Hello Word People,
I can't seem to find the etymology for a certain way of using the word "except". I thought of it while working on a translation that includes a sentence something like this:
The name might not have been so fresh in his mind if it weren't that his colleague had taken the man's death particularly hard.
My editor has suggested replacing the conjunction "if it weren't that" with "except that", as in:
The name might not have been so fresh in his mind except that his colleague had taken the man's death particularly hard.
For some reason this use of "except" to mean "if it weren't that" or "if not for the fact that" sounds colloquial to my ear, like something adopted only recently and not yet accepted in formal writing. It actually sounds to me like it doesn't quite mean the same thing as "if it weren't that". It somehow seems like a non sequitur in this context, although I realize that it is sometimes used this way. Is this just my own quirk, or am I sensing something general about the usage that I can't quite put my finger on? I've looked in an online OED, but it doesn't seem to include any entry for precisely this use of the word.
Hi, lolarusa,
Merriam-Webster online shows "I would go except that it's too far" which, to my ear, is exactly the usage you are questioning. I would suggest (and this is not intended as criticism – I don't know you or your background) that it's not that this usage is colloquial, it's that except has broader uses than you give it credit for or are accustomed to. I know I've fallen into that pit with other words myself. Your editor's suggestion seems reasonable; it's a style choice.
Tromboniator is correct, I believe. I think it's just a matter of editorial style too. I write for a couple periodicals and have run into that many times. Might just be that my editors are Gen X & Y, and I'm a Boomer.
That said, there could be a difference in meaning depending on the context for that sentence. I'm unclear whether "the name" refers to "his colleague" or the "man who died." What exactly was the context, lolarusa?
IMHO, your editor's insertion of "except" in place of "if it weren't" is as ambiguous as your original. Here's the issue …
I see the possible confusion of: Why was the name was so fresh in his mind? Was the writer's empathy/memory toward "his colleague, or toward "the man who died." It's a subtle distinction, I know, but I'm sure the context would clear that up.
Iolarusa, Â you are not alone. Â 'Non sequitur' it is. Â Still, in the end people like you and me need to go with the prevailing trend.
Still, I find it interesting that many dictionaries still have not listed that usage, and at least one lists it only as  'idiom.'   Matter of fact, no matter how sure I am of the great frequency of that usage, I am hard pressed to recall any specific authoritative instances.  Maybe a great many writers out there do have the same reservation you and I have, Iolarusa.
There are ample instances of a similar usage, equivalent to 'unless,' Â that seems generally considered archaic:
Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 2 votes )
What do you get when you combine Ving Rhames, Dexter Morgan, MacGyver, Walter White, and then some? King Reign. The deadliest thing about the Toronto emcee is that he's seen enough and done enough that he can adapt with the game to earn his ends-stealth, health, and wealth. And he does his own Promo. King Reign spells it out nice and slow with familiar pop culture references over what could easily be a creatively chopped up beat from Zelda by producer Gameboy. If this is what he sounds like when he's calm and collected, I can't imagine what he's like when he's angry. There is no word on where Promo will end up so be sure to check out his last Booth feature with Killer to hear more from the determined King.

A method for separating and filtering solid particles from a hydrocarbon slurry liquid includes two or more filter sections in fluid communication with the hydrocarbon slurry. At least one filter section is comprised of one or more filter elements having a mean pore size of less than 10 microns, and at least one other section is comprised of one or more filter elements having a mean pore size of 10 microns or greater. The small pore filter (less than 10 microns) will exclude all or substantially all of the smaller catalyst fines produced by catalyst particle attrition. The liquid product removed from the small pore filters will be substantially free of particulates. The large pore filters (10 microns or greater) will exclude larger catalyst particles, but will allow the smaller fines to pass. The liquid product removed from the large pore filters will contain the fines generated from catalyst particle attrition.

This invention relates to a filter system useful for separating liquid from solid particles. More particularly, this invention comprises one or more large pore filter elements and one or more small pore filter elements. The large pore and small pore elements are manifolded into separate sections, allowing independent withdrawal of material from either section. The proposed filter system is useful for separating liquid hydrocarbon product from a Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis slurry comprising catalyst particles in a hydrocarbon liquid product.
Slurry hydrocarbon synthesis (HCS) processes are known. In a slurry HCS process a synthesis gas (syngas) containing a mixture of H2 and CO is bubbled upward through a slurry in a reactor comprised of hydrocarbon reaction products having dispersed therein a Fischer-Tropsch type hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst. Reactors that contain such a three phase slurry are sometimes referred to as �bubble columns�, as is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,348,982, which is incorporated herein by reference. Irrespective of whether the slurry reactor is operated as a dispersed or slumped bed, the mixing conditions in the slurry will typically be somewhere between the two theoretical conditions of plug flow and back mixed. The catalyst particles are typically kept dispersed and suspended in the liquid by the lifting action of the syngas bubbling up through the slurry and by hydraulic means. Slurry Fischer-Tropsch reactors produce a vapor phase and a higher molecular weight liquid product stream.
