I really can't wait until tomorrow... You keep getting more and more beautiful every single day!
Before opening a text from you I'm already smiling. Just knowing you thought of me is amazing.
Thank you for making me feel like the luckiest person on earth!
Waking up to a text message from you is what brightens my day.
I enjoy your random texts. I like knowing I have crossed your mind.
It's gotta be illegal to look that good!
I bought some new lip gloss today, I hope you like it!
Stop wearing makeup... It's messing with perfection!
By the way, I just realized that you are my medication... I feel so much better each time I see you!
Come over, I have all your favorites. Pizza, beer, and of course, ME.
You know what's awesome? Read the first word again.
You look great today. How do I know? Because you look great every day.
I know milk does a body good, but WOW how much have you been drinking?
I'm too calm right now, I need you here to set me on the edge again.
I was just telling my friends about you. They're so jealous!
There are definitely two sides to me. Maybe more. If you are lucky, maybe I'll show you them all.
Hey there cutie! I just want to send a quick hello before I head out for the day.
I really like chatting with you. Sometimes it is the only fun I get to have all day.
There is no other better feeling than this one, being with you.
Whenever you are around I can never take my eyes off of you.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? About us?
Every song I hear on the radio makes me think of you...
There's something missing with the spaces between your fingers. My fingers.
You know what makes me really happy? Realizing the amount of things we can do together!
Every night before I go to sleep the last thing I think about is your arms around me.
I'm trying to get in shape, maybe you can be my personal trainer?
I am here, and you are there. One of us is at the wrong place.
I am at work but the only work I want to do is make you happy.
It's not called "insomnia" it's called "missing you".
I can't wait for you to scoop me up in those big, strong arms!
You're my favorite drug and I can't get enough of you.
I don't need a cup of coffee to wake me up in the morning, I need you.
If I were with you right now, what would we be doing?
You give me chills over my entire body. No one has even made me feel like that.
When I'm in your arms, I feel alive. Don't ever let me go.
You're like my favorite dessert, I can't get enough of you.
When I see you tonight I am going to give you a ton of hugs and kisses!
Our night went so good, you were a lock made only for my key.
Will you join me for lunch? Food just tastes much better when I am with you.
I was just going to have a cigarette but then I remembered how much you don't like it.
I don't get my friends being so crazy about all the celebrities. They should see you in your new swimming suit!
You have made my life so much better. Can I at least do something to make your day better?
I know I should enjoy watching the game with guys, but I just can't stop wondering - what are you doing now?
I just keep repeating our date in my head. Probably people think I am crazy, going by bus and smiling to myself.
If I do badly on this test, it's your fault. I can't focus because of you!
I forgot to tell you that first time I saw you I thought you had lips like Angelina Jolie.
How is that possible that when we are together time just flies, but when I am waiting to see you again every hour is like 10 years?
On my way home there is a lady who has beautiful garden with roses. Every time I am passing it I am thinking about stealing all of them for you.
Seriously, I was going to work hard today...but then I remembered you walking in the rain yesterday. And I am totally gone!
Honestly, I don't really remember your friends from yesterday and I am not so sure what the movie was about. But I remember every detail about you.
I am watching a comedy and just imagining how you would laugh makes me ten times happier.
My perfect coffee break - taking some sun, drinking late and imagining how is it going to be once I see you again.
I think all my friends are getting annoyed because I am constantly talking about you.
I forgot to tell you yesterday that when I was watching you dancing in the club, everything else was just gone for me.
I don't know how you do it but even in the morning, with your hair messy, no makeup and wearing my old t-shirt you look like a super model.
Somehow my blanket smells like you. The sweetest smell ever!
I just ordered a pizza only because you like it so much and it reminds me of you.
I think I will never be able to look at other girls in the same way, everybody just seems less pretty than you, less funny, less smart...
I'm sorry I was not so talkative last evening. I was shocked by your beauty and elegance so I just tried not to make a fool of myself.
I have a surprise for you, and I'm sure you'll love it.
I am sure you will look so dazzling tonight, I can only try not to look like a homeless person next to you.
Let's try an experiment - since I enjoy whatever I do with you, I propose we try something that I never liked and see if you can change it.
I always thought I was bad with compliments but since I met you I know I just needed an inspiration.
Your skin is so delicate that sometimes I am afraid I could damage it somehow.
Sometimes I feel like a freak refreshing my mail box every 5 seconds to see if you wrote to me.
Every time I find out that someone was rude to you I just feel like running over there and punching that person.
I have this voice in my head telling me I want to know more and more about you.
Remember yesterday when you were trying to teach me how to pronounce your name correctly? Well, I think I need couple of more lessons.
I remember I used to complain about this part of the city where you live. Now it seems like the best place on earth, I have a huge smile every time I am near it.
I always hoped I would meet my soul mate but I would never believe that person could be so beautiful at the same time.
Yesterday was the first time since high school when I was nervous before a date. Coincidence?
How are you doing? I have always been curious how an angels' day goes.
By the way, the way you walk makes me forget how to use my legs.
Hi princess, do you have any special wishes for today?
Even your voice is so warm that you could easily change late November into middle of the spring.
I will never be able to dance as good as you do, but I am very good at watching you and admiring.
My parents keep asking about you and I simply can't answer without smiling like crazy.
If you ever happen to forget how wonderful you are, just text me. I have like 1,000,000 examples to prove it.
Did I tell you yesterday how beautiful you were? If not, I feel like a total fool because that was exactly what I was thinking the whole time.
This is so you - coming into my life without permission and making it absolutely wonderful.
If I could choose between winning a million dollars and a date with you, I would take you out and feel like a millionaire anyway.
I can't stop wondering how it would be to spend the whole day with you. Whole 24 hours of amazingness!
What I really like about you is that you surprise me every time I see you. You are like a magic box full of unexpected beauty.
You are the only person that I enjoy being with, even if we don't do anything.
I used to worry about everything but with you life feels so much easier.
It feels amazing just to realize that we are in the same city, looking at the same grey sky.
You are just like a cat - graceful, independent, tricky and I adore you unconditionally.
There is nothing I would like to change about you. I think you are perfect.
Not sure if we really met yesterday or if it was just a really beautiful dream.
There is a place I would like to show you, I think that could be "our place".
I will never understand how I found the courage to talk to you the first time we met.
I can't exactly recall this warm, exciting feeling I have when we are talking. Can you help me to refresh my memory?
I am just trying to imagine how you look right now. Can I get some hints? Just don't say "pretty", I know that already.
I need to ask you a favor. And I need you to do it right now. Can you please smile? A bit more? Almost there! Yes, great, just like that. You made my day, babe!
Can you tell me what your idea of a perfect day is? I have a feeling that one day it might be useful for me to know.
The only problem I have with you is that I can't really say "no" to you.
I remember I told you I have a tattoo, but I totally forgot to show you where it is. We should make it happen!
I was just checking the pictures from yesterday... and girl, you are just shinning on each snap. You should really come and see for yourself.
I am listening to our song and feeling as if it was written just for us.
You are so beautiful that it is almost annoying. But you are also extremely cute so I forgive you.
Do you remember this moment when our eyes met? It was like our private earthquake.
I have a confession to make - when you are wearing your short black dress, my imagination goes crazy.
I have to say I had a really long day today. Knowing that you are enjoying yourself would make it so much better.
My boss would probably hate you if he realized how distracted I am at work because of you. But then I think it is impossible to hate you so don't worry.
You know that face you make when you are thinking deeply about something? When you are biting your lips and almost closing your eyes? I don't know if you do it on purpose but you look so hot when you do that.
I have to say you are truly magic.
I can imagine that the whole city is looking at your perfect legs when you are walking down the street.
Hello Snow White! How about some hot chocolate today?
You are truly inspiring. I wouldn't be surprised if one day someone made a movie about you.
I have a couple of ideas for a photo session with you.
Hello my dear! I know you had a stressful day but you know what they say... "show must go on" and it can't go on without its main star.
I would love to take you for a trip around the world one day so I can see the beautiful face you make every time you are surprised.
I am going to try to cook a new dish tonight and I feel like I need a food critic.
If I could travel in time I would go to my past and tell myself "There is someone in the future that will make you the happiest person in the world. Just relax and wait, it's worth it."
Your eyes look as if they hide a secret. It is so intriguing.
I feel like I could take over the world with you.
Every date with you is an adventure. Crazy, beautiful and unforgettable adventure.
I have to be careful with you because I feel I want to give you everything and spoil you to no end.
My dreams became much sweeter since I met you.
I am not sure if I should take you to this party. You will make all the guys crazy about you and all the girls frustrated because of your beauty.
Even waiting for you is nice, I keep imagining how you will look, what you will say, how you will smell...
Sometimes you make me forget what I was going to do. So next time we meet, in case I forget, please remind me to kiss you.
Listening to my favorite songs with you makes me discover a whole new meaning in them.
You are giving me millions of reasons to smile every day.
When we are together my body stops listening to me and starts listening to you.
Even if I really try I can't be angry with you. I am really going to, but then I just look at you and it is completely gone.
I was wondering before, why everybody was so crazy about you. Now I know they were not crazy enough.
With you everywhere feels like home.
Every centimeter of my body wants to protect you from anything bad in this life.
I started to create a list of movies in my head that I would love to watch with you.
Oh my, when you smile everything else is just a background.
There is this one picture of you I can't stop looking at, your eyes look so hypnotizing! I have to show you next time I see you.
You are one of the few people who just has natural class.
How's my beautiful brat doing today?
You. Simply. Fascinate. Me.
You tempt me like no devil can!
