This invention relates to filter devices for removing organic contaminants from water either in the home or on a larger scale in a plant operated by industry or by a utility.
The problem of organic contaminants in domestic water supplies is well recognized at the present time. Some of these contaminants are quite dangerous although they may be present in drinking water in only a minute amount. It will be appreciated that it is difficult for authorities and scientists to determine the long-term harmful effects, if any, of these contaminants on human beings, particularily in view of the fact that there are a wide variety of such materials and the particular contaminants in any given drinking supply can vary from one community to another.
In an article entitled "Water Filters" published in Consumer Reports, February 1983, a number of existing water filtration systems and devices are described. It is recognized in this article that the known filters can help improve the taste or smell of the drinking water but not all are effective at controlling more dangerous contaminants. According to the same article more than 700 organic chemicals have been identified in drinking water and some of them are suspected cancer-causing agents.
Activated-carbon water filters are widely used to clean up water in bottling plants. On a more modest scale, carbon filters are used in the home to filter tap water. Some domestic water filters are attached to the faucet of the sink while others are installed in the cold-water line which may lead to a faucet.
Filters using carbon only may be unable to remove some dangerous organic compounds that are present in drinking water or drinking supplies. As an example of contaminants that exist in drinking water, the following list of organic compounds and the quantity thereof was published in Homemakers magazine in March 1983. The list was compiled by the organization known as Pollution Probe and it is based on a sample of water from Lake Ontario taken at a Toronto, Ontario location.

