The invention refers to a drive and a method to control the drive of agricultural vehicles, especially of a tractor, with a combustion engine, an infinitely variable electrical and mechanical torque split gear including a generator driven by the combustion engine, an electric motor to be driven by the generator, a microprocessor to control the number of revolutions, the torque and/or the direction of revolution of the electric motor, and a planetary gear having three shafts, wherein a first input of the planetary gear is connectable with the driven shaft of the combustion engine and second input of the planetary gear is driven in synchronism with the shaft of the electric motor, and a shift gear acts between an output of the planetary gear and a wheel drive of the vehicle.
A drive of the described type is known from DE 197 49 074 C2. In this design a first input of a planetary gear is always is in driving connection with the driven shaft of the combustion engine. There is no clutch between the combustion engine and the planetary gear. To stop the vehicle while the combustion engine is running it is therefore necessary to drive the second input of the planetary gear in the reverse direction with a number of revolutions sufficiently high that the output shaft of the planetary gear comes to a standstill. The number of revolutions of the second input is decreased to zero and afterwards increased in a forward direction to accelerate the vehicle in a forward driving direction. It is a disadvantage, that the drive in the whole speed region of backward driving and in the region of forward driving till reaching the 0-number of revolutions at the second input of the planetary gear shows a dissipation of power so that the mechanical power of the combustion engine cannot completely be used. Furthermore, the maximum speed of the vehicle in backward driving direction is lower than the maximum speed in forward driving direction, because the electric motor driving the second input of the planetary gear has to use part of its speed range to generate the standstill condition of the vehicle. The known drive also does not allow a pure mechanical operation if the electric motor fails. Also, in this known drive a purely mechanical device is provided for locking-up the planetary gear.
The known drive may be equipped with a shift gear to broaden the speed range of the vehicle. It is not known from the art how the shift gear should be designed. Shift gears of the art have the disadvantage that the change from the current transmission step to the next transmission step takes a certain time period. During this time the transmission ratio of the infinitely variable torque split gear has to be adapted to the transmission ratio of the next transmission step. To do this, the number of revolutions of the electric motor has to be decreased from its maximum value at the beginning of the change operation to a lower value. This needs a comparatively long time. Consequently, both of the clutches transferring torque act during the gear change operation. The result is corresponding wear of the clutches and jolting motion of the vehicle.
It is the object of the invention to provide an improved drive of the type described above.
This is achieved in the present invention by providing the shift gear with at least two input shafts each connected to at least one transmission step, each of the at least two input shafts being in driving condition with a respective planetary gear via a respective clutch, the first input of each planetary gear can be driven by a clutch from the driven shaft of the combustion engine and the second input of each planetary gear can be driven by a respective electric motor, and at least one of the planetary gears can be locked-up.
The invention starts from the premise of having a drive which can be controlled alternatively in pure electric mode, in pure mechanical mode or in electric and mechanical (electromechanical) mode. The speed range can be broadened due to the use of a shift gear having a plurality of transmission ratios. Normal shift gears or power split gears may be used as the shift gear. The time period needed to change the transmission step of such shift gears from the engaged transmission step to the next transmission step is very short, because it is possible to prepare the next transmission step by accelerating the input shaft of the next transmission step to the desired number of revolutions before the engaged transmission step is disengaged. The time period to prepare for the change in transmission step depends on the time the electric motor of the next transmission step needs to achieve a running condition in synchronism with the current transmission step this is controlled by a controller of the electric motor. The adaptation of the motor speed can be performed in a short period, because it is necessary only to accelerate or decelerate the rotor shaft of the electric motor. Thus the transmission step change occurs in a short time and without a jolting motion of the vehicle.
The pure electric mode to drive the vehicle is used to start the driving of the vehicle from rest, to avoid the loss of reactive power in the torque split gear at low speeds in the electro-mechanical mode. This is useful also for emergency cases in which the combustion engine has failed as the vehicle can be moved then out of dangerous areas by battery power. The driving torque can be doubled using both electric motors in parallel to overcome high torques required during starting of the vehicle from rest. Electric machines (generator and motors) are never used with zero revolutions during power split mode. Consequently, the thermal stress of electrical machines is well balanced and not very high with respect to the windings and the corresponding semiconductor power switch. Thus, electric machines having the same dimensions can be switched on to higher power settings and can be operated with a higher torque.
To reverse the driving direction, it is not necessary to pass through all of the lower transmission steps when coming from a higher transmission step to a standstill of the vehicle. Indeed, the vehicle can be decelerated in the currently engaged transmission step in electro-mechanical mode until it is possible to change to a pure electric mode, without using the clutches of the shift gear, in a time set by the selected transmission steps. It is possible to change the vehicle from the maximum forward speed to maximum reverse speed by reducing the number of revolutions and reversing the direction of rotation of the electric motor in use.
