Defense fueled Braves'
run to state playoffs
Garretson's Braves fall
in CJ IV quarterfinals
to East Brunswick
By tim morris
t didn't take very long for Rick Garretson and his Manalapan Braves to realize what their strength was this year — defense.
"We saw that we were struggling offensively and if we were going to do, we were going to have to play defense," he said.
At times it meant winning ugly, but it was winning. Despite an offense that never really broke out, Manalapan rode its defense into the state tournament and then to a first round upset in the Central Jersey Group IV playoffs, 55-46 over Piscataway.
The Braves, who looked to be on the outside looking in at the state playoffs in mid-January, extended their season to the sectional quarterfinals where they fell last Wednesday night at No. 3 seed, East Brunswick, 59-45.
"We've had great chemistry on defense all year," said Garretson of his Braves, who were seeded 11th in their section. "We've played great team defense. The kids work well together. Our goal is to give a team one shot and hit the boards.
"Because of the trouble we've had scoring, the kids know they can't relax on defense; they have to play hard on every possession," he added. "We've played a little bit of everything; man-to-man, 2-3 zone and 1-3-1 zone trap. The kids have a good understanding of what works and why."
Entering the state playoffs, Manalapan had held the last four teams it had played under 33 points. To survive and advance in the state tournament, especially when you're the No. 11 seed playing on the road, playing good defense is a great way to start. But you still need to score more than 40 points a game if you expect to continue.
Manalapan's offensive strategy has been pretty simple – get the ball to the hot hand. Fortunately, among Matt Kandrach and Doug Saunders inside, and Mark Lax, Ryan Sheridan and Chris Caiola hitting from the outside, the Braves usually had at least one person step up each game to give the offense a lift.
On Feb. 28 in Piscataway, the strategy worked to perfection. Lax had the hot hand beyond the arc and the Braves kept getting him the ball. He nailed three three-pointers in the second quarter alone to help Manalapan forge a 29-21 lead.
Playing with the lead is just what Manalapan wanted to do on the road. It enabled them to control the tempo of the game and with Lax hitting 6 threes and Kandrach playing big inside, the Braves were able to hold the Chiefs in check in the second, and prevail 55-46.
Lax would score a game-high 18 (all on threes) while Kandrach added 12 along with 13 rebounds. Saunders chipped in with 12. He and Lax helped Manalapan jump out to a 14-6 lead after one quarter.
The Braves were looking for a repeat performance on the road last Wednesday against a strong East Brunswick five. For one quarter, the Braves quieted the home crowd as they played to an 8-7 advantage. But the Bears erupted in the second quarter, clawing the Braves 23-5 as Brett Godette led the way with seven.
The lead would swell to more than 20 in the third quarter, but somehow the gritty Braves managed to make the Bears sweat a little in the fourth quarter. With 2:20 remaining, Manalapan had cut the gap to 50-42 when Saunders blocked a shot by the Bears' Maxx Johnson, but no one could get a handle on the ball and it found its way into Godette's hands under the basket. His layup was the final nail in the Braves' playoff coffin.
Sheridan led Manalapan's second-half comeback scoring all 12 of his points. Kandrach had 10 and Caiola nine. It was a rare four-point play by Caiola that started the Manalapan comeback.
Godette led the Bears (20-4) with 16. Point guard Bob Henning had 15 and Johnson 11.
Manalapan finished its season 14-10. What Garretson will remember most is the way the players were able to put their egos aside for the team. Their team play enabled them to be greater than the sum of their parts and overachieve.
"I never had to worry about selfishness on this team," Garretson explained. "This was a very unselfish team. All the kids cared about was winning. It didn't make a difference who was doing the scoring. They weren't worried about shots, just winning. It was a fun team to coach."
analapan was the only boys team to get past the first round of the sectional. Like the Braves, Freehold Borough and Howell were hot teams at the end of February, but couldn't carry it over for 32 minutes in their playoff game.
Freehold Borough (16-9) wasted a 37-27 half-time lead at New Brunswick (17-7) in Group II. A 19-9 third quarter pulled New Brunswick even, and an 18-13 fourth quarter edge led to a 64-59 victory for the eighth-seeded Zebras.
Rohn Schutsky (20) and Richard Harrell (16) combined for 36 points in their career finales for the ninth-seeded Colonials. Schutsky's six threes had helped the Colonials jump out to the early lead.
For Freehold Borough, it was a hard way to end such a positive season. The team won the Kuhnert Memorial Holiday Basketball Tournament, named for the Colonials late coach, and had a winning record for the first time in three years. Still, they would have liked to have made some noise in the state playoffs.
Back in CJ Group IV, the Rebels, the ninth seed, were even more giving. They had led by eight, 40-32, going into the fourth quarter against No. 8 New Brunswick. Howell had come back from a 14-7 first quarter deficit to tie it at 21-21 at intermission. A 19-11 third quarter edge put Howell in control entering the fourth quarter.
But the final eight minutes would be a nightmare as the Vikings took no prisoners. Ricky Tyus poured in 14 of his game-high 27 as the Vikings outscored the Rebels 33-19 to roll to a 65-59 victory.
Tom Coleman, who sank five treys, led Howell (13-12) with 20 points while Chris Brown had 16 and Chris Hurley, 10.
Despite the setback, the Rebels can look to a learning season in which they won 13 games and made the state playoffs. All of Howell's key players, Brown, Coleman, Hurley and Charles Skinner, are returning. The Rebels have a lot to look forward to in 2001.

