Report: Jimmy Graham facing a difficult injury recovery
A patellar tendon rupture is one of the most painful injuries in the world, and it's also one of the toughest to recover from. Seattle Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham has to recover from one this offseason and could see some adverse effects on the field while he regains his explosion. Patellar tendon ruptures are an injury where the tendon at the front of the knee tears completely...

Will Jimmy Graham Be The Premier Tight End In The NFL That He Is Expected To Be?
Jimmy Graham had a questionable season as a tight end for his first year in Seattle. Fans, coaches, and his new teammates all expected to see an explosive spectacle from the new tight end, but he barely out shined Luke Willson, who he replaced in the starting lineup. The six foot seven, 265 pound tight end was expected to out match defenders with his size and speed (4.6 forty yard...

WATCH: Jimmy Graham suffers serious leg injury vs Steelers
Jimmy Graham suffered a serious leg injury in the Seattle Seahawks' game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Graham was going for a pass in the fourth quarter of the game and his right leg got caught under his body awkwardly. Here is video of the play: Graham was carted off the field and taken in for examination. There is no official word yet but it would be natural...

Have the Seahawks forgotten about Jimmy Graham?
Question: If you had Jimmy Graham, what would you do? Hand the football off to him. Use him primarily as a blocker. Throw him the damn football. If you chose option one, it'd still make more sense than option two — the choice Seattle has made through the first two weeks of the NFL season. So far, Graham has accumulated 10 targets, 7 receptions, 62 yards, and 1 TD. Care...

Graham laughs off idea that he was ever upset with the Seahawks
Is Seattle Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham p****d off or not? Reports surfaced earlier this week that indicated that Graham was ticked because he was underutilized, only garnering two targets which resulted in one catch in last Sunday's road loss to the Green Bay Packers. When Graham addressed the press on Friday and was asked about how mad he actually is, he responded with...

Jimmy Graham frustrated after 1-catch game in loss
You mean to tell me that an All-Pro tight end was frustrated after he was only targeted twice in a loss that dropped his team to 0-2? Now there's a shocker! Jimmy Graham only caught one pass for 11 yards as his Seahawks lost to the Green Bay Packers 27-17 on Sunday night. He was only targeted twice in the game as the offense didn't muster much.

Report: Jimmy Graham frustrated with role in Seattle
The Seattle Seahawks obviously have bigger fish to fry after dropping to 0-2 following a 27-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, but perhaps a source of the team's early season failings has something to do with how Jimmy Graham is being underutilized on the offensive side of the ball. And now there is a strong suspicion that the lack of involvement is causing the...

Talk:Intel QuickPath Interconnect
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Intel QuickPath Interconnect article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.

|WikiProject Computing / Hardware
|(Rated C-class, Mid-importance)
what the hell is a gigatransaction? is that like 1 million bytes bits, crispy chicken nuggets.... and how about a reference.
Historically people would use "Hertz" when refering to clocks or even data transfers. If you consider the DDR Memory bus, it transfers data on both edges of the beat clock. The current Front Side Bus is "quad pumped" which transfers on the rising edge, middle, falling edge, and middle of the beat clock.
In case of the front side bus you would say "the beat clock is running at 200MHz and the data is tranferred at 800MT/s." (MT/s = Megatransfer per second.) Since more is happening than just "bit transitions" it is more accurate to say "transfer." Data is transferring from one device to another.
I don't have a citation, just experience. --Cmiyc 18:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Referring to the gigatransaction comment above i would say that is meant to be gigatransfers--Sat84 01:44, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
Correct Name?[edit]
Some sources say that CSI stands for "Common System Interconnect" rather than "Interface". 188.8.131.52 16:41, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- Since there is no official marketing information about it yet, it's still difficult to say. However, going by the number of hits on Google right now: "Common Serial Interconnect" has about 95 hits, "Common System Interconnect" has about 109 hits, "Common System Interface" has about 9380 hits. -- Bovineone 15:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Should this article be renamed to QuickPath? The name has shown up quite a bit recently. Imperator3733 22:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
- Do you have any links? I have never heard of this name before, and the only things I could quickly find on Google were an unsourced article on some random website and an old item on the Inquirer. Neither is at all reliable. — Aluvus t/c 22:36, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
- I think it would be better to wait for some more official sources that confirm the new name. -- Bovineone 07:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
- I guess we could wait a bit to rename it Imperator3733 16:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Once this name change is confirmed and sourced, this should most certainly be changed to the new name. CSI appears to be an ambiguous acronym, as it would likely be confused with the common notation for CSI (TV show). Freedomlinux 20:54, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

