Pilot PositionersWhat is the proper procedure for calibrating a Pilot Positioner for a Pneumatic Control Valve?
BillW February 15, 2013 @ 8:44 PM

Positive PositionersPositive positioners are found on certain pneumatic valve and damper actuators. They compensate for pressure changes in the controlled medium (water or air), allow you to fine tune the system, eliminate the need for different spring ratings, and allow for sequencing. They are usually grey and black in color, have a dial on the top, and are found on Honeywell MP953E direct acting and MP953F reverse acting valve actuators and on MP918 damper actuators.
To calibrate, you need to know what the start point value was on the job drawings. Use a 5/64 allen wrench to unlock the startpoint knob screw. Each "click" adjusts the startpoint by 1/4 psi. Tighten the screw back down to lock.
Install 0-30 pressure gauges in pilot and main air lines. Slowly apply pilot pressure, and note at what pressure the valve stem begins to move. This pressure should be within +/- 3/4 psi of the start point setting on the drawings. Increase the pilot pressure until the valve stem travel is complete, and note that this pressure should be within +/-3/4 psi of the start point pressure plus the range setting (3,5 or 10 psi). This is determined by the feedback spring in the actuator.
Air connections are "P", piped to the "B" port on the controller (TP Series thermostat or RP920 receiver/controller), "M" for main air, and "B" to the actuator. Unless someone has really played with the positioner, there isn't a lot of need to change the settings. As far as I know, parts are still available from commercial distributors.

PilotsThank you Bill W. We have (2) Siemens control valves for our B&G heat exchangers (Steam to water Heat exchangers), one valve is a 1/3rd and the other is a 2/3rd valve (that's how it is labeled on our BMS) I blew a diaphragm on the 2/3rd steam valve actuator, replaced the diaphragm then noticed that both of the valves are all over the map (hunting up and down, but maintaining set point) thinking it might be a Siemens programming issue, but wanted to double check the Pilot positioners as well. Im on vaca next week and will take another look at the valves when i get back

steam/hot water HXThose valve actuators are probably reverse acting (air-to-open), since if the air supply fails, or some other control issue occurs, the valves will spring-return closed, cutting off the steam and preventing overheating. The positioners work the same way, but the calibration methods may be different from the Honeywell units I mentioned.

PositionersWith Siemens positioners the span and startpoint are both adjustable.
In your case doing 1/3, 2/3 normally closed valve sequencing you would set them up as follows.
The smaller 1/3 valve is designed to open first and do most of the work most of the time. You would typically choose a span of 5 psi and a start point of 3 psi. The larger valve is set with a 5 psi span and 8 psi start point.
With no call for heat, both valves would receive a 0 psi signal and be closed. As demand increases and the pilot signal increases to 3psi the smaller valve will start to modulate open. With a 5 psi span, the small valve will be fully open at 8 psi (3 psi start point + 5 psi span = 8psi) while the larger 2/3 valve is still closed. As demand increases, the small valve will remain fully open and as the signal rises above 8 psi the large valve will start to open. The large valve will be completely open at 13 psi (8psi start point + 5 psi span = 13psi).
Follow the installation instructions and markings on the positioner to determine the the placement of the feedback spring to achieve these settings. If the valves are sized correctly you should achieve excellent control and maintain setpoint without any quick hunting from either valve.
Heat exchangers use normally closed valves but if the application had normally open valves, the small 1/3 would be set 8-13 and the large 2/3, 3-8 psi.
With Honeywell MP953 you must determine the span ( 3, 5 or 10 psi)before purchasing the actuator as the span is preset and non adjustable, only the start point is.

I found this series yesterday evening on Netflix and decided to watch the first episode. I got hooked and just finished watching the entire series in under 24 hours. (I am recovering from a very minor surgery)
I really enjoyed Mr. Fry's exploration of America. It is nice to see my country through the eyes of a good-natured outsider. I thought he did a very good job of showing the parts of America that are seldom shown on TV or in the movies. I grew up in Kentucky and I currently live in California. Watching Mr. Fry drive his cab across the country made me nostalgic for a good, long road-trip back East.
All I can say is, well-done Mr. Fry. I am going to buy your book as soon as I can. Thank you for this series.

P.S. I have only been to 49 of the States. I am planning to make it 50 in a few weeks! Hawaii here I come though I seriously doubt I will be diving with sharks.

3 Stocks Reiterated As A Buy: COP, INTC, F
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 3.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 8.8%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 26.71% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, COP should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $6,336.00 million or 33.95% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of 17.46%.
- CONOCOPHILLIPS's earnings per share improvement from the most recent quarter was slightly positive. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, CONOCOPHILLIPS increased its bottom line by earning $6.43 versus $5.90 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($6.45 versus $6.43).

