ICE DETECTOR Filed Jan. 10, 1951 Irfiventor: Theodor-e TQTimbie His; ACE orney.
Unircf States Patent ICE DETECTOR Theodore R. Tirnbie, Winchester, Mass., assignor to General Electric Company, a corporation of New York Application January 10, 1951, Serial No. 205,326 3 Claims. (Cl. 340-234) This invention relates to apparatus for determining when atmospheric conditions are favorable for the formation of ice on moving or stationary objects such as wings and other external parts of an aircraft, and more particularly to apparatus for detecting the presence of ice formation in an inlet duct to an aircraft powerplant.
Aircraft powerplants must be capable of operation under Widely varying atmospheric conditions, for example, at or near sea level in tropic regions where the temperature is relatively high and at extremely high altitudes where the ambient temperature is sufliciently low to freeze any moisture particles which may be contained in the air taken into the induction system of the powerplant. While the invention may be used in connection with any type of powerplant where ice formation at the inlet thereto is a troublesome problem, the invention is particularly suited for use in a powerplant of the type described in a co-pending application of Alan Howard, S. N. 541,565, filed June 22, 1944, now Patent No. 2,711,074, and assigned to the assignee of the present application. Such a powerplant comprises an air compressor, a gas turbine for driving the compressor, combustion apparatus utiliz ing compressed air supplied thereto by the compressor to provide heated motive fluid under pressure for driving the turbine, and a nozzle which utilizes hot gases discharged from the turbine to provide a propulsion jet. A powerplant of the type described operates generally as follows: Air enters the forward end or inlet of the com pressor. This air is then compressed by the compressor and is delivered to the combustion apparatus where it is heated by the addition of fuel. The heated air serves as motive fluid for driving the turbine which in turn drives the compressor, and the fluid discharged from the turbine is then discharged through the propulsion nozzle as a jet for propulsion of an aircraft.
If the inlet to such a powerplant becomes restricted due to the accumulation of ice therein, the operation of the powerplant is adversely affected since the quantity of airflow to the powerplant is reduced. This reduction in air flow not only reduces the thrust or power output of the powerplant, but may, due to the fact that a reduced quantity of air is flowing through the combustion apparatus, cause the temperatures in the turbine and other portions of the powerplant to rise to such values as to render unsafe continued operation under such conditions, and may cause complete destruction of the powerplant.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide novel and improved means for detecting an incipent icing condition of the atmosphere and for giving an indication thereof.
A further object of the invention is to provide improved apparatus for detecting ice formation in the induction system of an aircraft powerplant and which will operate to warn the powerplant operator of the icing condition, or will automatically start the operation of de-icing appa ratus, or both.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic view of a simplified arrangement of apparatus em bodying the principles of my invention; Fig. 2 is a diagrammatic view, partly in section, showing a modified form of the invention installed in the induction system of an aircraft powerplant, and Fig. 3 is a partly sectionalized view of a modification of structure in the invention shown in Fig. 2.
Referring now to Fig. 1, my improved ice detecting apparatus comprises a pair of impact tubes 10, 11 connected to a diiferential pressure gage 12 by connecting tubing 13, 14, respectively. One skilled in the art will recognize that an impact tube is a well-known type of device for measuring the dynamic pressure of fluid flowing relative to the impact tube. For reasons which will become apparent as the description proceeds, impact tubes 10 and 11 are substantially identical with respect to internal shapes and dimensions. In order to cause a small flow through a portion of impact tubes 10, 11, discharge orifices 15, 16 respectively, are provided at a location remotely spaced from the open end of the respective impact tubes. The size, that is, the flow area of discharge openings 15, 16 is not critical, but for reasons that will appear presently, it may be desirable to make the flow area of discharge orifices 15, 16, relatively small as compared to the cross sectional area of impact tubes 10, 11.
It is a feature of the invention that the rate of flow through orifice 15 is caused to be the same as the rate of flow through orifice 16, and therefore the pressure within tube 16 is equal to the pressure within tube 11. Therefore, the internal shapes and dimensions of impact tubes 10, 11, the spacing of discharge orifices 15, 16 with respect to the open end portions of impact tubes 10, 11, and the flow area of orifices 15 and 16 are made substantially identical. it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that such an arrangement makes the operation of my invention insensitive to changes in altitude or airspeed, or, in other words, my improved apparatus will function satisfactorily irrespective of changes in altitude or variations in operating speed of an aircraft in which the apparatus is installed.