Carper Statement on Voluntary Agreement between California and Four Automakers on Fuel Economy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards
Top Democrat on Senate EPW Committee urges other automakers, Trump Administration to adopt the deal
WASHINGTON, D.C. – After repeatedly urging the Trump Administration to work with automakers and the state of California to strike a deal on fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards, and following his office's participation in the discussions that led to today's announcement, today, U.S. Senator Tom Carper (D-Del.), top Democrat on Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, commended the state of California and Ford Motor Company, Honda Motor Company, Volkswagen and BMW for their leadership in reaching an agreement that will protect clean air, promote American jobs and support the development of cars of the future.
"I commend California and these automakers for working together in good faith to find a principled compromise that will support the development of the clean cars of the future," said Senator Carper. "I urge all automakers to embrace this responsible path and seize this important opportunity. It remains my hope that this administration will abandon its efforts which are reckless, illegal and bound to send the automotive sector into years of litigation and economic disarray, and instead adopt the terms of this agreement."
The agreement announced today with automakers which together account for about 30 percent of US vehicle sales will achieve continuous annual reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful air pollutants while saving consumers money. If adopted broadly, compliance with these principles would deliver more greenhouse gas emission reductions than under the bifurcated system that could result from the finalization of the Trump proposal to roll back the federal rules, which would lead to one set of vehicle greenhouse gas emissions rules in California and 13 other states and a second, weaker set of rules in the rest of the country.
Since the beginning of the Trump Administration, Senator Carper has met repeatedly with Trump Administration officials and urged them to seek common ground with all stakeholders:
In May 2019, Senator Carper and House Energy and Commerce Chairman Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) wrote a letter to Administrator Wheeler demanding documents explaining numerous comments from Administrator Wheeler about EPA's fuel economy rollback that plainly contradict data presented to him by EPA's own experts.
In December 2018, Senators Carper and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) demanded disclosure of the administration's contacts with the oil industry regarding the fuel economy rule, after reporting revealed details of a covert lobbying campaign driven by fossil fuel groups to weaken fuel economy rules and increase demand for oil consumption.
In an October 2018 letter, Senator Carper urged Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler to abandon plans to dismantle the clean car standards, highlighting a non-exhaustive list of 10 major legal deficiencies in the administration's proposal.
Senator Carper led an October 2018 letter to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and then-Acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler with Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.) releasing documents proving that Congress rejected legislative efforts to preempt or limit California's authority in 2007.
In an August 2018 hearing, Senator Carper questioned then-Acting Administrator Wheeler about the proposed clean car rollback's flaws.
After EPA and DOT released their proposal to dismantle the clean car rules in August 2018, Senator Carper blasted the plan, saying that if finalized it would create additional uncertainty for American automakers and represent a step back in the fight against climate change.
After Senator Carper's office obtained a leaked copy of the draft clean car rollback, the ranking member in May 2018 sent a letter to then-EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and DOT Secretary Elaine Chao expressing alarm at a plan that would weaken standards and preempt states' authority.

Friendly Metal Detecting Forums - Anyone good with keys?
I feel like it's fairly old, it was dug in a park that was once a hospital late 1800s- early 1900s. I've tried looking but can't this particular key style. Any help? Age would be great.
On eBay I found they key in a set with a vintage brass padlock, but doesn't say anything about age.
It looks to be modern to me, mainly because the older ones typically had more ornate designs on them.

Buffalo Trace Experimental Rice Bourbon
Added on Tuesday, Apr 24, 2012 at 06:10 PM
Bottler: Buffalo Trace
Age: 9 yrs Type: American
Vintage: 2002 Subtype: Bourbon
ABV: 45.00 % Region: Kentucky
Price: $46 Availability: Specialty Stores
A bourbon made from a mash of corn, rice and barley.
The nose on this is definitely a bit different from the average bourbon. It's got some definite spice similar to a rye spice but also a sort of wet cardboard sort of aroma. On the palate, well, it doesn't taste like Uncle Ben's. The palate is extremely subtle and muted, but quite pleasant. It's also on the weak side, tasting much weaker than 45%. The finish is very light, just a bit of bourbon fumes and then a sort of graininess, really the only discernible rice-like flavor I've gotten from it (and if I didn't know it was made with rice, there is no way I would have identified it that way).
This one is sort of nice in its understatedness. It's not something I would seek out, but it's perfectly nice for sipping. I actually think there is something to it, and if I were BT, I'd probably thing about further rice experiments as they could use the formula to end up with an ideal flavor profile for someone who wants a lighter bourbon.
Nose is missing.
Palate is momentarily present. Vaguely like watery bourbon with a drop of some kind of Asian sauce. This is just so slight. If we weren't in the middle of an American whiskey renaissance, I'd think this was a fabulous product to market to those who require flavorless but not nasty (read: nearly all vodka) boozes, either for ice or to mix. Tastes a lot less than 45%.
It's hard for me to hate something so nothing, but hard to find anything to love as well.
N: Light and spicy.
P: Still very light, but a satisfying rye-like spice to it (tasted blind, I thought it was a rye flavored bourbon).
F: Clean and spicy.
I am partial to light clean ryes (e.g. Old Overholt), so maybe that's why this appealed to me.
N: Lightly sweet - grainy notes and some definite corn upfront; butterscotch and maple syrup. A very little bit of pepper, faint cherry and clay.
P: Light mouthfeel, almost watery. Doesn't make a huge statement. Sweetness develops, maple syrup and a little clay and cherry as balance. White pepper, cinnamon. Moderate wood influence which is just at the edge of becoming too bitter. Corn perks up near the end but nothing is bold about this.
F: Hot and dry with cinnamon, black cherry, and an odd grain note. A bit funky but still clean. It's more textural than having a distinct taste. Reasonably lasting and sits on the cusp of sweet and btiter.
The finish grain note is unlike anything I've had in a whiskey. I'd imagine it's the rice; the only thing I was reminded of was the aftertaste of a lukewarm Sapporo. This is a reasonably interesting whiskey but it's more a curiosity than something you'd want to settle down with.

We had another Filipino gastronomic experience at Chika-an sa Cebu, an affordable fine dining restaurant. It is located just in front of Cebu Northwinds Hotel.
The trendy restaurant makes the place more inviting. It had a modern Filipino decor with soft and warm lighting. The restaurant can get a little noisy if it is full, but I like the friendly and informal atmosphere.
Superb selection of dishes were available, including an extensive range of pork, beef, chicken, fish & seafood dishes. We sampled their crispy pata (deep fried pork leg) and nilagang baka (boiled beef). Again, hubby ordered his all time favorite sisig and baked scallops. The foods were served in hearty portions and the flavors were bold. They also serve an eat-all-you-can rice.
For those wanting prepared meals, live local crabs are sold per 100 grams and they will cook it for you. Also to be enjoyed is the Original Mandaue Bibingka, their signature native delicacy or you may try Banana and Nangka Toron with Latik.
The price was a bit expensive compared to Golden Cowrie but it was worth it.
The restaurant has wide parking space.


