Pilet puts the Flying Lizard No. 79 on GTE Am Pole
Le Mans - 24 Heures du Mans - Le Mans, France
Porsche factory driver and French national Patrick Pilet set the fastest time in GTE Am this week over the three qualifying sessions for the 24 Heures du Mans. The time of 3:57.594, set in the first qualifying session Wednesday afternoon, was the fastest in GTE Am and the No. 79 of Pilet, Seth Neiman (USA), and Spencer Pumpelly (USA) will start on the pole for Saturday's race. The No. 80 Porsche of Joerg Bergmeister, Patrick Long and Marco Holzer will start seventh on the GTE Pro grid.
Pilet commented, "The team did an excellent job preparing the car for quali. When I drove the Porsche on Wednesday it was very balanced; we were able to make some small adjustments in the morning session, then in qualifying, with new tires, I was able to push for my fast lap. Everything has been well planned and we've had few problems. In Thursday's sessions we were able to make sure everyone had enough seat time; we accomplished everything we needed to do over the two days."
The No. 80, which used the Wednesday qualifying session for race setup, encountered bad luck Thursday when a driveline component failed during the second qualifying session. The No. 80 was back out again quickly following the repair, but returned to the garage shortly after for the crew to replace the accelerometer, which was required for optimal traction control. Chief strategist Thomas Blam commented, "The issues at the start of the Thursday session definitely set us back. We had planned on going for our qualifying time in the third and final session, but instead had to continue working on our race setup. However the drivers are pretty happy with the balance of the car and feel that we'll have a solid racecar for the weekend."

CHICAGO – The awesomeness of history loses any of its stuffiness with the incredibly fun, indeed educational show "Drunk History" from Comedy Central, its two seasons now released on DVD. Hosted by its creator Derek Waters, the show is a celebration of various historic figures and their under-appreciated true tales, as expressed by funny people narrating in the universal language of inebriation; their recounts are then reenacted by famous actors working with their given dialogue, dressed with the comic cheapness of a bloated biopic.

Blake paved way for thousands of Air Force women
By Dr. Robert Kane, Air University historian
/ Published March 15, 2014
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. (AFNS) --
The women of today's Air Force can look back with pride to Staff Sgt. Esther McGowin Blake.
"We consider her the first lady of the Air Force," said William Chivalette, the curator of the Enlisted Heritage Hall at Gunter Annex here. "She raised her right hand to enlist in the U.S. Air Force on the first minute of the first hour of the first day, July 8, 1948, that women could join the United States Air Force, created nine months before on September 17, 1947."
Less than a month before, on June 12, 1948, President Harry S. Truman had signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act (Public Law 625-80), which authorized women to serve as regular members of the U.S. armed forces.
Born on July 7, 1897, in Escambia, Ala., Blake served as a civilian employee of the Army Air Forces Air Service Command at the Miami Air Depot, Miami, Fla., now a part of the Miami International Airport, after World War II started.
In March 1944, she enlisted in the Women's Army Corps after the War Department notified her that her oldest son, 1st Lt. Julius Blake, a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot in England, had been shot down over Belgium and was reported missing. He remained "missing in action" for nine months.
Her younger son, 1st Lt. Thomas Blake, who flew a B-25 Mitchell bomber in Italy, later said that his mother joined the Women's Army Corps hoping to free a Soldier from clerical work to fight, thus speeding the end of the war.
"If I can do this," Blake said, "my efforts will be worthwhile."
While Thomas was also shot down after 50 combat missions Blake saw both of her sons return home by the end of the war with only minor wounds and many decorations.
During the war, Blake served at several bases throughout the U.S., including one year in Alaska near the Aleutians and in the Yukon territory. She separated from the Army in November 1945 and returned to her civil service job in Miami. However, heeding a recall for women in the military services, she reenlisted in the Army in April 1947. The Army assigned her to Fort McPherson near Atlanta, Ga.
The Air Force became a separate military service on Sept. 17, 1947. After the enactment of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act on June 12, 1948, the Air Force within a month established the Women in the Air Force as a separate organization to oversee the training and administration of WAF. At the time, Congress had limited the number of women in the Air Force to 300 officers and 4,000 enlisted members, assigned primarily to clerical and medical career fields. The Air Force inactivated the WAF in June 1976.
At the first available opportunity to return to her roots, Blake transferred from the Army to the Air Force on July 8, 1948, minutes after the start of the first duty day for the WAF, along with 11 other women at Fort McPherson. She remained on active duty with the Air Force until 1954, when she separated because of a disability and went to work as a civil servant at the Veterans Administration Regional Headquarters in Montgomery, Ala.
Blake died on Oct. 17, 1979, at 82 years of age, at the Veterans Hospital in Tuskegee, Ala., among fellow veterans.
On Oct. 1, 1987, the Air Force named one of the student dormitories at the Air Force Senior NCO Academy at Gunter Annex, Ala., in her honor.
"In singling out and recognizing in such a special way one of your own, you pay respect and tribute not only to Air Force Staff Sgt. Esther McGowin Blake, you honor all of us who knew and loved her and who were privileged to share her life," her son Thomas said at the dedication ceremony.
