This invention relates to an improved scrap reclamation system and in particular to a method and apparatus for quickly and efficiently melting metal scrap in a recirculating melting system.
Increased effort is being placed on finding cheaper methods to recycle metal scrap, particularly in the light metals field. This effort is being expended because of the national and international concern over depletion of raw material sources for these metals.
Recycling systems for metal scrap are normally required to be at least competitive with established manufacturing systems for producing such metal. To be competitive, such recycling systems must be efficient which can often require that they be designed to reclaim certain or specific kinds of metal scrap. With respect to the kinds of metal scrap encountered in the light metals field, particularly aluminum, it should be observed that it can range from scrap generated very early in the manufacturing process to that resulting from used products, e.g. metal containers. Scrap generated early in the manufacturing of aluminum, for example, is scalping chips. These chips result from preparing the surface of an aluminum ingot for rolling or cladding or some such purpose when often large irregularities are removed. Chips removed at this time can constitute as much as 6% of the total metal in the ingot and therefore obviously can amount to a considerable amount of metal which can be recycled. Scrap typical of used metal containers which can be beneficial to recycle is metal beverage cans and the like. Recycling such cans serves to conserve resources and also to provide a cleaner environment.
These two types of scrap are often considered to present different problems from the standpoint of reclamation. For example, container or can scrap normally comprises bits and pieces of metal which can range in size from relatively small particles to crushed cans. Often the cans have holes pierced in them for purposes of delacquering using solvents. The pierced holes, while aiding the flow of solvent through the mass of cans, result in jagged edges which, together with the generally non-uniform shapes and sizes of crushed cans, make this scrap relatively non-flowable. Furthermore, such scrap tends to be rather buoyant with respect to the melting media, requiring special equipment to forcibly submerge it. A particular type to equipment for handling this type of scrap is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,873,305 where a rotating wedge forcibly submerges this type of scrap into the melting media. In the system described in this patent, additional equipment is required to recirculate the molten melting media.
With respect to the scalping chips, or scrap which may be characterized as flowable, for example, such as filings and cuttings or even large pieces, these often do not present great difficulty in submerging as does the above-mentioned container scrap. Nevertheless, it is imperative that such flowable scrap be melted and reclaimed in the most efficient manner in order to provide an incentive to operate a remelting system as a source of metal, as compared to the established manufacturing system for producing such metal.
With highly oxidizable metals, such as aluminum, out of which the aforementioned containers and beverage cans are often made, it is important to provide a remelting system which provides maximum heat transfer for efficient melting. Also, it is important that the metal scrap be submerged with minimum turbulence at the melting media surface in order to minimize oxidation of the molten metal. Oxidation leads to skim formation, a problem inherent in most systems reclaiming highly oxidizable metals such as aluminum.
The skim referred to includes the metal oxide, e.g. Al2 O3, and molten metal which becomes entrained in such oxide. Skim is undesirable and therefore should be minimized not only because of the molten metal lost to it, but also because it can cause problems by acting as an insulator in the heating bay. That is, when combustion units discharging their heat on the surface of the molten media in the heating bay are used, skim floating on the surface thereof makes it difficult to heat the molten media. Also, such floating skim by rejecting heat can seriously shorten the useful life of the equipment by causing it to overheat.
The present invention provides a highly efficient method for reclaiming metal scrap in a recirculating melting system. The method is suitable for reclaiming either flowable or non-flowable scrap of the type referred to above.
An object of the present invention is to provide a highly efficient recirculating melting system for reclaiming metal scrap.
These and other objects will become apparent from a reading of the disclosure and claims and an inspection of the drawings appended hereto.
Accordingly, there is disclosed an improved system for melting metal scrap in a molten melting media. The system includes a housing generally cylindrical in cross section and having upper and lower portions. Metal scrap is introduced to a body of molten melting media contained in the upper portion of the housing. A supply of molten melting media is added to the upper portion of the housing through a volute located in the lower portion. The molten melting media is supplied or added by action of an impeller located in the lower portion and mounted on a drive shaft extending through the upper portion. Vanes are mounted on the drive shaft to control the flow motion of the body of molten melting media and metal scrap in the upper portion of the housing by creating a vortex in this body for purposes of ingesting the metal scrap in the melting media. An opening is provided in the upper portion to remove melted scrap and melting media at a rate substantially commensurate with their rate of introduction. Thus, in operation of the system, scrap is contacted by the melting media in the upper portion for melting purposes. Thereafter, the combination is removed through an opening in the upper portion to a fluxing bay, for example.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a general schematic of a circulatory system in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an elevational view in cross section illustrating a bay in the melting system wherein scrap charging, melting and pumping of the melting media is accomplished more or less simultaneously.
FIG. 3 is a dimensional view of impeller and drive shaft shown in FIG. 2 illustrating vanes projecting from the shaft for purposes of creating a vortex in the melting media.
FIG. 4 is an elevational view in cross section of the impeller.
FIG. 5 is a plan view of the impeller taken along line V--V of FIG. 2.
Referring now more specifically to FIG. 1, there is shown a schematic of a circulatory melting system 20 incorporating the present invention. In the circulatory melting system 20, molten melting media is circulated from the heating bay 22 along line 24 to a bay 26 wherein pumping, scrap charging and melting is accomplished simultaneously. Thereafter, the melt is circulated back to the heating bay 22 via line 28 which can pass through a fluxing bay 30. The heating bay can have a discharge line 32 which in the circulatory system can discharge molten metal at a rate commensurate with the feed rate of scrap to bay 26. This type of circulatory system is highly efficient in its use of heat input and in its freedom from skim generation, particularly when used in conjunction with fluxing bay 30.
The melting media may be heated in heating bay 22 by combustion units discharging their heat upon its surface. Alternatively, electric induction or resistance heaters immersed in the molten media may be used.
