This invention relates to three phase power systems utilizing phase sequence separation and, more particularly, to a power system having a phase locked loop with a notch filter for use in phase sequence separation.
Power line conditioning systems for monitoring the quality of an AC line voltage and restoring an unsatisfactory line voltage to within a specified voltage range are known. There are various causes for a line voltage to be outside of its specified range. For example, a line-to-ground fault on one phase can cause the line-to-line voltages to become unequal.
Another power line quality problem is the presence of harmonic disturbances on the line, as can be caused by non-linear loads. Such harmonic disturbances take the form of AC currents on the power line at frequencies other than the nominal line frequency of 60 Hz.
In one type of conventional power line conditioning system, sometimes referred to as an active VAR (volt-ampere reactive) generator, reactive energy is injected into or withdrawn from the line to restore the line voltage to the desired level. Specifically, if it is determined that the line voltage is too high, then an inductive current is injected into the line to lower the line voltage; whereas, if the line voltage is too low, then a capacitive current is injected to raise the line voltage. Active VAR generators include an inverter connected in series between the transmission line and a DC energy storage device, such as a battery, DC bus capacitor, or other energy storage device used to provide power to the inverter. The inverter is controlled to convert the DC energy stored in the DC energy storage device into a current waveform which is injected into or withdrawn from the transmission line to restore the line voltage to the desired condition.
Various control techniques are possible for an active VAR generator in order to determine the appropriate amount of reactive energy to inject into or withdraw from the line. In accordance with one such technique, voltage amplitudes are sampled on a phase-by-phase basis and used to determine the necessary current to restore the voltage to the desired level. However, such a phase-by-phase analysis of the line voltage may result in an injected current demand that exceeds the system capacity or is ineffective in restoring voltage balance, since this type of analysis ignores interaction between the phases.
Another control technique for determining the current levels necessary to restore the line voltage to the desired level includes analyzing the sequence components of the line voltage and is sometimes referred to as phase sequence separation or simply, sequence separation. Unbalanced voltage lines can be represented as the sum of a forward and backward rotating vector of fixed magnitude and frequency. The forward rotating vector is referred to as the positive sequence component and the backward rotating vector is referred to as the negative sequence component. In order to balance an unbalanced line condition, it is desirable to bring the negative sequence component to zero and to bring the positive sequence component to within some small percentage of a predetermined value.
One type of sequence separation utilizes synchronous reference frame control in which measured three-phase voltages or currents are transformed into synchronously rotating D axis and Q axis reference frame quantities. The D-Q reference frame quantities are used to generate inverter control signals that are transformed back to three-phase static reference frame quantities for use by the inverter. For example, in an active VAR generator utilizing synchronous reference frame control, each phase of a three-phase line is sampled and the three-phase quantities are transformed into a stationary two phase X-Y axis reference frame quantities. The stationary X-Y reference frame quantities are transformed into synchronously rotating two-phase quantities and proportional-integral (PI) control is used to determine the currents to be injected into, or withdrawn from the line. The rotating D-Q currents are transformed back to a static three-phase reference frame to generate the control signals for the inverter of the active VAR generator. A phase locked loop (PLL) is used to lock the rotating reference frame to the monitored line, so that current is injected into the line or withdrawn from the line with the correct phase. Low pass filters are used to filter the second harmonic component attributable to the sequence component of opposite polarity. However, a tradeoff exists between the speed of response and elimination of the second harmonic components, since low pass filters result in significant response delays.
Another type of power system that utilizes synchronous reference frame sequence separation is an active rectifier. Active rectifiers convert AC power into DC power to generate a regulated DC bus voltage. Non-linear loads contribute to the generation of undesirable harmonics on the DC bus. In particular, the negative sequence component of the AC line voltage produces second harmonic, 120 Hz ripple on the DC bus. Further, 5th, 7th, 11th and 13th line voltage harmonics produce 6th and 12th harmonics on the DC bus. A PLL is used to synchronize the active rectifier to the AC line and a low pass filter is used to smooth the estimated frequency signal. Here again, there is a tradeoff between the speed of response and the elimination of harmonic components.
According to the invention, a power system associated with a three phase line includes a phase locked loop (PLL) having a notch filter. The power system further includes a three phase to two phase transformation processor responsive to the three phase line for generating two phase X and Y axis sequence components and a stationary to rotating reference frame converter for converting the x and y axis components into rotating D and Q axis sequence components in response to an angle signal. The PLL is responsive to a selected one of the rotating D and Q axis sequence components for generating the angle signal and the notch frequency is tuned to remove a harmonic component from the selected sequence component. In one illustrative embodiment, the PLL further comprises a regulator, such as a proportional integral regulator, for regulating the selected sequence component to zero volts and an integrator for integrating an output signal of the notch filter to provide the angle signal.
The notch filter includes a summer circuit having a first input port to which the output of the regulator is coupled, a second input port, and an output port at which a filtered signal is provided. The filter further includes a generalized integrator coupled in a feedback relationship with the summer circuit with a first input port coupled to the output port of the summer circuit, a second input port responsive to a control signal, and an output port at which an error signal is provided to the second input port of the summer circuit. The generalized integrator is tuned to the frequency of the control signal. The generalized integrator has unbounded (i.e., infinite) gain at the frequency of the control signal (i.e., the tuned frequency).
With this arrangement, harmonic components at the frequency of the control signal are effectively removed from the filtered signal, thereby enabling the PLL to provide a highly accurate frequency, amplitude and phase estimate of the selected sequence component. In one illustrative embodiment, the control signal has a level indicative of two times the frequency of the sampled line voltage so that the filter removes the second harmonic component from the selected sequence component, which harmonic component is attributable to the sequence component of opposite polarity. Accordingly, the filter removes the effect of the opposite polarity sequence component on the resulting angle signal.