"Intel first delivered it in November 2008..."
I'm not sure this is quite possible given it is still October of 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teebird04 (talk • contribs) 18:22, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Well that was me using my schizophrenic crystal ball. Intel has already delivered the X58 to motherboard manufacturers, and the motherboards are already available for sale, with a nice QuickPath connecting the X58 to the Socket B (AKA LGA1366). So, QuickPath is "delivered." However, they are worthless without the Core i7 to plug into the socket. Intel says the Core i7 will be available in November 2008.Go figure. -Arch dude (talk) 22:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Comparison to HyperTransport[edit]
It would be interesting to see a comparison to HyperTransport here. Just looking at the data here and on the HyperTransport article, I don't see why anyone would use QuickPath over HyperTransport. My best guesses are that Intel had already started work on QPI before HTX3, licensing issues, or NIH syndrome... --Aij (talk) 00:07, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
-Hypertransport 3.1 and QPI have exactly the same transfer speeds when running at 16-bit widths; HyperTransport 3.1 has a much greater theoretical transfer speed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 01:53, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
intel wanted to make their own version, which from their perspective might be better suited to their application. HyperTransport unlike QPI is an industry standard and has much more hands-on commitment from company's like IBM/AMD/Nvidia/Sun etc. i doubt qpi will amount to much as long as it isn't as open as Hypertransport. Markthemac (talk) 00:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- intel's qpi is much more restricted, this is probably due to intel wanting profit from qpi license schemes to produce chips Markthemac (talk) 00:32, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
For that matter, what are the differences between QPI and Direct Media Interface? It looks like they both accomplish the same goal of putting the memory controller on the CPU and eliminating the need for a Northbridge... 126.96.36.199 (talk) 19:09, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
Calculated bandwidth error[edit]
"Performance numbers for QuickPath are reported to be 4.8 to 6.4 Gigatransfers per second (GT/s) per direction. Therefore the bandwidth amounts to 12.0 to 16.0 GB/s per direction, or 24.0 to 32.0 GB/s per link.[7]"
The calculated bandwidth is as follows: 6.4 (GTransfer/s) * 20 (bits) * 0.8 (accounts for 8b/10b encoding) / 8 (bits/bytes) * 2 (directions) = 25.6 GB/s (per link)
Something is wrong with that author's math.
edit: That author's doesn't account for 20 bit to 16 bit conversion, which explains the difference in calculations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 01:50, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
This article
is was is still a mess[edit]
the article completely miss-charactarizes QPI, and I am partly to blame. QPI is a four-layer protocol. L1 passes 80-bit phits, L2 uses the 80-bits to convey 72-bit units (8-bit header, 64-bit payload) with an 8-bit CRC, L3 is a routing layer, and L4 is a message layer. I will try to fix this mess some tiem in the next three days. -Arch dude (talk) 23:58, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- I finally fixed the clock rate-related part of the problem, but we still need to add the protocol layer description. -Arch dude (talk) 12:55, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- I have now described the layers. It's not perfect, but it's no longer a mess. -Arch dude (talk) 17:37, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
The article still (Feb 2012) is so full of misinformation as to be near useless. It contains a significant amount of data which contradicts the Intel docs on QPI; the rest of the data seem to be flat-out fabricated. For example, QPI is not a 4 layer interconnect. --unsigned
- according to the Intel paper listed as a reference, QPI is a 5-layer interconnect, which is what the article says. If you have better references to Intel docs, please update the article. If you do not wish to update the article, feel free to just put the info here and someone else can update the article. Please identify any problems in detail. A general charge of "misinformation" is difficult to fix. It is also insulting to the contributors, who are trying their best to provide correct information. If you can do better, then please do so: Don't just complain. -Arch dude (talk) 00:08, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Alpha Development Group[edit]
The article claims that Intel Corp. acquired the Alpha Development Group from DEC. They could have only done so when DEC sold Digital Semiconductor to them in 1997. However, if I am not mistaken, the Alpha-related staff were not transferred as part of that sale. When Compaq announced they would stop Alpha development, they also said that most of the Alpha designers would go to Intel Corp. Some were retained for the Alpha 21364 and 21364A projects, some until after Compaq had merged with HP. Did Intel Corp. really get the ADG from DEC? Or from Compaq? Or neither? Rilak (talk) 08:08, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Core i5[edit]
<quote> As of 9th September 2009, Intel altered their implementation on mainstream versions of the Core i5/i7 chips (notably the i5 750, i7 860 and 870) to exclude a QPI, replacing it with a PCIe interface alongside the new Intel P55 chipset, presumably as a pre-cursor to on-die GPUs and Larrabee (GPU). <unquote>
Wrong! QPI is still used on-die (intercore and cores-to-memory interface). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stasdm (talk • contribs) 19:01, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Work in Progress[edit]
The article is a bit sloppy (no offense to anyone), but then Wikipedia is a process not a destination. I took the liberty of reorganizing some of the text, put some of the "bottom line" info up top (BLUF), and started an Implementation section to capture some of the "techotica" (which needs to be organized by someone closer to the technical knowledge), a couple of minor grammatical fixes here and there, etc. I didn't dig much deeper than the top half. Hopefully I helped more than harmed. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:28, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks! That was a definite improvement. I've made some additional changes to de-emphasize info that was of topical interest when QPI was first released. Articles related to new computer hardware are prone to this problem and need to be cleaned up after about two years. -Arch dude (talk) 23:16, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
This article is very technical, which isn't a bad thing, but there isn't much here for the layperson. I was hoping to discern why the Core i5 (with it's DMI) is better than the Core 2 Duo (FSB), and why the i7 (QPI) is better still. May I suggest a paragraph or two about why the newer processors are superior, and how exactly they differ in fuctionality. nagualdesign (talk) 23:20, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- ..Perhaps something from the first reference, An Introduction to the Intel QuickPath Interconnect, like Table 1 on page 10 along with an explanation. nagualdesign (talk) 23:54, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
- Perhaps Wikipedia should provide thsi information somewhere, but this article is not the place. The place for this informatin might be "comparison of bus architectures" or comparison of Intel system architectures." However, I may be hard to create such articles without doing original research, which is not allowed here at Wikipedia. -Arch dude (talk) 02:54, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
An image of QuickPath-design would be really helpful to differentiate this technology with the obsolete but well-known northbridge/southbridge-design. --Daan5000 (talk) 13:24, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hello! Went ahead and added an illustration... Surely not the best one possible, but still better than nothing. :) — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 13:50, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
|Although the core–uncore QPI link is not present in desktop and mobile Sandy Bridge processors (as it was on Clarkdale, for example), the internal ring interconnect between on-die cores is also based on QPI, at least as far as cache coherency is concerned.
The Ring Bus inside Sandy Bridge processors are based on QPI technology, or an enhanced version. The link, connecting Agents, is outside that ring bus, but almost another internal QPI bus. Emphasising the cache coherency would lead ambiguity. For the internal Ring Bus, one could compare a system with more processors linked with QPI bus, there one ring or more complex graph could be seen. In the Ring Bus, we could compare each stop to a local memory region of a XEON processor on a QPI bus, data request might travel through many cache slices (processors), and eventually transfer back, then a full ring would appear. QPI, itself, is not a Ring Bus, but a point-to-point, routing-based bus, similar with Hyper Transport Bus. So the Ring Bus might simplify the routing mechanism as a ring bus, for it's an internal bus, without considering too much on external world interconnection. The snooping bus within that Ring eases the System Agent to keep cache coherency. One could compare this with the back side bus within Pentium II physical package. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 08:17, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry for my delayed response. Regarding this edit and your explanation, current wording in the article is based on the page 10 in associated reference. I'd really love to see that expanded further, but the documentation describing the CPU internals seems to be rather scarce; any chances, please, for providing reliable sources to back your explanation? — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 04:57, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