Filters that employ filter materials other than or in addition to activated carbon are known. For example U.S. Pat. No. 4,305,826 issued Dec. 15, 1981 to Moses describes and illustrates a multi-layered filter for softening and filtering water. The first layer comprises particles of activated carbon, the second layer consists of beads of an organic ion cation exchange resin, the third layer is made up of granules of sodium aluminum silicate, and the fourth layer consists of filter sand. The layers are arranged vertically in a tank. The second and third layers of this filter act to soften the water. In addition the zeolite granuals in the third layer according to the patent will filter out most particles in the water whose size is greater than 20 microns.
Earlier U.S. Pat. No. 3,266,973 issued Aug. 16, 1966 to Richard P. Crowley describes a method of preparing paper stock which has an affinity for particular materials. During the manufacturing process finely divided zeolite crystaline molecular sieve particles are added to the pulp which is then formed into a sheet and dried. The product described in the patent can be used as filter paper capable of removing particles, gases and the like of a particular size and dimension from a fluid stream. In one embodiment the molecular sieve particles are employed in combination with water insoluble ion exchange resins to incorporate a combination of ion exchange and adsorbent properties into the fibrous material.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a filter device having at least three different filtering materials, which device is able to remove a wide range of organic materials from water.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a filter device that is easy to construct and that can be produced at a relatively low cost.
Devices constructed in accordance with the invention can be developed and designed for home or domestic use or for use by industry or utilities. Because the purchase cost of the domestic device is reasonably low, the homemaker need not regenerate the filter materials although this could be done with a large filter system such as one that might be used by a commercial operation or a utility.
According to the present invention a filter device for removing organic contaminants from water comprises a filter housing having an inlet for water at one end and an outlet for water at an opposite end and three layers of filter material. The first layer comprises a hydrophobic, organophilic silicalite capable of functioning as a molecular sieve and of adsorbing molecules as large as benzene. The second layer comprises a type I strong base anion exchange resin of high porosity and high capacity while the third layer is activated carbon. The three layers are arranged in series in the housing.
In a particularly preferred embodiment the first layer is S-115 silicalite, a crystalline silica material produced by Union Carbide. The second layer is Dowex-11 resin which is a copolymeric matrix made from styrene divinylbenzene.
Further features and advantages will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a side view of one embodiment of the filter device;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II--II of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating the flow dependency of the filter of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1 which is an illustration of one preferred embodiment of the present invention designed for domestic use, a filter device 10 for removing organic contaminants from water includes an elongate filter housing 12. This housing includes a relatively long, tubular main section and two end caps 16 and 18. Each end cap may be provided with an intregal half inch nipple 20, 22 adapted for connection in a cold water supply line such as one supplying a faucet where drinking water is obtained. In the illustrated embodiment the nipple 20 forms an inlet for water while the nipple 22 forms an outlet. Thus water leaving the outlet 22 would be substantially decontaminated by the filter device and would be available to be dispensed out of a faucet.
The illustrated filter housing can be made from standard plumbing parts and this permits the cost to be kept relatively low. Both the main section 14 and the end caps can be constructed from inexpensive polyvinyl chloride One of the end caps such as the cap 18 can be permanently glued to the main setion of a well known manner. Preferably the other cap 16 is removable in order that the contents of the filter device can be removed for regeneration or replacement. In the illustrated embodiment the cap 16 is simply threaded onto the threaded end of the main section 14 and thus can be removed by simply rotating the end cap relative to the main section. In one preferred embodiment intended for domestic use the main section is constructed of one and a half inch diameter pipe and the overall length of the device measured between the outer ends of the two nipples is approximately 26".
Preferably in order to prevent the possible escape of filter material out the outlet 22, a screen member or perforated disk 24 is provided in the housing adjacent to the inner end of the nipple 22.
The present filter device is constructed with at least three layers of filter material indicated at 26, 28 and 30. The layer closest to the inlet is composed of a hydrophobic, organophilic silicalite capable of functioning as a molecular sieve and of adsorbing molecules as large as benzene. This material forms the thinnest layer of the three. The second layer comprises a type I, strong base anion exchange resin of high porosity and high capacity. Although this layer is substantially thicker than the first layer, in a preferred embodiment its length L2 is considerably less than the length L3 of the third layer 30. The third layer is composed of relatively inexpensive and well known activated carbon. As can be seen from FIG. 2 the three layers 26, 28 and 30 are arranged in series so that water entering the inlet must pass through each of the layers in order to reach the outlet at the nipple 22.
Turning now to a more detailed description of the materials forming each of the three layers in this filter device and the function thereof the preferred silicalite used to form the first layer is that sold by Union Carbide under trade name S-115. This material is a crystalline, silica material which exhibits characteristics of molecular sieves. Its composition is SiO2 and it is more than 99% pure. At ambient temperatures S-115 silicalite will adsorb molecules as large as benzene (kinetic diameter 5.85 A) but rejects molecules larger than 6 A). The capital structure of S-115 silicalite is a topologic type of tetrahedral framework, which contains a large fraction of five-membered rings of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra. Its channel system is composed of near-circular zig-zag channels cross-linked by elliptical straight channels. Both channels are defined by 10-rings. The following table sets out some physical properties:
Free aperture
Zig-zag channels . . . 5.4 A
Straight channels . . . 5.75�5.15 A
Pore volume . . . 0.19 cc/gm
Crystal density . . . 1.76 gm/cc
Largest molecule adsorbed . . . Benzene
Form . . . Granular Unlike aluminosilicate zeolite surfaces, S-115 silicalite has a very low selectivity for the adsorption of water and a very high preference for the adsorption of organic molecules smaller than its limiting pore size. Because the process of adsorption by this material is irreversible under normal conditions (for example the conditions that would be encountered during household use of the filter device) removal of organics having a small molecular weight is assured for at least a considerable length of time. Moreover the removal of these organics can help to protect the other two layers of filter material which could be damaged by the presence of trihalomethanes, phenol derivatives and other materials that might be present in the water supply and that are adsorbed by the silicalite. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the other filter materials used in the present filter are flow-dependent while the silicalite layer is not under normal conditions (pressure and temperature) because the adsorption of the organic materials is permanent. Thus a change in the rate of flow of water through the filter device will not remove the adsorbed materials from the silicalite and bring them back into solution.
Turning now to the second layer of filter material, the preferred anion exchange resin is Dowex-11 which is a type 1, strong base resin of high porosity. Dowex 11 is in the form of hard, cream colored spheres having a minimum sphericity of 80%. It has a standard screen size of 20-50 mesh (wet). Such a material removes organics from the water in two different ways. The first is an actual ion exchange which occurs with organics containing carboxyl groups. The second method is adsorption of organics on the porous surface of the resin beads by a mechanism based on Van-Der Waals forces.
As an example of the type of material that can be removed using Dowex-11, humic acids can be removed as they have at least one carboxyl group. An acid of this type will react chemically with the resin even after the active sites on the resin have been exhausted by reaction with such materials as silicates, carbonates and other inorganics. The reason for this is that the resin has a higher affinity towards organic materials than to inorganics. The organic thus replaces the inorganic which may very well be a harmless material in any event.
The aforementioned second method by which the resin removes organic materials is a purely physical phenomenom. There is no formation of a covalent bond.
Another preferred anion exchange resin that can be used in the present filter device is sold under the trade name Ionac A-642. This material is a type 1, strong base macroporous resin. It is highly efficient and durable and has a high capacity. It can be obtained from the Ionac Chemical Company.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the anion exchange resin will remove many contaminants that are not adsorbed by the first layer. In particular it will remove organic materials whose size exceeds that of benzene. Although some of the organic materials captured by the second layer would likely be caught by the third layer comprising activated carbon, certainly not all of them would be and moreover this second layer of filter material is less flow dependent than the third layer of activated carbon. Thus the use of this second layer contributes to the overall efficiency of the filter device.
The third layer 30 comprising activated carbon polishes the product. In other words it will remove any disagreeable smell from the water as well as any bad taste that might exist including residual chlorine. The carbon also catches suspended particles that manage to pass through the city's filtration plant. Finally the carbon will catch organics that were not adsorbed or otherwise removed by the first two layers of the filter. The efficiency and capability of the third layer is increased by making the distance L3 as long as practically possible.
It is well recognized that adsorption in activated carbon is an important tool for water purification and this applies especially to dissolved organic substances which are responsible for taste or odour or may actually be of an irritating or poisonous nature. Activated carbon is capable of removing some substances by catalytic reaction. For example chlorine is removed in this manner by activated carbon. Some types of particulate matter are removed by carbon by a mechanical filtration action.
Capacity tests have been run on a filter device constructed in accordance with the present invention and containing about 500 grams of activated carbon, 100 grams of Dowex-11 resin and 40 grams of S-115 silicalite. These tests have shown that there is no breakthrough of the filter materials for a run of up to 800 imperial gallons of water. However the filter is flow dependent as illustrated by the graph of FIG. 3. The graph illustrates the ability of the filter to remove contaminants over the practical range for the size of the filter that was tested. The testing for capacity and flow dependency was done by monitoring absorbancy at 254 nm using a Pye-unicam UV Spectrophotometer. FIG. 3 illustrates that the ability of the filter device to remove contaminants was excellent at a flow rate of up to 200 milliliters per minute. However this ability decreased at a uniform rate as the flow rate was increased to 800 milliliters per minute but even at the latter rate the percentage of contaminants removed is considerable. The horizontal dash line running across the top of the graph represents the quantity of contaminants in the unfiltered tap water which was used for the tests. The tests were carried out at 254 nanometers because the absorbance at this level is accepted by those working in this art as a rough measure of organic material.
The filter of the present invention has been tested to determine its efficiency in the removal of organic material from the ordinary tap water. The sample tap water that was used was from the city of Toronto water system, which water contains organic materials amounting to around 4 ppm. This comes as a rough estimate from 2 ppm of total organic carbon as proven by tests. The test results on this tap water were as follows:
______________________________________Sample Identification TOC mg/l______________________________________tap water 1.77after filter water 0.32______________________________________
The letters TOC represent total organic carbon. The test was carried out by an independent testing organization and it reveals that the present filter is capable of removing 811/2% of organic materials from tap water. It will be appreciated that a removal of this high percent of contamination could very well be of considerable benefit to users of the applicant's filter device.
For comparison purposes tests were also conducted to determine the efficiency of a filter device employing only activated carbon and another filter employing both activated carbon and a suitable ion exchange resin. Both filters performed less efficiently than the filter device of the present invention and in fact the carbon only filter was considerably less efficient as indicated by the following results:
______________________________________ACTIVATED CARBON ONLYSample Identification TOC mg/L______________________________________tap water 2.15after filter water 1.97______________________________________
As can be seen from the above figures the filter device employing activated carbon only was able to remove only 8% of the total organics. Improved results from a carbon filter could probably be obtained by altering the filter or the conditions of use. Nevertheless carbon filters suffer from other deficiencies including the fact that adsorption can be temporary and can be reversed. For example a sudden increase of flow through the filter or an interruption in the flow and subsequent re-establishment thereof can cause adsorbed molecules to be released from the pores of the filter material and to re-enter the water.
A test on the filter device employing activated carbon together with an ion exchange resin produce the following results:
______________________________________CARBON AND RESIN FILTERSample Identification TOC mg/L______________________________________tap water 2.15after filter water 0.6______________________________________
Thus this test resulted in a 72% removal of organic contaminants from the tap water. Although this results is a considerable improvement over the result produced by the carbon only filter, it is clearly not as good as the filter of the present invention. Moreover it should be kept in mind that the almost 10% improvement provided by the filter device of the present invention may signify that important and dangerous contaminants are being removed substantially from the water while they are not being removed by the filter employing only two filter materials.
Although it may not be practical for small filters intended for home use, it is possible to regenerate the filter materials used in the filter device of the present invention. If the present filter device was used by a utility or a large commercial operation, it would of course be constructed on a much larger scale than that indicated for a domestic filter device. However the commercial filter would be constructed in essentially the same manner as that illustrated in the drawings. In many commercial applications it would be practical to remove one end of the filter device and remove the filter materials for regeneration. This possibility is indicated in FIG. 2 by the threads 32 on the end caps 16. The end of the main section 14 is also threaded in order to detachably receive the end cap.
Regeneration of the silicalite is carried out by the use of solvents and subsequent evaporation of the solvent from the material. Other known techniques are also available. The preferred resin Dowex-11 can be regenerated by means of a brine and HCl treatment. A salt solution subjects the resin to different osmotic pressures and different surface tensions. The effect is to counteract the Van-Der Waals forces so that the organics are released. In practice this brine treatment is accompanied by the injection of hydrochloric acid which regenerates the active sites of the resin and releases from them the carboxyl-containing molecules. In each case the removal effect is permanent under normal conditions.
The activated carbon material is the least expensive material and it may be more practical in many applications to simply replace this material with new activated carbon rather than attempt to regenerate used material. However the service life of activated carbon can in some cases be extended by means of a steam treatment.
Objections have been raised in the past to the use of adsorbing filters on the grounds that there may be a health hazard due to possible bacterial growth and their service life can be rather limited because their ability to function terminates when they reach the saturation point. With respect to the first objection, a filter constructed in accordance with the present invention was left in a wet state for about two and a half weeks and then treated with a countercurrent flow of tap water having about 0.08 ppm of free chlorine. After allowing the filter bed to settle, rinse samples were taken and subjected to BOD tests which showed negative every time. For domestic use the filter can be combined with a bacteria killing device such as the known one using ultraviolet light.
With respect to the possible saturation of the present filter, it should be appreciated that every filter of a certain size has a safe service life before saturation will occur. However a problem can occur if the filter is subjected to vigorous shaking which can release trapped organics into effluent. It is submitted however that saturation should not be a problem with the present filter if proper care is taken by the user and it is not used beyond its recommended service life. Proper use of the filter would include initial rinsing in, placing the filter at one steady angle or position and an occasional backwash.