Furthermore, in certain instances it may be desirable, although not absolutely essential, that discharge orifices 15, 16 be arranged to discharge fluid in substantially the same direction and parallel to the flow of fluid that enters the open end portions of impact tubes 19, 11.
While the size of discharge orifices 15, 16 is not critical, these orifices should be of relatively small cross sectional flow area as compared to the cross sectional area of impact tubes 18, 11, in order to provide a 1 ressure drop between the pressure of the fluid contained within impact tubes 10, 11 and the static pressure of the ambient atmosphere in the region adjacent to discharge orifices i5, 16. As previously indicated, the impact tubes 10, 11 should be identical as to internal shapes and dimensions and in addition, while the flow area of discharge orifices 15, 16 is not critical, the area of the discharge orifices should be substantially identical so that substantially equal quantities of fluid will be discharged from orifices 15, 16 respectively, and so that the pressure of the fluid contained within impact tubes 10, 11 Will be substantially equal. Thus it will be seen that with no ice formation existing at the entrance portion to impact tubes 10, 13, the amount of fluid flowing through the forward portions of the impact tubes and discharged from discharge orifices 15, 16 will be substantially identical and the pressure of the fluid contained within the impact tubes will be identical so that the difierential pressure gage will indicate no pressure differential. As previously indicated, this gage will indicate no pressure dilferential regardless of the altitude or airspeed of an aircraft in which the device may be installed.
In addition to the previously indicated limitations with respect to the location of discharge orifices 15, 16, it is desirable to locate these orifices at any convenient location where there will be no tendency for the discharge orifices to become blocked. a
It is also a feature of the invention that one of the impact tubes it is allowed to accumulate any ice formation which may tend to occur, while the other impact tube 11 is provided with means for preventing such formation at the entranec thereto. To this end, I provide means for heating the forward portion of impact tube 11, that is, the portion between the open end portion and the discharge orifice 16 to prevent the formation of ice within the tube during any condition of operation. As illustrated in the drawing, one such heating means may comprise a wire or heating element 17 surrounding and in contact with the wall of impact tube 11. The wire or heating element 17 is connected to battery terminals 18, 19. The battery supplies suflicient electIical energy to heating element 17 to prevent any moisture which may be contained in the ambient atmosphere from freezing on the exposed surfaces of impact tube 11.
If, during the operation of the device, atmospheric conditions become favorable to the formation of ice, ice particles will first begin to form at the entrance to impact tube 19 as indicated at lfla. As ice particles begin to accumulate in this region, a greater restriction is presented to the flow of atmospheric fluid through impact tube and discharge orifice than is the case with fluid which flows through impact tube 11 and discharge orifice 16 since impact tube 11 is protected against ice formation. Therefore, there will be a difference in the quantity of flow discharged from orifices 16 and 15 and, because of the restriction at itla in the entrance portion of impact tube 14), the pressure of the fluid contained withinimpact tube 10 will no longer equal the pressure in unrestricted impact tube 11, and the differential pressure gage will now indicate some difference in pressure.
Such a difference in pressure serves as a warning to the operator of a power plant that an icing condition exists at the inlet of the powerplant before any ice formation can accumulate to a sufficient degree to cause dam age to the powerplant.
Referring now to Fig. 2 a modified embodiment of the invention illustrated in Fig. l is shown installed at the inlet of a ga turbine powerplant provided with means for de-icing exposed portions of the powerplant on which ice accumulations are likely to occur. Like elements bear the same notation as the corresponding elements in Fig. 1. A pressure switch 20 replaces differential pressure gage 12. As illustrated in the drawings, pressure switch 20 is arranged to close electrical contacts 21, 22 when the pressures within tubes 1t 11 are unbalanced thereby en'- ergizing an electrically operated warning lamp, buzzer, or any other desired type of electrically energized warning device 23.
The compressor section of such a powerplant comprises a stator 24, a rotor having a plurality of wheel or disk members 25 to which are secured a plurality of moving blades 26, and an inlet passageway 28. A plurality of inlet guide vanes 27 are provided in the inlet passageway 23 to direct fluid at the proper angle to the first row of moving blades 26.
