Skip to comments.Todd Akin Opens Door to Possible Exit
Posted on 08/22/2012 10:38:01 AM PDT by EveningStar
Heres what Missouri Congressman Todd Akin said when I asked if he was in the race to stay even if it looked like he would lose and possibly cost Republicans control of the Senate.
Well George, Im never going to say everything that could possibly happen. I dont know the future, but I do know this. I knew that the party voters took a look at our hearts, understood who we were, had a chance to meet us in many, many different ways and made a decision, Akin told me. And it makes me uncomfortable to think that the party bosses are going to dictate who runs as opposed to the election process.
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
This is how the media chooses our candidates
I think if Rand Paul or Mike Huckabe asked him to leave he would.
He self selected.
Rush, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and several other conservative talk show hosts, plus (from what I can see) the majority of Freepers want this gentleman to step down, for the sake of the country.
I agree.
Akin needs to stand strong against the Yellow Bellied RINO's and their sycophants in the MSM who want to destroy a Strong Pro LIfe Conservative.
"...Yellow Bellied RINOs and their sycophants in the MSM..."
You mean like:
Tea Party Express?
It still the ECONOMY people.
As my mother was always fond of saying, "Is this the hill you want to die on?"
Do we really want to risk not getting control of the Senate, and with it our last, best shot of repealing Obamacare and undoing the other destructive stuff Obama has done to our country, to make a point on principle about how the media should not be allowed to choose our candidates for us?
For me the stakes are too high. We can fight that battle about the media some other day.
If a serious third party candidate materializes and starts drawing support, old Toddy boy will probably take the hint. It must suck to be him. I wonder how many people are showing up at his appearances. Word is that he's still polling slightly ahead of McCaskill. It sucks more to be her.
I agree. Maybe it would help if people thought about how 64% of Republican voters in the primary chose someone else, and both Steelman and Brunner were beating McCaskill before the primary by 6% (compared to Akin beating McCaskill by 3% before he "self selected" as someone said).
time for another lefty RINO Senator?? Cuz that is what we will get.
Don't do it Akin. You will win and do great things in the Senate. 3 months is an ETERNITY...not even 48 hours yet....keep strong!!! A conservative in the Senate will be wonderful. In fact, we will take you and have Scott Brown go away.
The akin fool strapped on his own suicide vest and the people are trying to keep him from becoming a murderer with his stupidity.
Causes me to wonder whether Akin is negotiating behind the scene with GOPe and trying to retire wealthy.
Or, more simply stated, they didn't reach 'his' price yesterday.
Have called for Akin to step down for the sake of the country:
Rush Limbaugh
Sarah Palin
Sean Hannity
Mark Levin
Tea Party Express
Charles Krauthammer
Dennis Prager
Ann Coulter
National Review editorial board
Hugh Hewitt
etc etc etc
Christian conservative radio hosts Steve Deace and Mike Gallagher have stated in no uncertain terms that they want Akin to stay in.

