2010 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 Start Up, Exhaust, In Depth Tour, and Short Drive
In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2010 Dodge Challenger
SRT-8. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of
this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique
styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details
of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough
tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall
appreciation of the vehicle.

2010 Challenger Exhaust Comparison
In this video, you will hear a 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T with the 5.7L Hemi
V8 with two different Exhaust systems
on it.
In the first part, it's the stock Exhaust with a Mopar Cold air Intake and
Diablosport Predator tune set to the Perf.91 CAI tune. Keep in mind, this
stock Exhaust is already past it's
break-in period of ~1500 miles, it was at about 2000 so it was fully broken
In the second part of this video you will hear the same car, with the same
intake and same Diablosport tune but with the following added:
JBA Short Tube Headers
JBA High Flow Mid-pipes (2.5" diameter)
Magnaflow Custom built Exhaust with NO
resonators (this is not one of the kits you buy directly, this was built by
the muffler shop I took it to using all Magnaflow pipes and such and cost
The new system sounds great. Has a pretty deep throaty rumble to it. There
is drone, but It's not terrible, I think in time I will actually get used
to it. The system could stand to be louder and have a little less drone,
but other than that, it's great. Added a pretty good amount of power as
well as you can almost always chirp the tires going into second gear now
where as before you could only do it on a lucky occasion.
It has a very clean sound and runs smooth. On the freeway the drone isn't
very bad at all, only when you start to accelerate and get it around 3000
I'll try to get an interior video soon!
Just wanted to add some more personal input now that we have had the system
on for a few weeks.
I mentioned the drone, yes, there is drone, wont deny it. BUT, it's not bad
at all. We have gone on a couple 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hour cruises and it hasn't
bothered us at all. Freeway speeds it's fine, not very bothersome. The only
time it really gets to me at all, is a somewhat slow acceleration, the
first 2-3 gears can put some decent pressure on your ears. But it's easily
avoidable by accelerating slower or faster.
I mentioned that it could be louder. I may have been wrong! This thing is
pretty dang loud! In fact, we compared our system to a friends Corsa
Extreme system (also a 2010 automatic R/T). Guess what, OURS IS LOUDER THAN
THE CORSA EXTREME. At WOT, it's very close, and the Corsa may actually have
a bit more sound. BUT, at start-up, idle, and cruising, the Magnaflow IS
Sorry it's taking so long to get an Interior video, I haven't had to many
chances to get the car away from the old man long enough to bother grabbing
the video camera lol. But it WILL come... Eventually. haha
Any questions, feel free to ask.

nice rumble. but when your riding on the inside, its very quite, and can
hear a low rumble. im very happy with the outcome. see my video before the