The features of claims 3 and 4 allow a change of the transmission step or ratio without interrupting torque transfer or with a low interruption of torque transfer respectively, because the clutches can be operated in overlapping mode. The clutches can be operated in overlapping mode even if there is no synchronism to effect quick changes of transmission steps, e.g. for ABS control, antiskid control. Deviations from synchronism are balanced. Without the use of power shift clutches a change in torque split transfer from the electro-mechanical mode to the pure electric mode or vice versa without overlapping is only possible when having of a constant number of synchronous revolutions. Using power shift clutches a change with overlapping is possible even with a varying number of revolutions without interrupting power transfer.
The region of overlapping between the transmission steps I to IV according claim 5 makes it possible to change the transmission step without interrupting power transfer and without interrupting overlapping so that loss due to friction is avoided. The efficiency remains high during a change of the transmission step.
The self centring of the sun wheel is easily designed due to the coaxial arrangement of the electric motor and the planetary gear. Otherwise, an additional tooth gear is needed to locate the sun gear.
The primary electrical machine (generator) has to be adapted to transfer the entire power of the combustion engine so that the entire installed power can be used by other consumers. As far as secondary machines (motors) are concerned there are two possibilities according claims 7 and 8:
For maximum efficiency it is desirable to transmit only a small part of the total power of the vehicle electronically. Comparatively low cost small electric motors are therefore theoretically sufficient. However, if small motors are used, a larger number of transmission steps is needed to achieve the same overall transmission range. Designing the drive there are two possibilities: All of the electric machines in form of a generator and two electric motors are adapted at least to the nominal power of the combustion engine to minimize cost. This results in large electric motors in connection with a shift gear with a low number of transmission steps. However, if the drive has to have high efficiency, it is useful with the arrangement of one generator and two electric motors if the sum of the nominal power of the electric motors is equivalent to the nominal power of the combustion engine.
Pure electric operation is possible using two electric motors with the sum of the nominal power of the electric motors equivalent to the nominal power of the combustion engine. Consequently, the entire installed power can be used for driving.
According to the feature of claim 9 all of the electric machines are to be operated in the forward and reverse directions and to function as a motor or generator. In the overrun condition the electric machines operate with low efficiency so that the braking moment of the combustion engine is intensified by the low efficiency.
According to claim 10 the electric machines are permanent magnet synchronous machines having a high power density and a small mass moment of inertia which allows the direction of drive to be reversible easily.
According to claims 11 and 12 the arrangement of the electric motors in a separate housing and on a common platform is advantageous with respect to the separation of the motors to protection against electrical shocks and short circuits. The use of clutches provides the separation of the electric motors from the rest of the drive gear. The described arrangement also facilitates accessibility for maintenance purposes as the parts can be demounted as one unit.
The reverse step according claim 14 gives a useful improvement of efficiency during driving in a reverse direction.
Claim 15 is directed to a method for controlling the drive when changing between an electrical step driven by one of the electric motors and an electro-mechanical step driven by the engine and one of the motors. The vehicle may thus be accelerated without interrupting the acceleration. The overlapping region of engagement of the clutches can be used as a region of synchronism.
By way of example, one embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
The inventive drive for a tractor shown in
The torque split gear L contains a primary electric machine and two secondary electric machines which may be used as a generator or as a motor according to the operating condition of the vehicle. In normal use during forward driving of the vehicle the primary electric machine is used as a generator G and the two secondary electric machines are used as electric motors S1 and S2. In the overrun condition of the vehicle the generator is used as an electric motor and the electric motors as generators.
The generator G is driven by the driven shaft 1 of the combustion engine M via gear train Z1. The electric power of the generator is equivalent to the power output of the combustion engine. A microprocessor splits a part of the power of the combustion engine M in form of electric energy. This energy is used to drive the electric motors S1 and S2 of an infinitely variable power split gear or other consumers on the vehicle. The number of revolutions, the torque and the direction of drive of the motors are controlled by the microprocessor. The power output of the electric motors S1 and S2 is matched with the power output of the combustion engine M.
Furthermore, the torque split gear L includes two planetary gears P1 and P2 containing three shafts forming two inputs and one output. Both of the planetary gears P1 and P2 serve to add up the mechanical power transmitted by the clutch KV from the combustion engine M and the drive shaft 1 and the electric power transmitted by the electric motors S1 and S2. Consequently, in this embodiment, the electric motors S1 and S2, (the electric power inputs) are directly coupled to the sun wheels P11 and P21 respectively, while the inputs of the mechanical parts of the power are received by the ring gears P12 and P22 respectively. Both ring gears have outer teeth meshing with the toothed gear KV1 which forms part of the clutch KV. The planet carriers P13 and P23 respectively serve as outputs. The ring gears P12 and P22 may be connected with the planet carriers P13 and P23 respectively by clutches KD1 and KD2 to brake (lock-up) the planetary gears P1 and P2.
The torque split gear L is followed by a shift gear F having two input shafts 2 and 3 and one output shaft 4 connected to the differential gear D of a vehicle (not shown). Both input shafts are arranged in parallel and coaxial to an output shaft of each of the planetary gears P1 and P2. The transmission of power through shift gear F can be closed or opened by clutches K1 and K2. The input shafts 2 and 3 and the output shaft 4 carry toothed gears Z21, Z22, Z23, Z31, Z41, Z42, Z43, Z44 and synchronising couplings SK1, SK2, SK3 and SK4, each of them being connected to their associated shaft so as to rotate with that shaft. Consequently, a plurality of overlapping transmission steps I to IV generating a range of driving speeds is provided. The input shaft 3 is allocated to the transmission steps I and III. The input shaft 2 is allocated to the transmission steps II and IV.