No... It is a nice easy slow ball down the center of the plate for every Democrat. Warren is mentioning it now in MA and it will certainly spread. Just like saying the Mark Foley issue was only the business of a single district in Florida.
Anyone who needs to use a "comb over" is to be studied at very carefully!
I know this is a "Rat" site but it's worth a read. http://missouridems.org/content/report-akin-secured-31-million-earmarks-campaign-donors
"The akin fool strapped on his own suicide vest and the people are trying to keep him from becoming a murderer with his stupidity."
How could you say such a thing about a man who has fought for years for the Conservative cause and for Unborn Babies?
Akin is a hero and deserves our support as he fights against the liberal media, spineless RINO's and socialist-godless democrats.
caller on Rush wants to look into Akin's finances. Thinks he was a plant.
Absolutely, Akin has plenty of time to clarify his beliefs to the voters. There will be debates, correct? Most of the people who would have voted for him are Christians and understand the concept of forgiveness, unlike coldhearted, power-hungry political consultants who would throw their grandmother under the bus to win an election. If Akin's poll numbers tank and stay there, then he should resign, just as Romney should since Romney can't get above Obama in the polls. But he should be given a second chance to redeem himself after one isolated mistake.
Remember when Akin said, "It's not about me."? Well it's probably about the money though. Word is starting to leak out that he's staying in because he was paid to stay in. Who would pay him to stay in? I can think of several Democratic linked organizations. Primary is Soros.
A caller to Dennis Prager's show said this situation has been made into a far worse problem because of a spineless Republican party who doesn't defend their own and who refused to help clarify Akin's remarks. He's right.
"The people of Missouri chose me, and I don't believe it's right for party bosses to decide to override those voters," Akin said. "It makes me uncomfortable to think that the party bosses are going to dictate who runs, as opposed to the election process."
As I said in a previous post on another thread, we gotta gop guy running for congress here in upstate NY, and he's already having to field questions on 'legitimate rape'. Doing a good job, but why should he have to deal with this?
I'm as pro-life as the next person. But is this what we want our candidates to spend the next 3 months fielding questions about?
I heard all over the place that the deadline was yesterday at 5:00. It was almost like a countdown. And then after five I heard The deadline was 6:00.
And now we're talking about him stepping aside a day later?!
What changed?
Can we trust nothing we hear on the news any more?
Akins isn't leaving and we need to support him.
And you think the Missouri voters who are obviously unhappy with Obama and the Democrats will suddenly turn around and give them their stamp of approval just because Akin made one confusing statement that he quickly clarified and retracted?
Whether Akin withdraws or not, Dems will take his remarks out of context and use them to try and say all Republicans hate women or whatever. So that ain't going away no matter what Akin does now. His apology didn't make it go away and withdrawing won't.
He's a fool and a selfish fool at that, clearly NOT interested in the country or in defeating Obamacare but "me, me, me." It is the worst of all sins, vanity.
Thats the way it is
Nope because you complete missed the fact that Foley was about corruption in the GOP leadership and their attempts to protect him
I have to laugh that the same people who lectured us endlessly about how we had to put social issues on the back burn and focus on economic issues in 2012 are now falling into the exact same trap they accuse Soc Cons of falling into.
Instead of keeping the focus ON the dominate issue of the economy, the GOP/Conservative movement is letting the Democrat propaganda machine suck them into this non debate.
The Conservative/GOP movement is winning big all over the place. They needs to stop spending all their time fretting about what the Dems are doing and start making the Dems worry about what we are doing.
Why is this guy talking to Obama cheerleader in chief Stephy anyway? This compounds the original stupidity.
On the other hand, if the fate of the entire country hangs on the election of one senator from Missouri, we're in the kind of trouble it won't be that easy to get out of.
And the MIssouri GOP will replace Rep. Akin with a Romney-McCain RINO who cannot win in November.
They won't miss their chance to take out a conservative and replace him with a liberal-moderate.
Akin is now, unequivicably, a straight up LIAR, with his laughable "tweet" that it's the Liberal media who is trying to push him to step down.
He's showing his "nutjob" now--he's fully aware that the "Liberal media" is the LAST "group" that would even *begin* to want him out.
This is SERIOUSLY offensive.
I dare ANYone to say, with a straight face, that Akin is being honest about his latest *claim.*
My personal opinion is there are negotiations occurring under the radar. Whatever money it costs to buy him out would be well spent.
I think if Jesus glorified appeared to him and told him to drop out, he'd say "Get thee behind me, Satan!"
So who paid off Rush to call Sandra Fluke a "slut?" It's absolutely disgusting to spread rumors about a man like Akin who seems perfectly decent over one simple, innocent, mistaken statement. This is politics at its most immoral, cowardly and evil. Let's leave the "ends justify the means" garbage to the godless Democrats.
Is this a$$hat going to talk to every single leftist media personality in the world now? First he signed up for Piers Morgan and thankfully begged off, now he went to go see Lauer and Stephanopholous, what's next, sitting on a couch with Oprah, Babs and the gals?
Just your typical bunch of RINOs.
You talking about Romney? He's currently losing badly against a President with approval in the toilet and a shattered economy. And he's allowing a huge issue to distract from the campaign by not releasing his tax returns for selfish, foolish reasons. If we want a truly perfect lineup of candidates, we need to jointly call for Akin and Romney to withdraw.
NBC/WSJ Poll: Romney Has Problems Including No Bounce From Ryan Pick
A new NBC/WSJ poll has some bad news for presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney: Barack Obama still leads, Romneys pick of Rep. Paul Ryan has given him no bounce, and voters are uneasy with him due to his income tax questions and plans to overhaul Medicare.
LOL, so you think Romney should only do interviews with Rush, Levin and Hannity too?
Too bad that poll oversampled Democrats by about 6.
Whose side are you on anyways? You sound like one of those suicidal one-issue voters who would rather see Obama for another 4 years then Romney.
Radio news on the hour said that Akin spoke with Ryan last night. Could be that they are negotiating to make sure that whomever would be chosen as a replacement would share the pro-life views of Akin. They may also be offering him a post in the administration and assuring him that the GOP would pick up the tab for any expenses that would occur as a result of Akin's withdrawing. Ryan could have offered that the GOP conduct and pay for a poll and if it looks bad, Akin would agree to step aside. Also, Ryan could have driven the point home that he would not have the support of the national party nor any funding. Also, neither R would campaign on his behalf in MO.
There are all kinds of scenarios, but if anyone could knock some sense into him, it would be Ryan.

