I don't see why you couldn't use a Venturitype vacuum eductor for this.
just pump your oil through the supply port (big fitting) and connect the vacuum side (small fitting)to your Meth line. Put a small needle valve in the Meth supply line and you're set.
Vauum eductors are available in many different sizes and materials
Has anyone tried this?
An eductor would also be a good way to increase the mixing action of a small pump in a bigger tank.

i have my switches located halfway up the shelf for the stand that i was going to use for methanol holding would the sparks generated by fliping a switch set the methanol off even though its 2 feet away 3 feet above under a vent hood?.. im not putting it up there but on a chair next to the processor
probably work just fine but, again, why make a simple system more complex ? Up to a reactor size of 40 - 50 gallons the cheap harbor freight pump works fine and will pull your "methoxide" from below the pump level
at a perfectly adequate and adjustable rate.

I am still sticking with my itty bitty aquarium air pum connected via a Delrin Sleeve into the vent cap of the carboy. This does NOT use clamps as the air line fits snuggly enough without it. Should pressure build up inside the carboy then the weakest point would let go and this is the connection at the Delrin Sleeve where the aqir line connects. It pops off, the air pressure is relieved and the "problem" goes away.That is worst case, and still safer than leaving the vent cap open all the time to compensate for the liquid leaving the carboy so a vaccum isn't created inside the carboy as the methoxide is being sucked out by the pump. With a check valve installed and no vent cap open or "some" way of compensation you would be sucking the carboy into collapse while methoxide is still in there,a gain a whole whack more dangerous than anything I am doing with a pop-free connection hooked up to an aquarium air pump. All I know is that it works, and works well for me, and I don't forsee any explosions due to this set up at any time soon. I would be more cautious of an open-to-the-air vent cap hole than what I am doing.

I believe some are connecting the carboy vent to the HWH vent, so that pressure is equalized. Seems like this was mentioned in different thread, where Girl Mark did some tests on what pressure was achieved in an unvented processor.
Once the methoxide is fully mixed in, would the vent to the carboy need to be closed to prevent processor tank pressure in the carboy?
Hmm, another thought, could a condensor be incorporated in between, such that vented methanol gases would condense and drain back into the original methanol container? Suddenly my mind is overwhelmed with visions of a tangled mass of plumbing.
So does this count?
Do I win any points for creativity?
has anyone tried to determine the ratio of oil to meoh for a mixing rate?
for example, I use 230l of oil, 26l of methonal + KOH as needed. How long should it take to empty my carboy of meoh? 20minutes, 40 minutes, an hour or more. I using an 1.5" Northern tools clear water pump for mixing. I can adjust the oil and meoh rates?
I have made several batches( 12 and counting )
the reason I ask...The next to last batch I mixed at a slower rate the previous batches. the washing seemed to go easier (ie fewer). Also the cloudy point was the lowest I have seen. somewhere less than 35F.

Um yeah now I know why Harbor Freight had that clear water pump on backorder :-)
I am reading this thread as I am redoing my carboy setup. My original design was only about a foot above the pump and would have worked great, except somebody welded the platform on the legs wrong! Anyway, dkenny, you may be on to something as the last batch I ran turned out about the same as yours. I gave up at 37f in the freeze and still looked great. Looking back through the records for that batch I see there was a little tussle getting the methoxcide to go in. I think my check valve was being lazy. Anyway, it took a lot longer to introduce the methoxicde than on previous btaches. So like I suggested, you may on to something.
And as for my carboy rack redesign, it will be above the pump but still only about 12" off the ground. I am going to do a double stack with plumbing and valving tying them together.
Oh and Graydon, you need to call New Orleans, they were looking for some pumps! Jeez!

