Duodenal atresia is a congenital closure of the lumen of the duodenum, which is the first portion of the small intestine and is separated from the stomach by the pyloric sphincter. During fetal development, the duodenum develops from the posterior portion of the foregut and the anterior portion of the midgut. The liver and pancreas originate from the diverticulum arising from the ventral part of the duodenum, and the bile duct runs along the ventral free side of the duodenum. Rotation and...

Rewiring pendant light
We are changing out our pendant lights over the kitchen counter. This is going to be rough to explain, 'cause I don't know all the correct names of things.
My husband and I got one light almost changed and ran into a problem. We're not the most mechanical people, but he assured me our house wouldn't burn down.
We used the new bar that is attached to the electrical box.
Everything went well until we went to screw in the plate at the top of the light fixture and every time we would go to attach the screw cover (that matches the pendant stem), onto the screw hanging down, it would spin loose. Hubby tried adding a washer and nut to the top of the screw (closest to the bar on the electrical box)......to be able to stabilize the screw (so it just doesn't turn and turn and turn).
Hubby had to leave for awhile, but he's thinking all he needs to use is one of those washers that's broken in one place (I forget the name of it), and that will totally stabilize the screw.
Are we barking up the wrong tree? Have I totally confused you??
We've tested it and the light does come on.....so I believe he wired it correctly.
Any better thoughts as to how to stabilize those 2 screws that hang down from the bar, to hold the plate on the top of the pendant light? I'm hoping to offer my husband a couple other alternatives, to shorten the amount of frustration time for him. :)
Thanks for your help!
Thanks saltcedar.
I didn't know if there was something missing from the nuts and bolts that came with the light and maybe we just weren't using the right stuff. But I guess with all the things coming from China, sometimes you have to punt.
Thanks again.
Lock washers (the washer that is broken in one place) probably won't help. Can you provide the name/model of the lights so perhaps we can look up the installation manual ourselves?
I've also used Loctite on some installations. That is liquid thread locker. You put it on the threads, let it dry overnight, and then you can put some force on it without turning. There are both "permanent" and "temporary" versions. The "permanent" would be best for these applications. You can get the stuff at any big box home improvement store.
Thanks jreagan.
Actually, the lock washers did work. But this morning, when my husband looked at the parts again before putting the second light up (before he went to the store to buy more nuts for the jury-rigging), he realized that he hadn't used the brace bar correctly.
He assumed with the first light that he needed to put the screws that point downward (to hold the plate to the ceiling) into the long slots on the brace bar (since that's the way the previous light did it). But he realized that there were small round holes for those screws on the new brace, and they have little threads on the back that would grab the screw from below. Plus, it made lining everything up right, sooooo much easier!
So........we spent a few extra hours on the first light than we needed to! But we're glad he realized it for the second light today. Today, it took less than an hour.......and some of that time was spent trying to attach the ground wire. They only left about 1/2" of it in the box to attach anything too.
So........we now have 2 new, nice hanging lights! Now we're just hoping the house doesn't burn down. ;)
Thanks again for your suggestions.

So, when I returned from my vacation I was thrilled to see that my Krimson Queen had buds. This is the same plant (given to me by a friend) that I had difficulty with over the winter. It hasn't bloomed at all this season. My question for you all is how long does it usually take before flowers bloom? I have had these buds at least 6 days with no evidence that they are even beginning to open.
Your advice is sure appreciated!

