After rovers, NASA sets its eyes on unmanned submarines
One could probably say that NASA has gotten land and aerial space travel down to a T, with numerous rockets, satellites, and rovers under its belt. One thing that is quite novel for it is underwater exploration. But being NASA, it is, of course, more interested in water that isn't on Earth. Now the world's premiere space agency is making plans to design and build a drone submarine, one that would travel to space and explore Titan, one of Saturn's many moons.

Film Review: Life After Beth (2014)
SYNOPSIS: Zach's girlfriend, Beth, comes back from the dead. He resumes his relationship with her, but all is not well, he soon finds. REVIEW: LIFE AFTER BETH is a hip, feel-good romantic comedy . . . with zombies. Comparisons to WARM BODIES will inevitably be made, but that's beside the point. Beth (Aubrey Plaza) has died. No one is taking it as hard as Zach (Dane DeHaan). He's devastated. He can't move on. His coping … Continue reading

Honda Amaze launched in Thailand
The much awaited Honda Amaze compact sedan that is based on the Brio hatchback has been launched in Thailand. At the moment, Honda has only launched the petrol version of the Amaze in Thailand that is powered by its 1.2-litre i-VTEC engine. Available in four variants (two automatic and two manual), the Honda Amaze has been priced between 454,000 THB and 521,000 THB (Rs 8.16 lakh and Rs 9.35 lakh).
The Japanese car maker will be launching both petrol and diesel versions of the Amaze compact sedan in India next year. And judging by the current market scenario the Honda Amaze is expected to be priced between Rs 5 lakh and Rs 6.5 lakh for the petrol variants and Rs 6 lakh to Rs 7.5 lakh for the diesel models.
The petrol Amaze will be powered by the company's 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine that does duty in the Brio and Jazz hatchbacks.
As for the diesel engine, Honda had unveiled its 1.6 diesel engine at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. However, due to regulations in India diesel engines displacing less than 1,500cc bear lower taxes.
Honda is therefore working on a downsized 1.5-litre i-DTEC engine with a shorter stroke and slightly different exhaust treatment that will displace less than 1,500cc. This makes perfect sense since the Amaze is a compact and lightweight sedan.

An otter for this one, taken at Twycross Zoo…
The same grass texture was used that I used in this one with the main image placed on to it and erased to blend it in. A water texture was added to the bottom of the frame and erased to blend because, well, it's a picture of an otter, I thought it needed some water. :) This was duplicated again and theopacity reduced. Flattened and converted to black and white, contrast adjusted in curves and a sepia tone added in curves also.
WOW!!! Excellent processing work James!!!
Thnaks, Greta. :)

Long Distance Relationship Quotes, Sayings
You may be out of my sight… But never out of my mind… I Miss You!
If the only place where I could see you was in my dreams, I'd sleep forever.
True love doesn't mean being inseparable; it means being separated and nothing changes.
Dear you,
I may be thousands of miles away but you're still the first thing on my mind.
Distance doesn't ruin relationships. Doubts do.
I hate the stars because I look at the same ones as you do, without you.
Distance is to love like wind is to fire…it extinguishes the small and kindles the great!
The distance between you & me is trust. Can you now realize how short it is?
Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire.
– Francois de la Rouchefoucauld
Miles can't separate two hearts that really care.
My love for you will not falter, it will not weaken, it will not diminish, even with all the miles between us.
Don't measure the distance; measure my love.
Long distance relationships are like wind to a fire,Winds put out the small fires, but inflame the big ones!
Together forever never apart. Maybe in distance but never in heart.
No dignity without distance.
– Mason Cooley
I think we dream so we don't have to be apart for so long. If we are in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time.
– Bill Watterson
The distant soul can shake the distant friend's soul and make the longing felt, over untold miles.
– John Masefield
Distance doesn't matter cos you always visit me every night when I sleep. (dreams to come true)
Long distance relationship will work if two people involve are strong in faith, love and respect for each other.
The scariest thing about distance is that you don't know whether they'll miss you or forget you.
I hate waiting. But if wait means being able to be with you, I'll wait for as long as forever to be with you.
When you are missing, the whole world seems depopulated to me.
If there ever comes a day when we can't be together…Keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever.
And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.
– Khalil Gibran
When two hearts are meant for each other, no distance is too far, no time is too long, and no other love can break them apart.