"It's never easy being the first. The trail that Esther Blake blazed made it possible for other women to follow," said Chief Master Sgt. Timothy Horn, the Air University command chief. "Her success opened the doors to allow future women the opportunity to serve with pride. Our Air Force is emphatically better for her efforts."
Today, nearly 20 percent of the active-duty members of the Air Force are women. In comparison to the women of Staff Sgt. Blake's Air Force, women in today's Air Force serve in 99 percent of the available career fields, including as security forces members and combat pilots.
"Staff Sgt. Blake's spirit of service to country and duty to the Air Force lives on in the women of today's Air Force," Chivalette said.

Fuel Can
|This article is a stub. You can help the wiki by expanding it.
Fuel cans are filled using the Canning Machine to add 6 fuel cells to an empty fuel can. The classic IC2 fuels are biofuel (26,000 EU per fuel can) and coalfuel (76,440 EU per fuel can). In the current version of IndustrialCraft 2 Experimental, there is currently a glitch that makes it impossible to fill an Empty Fuel Can.
If your modpack also has GregTech installed, a wide range of new fuels can be canned using the Industrial Centrifuge. The amount of EU produced will vary depending on the recipe. The amount of EU will be shown if the player mouses over it in his/her inventory (if you have the "show burn values" option selected in your NEI settings).

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
June 13, 1961 H. A. KRAFTsoN 2,987,921
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SAMPLING GASES Filed Jan. 12, 1956 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 June 13, 1961 H. A. KRAFTsoN METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SAMPLING GASES 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed Jan. 12, 1956 States This invention relates to methods and apparatus for continuously withdrawing from a dust-ladened atmosphere a sample of gas for analysis and has for an object the maintenance of clean, washed sampling lines in avoidance of accumulation of solid particles Within the sampling lines while avoiding the introduction of washing fluids into the dust-ladened gaseous atmosphere.
In the operation of furnaces such as those employed at power plants it is desirable to analyze the combustion or flue gases to determine the composition of the gases, particularly the oxygen or the carbon dioxide content thereof, in order that adjustments, either manual or automatic, may be made to operate the furnaces more efliciently. In carrying out the analysis, samples of the flue gas are aspirated from the flue by way of lines connected to the analyzer. It has been found, however, that where the flue gases are ladened with solid particles such as ily ash and the like the sampling equipment and lines become clogged by accumulation of the solid particles usually at a point in the sampling system where the temperature of the gaseous sample falls to its dew point. At such a location in the system the liquid formed by condensation within the sample gases mixes with the y ash or other solid particles to form a mud which effectively blocks the lines of the sampling system and necessitates the shut-down of the sampling system in order that the clogged lines may be cleaned.
Accumulation of solid particles also may occur by successive impingement of dry solid particles upon internal surfaces of the sampling lines and upon each other.
Where the furnace is of the coal-burning type or any other type producing in the ue gases corrosive materials such as sulphur dioxide or corrosive salts acids or other corrosive liquids are formed when the temperature of the gas sample falls to its dew point. Such liquids may become concentrated to rapidly corrode the sampling lines, necessitating frequent replacement of equipment.
The clogging of the sampling lines has been materially reduced by employing within a portion of the sampling line extending into the ue, such portion being referred to as a probe, a flow of Washing fluid, such as water, which is elective to prevent the accumulation of the solid particles by washing the particles through the sampling system to a point where they may be readily removed. In such systems the washing fluid is introduced at a point within the sampling probe and in such manner that a portion of the washing fluid is ejected or sprayed through the gas inlet of the sampling probe to maintain the inlet clean while the rest of the Washing fluid is directed through the sampling probe in the direction of the gas sample to maintain the sampling lines clean. While such washing of probes has been effective in maintaining the probe and connected sampling lines free from accumulation of solid particles, the introduction of Washing fluid such as water into the ue duct has introduced problems of operation and maintenance of the furnace itself. For example, the water issuing from the Waterwashed probe will, in vmany cases, fall upon furnace or process equipment. Furthermore, where the amount of Wash water owing in the direction of the gas sample is limited and where corrosive materials such as gases or soluble solids are present in the gaseous sample, this l atent ICC wash water absorbs the corrosive materials to form highly concentrated acids such as sulphurous acid which begin to corrode the sampling equipment. Accordingly, it 1s another object of the present invention to provide for substantial dilution of acids formed Within the probe without introducing water or other washing fluids into the furnace or process.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided aduid-washed probe in which the washing iiuid is directed into the inlet of the probe and through the probe always in the direction of flow of the gaseous sample for maintaining the inlet and the internal surfaces of the probe free from accumulation of solid particles carried by the gaseous sample.