The Order of Things: An Archaeology of Human Sciencesby Michel Foucault
View All Available Formats & Editions
With vast erudition, Foucault cuts across disciplines and reaches back into seventeenth
In the work that established him as the most important French thinker since Sartre, Michel Foucault offers startling evidence that "man"—man as a subject of scientific knowledge—is at best a recent invention, the result of a fundamental mutation in our culture.
With vast erudition, Foucault cuts across disciplines and reaches back into seventeenth century to show how classical systems of knowledge, which linked all of nature within a great chain of being and analogies between the stars in the heavens and the features in a human face, gave way to the modern sciences of biology, philology, and political economy. The result is nothing less than an archaeology of the sciences that unearths old patterns of meaning and reveals the shocking arbitrariness of our received truths.

Screened Porches
Screened-In Deck or Patio Enclosures
Our custom built enclosures are designed to compliment the unique characteristics of every home. We construct our deck enclosures with premium grade wood with shingled roof systems. Skylights, ceiling fans, and inlaid pine or cedar are a superior option to the typical aluminum patio enclosure.
Screened-in deck or patio enclosures offer an outside environment that is insect free and can be upgraded at any time to an all-year-round room addition.
Carousel Roof
By far the most interesting and decorative design, the carousel roof. All joists connect at a single location in the center of the room. A carousel roof, screened porch with high ceiling and multi-sided walls offers a fantistic feel and classic new England look. A ceiling fan is a great finishing touch for this room in a virtually 360º view.
Gable Roof
The gable screened porch design flows but contrasts the homes existing roofline adding a bit more complexity and drama. As with all our screened porch designs, maximum visibility of the outdoors is very important. Alowing the home owner torelax enjoying the outdoors without the hassle of insects. From early morning coffee while reading the paper to evening family time. The gable roof design screen porch follows the same objective of all Affordable Decks and Additions and that is maximum enjoyment for the home owner
Shed Roof
The studio roof style screened porch has a lower-pitched roof. Generally speaking is a inexpensive alternative to Gable and Carousel roofs. Because the design of the studio style is more accommodating, it is easily installed without the 'add-on look' and blends well with most existing roof lines.
The gable screened-in porch has a strong, pitched roof system that blends well with a home's existing roof line. Both styles can include fan beams, transoms and Low-E windows.

Twelve of us rented this property for a week in September, 2012. Based on the previous trip advisor ranking and pictures of the villa, we had high expectations of this villa. Although this villa has a lot going for it, charming building, scenic location, and lots of amenities, it suffers from lack of care and attention to the renters. Some of these (lack of screens in a very buggy climate) are common to other rentals, most are not. When we arrived, an hour before the agreed on time, we arrived at a locked gate so that we had to park on the street for an hour. When we called the in-town agent, we were told that we were an hour early and would have to wait. One gate key for an automatically closed gate with a rental for 12 travelers in four cars doesn't cut it. Only two villa key sets for a 6 bedroom villa. Locks that don't completely work. Uncut grass. A algae-infested pool. Two flimsy bath towels (more like dish towels) per room for one week. Lack of complete kitchen amenities (like matches to light the gas stove). One or two of the rooms suffered from a urine smell emanating from the drains. These were the conditions that we encountered. As we prepaid for the villa, I withheld half of the damage deposit until some of the conditions were corrected (most weren't). And this was met with some resistance/argument. (OK, I didn't expect them to correct ancient plumbing issues in one week). Bottom line? I wouldn't rent here again. Our week was pleasant, but not what it could have been.

