Life in the Fast Lane
When you visit Eddie Griffins official website (www.eddiegriffin.tv), youll be hard pressed to find anything really helpful or current. In fact the last update promotes Griffin in his next big screen role, 2005s Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. Theres no mention of his work in the Razzie nominated Norbit, let alone his recent brush with death (a Youtube favorite). Last March, Griffin completely totaled a Ferrari Enzo while promoting the film Redline. The event earned him the title Worlds Dumbest Driver on one cable clip show.
Its possible hes just too busy to worry about updating his website, or maybe doesnt really feel like re-living those moments. Whatever the reason, Mr. Griffin has decided to take a break from his busy schedule and get back to what hes famous for: great stand-up comedy. Hell be appearing at the Improv Paradise Live this Friday and Saturday. Lets hope he hires some sort of transportation service to assure his safe arrival.
The Improv is located at 5700 Seminole Way in Hollywood. Tickets cost $26.50. Visit improvftl.com for showtimes, or call the box office at 954-981-5653.

Dow Chemical picks Freeport, Texas, for new ethylene cracker
FREEPORT, TEXAS (April 19, 1:35 p.m. ET) — Dow Chemical Co. has chosen Freeport as the site of a new plant making ethylene, a key plastics feedstock. Low prices for natural gas in North America played a role in Dow's decision, since natural gas can be used to make ethane, which is then converted into ethylene.

AbstractIn the production of large, complex therapeutic proteins, animal cells are preferred as the biocatalyst. Various types of production bioreactors are employed including deep-stirred and sparged tanks (with or without microcarriers), cell-immobilizing matrices, and fluidized beds of porous microcarriers. We have invented a new cell-retention technique using a centrifuge to remove and return living cells from the harvest to the bioreactor. According to the literature, this is a first-time achievement. Preliminary tests indicate high cell density, viability, cell-specific productivity relative to other animal-cell bioreactors. The objective of Phase I is to test this invention beyond the single cell line that has been tested in the laboratory to establish its feasibility as an economically important bioreactor for large-scale animal-cell culture in the production of therapeutic proteins. An extension of the work in Phase II will confirm its economic value at beta-sites in the biopharmaceutical industry and will extend its application to plant and insect cells. In Phase III, the centrifugal cell-retention bioreactor will be commercialized to become an important new bioprocessing tool.

It seems that all MMOs these days are based around the same structure - kill shit, level up, get better gear, repeat. I'm not saying this formula doesn't make great games (I used to be a hardcore FFXI player), but eventually people are going to want something new.
One such title that does this is a game developed by Linden Lab called "Second Life"; a MMO with no missions or objectives and is solely based on human interactions and customizations. This idea really intrigued me and when I searched the web to learn more, all I could find was articles talking about having sex in the game. AWESOME.
Instead of learning more about building houses, running a business, and all the other boring stuff in "Second Life" - all I cared about was digital pixels fucking each other. So basically what I've learned is that there are sex clubs, slave renting, and public porno theaters - everything cool about real life!
As much as I'm intrigued about playing a game where I can pay virtual currency to have sex with squirrels claiming their "hot sexy babes", I think I'll have to pass. Though, it is kind of cool to role-play having sex, well, not really (I just had an image of strip D&D and the prepubescent dungeon master with a bad case of acne stands up and declares "Due to thou extensive training in masturbating, my dungeon troll shall receive intercourse skill +1").
Back on point: I think somewhere down the road MMOs will be more like "Second Life" in that the game is simply based on interactions between players and you basically just give them some tools that allow them to make their own fun. Let people live out their darkest fantasies without worrying if the girl they just payed to take nude photos of is older than 18. MMO GTA Hot Coffee - now we're talking.
Oh wait...I promised teledildonics. Come on say it outloud it's so much better, TELE - DILD - ONICS. Yeah so basically teledildonics is taking cyber-sex to the next level in that you can basically control a sex toy by using the internet. That's right, in the future by using the power of video games, we will finally experience how it feels like to get fucked in the ass.
Well I really shouldn't say the future because some dude over at slashdong.org (I left the hyperlink out on purpose: Don't go there!) modded his xbox controller so when the vibration kicks in a dildo turns on. Finally, a way to get girls to play Halo!
Wow I think someone needs to alert sony that by taking out force feedback from the PS3 controller they are losing their HUGE teledildonics fan base.