Because of the formation of liquid products (commonly called waxes in this context), it is necessary to maintain the slurry at a constant level by continuously or intermittently removing liquid products from the reactor. One problem with the removal of liquids, however, is that catalyst particles are dispersed in the liquid and must be separated from the said liquid and returned to the reactor slurry in order to maintain a constant inventory of catalyst in the reactor. Several means have been proposed for separating the catalyst from the liquid products, e.g., centrifuges, sintered metal filters, cross-flow filters, magnetic separators, gravitational settling, etc.
Filtration is one of the catalyst-liquid separation methods used with Fischer-Tropsch reactors. Filtration techniques are characterized by solid-liquid separation systems that remove liquid products from a slurry by drawing the fluid across a filter medium. The filter medium may be simply a filter substrate or may be composed of a filter cake disposed on a filter substrate, such that the filter cake forms a primary filter. A filter cake is formed as solid particles are deposited on the filter substrate creating a permeable barrier between the slurry and the substrate. The thickness and permeability of the filter cake is critical to the efficient operation of the filtration system.
In a commercial slurry bubble column reactor, the hydrodynamic conditions inside the reactor, coupled with the desired long lifetime of the catalytic material, typically results in catalyst attrition. As the catalyst breaks down over time, sub-particles of various sizes are created, including very small particles known as �fines�, some of which may even be sub-micron in size. The presence of fines in the reactor tends to greatly reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst-liquid separation system.
In a slurry reactor, the action of the gas rising through the liquid and solid phases results in agitation and movement of those phases. This agitation has a beneficial effect on the performance of filters that may be immersed in the slurry reactor. The agitation of the slurry generally significantly reduces the accumulation of solids on the surface of the filter due to the drag force of the agitated liquid on the solids at the filter surface. It is known that this drag force is a function of the particle size, with smaller particles experiencing less drag than larger particles. Hence, while it may be possible to operate a filter in a slurry bubble column with large catalyst particles for extended times, finer particles are more easily collected on the filter surface and can contribute to fouling of that filter. Thus, in a catalyst-liquid separation system utilizing filtration, cycle time between backwashing operations, as well as filter life, may be greatly reduced because the fines tend to reduce the permeability and flux of the filter system. The use of centrifuges or gravitational settlers is not practical for removing fines from the catalyst slurry because the fine particles are low in concentration relative to the catalyst. Magnetic separation is similarly impractical for removing fines from the slurry. Thus the performance of catalyst-liquid separation systems has heretofore been undesirably dependent upon the age of the catalyst. For example, when the catalyst is new the catalyst-liquid separation system operates at a very high rate, but the rate substantially decreases as the catalyst ages and attrition causes fines concentration to increase.
It is also undesirable to have particulates present in the liquid product from the HCS reactor. The products from an HCS reactor may be subject to additional processing in systems downstream of the HCS reactor that may have stringent specifications on the concentration of particulates. In addition, final products, e.g., lube oils or diesel, may also have stringent specifications on particulates content.
Thus, there remains a need in the art for methods and apparatus to maintain the effectiveness of a catalyst-liquid separation system independent of the age or degree of attrition of the catalyst. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and apparatus for removing catalyst fines from a slurry that seek to overcome the limitations of the prior art.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a slurry hydrocarbon synthesis process for forming hydrocarbons, at least a portion of which are liquid, the invention comprises:
Thus, one of the advantages of the present invention is that the liquid product removed from the reactor through the small pore filter element is substantially free of solids and fines, while the concentration of fines in the reactor is controlled using the large pore filter element.
The sole FIGURE hereof is simplified schematic of a preferred embodiment of large and small filter assemblies of the present invention immersed in the slurry liquid in a slurry reactor.
The present invention relates to a process and filter system for separating particulate solids from a liquid and is useful in a hydrocarbon synthesis (HCS) process. The action of the gas serves to mix the solids and the liquid, providing an efficient reaction system for the HCS process.
In a Fischer-Tropsch slurry HCS process, a syngas containing a mixture of H2 and CO is bubbled up into a reactive slurry in which it is catalytically converted into hydrocarbons, preferably liquid hydrocarbons. The mole ratio of hydrogen to the carbon monoxide in the feed will range from about 0.5 to 4, but will more typically range from about 0.7 to 2.75 and preferably from about 0.7 to 2.5. The stoichiometric molar consumption ratio for a Fischer-Tropsch HCS reaction is typically about 2.1, but there are various reasons for using other than a stoichiometric ratio as is well known to those skilled in the art. Thus a discussion of such is unnecessary and beyond the scope of the present invention. The slurry liquid in the reactor comprises the hydrocarbon products produced by the hydrocarbon synthesis reaction, which are liquid at reaction conditions. A long standing problem has been the separation and removal of the hydrocarbon liquid product produced in the reactor from the relatively fine catalyst particles. The elevated temperature and pressure in the reactor and the waxy nature of the hydrocarbon products make conventional particulate separation and filtration methods unsuitable for use in a slurry type hydrocarbon synthesis process.