According to a further aspect of the invention, a circuit is provided for generating the control signal for the notch filter in response to the filtered signal. In one illustrative embodiment, the circuit is a low pass filter. With this arrangement, the PLL has a programmable, self-tuning or self-regulating feature since, if the frequency of the sequence component processed by the PLL varies, so too does the control signal and thus, the frequency to which the PLL locks.
Illustrative power systems of the above-described type include active VAR generators and active rectifiers. In an active VAR generator, the described arrangement provides optimal control of the injected current to restore the line voltage amplitude and balance. Further, in an active rectifier, DC bus voltage ripple is reduced with the described arrangement.
Optionally, one or more additional notch filters of the above-described type may be coupled to the output of the stationary to rotating reference frame converter for providing harmonic filtering for other sequence components that are not processed by the PLL.
The foregoing features of this invention, as well as the invention itself may be more fully understood from the following description of the drawings in which:
Referring to
A synchronous to three phase converter, regulator and control signal generator 34 is responsive to at least one sequence component signal 38 and to the sampled DC bus voltage 36 and generates control signals 40 for the inverter 14. The synchronous to three phase converter portion of the circuit 34 operates to reverse the transformations of the three phase to synchronous reference frame converter 22, thereby providing three phase stationary quantities for processing by the regulator portion of circuit 34. The regulator may take various forms, such as the current regulator of
The PLL 20 includes a notch filter 20 according to the invention. The PLL 20 generates the synchronous reference frame angle signal 28 for use by a stationary to rotating reference frame converter 26 in orienting the rotating reference frame to a sequence voltage. In particular, the converter 26 uses sin θ and cos θ terms to convert two phase stationary vectors to synchronously rotating vectors and the sin θ and cos θ terms are provided by the reference frame angle signal 28. As will become apparent, the notch filter of the PLL 20 removes certain harmonic components from the sequence component signal 32 that would otherwise affect the synchronous reference frame angle signal 28 and result in inaccurate conversion from the stationary to rotating reference frame and therefore, inaccurate inverter control signals 40.
According to another aspect of the invention, the power system 10 includes a further, optional notch filter 30 that is substantially identical to the notch filter contained within the PLL 20. Filter 30 removes the a harmonic component from the derived sequence component(s) attributable to the respective sequence component of opposite polarity, as will be described in conjunction with filter 54 of
The power system 10 may take a variety of forms and serve a variety of purposes, such as the power line conditioning system 50 of
Referring now to
The power line conditioning system 50 includes an inverter 60 coupled in series between a DC energy storage means 62 and the AC line voltage distribution system 66, all like respective elements in
The DC bus voltage, Vbus, is also sampled by a sample and hold circuit 90 for the purpose of regulating the DC bus voltage so that there is zero net energy into the bus. The sampled DC bus voltage is regulated by a voltage proportional-integral (PI) regulator 88 in response to a desired set point voltage Vdc* 92. The output of the PI regulator 88 is a current reference, or command signal −Iqp* indicative of the Q axis positive sequence component current necessary to maintain the DC bus voltage at Vdc*.
Power line conditioning system 50 further includes notch filters 54, 56, and 58, like filter 30 of
The effect of filters 54, 56, and 58 is shown in conjunction with illustrative three phase line voltages 94, 96, and 98 in
Referring to
Note that a negative sequence amplitude change, as occurs at 0.005 seconds, produces a transient in the positive sequence reference frame signal 86. However, the polarity of the transient is in the direction to properly compensate the total voltage in the power conditioning system 50 of
Filtered signals 82, 84 and 86 are processed by PI regulators 100, 102, and 104, respectively, to generate further current reference signals −Idn*, Iqn*, and −Idp*, as shown. Current reference signals −Adn*, Iqn*, −Idp*, and −Iqp* are indicative of the currents to be injected to, or withdrawn from the line in order to restore equality to the line-to-line voltages, even in the presence of an unbalanced load. It is desirable that the negative sequence components be regulated to zero volts and thus, a zero volt reference 110 is provided to PI regulators 100, 102. And a Vpm* reference 112 is provided to positive sequence component PI regulator 104 in order to set the positive Q axis sequence component to a desired set point, Vpm* for the nominal line voltage. For example, for a 480 volt nominal line, Vpm* is set to
or 392 volts.
Current reference signals −Idn*, Iqn*, −Idp*, and −Iqp* are selectively negated (multiplied by −1) by inverters 122, 124 and transformed back to three phase stationary reference frame signals by synchronous to three phase reference frame converters 116, 118. Reference characters 130, 132 are used to indicate that affecting a D axis voltage requires that a Q axis current be injected into the line and affecting a Q axis voltage requires that a D axis current be injected into the line. Stated differently, in order to regulate the positive and negative sequence voltages, the Q axis positive sequence voltage regulator 104 must generate a current reference which is interpreted as a reactive current and therefore, must appear in the synchronous reference frame D axis. Similarly, the Q axis negative sequence voltage regulator 100 must generate a current reference that is interpreted as a reactive current and therefore, must appear in the synchronous reference frame D axis.
The outputs of converters 116, 118 are summed by a summer 120 to generate a composite current reference signal I*. Regulator 108, as may take the form of a hysteresis or other stationary reference frame current regulator, compares the current reference signal I* with the sampled line current, Iph, to generate gate signals for the switches of the inverter 60. The synchronous to three phase reference frame converters 116, 118 contain the same elements as converters 72, 74, but with the elements arranged to reverse the transformation/conversion. Specifically, each of converters 116, 118 contains a synchronous to stationary reference frame converter and a two phase to three phase transformation processor.
Regarding the inverters 122 and 124, the current controlled by the gate signals is current out of the inverter terminals. This therefore determines the sign of the current references that must be applied to the current regulator 108 and thus, the use and placement of inverters 122, 124. For example, the DC bus regulator 88 must command Q axis current into the inverter and thus, power flow into the DC bus, to raise the DC bus voltage. Similarly, the voltage regulators must command capacitive reactive current to raise the line voltage. If voltage at the terminals causes an in phase flow of current into the inverter, then the inverter looks to the line like a resistor, and therefore must be seen to be absorbing power. Similarly, reactive current into the inverter makes the inverter look like an inductor, and thus reduces the line voltage in quadrature with it, because the line's impedance is primarily inductive, thereby establishing a voltage divider. Reactive current out of the inverter on the other hand makes the inverter look like a capacitor.