The new heteropolysaccharide S-657, prepared by fermentation of a new strain of Xanthomonas campestris, ATCC 53159, has valuable properties as a thickening, suspending and stabilizing agent in aqueous solutions and is especially valuable for use in well treating fluids.
Heteropolysaccharide S-657 is composed principally of carbohydrate, about 12% protein and about 7% (calculated as O-acetyl) acyl groups, the carbohydrate portion containing about 19% glucuronic acid, and the neutral sugars rhamnose and glucose in the approximate molar ratio of 2:1.
1. Heteropolysaccharide S-657, consisting essentially of carbohydrate, substantially no pyruvate, about 12% protein and about 7% acyl groups calculated as O-acetyl, the carbohydrate portion containing about 19% glucuronic acid, and the neutral sugars rhamnose and glucose in the approximate molar ratio of 2:1 wherein the heteropolysaccharide S-657 is produced by a biologically pure culture of Xanthomonas campestris ATCC 53159 in an aqueous nutrient medium by aerobic fermentation of an assimilable carbon source at a pH greater than 6.0 and a temperature of 25�-35� C.
2. A well treating fluid consisting of water and from about 0.01% to about 1.0% by weight of the heteropolysaccharide S-657 according to claim 1.
This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/215,000 filed Jul. 5, 1988, now abandoned, which is a continuation of application Ser. No. 06/750,704 filed Jun 28, 1985, now abandoned.
This invention pertains to the field of microbial polysaccharides In this field, it is known that a common feature of certain microorganisms is the production of exocellular heteropolysaccharides. Heteropolysaccharides are high molecular weight generally linear carbohydrate polymers containing two or more kinds of monosaccharides that form a repeating unit that is polymerized.
The usefulness of most heteropolysaccharides is based on their ability to alter the viscosity and rheology of aqueous solutions. In addition, heteropolysaccharides have related secondary functions, such as emulsification, suspension, stabilization, flocculation, etc. See for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,326,052 and 4,401,760.
Heteropolysaccharides are widely used in food, well drilling, agricultural and a wide variety of other industrial applications. Commercial demand for these water soluble gums has greatly increased over the last few decades. Furthermore, new industrial techniques create a need for heteropolysaccharides with new physical properties. Consequently, the need for heteropolysaccharides with different functionality ranges, coupled with commercial demand, has clearly indicated the necessity for the development of new heteropolysaccharides with new and different physical properties.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a new heteropolysaccharide, which is produced by a new strain of the microorganism Xanthomonas campestris. It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a method for making this new heteropolysaccharide. It is another object to provide microorganisms for making the new compound. A still further object is the provision of formulations containing the new heteropolysaccharide. These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from the ensuing description.
It has now been found that a novel heteropolysaccharide, composed principally of carbohydrate, about 12% protein and about 7% (calculated as O-acetyl) acyl groups, the carbohydrate portion containing about 19% by weight glucuronic acid and the neutral sugars rhamnose and glucose in the approximate molar ratio of 2:1, is produced by the action of a new strain of Xanthomonas campestris on a selected carbon source. This novel compound is prepared by aerobic fermentation of a suitable aqueous nutrient medium with the new strain of Xanthomonas campestris. A deposit under the Budapest Treaty of a biologically pure culture of this organism was made with the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Maryland, on June 19, 1985 under Accession No. ATCC 53159. This heteropolysaccharide, referred to herein as heteropolysaccharide S-657, has desirable properties in aqueous systems and is especially useful in formulating oil well treating fluids.
The novel organism of the present invention was isolated from an algal sample taken from a marsh near Eureka, California. The organism was picked as a gummy colony from a YM agar plate after 4 days of incubation at 30� C. The isolate was then pure cultured on nutrient agar.
A flask seed was started from a nutrient agar culture of the isolate. This seed was then used to inoculate another flask containing a nutrient medium having hydrolyzed starch as the carbon source. After incubation, this flask was noted to contain a viscous beer and upon addition of isopropyl alcohol a fibrous material was precipitated. Another flask seed was started and used to determine the effect of various nutrient media on gum production and to determine the best growth media and fermentation conditions for this microorganism.
Heteropolysaccharide S-657 is produced during the aerobic fermentation of suitable aqueous nutrient media under controlled conditions via inoculation with a culture of the organism ATCC 53159. The media contain sources of assimilable carbon, nitrogen, and inorganic salts.
In general, carbohydrates (for example, glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose, xylose, lactose and the like) can be used either alone or in combination as sources of assimilable carbon in the nutrient medium. The exact quantity of the carbohydrate source or sources utilized in the medium depends in part upon the other ingredients of the medium but, in general, the amount of carbohydrate usually varies between about 2% and 5% by weight of the medium. These carbon sources may be used individually or combined in the medium.
Generally, many proteinaceous materials may be used as nitrogen sources for the fermentation process. Suitable nitrogen sources include, for example, yeast hydrolysates, primary yeast, soybean meal, cottonseed flour, hydrolysates of casein, cornsteep liquor, distiller's solubles or tomato paste and the like. The sources of nitrogen, either alone or in combination, are used in amounts preferably ranging from about 0.05% to 0.2% by weight of the aqueous medium.
Among the nutrient inorganic salts which can be incorporated in the culture media are the customary salts capable of yielding sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, phosphate, sulfate, chloride, carbonate, and the like ions. Also included are trace metals such as cobalt, manganese, iron and magnesium.
It should be noted that the nutrient media described herein are merely illustrative of the wide variety of media which may be employed, and are not intended to be limiting.
As an alternate medium, S-657 may be grown under low calcium ion conditions, i.e., in deionized water or some other aqueous system substantially free of calcium ions (i.e., less than about 4 ppm Ca++ per 1% gum in the final fermentor broth).
The fermentation is carried out at temperatures ranging from about 25� C. to 35� C.; however, for optimum results it is preferable to conduct the fermentation at temperatures of from about 28� C. to 32� C. The pH of the nutrient media for growing the ATCC 53159 culture and producing the heteropolysaccharide S-657 can vary from about 6 to 8.
Although S-657 is produced by both surface and submerged culture, it is preferred to carry out the fermentation in the submerged state.
A small scale fermentation is conveniently carried out by inoculating a suitable nutrient medium with the culture and, after transfer to a production medium, permitting the fermentation to proceed at a constant temperature of about 30� C. on a shaker for several days.
The fermentation is initiated in a sterilized flask of medium via one or more stages of seed development. The nutrient medium for the seed stage may be any suitable combination of carbon and nitrogen sources. The seed flask is shaken in a constant temperature chamber at about 30� C. for 1-2 days, or until growth is satisfactory, and some of the resulting growth is used to inoculate either a second stage seed or the production medium. Intermediate stage seed flasks, when used, are developed in essentially the same manner; that is, part of the contents of the flask from the last seed stage are used to inoculate the production medium. The inoculated flasks are shaken at a constant temperature for several days, and at the end of the incubation period the contents of the flasks are recovered by precipitation with a suitable alcohol such as isopropanol.
For large scale work, it is preferable to conduct the fermentation in suitable tanks provided with an agitator and a means of aerating the fermentation medium. According to this method, the nutrient medium is made up in the tank and sterilized by heating at temperatures of up to about 121� C. Upon cooling, the sterilized medium is inoculated with a previously grown seed of the producing culture, and the fermentation is permitted to proceed for a period of time as, for example, from 2 to 4 days while agitating and/or aerating the nutrient medium and maintaining the temperature at about 30� C. This method of producing S-657 is particularly suited for the preparation of large quantities.
The heteropolysaccharide produced by ATCC 53159 is composed principally of carbohydrate, about 12% protein and about 7% by weight (calculated as O-acetyl) acyl groups, and substantially no pyruvate. The carbohydrate portion of S-657 contains about 19% glucuronic acid (based on weight of gum) and the neutral sugars rhamnose and glucose in the approximate molar ratio of 2:1.
The acetyl content of about 7% was determined by two separate techniques. A 0.2% aqueous solution of S-657 gum was treated with an alkaline, hydroxylamine reagent followed by treatment with an acidic ferric chloride reagent and colorimetric analysis [See S. Hestrin (1949) J. Biol. Chem. 180, 249-261]. The O-acyl group was identified as O-acetyl and determined by liquid chromatography.
The neutral sugars of S-657 were also determined by various techniques. One method involves hydrolyzing 50 mg of S-657 in 1 ml of 1M H2 SO4 at 100� C. for 4 hours. After cooling, 0.5 ml of 3 mg/ml xylose was added as an internal standard. Samples were neutralized by adding 3 ml of saturated Ba(OH)2, then two drops of Congo Red and Ba(OH)2 until the color changed to red. After centrifuging (20 minutes at 3000 RPM) the supernatants of all samples were evaporated. Dry samples were dissolved in 0.1 ml of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (40 mg/ml in dry pyridine) and heated at 90� C. for 45 minutes. After cooling 0.1 ml acetic anhydride is added and the samples again heated at 90� C. for 45 minutes. The sugars were separated by gas-liquid chromatography of their aldononitrile acetate derivatives and were identified and quantified by comparison with authentic standards [J. K. Baird, M. J. Holroyde, and D. C. Ellwood (1973) Carbohydr. Res. 27, 464-467].
The various neutral sugars of this polysaccharide were also characterized by a second method which involves dissolving approximately 2 mg of S-657 in 0.5M trifluoroacetic acid (2 ml). The sample was kept at 100� C. overnight, concentrated to dryness and dissolve in water (2 ml). Sodium borohydride (25 mg) was added and after 2 hours the solution was treated with Dowex 50 (H+) after which the pH dropped to 3.5. After filtration, the solution was concentrated and codistilled with methanol (3�5 ml). The residue was dissolved in a mixture of acetic anhydride (1 ml) and pyridine (1 ml), kept at 100� C. for 1 hour and concentrated. After codistillation with toluene (3�5 ml), the residue was dissolved in methylene chloride and analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography.