Crafts like gelatin prints can blast summer blahs
By JENNIFER FORKER
Associated Press
For a lot of kids, summertime beckons with temptations — to sleep in late, watch too much TV, swim, roam.
And that's just the first day.
Boredom sets in soon after.
So provide kids with crafts that inspire awe, not blahs. Two reliable sources are "Martha Stewart Living" and "Family Fun" magazines, which post kids' crafts online. "Martha Stewart Living" editors have also just released "Martha Stewart's Favorite Crafts for Kids" (Potter Craft); many of the projects in this heavy tome are retooled from the magazine's pages, which means they can also be found online.
Creativebug, meanwhile, offers online craft classes for kids throughout the summer, including a no-sew tepee, Shrinky Dink jewelry and Kool Aid-dyed yarn. There's a cost for most projects here.
Or roam Pinterest, the online board to which photos and do-it-yourself projects are "pinned," to find science and nature as well as arts and crafts fare. Media and crafting sites that originate projects often post their ideas to Pinterest.
Teen-age tinkerers can attend a free virtual camp by following Make magazine on Google Plus. Teen campers have access to do-it-yourself electronic, robotic — even crafting — projects. "Camp," now in its second summer, runs July 8 through Aug. 16, and includes virtual field trips and an online "hangout" site for posting project images and sharing ideas.
One crafting idea that may amaze kids of all ages for its novelty and simplicity is gelatin printing. This low-tech craft uses the following: a pan of gelatin such as the Knox brand, ink, paper, maybe an ink brayer and a collection of leaves. That's it.
Kristen Sutcliffe, of Oberlin, Ohio, writes about gelatin printing at her blog, New House Project.
"I love that kind of project, where it's easy, you can do it with your kids, but it's beautiful," says Sutcliffe.
Author of the new book "Fabric, Paper, Thread" (C&T Publishing), Sutcliffe, 30, says the gelatin provides a flexible medium for inking, and both positive and negative prints can be made.
"The surface is just the right amount of sticky to hold the leaves and things in place and keep the paper in place while you are pressing/rubbing it," Sutcliffe says on her blog.
It works best with smaller leaves and those that are textured. Ferns and geraniums work well. Use any paper or try a fabric. Sutcliffe has used canvas but recommends a smoother fabric such as muslin or cotton for a cleaner print.
She recommends using a screen-printing ink, such as Speedball, which works on paper or fabric. And she also suggests investing in a brayer, which will spread the ink uniformly without nicking the delicate gelatin surface.
If you're careful, you can make a dozen or more prints with a single batch of gelatin, Sutcliffe says.
Gelatin Printing
Gelatin, such as Knox brand, 8 ¼-ounce packets
Water, 5 cups
9-by-13-inch baking sheet with edges
Printmaking brayer
Printing ink, such as Speedball Screen Printing Ink (available at craft stores and online)
Assorted leaves
Paper or fabric
Paper plate
1. The gelatin needs a few hours to set. It can be made the night before you want to print. In a large pot, bring 5 cups of water to boil, then whisk in gelatin, one packet at a time, avoiding clumps. Pour mixture onto baking sheet and allow to cool and set.
2. To print, pour small amount of ink onto the plate; use the brayer to fully cover the gelatin with ink (a thin layer for working with paper; a heavy amount for printing on fabric). Place leaves on the ink-covered gelatin. Place your paper or fabric on top; rub.
3. Remove the paper or fabric: This is your first print (the negative).
4. Carefully remove leaves from the baking sheet (save them for reuse, if desired) and place a new piece of paper or fabric over the ink and rub; remove. This provides the positive print (the leaves' imprints remain in the gelatin until it's re-inked).
5. Re-ink the gelatin to make additional positive and negative prints.

Court upholds $2M award to Wal-Mart pharmacist
Published: Monday, October 5, 2009 at 2:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 5, 2009 at 2:01 p.m.
BOSTON A former pharmacist at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. who claimed she was fired after asking to be paid the same as her male colleagues is entitled to $2 million in damages awarded by a jury, the state's highest court ruled Monday.
Cynthia Haddad was fired in 2004 after working more than 10 years for Wal-Mart, seven of them at a store in Pittsfield.
Wal-Mart claimed she was fired because she left the pharmacy unattended and allowed a technician to use her computer security code to issue prescriptions during her absence.
Haddad, however, claimed in a discrimination lawsuit that she was fired because she complained about being paid less than her male counterparts, including a bonus given to pharmacy managers. The company paid the bonus, then fired her two weeks later.
In 2007, a jury found that the company discriminated against Haddad, and awarded her $1 million in compensatory damages and another $1 million in punitive damages. A judge later revoked the $1 million award for punitive damages, finding there was an insufficient basis for the jury's decision.
But the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court reinstated the punitive damages and upheld the total $2 million award, ruling that the jury had enough evidence to find that Wal-Mart's stated motive for Haddad's firing was a pretext and that Wal-Mart acted with a "discriminatory animus."
"There was evidence that Wal-Mart paid the plaintiff substantially less than less-experienced male pharmacists, refused to pay the plaintiff the pharmacy manager salary differential that it paid to male pharmacists, and terminated the plaintiff purportedly for a single policy violation but did not terminate male pharmacists for that or for more serious infractions involving violations of State and Federal law," Justice Judith Cowin wrote for the court in the unanimous, 7-0 ruling.
Richard Fradette, one of Haddad's trial attorneys, said the decision was gratifying.
"It's an endorsement of the professional female employee and the assurance that they will be paid equal to their male counterparts," said Fradette, who is also a pharmacist.
Stephen Melnick, one of Wal-Mart's lawyers, declined to comment. A call to Wal-Mart's headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., was not immediately returned.