RODEZ, France -- The message all week long for the USA Basketball U17 national team has been one of measuring itself against its own criteria, not the opposition. For the second game in a row the American team came out fast, allowing just four points in the first quarter to Turkey, leading to an 84-55 victory.
But it was far from the perfect 40 minutes, as the team showed some mental fatigue fighting through the Turkish screens in the second quarter and, in all, giving up 33 shots from behind the arc. The Turkish team used the 3-ball to cut a 24-point lead late in the third quarter down to 16 at the 8:52 mark of the fourth quarter.
The breakdown was defending screens as the perimeter players stopped communicating leading to misreads, half-switches and most of all wide open looks for Turkey who shook off a 0-10 start from three to go 10-of-21 the rest of the way.
This strategy is the one every team is going to deploy against the Americans, with the exception of maybe Australia who has a strong interior team.
"After the first period we passed the ball really (well) and we found the 3-point shot," Turkey head coach Hasan Firat Okul said. "Of course in the paint we lost it because of the physical things. (They were) physically better than us today so we lost it in the paint but our 3-point shot wasn't so bad."
The tone of the press conference after the game was one of some disappointment as head coach Barb Nelson attributed the defensive lapses to the mental fatigue of playing four games in five days.
"We started off very good," Morgan Tuck, who scored 11 points to tie Jewell Loyd for the team high, said. "Defensive intensity was good so the offense was better. And I think as the game went on we, kind of, weren't as focused. I guess we didn't take it as serious as we should have. And then I think we had spurts where we played hard but we were giving up a lot of threes and just not communicating.
Turnovers were also an issue for Team USA. For the first time in the tournament, USA turned the ball over more times than its opponent (22-20). That's not all on the USA; Turkey is a feisty and highly competitive group.
"When a team is switching defenses, whether it's man or zone our guards have to recognize that and get us into something so that five players are on the same page," Nelson said. "I felt like when we took Ariel Massengale off the floor we struggled to do that. We struggled to communicate and get five players on the same page."
The team utilizes Jewell Loyd, a natural shooting guard and Jordan Adams, who was starting on the wing earlier in the tournament, as their backup point guards, perhaps exposing a lack of roster depth at the position, though both are more than capable of getting it done at the point and have done so in spurts. Adams was the starting point guard for the No. 1 ranked team in the country this past season, Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif.
"Normally we are an inside-out team and today it looks like we tried to go outside-in instead," Nelson added, "and I think we have to be more focused on where are strength is and where we have an advantage."
On the positive side, the team started out strong, something it failed to do in its first two games against France and Russia. The team is now poised to finish first in the Rodez pool.
Every player on the team took at least three shots and scored at least four points. The question may loom as bracket play inches closer, if the rotation will shorten and if specific players and strengths will be utilized with more focus or if the even use of all 12 players will continue.

My parents commented to me that they were craving this soup, so I found this recipe and made it for them. They absolutely loved it! The flavors were wonderful and they said it tasted like they remembered it tasting! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. I will definetly be making it again.
A delicious, hearty soup, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour. It was very easy to make. I do not own a crock pot, so I cooked it on the stove top over low heat. I did the first step (meat, onions, broth and tomatoes) for 1 1/2 hours. Then I added the rest of the ingredients, and cooked that for another 1 1/2 hours. The result was perfect. Didn't even have to add salt or pepper. I did substitute green cabbage for red cabbage, as I don't like red cabbage. I also added fresh thyme and rosemary, two bay leaves and caraway seeds, as I love a very robust flavor. Also threw in two yukon gold potatoes, cut in chunks, same time as the carrots, as I wanted it to be a meal in itself. This soup was fantastic with a thick slice of Jewish rye bread, slathered with creamy butter. Yummmm!
Deeeeee-licious! I threw everything in the crockpot at the same time and cooked on low for 6 hours. It was wonderful! The cabbage still had a slight crunch, and everything else was very tender and flavorful. I used the optional carrots. This soup is going to be one of my new crockpot favorites! Thanx for sharing your recipe.
This is a wonderful recipe that I altered slightly to give it more of a stew consistency. I reduced the beef broth to 2 cups and the lemon juice and sugar to ¼ cups. I opted out as far as the celery and carrots were concerned. Just before serving, I experimented with adding some potato flakes to thicken the liquid. Either way it's a great meal!