The temperature and pressure in the slurry reactor can vary widely depending on the particular catalyst used and the products desired. Typical conditions effective for forming hydrocarbons comprising mostly C5+ paraffins, (e.g., C5 to C200), preferably C10+ paraffins employing a supported cobalt catalyst include temperatures, pressures and hourly gas space velocities in the range of from about 320-600� F., 80-600 psi and 100-40,000 V/hr/V, expressed as standard volumes of the gaseous CO and H2 mixture (0� C., 1 atm) per hour per volume of catalyst, respectively. The slurry typically contains from about 10 wt % to 70 wt % catalyst solids, more typically from about 30 wt % to about 60 wt % and in some embodiments about 40 wt % to about 55 wt % is preferred. As mentioned above, the slurry liquid comprises the hydrocarbon products that are preferably liquid at reaction conditions, along with minor amounts of other components.
While catalyst particle sizes may broadly range from as small as 1 to as large as 200 microns, typical slurry hydrocarbon synthesis catalysts will have a mean particle size of 20-100 microns. Such catalysts will also include fine particles smaller than 1 micron and the constant agitation and mixing of the catalyst particles in the slurry results catalyst attrition. The attrition process produces fines generally having a particle size less than about 10 microns. Moreover, a significant portion of the attrition products produced from normal operation of a Fischer-Tropsch slurry bubble column process will have particle sizes smaller than about 1 micron.
The filter system of the present invention comprises at least two filter sections, each comprised of a plurality of hollow filter elements disposed on a manifold connected to a filtrate conduit. At least one section is comprised of one or more filter elements having pores of less than about 10 microns, and at least one section is comprised of one or more filter elements having pores 10 microns or greater. In the process of this invention the filter system is immersed in the slurry wherein the interior of the filter elements, manifold or manifolds and conduit are all in fluid communication with each other. The filter elements are permeable to the slurry liquid, but not the particulate solids that each filter section is chosen to block. The filter system and process of the present invention are useful for separating and removing slurry hydrocarbon liquid from a three phase, Fischer-Tropsch type hydrocarbon synthesis slurry, either inside the slurry reactor or outside the reactor in a separate vessel.
In one embodiment of the present invention, each one or more sections of the filter system comprises a plurality of filter elements vertically disposed and horizontally arrayed, or arranged, across the horizontal surface of a respective manifold which is connected to a common filtrate conduit. The filter elements comprise elongated hollow tubes, or pipes, made of a liquid permeable material but impermeable to the passage of the solids for which they were designed. Such filter elements may be composed of, for example, sintered metal particles, sintered metal fibers, wound wedgewire, wire mesh, or any configuration that has narrow, uniform pore openings of the desired size. The material of construction of the filter elements may be any material of construction that is durable and that can withstand the temperatures and pressures of a Fischer-Tropsch reactor without premature failure. Preferred materials include the 300 series stainless steels. For example, it is preferred that the small pore filters composed of 316 stainless steel sintered metal particles and the large pore filters be composed of 316 stainless steel wedgewire or wire mesh materials.
In another preferred embodiment, the surface of the filter media that is exposed to the slurry environment is treated, or modified, to reduce its tendency for fouling, e.g., for fine particles to permanently stick and blind the filter surface. Non-limiting examples of such treatments include, coating with titania, zirconia, or ceramic materials; machining of the surface of the filter to reduce surface roughness; anodizing, nitriding, or other suitable chemical treatment that can have a beneficial effect on the filter surface.
In the subject invention, large pore and small pore filter sections are operated independently and serve distinct functions. The small pore filter has openings chosen to exclude all or substantially all of the particulates present in the slurry reactor, including fines produced by the attrition of the larger catalyst particles. The liquid product removed from the reactor through the small pore filters will hence be completely or substantially completely free of particulates. The large pore filter has openings chosen to exclude the larger catalyst particles but to allow the smaller catalyst fines to pass. The liquid product removed from the reactor through the large pore filters will contain the fines generated by the attrition of the catalyst. The amount of liquid withdrawn through the large pore filters will be a relatively small fraction of the total liquid withdrawn from the reactor, but sufficient in quantity to carry the fine particles. By relatively small fraction we mean between about 1 wt % to about 25 wt %, and preferably no more that about 1 wt % to about 15 wt % of the slurry will be filtered through the large pore filter elements. A most preferred range will be from about 1 wt % to about 5 wt % of hydrocarbon product passing through the large pore filter elements.
Referring now to the sole FIGURE hereof a slurry type hydrocarbon synthesis reactor 30 is shown as comprising a cylindrical steel outer shell or vessel 32, containing a three phase slurry 34 within, which comprises hydrocarbon liquid in which catalyst particles are dispersed and suspended, and which also contains gas bubbles. The gas comprises synthesis gas and gas products of the Fischer-Tropsch type hydrocarbon synthesis reactions. Synthesis feed gas is introduced into the reactor, via line 20 and is injected up into the bottom of the slurry 34, by means of a gas distributor 38. The synthesis gas flows up through the slurry 34 and is indicated by bubbles 36, of which merely a few are shown for convenience. The synthesis gas contacts the catalyst particles in the slurry and forms liquid and gas hydrocarbon products, along with significant amounts of water vapor. Two filter assemblies of the invention, 40 and 50, are shown suspended in slurry 34, each comprising one or more groupings of filter elements. Each grouping contains multiples of filter elements of which only a few are briefly illustrated for the sake of convenience. Filter assembly 40 is composed entirely of small pore filter elements while filter assembly 50 is composed entirely of large pore filter elements. The small pore filter elements will have a mean pore size less than about 10 microns, preferably less than about 5 microns, and more preferably less than about 2 microns. The mean pore size can be determined using ASTM test E 1294 or equivalent. The large pore filter elements will have a mean pore size of 10 microns or greater. Although both the large and small pore filter elements can be positioned at any location within the slurry, it is preferred that the large pore filter elements be position in the top half, more preferably in the top ⅓ of the slurry.