1) Send the request for the new/existing site to the E-shop (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Requests should include:
- Name of site, username, lab name, lab group or course
- System to
host site (zope or apache, undergrads only can use apache)
- If this is
an entity, a ME faculty or staff member must approve the request
2) If its an Apache based site, a file space will be available in the web
share on ME servers (tools and widget). This share has three root
directories, 'groups', 'entities' and 'users'. Person accounts will be in the 'users' space and all
non-person accounts will be in the 'entities' space or 'group' space.
When you create your site(s), you will be asked to choose between Zope and
Apache. The Apache option is an running a very basic Apache 2.0 based service. Zope
is a true content management system. The Zope server as an option requires more
effort to migrate but can provide many more features such as Wiki's, Surveys and
database connection with very little development time.
The new space given for your web site can be accessed in many ways. The
actual file system is available on all UNIX and Linux machines in the path
Additionally, you can do a 'Map Network Drive' to this path
- Faculty, Staff and Graduate students will find their directory under
- Non-person accounts will find their directory under 'entities'.
- Non-person accounts with virtualhost configuration will find their directory
under 'group'.
IE - web accessible files
Fundamentally, a website is nothing more than a collection of HTML files.
These can be static files that end in html or dynamic content using scripts or
programs to generate HTML pages on request. Given this, to create a website, you
need to create an html document. Save this document as index.html
and place it in your web space. Now, you have a web site.
The web server is a UNIX based system. In the process of placing files,
especially when using a PC or Mac, the access permission can be set incorrectly.
To correct these, you will need to open a command prompt
on tools and use the 'chmod' command. To be web accessible, a file must be world
readable or be set to the UNIX group www and group readable. For a directory to
be accessible, it must either be world readable and executable or have its UNIX
group set to www and have the group read and execute permissions set.
EXAMPLE: Making A file (index.html) and Directory (sp3)
accessible for user loganm
tools: cd /web/users/loganm
tools: pwd
tools: ls -la
-rwx------ 1 loganm other 67 Oct 26 2009 index.html
drwx------ 2 loganm other 3 Jan 28 20:36 sp3
tools: chmod 744 index.html
tools: chmod 755 sp3
tools: ls -la
-rwxr--r-- 1 loganm other 67 Oct 26 2009 index.html
drwxr-xr-x 2 loganm other 3 Jan 28 20:36 sp3
If you plan to use access control, CGI files or other more complex options in
your website, you may need to use a 'dot htaccess' file (.htaccess). This is a
specifically named file that has a period as the first character. These files
MUST be created and edited under UNIX to work correctly. Windows/Dos uses
a different text file format which when used in UNIX, appends ^M characters to
each line. This WILL break your website. Available editors include vi,
pico and emacs. If not familiar with their use - use a search engine such as
Google to find a suitable online tutorial.
On the new Apache server, the default index page for a directory is
index.html or index.php. If you wish to use a different file name for the
default page, you will need to specify it in your .htaccess file. An example
file is given below for the file index.htm.
EXAMPLE: .htaccess file for index.htm as default page
DirectoryIndex index.htm
If you are prompted to open/save a compressed zip file when posting Office
2007 documents, you will need to add this mime type definition on the server in
your sites .htaccess file.
EXAMPLE: .htaccess file for Office 2007 Documents
ADDTYPE application/vnd.openxmlformats docx pptx xlsx
The mechanisms for using active content may differ somewhat from the old web
services. At this time, the Apache 2 based machine does not support mod_perl
based scripts or extensions. Perl is still available but it will not have access
to dynamic server modules as before. Also, to use CGI, perl and pythons
programs, you must add information to the your .htaccess file. Below is an
example of a file to allow cgi scripts with the .pl and .cgi extensions.
EXAMPLE: cgi and pl file extensions for active content
(placed in the .htaccess file)
Options +ExecCGI
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .pl
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
Many sites have areas or
directories that you wish to have protected from the unknown viewer. In these
cases, our apache web server offers two options to protect directories of
information, I2A2 (career account) authentication and the generic Apache basic
Authentication. Both of these options are implemented using a file in the web
directory named .htaccess
This file MUST be created and edited on the UNIX system. If you use

