Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
W: M. Fiers (4-4)
L: R. Detwiler (5-4)
MILWAUKEE -- Now that the Milwaukee Brewers have traded ace Zack Greinke, they'll be looking for other pitchers to emerge in his place.
Mike Fiers has been doing his part.Corey Hart and Aramis Ramirez homered to back another fine pitching performance by Fiers as Milwaukee snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 6-0 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.Hours after sending Greinke to the Los Angeles Angels for rookie shortstop Jean Segura and two minor league pitchers, the Brewers ended Washington's six-game winning streak.Fiers said he doesn't feel any extra pressure to perform with Greinke gone."My job is the same and that is to go out and put up zeros and keep my team in the game," Fiers said. "I'm feeling great out there right now."Called up May 29 from Triple-A Nashville, Fiers (4-4) has been one of Milwaukee's most consistent pitchers in recent weeks. He did not give up a hit until the fourth inning and retired 14 of his first 17 batters."I think with the deception and the way he can change speeds, I think this is a guy that is going to be able to pitch in the major leagues for a while," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "At the beginning, I wasn't sure. But he keeps going. And it's not just one team, it's every team he pitches against."Fiers allowed only four hits while striking out nine in 6 1/3 innings. Over his last seven starts, he has permitted four earned runs in 47 innings for a 0.77 ERA. It was his eighth consecutive start of at least six innings."Right now, everything is going well for me," Fiers said. "I think all my pitches were working well for me tonight."His biggest test Friday came in the sixth. With one out, Steve Lombardozzi singled and Bryce Harper walked. But Fiers struck out Ryan Zimmerman and got Adam LaRoche, who had homered in each of his last three games, to fly out."He's very sneaky with his pitches," Milwaukee catcher Jonathan Lucroy said. "He's a lot of fun to catch."Lucroy said the Brewers weren't surprised that Greinke was traded, but it's time to move on and try to win as many games as possible. The players were told of the trade by Roenicke before the game."That is the business side of baseball," Lucroy said. "We knew it was going to happen and we got three good players in return."Fiers was replaced in the seventh and Michael Morse on first. Livan Hernandez gave the struggling Brewers bullpen a boost, getting Sandy Leon to hit into a double play.Nationals manager Davey Johnson was impressed with Fiers."He comes right over the top and we don't make contact with it," Johnson said. "We could tell by the way we were hitting, if he kept throwing it over, we were going to have a hard time scoring."Ross Detwiler (5-4) lasted 4 2/3 innings for the Nationals, giving up four runs and seven hits.The Brewers grabbed a 2-0 lead in the fourth. With two outs, Ramirez doubled as Harper tried to make a diving catch in right field. Hart followed with his 18th home run.Carlos Gomez's RBI single in the fifth chased Detwiler. Gomez stole second, advanced to third on a throwing error by Leon and scored on Ryan Braun's single off Craig Stammen. Ramirez then cracked his 12th home run to make it 6-0.Game notes
The Brewers also got back Double-A pitchers John Hellweg and Ariel Pena for Greinke. ... The Nationals released OF Rick Ankiel, who hit .228 with five homers and 15 RBIs in 68 games. Washington designated him for assignment on July 19. ... Brewers RHP Shaun Marcum, on the disabled list since June 15 with right elbow tightness, had a setback in a bullpen session. Roenicke said there is no timetable yet for Marcum's return. ... Milwaukee announced that RHP Mark Rogers will be recalled from Nashville on Saturday to take Greinke's roster spot.