Are you hesitant to get rid of things because they hold memories for you?
It is about becoming conscious of what, how and why you own the things you do. Becoming conscious of the impact they have on your happiness or feeling of balance.
You know, we often don't need much in order to hold on to the memory. To illustrate, I have a piece of tree bark in my small sentimental box. It has a little bit of dried up moss on it. When I go into that box and see it, I remember my trip to Oregon to visit a friend and just about every moment spent in the red wood forests there, plus a lot more.
Oh, I have more from that trip than just that tree bark. I have a ton of pictures. I never think about those memories until I go into that box, see that bark, or look at my pictures.
In truth, aside from the pictures, I have seven memory holders from that trip. I have one tree bark, one piece of weathered wood 6 x 1 in round, and 5 stones. The first two are purposeful memory triggers. When I hold that piece of wood and close my eyes I am virtually transported to Mt. Shasta. I can see every detail of the mountain and the paths that I walked on. I can remember everything.
The stones on the other hand are not that purposeful. I picked them up from different places that we visited thinking that they would help me remember the spots we visited. That was really an unconscious secondary justification. I just love stones. Over time I have forgotten which stone came from which place (I didn't write on them). I think because they were all stones and not different types of objects. Time blended the memories together.
When I see those 5 stones they remind me of exactly the same memories that the other two items do. And, if I were to mix them with the other stones I own, they would loose their memory significance all together. I would no longer be able to distinguish them as coming from that trip.
In truth, I cannot say I need to keep these 5 stones because they remind me of something that I won't remember without them. I just have them because I love stones.
It is always fine for anyone to choose to keep something that they love except when keeping it will make them unhappy in any way. I have hundreds of small stones, most of them I have put in garden pots, or in a bowl on my dining table. Iam just saying, they aren't cluttering up surfaces in my home or blocking my hallway, or causing my closets and drawers to be non-functional.
The things we have that we love should be honored and appreciated. For instance, I have little precious stones and crystals housed in the jewelry hanger in my closet(see the picture). Notice how they are displayed in my closet. I often admire them because I put the jewelry that I wear daily in that hanger. So, I am reminded to admire my more precious little stones every time I put my rings and necklace on. I don't have any other stones in any storage place out of sight.
If I think about storing something out of sight unseen, unappreciated perhaps for years or never to be seen again until I die, the I don't need it. If it is truly not a memory holder or would crowd my storage space so that the space isn't functional, I don't need it. I can take a picture and pass it on to someone who can add value to it. With rocks, I just throw them into the woods somewhere!
This video is a really good one on this topic. They talk about added value achieved in letting go. Another point they bring up is about people not releasing things just in case they may someday need it. I agree that sometimes this is really true because of limited resources and ability to earn. But, so many of us hold on to so much "just in case" when resources are not a problem and the "holding on to" is causing distress and disharmony. In some way causing chaos. Its just good to ponder for a moment if keeping it is worth the dysfunction or disharmony it causes in your space. If there is none then for sure, I would decide to keep it!
It's a Ted Talk by The Minimalists. I love these guys, while realizing that not everyone is going to be a minimalist like them they do inspire us all to think about the belongings we own and I just love sharing their stuff.
Loved it, I'm drowning in stuff! Going to follow the videos and books, hopefully it will help me…Thank you!

Google Unveils New Tools To Help Small Businesses During COVID-19
Ilker KoksalContributor
Google states that people around the world are looking for help in this pandemic and global search interest in "how to help small businesses" reaching an all-time high in March 2020, increasing more than 700 percent since February. According to a newly released report by the Connected Commerce Council, nearly one in three small business owners said that without digital tools, they would have had to close all or parts of their business. In this perspective, Google is releasing a series of updates to help local businesses to adapt to the COVID-19. With these new sets of features, Google will allow small businesses to support themselves, including gift card sales, fundraising, or marketing their virtual services.
To help local businesses share how their communities can support them during COVID-19, Google allows business owners to add donation and gift card links to business profiles, through Google partnerships with PayPal and GoFundMe for donations and Square, Toast, Clover and Vagaro for gift cards. Support links are initially available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand and are now expanding to 18 additional countries, including Japan, Spain, and Italy.
Another update aims to address the virtual services since the pandemic is impacting in-person businesses. Restaurants have turned themselves into virtual kitchens in-person activities such as fitness, yoga studios have begun streaming classes online. On the updates of Google, merchants who are verified on Google My Business will soon be able to add attributes like "online classes," "online appointments," or "online estimates" to their Business Profiles and in the coming weeks, it'll be visible on merchants' Business Profiles in Google Search and Google Maps.
In addition to this, Google is expanding its Reserve with Google appointment-setting program. "We're expanding Reserve with Google to help merchants offer easy appointment bookings for online services so customers can quickly find available times, book a slot, and add it to their Google Calendar—all directly from a merchant's Business Profile. Millions of people have already booked in-person appointments with salons, restaurants, and other businesses thanks to integrations from over 100 Reserve with Google partners," Google says. And Google is now expanding this to include bookings for online services, starting with partners like Booksy, Regis, WellnessLiving, and Zooty as well.
Google's new updates for small business is neat and necessary for the sake of the economy in this environment where economists project that more than 100,000 small businesses in the U.S. have closed permanently since the pandemic escalated in March.

I'm hoping to have another successful GeekNight tonight. It'll be more development focused I expect – I'll be working on a UI for JBehave (with a view to creating an IDEA plugin) and no-doubt others will be doing development they'd appreciate help with. If you fancy coming along, pop over to the wiki and "put your name down":http://geeknight.thoughtworks.com/index.php/GeekNightLondon28July2004. More details can be found "here":http://geeknight.thoughtworks.com/index.php/GeekNightLondon.
Continuing a series of write-ups on the presentations made at "Geek Night":http://geeknight.thoughtworks.com/index.php/GeekNightLondon last week, "Nat Pryce's":http://nat.truemesh.com/ latest project OO-Matron is next up.
Rather than the evolutionary approach of JBehave, OO-Matron might potentially be revolutionary, or might just be too complicated for people to use – I'm still undecided. It's designed to replace existing Mocking API's, whilst at the same time adding the ability to enforce system-wide invariants to your tests, which in turn can be used to provide system documentation.
At last Wednesday's "Geek Night in London":http://geeknight.thoughtworks.com/index.php/GeekNightLondon, we had a presentation of three related software development projects. I'll give a brief write-up of each of them, starting with "JBehave(Codehaus – JBehave)":http://jbehave.codehaus.org/.
With the perceived desire nowadays amongst the unwashed (blogging) masses to simplify the way their code acquires dependencies (whether it be via setter or constructor or ego injection), a recent problem made me take a step back and look at the problem from a slightly different angle – before you start wondering about how to acquire your dependencies you should really be asking questions of yourself as to why you need those dependencies, and whether or not in your drive to simplify one piece of code you end up complicating the system as a whole.