The diagram of the different transmission steps E-I to E-IV and EM-I to EM-IV of the drive according
The drive of the invention can be operated in the following modes alternatively:
As mentioned above, this mode of operation is useful to start the driving of a vehicle from rest and during very low speeds in the transmission step I. Starting the drive of a vehicle in the transmission step E-I and changing into the transmission step E-II is done as follows:
Clutch KV is released to interrupt the mechanical branch of the power split gear L. Clutch KD2 is closed to direct the torque of the electric motor S2 directly to the shift gear F. KD1 is opened in order to keep the mass of electric motor S2 and driven elements low. Consequently, electric motor S2 acts on the shift gear F through the closed clutch K2. The synchronising couplings SK1, SK2 SK3 are open and the synchronising coupling SK4 is closed to provide a power transmitting path via the toothed gears Z31, Z42, Z43, Z22, Z23 and Z44 to the differential gear D. The electric motor S2 is fed electricity and the vehicle starts to move. The maximum number of revolutions of the electric motor S2 results in a maximum speed of about 8 km/h forward or backward depending on the direction of revolution. Transmission step II of the shift gear F is prepared for engagement by closing of the synchronising coupling SK2 during reaching of this maximum speed. The synchronising coupling SK4 is opened. The electric motor S1 is fed electricity and accelerated up to the number of revolutions of the input shaft 2. Then, the clutch K2 is opened during closing of clutch K1 at the same time. A change into the other transmission steps E-III and E-IV is analogously performed using the active components indicated in
Thus when transmission step E-III is active motor S2 drives differential D via clutches KD2, K2, gears Z31,Z42 and coupler SK3. Similarly when transmission step E-IV is active motor S1 drives differential D via clutches KD1, K1, gears Z22, Z43 and coupler SK3.
Operating Mode 2:
The vehicle has to be started in accordance with the purely electrical operating mode 1 described above before beginning the operating mode 2 which is an electro-mechanical torque split operation.
As soon as the vehicle has reached the speed of the intersecting point 'a' of the characteristic lines 'E-I' and 'EM-I' in
Now, a change to the transmission step EM-II is possible. This occurs in accordance with the operation steps of the elements listed in
Typically the gearing of adjacent transmission steps is arranged so that, for example when motor S2 is reaching its maximum rated speed (e.g. 5000 r.p.m.), an a change to a transmission step powered by motor S1 is required, motor S1 is rotating at 10% of the rated maximum speed (e.g. 500 r.p.m.). Thus with motor S2 rotating at 5000 r.p.m. and motor S1 rotating at 500 r.p.m. the speed of shaft 2 upstream of clutch K1 approaches the speed of shaft 2 downstream of clutch K1 and the motors are said to be operating in synchronism. During this synchronisation of motors S2 and S1, motor S2 continues to be powered so there is no loss of motive force for the vehicle.
When the speeds of the motors are synchronised, as described above, during a certain time interval the clutch K1 is closed. The synchronising coupling SK4 of the toothed gear Z44 is opened as soon as the number of revolutions of the electric motor S1 overrides a lower limit (about 20% of its nominal maximum speed). Thus, the transmission step EM-II is fully active in which the powertrain of step EII from motor S1 to differential D (see
Where possible it is desirable to operate in the electro-mechanical transmission steps EMI to EMIV since these steps are more efficient then the purely electrical steps EI to EIV since steps EMI to EMIV transmits part of their torque mechanically from engine M which is inherently more efficient. Thus typically the vehicle is started in step EI as described above, and then operated in steps EMI to EMIV after the synchronism point 'a' of curves EI and EMI has been attained. Upward changes between the other transmission steps are achieved using the active elements set out in
When changing down (for example from EMII to EMI) if the speed of motor S1 has dropped to say 20% if its nominal maximum speed (e.g. has drop to 1000 r.p.m.) then preparation is made to change down thus coupler SK4 is engaged and motor S2 is synchronised by increasing its speed up to its maximum rate speed (e.g. 5000 r.p.m.) as K2 is engaged and K1 disengaged. If during such a down change the speed of motor S1 increases say to a predetermined value (e.g. 40% of its maximum rated speed—e.g. 2000 r.p.m.) the down change us cancelled. This down change philosophy is used between all the 'EM' steps.
During the change of a transmission step, whether to a higher or lower transmission ratio, power shift transmissions can show an unpleasant stick-slip motion. This is the reason for a new method of controlling the clutches of the drive in accordance with the present invention. The new method which is used to control the clutches KV, KD1 and KD2 avoids not only unpleasant stick-slip motion but makes possible changes of transmission ratio not only without interrupting the tractive power but also without interrupting the acceleration of the vehicle. The inventive infinitely variable drive of the present invention with its stepped shift gear thus functions like known infinitely variable drives without stepped shift gears and has the same speed range.