to redirect portions of you website to other portions of your site to the other
sites completely. We offer a few methods to do this. The first is an
automatic redirect and does not prompt the user or change the displayed URL. The
second offers a page to let you know a site has moved and will re-write the
displayed URL.
The last method is using Mod-Rewrite and .htaccess files. This is the most
powerful and the most complicated method for creating redirects. This method is
also the only one to allow the entire site to redirect even if a specific file
was requested. This method also allows you to define what to do with error 404
conditions - file not found. To use this, please see the Mod-Rewrite web site
under the Apache project. An example is NOT provided for this method.
The choice of mechanism is up to the user.

Encryption can be thought of as locking something valuable into a strong box with a key. Conversely, decryption can be compared to opening the box and retrieving the valuable item. On computers, sensitive data in the form of e-mail messages, files on a disk, and files being transmitted across the network can be encrypted using a key. Encrypted data and the key used to encrypt data are both unintelligible.
Typically, public key encryption is not used to encrypt large amounts of data. However, public key cryptography does offer an efficient method to send someone the secret key that is used when a symmetric encryption operation is performed on a large amount of data.
As an example, suppose Bob wants to send Alice a large number of encrypted files. For performance reasons, he will use a symmetric encryption key algorithm, such as Data Encryption Standard (DES), to encrypt the data. To send the encrypted data and the DES secret key needed to decrypt the data securely, Bob will encrypt the secret key with Alice's public key obtained from her certificate. Because her public key was used to encrypt the secret key, Alice, using her private key, will be the only one able to decrypt the DES secret key and thus decrypt the DES-encrypted data.
For more information, see Encrypting File System overview. For more information about encryption and certificates, see Certificates Resources.