Have them get a hold of me...I'll make em a whale of a deal...
The best way to vary the flow rate of any fluid through a centrifugal pump is to use a discharge throttle valve (i.e. globe valve (ex: a water faucet valve)). All the valves that I've been seeing in these processesors have been ball valves - which, do not make very good throttle valves.
Sorry for skipping through a bunch of this thread, someone probably has already beaten me to this.
Next: As far as carboy placement height - As long as the pump doesn't start making a bunch of noise, then the height of the carboy really doesn't matter too much. Higher placement gives the pump more NPSH (net positive suction head), but as long as the methoxide is fairly cool on the pump suction side, you should not have to worry about pump cavitation (which affects both life of the pump as well as its performance).
sorry to blob on,
Dogma: I believe that the main cause for concern for having the methoxode up high is the risk that it may be spilled into somebodies eyes/face.
It would seem to me that if you wanted true control you would design the system so that the Methoxide was injected at the proper flow rate in relation to the oil flow rate. This would require many hours of research to find the optimum flow rate for the perfect reaction. I would be game to work on this study with a few local students and a grant, I think I will approach my local school about this.
Amazing how something so simple can be so easily overlooked.
How would you modify a Half Beer Keg for pressurized methoxide injection? I am working on a drawing and I am not really familiar with the layout of a half beer keg. I will know better when I get them today (free BTW). Just called my local beer distributor and bang offered 1-2 for free. I love free. I am picking up 4 free 275 gallon oil tanks tonight also and trying to contact a local homeowner (rental unit) that had 5 40 gallon water heaters flooded and the insurance company is paying to replace them (possible freebies). Back to topic (sorry) if there are any examples of where this has already been done I would like to see them, as I would like to create a reactor that will last and provide non tinkering performance across many batches (I do realize that with WVO I will have to do some tinkering). Thanks in advance.
Amazing how something so simple can be so easily overlooked.
Graydon, love the pile of pumps, how much to ship one or a few to Australia? Slow boat will do fine.
PS You need another sticker for your great collection:
Biodiesel - This car is cleaner than a Prius!
Highly poisonous and explosive Methoxide squirting all over the place in case of a mishap?
You better think about that!
(Mark puts up her post about warning people NOT to put the carboy w/Methoxide far above pump level to avoid mishaps and you are planning to pressurize your container?)
I noticed on my last batch while doing the glycering prewash, I use the same port for water as methoxide, I did not open the vent on the processor and it seemed to suck in the water even better than when the vent was open for the methoxide injection. Next time I'm going to try leaving the vent closed for methoxide and see what happens, that way I won't loose any methanol to the atmosphere. I'll let ya'll know how it goes. My carboy is usually below waist height, sits on top of a 5 gallon bucket.
Great topic girlmark!
We use a venturi on the Wilson College processor. Yeah I guess I don't need it and will leave it out of the appleseed we are planning to build, but for the sake of the forum here is my experience...
Mazzei Injector Corp (google them) sold me a venturi based on the flow rate of my pump and the line size we are working with. It was about $50 or so new, they have a variety of sizes made from hard plastic, used for fertilizer injection, etc. The Mazzei venturis are sold with a spring loaded check valve installed. We added a small plastic inline valve from US plastics to the methoxide line.
This thing works great. We always keep the 15 gallon carboy we use for methoxide on the ground. Once the processor is full of oil (50 gal) we recirculate the oil through the venturi and as soon as we crack the little valve it starts sucking methoxide. There does seem to be some mixing in the venturi. We also use the venturi line for drawing up water when doing glycerine prewash, or sucking in random bits of biodiesel that we want to run through the outlet filter a second time.
There is a half decent picture at www.wilson.edu/fcsl click on the biodiesel link. I have to admit we pirated some of this design from a guy named Jedi who used to post here back in 03. We have had some problems with the rigid plastic tubing (not the venturi), and yes Mark you can overheat a plastic tank (!) but we try to avoid that
The pump to ship to Australia would probably run near $40-$50 bucks. You'd be better off lookin' for something local. Dang things are so heavy that they really knock the shipping cost up.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsEvents
2014 PRI Trade Show - Home Sweet Home
The Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Trade Show returns home to Indianapolis for Race Industry Week
This year marked the return of the Performance Racing Industry (PRI) Show to Indianapolis, the town that helped make the show famous. As the home to one of the most prestigious—and perhaps the largest—drag racing events in the world, the NHRA US Nationals, and the world's most famous auto race, the Indianapolis 500, which celebrates its 98th running in 2014, it's always fun to head to Indy, even during one of the coldest winters on record.
The roots of the motorsport community goes way beyond those two legendary events, the state of Indiana has over 1,600 motorsport-oriented businesses including manufacturers, racing teams, and support companies. One of the driving reasons for the motorsport popularity is Indiana's professional motorsport team tax incentive program. It saves racing teams thousands of dollars each year in taxes on performance components. The town and state are friends of the motorsport and high-performance community so it was only natural for the PRI show to return to Indy.
While the SEMA Show gets a bulk of attention in the car enthusiast world, the PRI Show is all about the hardcore racing and high-performance community. Think of this show as shedding the glitz and glamour of SEMA and getting right down to performance-only business.
As a trade show, it is not open to the public but still draws 40,000 buyers/media/exhibitors from 70 different countries. The show has recently become part of Race Industry Week, which includes the PRI trade show, AETC (Advanced Engine Technology Conference), along with 45 conferences and seminars. The conferences and seminars start days before the trade show opens and includes Winning the eRace Digital Marketing conferences, and other specialty meetings to support all aspects of the motorsport world. The PRI Show hosted over 1,100 exhibitors that occupied over 3,000 booth spaces in 2014, making it Indianapolis' largest convention for the year.
PRI might be a racing show, but the street high-performance market is well-represented, especially our niche Mustang segment. This year there was no shortage of new products and Ford Motor Company even had the brand-new 2015 Mustang on display. The MM&FF staff scoured the show floor in order to catch up on the new technology and products that will help define our market for 2014 and beyond. Here are the highlights.

Feedback Please!
Eating flowers is a delightful activity, the literal consumption of beauty. Usually I put flowers (borage, nasturtium) on salads so that they are not only a colourful accent, but add a soft, delicate texture. I am watching the artichokes in the garden closely, looking forward to dipping their fleshy petals in garlic butter.
What do you think?
Given that a lot of my time and attention at the moment is preoccupied with gardening and cooking and playing house this is what I am drawn to blog about most days. I've been thinking about starting a new blog, not to replace this one but as a venue for my more domestic musings, leaving this blog to be mostly about books and art. This would probably mean less frequent posts on Bibliophilia, as there simply isn't time for me to keep up a full regime of posting to two blogs. To help me make up my mind I would like to know what you, dear reader, think I should do. I see two options:
1. Focus only on Bibliophilia as a personal blog, with no inhibitions about many, even the majority, of posts sharing my daily thoughts and activities in the garden and kitchen, as well as the studio. This would mean posts would be at least as frequent, and possibly more frequent than they are now.
2. Start a second blog (tentatively titled 'Kapiti Cook's Garden) which would be entirely, or mostly, about gardening, cooking and other domestic activities. Maintain Bibliophilia as a book arts oriented blog. This would mean dividing my posting energy between two blogs and each would receive fewer posts than just one.
To comment on this burning issue, click on the "# Comments" link underneath this post. Do you find domestic posts dull and would prefer them to be excluded from this blog? Or do you just enjoy Bibliophilia and don't mind what I write about?
I'd especially like to hear from regular readers (including those who read without usually commenting) and from other bloggers- is this an issue you have considered for yourself?

I like it all in one blog. I have two blogs myself, one for life and one for poetry. The reason for this is life has stops and starts and filling the gaps with poetry made the narrative wierd. So, a poetry blog and a life blog.
I don't always see the point in splitting. I think that the domesticity you're talking about runs well with this, because I think it gives us an idea about you as a person and an artist. But if you really felt a conflict between the two, you should do it!