WWII hero dies, but a remarkable story lives onBreaking News
In 1943, a German pilot decided not to shoot down Charlie Brown's damaged plane. Brown died last month, but he lived to finally see his heroism recognized.
When World War II bomber pilot Charlie Brown is laid to rest Saturday, his burial will close a chapter on one of the most remarkable war stories in modern history.
It's a tale of two pilots -- one American, the other German -- and of a bloody, deadly battle in the sky that led to an extraordinary friendship.

Specifically: $5,000 per hour of cleanup or per mile of backed up traffic, whichever is greater, to be paid by the trucking companies, and $1,000 per hour of cleanup or per mile of backup, whichever is greater, to be levied against the truck driver. You can ...Read More

HUNTSVILLE -- Colby Bargeman scored 23 points to lead Northwestern State to a 78-69 Southland Conference men's basketball victory over Sam Houston State Wednesday at Johnson Coliseum.
Bergeman's field goal 1:45 into the game put the Demons up 5-3 and Northwestern State never trailed again as the Demons upped their season mark to 11-13. Northwestern State stands 7-3 in the Southland East Division.
Trey Gilder pulled down nine rebounds to lead Northwestern State as the Demons out-rebounded Sam Houston 36-34. C. J. Clark scored 12 and Gilder added 10 points for the Demons.
Shamir McDaniel and Reggie Rawlins led Sam Houston with 14 points apiece. Ryan Bright added 11. McDaniel, Bright, and Rawlins each had six rebounds.
Northwestern State went on a 20-8 run in the final 10 minutes of the first half to go up 36-22 at intermission. Sam Houston went seven minutes without a field goal at one point during the run.
The Demons were just as hot to start the second period, leading by as many as 21 points, 63-42.
With nine minutes left to play, Sam Houston came charging back. The Bearkats cut the lead to eight points three times, but could come no closer.
Sam Houston State dropped to 18-5 for the season and 6-4 in Southland Conference action.
The Demons shot 54.2 percent from the floor, the best shooting by a Bearkat opponent this season. Northwestern State hit 32-of-59 from the field including seven three-point baskets
The Bearkats now begin a tough three game road trip starting Saturday at Central Arkansas.

It's not really a hostel, more of a hotel, so it's not really a great place to meet other backpackers. However, the rooms are really clean with comfy beds and the staff are very helpful. Location isn't bad but it's about 15-20 minutes walk to the centre of Hoi An. There's are some great cafes close by cafe 41 and cafe 43 and I recommend going there for food as the hotel has no restaurant.

The 4-3/4" POM Plastic Roller Dockers (200002) is a handy baking tool which prevents pastries and doughs from rising excessively. It measures 4.75" in length and is made from POM. The handle is made from toughened plastic, and the roller itself contains a series of little spikes which are sharp enough to pierce foods that are ready for the oven. This item is available in ivory and it is the type of tool which can give pastries the right texture. This is far more convenient than using other utensils, and the rolling action allows for a great deal of even coverage.

Great Paper for Acrylic Paint
By Shirley Locke
from Savannah, GA
Comments about Canson Montval Acrylic Paper:
Basically, this paper is exactly as advertised. The pad comes with ten pieces of thick, sturdy stock which handle the acrylic very well. Sometimes my art professors have said that Bristol board is good for acrylic, but it really doesn't match the quality of this paper that was made for acrylic.I haven't regretted buying a single Canson product so far.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I used this brand acrylic paper for a painting I was commissioned to do. I was very pleased with the quality. I was especially pleased that there was minimal curling at the edges with the heavy amount of paint I used. I was able to apply and blend paint on this paper with ease. Heavy weight and good quality.

Nice product, sweet results
By PA art
from New Market, MD
I have started using this product for acrylic sketches and studies for more complete paintings. My first acrylic drawing with just black paint was love at first try. My brush glided across the surface and gave me the most interesting textures and value. I finished with the most amazing study. I have since ordered different sizes.

Great for watercolor
By Bruce
from Palmyram NJ
I started using this paper for my watercolors as well as pen and ink with watercolor washes. I love the fact that it doesn't buckle and my brushes glide across the paper. When it comes to wet on wet, it does require a bit more water since the paper is very absorbent.