My usual smooth, suave, slick self is totally replaced by an awkward, clumsy fool whenever you're around!
You're like a drug to me, one I wouldn't go to rehab for.
There's no pretending, I'm going to go nuts if I don't see you again.
I've never been much for soul mates or love at first sight. But meeting you has proved me wrong.
You can't force love but with you I'm willing to be a slave.
Just one message from you can make my day.
I think I might need to get my head checked. I can't get you out of it!
Counting down the seconds until I see you again.
You make me feel like a million bucks.
How come the time we spend together is never enough?
The way you look every time I say goodbye makes it so hard for me to walk away from you.
I start my day with you on my mind and end my day with you in my dreams.
1 universe, 9 planets, 204 countries, 809 islands, 7 seas, and I had the privilege to meet you.
Hey, I was wondering, do you believe in love at first sight? Or do I need to walk by you again?
If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would definitely put U and I together.
I'm trying to fall asleep, but I can't stop thinking about you!
If I was to write my biography someday, the climax would be when I met you!
Hey babe, what will you choose, sleeping or talking to me?
Hey honey. I haven't seen you in a while. I'd love to catch up.
Hey sweetheart. Got anything new to share?
Hi baby. I can make sure you have a great day. Curious?
You were the hottest girl in the room tonight.
Hey babe, what's up? Wanna go on an adventure with me?
I have to stop myself from pouncing every time I see you.
Hey cutie. I want to cheer you up. Want to let me try?
You should stop making me think abut you. I'm busy :)
Hey cutipie! Where have you been hiding?
Hey honey. I just thought I'd send some loving hugs your way.
Hey sweet cheeks. I could use some tender loving care right now.
Hey you! Wanna brighten my day? Send me a picture or tell me a good joke :)
Hey girl, home alone tonight? Wanna talk with me?
So bored tonight. Want to come keep me company?
Hey, don't be a stranger, talk to me tonight.
Really enjoyed talking to you yesterday. Wanna do it again tonight?
Been a while, Though I'd say hello.
You know what's mission impossible? Not thinking about you :)
Hey babe! I miss your face.
You make my heart race and my hands get all sweaty.
Hey sugar. I can use some fruity flavored chat. Wanna help?
You're so cute, I want to cry.
Hey dear. Do you have any plans? I'd love to take up some of your time.
I need some motivation in my life, maybe you can be mine?
They say Disney World is the happiest place on earth. Obviously they haven't been with you!
Do you know you're so sweet that there's a wanted poster for you at the candy store!
Your mirror is way too lucky! Every time you look into it, it gets to look back at you!
It's International Say Hello to Someone Cute Day. Hello!
Hello? You haven't forgotten about me have you?
Sometimes I feel like you put a magic spell on me. If you did, please, never take it back.
God was showing off when he made you!
I'm so bored! Wanna go on an adventure?
You are what they refer to as the light at the end of the tunnel.
Sometimes I find it difficult to say out loud what I have in my mind. For example I say "You look nice" but I really think "That girl is a goddess and I am the luckiest man to be able to look at her".
If you look up "beautiful" in the dictionary, there will be an accurate description of you.
I need more excitement in my life. Thrills, adventure. Something that gets my blood pumping.
I need a distraction. Or maybe satisfaction. I am not sure which would help the most.
Need a break. Quick, you have 5 minutes to amuse me! And....go!
What are you up to? I want you to fill me in.
I can cook too. I like spicing it up, even in the kitchen.
Think I'll wear a dress today. I feel extra girlie for some reason.
You remind me of pizza. Because sometimes I get a craving for pizza.
We must have a psychic connection. I was just thinking about you.
What am I thinking about now?
Have you always been this cute or did you get cuter over time? Do you practice?
I can't go to sleep without a goodnight kiss. It's bad luck.
Sometimes I am not sure what you think of me. I hope it's good.
Sharing messages with you is one of the best parts of my day. If not THE best.
If you could do anything in the whole world right now, what would it be?
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
How about we just take off? You and me on the open road sounds great.
My sign is whichever is most compatible with your sign.
I'm not vain. I am just really cute!
Do you ever wonder if there is more to life than being really, really, really, ridiculously good looking?
These readings are off the charts! You broke my charm-o-meter.
Clever response. I wonder if you are as talented in other areas.
Can't text, manicure time. Why don't you send me a bunch of messages and I will read them later.
So many stars out tonight. I am making a wish… about you. But I can't tell you what it is.
Just thought I would harass you for a bit. What are you doing right now?
Your love is like a force field and I've been sucked into it!
I love the way you look at me!
You're an angel and I'll be your little devil.
Hello sweetie. Care to give me some attention? I'm in the mood for a chat.
Can't wait to take you out again. You're too much fun.
Hey cutie! Are you lonely tonight? Wanna talk?
I just love making everybody jealous when I walk with such a gorgeous person as you.
Hey baby. I thought of you and it made my day awesome. Just wanted to let you know.
Hey cutie. I thought of you these days, and it got me in a good mood.
Are you bored? I can enterain you!
Hey babe, I'm thinking about what my kind of guy would be like, do you think it's you?
What food do you like better, sweet or salty?
I felt like going for a walk tonight, but then I think about doing it alone and get sad.
I know your dad must have been a king for a day at least for you're such a lovely princess.
Woke up this morning with my sweets craving mode ON and immediately thought of you, sugar pie! How have you been?
Hey baby, I'm ridiculously bored! Entertain me?
Hope you're thinking of me, because you've been on my mind all day long.
Wish you were here!
There's a babe on TV that made me think of you, want to guess who it is?
Hey honey. Thought of you today and it put a smile on my face :)
Hey babe, I miss talking to you. How are you today?
Hey you, just thinking about you. Wanna talk a little?
I am so excited to see you. Come here already!
Hey there, it's been so long since I have messaged you, let's catch up!
Last night I dreamed about you. So I'm leaving a text to let you know you were on my mind.
I keep dreaming about you. Can you be my girl forever?
We both make the perfect couple, believe me?
Hey babe, got anything going on later tonight?
Just thinking about you. Wish you were here, babe.
I don't care what we do, so long as it's together.
No distance is too far to travel if it means that I will get to be with you.
When do I get to see you again? I miss you.
Let's get together, you pick when and where.
Do you work at the candy shop, because you know all the sweet spots.
I want to travel the world with you. When can we leave?
I think you're sweet, sweeter than pie.
Remember the day we met? Not a day goes by when I don't think about it.
You're so cute when you're desperate.
I think you're adorable. Just thought I'd tell you that.
I can't think of a better use of time than spending the whole day doing nothing with you.
With me, you can have your cake AND eat it too. ;)
Whenever you're away, I count down the minutes until I can next see you again.
Your words are the sweetest song my ears have had the pleasure of hearing.
Whether you mean to or not, you always have a way of smoothing my rough edges.
Do you know what day it is? It's the best day because I get to see you.
I feel like I'm getting the better end of this deal, because nothing compares to your value.
I can't think about anything but cuddling with you.
I could say it a million times, but it would never measure up to how much I feel it.
Forever isn't long enough to spend with you.
What would you call what we have? Would you call it love?
You energize me. I feel so alive.
I don't want you to just be a chapter in my book, I want you to be the main theme and my happy ending.
You are and always will be the best thing that has ever happened to me.
So long as I am with you, anything can happen and I will be fine.
You are the love of my life, the milk to my sugar, the honey to my bitter.
I will take care of you when you are sick, even when it's the ugly kind of sick.
I could talk to you for hours and never run out of things to talk about.
You are so beautiful, do you know that?
What do you think about when you see my name?
You are the strongest person I know.
Wherever you are, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you.
Every move you make is a masterpiece.
Every word you write is the greatest poem.
I just want to run my hand through your hair and smell your shampoo. It's my favorite smell.
May I have this dance?
You are more exquisite than the greatest steak.
I want to kiss you every New Year's Day.
Let's dance the night away, every night.
The finest gourmet diner would not measure up to your beauty.
Whatever can I do to get you to see the beauty inside of you.
I'm peanut butter and you are jelly and we go together on homemade bread.
All the money in the world wouldn't measure up to your value.
You keep all the fear away, my knight in shining armor.
Just thinking about you warms me up inside :)
The thought of you is a light for me in the darkest times. Imagine what would happen if we were together.
You inspire me to pursue my greatest dreams.
You make me feel so right, even when we are acting completely wrong.
You make me believe that there is goodness in the world.
All of the oceans and seas in the world couldn't contain my love for you.
Have you ever listened to someone's heartbeat? I bet yours makes the most beautiful melody.
I want to save every moment with you. But there isn't a hard drive big enough to hold it all.
Nothing else matters when we are together.
Sweet dreams could never be as sweet as you.
Where did you come from and how did they let such a beauty like you leave? I'd never let something this wonderful go.
I'm a math nerd and you sure like like a prime number to me.
What's up, cutie? Been thinking about you all day.
Can't get this stupid grin off my face when I think of you.
Can't think of anything I want more than seeing you right now.
Serious question: How do you manage to look amazing every time I see you?
Send me a picture so I can tell Santa my wish list.
Can you please stop being so hot? It's really distracting.
I hope you feel like a movie star today. Because you should.
I just took a really good picture of myself, want to see it?
I am getting addicted to our daily chats.
Have I told you today how cute you are? Because you are cute :)
Can you be my full time job?
Counting down the minutes until I get to see you again...
Good morning! I don't really need to wish you a good day, I know you will rock it like you always do!
Hello babe, thinking about you? How's your day?
I am kinda like a candy bar. Mostly sweetness but occasionally a little nuts.
I love the sense of freedom you give me, I can totally be myself with you.
How is Miss Universe doing?
If I were a damsel in distress how would you rescue me?
How is it possible that someone can be so smart, beautiful and talented in the same time? I kind of feel proud that I know you.
Everything depends on your answer to the following question: Indiana Jones or Han Solo?
Hey cutie pie. You seem like my perfect next date.
I'm your genie. Grant three wishes and I will do as you say. Your wish is my command.
Hey how was your day? If you need to unwind, I'm here for you.
What's up cutie? Been thinking about you today...
Great! Now I am grinning at my phone like an idiot.
You're so cute, it's annoying!
You looked so beautiful yesterday... You made me forget what I was going to say!
If I could find a way to eat your texts I would never need to buy groceries again.

