Therefore regular cleaning should be good habit to get into for all such businesses. If the dumpster stays there and just gets emptied on regular intervals, it is usually up to the renter of the dumpster to keep them somewhat clean.
It can be a health risk to your employees, your customers and those passing by to not to keep them clean. A good hot water/degreasing high pressure washing will get them looking like when they were first delivered, or maybe even better! Exterior dumpster pads and the dumpsters that are maintained on a regular basis with a pressure washing cleaning, degreasing and deodorizing will help to keep the area free from germs and bacteria, help to deter flies and rats, help to prevent foul odors from developing, remove any grease and oil spills and keep that area appearance looking professional.
If your dumpsters are in need of rust removal as well as a good cleaning, then we have various mobile media blasting methods to remove the rust and we can even re-paint the dumpster should you need us to do that for your too.
Additionally, should the dumpster need repairs like welding, hinge replacement and the like, we can do that too! Other than actually dumping the dumpsters for you, we are your full service Dumpster Specialists.
The below images are examples of our work.
When planning your routine property maintenance, do not forget to schedule in regular dumpster and dumpster pad cleanings!

Does this theory of yours also explain the behavior of the boy who
stopped the shooter? If your all encompassing theory explains both the
male shooter and the male hero who, after taking a bullet to the chest,
turned to disarm the shooter, what do you suppose differentiates the
former male from the latter?
And does your theory really rest on the requirement that all the school
shootings are perpetrated by males? If so, the case of Jillian Robbins
immediately discounts the entire theory.

Eminem gets 10 Grammy nominations
Eminem leads the 2011 Grammy nominations, with nods in 10 categories.
The 'Not Afraid' rapper is in the running for some of the most prestigious prizes at the annual ceremony, including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record Of The Year.
Singer-and-songwriter Bruno Mars got the second most nominations when they were announced last night (01.12.10) with seven, while Lady Gaga, rapper Jay-Z and country act Lady Antebellum all scored six.
Bruno - who, among his nominations, is up for Best Male Pop Vocal for his hit 'Just the Way You Are' - said: "It's just been a great year, incredible, incredible year, and I can't believe this is happening to me.
"We've worked so hard trying to make a living doing music and the fact that we're here right now is incredible, incredible."
Another track co-written by Bruno - Cee Lo Green's 'F**k You' - was nominated for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year, and Cee Lo said he never realised the track, which was edited to 'Forget You' for the radio, would be such a hit.
He said: "It wasn't meant to be a radio song. It was meant to be something with flair and first impression and it really took on a life of its own, and I had no idea it would become what it is today."
In the Best Newcomer category, Justin Bieber found himself nominated alongside his fellow Canadian, rapper Drake.
He told LL Cool J - who hosted the nominations show at Club Nokia in Los Angeles: "It feels amazing - I can't believe I'm in this position! I don't know what to say!"

Nextant Aerospace to Display the 400XT at the Dubai Airshow
Dépèche transmise le 11 novembre 2011 par Business Wire
CLEVELAND and DUBAI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nextant Aerospace, maker of the 400XT, the world's first completely remanufactured business jet, today announced that it will be displaying the 400XT at the biennial Dubai Airshow, one of the aviation industry's leading global showcases. The 12th edition of the show will be held November 13-17, 2011, at the Dubai Airport Expo. The 400XT may be seen on display at the Dubai Air Show's Static Park.
"We are proud to exhibit the new Nextant 400XT at the Dubai Airshow, one of the world's premier aviation showcases"
This is the 400XT's first appearance at the Dubai Airshow, which received full Federal Aviation Administration certification this year after a three-year development and flight testing process. The 400XT, which saw its first deliveries last month, has a range of 3,713 km (2,005 nautical miles) with four passengers and NBAA IFR Reserves, enabling flights originating in the Middle East to reach major destinations in Europe, Russia and Asia.
"We are proud to exhibit the new Nextant 400XT at the Dubai Airshow, one of the world's premier aviation showcases," said Jay Heublein, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Nextant Aerospace. "The 400XT, with its exceptional range, good speed and superior accommodations, is a perfect fit for the Middle Eastern market, providing luxurious travel at about half the cost of competing new models. The 400XT's combination of performance, comfort and value will make it among the most desirable aircraft in this market."
The Nextant 400XT on display at the Dubai Airshow will contain an optional new interior configuration designed to maximize the available space in the cabin. It includes a 1.5 meter (60-inch) divan with four-place club seating that offers an additional 0.3 meter (one foot) of leg room compared to the standard design. The 400XT is the only aircraft in the light-jet category to offer such a layout.
Nextant also recently announced its first international service center at Beechcraft Augsburg, in Germany, accessible from many Middle Eastern departure points. The new facility brings to 10 the 400XT's service centers globally.
The 400XT process employs a remanufactured airframe from the Beechjet 400A/XP aircraft, enhanced with new, state-of-the-art technology including the Williams FJ44-3AP turbofan engine, the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21™ integrated avionics suite, advanced electronics and completely rebuilt interiors. The remanufacturing process takes all life-limited components to zero-time status, either through replacement or complete overhaul, which effectively makes the 400XT a new plane in all material aspects even before the addition of advanced technology. The 400XT is considered to be a new type in Aircraft Bluebook. Further options include additional avionics features and cabin entertainment including high speed wireless internet.