The Flags at the Cemetery
- Thursday, May 24, 2012
Like many Americans, Memorial Day never ceases to move me. Rivaled only by Christmas and Easter, it's the most poignant time of the year for me, maybe because, like Christmas and Easter, it's about life, death, and remembrance.
This Memorial Day, several images stick with me:
Recently, I was sitting at the waiting room at the nearby hospital, alternately reading something and checking email on my BlackBerry, consumed by my own little modern, technological world. Over to my left, I heard an elderly gentleman saying to another elderly gentleman, "Yes, I got there in 1943, ready to deploy to Italy..."
I looked over at the two of them. They were chatting amicably, calmly, quietly, un-ostentatiously. When the one finished a thought about the Italian campaign, the other picked up with his story about boarding a plane for Europe nearly 70 years ago.
The two men sat a few feet apart, two chairs between them. I was struck by how similar they looked. Each was probably late 80s, about 5'9", 160 pounds, apparent good shape, minds sharp as tacks, wearing trousers on a very hot day, baseball caps, legs crossed, arms bent atop the back of a chair. They looked like farmers, and probably were farmers in their youth before they headed off to World War II. They were mirror images physically, could be mistaken for brothers, but their resemblance was more than that: each possessed a sort of serenity, a peace. You had the sense that if the doctor told them they had just weeks to live, they'd shrug their shoulders and say, "Well, that's a tough break, Doc. But I can't complain."
When the one man was fetched by an attractive young nurse, he got up, smiled, and said to her, "Nice day outside, eh?"
Both had the comportment of the gentleman American farmer, the guys who, when called to duty, did their duty — a long time ago.
Like many of you reading this article, I've encountered these men frequently in my life, but increasingly less so. I'm in my mid-40s. I came across them much more often 20 years ago.
I recall another such instance in the early 1990s. I pulled off I-95 in rural Virginia, early in the morning. It was only my fiancée and I — before all the kids we have now. We stopped at a McDonald's. Sitting there was a group of old men. They were talking about "The Big One," about "W-W-Two." One was describing what it was like at the Battle of the Bulge, as the others listened intently.
I wonder about those men at that McDonald's in Virginia. Are they still alive? Perhaps half of them are, at best.
I'm struggling here to provide a picture of what I regrettably know is a dying breed, a special American that my kids will not encounter in their mid-40s. What a loss that will be. These WWII vets are the essence of Americana. Norman Rockwell would have painted them for the Saturday Evening Post. And they are nearing extinction. Two decades from now, a handful will be left, and they won't be shooting the breeze in the hospital waiting room or local McDonald's.

The Mint Blog
Introducing BaconPosted in News by Andy Bell on 19 January 2012
Bacon is a conference about all the stuff that developers love (for instance bacon, but also functional programming, machine learning, Android development, memes, databases, astronomy, HTML5, electronic music, etc.) It aims to support the emergence of Silicon Roundabout as a technology hub, reflecting the energy and diversity of London's web scene.
It's slightly inspired by Strange Loop - one of the best conferences we've been to - but with less emphasis on academic research and more on coding from the trenches. Confirmed speakers include Zach Holman of GitHub and Sean Treadway of SoundCloud. The call for proposals is still open. If you've got something you'd like to say, visit the Bacon site.
Oh and it's on April 20th and 21st 2012, if you'd like to come. Tickets are from £265.
Hope to see you there.
New Year RevolutionPosted in News by Utku Can on 11 January 2012
Hello and happy new year from Mint!
On January 1st, we launched New Year Revolution for Channel 4.
The starting point for New Year Revolution was the observation that most of us make new year's resolutions, but few of us keep them. The ambition is that by harnessing faces of Channel 4 and the collective willpower of the social web, we might help people keep the resolutions, and have some fun along the way.
In the first five days alone, we had over 20,000 join the revolution, and it is still gathering pace.
We're hiring designersPosted in News by Utku Can on 30 November 2011
Update: The interaction designer position has now been filled. We are still looking for our visual designer!
We are looking to grow the Mint Studio by adding two new designers to the team.
We think designing here at Mint has to be one of the most exciting jobs around. Just in the last year, we launched Speedo Pace Club, the very magnetic Stickygram, "the award-winning"* Sexperience 1000, ran 2Screen 2011, launched Olly, the list continues...
If you want to join this small team making big things, head over to jobs, take a look at the visual and interaction designer positions and drop us a line.
We look forward to talking.
* I always wanted to say that.
We won a BIMA!Posted in News by Utku Can on 11 November 2011
Last night we were at The BIMA Awards 2011, where The Sexperience 1000 picked up the award for 'Best use of Data, Mashups & Data-Visualisation'. We were also delighted to be nominated for the 2011 Grand Prix award!
Thanks go to all the Mints who worked on it, our tech partners for the project LingoBee, Ipsos MORI, Endemol and of course, Adam Gee and all at Channel 4 for allowing us to keep making great work.
A London Mint in New York - PocketmintsPosted in Reflections by Sandeep Gill on 31 October 2011
I'd heard a lot about the mysterious and ever-growing Pocketmints meetups from across the pond. There had been six to date, they'd apparently been going from strength to strength and there was always a copious amount of food. So when I realised that my trip to New York would overlap with the seventh Pocketmints meetup I had many questions. Who would the speaker be? What would it be like? How much food is meant by 'copious'?