Game Night (dir. John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein)
Max (Jason Bateman) and Annie's (Rachel McAdams) weekly game night is a staple part of their week, not just for them but their circle of friends. When Max's brother Brooks (Kyle Chandler) takes over and arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and federal agents, things take the most unexpected of turns. Brooks gets kidnapped, but that's all just part of the game right? As the competitors set out to solve the case, they start to learn that neither the game nor Brooks are what they seem to be. The friends soon find themselves in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn over the course of one chaotic night.
There is enough talent within Game Night to provide laughs, Bateman and McAdams for starters are solid comedic leads and the cavalcade of characters around them has sufficient talent as well. Lamorne Norris, Sharon Horgan and Chelsea Peretti have all had me rolling with laughter in the past, it was somewhat sadly surprising to find that Game Night did nothing for me.
One of the major problems was the Bateman and McAdams relationship which I found to be tiresome, this hyper competitive couple who fall in love over a Teletubbies quiz question were at times frankly unlikeable. Their exclusion of neighbour Gary (Jesse Plemons) making them really hard to take as the 'heroes' of our adventure. Plemons does play the oddball neighbour wonderfully but their treatment of him flies in the face of the film's efforts to have us root for them. The Game Night gang they surround themselves have little real purpose other than find themselves in contrived situations, presumably to pad out time and script pages. Worst affected by this are Kevin (Lamorne Morris) and Michelle (Kylie Bunbury) who's journey into whether or not she was unfaithful with a celebrity is so unnecessary and frankly uninteresting they may as well not be there!
A range of references from years gone by including Pulp Fiction and Fight Club (leading to a pay off you can see coming a mile away) felt a little out of time and fell flat making the short run time of 100 minutes, at times, insufferably long!
There were others in my screening who seemed to be enjoying themselves and laughed along in all the right places, I however left Game Night with no desire to return. Two parts of this Game Night were absent for me laughter and heart.
Game Night is in cinemas now
Game Night is classified as a 15 certificate by the BBFC
Director: John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein
Running time: 100 mins

