|Turbocharging Internal Combustion Engines
|3 Days
|The need to control emissions and maintain fuel economy is driving the use of advanced turbocharging technology in both diesel and gasoline engines. As the use of diesel engines in passenger car gasoline and diesel engines increases, a greater focus on advanced turbocharging technology is emerging in an effort to reap the benefits obtained from turbocharging and engine downsizing.
This seminar covers the basic concepts of turbocharging of gasoline and diesel engines (light and heavy duty), including turbocharger matching and charge air and EGR cooling, as well as associated controls. The limitations and future possibilities of today's systems will be covered, as well as details on how emerging technologies will impact engine/vehicle performance. The seminar's primary focus is on the turbocharger-engine interface (subjects such as matching, benefits, limitations, and new technologies) rather than detailed turbocharger aerodynamics and design. Advanced technologies such as variable geometry and multi-stage turbocharging, high and low pressure loop EGR systems, assisted turbocharging and turbocompounding are discussed. Students will have the opportunity to perform hands-on exercises to gain an appreciation of parametric effects in a wide range of engines.
**Participants are expected to bring a laptop computer, with Excel, to the seminar for class exercises.
|Learning Objectives
|By attending this seminar, you will be able to:
|Who Should Attend
|This seminar is designed for engineers, managers, and other technical personnel from OEM and support industries concerned with the design and development of optimized diesel and spark ignition engine systems, including performance, fuel economy and emissions for passenger car, light truck and heavy duty engines. Some background in thermodynamics, IC engine performance and emissions will be helpful. Individuals who need more background should consider attending SAE seminar "Diesel Engine Technology" (ID# 93014) or "The Basics of Internal Combustion Engines" (ID# C0103).

The following is a news release from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department regarding the death Monday of a Menifee man in a hiking accident:
On Monday Jan. 21, 2013 at 3:36 p.m., officers from the Temecula Police Department responded to the area of Camino Potro and Camino Estribo near the Ecological Preserve area within the City of Temecula, on a report of a hiking accident. The reporting party stated that five adult male hikers had entered the area and traveled along the creek. During the hike, his friend had been killed by a falling boulder.
Temecula officers responded to the area and contacted four hikers at the entrance to the Ecological Preserve. One of the hikers led Cal Fire Personnel and the officers into the canyon, and after 30 minutes of hiking, they located the victim. The victim was identified as Nicholas Lovato, 23 years of age, from Menifee.
The investigation revealed the five hikers had entered the Ecological Preserve and hiked along the creek until they became fatigued and decided to rest next to a body of water. A few of the hikers began to climb a 200-foot, sheer-faced rock cliff adjacent to the body of water.
Three of the hikers were seated on a large rock outcropping approximately 30 feet above the body of water when they heard the rock begin to crack. The rock gave way, sending the victim to the ground below. The boulder broke free and subsequently fell and struck the victim. The victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Due to the remote location and treacherous terrain, the Riverside County Sheriff's Aviation Bureau and the Coroner's Bureau utilized a Sheriff's helicopter in order to recover the victim's remains.
No rescue personnel were injured during the incident.

If your initial answer to this question was to think, "Of course he did!" you might have to think again. Many of us have grown up with the familiar notion, from our earliest school years, that Christopher Columbus got the green light for his journey from Queen Isabella, and then the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria set sail. The trouble is, that America, as we understand it today, was quite well occupied by the time Columbus hit the new world. While we might have learned in history classes that Christopher Columbus "discovered America" in 1492, we also know that the American continents had actually been inhabited by Native Americans for centuries before Columbus arrived. In fact, Christopher Columbus wasn't even the first European to reach America -- about 500 years before Columbus, a group of Vikings, led by Leif Ericson, reached the North American shores and left a settlement on the island of modern-day Newfoundland. There is even a legend (and until proven otherwise it is only that!) that an Irish monk named St. Brendan may have reached North America even earlier, during the sixth century, along with several other monks in a quest to find Paradise.
Columbus did unquestionably sail into the Bahama islands in 1492 and in fact made four trips to the new world. He even visited Cuba. And his discovery had a lasting impact on the trade routes of the day. Interestingly, one myth that somehow made its way into the lore about Columbus was the notion that somehow he "thought the world was flat." In truth, though, the educated people of his time all understood that the world was round. So that myth has been busted. Columbus did, however, think the world was just a wee bit smaller than it turned out to be. He'd hoped to reach Japan in a few thousand miles of sailing, when in reality it would have been more than 10,000 miles, and some continents in between. But he can't be blamed for something like that, given how much of the globe was still yet to be explored in the late-15th and early-16th centuries [source: NPR].