My family enjoyed this recipe. I made it almost exactly as written with the exception of using only 5 cups of beef broth and using more tomatoes instead of the tomato sauce since I found out I was out of tomato sauce. Also I had it on high the first hour and added the rest of the ingredients and turned it to low for about 5 1/2 hours since I had to go out. Next time I will cut back the sugar a bit since it seemed that the sweet and sour balance was off a bit likely because I had used less broth. I think I am happy with the balance of solids to liquid though so will keep this at only 5 cups broth. I ran into one slight problem in preparation, I have a 3 1/2 quart crockpot and it was filled right up to the brim where the lid sits so I had to divide it between 2 smaller pots since I don't have a larger crockpot. I think you can figure on more like 8 servings from this recipe. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Figure 6 is a developed projection upon a fiat surface of the device, designed to show it operation. In that figure the first position, A, shows the chamber 38 being charged through a port 20 with compressed air. The second position, B, shows the chamber, having been charged with compressed air, being charged through port 20a with fuel, such a gasoline. The third position, C, shows the chamber making contact with a spark plug which ignites the charge. Position D indicates the chamber sealed while the charge is given time to burn. Position E shows the chamber being charged through tube- 2| with water under pressure. At position F the chamber is being discharged through the port 20bwhile water under pressure is forced in through tube 2la. At position G the chamber is being exhausted through port 200 while being simultaneously charged with water through tube 2|b. In position H the chamber is being exhausted through port 20d while being charged with water under pressure through port 2 lo. At position I the chamber is being scavenged of residuary gases through Me by steam formed from water injected through tube Zld.
In Figures 4 and is shown the regenerative washer. From the port 20b the high pressure gases pass to a regenerative washer which is in-- dicated generally as 50. 5| i a hot plate which deflects the gases and extracts from them particles of carbon and the like which are caught in the trap 52 and may be removed through the valve 53; 54 is' an elbow in the pipe which reverses the direction of the gases as shown by the arrows;
55 'are heat transfer tubes arranged in the passageway about which the gases pass; 56 is a washer to be kept filled with water at high preconduit 60.
r This device cleans the gases, reduces them to a condition containing wet steam at the temperature. and pressure in the chamber 56, and superheats them by passage through tubes 55. This through belt and pulley 33 to turn the shaft 3|. The shaft 3| is mounted in a centering bearing. The planar faces of the head and rotor are kept in sealing contact by fluid pressure. The word planar is not intended as a limitation to a flat surface, but more properly to a surface formed by the rotation of a straight line about a center. The surfaces so formed can be cylindrical, conical, or fiat, conical being preferred. If the resultant of the total pressures from the chamber is well within the middle third of the total pressures from the bottom, there will be no tendency for the two units to separate at their surface. The cooling water pump, the air compressor, the fuel pump, and the magneto are started. The magneto need not be set to coincide with the arrival of the chambers beneath the spark plug but may beset tospark with such rapidity that no chamber will pass beneath the plug without being subjected to at least one spark. It can be timed if desirable. However, an object of my invention is to produce a device which is a nearly automatic is function as possible, requiring no valves and a minimum of timing apparatus, so in the preferred form of my invention no timer will be needed. The air compressor drives intothe tube 20 air under high pressure. The distance between chamber necks is such that the opening 20 in the head will not bridge two chambers. When a chamber comes in contact with the tube 20, it is automatically charged with air under pressure The residuary steam in the chamber is simultaneously condensed as is shown in positions A and B of Figure 6. After the chamber rotates out of contact with the tube 20, it comes in beneath the tube 20a through which gasoline, alcohol, fuel oil, or powdered coal is injected in an amount and at a velocity sufiicient to produce a perfect combustible mixture in a state of high turbulence. During these steps of the process, the tube 4l-42 is sealed at its upper end by the planar surface of the head. When the charged chamber reaches position C, it is ignited by sparks from the plug. Any other satisfactory known method of igniting charges under compression may be employed.
After it is ignited, the chamber passes to position D during which the burning continues to substantial completion, the chamber being completely sealed.
Shortly after the device has been started in op- .eration, the water pump for injection is started regenerative washer can be eliminated from the apparatus, if hotter, less perfectly conditioned gases are wanted,
My power generator operates as follows: The drive for the burning unit is started and operates and as the chamber, whose operation I am describing, comes to position E, a charge of water under pressure passes through the tube 2| and the tube 4 l42 into the chamber where it is vaporized by the hot gases. This serves the double function of reducing the excessive heat of combustion below that at which it will melt the surfaces in contact with it, and of producing a high pressure within the chamber. As the chamber reaches position F, it is alined with tube 20b and 2la in the head. Tube 20b is the high pressure take-off. Tube! I a gives a. further injection of water which helps to expel the charge, control the temperature, and simultaneously to produce further steam within the chamber. As the chamber reaches position G thetube 200 receives the intermediate pressure from the chamber and tube Zlbcharges the chamber with additional water, further tempering the temperature, and producing more steam. At position H the contents of the chamsoot, and tar. but in order to scavenge the chamber completely, it is passed to position I where additional water is injected into the chamber in quantities sumcient to blow rcsiduary particles and spent gases out through the opening c by the formation of steam.