Hi all, this is my first post on my first attempt at brewing and I have some questions which hopefully someone can answer. I am using a True Brew porter kit from my LHBS. It was running fine for the first two days then the fermenting bucket stopped bubbling. The OG was about 1.045 and after three days it was 1.022, it has since remained that level. It was in my basement at about 68 degrees for the first week, then I had to move it as my landlord was around, so it was in a hotter area of the house. It was probably 75+ degrees for a couple days. Its back in the basement now.
During the hot spell I put in another package Muntons ale yeast (the same kind that came with the kit) and about a cup of corn sugar to see if I could jump start it, but it only bubbled for a day, and the gravity is still at 1.022 after 10 days. The kit suggested it should run from 1.045 to 1.011 in about a week. It looks pretty plain, a few little floaties on the surface, no krausen, and it tastes like weak beer.
The kit contained a big can of liquid extract and a couple pounds of DME. I didn't airate my wort, I just mixed in 3-4 gallons of Poland Spring water after the boil to bring it up to 5. My equipment looks to be in working order
So, my questions are: Is this normal? What other measures can one take to promote fermentation? Does the high gravity mean there are still fermentable sugars in the mix, if so could I use a different yeast strain to complete fermentation?
If the gravity still does not drop and I bottle am I putting myself at risk for explosions?
Sorry for so many questions and thanks for the help.
Sounds like your fermentation stalled a little early, this is fairly common. Repitching additional yeast was a good idea, adding the additional sugar was not, as this will again raise the SG as you added more fermentable sugar. While this shouldn't be a huge problem, it may affect your finished product.
There are several reasons your brew may have stalled, among the most common are temperature and aeration. How did you aerate your wort and what temp did you keep it at for fermentation? You can often get fermentation restarted simply by warming your fermenter up to 68 degrees or so.
The high SG implies that there are additional fermentables, when did you last take a reading? Did the additional yeast result in a changed SG?
I would not try bottling yet. Wait and see if the additional yeast get the SG to drop a bit more (warm the fermenter if needed as well). Once it really seems finished (ie. gravity is closer to what you expect and has stopped dropping), you're safe to bottle. If you bottle now you are risking bottle bombs IMO.
Most importantly, RDWHAHB it will all work out and you will have beer.
I've never used Muntons ale yeast, but I heard somewhere that it might not ferment as completely as, say, Nottingham. I don't know this for a fact, though, as it's just a guess. I wouldn't use the same yeast, though, since that's what seems to have pooped out on you. I would not bottle yet, either- but maybe pitch a dry Nottingham yeast into it.
Don't add more sugar or more extract- that won't help you ferment the "stuff" already in there and will just stress the yeast. Temperature is important, too- it's not so much that the exact temperature matters that much, but you don't want fluctuations. If you went from 68-75 degress and back several times, that's not the best. You'd be better off to put it somewhere (in a closet or box) where the temperature stays more stable.
Well, here goes. I hope i don't pull down the wrath of the guys here,but according to Muntons, the standard ale yeast is not to good at fermenting complex malt sugars, but their ale yeast "gold" is supposed to do it (costs twice as much too) FWIW, if it were mine, i'd get a WY 1968, or 1028 and repitch. TheJadedDog covered about everything else above......
Good luck.......
First off, welcome to HBT!
Those Muntons yeasts aren't that great in my experience. I started out with them because it's all my LHBS carried and I had similar problems with my early brews. I would suggest getting a packet of Nottingham dry yeast (or some other neutral yeast) and pitch that. If you don't have access to that, try giving your primary a swirl to rouse some of the yeast off the bottom back into suspension.
Thanks for the quick responses. Its good to have some new ideas to work from. I tried stirring it a few times with little to no results. I think tomorrow I will go back to my favorite store, Beers of the World, and find some new and hopefully better yeast.

The wire gear on my 3DHS 40" EPP Edge and 48" EPP Extra is rock solid, even with heavier power systems in them. Did they change something? While they both have their flaws and I don't fly either one anymore because of these superior Skywing designs, they have (or had) the best wire gear I've ever seen. What gives?
And yeah, they won't fit into these new planes at all. Totally different mount.

so is there any other manufactures wire LG that would work with this? would like to get before the weekend.

IMHO, it's a matter of personal preference and most importantly on what type of surfaces you fly off.
Wire landing gear is better suited to a less than smooth surface, no matter how proficient you may be. Although wire landing gear doesn't look as nice, it can be moded out to look pretty acceptable.
Those lucky enough to fly off a smooth surface, the choice is ultimately yours.
One has to keep in mind, it's STILL a cheap EPP foamy after-all , no matter which way you look at it and NOT a scale model
Agreed! regardless what you choose additional reinforcement and/or using metal bolts is advisable.
On the 38" Skywing models, I leave out the landing gear altogether when I fly to save weight (personal preference) and hand catch.

I fly my Skywing foamies off a grass runway that at times can be pretty rough.
With 350+ flights on my Slick 48" with cf landing gear, I can say that the cf landing will stand up to abuse. The only time I had a minor problem, I made a hard landing in strong wind. The plastic bolts snapped off, as they should.
With 300+ flights on my Slick 55" with wire landing gear, I can say I really dislike wire landing gear. Is this a trainer plane, that would be the only reason I could understand for the wire gear. Also, although I'm not that concerned with the looks of my planes, the wire landing gear is really ugly. I covered it up as best I can with foam, but that doesn't last in hard use.
Now if Skywing would stop releasing planes with wings attached with rubber bands.