Weeks 20 - 24: It's real, we've seen the photographs!
It's time to go to the hospital with my partner for my 20-week scan. I feel very excited when the sonographer does the scan, as the baby is so much clearer. We can detect arms, limbs, head – it's so real. On the photograph we can see that tiny person so vividly. Remarkably, we don't feel tempted to know the sex – we are both happy for it to be a surprise. My baby is now the size of a coconut and it shows, I am looking very definitely pregnant.
My midwife measures my bump and we listen to the heart on the monitor. This is a strangely emotional moment – the tiny heart pounds incredibly fast – and I wonder at the miracle that is taking place in my body. Apparently, my bump should measure roughly one centimetre for every week of pregnancy. Everything seems fine until my midwife asks me about movements – have I felt any? Funnily enough, I haven't. No kicks, no prods, nothing. Maybe it's happening when I'm asleep so my midwife tells me I'm to pay special attention to baby movements.
I am also getting worried about stretch marks. My midwife has said to buy a big tub of some thick, gooey ointment and slap it on all the time in order to prevent them. According to my pregnancy book, around 90 per cent of women get stretch marks and massage creams don't work because it's all down to genes. I shall have to ask mum whether she got any.
I so wish my nausea would take a running jump. To cap it all I am also getting regular nosebleeds and my gums bleed every time I brush my teeth. My midwife says that the nosebleeds are down to the high levels of oestrogen and progesterone whizzing around my body softening the cervix for childbirth and this can affect the mucus membranes in the nose. I make an appointment to see the dentist to try to get my gum problem sorted.
I asked my midwife what my baby was like now and she told me that, if she were to be born at 24 weeks, she would have a chance of survival outside my body. Her movements should be getting stronger but I still feel very little while I am awake.
Today I went to the chemist to see if I could buy an alternative therapy for my nausea just for the duration of my driving test. They wouldn't sell me anything due to my "condition" but I didn't need it in the end because… tah dah… I have finally passed my driving test! I feel like doing a jig on the kitchen table. The only thing that's bugging me is that the examiner didn't realise I was pregnant – just thought I was fat. Thanks a bunch.

Spain and Portugal have been on my mind a lot lately.
Let me 'splain you.

Color has always been an important ingredient in the FOODalogue kitchen … lots of red, green, orange and purple on the plate because, you know, eating healthy is a colorful thing.
But, this month's challenge for the Creative Cooking Crew was to "create a complete and cohesive dish with only one color". I chose white because I wanted the multiple challenge of preparation, presentation, photography (<it wasn't easy) and also to prove that all white food is not bad for you. Think fish, mushrooms, cannellini beans, white asparagus, cauliflower, and wine! Continue Reading
"Choose one of your favorite rich, heavy, fatty animal-protein-based meals and give it a healthy VEGAN spin." That was the challenge. Continue Reading
It wasn't intended. I started to make some kind of dinner using about a 1/2 dozen fresh brussels sprouts.
I thought of a rice bowl. A brown rice bowl. Then, as I started to pull out other ingredients, I suddenly realized everything started with a "B" and I got amused. (I'm easy that way.) Continue Reading
Yes, apple is present everywhere in this dish!
I always try to take the theme of these challenges to some place different … some place unexpected. I knew immediately it would be featured in a savory dish: (1) for the obvious reason that I'm not a dessert-maker and (2) I love the yin and yang of sweet and savory.
You might think at first glance that this is complicated or fancy, but it's really very simple. Continue Reading
Although we've been lucky for a number of years now, living in FL you know the drill and you don't take chances. A couple days before a storm's forecasted arrival: fill the gas tank, stock up on water and fresh ingredients — fruits, veggies, cheeses, crusty bread. Things that are easy to eat without power. And … while you still have power, start cooking what's in the freezer.
I was prepared but once it was reality and I was stuck in the house till it passed, my thoughts went to comfort foods. So, with the first rain band, I got cooking – literally!
I don't make rich meals like this often but when I saw these veal shanks at the market, I couldn't resist.
Neither osso bucco nor risotto are in my repertoire. I've made both at some time in my cooking life, but I couldn't tell you when. I guess I could have checked some online recipes, but there's no fun in that for me. I love to wing it. And I'm happy to share the results because they were fantastic. With all due respect, and modesty aside, I don't think Mario. Lydia or Giada could have done better though, truth told, I've undoubtedly been influenced by them over the years. It's good to know the many hours I spend watching celebrity chefs duke it out has trickled down to the betterment of the FOODalogue kitchen.