More particularly, there is provided in a sampling means including a sampling line for extending into a dustladened atmosphere and having an open end for the removal of a gas sample from the atmosphere, a nozzle having atleast one opening for directing a stream of washing iluid into the open end of the sampling line from a point exterior thereto to prevent closure of the open end by accumulation of dust and other matter. The stream of wash fluid from the nozzle, in the region of the opening or inlet, encompasses an area less than that of the opening to insure that all the Washing iluid from the nozzle enters the sampling means.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the nozzle or spray head is provided with a plurality of openings all directed toward the open end of the sampling line or probe for producing in effect several streams of washing lluid. The streams of fluid define an area of lesser crosssection than the cross-section of the inlet of the sampling line for entry of all of the washing fluid from the nozzle into the inlet and through the sampling line to maintain the inlet open and to provide a uid wash for the sampling line.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention there is provided within the sampling probe and in the path of the gaseous sample and washing uid a means for swirling the washing fluid and the gaseous sample to bring the washing iiuid into contact with all the internal surfaces of the probe to maintain the surfaces free from accumulation of dust.
For other objects and advantages of the present invention reference may now be had to the following detailed description taken with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates in partial cross-section a gas analyzing system including the improved gas sampling probe; and
FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-section of a huid-washed vsampling probe embodying the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a flue duct 10 of a furnace, the gases of which are to be continuously sampled, cleaned and analyzed in order to determine the concentration of one or more components such as, for example, oxygen or carbon dioxide. Samples of the ue gas are continuously drawn into an inlet 11 of a sampling probe 12 by creation of a low pressure at the inlet through the operation of an aspirator 13 connected in the sampling line 14 at a point outside the gaseous atmosphere of the flue duct. The gaseous sample is cleaned by the operation of the aspirator 13, which is of the steam type, a water condenser 15, and a separator 16 and analyzed by an analyzer 17. The gas cleaning system described in detail hereinafter, is claimed in a copending joint application, Serial No. 558,731, filed by E. M. Yard and me on January l2, 1956, now United States Patent No. 2,895,335.
The sampling probe 12 is usually mounted on a wall of the duct 10 and extends into the ue duct at a point spaced I Patented June 13, 1961 p above furnace equipment such as the ai-r preheater. Where the furnace is of the coal-burning type, the gases passing through the iiue are heavily ladened with solid particles,.for example fly ash, and contain'corrosive gases such as sulphur dioxide. This dusty corrosive mixture is drawn intoand through the sampling probe 12 by the operation of the aspirator 13. In order to prevent the accumulation within the probe, sample lines, and the aspirator of the solid particles, the probe 12 is wahsed with a uid, preferably water, which is introduced into the inlet of the probe and then preferably given a swirling motion during its initial passage through the probe. The path taken by the water is always in the direction ofthe gas sample, and its passage through the inlet 11 maintains the inlet free from accumulation of solid particles which would otherwise close the inlet. The internal wall structure of the probe 12 is maintained clean by the passage of the washing water therethrough; the water. carrying the solid particles and corrosive materials from the probe to a point Where they are later discharged from the system as at the separator 16.
By introducing the Washing iiuid from a point outside the probe there is avoided the introduction of washing fluid into the iiue and onto furnace equipment while obtaining full beneiit of the washing-duid to maintain the inlet 11 and the interior of the probe 12 free from accumulation, of solid particles.
Because all the washing water is directed into the probe and through the sampling system the amount of water used may be determined solely by the cleaning requirements of the system and independently from any effects upon furnace equipment. Accordingly, where the flue gas contains corrosive gases such as sulphur dioxide and/ or corrosive hygroscopic materials such as salts, the concentration of corrosive liquids formed by these materials with water may be diluted by increasing the amount of water directed through the probe 12.
A preferred form of the probe 12 illustrated in FIG. 2 comprises a pair of concentrically aligned tubes 18 and 19 having an annular space 211 therebetween through which the gas sample and the washing fluid are passed from annular inlet 11 toan outlet 21 and thence to sampling line 14. The tube 19 carries water to a nozzle 22 located beyond the inlet 11 and mounted onto the end of the tube 19. The water is reversed within the nozzle 22 and flows from a jet or jets 23 into the inlet 11 and through the tube 18 These jets 23 are provided by a plurality of circularly disposed openings facing into the annular inlet 11. The introduction of all the washing water into inlet 11 is assured by arranging the jets 23 in a configuration so that the resulting spray of wash water at the inlet 11 in the form of a plurality of streams has a cross-sectional area less than the crosssectional area of the inlet. There is thus avoided the introduction of wash water into the flue duct and the consequent interference with the proper operation of furnace equipment such as preheaters and filters.
The pressure at which the washing water is forced from the openings will vary with each application. It may be controlled by valve 24 (FIG. 1) and measured by gage 25 located in wash-water feed line 26. One requirement is that such pressure should be adequate to form a stream which will pass through the space from the openings 23 into the inlet 11. Another factor to be considered is the rate `at which the gas current iiows through the tine The velocity of the water flowing from the nozzle 22 should be sufficient so as not to be excessively dedlected by gas currents flowing across the path of the wash water. In one installation of the present invention the wash water. was fed from the nozzle at a pressure of lO pounds per square inch gauge and all the water entered the probe 12 despite a gas current iiow through the iiue duct at. 50 feet per second.. For most practical applications ofthe present invention the water supplied for washing' purposes should be available from a system capable of producing pressure variations of from 5 to 25 pounds per square inch, in order to provide for adjustment in the water stream Velocity and for variation in the quantity of water introduced into the probe.