19 february, 2015
For the first time the organic certified Armenian products produced with Shen assistance had been presented at the 22nd International Trade Fair for Food and Beverages ProdExpo 2015. Also for the first time a special section on organic food were organized at ProdExpo 2015. Totally 9 organic food producers with 18 products: herbal teas, dried fruit, juices, fresh fruit, honey and the like were presented at Shen umbrella booth.
Though organic food market recently has started developing in Russia the consumer interest towards our products appeared to be significant. Thus based on acquired contacts during Prodexpo 2015, Shen plans to facilitate establishment of new commercial links between wholesale buyers in the Russian markets and Armenian organic food producers.
A Major Rural Development Agency in Armenia
To become a reliable partner for vulnerable rural communities in their endeavour to create better life.
Mission Statement
Shen promotes social-economic development and empowerment of remote, vulnerable communities with active involvement of community members. Through transferring new knowledge and skills, promotion of employment, improvement of community infrastructures, strengthening CBOs, we strive to make those communities attractive for life and work.
Shen's mission is very appealing to Diaspora Armenians who aim to support their compatriots in Armenia to become well off and empowered to create their prosperity with their own hands. If you share this idea, join us - following in the footsteps of Yalkezian Foundation (www.yalkezian.com).
About us
The word "shen" means a well-to-do, a prosperous village in Armenian. It is our goal that all the villages of Armenia will become "shens" in the foreseen future.
Shen NGO was created in 1988, by a group of professors and students of Yerevan Polytechnic Institute to address some of the urgent humanitarian problems that faced people of Armenia. As time changed we made a shift from outreach projects to Integrated Community Development. Yet considering the potential vital role of Market Forces in income generation for rural popualtion we engage facilitative ladership dealing with market players alongside the value chain aiming at sustainable outcomes for our economic development projects (M4P projects).
The cornerstone of all Shen development projects is long-term sustainability which is our vision since the establishment for all the implemented activities in over 350 rural communities of Armenia. This has been accomplished with significant support of our sister NGO Shen France and the Armenian Diaspora. We would also like to acknowledge hereby our partner donors - World Council of Churches, Christian Aid (UK), IFAD, EED (Germany), ICCO (the Netherlands), Oxfam Novib (the Netherlands), EPER (Switzerland), KASA Foundation (Switzerland), UNDP, UNFPA, USDA, FAO, DFID, USAID, SDC (Switzerland).
In 2010, right after entering Armenian market, Orange Armenia, a subsidiary of France Telecom, started cooperation with Shen within the framework of its Corporate Social Responsibility policy. Thus, long-lasting successful cooperation with the transparent and socially responsible multinational corporation is bringing tangible and sustainable outcomes in about 10 vulnerable communities of Armenia annually.

Old 40's Bed Frame - Want to Black Distress Finish (pic)
Hi there! I scored an awesome old bed frame and rails at the local Elks rummage sale. (Is it 30's 40's?) The bed is solid and in excellent condition. The finish.... Terrible. Have already started sanding rough areas. I would like to make it a distressed black finish. With the brown showing through. I have some experience with re-finishing etc. I am an antiques-a-holic. I've rescued some pretty scary pieces and given them new life. What do you suggest?
I my opinion that's way too nice to paint black and distress.....
Your picture looks like a beautiful piece of cherry or maple, in a sort of art nouveau style....perhaps even earlier that 1900.
Linda C
I'm all for natural wood! I would love this to be restored, but it is really in bad shape. The top where the decorative piece is came off on each side. I had to sand the area that it came off. There is a lot of veneer that is loose that I puttied and sanded smooth. Some of the veneer is actually gone. Just sanded smooth in those areas. The picture looks a lot better than it really is. In my opinion, there's no hope for it to be left in it's original finish. I would never do something like this to a piece I thought I could save. You really think it is that old?
It's a great bed, do not paint it black ! (that's just my opinion)
It's Walnut 99% sure,though not 100% sure about that band across the bottom of the footboard. Looks like Mahogany or Rosewood. Find someone who has veneers and get yourself some Walnut and do the repairs. I'd be happy to walk ya thru it.
As for the missing carvings on top, if you were to strip the piece and refinish it. Applying only a clear finish you might be able to forgo the missing carvings and once the new finish is applied you'll never know that they were there.
Looks too good to paint over as others have said. One more idea -- a company called "vandykes" from Woonsocket SD carries tons of mouldings -- if they don't have the exact tthing you need I am sure they will have many to come close for your bed. They will send you free catalog.

IntercastA protocol created by Intel in 1996 for broadcasting information, such as Web pages and programs, along with television signals to a PC. With Intercast, a user can watch television on one portion of a PC monitor while receiving relevant information often about the broadcast from the Web on another. To browse the Web for information not being broadcast or not stored on the PC, however, the user must have Internet access through an Internet Service Provider ; Intercast transmits in only one direction.
For example, CNN uses Intercast to broadcast text and links to its Web pages that accompany its TV coverage. To receive Intercast, a user needs a TV tuner add-in card and Intel Intercast Viewer software.

Rajat Parr may be famous for his work as a sommelier, but cooking is his true passion. Born in Kolkata, India, he attended culinary school with intentions of being a chef. After graduating, he worked as a food runner at San Francisco's Rubicon before ascending the ladder to assistant sommelier. Now, he spends half the year on the road overseeing a portfolio of restaurants. So when he's home, he makes good use of both the farmers market and his top-of-the-line kitchen for elaborate Sunday dinner parties. Wine Spectator's Jennifer Fiedler reports.