Vote of the week: Will you visit Universal Orlando's Harry Potter theme park land in 2010?
Written by Robert Niles
This is the time of year when I like to start looking ahead to all the new attractions that will debuting at theme parks around the country this year. But this year, really, there's one new attraction that sucking all the attention from everything else:Tweet
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal's Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida.
The Kuka robot-arm-driven dark ride through Hogwart's Castle (and, via Floo Network elsewhere in the Wizarding World) promises to be most unique ride system debuting this year, not to mention being the first U.S. attraction based upon the biggest book-and-movie franchise in the world this decade. Obviously interest is high, not just among the regular theme park fans and Harry Potter devotees. This is one of those occasional theme park openings that draws attention from folks who don't normally pay much attention to theme parks.
Which provides a huge opportunity for Universal Orlando to win new customers and build market share. (Universal's already raising some ticket prices, in an effort to ensure visitors stay longer than just a day or two this year.)
But as we wait for Universal to reach out to the general public, what about the industry's most loyal fans? What about you? Are you planning to make a trip to Universal Orlando this year?
That's our vote of the week:
Tell us why, or why not, in the comments. And, as always, thank you for reading Theme Park Insider!
Readers' Opinions
From Steve Ward on January 15, 2010 at 8:18 AM
im skipping this year as i have been to orlando for the past 2 years as my main holiday. So most likely 2011.
Plus if there are any major issues with any attractions they should have been ironed out by then too
From 220.127.116.11 on January 15, 2010 at 8:26 AM
I will not be returning to Orlando this year because I still am disappointed in Universal Orlando from the way they handled HRRR last year. We planned our trip the second week of August, because I am well aware of issues with new ride systems/technology delaying the opening of new attractions. We stayed on site for a week, enjoyed many of the upscale restaurants offered, and then was repayed by watching an employee only dress rehearsal during regular park hours on the coaster. I felt that it was inconsiderate to all patrons who had been watching the test runs all week long. The coaster had an official soft opening the day after we left Orlando.
The entire family had a blast @ Universal, Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, and Animal Kingdom but we will give them a chance to get the kinks worked out before we give up another week of our time along with a month of salary.
From 220.127.116.11 on January 15, 2010 at 8:30 AM
I would love to go, but because of finances, I will have to go another year. My son is 4 now, so another year or so will probably be more enjoyable for both of us. I do expect to read some great trip reports though!
From Bob Miller on January 15, 2010 at 8:54 AM
I agree with Steve, as I wrote in another thread, Zachary and I won't be going back down to Florida until 2011. Even when we do get there, I'm not sure we'll rush up to Universal to see HP.
This past summer, we did get the 7 day ticket on line, but opted to only go for 2 days, since we'd finished both parks in that time. I have gotten annual passes in the past, and went down for 2 summers in a row, but I can't do that anymore. So price wise, with their new increase, I'm not in any hurry to go there just to see Harry, even though we like the books and movies.
On a side question to Robert, any word on the cast members coming for the opening?
From Tiffany Alfonso on January 15, 2010 at 8:54 AM
Definitely, definitely, and definitely again! Muetti is a big HP fanatic and we have bought out Annual Power Passes to visit UO to see that land!
From Roger Sage on January 15, 2010 at 9:10 AM
I defenatley am. My family and I always make a yearly trip to Orlando, but mainly stay at WDW. We've been to Universal a couple of times, and it's great, we've just been holding out going there the past couple of years so we can be there when the Wizarding World opens. I'm excited to see if The Forrbidden Journey makes a better ride than Spiderman, or at least rivals it.
From Brian Emery on January 15, 2010 at 9:48 AM
I had to vote Yes because it's a loaded question… I was going to visit Universal even if they did not have HP….
From 22.214.171.124 on January 15, 2010 at 10:03 AM
We are visiting Disney in March and had planned to make the trip to Universal, but the news of the price hike, made me change my mind. I agree they needed to raise the price, but 70%, that was way too much. I rather spend the whole week at Disney where everything is already paid for.
From Melissa Donahue on January 15, 2010 at 11:33 AM
My husband and I are going in late June. Talk about timing -- we decided to purchase our $99 park tickets on a Sunday evening. The very next morning, I read the news about the price increase. How's that for pure luck! I just hope the new ride is operational by then.
From Jack Curley on January 15, 2010 at 12:41 PM
I have absolutely zero interest in anything Potter. I may be going to Orlando this year, and I may even get talked into going to IOA, but I don't need ride anything in the section where all the bespectacled fanboys and fangirls will be worshiping.
From Joshua Counsil on January 15, 2010 at 1:10 PM
Gotta agree with the anonymous poster. After that HRRR incident last August, I felt I was treated like a filthy mudblood.
From 18.104.22.168 on January 15, 2010 at 1:51 PM
I'd love to, but being that I'm not a huge Potter fan, I'd rather wait and enjoy at my own pace rather than having to put up with the crowds of fans it's sure to draw.
That, and I already have my vacation planned for this year - Vegas.
From Frank Forrester on January 15, 2010 at 1:54 PM
I will be going, but not just for that. I had the worst luck with the HRRR coaster last year as I went to Orlando 3 times last year and everytime I went it wasn't open. I went in April and late June and they still hadn't opened it yet and when I went again in December it was closed the entire week I was there. Hopefully I will be able to ride it when I go this year.
