Match report
Yaya Toure, Edin Dzeko and Carlos Tevez struck as a dominant Manchester City narrowly saw off QPR at the Etihad Stadium.
Sixteen weeks after the dramatic season finale that crowned City Barclays Premier League champions at the same ground, the hosts survived another scare against the side led by their former manager, Mark Hughes.
Despite creating a multitude of chances, City needed a quick response from Dzeko after Bobby Zamora cancelled out Toure's effort but Tevez made the scoreline more convincing in injury time.
City, who were watched by Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho ahead of their Champions League meeting, soon established control with Dzeko, starting for the first time this season, glancing a header wide from a corner. The Bosnian went even closer at another corner but Fabio da Silva hacked the ball off the line. Toure powered in on the rebound but Shaun Wright-Phillips blocked.
The home side took the lead in the 16th minute as Tevez saw an effort blocked from yet another corner but Toure followed up to thump home.
Former Real Madrid midfielder Esteban Granero had QPR's first shot when he found space outside the area but Joe Hart was not troubled. David Silva tricked his way into the QPR box and dug the ball out from under his feet to force Rob Green to save and Samir Nasri was unable to follow up.
Silva spurned another opportunity when he was played through by a superb long ball from Aleksandr Kolarov. The Spaniard failed to get away a shot quick enough and Fabio produced another timely block. Tevez fired over as City continued to power forward but Rodwell opted to pass instead of shoot.
City returned for the second half with much the same approach as the first and threatened a second straight from the restart as Tevez drilled an awkward shot at Green. Pablo Zabaleta went even closer as he took a pass from Silva and curled an effort onto the bar.
QPR levelled against the run of play just before the hour. Andrew Johnson stole possession outside the area and forced a good save from Hart with a deflected shot that Zamora headed home.
Parity lasted less than two minutes as City swiftly moved back up the field and Tevez crossed for Dzeko to head home at close range. City wrapped up the match in injury time as Tevez, moving back into an onside position, diverted the ball home from Dzeko's shot.

A double feature big-boob boy-girl holiday weekend and much more at SCORELAND
Posted by Elliot James on Nov 27, 2014 in Cummin Soon, Hardcore XXX, New at Scoreland, newcomers
We're giving away the farm here at SCORELAND, flooding the world with big boobs and sex.
New SCORE Girl Alyssa Lynn and new 40something Girl Cassie Cougar were shooting separately when they met in the dressing room. Of course, a camera was whipped out while the girls chatted and got to know each other. Alyssa was a nurse. Cassie was a secretary at a hospital. They both have big tits. They're both horny. Plus, a solo set and vid of Alyssa.
Friday: Cat Bangles' first anal!
Sexual skills don't come any hotter. Cat has only shot for SCORELAND. Cat came close to making super-stud JMac lose his load fast in her first boy-girl scene. Mirko deserves a cookie (and he gets one and more) for not losing his shit after what Cat does to his boner with her throat in the first few minutes. Way to go, Cat!
Saturday: Red Vixen's first hardcore scene!
There's an acronym that's been used at SCORELAND the past few years: WILF. "Wife I'd Like To Fuck." The newest WILF is blue-eyed, redheaded sexbomb Red Vixen. The wife of a SCORE reader, Red was encouraged by her hub to pose, but it took her time to take the step. Red brings her special style of sex appeal to the big-boob show, a blend of erotic seduction and slam-bam fucking.
Sunday: Claudia Kealoha finally shows off her sexy body in ridiculously tiny bikinis in the dressing room. I've been waiting for this for a long time. Dave asks Claudia what she does to stay in such beautiful shape. Claudia says it's a combination of Muay Thai kickboxing training, jogging and swimming. Seeing is believing. Plus, Claudia puts on a spanking-hot cam show.
And then on Monday, a surprise when a popular SCORE Girl returns knocked-up.
Do you know who this is? A clue: The photo was taken in 2005. Another clue: She went by the name Koko Li. Hey, no Googling! Figure it out for yourself!

More readers' letters to "Scorecard" and "V-Mail"
Posted by Elliot James on Nov 25, 2014 in Uncategorized
"Scorecard" (email@example.com) is the readers' letter section of SCORE. Voluptuous magazine opens with "V-Mail" (firstname.lastname@example.com). I've selected a few letters from each for today's BLOG. Our mailing address: The SCORE Group, 1629 NW 84 Ave., Miami, FL 33126.