The Classicist: VO Guns Debuts the Falcon, World's Most Expensive Rifle, for $820,000 [EXCLUSIVE]
Swedish gun and rifle maker VO Vapen, founded in 1977 by master gunsmith Viggo Olsson, fashions the world's most exclusive handmade hunting rifles. Their newest creation, the VO Falcon Edition (above), is the world's most expensive priced at about $820,000. The VO Falcon Edition is a tribute to the deep rooted traditions of falconry in the Arabian world, covered by beautiful engravings of Peregrine and Saker falcons among other luxurious finishes.
The production of VO rifles is limited to a very small number of examples each year. The company holds a royal appointment to H.M. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, and has found great success with ultra-exclusive rifles made for the Middle Eastern market. H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi's Royal Family is another VO enthusiast.
The octagon barrels of the VO Falcon Edition are made of legendary Damascus steel. The beautiful and unique steel is strongly connected with the Arabian world and complements the full stock made of the world's finest walnut root. Only five VO Falcon Edition modes will be made, each individually marked with unique embellishments forming a truly ultra-exclusive collection. The first example is now complete; the next four will be built to order.
"When we came to The Gulf Region for the first time in 2005, we were overwhelmed with the warm reception and hospitality from the leaders and from the people," says Olsson. "We understood that this is a region where people appreciate traditions and true craftsmanship. It took us more than a year to develop and build the barrels. As far as we know, it is the one and only rifle in the world with barrels made of Damascus steel."
The name stems from the steel swords made in the vicinity of Damascus, Syria that first gained its mythical reputation during the medieval Crusades. The blade of a Damascus steel sword was said to be able to cut a piece of silk in half as it fell to the ground and was strong enough to cut through a rock without losing its sharpness.
All VO rifles are based on the firm's patented takedown system, allowing the owner to use several different calibers on the same rifle. The Falcon is the first VO takedown rifle to be built with a full stock. Of course the company also specializes in totally unique bespoke creations, entirely customized to the owner's wishes with pretty much any sort of precious ornamentation you could desire.

Let's Talk
Press or Marketing firstname.lastname@example.com

Christmas came a little early – in the form of $100 bills - for some who lost everything in Hurricane Sandy.
An anonymous man calling himself "Secret Santa" is donating holiday cash to unsuspecting strangers across the Northeast.
"The money is not the point at all," he told the Huffington Post. "I'm just setting an example, and if 10 percent of the people who see me emulate what I'm doing, anybody can be a Secret Santa."
The covert Kris Kringle's holiday cheer targets random strangers at food pantries, social service centers, and Salvation Army stores. One recipient was a 72-year-old retiree living in a damaged home. One woman had lost all her belongings in the storm. Another is struggling to finance her granddaughter's surgery.
Thanks to this no-name Noel, they have a little something to celebrate just in time for the holiday season. And his bucks don't stop there: the man says he plans to give $100,000 total to cities across the country. In other words, Secret Santa is coming to town.

Your spriting work is GREAT!
Can't wait to see more!
Hi guys, I had this idea to make MOTU micro heroes, I made some using the normal micro heroes templates, but I've decided to start over and make new templates myself based on the figures, thanks to some help from my good friend Innershade, I've made the templates to make almost every char from MOTU, Fuerza T and fanmade characters.
Here are He-man and Skeletor for now!
There will be more chars, you can count with that.

Abraham Lincoln is the most beloved of all U.S. presidents. He freed the slaves, gave the world some of its most beautiful phrases, and redefined the meaning of America. He did all of this with wisdom, compassion, and wit.
Yet, throughout his life, Lincoln fought with God. In his early years in Illinois, he rejected even the existence of God and became the village atheist. In time, this changed but still he wrestled with the truth of the Bible, preachers, doctrines, the will of God, the providence of God, and then, finally, God's purposes in the Civil War. Still, on the day he was shot, Lincoln said he longed to go to Jerusalem to walk in the Savior's steps.
What had happened? What was the journey that took Abraham Lincoln from outspoken atheist to a man who yearned to walk in the footsteps of Christ?
In this thrilling journey through a largely unknown part of American history, New York Times best-selling author Stephen Mansfield tells the richly textured story of Abraham Lincoln's spiritual life and draws from it a meaning sure to inspire Americans today.

Mozilla Thunderbird and Time Machine
Hi everyone,
I would like to migrate from Outlook 2011 to Mozilla Thunderbird, but know that in the past Thunderbird used to store all emails in one large database. This obviously is not a good situation for Time Machine, because a single email will result in the entire database being backed up every hour. Since I currently have over 57000 emails that must be preserved the database file will be huge. Long ago I read that the developers of Thunderbird was planning on creating a "one file per email" kind of storage system that will allow Time Machine to incrementally backup the latest email messages and not the entire database every single time. I cannot find any info on whether this was implemented or not, so my question is: Can a Thunderbird user please check how emails are stored and let me know if it's a single database or multiple files? |

There's a trick I learned ages ago for dealing with this: If you symlink a large file from a sparsebundle disk image, then only 8MB of the file will change at a time. It sorta fakes block-based backups. Not every app can cope with a symlink though, but most of them can. I can help you set it up if you want to try it.