Ridley (Metroid)
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (July 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Metroid character
Ridley, as depicted in Super Metroid
|First game
|Metroid (1986)
Ridley (Japanese: リドリー Hepburn: Ridorī?), also known by his aliases Geoform 187 and The Cunning God of Death, is the primary villain of the Metroid series, despite not technically acting as the main antagonist in the individual games he appears in. He is a draconic extraterrestrial that acts as Samus Aran's archenemy, due to his attack on her homeworld and subsequent killing her parents; despite being destroyed numerous times by her, he is always revived by the Space Pirates continuously feeding him Bio-Matter (which is live flesh and blood). Originally appearing as a subordinate of Mother Brain, the primary antagonist of multiple titles in the Metroid series, he appears in Metroid Prime and Prime 3 by himself in his Meta Ridley form. Despite his monstrous appearance, he is revealed to be very intelligent and capable of speech in the Metroid e-manga, though he does not speak in the Metroid video games.
Throughout the series, Ridley has made a variety of changes in his appearance. He was originally roughly the same size of protagonist Samus Aran in the original Metroid title. In Super Metroid, he is significantly larger than in the original title, sporting purple skin, a large wingspan, glowing eyes and large claws; making him resemble a European dragon. His Prime series cyborg form is referred to as Meta Ridley, while a robotic duplicate, Ridley Robot,[1] is also shown in Zero Mission. The instruction manual for the original Metroid refers to Ridley as one of the Chozos, the race that raised Samus Aran. His trophy description in Super Smash Bros. Melee confirms Ridley's gender as male. Both Ridley and Meta Ridley appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as bosses that must be defeated. Ridley is also incredibly cruel, and actively takes pleasure in killing others.
Ridley originally appeared in the Nintendo Entertainment System video game Metroid. Mike Sneath, one of three senior character artists for Metroid Prime, was responsible for designing the Meta Ridley version of Ridley seen in Metroid Prime. It took him about "20 to 25 days" to model and texture Meta Ridley, citing the wings as having taken a few days of his time, commenting that it took him a while to get the shaders to work to give his wings the appearance of having a "holographic energy". He was not involved with designing the battle with Meta Ridley, which was left up to the game designers. Andrew Jones, the lead concept artist for Metroid Prime, had little to do with the design of Ridley. The initial design submitted was rejected by Nintendo, while the second design the artists submitted was approved.[2] Steve Barcia, the executive producer of Retro Studios, called Ridley his favorite enemy from Metroid Prime due to the quality of the battle and his fan appeal. He added that such a battle was rare for a first person shooter, which helped to set Metroid Prime apart.[3]
Clone Ridley[edit]
After the destruction of Zebes (and subsequent annihilation of Ridley's body) in Super Metroid, a clone of Ridley was unintentionally created by a rogue group within Galactic Federation during an illegal top secret program to engineer bioweapons, many of which are deliberately based on the Space Pirates. He first starts off as a small, furred, bird-like creature whom the Bottle Ship scientists had named "Little Birdie". During the game, Little Birdie/Ridley undergoes metamorphosis twice; first into a large, lizard-like creature and then into his traditional form.
It is revealed by M.B. (a human android modeled after Mother Brain and the main antagonist of Other M), posing as Bottle Ship director Dr. Madeline Bergman, that Birdie/Ridley was cloned from some of the genetic material recovered off Samus' Powersuit following the destruction of Zebes and that the team of scientists had unknowingly revived Ridley, who was thought unsuitable to be a bioweapon and kept by the Bottle Ship researchers and treated like pet. Despite its small size, the infant Birdie retains Ridley's dark intelligence and cunning. By playing dead in its cage, Birdie/Ridley managed to lure one of the scientists into its cage were it brutally attacked and killed him. His body is later discovered in Ridley's enclosure by Samus, who sensed a dark intelligence at work. Samus later runs into the clone in the Pyrosphere.
One of Adam's final missions to Samus is to finish off Ridley, who Adam refers to as being just as dangerous as the Metroids if left unchecked, and claims Samus is the only one capable of stopping Ridley. However. Samus later discovers his corpse after he is killed, having had his energy drained by the Queen Metroid on the Bottle Ship. His mummified corpse turns up again in Metroid Fusion on the BSL station, after having apparently been removed from the Bottle Ship by the Galactic Federation and placed in a sub-zero storage room, though for what purpose remains unclear. It is later infected by an X parasite, allowing it to gain the ability to transform into Ridley-X. Samus later defeats Ridley-X and absorbs its Core-X, regaining her signature Screw Attack. What was left of Clone Ridley's remains were destroyed along with the X when the BSL station crashes into SR388.
In other media[edit]
Ridley has made multiple appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series. He first appeared in Super Smash Bros. in the background of the Planet Zebes stage, then in Super Smash Bros. Melee during the opening sequence and as a collectible trophy, and made a more significant role in its sequel, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where he appears as a boss battle during the game's single player mode the Subspace Emissary. He appears in both regular and Meta Ridley forms.[4] He also returned as a boss on the Pyrosphere stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.[5]
Many fans believed that Ridley would be a playable character for Melee, and it was rumoured that he would appear along with Toon Link and Bowser Jr. for Brawl.[6] Director of the Super Smash Bros. series, Masahiro Sakurai, stated in an interview with Nintendo Power that the development team considered including Ridley as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but decided against the idea due to creative difficulties. His boss battle theme was included as stage music in Brawl as well.[6] Unused Assist Trophy data for Ridley also exists in the coding of Brawl, suggesting that Ridley was originally meant to have a different role before being placed into the Subspace Emissary mode. In an interview with IGN about Ridley's exclusion from Smash Wii U, Sakurai argued that reducing Ridley's size, wingspan, or mobility to include him as a fighter would not be true to the character, who is supposed to be a " truly threatening presence" that could only be correctly portrayed as a stage boss unencumbered by a fighter's size and balance restrictions.[5]
Ridley also appears in Dead or Alive: Dimensions as part of a Metroid: Other M-themed stage, capable of shooting fireballs at the arena and physically attacking combatants who get too close.[7] A mechanical version of Ridley appears as a boss during the Metroid Blast minigame in Nintendo Land, along with an alternate version called "Ice Ridley". Ridley also makes an appearance as a playable fighter in the fangame Super Smash Bros. Crusade.
Ridley appears a few times in the Captain N: The Game Master comics from 1990. In these comics, he looks almost exactly like he appears in the NES version manual, though his face is more lizard-like. Both Kraid and Ridley are approximately human-sized. In the Captain N cartoon series, Ridley is depicted as one of a species. Nintendo Power featured two Metroid adaptations. The Super Metroid one has 60 pages, following the plot of the video game of the same name.[8] The Metroid Prime one has 18 pages, and follows the plot of the video game of the same name.[9] In the Metroid e-Manga created by Yoshio Sakamoto Samus first met Ridley while he was commanding the attack on her home colony of K-2L. As Ridley was observing the destruction of the colony, Samus met face to face with him. Her young mind overwhelmed by the carnage, but having recently been taught by the Chozo elder Old Bird that even unsightly creatures can be decent, she tried to befriend him, desperate for assurance that everything would be all right. For a second, he paused, and appeared to show pity toward her before abruptly revealing his true nature to her by gleefully preparing to annihilate her. Samus' mother, Virginia Aran, then appeared amidst the confusion of the Pirate raid and was instead the one destroyed by Ridley's fire breath. This memory scarred Samus for life, and she therefore vowed to avenge her parents and destroy Ridley and all the Space Pirates.
Throughout the history of the Metroid series, series antagonist Ridley has received positive reception. He is regarded as a favorite amongst the Metroid series developers.[10] Nintendo Power listed him as their sixth favorite Nintendo villain, citing both his involvement in Samus' parents' death as well as his determination, dying at Samus' hands many times yet still coming back.[11] Computer and Video Games editor Mike Jackson described Ridley as a "fan favorite".[12] GameDaily called him the 16th greatest Nintendo character, commenting that he "beats Mother Brain by a mile as the coolest Metroid villain."[13] IGN editor Jesse Schedeen called Ridley the real villain of the Metroid series, commenting that he would have to be included in a Metroid film if one were made due to him being too important to leave out.[14] 1UP.com editor Nadia Oxford described the Nintendo Comics System version of Ridley as being more of a "squashed bug" than a "fearsome reptile".[15] The 1UP.com staff listed the battle with Ridley in Super Metroid as being one of the most iconic in Nintendo history. They stated that his appearance in Super Metroid is more memorable than any other appearance in the Metroid series, and that his appearance added some familiarity to Metroid fans.[16] GamesRadar listed him third on their list of video game villains who will never stay dead, calling him Samus' "great white whale" that even while he has tormented her through her life, she just cannot seem to kill him.[17] Gaming Nexus criticized the lack of fellow Metroid villain Kraid in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, but stated that the developers made up for it by adding the best Ridley battle in the series' history.[18] IGN editors Phil Pirrello and Richard George listed Ridley as the second most deserving Nintendo character for inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, stating that Samus was the only playable character in the game to represent the Metroid series, and that Ridley would broaden the series' range.[19]