Irene Jay Liu of Capitol Confidential compared the New York delegations of the Republican and Democratic Conventions: while the NY Dems were "raucous and loud, talking over even the biggest speakers," she said, while the NY Republicans are "dressed in suits, significantly better behaved (clapping at the right times, not talking over the speakers), and over all a calmer, more homogeneous bunch." Liu thinks the Republican torpor may be due to Hurricane Gustav, but we think they're just terrified of what might come out of the Palin family next.
Speaking of politics, Long Island Republican Congressman Peter King was much in the news. He endorsed Bob Straniere for the Republican nomination in the 13th CD over Straniere's opponent in the September 9 primary, Dr. Jamshad Wyne, and played up his party's chances in the race, which others have found grim: "Once the primary's over… and [Republicans] see how competitive that race is going to be," he told the Staten Island Advance, "I think you'll see the money coming in." Then King and Straniere hastened to tell the New York Daily News that it wasn't so bad that Sarah Palin's daughter got knocked up.
Kevin Pravia, 19, got home very late from a party in Brooklyn Saturday night — actually, he didn't even leave the party until 5:30 am, apparently intoxicated, according to witnesses. Nonetheless he called several friends afterwards. Later on Sunday he was found dead in his bed at 239 West 15th Street "with a sheet over his body and an electric cord wrapped around his neck," says the New York Times, though a cause of death has not yet been determined (NY1 reported the cause as strangulation). Pravia's cell phone and laptop are missing. He was about to start his sophomore year at Pace University.
An update on that wedding horse-buggy crash described here yesterday: the Daily News says the two horses involved in the accident — whose names, we learn, are Stormy and Elvis — are on "sick leave" at a farm in Connecticut. The buggy's owners hope they can make it up to the bride and groom, Eulalio Torres and Nunzie Luberto, who were to ride off into the sunset in the buggy but presumably got married anyway and could not be reached for comment.


Notes: The Mohair Leech is one of my favorite stillwater flies. I first saw this pattern in early 1990 on Crowley Lake. It is thought that Jack Shaw and Mike Andreasen are the originators of this pattern using Canadian Mohair Yarn, which is a coloration blend of Angora Goat. Jack Shaw designed his Blood Leech in 1965 using burgundy-dyed wool. Later, in the 1970's, Jack bought some Canadian Brown Mohair yarn at a local knitting store in Kamloops B.C. with numerous fiber colorations. This coloration change to his pattern greatly increased the number of strikes. The word was out that there was some secret Canadian Brown Mohair and Jack had cornered the supply. Utah resident Mike Andreasen frequently fished the B.C. area and came in contact with Jack's pattern. Mike adapted Marabou for the tail and tried a number of Mohair yarn colorations as well. Through Mike's introductions, the pattern spread throughout the Western States in the 1980's. The fly is usually tied in sizes 6-10. The Angora goat fibers extend from the body sparsely which helps give it an undulating motion. It is best weighted with a bead and/or lead wire in the front half to enable the fly to give a jigging effect upon retrieval. The Mohair Leech can be tied with a number of colors such as Olive, Black, Purple, Maroon, and Brown. A Black or Black/Brown tail variation is often used, especially with the Brown Mohair Leech. The body can be formed using a 4" piece of Mohair yarn in which the fibers are laid back in a 90 degree angle as the yarn is wrapped around the shank. Another method is to pull away the fibers from the yarn into a separate pile from which you can add various colorations and apply the material as a dubbing around the thread. The strands are brushed with a wire brush to bring the fibers away from the shank. A third method is to use Angora Goat dubbing and mix your own Mohair coloration, I also like to add some Ice Dubbing or Lite Brite to provide some sparkle. A number of material distributors sell Mohair yarn on spools or cards, others apply the Angora Goat hair to a thread core and market the material as Leech Yarn. I prefer to work with packages of Angora Goat Dubbing and mix the colorations to suit. For the tail, I prefer Plume Marabou. Plume Marabou has small lateral fibers often extending to the tip. This creates a fuller tail without increasing the number of fibers. Don't apply a full Marabou tail, as in a Wooly Bugger, yet it should be as long as the shank. This tail needs to be sparse and the plume marabou fibers help keep the tail from looking too thin. Beadheads are common on these patterns. If a bead is not chosen, then you do need to weight the front half of the fly to get the proper undulating action in the "strip and pause" retreive to mimic an actual leech.
Brian Chan of Kamloops BC came up with his variation in 2005 with the Ruby-eyed Leech. Rather than attaching a Marabou tail, Brian used a tuft of Mohair material (which is what Jack Shaw did forty years earlier). The body is a mixture of Angora Goat, Simi Seal, Ice Dubbing, and a small amount of Lite Brite. Blend this mixture with a short spurt from your blender. Attach a number of fibers at the bend of the hook and rope the material. Place the roped dubbing within a dubbing loop and twist the loop to secure the material. Wrap the material within the loop up to the bead and whip finish. The fly is finished by extracting the individual fibers with a piece of velcro. The Ruby colored glass bead represents the gill segment of a bait fish and is a triggering mechanism. Brian also likes to tie this pattern in a Black and Red coloration.