Superior quality paper for multimedia
By Lindley Karstens
from Desert Hot Springs, CA
If you're doing multi-media and need a substrate that is relatively inexpensive and yet sturdy, this is your go-to item. The website has had it listed incorrectly for some time now. The Montval is a 185 lbs. This is the heaviest "paper" I've found.

I love this paper!
By PJ
from Oklahoma
Since discovering this paper I have used no other with my acrylic painting. The weight is good enough that even if I am practicing and use a whole sheet, I can re-cover the sheet with a background and use it for a project without wasting that piece of paper. Also, I use a lot of water and this holds up nicely.

Editor's Note: Steve Ressler, a 2009 Federal 100 winner for his work as creator of a social network for government employees, points out some of his favorite features and content from GovLoop.com.
By Steve Ressler
GovLoop.com aims to be the Facebook for government employees. More than 7,500 people working for federal, state, and local agencies have joined the nearly year-old community Web site to exchange ideas about career development, leadership skills and best practices for government. Here are some excerpts that show why GovLoop is interesting, useful and fun.
From a forum called "Top 10 GovLoop Twitters."
URL: http://www.govloop.com/forum/topics/top-10-govloop-twitters
Excerpt: One member offers these as his favorite Twitter users to follow:
"@pbroviak — virtual worlds, mom, Public Works director, just awesome
@bgreeves — Muni Gov 2.0, stylish geek (no longer self-proclaimed, pal!)
@david_tallan — whip-smart, representing Ontario"
Why I like this: What began as my list of Top 10 GovLoop Twitters turned into a great topic of fascinating government folks on Twitter.
Special interest groups
URL: http://www.govloop.com/groups
Excerpt: Government 2.0 club
At this 450-member group, people are discussing topics such as "Using a wiki in administrative rule-making."
Why I like this: There are over 300 groups on the site ranging from Geeks in Government, GovLeaders, Open Source Software and Federally Employed Women.
Member of the Week
URL: http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/don-jacobson-govloop-member-of
Excerpt: Don Jacobson, State Department Consul General and creator of GovLeaders.org.
"Difficult problems go away if you actually deal with them. I know that sounds obvious, but it's a hard thing for a lot of managers to do. I'm pleased to report that it can be learned."
Why I like this: Each week a GovLoop member selects and interviews another member for this feature, where they discuss everything from their jobs to their hobbies and favorite technologies.
From the blog "Social Media vs. Your Security Clearance"
URL: http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/social-media-vs-your-security
Excerpt: "I am trying to find out is whether it's true that being on Twitter will jeopardize one's security clearance, as several people in a workshop I'm at today said was true."
Responds another member: "I am not a member of Twitter (and will not be one until I retire) because the threat to a security clearance makes sense."
Why I like this: It's a great discussion on a practical but important matter for government employees regarding the use of Web 2.0.
From the blog "Got State and Local Gov 2.0 Examples?"
URL: http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/got-state-and-local-gov-20
Excerpt, responding to a blogger's call for help: "Thought I would share the Web site www.brewertransition.org. This Web site serves as transition information for the state of Arizona's Governor's office, Secretary of State Jan Brewer — she has links on this Web site for 'Brew Tube,' her Facebook page, as well as Twitter."
Why I like this: It's a great example of members helping each other, which is what GovLoop is all about.