It is, we've used it in our 10-mans for quite a long time, but we were all fairly close (as online people go) and therefore trust wasn't an issue. In matters of 25 people with whom there's a varying degree of how much trust you put into them, such a system may or may not work.
In general, I think loot systems were created less so for the practicality of having a formal looting method, but more so to have a "better" system than one wherein a single "Jerk" can ruin the fun for everyone.
I've run lots of different systems - DKP, Dual Token, Ni Karma, and Loot Council - and each have worked to various degrees; it's more so a matter of the type of guild that you are in and the players which you raid with.
To some players, Speed Before Greed is a legit loot system. :\ (For those that do not know, Speed Before Greed isn't really a loot system; the basics of it are that you leave looting on FFA and whomever loots the boss first gets the items. Needless to say, it isn't very popular)

[video] Jim Cramer Quick Take: Twitter Trends
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- TheStreet's Jim Cramer and Debra Borchardt help investors by answering questions from his Twitter feed.
When asked for his thoughts on Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM), Cramer said he is not a fan of the stock.
Although it used to be his favorite gold stock because of the company's five-year plan, Cramer said it has missed far too many earnings estimates to be considered legitimate anymore.
Despite the insider buying, he advised investors looking for gold exposure to do so via the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD).Switching to the use of margin, or leveraged investing, Cramer called it the "devil's work." He added that when negative events drive down stock prices, it will cause many margin investors to sell near the lows. Finally, he said JPMorgan (JPM) is trading at a big discount to its peers, even though it's the best bank in the industry. Now that the bank's legal troubles have been settled, the firm can get back to business. That should allow the earnings multiple to expand, driving the stock price higher, Cramer concluded. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

Stanley Adams (April 7, 1915 – April 27, 1977) was an American actor and screenwriter.
Born in New York City, Adams had his first film role in 1952, when he played the bartender in the movie version of Death of a Salesman. He played another conniving barkeep in The Gene Krupa Story.
He is well known for playing Cyrano Jones in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" which aired in 1967. During the following season he co-wrote the Star Trek episode "The Mark of Gideon". He appeared at a number of Star Trek conventions in the 1970s and reprised (as a voice actor) his role of Cyrano Jones in the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "More Tribbles, More Troubles". Archive footage of Adams was used in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations".
Adams played Otis Campbell's brother on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show; the character berated Otis for being the town drunk but turned out to be an alcoholic himself.
His other roles on TV shows include a time travelling scientist—opposite Buster Keaton—and a bartender on The Twilight Zone, King Kaliwani in the finale episode of Gilligan's Island and "Tybo" the carrot leader of the vegetable rebellion on Lost In Space. He appeared in two episodes of the second season of the 1960s television show Batman ("Catwoman Goes to College"/"Batman Displays his Knowledge") as "Captain Courageous". He appeared as political boss Frank Templeton in the final episode of McHale's Navy (1962-1966) entitled "Wally for Congress." He also played Bernie the foulmouthed caller in the 1974 action/adventure movie Act of Vengeance and the Chicano cafe owner in Lilies of the Field. He played Rusty Trawler, "the 9th richest man in America under 50" in the Audrey Hepburn film Breakfast at Tiffany's. He played a realtor on The Dick Van Dyke Show episode "Your Home Sweet Home Is My Home Sweet Home". He also played notorious pool shark "Sure Shot" Wilson on The Odd Couple. Stanley also played a role as bartender on the series Marshall Dillion.
He died in 1977 as the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the age of 62.[1]

Every year -- and sometimes twice a year -- Rocky Votolato loads up his car (or van if he decides to bring a band) and heads out on a tour that sweeps through the West Coast. He spends most of the year on the road and I feel lucky to live in a city to which he repeatedly returns. There is no touring musician that I've seen more than Rocky, and his records have been consistently great. His latest, Television of Saints, is his first self-released album since parting with Barsuk Records, and was completely fan-funded. As such, Television of Saints feels like there's just that much more heart, soul and passion in the recording. If you've seen him live, I know you'll be at his show on Monday night. If you haven't, now is your chance to meet your next favorite musician.