The openings or orifices 23 formed in the nozzle 22 are preferably of a small cross-sectional.area,.usually of the order of one thirty-second inch in diameter. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a' source of filtered water to provide a washing fluid from which the larger solid particles have been removed.
In order to assure the cleaning of all the internal surfaces of the probe 12 by the washing water, the washing water is moved in a swirling path soon after it enters the probe 12. The swirling action may in one embodiment be provided by a helical coil 27 mounted within the concentric space 20 and substantially filling the space to impart to the water a helical motion. The swirling motion imparted to the water by the helical coil 27 breaks the washing water into small droplets which are caused to move to and along the inside surface of the tube 13 to maintain the surface free from accumulation of solid particles.
The helical coil 27 may extend a substantial length of the probe or as shown may comprise a coil of a few turns extending only a short distance from the inlet 11.
The innertube 19 is maintained in concentric relation with tube 1S by the helix. 27 mounted at one end of 'the tube 19 and by a water-tight plug 28 mounted at an opposite end of the inner tube. The plug 281s shown arranged with a threaded end 28a adapted for connection to a feed'line 26 connected to a suitable source of wash water. The plug 28 also provides a barrier dividing the passageway 20 from the center portion of the tube 19 at the exhaust 21.
Because all the wash water is passed from the nozzle 22 into' the inlet 11 and through the probe-12 in avoidance of water flow into the duct or process, the amount of water introduced into the probe may be varied to suit other considerations of the specific installation. For example, where the corrosive content of the diue gas is high it will be desirable to use more water than would be used where the corrosive content of the iiue gas is lower; the increased amount of water being employed to dilute the liquids formed by the combinationof some of the corrosive gases and hygroscopic solid particles with the wash water. In ay specilic installation wherer the inner tube 19 had `an outside diameter of one-quarter inch and thetube 18 had an inside diameter of one-half inch water was introduced into the probe at the rate of one quart per minute. Under the specic conditions of co'rrosive gas content this amount of water was adequate to dilute any acids formed within the probe and, in addition, was found to have a negligible elect upon the oxygen concentration o'f the gaseous sample.
The probe 12 may be mounted directly to the Wall of duct 10 or, as shown, may be mounted by way of structure including sleeve 29 threaded to a bushing 10a welded on inner wall structure 10b. The wall structure 10b may be covered as at 10c with suitable heat insulating material. A cap 30 mounted at an opposite end of the sleeve 29 receives the probe 12 which is secured thereto' by sleeve 31. The sleeve 31 is fastened to cap 30 by way of circumferential weld 31a.
The probe 12 may extend into the liue at any angle. However, it is preferred that the probe assembly 12 be held at an angle, for example, of 5 with respect to horizontal with the gas inlet 11 higher than the gas outlet 21 with the probe so disposed that all the wash water will flow through the probe to the outside of the flue duct and run. out through the outlet 21 even in the labsence of aspiration. Where the pressure within the duct 1t) is subatmospheric there may be produced, in absenceof aspiration, sufficient low pressure to cause reverse flow through the sampling tube resulting in wash water -being drawn into the liue. For this reason it may be desirable to' include a pressureresponsive switch (not shown) at or beyoud the discharge of the aspirator 13 (Fig. 1) in order to provide a signal to indicate when the gas flow through the sampling probe assembly 12 has stopped and to indicate that there is a danger of water being drawn into the flue duct. If desired, suitable automatic -wash Water shutoff valve may be added for operation in conjunction with the pressure responsive switch.
While the sampling probe of the present invention is illustrated as being employed with a speciic gas cleaning and analyzing system now -to be described, it Will be understood that the probe is etective with other types of gas cleaning and analyzing systems.
In the cleaning and separating system of FIG. 1 the sample of gas is drawn into the system by operation of the steam aspirator 13, conditioned for separation of the solid particles from the gas by the aspirator and by the co'ndenser 15 `and the solid particles and water are separated from the gas within the separator 16; the clean gas then being directed to the analyzer 17. This sampling and cleaning arrangement is eiective vfor removing solid particles ranging in size from less than one micron and larger and is capable of continuous operation for extended periods of time Without the necessity of major maintenance requiring the shut-down of the system.
In the preferred arrangement the aspirator 13 is comprised of a steam nozzle 32 which passes a high velocity jet of steam past the exhaust connection of the sampling probe 12 to produce at the inlet of the sampling probe a low pressure for aspiration of sample gases through the probe and into the steam jet. From the steam nozzle 32 to the analyzer 17 the system is under positive pressure due to the steam ow from the nozzle 32 and thus there is avoided the introduction into the system of contaminating yatmosphere gases.
By reason of the increased amount of Wash fluid introduced into the sampling lines by probe 12 the jet no'zzle 32 and chamber 13a are maintained free from accumulation of solids carried by the gas sample. There is thus obviated frequent shut-downs of the sampling system for purpose of cleaning the aspirator 13.