The melting media can be molten metal of similar composition to the metal charge or it may be a molten salt. If a molten salt is used, a salt-metal separation would normally be necessary to facilitate the removal of the melted metal. When molten aluminum is the melting media, a typical temperature leaving the heating bay 22 is about 1400� F. although this temperature can range from 1325� to 1475� F. but with a higher temperature there is a greater tendency to form skim. A typical temperature re-entering heating bay 22 is about 1300� F. This provides about a 100� F. temperature drop across the melting bay to provide heat to melt the charge.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is shown bay 26 which allows for charging metal scrap 60, for circulating molten melting media 50 and melting of metal scrap, all of which can occur simultaneously. As will be noted, bay 26 is preferably generally circular in cross section and can be generally cylindrical in shape or may have walls 48 which are downwardly, converging, as illustrated in FIG. 2.
In operation, molten melting media 50 is circulated from heating bay 22 to bay 26 and back to the heating bay by means of a rotating impeller, generally referred to as 70. The action of impeller 70 located in lower portion 72, as well as providing circulation in the system, draws melting media up into upper portion 74 of bay 26. That is, impeller 70 continuously replenishes the body of melting media 50 contained in bay 26. Scrap 60 is fed along an endless belt 62 into bay 26 where it is ingested by the molten melting media 50. The combination of melting media and molten metal from the melted scrap is removed from bay 26 through opening 80 located in upper portion 74 of bay or housing 26. The removal is at a rate substantially commensurate with the rate of their introduction thereto. The combination may be introduced to a fluxing bay, for example, as shown in FIG. 2 for purposes of removing skim or dross.
It will be observed from FIG. 2 that the metal scrap is ingested and melted in bay 26 free from problems of metal scrap becoming wedges in the impeller or becoming wedged between the impeller and volute wall 40. That is, it will be observed by inspection of bay 26 that in spite of the melting media being drawn up through the lower portion 72 of bay or housing 26, the flow of molten melting media is controlled so as to provide vortex 90. The vortex is effective in forcibly submerging or ingesting metal scrap into the melting media. The flow of molten media introduced by impeller 70 is controlled by vanes 100 projecting from drive shaft 76. Vanes 100 shown in FIG. 2 are mounted on drive shaft 72 substantially adjacent impeller 70. However, it should be noted that vanes 100 may be mounted on shaft 72 so as to be spaced apart from the impeller. Thus, rotation of drive shaft 76 by motor 78 serves to both introduce or replenish melting media 50 in bay 26 by action of the impeller and to create a vortex and therefore provide efficient ingestion and melting of metal scrap by action of vanes 100.
From FIG. 2 it will also be seen that the melting media in bay 26 is shown generally as being pulled downwardly in the vicinity of the drive shaft by action of vanes 100 and as being pushed upwardly in the general vicinity of wall 48. It should be noted that this may be a somewhat simplified representation of the flow pattern of the melting media in the vortex. That is, in addition to the up and down flow illustrated, there is substantial circular flow resulting from the action of impeller 70 and vanes 100.
A preferred impeller and vanes which have been found to be highly suitable for the operation of both continuously replenishing the body of molten media in bay 26 and creating a vortex therein is illustrated in FIG. 3. Impeller 70 has blades 71 mounted on a substantially circular disc 73. Blades 71 extend substantially perpendicularly from disc 73 and are joined to a flat ring member 75. From FIG. 4 it can be seen that central area, referred to as 77, of blades 71 is removed to increase the efficiency of the impeller. It will be understood that in operation of the impeller molten media enters central area 77 more or less axially and is expelled radially by virtue of the impeller design. Also, in the preferred embodiment of impeller 70, blades 71 extend from a central hub 81 in a generally radial direction and, as shown in FIG. 5, have a curved configuration which aids in the impeller efficiency.
Ring member 75 performs an important function in the impeller of the present invention. That is, ring member 75 acts to ensure that the flow of molten metal is first directed to the low energy part of the impeller in order to impart a relatively high radial velocity or discharge of molten media. It will also be understood that inside surface 79 of ring member 75 also resists downward movement of molten media exiting radially, resulting in higher efficiency of the impeller. Thus, ring member 75 permits bottom opening 41 (FIG. 2) to have a much larger extent. That is, in conventional systems opening 41 is usually much smaller than the extent of the impeller in order to direct the molten media towards the center of the impeller. One of the problems with having an opening 41 smaller in extent than the impeller is that the opening can become blocked. Even though not clearly understood, it has been discovered that providing the smaller opening for directing molten media into the impeller results in freedom from blocking.
By an inspection of FIG. 2, it will be observed that impeller 70 can be withdrawn upwardly out of housing 48 with any one of a number of systems suitable for that purpose. Hence, if the impeller becomes inoperative, it can be replaced very quickly. Thus, in a circulatory system such as this, there is a certain degree of freedom from concern over freezing of the melting media.
In the invention as presently set forth, it is preferred to avoid extensive scrap accumulation on the surface of the molten melting media in bay 26. Rather, it is preferred to have the scrap consumed or ingested more or less as it is discharged from the conveyor belt into the melting media. Having an accumulation of scrap in bay 26 can lead to scrap metal discharging from the bay before being melted. Thus, while some accumulation can be tolerated, it is preferred that the discharge rate of scrap feed be synchronized with that of the rate of flow of the molten melting media such that virtually no accumulation takes place. If accumulation is observed, it may be remedied by increasing the rpm of the impeller thereby causing greater flow of molten melting media. Alternatively, the rate of scrap feed can be decreased or a combination of these may be used.
In the present system, materials of construction of bay 26 can be any material suitably resistant to erosion of corrosion by molten aluminum or molten salts. Such materials include silicon carbide or any other refractory normally used with molten aluminum. With respect to the impeller, since dimensions can be relatively imprecise when compared to pumps normally used to pump molten metals, e.g. no seals, etc., the impeller and shaft can be cast. Alternatively, if the fabricating material is graphite, the impeller assembly can be conveniently machined. Preferably, the impeller 70 and shaft 76 are fabricated from a refractory material comprising a zinc borosilicate frit. A particularly suitable zinc borosilicate frit is described in U.S. application Ser. No. 759,984, hereby incorporated by reference.
While the invention has been described in terms of preferred embodiments, the claims appended hereto are intended to encompass other embodiments which fall within the spirit of the invention.