This is a very good book. It's about a girl who is turning eleven and that whole new year she's turning shows her how much things can change in just one year. She starts to see her friends drifting further and further away from her and she starts to make new friends with people she would never even dream of being friends with. She has to deal with her best friend Amanda finding new friends too and sometimes leaving her behind. Her family is even starting to change. I think this is a good book about friendships and families and a regular life of growing up. It's by the same author of TTYL, Lauren Myracle.

Chaz Bono has triggered predictable controversy after signing on to do "Dancing with the Stars" -- just as producers hoped. So what will be the fallout? We gotta ask ...
Sorry but we will no longer watch DWTS. They have stepped beyond the bounderies on this one. I'm sorry for the dancers as this use to be a good show to watch.
One question you missed. Will Chaz and/or Nancy Grace make me more or less likely to watch? This season's crop of losers and unappealing people will give me more free time in the fall. I can't stand watching either one of these two. It will be like the Chloris Leachman season for me. I just won't be bothered.
Good thing that DWTS stepped up their game and got "real" stars. What is Chaz a star o****ain?
Lekilli.....quit making this about minorities and "open your heart Crap !
Somep People are just don't want to see Chaz used and exploited .
You open your mind !
Make it a trifecta - have Harvey dance also!
If Chaz were convicted and sentenced for a crime would she/he go to a male or female prison. Just wondering.
Why the hell is Nancy Grace more offensvie than Chaz? All Nancy does is take up for murdered kids! Bunch of dumb people in this world
I'm for him doing his thing, but lets be honest. To lift a grown woman in the air while dancing requires great upper body strength. Sure female cheerleaders do it all the time but they are in top physical condition. His torso and arms just look fat to me. Unless the doctors were also able to inject some muscles, he probably still has the strength of a fat woman. I wish him well and hope the extra testosterone helps out.
I have always considered reality tv to be nothing but garbage and Dancing With The Stars is exhibit A.
Chaz wants "adda****tome" surgery
Just shove this idiot she/he into a f'g barrel... a BIG barrel and toss it of the end of Niagara Falls.
It looks like jabba the hut, can't wait to see it dance? LOL
Let me just say, if they are making laws in California that it is mandatory for LGBT history to be taught in schools and people want Bert and Ernie to be gay and get married, then what is the problem with Chaz Bono being on dancing with the stars. People are going to be intolerant or tolerant. They are going to leave the tv on or they are going to turn it off. There will always be controversy regarding these matters. It's just one ****-hole after another. I for one will try my hardest to teach my children about these issues myself. I don't want people forcing this down their throats and I don't want a pro-gay agenda behind it. My kids will be taught to be open-minded and to make their own choices and opinions. So let him dance with a woman. next thing you know, men will be dancing with men and woman with women. There isn't anybody in this cast this season for me to even turn the channel
If ABC is guilty of cheap pandering they are encroaching on TMZ and Harvey Levin's territory. Harvey Levin is the King of Cheap pander-ers.
Once again, how does Chastity's life effect others on here? Somehow, if people are truly losing sleep over another persons decision on how to live their life then they themselves have mental issues. Not the other person. Atleast with Chastity, SHE is about as much of a celebrity as Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag, Rob, Kardashian, Karson Kressley, Nancy Grace, Kristin Cavallari, and Kate Gosselin. Anyone that you have that is nothing more than a "Reality TV Show" star is not a celebrity. If your not a person that has either been in movies, sports, true television shows...your not a celebrity. Your a reality star and nothing more.