subset: commoncrawl

I added a new blog titled Made By Lori (to match my etsy store) so that I could have all of my craft and store related postings be more associated with my store name.
Let's just hope with school starting soon I can keep up with my crafty/personal blogging :) Here's hoping.

Mass-loss rates of H-rich central stars of planetary nebulae as distance indicators?
Astronomical Institute, University of Utrecht, Princetonplein 5, 3584CC, Utrecht, The Netherlands
2 SRON Laboratory for Space Research, Sorbonnelaan 2, 3584CA, Utrecht, The Netherlands
Corresponding author: H. J. G. L. M. Lamers, firstname.lastname@example.com
Accepted: 14 January 2002
If the mass loss rate, , or the modified wind momentum, Π, of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPN) is strictly related to the luminosity, the study of their winds can be used to derive their distance as suggested in the literature. However, the mass loss rates and modified wind momenta of a sample of 13 CSPN published in the literature show a separation into two groups, which differ by a factor 10 to 102 in Π. This is partly, but not completely, due to differences in the adopted methods for mass loss determinations, and partly due to differences in the adopted stellar parameters, mainly the effective temperature. We have adopted a homogeneous set of stellar parameters, based on the Zanstra method, the dynamical ages of the nebulae and on evolutionary tracks, and scaled the mass loss rates accordingly. The revised data show that there is a large jump in and Π near K, with and Π being larger by a factor 10 to 102 for the cooler group of CSPN of spectral type Of, than for the hotter group of type O. This discontinuity is most likely due to a bi-stability jump. The revised data do not show a clear relation between Π and the luminosity. The consequences are discussed in terms of the post-AGB evolution theory and the radiation driven wind models.
Key words: stars: distances / stars: early type / stars: evolution / stars: mass-loss / planetary nebulae: general