To support vanes 27, inner and outer shroud bands 29, 30 are provided. The inner and outer bands are punched to receive the outer ends of vanes 27 which project entirely through the inner and outer bands. Since ice tends to accumulate on the guide vanes under adverse weather conditions, heated fluid is supplied thereto by conduit 31 to prevent such accumulation. Vanes 27 are hollow, having a passageway 32 extending therethrough as indicated by the broken lines 32a, 32b. Vanes 27 are secured to bands 29, 30 by welding or in any other desired manner that will not obstruct the flow of fluid through passageway 32. The outer end portions of vanes 27 are connected in parallel flow relation by the provision of a U-shaped member 33 secured to band 39 to form a type of manifold communicating with the passageway 32 of each of the several vanes 27. Walls 34, 35 of the inlet passageway 23 are provided with recessed portions 36, 37, respectively, for locating and securing the vane and band assembly in spaced relation with respect to the first row of moving blades 26. Conduit 31 registers with an opening 38 in U-shaped member 33 to establish a continuous flow path from conduit 31 through passageways 32 in guide vanes 27.
At all times during the operation of the powerplant, a relatively small amount of heated fluid is supplied to vanes 27. This fluid flows through hollow passageways 32 and is discharged therefrom into a chamber 39. A seal 40 is secured to one end of band 29 to control the leakage from chamber 39 into the passageway 23 of the compressor. It will be obvious that control of this leakage also controls the amount of heated fluid flowing through hollow passageways 32. Under ordinary operating conditions, a relatively small flow of heated fluid will keep the vanes 27 sufficiently warm to prevent any appreciable ice formation thereon. When adverse or extremely unusual icing conditions are encountered, it may be desirable to increase the quantity of flow and the velocity of the heated fluid in passageway 32 to increase the rate of heat transfer through vanes 27. To this end, a strut member 41 having an internal passageway 42 therein is provided. Strut member 41 extends in a substantially radial direction between Walls 34, 35 with the inner end of passage- Way 42 in communication with chamber 39 as indicated in the drawing. The outer end of passageway 42 is connected to a valve 43 by conduit 44.
Under most conditions of operation, valve 43 is in tended to remain closed, but, when adverse weather conditions are encountered valve 43 is open to augment the rate heat transfer to vanes 27 in the manner previously described. Such a de-icing apparatus is described with greater particularity in a co-pending application of Neil Burgess, Serial No. 134,024, filed December 16, 1949, and assigned to the assignee of the present application.
Although not necessarily limited thereto, my invention is readily adaptable for use with such a tie-icing system. For example, the embodiment of the invention shown in Fig. 1 may be employed to control the operation of valve 43. Valve 43 may be of any well-known type of electrically actuated valve, for example, a solenoid operated valve. In such case, the valve is arranged to be closed during periods when no electrical energy is applied to the solenoid, and open when the solenoid is energized.
Impact tubes 10, 11 are installed at the entrance to or in passageway 28 at any convenient location and at the upstream side of guide vanes 27. Terminals 4-5, 46 of solenoid valve 43 are then electrically connected to battery terminals 18, 19 with switch contacts 21, 22 in series with connection 46.
Operation of the ice detecting apparatus is as described in the preceding case. Upon the formation of ice particles at theentrance to impact tube It), the pressures in impact tubes 10 and 11 will become unbalanced, thus causing switch contacts 21, 22 to become closed in the manner previously described. When contacts 21, 22 are in the closed position, solenoid valve 43 is electrically connected to battery terminals 18, 19 thus causing the valve to open and augment the quantity and the velocity of the heating fluid flowing through passages 32 to increase the heat transfer to vanes 27 in the manner previously described.
Fig. 2 also shows an additional improvement over the elementary arrangement illustrated in Fig. 1. it may be desirable to provide means for de-icing impact tube 10, which is not heated during the normal operation, after the apparatus has been subjected to atmospheric icing conditions so that impact tube has become partially clogged with ice as indicated at 5.0a. A wire or heating element 17a, similar to 17, surrounds the wall of impact tube 10 adjacent the open end portion thereof. Electrical energy for heating element 17a is also obtained from battery terminals 18, 19. However, since no heating of impact tube 19 is desired during normal operation, heating element 17a is connected in series with normally open switch terminals 47, 48 to battery terminals 18, 19 instead of connecting elements 17a and 17 in parallel with battery terminals 18, 19.