The present invention relates generally to excavation, in particular to hydraulic excavation and more particularly to hydraulic excavation combined with suction for removing liquid and dislodged matter.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Various excavation methods and equipment have heretofore been employed. Mechanical excavation devices range from simple hand tools such as picks and shovels to sophisticated earth moving equipment for scraping, trenching, drilling and otherwise excavating in various soil conditions.
Fluids have also been employed for excavation. For example, "Air-Knife" and "Water Cannon" excavation equipment is available from Briggs Technology, Inc. of Pittsburg, Pa. Hydraulic mining, trenching, dredging and digging devices for underwater applications are shown in the Jacobson U.S. Pat. No. 2,605,090; the Norman U.S. Pat. No. 4,087,981; the Kocher U.S. Pat. No. 4,412,394; and the Berti et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,479,741. The dredging head disclosed in the Kocher '394 patent has suction capabilities so that material dislodged by its water jets can be withdrawn from the dredged area.
Large scale suction equipment is also used for removing concrete rubble dislodged by concrete water-blasters, for cleaning sewers and for other waste removal applications. Truck-mounted vacuum equipment for such applications is available from General Liquid Engineering, Inc. of Ontario, Canada.
However, the aforementioned excavation equipment and methods have disadvantages when used for certain excavation projects, such as locating buried utility cables and lines. Hand tools tend to be relatively slow and are often associated with relatively high labor costs, particularly if a relatively large volume of material must be excavated or relatively deep excavation is required. Furthermore, a hand tool may damage the utility cable or line.
Excavating with power equipment, such as backhoes and drilling machines, tends to be faster and less labor-intensive than excavating by hand, but is often attended by a greater risk of cable or line damage. Buried cables and lines are particularly susceptible to damage by backhoe operators. For this reason, excavation with a backhoe in a utility right-of-way may be impractical unless the operator has relatively accurate information on the depth and location of the subsurface line or cable. Otherwise the operator may be completely unaware that a utility line or cable has been exposed until it is severed. Severing a pipeline filled with a flammable material such as natural gas can be quite hazardous, as is severing an electrical line. Even if no personal injury results from severing a utility line or cable, property damage repair costs will often be incurred. Such repair costs may intitially be incurred by either the utility or the excavator, but either way they may be passed on to the consuming public in the form of higher utility, excavation or insurance costs.
Fiber optics telecommunications cables in particular are associated with heavy financial losses in the event they are severed. The revenue loss to a telecommunications company while its fiber optics cable is being repaired, and the cost of the repair itself, combine to impose an enormous liability on any party responsible for severing or otherwise damaging such a cable.
Fiber optics cables are normally buried in trenches along rights-of-way at depths sufficient to minimize the risk of accidental damage. However, fiber optics cables may share rights-of-way with other utility cables and lines. Servicing these utilities and lines often involve excavation in proximity to the buried fiber optic cables. The trenches may be formed with conventional trenching equipment and may be approximately three feet wide. Cable depths of approximately four to five feet are often specified, but the actual depths of the buried cables vary widely. Manholes are typically provided along the cable routes, and may occur at intervals of approximately four miles each.
When excavation work must be done in a right-of-way containing a fiber optic cable, it is often desirable to accurately determine the location of the fiber optic cable so that the excavator can avoid damaging it. However, the exact location of a cable buried between the manholes can be difficult to determine. Earth movement and settling may have shifted the cable from its original location and render it difficult to locate. Furthermore, the absence of ferrous metals and current-carrying conductive wires from a fiber optic cable can preclude or at least minimize the suitability of magnetic and current-detecting locating devices. Thus, locating buried fiber optic cables often requires physically exposing them. In this manner their locations can be determined with relative precision. Between the manholes the cable right-of-way is typically "potholed" by excavating at predetermined intervals to expose the buried cable. If only the cable location is desired, a large opening is generally unnecessary. Potholing may be accomplished with hand tools, machines or both. However, since hand tools are relatively slow and equipment use is attended by a risk of cable damage, both methods have their drawbacks. The excavation apparatus and method of the present invention address these problems.
In the practice of the present invention a mobile excavation apparatus is provided and includes a vehicle with an engine. A liquid jet system includes a liquid pump drivingly connected to the engine. A spray wand with a nozzle is fluidically connected to the liquid pump and is adapted for dispensing a jet of liquid for dislodging material in an excavation. A suction system includes a blower driven by the engine and a suction tank pneumatically connected to the blower whereby a partial vacuum may be formed therein. A suction hose is connected to an inlet of the suction tank and may be placed in an excavation for educting fluid and dislodged material.
In the practice of the excavation method of the present invention, the suction system and the liquid jet system are operated simultaneously to dislodge material in the excavation and draw it to the suction tank. The depth of the excavation is advanced by placing progressively longer extensions on the suction hose and the spray wand.
The principal objects and advantages of the present invention include: providing a mobile excavation apparatus; providing such an apparatus with a hydraulic jet system; providing such an apparatus with a spray wand for directing the hydraulic jet; providing such an apparatus with a suction system for collecting and retaining liquid and dislodged material from an excavation; providing such an apparatus wherein the hydraulic jet and the suction systems can be operated simultaneously; providing such an apparatus with a suction tank for retaining liquid and other matter drawn from the excavation; providing such an apparatus wherein the suction tank may be tilted for dumping; providing such an apparatus which is adapted for locating subsurface objects, such as fiber optic cables, with minimum risk of damage thereto; providing such an apparatus which can be self-contained as a single mobile unit; providing such an apparatus which can be operated by one person; providing such an apparatus which can excavate relatively small diameter openings to depths of several feet; providing such an apparatus which is economical to manufacture, efficient in operation, capable of a long operating life and particularly well adapted for the proposed usage thereof; providing an excavation method; providing such an excavation method wherein excavated material is simultaneously dislodged and educted; providing such an excavation method which can be practiced by one person; providing such an excavation method which minimizes damage to subsurface objects, such as fiber optic cables; providing such an excavation method which involves forming a relatively small diameter opening to depths of several feet; and providing such an excavation method which is efficient, relatively easy to practice, and particularly well adapted for the proposed applications thereof.

Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.
Referring to the drawings in more detail, the reference numeral 20 generally designates a mobile excavation apparatus embodying the present invention. The apparatus 20 generally includes a base vehicle 21, a hydraulic jet system 22 and a suction system 23.
Without limitation on the generality of useful applications of the excavation apparatus 20, an exemplary application described herein involves excavating and locating a fiber optic cable 26 below a ground surface 27 of an earthen mass 28 comprising soil and fill material (e.g. rocks, gravel, sand, clay, etc.) such as might be encountered in a trench T for laying the buried cable 26 in. The earthen mass 28 may be disintegrated into dislodged particles 29 by hydraulic action as described below.
Without limitation on the generality of suitable installations for the excavation apparatus 20, it is shown and described installed on a base vehicle 21 comprising a truck with a chassis 31 mounting a cab 32 and a rear bed 33. The chassis 31 also mounts an internal combustion engine 34 which is adapted for driving the truck 21 through a transmission 35 with a power takeoff (PTO) 36. A variety of vehicles could be successfully employed with the excavation apparatus of the present invention. Exemplary factors to be taken into account when selecting an appropriate vehicle include:
(1) air resistance;
(2) rolling resistance;
(3) grade resistance;
(4) engine characteristics, including sufficient power to move the fully-loaded unit at a desired road speed at a cruising speed for the engine (generally about ninety-percent of maximum engine speed). The engine must also develop sufficient power for the other systems, i.e. the hydraulic jet and the suction systems;
(5) transmission design including ratio steps within the engine's "power band" or operating range and suitability for off-road conditions and inclines that are likely to be encountered in service;
(6) altitude where the unit is likely to be used;
(7) ambient temperatures where the unit is likely to be used;
(8) chassis cab design;
(9) drive train efficiency;
(10) center of gravity height;
(11) road surface conditions;
(12) truck surface facilities;
(13) fuel prices; and
(14) weight distribution.
The truck 21 includes a suitable electrical system for powering certain electrical components of the excavation apparatus 20.
As an alternative to the truck 21, either or both of the hydraulic jet and suction systems 22, 23 could be mounted on a towed vehicle, such as a trailer. An appropriate tow vehicle could then be selected for the field conditions that would be encountered. For example, a full-track or half-track tow vehicle might be preferred for work in particularly muddy field conditions. Suitable vehicles with floatation tires could be utilized if necessary.
The hydraulic jet system 22 includes a liquid reservoir 40 transversely mounted on the vehicle chassis 31 behind the cab 32. The reservoir 40 is generally rectangular with a front 41, a back 42, a top 43, a bottom 44 and opposite sides 45. A reservoir interior 48 is accessible through a reservoir hatch 49. The reservoir interior 48 is adapted to receive and retain a liquid L, which may comprise water. The liquid L could also comprise bentonite, which has barrier-forming properties and is often used as a pond sealer and as a drilling fluid for well drilling. Furthermore, the liquid L could include or comprise various other substances for expediting the excavation process.
Heater means 51 may be provided in the reservoir 40 and may comprise, for example, a section of exhaust pipe 52 communicating heated exhaust gasses from the engine 34 with the liquid L. Exhaust pipe section 52 enters the reservoir 40 through its bottom 44 and exits through its top 43. The exhaust pipe section 52 may have a serpentine configuration as shown for providing an effective heat exchange with the liquid L.
A liquid pump 55 is drivingly connected to the power takeoff 36 of the transmission 35 and communicates fluidically with the liquid reservoir 40. A pump discharge conduit 57 extends from a discharge side of the pump 55 to a coupling 59 which may be mounted on a panel 60 at a back of the vehicle 21 or at any other suitable location.
A spray wand hose 61 may be releaseably connected to the discharge conduit 57 by means of the coupling 59. A suitable spray wand 62 is fluidically coupled to the spray wand hose 61. Several spray wands 62 are preferably provided for forming excavations of various depths. Without limitation on the generality of useful spray and discharge devices, the spray wand 62 may include a pistol grip 63, a manually-operated valve trigger 64, a barrel 65 and a discharge nozzle 66. The barrel 65 may comprise several interconnectable and interchangeable sections 65a, b, c of relatively rigid steel pipe with an inside diameter (I. D.) of approximately one quarter inch. The nozzle 66 can be selected for desired excavating and soil cutting characteristics.
The suction system 23 includes a pneumatic blower 70, e.g. a double-lobe type blower. A hydraulic blower drive subsystem 71 includes a hydraulic pump 72 drivingly connected to the engine 34, a reservoir 73, a hydraulic motor 74 and a hydraulic radiator 75.
A blower outlet duct 78 extends from a discharge side of the blower 70 to a suction system discharge 79. A filter housing 80 is provided on one side of the vehicle 21 and communicates with the blower 70 by means of a blower inlet duct 81. The filter housing 80 encloses a pair of bag filter subassemblies 84 and mounts a separator subassembly 85. The separator subassembly 85 (FIGS. 10, 12 and 13) includes a cylindrical body 86 with upper and lower ends 87, 88 which are selectively closed by hatches 89. An internal separator tube 92 is coaxially positioned within the interior of the separator body 86 and includes upper and lower ends 93, 94 in spaced relation from the body upper and lower ends 87, 88 respectively. An annular plate 95 extends between the body 86 and the separator tube upper end 93. The plate 95 demarcates upper and lower separator chambers 96, 97. A conical filter or screen 98 is placed on the plate 95 over the separator tube upper end 93. A separator outlet 99 communicates the separator upper chamber 96 with the filter housing 80 and a separator inlet 100 communicates with the separator lower chamber 97 immediately below the plate 95.
A suction tank 105 is tiltably mounted on the chassis 31 and includes front and back ends 106, 107. The tank back end 107 is selectively closed by a hatch 108. The suction tank 105 is pivotably mounted at its back end 107 on the chassis 31. A hydraulic jack subassembly 111 interconnects the chassis 31 and the tank front end 106 and is adapted for raising and lowering the suction tank 105 between a lowered, operating and travel position (FIG. 1) and a raised, dump position (FIG. 2).
A hydraulic piston-and-cylinder unit 114 is mounted on the suction tank 105 and is connected to its hatch 108 through hinge linkage 115 whereby the hatch 108 can be hydraulically opened and closed. Large diameter and small diameter inlets 118, 119 are provided in the hatch 108 and communicate with an interior of the suction tank 105. An outlet 120 communicates the suction tank 105 with the separator inlet 100 by means of a tank-separator duct 121.