I also own the Skywing 55" Slick and I just repaired (for the 4th time) the wood in the landing gear mount. I don't mind the wire landing gear; however, what I do mind is the cheap and weak wood construction of the landing gear mount. Even a fairly moderate force applied to the wire landing gear results in damage to the wood constructing the landing gear mount. As a matter of fact, this is such a PIA that I'm going to sell my 55" Slick.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Facebook finally released its photo-sharing app, Slingshot, today after accidentally launching and yanking the product earlier this month. Slingshot sends annotated photo messages that disappear after you read them — just like Snapchat. It's distinguishing feature is that you have to send content in order to un-lock content. That means if your friend sends you a message, you can't open it until you send something back. This functionality is a pretty counter-intuitive way of operating a chat app (not to mention a barrier to chatting), as The Verge notes. Why would anyone join a service like this, when there are a sea of others that let you send photos without having to constantly create new content? The feature essentially forces users to not only interact but also engage with lots of other people. Slingshot's "Select All" function encourages users to send photos to everyone they're connected with. Slingshot certainly has some interesting tactics. It will be interesting to see if the new photo-sharing app catches on or gets left in the dust with the other clones. The app will be available in the Android and iTunes app stores starting Tuesday. Stay tuned for updates. More information: Facebook Facebook is the world's largest social network, with over 1.39 billion monthly active users.

While Floyd Mayweather Jr has flatly rejected fighting Manny Pacquiao at all, the royal family of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has not given up on the Dream Match between the two contenders for the pound-for-pound king title.
In fact, the president and royal family of UAE, Khalifa Bin Zayed AL Nahyan, gave the go ahead signal for Prince Amir Shafipour, the emirate's boxing promoter, to conduct talks for the possible holding of the much-anticipated 2015 bout in Dubai, reports ABS-CBN.

The prince, who represents Golden Cage Events and Promotions, was told to coordinate with an unnamed major boxing promoter in the U.S. said to have connections with the two camps.
The push for the dream match is part of the UAE president's vision to make the capital city the premier entertainment and tourism destination beyond the Middle East but internationally.
Prince Amir said there would likely be no problem with the purse or dealing with Bob Arum of Top Rank Promotions, which handles the fights of Pacquiao. He admitted Mayweather would be more difficult to deal with because of Money May's dislike for Arum.
Ahead of the Dream Match, UAE - which recently staged the Global Fighting Championships in Dubai - is conducting a financial study, reviewing pay-per-view and other TV rights for the Pacquiao-Mayweather bout.
Prince Amir will leave for the U.S. in the next two to three weeks to finalise the negotiations for the bout.

A dilatometer mountable to the exterior surface of pressurized pipe to measure small pressure variations within the pipe. The dilatometer includes two rigid beams tied together by nonextensible tensile members on opposite sides of the pipe. One member includes a strain gauge mounted to a strain gauge plate. Dilation of the pipe distends the beams, stressing the gauge plate. The strain is physically magnified on the gauge plate due to its position at the end of the beams and in direct proportion to overall diametral variation of the pipe due to pressure fluctuations.
1. An apparatus for measuring diametral dilation of cylindrical pipe, comprising:
first and second rigid beams each having front and back ends spaced apart a distance greater than the exterior pipe diameter, said beams being adapted to engage the pipe intermediate their respective ends at opposite sides of the pipe with the corresponding front and back ends of the beams overlying one another and located outwardly from the pipe;