During operation of the apparatus, an atmospheric icing condition is indicated by the existence of the pressure differential as previously described in connection with Fig. 1. As impact tube 10 becomes restricted to a greater degree due to the accumulation of more and more ice particles, the magnitude of the pressure differential will increase. After icing conditions have been encountered to the extent that unheated tube 10 had become completely or substantially clogged with ice or after any icing condition has been encountered, tube 10 can be de-iced by closing switch terminals 47, 48 until any ice particles which may have accumulated at the open end portion thereof have become melted so that the apparatus is thereby made ready to detect further icing conditions. When the pressure diflerential becomes reduced to zero or substantially thereto thus indicating that tube 10 is no longer clogged, the heat supplied to impact tube 10 can be discontinued by re-opening switch terminals 47, 48.
Fig. 3 illustrates another embodiment of a means for de-icing impact tube 10. In this embodiment of the invention, heating element 17a is replaced by an annular wall portion 49 adjacent the open end portion of impact tube 10. Wall portion 49 is concentric with and spaced from the outer wall of tube 10 to form an annular passageway 50. One end portion of passageway 50 is closed by the provision of a wall portion 51 which is secured to tube 10 in any convenient manner, for example, by welding. Heated fluid for de-icing tube 10 is supplied to passageway 50 in a manner to be described hereinafter.
In order to improve the rate of heat transfer from the heated fluid to the wall of tube 10, the left-hand end portion of wall portion 49 is necked down to form a restricted annular opening 52 surrounding the wall of impact tube Iii.
In order to establish communication between passageway 50 and a source of supply of heater fluid, conduit 53 is provided to connect passageway 50 to conduit 31, and valve 54 is provided to control the flow of heated fluid therethrough.
In operation, the operator opens valve 54 allowing heated fluid to flow from conduit 31 through conduit 53 and passageway 50 whenever it is desired to remove any ice particles which may have accumulated at 10a. After tube 10 has been de-iced, as indicated by substantially zero pressure differential, the flow of heated fluid to passageway 50 is discontinued by closing valve 54 thereby making the apparatus again ready to detect further icing conditions.
Thus it will be seen that the invention provides a simple and effective warning device for detecting incipient icing conditions as well as an automatic means for starting the operating of de-icing apparatus in an aircraft powerplant in response to such operating conditions.
While particular embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention, and it is intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that come within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Each year in South Carolina, contaminated or spoiled food leads to more than a million cases of foodborne illness (often called food poisoning) and more than $2 billion in costs, including doctor visits, medicine, lost work days, and other expenses.
Foodborne illnesses often occur in children, and mishandled food can lead to illness, hospitalization, and even death.
DHEC's Role
DHEC inspects more than 18,000 retail food establishments statewide and issues permits to new facilities prior opening. Retail food establishments include operations such as restaurants, grocery stores, food trucks, schools and other institutions. Risk-based inspections are conducted at each establishment in the state annually or quarterly, based on an establishment's food processes and their compliance history.
DHEC also regulates food safety for dairy and manufactured food operations and shellfish harvesting areas to ensure that oysters, clams and mussels are safe for human consumption.
The agency also provides a wide variety of information and resources to help protect the public from potential food safety factors at home and while eating out.

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
In case you needed a reminder of the march of time, next year will mark the 25th anniversary of Batman Returns, which could explain why we're seeing so much new merchandise tied to the Tim Burton film. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, because it means we get products like that realistic Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman statue, and now this 18-inch action figure from NECA.
If you plan to attend Comic-Con International in July, your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-loving friends will soon be hounding you to pick up these convention-exclusive action figure box sets. They're probably already laying the groundwork with offers to drive you to the airport or to feed your pets while you're gone. Just so you know, there's an ulterior motive …
Produced by NECA, the figures are based on Konami's 1989 Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles arcade game, which longtime fans could probably tell without even looking at the game-screen backdrop. (Note the "pixelated" details on each of the figures.)
If you still have space in your home (and money in your bank account) after buying that life-size Batman, life-size Harley Quinn and life-size Slimer, then a.) wow, nice house, and b.) hold onto that job, because NECA is about to release a life-size Deadpool foam replica.