The glycuronic acid content of the polysaccharide was determined by decarboxylation with 17% hydrochloric acid, followed by trapping the liberated carbon dioxide in standard sodium hydroxide and back tritration [B. L. Browning (1967) Methods of Wood Chemistry 2, 632-633]. The decarboxylation method gave values between 17.6% and 19.6% for three different samples of S-657.
Paper electrophoresis was used for the separation and identification of the uronic acids present in the neutralized acid hydrolysate described above. Aliquots of this and known uronic acid standards were applied to electrophoresis paper and electrophoresis was carried out for 2 hours in a pH 2.7 buffer. Chromatograms were air dried and stained with silver nitrate to locate the uronic acids being separated. The only confirmed uronic acid spot was found to be glucuronic acid.
The absence of pyruvate was determined by adding 1 ml of a 2 mg/ml solution of S-657 to a culture tube, and adding 1 ml of 0.2N HCl, and heating at 100� C. for 4 hours. A 0.5 ml sample of hydrolysate was added to 0.1 ml of reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide (NADH) and 2.4 ml of triethanolamine solution. The absorbance was detected on a spectrophotometer and pyruvate measured. [Duckworth and Yaphe Chem. & Ind. (1970) p. 747.]No significant pyruvate was detected.
Nitrogen analysis was performed by Kjeldahl digestion and was determined as about 1.5% by weight nitrogen (between about 1.3% and 1.9% for 3 samples). Solids and ash analysis showed S-657 contained about 94% by weight solids (91.8%-95.8%) and 9% (7.8-10.3%) by weight ash. The protein content was determined to be about 12% (7.5%-14.5%) by the method of Lowry et al., [J. Biol. Chem., (1951), 193, p. 256], using bovine serum albumin as standard.
Methylation analysis was performed on partially purified samples of S-657 after dialysis and freeze drying. The samples were methylated according to the procedures outlined in Sandford & Conrad, (1966) Biochem. 5 1508-1507. The O-methyl ether derivatives of the sugars as their aditol acetates were separated by gas chromatography and identified by computer matching with authentic standards. The major methylated sugars identified are shown in Table 2, below.