Thanks for the reply. I would really like to know how your trick works, because it will be useful for VMware Fusion images as well.

hdiutil create -size 20G -fs JHFS+ -volname "My Volume Name" ~/SparseData.sparsebundle Code:
ln -s "/Volumes/My Volume Name/MovedFile.dat" "/path/to/original/location/MovedFile.dat" Of course, for things like a VMWare image, you can just specify that you want the image stored on the sparse bundle during creation. Much simpler that way. Last edited by ConCat; Jan 30, 2013 at 05:44 AM. |

"OPEN WIDE" I took this photograph of this lilac breasted roller while heading back for breakfast on the morning game drive. He was so nicely positioned and the lighting was so good I just could not resist! He then opened he bill so wide you could have almost seen what he fed on last... however this image clearly shows how large a gape they have and this enables them to pursue insects in flight and successfully hunt them on the wing. Furthermore, the re-curved upper mandible is employed for dismembering large prey to more manageable bites sizes. I photographed this bird with my Canon 100-400mm f/5.6 IS USM and 50D camera body. ISO 200 was used, aperture f/5.6
This little bird is called a Red-Backed Shrike and its one of our visitors which spends time here in South Africa during our summer. This little shrike will cover more than 6000 miles across Africa into Europe and western Asia to breed and after the summer in the Northern hemisphere, covers the 6000 miles to our winter in the Southern hemisphere - a rather remarkable feat! I sat with this bird for about 20mins before I managed to capture this image of him stretching using a canon 300mm f/2.8 IS USM lens coupled with a 2X converter giving me a 600mm f/5.6 lens which allowed me to achieve a tighter image.
This is a Tawny Eagle. Instead of this specimen living up to its name, it is rather pale. This is due the not so common plumage pale morph that we see from time to time. This pale morph is due to less than normal melanin within its genes and is a recessive gene. If it were far more successful, it would be as common as or more prolific than the tawny gene which is so much more prevalent. I used a canon 100- 400mm IS USM f/5.6 with a 50D body. I pushed the ISO to 400 and took a precise metering on the bird so that it would not under expose with the bright cloudy sky.

Please. The author DOES realize LA has had voter ID since 1998? Click Here if you Like this Comment
#1, your point is beside the point. The dems are going to spend big money(our tax money) to register illegals to vote in La, Tx and other solid red states in the South. They seek to pervert the voter ID system to their advantage. That is what we must be on guard against. Click Here if you Like this Comment

I´m in panic mode over how radically left this county could turn if obama slams amnesty down our throats. With millions of new legalized voters the GOP would be marginalized with no hope of ever winning another national election. If this happens the USA goes down like a rock. democrats with unrestrained power carry out their totalitarian wish list. Grab a tight rein. I thought I would not live to see the downfall of USA, but at age 59, I´m not so sure. Unless, of course, a death panel gets me before the surrender flag is raised.

The key to winning the elections is in having the data to analyze, with limited effort and cost to them. They will combine this with demographic data from other sources and can basically build a profile of a person, town, city and county. It is the same techniques used in psychological ops and it works. Read: http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/509026/how-obamas-team-used-big-data-to-rally-voters/Most people do not have a strong core belief and can easily be manipulated through emotions---envy, greed, guilt, etc to either take no action or take a desired action. This is how they won. Manipulation and fraud coupled with a populace well trained in rationalizing everything to meet their current personal wants and needs.They were able to target the message and outreach efforts in the most effective way, for a given group. They built models of the population and ran them on computers, 50,000+ times a night, adjusting their ground game constantly, based on the results. They effectively became whatever folks wanted them to be the most, at any given moment.With little to ground most people it was easy to manipulate them. Liberty as a concept and a reality is difficult to grasp with out strong morality and costly in effort, time, attention and money to maintain. Much easier to live in the moment and let someone else fight. Click Here if you Like this Comment
This is a very alarming article and should be a "must read."What possible reason can DOJ bring for getting hold of your social security number, date of birth, driver´s license number and mother´s maiden name? Like the compromise of medical records under Obamacare, this is a gross invasion of privacy and an invitation to massive fraud. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Just a few years ago people were put in jail for doing what our rulers, elected and non-elected, do every day now. This give away of our personal and supposedly private info. is beyond outrageous, it´s illegal - except when the Government or one of their minions does it. In reality, it´s still illegal when they do it - but who is going to prosecute? Click Here if you Like this Comment

DOJ hands miscreant re-election team SS data on voters. Machines, being managed by a Soro´s owned company, pre-programs votes needed by county & district.Unfortunately, when using SS data, you are also placing illegal votes for unregistered voters... resulting in 150% voter turnout.Holder plans on fixing this before 2016.