Unfortunately, there are no final-product images available, but we do have concept art and details, courtesy of BigBadToyStore. Based on Marvel's Merc with a Mouth (alas, not Ryan Reynolds), this 6-foot replica is made of hand-painted foam rubber and latex.
If you're worried the life-size foam replica of Batman you ordered will make your home Batcave feel off-balance, NECA has a solution: a life-size statue of Harley Quinn.
Showcased earlier this month at Toy Fair in New York City, the 5-foot 11-inch figure is based on the fan-favorite character's appearance in the 2011 video game Batman: Arkham City.
You'll soon be able to wage war against the Covenant astride your motorcycle, thanks to this Halo Master Chief replica helmet.
Produced by NECA, this Department of Transportation-approved helmet is of course based on the one worn by Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 in the blockbuster video game franchise.
In case that jumbo Deadpool just isn't big enough for your tastes — or your spacious shelves! — NECA has released official photos of its upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight 1/4th-scale action figure. I'll save you the math: It's a whopping 18 inches tall.
Unlike that retro Deadpool figure, this plus-sized Batman is thoroughly modern, with more than 25 points of articulation. Arriving in July, it comes with interchangeable hands, a Batarang, a grapnel gun and a fabric cape.
Legendary comics writer Stan Lee, The Simpsons creator Matt Groening and Batman star Adam West are among the fifth wave of action figures in NECA's limited-edition Simpsons collection celebrating "25 of the Greatest Guest Stars."
They appear alongside musicians Lenny Kravitz and Tom Petty, joining a lineup that includes the likes of Stephen King, Leonard Nimoy, R.E.M., Mark Hamill, Lucy Lawless and Tom Hanks. Launched in 2014, the boutique collection releases a new wave every two to three months, available at select retailers.
Retailing | A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order halting the $21.4 million purchase of retail chain Hastings Entertainment by Joel Weinshanker, president and sole shareholder of Wizkids parent National Entertainment Collectibles Association. The order was granted at the request of two Hastings shareholders who sued to stop the sale, insisting the price paid for the retailer is too low; it will remain in effect until a hearing can be held on June 12. Hastings issued a statement Monday pledging to "vigorously dispute these claims." Hastings operates a chain of 149 stores that sells books, comics, video games and more. [Amarillo Globe-News, via ICv2]
Retailing | Amazon may be charging full price for Hachette's graphic novels as part of its continuing contract dispute with the publisher, but Barnes & Noble has leaped into the breach with big discounts and a buy-two-get-one-free promotion on Hachette's Yen Press manga and Little, Brown's Tintin books.

Product Description
Difranco,Ani ~ To The Teeth
The follow-up to the ambitious Up Up Up Up Up Up finds the prolific Ani DiFranco striving to expand the range of her brand of do-it-yourself folk. Here she incorporates organ, clarinet, megaphone, and even an ill-advised rap courtesy of Corey Parker, whose father, former James Brown sideman Maceo, contributes saxophone to a few tracks. DiFranco, meanwhile, handles her usual array of instruments, taking on bass, drums, guitar, and, of course, vocals. That voice has changed since her 1990 debut. A smoky quality adds a layer of expression and maturity to still-angry protestations such as the title track and its whispery counterpoint, "Back Back Back." There's even an appearance here from the Unpronounceable One, a.k.a. the Artist, who lends his distinctive voice to the alternately dense and quiet "Providence." Regardless of guest appearances and new vocal and instrumental colors, however, DiFranco's ace remains the quiet, confessional tone she brings to introspective songs such as "I Know This Bar." The sound of her fingers sliding from one warm chord to the next is DiFranco at her strongest. Matthew Cooke

She offers a wide musical variety. She combines rock, folk, pop, and funk. Her use of woodwind and brass instruments give a new, pleasing, and evolving touch to her tracks. Her guitar efforts more than accents her musical style, she also expresses her feelings through it. Few other guitarists have mastered this difficult task. She also plays the bass, the drums, and the keyboards on many tracks brilliantly. Despite such expressed anger, her voice remains beautiful, never losing its soul for a second. Such showcased talent proves that she is one of the best musicians of today.
Sadly, she's also one of the most underrated musicians in music history. "To the Teeth" proves that she continues to evolve as an artist through every album release. This is one of her most personal albums to date. All Ani DiFranco and soft rock fans will enjoy this album. Those that like her introduced woodwind and brass instrument sound will also enjoy her newest album "Evolve". That is the next step from such style...wonderful as always.