The maximum dose of LEVITRA for which human data are available is a single 120 mg dose administered to healthy male volunteers. The majority of these subjects experienced reversible back pain/myalgia and/or "abnormal vision." Single doses up to 80 mg vardenafil and multiple doses up to 40 mg vardenafil administered once daily over 4 weeks were tolerated without producing serious adverse side effects.
When 40 mg of vardenafil was administered twice daily, cases of severe back pain were observed. No muscle or neurological toxicity was identified.
In cases of overdose, standard supportive measures should be taken as required. Renal dialysis is not expected to accelerate clearance as vardenafil is highly bound to plasma proteins and not significantly eliminated in the urine.
Administration of LEVITRA with nitrates (either regularly and/or intermittently) and nitric oxide donors is contraindicated [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Consistent with the effects of PDE5 inhibition on the nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate pathway, PDE5 inhibitors, including LEVITRA, may potentiate the hypotensive effects of nitrates. A suitable time interval following dosing of LEVITRA for the safe administration of nitrates or nitric oxide donors has not been determined.
Guanylate Cyclase (GC) Stimulators
Do not use LEVITRA in patients who are using a GC stimulator, such as riociguat. PDE5 inhibitors, including LEVITRA may potentiate the hypotensive effects of GC stimulators.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Local Professional Chefs Create recipes tackling some of the more obscure produce you might find in your CSA.
No matter your devotion to eating local and supporting Rhode Island's smaller farmers, if you don't know how to use a veggie it is doomed for the compost. To help with this all too common problem, we have asked some local chefs to create recipes that tackle your CSA mysteries. Our CSA Sleuths are fabulous personal chefs and Urban Greens Members.
Beetroot, Ginger and Garlic Soup from Norbert & Lara of MyChefLara, LLC
Beef Borscht from Norbert & Lara of MyChefLara, LLC
Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad BY Chef Deb Fernandez of Home Star Cuisine, LLC
To be honest, I avoided beets for most of my life. It was not until I traveled to Russia and had Borscht that I started to realize how fabulous this vegetable was. I am now in love. Not only do they taste great, they are versatile and the color – fabulous! You have to be careful though – when cooking with beets – the juice of the beets stains everything. Beets were used to die fabrics for many years.
Another issue with beets that keeps people away from them is that peeling a beet looks like a challenge. Actually it is very easy – just not how you would normally approach it. The best way to peel a beet is to roast it covered in a little bit of oil in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes or so until the skin starts to wrinkle. Put the hot beets inside a plastic or brown paper bag and let sit for about 10 minutes – allowing them to steam. Using a paper towel or the bag it steamed in peel the skins away from the beets. This is the same way you would peel roasted peppers. Again, just be careful because the beets will stain anything they come in contact with. If you peel the beets with your hands then I recommend wearing gloves since they will stain your skin.Read More

What To Expect From The January 2013 BOE And ECB Rate Decisions 0 commentsJan 19, 2013 12:16 PM
Now that we've put the U.S. NFP results behind us, we can shift our focus back on another sore spot in the global economy - Europe!
Tomorrow, the Bank of England (NYSE:BOE) and European Central Bank (ECB) are set to hold their first interest rate decisions of the year. Let me fill you in on what to expect!
Bank of England - Rate decision at 12:00 pm GMT
According to most economists, the BOE will likely keep its official bank rate at 0.50% and leave asset purchases unchanged at 375 billion GBP.
I'm sure you're all aware that the U.K. economy has been far from impressive lately, but it hasn't all been bad news, which makes me think that the BOE will play the wait-and-see game this January.
It's said that the U.K. risks falling into its third recession in the last four years, but the manufacturing industry showed surprising resilience last month, expanding at its fastest pace since September 2011. Furthermore, the MPC seems to be optimistic about its Funding for Lending program judging by its last meeting minutes, so it'll probably give it more time to work its magic.
European Central Bank - Rate decision at 12:45 pm GMT, press conference at 1:30 pm GMT
Market junkies aren't holding their breaths for the ECB to announce any changes to its monetary policy either. The consensus is for the bank to keep the interest rate steady at 0.75%. However, that doesn't mean that the rate decision will be a snoozer!
Everyone will keep an ear out for what European central bankers have to say about the economy. Like the U.K., recent data from the euro zone has been mixed, but mostly downbeat. Manufacturing and services PMIs from the region showed contractions for December and have led many to believe that the recession in the euro zone might have deepened in the last quarter of 2012.
Though it will be pretty interesting to hear ECB head honcho Mario Draghi's economic outlook, majority believe that the bank will remain on hold for now. After all, there seems to be no urgent need for a rate cut. The OMT program has brought relief to the markets, bond yields are significantly below unsustainable levels, and we've been seeing signs of stability from Germany and France recently.
There you have it, the lowdown on the BOE's and ECB's first rate decisions for the year. Which do you think will have a bigger impact on their respective currencies? Which one will you trade?Back To Forex Gump's Instablog HomePage »

This is the best pizza on the peninsula by far. Their thin crust is just amazing. Not like a typical NY crackery thin crust. This is really a unique flaky and delicious crust. We're been coming here for years and we've never found anything local that can touch it. Ok, now I gotta go get one!!
Posted: 6/11/2006Provided by Citysearch -
Just might be the best pizza I've had... that's a bold statement, but their thin-crust style pizza is so light, crispy and tasty that I can't think of any better. Nothing gourmet or trendy here, just great pizza. The decor is a little outdated - looks like it hasn't changed much over the years. But it also seems like the pizza hasn't changed either so that's a good thing. Very family-friendly - it reminds me of going out for pizza night. I wish I lived closer so I could go more often. So much better than the generic papa johns and pizza huts. Their thick crust is also good, but that thin crust is really out of this world.

About 8 months ago I rescued a 5 year old Boston Terrier female that was a breeding dog for a crap backyard breeder who keeps his dogs in a barn type setting (not pets, not in house). When I got her she was still intact and had just weaned her last litter. She had been having puppies since she was 8 months old according to the breeder. She had these patches of hair missing all along both sides of her body. Nowhere else. He coat was a bit dull and she was filthy and stunk to high heavens (Bostons usually don't smell at all). When I took her to my vet's to have her spayed she said it was caused by stress. After a few months on good food and tlc the patched filled in and she now has a beautiful, shiny coat.
So the other day I see the same breeder is dumping the above girl's daughter. I of course cannot stand the thought of where she might end up (or the thought that she was living in the same conditions as her mother ) and so I went and got her. She also has these exact same missing hair patches but even more so than her mother. I am guessing they will go away but does anyone know what this is from?? If it is from stress then what about stress would cause this and why just patches on the side of the body?
Neither of the dogs were/are itchy or scratching at all. The skin doesn't appear irritated at all.