Illustrative filter 54 receives the Q axis negative sequence component, Vqn, as its input signal. Input voltage Vqn is coupled to a positive input of a summer 150, the negative input of which is provided at the output of a generalized integrator circuit 154. The output signal 152 of the summer circuit 150 is fed back as the input to the generalized integrator 154 through a unit delay element 158 and a feedback gain element 160. The unit delay element 158 is further responsive to a clock signal, pcarrier, for delaying the summer output signal 152 by one clock signal pulse or, in other words, for providing as its output signal the summer output signal occurring at the previous clock signal pulse. The pcarrier signal is the system clock signal, here an 8 KHz pulse signal. The output signal 162 of the gain element 160 is coupled to the input of the generalized integrator 154, as shown.
The generalized integrator 154 is further responsive to a frequency control signal sinfreq 166 that sets the frequency to which the generalized integrator 154 and thus, the filter 54 are tuned. In the illustrative VAR generator 50 of
As is further described in conjunction with
The generalized integrator 154 is described below in conjunction with
Since the feedback of signal 152 reduces the average or DC value of the output of summer 150, the summer output signal is multiplied by a gain of 1+(0.5)(feedback gain), where the feedback gain is the gain provided by element 160. Thus, in the illustrative embodiment in which the feedback gain is 0.1, the summer output signal is multiplied by a gain of 1.05 by element 170, as shown. Gain elements 160 and 170 determine the dynamic response of the filter 54 and here, are tuned for a lightly underdamped response. The filtered output signal 82 is coupled to PI regulator 100, as shown in
The use of a generalized integrator is discussed in a paper by X. Yuan, et al. entitled "Stationary Frame Generalized Integrators for Current Control of Active Power Filters with Zero Steady State Error for Current Harmonics of Concern under Unbalanced and Distorted Operation Conditions" Conference Record of the 2000 IEEE IAS annual meeting. In contrast to a conventional integrator that has infinite gain at DC, the generalized integrator 154 has infinite gain at a predetermined frequency.