The apparatus is designedly without valves. Each operation is begunand ended'with direct contact of the openings in the chamber and the head. During the operation of the device, there will be a certain amount of unbalanced pressure on the side having positions D and E, but this is insufficient to overcome the pressure of the fluids against the bottom of the rotor. It is intended in the preferred form of the invention that the load shall be balanced by fluid pressure against the bottom of the rotor. For this .purpose pressure rings seal the top of the rotor so that the pressure within the chambers, if it escapes from the chamber past the planar faces of the head and rotor, cannot escape from the apparatus. Likewise, the outer rings prevent the fluid pressure beneath the rotor from passing thereabove and conversely. The cooling water is forced by a pump through the opening 12 into a chamber where it serves to cool the rotor to a point suflicient to maintain its strength and also serves to hold the rotor in sealing contact with the head. Water becomes heated and turns to steam under certain conditions of operation and, as indicated in-Figure 2, when that happens, the steam is collected in the steam header l9. Thus the flow of cooling water in the arrangement is from the water pump to the base of the casing and to the steam header in the form of steam. By similar conduit I 1 water enters the head, steam therefrom being carried to the header by the pipe l0. Water collecting in the header by condensation or otherwise may be drained off from time to time through suitable drain cocks, notv shown; but under conditions of normal operation no water will be found there except in the form of steam.
Looking now at the arrangement (Figure '7), the air compressor, fuel pump and water injector force their respective charges into the chambers in sequence, from which they are discharged into the high pressure take-off, the intermediate pressure take-off, and the low pressure take-off. The charge in the high pressure'take-ofi goes into the regenerative washer and to the high pressure engine. The regenerative washer is so called because the heat in the charge coming to it is first reduced by passage through water and then regenerated by passage through tubes about which fresh hot charges are passing. This regenerative washer is the last cleaning and tempering step in the conditioning of the charge. As it leaves this apparatus it is an ideal medium for the operation of turbine, expansible chamber or other gas operated engines. The intermediate pressure take-oh, steam from the steam header and the exhaust from the high pressure engine, are mixed and conducted to an intermediate pressure engine, the exhaust from which is in turn mixed with gases from the low pressure take-off and sent to a low pressure. engine. The exhaust from the low pressure engine, which still contains heat, goes to an ordinary water tube heat exchanger where the water supply is given a preliminary heating.
By my arrangement not only the heat of combustion which is retained in the contents of the chambers, but that which escapes through the walls is used in theproduction of gssunder Pressure.
The water charges to be used in the various stages of the engine can be varied by due variation in the size of the openings through which they are admitted. Alternatively openings of standard size can be used and appropriate adjustable valves of the needle or other type can be used to measure the charge which is admitted in each position as shown in Figure 2 at IIV. The device need not have three takeoifs but may have a lesser or a greater number, depending upon the engineering requirements of a particular project.
The foregoing apparatus can be used with great efilciency in an inverted position, that is with the head downward. When so used, the cooling water is kept about the rotor where its efiect is needed, and solid particles of carbon and the like are more easily ejected from the combustion chambers. In normal operation, therefore, the apparatus shown in the drawings will be inverted. The only change necessary to accomplish this is to connect the present steam outlets from the head and casing to the present water lines from the pumps, conversely connecting the present inlets in the head and casing to the steam header. Some slight rearrangement in the location of the ports may be necessary to secure the most favorable operation.