3. The apparatus as defined by claim 2 further comprising a shim of heat insulative material adapted to be interposed between the pipe and the foot of each beam.
4. The apparatus as defined by claim 3 wherein the first and second nonextensible tensile means are comprised of nut and bolt assemblies with threaded shanks loosely received through upright apertures formed through the rigid beams at their front and back ends.
5. The apparatus as defined by claim 4 wherein the nut and bolt assemblies include spherical washers and spherical washer seats mountable to the shanks and held against the beams by nuts threaded on the shanks.
6. The apparatus as defined by claim 1 wherein the strain sensing means is comprised of a strain gauge plate with at least one electrically resistive strain gauge affixed thereto.
7. The apparatus as defined by claim 6 wherein the strain gauge plate is releasably mounted to the second non-extensible tensile member.
8. The apparatus as defined by claim 6 further comprising lock means for transmitting torsional forces through the second nonextensible tensile means, bypassing the strain gauge plate while permitting loading of the strain gauge plate in tension responsive to dilation of the pipe.
9. The apparatus as defined by claim 8 wherein the strain gauge plate is releasably mounted to the second nonextensible tensile member.
10. The apparatus as defined by claim 1 wherein the first and second nonextensible tensile means include elongated bolt shanks, threaded to receive nuts at opposite ends thereof; and wherein the first and second rigid beams are apertured to loosely receive the threaded ends of the bolt shanks.
11. The apparatus as defined by claim 10 wherein the strain sensing means includes an elongated strain gauge plate and wherein the second nonextensible means includes a pair of bolt shanks releasably interconnected by the strain gauge plate.
12. The apparatus as defined by claim 11 wherein the strain gauge plate includes a cross-sectional thickness dimension less than the cross-sectional diameters of the pair of bolt shanks.
13. The apparatus as defined by claim 10 further comprising spherical washers received over the threaded bolt shanks on outwardly facing sides of the rigid beams to be clamped between the beams and nuts threaded onto the shanks.
14. The apparatus as defined by claim 1 wherein each beam includes a rigid foot with an arcuate surface thereon complementary to the cross-sectional curvature of the cylindrical pipe, the arcuate surface having elongated grooves extending parallel to the axis of the cylindrical pipe.
15. The apparatus as defined by claim 1 wherein:
the strain sensing means is comprised of a strain gauge plate fastened to the second nonextensible tensile means and electrical resistance strain gauge fixed to the strain gauge plate;
wherein the strain gauge and strain gauge plate are enshrouded by a tubular shield, and further comprising:
lock means interconnecting the tubular shield to the second nonextensible tensile means for permitting direct transmittal of strain to the strain gauge plate while transmitting torsion directly through the second nonextensible means, bypassing the strain gauge plate.
The present invention is related to external pipe or vessel dilation sensing apparatus and more particularly to such apparatus for measuring pressure differential through detection of strain on the external circumferential surface of the pipe or vessel.
It is desirable, particularly in the nuclear power and testing industry as well as other industries, to monitor low level pressure fluctuations within fluid conduits. Pressure monitoring can be accomplished from within the conduit by standard measuring techniques. However, such techniques require that there be access to the interior of the conduit. Safety factors, shut down time required to install or maintain standard measuring equipment, strength reduction of the conduit walls and the caustic or toxic nature of the conduit contents are all valid reasons for not using internal pressure monitoring in otherwise closed systems. The present apparautus provides accurate pressure monitoring while assuring the system integrity.
The usual technique used to externally monitor pressure fluctuations within a conduit involves mounting one or more electrically resistive strain gauges on the external surface of the conduit. Expansion of the surface due to pressure fluctuations changes the electrical resistance through the strain gauges. Measurements of the change in resistance can easily be related to the strain and to the internal pressure causing the strain. This technique is serviceable and widely used where monitoring of relatively large pressure fluctuations is desired. However, a strain gauge measures only the strain at the point of contact between itself and the pipe circumference. Low pressure variations cause such insignificant changes in the resistance of the gauge as to defy accurate measurement. A problem is thus encountered when it is desirable to measure small pressure variations, say in the range of 3 psi. In addition, it may not be possible to use conventionally attached strain gauges on piping that has a temperature in excess of 500� F.
The present apparatus overcomes this shortcoming by use of two rigid beams clamped across the external conduit diameter and supporting a sensitive strain gauge between them at one side of the conduit. The beams are fixed spatially at the opposite conduit side. The beam lengths mechanically magnify any diametric size variations in the conduit, as detected by the strain gauge.
An apparatus is described for measuring diametral dilation of cylindrical pipe by engaging opposite sides of the pipe with two rigid beams. The beams are tied together at their ends by nonextensible tensile means. A strain sensing means is connected between ends of one tensile means, which is prestressed so a preload is placed on the strain sensing means. Measurement of diametral dilation of the pipe can be made from measuring strain variations from the preload condition.
A first object of the present invention is to provide a device for measuring total diametral dilation of a pipe without damaging or physically changing the integrity of the pipe walls.
Another object is to provide such a device that will accurately measure diametral dilation of a pipe from outside the confines of the pipe wall.
A further object is to provide such a device that will allow accurate measurement of pipe dilation using standard strain gauges.
A still further object is to provide such a device that is removable and reusable on other pipes of similar diameter. These and still further objects and advantages will become apparent upon reading the following specification which, taken with the accompanying drawings, describe a preferred form of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a pictorial view of the present dilatometer shown mounted to a short section of pipe;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary view illustrating the strain sensing means of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is an elevational view with portions broken away to illustrate functioning of the strain sensing means; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view illustrating a portion of the strain sensing means.
A short section of pipe is shown at 10 in the accompanying drawings. The present invention is intended for use on such pipe 10 that is arranged in a closed system to contain and direct flow of a pressurized fluid. For purposes of further description, the pipe 10 includes a cylindrical exterior surface 11 and inwardly spaced interior wall 12. The pipe diameter may vary since the present apparatus can be readily adapted to accomodate pipes or other vessels of larger or smaller diameter.
The present dilatometer is generally designated in the drawings by the reference character 15. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the dilatometer 15 is used externally of the pipe. Its purpose is to provide reasable output that can be correlated to very low pressure fluctuations within the adjacent pipe.
The dilatometer 15 is comprised of a pair of rigid beams 17. A first nonextensible tensile member 18 ties rearward ends 19 of the beams 17 against the pipe. A second nonextensible tensile member 20 extends from opposite ends of a strain sensing means 21 to tie forward ends 23 of the beams together, thereby sandwiching the pipe firmly between the beams. The tensile members 18 and 19 can be placed under tensile stress against the beam ends to preload the beams against the pipe and to prestress the strain sensing means 21. Dilation of the pipe will therefore be sensed by the strain sensing means 21 along the second nonextensible tensile member 20.
The beams 17 shown are identical and formed of solid, rigid metal. Each beam includes an outwardly facing surface 26 in relation to the pipe 10 and an inwardly facing surface 27. It is preferred that these surfaces be arranged on the pipe in a horizontal orientation.
Each of the beams includes a central rigid foot 28 extending inwardly from its surface 27. The feet are centrally located along the lengths of the beams and include transverse arcuate surfaces 29 that are formed complementary to the transverse arcuate curvature of the pipe 10. Surfaces 29 will therefore conform closely to the adjacent surfaces of the pipe 10.