It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the z transform of equation (1) is given by:
Dividing each term by z2 and multiplying numerator and denominator by a variable e(z) yields:
The numerator thus provides the expression given by equation (4):
out(z)=(1-cos(ω)�z −1)�e(z) (4)
And the denominator provides the expression given by equation (5):
e(z)=in(z)+2�cos(ω)�z−1�e(z)−z−2 �e(z) (5)
An implementation of equation (3) is shown in
The output signal 168, out(z), as given by equation (4) is provided at the output of a summer 218, inputs to which are the e(z) signal and (e(z)cos(ω))/z as provided at the output of a multiplier 214. Specifically, inputs to the multiplier 214 are 2cos(ω) as provided at the output of element 202 and e(z)/z as provided at the output of element 212.

The frequency signal 268 is further multiplied by 2π in element 290 and integrated by a digital integrator 292 to provide the synchronous reference frame angle signal 80 as shown in
In order to illustrate the effect of the notch filter 240, a further waveform 80′ is shown. Waveform 80′ illustrates what the synchronous reference frame angle signal would look like if the notch filter 240 were removed from the PLL.
Also shown in
Advantageously, with this arrangement, if the frequency of the positive sequence component Vdp varies from the expected 60 Hz, so too does the sinfreq signal 166 and thus, the frequency to which the PLL 52 locks and the frequency of the harmonic components filtered by filters 54, 56, and 58. In this way, the filter 240 can be characterized as programmable in response to the sinfreq signal 166 and as self-regulating or self-tuning since the sinfreq signal is generated in response to the PLL processed line voltage component.

A multiplier 408 has as inputs the Zx signal and sin(θ), where θ is provided by multiplying the angle signal 28 (
It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that various equations are suitable for converting two phase stationary quantities (Zx, Zy) into rotating quantities (Zd, Zq) without departing from the spirit of the invention. With equations (11) and (12), Q is assumed to align with x and a when 0 is 90 degrees. When Q points right, D points down. This insures that for typical motor control (and line connected) applications, a positive Q current delivers power to the load, and a positive D current delivers inductive current (i.e., magnetizing current for an induction motor). This orientation also makes convenient that the forward and backward transformations use the same equations.
Referring to
More particularly, the sampled line voltage is processed by a three phase to synchronous reference frame converter 458, like converter 22 of
The sampled three phase line current is likewise transformed into a synchronously rotating reference frame by a three phase to two phase transformer 472 of the type shown in
The Q axis signals Vq and Vqe are summed by a summer 490 and the D axis signals Vd and Vde are summed by a summer 492 to generate reference voltages 494. A rectangular to polar converter 496 converts the reference voltages 494 into magnitude and phase. A space vector reference generator 498 accepts magnitude and phase and adds the phase to the reference frame angle to define the voltage vector that the inverter must generate. The space vector generator 498 further generates a PWM pulse train to drive the inverter switches to produce the desired voltage vector in the stationary reference frame. In other words, the output of the rectangular to polar converter 496 gives the magnitude and phase of the desired voltage in a synchronous reference frame. Adding the reference frame angle to the reference voltage tells the space vector reference generator 498 what magnitude and angle to generate in a stationary reference frame.
Having described the preferred embodiments of the invention, it will now become apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that other embodiments incorporating their concepts may be used.
For example, while the illustrative embodiment of