It is to be understood that, although the methods of analysis of the heteropolysaccharide described herein were the actual methods used in arriving at the composition described above, other methods of analysis are available to one skilled in the art. Utilization of other methods of analysis should result in the same characterization of the heteropolysaccharide, however, slightly different quantitative results may be reported.
Heteropolysaccharide S-657 has been found to have outstanding properties in aqueous solution, especially in having very high viscosity at very low concentrations, good temperature stability and good foam stability. Because of this, it is useful as a thickening, suspending, emulsifying, stabilizing, lubricating, film-forming, or binding agent. S-657 has utility in various industrial, petroleum and food applications where high viscosity and excellent thermal and foam stability are desirable. In particular it has uses in the following applications or products: adhesives, wall joint cements, water-retentive grouts and mortars, spackling compounds, can sealants, boiler compounds, latex creaming, welding-rod fluxes, braising pastes, ceramic glazes and extrusions, cleaners and polishers, toys, emulsions (latex, asphalt, silicone), silver recovery, seed coatings, spray control for pesticides or herbicides, emulsifiable concentrates and flowable pesticides and herbicides, tobacco binders, water based inks, lithographic fountain solutions, leather finishes, hydromulching and hydro-seeding, textile printing and finishing, wet-end paper additives, wet-end paper retention and formation aids, anti-slick compounds, mold-release agents, liquid resins, slurry and packaged explosives, petroleum and water-well drilling muds, petroleum workover and completion fluids, petroleum stimulation fluids, cosmetics, pharmaceutical suspensions and emulsions.
This gum also has utility in food systems such as jellies and other high sugar systems, beverages including citric acid based drinks, dairy products including ice cream and yogurt, salad dressings, dry mixes, icings, and glazes, syrups, puddings, farinaceous foods, canned and retorted foods and bakery fillings.
A particularly valuable utility is in the field of petroleum and water well treating fluids and muds. Heteropolysaccharide S-657 has been found to be particularly useful in aqueous media especially formulated for use as a well treating fluid.
Well treating fluids refers to a broad spectrum of media that are used to facilitate operations during the various stages of drilling and using a well, such as a gas or oil well. The term "well treating fluids" comprises, for example, circulating drilling fluids, workover and completion fluids, coring fluids, and stimulation fluids (hydraulic fracturing and acidizing) and enhanced oil recovery fluids. Materials which may be present in such fluids include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, barium sulfate, amorphous silica, calcium carbonate, bentonite, attapulgite, sodium metasulfate, quebracho, calcium lignosulfonate, lime, calcium sulfate, calcium chloride, petroleum sulfonate, tall oil soap, crude and diesel oils, starches, biocides, and polymers such as CMC, polyacrylamides, and polyacrylates. It will be appreciated that not all of these compounds will be present in any particular fluid but, rather, that compounds will be selected by the well operator in the amount necessary for the particular task to be performed. Because of the differing underground conditions experienced during and after a well is drilled, adjustments to the well treating fluid and replacement of one fluid with another are to be expected.
S-657 has been found to exhibit properties such as high viscosity for improved suspension, heat and salt stability, shear stability, and good viscosity recovery after heating and cool-down which make it desirable as a rheology modifier in well-treating fluids.
Representative well treating fluid formulations are provided in Examples 4 and 5. These formulations are not intended to be limiting but are suggestive of a range of possible well treating fluid formulations that can be prepared with S-657. Heteropolysaccharide S-657 is usable in such formulations in the range of 0.01% to 1.0% by weight.
The high viscosity of S-657 at low concentrations makes the heteropolysaccharide particularly useful as a viscosifier for enhanced oil recovery. S-657 is usable in such operations at concentrations ranging from 0.01% to 0.2% by weight, preferably in the range of 0.02% to 0.1%.
Heteropolysaccharide S-657 has a particular profile of solution properties that is a distinctive characteristic of this polysaccharide and which enables it to be distinguished over other heteropolysaccharides. S-657 has the following profile of properties:

Heteropolysaccharide S-657 may be prepared by fermentation of a suitable nutrient medium with a novel microorganism, which is a new strain of Xanthomonas campestris. A deposit under the Budapest Treaty of a biologically pure culture of the microorganism employed in making this heteropolysaccharide was made with the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Maryland, on June 19, 1985 under Accession No. ATCC 53159.
The ATCC also performed the taxonomic identification of the bacterial isolate S-657. Internal ATCC data for Xanthomonas campestris strains previously characterized by ATCC were consulted as well as various classifications in the published literature including Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology 1984, Vol. 1, Krug & Holt eds., Williams & Wilkins; D. W. Dye, N. Zealand J. Med., 5, p. 393-416 (1962), and M. P. Starr, The Genus Xanthomonas in the Prokaryotes, (1981).
When peritrichous flagella for this Xanthomonas microorganism were confirmed the recent literature was consulted, including Palleroni, N. in Clarke, P. H. and M. H. Richmond (1975), Genetics and Biochemistry of Pseudomonas pg. 5-6, Wiley & Sons; Palleroni, N. Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology (1984), pg. 142, Volume 1; Hugh, R. and G. Gilardi in Lennette, Balows, Hausler and Truant, (1980), Manual of Clinical Microbiology, pg. 290, American Society for Microbiology; Palleroni, N., M. Doudoroff, R. Y. Stanier, R. E. Solanes and M. Mendel (1970), Journal of General Microbiology, Vol. 60: 215-231; Ulitzwr, S. (1975), Arch. Microbiology, Vol 104: 285-288; and Shinoda, S. and Okamoto, K. (1977), Journal of Bacteriology, Vol. 129: 1266-1271.
After review of the literature, it was determined that the morphological character of polar flagellation for Xanthomonas, which until recently was considered typical, has greatly reduced taxonomic significance because of cases of abnormal (i.e. lateral) flagellation. The organism was therefore classified as Xanthomonas campestris because it has the appropriate characteristics.
Typically, Xanthomonas campestris produces xanthan gum by pure culture fermentation processes. The carbohydrate portion of xanthan gum contains glucuronic acid and the neutral sugars glucose and mannose. Heteropolysaccharide S-657, which cannot be considered to be a xanthan gum, contains glucose and rhamnose, but not mannose. Thus, a novel strain of Xanthomonas campestris, which produces heteropolysaccharide S-657, is provided by ATCC 53159.
On nutrient agar, colonies appear in two days at 30� C. with a diameter reaching about 0.5-1.0 mm in diameter. The colonies are round, entire, translucent, smooth and light yellow in pigment. With the addition of 1% glucose to nutrient agar, the colonies become mucoid, domed and shining.
The cell size is about 0.8-1.0�2.0-3.0 μm on nutrient agar, occurring singly in pairs and in long chains. The cells are gram-negative, actively motile rods with tapered ends. Flagella are peritrichous.
Table 3, below, presents the results of numerous biochemical and physiological tests employed in the identification of this microorganism:

A YM flask seed was started from a 48-hour nutrient agar culture placed on a gyrotary shaker at 30� C. Approximately, 24 hours later this seed was used to inoculate a flask containing E1 medium with 3% hydrolyzed starch as the carbon source. This medium was also placed on a gyrotary shaker at 30� C. Approximately 72 hours later, this flask was noted to have viscous beer, and upon addition of 2 volumes of 99% isopropyl alcohol, a fibrous precipitate was noted.
E1 medium contains 5 g of dipotassium phosphate, 0.1 g of magnesium sulfate, 0.9 g of ammonium nitrate, 0.5 g of Promosoy 100 (an enzymatic digest of soybean meal sold by Central Soya Chemurgy Division), 30 g of dextrose and 1 L of tap water. The pH of the E1 medium is about 7.6-7.8.
Another YM seed flask was prepared in the above fashion and used at 24 hours to inoculate 5 flasks containing various media and these flasks were incubated at 30� C. on a gyrotary shaker for about 72 hours at which time the pH, viscosity, gum yield and product viscosity were measured. The results are shown in Table 4 below.