A baffle subassembly 124 is provided on the inside of the tank 105 in covering relation over the tank outlet 120. A suction hose assembly 127 includes a flexible hose section 128 with a proximate end 129 with a coupling 130 for releaseable coupling to the suction tank inlet 118 and a distal end 131 mounting a distal coupling 132. A handle subassembly 133 is clamped on the flexible hose section 128 adjacent to its distal end 131. A rigid suction hose section 136 includes a proximate end 137 attached to the flexible hose section distal end 131 by the distal coupling 132 and a distal end 138. As shown in FIG. 6, short, medium and long rigid suction hose sections 136 are provided and may be interchangeably coupled individually or in groups to the flexible hose section 128.
A boom assembly 141 includes a boom column 142 pivotably mounted on the vehicle 21 and adapted for rotation about a vertical rotational axis. A boom arm 143 includes a proximate end 144 mounted on the boom column 142 and pivotable with respect thereto about a horizontal pivotal axis whereby the boom arm 143 is adapted for raising and lowering. The boom arm 143 also includes a distal end 145 with a mounting member 146 for releaseable attachment to the suction hose flexible section 128.
A boom jack comprising a piston-and-cylinder unit 149 is connected to the column 142, the boom arm 143 and a pressurized fluid source (not shown) and is adapted for raising and lowering the boom arm 143.
Without limitation on the generality of useful applications for the excavation apparatus 20, a disclosed method involves locating a cable 26 buried within an earthen mass 28 below a ground surface 27. The cable 26 may be located in, for example, a right-of-way, the boundaries of which may be marked whereby the general location of the cable 26 can be determined. Other preliminary sources of information concerning the location of the cable 26 may include cable installation records, visual reference to the adjacent manholes and various techniques that are commonly used in the surveying.
The excavation process primarily involves hydraulically cutting an excavation opening 151 in the earthen mass 28 with the spray wand 62, and withdrawing the dislodged earthen mass particles 29 from the excavation opening 151 with the suction hose assembly 127. These steps can be undertaken simultaneously.
If desired, an open-ended, cylindrical splatter shield 154 can be placed over the location of the excavation opening 151 to control splattering caused by the hydraulic action of the spray wand 62. As the depth of the excavation opening 151 increases, there may be less need for the splatter shield 154 since the cutting area 155 would be a considerable distance below the ground surface 27 whereby the earthen mass 28 would somewhat shield the operator.
The spray wand 62 is operated by pressing the valve trigger 64 which opens a valve in the spray wand barrel 65 whereby a cutting stream 156 of water is discharged from the nozzle 66 to the cutting area 155. The hydraulic jet system pump 55 is driven by the vehicle engine 34 through its transmission 35 and the power takeoff 36, whereby the output of the hydraulic jet system 22 can be controlled with the speed of the engine 34. Other means for controlling the discharge force and rate of the hydraulic jet system 22, such as flow-restrictive valving, etc. could also be provided. As an example, the hydraulic jet system 22 may produce water pressures of approximately three thousand pounds per square inch (PSI) at a flow rate of approximately four gallons per minute, for which the power requirements are estimated at twenty to thirty horsepower.
The suction system 23 is powered by the vehicle engine 34 indirectly through the hydraulic blower drive system 71. As an example, the suction system 23 can be designed to draw approximately two thousand cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air while utilizing approximately seventy to one hundred horsepower.
The exhaust pipe section 52 which extends through the liquid reservoir 40 functions to transfer some of the engine exhaust heat energy that would otherwise be lost to the liquid L. Thus, water can be used in conditions where it might otherwise freeze and the running of the vehicle engine 34 will serve to at least partially heat it.
The suction system 23 draws dislodged particles 29 and liquid L from the excavation opening 151 through the suction hose assembly 127. When the airstream from the suction hose assembly 127 enters the suction tank 105, most of the liquids and solids will fall to a lower part of the suction tank 105. The location of the suction tank outlet 120 at an upper part of the suction tank 105 functions to restrict the amount of the liquids and solids that are drawn from the suction tank 105. The baffle subassembly 124 also functions to prevent some of the solids particles from leaving the suction tank 105 through the outlet 120.
The separator subassembly 85 further separates solids and liquids from the suction airstream which enters its inlet 100 from the tank-separator duct 121. In the separator lower chamber 97, a vortex may created around the separator tube 92 with the suction airstream moving in a generally downward direction. Much of the liquids and solids will fall from the airstream in the lower chamber 97. The airsteam enters the separator tube 92 through its open lower end 94. The suction air stream is drawn upwardly through the separator tube 92 and passes through the conical filter or screen 98 as it leaves the separator tube open upper end 93 and enters the upper chamber 96.
The separated and screened airstream leaves the separator tube upper chamber 96 through the outlet 99 for the bag filter subassemblies 84, which serve to further filter the suction airstream. From the bag filters subassemblies 84 the airstream is drawn to the blower 70 and then discharged to the atmosphere through the suction system discharge 79.
The suction tank 105 is emptied by opening the rear hatch 108 with the piston-and-cylinder unit 114 and by raising the suction tank front end 106 with the jack assembly 111. A vibrator 159 is mounted on the bottom of the suction tank for vibrating the contents thereof to facilitate maintaining the solids materials in suspension in the liquid, and also to facilitate discharging as much material as possible when the suction tank 105 is tilted in its opened configuration.
The solids and liquids collected in the separator subassembly 85 may be discharged by opening the lower hatch 89. The filter or screen 98 in the separator upper chamber 96 is accessible through the upper hatch 89 for cleaning or replacement. The bag filter subassemblies 84 may also include removable bag filter elements for cleaning or replacement. The suction system 23 could also be back flushed by reversing the operative configuration of its blower 70.
As the excavation opening 151 is extended, spray wand extension barrel sections 65a, b, c may be added to the spray wand 62 to enable an operator on the ground surface 27 to excavate at depths of, for example, ten feet or more. The suction hose sections 136a, b and c may also be used individually and in combinations to draw material and liquids from excavations of various depths.
It is to be understood that while certain forms of the present invention have been illustrated and described herein, it is not to be limited to the specific forms or arrangement of parts described and shown.