A preferred form of the invention, embodying the inverted principle, is shown in Figures 11 and 12. In those figures 300 is ,a casing; 30l is a head; 302 are bolts connecting .the head and the casing; 303 is a rotor; 304 is a conical machined face forming part of the head; 305 is a conforming conical machined face forming part of the rotor; the head has an outer ring 306 and an inner chamber 301 which are separated from each other by the circular wall 308; 306A represents the chamber surrounding the rotor; 309 is a chamber lining of refractory material; 3l0 are ports through the head, alined with the openings in the chambers, for the purposes of charging and discharging as hereinbefore explained; 3 are the ports for the admission of expansible fluids so arranged that the admission of the expansible fluid takes place at a point remote from the opening in the face; 3|! are inlets for cooling water into the chambers 306 of the outer ring of the head; 3l3 are ports through the said ring admitting the cooling water to the interior of the casing 300. This chamber is preferably provided with a means for maintaining a definite water level. Such means are well known in the art of steam engines and will not be specifically described in this connection. 3 is a conduit for the admission of cooling water to the central chamber 301 of the head; 3|! are openings from the chamber into the space 3l6 formed by the inner cylindrical wall of the rotor. This space need not be provided with a means for maintaining the cooling water below a definite level because any excess will flow out of the tube 318 and through a simple water. trap locatedin a low point of that tube; the water trap being of any satisfactory, known variety is not shown; 3|! is a conduit for withdrawing steam from the casing; 3"! is a conduit or tube for withdrawing steam from the space M6; M9 is a tube for injecting cooling water upon certain central portions of the rotor; 320 is a circular removable cap piece on the chamber, whose removal permits the replacement of the chamber linings; 329 are bolts holding the cap piece in place.
The operation of the device will be sumciently understood from the preceding description. This form of the invention has the following advantages: If fuel contains ash and carbon or if solid particles are left by the burning, it'is easier to remove such particles from the bottom than from the top. It is easier to scavenge chambers so arranged. The considerations of centrifugal force also enter this design. For example, if the member is to be rotated at 600 R. P. M. and a radius to the outside of the chamber of 9 in., centrifugal force will equal about '70 times gravity. At such speeds, consequently, it is desirable to form the chambers as shown in Figure 13 in order that the chambers themselves by their construction have a scavenging tendency due to the centrifugal forces set up by rotation.
The refractory material for the walls of the chambers may be formed separately and slid into position or they may be formed of plastic material and allowed to harden in'the chamber.
There are many forces acting upon the rotor,
some of which tend to force it against the head and of which others tend to force it awayfrom the head. The pressure within the casing and outside the rotor, which is equal to the pressure from the pump and from the steam which is formed by evaporation, acts to thrust the rotor against the head. The high pressures generated within the combustion chambers are opposed by pressures of similar magnitude outside the chambers so that the tendency of the pressures within to leak at the joint are opposed more successfully than they would be by pressure rings. The conical faces of thehead and rotor center the rotor so that a centering bearing is not needed. The charges within the chambers tend to separate the faces. operation which would occur frequently, the total pressure outside the rotor would-so greatly exceed the pressure within the chamber that unnecessary friction would be set up between the faces. It is, therefore, advisable to provide a means for adjusting the pressure between the faces so that they will'just be maintained in sealing contact.
This is accomplished by the apparatus which will now be described.
In Figure 11 and Figure 14, 320 is a valve in the pipe 3!!! which has heretofore been described;
32I is a valve stem;-322 is a block pivoted on trunnions 323 in which the valve stem 32! is slidably mounted; 324 is a spring between the block and plate 325 which is aflixed to the valve stem. By raising and lowering the block 322 the pressure on the spring 324 and on the valve 320 can be decreased or increased, respectively. If it is increased, a greater pressure in space 3|6 and pipe 3? will be required to displace the valve; if it is decreased, a less pressure in the pipe 3l8 will displace the valve. By this means, therefore,
the pressure in the space 3H5 can be varied. The
remaining description will explain how it is varied so as t maintain a substantially constant and slight friction between the faces of the rotor and the head.
Motor in Figure 11 is a. motor; Gear is a speed reducing gear; 330 is a, plate driven by the speed reducing gear; 33l is one member of a spring controlled screw clutch for transmitting the motion of the plate 330 to the rotor; 338 is the second member of the spring controlled screw clutch. The member 33! is attached by bolts 332 to the member 330. 333 is a shaft aflixed to the rotor passing freely through the member 33l; 334 is a nut on the end of the shaft 333 which also makes However, under certain conditions of no contact with the member 33L The member 338 is a screw threaded in the member 33| by a thread of long pitch, and keyed to the shaft 333 by key 335, but is slidable lengthwise of the shaft. Between the member 338 and a member 338 aifixed to the shaft, is a coil spring 331. 340 is a lever pivoted to fixedsuppo 't 34!; the lever is preferably made of twoarms, connected together by crosspieces 342, which carry in their ends the trunnions 323 of block 322; 343 is a ring mounted in member 338; 344 are trunnions in the said ring mounted in the arms of the lever.