The Woods
Two guys are walking thru the woods when they see a charging Grizzly Bear.
First guy says "Run for it!"
Second guy says, "You can't outrun a Grizzly!"
First guy says "I don't have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun YOU."
Teddy Bears
A man meets a gorgeous woman in a bar.
They talk, they connect, they end up leaving together.
They get back to her place, and as she shows him around her
apartment, he notices that her bedroom is completely packed with teddy bears.
Hundreds of small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor, medium sized ones on a shelf a little higher, and huge bears on the top shelf along the wall.
The man is kind of surprised that this woman would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that's so extensive, but he decides not to mention this to her.
He turns to her... they kiss... and then they rip each others clothes off and make love.
After an intense night of passion, as they are lying there together in the afterglow, the man rolls over and asks, smiling,
"Well, how was it?"
The woman says, "You can have any prize from the bottom shelf."
Religious Cowboy
The devout cowboy lost his favorite Bible while he was mending fences out on the range.
Three weeks later, a bear walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth.
The cowboy couldn't believe his eyes.
He took the precious book out of the bear's mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!"
"Not really," said the bear. "Your name is written inside the cover."
Night of Drinking
A man and his pet bear walk into a bar. It's about 5pm, but they're ready for a good night of drinking.
They start off slowly, watching TV, drinking beer, eating peanuts. As the night goes on they move to mixed drinks, and then shooters, one after the other.
Finally, the bartender says: "Last call."
So, the man says, "One more for me... and one more for my bear."
The bartender sets them up and they shoot them back. Suddenly, the bear falls over dead.
The man throws some money on the bar, puts on his coat and starts to leave.
The bartender, yells: "Hey buddy, you can't just leave that lyin' there."
To which the man replies: "That's not a lion, that's a bear."
A man in a movie theater notices what looks like a bear sitting next to him.
"Are you a bear?" asked the man, surprised.
"What are you doing at the movies?"
The bear replied, "Well, I liked the book."
Front Seat
A policeman in the big city stops a man in a car with a baby bear in the front seat.
"What are you doing with that bear?" He exclaimed, "You should take it to the zoo."
The following week, the same policeman sees the same man with the bear again in the front seat, with both of them wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulls him over.
"I thought you were going to take that bear to the zoo!"
The man replied, "I did. We had such a good time we are going to the beach this weekend!"