When a new "coming soon" sign came up at the bad feng shui spot on the corner of Las Tunas and Mission, I thought nothing of it. When I learned it was going to have Shanghainese food, I became intrigued enough to go there for lunch today.
The appetizer of vegetarian chicken we ordered was tender, soft, and surprisingly flavorful. It even tasted a little bit like pork. But supposedly it's vegetarian, amazing!
The Shanghai fried rice cake (sans pork) was typical. It had a good wok qi taste, but could have been a little more salty. Maybe because Will ordered it without chicken-msg, but it was a little bland.
The standout at lunch was the shen jian bao. These come four to an order, but don't dispair because they're not your typical bite-sized bao's. Judging from appearance, it gets a 10 because of the golden fried bottom adorned with white sesame seeds, and the pillowy white top decorated by a sprinkling of black sesame seeds and green onion. The texture of the bao was spot on: crispy and fried on the bottom, soft and airy at the top.
The lava-hot broth was plentiful and rich and the meat filling was flavorful and savory. I liked that the ground meat was more roughly chopped and still retained some texture instead of being like a smooth round ball of meat paste. Dipped in a little bit of vinegar, slurped up with some soup, and then chased by a bite of the bun, it was perfect.
The menu at Emperor Noodle contained a wide range of noodle soups that I didn't get a chance to try, but next time, offal-filled noodle soups, you are mine! The neighboring table's yellow fish noodles looked pretty good too.
On my never-ending quest to find the Shanghainese restaurant, I ventured into Yu Garden, a newly opened Shanghainese Restaurant on the corner of Valley and Del Mar. Yu Garden is so new, it still has the new car smell. The walls are decorated with faux molding, the menus are still lacking the stickiness of well-worn Chinese restaurant menus, and the wait staff all still had that youthful, hopeful vibe in their eyes.
When BF and I placed our orders, the waiter brought out a free appetizer plate of bean sprout salad. The sprouts were savory, sweet, and did their job whetting my appetite, but I couldn't help wondering just how much MSG one would have to put in the sprouts to make them taste so delicious.
After seeing a recommendation for the Chinese gourd (literally 'shred melon') with salted duck egg yolk on ExileKiss, I couldn't stop thinking about the combination, so I ordered it. The usually bland but fresh tasting gourd was perfect with the creamy, salted duck egg yolk mixed in. Each bite was perfectly rich and soft, but never mushy. Since tasting this dish, I have to wonder, why would anyone eat this vegetable any other way?
The BF ordered his usual rice ovals (nien gao) with Chinese spinach. The version on the menu, despite just listing the vegetable, also comes with slivers of ground pork, so if you want to order a vegetarian version, make sure to specify that. The nien gao was satisfying and chewy without being too hard nor too mushy. On our second visit, we ordered a different nien gao dish, the Shanghai style nien gao (but also vegetarian) and the only difference was that it came with slices of fresh shiitake.
Also worth ordering if there are vegetarians at the table is the braised tofu. The braising liquid is a bit sweet, typical of Shanghainese cuisine, but does a fine work of penetrating the custard-like soft tofu. On a subsequent visit, I ordered the braised wheat gluten puffs, which had a more solid texture than the airy, light puffs I was used to. If those puffs could be soaked in the tofu's braising liquid, I'd call that dish a success.
My modus operandi is to order a kau fu appetizer at a Shanghainese restaurant, but I decided to switch it up. Thanks to the suggestion from my dad, I ordered the baked tofu and Shanghainese wild greens which were both chopped finely and put onto a palte. The greens (ma lan tou) had an herbal taste that brought out the savory flavor of baked tofu. I also ordered a julienned chaoyte dish which was crispy, simple, and tasty.
Maybe it's because on my first visit, I ordered all vegetarian dishes and the waiter thought I was vegetarian, but I wasn't offered the free plate of stir fried shrimp. They did bring out a plate on my second visit and it was fantastic. Even my picky-about-seafood mother enjoyed it. Each unshelled, head-on shrimp was coated lightly with a salty, sweet, sauce that left me licking my fingers after pulling the head off each shrimp and sucking the shrimpy goodness out.
The shrimp was so good that the seafood dish I actually ordered, fish slices in a Chinese wine broth fell short. The broth was so delicate that I could barely taste any hint of the wine, which was unfortunate because a stronger tasting broth would have masked the fishy taste of the fish better. Yeah, yeah, don't eat fish if you don't like a fishy taste, but fish isn't supposed to taste fishy if it's fresh.
Having one dish I disliked out of the many that I ordered isn't that bad of a start for a restaurant. Considering it's still their first month of opening and they probably have a few kinks to work out in the kitchen, it's not bad at all. It certainly seems like the kitchen staff hit the ground running. I think I may have just found my new favorite Shanghainese restaurant.
I also like the waiters. They're accommodating, pleasant, and speak Shanghainese to each other. It's great that they're brutally honest about MSG. There's no stigma against it in the kitchen, that's for sure. When the waiter realized that the BF could eat regular MSG and not chicken flavored MSG (chicken bouillon cubes), he offered to take a dish he just brought out back into the kitchen to add some MSG for flavor. Another time, my mother asked if there was a lot of MSG in some dish before ordering and the waiter remarked, "That's where all the flavor comes from!" That's not to say that everything is laden with artificial flavor enhancers. Most of my dishes tasted great, but I wasn't excessively thirsty afterward like some other restaurants which use a lot more MSG.
I'm glad that there's yet another Shanghainese restaurant on Valley Blvd. I'm even more glad that it's one that has decent dishes. I may also be biased because the restaurant is named after one of my favorite (albeit touristy) areas of Shanghai. I'm definitely going to have to go back to try some of their xiao long baos next time. I can't believe I went twice without ordering them.
The city of Wenzhou may not be known for their cuisine like other parts of China, but I was still excited to learn about a restaurant which supposedly has dishes from Wenzhou. Ding's Garden is also known as Savory Garden and also known as 大合卤味 — it all depends on which sign and menu you look at. The restaurant is incredibly small with just a handful of small tables and a glass display case which holds various cold appetizer plates and brined duck.
Of the appetizers, I've had the pickled cabbage, kao fu, tofu sheets with pickled snow cabbage, and braised thin-sliced pig ears. Their pickled cabbage, one of the best renditions of this dish, was crisp, sour, and a little spicy. The kao fu was even better because it was soft, slightly sweet, slightly salty, and without any of that canned food taste. The tofu sheets were also a good choice, especially after having such a bad experience with them at another restaurant. Finally, the thin-sliced pig ears were fantastic — salty, spicy, soft and slightly crispy with cartilage. If you're a fan of pig ear, definitely try these.
My first time here, I wanted a traditional Wenzhou dish, which I heard involved fish balls. They may not sound too appetizing, but they're harmless; they're just like meatballs but made out of fish instead of beef or pork. I ordered the fish balls in noodle soup. The fish were less ball shaped and more rustic, like small strips of fish. Each bite contained the cooked fish batter which was both soft and chewy with chopped ginger mixed in. While the fish was new to me and interesting, the star of the dish was the noodles, which were wide but thin — kind of like wider, thinner fettuccine. Even though these were wheat noodles, they had that slippery mouth-feel that rice noodles like the ones in chow fun had. This was the first time I've had wheat noodles like this and I really enjoyed them.
The BF also wanted to try the noodles, so the lady working there was nice enough to offer us off-menu a vegetarian noodle soup with just pickled snow cabbage, water, salt, and noodles. The dish was simple and a great way to highlight the noodles. Next time he orders this, we're going to ask for some pickled mai gan cai which'll probably add another layer of depth to the soup thanks to its slightly earthy flavor.
When I visited Ding's Garden a second time, I tried another specialty of theirs: large wontons in soup. The wontons were casually squeezed in large, thin wrappers and then cooked in a simple soup with seaweed, strips of thin omelet, and ground pork. It may not look like much, but this bowl of soup and wonton was so warming and comforting that I don't know how I'll force myself to try something new next time I return. Even though there are no noodles in this soup, rest assured that it's more than enough to eat thanks to the large wrappers and the amount of wontons.
Maybe not for novices, but Ding's Garden also has decent stinky tofu. It's stinky, but not blow-your-socks-off stinky. The braised tofu with chili oil is savory and salty inside, maybe a bit too firm, and pairs perfectly with a bite of the pickled vegetables. Don't be scared away with the redness of this dish. Its bark is worse than its bite.
Ding's Garden may not look like much, but most of the food I've had here was solid and tasted like no-frills, good, Chinese food. The lady who works there is friendly, the noodles are good, and the prices are low. It may be too small for large groups, but it's perfect for a quick, casual lunch when I'm in the mood for simple Chinese food.