Chevron's Technology Marketing invites you to contact our New Business Development group to learn about licensing our MERCAWAYSM process technology as well as MERCAWAYSM technical services provided to our licensees.
Mercury in crude oil and condensate can be effectively reduced by up to 98%
MERCAWAYSM process technology is a straightforward process for reducing mercury (Hg) content in crude oil and condensate using easily understood chemistry and well-proven unit operations. It is a semi-continuous operation with a single filter while continuous operation can be achieved by online switching between two filters. There are four key steps in the MERCAWAYSM processing scheme as follows:
Desanding Step
The Desanding Step is accomplished using a hydrocyclone to achieve removal of sand and other particulates. The Desanding Step reduces the filtration load and improves cycle length. Depending on the nature of the produced crude/condensate stream, this step may be omitted.
Reaction Step
The Reaction Step is conducted by introducing a treat chemical bearing at least one Hg reactive sulfur (S). The treat chemical dosage required can be readily determined using laboratory test methods for the crude or condensate to be treated. The reaction takes place in a stirred reactor at modest temperature and pressure. The key reaction is
Filtration Step
The Filtration Step uses a pressurized precoat filtration system with operating cycle expected to range from 12 - 48 hours depending on feed and other filtration variables. In the current application, diatomaceous earth, DE, is added first as a filter precoat and later a finer grain DE is added to the feed to achieve filtration to 0.7μ. DE addition rate is determined during laboratory testing phase. Filtration has proven to provide 98% removal of HgS. The Hg containing filter cake is discharged at the end of every cycle for environmentally acceptable disposal.
Polishing Step
The Polishing Step is conducted in a fixed absorbent bed for further reduction of Hg content of the crude. This step may be unnecessary if acceptable levels of Hg removal are achieved after the Filtration Step.

Other artists express their feelings through a different kind of art. I will give the best example that i know. Let's take James Zabiela, he is a great Dj and producer, well known worldwide. He and his girlfriend are together since long time ago, although Zabiela suffers when he has to go away on his trips to play throughout the world. These feelings about the human kind, about how unconscious some of us may be are expressed very well through his Renaissance Masters Series. On a subliminal level he tries to bring consciousness in our lives and to make us realize that life is beautiful, even though one must suffer to succeed on a different level. Although he goes away to do what he loves to do, he is sad for having to leave love behind. With his mixes he tells a story and like every story this can be interpreted. At some level I can find myself and my story in his music.
He recently released the new Masters Series Mix which contains two CD's entitled very suggestive: A Life Less Ordinary and Afterlife.

"i'll only be gone for a week, dmitry. you won't even miss me when i'm gone, i swear," anya rubbed her thumb over her boyfriend's clenching jaw.
"i always miss you, princess. it's gonna feel like a year without you with me." he couldn't meet her eye.
"look at me, dmitry." he lifts his eyes to meet hers reluctantly. "i'm just going to visit nonna in paris before she goes to america with lily and vlad. we can facetime every night, i swear," she promised, pulling him into her arms.
"i know, but it won't make the distance feel any smaller." he wraps his arms around her waist, holding on tight.
"i've left for longer periods of time before and you've survived. what's so different this time, huh?" she whispers into his hair.
"it's june 8th this week," is all he has to say.
anya breathes out a heavy sigh. "the anniversary of your father's death. i'm sorry, dima. i completely forgot. i can stay if you need me to? nonna will be back soon, anyway. i can visit her any time." she runs her hand through his hair.
"no, go be with your grandmother. like you said, i'll be fine here." he smiles and leans into anya's touch.
"if you're sure…" she sounds uncertain.
"go, anya. i promise, i'll be okay."
"fine, but i'm facetiming you literally every night, okay? i don't care what you're doing, or if i'm in the middle of talking to some rich business man trying weasel more money out of nonna. i'll drop everything," she smiles, connecting their foreheads.
"i love you, anya. so much," is his response as he holds her close.
"i love you, too. don't miss me too much, okay?"
"no promises, princess." he leaves her with one more kiss and a tight hug before they break apart and she gathers her luggage, turning towards security.
"wait, anya!
can I borrow your sweater? It smells like you." he calls before she's too far away. she spins around, giving him a puzzled look, glancing down at the faded yellow sweatshirt she has tied around her waist.
"i mean, i don't think it'll fit, and it's definitely not your color-"
"i just need a piece of you here with me," he smiles sadly. anya unties the sweatshirt and places it safely in his waiting arms.
"i'll miss you," she says.
"you too. see you in a week?" he asks.
"a week." she replies, turning back once more. dmitry watches her go until she's made it past the detectors and can no longer be seen.
lil fluffy, lil sad, lots of love for these two

In an effort to appease patrons, last night Mark selected Hidalgo, a "normal" movie. On a ten point scale i give it a 4.
I applaud Mark on selecting a movie i haven't seen, but wanted to. I think we all agreed that the movie was a typical action flick loaded with unlikely situations.[1] Michael and Matt couldn't stop themselves from constant heckling; some was justified; some was just annoying.
I try to extract the good parts of a movie.[2] On the good side the movie was about a person finding his identity.
Mark picked The Minus Man last night, a rather odd selection. It's a movie about a serial killer and his relationship to the world around him.
There was very little explanation about why he kills, but that's probably not the point of the movie. Understanding that, i really don't see the point of the movie. I mean (Mark) what does it say about his relation to the world?
There was one thing about the movie i did like. Every time Ferrin (Janeane Garofalo) appeared i was delighted. She's got a great smile.