The new method is based on the idea that a change of gear of a power shift transmission needs a definite time duration to accomplish the change. This time duration is composed of the time needed to build up pressure in the clutch of the transmission step which is to be engaged and the time needed to decrease the pressure in the clutch of the transmission which is already engaged. The required time duration to make the change can be determined by experiment or during use as a fixed parameter depending on the load imposed. This is done by sensing and evaluating several parameters set by the driver of the vehicle or the vehicle itself, e.g. the desired acceleration, the number of revolutions of the combustion engine, the position of the foot pedal, the driving speed etc. A microprocessor evaluates a change (nd) in the number of revolutions of the engine which depends on the needed time duration for the change and the desired change in ratio. This change in engine speed is divided in two to give the number of revolutions at the point of synchronism 'SP', as can be seen from
This method of operation is necessary only when a change has to be achieved at a point of synchronism, e.g. in a drive change from purely electrical operation to electro-mechanical operation or vice versa, where there is no overlapping.
In shifts between adjacent electro-mechanical ('EM') steps this method of operation is not necessary because the speed of electric motors S1 and S2 is adapted to the desired acceleration of the vehicle for a change of the transmission step with overlapping. It is possible to keep both clutches closed for a period of time during a change, as described above, so that no variation of the acceleration occurs and a stick-slip motion is avoided.
When it is desired to drive the vehicle in reverse [and the vehicle is operative in an electro-mechanical ('EM') step] a change is made to the nearest purely electrical ('E') step and the speed of the operative motor reduced to bring the vehicle speed to zero followed by increasing the operative motor in the reverse direction until the desired reverse speed of the vehicle is achieved.
Thus, referring to
Operating Mode 3:
The pure mechanical operation mode is provided for emergency condition in which the electrical part of the torque split gear L fails and the vehicle cannot be moved in accordance with the operation modes 1 or 2. In this emergency condition the vehicle can be moved by the use of the clutches K1 or K2 in two speed regions.
The vehicle drive described above can be simplified, if desired, by eliminating one of the lock-up clutches KD1 or KD2. Thus, for example, if clutch KD1 were to be eliminated only the purely electrical steps E1 and E3 would be available but all the electro-mechanical steps EMI to EMIV would still be available. This simpler and therefore cheaper configuration would still allow the vehicle to start from rest in step E1 and then operate after the synchronisation point 'a' of
The vehicle drive can also be modified, as shown in

House of the Rising Bun
Napoleon's French Bakery
1806 St. Clair Ave., St. Paul; 690-0178
Jeff Morrison's got colonies of wild creatures living in his refrigerator. When he goes out of town, he hires a critter-sitter to check in on them. These beasts in his crisper drawer don't need much supervision, just a little flour every few days, but if anything were to happen to them, and if--heaven forfend!--anything happened simultaneously to their brethren at Napoleon's French Bakery, well, Napoleon's bread would never be the same.
Napoleon's commissioned Morrison, a baker at the Uptown Wuollet Bakery, to revamp its bread line after the company wandered into a period of bland and uninspiring products, and he says his first order of business as a consultant was to develop a series of distinctive starters for the bread.
A brief digression is probably called for here: Starter, or "sour," is a form of yeast employed to make air pockets in dough, transforming what would be crackers into what would be bread. Whereas leavening agents such as baking powder (muffins, quick breads) make the gas through chemical action, yeast is a living organism, and it makes carbon dioxide when it eats, in sort of the same way that we make carbon dioxide when we breathe. While commercial yeast is made from organisms bred for their hardiness rather than any flavor characteristics, starter is created by luring wild yeasts out of the air. Because these one-celled creatures tend to vary from region to region, and because the only ingredients in traditional bread are flour, water, salt, and yeast, the flavor contributed by the yeast can be crucial.
For the first of Napoleon's starters, Morrison went to a co-op and invested in some locally grown organic apples and honey. After pureeing them, he strained out the solids and left the liquid mixture on top of his refrigerator with the windows open. Unfortunately, instead of souring and supporting a healthy yeast colony, the mixture simply spoiled. Morrison says it took him about four weeks and several batches, but eventually he developed a healthy colony of wild yeast, which he then used to develop Napoleon's pain au levain.
The result is perhaps Napoleon's greatest triumph on its road back from mediocrity. The pain au levain is a round bread with a formidably chewy golden-brown crust the color of oven-roasted potatoes, and when you rip into it you can just smell the apples and honey from which its wild yeast sprang. Robust and tangy, it's an athletic little bread, confident and hearty, and well worth Morrison's struggles.
Another round bread, Napoleon's white boule, is also a treasure, smelling slightly of almonds and boasting a milky interior and a resolute, chewy, apricot-gold crust. It's a great eating white: frothy, almost bubbly. Napoleon's has managed to marry real-bread maltiness to white bread's blank-slate openness without losing sight of why we all like white bread to begin with--for its delicacy and agreeableness. The seven-grain boule, a café au lait-color loaf with a rough crust and a dense, moist crumb, is the sort of bread-as-meal that does justice to the saying "a loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou." (Frankly, a couple of slices of this meaty bread and I could get through the night just fine with neither wine nor thou.)