Syracuse had a strong 2 goal comeback in the Third Period to steal a point on the road, keyed by the play of Dalton Smith and Tanner Richard. Richard has 2 goals and 4 points in the last 2 games, and Smith has 4 goals over the same span to take the Syracuse team lead in goals. People forget Smith is a former 2nd round, 34th overall pick. He has always had some power forward potential and upside greater than that of just a lumberjack.

AHL Game Night: 11-7-14 Admirals at CrunchSubmitted by pete on November 7, 2014 - 23:24
Houghtaling stole my game headline...
Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed 4 goals on 33 shots for the OT loss. His save percentage has dipped just a shade below .900 at .897 as he continues to adapt to North American hockey. He'll get there, Lightning fans. Breath.
First Period
SYR Cote, (1) (Angelidis, Ikonen), 3:51

NOR Cramarossa, (2) (McIver), 6:44 (SH)
Third Period
NOR Theodore, (1) (Cramarossa), 2:01
Mike Angelidis and J.P. Cote were the game's second and third stars.
Syracuse established themselves in the game with a good First Period, but were outshot 24-14 and outscored 3-1 thereafter. Not good, with Nikita Nesterov wearing the goat horns on Norfolk's OT winner.
The two teams will matchup again tomorrow.

Makarov bests old tandem-mate.
Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed 3 goals on 25 shots, dropping the decision to Andrey Makarov, who stopped all 38 he faced at the other end.

It's rough to get shutout, but I'd say there were silver linings. They settled down after a rough First Period and outshot Rochester 25-11 the rest of the way. That's solid. They just couldn't crack Makarov, who can be impenetrable when he's on his game. Rochester is pretty loaded with high draft picks, too, so it's not like they were playing the sisters of the poor. They just really need to get some continuity and some bounces to go their way, and I think they'll be fine.