Breaking news and expert analysis on legal and compliance issues
From Securities Regulation Daily, June 17, 2016
The Eleventh Circuit joined the Second, Seventh, and D.C. Circuits in holding that constitutional challenges to the validity of the SEC's administrative law judge regime must first be addressed by the Commission. This latest appellate win for the SEC is important for how the court navigated points of agreement and divergence with opinions in the other three circuits. The opinion upends a district judge's ruling that enjoined two of the SEC's in-house cases and orders both federal suits to be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Yet another similar case awaits decision by the Fourth Circuit (Hill v. SEC, consolidated with Gray Financial Group, Inc. v. SEC, June 17, 2016, Pryor, J.).
Fairly discernable. The unanimous Eleventh Circuit panel concluded that it was fairly discernable that Congress intended for disputes like those brought by Charles Hill and Gray Financial to be heard first by the Commission, although an aggrieved party can then petition a federal appeals court to review a Commission final order. That is the initial step in deciding whether a district court has jurisdiction to hear a matter that otherwise would proceed administratively.
The Eleventh Circuit said it agreed with the D.C. Circuit's Jarkesy opinion that the Mine Act provision at stake in the Supreme Court's Thunder Basin opinion had a similar scope and procedural bent as Exchange Act Section 25, which provides for court review of Commission orders. The court also found similarities between the Exchange Act and the law implicated in the Supreme Court's Elgin opinion, even if the securities law's text was less "painstaking" in its detail than the Elgin law.
Moreover, the court said a few jurisdictional exceptions sprinkled throughout the securities laws could not alter the result for Hill and Gray Financial. Nor could the Exchange Act's savings clause rescue these cases. Likewise, the court rejected Hill's argument that Congress should have used clearer language if it intended to bar district courts from hearing claims like his because the fairly discernable prong does not require "absolute clarity" by Congress.
Meaningful judicial review key. Having found Congressional intent to channel these cases through the agency apparatus fairly discernable and that the claims were of a type to be heard this way, the court mulled three factors the Supreme Court has said can salvage district court jurisdiction in some cases. But the Eleventh Circuit said this was not one of those instances because "without doubt" Hill and Gray Financial can later obtain meaningful judicial review.
The court led off its discussion by noting its agreement with the Second and Seventh Circuits that the meaningful judicial review factor is critical. Respondents in the several cases before federal district and appellate courts have argued vigorously that the Seventh Circuit, in particular, had improperly focused on this factor. But the Eleventh Circuit made a point of saying "we focus our inquiry there." (The D.C. Circuit said in Jarkesy that it prefers a more "holistic" approach than the one taken by the Seventh Circuit in Bebo; Circuit Judge Ripple of the Seventh Circuit sat by designation in the combined Hill/Gray Financial appeal, but he was not on the Bebo panel).
According to the Eleventh Circuit, the respondents' argument that they cannot avoid an injury without being heard in the district court fell flat because the Supreme Court in Standard Oil noted that defending one's self in a costly administrative proceeding is not an irreparable injury. Moreover, the risk of depravation is lessened because the Exchange Act gives a respondent two chances to stay a final Commission order and an appellate court can vacate an entire Commission order.
The court also said Hill's and Gray Financial's Mathews v. Eldridge argument was askew because their claimed injury did not rise to the same level as the injury the Supreme Court mulled in that case. Likewise, Gray Financial's worries about scant discovery options before the SEC were overblown because the appellate court can remand a matter to the Commission for more fact finding.
As for the "wholly collateral" and "agency expertise" factors, the court said they are "less conclusive" than the meaningful judicial review factor and "do not cut strongly either way." The court likened the Commission to the agency in Elgin, saying that although the Commission's expertise might not aid a decision of the constitutional claims, it could still use its expertise to decide that the substantive charges are meritless and, thus, skirt the constitutional claim.
But the court seemed most conflicted over whether Hill's and Gray Financial's claims were wholly collateral. The court agreed that Bebo surfaced the two ways in which the question can be viewed—compare the constitutional claims to administrative charges or look to the law's review provision (the comparison approach might favor Hill and Gray Financial). The Eleventh Circuit instead focused on the Exchange Act review provision.
Further, while the respondents may yet win their constitutional claims, that result would not necessarily bar liability because the SEC could bring a federal law suit to enforce the securities laws. Still, the court found the claims were not wholly collateral, at least where the respondents can obtain meaningful judicial review.
"Impending" enforcement. Since the Bebo decision last year, respondents who dispute the validity of the SEC's ALJs have routinely argued that other courts should not follow what they call argue was the Seventh Circuit's over-reliance on when a suit is filed—file before the order instituting proceedings (OIP) issues and get into court, but file after the OIP and the courthouse doors are closed. The Eleventh Circuit suggested that timing played no role in its decision.
Hill sued the SEC in federal district court five days after an ALJ rejected his constitutional argument. By contrast, Gray Financial filed its federal district court case prior to issuance of the SEC's OIP, but later amended its complaint to add the Article II claim after the SEC issued an OIP. Gray Financial had argued that the procedural stance of its district court case took it outside the Exchange Act's review provision. But the Eleventh Circuit, citing its own precedent (Doe v. FAA) said it had already rejected that view.
The court went on to note that Bebo, Jarkesy, and Tilton (of these three cases, Tilton was the only case to draw a dissenting opinion) are not necessarily tied to when those suits were filed. The court explained that Bebo was a case where the administrative proceeding was in progress and, unlike in Free Enterprise, the respondent did not have to "bet the farm" to get court review.
The Eleventh Circuit then said in a footnote that the same reasoning would hold for an "impending" enforcement matter and that the court was "confident"Jarkesy and Tilton would have been decided the same way if they had dealt with "forthcoming proceeding[s]." But the court disagreed with the D.C. Circuit's and the Second Circuit's implicit suggestion that federal district courts might have heard those cases if the SEC's enforcement actions were only impending ones.
The case is No. 15-12831.

Griffon ShutdownHandler sample
Here is a simple ShutdownHandler (available since 0.3.1) sample. For simplicity, I just made the main controller implement the new ShutdownHandler interface. All it does is to print a message during shutdown, but we can imagine that it could do much more clever things. The most interesting method is canShutdown. In this sample, it always returns true, so the application will normally shutdown. Depending on some conditions, we could make it return false, to prevent the application to shutdown.

