Infiniti G35 Vs Honda Del Sol
http://import2race.com Infiniti G35 Vs Honda Del Sol 1/4 mile drag racing. World Drag Racing Circuit @ ISLAND DRAGWAY, New Jersey
Atlantic Street Movement Del Sol
Here's a feature we did of a 1995 Honda Del Sol. This Honda includes a removable and relocatable roof with a hardwood trunk inlay. Sitting static on Raceland coilovers with Avid gold Avid racing wheels and a Mugen Racing front bumper. Sporting an Atlantic Street Movement (ASM) banner, this build belongs to Khris Means, the creator of one of South Florida's prestigious car culture lifestyle. Although many would have mixed opinions about a Matte metallic blue wrapped Honda with Itasha livery, Khris is one of the most down to earth individuals we've had the pleasure of working with.

It was a wast of my time. It did not make since. And You should of had a the end, fin or something like that. It will just keep playing over and over again. Witch gave me an idea. You could make it a day to day thing. Like day one this happens day 2 this happen and so on untell the wolf gets shot in the head. (Or something!)
its was wel thought out and quite interesting.. make a long one
you could make a humorous series with this.. have the wolf talk and they happen to be roommates and everything hahah that would be AWESOME
Just because it doesn't have a storyline doesn't mean it isn't good. It's funny.
I mean, come on. Hitchiker's Guide had no storyline. Of course, that's a bad comparison, since this is good, and Hitchiker's Guide was the worst book I ever read. X3
i don't know were that was going about...there was not really a storyline... the graphics were good but it is not frontpage calibre...
It was pretty good, and I like how you showed the wolf as just an overgrown puppy instead of an evil, blood-thirsty monster like most movies do. Make it a little (lot) longer and put in a little bit of a storyline

For the past three years, blood tests have revealed that there is a problem with my liver. In March, a biopsy showed that I have a 'fatty liver'. Are there any natural approaches to dealing with this problem?
Peter Askew, Barnet
Fatty liver is characterised by the accumulation of fat in the liver. It can be associated with an excessive intake of alcohol. When this is not the case, it is termed 'non-alcoholic fatty liver disease'. NAFLD seems to be common in individuals suffering from metabolic syndrome (or Syndrome X), which has several features, including excess weight around the waist and midriff (abdominal obesity), high blood pressure and raised levels of the blood fats cholesterol and triglycerides. It is associated with excesses of the hormone insulin, one biochemical effect of which is to stimulate the liver to make fat. In addition to keeping your alcohol intake to a minimum, eat a diet low in foodstuffs which stimulate surges in insulin such as biscuits and soft drinks, and starches such as bread, potatoes, rice and pasta. Exercise also helps to moderate insulin levels.