From Amanda Jenkins on January 15, 2010 at 3:40 PM
I don't plan on going to Universal this year. Origninally, I had planned on going with my husband and leave our sons behind for a quick trip. The more that I think about it, the more I want to wait and see what the reactions are from everyone. Part of me feels it may be a bit of a letdown from what we are all expecting. I was really excited when first hearing that Universal was doing this. Now after HRRR, I'm a little hesitant to get my hopes up. I think I will wait another year or two before visiting. My kids will be taller and able to ride more and hopefully all the kinks will be fixed.
From 184.108.40.206 on January 15, 2010 at 3:56 PM
I'm actually making an effort to go to IOA before Harry Potter land opens officially. I'm hoping to miss some of the crowds since Harry Potter is not big on my list of things to do. I'm hoping everyone else will wait until the land is open to go and I will have a nice day at the park without a crowd (although there will still be more people than I wanted). If I were Cartman I'd by the park and not let anyone else in.... using the you can't come here method.
From James Rao on January 15, 2010 at 5:48 PM
I am very happy to announce that I will indeed be heading to Orlando in 2010! However, I totally agree with previous posters and suspect that Harry Potter will not yet be ready for prime time when I visit. So, instead I booked a 9-day trip to WDW and will be spending the entire vacation completely immersed in everything Disney (I may make a two-day jaunt down to BGT as well).
I should note that I plan to vacation at Universal Orlando (and SeaWorld) in May of 2011 once the Wizarding World is completely done and working properly. Sorry, Universal, I love you with all my heart, but I just don't trust you after last year's RRR debacle!
From Sylvain Comeau on January 15, 2010 at 4:35 PM
If not 2010, I'll be going in '11 for sure. Looking forward to the new coaster, too, haven't done that one, yet.
From George McClelland on January 15, 2010 at 6:03 PM
Skipping this year because of the hefty price increase.
Usually hit Universal at least once a year, but with smaller increases across the board, and now a recent doubling in price - I'm looking at heading elsewhere. Especially since it's really just one new attraction.
From James Rao on January 15, 2010 at 7:05 PM
One new ride, but several new attractions. However, I understand your point. If you are not a Potter fan, you probably are not too interested in shopping for wands or drinking some butterbeer.
From 188.8.131.52 on January 15, 2010 at 9:13 PM
No I would love to ride it but it is just to much money to get there
From Anthony Murphy on January 15, 2010 at 9:34 PM
2011 for me!
From 188.8.131.52 on January 16, 2010 at 3:03 PM
We are going in February, but I am not sure if the attraction will be ready. If it is, we will definitely go!
From Emily G on January 16, 2010 at 3:40 PM
I was only in Orlando in November 2009 and before that in June 2007 so another trip so soon would be a little too costly also too soon for me to return. There are so many other places in the world including in America I would like to see. I was however very disappointed it hadn't opened on my last visit, as when I booked my trip over 18 months in advance there was a possibility it would have been. I would love to see it and may do at some point in the future. In the meantime I will be interested to read the reviews and info on here.
From tony barker on January 16, 2010 at 4:10 PM
Well, as far as I am concerned, I am 40 in 2011 (yay) so my birthday will be spent at Universal - planning on a 4 week villa stay in the area, so I can completely chill from work, enjoy Harry Potter, Rockit, Manta, Aquatica and HHN21 (hoping it will be a special one).
As for the trip, gives me more time to save up and, more importantly work out who is going to dog sit for that long ..... !!!
From 188.8.131.52 on January 16, 2010 at 11:37 PM
They are now hiring for ride attendants...
From Bruce Lane on January 16, 2010 at 11:58 PM
Nope. No interest, got other things on tap.
Happy travels to those who will be going, though.
From Robert OGrosky on January 17, 2010 at 12:15 PM
I also will not be visiting, though im looking forward to the new coaster at PKD.
Im not a big potter fan, and while I believe the theming will be nice im underwhelmed that the only true addition is one new ride. I think they should have added at least 2 top notch attractions to make this new area worth a special visit. The one benefit will be less people at the start of the day will go to Hulk/Spiderman so these rides will have shorter lines as everyone heads to potter.
From 184.108.40.206 on January 18, 2010 at 3:32 AM
No, we have booked to go in February thinking it would have all been finished by then.
From 220.127.116.11 on January 18, 2010 at 9:44 AM
I'm not planning to go in 2010, it will be a zoo.
On another note, I heard that they are having to hire from the outside because they didn't get enough employees willing to transfer to HP from the inside. Gee, I wonder why? Massive crowds, impatient and probably rude people, all for the magnificent wage of $7.53 hour? I am rushing to apply, not.
From 188.8.131.52 on January 18, 2010 at 12:27 PM
We went in late August 09, and don't plan on going back untill at least '11. Dueling dragons is our familie's favorite coaster, so we got our fill before the retheming and resulting long lines that Potter-world will bring in. We are big fans of the books, not so much the movies, so we are interested in seeing it, but not enough to fight the initial crowds.
From 188.8.131.52 on January 19, 2010 at 7:21 PM
yes! harry potter is not just a ride, it has rides, shows and attractions! im not A huge harry potter fan either but i visit universal all the time and it looks really cool, its huge! so yes, and universal is way more state of the art and up to date than disney, everyone should go to universal unless you have little kids that like the big mouse...and about the price increase, disney is still way more, trust me i live in orlando.

"Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way. Being explicit doesn't tap into the mystical aspect of it either in fact, that usually kills it because people don't want to see sex so much as they want to experience the emotions that go along with it. These things are hard to convey in film because sex is such a mystery." - David Lynch

How To Dye Utility Canvas Coverlet?
Good Questions
Q: I have a coverlet from Utility Canvas that I love, but I'm getting a little bored with the fuchsia color and want to dye it red. My washing machine isn't big enough to hold it (I have the king size), and of course I can't dye it at a laundromat. I loathe the stiff texture of fabric paint, so that's off the table. Is there a way to send it out for dyeing? Any suggestions?
Sent by Lindsey
Editor: Leave your suggestions for Lindsey in the comments - thanks!
• Got a question? Email yours with pic attachments here (those with pics get answered first)
16 Comments
Why not use a big laundry basket? You know, the ones that look like big buckets? If it can accommodate your coverlet dry, it can probably hold it wet. Do the dyeing process outside like on a driveway, where you can dump the dye into the sewer when you're done. Use a hose to rinse everything. Hang the coverlet up to dry.
I agree with KHinNJ. Cotton happily accomodates dyes. I'd suggest waiting until spring and getting one of those light weight kiddie wading pools. I would also suggest buying a bit of similar fabric to test first. Also, invest a some good fiber reactive dyes, such as procion, but I would not recommend rit dye, as in my experience it isn't permanent.
Ditto procion dye and a kiddie pool/hose setup.
I'd consult with someone who has successfully dyed big items before. Among other issues is that if your dye doesn't properly set, you will have pink sheets. You need to rinse like you wouldn't believe!
Use plain white vinegar as a fixative to help keep the dye on the coverlet. Get a gallon jug of it. And be prepared to use a lot of water!
You might be able to get a dry-cleaner, costume shop, fashion/costume school or industrial dyer in your area to do this if you find it too daunting. They will have dye vats and experience.
Yes, you can ask around at dry cleaners or quilt groups in your area - or - you can send out for dyeing, just Google for 'custom dyeing service'. It's expensive though and the process really isn't as hard as it sounds, I dye large items frequently, a couple keys:
* because your item has been in use, you need to pre-wash it with a proper detergent before dyeing to ensure it's extra-clean and the dye takes fully, Synthrapol always works well for me
* only use what's called a 'fiber-reactive' dye, like Procion, it ensures that (used with a fixer) the dye will stay on the fabric and not migrate to another fabric item or ruin a washing machine. If home dyeing, however, your item needs to be heat set so you'll need access to a large enough clothes dryer or patiently use an iron.
* you can absolutely dye that in a tub but you'll need a big mixing stick and an area where you can drain off the dye water. Plan ahead because carrying buckets of dye water isn't fun! I have however dyed comforter covers, and large lengths of fabric for curtains, in my home laundry machine. I just control the cycles and press most of the remaining dye water out by hand before I switch to a spin cycle.
I recommend following Dharma Trading's instructions - it's where I get my dye supplies and they have great step-by-step information:
All these ppl suggesting wading pools... why not just do it in the bathtub? Will it be impossible to clean off of the tub? Maybe you always wanted a pink tub! (No bathtub, then?)
I've dyed curtains, bedsheets, etc... I have a big plastic bin that I use which holds maybe 20 gallons. I rarely fill it halfway, and I follow the instructions for vat dying (with fiber reactive procion dye) and it's fine! I do the rinsing in my bathtub, and sometimes wash there too, by hand. You also could use your bathtub as a dye vat. I have gotten dye on my bathtub (it's where I put my plastic tub while dying) and it comes off... Best idea is to call Dharma Trading Company and ask them for suggestions! They are awesome.
I've washed king sized duvet covers in my washer, so I'm not sure why you can't use your washer. I dye stuff all the time in my washer. You have to keep setting the timer back to make sure that it agitates for the right amount of time but that's the only tricky bit. I always do an empty load with just water and bleach afterwards, but I've never had any problem with staining in the washer - either of parts or of things washed afterwards.
If you do use a pool or tub, you'll need to be careful that everything gets evenly dyed, which is not a problem when you use a washer.
I completed a simliar project with my IKEA couch cover (cotton). I used a kiddie pool and it worked out fabulously. It's wide and shallow shape makes it easy to ensure all fabric is submerged correctly. Happy dying!
Check out low immersion dying techniques - you really can do that in a smaller space and with less water. Ann Johnston has a great book on the subject. You can also google instructions and get them from the companies other people have recommend - Procion and Dharma Trading (both companies are good to work with and may help you over the phone). If you want the dye to saturate the fiber evenly, you will need to stir the fabric in the solution more than if you want a mottled look on the fabric. For that, it is helpful to have a slightly larger container than you would otherwise need for low immersion dying.
If you live in an area with a university or art school, a fiber major would be able to dye something for cheap.
Do you have basic sewing skills and a machine? If you separate the front and back you may find that your machine is large enough to do it in two batches.
I'm not familiar with the Utility brand but I gather it's fairly basic. You could probably simply replace it for the cost of the kid's pool, the dye and your labour.
Another enthusiastic vote for Procion dyes. I dye a lot of stuff in my tub. And Synthrapol detergent is great for pre-wash (remove dirt, more even dye later) and post-wash (remove excess dye.
I vote Procion dyes, but please, do NOT dump it to a sewer drain. It needs to go through the black water system of the community. ( the chemicals in analine dyes kill lots of organisms, including those that break down sewage in septic fields).
It can be poured on open land if very (extremely, absolutely) dilute.
Another option is some form of giant ziplock in which to dye.
Good directions for vat dyeing can be found at Dharma Trading Company www.dharmatrading.com.
Best dyes are Rupert, Gibbon and Spyder.