Other performance improvements include a cruising speed of 740 km per hour (460 miles per hour); fuel efficiency improvements of 25-30 percent, depending on the length of the flight segment and noise compliance that exceeds Stage IV requirements. A number of orders have been received, including a 40-plane order from Flight Options LLC, the second-largest company in the private jet travel business.
About Nextant Aerospace
Nextant Aerospace was founded in 2007 for the primary purpose of developing an aircraft modernization program. The company is credited with being the first to introduce the concept of aircraft remanufacturing to the business jet market. The Nextant 400XT is a remanufactured Beechjet 400A/XP equipped with the Williams FJ44-3AP engines and Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21™ integrated avionics suite. The new aircraft also benefits from significant aerodynamic enhancements including newly designed nacelles, pylons and an improved engine mounting configuration. The 400XT is delivered as a new aircraft with a two-year, tip-to-tail warranty. Nextant's design and manufacturing facility is located in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Cuyahoga County Airport.

IPL 9 sampled by 80 mn viewers on Hotstar to date
MUMBAI: The ninth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) has so far notched 80 million viewers on Star India's video streaming platform Hotstar.
According to Star, the T20 league is on course to cross the 100-million mark in this year's edition.
The broadcaster has claimed that the tournament's reach on Hotstar has doubled over the last year at the same stage and that the total watch time is up 275% from 2014, with 95% of all consumption coming from the top 10 cities.
Hotstar CEO Ajit Mohan said, "We are delighted at the growth of IPL viewership on Hotstar over the last two tournaments. Hotstar has become the primary screen for the IPL for the urban affluent and the young cricket fans. With more than double the reach of last year, we are well set to exceed the 100-million target we had set for ourselves for this year."
Hotstar has invested heavily in creating a world-class streaming experience. Users have access to live scores and match data integrated into the experience. The persistent efforts to reinvent consistently and stay fresh to maintain engagement levels among the 18–24-year-olds have been driving the popularity of the platform.
Hotstar has made the IPL 2016 an even more enjoyable experience for its viewers with a complete content package including pre- and post-show programming with the best anchors and commentators in the country. Two wraparound shows—'Cricket Live' and 'One Tip One Hand', along with 'The Boundary Riders' (a video blog)—have been popular programming additions, as well as Hotstar's presence at the IPL Fan Park.
'Cricket Live'
'Cricket Live' is a one-hour exclusive show hosted by Jatin Sapru featuring the expert panel of David Hussey, Bret Lee, Md Kaif, Aakash Chopra, Deep Das Gupta and Shoaib Akthar. The show is a detailed analysis of the games played in the Vivo IPL 2016 and focuses purely on the cricket part of the game and not entertainment. It also brings alive all the inside scoops for all the franchises, covering their strategy, behind-the-scenes action and what's happening in the camp, including player secrets and more.
'One Tip One Hand'
'One Tip One Hand', hosted by Cyrus Sahukar and Varun Thakur, is a weekly analysis of the IPL 2016 games that features on Hotstar every Saturday. The show analyses the game with a bit of banter and humour along with a star-studded line-up of experts.
'The Boundary Riders'
Three vloggers scour the length and breadth of the nation in search of stories that introduce fans to the unseen world around the Vivo IPL 2016 calendar and match cities. This video log (vlog) serves as a platform for the vloggers to share their stories. As a collective of stories, it demonstrates how the Vivo IPL 2016 touches and affects the lives of millions of Indians every year in a positive and uplifting way. The vloggers also engage the players in fun activities together with pop quiz where the cricketer questions the vlogger, and sometimes also lets the vlogger experience a batting or bowling with the player and much more.

I worked with an advisor at TShirt Subway and he was AMAZING!! Very responsive and resolved an issue with my order. I've place 3 orders for approx. 47 shirts (over $1300 US) and I am a very happy customer. Shipping is always super fast and the shipping costs are very reasonable for US delivery. People always compliment me on them and ask where I got them. There prices have increased over the years but the quality remains good. I am a loyal TShirt Subway customer for life!!

Ask Gimboland: web hosting recommendations?
I want to move gimbo.org.uk to a different web hosting provider. Got any recommendations? (Particularly good UK ones?)
From day one, I've been with webquarry; I've been happy until recently. Now I'm unhappy because their MySQL server goes offline for 15 minutes every day for backup, taking Gimboland with it (I didn't notice until I switched to WordPress, because my pages used to be static), and because they've just disabled catchall email accounts (for, eg, firstname.lastname@example.com) without telling us. I understand the rationale for disabling these, but having to work out ourselves that it happened has been stressful and costly, both in time and money (business lost).
I need to host 4 domains (gimbo.org.uk, gimbo.co.uk, andys-trek.co.uk, basheerakhan.com – with gimbo.co.uk just aliasing gimbo.org.uk); I need email and webspace on each of these; I need ssh access; I need MySQL databases; I need all the obvious things you'd expect, basically. I need it to not go offline for 15 minutes every day! I'd like it to be in the UK so latency on ssh sessions is reduced. ;-) Oh yeah, and I don't want to pay too much…
I'm paying about $13 (about £7) per month right now, but only getting 1GB of disk space, 48GB of bandwidth per month (the bandwidth's OK, but that disk space is tight.