As the reaction proceeds, the vapor phase products and unreacted synthesis gas exit at the top of the slurry and pass overhead into a gas disengaging zone 22 from where they are removed from the reactor via line 24. At the same time, the liquid phase products pass into the interior of the small pore filter elements whose walls are porous and pervious to the flow of the slurry liquid, but which will not allow passage of the catalyst particles or catalyst fines in the slurry into the interior of the filter elements, due to the extremely small size (e.g., <2 microns) of the pores. The pore size is catalyst specific and a mean pore size of <2 microns has been found adequate for a catalyst comprising Co supported or composited with titania. The slurry liquid passes into the interior of the filter elements as a filtrate and then into the interior of the manifolds with which the filter elements are in fluid communication. The filtrate passes from the manifolds into the filtrate conduits and is removed from the reactor as indicated by arrow 42 into clean product receiver 47.
A small portion of the liquid phase product from slurry 34 is withdrawn from the reactor through large pore filter assembly 50. Withdrawal can be continuous or periodic. The slurry liquid containing fine particles passes into the interior of the filter elements as a filtrate and then into the interior of the manifolds with which the filter elements are in fluid communication. The filtrate passes from the manifolds into the filtrate conduits and is removed from the reactor as indicated by arrow 54 into dirty product receiver 56. The liquid and fines from receiver 56 may be further processed in separation device 60 producing a clean product stream 62 and a solids rich stream 61. Separation device 60 can be any suitable separation device including a filter, a hydrocyclone, a centrifuge, a gravity settler, and the like.
Periodic backwashing of the small pore filter elements in the slurry is necessary to clean the filter elements and reduce resistance to flow. The small pore filters are backwashed in the following manner. Product valve 46 is first closed, stopping the flow of liquid product through the filter. Optionally, a short period of time may be chosen where the no-flow condition is held. Next, the backwash valve 45 is opened for a period of time, allowing backwash fluid from backwash drum 44 to flow into the conduit 42 and through the filters 40 into the reactor in a direction opposite to normal flow. To accomplish this, backwash drum 44 is operated at a pressure higher than the reactor pressure. Those skilled in the art can select the amount of overpressure in the backwash drum and timing of the backwash valve opening to maximize the beneficial effects of the backwash. It is generally known that a high overpressure and a short valve opening duration, giving a sharp pressure pulse to the filter, will provide a good backwash. After the backwash, valve 45 is closed again. Optionally, a short period of time again may be chosen where the no-flow condition is held. Finally, the product valve 46 is opened and flow is re-established to the product collection drum 47.
Periodic backwashing of the large pore filter is also necessary to prevent filter cake buildup and maintain the fines removal capability of the filter. The large pore filters are backwashed in the following manner: Product valve 55 is first closed, stopping the flow of fines and liquid through the filter. Optionally, valve 55 may be left open for a short period of time after the backwash valve 52 is opened to flush any solids from the interior of the filters into the dirty product receiver. Next, the backwash valve 52 is opened for a period of time, allowing backwash fluid from backwash drum 53 to flow into the conduit 51 and through the filters 50 into the reactor in a direction opposite to normal flow. To accomplish this, backwash drum 53 is operated at a pressure higher than the reactor pressure. Those skilled in the art can select the amount of overpressure in the backwash drum and timing of the backwash valve opening to maximize the beneficial effects of the backwash. It is generally known that a high overpressure and a short valve opening duration, giving a sharp pressure pulse to the filter, will provide a good backwash. After the backwash, valve 52 is closed again. Optionally, a short period of time again may be chosen where the no-flow condition is held. Finally, the product valve 55 is opened and flow is reestablished to the dirty product collection drum 56.
It may be advantageous to connect the backwash and product collection manifolds for the large pore filter in a particular fashion, as illustrated in the FIGURE hereof. The product manifold is set at the bottom of the vertically arranged filters. Any solids will tend to settle towards the bottom manifold and can easily be removed. The backflush manifold is set into the top of the filters and clean backwash can be used to sweep any solids out of the interior of the filter into the dirty product drum prior to the actual backwash cycle. It may be necessary to install a high point vent on the upper manifold to periodically vent any buildup of vapor from the manifold.