A bit smelly but has a good veranda
What we say:
We were greeted by a very unclean smell in the lobby of this place, and a spry old Vietnamese guy who didn't speak any English. We thought the rooms were not all that great -- a bit cramped, a bit shabby. Still, the place remains popular, perhaps because of the long exterior balconies, lined with tables and chairs, overlooking the street, providing an excellent place to hang out in the evening and watch the world go by below. And the other draw: the budget price, of course.

Best Android tablets (February 2013 edition)
Summary: Don't want an iPad or iPad mini? No problem! Here are my top 5 Android tablets for February 2013.
6 of 6Image
The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T is not only the slimmest and lightest 1920x1200 resolution Full HD Android tablet on the market, but it is also stylish and very well put together.
The 10.1-inch 1920x1200 resolution display is backed by a powerful Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor which features a 12-core GPU. This hardware powers the Android 4.0.3 "Ice Cream Sandwich" operating system.
The tablet features an 8 megapixel rear camera, and a 2 megapixel front camera, and the battery can go for 9.5 hours between recharges.
At a glance:
- 10.1-inch 1920x1200 display
- Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor
- Android 4.0.3 "Ice Cream Sandwich"
- 8 megapixel rear camera, and a 2 megapixel front camera
- Choice of 32GB or 64GB
- Battery life of 9.5 hours
Price: from $499.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7-inch
Not that Apple has released the iPad mini, this seems to have rekindled interest in smaller tablets. For those who are looking for a highly-portable tablet on a budget, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is worth a look.
The 7-inch screen with 1024x600 resolution display is a little meager compared to the Nexus 7, but offsetting this is the micro-SD card slot that allows you to bump the storage up from the stock 8GB for a few dollars.
The tablet is powered by a dual core Texas Instruments OMAP processor and a 3 megapixel rear-facing camera. The stock operating system is Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" but you can upgrade to Android 4.1 "Jelly Bean".
At a glance:
- 7-inch, 1024x600 display
- 1GHz Texas Instruments OMAP processor
- Android 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich"
- 3 megapixel rear camera, and a VGA front camera
- Choice of 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB
- Battery life of about 5 hours
Price: from $200.