Shims 30, preferably formed of a heat insulative material such as asbestos, may be used between surfaces 29 and pipe 10 to insure flush engagement between them and to prevent abrasion between the surfaces and pipe. The shims also provide the added feature of inhibiting heat transfer from the pipe to the feet.
Grooves 31 are formed along the feet 28 in transverse spaced relation across the surfaces 29. The grooves are arranged parallel to the axis of the pipe to allow slight bending of each foot to accomodate variations and further insure intimate contact between their surfaces and the pipe.
The first nonextensible tensile member, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, is simply comprised of an elongated bolt shank 34 with threaded ends 35 received within apertures 36 through the rearward beam ends 19. The threaded ends 35 receive nuts 37 which may be selectively tightened against spherical washers 38. the washers 38 press against the beam surfaces 26 to urge the beams against the pipe 10.
The spherical washers 38 are identical and are used in pairs for the first and second nonextensible tensile members 18 and 20. Two of the washers are illustrated in detail in FIG. 3. Each includes a substantially cylindrical portion having a concave washer seat 39 therein for receiving a semi-spherical "ball" 40. The balls 40 are apertured to receive the shanks of the first and second tensile members. Balls 40 will freely pivot within the washer sets 39 to maintain the shanks in proper relation to the beam members and thereby avoid bending stresses along their lengths. Pure tensile stress is therefore applied to the tensile members.
The second nonextensible tensile member 20 includes a split bolt shank, having two shortened bolt shank sections 43. The shanks 43 are coaxial and extend from ends 44 outwardly from the strain sensing means 21. The shanks 43 also include threaded ends 45 and extend through appropriate apertures 46 in the beam ends 23. The threaded ends 45 receive nuts 47. The nuts 47 can be tightened against the spherical washers 38 to pull the forward beam ends together and apply clamping pressure to the beams against the pipe.
The strain means 21 includes a strain gauge plate 50. Plate 50 is preferably formed of relatively thin stainless steel having opposed ends releasably received within slots 51 (FIG. 4) formed in the bolt shanks 43. Cap screws 52 (FIG. 4) releasably secure the opposed ends of the strain gauge plate in place within the slots.
The stain gauge plate 50 includes a cross-sectional thickness that is substantially less than the cross-sectional diameter of the bolt shanks 43. The strain gauge plate 50 will therefore experience substantially more strain under tensile stress than will the bolt shanks 43 or the bolt shank 34 on the opposite side of the pipe.
In order to measure the strain experienced along the length of gauge plate 50, at least one, and preferably four, strain gauges 53 are attached to the plate surfaces, The gauges are of the conventional electrically resistive type having wire leads 54 leading to individual terminals 55. Terminals 55 provide connection of the strain gauges to appropriate measuring and indicating devices (not shown). Four of the terminals 55 are situated on one side of the plate while the remaining four are located on the opposite side (FIG. 3).
It is preferred to mount the strain gauge 53 in the manner shown in FIG. 2. Two strain gauges are oriented at right angles to one another. One gauge is aligned with the axis of the shafts 43 and the other is perpendicular to the axis. Two other gauges are similarly arranged on the back side of the plate. The gauges 53 are connected in the usual Wheatstone bridge arrangement for the purpose of detecting small strain variations along the length of the plate.
The entire strain sensing means 21 is selectively covered by a locking means 61. Locking means 61 is provided for transmitting torsion directly between the bolt shanks 43 while allowing tension applied along the bolt shanks 43 to be transmitted directly to the strain gauge plate 50.
The locking means 61 includes a tubular shield 62 that is preferably formed in two interfitting axial halves. The shield 62 is mounted to flanges 63 on the shanks 43. Slots 64 are provided in the opposite ends of the shield 62 to receive set screws 65. The set screws threadably engage the flanges 63 and can be selectively tightened to secure the shield to the flanges. This may be done to protect the strain gauge plate and strain gauges during assembly and disassembly of the device.
The screws 65 may be loosened to allow relatively free axial movement of the shield over the flanges in response to tension applied between the bolt shanks 43. However, any torsional movement will bring the walls of the slots into abutment with the screw shanks. The torsional forces will therefore be transferred through the shield directly from one bolt shank 43 to the other.
The present device is mounted to pipe 10 by first situating one of the rigid beams 17 along the top surface of the pipe with the foot thereof pressing a shim against the engaged surface of the pipe. The first and second tensile members 18 and 20 are then inserted through the apertures in the beams and through the spherical washers. The nuts 37 and 47 are then threaded onto the exposed shank ends.
The second shim is placed over the shoe of the remaining beam which is then lifted to engage the pipe directly below the upward beam. As this is being done, the free ends of the tensile members 18 and 20 are fitted through the apertures 36 and 46. The second set of spherical washers are then slid into place over the exposed ends of the tensile members and the second set of nuts are threaded onto the shanks. The bottom nuts secure the washers to the beam member and suspend the lower beam member from the upward member.
The tubular shroud 62 may then be removed to allow access to the terminals 55 for connection to appropriate readout mechanisms. For example, the strain gauges may be connected to a strain indicator placed in a full (Wheatstone) bridge mode. The initial sensor balance rating is noted while the lower arm weight is suspended by the tensile members. The strain indicator may then be observed to measure the proper preload stress. The prestressing is done by selectively tightening the nuts 37 and 47.
Initial tightening of the nuts 37 and 47 is preferably done with the tubular shroud removed until a strain reading of approximately 500 microinches per inch has been obtained on the strain indicator. The cap screws can then be backed off slightly and retightened to assure proper alignment and seating of the cap screws against the strain gauge plate 50. The shield 62 is then replaced with one end of the shroud being secured rigidly to the adjacent flange and with the remaining end having its set screws loosely positioned for the purpose of transmitting torsion between the shanks 43. The nuts on the first and second tensile members can then be tightened until the sensor readout increases to a prescribed value, say a total of 2500 microinches per inch.
To assure proper positioning of the device on the pipe during this initial preloading, it is generally advisable to lightly tap the upper beam directly over the adjacent shoe with a leather or rubber hammer, repeating the process with the lower beam and with the pipe on each side of the shoes. The vibrations cause the shoes to settle firmly into place and assure proper relative positioning of the first and second tensile members. The device is then ready for use.
The prestressing of the device against the pipe produces a known strain value for the strain indicator. Therefore, both upward and downward pressure fluctuations can be measured. For a pressure "dip", the strain indicator will indicate a load value less than the preload value earlier placed on the device. Positive pressure fluctuations will, of course, produce an indication of strain above the prestress value. The measured strain can then be related directly to pressure fluctuations within the pipe 10, the correlation of which may be produced continuously through appropriate instrumentation.
Very slight pressure fluctuations within the pipe are magnified due to the remote position of the strain gauges from the pipe surface and also due to the thickness and elasticity of the strain gauge plate. Furthermore, the strain gauges measure total diametral pipe dilation. The resulting strain on the gauge plate is therefore substantially greater than the strain produced on a small segment of the pipe circumference as previously accomplished with strain gauges welded or otherwise affixed to the pipe circumference.
With the present device, pressure variations of 3 psi are readily measurable, producing a wall strain in an 8 inch pipe of 1.27 microinches per inch of circumferential wall strain.
The above description and attached drawings are given by way of example to set forth a preferred form of the present invention. The scope of the invention, however, is more precisely defined in the attached claims.