A lot of you are saying that you "used to be Ani fans" until you heard this record. Why? Because you want her to be writing songs like "Fire Door" throughout her entire career? Grow up! That's what she did. Her older stuff was fine and wonderful, and I love it to death, but as a musician, to keep it interesting for yourself and others... you have to start experimenting with different styles! Why do you think Sting and Eric Clapton are still around?
She's Ani. She does everything with a LOT of class and dignity. Anything she puts on a record is going to sound fantastic, because as a fan, I completely trust her judgement with what sounds good. Wanna know why? Because everything she's ever come out with has so much beauty and spirit. Some of it is obvious, and some of it you need to look for it. She wouldn't be such a fantastic songwriter and musician if every single one of her songs were so blatantly overwhelming in the same style every time. She needs diversity.
I absolutely love this album. There is an imminent beauty in the jazzy ensembles. "Providence" is an especially touching song. Not too many people comment on it... the duet she did with Prince (then known as the "Artist..."). Powerful, powerful song. So is "Wish I May". Also a lot of people tend to overlook "Cloud Blood" and "Carry You Around". Both of these are masterpieces. Cloud Blood is a massive lyrical vortex... with such incredible intensity. Carry You Around has got a MAD beat.
So... what do I say? As a TRUE "die hard" Ani fan... put a little more faith into her ability as a songwriter. You'd be surprised with how much you will appreciate what you notice.
This is the album that Up and Castles wanted to be, tried to be. Or maybe that I wanted them to be. This is the album that has been coming ever since the evolution began, since the queen of folk/punk started playing with jazz/funk arrangements, since she toned down the lyrics (in volume and tone, not in content. I'm learning nowadays that when Ani's being quiet, that's when to watch for flying objects.) This is the culmination, or maturation, of the (r)evolution.
Simply put, this album is excellent. From track one to I Know This Bar, there's hardly a forgettable track on the whole piece of plastic. That's freaking amazing. Personal favorites -- ones I play over and over and over again -- are Wish I May (perhaps the most despairing song ever), Freak Show, and Swing.
All of Ani's albums are good -- meaning better than the average folk/rock album -- but this is one of her best. And that's saying plenty.
This is a beautiful album from beginning to end. Highlights are the title track (nowadays, when Ani's being quiet, watch out.), Wish I May (perhaps the most despairing song I've ever heard. "This is not who I meant to be/This is not how I meant to feel.) Freak Show (scream it, girl.) and Swing (totally, totally fun. I love this new funk groove feel.)
But really, so much of it is good. I didn't even mention Providence or I Know this Bar or Arrivals Gate. Damn, what a good album. Buy this one.
In my opinion, there are three essential Ani albums: Out of Range, Dilate, and now this one. It's that good....

Hi everyone,
Which way is best to load the theme's main style.css? There are two options that work:
1) Code directly into the
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php get_stylesheet_uri(); ?>" />
2) or enqueue it via functions.php
function add_stuff() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'theme-style', get_stylesheet_uri() );
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_stuff' );
I've tried both and they both work. Coding it into
<head> seems to work just fine, but doing it via functions.php applies an additional id to the generated
<link /> as well as appends
?ver=3.6 to the end of the stylesheet path. All together, the generated link looks like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" id="theme-style-css" href="http://localhost/themedev/wp-content/themes/test/style.css?ver=3.6" type="text/css" media="all">
Is the version number not a security risk, even if a minor one? I guess I'm just really curious about the pros or cons...or if it truly doesn't matter in the slightest.

Put Me in Coach: John Fogerty Talks New Album and "Centerfield"
With Wrote a Song for Everyone, John Fogerty has released one of the summer's most outright fun albums. A collection of some of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's famous songs, both solo and with Creedence Clearwater Revival, the project features duets with Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Zac Brown Band and other country and rock stars.
But there's one hit John didn't include: the baseball anthem "Centerfield" (maybe for Vol. 2?). We asked him about the impact that song has had on sports fans.

Keith Hasson, Most-Wanted Kingpin of $20 Million Drug Ring, Busted by U.S. Marshal in Woodland Hills
These larger-than-life crime bosses, man -- they sure love to play house among the L.A. gentry. Whitey Bulger, before last week's big FBI bust, chose to spend post-mafia life strolling Santa Monica's Promenade, scaring off nice old ladies in his sunny retirement community.