Napoleon's has also just debuted a standard American sandwich loaf in honey-white and honey-wheat. These are good, unpolished, chewy loaves remarkable for their mahogany-colored crusts and dense, satisfying crumb. (The above-mentioned artisanal breads cost $2.20 for a 20-ounce loaf and $1.65 for a 10-ounce loaf; a one-pound sandwich loaf goes for $1.75.)
JoAnna Zachman, a baker fresh from a stint making cakes in New York City for gourmet powerhouses like Dean & DeLuca, was hired to manage Napoleon's in the last weeks of 1996, and it is her stewardship that has been responsible for stopping the quality free-fall that resulted in the closing of three Napoleon's in the mid-'90s (there's still another Napoleon's in Bloomington), introducing the artisanal breads as well as a selection of ready-made sandwiches and spreads, and hiring a dependable staff to maintain consistent quality at the ovens and behind the counter.
Still, several aspects of Napoleon's production linger unrehabilitated. Some of the pastries are very good--the croissants in particular are rolled out by hand every morning and allowed to rise all day, and they end up airy and toothsome, well worth their $1.10 price tag. But other offerings still bear telltale signs of commercial shortcuts--the apple-filled Danish ($1.35), for example, has a canned-tasting filling. (I think I speak for all Americans when I say that if I'm going to get involved with all the calories of a Danish, it better floor me.) And baguettes ($1.54 a pop, with a wider "double baguette" running $2.09) are pale, uniformly fluffy, thin-crusted disappointments, no better than what you find at most grocery stores.
Also, I wish Napoleon's wasn't so quick to put its products in plastic bags: Every hour spent in a plastic bag reduces the crispness of a bread's crust and works to more evenly distribute moisture throughout the loaf. It seems counterproductive to spend so much time perfecting a bread and then to ensure that it loses one of its best qualities.
Ruben Mark Lopez, Napoleon's new head baker, showed me around the bakery early one morning so I could see all the effort that goes into making an artisanal loaf of bread. The "proofing boxes," for instance: closet-size containers in which bread is allowed to rise in warm, humid conditions. It's during this proofing process that bread develops its airiness and complex character. Whereas many commercial bakeries proof bread briefly or not at all, some of Napoleon's breads proof for seven hours. "Bakeries are traditionally relaxed places," Lopez observes. "Baking is very much an art, and just like an artist wouldn't rush a sculpture, a baker who knows what he's doing doesn't rush the bread, or the people he works with."
As impressed as I was with the commercial ovens (massive enough to be featured in a prominent scene in a horror movie), what I really took away from the tour was a greater understanding of the many obstacles that impede the baking of good bread in America today. Sure, Jeff Morrison had told me how hard it is to find workers. ("In Europe there's a baker on literally every corner baking for their community, and in European culture baking is considered a reasonably glamorous job," he says. "But here most people think the only good job is one in an office making great deals of money.") It was another thing entirely to see that so many of the bakery's employees were students from nearby colleges, as well as other workers drawn by the strange hours (many bakers work from about midnight until the morning rush hour) or because the job allowed them to forgo day care for their young children, or because as immigrants the language barrier ruled out other jobs.
I would have imagined that commodification would have been the central obstacle that precludes getting good bread in the U.S. (After World War I, bread was transformed from a locally produced, idiosyncratic product to a uniform, centrally distributed commodity as interchangeable nationally as a bag of sugar or rice.) I would have thought that a neighborhood bakery's biggest hurdle would be a consumer's expectation that bread be something cheap and readily available in the grocery store. What I saw at Napoleon's was that a practical matter--finding actual bakers who could excel at the craft--was closer to the heart of the issue.
Which makes efforts such as the one Zachman is spearheading at Napoleon's all the more impressive. When I asked her why she has devoted the past year and a half to the world of bread and cupcakes, she told me, "For the purity of it. I like the mom-and-popness of it: If we're making tarts, we're making the tart shells ourselves--actually pressing the tart dough into the shells and baking them off, whereas a lot of bakeries just buy their shells commercially."
Zachman points out that after this spring's storms knocked out Napoleon's power for a week, some customers dropped by every single day for updates on when the bakery would get back on its feet. "We have people that come here year after year after year, we've seen their kids year after year, we get to know them year after year, and they get to know us," she says. "The baking itself is a nightly challenge--night after night you might have a beautiful bake or a crazy bake, but I like going through it because this is intimate, this is hands-on.

United States
#10 Aug 7, 2013
This was not a fight. All it was was two crack hoes pulling hair and rolling around. Too much blood.
With all the bystanders why didn't someone call the PD. BOTH would have been arrested and I know they are familiar with the jail so it wouldn't have phased them!!
It's a shame that the entertainment is two hoes trying to fight.
#11 Aug 7, 2013
My favorite is "the hills".....you all say it like it is a big luxurious place to live.