Gordon, Irwin L.: WHO WAS WHO 5000 B. C. to Date. v1, 9 Jan 2008
A humorous Biographical Dictionary of the Famous and Those Who Wanted to Be.
Some examples:
ADAM[1] (last name unknown), ancestor, explorer, gardener, and inaugurator of history. Biographers differ as to his parentage. Born first Saturday of year 1. Little is known of his childhood. Education: Self-educated. Entered the gardening and orchard business when a young man. Was a strong anti-polygamist. Married Eve, a close relative. Children, Cain and Abel (see them). Was prosperous for some years, but eventually fell prey to his wife's fruitful ambitions. Lost favor of the proprietor of the garden, and failed in business. Started a number of things which have not been perfected. Diet: Fond of apples. Recreation: Chess, agriculture. Address: Eden, General Delivery. Clubs: Member of all exclusive clubs.
[1] Ed. Note: Adam should not be first, but he is given that position out of respect.
TWIST, Oliver, one of those unfortunates whose history had to be divulged for the financial gain of a great writer and many theatrical mangers.

Decide what you want
Before you go and employ contractors to create your swimming pool, much better go and visualize first the design and shape of your swimming pool. There are many pool contractors, but if you want to obtain that that dream pool of yours constructed then go for those contractors specializing in that style you want.
Ask Questions
Do not beat round the bush. If you wish to know how much it will cost you or how long can it take, then question it upfront. It would be smart if you're able to make a short list of queries you wanted to ask so you will never be shocked if the swimming pool constructed didn't match your expectations. Go and inquire, your contractors do not know what you want.
Level Of Experience, Contract Background, History
Some people do not go the screening procedure in choosing a service provider. Though this might be time consuming, exploring a little information about the contractors you have would dramatically affect the results of your swimming pool construction. Check your contractors' past and line of specialty although it was introduced by a friend or relative of yours.
Read the Contract
Don't just sign and sign papers, always read, check and understand the contract fully. The agreement must defend you AND your contractor. It should be a win-win scenario.
Winter Time
There is a idea that it would be more affordable to construct a swimming pool during the winter months. Well, it is certainly not real. The basis for the cost of a pool is the cement use, metals, rocks, tiles, etc and these products don't drop in cost during winter. Swimming pool construction can't be less expensive than constructing it these days.
Before heading and have a swimming pool construction, check first those protection methods that must be implemented throughout the construction. In many cases, the area or state you live in have standards in relation to building a swimming pool particularly if you are in an exclusive neighborhood..
Mechanics of the Pool
Pipe sizes, hydraulics design, pump machines, should be given concern. Don't select styles which will compromise the efficiency of your pool. Always choose an energy-efficient mechanics and if you will get design and machine efficiency, then the better.
Now, if you had all these things check, then it is not enough. Go and research some more, in this way, you will be swimming in your dream pool in no time.

Motel 66When the city of Williams condemned the Lodge on Route 66, no one expected a resurrection. But along came Rob Samsky, who brought the vintage motel back to life, and in the process, created an elegant property that hearkens back to the heyday of the Mother Road.
By Roger Naylor
Williams Achieving a dream is like completing a great road trip. No matter how careful the planning, you sometimes take an unexpected route to arrive at your destination. Welcome to Rob Samsky's world. What he wanted was a mountain cabin, someplace where he and his family could escape the desert heat. What he ended up with was one of the pre-eminent motels in Williams — the stylish and casually elegant Lodge on Route 66.
While searching for a simple cabin on a foray to the high country in 2002, Samsky came across a ramshackle motel for sale. Surprising even himself, he bought it. The motel, a vintage motor court right on Historic Route 66, had been condemned by the city, but that didn't scare off Samsky, who began an almost unimaginable rehabilitation project. First, he installed his family, because what better source of cheap labor than blood relatives? He now had his little mountain cabin. It just happened to have 28 rooms.
Setting out to design an affordable motel while recapturing an era of sophistication and comfort, Samsky applied high standards to each detail. He gutted and then lovingly restored everything, from the fixtures to the frame. Wood used in the renovation was taken from the surrounding forest and run through the local sawmill. Many of the original rooms were combined to make suites.
The Lodge on Route 66 opened in June 2004 and hearkened back to something that had long been missing from Williams. Travelers on the road dubbed the "Main Street of America" now had family run luxury lodging again. The Lodge was in the forefront of the renaissance for downtown Williams, one of the most well-preserved small-town cores in the state with a powerful Route 66 heritage.
Samsky sacrificed none of the property's historic charm in creating the Lodge. Guests can still park in front of their rooms in the classic motor-court tradition. The exterior exudes a Southwestern feel, with an open courtyard surrounding a lovely covered cabana that's anchored by large wooden pillars. Rustic chairs are positioned along the walkway, creating an old-fashioned chat-with-your-fellow-travelers vibe.
In the rooms, guests are welcomed by an array of amenities, including travertine flooring and countertops, solid-wood furniture, flat-screen TVs, plush beds and luxurious linens. Suites include a sleeper sofa, wood kitchen cabinets, a stainless-steel refrigerator, a dining nook and fireplaces. Spend a little time inside, and other homey details become apparent, like the designer-style lighting and interior archways.
Complimentary breakfast is served each morning on the cabana, where guests can relax at the edge of Historic Route 66 as the soft flow of traffic streams past — fellow travelers on road trips or folks chasing dreams of their own.

