate some of the requirements. The first step is to fill out the permit (completely), write "Reclassified" across it, and post it outside the space. The entry that required three people to fulfill four roles now requires only two people. When an attendant can perform non-entry rescue, this is satisfactory for a non-permit-required confined space; and it may cut training costs.
A non-permit-required confined space doesn't have a requirement for a dedicated attendant. However, that does not mean no attendant. Should an eliminated hazard reappear or an unexpected hazard appear, the entrant may need help. Thus, someone should be in close proximity and maintain good communication with the entrant.
In the case of a reappearing or new hazard, you must once again view the confined space as permit-required until you eliminate that hazard. When this happens, note it on the permit. This allows the next person reviewing the permit to have an update on the hazards.
When work is complete in a reclassified confined space, the entry supervisor documents this on the permit. This terminates the permit and returns the confined space into a permit-required space. No one can re-enter the confined space after terminating the permit, unless you issue a new permit.
Some people try to get around this rule by writing "blanket" or "open" permits. This practice is wrong and dangerous. A permit cannot extend beyond the time necessary to complete the work in the confined space. You must issue new permits for new conditions or new people. This ensures the people working in and around the space participate in eliminating the hazards and the declassification of the permit required confined space.
Keep in mind, this article does not cover every detail of OSHA 1910.46. If you think there are confined spaces on your property or in your work area, seek help from a person qualified in confined space assessment. Anyone working in or near a confined space should have annual training on confined spaces, including non-entry rescue. If you have questions, contact an OSHA consultation branch through your state's Division of Industrial Safety Consulting.