This is a continuation of co-pending application Ser. No. 098,799, filed on Sept. 21, 1987, now abandoned.
Devices for measuring the flow rates of powdery and granular materials as they flow through a gravity flow system comprised of chutes are well known in the art. The inventor herein is either the sole or co-inventor of several such prior art devices as shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,069,709; 4,538,471; 4,543,835; and 4,550,619, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. The inventor is also aware of other patents for such devices, one of which is U.S. Pat. No. 4,440,029. These patents generally disclose flow rate sensors which include a plate which is placed in the flow path of the material, the plate being supported in some manner from the chute with a force transducer of some sort mounted to the chute or other support and coupled to the plate to detect the force of the material as it impacts the plate. This detected force is then used as a measure for the flow rate. Although many of the plates in the prior art are mounted at an incline with the material dropping vertically onto the plate, at least one as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,440,029 is vertically mounted with the material flowing at an angle into the plate.
Because of the wide variance in the size and weight of the plate, there are many different kinds of plate suspension systems utilized in the prior art. These vary in complexity from a single strip spring support for hanging the vertical plate of U.S. Pat. No. 4,440,029 to the leaf springs as shown in the inventor's prior U.S. Pat. No. 4,550,619. However, the universal approach was to support the plate from the chute or other surrounding stationary structure and to do so in as friction free a manner as possible.
In the prior art, it was thought that supporting the plate from the chute or other surrounding stationary structure would help to improve the accuracy of the measurement made by the force transducer by minimizing the effect of the plate mass on the force transducer measurement. Ideally, it was thought that elimination of this effect would result in a force reading based solely on the mass of the material which impacted the plate. Therefore, a significant amount of inventive effort was spent in devising various suspensions which attempted to achieve a frictionless support for the plate, with the force transducer being coupled directly to the plate but not serving in any manner to support the weight of the plate. Although many different approaches were taken in the prior art, inherent limitations in creating a frictionless support, and maintaining its adjustment as it operated, were a constant source of error in the flow rate reading.
It is further noted that, to the best of the inventor's knowledge and experience, little or no effort was made to control the temperature at which the flow rate sensor operated. For a large number of applications, the flow rate sensor would be mounted in an environment which did not have a controlled temperature such that a temperature differential of 40� F. or even more could be experienced between a mid-afternoon and a middle of the night run of material. While the force transducer which was typically used in a flow rate device had a fairly accurate output, and that output would be subject to only a minimal variation over what may otherwise be considered to be a wide operating temperature range, for those applications requiring greater accuracy the temperature variation did introduce a significant error. This is caused by several factors.
First of all, it is not uncommon for a force transducer to be utilized in a flow rate sensor which operated at values much less than the full scale reading for the force transducer. Typically, the offset error due to temperature was expressed as a small percentage of the full scale reading. While this error may not be significant if the force transducer is being utilized at its full scale reading, it becomes quite significant for those applications and flow rates for which the force transducer operates at half or less of its full scale reading, as is typical. Thus, for low flow rates, the inaccuracies introduced by the temperature factor become significant.
Still another aspect of the temperature offset is the fact that the offset varies as the temperature varies, although that variation is generally within the rated range of the device. For example, the temperature offset introduced by operating the force transducer at 30� F. can and usually does differ from the offset introduced by operating the force transducer at 70� F. Therefore, the flow rate of the device can be calibrated while the ambient temperature is at 30� F. to eliminate the temperature offset, but this calibration is lost when the temperature changes from that 30� F. to some other temperature. Thus, an operator may calibrate a flow rate sensor at one temperature, thereby believing that he has eliminated the all extraneous effects from the device, and the device may then shift out of calibration merely through a change in the ambient temperature. Recalibration at the second ambient temperature may temporarily eliminate the temperature offset again, but a return to the previous ambient temperature reintroduces that temperature offset. As might be expected, this can be a frustrating experience for an operator who is not aware of or does not recognize that the flow rate device is designed to utilize a force transducer at only a small portion of its full scale reading such that the temperature offset represents a significant error for low flow rates.
To solve these and other problems of the prior art, the inventor herein has taken a different approach by mounting and suspending the sensing plate directly from the force transducer, there being no other coupling or supporting mechanism connecting the sensing plate to the surrounding chute or other support structure. In effect, the inventor has cantilevered the plate from the force transducer into the chute and in the path of the stream of flowing material. By doing so, the suspension system for the plate which, in the prior art, coupled it to the chute or other support has been completely eliminated, along with the inherent mechanical limitations necessarily present in those suspensions.
More specifically, a pair of beam members cantilever mount the plate directly from the force transducer. These beam members are each generally comprised of a threaded rod which is screwed into the force transducer at one end and coupled to the plate at the other end with a nut. A tube, which could be a length of conduit, surrounds the threaded rod and is compressed between the plate and the force transducer by the force of the nut being tightened onto the rod. This tube provides additional strength and stability. The plate itself is comprised of a pair of pans which are nested together and attached along their edges such that the inner pan is connected to the beam members, and the outer pan is completely flat and smooth. It is this outer pan which is presented to the stream of granular material and acts as a replaceable wear surface. A collar member surrounds one of the beam members and includes several adjusting screws which permit adjustment of clearance between the beam member and the collar. The collar serves as a mechanical limit or stop to prevent excessive damage to the unit should the plate or beam members go out of alignment, or upon failure of the force transducer. The force transducer is mounted in an enclosure, with the beam members extending through the sidewall of the enclosure. To seal the enclosure from dust and other environmental conditions, a pair of dust seals are mounted to the enclosure and the tubes, the dust seals having a bellow-like construction to permit unrestricted reciprocating movement between the beam members and the enclosure as the dry flow sensor operates. The enclosure is mounted to the chute by brackets, so that there is a rigid connection between the force transducer, its enclosure, and the chute.
In order to eliminate the temperature offset problems, in a second embodiment the inventor has enclosed the force transducer in an insulated enclosure, and mounted it directly to the cold plate of a solid state thermoelectric heat pump. A temperature sensor is recess mounted in the force transducer and a control utilizing a computer and a set of relays senses the temperature of the force transducer, compares it with a desired temperature as input by an operator, selects either heat or cool by switching the proper relays, and then powers the thermoelectric cooler with a variable voltage to select just the correct amount of heating or cooling required to bring the temperature of the force transducer back to its desired level.
As a further feature of the dry flow sensor of the present invention, a second force transducer may be mounted in the enclosure and loaded with a counterweight substantially equal to the dynamic load of the first force transducer. Thus, the output of the second force transducer is representative of the vibrational forces in the chute which are also induced in the first force transducer. Although in the prior art mention is made of compensating for vibrational forces, with other designs utilizing plates suspended directly from the chute, these vibrational forces were induced through the plate suspension as well as the force transducer mounting, with possibly some interaction between them. Therefore, with prior art designs it was not readily discernible how to accurately reproduce these vibrational forces, and compensate for them due to the use of multiple suspensions for various portions of the dry flow sensor. However, in the present design wherein the plate is supported directly from the force transducer with no other connection being made to the surrounding structure, the effect of these vibrational forces may be very accurately reproduced by hanging a dummy load substantially equal to the plate and beam support members directly from a second force transducer. The output of these two force transducers may then be summed to subtract out the inaccuracies in the force measurement caused by forces other than the impacting stream of material against the plate. Of course, the dummy load can be scaled down and the output may be multiplied to determine the correction factor or, the second force transducer may even be outfitted with a second plate and beam suspension.
While some of the principle advantages and features of the present invention have been described above, a more thorough understanding may be gained by referring to the drawings and description of the preferred embodiments which follow.