In an HCS process, liquid and gaseous hydrocarbon products are formed by contacting a syngas containing a mixture of H2 and CO, under shifting or non-shifting conditions and preferably under non-shifting conditions in which little or no water gas shift reaction occurs, particularly when the catalytic metal comprises Co, Ru or mixture thereof. Suitable Fischer-Tropsch reaction types of catalyst comprise, for example, one or more Group VIII catalytic metals such as Fe, Ni, Co, Ru and Re. In one embodiment the catalyst comprises catalytically effective amounts of Co and one or more of Re, Ru, Fe, Ni, Th, Zr, Hf, U, Mg and La on a suitable inorganic support material, preferably one which comprises one or more refractory metal oxides. Preferred supports for Co containing catalysts comprise titania, particularly when employing a slurry HCS process in which higher molecular weight, primarily paraffinic liquid hydrocarbon products are desired. Useful catalysts and their preparation are known and illustrative, but nonlimiting examples may be found, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,568,663; 4,663,305; 4,542,122; 4,621,072 and 5,545,674.
The hydrocarbons produced by an HCS process according to the invention are typically upgraded to more valuable products, by subjecting all or a portion of the C5+ hydrocarbons to fractionation and/or conversion. By conversion is meant one or more operations in which the molecular structure of at least a portion of the hydrocarbon is changed and includes both noncatalytic processing (e.g., steam cracking), and catalytic processing (e.g., catalytic cracking) in which a fraction is contacted with a suitable catalyst. If hydrogen is present as a reactant, such process steps are typically referred to as hydroconversion and include, for example, hydroisomerization, hydrocracking, hydrodewaxing, hydrorefining and the more severe hydrorefining referred to as hydrotreating, all conducted at conditions well known in the literature for hydroconversion of hydrocarbon feeds, including hydrocarbon feeds rich in paraffins. Illustrative, but nonlimiting examples of more valuable products formed by conversion include one or more of a synthetic crude oil, liquid fuel, olefins, solvents, lubricating, industrial or medicinal oil, waxy hydrocarbons, nitrogen and oxygen containing compounds, and the like. Liquid fuel includes one or more of motor gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and kerosene, while lubricating oil includes, for example, automotive, jet, turbine and metal working oils. Industrial oil includes well drilling fluids, agricultural oils, heat transfer fluids and the like.
It is understood that various other embodiments and modifications in the practice of the invention will be apparent to, and can be readily made by, those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention described above. Accordingly, it is not intended that the scope of the claims appended hereto be limited to the exact description set forth above, but rather that the claims be construed as encompassing all of the features of patentable novelty which reside in the present invention, including all the features and embodiments which would be treated as equivalents thereof by those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains.

Throughout his career, Sting has incorporated distinct elements of jazz, reggae, classical, New Age, and worldbeat into his music. As a solo musician and member of The Police, Sting has received sixteen Grammy Awards; receiving his first Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 1981, three Brit Awards (including Best British Male in 1994), a Golden Globe, an Emmy Award, and several Oscar nominations for Best Original Song. He is a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Born Gordon Matthew Sumner, he is the eldest of four children. Sumner was raised in the Roman Catholic tradition, due to the influence of his paternal grandmother, who was from an Irish family. He attended St Cuthbert's Grammar School in Newcastle upon Tyne, and then the University of Warwick, but did not graduate. During this time, he often sneaked into nightclubs like the Club-a-Go-Go. Here he saw acts like Jack Bruce and Jimi Hendrix, who would later influence his music.

Ancient Egg-Cooking Method?
I am intrigued by this and wonder if anyone on CH has personal experience with it, maybe from family or from residence abroad. In "A Book of Middle Eastern Food" Claudia Rosen tells how to make Hamine Eggs by cooking eggs in the shell (with onion skins in the water for color) gently for 6 hours or overnight. "This lengthy cooking produces deliciously creamy eggs, the yolks very creamy, the flavor exciting and delicate, the whites colored golden by the onion skins...". She adds that the method can be modernized by cooking in a pressure cooker for 90 minutes. This seems to go against everything we believe about egg cooking---I would have thought that cooking an egg for six hours would result in a golf ball. Can anyone comment from experience?
Sorry, I know you asked for experience and I have none, but your query intrigued me. This site had an interesting quasi-scientific method on these eggs, so I share his post:
Although I have eaten eggs cooked this way many times, I have never cooked them myself.
However, you might want to try posting on the Kosher board. Due to laws forbidding cooking on the Sabbath, traditionally Jews prepare hamin (AKA cholent), a hearty stew, on Friday afternoon. It is then left to simmer overnight until lunchtime on Saturday.
Some people have the custom to put unpeeled (washed, obviously!) eggs in the hamin, so they cook overnight and absorb some of the stew's flavor.
In fact, I have a neighbor of Persian Jewish origin who does this. I can ask him for tips next time I see him.
Here is a great photo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholent
I have done this many times with great success, although never with a pressure cooker. I use lots of onion skins and some salt. A Persian friend suggested that one can add any leftover chicken parts such as skin, backs, bones for added flavor. The water has to be at a simmer. If the eggs cook too gently--as I know from experience--you don't get the desired result.
When I googled this topicI found someone making Hamine Eggs in the slow cooker (makes sense) so the method is being used in the real world.