Three Ways to Change Your Child's Negative Attitude

Has your child's attitude soured recently?
According to our counselors here at Focus, a common motivation for a child's negativity is simply to get attention. If you suspect this is your child's goal, there are a few ways to teach him or her not to complain.
1. Don't reward his negative behavior: When he starts to grumble, tell him you're sorry he feels that way. Then go about your business.
2. Reinforce a positive outlook: If your child shows the slightest enthusiasm, give him a smile, praise him, and let him know how much you appreciate his upbeat attitude.
3. Dig Deeper: If attention doesn't seem to be driving your child's mood swings, you'll need to start asking questions. It could be he's experiencing the normal ups and downs of childhood. Or he may be learning his negative attitude from friends or an older sibling.
There could also be a significant life change influencing him, such as stress in the family or trouble at school. If none of these issues seems relevant, you may need the insight of a professional to see if depression is playing a role.

Mark Craig has covered the NFL for 23 years, and the Vikings since 2003 for the Star Tribune. He is one of 44 Pro Football Hall of Fame selectors. Follow him at @markcraignfl.
Master Tesfatsion is the Star Tribune's digital Vikings writer. He is a 2013 graduate of Arizona State and worked for mlb.com before arriving in Minneapolis. Follow him at @masterstrib.
As the Vikings prepare for Thursday night's game with Tampa Bay at Mall of America Field, we asked Rick Stroud, the Buccaneers beat writer and NFL expert for the Tampa Bay Times, to give us his up-close-and-personal scouting report. Here are four things you need to know …
1) Josh Freeman has been on fire since the Bucs' Week 5 bye.
Over the past two weeks, Freeman has completed 39 of 68 passes for 768 yards and six touchdowns. He's helped Tampa Bay scored 66 points in that span and generally seems to be playing with greater swagger.
And there's a reason for that.
Early on, as Freeman adapted to the new system of offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan, he seemed to struggle with just letting loose.
Sullivan's plays required a lot of post-snap reads and route adjustments that weren't easy for Freeman to feel comfortable with.
"It was designed where Josh and the receivers have to see the coverage the same way," Stroud said. "And early on, Josh was just not trusting what he thought he saw and what the receiver was going to do. So if you throw it outside and the receiver breaks inside, it's a pick. As a result, Josh was late throwing the ball a bunch. He just wasn't relaxed. He was thinking too much and you could see the wheels spinning in his head."
But now Tampa Bay has encouraged Freeman to take more shots down the field and they've tweaked the offense to get him out of the pocket a little more.
That's suddenly enhanced the rapport Freeman has with receivers Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams, both of whom are averaging more than 19 yards per catch.
"Josh has been hot throwing the ball," Stroud said. "It's been a part of the evolution and the adaptation. And they've been flexible to understand that you want to get Josh on the move sometimes. He's comfortable running bootlegs and waggles. And you can have success with him changing his launch spot without always having him stuck in the pocket."
With the big plays adding up, defenses have been less and less tempted to bring a safety down into the box, which has subsequently opened up more running room for rookie running back Doug Martin, too.
2) Vincent Jackson is providing a wonderful return on investment.
Jackson was one of the treasures at the free agent flea market in March and Tampa Bay broke out the checkbook, delivering a five-year contract worth more than $55 million. The Bucs' hope was that the 6-foot-5, 230-pound receiver would continue to be a big-play weapon, a guy capable of getting deep and making catches while covered.
Through six games, Jackson has been stellar. He has 27 catches for 586 yards and last week he erupted against New Orleans with seven grabs and 216 yards. That included a 95-yard catch that Jackson took to the Saints' 1 yard line.
"He just makes everything work," Stroud said. "This franchise has never had a receiver like him. Ever. They've had some good receivers. But not a guy who can get vertical like this. And he not only stretches the field, but he can also go up with his size and just snatch balls in coverage."
With Jackson attracting so much defensive attention, Mike Williams has seen a lot more single coverage and has become effective making a flurry of back-shoulder grabs.
3) Tampa Bay's defense is still reshuffling its pieces.
In Week 3, right defensive end Adrian Clayborn suffered a season-ending knee injury, a blow that really impacted the strength of the line with left end Michael Bennett now seeing more double teams and Daniel Te'o-Nesheim unable to have the same impact Clayborn had.
Then, two weeks ago, top cornerback Aqib Talib drew a four-game suspension from the NFL for illegal use of Adderall. That leaves the Bucs with a very ordinary corner duo of Eric Wright and E.J. Biggers with Brandon McDonald as the nickel back.
"In the secondary, they're just not very good," Stroud said. "Wright is a good player. But without the other corner, he's suddenly just another guy."
Oh, and did we mention that 16th-year vet Ronde Barber is trying his hand at safety this year for the first time?
Tampa's defense has been a bit schizophrenic this season. They've been superb against the run, ranking third in the league (76.0 ypg). But the pass defense ranks 31st and Saints quarterback Drew Brees lit Tampa Bay up for 377 yards and four TDs last weekend.
The Bucs haven't had a sack since September, heightening the pressure on the secondary, which has made way too many mistakes this season and remains vulnerable to the big play.
4) First-year coach Greg Schiano is getting attention for all the wrong reasons.
Schiano first drew a wave of negative publicity in Week 2 after he directed his defense to blow up the Giants' offensive line in a kneel-down situation in the final seconds. That was a move New York coach Tom Coughlin didn't much like.
Then this past weekend, Tampa Bay was hit with an odd unsportsman-like conduct penalty on a New Orleans field goal attempt when officials ruled that linebacker Mason Foster yelled in a manner that seemed intent on simulating the Saints' snap count.
Yeah, that's as ticky-tack as you'll get. And the Buccaneers insist they were simply making a line shift. But it seemed to be another example of Schiano's players venturing into a gray area to attain an advantage.
"In a way, it shows Schiano's mentality can sort of be that, 'I'm going to push it right to the edge' deal," Stroud said.
That penalty, on a 51-yard field goal attempt, gave New Orleans a first down that they eventually turned into a touchdown.
Schiano is widely thought to be a good, defensive-minded, old-school coach. He also has a hard edge to him.
"Players play really hard for him," Stroud said, "because I think to an extent, they're scared of him."
But …
"At some point you have to start winning games," Stroud said. "Right now, Schiano has to try to change the narrative a bit. But I don't know that he will. He likes being one of those tough guys, the 'We're going to do it our way' coach. And if you're not careful, that can come back and bite you. If you don't win, then all of a sudden you're just an ogre that the players don't like."