The steam aspirator 13 also performs a iirst step in the conditioning of the gaseous sample for separation of solid particles and corrosive gases therefrom. The sample gases entering the aspirator 13 are intimately mixed with the steam from the nozzle 32. During the course of mixing the steam surrounds `the individual solid and liquid particles contained in the gas sample. The mixture of steam, gas and solid or liquid particles passes out of the chamber 13a by Way of a diffuser 33 including a venturi section 34 into the condenser 15 where the mixture is reduced in temperature and the steam condensed. The steam condenses Iabout the solid or liquid particles; the particles serving as nuclei about Which the condensed steam forms in droplets. The apparent weight of the dust particles is increased and thus the dust particles are conditioned for separation from the gas Within the separator 16.
The condenser 15 is of the type in which Water is fed into the condenser chamber from a nozzle 35 connected as by way of pipe 36 to `a source of Water which may be the same source used for Washing purposes Within the probe 12. While the water may be sprayed into the condenser, in the illustrated embodiment it is fed into the condenser in a Solid stream. The stream o'f Water from the nozzle '35 is fed into the condenser at suiciently high pressure, for example l5 p.s.i., which may -be indicated by gage 3S, so that upon striking an oppositely disposed wall of the condenser the stream of Water breaks up into droplets thoroughly intermixing with and rapidly cooling the gaseous mixture. Condensation of the steam is essentially complete by the time the mixture enters the separator 16.
Contrary to expectation the Water introduced into the condenser 15, even though it be of the type referred to as normal, that is water which has not been deaerated, does not materially aect the accuracy of the oxygen measurement made of the gaseous sample. While the accuracy of the oxygen measurement is aiected by the introduction of the air from the condenser water and while the amount of air released from the condenser water will increase with increase of water temperature, the error introduced in the actual measurement of oxygen content is kept at a low value by making small the ratio of condenser water flow 4to sample gas ow. In this manner the amount of air released forms a very small percentage of the total volume of gas to be analyzed. For example, in one system now in use 30 lcubic feet per hour of sample gas was drawn through the sampling system while condenser Water was fed into the system at the rate lof 60 gallons per hour. In this system the error introduced amounted to less than one-tenth of a percent of oxygen by volume. With the percentage of error known, the analyzer 17 may be preset to take into account this error and thus be adjusted to render an accurate reading of oxygen concentration. Because the error introduced by the illustrated system is of such a low order of magnitude it has been found that overall variations in error over long periods of operation are also of a low order and for this reason the analyzer, once calibrated, need not again be adjusted unless the above ratio be altered.
The accuracy of the measurement of oxygen concentration is also affected by the degree of absorption of carbon dioxide fin the condenser water. Inasmuch as gas analyzers measure concentration by volume, a change in the volume as by absorption of carbon dioxide Will materially atect the percentage concentration ofthe other components. Accordingly, it is desirable to minimize absorption of 'carbon dioxide by the condenser Water. Absorption of carbon dioxide will decrease with increase of water temperature. For example, at 20 C., 0.17 gram of carbon dioxide can be dissolved in cc. of Water. As the temperature of the Water approaches its boiling point the carbon dioxide absorption becomes essentially zero. Therefore, the amount of water introduced into the condenser 15 may be adjusted so that the water issuing from the condenser will be at a temperature sufiiciently high, as indicated by a suitable temperatureresponsive device 51, to minimize carbon dioxide absorption. For example, in one system the temperature of the water issuing from the condenser 15 was maintained at F. The error in the oxygen measurement amounted to less than one-tenth of one percent.
Where the gaseous component to be analyzed is carbon dioxide it may be desirable to maintain the water issuing from the condenser at a temperature higher than 140 F. Although oxygen released from the condenser water increases with water Itemperature the percentage change of oxygen content does not materially atect the accuracy of the carbon dioxide measurement.
The amount `of Water introduced into the condenser 15 will also be determined by the acid concentration of the mixture fed to the condenser. While the water-washed probe of the present invention adequately dilutes acids formed by absorption of corrosive gases, such as sulphurdioxide, some of the corrosive gases remain in a free non-absorbed state. However, when the gas sample is mixed with the steam Within the steam aspirator 13 some of the remaining corrosive gases may go into solution with the wash Water from the probe 12. Under certain circumstances the concentration of the acids or corrosive liquids thus formed may be increased to a value high enough to cause corrosion Within the gas cleaning equipment. Since the concentration of corrosive liquids increases With time `of icontact between the gases and the Water, the concentration may be maintained at an eiectively non-corrosive level by arranging the condenser physically as close as possible to the steam aspirator. The remainder of the corrosive gases are absorbed within the condenser 15 by condensation of the steam. The additional corrosive liquids thus formed are diluted by the condenser water. Under most `conditions the water required for condensation purposes will be adequate to completely dilute the ycorrosive liquids.