I don't know whether this thread was lost in the shuffle or what but I for one really enjoyed it. I had never heard of this myself and I would never take the time to try it but the link to pauper chef was quite entertaining. Thanks.
yes! My dad is from iraq originally and used to do this. They are amazingly delicious and taste a bit nutty. weird that the egg white goes brown and marbley looking. He did them in a pressure cooker.
Eggs cooked overnight in the shell in the Sabbath stew acquire a very mild flavor and, as another poster says, a pale brown tinge with darker brown stippling. Observant Jews do this in order to enjoy hot eggs on the Sabbath.
This is a familiar custom among Sephardi Jews (the community of Jews who lived in Spain until expulsion in 1492 and in Mediterranean Arab countries until expulsion after 1948).
If you want to try it, look up recipes for hamim/dafina (Sabbath stew). These stews traditionally cook very slowly in a wood-fired brick or adobe bread oven where the coals have been banked for the night. It is easy to imitate the method in an electric slow-cooker. Lots of recipes, techniques, advice posted online.
I have also slow cooked eggs in onion skins (Just save the skins from onions peeled for several dishes or meals). It's totally simple. The onions acquire a mild flavor and a light tan color.
I don't find onion skin cooked eggs all that exciting in terms of flavor or texture. To me, the eggs cooked overnight in a hamim are not all that exciting either. Just a way to have hot eggs on the Sabbath.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, JUNE 18, 2008âAviom, exclusive developer of the worldâs most powerful audio transport technology, A-Net®, announces its new Sales & Technical Training Program. To kick off the initiative at this yearâs InfoComm show (InfoComm Booth C4175), Aviomâs Consultant Liaison and Training Manager Jeff Lange will lead two manufacturerâs training sessions: Audio Distribution Applications with Aviomâs Pro16® Series and Audio Networking with Aviomâs Pro64® Series. In addition, Aviom will run an Audio Distribution & Networking Solutions for Houses of Worship course each day in the Technologies for Worship Pavilion.
Aviom has identified training as a top priority in 2008. âThereâs a lot of interest in audio distribution and networking, but thereâs also a lot of uncertainty and confusion,â? says Lange. âGood, reliable information is critical to helping consultants and contractors make good design decisions. This yearâs training program marks the beginning of an ongoing effort on Aviomâs part to support its sales channels and end users.â?
Training will include both sales and technical topics and will be conducted through a variety of formats, including online webinars and formal classroom-style sessions. Formal sessions will begin this summer.
As part of the program, Aviom will be offering formalized certification at two levels. Level I Certification will focus on monitor mixing and simple digital snake applications, while Level II Certification will focus on the full range of applications, including the most sophisticated audio networks. Certified resellers will be given a priority listing on Aviomâs website, www.aviom.com.
Aviom began offering formal training last year in response to customer interest. âPeople realized thereâs a lot more they can do with Aviom and A-Net than build monitor systems, and they came to us for more formalized guidance,â? adds Lange. âAviomâs Pro64 Series offers a powerful digital audio networking solution for which the market has been waiting. Now that we have the new 6416m Mic Input Module and all the building blocks for the system, we want to show people just how simple it is to distribute high-fidelity audio without limiting system design and without jumping through a lot of hoops.â?
Aviom is the world leader and pioneer of personal monitor mixing technology with the popular Pro16® Series, as well as the exclusive developer of the revolutionary Pro64® Series of audio networking products. All Aviom products are powered by A-Net®, the companyâs groundbreaking high-speed digital audio transmission protocol. Aviom products solve problems in a variety of different environments, including live sound reinforcement, audio recording studios, houses of worship, theater, broadcasting and post-production facilities and a host of commercial installations. Aviomâs entire line of high-quality professional audio products are designed and manufactured in the USA.

HRC Statement on Announcement of New Pope
March 13, 2013 by Paul Guequierre
Today the Cardinals of the Catholic Church hierarchy exited their conclave announcing Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the new Pope. Now Pope Francis, he is the new leader of the 1.2 billion member Church. Dr. Sharon Groves, director of the HRC Religion and Faith Program made the following statement.
"We congratulate Pope Francis in his new position as leader for the Roman Catholic Church. As Pope, he has enormous power to be a source of spiritual healing for millions around the world. But for him to be the best kind of spiritual leader, he must acknowledge the signs of the times and embrace LGBT people as worthy of dignity and respect. American lay Catholics are fully supportive of equality, even more so than the broader population. The new Pope should follow the virtuous lead of his flock.
"We hope the new Pope understands the time for religious-based bigotry is not only over, but must be denounced. Demonizing LGBT people and their families from this powerful platform not only fails to keep faith with the most charitable principles of Catholic teachings and the Jesuit tradition of caring for the marginalized, but it does real psychological damage to millions of LGBT people around the world."
A recent poll from New York Times/CBS News found that more than six in ten American Catholics support equal marriage, compared to 53 percent of the country as a whole.

Greenberg Movie Review
While her boss Phil Greenberg (Messina) and family are on holiday, Florence (Gerwig) is taking care of their home and dog. And she also ends up taking care of his brother Roger (Stiller) when he comes to stay in the house. Roger is obsessive-compulsive and not very good at relationships. He gets in touch with his old pal (Ifans) and his newly single ex (Leigh), but is unable to avoid falling for Florence along the way. This doesn't go too well at all, mainly because Roger can't think through anything clearly.