As seen from the above results, the best growth medium is E1 with 3% hydrolyzed starch and HoLe salts.
A fermentation procedure for producing large quantities of heteropolysaccharide S-657 is provided.
A 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask containing 100 ml of YM broth (Difco) was inoculated with a loopful of S-657 cells from a 48-hour nutrient agar plate. The flask was incubated for 24 hours at 30� C. on a gyrotary shaker set at 400 rpm. A 1% inoculum was then made into two 500 ml Erlenmeyer flasks containing 100 ml each of seed medium. The seed medium contained:
______________________________________ Glucose 3% K2 HPO4 0.5% NH4 NO3 0.09% MgSO4.7H2 O 0.01% Promosoy 100 0.05% HoLe salts 1 ml/L______________________________________
The medium was prepared in tap water. HoLe salts are prepared by adding the following ingredients to one liter of deionized or distilled water:

These flasks were incubated at 30� C. on a gyrotary shaker at 400 rpm for 24 hours at which point they were used to inoculate a 5 L fermentor vessel containing 3000 ml (final volume) of the same medium. The fermentation was controlled at 30� C. and the aeration rate at 1 L/minute. The agitation was started at 400 rpm and increased thereafter to ensure good mixing. At 24 hours approximately 2.5 L of this seed were used to inoculate a 70 L fermentor containing 50 L (final volume) of the following medium:
______________________________________Glucose 3.0%K2 HPO4 0.05%NH4 NO3 0.09%MgSO4.7H2 O 0.01%Promosoy 100 0.05%HoLe Salts 1 ml/LFe++ 1 ppmSag 5691 0.005%(a defoamingagent suppliedby Union Carbide)______________________________________
The temperature was maintained at 30� C. and the aeration rate at 10 L/minute until 25 hours into the fermentation where it was adjusted to 20 L/minute. It remained at that rate for the remainder of the fermentation. The pH was controlled at greater than 6.0 by the addition of 40% KOH as needed using an automatic pH control system. The agitation was initially set at 300 rpm and was increased to 550 rpm at 25 hours, to 750 rpm at 48 hours and to 800 rpm at 72 hours. It remained at 800 rpm for the remainder of the fermentation. The results of this fermentation are given in Table 5 below.

A total of 150 ml of 40% KOH were used to control the pH during the fermentation. The fermentation liquor was heated to approximately 75� C. for 15 minutes and then cooled to approximately 30� C. The fermentation liquor was added to three volumes of 99% isopropanol. The polysaccharide precipitated as a fibrous material which was easily recovered using a sieve. The fibers were dried in a forced air tray drier at 140� F. for 2.5 hours before being milled to a powder.
Taxonomic identification was accomplished by comparing certain physiological and biochemical characteristics of the isolate S-657 with characteristics typical of Xanthomonas campestris identified in Bergey's 1984 Manual and in the results of 28 strains previously characterized by ATCC. The results are shown in Table 6 below.

"Predicting the crisis would have required foreseeing the risks posed by the shadow banking system, which were missed not only by academic economists, but by just about everyone else on the planet (including the ratings agencies!)."
That's simply not true! Plenty of articles have been written about those who got it right, mostly Austrian economists. Of course, no one in mainstream economics got it right. Maybe that's what he meant.
"...the blogosphere have been confusing a failure to anticipate the crisis with a failure to have the research available to comprehend it."
I disagree. The blogosphere thinks that economists should have been able to see the worst depression since WWII coming. Knowledge implies the ability to predict. Everyone knows that mainstream economics can predict the last depression very accurately.
"Bottom line: as happened in both the wake of the Great Depression and the Great Stagflation, economic research is responding."
And responding and responding, but never getting any closer to being able to predict the next one. There is a great deal of evidence that mainstream economics has not improved at all since the Great D. If it had, why did all of the mainstream economists fall back on Keynes when prescribing remedies? The current debate seems like the same one in the 1930's.
"...demand for our services by the ultimate consumers of modern applied macro research—policy makers and staff at central banks—seems to be higher than ever."
So demand by state institutions for theories that justify policies that politicians already want to implement is a sign of success? BTW, this explains one of the chief reasons for the sudden popularity of Keynes in the 1930's. Politicians since Teddy Roosevelt had been promoting state intervention in the economy to "control" capitalism. Progressivism pre-dated Keynes by decades. All Keynes did was give politicians academic credibility for what they already wanted to do and had been doing for decades. It appears that believes that providing academic cover for political ideas is the only reason for economics to exist.