This invention relates to a cooling system for a beverage dispensing unit wherein the beverage, e.g., beer, is dispensed at a point remote from where the beverage is stored.
Beverages such as beer are often provided to various establishments in huge containers, e.g., kegs, that are stored in a cooler necessarily located a substantial distance from where the beverage is to be dispensed, e.g., a beer keg is stored in a basement cooler and dispensed to customers in an upstairs lounge area. A line extends between the keg and the dispensing tap. Even though the cooler maintains the beer in the keg at a desired temperature, by the time it travels through the line it is undesirably warmed. Obviously the beverage is not dispensed continuously and the intervals between the dispensing results in further warming.
The problem has been largely resolved by providing an encapsulated jacket around the beer conveying lines and running a second line inside the jacket and along side the beer conveying line that continuously circulates a cooling liquid, e.g., glycol. The glycol is circulated at a consistent rate an at a constant temperature to prevent the line (and the beverage in the line) from significantly rising in temperature.
A problem with the system as originally designed is that the glycol was stored in an open vat (to prevent air locks) with cooling coils provided in the vat for cooling the glycol. The glycol would often separate with a water component evaporating from the glycol; the glycol would become contaminated and create problems in the system; and, the open vat would rapidly warm requiring excessive energy for cooling.
The above problems are largely resolved by a system described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,949,552. The glycol is contained in a closed system including a partially filled but closed supply tank containing glycol. The glycol is pumped from the bottom of the tank and then circulated through a cooling coil before joining the beer line en route to the dispensing tap. The glycol is rotated back to the top of the supply tank where any air in the glycol separates from the glycol. The temperature of the glycol is controlled by gauging the vapor pressure in the cooling coil. When the correct temperature is attained, the condenser coil is bypassed and then opened when additional cooling is required.
The system of the '552 patent is further improved with the present invention. The present invention is also a closed system but adds a pressurization tank that places the glycol in the line under pressure. The pressurized glycol provides improved control over temperature, faster temperature response and quieter system operation. Piping and operating costs are reduced substantially.
In the preferred embodiment, a bladder enclosed in a pressurization tank is utilized. With the bladder containing glycol and under pressure, any drop in the glycol within the line, e.g., through leakage or temperature difference, is accommodated by replacement glycol from the bladder. A bleed valve removes all air from the system and temperature of the glycol and thus the beverage is controlled by a sensor that controls the cooling process.
In general, the system comprises three interconnected systems. A cooling system is designed to provide a cooling coil that is enclosed in an insulated jacket also containing a section or coil of the glycol transmitting line. The glycol is cooled by the cooling coil. The glycol transmitting system includes a conveying or transmitting line that conveys the glycol from the cooling coil to an enclosed supply tank. The cooled glycol from the supply tank is drawn by a pump past a pressurization station (the mentioned bladder enclosed tank) and then along a path between a beer source and a beer dispenser. A beverage conveyance system includes a container of beverage, a line that extends from the container along the path of the glycol and surrounded by an insulated jacket whereby it is cooled by the glycol. It is connected to the dispensing tap where it is available, in a cooled state, on demand. The glycol is cycled back to the cooling coil and is continuously pumped through the system. Both the cooling system and beverage conveyance system are operated intermittently, the cooling system operative on demand as the beverage causes reduction in the glycol temperature.
The invention and its several advantages over the prior system will become more apparent upon reference to the following detailed description and drawings referred to therein.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a pressurized beverage cooling system;
FIG. 2 is a view as viewed along view lines 2--2 of FIG. 1 illustrating a beverage line set including a coolant line of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a section view of the pressurization tank used in the system.
Refer now to FIG. 1 of the drawings which schematically illustrates a pressurized beverage cooling system 10 of the present invention. The cooling system 10 comprises in combination three separate systems and includes a sealed refrigeration system 12, a sealed and pressurized water/glycol cooling system 14 and a beverage conveying system 16.
The sealed refrigeration unit 12 is of conventional design that incorporates a coaxial evaporator 18 that is utilized to cool the water/glycol coolant that is utilized in the cooling system 14. The refrigeration system 12 includes an expansion valve 20 and has a compressor 22 and a condenser 24 housed within a cabinet indicated by 26. The coaxial evaporator 18 has coils 30 of the coolant system 14 running within the coaxial evaporator 18 in a conventional manner. The refrigeration unit 12 is controlled by a thermostat 28 that monitors the temperature of the water/glycol coolant in the cooling system 14.
The cooling system 14 is a closed system and has a line 31 for re-circulating the water/glycol coolant throughout the system 14. The line 31 extends from the coils 30 and inter-connects a reservoir 32, a pressure tank 36 and a pump 42. The reservoir 32 is sized to contain a small volume of water/glycol coolant. The reservoir 32 has an air purging valve 34 that is utilized to eliminate air in the system 14. The air purging valve 34 will exhaust any air that is contained in the reservoir 32 and further will exhaust any air that emanates from the water/glycol coolant. A conventional bladder-type pressure tank 36 (see FIG. 3) is utilized to maintain pressure on the water/glycol coolant in the system 14. The pressure tank 36 includes an air inlet port 38 which is provided to facilitate injecting air (arrow 37) on top of a bladder 39 to thus provide pressure on the water/glycol coolant. A fill valve 40 which communicates with the line 31 of the glycol coolant system 14 is provided for filling the system 14 with the glycol/water coolant and for adding water/glycol coolant to the system as required. The water/glycol coolant is circulated throughout the cooling system 14 by a pump 42. The circulating lines 31 extend from the pump 42 to a beverage conveying system 16. As seen in FIG. 2, the line 31 is in intimate contact with the beverage conveying lines 50 of the beverage conveying system 16. Conventional shut off valves 46 are provided in the line 31.
The beverage conveying system 16 includes a beverage source indicated by 52 and in this embodiment, the beverage source 52 includes multiple kegs of beer 54. The kegs 54 are connected to a dispensing station by individual lines 50. The beverage (beer) is conveyed from the source 52 to the dispensing taps 58 of the dispensing station by the lines 50 in a conventional manner. The beverage conveyor lines 50 surround the water/glycol coolant line 31 as indicated in FIG. 2. The cooled water/glycol coolant will thus maintain and/or lower the temperature of the beer in the lines 50 as it is conveyed from the beverage source 52 to the dispensing station.
FIG. 2 illustrates the line 31 surrounded by the beverage lines 50. In the illustration the line 31 is surrounded by five lines 50. The number of lines 50 may be varied to suit the requirements. The bundle of the line 31 and the beverage lines 50 are insulated in a conventional manner by known insulating material, the insulating material being indicated by numeral 60.
The absorption of the heat by the glycol coolant system 14 is essentially prevented by suitably insulating the coolant line 31, the reservoir 32, the pressure tank 36 and the fill and shut off valves. It will be appreciated that the line 31 will not be insulated where it is in contact with the beverage dispensing lines 50. The beverage dispensing lines 50 and the coolant line 31 are intended to transfer heat from the beverage dispensing lines 50 to the coolant line 31 and, therefore, line 31 is not insulated where it runs in close proximity to the beverage dispensing lines 50. As previously mentioned, the bundle of the beverage dispensing lines 50 and the coolant line 31 are, however, suitably insulated to prevent heat absorption from external sources.
The glycol cooling system 14 is a pressurized system which greatly aids in reducing separation of the water/glycol mixture and further reduces the effect of evaporation. Another advantage of the closed pressurized cooling system 14 is that the water/glycol mixture is not subject to contamination. The water/glycol cooling system 14 is a low volume system requiring very low gallonage of coolant. Thus, the refrigeration unit 12 need only cool a small volume of the water/glycol coolant that is utilized to cool the beverage in the lines 50.
The pump 42 circulates the water/glycol coolant on a continuous basis through the coolant system 14. The pump 42 will pump the glycol/water coolant through the line 31 as indicated by arrows 44 and as shown the coolant will flow through the line 31 and as it flows through line 31 adjacent the beverage lines 50 the beverages in the lines 50 will be cooled by the chilled water/glycol coolant of the coolant system 14. As the coolant exits the area of the beverage lines 50, the coolant will be circulated through the coils 30 of the coaxial evaporator 18 and will be chilled according to the demand presented by the thermostat 28. Refrigeration unit 12 will only run on demand for cooling.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that modifications and variations may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention. The invention is therefore not to be limited to the embodiments described and illustrated but is to be determined from the appended claims.