Q: Need help understanding the fluent wait Java code I am trying to understand the Java code associated with fluent Wait in Selenium. The code goes as below:
WebElement foo = wait.until(new Function<WebDriver, WebElement>() {
     public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {
       return driver.findElement(By.id("foo"));
     }
   });

I know that the overall code is waiting for a particular WebElement to be returned by the until method. But my doubt is pertaining to the below code piece.
new Function<WebDriver, WebElement>() {
         public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {
           return driver.findElement(By.id("foo"));
         }
       }

I also understand the Function is an in-built Functional Interface that takes WebDriver as input and returns the WebElement as output. But how does the new keyword fit into the whole code?

A: Fluent Wait uses two parameters – timeout value and polling frequency.
1. The maximum amount of time to wait for a condition
2. The frequency to check the success or failure of a specified condition.
Also, if you want to configure the wait to ignore exceptions such as , then you can add it to the Fluent Wait command syntax.
Wait wait = new FluentWait(driver)
    .withTimeout(30, SECONDS)
    .pollingEvery(5, SECONDS)
    .ignoring(NoSuchElementException.class);

WebElement foo = wait.until(new Function() {
    public WebElement apply(WebDriver driver) {
        return driver.findElement(By.id("foo"));
    }
});

analyze of the above sample code.
1. Fluent Wait starts with capturing the start time to determine the delay.
2. Fluent Wait then checks the condition defined in the until() method.
3. If the condition fails, Fluent Wait makes the application to wait as per the value set by the pollingEvery(5, SECONDS) method call. Here in this example, it's 5 seconds.
4. After the wait defined in Step 3 expires, the start time is checked against the current time. If the difference of the wait start time (set in step-1) and the current time is less than the time set in withTimeout(30, SECONDS) method, then Step-2 will need to repeat.
The above steps will recur until either the timeout expires or the condition becomes true.
Function is the functional interface
@FunctionalInterface
public interface Function<T, R> {

/**
 * Applies this function to the given argument.
 *
 * @param t the function argument
 * @return the function result
 */
R apply(T t);

/**
 * Returns a composed function that first applies the {@code before}
 * function to its input, and then applies this function to the result.
 * If evaluation of either function throws an exception, it is relayed to
 * the caller of the composed function.
 *
 * @param <V> the type of input to the {@code before} function, and to the
 *           composed function
 * @param before the function to apply before this function is applied
 * @return a composed function that first applies the {@code before}
 * function and then applies this function
 * @throws NullPointerException if before is null
 *

Sex Drive is a raunchy road trip comedy that comes with a few surprises, though probably not the ones the filmmakers intended. It's no surprise that the movie goes for sweet romance near the end, or that its characters says endlessly filthy things to each other for an hour and a half. All that is par for the course in the comedy world that Judd Apatow has created in his image.
Sex Drive is a raunchy road trip comedy that comes with a few surprises, though probably not the ones the filmmakers intended. It's no surprise that the movie goes for sweet romance near the end, or that its characters says endlessly filthy things to each other for an hour and a half. All that is par for the course in the comedy world that Judd Apatow has created in his image. The actual surprises come sporadically throughout the movie, when a joke hits just right, the story takes the perfect turn, and you'll find yourself, against your will, laughing out loud.
It's even more surprising because the best parts sound awful on paper. There's Seth Green as a relentlessly sarcastic Amish man with car repair expertise. Or, later, the drunk Amish girls in their one period of freedom, shouting "Rumspringe!" and passing out in the back of wagons. Even the donut costume, seen constantly in the ads, turns out to create some good jokes. Casting James Marsden as a foul-mouthed, chauvinistic meathead is an intentional stunt, but the surprise comes when the character overcomes the nonstop, predictable homophobia to become-- who would have guessed it?-- hilarious.
So while Sex Drive isn't original, creative or consistent, it's a step or two above average, and the pleasure lies in being surprised when the movie overcomes its own limits. Director Sean Anders, who co-wrote the screenplay with John Morris, isn't interested in reinventing this tired genre, but injecting humor into his story so successfully that it makes a worthy addition anyway.
The plot, such as it is, starts when Ian (Josh Zuckerman), a frustrated virgin about to start college, decides to drive 8 hours to meet his Internet fling, who he knows only as Ms. Tasty. Joining him on his road trip is his ladykiller friend Lance (Clark Duke), who talks him into stealing his older brother Rex's (Marsden) GTO. The two are joined at the last minute by Felicia (Amanda Crew), Ian's best friend since childhood and secret crush.
Of course, nothing goes according to plan. The car breaks down just as a nasty-looking hippie (David Koechner) tries to hitch a ride, Lance hooks up with a gas station attendant whose jealous husband interrupts them, all three spend a night in the slammer, and, most memorably, they spent another night at an Amish enclave where Fall Out Boy, for whatever reason, is playing a concert. Yeah, it's all ridiculous, and becomes even more so as Rex tracks them down to seek his revenge, Lance falls for an Amish girl, and Ms. Tasty proves to be not at all what Ian expected (though, being played by Katrina Bowden, she is in fact hot and blonde). But the more time you spend in this world of hot babes and wild adventures, the more fun it becomes, until lines like "No way my little brother is taking it in the chili ring!" start to feel inspired. Maybe it's a you-had-to-be-there kind of thing, but that's the way it is for pretty much any raunchy comedy. With the right audience and the right frame of mind, Sex Drive could go from merely passable to transcendently, ridiculously funny.
For me, it fell somewhere in the middle. I wouldn't recommend it to my mom, as I did with Superbad, or go out of my way to see it again. But for something that looks so unpromising in theory, Sex Drive is a delight, a mix of absurdism and raunch that just barely avoids overstaying its welcome.