Baumbach inventively infuses the whole movie with Roger's askew personality and perception. Scenes hesitate and take bewildering turns, while the pace of the editing feels organically sluggish, like a man on psychotropic drugs.
Meanwhile, the plot drifts along with seemingly no direction in mind. All of this creates a vivid atmosphere, but without any real momentum all of this navel-gazing isn't very engaging.
The best thing about the film is Gerwig, and it could be argued that Florence is the film's central character, as she's the one who takes the most interesting, involving journey. Gerwig vividly portrays Florence as she tentatively tries to emerge from her shell using good humour and a realistic worldview. She quickly realises that Roger is in a worse place than she is ("Normal stuff is really hard for him," she tells a friend), and Gerwig's scenes with the always-watchable Stiller have a warm, dryly hilarious tone to them.
The film is packed with astute observations and authentic moments, but it's all so one-note that it's annoyingly dull to watch. Despite some very funny dialog, this is ultimately a film about desperate, sad people who are trying to overcome past heartbreaks as they realise they will never achieve their youthful ambitions. But since the awkwardness of their interaction feels utterly real, with half conversations and unfinished physicality, this also means the film never quite manages to say anything to us.

The Hotel room was great and everything that was in it!
The only thing I would say is that the room where you have breakfast was abit over crowded at times with no where to sit at first.
great location, breakfast was good, but I thought it was the tradicional english. good cleaning.
very small room , no microwave or refrigerator.
Cleanliness Near 2 underground stations (central Line) Quiet quarter
No lift Breakfast room too small Bad wifi at the evening
Very good location, good price, nice staff.
Very small breakfast room, and very simple breakfast - no fresh vegetable or fruit at all. In the bath room there were no shelfs or hanger for our things. The water stream in shower was poor. The old window was thumping the whole night.
I lied the cleanliness. It was beautiful and the room was very neat and tidy.
The maid walked in on me while I was naked. She didn't knock, and she took a very long time to leave the room. Very uncomfortable. Talk to your maids about knocking.
-Such a great location -Complimentary Wi-Fi -Breakfast included -Great staff
-Absolutely no value for money -The most simpliest breakfast ever -Cramped hotel building and rooms (very hard to manage with luggages inside the hotel) -Rooms in bad condition, everything breaking down with no intention of the hotel to make any repairs whatsoever
Clean and a quiet and cozy hotel. The breakfast room was clean and very nice! Perfect place near underground in a nice neighbourhood.
The breakfast room was too small. Some of the guests were standing outside waiting for 5-10 minutes before they got a seat. Our bathroom was too small. Not comfortable with no. Windows in the room.
Could not open the bathroom door more than about 12 inches, as it interfered with one of the beds. Also, there is no elevator, and the stairs are quite steep and plentiful.
Nothing except that THE hotel was near to THE underground
THE room, (small and very warm inside), my back still hurts from the bed. There was no pressure in THE shower, THE shower is only ice could or ridiculeness hot. THE breakfast was also bad
Location, great to get around. Near underground, near Portabello Market.
We booked room for 5 people, turns out they counted the big single bed as bed for 2 adults?! Tight spaces even on breakfast room. Cheap breakfast too! You need raise up to let the other people go to their respective tables simply because there was not much space to move around. Our room is situated on the ground floor facing the street. People come out of the hotel steps to talk, smoke and we can hear them. Street light was peeping through the curtain gaps because the curtain was too small for the window. Room was too small for the price. Tiny room tiny T & B, tiny sink, tiny shower. But luckily we are tiny guests. So if tiny guests like us find it too small... better find another hotel if you are on the heavy side.
Room size, minute Dirty stair carpets
The room for breakfast is too small.
Great location
wifi was instable, small room, private bathroom but really small.
Hotel's location was perfect, close to Tube/ bus/ tourist bus stops. Felt safe. Plenty of places to eat close by. Hotel located in quiet street so no noise at night. Staff helpful and friendly. Hotel rooms are clean.
The corridors/ hall of hotel were shabby and could do with a freshen up. Family room very small for 2 adults and 2 older children and felt hot and cramped.
Central location in the middle of London. Polite staff.
Dining room is very small... Assortsment of breakfast is low.
Nice location, very handy and was reasonably priced.
Rooms are pretty small, could only partially open the bathroom door as it was so close the bed. I was on the 4th floor, would fancy taking a big bag up those marrow stairs.
the location is convanient to the parks.
The room is too small; the receptor is not so friendly; the breakfast is not worthy its price.
Location near metro station Clean rooms
Really small room with twin beds. No surface space in room or bathroom No lift
Value for money cost, modern bathroom, clean but let down by.....
Dirty bedspreads - very off-putting, they need deep cleaning or replacing
Location is great.
Website photo's are not representative of the actual room.
Near the station and it is zone1.
Old room. They charge 5 pounds if they keep luggage after checking out.