Bash pointed me at Media Temple, whose grid service hosting looks excellent and good value at $20 pcm. 100GB of storage, never offline, up to 100 domains, 1000 emails, etc. – it does look good. If they were in the UK I'd go for it immediately. I do, however, have a slight hankering to host in the UK, if only for reduced latency during ssh sessions, and MediaTemple, like WebQuarry, look to be in California. :-)
So: who's your web daddy?

Media Temple is good, our site might help, try http://www.webhostingunleashed.com , good tools to compare hosts and read user reviews of hosts.
You can use this tool to sort through and compare all the hosts in our database too,
thanks, Ben

I would suggest kualo.co.uk, been with them for over 4 years and never had any issues. Their support is fantastic, and downtime has been minimal.
May 24th, 2007 | 4:06 pm
Why not take advantage of that phat JANET pipe running straight into your office? Can't imagine latency would be a problem (especially when SSHing from your desk ;))
May 25th, 2007 | 9:51 pm
The main reason I jumped on the Media Temple band wagon was its good reputation among the A-list bloggers such as Shaun Inman (www.shauninman.com) and Michael Heilemann (www.binarybonsai.com). However, after they introduced the much hyped Grid-server (or cluster as normal people call it), things seems to be going in the wrong direction.

Monday Headlines: Lock buying Cake, Negreanu crushed and more
Well, it was quite a weekend in the world of poker. More specifically it was quite a Sunday in the world of online poker, as Daniel Negreanu suffered a resounding loss in the first Limit Holdem Heads-Up Challenge on PokerStars, and later in the day rumors began swirling that Lock Poker was going to purchase the entire Cake Poker Network.
Making the news even harder to follow is the fact that the 2+2 poker forums are still down at this point in time. So with that and more on the plate, here is a look at all of the stories from the past weekend in poker.
Daniel Negreanu clobbered by "rUaBot" in $75,000 Heads-Up Limit Holdem Challenge
In the first Heads-up LIMIT Holdem challenge match on the site Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu was at the mercy of anonymous German Heads-up Limit Holdem specialist "rUaBot". The German managed to take Daniel's $75,000 in a matter of just 937 hands, leading to the following chat conversation at the end of the match:
KidPoker: gg
rUaBot: gg
rUaBot: sorry for the sick run
KidPoker: its ok just glad its over!
KidPoker: have never in my life played 2 tables HU LH and I never will again
rUaBot: big thanks for playing here
rUaBot: oh
KidPoker: good night
Lock Poker leaving Merge and purchasing the Cake Poker Network
The biggest news of the weekend was that Lock Poker would be leaving the Merge Gaming Network in June, and that the site has purchased the Cake Poker Network with the intention of rebranding the network, which will now be called the Revolution Gaming Network.
There is a lot to this story, and all the details are still somewhat unknown at this point, but here is a complete write-up of what we know so far: Lock Poker to buy Cake Poker Network relaunching as Revolution Gaming
2+2 Poker Forum still down
After being hacked at the end of April the 2+2 poker forum is still down at this point, and there is really no end in sight. So far the site has posted a handful of updates, but none have been very specific or offered anything more than a general timetable to when different parts of the site will be back online.
Sam Trickett leaving Titan Poker
One of the top players in poker will apparently be a free agent heading into the 2012 WSOP, as UK poker pro Sam Trickett announced that he was ending his year-long affiliation with Titan Poker this past week.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a venting closure assembly for a containing structure, such as a milk tank.
2. Backoround Art
In the dairy industry, milk is commonly transported from dairy farms to a central processing center by means of tank trucks and trailers. The milk-containing tank itself is generally made of stainless steel and is commonly of a double-walled construction with insulation between the inner and outer stainless steel walls, so that the contained milk can be kept at an adequately low temperature while being transported.
Because of the sanitation requirements of the dairy industry, the interior of the milk tank must be thoroughly washed at regular intervals. Also, it is necessary to provide the tank with an access opening, commonly called a "manhole", to permit an inspector to actually enter the interior of the tank. Obviously, while milk is being transported, this access opening must be properly covered both to prevent milk from being spilled out of the opening, and also to prevent outside contaiminants from being mixed with the milk. There is a further requirement that the interior of the tank be vented to the outside atmosphere, since with an airtight tank even small temperature variations in the milk would cause undersired pressure differentials between the area inside the tank and the surrounding atmosphere.
A quite common means of providing the venting in a milk tank is to provide a venting member in an interior metal cover which normally closes the access opening of the tank. This venting member generally comprises a cylindrical tube mounted to the center of the cover and extending downwardly toward the interior of the tank. The interior of the tube is provided with a set of vertically spaced, staggered baffles which overlap sufficiently to define a circuitous passageway from the interior to the exterior of the tank. An annular gasket member made of a flexible material is usually placed between the perimeter portion of the cover and the support ring which defines the tank access opening, to provide a perimeter seal. Also, an exterior dust cover is positioned over the interior cover. The sanitation standards of the dairy industry require that all components which possibly come into contact with the milk be thoroughly cleaned at regular intervals.
While the prior art disclosure assembly described above has been able to perform the closing and venting functions for a milk tank in a manner to meet the standards of the dairy industry, there was a continuing need for improvement. Accordingly, there was conceived another venting closure arrangement for a milk tank, and various embodiments of this are disclosed in U.S. Pat, 4,081,107, issued March 28, 1978, and U.S. Pat. No. 4,127,216,issued Nov. 28, 1978. In general, there is described in those patents a closure assembly where there is a venting closure member having perimeter flange members which fit against a support ring of the milk tank to form a circumferential seal and one or more circumferential venting channels. There is an outer cover having a vent opening which fits over the closure member and engages the peripheral portion thereof to form the circumferential seal against the support ring. The venting channel or channels connect to circumferentially spaced openings in the flanges to provide venting from inside the tank to the area outside the tank, while preventing both spilling of the milk and contamination from outside sources.