Now the feds have nabbed a second most-wanted man -- this time, in the suburban paradise of Woodland Hills. Keith Hasson is half Whitey's age, but he's made his 45 years count. Let's just say if you found yourself credit-card-and-mirroring it anytime in the early aughts (ahem, Paris Hilton), you're probably familiar with his work.
Hasson was hiding out...
... in an apartment at Shoup Avenue and Victory Boulevard when he was arrested yesterday, CBS LA reports. According to his "15 Most Wanted" listing with the U.S. Marshals Service, the 45-year-old was kingpin to a nationwide cocaine and marijuana ring, among other big no-nos:
HASSON is considered to be the leader/organizer of a criminal enterprise which was responsible for large scale distribution of cocaine and marijuana throughout the United States. HASSON's organization operated from 1999 through 2005, generating over $20,000,000 in cash and assets. HASSON has an extensive criminal history to include arrests for attempted murder, robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, vehicle theft, burglary, and possession with intent to distribute.

And unlike Whitey, Hasson looked the part: six feet tall, 175 pounds with tattoos up both arms. Would it be bad to call him Blacky? Only out of affection, of course. That strange affection we feel for real-life Pacinos who show up in our least hardcore parts.

TAMPA, Fla. -- The drive for five spun off the road for Freddy Garcia on Saturday afternoon at Steinbrenner Field.
In his second-to-last start of the spring, Garcia -- locked into a tight competition with Sergio Mitre and Bartolo Colon for the fifth spot in the New York Yankees' rotation -- allowed five runs on five hits, one of them a colossal two-run homer by David Cooper, in six innings to bloat his spring training ERA to 5.93.
"Whatever happens after today, I don't know," Garcia said. "That's not on me. I pitched today, I tried to do the best I can do out there, throw a lot of strikes, go after hitters. That's the only thing I can do. It's not my decision."
Joe Girardi said one bad start would not necessarily doom Garcia's chances, but, in fact, it was Garcia's second straight subpar outing. On March 13, Garcia was rocked for four runs on six hits and two walks by the Minnesota Twins.
Meanwhile, Colon, trying to return to the major leagues after a nearly 18-month absence caused by injuries, is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in three starts. Mitre, despite missing a few days with an oblique strain, is 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA after four appearances, but just one start.
Garcia retired the first nine Blue Jays he faced Saturday but got into trouble in the fourth inning, allowing three runs on a double, two singles, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly. He settled down to pitch a clean fifth, including two strikeouts -- he had six in six innings -- but couldn't get a 3-2 slider past Cooper, who crushed it into the pavilion above and well beyond the right-field bleachers.
"He looked like he was gonna get out of it, but he hung a slider and that was that," Girardi said. "Home run. He didn't give up a lot of hits but the hits that they had were very productive."
Garcia got a bad break when Eduardo Nuñez, an infielder by trade playing left field, couldn't quite get to a fly ball that dropped on the warning track for a double that might have been caught for the first out of the inning. But an inning earlier, Nuñez had saved Garcia with a terrific over-the-shoulder catch of a similar fly ball for the third out.
"I'm not gonna make too much of one start," Girardi said, drawing out the word "too" to indicate he couldn't completely dismiss it, either. "But obviously you have to continue to make pitches in this league, there's no doubt about it. The quality of pitches have to always be there. But he left some balls up and one down and in and it cost him."
Garcia won 12 games for the White Sox last year but came to camp as a non-roster invitee with just a minor-league deal that will pay him $1.5 million if he makes the team and could pay him as much as $3.6 million in incentives if he makes 30 starts.
He may also request his release if he is not on the active roster on March 29, the day the Yankees break camp.
Saturday, Garcia indicated that for him, it is win that last starting job or bolt.
"If I don't make the team, what am I supposed to do in Triple-A?," he said. "I'm 34 years old, I been in the business for a long time. I've said it before, if I don't make this team, I'll probably [make it] somewhere, because there's a lot of people out there who've seen me pitch.
"My goal is to make the team. But it's out of my hands. I didn't pitch the way I wanted to pitch, but that's the way it is."