#12 Aug 7, 2013
r u really that friggin stupid?
the pigs don't give a shite what goes on in wayne hills.
if they did there wouldn't be hordes of doofus rejects standing around in plain site dealing dope 24/7. especially around the top of the stairs. right in front of the cameras!
they should just nuke the place. they would get rid of 90% of p-towns toilet trout in one move that way.
#13 Aug 7, 2013
I have the fight on my wall add me an u can watch it
#14 Aug 7, 2013
Have you ever wondered how they choose who gets put on the front line during a draft?
In Vietnam, class and skin color were determinants.
Some people seem to have been born to take bullets...
"the U.S. armed forces -- particularly the enlisted men following orders, doing the fighting and suffering the casualties -- were overwhelmingly and disproportionately from the working class."
In other words, why bomb a target that's willing to carry your bomb anywhere you tell them?
Do you think it's time to thin the herd again?
#15 Aug 7, 2013
They need to put all the welfare apartments together and under a dome! Never let the nasty skanks out for anything! Or ship them to Detroit!
#16 Aug 8, 2013
Except you'll need to ship the white trash BACK TO KENTUCKY, cause they won't make it too good up in the motor city.
well, except for all them tuna boat white KY ho's living that "gangsta-life". They can turn tricks for heroin in detroit just as good as around here I'm guessing. LMAO
#18 Aug 21, 2013
All the people that live in the hills aren't bad I know because that's where some of my family live and I guarantee their as straight and as hard working as any of you guys the problem is all the people that dont live their is the ones doing the drama and the dealing dont get me wrong their are some price of shit people here but out of every ten drama situations and drug deals at least 7or8 of them are from some where else
#19 Aug 21, 2013
You people think it is Beverly Hills up in there....now that's what we would call the hills. Wayne Hills = the dumps :-)
#20 Aug 21, 2013
You are right. Not all are bad. In fact, there are some really good people who live there. I think it's sad that the PMHA lets all the rift raft stay and make it so horrible there. Some only use it as a temporary solution, and work hard and get out. Same as welfare. It's only meant to be temporary, not a "career"!

Simple / Damn
- Artists Nigel Richards, Petar Cvetkovic, Swyft, Zig Wolf
- Release Date 2013-06-17
- Labels Tulipa Recordings
- Catalog TULIPA055
The musical magician Zig Wolf sets his defenses aside and jets forth into the wild blue void. Trained in auditory ballistics, Zig is prone to catch glimpses of atomic suns setting on a post-apocalyptic horizon. The future is here and the trees are twisting about with broken fortitude. Simple / Damn becomes the soundtrack to the hopeless minds trekking the crimson deserts of this isolated paradise.
The heads come home as Simple sears a hole brightly into the atmosphere like burning magnesium. This effulgent techno masterpiece grins from within and manipulates a freeform structure that twists like a Double Helix. Nigel Richards grasps the light trails of Simple and bends it into his own transitional piece full of puzzled syncopation and nostalgic whims. His mix punches and swells with numeric pride. Zig Wolf summons the demons of the night and launches Damn into the electric fog like a blazing arrow piercing a charcoal cave. This second original reaches outward with its pixelated tentacles and squeezes the listener with unpredicted strength. Petar Cvetkovic's interpretation of Damn adds a subtle sublimeness that glows eerily in the smoky evening. Deeper and more reptilian, Petar's remix swoons for the well-wishers lurking in the forest. Maestro Swyft closes the Simple / Damn release with his elixir-like version that is potent enough to heal a fuzzy crowd. The synths and drive take the forefront and this mix reflects his ever-growing talent as an enriched producer.
Tears run through towns and shore fires illuminate lakes. Below cascading falls, Zig Wolf stands proudly with Simple / Damn. The gardens of Tulipa Recordings have catered to this lauded individual and his musical adventures will forever fuel the orbs surrounding the gates. The birds cry in unison and Tulipa extends a warm hard forward.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The Florida Legislature is considering
a bill that would require women seeking an abortion to first undergo an ultrasound.
The House Health Care Regulation Committee approved the legislation Wednesday.
Sheila Hopkins of the Florida Catholic Conference says the bill could be viewed as pro-choice because it would enable women to make
a more informed choice about whether to have an abortion.
But state Representative Kelly Skidmore says it should be up to a woman to decide whether she wants to see an ultrasound image that
may later haunt her if she goes through with the procedure.

Reality show about North Carolina's Fantasia starts on VH1
Published: Monday, January 11, 2010 at 1:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 11, 2010 at 1:14 p.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Fantasia Barrino talks about how she got sidetracked financially in the first episode of a VH1 reality series about the "American Idol" winner from North Carolina.
The show, "Fantasia for Real," debuts at 10 p.m. Monday. The Charlotte Observer reported Monday that the 25-year-old singer acknowledges that her extended family of six can be a financial burden.
The 2004 "American Idol" winner had financial problems after moving from High Point to Charlotte — despite a successful autobiography, a made-for-TV movie, a Broadway role in "The Color Purple" and a platinum album.
The newspaper says liens were filed against her first home in Charlotte over unpaid homeowner association fees and creditors sued for her $240,000 Mercedes. Her second home was saved from auction after fees were paid on back taxes in 2009.