While the assembly described in the immediately preceeding paragraph is believed to be a substantial improvement over the earlier closure assembly described above, and while this improved assembly in general has been found to function quite well in accomplishing its intended functions, it has been found that under certain circumstances, it is possible for liquid in the containing chamber to pass out through the circumferential venting channel.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved venting closure assembly for a milk tank which performs the closure function yet more reliably, while still permitting venting of the containing structure. It is yet another object to provide such a venting closure member which is able to meet the standards of sanitation and other requirements of the dairy industry.
The present invention comprises a closure assembly for a containing structure, such as a milk tank, and also a closure member particularly adapted for use in such a closure assembly. The containing structure with which the closure assembly is to be used defines a containing chamber for a liquid, and has an opening, such as a manhole, defined by a ring structure.
The assembly comprises an outside cover member having an outer perimeter portion adapted to be positioned adjacent said ring structure. The cover member has a main inner portion extending across the perimeter portion, and the inner portion has a first vent opening leading to ambient atmosphere.
There is an inside venting closure member adapted to be positioned in an operating location adjacent the cover. The closure member has an inner portion that is located below the first vent opening, and a perimeter portion surrounding the inner portion.
The closure member is characterized in that it has a relaxed position where in its operating location and without external forces applied thereto, the inner portion is spaced downwardly from the first vent opening to permit air flow through the first vent opening. The closure member further has an upwardly deflected position where, with an upper surge force exerted upon said closure member, the inner portion of the closure member is positioned against the first vent opening in closing relationship therewith.
The closure member is further characterized in that in its operating location, the closure member provides a second vent opening means spaced from the first vent opening and leading to said containing chamber to permit air flow to and from said containing chamber to an area between said cover member and said closure member.
Thus, with the venting closure member in its operating location and in its relaxed position, the containing chamber can be vented to ambient atmosphere. However, with a surge force exerted against the closure member, the closure member moves to its upwardly deflected closure position to block possible flow of liquid outwardly through said first vent opening.
Desirably, the inner portion of the closure member is contoured so that at least a portion of the upper surface thereof slopes downwardly toward said second vent opening. Thus, liquid which may pass up through said second vent opening would flow by gravity back through said second vent opening.
In the preferred configuration, the closure member has a peripheral flange portion which, with the closure member in its operating location, is positioned between the outer perimeter portion of the cover member and the ring structure so as to provide a seal between the cover and the ring structure.
The closure member, in the preferred configuration, has a passageway defining member defining a passageway that extends from said second vent opening to a third vent opening which, with the closure member in its operating location, communicates with the containing chamber. Preferably, the passageway defining member is positioned adjacent the perimeter portion of the closure member and extends at least partly along a circumferential portion of said closure member. In the preferred form, the passageway defining member extends entirely around the circumference of the closure member.
In the preferred configuration, the passageway defining member is a skirt member which extends downwardly and outwardly from the perimeter portion of the closure member. The skirt member has a lower edge portion which, with the closure member in its installed position, fits against the ring structure to define with the ring structure said passageway.
Desirably, the third vent opening is located at a position spaced circumferentially from the second vent opening means. Preferably, the third vent opening is located diametrically opposite said second vent opening means.
In one configuration, the cover member has at the location of the first vent opening a downwardly extending circumferential flange which comes into engagement with the closure member when the closure member is in its upwardly deflected position.
Other features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description.
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of the venting closure assembly of the present invention, taken from a location above and to one side thereof;
FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of the assembly of FIG. 2, showing in full lines the assembly in its closed position, and in broken lines the outer vent cover open, and the main outside cover open;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3--3 of FIG. 1, with the lefthand portion of FIG. 3 illustrating an inner closure member of the present invention in its relaxed position, and with the right hand portion of FIG. 3 showing the closure member in its upwardly deflected position where it closes the vent opening of the outside cover; and
FIG. 4 shows a modified arrangement of the outside cover member illustrated in FIGS. 1-3.
The present invention is particularly adapted to meet the sanitation requirements and other requirements for closing the manhole opening of a milk tank, and thus the present invention will be described in that particular environment. However, it is to be understood that within the broader scope of the present invention, there could be application beyond the use in the dairy industry where, for example, similar problems exist, such as those described hereinafter.
The closure assembly 10 of the present invention is mounted to a platform 12 that is positioned on the top of a milk tank, a portion of which is shown at 13, and which defines a milk containing chamber 13a. This assembly 10 comprises an outside cover 14, made of stainless steel or the like, and a venting closure member 16 made of a moderately flexible material, such as rubber or a molded plastic having the general characteristics of a rubber-like material.
The manhole opening which is to be closed is generally designated 18, and it is defined by a perimeter ring structure 20 extending upwardly from the platform 12 and having the general configuration of a shallow upstanding cylinder. This ring structure 20 has an upper perimeter edge 22 which is moderately rounded, and an inwardly facing circumferential side surface 24.