July 1998 Thirty Days
BROADCASTER AND POLLUX
Recipients of the recent Westcott House Chronicle were delighted to discover that 25% of it was dedicated to a biography of Revd. Angela Tilby.
"Angie", regular broadcaster and former BBC religious affairs producer, is referred to as one half of the "Heavenly Twins" who job share the Spirituality Tutor post. The other half is the radical feminist nun Sister Lavinia Byrne whose modernism extends to a preference for tweeds over the dreary old habit. Those who have wondered just what convent this apparently peripatetic sister inhabits will be reassured by the Chronicle which informs us, "Fortunately Angela and Lavinia get on well together as they have to share the tutor's house in Park Street."
Lavinia, with her nun's training is a domestic paragon; Angela, by her own admission, rather less so! The courses they teach also overlap in various ways – something that means that the lucky ordinands are receiving two for the price of one."
Lucky everybody really.
BRECHIN WIND III
Articles about the small but beautiful diocese of Brechin (average Sunday attendance 943) have prompted many correspondents memories of the elderly but dynamic bishop, Neville Chamberlain. It was Nev the Rev who commissioned the great Easter mural outside St John's, Princes Street, Edinburgh in 1996.
Many will remember the national headlines and condemnation from stick-in-the-mud R.C. and Church of Scotland spokesmen when Nev's glorious crucified cow replaced the traditional outdated image.
Richard Holloway was so udderly amazed by this that he mooved our Nev into the episcopate before you could say John Spongiform encephalitis.
COMPROMISING POSITION
Those fearing a hermeneutical bloodbath at Lambeth over homosexuality can relax. South African Bishop, Peter Lee and U.S.A.'s John Spong have worked out a compromise. They are in favour of marriage, against predatory sex and for justice for homosexuals. Only three areas of disagreement remain – blessing same sex unions, ordaining practising homosexuals and …the authority of the bible.
As our American cousins are wont to remark, "No problem".
MAJORITY SORORITY RULE THULE
In a recent meeting with the Archbishop of Uppsala, the Bishop of Grimsby raised, as promised, Fr Kirk's question in General Synod about the treatment of opponents of women's ordination in Sweden. The Arch. replied that when the number of women priests in a diocese is over 50% it is virtually impossible to ordain any opponents.
The question of how you get to this 50% threshold was not raised. Presumably by not ordaining opponents.
ADDITIONAL CONFUSION
So let's go over this one more time shall we? The C of E lost £800m in ill-advised speculation. With over a quarter of the assets gone the Church Commissioners could no longer be expected to subsidise diocesan clergy stipends. Therefore quotas had to rise year on year. Quite so.
The remaining assets were ring fenced to pay for pensions. Logical, sensible.
But wait….asset values have substantially recovered, we are told, and interest rates rise. Strangely quotas still have to rise! Pensions must now be funded by parishes!
Hold on though, this decade will see a dramatic drop in stipendiary clergy anyway i.e. less people to pay.
Obviously you need to be an accountant to understand these apparent contradictions or perhaps you need the long avoided public enquiry into the no fault divorce between the ordinary parishes and their historic assets and hard earned cash.
NORWAY TO BEHAVE
Shortly after the Archbishop of York's fraternal visit to our Porvoo Partners in the former Viking territory it was back to business as usual for the persecutory Norwegian church. The about to retire Bishop of Oslo, set about destroying the capital's leading orthodox parish Gamelakin. Having moved the priest, installed his own man and personally reordered the worship, he can only have been thrilled to discover that a congregation of nearly 300 was reduced to 35. So bizarre was his behaviour that it made headlines in the national press and caused the Minister for Religious Affairs, by no means a conservative, to speculate on TV about the disestablishment of the church.
BRECHIN WIND IV
Being a monthly publication it is, tragically, impossible to keep up with the electrifying pace of change in the self proclaimed Anglican communions "Flagship" diocese….BRECHIN. No sooner had we reported Bishop Neville (B.S.E) Chamberlain's radical promises than he was delivering results.
"Neither gender nor sexual orientation nor breakdown of marriage will be a barrier to ordination in this diocese nor, I would hope, to the episcopate."
Well informed porridge fanciers thought this was retrospective attack on the diocese for previously rejecting a senior male divorcee for Nev's own throne. Be that as it may Nev's real bombshell really dropped a few weeks later.
Worshippers at Dundee Cathedral were bravely trying to recover from the scandal of their previous Provost's unorthodox accounting procedures. (The appropriately named Fr. Bunce was, unlike the C of E, subject to a rigorous public enquiry in the courts over the trifling sum of £44,000). To reward them and encourage them Bishop Nev has appointed the lovely Miriam Byrne (any relation?), 51.
Miriam started as a nun (strange co-incidence), ran off with a monk and married him. Eighteen years and three children later she left him and went to train for the priesthood at Westcott House (stranger still!). Luckily she met the librarian of Strathclyde University and followed him to Scotland. He has two children by his first marriage.
Miriam, in her pinstripe open neck shirt, boyish haircut, earrings and "Ted" jacket reassured doctrinal conservatives, "I'm not in favour of numerous remarriages. If it doesn't work a second time I think you should give up." Amen.
CONSECRATION STREET
Fans of the Granadaland soap opera, the diocese of Manchester, will be intrigued by the latest offering of its bishop "Christa"pher Mayfield. He is looking for a new suffragan bishop and a new Archdeacon of Manchester. For the bishopric Mayfield states that the "personal gifts" required are: Central or evangelical tradition, sympathetic to the ordination of women and a confidence in their own gifts and interests. He need look no further than the bathroom mirror. But no….the other "personal gift" listed is to live outside the Diocese of Manchester (one can quite understand why this may be seen as a gift). Coincidentally the new Archdeacon must also be in favour of women's ordination.
"Christa"pher, the first English bishop to sit in his cathedral and worship the female Christa on the cross, has clearly forgotten that he signed a famous document in Manchester….Bonds of Peace.

A covert US/Soviet military experiment designed to create the ultimate telepathic and telekinetic soldier backfires when the sole successful test subject goes AWOL in an explosive tale of action-packed conspiracy starring Judge Reinhold. It was a risky venture from the onset, and when only one of the five test members emerged from the top-secret military experiment suitable for battle they could never have imagined the trouble he would cause after learning the real purpose of his training. With time running out before the powerful soldier called Mindstorm decides to turn on his handlers in an attempt to get revenge for their deception, it's up to former Black-Ops officer Evan Mink (Reinhold) to find and contain the unstable warrior and ensure that the government's dirty little secret doesn't hit the headlines.
'Project: Human Weapon" looks like it was made for televison. No, wait, that's kind of an insult to TV movies. This is like a pilot for a TV movie that failed.
There are no featured reviews for Project: Human Weapon at this time.
Evan Mink: "I know four guys who paid the price. I think they know."