what? not even tell me why.
http://jennywhx.blogspot.com jwhx:Visionary
You don't go up close to the person b/c you are brave but b/c the text is tiny. Logic is flawed. Perhaps needs a big headline along the lines of 'This person is HIV positive'. Then at least you are (kinda) displaying courage by getting up close and personal. Even then, not great for me.
It's a con. Make people go close for the wrong reason. The strategy behind this is flawed. I think one should make people want to go close and not be afraid, not trick them into doing it.
is he wearing color contact lenses? so you can notice them when you read the message close enough but not the meaningless text itself.
i don't think you get the impact of shocking when you have to hug AIDS patients anymore. people are not that afraid. some of the infecteds are the one you intimately made love to last night without knowing. so "Welldone" to them too?

Haiti Relief
Crowley Establishing Flow of Relief Cargo
Crowley Maritime Corporation, working under contract with the U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM), is unloading Haiti relief cargo in Rio Haina, Dominican Republicy. Fifty six of the 68 20-ft containers of water and meals-ready-to-eat (MREs) will be trucked across the border into Haiti. The remaining 12 loads aboard the container ship Macajama will be transported by water to Port-au-Prince, Haiti and be offloaded in an experimental lightering operation and delivered across a beach on Jan. 22. If successful, future shipments could be made directly to Port-au-Prince. The Crowley plan calls for the Macajama to anchor offshore near the port's damaged south pier and near the exposed beach. Using a shipboard crane on the Macajama, the 12 remaining containers would be lowered onto a smaller vessel operated by G and G Shipping and delivered across the beach on wheels. A team from Crowley's TITAN Salvage subsidiary surveyed the port area Jan. 18 and determined that such an operation was possible. They also determined that it would be possible to establish a temporary docking structure on the beach using a Crowley 400-ft-long by 100-ft-wide flat deck barge. Crowley is mobilizing such a barge (the 410) and a crane from Orange, Texas that could be used for cargo discharge, and plans to have both on the scene in Port-au-Prince on, or about, Feb. 2.

China's War for Ore
Business is being reshaped around the world.
China was miffed by the outcome of what we last year called the corporate "deal of the century." But shareholder interests prevailed. How often will that be said in the future?
Politics, that ugly dynamic when mixed with business, was already back in play last week as Rio Tinto, an Australian mining giant at the heart of the controversy, saw four of its Chinese executives arrested in Shanghai on spying charges.
China says the busts are not retribution for the cancelled deal between Rio and a state-owned company, which received angry press in China. Instead, the arrests supposedly arise from skullduggery by Rio officials during fraught annual ore-price negotiations with mainland steelmakers. But the distinction may be irrelevant. Ore has become a major neuralgic concern for China. It sees its dependence on imported supply as strategically risky. It fears that its massive attempts to "stimulate" domestic job growth are being drained off as fatter profits for Australian mining companies.
When the intrigue is unraveled, moreover, don't be surprised if the arrests are partly aimed at corralling the mainland's own restive steelmakers, many of whom have not cooperated in Beijing's ore strategy but have been striking their own spot market deals at higher prices.
But let's step back. Rio has been wrongfooted over and over lately amid the zigzagging of the world's monetary conditions, whose chaos is now disastrously reshaping business-government relations globally (think the Obama administration's ownership of most of the Detroit auto industry).
When China was booming, Rio played coy in the face of a merger bid from fellow miner BHP Billiton 18 months ago, acknowledging the "industrial logic" of the deal but insisting the offering price was "several ballparks" short of fair value.
Oops. With the collapse of Lehman and the global meltdown, ore prices plummeted and BHP withdrew its bid. Suddenly, Rio needed its own debt bailout and turned to a company on the cash-rich mainland, state-owned Chinalco. Beijing was doubly pleased by the $19.5 billion Chinalco deal. Not only was China getting ownership of Australian ore assets at a bargain price, but the deal also killed off any chance of a BHP merger, seen on the mainland as an Aussie plot to gouge China.
Oops. The Chinalco proposal ran into a buzzsaw of nationalist opposition in Australia. And while a government review board dragged its feet, the delay allowed Ben Bernanke to rev up the monetary engine and China to launch its own massive stimulus. Ore prices recovered. A BHP joint venture was back on the table. In a jilting worthy of a Judy Blume novel, Rio last month dumped its Chinese savior and leapt into bed with its erstwhile Australian suitor.
Now the Chinese naturally see dirty politics at work, but the deal was actually scuttled by Rio's shareholders, who rightly saw more upside in BHP's offer. Yet it's also true the Chinalco bid would likely eventually have been torpedoed by the Australian government. Polls were running strongly against selling the country's mineral patrimony to a company ultimately controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. Australia Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who prides himself on being an old China hand, must have been overjoyed when this icky chalice was taken from his lips by Rio's shareholders
Yet the politics have only turned ickier since the Rio arrests. And Beijing has other cards up its sleeve. It can take its opposition to the BHP-Rio deal to Europe's trustbusters, who voiced qualms about their earlier proposed tie-up. China also can make use of its own new anti-monopoly law, which has already been used to punish the U.S. for blocking an oil deal. Earlier this year, Chinese regulators nixed Coca-Cola's purchase of a local juicemaker on "competition" grounds that antitrust lawyers considered ludicrous.