Position, pleasure, cleaning, international breakfast, private bathroom, reception 24h/day
Service in room doesn't exist, so you can't order food or drinks because they don't have the kitchen. Pay tv doesn't exist. Elevator doesn't exist. Too many stairs if you have big baggages....
The hotel is a couple of minutes walk from the park and from the tube. It's clean and tidy which was nice
The breakfast area is tiny! Don't expect much space if the hotel is busy. The air con in the room was intermittent, which was to do with the settings. We turned it off in the end and deal with the heat rather than the noise
Room v tidy and clean
The breakfast room was so small with 5 tables and no room to pull your chair out. It was a total disgrace and charging £220 per night for a family room made the pain even worse. If you do stay make sure you get up for breakfast before the rest of the guests otherwise you might as well walk 2 mins down the road to eat.

Puerto Caldera transportation
Cruise transfers are $70 per person which really adds up for 9 people ($630). I found Transportation Costa Rica Monteverde online and they offer a private van for up to 5 people for only $95. Any chance anyone has used this company? I would love to save our group 400 bucks so we can spend it on the ship! Thanks for any info you can share!
Re: Puerto Caldera transportation
Oh well, we decided to just go with the cruise tranfers!
Re: Puerto Caldera transportation
Before you book that van, be sure thye know how much luggage 5 passengers will bring.

GBS The Beauty Store is helping to give a little beauty back to the community! In an effort to promote the recycling of unloved beauty appliances, including hair dryers and straightening tools, GBS is offering those who "dump the junk" at their neighborhood GBS store $25 towards a new professional styling tool "trade-up".
In exchange for a donation of a used styling tool, GBS customers will receive a generous $25 towards a new professional styling tool from HAI, including the new Neo Styling Iron, the first flat iron with complete damage control technology that enhances natural body without creating dull, flat locks, and the 3300 Tourmaline Dryer which produces more negative ions than any other dryer on the market, deceasing frizz and overall drying time.
Customers' "trade-in" styling tools must be in working condition and will only be eligible for same category trades (flat iron for flat iron or dryer for dryer).
The store will donate the gently used styling tools to Women in Distress of Broward County, the only nationally accredited, state-certified, full service domestic violence center serving Broward County. The organization offers 24-hour crisis intervention through a hotline and emergency shelter, as well as counseling and support for victims and their children.
The "Dump the Junk" campaign goes through Feb. 28.

The minority carrier diffusion length, LD, was directly measured in individual ZnO nanowires by a near-field scanning photocurrent microscopy technique. The diameter dependence of LD suggests a diameter-dependent surface electronic structure, particularly an increase in the density of mid-band-gap surface states with the decreasing diameter. This diameter dependence of the surface electronic structure might be a universal phenomenon in wurtzite-type nanostructures, and is critical in interpreting and understanding the effects of surfaces on various material properties.

So I got my Create a Critter Cartridge So many cool animals on it. There is even an adorable peanut to go with the elephant
Anyway, I did purchase two square canvases at Joanne's the other day. Is there a tutorial on how to decorate them? I assume I should paint the background (maybe wait until I've chosen the exact paint colors for the room?)??? I did purchase some pink and brown papers at Joanne's as well. I have some mod pog (sp?) too.
Sorry, I'm really new to using my cricut, let alone knowing how to do this fun stuff. The only reason I know it is possible is from you lovely ladies.
How about other ideas like lamp shade decorating, etc? Tutorials, ideas or advice needed!
Love you all!

I don't know if there are tutorials anywhere...I just kinda started out by winging it and learning from my mistakes For wall canvases, I will either cut a piece of paper and used mod podge to glue it on or paint the background. Paint looks neater b/c with paper it is hard to cut it exactly and sometimes the canvas isn't quite even. Also, the paper sometimes gets bubbles underneath if the mod podge dries a little before you can stick it down.
Once you have the canvas painted or however you decide to do it, use mod podge on the back of the cricut cut out to adhere it to the canvas. Once you adhere all the paper cuts, then I put a coat of mod podge all over to seal it. You can do a second coat if you want...sometimes I miss a couple streaky spots and have to go over a few little places, if you know what I mean. I always use the sponge paint brushes to apply it.
I think Charys did vinyl stencils to paint a lamp shade. I have never used vinyl...I have only used contact paper (on glass to etch) or freezer paper (on shirts ironed on as a stencil to paint).
Sometimes I putz around the cricut MB's to get ideas/inspiration. If you go to cricut crafts and the "other crafts" board would have crafts like that.
I will come back if I think of any other "tips"
I am glad you posted this as I've considered doing my own canvas. Lauren, is there any special paint that you use to paint the canvas, or could one use the paint that the kids use? I seriously don't know, that's why I'm asking. What size canvases do you have Stephanie?

I have only done paint once but prefer it over paper (easier to get the edges and no lumpy wrinkly paper) but I use acrylic paints like you can paint unfinished wood projects with. You can get them at whatever craft store. I would go with name brand (Plaid is one) because I tried JA's brand once and I needed a lot more coats... that was on wood though
Fun! I'm excited to see your canvases! I would just start out by painting them and go from there. It's way easier than you think!