Elizabeth Perkins was born on November 18, 1960, in the borough of Queens, New York, and raised in Vermont. She studied acting at Chicago's Goodman School of Drama at DePaul University for three years, then launched her professional career with a co-starring gig in the touring company of Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs (1986). Seasoned, she returned to New York in the spring of 1984 to make her Broadway debut as a replacement in the Simon play. As a stage actress, she has trod the boards with Playwrights Horizon, the Ensemble Studio, The New York Shakespeare Festival, and, back in Chcago, with the Steppenwolf Theater. She found time out to marry the Chicago actor Terry Kinney.
Her first major film role was in the underwhelming screen adaptation of David Mamet's "Sexual Perversity in Chicago," which was turned into a Rob Lowe/Demi Moore star vehicle retitled About Last Night... (1986). Perkins sparkled as the grown woman interested in Tom Hanks in Big (1988), but her career was spotty and she never gained the traction to bring her the stardom that seemed to be within her grasp. In 1991, Perkins starred with Kevin Bacon in He Said, She Said (1991) (thus giving her a Bacon Factor of exactly 1) but, sadly, for such a talented actress, her biggest box-office hit has proven to be The Flintstones (1994), in which she portrayed Wilma.
Perkins made her television debut in For Their Own Good (1993) (TV), a 1993 TV movie based on the true story of a woman who underwent mandatory sterilization to work in a chemical plant. She starred in the NBC comedy series "Battery Park" (2000) produced by Gary David Goldberg (who recently directed her in Must Love Dogs (2005) in a supporting role to her good friend Diane Lane), and HBO's If These Walls Could Talk 2 (2000) (TV). Her other TV work includes Babilônia 2000 (1999), Rescuers: Stories of Courage: Two Women (1997) (TV), and "From the Earth to the Moon" (1998) in an episode directed by Sally Field.
Perkins divorced Kinney and now is married to the cinematographer Julio Macat. Recently, she starred in John Patrick Shanley's black comedy "Four Dogs and a Bone" at Los Angeles' Geffen Playhouse. She also has a starring role in the series "Weeds" (2005) for Showtime. Her talent, personality, and good looks keep her steadily employed, and it wouldn't be surprising if now, on the other side of 40, she makes a breakthrough and does some major work commensurate with her early promise.

MONDAY, June 6 (HealthDay News) -- A new study finds that older
people with mild cognitive impairment -- sometimes a precursor to
Alzheimer's disease -- have a harder time remembering important
dates and medications than those without cognitive problems.
Mild cognitive impairment can be annoying but it isn't as severe
as conditions that significantly disrupt daily life. It can,
however, occur before serious conditions such as Alzheimer's
disease and other causes of dementia.
Patrick J. Brown of the New York State Psychiatric Institute and
his colleagues looked at neurological test results, brain-imaging
studies and other data from 229 people with no cognitive problems,
394 with mild cognitive impairment and memory problems, and 193
diagnosed with mild Alzheimer's disease.
Those in the latter two groups had much more trouble with at
least one kind of cognitive function, especially "assembling tax
records, business affairs or other papers" and "remembering
appointments, family occasions, holidays and medications,"
according to the study.
"These findings show that even mild disruptions in daily functioning may be an important clinical indicator of disease and represent the latter phases of disease progression," the study authors wrote.
Still, one expert not involved with the study cautioned that
people shouldn't read too much into the findings.
"Just because someone misplaces their keys or glasses, forgets an appointment or a dose of medication does not mean they have early Alzheimer's disease," stressed Dr. James E. Galvin, professor of neurology and psychiatry and director of the Pearl S. Barlow Center for Memory Evaluation and Treatment at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City.
He pointed out that the study was seeking to understand which
individuals with mild memory problems (called mild cognitive
impairment, or MCI) were likely to progress to Alzheimer's
"Everyone occasionally forgets," Galvin said. "It's when the forgetfulness becomes a consistent feature and in some way interferes with everyday activities that it is time to discuss with your doctor."
The study was published in the June issue of the
Archives of General Psychiatry.