The outside cover 14 comprises a main inner plate portion 26 which extends across a major portion of the opening 18, and a perimeter portion 28. At the center of the plate portion 26, there is a first outside venting structure 30, made as an upstanding cylindrical flange 32 formed with a plurality of through openings 34. Surrounding the cylindrical flange 32 is a porous filter material 36 which can be made of a porous woven material, an open cell plastic foam, or other material. There is a vent cover or lid 38 that is hinge mounted at 40 to the main plate portion 26 of the cover 14. This cover 38 is held in its down position by means of a flexible strap 42 bolted at 44 to the cover 14 and having a free end 46 formed with an opening to receive a closure finger 48 upstanding from the cover 38 at a location spaced from the hinge 40. The vent cover 38 is formed with an arcuate cutout or opening 50 to permit the flow of air through the venting member 30.
The main cover 14 is hinge mounted at 52 to an upstanding mounting member 54 fixedly attached to the platform 12. The level of the hinge 52 is moderately above the level of the upper edge 22 of the ring structure 20.
The perimeter portion 28 of the main outside cover 14 is made with a moderately down-turned lip 56 which extends radially just beyond the upper edge 22 of the ring structure 20. Also, the cover 14 has a handle 58 by which the cover 14 can be moved to its upper opened position, as shown in the broken lines of FIG. 2.
The aforementioned venting closure member 16 has a main inner plate portion 60, and a perimeter portion 62. The perimeter portion 62 comprises a laterally extending perimeter flange 64 which can be made as a circumferential radially outward extension of the main plate member 60. When the closure member 16 is in its operating location (as shown in FIG. 3), the perimeter flange 64 extends a short distance beyond the upper edge 22 of the ring structure 20. Thus, with the outer cover 14 in its closed position, the perimeter portion 28 of the outer cover 14 presses against the flange 64 of the closure member 60 to form a peripheral seal around the edge 22 of the ring structure 20. The perimeter flange 64 has an upstanding annular lip or bead 66 positioned at the location of the upper edge 22 of the ring structure 20 to improve the sealing function of the perimeter flange 64.
The perimeter portion 62 also comprises a downwardly and outwardly extending, moderately flexible skirt 66, having a generally frusto-conical configuration. The upper edge 68 of the skirt 66 connects to the perimeter portion of the main plate portion 60, and is spaced radially inwardly from the location of the edge 22 of the ring structure 20 a moderate distance. The lower edge 70 of the skirt 66 has a radially outwardly extending contact surface 72 that fits against a lower portion of the inner surface 24. Thus, with the closure member 16 in its installed or operating position, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the skirt 66 forms with the ring structure 20 and with the radially inward portion of the flange 64 a circumferential venting passageway 74.
The flange 64 is formed with a through opening 76 at a location just radially outward of the skirt upper edge 68 and radially inward of the edge 22 of the ring structure 20. At a location diametrically opposite the location of the vent opening 76, there is a second vent opening 78 formed as a cutout or recess in the lower edge portion 70 of the skirt 66. Thus, the opening 78 is defined on one side by the adjacent surface 24 of the ring structure 20 and the portion of the skirt 66 at the location of the cutout.
Thus, it can be seen that the containing chamber 13 vents to ambient atmosphere through the opening 78, through the circumferential passageway 74, through the second vent opening 76, thence through a flow area 80 positioned between the main cover portion 26 and the main plate portion 60 of the closure member 16, and thence through the cover vent structure 30. Further, the closure member 16 is formed so that in its unstressed or relaxed position (i.e. its position when no external forces are applied thereto, except for the force of gravity), the outer portion 60a of the main plate portion 60 has outwardly of the location of the cover vent 30 a very slight upward and radially inward slope. The central portion 60b of the main plate portion 60 of the closure member 16 is positioned substantially horizontal.
With the closure member 16 in its installed or operating position, as shown in FIG. 3, the central portion 60b of the plate member 60 of the closure member 16 is positioned a moderate distance below the lower edge of the venting cylinder 32 of the outside vent structure 30. The perimeter flange 56 of the closure member 16 is pressed with a moderate force by the perimeter portion 28 of the cover member 14 downwardly against the upper edge 22 of the ring structure 20 so as to form a peripheral seal. Thus, the only open path of communication is the aforementioned venting path, comprising the opening 28, the vent passageway 74, the opening 76, the flow area 80, and the holes 34 in the vent member 32.
To describe the operation of the present invention, the cover 14 generally remains attached by the hinge mounting 52 at all times to the mounting structure 54 that is in turn mounted to the plate 12. On the other hand, the closure member 16 can easily be removed from the ring structure 16 for periodic washing and be replaced in its installed position as shown in FIG. 3. The outer cover 14 can be provided with a suitable clamping device to hold it securely in its closed position of FIG. 3. For convenience of illustration, such a clamping device is not shown herein, but it is or may be of conventional design.
With the closure member 16 installed as shown in FIG. 3, and with the outside cover 14 closed, the main plate member 60 will normally be in its relaxed position, as shown in the lefthand side of FIG. 3, so that the containing chamber 13 vents to the outside, as described above. Thus, if there is a change of temperature in the containing structure, so that air in the chamber 13 either expands or contracts, the containing structure 13a will not be stressed, because of the pressure equalization provided by the venting path, as described above. Further, with the arrangement of the outer venting structure 30, contaminents from outside will be prevented from passing through the filter material 36 and through the wall or flange 32.