Scoop: Romance For NCIS: LA's Geek Squad?
When NCIS: L.A.'s nerdy superstars, Barrett Foa and Renee Felice Smith, took the hot seat — that is, the TVLine sofa at Comic-Con — they teased with talk of an Eric/Nell hook-up. They tantalized with hints about new back-story chapters. And finally, they dropped a bombshell, revealing the "big no-no" that we can look forward to this fall. READ MORE & WATCH VIDEO

Soaking up the Sun-flowers
My husband is one of the millions of people in the United States affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder also known as the winter doldrums. His doctor prescribed him this special light that mimics the light we usually have during the summer months. We call it the happy light and it actually helps him not be so depressed and grumpy in the winter. The past few winters I've endured a little of the happy light therapy myself, but I don't know if I can endure another winter of it!
One dark and dreary December morning last year I was in my bathrobe and slippers with my bowl of oatmeal trying to catch the morning news, and I suddenly realize that I've gotten used to wearing my sunglasses at 5:00 in the morning just so I don't fry a cornea before I leave for work. Next to the TV (and almost directly in front of me) is the happy light in all its brilliant mega-trillion watt glory. My husband tells me it has to be positioned right in this exact spot for maximum effectiveness and blah, blah something about a solar flare or an eclipse, I don't know. All I know is I have to put my arm up over my head to block the white hot glare of the light AND eat oatmeal at the same time all the while getting more and more depressed because the light illuminates every speck of dust within a 50 mile radius. Turns out the happy light makes me pretty unhappy!
Maybe this year I'll try the Sunflower Spa Kit from our spa gift baskets section. The scent reminds me of summer which is what I dream of in the winter as I soak my winter doldrums away. It's the perfect little gift for those dreary days when a little pampering is just what the doctor ordered. And just in case the doctor orders you a happy light? Fill the bathtub turn on the light and soak up the sun and sunflowers. Oh, and don't forget your sunglasses.

Definition of polar body in English:
polar body
Syllabification: po·lar bod·ynoun
Biology- Each of the small cells that bud off from an oocyte at the two meiotic divisions and do not develop into ova.More example sentences
- In most multicellular organisms, each of the two meiotic divisions in females results in an oocyte and a polar body, each of which has a distinct morphology and developmental fate.
- At this time, the primary oocyte's first meiotic division occurs, resulting in the formation of the first polar body and the secondary oocyte.
- The implication of this suggestion is a chromosome segregation effect in which meiotic nondisjunction would more likely result in the retention of an additional chromosome in the oocyte than in the polar body.

(Russian: Владимир Ильич Ульянов)
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924), was a Russian revolutionary, author, lawyer, economic theorist, political philosopher, creator of the Soviet Communist Party, leader of the 1917 October Revolution, and founder of the USSR. As head of the Bolsheviks (1917–1924) he led the Red Army to victory in the Russian Civil War, before establishing the world's first officially socialist state. As a theorist, his extensive theoretical and philosophical contributions to Marxism produced Leninism.
Lenin was born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Russian: Владимир Ильич Ульянов; German: Wladimir Iljitsch Uljanow) on 22 April 1870 in the town of Simbirsk in the Russian Empire. Simbirsk, a rural town on the River Volga nearly 1,500 miles from the capital Saint Petersburg, would be renamed upon Ulyanov's death fifty-four years later as "Ulyanovsk" in his honour. That same year, Saint Petersburg itself would be renamed Leningrad after Ulyanov's better-known cadre name.

hand stamp motor numbers
diverscot Posts: 3I have 74 fj40 gas and here in Costa Rica we have ones a year a inspection for safety and when I went they said that my motor number was tampered with I also have a 72 and 79 fj40. I need some kind of info on how the motors were stamped so I can show then why all of the letters and numbers are a little different on the motor.
tidester Posts: 10,112The vehicle identification number (VIN) should be stamped on the engine block but also on a small metal tag on your dashboard visible through the windshield and on your trasmission as well. Have all of those identifieers been tampered with? How did the vehicle pass previous inspections?
If all of those numbers have been mutilated or restamped then it will be very difficult to determine the proper identification of the vehicle. You'll have to find an expert who may be able to "lift" the numbers by a complicated technical procedure involving etching and microscopy. Good luck!