If the pressure per square inch in chambers 3l6 and the combustion chambers, that is the combined pressure within the rotor, is equal to the pressure per square inch in chamber 306A, the friction between the abutting conical faces may needlessly retard the turning of the rotor because the differential between the inner and outer pressures may be too great. As the motor tries to turn it, the parts of the screw clutch move with respect to one another compressing the main spring and moving the arm 340 down against the spring 324 so that a greater pressure in space 3H5 and pipe'3l8 is necessary to lift the valve 011 its seat. The pressure within the rotor then rises until it is sufficient to counteract the excess pressure exerted on the outside of the rotor by the spring 331 and the pressure within the casing. In general, it is intended that the pressure should be generated by the formation of steam within the chamber itself but other means of increasing the pressure, for instance, by increasing the liquid pressure from without, by increasing the pressure exerted by the water pumps, may be adopted. As the load is relieved by the increase of pressure within, freer rotation of the rotor starts, the main spring expands, the fulcrum arm springs up, the valve spring pressure is reduced until the 40 steam in pipe 3l8 leaks past the valve 320 at a rate which keeps the pressures so balanced that substantially free rotation of the rotor is insured while at the same time the faces are maintained in sealing contact. In general it will be found satisfactory to change the springs if a different relationship of pressure is desired. By the correct selection of springs. this adjustment may be very fine.
The pipe 350, which is shown beyond the valve 320, may be connected with the pipe 3" under some circumstances and under other circumstances it may be made to discharge into the air or to any other space where it can be utilized.
As the motor drives the gear in a clockwise direction, viewed from above, the member 33l drives the member 338 through the friction which exists between. their interfitting screw threads. When the total pressure which tends to force the member 303 against the seat 304 increases to a point where the speed of the rotor is reduced, the member 33| will turn faster than the member 338, forcing the member 338 down, compr ssing the spring 331 and through the arms 340 compressing the spring 324 so that the valve 320 is held with greater force upon its seat. The pressure within space 3l6, which is a force tendin to separate the element 303 from the face 304, increases since it is confined by the valve 320, until it, together with the other forces tending to separate the faces, balances the pressure acting upon the outside of the rotor. While this is occurring, the friction between the screw threads of the clutch pressure between the rotor and the face 304, whereupon elements 33I and 338 rotate again as one element. The pressure in 316 continues to increase, being confined by the valve 320, until it unseats the valve. As the valve is unseated, it compresses the spring 324 and acts through arm 340 to move the element 338 upward on the screw of element 33I.
In order for the device to operate, the gen erator 303 must be turned and must remain in sealing contact with the face 304. There are many changing conditions which increase or decrease the power required to rotate the generator and which make it advisable to employ means to equalize the power requirements. As indicated in Figure 2, a direct motor drive may be used without such equalizing means provided the motor used is large enough. In general, however, it is of advantage to use a powerequalizing means in order to employ a smaller motor. For example, when the rotor is started, there may be no high explosive pressures in the chambers to help relieve the pressure which forces the rotor against the face 304 and which, consequently, would cause greater friction and require more power for rotation. The means used to balance this pressure must be such that the pressure outside the rotor will be greater than the pressure inside, although the differential need not be great. Otherwise, the rotor would be unseated and the pressures within the combustion chambers would escape. To accomplish this purpose I have devised the apparatus shown in Figures 11, 11A, and 11B. In those figures the chamber 3|6, which is under pressure as has been hereinabove described, is connected through pipes 3l8, 350, and 311 to chamber 306A, but there is placed in that pipe line a valve which is capable of raising the pressure in chamber 316 by sealing the pressures within chamber 3I6 where they accumulate. Similarly the pressure in chamber 316 is reduced by the unseating of the sealing valve. In order to keep the pressures in chambers 305A and 3l6 in proper relation, there is employed the construction found in the upper part of Figure 11 and in Figures 11A and 11B, and whose construction has hereinbefore been given. By this means the total forces between the faces of the rotor and stator are maintained at a reasonably constant figure.