What does it mean to be human?
As a College professor, I start the first day of every class by asking my students this question. Needless to say, they do not know how to answer it, even though they have previously had psychology and philosophy courses prior to the Junior/Senior classes that I typically teach.
So, if students do not know how to answer this question right away, then my next question is, do the rest of us know how to answer this question right away or would it require some reflection?
Or, does anyone really care?
I am sure that it has different meaning for different people but would it also have different meanings for different cultures?
Does being human mean some different in Christianity than it does for Muslims or people of the Jewish faith or agnostics for that matter?
Do we need to prove that we exist in order to answer this question? And, while you are pondering this one, let me explain: I am talking about "I think therefore I am," but is this life "real" or is this life a metaphor for the life that we will all be experiencing after death? If this life therefore is not real, does it matter that we exist and furthermore, does being human have any meaning at all?
Are we human because we oftentimes do not practice what we preach?
Are we human because we can skillfully put down the thoughts and comments of others?
Are we human because we are arrogant or wealthy although I see the two as mutually exclusive myself?
Are we human because we have faith and hypocritically live out that faith in our daily lives?
Are we human because we are a racist and have found clever ways to hide why we feel that way?
Are we human because we have cheated on our spouses?
Are we human because we like to engage in wars all over the globe so that we can prove we are better than others, or stronger... while really wanting to impose our way of life on them?
Are we human because we cannot accept cultural diversity as the new norm?
What are your thoughts as to what it means to be human?

John MaurenJun 26 2013: In response to:
Alex Hutchins
"2 hours ago: Theory of the mind is also interesting but do we control our minds and the mind's perception of what we see or do not see? And, is controlling perception an illusion in and of itself? And, if it is, how is that a description of what it means to be human?"
I'd imagine that perception is controlled by stimuli, and physiology and no... it's not an illusion. It can also be controlled by self, for monks can raise their body temperatures by the power of thought and imaging alone. We can stimulate our Anterior Cingulate Cortex with meditation alone, reducing anxiety. The power of mind is of our own, and when this potential is realized and acted upon it can have amazing results.
We feel something that is hot, well... it is hot in relation to what best suits our needs. Too hot, too cold, whatever... but we can measure the truth in this instance. This is no illusion.
I wouldn't suggest that at any given moment we are actively 'controlling' our minds directly to allow the inclusion or exclusion of any particular perceivable form. Sure, there's a whole list of defense mechanisms, such as repression and such... but, we can combat such things with cognitive therapies.
We could go as far to say that "it's all an illusion" for we all participate in:
"my art hurdles over the clouds in dark purple
red mixes yellow and blue in sharp circles
paint splashes over your conscious like canvas
molecules rule unseen by deep glances"
We've evolved to perceive stimuli, sure... it's all an illusion, but it's the image 'we' paint. It is possible to change the brush stroke, but we hold two brushes, in both the left and right hands, not always mindful or in control of both. That's being human, we're co-creators, we can even create God from Gods from stars and the wind, which is the ultimate illusion that the ToM has allowed for us to create, under our own control. That's what it means to be human, apparently.
Jun 27 2013: Why? :3
Sorry, but seriously, give me some arguments, so we can get a proper discussion.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
personally I'm fascinated with Nozdormu and and the whole paradox of him assisting in his own future death - which then leads to him losing his powers - which would preclude him going mad and turning into Murozond.
So if he turned into Murozond in order to prevent his own death (as one theory goes) he then managed to prevent his own foreseen death by putting his duty and the good of Azeroth before his own survival and bringing it about.
I've been looking for more info on him - but there don't seem to be a lot of specifics to be had. - I liked the look we got at his personality and conflicts in the blizz leader short story - and am hoping that at some point we will get more info on him.

Before kickoff, an airplane circled the stadium with a banner calling for Cassel to be benched and for general manager Scott Pioli to be fired.
Fans cheered when Cassel got hurt, seemingly overjoyed to see backup quarterback Brady Quinn enter the game.
"That's not cool," Ngata said. "He's your quarterback. For them to cheer for him being hurt, that's just not cool."
After the game, Cassel was visibly upset.
"It was sad to see the fans cheer for somebody getting hurt," Kemoeatu said. "It's a horrible situaiton. I hope he's fine."
Chiefs offensive tackle Eric Winston went on a rant after the game where he criticized the fans for taking joy in Cassel's pain.
"We are athletes, we are not gladiators," Winston told Kansas City reporters. "This isn't the Roman Colisseum. People pay their hard-earned money to come in here. I believe they can boo, they can cheer, they can do whatever they want. But when you cheer somebody getting knocked out, I don't care who it is, and it just so happened to be Matt Cassel, it's sickening. It's 100 percent sickening. I've been in some rough times on some rough teams. I've never been so embarrassed in my life to play football than at that moment right there."
"Matt Cassel hasn't done anything to you people, hasn't done anything to the media writers who kill him, hasn't done anything wrong to the people that come out here and cheer him. If he's not the best quarterback, he's not the best quarterback, and that's OK. But he's a person. And he got knocked out in a game, and we got 70,000 people cheering If you're one of those people who were out there cheering, or even smiled, when he got knocked out, I just want everyone to know it's sickening and disgusting."
Cassel completed only 9 of 15 passes for 92 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions for a 38.1 quarterback rating.
The Chiefs' coaches showed little faith in him, even running the football in third-and-long situations.
"None, it was surprising becuase he's a very capable quarterback," cornerback Cary Williams said. "I don't know if he lost confidence in himself. He's under a lot of scrutiny from fans and media as well. It's not our job to worry about that. It's not our problem."
Tucker on the money
Tucker provided every point the Ravens scored Sunday, connecting on field goals from 28, 26 and 39 yards.
It was exactly what the Ravens required from the rookie kicker.
"It's good to come through when my team needs me," Tucker said. "Give credit to our defense and our offense also for just getting the job done in the fourth quarter when it matters the most. It doesn't have to be pretty but the result is what we're all looking for."
Tucker's last field goal came at the close of the third quarter to boost the Ravens' lead to 9-3.
"We took the clock down a little bit and where it may have looked like we rushed it, we had a plan," Tucker said. "The kick was good and we got the win. Everything was copacetic ."
Blocking struggles
It was an extremely rough day for offensive tackles Michael Oher and Kelechi Osemele.