Kevin Kisner wins Chile Classic
Sunday - 3/10/2013, 8:50pm  ET
SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) -- Kevin Kisner closed with a 4-under 68 Sunday to win the Chile Classic and earn his second career title on the Web.com Tour.
Kisner, one of three 54-hole co-leaders, played the final five holes at the Prince of Wales Country Club 1-over par, but his 21-under 267 was enough to edge Brice Garnett (68) and Edward Loar (69) by one for the victory.
Guy Boros (65) and hometown favorite Benjamin Alvarado (71) tied for fourth at 18 under.
Five others were at 17 under.
Kisner figured he might be in the mix despite playing poorly in Panama and Colombia.
"I don't know why I won because I played so bad the last two weeks and missed the cut," he said. "It wasn't terrible, but my game wasn't there and I wasn't confident.
"This course just fit my eye really well. I knew when I played my first nine holes in the practice round that I'd have a chance here."

i got to start workin on mine, just bougt a 2000 mxz 800 and a 2001 mxz 600 for the gf and a 2 place trailer for 1500 bucks. Steering on both is a tad sloppy like they all get after years of use so im gunna go though them and freshen them up. Its way better than buying a 10 thousand dollar sled, making payments all year, insurance and tags and then hoping it snows and stays for longer then a few weeks.

welfare wheeler
just ordered plastic skis, carbides, and hyfax for my xlt.
was gonna trade it in, on a faster used sled, but i got a winter resort campsite in gaylord instead. gonna ride my junk another year. hopefully ride a bit more with my own camp site in the snow belt. no hotels to pay for. my old indy trail wont die, but needs tie rods and carbides. probably get those at the snow show. would not mind finding a cheap used indy wedge hood, mine has a few cracks in it. |

Seems like guitar manufacturers have given up on the concept of fret dressing. This file makes the process of cleaning up the rough fret ends on a new guitar much easier.
I really like this file because of the rounded side so it doesn't cut in to the fretboard.
Received it quickly and it was exactly as described. My 2nd-hand guitar, that I recently acquired, was NOS but the fret ends were just angle sanded and not finished. The fret ends were quite sharp. The fret dresser solved that in 1/2 hr. Thanks StewMac
Bought and inexpensive guitar and had some problems with the fret bars extending too far. Using this tool made it easy to clean up the sharp edges and with the smooth edge on the neck there are no scratch marks on the wood. Now this less than $100 guitar plays and feels better than my $500 guitar. Wonderful tool.
I have to say this fret end dressing file really saved my fingers from nicks and cuts from the sharp corners of the frets. It actually nips off the sharp burrs as well !!! I was truly amazed of how quickly the job was done. I highly recommend this to all bassists and guitarists.
I had bought a Used Parker P-44... It was an NOS 2005. So it was seven years-old and the fret ends were hanging out of the fingerboard. This would have been an expensive repair at a Shop. But I did this myself in a half-hour. All 22 Frets! I am so happy with the results. So with a little patience you can get rid of those little razors that stick into your fretting fingers.
Use with care, & u can dress those rough fret ends for a neck that feels like a $5k boutique or custom shop guitar. Put some frog tape or good quality masking tape on each side of the fret before filing, so you don't ding the wood.
Another specialty tool, and StewMac comes to the rescue with this nice cheap solution. Good for the final touches on a fret dress.
this is the best fret dressing file i have ever used to date. get's the job done in no time with great results, & very inexpensive to boot
Usefull tool. Once you used to it it's hard to put away.