It is no secret that Facebook has taken over some part of our lives and now we are an inevitable part of it. And with great confidence I can say that the first thing that almost everyone of this 'Internet generation' does after waking up is to check their Facebook accounts. One would prefer being active on Facebook as more worthy of their time rather than other important obligations and work. Facebook addiction has now become a serious issue with Facebook standing at a whooping 1.1 Billion users worldwide. But are you a Facebook addict?
Facebook addiction according to therapists, is a fine line between social networking and social dysfunction. Here's what Paula Pile, a marriage and family therapist in Greensboro, North Carolina had to say about the current conditions of Facebook addiction:
"Last Friday, I had three clients in my office with Facebook problems, it's turned into a compulsion — a compulsion to dissociate from your real world and go live in the Facebook world."
Pile and the other therapists were interviewed by CNN and were quick to say that Facebook itself isn't the problem and that the vast majority of its 200 million users probably function just fine. She says problems arise when users ignore family and work obligations because they find the Facebook world a more enjoyable place to spend time than the real world.
With the advent of technologies it has now become accessible more than ever. This simply supplements your addiction to Facebook and brings everything to your fingertips. Use of Facebook as a means of communication and connectivity with the ones you care about is good. But it shouldn't lead to the point where your offline social life gets replaced by social life on Facebook.
Are you not sure about how much of a Facebook addict you are? No need to worry. Below are 5 of the surefire signs that you are turning out to be a Facebook addict. You can also take a 'How addicted to Facebook are you?' quiz at Oatmeal.
You are obsessed with your 'Facebook Fame'
Do you get anxious for the next 15 minutes after you just update your Facebook status over what's the outcome would be? You are a Facebook addict obsessed about your Facebook image. If the status update your profile picture you just updated makes you more anxious over how the response would be you are obsessed with your Facebook Fame/Image.
Many of the Facebook users want reward for their activity on Facebook with likes and positive comments. Facebook brings about a sense of reward among its users and you are an addict if you are obsessed with it. According to Dr. Dar Meshi, of Germany's Freie University, looked at the activity in this part of the brain in 31 people and compared the results to the people's Facebook usage.
'As human beings, we evolved to care about our reputation. In today's world, one way we're able to manage our reputation is by using social media websites like Facebook.'
Everyone loves getting a like or a positive comment for the update they've just made. But make sure you don't get obsessed with it. According to the above mentioned research, Facebook users respond more to feedback and positive response is reward to the brain. If you are thinking a lot over your next funny, humorous, and entertaining update that will make you feel like a cool guy/girl is a sign of being an addict.
You prefer Facebook over your physical life
People are now so busy with Facebook messaging, sharing photos, updating statuses, commenting and liking other posts that they simply forget they have a physical life too! If you are compromising your physical life for a better appeal on Facebook, you are a Facebook addict.
All you do on Facebook is to pretend as someone you are not in the real life. You assume all this for being appealing to others. If you are compromising a good night's sleep, a walk in the park, a cup of coffee with a close friend, real world get-together with friends, for Facebook, you are a Facebook addict.
At the end of the day your deeds, responsibilities and obligations count rather than the number of likes you get on Facebook. You have a life to live and don't compromise your precious time for pity updates on Facebook.
You are obsessed about reporting everything
In the times when a lot of the people are concerned about their online privacy, some of them just cross the extent and post about their sensitive and intimate lives on Facebook. If you explicitly reveal your anger, excitement, feelings and thoughts about others on Facebook, you are an addict.
It is good to share your thoughts on Facebook, but do too much of it and you end up regretting later for your actions on Facebook. Over sharing is a lot common among Facebook addicts, you share too much and later end up regretting what you have posted on it.
Everyone of us has a Facebook friend that somehow always manages to get into our Facebook newsfeed with a status update, or a like, a share or a check-in. These people are too busy on Facebook sharing every mundane task they are going through. This is a sign of an addict. These people need to remind everyone that they exist and show how much fun they are having, when in fact all they do is just pretend.
You go crazy to make more friends
The number of Facebook friends you have has somehow now become more of a symbol for a 'higher' social life. If you take a look at the number of friends your friend has managed to gather and you simply keep on adding more people to your friends just to show off your social life, you are an addict.
One must realize that the number of Facebook friends is just a 'Number without any meaning'. Relationships are made with meaning and not by numbers. According to a study, Facebook users with higher number of Friends tend to be more stressed out due to the fact that they have to handle a lot many of people according to the way they are connected in real life. You have different etiquette's for your parents, your siblings, you college friends, you school friends, your workplace colleagues, your employee, and handling many of them at a time causes to rise in stress.
Worry about meaningful relationship instead of just increasing the number of your Facebook friend count.
You spend more than hour on it everyday
It is very difficult to pin-point the exact amount of time spent on Facebook is too much. The time factor in turn depends on a various aspects like your current duties and obligations and the amount of free time you get not the time you make up.
But according to many therapists, anything above over an hour of daily Facebook use should indicate you are stepping over the line. Paula Pile, a marriage and family therapist had to say this about time spent on Facebook:
"I can't imagine that anyone would need more than an hour a day on Facebook, and probably no one needs more than 30 minutes."
Conclusion – Stay Addict or use it for your Advantage
Too much of anything is bad and so it goes with Facebook. Facebook is just another service and don't let it become your daily habit.
Below are 6 things you should do become less of a Facebook addict:
- Stop venting your anger and sensitive comments on Facebook
- Prefer real life one-on-one or group meetups over Facebook socializing.
- Cut down your time spent on Facebook and spread out checking Facebook over three or four times a day for a time span of no more than 10 minutes.
- Make sure Facebook isn't the first thing or the last thing of your day.
- Work first, Facebook later.
- Care less about your Facebook Fame and instead worry of your real life character.