As shown in FIG. 1, a dry flow sensor system 20 may be comprised of a dry flow sensor unit 22 which is mounted to a chute 24 through which a stream of granular material is fed by a feeder 26. The output, which is typically analog, may be converted to a digital signal by a digitizer 28 and fed to a computer 30 which may have a timing source 32 which it utilizes to calculate a flow rate for material. The computer 30 may then control the amount of dry material flowing through the chute 24 by producing a digital output signal to a D/A converter 34 which, in turn, controls a variable frequency drive 36 to speed up or slow down the feeder 26 and thereby control the flow of material.
The improved dry flow sensor 22 of the present invention is best shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 and includes a first force transducer 38 mounted in an enclosure 40, the enclosure 40 being supported from the sidewall of chute 24 by a plurality of bracket members 42. The force transducer 38 is generally comprised of three block assemblies 44, 46, and 48. As best shown in FIG. 3, a pair of screws 52 attach the upper ends of blocks 44, 46 in close proximity. Similarly, a pair of screws 54 attach blocks 46, 48 at their lower ends in close proximity. Parts of block 46 ar machined away such that there is clearance between it and blocks 44, 48 at the alternate ends thereof, thereby permitting limited relative movement therebetween when a force directly perpendicular to beam 56 impinges on block 48. The amount of travel between adjacent blocks 46 and 44, 48 is limited by a stop screw 58 and countersunk screw 60 at the lower end and through a similar arrangement with stop screw 62 and countersunk screw 64 at the upper end. The output of force transducer 38 is produced by strain gauges 66, 68 which are mounted on beam 56. This force transducer is commercially available from Hottinger Baldwin Measurements.
As seen from the construction of force transducer 38, it is inherently limited to travel in the horizontal direction as shown in the drawing Furthermore, its construction provides enough resistance to radial torquing that it is capable of supporting a plate assembly 66 through a pair of cantilever beam members 68, 70. Cantilever beam member 68 is the same as cantilever beam member 70 and thus, only one such beam member shall be described. Beam member 68 is comprised of an interior threaded rod member 72 which is screwed into block 48 of force transducer 38. At its outer end, a nut 74 is threaded onto threaded rod 72 to attach the plate assembly 66 thereto with a tubular member 76 surrounding threaded rod 72 and being held in place through the compression between plate assembly 66 and block 48. Thus, tube member 76 provides additional stability and strength to beam member 68, and also serves as a spacer to hold the plate assembly 66 at a predetermined distance from the force transducer 38.
The plate assembly 66 is generally comprised of a pair of plates or pans 78, 80 which are nested within each other and held together by a plurality of nut and bolt assemblies 82. The inner plate or pan 80 provides the wear surface against which the stream of granular material impacts, and is therefore smooth and flat. The outer plate or pan 78 has a pair of holes for receiving the ends of threaded rods 72 as necessary for securing the plate assembly 66. As best shown in FIG. 2, there is some spacing provided between pans 78, 80 to accommodate the nut 74 and end of threaded rod 72.
A pair of dust seals 84 surround the two beam members 68, 70 at the enclosure 40 and seal it from the entry of dust or other contaminates. The dust seal 84 is best shown in greater detail in FIG. 4. It includes an outer washer member 86 which is directly secured, along with a bellows member 88 by a bead of RTV 90, or some other similar fixative. At the inboard end, a second metal washer 92 surrounds tube member 76, but does not touch it to provide free movement therebetween. One or more screws 94 secure metallic washer 92 and the inboard end of bellows 88 to the sidewall of enclosure 40. As shown in FIG. 4, the bellows-like device 88 permits limited free movement between the beam 70 and the enclosure sidewall 40 while sealing it at both ends, thereby preventing the entry of contaminates to the interior of enclosure 40.
As best shown in FIG. 5, an annular collar member 96 substantially surrounds upper beam member 70 and is welded to the chute 24. Three adjustment screws 98 are placed around the periphery of collar 96 to permit adjustment of the clearance therebetween. Collar 96 and screws 98 therefore mechanically limit the downward deflection of beam member 70 to protect the force transducer 38 from damage due to excessive radial movement of plate assembly 66 and beam members 68, 70.
As shown in FIG. 2, a second force transducer 100 may be mounted inside enclosure 40 and loaded with a counterweight 102 substantially equal to the dynamic load on force transducer 38. This dynamic load is comprised of the plate assembly 66 and beam members 68, 70. As shown in FIG. 1, the outputs from both force transducers 38, 100 may be utilized in the control circuit 20 to cancel out that portion of the detected force which results from vibrational forces in the chute 24, or which are otherwise not attributable to the impacting of material against plate assembly 66. As an alternative, counterweight 102 may be scaled and the output of force transducer 100 adjusted accordingly, or a second plate and beam assembly may be used in place of counterweight 102.
A second embodiment 104 of the dry flow sensor of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 6-8, and includes many of the same details of construction of the first embodiment. Essentially, a substantially vertically aligned plate assembly 106 is cantilever mounted from the movable portion of a force transducer 108 by a pair of beam assemblies 110. Additionally, dust shields 111 are mounted to beam assemblies 110 instead of dust seals 84, and a slightly different plate assembly 106 is shown. Also, a heat shield 113 is mounted between the chute 24 and the dry flow sensor 104 to minimize the transfer of heat therebetween. However, the key difference is that the force transducer 108 is mounted to a thermoelectric heat pump 112, and layers of insulation 114 are used to line the enclosure 116 in order to help regulate the temperature of force transducer 108. As best shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8, force transducer 108 is mounted to an adapter plate 116 by four countersunk screws 118. Similarly, the cold plate 120 of heat pump 112 is mounted to an adapter plate 122 by four countersunk screws 124. Adapter plates 116, 122 are held together by four screws 126 as shown in FIG. 8. Six bolt and spacer assemblies 128 hold the body of heat pump 112 to the enclosure 116. A second set of bolt and spacer assemblies 130 support the cold plate 120 from the enclosure 116. Thus, a very solid and rigid connection is made between the enclosure 116, heat pump 112, and force transducer 108 as is necessary to support the cantilever mount of plate assembly 106 through beams 110 from the movable member of force transducer 108. Although not shown, a second force transducer could be utilized as shown in the first embodiment to eliminate the effects of vibration in the support.
As shown in FIG. 9, a computer 132 is the heart of the control 134 for the heat pump 112. A thermal probe sensor 136 (also shown in FIG. 7) is directly mounted to the force transducer 108 and senses its temperature which is amplified and converted to a digital signal by amplifier/digitizer 138, the output of which is input to computer 132. Computer 132 provides the means by which an operator can input a desired temperature, and it compares the actual temperature with desired temperature and selects from a set of relays 140 whether the heat pump 112 should be operating in a heating or cooling mode. Also, computer 132 produces an output which is amplified and converted to an analog signal by D/A converter and amplifier 142 which powers heat pump 112 to bring the temperature of force transducer 108 back to its desired level.
There are various changes and modifications which may be made to the invention as would be apparent to those skilled in the art. However, these changes or modifications are included in the teaching of the disclosure, and it is intended that the invention be limited only by the scope of the claims appended hereto.