House Republicans Trip Over Each Other To Introduce Competing Bills To Defund Planned Parenthood
Mitt Romney made his desire to defund Planned Parenthood a central part of his pro-life credentials during his failed presidential campaign — but even though Romney didn't ascend to the White House, attacks on Planned Parenthood aren't fading away anytime soon. State level efforts to defund the women's health organization are moving forward in Texas and Oklahoma, and members of the 133th Congress are so eager to introduce national legislation to block federal funds to Planned Parenthood that two Tennessee congresswomen both introduced identical versions of the same bill this week.
As the Huffington Post notes, Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and Diane Black (R-TN) both hope to prevent Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funding for their family planning and preventative health services, and rushed to introduce a bill to do so during the first few days of the legislative session. But perhaps they were a bit too eager, since both bills are actually exactly the same proposal:
Tennessee Reps. Marsha Blackburn (R) and Diane Black (R) separately reintroduced a bill during the first two days of the 2013 legislative session that would prohibit Title X family planning grants from being awarded to any organization that performs abortions. The bill, first introduced by former Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) in the 112th Congress, primarily targets Planned Parenthood, which receives about $340 million a year in Title X funds for non-abortion health and family planning services. Both bills amend Pence's original bill to include exceptions for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother. […]
The day after Blackburn circulated her bill, Black introduced the same bill. One of Black's staffers pointed out to HuffPost that her bill has the same number as Pence's original bill and said that Pence, the governor-elect of Indiana, had specifically given Black his blessing to carry it on. Black's bill has 38 cosponsors and endorsements from all the same organizations that Blackburn's has.
The two legislators are unconcerned about their overlapping legislative agendas; they may simply sign on to co-sponsor each other's bills. "The fact that there are multiple members interested in this issue proves that Planned Parenthood is not going to be let off the hook. We welcome the attention of all members to the subject," Blackburn told the Huffington Post. "It helps build momentum."
The Republican congresswomen believe their double push to block federal grant money from Planned Parenthood clinics is necessary in spite of the Hyde Amendment, a 1976 federal law that already prohibits taxpayer dollars from funding abortion services. The major fuel to anti-abortion advocates' fire is a recent report noting Planned Parenthood's activities during its last fiscal year, when the organization received $542 million in taxpayer funding and performed about 334,000 abortions. Anti-choice lawmakers like Blackburn argue that even though those taxpayer dollars don't directly fund abortion procedures, they still indirectly allow the women's health group to continue performing abortions because they don't have to worry about fully funding their other programmatic areas.
Ironically, continued Republican crusades against Planned Parenthood may actually be helping perpetuate the organization's funding cycle. A post-election poll confirmed that women's issues, including ensuring secure funding for Planned Parenthood, were a decisive factor in November's election. Sixty four percent of all voters said they heard something about Romney's intent to defund Planned Parenthood, and 62 percent disagreed with that position — potentially spurring voters to make increased donations to the organization during the election cycle to lend their support.