PARIS (AP) — A founding member of one of the main Syrian opposition groups explained her resignation, saying the political exiles trying to drum up support have hurt their own cause with their internal divisions.
Bassma Kodmani, the Paris-based Syrian National Council spokeswoman, said Wednesday she left the job in order to coordinate better with the rebel forces inside Syria and help in the humanitarian aid effort.
Kodmani wouldn't elaborate on the internal divisions, but said she hoped the opposition groups would make a united appeal for aid. Little tangible has come from Europe or the U.S., despite public support for President Bashar Assad's ouster, because many Western officials don't want to get tangled in an opposition power struggle.

The views in these blogs are those held by the individual blogger and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton Football Club.
About the authorView articles
You may have noticed my absense in recent weeks. Well, it's great to be back and it's quite incredible that even when your team is struggling you can't wait to return.
Having missed my first Everton match for a good few seasons due to a commitment in the United States I'm more than looking forward to the visit of Manchester United to Goodison on Saturday.
And thank goodness I don't reside in the USA! How can they get excited over what they call football, along with their version of a game of rounders? On top of that it's a little more difficult to access Premier League football, by no means impossible but you certainly need to know the right bars.
So, it's great to return to blighty, even if it is on the back of defeat at Arsenal.
I didn't manage to catch the full 90 minutes but based on all subsequent reports and highlights, it appears it was certainly a game of two halves. Unfortunately a performance for 45 minutes again on Saturday will probably yield the same result.
Top teams are able to turn it on when necessary and we'll need to be at our very best to claim our first home win of the season.
We all know we need a major victory to boost confidence and defeating Manchester United would definately achieve that. It's not that simple of course but not impossible! It's eleven against eleven on the day and I'm going to remain optimistic (probably based on my enforced absence last week and my desire for real football again).
Team wise I expect the boss will go for his favoured option of 4-5-1. Many feel we should be playing two up front at home, but there are occasions when needs must and meeting a team that can break as swiftly and positively as United is one of those.
We've conceded far too many goals already so it's a game where we must somehow keep it tight for as long as possible, stay in the game and hope that we can nick something ourselves.
I think I'll happily settle for a draw on Saturday and then our season really does need to get up and running at Bolton on Wednesday. That would tee us up nicely for the visit of Fulham next weekend.
We should be taking all the points from those two games and then we'll hold a respectable mid-table position and put aside all this silly talk of being sucked into a relegation scrap. Simply, we won't.
We are too good for that and there are still a number of teams in this Premier League who are not!

Publication: The Day
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy speaks out about the need to stop the gun violence, but by his own hand he has endangered the lives of all Connecticut citizens by not adhering to state law that requires a predetermined amount of state police officers. Now after this tragedy in Newtown, he is going to go after the law-abiding gun owners, and future gun owners, by adding more government on our already over-governed and over-taxed lives. I feel that I should not be punished, over taxed or denied an item because a person or persons broke the law.
This state has plenty of laws for the police and the politicians to use. The knee-jerk reaction after an event is never the right way to fix things. How about the legislature fix the problems the state already has before addressing new ones?
Criminals don't care about the words you use in front of the camera.
What do you think of Obama's $500 million initiative to curb gun violence?