More disturbing, China has upped its ore purchases in recent weeks even as mainland growth seems to be slowing, suggesting an effort to lay in a stockpile for a longer showdown against Rio-BHP.
If the Rio arrests mark the beginning of a Chinese war to remake the global ore market more to China's liking, Beijing might want to think again. Its clumsy attempt to make computer makers instruments of Internet censorship was not exactly confidence-inspiring. Ensuring nobody wants to do a business deal with China for fear of being charged with a death penalty crime hardly improves the case. Then there's the epic civil disorder in Xinjiang.
The final casualty may be China's overblown reputation for macroeconomic competence, on which so many hopes for global recovery depend. There are already signs its stimulus efforts are running off the rails. The world might appreciate a signal right now that China's government actually knows what it's doing.

Pomegranate Noir lasts a really long time on me, I am still able to smell it after taking shower.
Are there any good frags by this house with good longevity and projection??

Pomegranate Noir lasts a really long time on me, I am still able to smell it after taking shower.
***My favourite from my collection***

Jo Malone fragrances tend not to have too much longevity. The best is probably Pomegranate Noir, and Blue Agava and Cacao.
They are not known for their longevity, but they do have some that are better than others as noted above.
Velvet Rose and Oud has both longevity and projection and actually is an amazing smelling one, for me.
Another vote for Pomegranate Noir and Amber and Lavender. Also Rose Water and Vanilla.
Oud & Bergamot
Pomegranate Noir projects big time. I used to work with a woman that wore it and she'd fume out the whole office!
I got decent longevity out of wild fig and cassis, but most of the rest I have tried have had abysmal longevity. Doubt I will ever own anything from this house because all the ones I like simply don't last.
Wild Fig and Cassis is what I wore for years, and it lasted all day on me, but did not project much (which I prefer). I suppose it might have if I'd gone crazy on the sprays. Pomegranate Noir projects and lasts, all right, but I think it smells like Satan's bathroom freshener, so I did not appreciate that feature.
Pomegranate Noir
Amber & Lavender
ointments and perfume delight the heart....

I was not impressed with any fragrances in this line back in 2009, recently I tried their new velvet oud and other new additions and I was not impressed this time either.

IKEA: Mänland, Nursery for Men
You've probably seen the 'boyfriend chair' in clothing stores for bored shopping companions. Now IKEA has taken the concept one step further by creating a "crèche" for retail-weary men, complete with Xbox consoles, pinball machines, continuous televised sport and free hot dogs. MÄNLAND is being trialled for four days this Father's Day weekend [Sept 2 in Aus.] as a male-only play space to hang out in while wives and girlfriends peruse the aisles. Publicity manager Jude Leon said the idea was modelled on the Swedish furniture giant's existing child play area, SMALAND. Ms Leon said women were given a buzzer to remind them to collect their other half after 30 minutes of shopping.
Advertising Agency: The Monkeys, Australia

lol, the best part is the buzzer that all the women got so that could be reminded to pick up their men.... nice!
I approve... only because I relate to the horror of being stuck in the NYC IKEA with an overzealous, detail-oriented girlfriend. Any idea to alleviate that agony is something I can agree with.
This is the next step after the child-park...ridiculous

GEN's editor in chief, John Sterling, interviews life science academic and biotech industry leaders on important research, technology, and trends. These podcasts will keep you informed with all the important details you need.
Understanding what protein complexes look like and how they operate is the key to figuring out what makes cells tick. By harnessing the unique properties of polarized light, scientists from The Rockefeller University have developed a technique that can help deduce the orientation of specific proteins within the cell.
By turning their instruments toward the nuclear pore complex, a huge cluster of proteins that serves as a gateway to a cell's nucleus, the scientists say they have filled in the gaps left by other techniques and made important new discoveries about how the complex works.
During this week's podcast Dr. Sandy Simon provides more details regarding the polarized light technique and talks about the significance of his team's research. He discusses the advantages of this method versus other more traditional techniques for studying cellular proteins and describes how the polarized light approach can be used with x-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, and computer analysis to gain a better understanding of cellular protein behavior.
Dr. Simon also explores the potential uses including medical applications of the polarized light technique and how it might lead to findings that can prove promising in the clinic.
Dr. Sandy Simon uses imaging techniques to observe and clarify dynamics and interactions in living systems. Dr. Simon graduated with a bachelor's degree in neurobiology from Princeton University in 1977. He received his Ph.D. in physiology and biophysics in 1984 from New York University Medical Center. He came to The Rockefeller University as a postdoc and was promoted to research associate in 1986. He was named assistant professor in 1989, head of the Laboratory of Cellular Biophysics in 1992, associate professor in 1994, and professor in 2000. Dr. Simon was a recipient of the John and Samuel Bard Award in Medicine and Science in 2004.