Skip to comments.Will Koran Burning Be Banned In The United States?
Posted on 04/05/2011 4:50:37 AM PDT by Scanian
click here to read article
Time to place a koran in a bottle of piss next to it. Pig piss.
Being on the same planet with moslems makes everyone "less safe".
Those sand rats don't need an excuse to act like the savages they are, it comes naturally.
And who gave him the "attention"? The media. What if I held a koran burning and nobody came? Would it be news? Would those savages even know what I was up to if the media just ignored my phone call announcing it?
Screw this, I'm sick and damned tired of compromising my rights as an American citizen because some in-bred savage half-way around the world is going to get his panties in a twist.
Take one to the range, and get everybody to empty a mag on it at once.
That is what I did on Nov 11 the past two years. I think it will be a long running tradition for me. That cover also makes a very good rifle target, if you add a big
in the center.
Incitement to illegal violence is not considered protected speech, nor should it be.
Cross-burning was classified, rightly or wrongly, by the Court as the equivalent of verbal or written incitement to kill people and as such not protected.
While I'm not sure I agree 100%, they have a good point.
****Where does one buy a koran and how much does one cost?****
Barnes and Nobel has them. Buy one if you wish. Then when you burn it, you will be burning your own PERSONAL PROPERTY. Who can fault you for burning trash?
Or you can do it a page at a time.
You can download a PDF of the Koran, but a word of caution, if you delete the file by placing it in the Recycle Bin, it automatically alerts people in Afghanistan that you deleted the file.
If we had the proper ROE in Afghanistan, nobody would have even heard of Pastor Jones, even if he burned 10,000 Korans in the middle of Florida Field at halftime of a Gator Football Game.
***I just googled the words free Koran and it looks like several links where they are giving them away.***
I believe the real koran to be burned has to be in arabic. English translations don't count to the moslems.
That's the slippery slope we're on though. The instant that Americans start "compromising" on the 1st Amendment, we're done.
It's the 1st Amendment for a reason.
I'd rather focus on that, than some stupid pastor.
Consequences are one thing. Prohibition is something else.
"His website was shut down. The mortgage on his church's property was called in and — what a coincidence — the church's property insurance was cancelled. The city of Gainesville threatened to charge the church for protection."
Well, yeah.
The website went from obscure to high traffic and undue problem for the ISP. Not what the hosting provider contracted for, ergo shutdown.
The church building is now at serious risk of arson. Pay up now, while there's still something to pay for.
Likewise insurance: pastors are a low insurance risk, until one billions people want to kill him. Outside the contract, duly cancelled.
Extra police and fire and medical presence required now. Reasonable debate as to whether the local jurisdiction has to suck it up, or can charge him for undue needs.
That's the consequences of such actions.
Outright ban, however, that hasn't happened and is a very different issue if it does.
I've heard tell that September 11, 2011 is Worldwide Burn a Koran Day.
Yeah, but they didn't do that out of respect for the cross, but out of "sensitivity" to our "diverse" population.
Looks like I'm going to have to order a few free ones for grilling season, the mohammedan joke book makes excellent charcoal starter.
Google "free quran". You will be amazed at the wealth of places to get a free one. In burnable format.
You understand my point? they are getting into hate crime logic while interpreting the constitution here,
Hate Crime : "having the wrong personal thoughts as motivation for some action that may or may not be legal in itself"
Flag burning exclusion from the constitution: "Excluding certain speech (symbolism) from protection due to the assumed wrong personal thoughts as motivation for the speech by the SCOTUS"
Although the hate crimes laws tend to used used exclusively for PC protected classes of people against unprotected, or those lower on the victim-ology hiarchy. The police are always investigating to find out if something was a hate crime (ie the races of the victim and victimizer.)
I like the trial of Mohammed idea. Lets put him up for examination. A lot of What Islam is today isn't what old Mo taught long ago. He never urged women to wear Burkas. He married his friends daughter when she was age 5—but he didn't take her to bed until she reached the ripe old age of 9. But—he did seem to love her and she did give him his only child—a little girl.
Same here along with a whole passel of Government Pamphlets and the Entire Congressional Record.
We better all raise up and shout this down if it happens.
Koran burning should stay legal. Perhaps more should be burned rather than less. Islam is a violent, aggressive religion which needs to be challenged. Right now it is conquering decadent Europe without a shot being fired.Let us also remember that these are the scumbags that blew up statues all over the place. From 2001:
Its amazing and sad that this is the state of affairs in 2011.
THE world's two largest standing Buddhas - one of them 165ft high - were blown up by the Taliban in Afghanistan at the weekend.These [swear-word deleted] are in no position to complain.
I will personally organize a burn-in if they try this. I will hang posters all over the place with Mad Mo as a cartoon character announcing the burn-in.
The war is no longer against Al Qaeda, it is against.... well, I'm not sure who we are fighting there anymore. We overthrew the Taliban because they were harboring Al Qaeda. We are now fighting on the same side as Al Qaeda in Libya and supporting Al Qaeda in Egypt and Yemen.
We are no longer fighting the mission we went to Afghanistan to fight. We are burning bibles and excusing terrorism allegedly because we have freedom of speech and religion in America and the Islamists don't like it.
So if we are fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, then why are we fighting on their side in Libya? Why did we support the Al Qaeda revolutionaries in Egypt and Yemen?