I was not aware of the first paper, and have no excuse for forgetting to cite the Macro/Micro regions papers. When writing the paper, we considered positioning the paper only as a grid-based ray tracing method, but decided against that. Personally, I think that pointing the reader towards the state-of-the-art ray tracing approaches on current hardware is more important than differentiating our method from algorithms tested so far back in time. If it was up to me, we would also leave out the comparison with macro-regions, which was forced on us by the primary reviewer. We are aware that a multitude of similar approaches exist and have been tried before. The important point is that the particular combination of techniques we implemented delivers surprisingly good performance from a type of acceleration structure, which, as you said, does not see a lot of attention.
javor wrote:The construction speed is indeed the part where we expect to see improvements in the future, however, I would look elsewhere for optimization opportunities. Overall the initial two-level grid construction is the fastest part of the build process, and most of the time is spent merging and expanding cells. Also, the first level grid we create is too sparse for the suggested technique to work, which is why Arsene did not include it in the implementation. Of course, we are happy to be proven wrong!

Re-enacting History, One War At A Time
CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) – To the uninitiated observer there is something a little disorienting about being in a room with 300- odd years worth of living military history re-enactors, where fulldress French and Indian War militia rub shoulders with World War II German Wehrmacht soldiers, as a World War I British soldier trades tips about where to buy boots with a Russian Army paratrooper.
A glance around the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle at Saturday's re-enactor recruitment event shows a lot of fresh, young faces wearing uniforms of all types – a surreal moving montage of American history. With the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg around the corner, historical re-enacting has an opportunity to reinvigorate itself as events pique interest in the nation's history.
Structurally, re-enacting is broken by time periods (say Civil War or World War I) then individuals are split between units (all of which are based on historical military units) on each side of the conflict. And while it's easy to paint this hobby in broad brushstrokes as an odd American fetish, people have been re-enacting the past for thousands of years.
In their coliseum in Rome, Romans re-created historical Greek battles (now granted, no one is forcing modern men and women to choose between period dress and lions). In modern England and France, there are groups dedicated to the Dark Ages and the Napoleonic wars, even as other groups maintain World War II fighter planes and bombers for display.
Re-enactor recruitment event at the Army Heritage Center View full size Emmitt Greenleaf, a 20-year army veteran, talks with K.C. Kirkman and Levi Taylor, both portraying World War II soldiers, at the re-enactor recruitment event at the Army Heritage Center. A range of historical periods were represented, from the 17th Century to the 20th Century. Joe Hermitt, PennLive.com
Some people work on cars, or go bird watching. Some people dress up in wool surcoats and lug muskets – or semiautomatic World War II rifles – around grassy fields in New York and Pennsylvania.
The hobby is expensive, (a full-dress uniform with equipment can easily run several thousands dollars) time consuming and can bring on skeptical looks from the general public.
It begs the question: Why bother?
"If you really want to learn history . there is a world of difference between reading a book and putting on a uniform," said John Gildersleeve, of Winchester Va.
A history book can tell broadly why something happened. But only by tugging on the boots can history buffs get a real feel for how it happened.
Enzo Carr can speak at length about what a pain it is to keep a U.S. Army dress uniform in tip-top shape. The young man can also talk in detail about the pros and cons of the various weapons used by the Army in World War II.
He was defending his unit's M1919 A4 machine gun (lovingly named "Wilma") from the weathered eye of Gildersleeve, who was playing one of any re-enactor's favorite past-times: grilling a younger re-enactor on the finer points of his or her equipment.
"What's the difference in the cyclical rate between an A6 and an A4?" Gildersleeve asked a khaki-clad Carr. Carr, to his credit, knew the answer and fired back a bunch of technical information on the weapon's performance.
Like most re- enactors who have been in the hobby for more than a few decades, he's bounced around time periods. Gildersleeve has marched in the Civil War, fought with the U.S. Army in World War II and is currently working with a German army unit. (The Germans, he said, simply have better toys.)
And yes, there's an acknowledgement that maybe dressing up as a German solider might be taken a little oddly by the general public. And yes, it may seem a little strange to see a German and American soldier arguing over whether or not the war could have ended differently had the German's pursued a machine gun development over other matters.
But as Gildersleeve pointed out completely unprompted: It's a damn good thing history turned out the way it did.
Many of the re-enactors are ex-military who have a natural interest in their own profession's history. Others are kids who grew up "playing solider" during the Cold War, and admit to engaging in an escapist weekend fantasy – in other words, big boys playing with big toys.
Then there is the fight against what is seen in some circles as the general neglect of history by modern Americans.
Rick Clark, a Revolutionary War re-enactor with the Pennsylvania State Navy, participates in encampments near Philadelphia at the site of a former Revolutionary War fortress. He said that each year at least one person asks his group why the soldiers built their fortress so close to the airport.

A range of historical periods were represented, from the 17th Century to the 20th Century. Joe Hermitt, PennLive.com
That general lack of understanding is also evident to Roy Long, of Chambersburg, who is a French and Indian War re- enactor at Fort Frederick State Park in Maryland.
The Revolutionary War – and our subsequent independence from England – is predicated entirely on that earlier conflict, he would argue. England raised taxes to fight the French, the taxes angered Americans (who had gained combat experience fighting the French) which led our declaration of independence and subsequent victory.
But ask most people about the conflict and you'll get a blank look, or a confused question about whether the French beat the Indians.
Still, to a non-re-enactor, it is disconcerting to see a German Army unit, or a southern Civil War calvary unit on display. At some level, you wonder: Is this really okay?
In unguarded moments of conversation, even the reenactors themselves will admit to having some of the same qualms.
One World War II Allied re-enactor said he can see the historical worth of a having a German Army unit and even enjoys participating in encampments and activities with them.
But he also admitted that some groups (say those who pose as Nazi SS units) may cross a line.
And for some, it's at that weird, surreal place – staring at a solider with a swastika on his arm – that the blurring of reality and history hits a little too close to home.