NCAA Execs Show Little Support For Expanding Postseason Events
Published December 8, 2010
CULTURE CLASH: Delany and WAC Commissioner Karl Benson traded some jabs on the panel. Benson wants a system that allows smaller schools to compete more effectively. "There's definitely a hierarchy in these conferences," he said. "I have to look out for my members. It's a business." Delany responded that he was suffering from "BCS defense fatigue." Delany: "The fewer successful pieces [a conference has], the more they want the group to come together." Delany clearly was the elder statesman on the panel. Benson and Big East Commissioner John Marinatto each expressed relief that Delany said he had no plans to expand his conference for the time being. "Twelve will probably be the model," Delany said. In a moment of levity, Beebe, whose conference was raided by the Big Ten and Pac-10 earlier this year, referred to Delany and the Pac-10's Larry Scott as "predators," laughingly adding, "I won't put them in a headlock yet."
EMMERT SITS FOR ONE-ON-ONE: During a one-on-one interview to open the conference, Emmert said the money that comes in through college football helps support the non-revenue collegiate sports. "Our job is to educate young people while giving them a great experience on and off the field," he said. "If you want to support women's gymnastics … it comes from the money that gets recycled to them from the football program." Emmert said he was satisfied with his decision on Auburn QB Cam Newton's eligibility, but allowed that "we probably need to make some rule changes" to deal with these situations more effectively. He unequivocally said that college athletes will not be paid under his watch. "As long as I'm president of NCAA, we will not pay student athletes to play sports." And he lamented, "I'm treated as if I'm commissioner of baseball who can act in an authoritarian manner. That's not the case."