Halo Headlines: The Weaver-Guillen Debate Rages On, Trout Returns to the Minors, Santana Named Player of the Week
The August 2nd, 2011 edition of daily news for the LA Angels including Posnanski settles the Weaver-Guillen "unwritten rules" debate, Trout sent back to Double-A, Santana named AL Co-Player of the Week and much more...
The Story: Joe Posnanski declares Carlos Guillen the biggest offender in the Angels-Tigers dust up from Sunday.
The Monkey Says: If Poz deems it so, then so it shall be written. I had assumed my team allegiances had clouded my judgment, but Posnanski is totally impartial and even he can't understand how anyone could justify Carlos Guillen's actions.
The Story: The Angels sent Mike Trout back to Double-A Arkansas and called up Andrew Romine to take his place.
The Monkey Says: Trout going to Double-A instead of Triple-A is a bit of a surprise, but I understand the logic, which I will delve into alter today now that the Trout Tracker will be returning later today.

Basics of thermowell design and selection
Do not underestimate the importance of thermowells in temperature measurements
Fast Forward
By Ehren Kiker
When planning for a temperature measurement application, a fair amount of consideration is typically given to sensor selection (e.g., thermocouple vs. RTD) and wiring of the output (e.g., transmitter vs. direct wiring), and how these factors will affect the measurement. Often, by comparison, relatively little consideration is given to the mechanical components of the sensor assembly, particularly the thermowell.
Of all the components in a typical temperature assembly, a thermowell would seem to be the simplest and least critical. In reality, the thermowell is fundamentally important because it directly and significantly affects the life span of the sensor and accuracy of the measurement. It also protects the closed process, providing plant and personnel safety.
An understanding of process conditions that affect thermowell performance, basic design, and installation criteria is essential to selecting the best thermowell for the particular application. Industry standards for thermowell design provide simple calculations that can be performed to ensure performance and reliability. Understanding conditions and performing relevant calculations can mean the difference between temperature measurements that perform as expected and measurements that are unreliable, unsafe, and costly.
Temperature measurement is often an invasive procedure because a sensor protected by a thermowell is inserted into a process pipe, tube, or vessel. While the sensor makes the actual temperature measurement, the thermowell does the heavy lifting of taking whatever the process throws at it, while allowing proper operation of the sensor. A properly designed thermowell must be able to withstand all process conditions and phenomena with minimal effect on temperature measurement responsiveness and accuracy.
Many application conditions must be considered when making design decisions for the thermowell. These conditions can be broadly categorized as static loads, fluid dynamic loads, thermal loads imposed by the process, and the corrosion rate – all influenced by the chemical and physical conditions of the process media.
Designing the thermowell for optimal performance begins with defining all the conditions, which may cause thermowell degradation, damage, or failure. Next, determine which features are needed to allow the thermowell to withstand worst-case application conditions.
Figure 1: The basic elements of a thermowell include the tubular housing, which is machined from bar stock and welded to a pipe or vessel at the process connection, and the temperature sensor probe, which is threaded into the stem to reach deep into the process. |
Thermowell design considerations
Once the application conditions are defined, the next step is to delineate the basic design of the thermowell. While thermowell design can take many variations, the basic design criteria are the definition of the raw material, the process connection, and the geometry/shape (Figure 1).
One of the most important factors in raw material selection centers on material compatibility with the process media. Also important is the mechanical strength of material when installed in the process. Consider not only to selecting a material that is compatible with the corrosion properties of the specific process fluid, but also the cost of different materials or coatings. Selecting an exotic metal, such as Monel, may provide greater corrosion resistance compared to stainless steel, but may be prohibitively expensive, prompting the use of a coating.
The process connection (i.e., where the thermowell is inserted into the pipe or vessel) is an important variable that defines the physical configuration of the installation. The process connection also affects the thermowell's performance.
Selection of the process connection depends on process conditions, such as pressure, temperature, fluid speed/flow rate, and fluid type. Typical process connections for industrial applications are socket weld-in, threaded, and flanged. Other process connections are available for hygienic industries (e.g., Tri-Clamp).
When selecting a flanged process connection, consider the welding procedure used to mate the thermowell to the process connection. The welding procedure must be adapted to the existing or estimated load conditions; it falls into two categories: standard welding and full penetration welding. Standard welding is mainly suitable for "light-middle" applications (temperature less than 600 °F and pressure up to 1500 psi), while full penetration welding is designed for "heavy" applications.
"Heavy" applications are those where it is necessary to foresee and accommodate thermal and fluid dynamic phenomena combined with the interaction between solid bodies and high-speed fluids.
The thickness, material type, and shape of the thermowell can have significant impact on the responsiveness of the sensor to a change in process temperature. The greater the wall thickness of the thermowell, the slower the response time, as the heat from the process fluid must be conducted through the thermowell to the measuring tip of the sensor. A thinner wall thickness provides quicker response times for temperature measurement, but it also lowers the mechanical strength of the thermowell. The specific thermowell material can also affect responsiveness, and, therefore, must be considered as an important design element.
Thermowell geometry can have a profound effect on the mechanical integrity of the thermowell, as it affects the vibration effects induced by the flow of process fluid past the thermowell. These effects can be quantified and evaluated using industry-standard calculations, such as those found in the ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2010 standard. Typical thermowell geometries are tapered, stepped, or straight.
The thermowell immersion depth (U-length) should be sufficient to eliminate any conduction error from the atmosphere or another process temperature. A general rule is to use an insertion length equal to a minimum of 10 times the diameter of the thermowell. In pipes with a small cross section, the sensor tip should reach – or extend slightly past – the center of the pipe.
The ideal installation for a thermowell is one that minimizes conditions that can compromise the mechanical integrity of the thermowell while making sure that the measuring tip is located in a stable, representative portion of the process temperature profile.
Performing thermowell calculations
When a thermowell is put into service, it is subjected to a variety of stresses. These stresses are typically created by the movement of the process fluid around the thermowell, which causes in-line and transverse vibrations that can induce mechanical failure of the thermowell. Such a failure may not only result in loss of measurement but can also cause significant damage to expensive equipment and create a serious safety risk to plant personnel.
These stresses are the primary cause of thermowell failure in process applications, so it is often necessary to run calculations on the thermowell design to make sure these stresses do not exceed maximum allowable limits.
A variety of methods exist for calculating the failure potential of a specific thermowell design. One of the most commonly accepted methods in the Americas is found in the ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2010 standard. PTC 19.3 looks at the specific thermowell design and considers all dimensions of a thermowell, material properties, and the geometry of the thermowell. The calculation determines many factors having to do with the process application, including the frequency ratio, dynamic and static stress limits, and the pressure limits. In addition, the standard can also be used to calculate the maximum allowable gauge pressure, as well as the maximum thermowell length.
While these calculations can be time-consuming, there is a variety of free online software, such as Endress+Hauser's Applicator software. These software programs allow an engineer to perform thermo-well calculations per ASME PTC 19.3 and check the suitability of the thermowell design with the specific process conditions (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Software for sizing, designing, and specifying a thermowell is available from several sources, including Endress+Hauser. |
Selecting thermowell options
Sometimes, according to the ASME PTC 19.3 calculations, a thermowell cannot withstand the operating conditions for which it is being designed. In these cases, it may be necessary to modify the thermowell geometry. The two most common modifications are shortening and widening. Another modification that is sometimes used is a velocity collar.
Shortening: A shorter thermowell has a higher natural frequency and a higher compression load strength, resulting in the ability to withstand greater vibration forces. The drawback of shortening is that the sensor tip will be farther from the center line of the pipe or the desired temperature region in the vessel, which could have an adverse effect on the measurement.
Widening: A thermowell with a larger diameter will have a bigger tip, resulting in a lower wake frequency, which results in a lower ratio to the natural frequency. The drawback of widening is that a thicker thermowell causes a slower response time of the measurement.
An effective temperature measurement is characterized by high accuracy, long-term stability, reproducibility, reliability, adequate response time, ease of maintenance, noise immunity, and minimal disturbance to the process temperature that is being measured.
A thermowell may seem like nothing more than a hunk of metal that exists to protect the temperature sensor from damage, but, in many ways, it is the one component in a temperature assembly that has the greatest influence on the overall efficiency of the temperature measurement. Understanding a few basic rules for good thermowell design and using industry standard calculations, such as ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2010, can result in temperature measurements that provide improved sensor performance and increased plant safety.