With the containing structure 13 being a milk tank which is being moved by a vehicle along a highway, as the vehicle accelerates, and especially as the truck rapidly decelerates (such as during a strong application of the vehicle's brakes), the milk in the tank will tend to surge toward one end of the tank, so as to apply liquid pressure against a major portion of the upper surface of the tank. When the upward surge of liquid reaches the plate member 60, it pushes the central plate portion 60b of the closure member 16 upwardly against the lower edge of the cylindrical vent wall 32, closing off the venting structure 30 from communication with the tank interior 13a. A portion of the liquid or milk that surges may pass up the inner vent opening 78 and begin to flow through the venting passageway 74. Even if the surge is of sufficient duration and strength so that liquid passes through the vent passageway 74 and out vent passageway 76, the milk or other liquid is blocked from passing into the venting structure 30 by reason of the center plate portion 60b closing off the vent structure 30. When the surge subsides, the milk or other liquid flows by gravity flow back outwardly through the vent opening 78.
Further, with the skirt 66 being arranged in an outwardly and downwardly depending pattern, the surge of milk tends to force the skirt 66 in an upward and radially outward direction so as to improve the seal function of the skirt 66 against the ring structure 20.
Thus, it can be appreciated that the closure member 16 serves a number of functions. First, it functions as a gasket or seal to close the peripheral area at the location of the ring upper edge 20 and the peripheral portion 28 of the outer cover 14. Second, the closure member 16 performs a general closure function in that it provides an inner closure or cover in addition to the outer cover 14. Third, the closure member 16 provides a venting passageway, in the form of the opening 78, passageway 74, opening 76, flow area 80, and venting member 30. Fourth, the closure member 16 provides a temporary total closure of the vent path in a surge condition, by reason of the middle plate portion 60b moving upwardly by reason of the force of the surge to close off the vent structure 30. Fifth, in the event that any milk or other liquid does flow upwardly, possibly into the vent passageway 74 or even upwardly through the vent opening 76, there is a path for flow back into the containing chamber 30.
The closure member 16 can be formed as one integral molded part. Further, it can be readily appreciated that the closure member 16 can easily be removed for washing.
A modified version of the closure assembly is illustrated in FIG. 3. For convenience of illustration, only one-half of the modified closure member 10a is illustrated in FIG. 4. Also, components which are substantially the same as in the first embodiment of FIGS. 1-3 will be given like numerical designations with a prime (') designation distinguishing those of the second embodiment. Thus, there is a portion or flange 64', a skirt 66', and a vent opening 76'.
The cylindrical venting wall 32' is formed with a downwardly extending annular lip or flange 90, which is positioned a moderate distance above the center plate portion 60b' of the closure member 16'. Thus, when there is a surge of liquid which forces the center plate portion 60b' upwardly, this plate portion 60b' will come into contact with this peripheral lip 90 with a relatively greater localized pressure so as to form a more secure closure for the venting structure 30'.
As another possible modification, a filtration material can be placed in the venting passageway 74.
It is apparent that various modifications could be made to the assembly as described herein without departing from the basic teachings of the present invention.

did you check the compression or torxe it to the correct specs it could also be youre fuel pump check your electrical ground wire its connected to your cdi the cdi is the unit connected to the spark plug caps its probably a fuel pump issue or a kill switch issue search from those two points its very unlikely that its a magneto issue and next time theres a flood its easier to tip ur machine on its side take the spark plug caps off and pull like theres no tomorrow till all the water comes out then then pull the drain plugs there are two bolts on the bottom front end sticking out take them off then when ur done it wouldnt hurt to pour some polaris blue into the spark plug cap seats :)

Wait, it just wont turn over, like the engine won't rotate?, that is either a broken crank, which not unusual for those 500's or you seized it, (welded the piston to the jugs). if this isn't what you mean, and it will turn over but not on its own power, then either your jets in the carbs are clogged, fuel may get to it, but not through it, or your rings are stuck closed and giving you low compression, check this by pulling it over slowly, you should feel each piston completing the revolution with a prominent glug glug. grab your primary clutch and rotate it back and forth, it should have a bit of play, but if it clanks and has alot of play, your crank is busted

Brownian Computation Is Thermodynamically

Brownian computers are supposed to illustrate how logically reversible
mathematical operations can be computed by physical processes that are thermodynamically reversible or nearly so. In fact, they are thermodynamically irreversible processes that are the analog of an uncontrolled expansion of a gas into a vacuum.
Keywords Brownian computation · Entropy · Fluctuations · Thermodynamics of computation 1 Introduction The thermodynamics of computation applies ideas from thermal and statistical physics to physical devices implementing computations. Its major focus has been to characterize the principled limits to thermal dissipation in these devices. The best case of no dissipation arises when we use processes that create no thermodynamic entropy. They are thermodynamically reversible processes in which all driving forces are in perfect balance.
Thermal fluctuations, such as arise through random molecular motions, are not normally a major consideration in thermodynamic analyses. However, they become decisive in the thermodynamics of computation. For the thermodynamic dissipation associated with thermodynamically irreversible processes is minimized by reducing the computational devices to the smallest scales possible, that is, to molecular scales.
I thank Laszlo Kish for helpful discussion.