January 2010 marks 37 years after Roe v. Wade and now a count of some 50 million unborn citizens whose lives have been intentionally trashed before they were allowed to see the light of a living day. Surely such a death count may be described as a holocaust. In this first year of the Obama presidency, we have observed two major campaigns by the abortion rights agenda to obliterate all respect for the sanctity of human life. But, supposedly America still retains some sense of a moral conscience and it continues with a representative form of government.
When I heard the old Community Hospital was to be torn down it brought back an old memory. Prior to the spring of 1937 at age 17 a hernia developed in my right groin. I finally had to see our family doctor and surgeon, Dr. L.H. Rutledge. Following an examination he said it should be taken care of immediately. A surgery date was scheduled and I reported to the Community Hospital, registered and was assigned a room. Preparation for surgery was simple compared to today.
Kim Schnitzer and Vicki Marthaler wish to thank everyone who attended our 2009 Christmas Concert at First Lutheran Church on Dec. 22. Over 200 people attended, and the admission was an item or two for the local Food Pantry. We were able to donate 172 pounds of food and $54 to help meet needs in our community. Thank you for the donations. Thank you for your attendance, and may God bless our 2010 year with joy and peace. -- Vicki Marthaler, Detroit Lakes
Each year, the staff at Central Market contact me at the Detroit Lakes Police Department with a special request to identify a family or two who are a little "down on their luck" and could use some help during the Christmas season. They prepare presents and gift certificates valid at their store for the various family members and I delivered the Christmas presents. This year, I was accompanied by our student intern, Chelsea, as we set out on our deliveries. At the first residence, we were met by mom, Chrissy, and a toddler.
Did your loved one come home with a gift of wine or Crowne Royal for you? Do they have an unexplained quantity of used power tools such as compressors, cordless drills, etc...? Have they been buying things using only quarters or other change where they never had that much change before? Did they get their disabled car working by putting in a transmission when the week before, there wasn't enough money to buy one? If you think you may know someone that fits any of these questions, please pick up the phone and call your local sheriff's department.
My wife and I had the pleasure to see the performance of a lifetime Friday evening, Dec. 17, 2009 at the Historic Holmes Theatre in Detroit Lakes. "A Madrigal Dinner Performance" it was called, but my wife and I saw it as "A Magical Dinner Performance." The best way we can describe it is, "Wow! Beyond the highest expectations!
After going to a local school's "Holiday Dance," which this school puts on now instead of a Thanksgiving or Christmas Program, there was no mention of the American Flag. All the kids did were dance around the gym to rock 'n roll music. After it was over, I went home very disappointed. I have been going to my grandson's program in LP-A Elementary for many years and have always gone home feelings so proud of our kids! Mrs. Jordan has always put on such great programs, which involve all the kids. They sing our National Anthem, songs from long ago very proudly.
The Detroit Lakes Jaycees would like to thank the following organizations for their contributions to the 2009 Gifts for Kids program: Curves, the Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center, the Detroit Lakes Senior Center, First Security Bank, Central Market and the Washington Square Mall. With the help of these organizations, the Jaycees were able to provide toys for 315 Detroit Lakes area children.
Nearly 50 million people are without health insurance. This is unconscionable in a country with so many riches. With each passing day, more workers will join the ranks of the uninsured as employers struggle with ever increasing insurance costs by not offering coverage, shifting more costs to employees and/or dropping dependent coverage. According to a report by the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality, a full one in six employees with employer-sponsored insurance in 2006 lost that coverage by 2008.
I am writing in response to the editorial by Eric Bergeson on Dec. 6. In his article entitled Turkey Woes, he had several facts wrong and I would like to enlighten him. I am going to comment on his statements as I found them ridiculous. In his article he states that if turkey was any good we would eat it all year round. I have news for Eric. Most people eat turkey all year round. The average per capita consumption is 13.8 lbs. a year. The amount consumed at the holidays is a whopping 90 million pounds. Turkey is the perfect protein with less fat and more protein than chicken.

What would you do if you felt better? Ride a bike… climb a mountain… go skiing…. the options are endless. I work with people to bring bliss into their lives. The bliss of feeling good and being able to do the things you want to do.
What's holding you back?

But soon they start a new conversation which leads one of them to a night adventure, all the more interesting because it happens to be true...The question is: shouldn't you follow advices?