BROOKINGS - Francine Moudry is the project manager for Bel Brands USA, which is developing a snack cheese plant on the east side of Brookings, S.D.
Bel Brands USA is the American subsidiary of the Paris-based Fromageries Bel. Moudry came to Brookings from a Bel Brands plant in Leitchfield, Ky., where she had worked since 1994 and had been manager since 2007.
Bel Brands today has 17,000 employees worldwide and is one of the largest dairy companies in France. Its brands are Laughing Cow, a process cheese, and Mini Babybel natural snack cheeses made directly from milk. Babybels are wrapped in wax and sold in 3-quarter-ounce sizes.
Bel Brands is the third largest seller of branded cheeses in the world and the No. 1 brand of serving-size snack cheeses in the U.S.
The Brookings plant is 1,100 feet long, about 80 feet wide and will be the size of three football fields under a single roof. A $100 million-plus investment (building plus equipment), the plant is one of the largest new agricultural processing operations ventures in the Dakotas and Minnesota.
The Bel Brands plant will use 500,000 pounds of milk a day - production of about 12,000 dairy cows. That's only 3 to 5 percent of the milk supply in the region, but that low market percentage is important to Bel Brands because of reliability of supply. Some milk likely will come from Minnesota.
The company has not decided how it will procure its milk - either from cooperatives or directly with farmers. That decision will be made by the end of June 2013.
The plant is scheduled to start up in July, producing about 70,000 pounds of cheese per day with 275 workers, but ramp up to full production in September 2013. The company has not said how much cheese will be produced at full production.
South Dakota trifecta
The company searched in 17 states and had finalists in Michigan and Iowa, but settled on South Dakota. It had passed over dairy giant states like California because growing the herd there is almost impossible because of competition for land and government regulations.
Three key factors separated Brookings from the others: milk supply, the presence of South Dakota State University and its dairy science emphasis, and general economic enthusiasm and welcome.
Brookings had the potential for being "self sufficient in most of the feeding needs, having the land to continue to grow and not being completely locked in," she says.
"To be honest, there are a lot of people who want to come back to work in South Dakota," she says. But beyond location, the company wants to be a great place to work. "We want to be a place for you to grow and make your dream come to a reality."
Finally, South Dakota simply laid out the red carpet.
Bel Brands executives met with the South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard several times, discussing an entire economic effort that linked with the Brookings community nicely.
Babybel naturals
The plant will start making only the Mini Babybels, in five or six flavors.
The cheeses are priced at a premium to competitors, but sales have been strong even through the recession. Moudry acknowledges that some consumers have gone to alternatives like block cheese or less-expensive snacks. "But the core of our customers remains the same," she says.
Moudry says she enjoys Brookings. Her husband is an English instructor at SDSU.
"What I would like to continue to do in Brookings is to share my experience and my passion about what I'm doing," Moudry says. "I will continue here to make sure everything goes well, but that is really my goal: to share the passions I have and to make sure that every single person that wants to be part of an adventure can do it."