The community is very lucky no one was on the sidewalk between the 91-year-old driver and the Flegel's window when this happened. I know it's not PC to point the finger at aging drivers but this driver is probably someone who needs to hang up his license. Clearly, if he "hit the gas" to back up with the force that sent him over the curb and through the store window, bad things were going to happen regardless which direction the driver found himself moving in.

Wasn't there another incident of an elderly (80+ year old) driver in a haze of similar confusion plowing into Starbucks on Avy recently? There have been a number of such incidents, in fact, all over the Bay Area and elsewhere. When are we going to start recognizing the need to test elderly drivers more often and more rigorously?
I recently learned that in Ireland the maximum age for driving legally is 78. In this country of limited mass transit choices, I think that might be too severe, but still, Ireland's law is based on a reasonable premise. If we have to accommodate the 80+ year old driver to a certain degree because of our lack of mass transit, we at least need to redouble our effort to ascertain that older people are still capable of driving safely.

REVIEWER: Cookah
This is by far the best slow cooked roast recipe I have tried. The red wine makes it so rich and delicious. I doubled the sauce ingredients as I know my family love it all over their potatoes etc as well. I sealed the beef first in a frying pan and fried onions first and also added 2 cloves of garlic and some Massal Beef stock. Came out perfectly and I served with mashed potatoes. Tried this as we needed a break from salads the other night and I've already been told it's to be cooked regularly in winter. Thanks for sharing a fantastic recipe.
REVIEWER: Shannon
This was so easy to prepare and the meat was so tender. I used the beef with the thyme and pepper as the recipe suggested. Served over mashed potato and vegetables. Will be making this again.

Writing Your Own Image Gallery Application with the UNIX Shell
Digital photography has become so ubiquitous today that even medium-range mobile phones can capture photographs. Once you transfer photos to the PC, you need to be able to share them with friends and relatives. Most digital cameras produce such high-resolution images that sending them directly to folks via e-mail is not always convenient.
This is when you need an on-line photo-sharing Web site, such as flickr.com, to help share photographs simply by uploading them. Of course, you also can do the heavy lifting with tools such as gallery2.
But, in this article, I discuss how to utilize the power of the Linux command line to create an image gallery.
All of you have heard of the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). It is useful for interactive image manipulation, photo retouching and other editing purposes, but I find it quite difficult to use. There are often much simpler alternatives that do a much better job for commonplace image editing. The nice thing about these alternatives is that you can run them directly from the almighty command line, which can save time and facilitate easy scripting. Here are some such tools that interest me:
qiv: this one is the fastest of the lot. It is lightweight, and it can handle a huge list of images on the command line. In fact, you can reproduce the "persistence of vision" effect of video by dumping the frames using MPlayer's -vo jpeg or -vo png driver and view them using qiv *. Pressing the spacebar gives the same effect of actually watching the video sans the audio.
xloadimage: xloadimage, or xli, is another application for viewing images.
xv: this one is rather outdated now, but it is worth taking a look at it. Some of its image processing algorithms are cool.
tgif: tgif, along with dia, xfig and friends, is most useful for creating technical drawings, block diagrams and the like. I find tgif to be really user-friendly and powerful when it comes to certain common image processing tasks, such as generating a collage or mosaic of images and annotating images with text.
Netpbm suite: this suite has more than 200 command-line utilities and is used for advanced image processing purposes that primarily are designed to be invoked from the Linux command line.
ImageMagick suite: this suite can be described as the be-all end-all of image processing. It has mind-boggling capabilities that can create animations, logos, convert file formats and, of course, do highly sophisticated image processing. Go to www.imagemagick.org/Usage for details on all it can do.
In this article, I focus primarily on using the ImageMagick toolkit for the purpose of creating an image gallery.
Obviously, you will want the gallery to be an HTML page for sharing with friends using the Web.
The first step involves generating thumbnails for all the images. These have to be linked to the images using HTML tags. But, before that, you need to take care of the images' varying orientations. Different photographs may have different dimensions, and you should be able to categorize the thumbnails based on that. This is no hard and fast rule, but I prefer it this way.
The next task is to annotate the images with relevant text, by watermarking either below or above the image. ImageMagick has a rich toolchest for achieving this task in an elegant manner.
You also will want to be able to retrieve, save and optionally display the EXIF data embedded in the photographs. After annotating the images, you may want to generate borders, frames or 3-D reliefs for better visual appeal. Usually, they look nice on Web pages with a white background.
Another nice-to-have feature is to be able to generate black-and-white photo equivalents. Of course, in addition to all this, if users want to download the original, untouched, pristine photo in full size, they should be able to do so. It might be worthwhile to provide a download link for all the photos in one single zip file.
For people who don't like clicking on each of the thumbnails, you can provide a slideshow. But, on Linux, you can do much better. You can create a full-fledged video with sound effects. I prefer a nice MIDI tune, appropriate for the occasion and mood of the snaps. This has a side benefit of being directly writable to DVD too.
But before this, it's a good idea to create vertical and horizontal mirror images of each of the photos. That way, the video has a better flow and visual appeal. It so happens that this is extremely easy to do with the Linux command line and ImageMagick.
You might have other requirements, such as correcting the exposure, brightness or contrast, cropping out certain parts of the image or doing photo retouching with more interesting effects. Again, ImageMagick can do the trick (as can qiv and other image display tools). To correct images, you might prefer an interactive tool, such as The GIMP or tgif.
Other possibilities exist, such as creating a mosaic of images annotated with nice fonts, but this does not make much sense in an image gallery application.