Neighbors complain about temporary new location for Norwich soup kitchen
Norwich — Neighbors of the new temporary home for the St. Vincent de Paul Place soup kitchen at the former St. Joseph School voiced their concerns about safety and detrimental effects on the neighborhood Wednesday to the City Council Public Safety Committee.
The soup kitchen was forced to move because of extensive structural repairs to the former train station, where the facility has been located for years. St. Vincent will open today in the former school cafeteria after securing a temporary permit from city and state building officials last week. The facility expects to remain at the school for six months.
Hobart Avenue resident David Mitchell said he was upset at the complacency by city leaders to allow the soup kitchen to move to the cafeteria in the former school. Mitchell said city officials should have sought an injunction to try to stop the move.
Another Hobart Avenue resident, Brian Kobylarz, said the city could have stopped the move through zoning regulations, but officials instead ruled that the cafeteria use was allowed. He complained that city agencies knew about the move, but no one contacted the neighbors.
"It was all done behind our backs," Kobylarz said.
Police Capt. Patrick Daley visited with St. Vincent Executive Director Jillian Corbin Wednesday afternoon before knocking on doors in the neighborhood to hear residents' concerns.
Daley told residents Wednesday night that downtown police patrols will be redeployed to the Cliff Street area immediately. Officers also will be sent out along nearby streets. Daley urged residents to call police with any issues or problems.
Mitchell said he believes the move will become permanent.
Mitchell and Kobylarz told Public Safety Committee members Aldermen Mark Bettencourt and Sofee Noblick that the neighborhood already has had problems, and this could make it worse.
"The schedule for their meals comes very, very close to the schedule of the school buses dropping off kids," Kobylarz said.
Bettencourt said other than increased police presence, there isn't much the city can do. The Diocese of Norwich owns the school and runs the soup kitchen.
Cliff Street resident Jim Small suggested parking a police cruiser at the St. Joseph parking lot.
Small complained that city taxes just went up when his own real estate value has gone down. He said homes should be revaluated "just because of this."
Mitchell obtained statistics from the police department showing that from Jan. 2 through June 25, police responded to 158 calls to St. Vincent de Paul Place, including 89 for assault, fighting, breach of peace, alcohol or drug incidents and medical emergencies.
Mitchell expects the same at the new location.
Daley said the calls are not all in response to incidents but rather serve as preventive measures when staff or clientele feel they need assistance. Sometimes, Daley said, a soup kitchen patron will want to talk to an officer and uses the facility as a convenient, private place for a meeting.
"I feel confident we're going to continue working together," Corbin said of the facility's relationship with Norwich police. "This isn't a new relationship."
Corbin, who did not attend the evening meeting, said the soup kitchen move is temporary during the repairs of the train station. Last week, the state building official approved a six-month waiver of the requirement that the facility have handicapped access.
City Manager Alan Bergren told residents Wednesday night that St. Vincent would need full planning and zoning approval as well as compliance with state and federal handicapped-access laws if the soup kitchen wanted to move to the school permanently.

Discover Kingsburgh, Skye
Welcome to Kingsburgh, Skye – and the historic stone boathouse situated on the coast of Loch Snizort, North Skye – probably the ideal romantic hideaway.
Dating from Jacobite times, the Kingsburgh Boathouse is arguably the most luxurious small private retreat on Skye. Lovingly restored in recent years by Skye's pre-eminent craftsmen, Kingsburgh Boathouse, proudly situated on the Atlantic coast, is now a luxury self-catering cottage and is available for the enjoyment of select, discerning visitors.
A life-time Skye resident, working on the recent restoration project remarked – 'What a location. I never knew it was here.' Discover the seclusion, the tranquillity and the luxury. Transport to local restaurants, such as the Three Chimneys, can be arranged – usually by car now, rather than by open boat! But 21st Century visitors will be as appreciative as those of the 18th Century; and the ancestors would be proud of the restoration project and of the hospitality now offered.
From Easter until end October bookings are taken on a minimum 7 night basis - usually from Saturday. From November until Easter, short breaks of minimum 4 nights are offered. For summer 2014 the weekly rental will be £1200 and during winter 2014/15 it will be £850.
Kingsburgh is listed in the 100 BEST GUIDE to Scottish Self Catering

What better way to celebrate some holiday cheer than at a speakeasy? How about one at the Roaring '20s-era Seeley's Furniture Company Building on South Brand? That's just what members and guests of the Glendale Historical Society did. On Sunday (Dec. 16), for one night only, "prohibition punch" flowed freely as some 200 guests also enjoyed Urban Palate-catered hors d'oeuvres and cool jazz.
Like in the old days, visitors had to announce the code word "P-s-s-s-t" to the bouncer before they were allowed to enter the tiny first-floor space for reveling. The code stood for "preservation." And that's what Historical Society members do every day.
Guests, welcomed by society President Greg Grammer, had the chance to go on one of the several tours of the building during the 4 to 6 p.m. hours of the party, just as night was falling. Tour guide and former society board member Marty Bracciotti led his group to the 41 creative studios and office space opened just 90 days ago.
Bracciotti described the Seeley's building as "an example of preservation and adaptive reuse." It was a recipient of the society's 2012 Preservation Award. "I live in the neighborhood," Bracciotti said. "We were afraid the building would be torn down and turned into a mini-mall."
Fears now aside, Bracciotti explained that the building was built in 1925 in the Spanish Revival style by architect Alfred Priest. In 1940 the building's facade was transformed into Art Deco/Moderne by architect Kurt Meyer-Radon. Today's restoration converted the building into the Seeley Studios. The restoration took six years and cost $8 million.
Some visitors stopped in one of the studios. Glendale residents and society members Alex Van Speybroeck and wife Carla German admired a pop-art Superman painting. Sonia Montejano, in '20s flapper garb, preferred Catwoman. Both works are by artist Deborah Flattery.
Society board member and supporter of L.A. Arts Alliance Julio Hechavarria Jr. was another tour guide who introduced visitors to some more of the artists present, including Mkrtich Sarkisyan, who showed off his "My Feeling." The colorful acrylic on canvas was a visitors' favorite. Sarkisyan's studio is rent-free for several months in order to attract more artists to the Seeley Studios.
The studios — with storefronts, offices and live/work spaces — will be a community for creative professionals. "During my years on the City Council I have continued to support a 'creative corridor,'" said Glendale Councilwoman Laura Friedman. Friedman was at the party with husband Guillaume Lemoine, landscape contractor and chef extraordinaire.
Also present at the party was society Treasurer Sean Bersell and wife, writer Heather Norris. Bersell was taken with a Seeley Furniture Co. scrapbook with yellowed ads placed many decades ago in Glendale newspapers at the time, including the News-Press and the Glendale Independent. Society members Frank Hall and his guest Sally Little, dressed vintage style, were also present in the room turned into a small museum of Seeley's building memorabilia.
Mistress of all trades and society board member Marcia Hanford had society membership applications at the ready for any guest not yet affiliated with the organization.
After living in Pasadena for 20 years, two VIPs have just moved into Glendale. Jenkins and Bob Shannon are well known in art circles in the San Gabriel Valley. Jenkins is the executive director and board member of the Pasadena Museum of California Art. She hosted the museum's holiday party for members on Saturday (Dec. 15).
Both are looking forward to decorating their Montrose-area home in, what else, California art.

We didn't know it was possible to watch a video of Rihanna in the bathtub and leave it feeling kind of miserable. But then we caught her new video for the single "Stay," and now we kind of want to curl up in a hot shower and have a good cry ourselves.
The stark piano ballad, which Rihanna performed at Sunday's Grammy Awards, is given an appropriately minimalist clip, where the singer broods in a bathtub in a barely lighted room. The consonant-gifted guest vocalist Mikky Ekko plays her partner, kind of, but the bleak allure is all Rihanna's.
It's kind of an echo of her famous "We Found Love" video, with that clip's quick-cut, drugged-up frenzy of bad romance replaced with solitary, locked-off shots that feel more intimate than exploitative.

We're exhausted from unpacking Chris Brown subtext into everything Rihanna does, so let's just take the clip as credible evidence that Rihanna's deadpan voice can fully inhabit a tear-streaked ballad as well as Europhile rave tunes.
She looks amazing, but the focus isn't so much her body as the look of constant devastation on her face. Read into that what you will, but it's a beautiful video that broaden's Rihanna's emotional-musical palette.

Twitter's Revolutionary Agreement Lets Original Inventors Stop Patent Trolls
from the an-idea-whose-time-has-come deptWe've talked repeatedly in the past about how even if a company got patents for solely defensive reasons, down the road, those patents can end up in the hands of trolls, who abuse them to hinder real innovation. If you talk to engineers -- especially software engineers -- in Silicon Valley, this is one of the many things they absolutely hate about patents. But, because companies often feel the need to stockpile patents as a defensive means of warding off patent lawsuits, many engineers and companies do so out of a sense of obligation.
However, it appears that Twitter is thinking differently about this, and has announced that it will be using its new Innovator's Patent Agreement to guarantee that any patents obtained by employees at Twitter (past or present) grant lifetime control to the actual inventors, to prevent the patents from being used offensively against others.
One of the great things about Twitter is working with so many talented folks who dream up and build incredible products day in and day out. Like many companies, we apply for patents on a bunch of these inventions. However, we also think a lot about how those patents may be used in the future; we sometimes worry that they may be used to impede the innovation of others. For that reason, we are publishing a draft of the Innovator's Patent Agreement, which we informally call the "IPA".As Twitter notes, this is "a significant departure" from how just about every other company handles patent assignments. Along those lines, it's planning to evangelize this idea to other tech firms as well -- and I wouldn't be surprised to see a bunch of others jump on board. The basic idea makes a lot of sense. Twitter has also posted the full agreement to Github and put it under a Creative Commons license.
The IPA is a new way to do patent assignment that keeps control in the hands of engineers and designers. It is a commitment from Twitter to our employees that patents can only be used for defensive purposes. We will not use the patents from employees' inventions in offensive litigation without their permission. What's more, this control flows with the patents, so if we sold them to others, they could only use them as the inventor intended.
The method by which this works is pretty creative. Basically, if the actual patent holder tries to use the patent offensively without first obtaining the permission of the inventor, the agreement allows the inventor to issue a license to the entity being sued:
Company hereby grants a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, no-charge, irrevocable license under the Patents to the Inventors, along with the right to sublicense as further described herein, solely so as to enforce the promises made by Assignee in paragraph 2. The Inventors' right to sublicense is explicitly limited herein to those rights necessary to enforce the promises made by Assignee in paragraph 2. Accordingly, if Assignee asserts any of the Patent claims against any entity in a manner that breaks the promises of paragraph 2, the Inventors, individually or jointly, may grant a patent sublicense to the entity under the Patents, the scope of the sublicense being limited herein to those rights necessary to enforce the promises made in paragraph 2Of course, how much do you want to bet that an agreement like this violates someone's patent somewhere?
Either way, kudos to the Twitter team for not just doing what everyone else does, despite the fact that everyone hates it. Companies that actually recognize that "standard operating procedures" are a problem are plentiful. Those that actually do something different because of it, are rare.

As-Salaam alaikum,
In Ayat 21 of Surat Ahzab of the Holy Qur'an (33:21), Allah Ta'ala says:--
"You have indeed in the Apostle of Allah a beautiful pattern
(of conduct), for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Final
Day, and who engages much in the praise of Allah."
In view of this, since our object is Allah, Tabaraka Wa Ta'ala, and the Final Day, we are charged to follow the Prophetic guidance set by Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam-- the guidance referred to as "a beautiful example.." that Allah loves. The beautiful example of the Prophet is openly shown/indicated in the inner qualities of his soul, designated by his compassion, justice, generosity and forgiveness.
We should imitate him in this, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, by obeying the rules of Islamic Shari'a and overcoming everyday forgetfulness of the soul. This is related with the teaching in Ayat 31 of Surat Ali-Imran of the Holy Qur'an:--
"Say (O Muhammad): If you love Allah, follow me, and Allah will
love you and forgive you your sins" (3:31)
In otherwords, the way to become worthy of Allah's love is to follow Prophetic guidance. The goal of this guidance is explained by a famous Hadith-Qudsi in which the Prophet, alaihis-Salaat Was-Salaam, quotes the words of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala:--
"When My Servant approaches Me through good works, then I love
him. When I love him, I am the hearing with which he hears, the
eye with which he sees, the hand with which he grasps, and the
foot with which he walks." [Bukhari, Hadith No. 6502].

The Bat Detective - Book and CD set is the perfect accompaniment to go with the bat detectors we sell at NatureCounters.
In 56 pages the book explains in clear and simple terms how to use a bat detector to identify different types of bats from their echolocation calls and behaviour.
The 48 track CD contains example calls of the most common bat types found in the UK, helping bat enthusiasts to identify the different calls they hear with their bat detectors.
Amazon has the following review of "The Bat Detective - Book and CD":
***** Great Book and CD Combo
by A.Knott
At 56 pages, this little book is a mine of information about bats. It is supplied with a 48-track CD of bat detector sounds of 13 of the 16 species of bats living in Britain today, as well as tones for calibrating your bat detector - very handy for complete beginners and enthusiasts alike.
I was amazed by the first two pages in the book, called Bat Facts: for example, did you know that bats account for a quarter of all mammal species in the world, and make up half of our mammal population in Britain? If you love bats, this is great news. If not, bolt your windows!
The rest of the book describes how to identify the kind of bats you are likely to encounter near your home. Briggs and King emphasise that it is fascinating detective work (hence the name of the book). Of course, the ultrasonic echolocation sounds that bats create to hunt for prey, brought into the human hearing range by various kinds of bat detectors, are the main clue, but there are many others described for each bat in the book - where they fly, how they fly, and where they tend to roost.
There are three kinds of bat detector, and this book and the CD of recordings of typical echolocation calls, assume you have the heterodyne type, most common among enthusiasts and beginners. The book describes in simple detail how to develop the skill to interpret what you are hearing on a heterodyne detector.
Bats are everywhere, and you have may rare bats living near you, particularly if you live in the West Country. My family have found a fantastic new hobby, and this book is a really good starting point. I wish it had all 16 UK bats (we do in Somerset), but I still give it 5 stars.

As you can see I'm using an Arduino Pro (the blue PCB) to generate the step pulses and the step direction, alternating between a high frequency and low frequency and changing direction. The motors both respond nicely. The red PCBs are the EasySteppers.
Tonight I attached all the wiring and tried to get EMC to control the motors, sadly I was unsuccessful. I think I am having issues with the parallel port card. Maybe I've got the wrong address or something. I'll have to sit down tomorrow and troubleshoot this one. I'd also like to make a small PCB that holds a 12V-5V convertor, some LEDs, DB25 and a relay for the emergency stop. Gotta sleep on that one.

It is a pedestrian alley located between the street Francisco Carrión and Mejías Alhóndiga.

I would say no, since enforcement of a foul trumps the IW rule, and the enforcement of the foul includes LOD. Therefore, no extension. But I see what you're getting at with this play. Makes you think!
Assuming that A12 ends up in the EZ, TD comes off the board, we've got a USC enforced at the 10 (where he started his "moonwalk"). Since this is a USC the period is not extended, game over (3.3.4.b.1).If we still have an IW before the "moonwalk" then I'd have a simple IW, replay the down, extend for 1 untimed down. If the "moonwalk" occurs before the IW, then game over.
Why would the game be over? I read "Ralph's tweak" as follows ... A12 moonwalks at the 10. Back Judge throws his flag and in a bit of excitement, blows his whistle as A12 is at he 5 yard line. Due to the IW, the EOR is the 5 yard line and Team A has the option to replay or take the ball at the EOR. Since there was an IW, the period is extended and the UNS on A12 is enforced from the 5 yard line which is the succeeding spot. Am I missing something?
So need some clarification here. Our guidance for last year (2016) and this year has been that if the act that we deem to be flagrant enough to be ruled a USC clearly and without question occurs before the TD is scored it shall be treated as a live ball foul. That takes the points off the board and we enforce the foul from the basic spot. If we have an IW after the USC but before the TD we are enforcing the USC as a live ball foul which by rule cancels A's IW options, no replay of the down and game over. Is that not correct under current rules?
Did NF change the USC to be a live-ball foul? I've missed this (not being a NF official).
So need some clarification here. Our guidance for last year (2016) and this year has been that if the act that we deem to be flagrant enough to be ruled a USC clearly and without question occurs before the TD is scored it shall be treated as a live ball foul.
IF there wasn't an IW, an USC on a play where time expired would end the period because it is treated as a dead ball foul- succeeding spot enforcement.Where there was an IW on the play, an untimed down would occur either by taking the ball at the spot of IW or replaying the down.The USC would now be enforced regardless if it occurred before or after the IW. Consider A's coach's head fell off after he was told the TD didn't count. A would still get an UTD, it would just be 15 yards further.Hope that makes it a little clearer.
Not really. Im getting confused over the statement regarding the IW that states the IW is ignored if a penalty is accepted. Doesnt that mean the IW isnt applied to extend the period? Especially coupled with the fact that 3-3-4 specifically states the period is not extended on a USC foul. I need help. (In more ways than one). 😂
I was taught that when you have a USC foul, you administer the play as if the foul hadn't happened. You then apply the USC penalty.In this case, the IW causes extension of the period for one untimed down from either the previous spot, or from the IW spot. The USC is then enforced from that spot.

Hey all,
I've just been doing a happy dance all day since I saw the news that LEGO chose Pete Reid's Exo Suit as the next Cuusoo set. I take back every negative thing I've ever even thought about Cuusoo - I'm just so pleased they picked a true AFOL set that's not based on an IP. I just hope the ultimate set doesn't get dumbed down from Pete's original.

UPS To Hire 55,000 Seasonal Workers In US
ATLANTA (AP) — UPS will be hiring 55,000 U.S. seasonal workers to help with an increase in volume over the holiday season.
The world's biggest package delivery company said Friday that it foresees peak season daily volume rising 8 percent this year.
Its peak day for holiday pickups will be Dec. 16, with anticipated pick-ups of more than 34 million packages around the world that day. A day later will be the peak delivery day, at more than 29 million packages.
United Parcel Service Inc. expects that Cyber Monday on Dec. 2 will see a 10 percent increase in pickup volume, surpassing 32 million packages.
The company said that there are 26 shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, six fewer than last year and the most compressed holiday shopping season since 2002.

In 1580–1583, the original 13th-century castle was converted into a Renaissance mansion graced by a courtyard with arcades and a garden. The Baroque entrance tower was built in 1744. The chateau acquired its present Late Neo-classical appearance in the early 19th century. It is surrounded by an English landscape garden featuring a linden tree estimated to be 700–800 years old. The Geymüller family was the Kamenice chateau's last pre-World War II owner. In 1998, this historical landmark came under the management of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague (UPM). Following extensive restoration work carried out between 1999 and 2004, a collection of furniture was installed in its interiors, which is open to the broad public. UPM also holds long-term exhibitions (toys, wrought ironwork, etc.) in other spaces of the chateau, intended both for children and adults. During the summer months, a café with a terrace offers refreshments and a pleasant ambiance. There is a visitors' information centre in the chateau and exhibition installations administered by the town's Municipal Museum in its south wing.
Permanent exhibitions)
Matchbox Models
With their phenomenal success, Matchbox toys have been enjoyed by several generations of children and adults. Lesney was a British manufacturing company that introduced its die-cast miniature models of cars, machinery and various types of toys in the late 1940s. The Matchbox brand became noted for its packaging of small models into match-size boxes. Interestingly, the design was inspired by the Norvic box produced by Czechoslovakia's SOLO Sušice match manufacturer. These models were extremely popular in Czechoslovakia due to their extraordinary precision and recreation of the originals down to the smallest details, as well as their functionality, durability and bright colours.
The exhibition presents more than 1,500 models ranging from the first toys manufactured in the late forties and early fifties to vintage models made quite recently. The exhibition contains a play zone. > Bring your Matchbox model to the chateau!¨
Flatlets for Dolls
Doll rooms and doll houses are among the oldest and most popular kinds of toys in the world. The exhibition displays items from UPM's collections, dating from the second half of the 19th century to the 1930s. Reduced-scale copies of interiors consist of three walls made of plywood or folding cardboard. The variability of the furnishings depended on the nature and purpose of the room. Different types of furniture were used for a shop, parlour room or kitchen. The diversity of the miniature furniture nicely illustrates the historical trends in interior design. Doll houses often imitated real interiors, as can be seen when compared with furnishings in the master bedroom of the Geymüller family – the Kamenice chateau's last pre-World War II owners. • The exhibition contains a play zone for young visitors and an educational programme.
A collection of 19th and 20th century furniture
The Evolution of Furniture Design in the Bohemian Lands and Other Countries of Europe
The largest exhibition of its kind in the Czech Republic tells the story of modern furniture design from the first half of the 19th century – the Biedermeier period – until the close of the 20th century. It offers a comprehensive overview of the modern history of furniture in the Czech lands against the backdrop of significant developments in furniture making worldwide, including one-of-a-kind designer pieces. The most distinguished artist-designers are represented here, including Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Ray and Charles Eames, Josef Gočár, Josef Hoffmann, Pavel Janák, Eva Jiřičná, Kaare Klint, Verner Panton, Josip Plečnik, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Ettore Sottsass, Bořek Šípek, and many others.
Grilles, Locks, Keys
The walk-through exhibition of wrought ironwork that starts in the chateau's Renaissance hall is the first permanent display specializing in this handicraft in the Czech Republic. It showcases examples of medieval, Renaissance and Baroque grilles and railings, as well as historic locks, keys, knockers and ironmongery dating from the Romanesque period to the 19th century. • The interactive programme enables visitors to try out the mechanisms of locks and knockers or to activate a wrought-iron dragon.
Alena Matějková: A Journey
The chateau's cellars feature a monumental object created by the glass artist and sculptor Alena Matějková. In its visual concept reminiscent of archaic architecture, the artist evokes the atmosphere of ancient rituals and the Celtic veneration of light as the source of all life. The stone object intentionally brings to mind menhirs and megalithic structures, strewn all over Europe many centuries ago.
Other displays worth visiting in the chateau:
– Museum of the Senses – permanent exhibition of the Municipal Museum
Hračkobraní Toy Harvest Summer Festival
– a July exhibition of wooden toys, toy designers and producers, including works by art students and toys in the holdings of collectors from all over the Czech Republic. After the end of the Toy Harvest event, a part of the summer festival's toy exhibition remains on display.