Power ... control ... regulation ... support ... insurance ... paranoia ...
Sound like a mishmash of all the best descriptors of what's missing from our ailing economy? Maybe, except for the last one. How about all the trappings of a maniacal super villain? Possibly, though I'm not sure how well those guys are insured or regulated.
More importantly, it's most of the witty verbs I could come up with to describe today's deals.
That's right, I have a pair of deals for you today, you know, to promote economic stimulus. Both come from the newly reopened CircuitCity.com, which was recently acquired by TigerDirect and now offers most of the same items, along with a few enticements all their own.
First up is the APC H10 Home Theater Power Regulator. The 10-outlet console-type surge protector and power regulator offers 10 AC outlets (2 delayer for high current), 2 Coaxial In/Outs, 1 phone in w/ 2 outs, Automatic Voltage Regulation, Isolated Noise Filter Banks, DC triggers, Wiring Fault Detection, Lightning Protection, Overload Indicator, and Status Indicator LEDs. The best part is it does it all for only $99. That's $200 less than retail, and for a brand-new unit carrying the full 5 year warranty and $500,000 in connected device coverage.
Next up is the Harmony One activity-based universal remote. If you're looking for a remote you can easily program yourself, even for a complex AV setup with scores of devices, home automation, and robots, this is one of the best. It can control up to 15 devices with the ease of activity based use.
Activity macros are automatically setup by the Logitech Harmony desktop software, and the remote keeps up with what devices are on and off at any given time. You can have the basic functions of a complex theater up and running in 30 minutes, and tweak things like IR delays, sequencing, automation, and touch-screen button lay out to your hearts content. Total control is just an activity away, and for only $149 for this factory refurbished unit (about $100 off MSRP and $50 off the lowest authorized new price I could find).
BONUS: Want to save even more? Buy both of these items, or make any purchase over $200, and you'll get $20 back instantly if you pay with PayPal.