Actress Shraddha Kapoor, who visited the Madhya Pradesh town of Chanderi while filming for the movie "Stree", says the vibe of the place was heart-warming as she felt that people in small towns don't run after materialistic things.
The film "Stree" revolves around a female ghost who exists in Chanderi town. To maintain the authenticity of the story, director Amar Kaushik took the cast and crew there.
On the experience, Shraddha told IANS: "I was so excited to go there in Chanderi, especially the fort area where I shot the film. Chanderi is a small town and the vibe of the place is so easy. Living in Mumbai, we are always running after deadlines and our life revolves around work."
"People there (in Chanderi) are really simple and not in hurry. They really have a life after work. Maybe people of small town are not so wealthy, neither do they have the high materialistic desire, but I think they really know how to find happiness from small things that we urban people do not even notice," she added with a smile.
In Chanderi, which is known for its saris, Shraddha went on a shopping spree.
"After our shooting got over, I went out for shopping and bought so many chanderi saris for my family members. I do not wear a lot of saris, but I bought some for myself as well. We all know how famous Chanderi saris are, and they are really beautiful," she said.
"Stree" also features Rajkummar Rao and Pankaj Tripathi. It is releasing on August 31.

PROVIDENCE, RI- Despite the Left's attempts to keep conservative bloggers and social media lovers out of their Netroots Nation host city, last night the Heritage Foundation and the Franklin Center held it's first-ever Breitbart Awards at the Providence Marriott in Rhode Island.
The awards, created as a way to honor the late Andrew Breitbart's lasting influence on conservative journalism, were given to three conservative writers who embodied traits Andrew would have appreciated.
Recipients were:
Professional Journalist: Philip Klein @philipaklein of The Washington Examiner (a sister publication to Red Alert Politics)
Blogger: Ace of Spades (@AceofSpadesHQ) at Ace of Spades HQ
Citizen Journalist: Andrew Marcus (@hatingbreitbart)
In a moving moment during the awards, Franklin Center Director of New Media Tabitha Hale read aloud a statement from Ace of Spades, who could not make the awards, announcing he did not feel he was worthy of the award and was instead giving it to Duane Lester of All American Blogger (@bodhi1), who graciously accepted.
Speakers included, Undefeated & Occupy Unmasked Director Steve Bannon, Breitbart.com's Dana Loesch and Tea Party activist Sonnie Johnson, all of whom told previously untold tales about Andrew's antics and encouraged conservative bloggers in the room not to stop fighting for what they believed in.
The awards were part of Heritage and Franklin Center's Future of Journalism Summit taking place Friday and Saturday at the Marriott.
Next weekend a larger group of online activists will meet in Las Vegas for Right Online, the conservative version of Netroots Nation. Follow the hashtag at #RO12 and follow Red Alert's @fran_chambers & @ameliahammy for live updates.

Homeowners know that there are times when refinancing could be really beneficial
But property owners aren't the only people who may want to refinance, especially now along with interest rates at an all-time lower. It can be a big help to industrial real estate owners too.
Another strategy uses the merchant cash advance is to level from the cash watch. A cash flow problem cause layoffs or worse – a complete closing of the business. Money problems can occur when sales drop nevertheless the same volume bills keep rolling about. It happens all the amount of time in business and is the cause of most employee layoffs. Anyone pay high office or building rent, utilities, therefore., a cash flow problem may lead to your in order to reduce inventory, which in turn hurts sales even more. With a reliable merchant cash advance, you'll get all bases covered if it is possible this situation arises.
Keep in mind when buying business real estate loans that these loans are structured in a different way than residential real estate financial loans
Buying a triplex is the same as purchasing a commercial property and it is not really eligible for a residential mortgage. So remember when looking for industrial property, know the facts upon business real estate loans financial loans before buying.
For example, you are able to specialize in anything from investment decision properties and commercial lending in order to bankruptcy discharges, foreclosure customers, and divorce-settlement financing. Get the lenders who will finance these types of loans, and most important, analysis thoroughly.
Figure out exactly what your photography strengths are usually. then cater to them. When you have a strong eye for taking photos of people. consider being a style or portrait photographer. This you're particularly skilled at photographing buildings, consider capturing commercial real estate loans, calculator. And so on.
As the sales/lease cycle extends beyond what exactly is normal, they start purchasing into the belief that this is exactly what happens in a down marketplace and believe slow customers are better than no customers after all their pipeline continues to be full, isn't it?
The commercial real estate is often provided little thought as a purchase focus by most people. This can be a mistake. It can be a huge cash maker. The key is to be familiar with types and how to do the trading. If you get that correct, you can position yourself to create a ton of money over time. The existing recession has been brutal, however, it has also created a ton associated with opportunities given the low costs. This presents you with the opportunity to buy a steal of the deal, so don't let this go by.

Based On A Political Philosophy That Is Stupid To The Core
Stupidity or deceit, that is the question. Are Republicans just stupid to think that corporations will consider what is best for the birds and animals of the Gulf of Mexico in their efforts to maximize their corporate profits, or is it just plain deceit. The political philosophy that the Republicans enunciate - less government is better government, is a lie. Whether people like George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and the rest of the idiots that embrace the political philosophy of the Republican Party realize the destruction they have caused as a result of their ideas that government should turn a blind eye to the behavior of corporate America whether on Wall Street or drilling for oil in the Gulf, has given us the problems that we all will suffer. Look at what has happened to the birds covered in oil and dying!!! This is a political philosophy the Republicans can be proud of?
It is my sincere hope that the images of pelicans covered in oil and dying will cause people to realize that the political philosophy of less government is better government is bankrupt. Now that the oil spill has continued to gush for over 40 days and has effectively destroyed waters, wetlands, beaches, commercial fishing and a whole way of life and livelihood for the people of the Gulf, perhaps decent people will remember this the next time they go to the polls and vote. Voting for less government is a vote for no governing and a vote for destruction of our lands and waters. How much more would it have cost us if the government had enforced safe drilling procedures in the first place? How much would it have cost BP if they would have treated their permit to drill with reverence for the waters, lands wildlife and people that call this part of America HOME?
If this oil spill does not awakened a majority of Americans to the inherent stupidity of the Republican Party's political philosophy, then there is not much hope that we as a people have the intelligence to see the difference between right and wrong. This massive oil spill was man made, just as the financial crisis on Wall Street was man made, and it is the result of a political philosophy that is stupid to the core. It is based on a political philosophy that is stupid to the core. It is based on a political philosophy that is stupid to the core.
Stay tuned.