J.D. Norton (B) Department of History and Philosophy of Science, Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh PA 15260, USA e-mail: email@example.com url: http://www.pitt.edu~jdnorton Found Phys (2013) 43:1384–1410 1385 Thermal fluctuations now become a major obstacle to reducing thermodynamic dissipation. Consider a thermodynamic process, such as a single step of computation in a physical computer, at these molecular scales. In order to proceed to completion, it must overcome these fluctuations. The problem is serious. It is the essential idea behind a "no go" result described elsewhere (Norton [17], Sect. 7.4; [18]; [20], Part II). If the process is to proceed to completion with reasonable probability, it follows quite generally that it must create thermodynamic entropy in excess of k ln 2 per step.
This quantity of entropy, k ln 2, is the minimum amount associated by Landauer's principle with the erasure of one bit of information. If each step of a computation must create more thermodynamic entropy that this Landauer limit, then any debate over the cogency of the Landauer principle is rendered superfluous. Indeed we have to give up the idea that the minimum thermodynamic dissipation is determined by the logical specification of the computation. For the minimum dissipation is fixed by the number of discrete steps in the computational procedure used, which makes this minimum dependent on the implementation.
The no go result wreaks greatest harm when the computer proceeds with what I shall call a "discrete protocol" tacitly presumed above. It is the familiar protocol in which the computation is divided into a series of discrete steps, each of which must be completed before the next is initiated.
There is an escape from the no go result. Bennett [1, 2] and Bennett and Landauer [4] have described a most ingenious protocol for computation that minimizes its effects. In the protocol, called "Brownian" computation, the many logical steps of a complicated computation are collapsed into a single process thermodynamically. It is done by chaining the logical steps of the computation into a single process such that random thermal motions carry the computational device's state back and forth over the steps in a way that is analogous to the Brownian motion of a pollen grain in water. No step is assuredly complete until the device happens to enter a final, dissipative trap state from which it escapes with very low probability.
The no go result still applies to this new, indiscrete protocol, but now the thermodynamic entropy creation required is merely that required for one step. It can be negligible in the context of a large and complicated computation if that single step really is close to thermodynamic reversibility. That is the hope. However, it is not realized.
For all the mechanical and computational ingenuity of the devices, the thermodynamic analysis Bennett provides is erroneous. The devices are described as implementing thermodynamically reversible computations, or coming close to it, thereby demonstrating the possibility in principle of thermodynamically reversible computation. In fact the devices are thermodynamically irreversible. They implement processes that are the thermodynamic analog of an uncontrolled, irreversible expansion of a one-molecule gas, the popping of a balloon of gas into a vacuum.
Sections 2 and 3 below will describe the operation of a Brownian computer and give a thermodynamic analysis of it. The main result is that an n stage computation creates k ln n of thermodynamic entropy; and that extra thermodynamic entropy is created if a trap state is introduced to assure termination of the computation; or if an energy gradient is introduced to speed up the computation.
1386 Found Phys (2013) 43:1384–1410 Section 4 affirms the main claim of this paper, that, contrary to the view in the literature, Brownian computation is thermodynamically irreversible. Section 5 reviews several ways that one might come to misidentify a thermodynamically irreversible process as reversible. The most important is the practice in the thermodynamics of computation of tracking energy instead of entropy in an effort to gauge which processes are thermodynamically reversible.
Finally, if a Brownian computer implements logically irreversible operations, its accessible phase space may become exponentially branched. This branching has been associated with Landauer's principle of the necessity of an entropy cost of erasure.
In Sect. 6, it is argued that the connection is spurious and that Brownian computation can provide no support for the supposed minimum to the entropy cost. Brownian computation is powered by a thermodynamically irreversible creation of entropy and it creates thermodynamic entropy whether it is computing a logically reversible or a logically irreversible operation. It cannot tell us what the minimum dissipation must be if we were to try to carry out the same operations with thermodynamically reversible processes.
2 Brownian Computers
All bodies in thermal contact with their environment exhibit fluctuations in their physical properties. They are indiscernible in macroscopic bodies. Fluctuation driven motions are visible through an optical microscope among tiny particles suspended in water. The botanist Robert Brown observed them in 1827 as the jiggling of pollen grains, but he did not explain them. In his year of miracles of 1905, Einstein accounted for the motions as thermal fluctuations. When we proceed to still smaller molecular scales, these thermal motions become more important. In biological cells they can bring reagents into contact and are involved in the complicated chemistry of DNA and RNA. Bennett, sometimes in collaboration with Landauer [1, 2, 4], notes that the molecular structures involved with DNA and RNA are at a level of complexity that they could be used to build computing devices whose function would, in some measure, be dependent on the thermal motions of the reagents. They then develop and idealize the idea as the notion of a mechanical computing device powered by these random thermal motions. These are the Brownian computers.
To see how these thermal motions can have a directed effect, consider the simplest case of a small particle released in the leftmost portion a long channel, shown from overhead in Fig. 1. Random thermal motions will carry the particle back and forth in the familiar random walk. If a low energy trap is located at the rightmost end of the channel, the particle will eventually end up in it. It will remain there with high probability, if the trap is deep enough.
Bennett suggests that this sort of motion can drive forward a vastly more complicated contrivance of many mechanical parts that implements a Turing machine
Fig. 1 Brownian motion ofparticle in a channelFound Phys (2013) 43:1384–1410 1387
and hence carries out computations. It consists of many interlocked parts that can slide over one another. The continuing thermal jiggling of the parts leads the device to meander back and forth between the many states that comprise the steps of the computation.