The mixture from the condenser comprised of the condensed steam, conditioned solid or liquid particles, diluted acids and gases is then separated by causing the mixture to ow rapidly in ya vortical path. The separation is carried out within the centrifugal separator 16 having a tangential inlet 39 connected to the lcondenser 15. The mixture is introduced into the centrifugal separator at a high velocity imparted to the mixture by the flow of steam out of the steam nozzle 32. The mixture is rotated due to its own velocity at a high speed which develops centrifugal force for movement rof the water particles and entrained dust particles outwardly and downwardly along the walls of the separator with coincident movement of the now clean gaseous sample inwardly and upwardly. The clean, solid-free gas sample is withdrawn from the upper portion of the separating zone within the separator 16- and conducted at high velocity to the analyzer 17 as by way of pipe or conduit 42a. The velocity and pressure of gas introduced to the analyzer by way of line 42a may be varied by adjusting valve 40 controlling the ow of steam from the nozzle 32. The pressure is indicated by gage 41. Gas sample velocities of 50 feet per second or higher are easily attainable. i
The volume of the separating portion of the centrifugal separator 16 is preferably made small, While still retaining eicient gas cleaning characteristics, in order to reduce the time for a specific sample of gas to be moved from the inlet of the separator to the gas outlet thereof. This factor is of partciular importance where the analyzer 17 is to be part of la control apparatus governing the operation of the furnace. In such instances the time lag, that is the time it takes for a gas sample to be drawn into the probe and finally introduced to the analyzer, should be as small as possible.
The centrifugal separator 16 is provided with a pair of outlets, one of which, the clean-gas outlet 42, is at all times open to the analyzer, the other one of which, the refuse outlet 43, is operated by a float controlled valve 44 to assure a predetermined separating space for the mixture, and to prevent loss of sample gases to the atmosphere.
The oat control valve 44 within the centrifugal separator 16 is of the balanced type and accordingly is moved to an opened or closed position independently of the static pressures within the separator. The valve 44 includes a oat member 45 which is responsive to the height of the water and Waste mixture within the separator to open. or close valves 46 and 47 mounted to a stem 48 attached to the underside of the float member 45. The oat control valve 44 maintains the height of the water and waste mixture at a substantially constant level. For example, when the volume of the water and waste mixture rises above a predetermined point the float valve 44 rises to lift the valve members 46 and 47 from their respective seats 49 and Si) thus permitting a quantity of the mixture to be exhausted by way of outlet 43. As the volume of the mixture is decreased the valve members 46 and 47 are again seated.
As aforesaid, the operation of the float control valve 44 is independent of the static pressures within the separator by reason of the pressures acting upon valve member 46 in a downward direction being counteracted by the pressures being brought upon the valve member 4'7 in an upward direction. While the illustrated loat control valve 44 is of a preferred construction it will be understood that other float control valves may be substituted therefor and that other constructions of centrifugal separators and other forms of separators may also be employed for the separation of the sample gases from the water particles and solid matter. It is desirable, however, that the separator be of the centrifugal type in ,.8 order that the time lag of the system be'reduced to a value making practical the application of the gas analyzing system to automatic control of a furnace or process.
In one installation of the present invention the anlyzer was located feet from the probe. The time interval for a gas sample to reach the analyzer was between 8 and l0 seconds. Because the gas issuing from the separator 16 was free of solids and corrosive materials the line 42a was of copper tubing having an internal diameter of three-sixteenths inch.
With the described system including the improved water-washed probe 12 of the present invention the system time lag has been reduced to a significant degree. In addition, corrosion has been reduced and furnace equipment has been protected from the effects of the washing water so that the sampling system is continuously operable over long periods of time without necessitating shut-downs for maintenance and/ or repair. Accordingly, a clean gas sample is at all times continuously and rapidly fed to the analyzer. Therefore, any suitable gas analyzer may be connected for automatic control of furnace or process operation.

Resort Cotton Bath Towel 2172 2420
Love These Towels This is my third set of these bath towels. I have numerous sets of hand towels also. They are thick, soft, and absorbent. They hold up well with frequent washes. February 7, 2012
luxurious towels I purchased these towels in expresso, and they are just divine! I have never experienced more thick, soft, absorbant towels, even at a resort. They wash beautifully as well. I am very pleased with the thickness, and the color. February 7, 2012
Resort Towels This is my second set of resort towels. I love them they are very thick and best of all they do not snag. There are also great colors to choose from along with monagraming them with different designs and colors. If you like thick lush towels these are for you. As my guest bathroom towels wear out I plan to replace them with the resort towels. February 7, 2012
Resort Bath Sheet Found color to be a true toupey gray and slightly off from selection. Excellent quality, soft and very heavy. Wall hook came undone from weight of towel. Still found towel to be a great value. February 7, 2012
Helpful staff I recently ordered some 'resort quality' cotton towels and was very pleased with what I received. So I decided to augment with hand towels and wash cloths. I had a problem with the monogram portion of the order program so called. The person I talked to was alert, understanding, quickly placed my order for me, and said she would pass on the issue I had with the having a monogram. Shortly thereafter I decided I wanted to augment that order so called again. That call was, again, handled promptly and pleasantly. I find Frontgate a good place to shop. February 7, 2012