Ansible is a simple configuration management and command execution framework for push and pull deployments for Unix/Linux systems using an existing SSH infrastructure. It's particularly easy to deploy because neither does it require an agent on managed nodes (a newish implementation of Python suffices) nor does it require a complex PKI. We show you how to quickly get started using Ansible for ad-hoc tasks, discuss some of its modules and introduce you to Ansible's playbooks and variables. We show you how to run Ansible as a normal user (non-root), how to configure inventory data, and give you sundry tips on using Ansible effectively. If you prefer a pull-based setup, we show you how to implement that as well. We'll discuss roles, use of variables and lookup plugins.

Almost got sucked into a "hole" at the end of a jetty, wave passed by and I felt this uncomfortable backward pull, paddled as hard as I could got away, looked over my shoulder and realized I would have be toast if I got pulled in.
Second, not really sketchy just ****ty, over the falls, under my longboard, under the wave, fins into shin, = 50 stitches, 18 outside, 30 something inside, now infected, most likely will spend the day in the hospital tomorrow. Sucks a$$ I'll be out for awhile!

A big winter swell in Florida... of all places... as a kid. Really stormy and disorganized and breaking WAY outside at Patricks AFB. First time I'd ever surfed there, and there was a lot of sweeping current and chaos. The guy I went with didn't even make the paddle out, and it took me forever. Finally made it out... all by myself. Took off on a suicide bomb, and my leash broke. Looked up and couldn't see my board anywhere. Started to swim... looked up to see my friend on the beach... a speck... pointing. Started to swim hard... kept drifting down the beach. Started to panic. Kept looking up to see my friend jogging up the beach to keep pace with me drifting. Swam as hard as I could for a LONG time, and finally made it to the beach and puked. For a while there, I really didn't know what was gonna happen to me or where I'd end up. Felt like I drifted about a mile... at least in my head.

Central FL for me too,late 90's. Just south of Jupiter. Solid NE groundswell with a rip pulling alot of water south. After a few hours, tide and rip changing quick. I get caught sleeping with my eyes open. The rip pulls me into the swimming beach marker and my leash wraps. I get pulled under real quick. My only good chance is to pull the pin on my leash at the ankle strap. I love that invention. Saved my ass.
On the stupidity level.....I have mentioned the south swell in Waikiki in '95. I never should have gave up my board. I should have strapped the two boards together and floated with the two girls. Wait to be rescued. Dumb move on my part. Got really lucky that day.

Don't make this dumb mistake! It was mid June in OC, my girlfriend just showed up for the summer. Although an over head powerful storm swell just arrived with walls thick enough to crush boards just had to make it out to the lineup. The Bch patrol were only allowing surfers out if they were dumb enough. The current and undertow was treacherous over the sand bar waiting for lulls in the sets. I was just about over the backside of the bar when the next set was rolling in. So paddled like hell to the shoulder to avoid the impact of the A frame. I was still just a little to far inside, as I poped up, the wall pick up the stick slid it down the wave face while the curl rolled me faced first on the deck of my Frye. I hit so hard it knock me semi conscious floating up and under the foam. Another surfer caught inside rolled me on his board so I wouldn't drown. He shot the board toward the beach where I fell off on the sand and blacked out. I don't how long it was, paramedics were called and used smelling salt on me wake me up. I was still in state of shock, covered in blood, then jumped up ran down the beach looking for my board. The medics chassed me and tackled me as I was puking blood all over myself. They loaded me in the ambulance and off to Salisbury Hospital. The impact, knock out 1 tooth, split my lip down the middle, my chin was opened up like a can opener and my nose was shattered. The deck of the Frye had imprint of my face crushed over an inch into the foam as it was easily repaired over the surgery to repair my face the following winter.

mines idiotic. drifted too far out during a hurricane swell and started lazily paddling back in. take about 20 strokes before i hear the faint sound of a feathering lip behind me. just as i look back i get sucked up the face and over the falls. don't get a good breath and practically drown. worst of all it was early in the sesh and i never really recovered and missed out on one of the best days of the year. lame...

holy s h i t! nicaragua is pretty sketchy it seems! what a story that was yankee! i've been to nicaragua just only a year, and a half ago. it was nice, and it seemed sketchy, but i was only there a day, and didn't see anything too bad. same with el salvador, and costa rica, and puerto escondido mexico. i was only in those places for one day, but have heard some bad stuff about them. luckily i had good experiences. i did see some sharks in costa rica, and everyone got out of the water. i've seen them before, but it was pretty scary out there especially with that warm water, but it was very nice, and i would go back again.
me i got nothing sketch involving surfing.

walked up to the wrong building (thinking it was the hostel) and was greeted by 2 giant great, really pissed off Danes. I was positive the headline would read "Gringo maimed to death by man eating dogs". Luckily a man with a machete came out to save... the dogs. I was then being screamed at in angry spanish by a guy with a machete, barked at and circled by blood thirsty danes, and nearly pissing myself. When I got back to the hostel, like 2am, i was so shaken up that I couldn't sleep, so i headed back out. Wouldnt you know I ended up getting robbed at knife point on my way back to the monkey bar. One bad night in costa... or one epic adventure, you tell me? Lesson to be learned- watch your ass after midnight in Tamarindo, cuz the predators are out.

I never really had a problem in Tamarindo. I had herd crazy stories; but, honestly I would be more concerned with walking around parts of Wilmington,New Jersey and NYC than in Costa..Nica on the other hand can get shady. Just use common sense when out of the country and don't act like a fool.
\nThe sketchiest situation that I have ever been in was seeing two separate triangular dorsal fins swimming parallel to the beach on Hatteras Island. I also have surfed the t-storm sessions in Costa. But seeing how many locals disregard the thunder/lighting, I figured it was worth the risk.