The lubrication of the device is cared for by be of any satisfactory type. E is an engine operable by the energy of expansion of a gas. 201 is a cylindrical casing; 202 is a port through which the compressor C forces a gas, such as air, a tube Cl connecting the discharge port of the compressor C with the injector port 202; 22l is a pipe through which a fuel, such as vaporized gasoline, is forced into the port to mingle with the compressed air therein and form a combustible mixture. 2 is a rotor which conforms closely to the interior of the cylindrical casing Compression rings 212 prevent the passage of gas beyond the ends of the rotor; 2I3 are spaced chambers in the rotor; 214 are high pressure packings or compression rings of suitable type which prevent the escape the injection of water containing a small amount of soap or other organic compounds which act in a, manner similar to cutting lubricants in I machine shop practice. Both the water and organic compounds are evaporated under the conditions of temperature and pressure but evaporation is so slow that the lubricants are carried sufliciently far to perform the function.
The openings of the rotor may all coincidentally make contact with the openings of the head, but it is advisable to arrange the spacing so that they make sequential rather than coincidental connection.
The faces of the rotor and the head can conveniently be made of stellite, a cobalt alloy, which maintains its hardness even. at red heat and which is resistant to oxidation. High speed steel can also be used.
A relatively crude method of utilizing certain principles of the invention was disclosed in my original copending case, in which Figures 12 and 13 correspond with Figures 8 and 9 hereof. .In those figures C is 'a' compressor, which may of gas from chamber to chamber. 203 is a port clockwise of the injector port 202; 231 is a spark plug in the said port 203; 204 is a port clockwise of port 203; 24! is a pipe communicating with said port. 205 is a port clockwise of 204; 25! is a pipe connecting port 205 with engine E; 206 isa port clockwise of port 205; 26I is a pipe connecting said port with engine not shown; 20'! is a port clockwise of port 206; communicating with the air.
I the operation of the device air is forced under pressure by compressor C through pipe CI and port 202 into a chamber 2I3. Simultaneously a fuel, such as vaporized gasoline, fuel oil, powdered coal, alcohol, is forced through pipe 22| into port 202 and chamber 213 in a quantity measured by devices not shown to constitute with the compressed air received through pipe Cl a substantially perfect combustible mixture. The rotor 2 is turned by shaft 215 continuously and, after being filled with a combustible mixture, the chamber 2|3 .passes out of contact with the injector port 202 and into contact with the firing port 203. From this port a spark plug 231 or other suitable igniting device fires the contents of the chamber 213. If a spark plug is used, a distributor 2|6 wilt be operatively connected to the shaft 2I5 to fire each chamber as it comes in conjunction with the port 203. After firing, the contents of the chamber are under very high pressure. At an intermediate point of this combustion, the pipe 241 injects through port 204 a preferably atomized quantity of water which has the function of reducing the excess temperature of the chamber and of furnishing a mixture of steam and combustion gases which has great energy of expansion. It will be understood that a, high pressure pump will be used to inject the water into the chamber. The space between port 203 and port 205 and the rate at which the rotor is turned are selected so that a. substantially complete combustion of gases and a substantially complete vaporization of the water in the chamber will have occurred and hence the maximum of operable energy collected in the chamber before the chamber contacts the discharge port 205. When the chamber comes in contact with port 205, the gases discharge through the said port to the engine E or they may discharge, as indicated by the broken pipe,
into a pressure reservoir from which the engine will draw its operating gases. The chamber 2|3 still contains a quantity of gas at lower pressure which is discharged through port 206' to a engine operable by gas at lower pressures; Thereafter, the chamber is in contact through port 201 with the air through which the burnt gases exhaust until the pressure in the chamber is reduced to atmospheric.
To control the injection of fuel into the port 202 and to synchronize that injection with the movement of the chambers, a cam 2H on shaft 2|! through roller 2", arm 2"! and lever 222 operates to close and open a valve in the pipe 22 I In Figure 10 isshown another type of burner involving a casing I00, two rotors NI, two spark plugs 102, two high test fuel injection tnbes 102, charging port 104, and oppositely placed discharge port 105. The fuel is injected into the chambers formed by the rotors 10! and the casing, the
spark plugs are actuated by the distributor (not shown) mounted on one of the shafts of the rotors, and the combustion products are moved into conjunction with and discharged through the port I05.
, It will be seen that the device involves the principle of preparing a combustible fuel, injecting the fuel into a chamber from which it can escape only after having been burned, igniting the fuel by means of a spark plug or by means of the injection of a flame into the chamber, or by increasing the pressure until spontaneous combustion occurs, injecting water into the chamber in a quantity suificient to control the temperature and to provide a useful quantity of steam in the compressed gas, and discharging the contents to an apparatus capable ofutilizing expansl ble gases.