Binnein an Fhidhleir, one of the Arrochar Alps, is a mountain in southern Scotland. It is located above Butterbridge on the north side the A83 road facing Beinn an Lochain to the south. The mountain has several tops, including Creag Bhrosgan (711 m); Stob Coire Creagach, which replaced Binnein an Fhidhleir as the Marilyn in April 2006 [2] at 817 m; one without any name at all at 748 metre; and Binnein an Fhidhleir itself, further to the west,[3] at 811 m. Although Stob Coire Creagach is the highest summit, the name Binnein an Fhidhleir is generally used for the whole mountain.
The shortest route of ascent is directly up the hillside above Butterbridge, where there is a carpark. A number of small crags must be avoided, and the route is steep and unrelenting. Alternatively, the hill may be ascended from further up Glen Kinglas by way of Binnein an Fhidhleir's northern ridge: although longer this route is considerably less steep.

Is there a simple and efficient way to get the number of visitors who have a given web page open?
The ultimate goal is to do this:
- Check how many visitors there are on the page, i.e. who have the page open in their browser.
- If it exceeds a certain number
n, display a button. The first
xvisitors who press the button would go to a different page.
- As long as there are more than
nvisitors, the button will keep displaying. If not, the button disappears.
Any trick for doing this? Long-polling? Websocket? The simpler the better.