The present invention relates generally to fluid handling systems having plural tanks or compartments connected for serial flow, and, more particularly, to a system for mixing and diluting detergent components for local spray washing purposes.
Detergent products employed in automated car washes usually include two broad types of chemical products inorganic alkalinity builders and organic surfactants. These detergents are typically delivered to car wash operators, ready to use, in concentrated liquid and powdered forms. Various difficulties, however, limit the concentration at which the detergents can be distributed and negatively influence the profit margin of capital-intensive, car washing businesses.
Because of well-known instability problems, liquid detergents must often be diluted with water and enhanced with costly stabilizing agents to prevent their breakdown during transit and subsequent storage prior to use. The disadvantages associated with increasing the fraction of water in a given detergent mixture are many, and associated manufacturing, packaging, transporting, and handling costs normally rise in proportion to the amount of water contained therein. Of course, highly concentrated liquid surfactants, absent the usual inorganic compounds, can be procured, but such are generally considered to be less effective as cleaning agents.
Detergents, delivered in powdered form, typically include a mix of finely divided phosphates, silicates and carbonates as well as a modest amount of evenly distributed liquid surfactant. Generally, the surfactant concentration in the resulting detergent composition is limited to approximately 15 percent by weight. Excess amounts of the surfactant result in powders wherein the individual granules tend to adhere to one another and fail to flow through state-of-the-art blending and dispensing equipment.
Dispensing premixed, powdered detergents in a modern car wash is especially problematic. Hand measurement of the detergent by inexperienced workmen is time consuming and prone to mistake. Detergent over-concentration can result in waste if separation of the several detergent components in the solution holding tank results. Automatic dispensing equipment, on the other hand, frequently yields detergents which lack effective concentrations of intended constituents due to their relative variations in water solubilities. Further, prolonged and unchecked dampness can lead to consolidation of the powdered material so as to completely prevent admission of the detergent into the car wash fluid stream through automated means.
In view of the above-mentioned problems, it is the principal object of the instant invention to provide an improved detergent mixing apparatus wherein discrete, highly-concentrated inorganic and organic compounds (replacing the heretofore standard liquid and powdered detergent mixtures of relatively dilute form) can be mixed in the proper proportion for immediate discharge into a car wash spraying system. These detergent chemicals, then, can be supplied as economical, highly-concentrated powders and liquids in stable form.
It is another object of the invention to provide a detergent mixing apparatus, for use with an external source of pressurized water, with a venturi and manifold assembly for drawing a number of discrete liquid chemicals into the flow of pressurized water passing through the assembly, the water flow being regulated by a float-actuated control valve capable of terminating the flow of pressurized water when the liquid level in the mixed detergent holding tank reaches a determined elevation.
It is a further object of the sent invention to provide a detergent mixing apparatus with a plurality of venturi and manifold assemblies, each having a common liquid feed from a single chemical supply container as well as additional and segregated liquid feeds so as to produce liquid cleaning agents having different washing characteristics and abilities.
It is an additional object of the instant invention to provide a detergent mixing apparatus with an improved venturi and manifold assembly which may be readily adapted for use with variable numbers of liquid detergent constituents and includes a number of metering tips, each connected between a manifold inlet and its associated liquid chemical supply container for controlling the relative proportion of liquid chemical drawn into the manifold.
It is another object of the invention to provide a detergent mixing apparatus of the type described wherein one of the liquid chemical supply containers is a dissolution tank for dissolving powdered chemicals, such as inorganic alkalinity builders, in water. A second float-actuated control valve restores the liquid level in the dissolution tank to a determined elevation by the addition of water whenever sufficient quantities of liquid have been drawn therefrom.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a detergent mixing apparatus with a dissolution tank including a submersible pump for circulating liquid to expedite the dissolving of powdered chemicals placed therein, the fluid discharge from the pump being directed into a bifurcated conduit having a first discharge opening positioned so as to impart a rotating motion to the tank contents and a second discharge opening having a strainer attached thereto
A further object of the instant invention is to provide an improved method for mixing detergent chemicals at a site proximate their ultimate use including the steps of: dissolving an inorganic chemical composition in water to form a saturated solution, providing a number of discrete liquid detergent additive supplies, serially fluidly connecting at least one of the liquid detergent additive supplies and the saturated solution supply to a manifold. drawing at least one liquid detergent additive and the saturated solution from the manifold and into a flowing stream of water, and transferring the at least one liquid detergent additive and the saturated solution in the flowing stream of water to a holding tank so that it may be drawn off for ultimate use.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in a detergent mixing apparatus for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the sent invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
The sent invention may be more readily described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a detergent mixing apparatus in accordance with the sent invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the manifold and venturi assembly of the sent invention, the holding tank shown in broken lines.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the manifold and venturi assembly showing details thereof.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the dissolution tank of the invention.