not quite in the water...
I'll go....
My buddy Eric & I stayed at a brand-new place just outside of San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua. (In fact, this place lodged the entire crew & cast of 'Survivor' as the series filmed in Nica.)
First day in-country, we surfed it up pretty good. By evening, we were both wiped from the Central American sun & lots of clean, peeling 6 foot waves. We called it an early night. Eric downstairs in the bedroom just off the kitchen, me in the upstairs loft-like bedroom.
Around 1230am I kinda slowly become conscious to someone yelling. I figure that it's someone outside the unit, drunk or something. I vaguely become aware, through the haze of sleep, of my name. How strange is that, I'm thinking. Someone's bellowing 'Mike, Mike.' WTF, that sounds like Eric. I jump out of bed & go out to the top of the stairs & look down on a surreal scene going on in the living room area.
Eric is standing up & grappling with some dude. The dude looks like a local Nica, he's dressed in dark blue pants & a white long-sleeve collared shirt. He looks almost like a security guard or something, at first glance. WTF. He IS a security guard ! I see his gun & radio on his belt as he's pushing & shoving Eric.
As I run down the stairs to get into the action, the dude sees me coming & moves backwards from Eric & starts to unholster his gun. F*** that! I smash my fists into his face, repeatedly, knock him down, blood flows (his),
I'm yelling at Eric to get his gun. Eric grabs the gun. Gives it to me. I'm holding the gun on the guy, asking WTF is going on here ?
Eric says he was sound asleep & woke up to a shadow figure in his bedroom, going through his wallet & taking money. He jumped up & grappled with the guy, and the yend up in the living room & Eric's hollering my name to come help.
Weird(er) moment. While Eric is gone to get help, I have an almost overpowering urge to shoot the thief in his knee. Just to see what that feels like to shoot someone, just to feel the power. Like I said: it was a strange night.
So I'm holding the pistol on this guy & he's bleeding from the mouth where I clocked him & he's pleading in Spanish for us not to call the police. F*** that. Thievin' prick. Eric goes out & after 20 mins finally gets the manager to get his fat arse up to our unit - the developer happened to be there too & he came up to see what was going on.
Here's the (really) creepy part. We explain what happened. The developer takes the security guard away. Then brings him back to hear the guard's side of it. And the guard has his gun back! And we demand to get moved to a different unit. Developer moves us. He asks what he can do for us. We say, bring us beer & rum. And we're def not paying for the condo stay. No prob.
So we stay up all night in the condo, drinking rum & beer & laughing & me icing my hand where I must have punched the guard in his head when we were going at it & my hand is swollen as hell.
We had a long, restless night....we feared that the guard, being a local Nica, is gonna bring in the extended family & wipe us out. We barricaded the doors & windows with couches & chairs & we dozed off just before dawn with large knives at our sides. Just in case.
Dawn finally arrived. We threw our gear in the 4wd & prepared to get the hell outta Dodge. No way were we sticking around to see what this dude's relatives were gonna do to the 2 gringos. The developer saw us as we were leaving & pleaded with us not to post any bad reviews or reports of what happened to us on his property on the Internet. We just shook our heads in disgust & split.
Eric went over to the Corn Islands to check it out. I went back home to get my hand checked: broken thumb from an errant punch to the dude's skull.
Quite a night.

After reading some of these posts I had to chime in with my OH SH!T moment. I surfed throughout my childhood and teenage years after high school I went to a landlocked university and reluctantly gave up surfing for several years. After college I got heavily into sponging, body surfing with fins during the redflaggers and a few years later surfing. So as I was just getting back into surfing in 2009 I decided to take a trip with my wife to Cabo San Lucas. I didnt know anyone down there and have a lot of respect for local knowledge so I decided to book a surfing excursion to utilize locals as opposed to bringing a board and jumping in. So I booked the excursion for Friday 10-16-2009 at Old Mans, a perfect cobblestone bottom point break with a channel cut by a stream that acted like a conveyerbelt for the paddle out. Nearly every wave broke at the same exact spot giving a short punchy left hander or a long peeling right until you got to the channel. On Friday the surf was 3-5 feet and insanely perfect for me and almost to big to run the surf school only a few people caught waves on the shoulder not at the peak of the point. I caught a ton of waves the instructors giving me props the whole time. Well needless to say I was super excited and booked another surf excursion for Sunday. The forecast was calling for 5-7 feet Hurricane Rick was predicted to stay a cat 1 about 1000 miles dues south no worries. Well Sunday morning rolls around and the forecast is still calling for 5-7 feet I get to the surf spot the instructors say it is to big to run the surf school but I could still go out. So I grab the 96 longboard they brought for me and paddle right past 2 other guys knee deep in the surf scoping it out. Dumb move! I did not take time to see what was going on and I would later SH!T myself for being so hasty. Well I ended up paddling out by dumb luck during a lull in the sets, even so the waves were at least 2wice the size they were 2 days before but still not breaking out in the channel. There was about 15 or so people out at the point so I got in line a little to the outside to wait for a wave. 5 or so minutes go by and I see a wall way out on the horizon, everyone in the lineup immediately turns and shags ass to try and make it past the first breaker, I paddle my ass off and realize Im not gonna make past the break so I look behind me no ones there so I ditch and dive under the wave it grabs the board and ragdolls me underwater for a solid 15 seconds I break the surface and continue to take another 4 waves on the head. I am now thinking that was by no means a 7 foot wave it was much bigger. At this point I am tired so I paddle waaayyyy outside into the channel where I figure I can catch my breath. The sets keep rolling in and getting bigger by the set. Then I see a set way out in the distance that looks like its gonna break in the channel at that time one of the surf instructors Roberto gets out to me and says its waayyyy to big and we need to go in. This wave was a F@cking monster the fear I felt when I saw it breaking outside us is indescribable. We both ditch our boards and dive under it, and take another 3 waves after, although they had broken far out and were white wash by the time they got to us. After the set Roberto says to me it never breaks this far out in the channel and it is definitely over 10 feet. We paddle our asses off toward shore only to get nearly broke in 2 by a shore pound close out. I got back into shore after this 2 hour ordeal exhausted and listening to the locals talk about how big it is and they havent seen it like this in a decade and that it is well over DO. Later, I got back to the all inclusive we stayed at and immediately went to the bar, then my room to check the buoys, they had upped the forecast on surfline to 15-18 feet by days end and the cat 1 hurricane was now a cat 5 175mph sustained 600 miles due south moving north. Later that evening we took a booze cruise to lovers point on a 300 person partyboat. They captain would not leave the harbor because the surf was extremely large and dangerous all I did was chuckle.
See the article in the link below I still cant believe I went out in it.

From the archives: if I recall correctly, there was a guy on here awhile back who posted a saga about when he, or his buddy, was out in large surf & wiped out. During the tumble, his stick found him & the fin basically carved him from his taint onto his package. Just tore him apart down there.
And he still had to make it back to shore to get to hospital. I still cringe recalling that one.
That one stand out in my mind as one of the more gruesome tales from the surf.

Out in 5-7 ft. typical pretty heavy Jersey surf. SUPper and I both catch waves from the same set. We're both inside and he takes off in front of me paddling back out. I'm about 15-20ft. behind him when the next set rolls through. I'm scrambling to get out from behind him but it's too late. Without even looking he ditches his board and ducks under the wave. As I go for my duckdive all I see is a 12' SUP bouncing right towards me. Wondering if the leash is going to catch it and hold or if he will just get dragged and I'll take the SUP to the head. I duck as deep as I can and didn't get hit but I was bracing for impact. Come up. Guy just looks at me, gets back on and keeps paddling. Get out to the lineup and I let him know that he almost just killed me. He was like "oh, sorry. I can't turtle roll it." I was like, "what? if you can't control your board, don't SUP where there's other people."