The reader is urged to consult the works cited above for drawings and a more complete description of the implementation of the Brownian computer.
The computer must be assembled from rigid components that interlock and slide over one another. It consists of various shapes that can slide up and down from their reference position to function as memory storage devices; actuator rods that move them; rotating disks with grooves in them to move the actuators; and so on. No friction is allowed, since that would be thermodynamically dissipative; and no springs are allowed. A spring-loaded locking pin, for example, would fail to function. Once the spring drives the pin home, it would immediately bounce out because of the timereversible, non-dissipative dynamics assumed.
While Bennett's accounts describe many essential parts of the Brownian computer, many more are not described. No doubt, a complete specification of all the parts of the Brownian computer would be lengthy. However, without it, we must assume with Bennett that the device really can be constructed from the very limited repertoire of processes allowed. That is, the possibility of the device and thus the entire analysis remains an unproven conjecture. I will leave the matter open since there are demonstrable failures in the analysis to be elaborated below, even if the conjecture is granted.
For reasons that will be apparent later, Bennett mostly considers Brownian computations in which each computational state has a unique antecedent state. This condition is met if the device computes only logically reversible operations, such as NOT.
For then, if the present state of a memory cell is O, its antecedent state must have been 1; and vice versa. However the condition is not realized if the device computes logically irreversible operations, such as the erase function. For then, if the present state of a memory cell is the erasure value 0, its antecedent state may have been either a 0 or a 1.
That each state has a unique antecedent state requires that the whole device implement a vastly complicated system of interlockings, so that the entire device has only one degree freedom. The computation is carried out by the device meandering along this one degree of freedom. The effect of this requirement, as implemented by Bennett, has an important abstract expression. The position and orientation of each component of the massively complicated Brownian computer can be specified by their coordinates. The combination of them all produces a configuration space of very high dimension. The limitation to a single degree of freedom results in the accessible portion of the configuration space being a long, labyrinthine, one-dimensional channel with a slight thickness given by the free play of the components.
Figure 2 illustrates how this channel comes about in the simplest case of two components constrained to move together. The components are a bar and a plate with a diagonal slot cut into it. The bar has a pin fixed to its midpoint and the pin engages with the slot in the plate. Without the pin, the two components would be able to slide independently with the two degrees of freedom labeled by x and y.
The confinement of the pin to the slot constrains them to move together, reducing 1388 Found Phys (2013) 43:1384–1410
Fig. 2 Two components with a single common degree of freedom
the possible motions to a single degree of freedom. That single degree of freedom corresponds to the diagonal channel in their configuration space shown at right.
The channel in the configuration space of a Brownian computer would be vastly more complicated. It will end with a low energy trap analogous to the one shown in Fig. 1 so that the computation is completed with high probability.
Here is Bennett's [3] brief summary:
In a Brownian computer, such as Bennett's enzymatic computer, the interactions among the parts create an intricate but unbranched valley on the manybody potential-energy surface, isomorphic to the desired computation, down which the system passively diffuses, with a drift velocity proportional to the driving force.
The summary includes an unneeded complication. Bennett presumes that some slight energy gradient is needed to provide a driving force that will bring the computation towards its end state. In fact, as we shall see shortly, entropic forces are sufficient, if slower.
3 Thermodynamic Analysis of Brownian Computers
Bennett and Landauer [1, 2, 4] report several results concerning the thermodynamic and stochastic properties of Brownian computers. They do not provide the computations needed to arrive at the results. They are, apparently, left as an exercise for the reader. In this section, I will do the exercise. As we shall see in this and the following sections, I am able to recover some of the results concerning probabilities. However the fundamental claim that the Brownian computer operates at or near thermodynamic reversibility will prove unsustainable.
3.1 Uncontrolled Expansion of a Single Molecule Gas
Fig. 3 Irreversible expansion of a one molecule gas tion in the first cell of volume V of a long chamber of volume nV, as shown in Fig. 3.
The partition is removed and the gas expands irreversibly into the larger volume nV.
The Hamiltonian of the single molecule is given by
in the region of space accessible to the gas and infinite elsewhere. Here p is a vector representing the momentum degrees of freedom of the molecule and π is some function of them, typically quadratic. The key point to note is that the Hamiltonian H is not a function of the spatial coordinates x = (x, y, z) of the molecule. This independence drives the results that follow. We assume that the x coordinate is aligned with the long axis of the chamber and that it has a cross-sectional area A.
At thermal equilibrium, the molecule's position is Boltzmann distributed probabilistically over its phase space as
During the expansion, the mean energy of the gas remains constant and, since it does no work, no net heat is exchanged with the environment. Since the environment is unchanged, we have for its thermodynamic entropy change
We recover the same result from (3) and the canonical expression F = −kT ln Z.
The essential point for what follows is that this expansion is driven entirely by entropic forces. There is no energy gradient driving it; the internal energy E of the gas is the same at the start of the expansion, when it is confined to volume V, as at the end, when it occupies a volume nV.
More generally, this sort of process is driven by an imbalance of a generalized thermodynamic force. For isothermal processes whose stages are parameterized by λ, the appropriate generalized force is
If we parameterize the states of the isothermally expanding one molecule gas by the
volume V (λ) = V λ, occupied at stage λ, then F (λ) = −kT ln V (λ) and the generalized force adopts the familiar form of the pressure of a single-molecule ideal gas:
