- Case Study
Using leakage-free seated valves, two-way pressure reducing valves and a higher efficiency radial piston pump, Schwaebische Werkzeugmaschinen achieved energy savings of 73 percent on its BA 400 machining centers.
June 18, 2014 - HAWE Hydraulics supplied leakage-free seated valves, two-way pressure reducing valves and a higher efficiency radial piston pump to Schwaebische Werkzeugmaschinen, whichb was able to achieve energy savings of 73 percent on its BA 400 machining centers. "One of the main ways to save energy with a machine tool is to control the creation of heat, so you don't need to cool the tool down again," says Ullrich Breuner, sales manager with Hawe Hydraulics , which worked with Schwaebische Werkzeugmaschinen to increase the efficiency of its BA 400 machining centers. "Working with Schwaebische Werkzeugmaschinen, we started developing seated valves that are leakage free, which is a very different function compared to spool valves." Breuner says the compact hydraulic power packs used to revamp the BA 400 help save energy in three ways. The first, and most obvious way, is by using the leak-free seated valves to eliminate permanent leakage. A second way is the use of two-way pressure-reducing valves to control the different pressures for different functions required by the machine tool while also limiting the leakage rate. The third way involves use of a radial piston pump, which is more efficient than a gear pump. "A major benefit in developing these machines has been the realization that if you reduce the leakage rate, the application can use a smaller pump," says Breuner. "If you don't have the permanent leakage rate and the need to re-fill, it's possible to use a 10-liter rather than a 15-liter pump. You are still able to achieve the same clamping time but use a smaller power unit because you have eliminated the leakage. And by using a submersible motor, it helps create a compact system that limits the amount of oil needed." Radial Piston Pump Efficiency
The BA 400 series machining center is used for small to medium-sized workpieces, as well as ferrous metal machining. The machining center is available with two or four spindles and provides torque up to 200 Nm. It is designed for clamping blanks while workpieces are machined on the opposite worktable; it can also be used for multiple workpiece clamping on a double swivel table with three linear axes and two rotary axes. The workpiece handling is done via robots or linear gantries. Before implementation of the Hawe solution, the machine was fitted with standard hydraulic controls, but Schwaebische Werkzeugmaschinen was looking for a solution that would yield substantially more energy savings. The Hawe system eliminates use of a gear pump to generate hydraulic energy and replaces it with a radial piston pump, which offers a higher efficiency than gearpumps or vane pumps. The choice of the pump's power pack (HK series) also comes with a submerged motor for the drive. One key advantage is that the significantly smaller motor keeps the overall dimensions of the power pack compact; and it loses less power in idle mode than a standard air-cooled motor. Plus, at peak demand, submerged motors generate up to twice the rated output where a standard motor would break down due to thermal reasons. In a submerged motor, after approximately 30 min, the oil reaches a steady-state temperature, which is considered an ideal condition for operating machining tools. And because the HK power pack is built into an extruded aluminum casing with cooling gills, it allows unhindered heat transfer, as the air flowing by can easily dissipate the low thermal energy. A key advantage of this design is its low oil volume which, depending on the size of the power pack, can be kept between 0.8 to 4 gal. Lower oil demand brings down the costs of exchanging oil as well as the strain on the environment. For the machining center, the power pack's selected size holds 4 gal of oil. Using its radial piston pump, the power pack supplies pressurized oil for operating pressures of up to 10,000 psi (700 bar). Breuner says those pressures are unusual for machining tools because the majority of applications operate at pressures between 2,200-4,400 psi (150-300 bar). But because Hawe manufactures all of its pressurized components from steel, such high operating pressures are not problematic because the components can withstand these loads over long periods. Seated valves made from steel wear less than slide valves in cast housings. A cooling wheel mounted at the top of the power pack cools both the oil and motor, which means that an additional external cooling unit is avoided by using Hawe's modular construction kit system. Due to the size of the motor, low oil volume and compact dimensions, the power pack can be built into the machine and integrated into the machining center. Machine Operation with the New Pump The machining center's working mode varies depending on the workpiece. Many applications work with a mixture of different workpieces, so that both the machine and hydraulics supply must be able to handle everything from continuous operation to machine set-up time. At standstill, the Hawe system operates in storage mode and saves additional energy which can be used in the machining center. A smooth switching accumulator charge valve recharges the storage whenever the duty switch point is reached. Because storage is charged when the machine is started, the machine control monitors this operation constantly. Once the predefined pressure has been attained, the valve will switch itself into depressor circulation. At the slightest pressure, oil is re-fed into the tank. Hawe's modular system provides options for the input block, such as pressure and return filters or TÜV- certified valves. A variety of filters and valves can be combined with the BA block to achieve highly customized specifications. The BA 400 machining center comes with a combination of sub-plates and a seated valve block (NBVP 16), which again increases the machine's efficiency. Because the seated valves are pre-controlled, they work with minimum switching capacity. The directional seated valve provides a maximum volume flow of 5.3 gal/min and maximum operating pressure of 5,800 psi (400 bar). The use of directional seated valves saves considerable electric power during operation of the machining center. A machine with 15 spool valves and/or 3-way pressure reducers accumulates a leakage of approximately 0.4 gal/min at 2,200 psi (150 bar), and the configuration requires an additional drive input of 375W compared to a solution with seated valves. In a two-shift operation, each with eight hours per day and 200 working days per year, this adds up to 1,200 kWh for each machine. Plus, the heat generated by the additional energy input also needs to be lowered, which means that the power saved doubles once more. "The hydraulic power pack system has been available for more than 10 years," says Breuner. "But, until recently, few companies were thinking about energy savings. Now companies are thinking more about the total lifecycle, not only the initial investment but also ongoing operational costs. If you need 1,200 kilowatts less per year to run the machine and there are 10 machines, the savings are significant."

RV water heaters are one of those appliances that we don't think of until there is an issue. That little water heater works hard, especially when you are full-time RVers.
RV water heaters are one of those appliances that we don't think of until there is an issue. That little water heater works hard, especially when you are full-time RVers.
How long has it been since you sanitized your fresh water system in your RV? Did you know your fresh water system needs to be sanitized on a regular basis? Even with a good filter, algae, debris, and bacteria can build up in the fresh water tank and plumbing.
The sanitation process can take several hours, and will require access to a fresh water supply.
We have a Keystone Laredo travel trailer with a 43 gallon fresh water tank, and our water cabinet includes the fresh water fill inlet, fresh water tank vent to prevent overfilling, valve for switching between onboard water and city water, black water flush inlet, outside shower port, and the cable TV connections.
I borrowed this idea from my father. My dad added several pull-out storage areas in their kitchen pantries as well as interior drawers similar to this project. This additional pull-out storage made much better use of the space, making the contents neater and easier to access.
Our utensil drawer is definitely in need of a space utilization improvement project. The standard silverware organizer does do the job, but the drawer itself was never more than half full.
Waste water tanks are not high on the list of fun things to do while RVing. We have two gray tanks, and the way the manufacturer installed our kitchen gray tank's dump valve does not make the process any more fun. Basically, they were installed "backwards." In order to open the gate valve you have to climb under the edge of the slide floor and electrical cables, and the valve must pulled away from you in order to open it.
We have four cats and live in a 35-foot RV. Where do our cats poop? Not gonna lie: this was at the top of our priority list when we were RV shopping. It is extremely important to have a clean and safe area for cats to go to the bathroom, because without that, it can cause all kinds of behavioral problems that could lead to anything from aggression to physical illness.
Read moreEverybody poops! Or alternately: Full-time RVing with cats, and where the heck did we put the litter boxes?
Humidity can a real problem while living in an RV. We have been traveling east, officially leaving the dry desert and entering bayou country. On the first night of 90% humidity, we wondered when we would be dealing with complications of humidity in our RV life.
The next morning, while making my morning tea, I noticed a six inch round spot on the ceiling with condensation forming.
Where do we hide our dirty laundry? With limited space, we needed a place to store it until laundry day. Our rig has a pass-through storage compartment under the front of the trailer, which is under the bedroom closet.
Rather than keeping a hamper for dirty clothes alongside the clean clothes in the closet, I decided to make a laundry chute.
While driving through the middle of nowhere Texas, I noticed several cars slow down while passing our trailer. We stopped at a rest stop along the way I did a walk around… and I found the trailer wheel well covers were both very loose.
Before we left Phoenix, I spent some time crawling under our trailer inspecting its brakes, suspension, and axles. Until now, we had only hauled our house for a few very short trips, so thankfully things were still fairly clean down there. The trailer has an electric brake system on all four tires. One of the first things I noticed was the electrical feeds to these brakes were not protected in any way, and they could rub on the metal surfaces: a potentially dangerous situation down the road. I purchased plastic wire loom and wire ties to cover and protect the wires. …
Read moreHave you checked your brakes? You should stop and read this if you can.
I know it's August and we haven't had to think about our furnace in months, but winter is just around the corner. It was time to do some maintenance. Much like moving into a sticks-and-bricks home, there is always something to work on. Last winter we were having periodic issues with our furnace not lighting, especially on the coldest nights. I checked the air intake and exhaust ports to make sure there were no blockages, since bees and wasps like to make their homes there from time to time. The other appliances that use propane fuel (stove, hot water heater, …

Janey will be 11 soon, and I've been reflecting on what 11 is like for typical kids, what 11 was like for me. It's not the easiest age for any girl, I don't think. It's typically the start of middle school years, around the start of puberty and of girl on girl meanness and on starting to notice boys, the age of questioning your parents and figuring out who you are. I think a lot about ways that life with Janey is, all at the same time, tougher and the same as and better than with most almost 11 girls.
The tougher part is quite obvious, of course. It's a lot of what I write about. It's tough to have a girl her age who isn't usefully toilet-trained, who is minimally verbal, who has no academic skills, who screams and bites herself when she's upset. It's terrifying, as we found out, to have a child who can't tell you the most basic things that are wrong physically---who can have a burst appendix for days that even doctors at a top notch hospital can't easily detect. It's sad to not ever really know what Janey's life at school is like. It's very hard that she doesn't have friends. It's heartbreaking that her future is not going to include marriage or a career or children. All that is, putting it mildly, tough.
Some parts of Janey at this age are really not that different than having any almost 11 girl. That hit me this past weekend at the beach. Janey loves the beach, and she ran in and out of the waves and picked up shells and just had fun in a way that was truly not that different than anyone else her age. Of course we had to keep an eye on her, but we would be keeping an eye on a typical girl that age in a public place. Her enjoyment of the beach was not because of her autism, or despite her autism---it was just enjoyment. When we all sit down to eat Chinese food or pizza, she is no different than any sister in a three kid family. She grabs her share and we all gobble down. There are moments when I look at the three kids in the back of the car and think "There's my family!" and don't think for a minute about the autism. That might not seem like a big deal to most people, but it's a wonderful kind of ordinariness to me.
And there are the parts of Janey at this age that are better than what I think life would be like with a typical almost 11. Yesterday after school, I put on some Beatles while I did dishes. Janey was in the kitchen with me, and she delighted in the music. She delighted to such an extent that she was truly in a state of bliss. We listened together to "In My Life" 5 times, as she kept hitting repeat, and as tears came to my eyes, she hugged me over and over. Then we danced to "Birthday", the theme song of her shared birthday with Freddy. I thought about this birthday to come, when my baby will be 11 and her brother Fred will be a legal adult, 18. I thought of the moments of joy with Janey, and how she will in some ways always be my sweet little girl. The joy with Janey is pure and overwhelming when it happens. Those are the moments that keep us going.

Cary Medical Center honors life of graphic designer
CARIBOU, Maine — Cary Medical Center recently started displaying an art exhibit featuring the work of Tim Finnemore, an artist who, in the early 1980s, became a graphic designer for the new Cary Medical Center facility after it moved from Lyndon Street to Van Buren Road.
Upon becoming the new graphic designer, one of his first priorities was to create a new logo for the municipally managed hospital.
He presented the initial logo redesign in 1982, which emphasized the name "CARY" in a bold and recognizable image inspired by hospital founder Dr. Jefferson Cary.
Finnemore continued to create art for the hospital and as part of his duties he created a drawing of a chickadee as part of the hospital's regular newsletter.
"The bird was actually on another publication at first," said Cary CEO Kris Doody, "and Jack McCormack, our previous CEO, saw it and wanted to put it on the logo. So Tim combined the two and now it sits atop the word Cary."
As he worked the bird into the logo, perched atop the massive, bold letters, he considered the chickadee's struggle against a brutal Aroostook winter as a fitting metaphor for the unique challenges the hospital faced throughout its years.
"It's a very resilient bird," said Doody. "It survives in the harshest conditions all year long. This winter, I'd been watching chickadees more and more and they truly are an amazing, resilient bird. Just like us."
Unfortunately, Finnemore passed away in 2001, however his artwork remains an important part of the hospital's identity. This year, in celebration of the hospital's 95th anniversary, Finnemore's family lent roughly 15 of his paintings to the facility to display in honor of his life and work.
Kathy Finnemore, his wife, said that Finnemore had been painting all of his life, since as early as 5 years old, and that his work spans a myriad of mediums from acrylics and watercolor to sketches and carvings.
Kathy said the hospital contacted her for the 95th anniversary and that many of the paintings she and her daughter Kate chose were because they were painted in the month of May, which not only is the month of Hospital Week but also that of Tim's birthday.
Cary Community Relations Director Bill Flagg, who worked with Finnemore when he was first hired by Cary, said, "Tim was very familiar with corporate logos and studied a lot of branding," at the time of the hospital logo's design.
"He would show me the yellow pages of the phone book and point out logos for IBM and Sears," Flagg recalled. "He explained that those companies create a very bold logo with their name, which is critical. He wanted to use very heavy, blocked lettering for the Cary logo, and now if you put our name against a lot of other logos, it really stands out."
Nearly 40 years after Finnemore presented the preliminary sketch, the iconic logo remains unchanged.

China – Flower Blossoms & Peony
Festival Tour
April 8th to April 22nd, 2008
April 18: Suzhou
Suzhou, the garden city of China. In the morning enjoyed a Grand Canal
cruise. We visited the city which is anciently regarded as one of China's
most scenic places and also referred to as "Venice of the East." Watch – you
might spot people doing their washing on the nearby Taihu rocks. Suzhou is
located in the south of the Yangtze River Delta and borders Taihu Lake to
the west and Shanghai to the east. Thus it is a water city as well as a
famous historical and cultural center with a history going back 2,500 years.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were some two hundred famous gardens
there, and the city was renowned both in China and abroad for this place
that inspired the great East Asian garden tradition.
We saw the Garden of Master Nets, a garden designed for harmony and
tranquility during the Song Dynasty (960 - 1279). This garden is reputed to
be the most well-preserved in Suzhou and should not be missed. It has three
distinct sections. The integral buildings afford you access to any part of
the garden from each of their rooms. This type of garden was built for
relaxation and to entertain guests. It is found on the world cultural
heritage site list and often remains open at night so that visitors can
attend theatrical performances and enjoy night views of the garden. See the
children? They are there enjoying a little picnic ... pure innocence…
Then a visit to the Lion Grove Garden
and a visit to a silk factory where I think everyone bought something…the
silk comforters went over really well…as you can see. They also got to try
their hand at pulling the silk strands for the comforters – they were
extremely surprised at how strong those strands were.

As result the phone entered in Bootloop, but not a normal bootloop, on the screen start appearing some crazy interferences and then the phone boot up, but the screen not. The phone made sounds and the touchscreen work, but the screen was black/off. I've managed to solve the problem with an unbrick method, but now i have a huge problem: the screen, on the rigth side, from the top to the botton has 6/7 black lines. I have no idea how to solve this and if is a hardware problem ...

Sadly the old usual suspects that would come up to the cabin and get crazier drunk than any other holiday including St Pudfuck day are too old or busy ( On a Sunday morning? Seriously? Going to praise Jesus somewhere? ) so I'm going to Chicago instead to get drunk with my daughter.
Any good bar suggestions for North Clark Street or Lincoln Park?

William Stewart Simkins Papers, 1862-1876, 1889-1929, 1947-1962, 1980, Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, The University of Texas at Austin.
A long-time professor at the University of Texas School of Law, William Stewart Simkins (1842-1929) originated many law school traditions. Simkins, a South Carolina native, attended the Citadel and as a Confederate soldier participated in firing on federal forces at Fort Sumter in April 1861. After the Civil War, Simkins moved to Monticello, Florida, with his brother, Eldred J. Simkins. There they organized the Florida Ku Klux Klan, an event which Simkins recalled in his Thanksgiving speech of 1914, and which subsequently was reprinted in the UT alumni magazine
Simkins and his brother moved to Texas in 1873. William Simkins practiced law in Corsicana, Texas, until 1885, when he began a practice with his brother in Dallas. In 1894, he was an appellant in two cases heard before the U.S. Supreme Court.
In 1899, Simkins joined the law faculty of the University of Texas. The law school mascot, an imaginary creature called "Peregrinus," originated from a Simkins equity class lecture. In about 1900, a drowsy student confessed his ignorance of a Roman legal term and guessed that "Peregrinus" must be an animal. Simkins was subsequently referred to as "Old Peregrinoos." Many of Simkins' publications became standard law school textbooks, including his texts on equity, contracts, estates, and titles.
Simkins married Lizzie Ware in 1870; they had five children. After becoming a law school professor emeritus in 1923, Simkins continued to lecture weekly until his death in 1929.
In 2010, the University of Texas governing board removed Simkins' name from a dormitory named after him in the 1950s, citing his involvement in the KKK. The dormitory was renamed "Creekside Residence Hall."

Miles Evans, Ryan Doherty "Exactly Where" They Want to Be: Sunday's AVP Hermosa Beach Finals
"This," Miles Evans said in the immediate moments after stunning David Lee and Sean Rosenthal in the AVP Hermosa semifinals, "is exactly where I want to be."
Had you asked him not 10 minutes before, his answer would have varied quite differently. He and Ryan Doherty, in their first tournament as partners, were down 10-14 at the freeze. Worse, they were down to Rosenthal, Hermosa's very own. When Rosenthal came on SANDCAST earlier in the year, and Tri Bourne mentioned that many of the top teams in the U.S. would be in Tokyo instead, and therefore missing Hermosa, he rubbed his hands together and grinned.
So everyone would be gone, huh?
Hermosa, then, would be Rosie's time.
For all of the fanfare Superman justifiably receives in Hermosa, he had never won a tournament at his home beach.
So no, being down 10-14 at the freeze, to the most well-loved beach volleyball player in the South Bay, in the first tournament with a new partner, is likely not exactly where Evans wanted to be on Sunday late morning. Things change. Swiftly. Massively. And, sometimes, microscopically.
Three times did Evans survive on shots that either missed by a quarter inch or landed in bounds by possibly less than that. Rosenthal missed an ace for the match by a distance shorter than one of Evans' mustache hairs. Doherty mis-hit a line shot that somehow sputtered and tumbled its way to the back millimeter of the line, again saving the match by a breath-holding margin.
That's the way these things go sometimes. And sometimes, too, there is no doubt left. Doherty's block on Lee to seal the comeback, an epic one, to be sure, and further evidence that this scoring freeze on match point is indeed quite a delight for the fans, was in by a mile.
"Is trying to stay on your feet an emotion?" Doherty said. "I don't know if that one counts, but it's pretty warm out here and we're working real hard. The good thing about playing with Miles is that he's like the energizer bunny, hyping everything up. It makes it easy to get fired up for the one or two points that you needed. They missed some balls by a quarter of an inch and that was enough for us."
Enough to get them into Sunday's finals, at 2 p.m. in Hermosa Beach. Not a bad showing for Evans, in just his second AVP main draw. Not a bad showing for the new partnership.
A partnership that, against a fair amount of odds, is exactly where it wants to be.

In my position as a graduate college admissions specialist, I find few applicants are slam-dunk admissions. It usually takes transcripts, letters of recommendation, essays, and/or tests to gain a comprehensive understanding of an applicant's desire to attain a graduate degree as well as their predicted success in their chosen program.
Here are a few of the common statements I hear from prospective graduate students regarding the data and documents required to process their applications.
"My undergraduate GPA isn't high enough for graduate education."
Most reputable graduate schools are looking for applicants with B (3.00) or higher undergraduate grade point averages. Depending on the undergraduate degree awarded, and graduate program applied to, there may also be prerequisite courses and specific GPA thresholds.
For example: An undergraduate grade of C in Macroeconomics might not disqualify an applicant for a master's program in communication but it could keep an MBA applicant from moving forward.
Universities do not want to set up students to fail so they decide on core knowledge that must be acquired prior to starting a particular program to better ensure applicant success.
Some graduate programs only consider the final 60 hours of undergraduate GPA for admittance. Your cumulative GPA might be below 3.0 but your final 60 hours could be 3.8. Many of us failed to take college seriously until our junior year when our major classes kicked in. Some graduate schools understand this and will not penalize students for failing to fully apply themselves while enrolled in general education courses.
If your cumulative undergraduate GPA is shy of 3.0 don't give up yet. Read on.
"I'm terrible at standardized tests and I don't want to pay $300 to fail the GRE or GMAT."
Many graduate colleges have either dropped the GRE and/or GMAT or offer test or fee waivers to qualified students. For example: a master's program in education might not require the GRE but an MBA program might require the GMAT.
However, just because a program requires a certain test doesn't mean they won't waive it. Some MBA programs will waive the GMAT requirement for professionals with at least five years of experience in a business setting. Graduate schools may also provide testing fee waiver codes for otherwise qualified applicants who can prove a financial need.
I have spoken with several graduate program directors who require a certain test for admittance but do not require a minimum score. Before scheduling a test, check with the university to make sure you know the minimum score required. The minimum score may slide up or down depending on other factors considered in the application.
For instance, taking the required test and earning a superior score may work in your favor if you are angling for a GPA waiver. On the other hand, a poor score on a standardized test might be overcome by a high GPA.
"I don't write well and know I will embarrass myself if I'm required to submit an essay or personal statement as part of the application process."
My recommendation is to keep it simple. Make sure your prose is tight, concise, and fulfills all the requirements set forth by the institution (i.e. meets the minimum word count, addresses the questions posed, etc.). Tell your story. Write the essay and let it sit for a day or two, then pull it out and edit it. Once you feel good about what you've written show it to a friend who writes well. Request an honest critique of your essay and use the advice to make improvements. An essay or personal statement might not make the difference in whether or not you're accepted, but it could.
Once again, this may be a prime opportunity to overcome deficiencies in other areas of your application. A borderline GPA may be overcome by a solid essay.
"My GPA and test scores are okay but taken together my application is still unimpressive."
Many universities offer what's called a conditional or provisional admission. For example: your GPA is too low for a standard admission but you commit to taking an undergraduate class over to increase your GPA during your first semester of graduate coursework. When you have met the requirements of the conditional or provisional admission you are then fully admitted to the program.
There are some graduate programs I have learned of recently that do not vet potential applicants beyond the submission of an undergraduate transcript. As long as the student holds a bachelor's degree they may sign up and pay for graduate level classes. After successfully completing a certain number of courses (usually two or three) the institution will offer full admittance to the program.
I have also worked with graduate program directors who will consider extreme circumstances out of the student's control when evaluating applications. Life events such as serious health problems, the death of a close family member, natural disasters, etc. might cause a decision maker to offer you a second chance. Universities want students to succeed on their own merits. If you fight your way back from a major setback in life, the dedication and hard work it took to get yourself back on track could bode well for your application.
Graduate admissions decisions are made by human beings considering multiple criteria in an effort to make sure applicants are given a fair review and equal opportunity to excel. Don't sell yourself short just because you may not be the "perfect" candidate.
Perfection is unattainable. The people evaluating your application materials know this. Take a leap and apply. Provide your information and tell your story. I have yet to meet a person who regrets completing their master's degree.
One of my previous posts does a good job of laying out several key benefits of completing a graduate degree. Three Solid Reasons Graduate Degrees Pay Off
Do the smart thing and believe in yourself.

The suspect in a Texas party shooting that left eight people dead reportedly was unhappy that his estranged wife was moving on with her life after filing for divorce.
The incident took place when Spencer James Hight opened fire on a group of people attending a cookout hosted by his estranged wife, Meredith Hight, on Sunday, the New York Daily News reported.
According to reports Spencer Hight had crashed the event, which featured several of Meredith Hight's friends and colleagues.
Plano Police Chief Gregory W. Rushin explained that police were alerted to the incident when a concerned resident complained about multiple shots fired in West Spring Creek Parkway.
The responding officer arrived at the scene while the shooting was still in progress, the Daily News reported.
He reacted by shooting and killing the suspect but was unable to save the eight victims, which included Meredith Hight.
Meredith Hight's mother has since spoken out about the incident, claiming that Spencer Hight was upset that his estranged wife was moving on after filing for divorce earlier this year.
"It was officially 'out with the old and in with the new,'" Debbie Lane told WFAA on Tuesday. "It was her reclaiming her life, and she was thrilled to be doing that. It was the happiest she'd been in years."
She went on to say, "I think he saw our comfort, ease, and happiness... and her embracing new life, and resented it to the maximum and responded the way he did."
Debbie Lane said her daughter only admitted to having marriage problems when she filed for divorce in July.
"She told us he was an alcoholic and that she worked for two years to try and help him," she said.

Barnes' Notes on the New Testament
Chapter 22
Verse 1. Men, brethren, and fathers. This defence was addressed to
the Jews; and Paul commenced it with an expression of sincere respect
for them. Stephen began his defence with the same form of address.
See Barnes "Acts 7:2".
My defence. Against the charges brought against me. Those charges
were, that he had endeavoured to prejudice men everywhere against the
Jews, and the law, and the temple, Acts 21:28. In order to meet this
charge, Paul stated,
(1.) that he had been born a Jew, and had enjoyed all the advantages of a
Jewish education, Acts 22:3;
(2.) he recounted the circumstances of his conversion, and the reason why
he believed that he was called to preach the gospel, Acts 22:4-16;
(3.) he proceeded to state the reasons why he went among the Gentiles,
evidently designed to vindicate his conduct there, Acts 22:17-21; but
at this point, at the name Gentiles, his defence was interrupted by
the enraged multitude, and he was not permitted to proceed. What
would have been his defence, therefore, had he been suffered to
finish it, it is impossible to know with certainty. On another occasion,
however, he was permitted to make a similar defence, and perhaps to
complete the train of thought which he had purposed to pursue here. See
Acts 26.
{b} "Men" Acts 7:2
{c} "defence" 1 Peter 3:15
Verse 2. The Hebrew tongue. See Barnes "Acts 21:40".
Verse 3. Born in Tarsus. See Barnes "Acts 21:39".
Brought up in this city. In Jerusalem, sent there for the advantage
of more perfect instruction in the law.
At the feet of Gamaliel. As a scholar, or disciple of Gamaliel. The
phrase, to sit at the feet of one, is expressive of the condition of
disciple or learner. Comp. Deuteronomy 33:3; Luke 10:39. It is probable that the
expression arose from the fact that the learners occupied a lower place
seat than the teacher. The phrase is expressive of humility and a lower
condition. On the character and rank of Gamaliel,
See Barnes "Acts 5:34". Paul mentions his having been instructed in
this manner, in order to show that he was entitled to the full privilege
of the Jew, and that he had had every opportunity to become fully
acquainted with the nature of the law.
According to the perfect manner. \~kata akribeian\~. By strict diligence, or
exact care; or in the utmost rigour and severity of that instruction. No
pains were spared to make him understand and practise the law of Moses.
The law of the fathers. The law of our fathers; i.e., the law which
they received and handed down to us. Paul was a Pharisee; and the law in
which he had been taught was not only the written law of Moses, but the
traditional law which had been handed down from former times.
See Barnes "Matthew 3:6".
And was zealous towards God. Galatians 1:14. He had a constant burning
zeal for God and his law, which was expressed not only by scrupulous
adherence to its forms, but by persecuting all who opposed it,
Acts 22:4,5.
{d} "I am" Acts 21:39; 2 Corinthians 11:22; Philippians 3:5
{+} "verily" "Indeed"
{e} "Gamaliel" Acts 5:34
{f} "according" Acts 26:5
{++} "perfect manner" "exactness"
{g} "zealous" Galatians 1:14
{h} "ye all" Acts 21:20
Verse 4. And I persecuted, Acts 8:3.
This way. Those who were of this mode of worshipping God; that is,
Christians. See Barnes "Acts 9:2".
Unto the death. Intending to put them to death, He did not probably
put any to death himself, but he committed them to prison, he sought their
lives, he was the agent employed in arresting them; and when they were put
to death, he tells us that he gave his voice against them, Acts 26:10;
that is, he joined in and approved of their condemnation.
Delivering into prisons, etc. Acts 8:3
{i} "persecuted" Acts 8:3
{&} "way" "Doctrine"
Verse 5. As also the High Priest, etc. See Barnes "Acts 9:2".
All the estate of the elders. Greek, All the presbytery; that is, the
whole body of the sanhedrim, or great council of the nation.
Unto the brethren. The Jewish brethren, who were at Damascus. Paul
here speaks as a Jew, and regards his countrymen as his brethren.
{|} "doth" "Can"
{&} "estate of the elders" "Body"
{k} "Damascus" Acts 9:2
Verse 6. As I made my journey. As I was on my journey.
About noon. Acts 26:13. "At mid-day." This circumstance is omitted
by Luke in account in Acts 9. Paul mentions it, as being the more
remarkable since it occurred at mid-day, to show that he was not deluded
by any meteoric or natural appearances, which usually occur at night.
See Barnes "Acts 9:3" and Acts 9:4-7
{**} "journey" "journeyed"
Verse 7. No Barnes text on this verse.
Verse 8. No Barnes text on this verse.
See Barnes "Acts 9:3" and Acts 9:4-7.
Verse 9. No Barnes text on this verse.
See Barnes "Acts 9:3", and Acts 9:4-7.
Verse 10. No Barnes text on this verse.
See Barnes "Acts 9:3", Acts 9:4-7.
{++} "of all things" "concerning"
Verse 11. The gory of that light. The splendour, the intense brillancy
of the light. See this and its effect explained See Barnes "Acts 9:8".
{+++} "the glory" "because of"
Verse 12. See Barnes "Acts 9:17"; See Barnes "Acts 9:18"
{m} "Aninias" Acts 10:22
{n} "good report" Acts 10:22; 1 Timothy 3:7; Hebrews 11:2
Verse 13. See Barnes "Acts 9:17"; See Barnes "Acts 9:18".
Verse 14. Shouldest know his will. His will in the plan of salvation,
and in regard to your future life.
And see that Just One. The Messiah. See Barnes "Acts 3:14". As Paul
was to be an apostle. and as it was the peculiar office of an apostle to
bear witness to the person and deeds of the Lord Jesus,
See Barnes "Acts 1:21"; See Barnes "Acts 1:22", it was necessary that
he should see him, that thus he might be a competent witness of the
Shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. Shouldest hear and obey his
{a} "see" Acts 21:18; 1 Corinthians 9:1; 15:8
{b} "Just One" Acts 3:14; 7:52
{c} "voice" 1 Corinthians 11:23; Galatians 1:12
Verse 15. For thou shalt be his witness, etc. As an apostle to
testify to all men that the Messiah has come, that he has died, that he
has risen, and that he is the Saviour of the world.
Of what thou hast seen and heard. Of the remarkable proof which has
been furnished you of the Divine mission and character of the Lord Jesus.
{d} "thou shalt" Acts 23:11; 16:16
Verse 16. And now, why tarriest thou? Why dost thou delay, or wait
any longer? These words are not recorded by Luke in Acts 9, where he
has given an account of the conversion of Paul; but there is nothing here
contradictory to his statement.
And wash away thy sins. Receive baptism, as an act expressive of the
washing away of sins. It cannot be intended that the external rite of
baptism was sufficient to make the soul pure, but that it was an ordinance
divinely appointed as expressive of the washing away of sins, or of
purifying the heart. Comp. Hebrews 10:22. Sinners are represented
in the Scriptures as defiled or polluted by sin. To wash away the
sins denotes the purifying of the soul from this polluted influence,
1 Corinthians 6:11; Revelation 1:5; 7:14; Isaiah 1:16; Psalms 51:2,7.
Calling on the name of the Lord. For pardon and sanctification.
Romans 10:13, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved." It was proper that this calling on the name of the Lord should be
connected with the ordinance of baptism. That ordinance was expressive of
a purifying which the Lord only could produce. It is proper that the rite
of baptism should be attended with extraordinary prayer; and that he who
is to be baptized should make it the occasion of peculiar and very solemn
religious exercises. The external rite will avail nothing without the
pardoning mercy of God.
{*} "tarriest" "delayest"
{e} "wash away" Hebrews 10:22; 1 Peter 3:21
{f} "calling" Romans 10:13; 1 Corinthians 1:2
Verse 17. When I was come again to Jerusalem. That is, three years
after his conversion. See Galatians 1:17,18.
While I prayed in the temple. Paul, like the other converts to
Christianity from among the Jews, would naturally continue to offer his
devotions in the temple. We meet with repeated instances of their
continuing to comply with the customs of the Jewish people.
I was in a trance. Greek, Ecstasy. See Barnes "Acts 10:10".
Perhaps he here refers to what he elsewhere mentions, 2 Corinthians 12:1-5,
which he calls "visions and revelations of the Lord." In that place he
mentions his being "caught up to the third heaven," 2 Corinthians 12:2, and
"into paradise," where he heard words which it was "not possible for a man
to utter," 2 Corinthians 12:4. It is not certain, however, that he refers in
this place to that remarkable occurrence. The narrative would rather imply
that the Lord Jesus appeared to him in the temple in a remarkable manner,
in a vision, and gave him a direct command to go to the Gentiles. Paul had
now stated the evidence of his conversion, which appears to have been
satisfactory to them: at least they made no objection to his statement; he
had shown by his being in the temple his respect for their institutions;
and he now proceeds to show that in his other conduct he had been directed
by the same high authority by which he had been called into the ministry,
and that the command had been given to him in their own temple and in
their own city.
{g} "in a trance" 2 Corinthians 12:2
Verse 18. And saw him. Evidently the Lord Jesus, Acts 22:14.
He had received his commission from him, and he now received a distinct
command to go to the Gentiles.
For they will not receive. The inhabitants of Jerusalem, probably
including both Jews and Christians. The Jews would not listen to him,
because he had become, in their view, an apostate, and they would hate and
persecute him. The Christians would not be likely to receive him, for
they would remember his former persecutions, and would be suspicious of
him, because he had been so long in Arabia, and had not sooner connected
himself with them. See Barnes "Acts 9:26", "And when Saul
was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples;
but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a

Verse 19. And I said, Lord. This shows that it was the Lord Jesus,
whom Paul saw in a trance in the temple. The term Lord is usually
applied to him in the Acts. See Barnes "Acts 1:24".
They know. Christians know; and they will therefore be not likely to
receive to their fellowship their former enemy and persecutor.
Beat in every synagogue. Beating, or scourging, was often done in the
synagogue. See Barnes "Matthew 10:17". Comp. Acts 26:11. It was
customary for those who were converted to Christianity still to
meet with the Jews in their synagogues, and to join with them in
their worship.
{i} "they know" Acts 22:4
Verse 20. The blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed. Acts 7:58;
Acts 8:1.
I also was standing by. Acts 7:58.
And consenting unto his death. Acts 8:1.
And kept the raiment. The outer robes or garments which were usually
laid aside, when they engaged in running or labour. Acts 7:58. All this
showed, that though Paul was not engaged in stoning Stephen, yet he was
with them in spirit, and fully accorded with what they did. These
circumstances are mentioned here by him, as reasons why he knew that
he would not be received by Christians as one of their number, and why it
was necessary, therefore, for him to turn to the Gentile world.

Jerusalem would not receive him.
Far hence. Paul travelled far in the heathen nations. A large part of
his time in the ministry was spent in remote countries, and in the most
distant regions then known. Romans 15:19.

Verse 22. And they gave him audience. They heard him patiently.
Unto this word. The word Gentiles.
Away with such a fellow. Greek, Take such a man from the earth; i.e.,
put him to death. It is language of strong indignation and abhorrence. The
reasons of their indignation were not that they supposed that the Gentiles
could not be brought into covenant with God, for they would themselves
compass sea and land to make one proselyte; but they were,
(1.) that they believed that Paul taught that they might be saved
without conforming to the law of Moses; and,
(2.) his speech implied that the Jews were more hardened than the
Gentiles, and that he had a greater prospect of success in bringing them
to God than he had in regard to the Jews.

Verse 23. Cast off their clothes. Their outer garments. Probably they
did it now intending to stone him, Acts 7:58.
And threw dust into the air. As expressive of their abhorrence and
indignation. This was a striking exhibition of rage and vindictive malice.
Paul was guarded by Roman soldiers, so that they could not injure him;
and their only way of expressing their wrath was by menaces and threats,
and by these tokens of furious indignation. Thus Shimei expressed his
indignation against David by cursing him, and throwing stones at him, and
casting dust, 2 Samuel 16:13.
{++} "clothes" "mantles"
Verse 24. The castle. The tower of Antonia. He would be there
removed entirely from the wrath of the Jews.
Should be examined. \~anetazesyai\~. The word examine with us commonly
means to inquire, to question, to search for, or to look carefully into a
subject. The word here used is commonly applied to metals, whose
nature is tested or examined by fire; and then it means to subject to
torture or torments, in order to extort a confession, where persons were
accused of crime. It was often resorted to among the ancients. The usual
mode has been by the rack; but various kinds of torments have been
invented in order to extort confessions of guilt from those who were
accused. The whole practice has been one of the most flagrant
violations of justice, and one of the foulest blots on human nature.
In this case, the tribune saw that Paul was accused violently by the
Jews; he was ignorant of the Hebrew language, and had not probably
understood the address of Paul; he supposed from the extraordinary
excitement that Paul must have been guilty of some flagrant
offence, and he therefore resolved to subject him to torture, to extort
from him a confession.
By scourging. By the scourge or whip. Comp. Hebrews 11:36. This was
one mode of torture, in order to extort a secret from those who were

and scourge a Roman citizen. See Barnes "Acts 16:36".

Verse 26. No Barnes text on this verse.
Verse 27. No Barnes text on this verse.
Verse 28. With a great sum obtained I this freedom. This freedom, or
privilege of Roman citizenship. From this, it would seem that the
privilege of being a Roman citizen might be purchased. Perhaps he
refers, however, to the expenses which were necessarily attendant
in passing through the proper forms of becoming a Roman citizen.
The argument of the tribune in this case is this:--"I obtained this
privilege at a great price. Whence did you, Paul, thus poor and
persecuted, obtain the means of becoming a Roman citizen?". Paul
had informed him that he was a native of Tarsus, Acts 21:39;
and the chief captain supposed that that was not a free city, and
that Paul could not have derived the privilege of citizenship from
his birth.
But I was free born. I was born a Roman citizen, or I am such in
virtue of my birth. Various opinions have been formed on the question, in
what way or for what reasons Paul was entitled to the privilege of a Roman
citizen. Some have supposed that Tarsus was a Roman colony, and that he
thus became a Roman citizen. But of this there does not appear to be
sufficient proof. Pliny says, (5, 27,) that it was a free city. The
city of Tarsus was endowed with the privileges of a free city by Augustus
Caesar, after it had been greatly afflicted and oppressed by
wars.--Appian. Dio Chrysost says to the people of Tarsus, "He (Augustus)
has conferred on you everything which any one could bestow on his friends
and companions--a country, (i.e. a free country,) laws, honour, authority
over the river (Cydranus,) and the neighbouring sea." Free cities were
permitted in the Roman empire to use their own laws and customs, to have
their own magistrates, and they were free from being subject to Roman
guards. They were required only to acknowledge the supremacy and authority
of the Roman people, and to aid them in their wars. Such a city was
Tarsus; and having been born there, Paul was entitled to these privileges
of a free man. Many critics have supposed that this privilege of Roman
citizenship had been conferred on some of the ancestors of Paul, in
consequence of some distinguished military service. Such a conferring of
the rights of citizenship was not unusual, and possibly might have
occurred in this case. But there is no direct historical proof of it;
and the former fact, that he was born in a free city, will amply
account for his affirmation that he was free-born.
Verse 29. Then straightway. Immediately. They saw that by scourging
him they would have violated the Roman law, and exposed themselves to its
Which should have examined him. Who were about to torture him by
scourging him, Acts 22:24.
Because he had bound him. Preparatory to scourging him. The act of
binding a Roman citizen, with such an intent, untried and uncondemned,
was unlawful. Prisoners who were to be scourged were usually bound by the
Romans to a pillar or post; and a similar custom prevailed among the Jews.
That it was unlawful to bind a man, with this intent, who was uncondemned,
appears from an express declaration in Cicero, (against Vetres.) "It is a
heinous sin to bind a Roman citizen; it is wickedness to beat him; it
is next to parricide to kill him; and what shall I say to crucify him?"
{+} "straightway" "immediately"
{1} "examined"
Verse 30. On the morrow. After he had arrested Paul. Paul was still
a prisoner; and if suffered to go at liberty among the Jews, his life
would have been in danger.
And commanded the chief priests, etc. Summoned a meeting of the
sanhedrim, or great council of the nation. He did this, as he was
prevented from scourging Paul, in order to know what he had done, and that
he might learn from the Jews themselves the nature of the charge against
him. This was necessary for the safety of Paul, and for the ends of
justice. This should have been done without any attempt to torture him in
order to extort a confession.
And brought Paul down. From the elevated castle or tower of Antonia.
The council assembled commonly in the house of the high priest.
And set him before them. He brought the prisoner to their bar, that
they might have an opportunity to accuse him, and that thus the chief
captain might learn the real nature of the charge against him.

Dollar prices were steady in Asian trade on Wednesday, holding onto most of its gains made after strong U.S. retail sales data kept alive the chance of another Federal Reserve interest rate hike this year.
Minutes from the Fed's July meeting will be released later on Wednesday, and will be watched for clues on the timing of rate hikes as well as whether the Fed is likely to announce a reduction in its balance sheet at its September meeting.
"I can't expect anything hawkish from the minutes," said Masafumi Yamamoto, chief forex strategist at Mizuho Securities in Tokyo.
"In the end, I think the Fed will raise interest rates as early as December this year, and this is not fully priced in the market."
He said there was a still a chance for further dollar gains if market participants began to price in higher probability of a rate increase. Fed fund futures are now showing a slightly better-than-even chance for a hike this year.
The dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of six major rival currencies, was flat on the day at 93.835, well above its 15-month low of 92.548 plumbed earlier this month. Easing fears of armed conflict between the United States and North Korea also prompted investors to buy back riskier assets they had sold last week as fiery rhetoric between the two countries escalated.
On Tuesday, state media said North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has postponed a missile strike toward the U.S. territory of Guam, which prompted investors to pare holdings of perceived safe-haven assets such as the yen, the Swiss franc and U.S. Treasuries.
Higher U.S. yields bolstered the dollar. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose to 2.267 percent in Asia from its U.S. close of 2.266 percent on Tuesday and 2.218 percent on Monday.
The dollar was slightly lower against its Japanese counterpart at 110.65 yen, but was well above a four-month low of 108.72 touched on Friday after disappointingly cool consumer inflation data.
"It seems that the tension on the Korean peninsula is easing, and the short-covering of the dollar-yen is happening, fueled by the better-than-expected U.S. data," Yamamoto said.
U.S. retail sales jumped 0.6 percent in July, handily beating economists'estimate of a 0.4 percent reading, to post their biggest gain in seven months as consumers bought more cars and increased discretionary spending.
An unexpectedly strong rise in an index on manufacturing activity in New York state from the New York Federal Reserve also cheered dollar bulls. The index rose to 25.2 points in August, its highest level since September 2014.
The euro was steady at $1.1740, after falling as low as $1.1687 overnight, its lowest since late last month.
"Some people think the euro may be the best option over the dollar, but I'm skeptical of that," said Masashi Murata, senior currency strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman.
The eurozone economy has strengthened, partly due to a relatively weak euro, so eventually the European Central Bank will grow uncomfortable with a rising currency, he said.
"The current levels look okay for the ECB, but how about $1.20? I think the ECB would dislike such a situation, with a weakening U.S. dollar," Murata said.

The ABC brings word that the Former deputy chief minister Ted Quinlan has returned, like Cincinnatus from his plow, to run the troubled ACT branch of the ALP.
- Mr Quinlan says he hopes to help the party get through some difficult issues such as the sale of the Labor clubs.
"Well I think it's just a matter of holding down the position and sorting out a few of the current issues which the party's quite capable of sorting but just to have someone in the chair promptly who's got a little bit of background, a little bit of experience to see a couple of the issues sorted out," he said.
In the longer term Ted says he wants a young thruster in the seat.

Pregnancy rumours
Ben Pol's engagement comes a few days after Anerlisa denied being pregnant.
The pregnancy rumour was sparked after Bonfire Adventure's Simon Kabu shared a photo alongside his wife Sara and Anerlisa, who had a bulging tummy.
"Congratulations @iambenpol and @anerlisa. With permission baby reveal manenos," Kabu wrote.
"I am here minding my own business then I get a lot of DMs saying Congratulations to me. Can somebody tell me what the Congratulations are all about?" posed Anerlisa.
Congratulations to the couple.