Hoping to recapture the magic that (apparently) is The Devil Wears Prada, The Weinstein Company has hired that film's writer and director -- Aline Brosh and David Frankel, respectively -- to bring Allison Pearson's debut novel I Don't Know How She Does It to the big screen. The novel, according to at least one review at Amazon, is "a rare and beautiful hybrid: A devastatingly funny novel that's also a compelling fictional world." So, really, what's not to love? It tells the story of Allison Pearson, a British businesswoman and mother who struggles to balance her professional life with parenthood -- but in a totally hilarious way. In its review, Publisher's Weekly noted the book's similarities to Bridget Jones's Diary (sigh), but went on to describe Pearson as "notably brighter, wittier and capable of infinitely deeper shadings of feeling than the flighty Bridget," which makes it sounds like the movie could be about more than losing weight and finding a man. Hooray for that.
The film will be produced by Sydney Pollack and Anthony Minghella; there's no word yet on when TWC hopes to have it in production.

Leaning back against the door that was his TARDIS, Scott breathed out a cloud of smoke; letting the fresh cold London air bite against his skin. It was a chilly morning, but dressed as he was in a dress shirt half undone with his vest over it, the Time Lord barely…
Hours passed. Even with his palpitations - they rarely happened but when they did it lasted forever… - he'd managed to eat and go out, to move about; a cigarette always in hand; the medicine probably the only reason he was able to move about. But then night had fallen, and he lent back where he was that morning, finishing one last cig before he went back to the stars.
He fell asleep. Of course. That's what vampires do during the day. When it was night again and he opened his windows this smell was still there. Good. Timelord blood. Nothing was better.
After only a few moments he was down on the street.
"Ah, bonsoir mon ami." He smiled. "You certainly came a very long way."

It looks amazing but I'm wondering if one (or several) of you could give me a run through of what it has to offer. It seems that most of what it can do, I can do from my Xbox. Nothing against AppleTV but I don't want to drop $100 on something I essentially already had. I do use NetFlix a lot and I might possibly renew my NHL GameCenter if I got it. Thanks in advance!

Induction Motor Query
|Share this thread:
Mar13-14, 11:58 AM
Hi, I am currently simulating a 3 phase induction motor system. One of the tests that I have run is to keep the motor parameters (reactance, resistance etc.) constant, and then change the frequency of the supply (50, 40, 30 Hz etc.) before measuring input parameters (current and power drawn from supply), along with output parameters such as torque and rotational speed. Throughout, I have kept the value of the voltage supply constant. Having completed the tests, I have found that when the frequency is dropped from 50 to 40, and from 40 to 30 Hz, both the current and power drawn from the supply decrease. However, when dropping the frequency below 30Hz, I have found that the current drawn from the supply increases again, yet the power (watts) continues to decrease with a constant voltage. I dont quite understand how this is possible, would it be the result of a really poor power factor at low frequency as the motor begins to stall and inductive parameters become more influential on the system?

It's properties of inductors allright.
You need to try this for real with a small transformer and Variac adjustable transformer.
Remember that flux is integral of voltage
as you lower frequency with voltage held constant,
the period of each half cycle grows longer,
which means the integration has a longer interval,
which gives it a larger result, it is after all a definite integral;
which means flux will reach a level that's unsustainable in iron;
which means magnetizing current will go up to force the extra flux that the iron can't accept out through the air ;
which makes the motor hum and vibrate and get hot;
and your simulation will not emit the sounds and smoke that a real motor would.
That's why you need to take a small transformer, ammeter, and adjustable voltage source
and drive the little transformer into saturation while you watch current increase sharply at saturation point,
hear it hum and feel it vibrate and get hot, maybe even smell the hot insulation.
Look up term "Volts per Hertz" for a better explanation.
I encourage that experiment with real parts. It'll make your mind intuitively aware of what the math is telling you.
I appreciate the power of simulation, but it's a poor substitute for the visceral reality of a proper electric machinery lab.