I'm very new in this WordPress online shop thing and still experimenting with WooCommerce. It looks great and I really love how easy it fits my needs!
But sadly Germany is well known for it's lawyers who admonish (Abmahnung) small online shops who do little mistakes. Is there a way to make my shop more "certainty for the law" (Rechtssicherheit) like a special plugin?
Maybe somebody know a good (german) site about this topic too?
Thanks for your help!

This image, according to CNN iReport contributor Matthew Dishler, shows three white students at New York state's Waverly High School wearing blackface during a skit at the school's homecoming pep rally:
Three white students were to perform a skit in black face, depicting Chris Brown and Rhianna [sic] most notibly [sic]. In this skit they would display acts of domestic violence as satire to an audience that included not only students but parents, faculty, and various members of the media and community leaders. None of them stopped the skit.
The story, published early Monday morning, has stirred up plenty of conversation in the Waverly community. Students and alumni have shown support and shame. But more often than not, the response seems to be defensive.
Apparently, this is not the first blackface sketch in Waverly — a village with a 97 percent white population, according to the 2010 census.

Lemon-Balsamic Vinaigrette
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 0 mins
This yummy vinaigrette comes from Country Living. I use half oil and half water to cut down on the fat and calories in this and all my other dressings.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Combine lemon juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, add the oil in a thin stream.
- Serve or store refrigerated for up to 1 week.

This dressing is EXCELLENT. It took only maybe 2 minutes to make (I did use jar minced garlic), and I served it only a couple minutes after that, and the flavors were blended nicely. I did use a really high quality aged balsamic vinegar. Thanks for sharing this great and SUPER EASY dressing!
Delicious vinaigrette! I used half the oil (no water) and it was just right. The sweetness and richness of the balsamic offsets the tartness of the lemon and together they are a wonderful pair. Nice and light tasting. Made for Every Day is a Holiday tag, June, 2012.
Wonderful dressing. I followed your advice about halving the oil, but didn't add any water, and it was just right for us (I also halved the salt since that cut the amount down by a lot).