All 18 UCI ProTeams are invited automatically and obligated to attend, with nine cyclists per team. Two UCI Professional Continental were announced well ahead of time,  and . UCI rules normally limit races to a peloton of 200 riders, but the Giro received special dispensation for a 207-rider peloton, allowing a 23rd team. The three additional invited teams are , , and . Despite talk that ProTeam  might be excluded to the doping scandals involving team members Riccardo Riccò and Ezequiel Mosquera, they were included pursuant to UCI rules.

The cyclists wore numbers from 1 to 229; the first team had numbers 1 to 9, the second team 11 to 19, etc. The exception to this rule was the , who wore numbers 150 to 158 instead of 151 to 159, thus giving Italian champion Giovanni Visconti the number 150, as in 2011 it is 150 years after Italy was unified in the Kingdom of Italy.

Tesla's quarterly numbers turn off investors
Investors clearly expected great things from Tesla Motors' third quarter earnings report, released Tuesday.
The upstart automaker beat Wall Street's expectations, posting a pro-forma profit of $15.9 million - or 12 cents per share - on strong sales of its electric Model S sedan. Tesla also reported rising production at its factory in Fremont, churning out 550 cars per week.
But some analysts and investors had been hoping for more. The company's high-flying stock plunged 11 percent in after-hours trading, dropping to $157 per share.
It was a typically odd turn of events for Tesla, whose success with the Model S has turned its stock into one of the market's most hotly debated.
By many metrics, the company had a solid quarter.
Palo Alto's Tesla delivered 5,500 cars during the quarter, including 1,000 to Europe. Deliveries have increased steadily since the Model S first hit the market, in June 2012. Tesla now expects to ship 6,000 cars in the fourth quarter, reaching 21,500 for the year. The Model S ranges in price from $69,900 to $94,900, before state and federal incentives are factored in.
The company's $15.9 million pro-forma net income, which excludes the accounting effects of Tesla's auto-leasing program, marked the company's third consecutive quarterly profit. It also represented a sharp turnaround from Tesla's $97.1 million loss (or 92 cents per share) during the third quarter of 2012.
Under generally accepted accounting principles, the company lost $38.5 million during the quarter, down from $110.8 million during the same period last year.
Revenues reached $431.3 million, up from $405.1 million in the second quarter and $50.1 million during the third quarter of 2012.
Investors may have been hoping for a blowout quarter, particularly in the automaker's production and delivery numbers. Recent speculation on investment websites had suggested that Tesla might have shipped as many as 7,000 cars, far higher than the 5,150 delivered during the second quarter.
Tesla's stock has been sliding in recent weeks, following two vehicle fires that received widespread attention on the Internet, even though neither appeared to have been caused by a flaw in the Model S design. Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk also helped deflate the stock price after he was quoted in the Financial Times saying the company's valuation was higher than Tesla had "any right to deserve."
Investors are waiting to see whether the initial strong demand for the Model S will grow as the company expands into Europe and Asia. Tesla reported Tuesday that it will begin delivering the Model S to China in the first quarter of next year.
"There's absolutely been a novelty factor," said Karl Brauer, a senior analyst with the Kelley Blue Book auto information service. "The question is always how big and how sustainable is that market? We're still in the niche phase."

Borrow a blind ? Thanks guys got one!
Does anyone have a pop up blind I can borrow for 10-14 days?
Re: Borrow a blind ? Thanks guys got one!
Yep got a double bull Pro Staff blind that I turkey hunt out of everyear and works great with a recurve, even have a hand golf cart I rigged up to carry it around on and makes it so easy to transport it and your gear, you are more then welcome to use it.
Hey, Mark...sorry....been really busy with my Dad in FL having major surgery...out of town and all and had hunters this past weekend.
I sure do thank you...I'll see you Monday sir.
I love TradGang! What a country. Now if we can just change the President and Senate, we'll be in good shape I think!


It is material for the thermal transfer press which allows to receive the qualitative image with necessary characteristics, such as resistance to attrition, brightness, resistance to mechanical influences and hostile environment at the smallest expenses, also these properties have to will remain throughout the entire period of use of marking elements. It is necessary to select tt ribbon depending on necessary characteristics of the image. You can buy from us tt ribbons all the types presented in the sphere of the thermal transfer press. Generally ribbons to be divided by structure of the painting layer.
Ribbon on the basis of wax. This type of a ribbon is ideal for the press on paper labels and labels. It is necessary to carry the low temperature of the press to pluses of this ribbon (respectively longer service life of the thermal transfer equipment), the high speed of the press, high quality the image and the low price of this tape. But it wasn't also without minuses from which main thing the low resistance to attrition and external influences in comparison with other types of a ribbon shows that reduces the sphere of its application.
Ribbon on the basis of pitch mix with wax has incorporated all advantages as WAX of a ribbon and a ribbon on the basis of pitch and became a universal ribbon. It is applied there where it is necessary big resistance to attrition but there is no need for big resistance to mechanical influences. The main pluses is the best quality at the press on synthetic materials, the increased resistance to attrition, high speed of the press and average cost.
Ribbon the main component is pitch. Best of all is suitable for the press on synthetic materials (on the basis of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester). The image printed with this material or the text have good stability to mechanical to influences and influence of hostile environment (chemistry). Data the tape type well resembles for the press on textile labels which have to maintain repeated cycles of washing, processing steam and hot surfaces. Only with his help it is possible to apply the image to a sewn in label and it will remain qualitative for many years.
printers of initial level the plug with a diameter of 0,5 inches is usually used, and it is long windings you make from 74 to 110 meters.
for more expensive solutions and industrial printers the standard is the plug with a diameter of 1 inch, and is long windings makes 300 m, 360 m, 450 m, 600 m.
— FLAT HEAD — technology of the press when using a flat thermal head, at this type of the press a heating element adjoins to a thermal transfer tape on a piece of 10-20 mm. This technology is applied in all Datamax printers and in some models Zebra, Proton, Toshiba.
— Near Edge – the technology of the thermal press which uses an angular thermal head it allows to lower a piece contact of a head with a tape to 1-5 mm. This technology is applied in some printers of Toshiba of TEC, SATO, Avery Denisson.
You remember that the correct selection of a ribbon will allow you to achieve the desirable quality of the press at minimum price and will allow to lower your costs of operation of the thermal transfer equipment (replacement and cleaning of the printing heads and other parts of the printer).