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the dissolution tank taken along line 5--5 of FIG. 4.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the accompanying drawings.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a detergent mixing apparatus 10 in accordance with the sent invention is illustrated. In the usual application, the apparatus 10 will be positioned at a site, such as an automated car wash, where a detergent solution of predetermined concentration is required. In its preferred form, the apparatus 10 includes a series of holding tanks 12, 14 and 16 for making and storing a finished liquid detergent from proper proportions of two or more detergent constituents, the detergent solution being most suitable for spray washing purposes. In fluid communication with the holding tanks 12, 14 and 16 is a dissolution tank 18 which converts finely-divided inorganic solids into a saturated liquid for controlled distribution to the holding tanks. A series of shipping containers 20, 22, 24 and 26 also in fluid communication with the holding tanks 12, 14 and 16 provides a supply of liquid surfactants and other detergent additives thereto.
Each of the shipping containers 20, 22, 24 and 26 holds a liquid detergent constituent at an elevation lower than that of the surface of the holding tanks 12, 14 and 16 to vent siphoning of liquid from the shipping containers. The liquid detergent constituent which may include, by way of example only, one or more surfactants, foamers, wetting agents, couplers, dyes and solvents. While only four are shown, additional containers may be provided as required in a particular installation of the instant invention. The liquids stored in the various shipping containers require the addition of no further additives prior to being withdrawn therefrom.
Each of the holding tanks 12, 14 and 16 is provided with a manifold and venturi assembly 28 for the controlled admission of detergent constituents thereto in response to internal liquid level variations. FIG. 2 illustrates the preferred manifold and venturi assembly 28 positioned within the holding tank 12 shown in broken lines. As may be seen, the water inlet conduit 30, being a rigid tube extending through the side wall of the tank 12, provides support for the assembly 28 above the tank bottom.
The assembly 28 includes a float-actuated control valve 32 for terminating the flow of pressurized water from the inlet 30 to the outlet 34 when the liquid level in the tank 12 reaches a predetermined height. In operation, the valve 32 is selectively activated by the motion of a cooperating float 36. The float 36 rises with the liquid level in the holding tank 12 allowing the control valve 32 to close at a point when the weight of the float 36, transmitted through chain 38, releases spring tension in the valve. Likewise, lowering of the liquid level causes the float 36 to exert a downward tension through the chain 38 and open the control valve 32 to permit water from a municipal source, or any other means for delivering water under a pressure of at least 40 PSI, to enter the tank 12. As will become apparent, then, a supply of liquid detergent can be automatically made anytime the level in the holding tank 12 falls below a determined level.
In fluid communication with the valve 32, and located downstream therefrom, is an eductor 40 having in its interior a venturi chamber 42, shown by broken lines in FIG. 3, for creating a partial vacuum and drawing in appropriate proportions of detergent constituents for mixing with water flowing from the valve 32 and through the venturi chamber 42. To this end, there is provided a manifold 44 having a plurality of inlets 46, 48, 50 and 52 in fluid communication with the dissolution tank 18 and the shipping containers 20 and 22 respectively. The remaining inlet 52 is shown as being closed by a plug 58; however, another shipping container may be connected thereto in accordance with need. As is shown most clearly in FIG. 3, the manifold 44 includes a single outlet 60 connected by way of a threaded nipple 62 to the central portion of the eductor 40 to communicate with the venturi chamber 42 therein. After entrainment in the water flow stream, the mixture of detergent constituents from the dissolution tank 18 and containers 20 and 22 flows from the venturi chamber 42 into a flexible, discharge tube 64 connected to the discharge end of the eductor 40 for conveyance into the holding tank interior through outlet 34.
In the form illustrated in FIG. 3, the manifold 44 is assembled from a number of well-known pipe fittings including ells 66, tees 68, and threaded nipples 70. It should be readily apparent that such elements are interchangeable among themselves and may be added to, or subtracted from, as the need arises. Thus, it is possible to rapidly construct a similar manifold with inlets greater than four in number, and perhaps as few as two, if the need arises. Of course, the manifold 44 could be integrally formed from suitable thermoplastic materials and the like; however, the ability to increase or decrease the number of inlets in accordance with need would be sacrificed.
The rate at which detergent constituents are drawn into the manifold 44 and venturi chamber 42 through the inlets 46, 48, 50 and 52 is controlled by metering disks or tips 72 and 74, each having an orifice 76 of suitable size for limited liquid flow therethrough. The size of the orifice 76 may be varied in accordance with the relative viscosities of the detergent constituents being delivered to the manifold 44 as well as the relative proportions of those constituents desired to be in the solution discharged from the venturi 42. It has been established, under conditions of ordinary use, that a liquid detergent constituent having a viscosity of 1.0 centipoise will be diluted with water at a ratio of approximately 5:1 through a single orifice 76 having a diameter of 0.128 inches. By employing an orifice 76 having a diameter of 0.010 inches, on the other hand, the same liquid will be diluted at a ratio approximately 240:1. Thus, by modifying orifice size, the relative proportions of detergent constituents may be varied considerably.
The metering tips 72 and 74 are separately mounted. The metering tip 72, regulating the flow from the dissolution tank 18, is threadably secured to the manifold inlet 46. Fastened to the portion of the metering tip 72 projecting outwardly from the inlet 6 is one end of a flexible conduit 78 in fluid communication with the dissolution tank 18. The metering tips 74 regulating flow from the shipping containers 20 and 22, on the other hand, are fitted within check valves 80 isolating the metering tips 74 from manifold backflow which can cause blockages in the several orifices 76. A conically-shaped and close-fitting bore 82 in the inlet end of each of the check valves 80 partially receives the correspondingly tapered portion of the metering tips 74. A series of laterally spaced annular rings 84 projecting outwardly from the tapered portion of each metering tip 74 helps secure such in frictional engagement with the check valve 80. The portion of the metering tip 74 extending from the check valve 80 permits such to be readily grasped and withdrawn from the bore 82 for replacement or cleaning as needed.