You can browse the online catalog by clicking here:
100% of the profits will be donated to MN Midwest Pug Rescue.
Effective 8/6/2015
MN-MPR will not be taking adoption applications for while. We have an overwhelming number of applications that we are working on but we do not have very many pugs being surrendered. For every pug we get in rescue we have at least 10 applicants waiting. Although it is great that pugs are staying in their homes and don't need to be rescued it is difficult for those looking to adopt! So all of our applicants are patiently waiting for the pug of their dreams! We encourage you to check back with us frequently but please also know that their are other great rescues with dogs in need of homes (and some non breed specific rescues do get pugs in as well!).
For those of you who have submitted an application or are approved (have your references checked and home visit complete), please be patient with us! We are getting pugs in rescue but some of them need a lot of medical care prior to adoption or we may have someone already waiting for a pug coming in.
Thank you all for your continued support!!! We couldn't continue to rescue pugs without all of our supporters!!!
One comment we are getting a lot lately is that people are wondering why there aren't as many rescue pugs.
Well, let's bust that myth!
Pug rescue is BUSY!!
However, since we have many more applications than pugs (what a GREAT thing!), most of our pugs are being adopted without even going to the website. Here is a photo of all the pugs that have been through rescue in the last month or so. All are currently set to be adopted!
If you would like to donate to their medical expenses, please click here. Thank you for supporting the pugs in rescue!
2014 Celebrations!
Because of our supporters, the rescue was able to provide medical care and a forever homes to 35 pugs in 2014! We had many pugs that needed quite a bit of medical care before adoption. In 2014, we paid $34,492.38 directly to veterinary clinics. Most pugs needed some sort of surgery, whether it was bladder stone removal, mast cell tumor removal, hernias, eye surgeries, extreme dental needs etc. That is all in addition to our regular vet care that the rescue provides to pugs including vaccines/spay/neuter.
Thank you to all who continue to make donations, supporters and our iFosters (who make monthly donations) to the pug rescue. We would not be able to do what we do for pugs if it wasn't for your support. Your contributions have and will be used to further the mission of the rescue and provide a safe and loving sanctuary for abandoned, surrendered, stray and neglected pugs. Midwest Pug Rescue - MN Division works to raise public awareness of the plight of homeless animals through our various community events. We are an all-volunteer organization of pug lovers who are dedicated to the breed with the goal of providing fairy tail endings for our curly tailed friends.
Shop AmazonSmile and help raise funds for MN-MPR (make sure
to choose "Midwest Pug Rescue - Minnesotadivsion" as the
charitable organization for the funds to get to us!)
Get $10 off any BarkBox subscription and support our rescue!
For every coupon used on BarkBox.com, our rescue will get a
$10 donation from BarkBox. Be sure to use our special promo code: MIDWPBBX1
What is BarkBox? BarkBox is a New York City based dog-lovin'
company that sends high quality dog products to your pup every month. Each box is full of 4-6 goodies like bones, bully sticks, toys, treats, gadgets,
shampoos, hygiene products, and more.
Adopting a shelter or a rescue dog is a wonderful experience. It is important to be ready for the responsibility
of being a pet owner. Many people adopt or rescue a dog without considering the long term costs associated
with owning a dog. Unfortunately, a good percentage of adopted dogs end up where they started.
It is important to remember that adopting a dog is a significant decision.
The dog is counting on you to be his forever owner. Use our pet calculator to determine an
approximate cost of owning a dog.
**If you have found a lost/stray pug**:Please contact your local animal shelters and veterinarians offices prior to contacting
MN Midwest Pug Rescue.
Quite often, owners of lost pets have contacted these agencies looking for their pets.
Additionally, shelters and veterinarians can scan the pet to see if it is micro chipped and
reunite it with its owner.
Due to many city ordinances and laws the pug must be at the local shelter for a specified number
of days before the rescue can step in and take the dog. Please consider taking the dog to the local shelter instead of your home so
that the process of either finding the owner or getting the pug into rescue can be expedited.
As a rescue we work with many of the shelters and may be able to pull the pug from the shelter after the initial hold period.

Sacramento is in the midst of its best stretch of the season, winning four of five, and is coming off a 106-101 victory over West-leading Oklahoma City on Thursday. Tyreke Evans scored 22 points while DeMarcus Cousins added 19 points and nine rebounds. The Kings (10-16) scored 28 points off 23 turnovers and had 17 offensive rebounds. It was the third time in four games they topped 100 points after reaching that mark just twice in the previous 22 games. "We've improved as a team, we're on the right path now," Cousins said. "We're a lot better than our record shows. We've grown so much from the team we used to be." Cousins and Evans have both taken steps forward under coach Keith Smart. Cousins, who clashed with Paul Westp...

Sun's Simon Phipps explains the move to GPL Java, and defends Sun's motives for protecting Java from corruption as long as was necessary. We'll teach you how to access databases asynchronously from Qt 4.x, which is a big improvement over default Qt 4.x database handling.
As always, there's much more. We'll take a look at the compact but powerful lua, a language so flexible even Blizzard uses it to allow players to extend World of Warcraft. And Christof Wittig is back with Ted Neward to explain the impedence mismatch between object-oriented languages and relational databases.

The word is actually from greek. The interpretation that it refers to the highest kind of love, as opposed to philia or eros, is mostly Christian in origin. The word is not much found in extant ancient greek texts.
Eros is explicitly sexual whereas philia is love as in brotherly love. The highest kind of love, agape, would be of an unconditional and sacrificial nature, such as the Christ's sacrifice on the cross.

The BEST for removing all makeup! It does leave my skin drier than the DHC oil, but I like the fact it's more natural. The bottle does tend to get messy & I think it should come in a dark bottle instead of clear (like lush bottles) to preserve the oil better.

The bbq is quick to assemble and operates from standard threaded disposable gas cartridges. A carrying bag is included for easy transportation.