I have a clean Ubuntu server installation that keeps going into sleep mode if it receives no requests for a while. The only way to wake it up is to physically press the power button. I can't imagine this being something that is the default setting for a server, but is it? The server that it is installed on is rack-mounted i.e. not just a spare desktop.
Any ideas how to prevent it from going to sleep?

Review for Pearl S. Buck International, Inc., Perkasie, PA, USA
I've had the privilege and pleasure to be associated with the team at Pearl S. Buck International for almost 10 years now, in a variety of volunteer capacities. This organization consistently demonstrates passion, professionalism and the highest integrity in serving the needs of disadvantaged children in the US and abroad, while continuing to promote important messages related to cultural sensitivity and equality originally espoused by Pearl S. Buck. This is a very deserving organization with solid leadership and vision.

Review for Pearl S. Buck International, Inc., Perkasie, PA, USA
I have had the privilege of serving on the Pearl S. Buck International board for more than 3 years now, and continue to be tremendously impressed with the sophistication, professionalism, and dedication of the PSBI staff and volunteer groups who focus on the needs of disadvantaged children in many countries. This organizaiton exemplifies the highest values of a non-profit organization focused on helping others and has worked with superhuman effort to preserve and extend the vision of Pearl S. Buck, impacting >2 million children. I have been repeatedly touched by the positive and life-changing impact PSBI has had on the lives of children and adults alike through the many stories told by those so affected. Through the PSBI Opportunity House Program, I have been privileged to have a channel to sponsor a wonderul young girl in the Phillipines. Our periodic correspondence is delightful and her life challenges are eye opening lessons in humility for my family. The benefits of connecting with PSBI are too numerous to highlight in this short review.

The Fendahl Core rises.
|Chris Boucher
|George Spenton-Foster
|Script editor
|Robert Holmes
|Graham Williams
|Executive producer(s)
|Incidental music composer
|Dudley Simpson
|Production code
|Season 15
|4 episodes, 25 minutes each
|Originally broadcast
|29 October – 19 November 1977
Image of the Fendahl is the third serial of the 15th season in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from 29 October to 19 November 1977.
In a priory near the village of Fetchborough, four scientists, Adam Colby, Max Stael, Thea Ransome and Dr. Fendelman, are doing tests on a human skull they found in Kenya, apparently twelve million years old. When Dr. Fendelman starts using a sonic time scan, trying to get an image of the owner of the skull, the skull itself seems to react, locking onto Thea and releasing something in the priory grounds that kills a passing hiker, who eventually totally disintegrates.
The scan catches the attention of the Doctor and Leela when they are pulled down to Earth by it. The Doctor and Leela set off to find it before it creates a continuum implosion and destroys the planet. They separate and Leela finds the cottage of Ma Tyler, a local, modern day witch gifted with psychic powers. The Doctor ends up narrowly avoiding death at the hands of the creature created by the skull, which then kills the leader of a detachment of guards Fendelman has brought in after the death of the hiker, sealing everyone into the priory.
Ma Tyler then encounters the creature, but survives and is saved from going into psychic shock by the Doctor, who by this time has worked out that the thing is a Fendahleen, a creature from his planet's mythology, supposedly destroyed when the Fifth Planet broke up. He makes his way into the priory and finds the skull, which tries to kill him. Leela saves him and they go off to the Fifth Planet, only to find that the Time Lords sealed the planet in a Time Loop, making all proper records invisible even to them.
Thea, meanwhile, has been gradually converted into the new core of the Fendahl, a creature that feeds off life energy and leaves nothing behind. Stael, leader of the local black magic cult, recognises this and believes he can control the Fendahl and use it to dominate. He and his followers capture Colby, kill Fendelman, who was actually influenced through his genetics by the Fendahl to bring this about, and set up the Sonic Time scanner to power the skull and Thea's final transformation.
The Doctor, Leela, Ma Tyler and her grandson Jack head for the priory only to find the Fendahl core has formed and is converting the cult members into Fendahleen, to form the full circle. The Doctor frees Colby and helps Stael shoot himself after killing one of the new Fendahleen, in turn finding out that the Fendahleen are fatally allergic to salt, leaving the Fendahl core two short of the twelve it needs to be complete and form a gestalt. The Doctor rigs the scanner to implode upon itself and grabs the now dormant skull, leaving with the others only just before the priory is destroyed, along with the Fendahl core and the remaining Fendahleen. The Doctor and Leela then leave and plan to dump the skull near a supernova, thus ending the Fendahl race forever.
According to dialogue, the events of the last episode take place on Lammas Eve (31 July). K-9 appears in the first and last parts of the story but does not speak. This is due to the late inclusion of K-9 as a regular character into the scripts.[1] The Doctor explains Ma Tyler's "sixth sense" by saying that psychic ability is a common side effect of growing up near a time fissure. This explanation was also given by the Ninth Doctor for the psychic abilities of Gwyneth in "The Unquiet Dead".
The Fendahl reappears in the spin-off novel The Taking of Planet 5 by Simon Bucher-Jones and Mark Clapham as well as in the Kaldor City series of audio plays and the Time Hunter novella Deus Le Volt by Jon de Burgh Miller.
At the end of Part Two the Doctor asks the Fendahl skull if it would like a jelly baby, but actually offers it a liquorice allsort. This was commented on in the 'Watchdog' segment of Nationwide; the Doctor Who production office replied by saying that this was one of the ways the Doctor liked to confuse his enemy.
The exterior scenes were shot on the Stargroves estate in Hampshire, which was owned by Mick Jagger. The same location had been used during the filming of Pyramids of Mars.[citation needed]
Cast notes[edit]
Wanda Ventham had previously appeared in The Faceless Ones, and would subsequently appear in Time and the Rani; Denis Lill would subsequently appear in The Awakening; Scott Fredericks played a guerilla in Day of the Daleks; Derek Martin had been a stunt performer with the HAVOC group, who had taken part in a number of early serials featuring Jon Pertwee as the Doctor.
Plot elements of Image of the Fendahl — including the discovering of an alien skull linked to occult symbols, alien influence of mankind's evolution and the dormant alien influence being brought to bear in contemporary humanity — appear to be heavily influenced by both the 1959 Kurt Vonnegut novel The Sirens of Titan and the 1950s BBC television serial Quatermass and the Pit.[2]