• • •
Alex Rodriguez continued his sizzling spring with a first-inning double that extended his RBI streak to six games, his hit streak to 12 spring games and his Grapefruit League average to .412. He scored on Robinson Cano's first spring home run of the season. ... Derek Jeter, hitting .351, went 3-for-4, including a double into the right-center gap that might have been his best hit ball of the spring so far. ... Mariano Rivera was ridiculously dominant again, needing just 11 pitches to get through the seventh, including two K's. ... Mark Prior pitched a scoreless eighth, including two strikeouts. His spring ERA is down to 1.59. ... The game was called a 5-5 tie after 10 innings, the Yankees' third tie this spring. ... CC Sabathia gets the ball Sunday against the Phillies in Clearwater (1:05 p.m., WCBS-AM 880 only). RHP Joe Blanton goes for the Phillies, and all the Yankees' regulars minus Jorge Posada are on the travel roster.

Little Chandler Bing
Do you remember the episode of FRIENDS where Chandler and Monica take engagement photos and Chandler is unable to produce a natural looking smile? Well, lately this has been happening to my son. His natural smiling abilities go in and out and when they do, we get pics like these:
To be fair, we did take loads and loads of pics last week while we were away and many of them did come out great. But going through all the pics when we came home has been quite comical. And it reminded me so much of Chandler Bing and that super funny episode where he struggled with smiling.
I think I may need to see that episode again...How did they solve that problem?

Cover Reveal - Venture Forward
Raw. Cold. Detached. Domineering…
Paul Emerson lives life like he f*cks. It's the only way to survive, to battle the demons forever lurking in his subconscious, to resist succumbing to the darkness that perpetually overshadows his existence. As a ruthless venture capitalist with an insatiable appetite for power and control, he has no tolerance for emotion or any tryst spanning more than a few hours. Feelings equate to weakness and weakness destroys livelihoods.
Driven. Focused. Bitter. Guilty…
Avery Hunter is tormented by what she can't change, but letting go is never the preferred option. Her successes aren't nearly enough to fill the gaping void in her heart and soul. No, revenge always begets satisfaction and fulfillment…except when it extinguishes the last source of brightness in her life. Karma is a bitch and irony is her evil twin sister.
Damaged. Rejected. Broken…
The woman who harbors and the man who resists. With so much baggage and even more angst, can their wounded souls finally find solace in one another? Or is their future happiness doomed to be ravaged by the lies and deceit that litter their pasts?

I attended a conference at this hotel. I had initially planned to stay at the Crowne Plaza, but was put off by several things. I am glad that I stayed at another hotel. The reservation staff at the Crowne Plaza was not very helpful when I called about making a reservation. The hotel was pricey even with the conference discount. Since the hotel charges $20 per day for parking, I asked whether there were other parking options in the area. The staff member said that there probably were but was unable to give me information about other parking.
I stayed at a nearby hotel. The room cost was 60% less. On top of that, the other hotel had free parking, free breakfast and helpful staff.
The Crowne Plaza did a poor job of planning the conference rooms. The doors and walls let sound through so that we had a contend with a lot of background noise. A group of Christian Chiropractors had their conference in an area next to a room where I attended about half of my conference events. We were only separated from the Chiropractor group by one of those thin flexible room dividers. The Chiropractor group frequently sang loud hymns, not always on key or exactly in unison. We spoke to the hotel staff and to the chiropractor group but nothing could be done about the sound situation or the frequent loud hymn singing. I would think that if the hotel sells space to more than one group, they would consider sound issues and at least put the loud group in a separate room with real walls. (I attended a conference at a different location last year and we shared the location with a national bagpipe convention. However the location that hosted did a great job arranging things so that the sound was not a problem-we actually enjoyed the bagpipers and were invited to a bagpipe recital.)

20 yr old TB mare with two different feet
This is so typical to see in horses! One foot is very upright and "clubby" while the other is flat and either under-run or foundered. The trick is to get the contracted foot to open up while getting the flat foot to tighten up it's connection. With this mare, both feet were almost dead with very little blood circulation from years of shoes and contraction. She was very shut down and depressed with poor conditioning. This photo was taken BEFORE trimming. The clubby foot has a very contracted coffin bone that probably has a lot of bone loss.
After a few trims
Still apparent is the difference in the two feet. Since this horse has only had a couple of trims, she is still in the beginning stages of transition to health. But she has already improved in her attitude and movement.