i traded a newer car for this truck have to say it was worth yes its had some problems but nothing serious the biggest problem ive had is iac valve going out 40 dollar part and the tailgate handle broke this truck runs great smooth riding i would have another one

I bought this truck used with 72K, now I'm up to 138K and the 2.3L (5 spd Man) engine is running good. During the cold months, I get 20-22 on the Hwy, but when it's warm, I've gotten 27! The body has held up great and I've had to replace some things like brake lines, Pwr Steering lines, Upper and lower ball joints, e-brake cable and the surprise was the brackets on the rear springs. But overall, I'm paying less than a car payment. My boys want me to keep it for when they start driving it. I put some new Cooper ATR tires on it this year and it's done pretty good getting up the hill on my drive way here in the CLE area with 200lb of sand in the back.

Original owner, 4.0 V6 manual extended cab. Easy to work on, gas mileage is good, and has hauled in some bigger loads than one might expect for its size. Roomy enough for me (6'3"). Things I've had to repair, in order: The O2 sensor, under warranty, <5000 miles. Starter relay ($9) flaked out at 70K. Throwout bearing (manual) at around 90K miles, garage charged $300 for that and a clutch replacement. Driveshaft carrier bearing disintegrated at about 120K miles, $30 part. Gas pedal mounting bolts/rivets (<$1) fell out at 140K. Front brakes at around 160K miles, in the $30-$60 range. At 174K miles the ignition switch shorted and the truck was trying to start without a key, $20 part.

It's a very reliable truck. I bought it
used in 10/97. I love it! The only
thing besides normal wear items like a
battery, tires and oil changes, is that
I had to replace the oil pan seal. The
one thing I don't like is the lack of
power(3.0L)and performance going up the

Country Risk Service Spain 4th Quarter
- Language: English
- 22 Pages
- Published: October 2014
- Region: Spain
Alexander Stubb replaced Jyrki Katainen as prime minister and head of the National Coalition Party (Conservatives, or KOK) in June 2014. Soon afterwards the government agreed a new programme that prioritises growth over austerity. The budget for 2015 also contains new stimulus measures designed to appease the electorate.
In September 2014 the Green Party withdrew from Finland's multi-party coalition after members of parliament approved plans for a Russian-backed nuclear reactor. This follows the Left Alliance's exit from the government in protest at fiscal adjustment plans in March and leaves the remaining four-party coalition with an uncomfortably slim three-seat majority in parliament.
The level of political instability has increased, but the government survived votes of no confidence in early 2015 and is expected to see out its term until April 2015. The Economist Intelligence Unit predicts that the Centre Party (KESK) will receive the highest share of support at the next election, and opt to form a centre-left coalition that includes the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