Great quality towel Nice length, fluffy and top quality. Monogramming was done well. Happy with the purchase. February 7, 2012
Resrt Towels and wash cloths Very high quality.The regular towels are very large and assorbent. Wash rags are very ample also. I bought a set of each of the nuetral colors.Very pleased February 7, 2012
Nice Towels Good quality towels. The color was not what I expected. February 7, 2012
Best towels ever! If you are looking for a thick, soft towel. Look no further. The Resort towel is for you. Very soft and absorbent, I just love them. February 6, 2012

Resort Cotton Towels Love these towels! This is the second time I am ordering them. I have recommend these to all my friends. They are soft, durable, and long lasting. February 6, 2012
Great towels Love these towels! Wanted to update my bathroom colors and saw the yellow in a grey and white bathroom and had to get the yellow (daybreak) towels and rug. Not only are the towels a lovely shade , but the towels are very substantial and soft! These are probably the nicest towels I have ever owned.. Will come back for more when we finish remodeling our second bathroom! February 6, 2012
Resort Cotton Towels I am hoping that after more than one wash, these towels will become more absorbent. After one wash, they do not meet expectations. They are soft, but they do not soak up the water after a shower. February 6, 2012
January Towels Barely acceptable - not the color I wanted (and ordered previously) and not the logo design I wanted. February 5, 2012
Unequal Luxury! These towels are unbelievably luxurious. They absorb the water instantly and surround you in softness. Absolute bargain! I ended up buying several more than expected. February 5, 2012
These are fantastic! My husband saw your ad in the Wall Street Journal. I tend not to be an online shopper and was concerned about a non-returnable (monogrammed) purchase. These towels are soft, absorbent and beautiful! Wish I had discovered them before my recent "in person" purchase of Turkish cotton towels. February 5, 2012
Plush The word plush definitely fits these towels. The cotton is very thick and dense. The only slightly negative thing was the monogram was smaller\thinner than how it looked on-line. February 5, 2012
Excellent value and quality I like the product a lot but you should have offered a wash cloth and hand towel combination to make a set. Good product and I am glad I ordered them. February 5, 2012
Resort cotton towels Overall nice looking towels with monograms but was disappointed with it's water absorbing capabilities. The cotton needs to be treated such that water absorbing capabilities are enhanced. February 5, 2012
Bath towels Very fine quality but color was not the bright blue shown in the catalog. February 4, 2012
Great towels We love our latest order of resort towels. They seem softer and even more absorbent then the ones we have been enjoying all along. Thanks for keeping your products always better. The free monograming makes them extra special, another front gate edge. February 4, 2012
Resort Cotton Towels are disaapointing to my husba He wanted a larger towel than we had previously, but he finds the resort cotton towels are larger, but they don't dry off the water. He still feels wet after drying off. February 4, 2012
Best Towels Ever High quality and very soft towels! These are going to be my "standard" from now on. February 4, 2012
The Best! Simply the best towels I have ever owned (or used)! February 4, 2012
better than we expected All of these towels exceeded our expectations will repurchase February 4, 2012
great purchase These are great towels been purchasing these for many years. They make wonderful wedding gifts! February 4, 2012
Resort cotton bath towels WOW what a great bath towel. These are the softest towels i have ever owned. They are so absorbent and soft. it's like wiping your body off with a silk sheet. One swipe and you are dry. Have washed them and no lint residue in dryer or washer. Would buy these again in a heartbeat. Look no further for towels, this is the place. The sale price made it even nicer. No need to wash on cold, or even dry on low. Also use dryer sheet to get the nice smell. February 4, 2012
Monogram bath towels loved the towels. Disappointed that monogram on one set was wrong. Quick response, got replacement fast. Love them!!!! February 4, 2012
Beautiful towels I treated myself to these gorgeous towels for my renovated master bath. They're thick, soft and luxurious, plus the monogramming makes really special. February 4, 2012
Beyond Luxury These towels are so thick it's ridiculous. I am delighted with them. I wish I could afford to put them in every bath in the house, but I'm at least I have them in our new master bath which I have tried to turn into a Zen-like spa space. February 4, 2012

Of course, just becoming a parent takes the adult out of their comfort zone.
Parenting entails enormous self-sacrifice, setting one's needs and wants aside for those of the child, plus coupling great responsibility with relatively little influence over all that happens to their child and what the child chooses to do. Parents constantly wonder and worry about what is really going on with their child and what is best for their child. To a large degree, they have to operate in more ignorance about these questions than they would ideally like, hence their worry and anxiety – the intermittent stress of parenthood that seems to never go away.
Parenting is not for the faint of heart. It takes endless work supporting, nurturing, and preparing the next generation of human life. Being tired is not a problem for most parents; it is a daily reality. Rewarding in many ways parenting can be; but comfortable it very often is not. Perhaps this is partly why (in addition to economics and starting families later) family size has diminished in recent years in this country, and partly why many married couples choose to remain childless. Parenting is not some automatic obligation that comes with a committed partnership or marriage; it is a life changing choice to be carefully considered.

You may not need a new keyboard but that gives you an idea as to what it would cost.

Looked at those earlier. Absolutely nothing when keys pressed. Had existing keyboard out to check connections and for dirt etc but no change. May go for the keyboard, cheaper to try than repair shop. Thanks for replying!