There is a term which was coined around forty years, and is sometimes banded around wine, known as Super Tuscan. However, trying to actually describe what a Super Tuscan is, is quite an effort in itself. There are not any strict guidelines as to what qualifies a wine into a Super Tuscan, but it does … Read more »

Washington (AP) — Counting your calories will become easier under new government rules requiring chain restaurants, supermarkets, convenience stores — and even movie theaters, amusement parks and vending machines — to post the calorie content of food "clearly and conspicuously" on their menus.
The Food and Drug Administration plans to announce the long-delayed rules on Tuesday. The regulations will apply to businesses with 20 or more locations and they will be given until November 2015 to comply.
The idea is that people may pass on that bacon double cheeseburger at a chain restaurant, hot dog at a gas station or large popcorn at the movie theater if they know that it has hundreds of calories. Beverages are included, and alcohol will be labeled if drinks are listed on the menu. Continue reading

Query growth was up just 11 percent in January compared to the same month the year before, according to comScore Media Metrix. The previous year saw a 42 percent rise in the same metric.
Growth in U.S. search queries were up 11 percent in January 2006 compared to the same month in 2005, a new report from comScore Media Metrix finds. While the double-digit growth rate would be healthy for many industries, it looks positively anemic for search, which saw 42 percent growth during the same interval a year ago.
Part of the reason, says comScore president and CEO Magid Abraham, is that new Internet users aren't coming online at the same pace they did previously. Those that do come on, he said, tend to be lighter users who don't search at the same rates as more seasoned veterans. Abraham says that even the growth of broadband, which encourages search because of its always-on nature, isn't enough to boost search growth to its previous highs.
"We do see a significant difference between broadband and narrowband in terms of search usage, and that is partly what's keeping the growth rate in search going up," he said. "But, you know, the flip side of it is that the new people who are being added are lighter users, so the two combined sort of neutralize each other."
Amid the growth slowdown, Google has managed to hold onto, and even grow, its market share. In January of 2005, Google accounted for 35 percent of search queries. A year later, it had grown its share 6.3 percent to 41 percent of the market.
"What Google is doing is capturing a higher share of the new users," said Abraham. "And there's a lot of it that's driven by the reputation that they have. Chances are if you're new to the market and you're coming in, you're going to go to Google as opposed to anybody else."
The news isn't so bright for Google competitors. Yahoo's market share dropped 3 percent, going from 32 percent of the market to 29 percent. MSN, which launched its own search technology in 2005, went from 16 percent of the market to 14 percent, losing 2 percent market share. Ask Jeeves, meanwhile, boosted its share slightly, going from 5.1 percent of the market to 5.6 percent.
Search engines as a whole managed to squeeze more revenues from each query, on average, comScore found. In December 2005, 57 percent of search queries carried a paid search ad, as compared to 49 percent the year before.