To paraphrase Country Joe and the Fish:
And its one two three
What are we fighting for
Don't ask me I don't give a damn
Next stop is Afghanistan.
IMHO our mission in Afghanistan ended when our own military started burning bibles. There is nothing left there worth dying for.
I like the idea of printing the cover page of an online Koran. Dart board. Fish wraper. Lots of great stuff.
Shooting target paper, kitchen hotpads, dishrags, etc. I like that thought. Let's show them how this freedom thing works.
Good point!
My Bible says that "All scripture is God-breathed," (modern translation), contradicting that clown who went on TV the other day to say that the Bible is "written by man" but the Koran was dictated to Muhammad by Allah.
Hmmmmmm...doesn't that make all Koran translations invalid? Translations are necessarily subjective.
So get an Arab version, by all means. And hang it up next to the grill so you can start your fire with it all season.
That would be more blessed food than if you said grace before and after eating it, IMHO.
Do you understand that?
If not read the constitution.
"The new sensation that's sweeping the nation!"
I love it!
Imagine what the muzzies would do if MILLIONS fired up their grill with "holy" pages-—in the original Arabic, of course.
There ya go. Dartboards, bottom of the bird cage. Garbage can liner.
So many uses!
Thanks for the link!
Forwarded to many patriots! Also some, non-patriots, that I wish to have their heads explode!!!!
"Lets just imagine that Chamberlain had continued as wartime PM instead of Churchill. Because we have a bunch ofChamberlain types running things in the West now."
Yes, England was VERY LUCKY to get rid of him. In the US, what do you expect? But on this site, I expect BETTER, MUCH BETTER.
It is amazing that we have Muslim APOLOGISTS running around here posting replies.
One other thing about our involvement in Libya. We are out now, but Obama went to the UN and never went to our Congress except to send them a letter per the War Powers Act. Totally unconstitutional! At some point, he should have went to Congress for a joint resolution. If we go back in again as NATO will surely beg us to do, he BETTER go to Congress and the Republicans BETTER insist on it. To start a war is a political matter, therefore it belongs in the Congress. To prosecute a war belongs in the Commander in Chief's hands and should never be political.
Wow, that's the first I've heard of it. It has been turned over to NATO, but the last time I looked probably 90% of the actual fighting force of NATO (the guys who are on the front lines) are US Servicemen and women. The only difference is that they are now taking orders from a Canadian.
We will be in Libya when I die of old age. We will be in Afghanistan for another decade. We should have gone in there in 2001 and kicked their butts and got out. Then we should have gone back in 2003 and kicked their butts and got out. Then we might have had to return in 2005 and kick their butts and got out. This nation building idea of Bush's was nuts.
Again, when the Military ordered the burning of the bibles, America lost its mission. From that point forward we have been treading water and protecting an Islamic regime that is destined to fall and be replaced by an even more repressive Islamic regime.
It's long past time we left there and let these Islamic tribal goons kill each other off. If they don't have American Troops to kill, they will be more than happy to use their bullets on their fellow countrymen. Historically when Muslims run out of Jews and Christians to kill, they invariably turn their swords on each other.
A lot of the replies I've been reading lately have given me pause. On a number of issues.
I'd yell "troll" but some have been around longer than I have.
"Id yell troll but some have been around longer than I have."
I agree...they sound like trolls, but they're not. They're just people who, despite all their time on this site, are still capable of being manipulated by the MSM.
Sad...but that's the way it is these days.
When I read something like "That stuff about Social Security being broke is a bunch of hype," I'd swear it was Bernie Sanders talking.
Koreans like Japanese are pretty industrious people. We could use more of them and not resort to burning them.
"When I read something like That stuff about Social Security being broke is a bunch of hype, Id swear it was Bernie Sanders talking."
...or Barney Frank. But it is tough to believe the government on anything, so when they say it's broke, is it reeeeaaaallly broke? For those of us who do the math...of course it's broke, and long past being salvageable.
For Obama, keep acting like all is fine...after all 70% of the country can't do their own calculations, so you win.
Ok, cool...that's mighty white of you.
So how do you feel about Qurans?
I don't know, those Quarians are pretty spooky people. I'll stay with Koreans.

Very good, not great
It is good at doing what is supposed to do.. Which is to help me log my time and keep track of my projects and my time spent on each and for each client. It is easy to use, I'm pretty good with computers but even my wife could figure this one out. Now, what it doesn't do. It is supposed to sync with onedrive, but when I try and look at the logs from my onedrive, it is unreadable.. No way could I pull it from another computer and show a client. I can export the reports to excel but it would be nice to be able to do that from my onedrive when I'm not at my computer. Another thing that would be nice is if it had a WP8 app to sync with. This way when I am not at my computer I can still log my time. Overall, I rated 4 stars because I don't see another app in the windows store that does what this does for me. This was was well worth it. If they made an app for WP8 and made the syncing with onedrive better, this would be all over the blogs as a must have for every freelancer/small biz owner.More

functional, but awkward
This app does basically what it says it will do. The UI leaves a little bit to be desired. For one, if you are going to color code categories, I would prefer to be able to select my own colors. Random colors don't mean anything to me. Second, editing an entry is a pain - you have to find it on a report, then edit it from there. I also like an app that flows to the right for drilling down to more details.More