#3. a 2 ft day in Maui, surrounded by tiger sharks...
#2. a 15+ft day on sunset cliffs. Lineup clearing set wave, followed by another right befoer I surfaced and held me under for a good 15 seconds. Broke 2 toes trying to duck dive my board with my feet like 10 feet under water... I was the only guy out for like an hour after that. Scared sh**less trying to pick off an edge to ride in.
#1. a 12-15ft SOLID SW swell pumping into Calafia in Baja. It was only me and a few buddies. DOH+ on every set. Sheet glass. Low tide... To get out to the spot, you gotta paddle out through a sketchy cove, with underwater rock jetties and jagged reefs everywheere and paddle a good 800 yards south around a rocky point. While in the lineup, you have to navigate around 15 foot BOMBS dropping into 2 feet of water off the point.... There is no way out of the inside... Just jagged reef for hundreds of yards in from the right hander... If you try and ride in to the beach on that, you will die. Just shredded against the shallow reefs by 10 feet of whitewater... So after every massive right you took, you had to scrape back out to survive... And the exit is back to the same sketchy cove, an 800 yard paddle to the north, where you have to take off on a GIANT right, that mushes up against the rock wall of the cove, and then refracts back into a left and puts you on the beach... No room for error. You have to ride the wave up into the wall, then it balled up, I layed down and slingshotted back into the beach.... If anything went wrong that day, you could feel death looming. The entire inside of the entry/exit cove is all jagged rocks and reef. EVERYWHERE under the surface. You get pitched off one of the waves jsut going back in, and you are as good as impaled. ... I have not surfed that spot since.... It was wetsuit sh**ing, piss your pants, saying prayers in the lineup type surf.... Just freight trains over shallow reef with no way out.... You must be 100% commited..... Never been happier to feel the sand in my toes.... My crazy Navy seal buddy failed ot mention everything that went into surfing that spot... I just got a 3am phone call "Hey, get your big wave baord, its on" I didnt think it through or ask enough questions....

Research Institution:
Abstract65565 Lasers play an important role in research seeking new mechanisms for high-gradient electron acceleration. This project will develop technology to produce a 90 MeV gyrating electron beam with particles advancing in phase at the laser frequency, executing one cycle each 35 fs. A beam stop with an off-axis channel will transmit a short beam pulse every optical cycle, thereby producing a train of about 30 one pC microbunches for each laser pulse. These bunches can be focused to a few microns width in one transverse direction using a quadrupole and injected into a planar dielectric-lined waveguide where cumulative buildup of wakefields can lead to acceleration gradients approaching 1 GV/m. In Phase I, a practical beam optics arrangement will be devised to direct a gyrating, finite-emittance beam from a laser-based vacuum accelerator, through a beam stop with an off-axis channel, through a quadrupole, and into a planar dielectric-lined waveguide. The arrangement will be optimized for maximum microbunch charge and minimum transverse width in the dielectric-lined waveguide. Commercial Applications And Other Benefits as described by the awardee: Thousands of inexpensive micro-scale wake field generators could be required for a future collider. Micron-scale electron bunches can also be used in plasma-based accelerators and in the generation of intense bursts of sub-harmonic radiation, required in many areas of research.

All Rise...
Judge Michael Nazarewycz is getting a little choked up.
The Charge
Erotic? Serious? Funny? Tragic? A Mystery? A Game? A Paradox? Neo-Sadism? A Detective Story?
Opening Statement
Sometimes you look for the movies. Sometimes the movies find you.
There are a lot of moving parts behind the scenes here at Verdict. The staff is spread across the country, watching dozens of DVDs every week and filing reviews on them to a crack editorial staff for review and posting. (Yes, I'm sucking up to my editor.) With all of these moving parts, sometimes little hiccups can occur. My little hiccup was Trans-Europ-Express, which was sent to me in error.
I don't necessarily specialize in any particular genre, but I have a few that are in my swing zone. I can assure you that 1960s European Art Cinema is not in my swing zone. Like I said, sometimes the movies find you. This one found me—and that's okay.
Facts of the Case
Filmmaker Jean and his secretary Lucette (director Alain Robbe-Grillet and his real-life wife Catherine) are aboard the new train known as the Trans-Europ-Express when Jean has the inspiration to write a film that is set, in part, on the locomotive. The story will be one of a man who gets involved in drug trafficking and rape. The protagonist is Elias, played by Jean-Louis Trintignant (Amour). The filmmakers decide to cast him in the lead when he makes a brief appearance on their train. Elias spends the film embroiled in an "adventure" littered with shady criminals, a prostitute, and other questionable ne'er-do-wells.
The Evidence
All you need to do is look at "The Charge" above (which is the film's tagline, according to IMDb) to understand just how peculiar this film is. Every word or phrase in that tagline should be followed not by a question mark, but by an exclamation point, as the film is jammed with all of it. This is both a blessing and a curse, as it never settles into any of those attributes long enough to get into a rhythm. It isn't that it's trying to be all things to all viewers, it's almost stream-of-consciousness filmmaking.
Most shocking (for lack of a better definition) is the erotic vein of the film. Elias has a bondage and rape fantasy fetish that he plays out frequently with a prostitute (the gorgeous Marie-France Pisier, Cousin cousine). The action is tame by today's cinematic standards, but the scenes are no less unsettling, as Elias' satisfaction seems less about committing the act and more about fulfilling a need to commit the act.
Aiding this overall viewing experience is the fact that Trans-Europ-Express is a film within a film. Beyond that (or in addition to it?), the Elias story plays out as the filmmakers are thinking of it. This means there is the occasional stoppage in the action to question character motivation or verify the continuity of actions. The interruptions become fewer as the movie proceeds, and you get used to the storytelling methodology, but there are so many spinning plates to begin with, it's one more thing to manage.
Like the film, the technical presentation here is also peculiar. Unlike most Blu-rays, which attempt to offer something in the neighborhood of pristine imagery, the 1080p transfer of Trans-Europ-Express (Blu-ray) zigs instead of zags. Kino Lorber has opted to offer a very organic granular look to the film. It's clearly an artistic expression, which takes some getting used to. Beyond that, though, there are some issues with the imagery, mainly washout along a subject's outline when there is bright backlight, as well as minor visible damage to the film print. There is nothing noticeable—good or bad—in the PCM 2.0 audio track. Voices are clear and sounds—be they ambient or prominent—are discernible.
The extras are okay. They include a 2014 promotional spot showcasing clips from "The Cinema of Alain Robbe-Grillet" Blu-ray collection, as well as full trailers for three of those films. The real draw is the 32-minute interview with the director. During the discussion, the Robbe-Grillet delves into the film's origins as well as some personal connections to the film.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
I was oddly intrigued by the whole thing. At no time did I know where the story would go next, and while I thought none of the elements were compelling enough on their own, their combination and presentation kept the film from laying flat on the screen. This could have been a disaster, and yet somehow it all works.
Closing Statement
I'm not quite ready to board the 1960s European Art Cinema train, but I am happy Trans-Europ-Express chose me, opening my eyes to a genre I wouldn't have otherwise sought out.
The Verdict
Not guilty.