Aside from the tapered bore 82, each of the check valves 80 is of well-known configuration including a tapered inlet 86 and a similarly-shaped tapered outlet 88. The tapered form of the outlet 88 permits the ready fastening of one end of a length of flexible tubing 90 for joining the valve 80 to the manifold 44 for flow therebetween. A suitable, tapered fitting 92 is provided to join the second end of the tubing length 90 to the manifold itself. Similarly, the tapered inlets 86 permit the fastening of conduits 94 for receiving liquid detergent constituents from the shipping containers 20 and 22. Like the conduit 78 joining the dissolution tank 18 to the manifold 44, the conduits 94 in fluid communication with the shipping containers 20 and 22 include a length of flexible plastic tubing having a foot valve 96 secured at its inlet. Each foot valve 96 includes an internally positioned, fine-meshed screen and a check valve (both not shown). The screens vent any undissolved inorganic material or other macroscopic debris from entering the conduits 78 and 94 whereas the check valves eliminate the possibility of fluid siphoning through the conduits into the dissolution tank 18 and various shipping containers.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5, the dissolution tank 18 may be seen. Preferably, the tank 18 comprises a 55-gallon capacity drum or barrel 98 closed at its top by a removable and hinged lid 100. A circumferential ring 102, having an inwardly-directed annular shoulder 104, is secured to the top of the barrel 98 for supporting the lid 100 within the upper end thereof. Although provided with an overall cylindrical configuration, the tank 18 may be formed in any desired shape or capacity to better allow it to conform to the space requirements of a particular installation. However, as relatively dense solid material will be disposed upon the bottom of the tank for dissolution in water, it is desirable to maximize, when practicable, the area of contact between the solid and liquid components. Thus, by increasing the cross-sectional area or "footprint" of the tank 18, the rate of dissolution of solid material in water will be increased proportionately.
The barrel 98 and ring 102 may be fabricated from any material suitable for storing or transporting liquid chemical compositions. Nevertheless, molded polyethylene has been found to be satisfactory as it is resistant to both the action of the usual detergent components and the often severe impacts caused by mishandling during use. Polyethylene has the added benefit of being somewhat translucent when molded in thicknesses suitable for use in barrels. Thus, an observer may readily gauge the relative levels of solid and liquid materials positioned within such a barrel from a distance and without resort to removal of the lid 100.
The lid 100, fabricated from stainless steel sheet material, is adapted to substantially close the opening in the upper end of the barrel 98. The lid 100 includes a handled door 106, for access into the barrel proper, hingedly attached to a stationary portion 108 adapted to rest upon the annular shoulder 104 at all times during use. Threaded fasteners (not shown) may be provided for rigidly securing the stationary portion 108 to the circumferential ring 102. The lid 100 need not completely seal the opening in the barrel 98 so as to vent the admission of air and need not be provided with any particular shape. In short, it is believed that any configuration closely conforming to that of the opening in top of the barrel 98 will suffice for the purposes intended.
The stationary portion 108 supports a valve 110 having a cooperating float 112 for admitting pressurized water from a municipal source, indicated generally at 114, into the tank 18. When the fluid level 116 falls below a set elevation, the float 112 actuates the valve 110 to initiate the flow of water into the tank 18 so as to return the level to a slightly greater determined height. Fresh water entering the tank 18 dilutes the solution located therein and permits the further dissolution of solid detergent materials 118 at the tank bottom.
A manually-operated valve 115 of well-known construction is provided in the inlet 114 for isolating the dissolution tank 18 from the remainder of the apparatus. In a like manner, similar valves (not shown) may be provided to the holding tanks 12, 14 and 16 for operating such separately, or all concurrently, if desired.
An electrically-powered, submersible pump 120 is suspended beneath the stationary portion 108 by brackets 122. An electrical conduit 124 passes through a small hole 126 in the stationary portion 108 and offers a source of power to the pump 120 for driving an internal impeller or other fluid propelling means (not shown). A plug 127 at the free end of the conduit 124 permits attachment thereof to a well-known electrical wall outlet. The pump 120 includes a fluid inlet 128 at its bottom and a fluid outlet 130 positioned below the liquid level 116 of the tank 18 at all times during normal operation.
The fluid outlet 130 is connected to a bifurcated conduit indicated generally at 132. One conduit leg comprises a flexible hose 134 horizontally supported against the side walls of the barrel 98 by a pair of clasps 136. The discharge opening 138 of the hose 134 is horizontally directed and, thus, not pointed toward the granular solids 118 which may be disposed upon the tank bottom. A second conduit leg branches from the first and includes a flexible hose 140 having a sock 142 of finely woven material joined about its discharge opening 144 so as to act as a liquid filter. A band of hook and loop fastening material 146 snugly wrapped about both the sock mouth and hose 140 provides a means for securing, and readily removing, the sock 142 in the event that cleaning is required. For ready inspection and access, the hose 140 and sock 142 are also suspended by the clasps 136 above the first hose 134 proximate the liquid level 116.
The above-described, bifurcated pump discharge arrangement offers two principal benefits. Liquid within the tank 18 is efficiently stirred or mixed by fluid jetting from the discharge opening 138 without excessive turbulence at depth tending to suspend in solution the granular detergent components disposed upon the barrel bottom. Further, undesirable matter, such as solid or semi-solid sediments which sometimes form when using hard water, may be simultaneously trapped in the sock 142 and removed from the tank 18.