This-a paratus and process include many new principles; The injection of water into a chamber containing a burning charge after substantial completion of the combustion to produce a mixture of combustion products an steam at high pressures; the-reduction of excess heat within the combustion chamber by the direct injection of a vaporizable liquid; the system of burning the charge for an internal combustion engine in a chamber apart from the engine; each of the ap-. Y
paratus and the principles thereof as described; the system of energy conversion diagrammatically illustrated in Figure 7.
In the typical internal combustion engine of the present advanced design having an operating speed of about 3000 R. P. M., only about onefifth of the complete cycle is available for the burning of the charge which, at 3000 R. P.v M., means that combustion must be completed in about it of a second, during which time the work must also be done. In my generator a burns ing time of A, of a second for slow burning fuels and $5 to $6 of a second for fast burning fuels,*. is recommended, but, any selected burning time can be obtained by rotating the burner at the, proper speed. The energy recovery of internal combustion engines is less than the energy of combustion of the hydrogen in the fuel alone,
which means that the energy of combustion of 1 the carbon, which is more than double the energy of combustion of the hydrogen, is totally wasted. My system converts more of the energy of combustion to the potential energy of expansion of a gas than any prior system known to me. Although the energy released in my unit is sufilcient to bring the temperature of the charge to,
the neighborhood of 3000 F., the materials available do notpermit the use of such temperatures; consequently, it is advisable to operate at temperatures in the neighborhood of 1000, th difference in temperature being recovered by generating useful steam to form a part of the charge, asIhaveshown. 9 .1

Product Description
David Lynch's 1990 Wild at Heart is an utterly random and ugly experience with pockets of startling imagery and inspired set pieces. Based on a Barry Gifford novel, the film stars Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern as lovers on the lam whose relationship is tested and who meet some truly dangerous wackos (including an almost-simian Willem Dafoe). Lynch's thoughts seem to be everywhere, and he expects the audience to keep up with a story that seems more a collection of avant-garde whims than a coherent vision with the intuitive brilliance of his Blue Velvet. Cage gives one of his more chaotic performances, but then he was just reading Lynch's signposts. --Tom Keogh --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Effect of Ionic Strength on Ion Selective Electrodes in the Activated Sludge Process
Abstract:Online ion selective electrodes (ISE) have found a place in wastewater treatment plants, primarily for the measurement of ammonia. Whether used only for data logging or as an input into control systems, it is important for operators to understand the properties of these sensors. The ionic strength of the sample solution can affect the measurements of an ISE probe. This paper demonstrates these effects and suggests a method for mitigating them.

Re: THEORY or VOO-DOO MAGIC (UTI Optimum)..

Here's my "theory":
We know FICO smiles when UTI <9%; and all cards report ZERO balance but one. But, "WHICH" card?
I "theorize" that the card to report a balance of 9% should be the card with the highest CL.
My experiment is as follows:
Discover has the largest CL for me at $14,300. I carry FIVE total cards with a maximum credit of $26,300.
To MAXIMIZE fico I am going to place 9% of the allotted credit of my Discover maximum (or, $1,287.00); hence, my TOTAL Utilization will be 5%.
I hypothesize that this formula will produce the MAXIMUM fico score. One card reporting a balalance of 9% (less than 10% of that cards limit); no other cards reporting a balance; and, TOTAL uti then at 5%.
Well, am I a FICO Eiinstein or have I become a voodoo numerologist????????
Haha. I used to think of similar things. However, there are many different FICO scores and there are some FICO versions that are helped by what you suggest and some are probably not helped at all.
What I learned so far is that the 04 version of FICO sold on MyFICO.com will definitely be helped by what you do. There was someone in another thread who experimented with having 1 dollar balance on all 8 of his/her cards and got a 47 point drop in FICO 04.
I carry small balances on more than 4 cards each month and that seems to have helped my 08 scores a lot while hurting my 04 scores.
The latest 08 Classic that I have is 762 while 04 Classic is 666.
04 version certainly does not like to see too many accounts with balances.
As far as which one card to carry balance is best, I don't know.. you could certainly try it out!

New Meditation Is Friend With BenefitJune 23rd, 2016
I own a lovely meditation cushion. I have some quieting meditation CDs. And I'm a huge advocate of learning to be "in the moment."
But with all that, I've got to admit. I'm not a good Om… person. So when I saw a blog post that said anything could be meditation – anything – I was off and running. (Admittedly, this is my usual state, which is part of the problem.)