The default operating system for this machine is Windows 7 Home Premium and we are happy to report that Dell installs the 64-bit variant as standard. We get a performance rating score of 5.1 with the default configuration and shown above is the software installed by Dell at their factory. Some of the software is useful, such as Flash and Adobe Reader but there are some useless items such as Live! Cam Avatar Creator. McAfee is also installed but our first recommendation would be to remove this intrusive resource hog and replace it with something like Avast! or Microsofts own antivirus.
Dell also installs their own tweaks on the OS such as a dock which is no doubt designed to appeal to Mac OS fans. There are no lock status LEDs on the Inspiron 15R, Dell software provides onscreen notifications of items such as CAPS LOCK.

More than 73,000 low-income state households enrolled in SNAP, including all of those in New London County, will receive storm-related replacement benefits on Saturday.
Local families enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will automatically receive 25 percent of their October benefit amount in electronic benefit transfer accounts this Saturday, the office of Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced Thursday.
The average benefit replacement statewide is $62, and the benefits can be used only for federally approved food items at supermarkets, grocery stores and farmers markets.
The replacement benefits come after the state suffered more than 650,000 power outages during Sandy, leading to spoiled food. Many residents, including some locally, were without power until this past weekend. All enrolled families in New London County will be provided the benefits because more than 50 percent of each town was without power for more than four hours.
"For many families, the replacement of these benefits can mean the difference between having a meal and going hungry," Malloy said in a release. "I thank the Obama Administration and, particularly, USDA Food and Nutrition Service officials for their swift and thorough response to Connecticut's appeal for replacement food benefits. The fact that we can work together so closely at the state and federal levels is a critical factor in bringing genuine relief to Connecticut residents."

Game start problem
Help! I can open battlefront 2 to the main menu, but if i try to start a game (By this i mean on instant action i press the launch button, on the campaign menu if I click the tutorial button, etc.) it closes and returns to the desktop, so I have to open it again, just to find I have the same problem again. This happens every time. I am running it on vista which it should be compatible with. I tried the analyze your computer thing and it says everything is fine for the game. I've even tried re-installing the game and playing it in safe mode, neither work! I got this computer about 2 weeks ago, so it shouldn't have any big problems with it. Can anyone help, please?
Thanks in advance, Tom

this will help u
If you're running dual core, you may need to turn one of them off. Find the procedure for turning one off and other CTD issues in the SWBF2 TweakGuides.
Good Luck!
I have the exact same problem with my copy of BF2, except I'm running it on XP.
My specs:

With that set up.. you have to shut off one of your cores to run the game.. the "how to" is in the SWBF2 TweakGuide here:
How do I set my automatic command prompt to be C:\Documents and Settings\My name\Desktop>?
You don't need the command prompt. Just follow the "Dual Core crash fix" procedure in the tweak guide.

A Re-evaluation of Fundamental Transform Structures for Efficient Implementation on Semi-parallel DSP Architectures
High performance DSPs have been used extensively for the implementation of signal transforms in transform based audio coders. While the first generation of DSPs featured single stage MAC (Multiple Accumulate) blocks, the current generation of DSPs feature dual-MAC hardware blocks. Though fast algorithms are available for implementation of transforms, a re-look at the algorithms from this semi-parallel architecture point of view is beneficial as it leads to more efficient implementations. This paper looks specifically at the family of lapped transforms, and quantifies the implementation efficiency of traditional fast optimizations on architectures with this type of semi-parallel computing capability, and derives algorithmic methods of increasing this efficiency.

Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani (OSMTH), is a self-styled order founded in 1945 by Antonio Campello Pinto de Sousa Fontes (1878-1960),[1][2][3] claiming to be a continuation of the self-styled l'Ordre du Temple founded in 1804 by Bernard-Raymond Fabré-Palaprat.[4] Fernando Campello Pinto Pereira de Sousa Fontes succeeded his father as the head of the order in 1960.
OSMTH-KTI does not officially recognize the claims laid out in the Larmenius Charter as historically valid,[5] but makes a moral and ethical claim to follow in the same spiritual path as the original Order.[6]
The order exists in each country under different jurisdictions. In America, the order is known as the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem, Inc (this being the English rendering of the Latin name).[7] They should not be confused with a multitude of other self-styled "Knights Templar", or the Masonic Knights Templar.
OSMTH-KTI is registered in Geneva, Swiss Reg No: CH-660.1.972777-4 and is in Special Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations has over 5000 active members in Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, England & Wales, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Serbia and in the United States.[8][9] OSMTH-KTI operates in a number of countries providing humanitarian aid [10] such as the River Jordan Project that is supported by HM King Abdullah of Jordan.[11]
OSMTH-KTI, which is open to Christians of any denomination, operates as a charity,[12] and engages in diplomatic and humanitarian works.[13]
Christian men who join the organisation are termed "Knights" with the honorific title of Chevalier and females are termed "Dames" with the honorific title of Chevaleresse (or Chevalière).[14] The modern Order has over 5000 members, many of whom are accomplished leaders in the military, business, government and ecclesiastical communities.[15]
Antonio Campello Pinto de Sousa Fontes in 1945 claimed that the OSMTH was the continuation of the neo-Templar order founded by Bernard-Raymond Fabre-Palaprat in 1804, using the Larmenius Charter as evidence of its pedigree.
OSMTH broke away from the organization led by Mr de Sousa Fontes in 1997. While OSMTH-KTI's rituals and traditions are currently based upon those of the historical Knights Templar, according to its website[5] and their present leader, Grand Master Patrick Rea,[16] there is no direct historical lineage claimed by OSMTH between OSMTH and the 12th century Templars.
In 2001, the Order was accredited by the United Nations Economic and Social Council as a non-governmental organisation, in special consultative status, one of over 2,000 organizations to hold this status.[17] The Order is an associate member of the International Peace Bureau and an affiliate of the International Center for Religion & Diplomacy,[13] which was founded by one of OSMTH's members.[12] in 2014, OSMTH was elected as a board member of CoNGO (Conference of NGOs in consultative status with the United Nations)
Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem[edit]
In 1970, a split occurred within the OSMTH and Fernando Campello Pinto Pereira created the The Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (SMOTJ), having previously succeeded his father as the head of the OSMTH in 1960.[2] This was caused when General Antoine (originally Antoni) Zdrojewski was unexpectedly elected as the new Grand Master of the OSMTH at the Convent of Paris in September, 1970.[18] Zdrojewski became the head of the Order, which he referred to by the French translation: "Ordre Souverain et Militaire du Temple de Jérusalem" (OSMTJ), until his death in 1989. Zdrojewski was succeeded by George Lamirand as the new head of the OSMTJ until his death in 1994.[19] George Lamirand was succeeded by Dr. Nicolas Haimovici Hastier who is the current OSMTJ Grand Master today.[20]
The SMOTJ has an American autonomous[21] branch of the Ordo Supremus Militaris Templi Hierosolymitani.[22][23] The ecumenical organization operates as a modern-day network of educated professionals.[13][21] As of August 2007, the organization had approximately 5,200 members.[24]

Gov. Corbett's proposed budget for 2014-15 would drastically cut funding for the Delaware River Basin Commission, which, despite his urging, has kept in place a moratorium on natural-gas drilling in the basin.
Democratic gubernatorial contender John Hanger, a former environmental protection secretary, called the cut "naked retaliation for the DRBC's continuing moratorium on gas drilling in the Delaware watershed." He urged the Assembly to not cut the funding.
The governor's energy executive, Patrick Henderson, disagreed, saying it was because other DRBC members have not been paying their share.

Ryan Miller is locked up and happy to be a Buffalo Sabre for six more years. Starting in the 2009-10 season, he's going to be paid like one of the National Hockey League's elite goaltenders. And Miller says he's prepared for the work it will take to handle the responsibility.
Miller signed a five-year, $31.25 million extension Friday that will take him through the 2013-14 season and keep him off the unrestricted free agent market next summer.
"I was really happy with the way it went," Miller said by phone from East Lansing, Mich., where he was attending his brother's wedding. "There wasn't that much back and forth. They made a good offer and projected what the marketplace is now going forward with the cap. It's a fair deal for both sides. I just like the fact they showed faith in me. They want to build a team with core guys. Signing Paul Gaustad was a good move I liked a lot. I liked the fact they wanted me in that core group."
Miller played a franchise-high 76 games last season and was clearly worn down. Coach Lindy Ruff lost all faith in backup Jocelyn Thibault and Miller was forced to play 34 games in a row in the Sabres' ill-fated playoff push.
Miller led the Sabres to back-to-back Eastern Conference finals in 2006 and '07 but his numbers slid some last year, with a 36-27-10 record, a 2.64 goals-against average and .906 save percentage. Among goalies who played at least 10 games, Miller was fourth in the NHL in January in GAA (1.97) and save percentage (.928). But in March, the fatigue set in as Miller was 21st out of 22 in GAA (3.21) and dead last in save percentage (.883).
"I consider last year as a hiccup," Miller said. "To be honest, there were a couple games I should have been better, we all could have. We think we have a lot to prove this year.
"I'll say this: If they put me in the same amount of games [as they did] last year this time, I'll be better prepared. We all want to put a better plan in place. I've approached them about that. We have to be smart about things, don't get caught [playing] 30-some games in a row."
"Most goaltenders his age aren't involved in that kind of ice time," General Manager Darcy Regier told reporters in HSBC Arena. "That was a real learning position for him and the organization. We're in a better position to support him now, both on defense and at backup [with the addition of veteran Patrick Lalime]. . . . Ryan and Lindy and [goaltending coach] Jim Corsi are going to lay out Ryan's schedule going forward to allow him both quality rest and lots of games."
Miller, who turned 28 on Thursday, will make $3.5 million this season. But when his salary jumps to $6.25 million next season, he will become the fourth-highest paid goalie in the NHL.
For the 2009-10 season, Miller will be behind only Calgary's Mikka Kiprusoff ($8 million), Vancouver's Roberto Luongo ($7.5 million), Henrik Lundqvist of the Rangers ($6.875 million).
"I don't think we're paying for potential here," Regier said. "He's established himself as one of the top young goaltenders. When you're talking about conference finals, playoff wins, what he's done in the playoffs, what he's done in his career."
"Darcy and Larry Quinn approached it from a very aggressive position and I thought that was the right move for them," said Miller's agent, former NHL goalie Mike Liut. "It was a pretty clear message to Ryan right away. Ryan's desire was always to remain in Buffalo. He's built some strong ties in Buffalo, likes the [charitable] work he's doing off the ice. People there have responded to his efforts and he's very appreciative of that."
Miller's original deal expires after this season and speculation was building throughout hockey circles that he was going to play out his contract and look to strike it rich with his hometown Detroit Red Wings. Miller would have almost certainly been considered the top goalie on the unrestricted free-agent market next July.
"The fact that he signed speaks volumes," Regier said. "He has never suggested anything other than, 'I want to stay in Buffalo.' "
"Overall as an organization, I think we're really healthy," Miller said. "I think having our own [AHL] team now in Portland is big. We all came through Rochester as a group and learned how to win together. That got interrupted a little bit for our organization with what happened there by sharing a team. I think we can push through that time. Now that we have our own team, guys can develop over one system.
"This sets me up for a good career," Miller said. "I want to win games and I want to do it here."e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