June 14, 2014 to September 07, 2014
Cincinnati was not only a center for art pottery and furniture; it was also a significant hub for the production and trade of luxury silver wares. In the years prior to 1850, Cincinnati boasted the largest concentration of silversmiths, jewelers, watch and clockmakers in the Midwest. This exhibition will showcase 150 to 200 objects, ranging from elegantly wrought soup tureens to tea sets in styles that span the Neoclassical to Art Deco periods. Supplemented by a few key loans, the works are drawn primarily from the Cincinnati Art Museum's collection of Cincinnati silver, which has quadrupled in size over the last decade. Many of these new additions, which have never been on display, will be accompanied by related account and sample books, archival photographs, portraits, and furnishings of the period.
Amy Dehan, Curator of Decorative Arts and Design, curated the exhibition and was the primary author of the accompanying 400-page, color illustrated book. This publication represents the first new scholarship on the subject since 1975.
This exhibition is presented by:
Cambridge Charitable Foundation, in memory of Charles H. Randolph
Marcia and Ron Joseph
Ohio Historical Decorative Arts Association
Lee Cowan Tour Group Fund
Tureen, 1870s, Duhme & Co., United States (Cincinnati), coin silver, Museum Purchase: John S. Connor Endowment, Mark P. Herschede Endowment and Dwight J. Thomson Endowment., 1999.207

The Virginia football program suffered a blow with the announcement of leading receiver Jake McGee's decision to transfer. The graduate transfer rule will make him eligible to play right away for the Florida Gators. McGee finished with a team high 43 receptions for just under 400 yards and two touchdowns last season with the Cavaliers. For the Gators the announcement could not come at a better time as they have been in search of a playmaking tight end since the departure of Aaron Hernandez.
For McGee the decision of where to transfer was never in question. The McGee family recently visited the University of Florida and the rest was history.
"I had a great visit," Jake McGee said. "I met and really fell in love with coach [Kurt] Roper's offense. I will be getting my masters in recreation and sports management and the academics and the campus is a great fit for me. Coach [Will] Muschamp is someone I clicked with early in this process and I am excited to play for him."
McGee will be a sight for sore eyes for Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel and the two quickly bonded.
"I got to spend a lot of time with Jeff Driskel," McGee said. I am excited to start working with him."

White Cotton artistry celebrates the character that comes from owning an item for a long time – it becomes faded, scratched and worn because someone has loved it and kept it in their family. The gifts I have loved have been scratched from the many moves, worn smooth from use or from being treasured.
My designs have the "character" that comes from time – they will appear chipped, worn or faded. I believe this gives them the patina that creates a home with warmth and history. Each piece is unique – no two items are exactly alike. They are all imperfect and worn – showing the wear that comes from being treasured. I hope you enjoy my designs as much as I enjoy creating them.
The wedding gift that stood out most to me was a tray with my marriage initials engraved into the center. It was my most treasured gift because I was so excited to see my initials intertwined with my fiance's. Because this was my most treasured gift, I decided to create something similar that I could give. This is how my trays began. One day as I was painting the monogram, I was struck with the fact that it is a perfect symbol of marriage. Marriage is designed to be the union between husband and wife – as they leave their family to become "one".
As I began to search out the origination of the monogram, I came across this definition
|"The decorative combination of letters known as monograms and ciphers are often interchanged to a point where the distinction between the two may have disappeared in all but scholarly circles. Strictly speaking, a monogram is the combination of two or more letters in such a way that one letter forms part of another and the overall design cannot easily be separated (Fig. 3).
Fig 3. Slipper Monogram, metalic thread. By kind permission of M Hand & Company, Ltd., London W1R 3HQ. Website
This description declares that the "letters combine in such a way that one letter forms part of another and the overall design cannot easily be separated." In a day when marriages can be easily separated – the monogram illustrates the forming of "one" overall design. In marriage, God designed us to become one – so that no one can tell where one begins and the other ends. This is my favorite symbol for weddings and anniversaries – or any special occasion that deserves a personal and meaningful gift. " Diann
These trays can be personalized with the family name and year they were married or a monogram.
14″ x 21″ $89.00
12″ x 12″ $69.00
All trays are completely hand painted. Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for each design. Products can be ordered online through the White Cotton Shop by sending an email to email@example.com.
Child's Tray Personalized
PERSONALIZED WOODEN PLACEMATS:Fabric placemats are beautiful until you wash them the first time! They shrink or stain – and are never as beautiful as when you first purchased them. I wanted to create a placemat that wouldn't wrinkle or stain – and one that could coordinate with my decor and be left on the table between meals. I started painting these wooden placemats for my own table, and have painted several styles. My current placemat is simple and stylish, and will easily coordinate with any decor or dish.
CHOOSE:Placemats can be painted with a name, monogram, or a letter. They also can be painted with no design.
COLORS:Choose from Barn Wood Khaki, Steel Grey, Spa Green, Blue Mist or Classic White. They also come in these colors with no design. Each placemat is fully backed with cork and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Each placemat has a cork backing that protects your table and soaks up any moisture.
I love these placemats because they never wrinkle or stain – I just wipe them clean and the protective finish keeps them looking the same as the day I painted them!