Sarah Palin has been very quite ever since the oil spill....where is her oky-doky philosophy now?

They have all been very quiet Winslow. George Bush, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin and of course the idiots on Fox TV and the morons on talk radio.
The problem with the Dems is: they haven't any guts either. If I was on TV, like so many of the Dems are, I would rub their faces in the oil spill.
Now, just maybe, the people from the south and west that think small government is such a good idea, will realize what a lie this political philosophy is. Those that have skin in the game, need to understand that a government that does not hold corporate America's feet to the fire is no way to govern.
Those that love to fish and hunt need to realize that lies that have been told leads to the oil they now walk, swim, hunt and fish in!!!

Mr. Anil Gupta has been a business owner for over 20 years. Like most business owners, he has lived each day dreaming of making it big.
An year back, he attended a popular programme on 'Management by Goals' (MBO) and ended up creating a Vision, strategy sheet and ambitious goals for his organization. Mr Gupta quickly found out that when he presented his company's goals & targets to employees, they all listened attentively. But, the targets & goals were soon forgotten in day-to-day grind and fire-fights. Like many of his programme co-attendees, he found the inertia of day-to-day activities too strong to escape from.
When I met Mr. Gupta a few weeks back, I could sense that he had lost faith that his company could adopt 'Management by Goals' philosophy. While he was telling me his experience, I could see the strategy sheet behind his chair – a bit faded, gathering dust and showing a six month old update date.
Mr. Gupta is not alone. Several family-owned businesses like Mr Gupta's, many have tried Goal setting, MBO or other Performance Management methodologies and given up. Having seen the struggles with achieving goals across many businesses, I am able to list 3 common mistakes.
1. Setting 'extra' ambitious goals
The common feeling amongst many business owners is that goals should always be ambitious and employees need to make extra efforts.
Nothing wrong in this thought, but setting extra ambitious goals in the first few cycles overwhelm most employees especially those who are not aware of Performance Management methodologies. These employees give up on the goals as soon as they get the first excuse to do so.
2. Setting too many goals & setting them across unrelated areas
This is best summarized by the quote – "Try to do everything and you end up doing nothing."
The whole purpose of goals is to bring an element of focus in the work. Setting too many goals dilutes this purpose. My experience shows that 3 goals per entity (person, department etc.) works best.
To obtain further clarity in goal areas, I advise our clients to divide goals in 3 categories: Business goals, Departmental goals and Project goals. Business goals should improve company's top line, Departmental goals should tackle internal departmental inefficiencies and Project goals should address specific bottlenecks in the company.
3. Not Creating a realistic Action Plan
This is by-far the most common mistake.
Unless goals are backed by a well-defined plan, the employees don't own their goals or remain unsure of their ability to hit the goals. I have observed a strong correlation between existence of a defined plan and the success in hitting goals.
It is therefore not surprising that the businesses who have internalized goal-driven culture have their owners/managers regularly spend time to help other employees create realistic action plans and then follow up on progress.
It is worth mentioning here that setting goals using the SMART technique makes creating action plans & follow-up schedules much easier (SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Reviewable & Time bound)
Now that I have told you the common mistakes, it's time for me to tell you about the main ingredient to consistently achieve set goals. It's the person's outlook – the outlook to treat achieving goals like a good habit.
It has been proven that you have a better chance of acquiring a habit, by starting small & then ensuring consistent efforts until the habit is ingrained. Adopting a goal driven culture in your organization is a just like that. You have a better chance of success by starting with a few goals, giving people time to adapt to the process and then gradually spreading it to all areas and activities of the organization.
So, in conclusion, starting small and keeping goals simple & few for the first couple of times is the key to not faltering. Once your employees are acclimatized to the process and have tasted the high of achieving their goals, your business is truly ready for setting and achieving ambitious goals.
What has been your experience with introducing goal-oriented culture in your organization? What practices have contributed to the success? I am interested in hearing your opinion. Please write to me using this link.
My next article: Setting goals for companies whose business model is evolving or changing fast. Stay tuned.
Note 1:
The article, 'Why many family-owned businesses falter after setting goals', is written based on my professional experience at Pinnacle and other companies.
Pinnacle specializes in working with the management of family-owned companies to craft & implement People Management Strategies to accomplish their business vision & goals.

We're still editing and processing issues that came out of last weekend's DCI winter meetings. Ron Hardin, the Santa Clara Vanguard's visual caption head, proposed the front sideline rule, which passed unanimously. Read the front sideline rules proposal. We asked him why he proposed the rule.
"The proposal for the extension of the front boundary came after many years of dealing with on-field logistics and proximity problems. It seems that every year, we break out the tape measurers and try to condense wheels and stack things almost on top of each other, simply to fit within the 10 feet," Hardin said. "What inevitably happens is that pit equipment spills onto the field. Anyone who then brings the color guard to the front for an equipment transition has to back them up another few feet. This chain reaction forces designers to write the brass and percussion about six steps behind the front sideline, simply for clarity," Hardin said. "So, this proposal was written, really, to give an opportunity to bring the brass and percussion sections closer to the audience. Also, we will hopefully see cleaner transitions, and a little more breathing room between stationary pit equipment and marching performers," Hardin said. Next on DCI.org, George Hopkins will explain (in a video interview) the sound board location rule. This will be featured sometime in the next couple days.

Last day of uni and after 5 years in art education I have come to the conclusion that I'd love to write either a child's book or a childishly adult book, so I will begin by character building. My degree show exhibition 'Human Pollution' (although quite explicit in context) made me realise that I just can't step away from the child inside me.
Some of the characters I design will probably still fluctuate between the adult/child criteria but these can be redeveloped at a later stage, these characters may also be potential sculptures.
First Steps….. lots of doodling, drawing, writing, storyboards, plots and to actually learn the art of illustration.
I've said it now so I best get started !!!!
Found some really useful websites below.