Frequently asked questions follow. Click on a question to see the response.
Test Content
When is it appropriate to use the MCMI-III test?
The MCMI-III test should be used for diagnostic screening or clinical assessment of adults who evidence problematic emotional and interpersonal symptoms or who are undergoing professional psychotherapy or a psychodiagnostic evaluation. It should not be used with nonclinical cases. Individuals under the age of 18 should be administered the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI® test) or the Millon Pre-Adolescent Clinical Inventory (M-PACI®), depending on the individual's age, rather than the MCMI-III test.
How is the MCMI-III test different from the MCMI-II test?
- Ninety items were revised or replaced.
- One new personality scale (Depressive) was added.
- One new Clinical Syndrome scale (PTSD) was added.
- New Noteworthy Responses sections were added for childhood abuse and eating disorders.
- The Axis I scales, specifically Alcohol Dependence, were improved.
- The item-weighting scheme was changed.
- There are fewer items per scale and less item overlap among scales.
What are base rate scores?
Base rate scores are a kind of standardized score that differs from the standardized scores that are reported for most personality and clinical inventories. Instead of standardizing all scales in the inventory to the same mean and standard deviation (e.g., a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10) in the inventory's normative sample, base rate scores are scaled to reflect the differing prevalence rates of the characteristics measured by the inventory. Base rate scores are unique to the Millon inventories. See the MCMI-III manual for a more complete description of the rationale and implementation of base rate scores.
What is the purpose of the Grossman facet scales?
The facet scales help pinpoint the specific personality processes (e.g., self-image, interpersonal relations) that underlie overall elevations on the Clinical Personality Patterns and Severe Personality Pathology scales, thereby aiding in the interpretation of those scales. For each of the primary personality scales, three scales measuring "facets" specified by Millon's theory as prominent structural or functional features of that personality pattern are reported. Thus, there are 42 total facet scales tied to the 14 primary personality scales.
How are the Grossman facet scale results reported?
The profile report includes a graph showing the most salient facet scale scores and a table showing all 42 facet scale scores. The interpretive report includes the graph, the table, and a section with interpretive text for the scales. Printing the facet scale results is optional for both the profile report and the interpretive report.

Johnson Controls completed its merger with Tyco, expanding the industrial company's breadth in a corporate inversion deal that has been valued at more than $14 billion.
The deal, announced in January, gives shareholders of Milwaukee-based Johnson Controls Inc. a 56 percent stake in the new company, which is called Johnson Controls. The new global headquarters will be in Cork, Ireland where Tyco is based.
Corporate inversions have become more popular with U.S. companies as a way to reduce their taxes. Johnson Controls said it is on track to realize $1 billion in savings following the merger. Critics say inversions are an unfair tax dodge.

While they continue to perform good deeds for their community in Warwick, students at Sherman Elementary School have extended the reach of their community service to Haiti where they have "adopted" two children through World Vision.
"This came from our Feinstein Junior Scholars wanting to give back not only in our community, but around the world," said Janis Reis, a special education teacher at Sherman and one of the school's three Feinstein Coordinators.
As a Feinstein Leadership School, Sherman holds monthly food drives and the Feinstein Foundation gives them money for doing so. The school decided to use a portion of this money to financially support two children living in Haiti.
"We've been able to do this because we collect cans every month and [Alan Shawn Feinstein] gives us a dollar for every can," explained Reis. "He sends us a check and that allows us to support them."
Reis estimates the school has collected 1,230 items through their food drives so far this school year, resulting in $1,230. They provide World Vision with $35 a month for each child.
The process was completed in January and Reis explained that all the students were told about it and understand what this means. She brought each class down to the main entrance of the school, where there is a bulletin board displaying pictures of the two children and their stories.
Nine-year-old Louise lives with her parents, both of whom are farm laborers, her two brothers and three sisters in a wooden house. She is in primary school and assists her family with carrying water to their home every day.
Two-year-old Juvenson also lives with his parents, two brothers and one sister. His parents are also farm laborers, struggling to provide for their family.
The sponsorship by Sherman School will help to provide food, medical care, clothing and other necessities to Louise, Juvenson and their families.
World Vision, an organization dedicated to improving the well-being of children in Haiti, provides an ID number for each child, which allows Reis and the other coordinators to ensure the items they are sending reach the correct children.
But the project doesn't stop there. The school will do a number of activities to provide things for Louise and Juvenson. For example, this month first-graders are creating rubber band bracelets to send to Haiti. Louise will be able to share the bracelets with her siblings and classmates, while Juvenson can share them with his siblings and other children in his community since he is not in school yet.
Reis explained that an email message from Sherman students has been sent to Louise and Juvenson, but it can take up to four months to get a response.
"This will be a Sherman School project for the long-term," explained Reis. "We collect this food to make a difference."
Through World Vision, larger monetary donations can result in larger items for the families. For example, Reis said the school would like to raise the money to provide the families with a chicken or a goat; a goat requires a separate donation of $100.
Reis also said portions of the money donated by the Feinstein Foundation will still go to projects in the Warwick community or items for Sherman School, so it is likely fundraisers will be planned to specifically support Louise and Juvenson in addition to the food drives.
Although he did not play a part in the school's decision to adopt the children, Reis said Feinstein was very impressed with their project. He recently visited the school and saw the lobby display; Reis recalls seeing tears in his eyes.
"This will be good for us," said Reis, adding that this project spreads the name Feinstein and Feinstein Junior Scholars even more.
The school is willing to accept community donations for Louise and Juvenson and is looking for local businesses that may be interested in sponsoring their efforts. For more information, contact the school at 734-3565.