A series of conduits 78, extending through the stationary portion 108 and beneath the fluid level 116, are provided for transferring the solution to the holding tanks 12, 14 and 16. Each conduit 78 includes a length of flexible plastic tubing having a foot valve 96 secured at its inlet. Each foot valve 96 includes an internally positioned, fine-meshed screen and a check valve (both not shown). The screens vent any undissolved inorganic material or other macroscopic debris from entering the conduits 78 whereas the check valves eliminate the possibility of fluid siphoning through the conduits into the dissolution tank 18. In the event that fluid level 116 happens to rise toward the top of the tank 18, an overflow line 125 is provided for diverting the overflow to a remote drain or collecting vessel (not shown).
In the operation of the apparatus illustrated in the drawings to produce a liquid solution fully saturated with an inorganic detergent constituent, it is first necessary to add water to the dissolution tank 18 so that such is approximately 2/3 full. Next, enough inorganic detergent constituent 118, in powdered, granular, pelletized or lumped form, is poured into the tank 18 through the open door 106 to raise the fluid level 116 to a point within its operating range. This quantity of inorganic material has been found to be sufficient to supply a car wash for several days. The resulting mixture is allowed to stand until sufficient inorganic material has been dissolved to form a saturated solution--approximately 1 hour under standard conditions.
To assist in rapidly achieving the saturated condition, the submersible pump 120 is energized by engaging the plug 127 of the electrical conduit 124 with an electrical current source such as a wall outlet. Under the influence of the jet-like discharge from the discharge opening 138, the liquid within the tank 18 will begin to slowly rotate above the granular material 118 disposed on the tank bottom. Although some saltation of individual grains may occur at the interface between the granular material and the rotating liquid above, no bedload movement of the granular material has been seen to develop or is required to rapidly obtain the desired condition wherein the water can dissolve no more granular material without a change in temperature. Likewise, the suspension of granular solids within the solution by rapid agitation thereof has not been found to greatly increase the rate of dissolution of the granular material. As the granular material itself is highly porous, rapid dissolution rates have been achieved by imparting a low velocity liquid flow therethrough by means of the liquid rotation described above.
It should be noted that the saturated concentration of inorganic material in water is a constant when variables such as: temperature, water quality, and chemical composition of the inorganic material are held steady. The usual installation of the instant invention in an urban environment offers both building structures to shield the apparatus from temperature extremes and municipal water sources of even quality. Therefore, as these variable conditions are, in fact, largely unchanging in applications where the instant invention is employed, a liquid having a known concentration of inorganic detergent constituent can be continuously produced from a granular or powdered solid material mixed with water.
As the saturated solution flows from the dissolution tank 18 through the conduit 78 toward the low pressure area created by the venturi chamber 42, the float valve 110 allows fresh water to enter the tank 18. Any undissolved inorganic material 118 remains at the tank bottom and is slowly depleted as water is added to the tank 18 through the float valve 32. Under the influence of the submersible pump 120, the fresh water rapidly mixes with the saturated solution already located within the tank 18 so as to create a temporary undersaturated condition. The undersaturated liquid, in turn, dissolves additional inorganic material 118 until the point of saturation is reached. Because the maximum amount of powdered inorganic material added to the tank 18 never exceeds 1/3 to 1/2 of the volume thereof, there is always a sufficient volume of solution in the tank 18 ensure that the measured proportion of inorganic material dissolved in the water always remains at, or near, saturated levels.
When the fluid level in any one of the holding tanks 12, 14, or 16 drops below a set elevation, as happens through the withdrawal of the finished detergent through pump means (not shown) for distribution in a car wash environment, the inorganic and organic detergent constituents as well as other additives are drawn through associated transfer tubes 78 and 94 into the venturi chamber 42 as water from the float valve 32 is jetted therethrough. As the pressure drop, or drawdown, induced by the vacuum of the venturi chamber 42 across each of the metering tips 72 and 74 is substantially the same, the relative proportions of the detergent constituents drawn into the venturi chamber 42 are controlled by simply varying the sizes of orifices 76 in the metering tips 72 and 74. Sufficient mixing occurs in the manifold 44, venturi chamber 42 and discharge tube 64 so that no additional blending or stirring of the detergent constituents is necessary to combine such after discharge into the holding tanks 12, 14 or 16. By varying the type and proportion of detergent constituents combined with the saturated inorganic liquid, finished detergents tailored to a particular application can be mixed in each individual holding tank. For example, holding tank 12 could be utilized for presoaking solution, holding tank 14 for car wash detergent, and holding tank 16 for tire cleaning solution. The finished detergent solutions can be retained in the holding tanks 12, 14 and 16 for withdrawal on an "as needed" basis. Depending upon the application, such may be further diluted with water for high pressure washing or used "as is" for presoaking, washing, engine degreasing, tire cleaning, or other applications.
While the foregoing invention description is particularly directed toward a detergent mixing apparatus and method for use in a car washing environment, it should be apparent that the instant apparatus and method can be employed to combine predetermined proportions of liquid and/or powdered chemical compositions with a pressurized stream of any liquid. Thus, it is to be understood that the sent invention is not limited to the sole embodiment described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope and spirit of the following claims.

You cant take my soul
Not so smart.
But yet a work of art.
Yeagh right!
Your not aware of my fight.
To see me isn't to know me.
What in the hell do you think?You own me!
Im always here trying to comfernce your fears.
No matter what shit appears.
Whatever in my midst resides me.
Am I a frozen visulante.
To take my life.
But you sure as hell cant take the soul inside of me.

Here's an interesting one...Angelina Jolie reportedly negotiating with the press to require positive coverage for access. You know -- you'll sell a lot of magazines if I'm on the cover, so if you want that you'll have to make sure I'm covered in a positive manner if I'm going to give you access.
The media outlet in question? Time, Inc -- outlet for People magazine. Of course, it also includes Time magazine and CNN.
Wow. Jolie's small potatoes compared to Obama. You don't suppose a struggling mainstream media would assess the political field and throw its weight behind the presidential candidate most likely to sell magazines and news, do you?
It used to be that celebrities needed the press. Now the press needs the inner access to get them the scoop they need to sell their product. To get that they need to cut a deal...make sure the attention is fawning or you're off the plane.

Joni's Profile
"Would you like to buy a potholder for $.25?", I would ask our neighbors. This is how it all started many years ago when I was 7 or 8 years old. My mom told me that I made enough money to buy more of those loops at the 5&10 cent store to make more and more potholders. I think I finally got bored with it and went on to making doll clothes and eventually, when I was tall enough (!!), was allowed to use mom's vintage Singer treadle sewing machine. There were many crafts after that, but it wasn't until I was a new mom with my first son that my parents lent me money to purchase the complete stock of pompoms from a craft store that was going out of business...over 10,000 of them! While my son was sleeping, I made little pompom animals and was lucky enough to get them into a consignment shop. They sold very well but I just couldn't keep up with the demand of stocking the store and taking care of my family, so I packed those pompoms away…

This phot was on an SDB seedling. Two more seedlings bloomed, one with
stripes, making 3 out of 4 so far.
I also have a siberian species seedling with lot of turquoise on style
arm. The only reason it was kept. Not in bloom yet this year.
I haave no idea of what is involved in this. But can still guess. It
seems to be located on style arm and stigmatic lip. You also get the
very strange yellows on these structures. What ever is involved in
producing this colour can be working with a light dosage of
anthocyanin to produce this colour, which could very well be a
combination of pigments giving a visual effect.
Also of note, the bearded plants that produce this seem to all have
blue pollen. Could you check pollen on plants that show turquoise to
check if they have blue pollen? I get a number of plants with dark
colours, burgundys usually, with yellow style arms. They all have blue

That's what I see. Here it's always been on ABs, but Mary Lou has it
on TBs. This from a TB or median? The color has shown up in the
falls on two AB seedlings. Any idea what's at work to produce the
color? It didn't burn off on the falls.

That's the pattern I have described as "eyelashes". I found it to be

indicator that the color may show up elsewhere on the flower in future

Vermont F&W Board Considers Moose, Turkey Regulations
Two hunting regulations for moose and turkey received second votes at the May 26 Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board meeting in Waterbury. Each will be voted on one more time and then be considered by the Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules before becoming law.
- • The 2010 moose hunt regulation, which initially would have created an October 2-9 archery moose hunt, was voted down. The Board will consider the proposal for 2011.
- • A total of 765 either-sex moose hunting permits will be issued for a six-day hunt to be held October 16-21, 2010. A random draw lottery will be held in July.
- • The deadline to apply for a moose hunting permit in the lottery is June 1. Applications are available on the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department's website www.vtfishandwildlife.com and at license agents statewide.
The proposed fall turkey hunting season would include:
- • Hunting with bow and arrow only -- to be open statewide – Oct. 2-22, 2010;
- • Current seven-day shotgun or archery season would expand to nine days – Oct. 23-31, 2010 in WMUs B, D1, D2, G, H1, H2, I, J1, J2, L, M1, M2, O1, O2, P, Q WMUs B, D1, D2, and H1 would be new additions to this season.
- • Shotgun or archery season would be for 16 days – Oct. 23-Nov. 7, 2010 in WMUs F1, F2 ,K1, K2, N.
You can read the two proposed regulations in their entirety on the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department's website www.vtfishandwildlife.com. Under "About Us," click on Fish and Wildlife Board.

Artist For Novel Cover
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 24
Project Description
NOTE: Follow all guidelines or risk being disqualified instantaneously. So take the effort to read if you want me to trust you with my money.
Hello! I have a series of novels with no art whatsoever to call its own, and this is a series that's going all out in expenses as far as self-publishing goes, staring with the art. I need someone(s) who is well versed with high quality stylized semi-realistic art (See: Final Fantasy XIII ). I attached a file with the sort of style I'm going for. It doesn't have to be exactly like that of course, but I do want my characters to have that realistic anime look.
Commission Details:
- 8 Characters
-1 Background that they'll all be in
-Image large enough to fill my monitor screen (Wallpaper sized. I have a 23 inch screen)
-I get all the material files you used to make the cover. (Photoshop, flash, ect)
-You are simply not allowed to use, send, give, or show the image publicly until the book is released
-Unless your price is willing to go under the budget range, what you get now is all you'll get unless you're hired again.
Bidding Rules:
-Do not - do *NOT* send me a message/PMB a second time. Never send me two messages unless I specifically ask you to. If I don't message you back after a few days, assume I didn't like the price tag/quality combination.
-Any attachment you give me *must* show a direct example of the quality I can be expecting for the price I'm offering. If you are hired, I expect the same quality of work you showed me - or I will go dispute the issue for my money back.
-The budget is for all eight characters. Not for each character.
-I will pick the bidder who works faster than others, cheaper than others, and offer similar if not better quality than their fellow bidders. I will not pay any bidder who charges more than someone else when the quality of their work are hardly worlds apart.

Firebug currently uses this code and returns false, which crashes debug builds. I don't really know what the original goal of the assert was, but from what I can tell it can be removed.

There is substantial evidence that opioid analgesic use impairs immune system responses and there has been a long-standing concern that these effects increase the risk of serious, potentially life-threatening infections. In vivo studies in animal models and human subjects have demonstrated that opioids affect surrogate markers of immune functions that are crucial for prevention of serious infections, such as white cell migration and phagocytosis. Although studies have demonstrated significant dose-dependent suppression of immunological functions in animal models and humans as well as a dose-dependent increase in the risk of serious infections in animal models, the clinical relevance of these findings in humans remains unclear. These concerns are particularly relevant for older adults, who are commonly affected by pain and are at increased risk for infections. A number of opioid analgesics are currently available, but not all have the same immunosuppressive properties. Studies in animal models suggest that, taking the chemical structure of morphine as reference, opioids with hydroxyl groups at both C3 and C6 (e.g. morphine), have the strongest immunosuppressive effects, whereas modification at C3 alone (e.g. codeine) reduces immunosuppression, and substitution of a carbonyl group at C6 (e.g. hydromorphone) eliminates the immunosuppressive effects. Identifying those opioids that are the least likely to increase the risk of serious infections will be crucial to inform the selection of analgesics for vulnerable older adults. Furthermore, the immunosuppressive effects of opioids are dose-dependent and for several opioids, in vivo data suggest that concurrent use of opioids and other commonly used medications that inhibit opioid metabolism could markedly increase the serum concentration of opioids. We propose to conduct a series of studies of older adults with the following specific aims: 1) Test the hypothesis that the risk of serious infections in new users of codeine (which is metabolized to morphine) is greater than in new users of other opioids with comparable analgesic properties;2) Test the hypothesis that the risk of serious infections in new users of morphine is greater than in new users of other opioids with comparable analgesic properties;and, 3) Test the hypothesis that concurrent use of oxycodone or methadone and strong inhibitors of their metabolism increases the risk of serious infections relative to such use without metabolic inhibitors. The proposed studies will use a retrospective cohort study design and data from Tennessee Medicaid, to compare the incidence of serious infections associated with the use of selected opioids while controlling for the effect of relevant baseline and time-varying covariates. Our research team has the combination of experience and expertise needed to successfully complete the proposed projects. The proposed studies are designed to have a high impact on the field of pain therapeutics, advance our understanding of the effects of opioid analgesics on the risk of serious infections and inform the clinical care of older adults.
Long-standing concerns that opioids increase the risk of infections are particularly relevant for older adults, who are commonly affected by pain and are at increased risk for infections. Identifying those opioids with the lowest risk of increasing infections is crucial to informing the selection of analgesics for older adults. Given the high prevalence of opioid use in older adults, determining and quantifying these risks is of great public health interest.

Larry Fitzgerald, Gov. Jan Brewer share plane home from Super Bowl in New Orleans
Flying on a private jet must be enjoyable, but it has to be more fun with friends.
Or a governor.
Flying back to AZ with @mbrewer67, @govbrewer, @edwardjolms and Jason Hope. Wheels up twitter.com/LarryFitzgeral…
— Larry Fitzgerald (@LarryFitzgerald) February 4, 2013
Brewer's spokesman says she traveled at the invitation of philanthropist and
businessman Jason Hope. Spokesman Matthew Benson says she paid for her own
ticket to the game and will report the value of the flight on her next
disclosure form if its value exceeded $500.
Brewer's son Michael traveled with her and they were also joined on the plane
by actor Edward James Olmos.
Who knows? Maybe Brewer has some tips for Fitz ahead of next season.

Color has been brighter here than I had expected after the summer's
drought. The dogwoods showed color by mid-August, but have stayed
pretty bright. I'm encouraged to see that they have set many buds this
year - the bloom last spring was the sparsest I can remember, but I do
know that heavy bloom-set sometimes reflects a stressed season.
Colors in general have been more yellow than red, but I'm sure that is
a result of the drought. What I don't understand is why some have lost
their leaves already, and some are still pretty full.
The Kousa dogwood is especially rich and bright right now - hasn't
lost anything yet.
My gingko has been spectularly golden this season - brighter than we
can remember. Then two nights ago we had a frost. We watched
yesterday morning as the gingko shed it's leaves - by 9:30 AM it was
totally bare and there was a brilliant circle of golden leaves on the
It always sheds all its leaves at the first frost.
One thing that has been especially bright this year is the Euonymus
alatus - winged euonymus - that was heavily planted as shrubs some
years ago and has become an invasive alien in the woods. Some years
the plants in the woods don't color up in the fall, but this year they are
bright. It pretty much depends on sun, and the ones in the woods don't
get as much, but this drought year the woods are bright with it.

Aaah, yes. October's bright blue weather. Was much the same here until
Hallowe'en when it started to rain. Still raining off and on, but not
at the moment. We were having a gloriously colorful autumn until the
rains came--now it's mostly in the gutter and on the lawn. Still
colorful, but lacking in much appeal.