So my dunkel has been in the primary for 3 days now, and I've had constant bubbles through the airlock for 2 days now. When can I crack the lid off and stick my wine thief down there for a reading/taste?
If you are careful with your sanitizing you can take a sample at any time but I generally wait until signs of fermentation have slowed a little. if you see any krausen (foam) I would wait until that falls back in to the beer.
damn I gotta brew something
yeah i am using a bucket so its hard to tell about the krausen but the airlock is still pretty active, I guess i'll have to wait another 2 days or so without a taste :-(.
you need to wait bud. There is no reason to sample it until fermentation has ended.
What was the OG? You may need to wait 10 days (or longer) before ferementation ends. sampling any sooner won't really give you any idea of the final flavor because there will be way too much sugar left in the wort/beer.
Brewing requires equal parts of three things: knowledge, creativity, and PATIENCE. books and recipes can safeguard you on the first two, so don't screw it up by ignoring #3
At least 10 days...patience Grasshopper!!!
The OG was 1.60. I know...you guys are right, it just calls out to me to go and drink it :-)
Damn, you've been here longer than I have and only have 15 posts? You need to get crackin!
There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
Oh man, where's Revvy and his bold type?
Give it a minimum of 7 days in primary. Having said that, I take hydrometer readings for OG and one when I rack to keg (usually at least 3 weeks after brewing). It's pretty rare that I'll take one to tell me when to go to secondary. I generally just wait 10 to 14 days and I know it's done.
I would be brewing another batch right now. If you keep at it then there will be no lag time waiting for beer to ferment and condition and drinking.
You can not rush good beer!

Mulberry Update (Too Sour/Tart)
Hello everyone!
I just lost many mulberries to birds and it is my first year and I need to taste them to know what they taste like. Therefore, I covered the ones that turned pink with paper towels.... hehehehe. Well I saw this then:
So I picked it:
It tastes bland, Not sweet... maybe has some sweetness that I can't feel.
It is juicy yes, but I could not taste much sweetness if any at all! So I asked someone about it and he told me that this is happening because I covered them with paper towels and I need to do it with a net so sunlight could develop sweetness in the fruit. Is this true? I mean can this be the problem?
I am trying it now:
I have noticed that fruits hit by the sun mature faster than those in the shades.
Can you guys help me with some information? I thought leaves develop sugars???
This post was edited by MohammadLawati on Tue, Apr 8, 14 at 7:13
I know there are many varieties of mulberries but I'm no expert. I also planted a Pakistan Mulberry last year and have about 50 fruit on it already. They are very sweet. They are longer but slimmer than the ones in your pics. I had never tasted them before the ones on my tree and have been pleasantly surprised by the taste. Here are a few I picked today.
I tested the Brix on one of the berries tonight and it read 32 on my refractometer. It tops out at 35 so I guess that is pretty sweet.
They are definitely sweet like cane sugar but they have a taste that is hard to describe. It is a pure sweetness but not as fulfilling as a pear or an apricot. Maybe that is why we never see them available here.
home_grower, those are beautiful berries! This is a good time for fresh fruit as the choices are limited. We don't see many mulberries at the market because they don't ship very well. It was never a matter of quality. 'Black Beauty' was on my short list because it stays smaller than most mulberry trees.
Mohammad: that's too bad the taste is no good... you might leave them to ripen more, even until they fall to make sure though.
I've never heard of a Morus nigra tasting bland, but I agree with Drew that they can vary from tree to tree. I also think that overwatering can make the fruit bland, just like with everything else.
Whether it is in light or not is unlikely to make a difference in sweetness. If they do not eventually sweeten up--and they now look ripe--and they do this next year as well, I would follow Drew's recommendation and find mulberry trees whose fruit you do like and graft onto your present tree.
It is possible that the tree will sweeten up over 4 years in the ground or so, but it is more likely a bum tree.