Paul Cornell, Martin Day, and Keith Topping wrote in The Discontinuity Guide (1995) that Image of the Fendahl was "one of the best stabs at outright horror in Doctor Who's history" that was "possibly one episode too long ... but the verve of the production more than makes up for this."[6] In The Television Companion (1998), David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker felt that the scripts were "vague" and the Fendahl was "something of a disappointment", but they praised the supporting characters.[7] In 2010, Patrick Mulkern of Radio Times described the story as "indeed a 'good one', if not quite great, and a highlight of a dodgy season." He praised Baker but noted that Leela was "toned down".[8] DVD Talk's John Sinnot gave Image of the Fendahl three and a half out of five stars, praising the atmosphere but noting that the slow start and "rather convoluted story" held it back from being a classic.[9]

Water Temp: 78° F
Air Temp: 86° F
The goals for this dive were to map the site, video benthics and obtain a fish count.
This reef consists of concrete culverts and limestone boulders. They were pushed off of a barge, concrete on one side, limestone on the other, but a storm came up causing surge which in turn caused the reef line to be wavy instead of straight. Some of the concrete is almost buried.
A Goliath Grouper was hiding in one of the concrete culverts. A school of Bigeye Scad was hanging around as well as Blue Runners. A Nudibranch and a Florida Sea Goddess were spotted. Several lobster were noted on the rocks, and a few others on the concrete. Sponges, hydroids, and other inverts are noted to be growing on this site.
Water Temp: 78° F
Air Temp: 86° F
The goals for this dive were to map the site, video benthics, and obtain fish counts.
This is a brand new site that was deployed in August of this year, approximately 3.5 miles from the Jupiter Inlet. This reef was named for Andrew "Red" Harris who was struck and killed by a boat while snorkeling near DuBois Park last year. The site is constructed of "Reef Cells" that were modeled after Bahamian coral heads by designer Chris O'Hare. Chris told the Palm Beach Post that he wanted to "create a marine habitat that was relatively easy to create, easy to deploy, and maximized the amount of bio-activity possible in a small footprint." Each cell in the Harris reef begins with a 2,000-pound base used to attach it firmly to the ocean floor. The cells are composed of Portland and aluminate cement, weigh anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 pounds and are about 6 feet wide by 8 feet long. They vary in height from 5 to 8 feet high.
The team dropped in on an area just south west of the pods that contained older materiel, concrete beams, with a lot of growth on them. From this site, the team went north and east to the new area. Some of the reef cells have already begun to sink into the sand. The map team swam the perimeter of the site to get coordinates for the area.

CINCINNATI -- Downtown commuters can expect more road closures as crews continue work on the Cincinnati streetcar.
Elm Street will be closed between 12th and 14th streets from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday to allow crews to re-install granite pavers.
Drivers can detour west on 12th to Central Parkway, then north on Central Parkway to 14th before happing back onto Elm Street.
Meanwhile, work has finished at the 12th and Race diamond. The intersection has been closed for seven weeks to install switches and criss-cross tracks to permit the streetcar to cross over itself.
More work is yet to come though. Crews will be excavating for trackwork along Second Street and the Walnut and Main street bridges over Fort Washington Way on Sept. 2.
Officials said the work will proceed from the south side of Third Street on Walnut, cross Second Street and move up Main Street to the south side of Third Street. Crews said traffic will be minimally restricted during the work.
Between Sept. 2 and Opening Day 2015, crews will excavate trenches for tracks on the bridge and Second Street structures. They will also install straight track along Walnut and Main between Second and Third streets, and on Second Street between Walnut and Main; and perform other pavement work.
Officials said next fall, the crews will return to install the curved track at the intersections of Second and Walnut and Second and Main.

Released: Oct 01st, 1990
Running Time: 73
Director: Jack Waters
Company: Le Salon
Cast: Mark Sage, Marc Radcliff, Beau Beaumont, Eddie Valens, Brett Winters, Bobbie Davis, Josh Taylor
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
Bruce Savage wrote this story of a young rancher (Wood) who comes to L.A. in search of his missing brother (Sage) and hires a detective (Beaumont) to help him with his search. Beaumont discovers that Sage has become an actor in gay X-rated films and decides to give Wood a sample of what it's all about. Here is yet another example of a potentially first-rate production that misses the grade because of low production values and inconsistent direction. But the promise is there, and the sexual action is for the most part hot and steamy. A cut above average, but not what it should have been.