How to refinish this table top? - Pics
It is a shiny, black veneer which I can pick pieces off. Is there anything that can be done to salvage the top?
This is a small night table,
Just the way it's flaking makes me think it's paint. Veneer loosens and bubbles and chips, but it doesn't flake like that (with little bits still sticking in a big bare area like you have, or little flakes coming off intact areas). It tends to get chipped and pulled off on edges, drawers, and comes off in 1 piece (even if it's a small chip)with a very definite height difference (since they don't make it actually paper-thin), not little places all over. If the table was always meant to be painted, it could be pretty nondescript wood, no definite grain. Veneer is usually wood-grained, they make it to save money and just put a thin layer of pretty (expensive) wood (often in a pattern) glued to a basic wood. With the damage that extensive, in the middle of the table, you would have to strip everything off and repaint/reveneer (can't patch veneer that bad, in the middle of a piece, if it is veneer, though sometimes they can reveneer chipped edges and blend them in). So try a paint stripper. Then sand, tack, and repaint.
Actually, it's probably a colored lacquer, not what you'd think of as paint (though spray paints are lacquers). I don't think you'd want to spray it again through, so painting and then putting a gloss finish on top would be easier. If it's a fairly small table and you have a steady hand (and mask off the areas you don't want to lacquer), well-ventilated place to work, you can use either a spray lacquer/paint, or brush on a gloss paint and spray or brush on lacquer after the paint is dry. It'll take several thin coats of lacquer to get a deep gloss. You may want to try shellac instead - Bobsmyuncle recommended Zinnser Sealcoat (sold as a sanding sealer) as a good out-of-the-can, readily available product. I haven't used it yet.

Replacing the part is easy. Wait until you have the replacement part and just hook everything up the same way.
Unscrew the plastic housing around the light/thermostat dial housing in the upper right corner of the refrigerator. Pull off the dial carefully. The thermostat line is just snaked around the back wall of the fridge. There is a small plate at the bottom back of the fridge that holds the end of the thermostat line. You can try to remove the line from the plate without unscrewing but I just unscrewed it and slid it off.
The only problem I had is that the new part is not identical to the old. The connector for the yellow wire isn't there anymore. I just hooked up the grey and green wires the same and put the yellow on the only remaining connector (which is in the location of an old connector that was unused and covered on the old part. this is what made me uneasy.).
I've had the fridge set on 3 since last night and its holding steady @ 41 degrees. I put some stuff in there that I don't have to worry about exploding should it freeze. I'm going to let the fridge sit a few more days before I trust it to any beer/soda.

I have the same problem with the contacts of the new thermostat not matching up to the old one. Is your fridge still operating properly after you connected as you described above?
Yes, its working fine several months later. I'm guessing they removed the redundancy of the additional connector and moved it to the unused location.

Replacing a thermostat in most refrigerators is not usually very difficult. You will make it. Good luck.

With the success reported by mmienz, I swapped out the thermostat. It's running fine. The bargain fridge I bought at Goodwill has only cost me $63.00 for the fridge, $24.00 for some acrylic to replace a missing shelf and $33 for the Thermostat. Still better than a new one.
Thanks for the help.

New Home Sales Were Flat In August, But Prices Rose Sharply
By Mark Memmott
While the number of new homes sold in August was barely changed from July, the median sales price was up sharply, the Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development report. So the news adds to other recent signs, including Tuesday's report about higher home prices in major cities, of a recovering housing sector.
According to the report, new homes sold at an annual rate of 373,000 last month — vs. 374,000 in July. The median sales price, though, was $256,900. That was up 11.2 percent from the month before.