U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor stopped in Boise tonight to raise funds for Idaho GOP Rep. Raul Labrador's re-election campaign and urge Idahoans to send the freshman back to Washington for another term. "I believe in Raul," Cantor declared. "He has come in and joined this freshman class and has proven himself an independent thinker."
He also lauded Labrador's work on an immigration visa bill, the STEM jobs bill, which failed in the House last month. "He took the lead on that," Cantor said. "There's Marco Rubio in the Senate and there's Raul Labrador in the House."
Just moments later, after Cantor said he was "looking forward to a very productive lame-duck session" in Congress after the election - including action on the delayed farm bill and on debt reduction, entitlement reform and military funding - a reporter pointed out that the night before, Labrador said during a debate that he believes there should be no votes during a lame-duck session. Labrador, while debating Democratic challenger Jimmy Farris on KTVB-TV last night, said a lame-duck session that follows the election isn't the place for big decisions, when a new president could be coming in and members of Congress "are not really that excited to be back there." He declared, "Every major decision that is made during a lame-duck session is actually bad for America."
But when asked who would win that argument - him or Cantor - Labrador gestured toward Cantor with his thumb and said, "He will." "We've got some things that have to be addressed," Cantor said. "I don't want to see the sequester imposed. … We don't want that to happen. We have to vote on something like that." He said, "What's different about this year is the statute automatically will cause taxes to go up on everyone who pays taxes, if we do not do something to act to stave that off. So we're going to have to have some votes in the lame duck." Labrador said, slightly sheepishly, "He's the one who sets the schedule for the House, so he's the one who will decide. I don't think I will be."
Cantor arrived in a rainy Boise from Sacramento, and after a visit that included a quick tour of Micron Technology and the downtown fundraiser, will head back out to Montana. He's also scheduled to make stops in Salt Lake City and Phoenix. "This is all about House races," he said.

text: This is an accidental outfit with which I ended up being mostly pleased. Mostly. I think the shirt is just a little too big to wear under the dress (or, in US terms, the jumper, as opposed to what I usually mean, when I say jumper, which is sweater. An expat for fifteen years this August!) but not so big it bothered me all that much. It came together when I attempted to wear another navy blue ensemble, and quickly concluded that the tunic I was wearing with a very fitted pencil skirt was much too loose for that to not look very, very stupid indeed. At that point, I had the tights on already, and once that happens, I have committed to my colour for the day, so a quick rummage through my dress rack (must take photos and write a post about the dressing room eventually) turned up this recently-thrifted dress/jumper, and I dug out the stripey shirt to go all matchy-matchy with the navy tights. Then I saw the boots on their shelf, and realised they matched the dress very well, and there you have it: today's outfit. Details: Stripey tee: H&M, remixed. Corduroy jumper/dress: Laura Ashley, thrifted. And here again we have my weird ability to find Laura Ashley clothes I like only in thrift shops. Pendant: Wallis, remixed. Tights: M&S, remixed. Boots: I have no idea what brand these are. I got them at TK Maxx, and other than the price tag, the ONLY identifying information to be found on them was a sticky with the size and the materials (leather uppers/man-made lining and soles) stuck to the bottom of one of them. I wish I knew the brand, because they're really very nice boots. Comments Permalink thrifted remixed IT IS A MYSTERY Laura Ashley my corduroy fetish

Doula Access Fund
Doula UK has a budget to cover expenses incurred by doulas who work for clients in their local community, who do not have the means to employ a doula. This might be because the family's only income is from State benefits and the total income is less than £16,000 per year.
Getting help from the Access Fund
If you would like assistance from a birth or postnatal doula and feel you may be eligible to access this Fund, please accessfund [at] doula [dot] org [dot] uk (get in touch with our Doula Access Fund administrator, Bara Stastna by email) - and she will do her best to help you find a doula who is able to donate her time and assist you with any queries you may have. While we would love to be able to guarantee to find a doula for you, unfortunately it isn't always possible, but we will do our very best.
Supporting the Access Fund
Many doulas donate money to this Fund when they can. Clients who have appreciated the doula support they have received and would like to help others to have a similar service also donate to the Doula Access Fund and their contributions are always gratefully received.
If you would like to make a donation please either:
- send a cheque payable to 'Doula UK', with your name, address and telephone number clearly written on the reverse or on the enclosed documentation to: Doula UK Ltd, 116 Forest Road London E8 3BH.
- or donate online via this website.
Please ensure that you write that your donation is specifically for the 'Doula Access Fund' so that it will not get included with general running costs income.
Thank you
Doula UK Board of Directors

"The information encoded in your DNA determines your unique biological characteristics, such as sex, eye color, age and Social Security number."
"Social Security is a government program with a constituency made up of the old, the near old and those who hope or fear to grow old. After 215 years of trying, we have finally discovered a special interest that includes 100 percent of the population. Now we can vote ourselves rich."
"Joy can be real only if people look upon their life as a service, and have a definite object in life outside themselves and their personal happiness"
"I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal."

Clothing Rental Startup Aims to be 'Netflix for Fashion'
Name: Le Tote Quick Pitch: Head-to-toe outfits delivered to your door for a monthly fee. Genius Idea: Exchange your outfit for another at any time. The average American buys 64 pieces of clothing per year. Driving that impressively high number are "fast fashion" retail chains like Forever21 and H&M, which produce trendy clothing meant to be worn a handful of times and then disposed of.