Alan writes, "I've read enough about this controversy raging through V-mag that I felt I finally needed to weigh in. I've been enjoying Voluptuous since the first issue and have seen a lot of really fabulous ladies come and go. I've even been around for the argument that went around for a short while when the slogan at the top of every issue dropped 'All Plump' in between 'All Stacked' and 'All Natural.' I've been around for the back and forth when the powers considered changing the name of the mag. I've seen the advent of hardcore as well as pregnant women and the yeas and nays that have gone with that. I've even seen one girl pee in a spread. There's been a lot that's gone on in this magazine since this magazine began back in the mid-'90s.
"But I haven't seen a debate that's gone on longer than the one regarding whether or not the girls are obliged to show their pussies. To be included in a men's magazine, is it truly necessary for a model to show her slit, even in this day and age? Is is particularly necessary for a model to show pink, especially in a fetish mag (let's face it gang, that's what Voluptuous is) dedicated to breasts? Now, am I complaining about those ladies that do give us a glimpse of that lovely haven between their legs? Not in the least. I love pussy, don't get me wrong. My opinion on the matter is: Voluptuous and its sister, SCORE, are tit mags. Technically, that's all they're really obligated to give us. That the great majority of models are willing to show us everything is simply an added, and very welcome, plus.
"Regarding the incredibly sexy ladies at the center of this storm: Ashley Sage Ellison has posed bottomless, she merely hasn't spread to show us more. I'm being honest here: I didn't even notice that Leanne Crow and Karla James hadn't shown their pussies until this whole thing came up. I'd been so smitten by them that the fact they weren't showing pink completely went by me. And you know what? It still doesn't matter to me. So, as far as I'm concerned, if a requirement to show their pussies means we'd no longer get to see Karla, Ashley and Leanne, or any other girl who wasn't ready to go that next step, then I'm definitely against such a requirement. There have been other ladies who've gone quite a while without showing us everything, who eventually decided to do so, that I'm willing to wait until they're ready, as long as they're still willing to show the rest of their luscious bodies. Voluptuous is a tit mag, after all, my friends, and a damn fine one at that. Keep up the good work."
ED writes, "I look back through my collection of magazines and DVDs, especially after the great recession and how many magazines have folded, and I wonder about what all the younger people have missed out on and maybe even don't know they missed out on. (It may have been more about the recession than it was about things going online.) I look back through some seriously thick magazines and such a variety. Were the 1980s-90s-2000s a golden age of adult media? I also love looking back through the magazines and movies of the '70s and '80s. That was such a fun time to enjoy adult media. And now it's all on the Internet. I wonder if there's even much fantasy with the adult media on the Internet now. Adult media, collecting it, has almost been a hobby of mine, and I'm sure others as well. I don't know what will happen to my collection once I've passed, but I kinda think any idiot family members will just poo-poo it and discard it. That's why I'd love it if there were some kind of museum or archive that would take it and make good use of it, an adult library even. Somebody who will recognize it and take care of it."
David writes, "Bella French is exactly what I like, a hot skinny blonde with big fake boobs willing to get completely naked and show her pussy along with her boobs and ass. She could easily become a star. I like Sensual Jane and to see her in hardcore is a real treat. Sabrina Linn is absolutely one of my favorite ladies. With all the piercings I like, she is so hot in a threesome that I intend to view frequently. As much as I love Karina Hart, I wish she would do straight-on spread shots showing her awesome pussy, big boobs and beautiful face all in the same pic. She also has an excellent ass and lovely legs as well."
R.N. writes. "Would you please do me a favor and convey my respects to Kelly Christiansen's husband for encouraging his gorgeous wife to pose and fuck for your cameras? Kelly is truly one of the greats. And I am sure that many readers will join with me in complimenting her and in also expressing their respects to Kelly's husband. In the write-ups that accompany your XXX layouts, I'd like to see a comment or two from the male partner describing the experience. Just a couple of brief opinions about how this girl compares to other SCORE Girls that he has fucked? Is she highly skilled orally? Did she appear to really enjoy the sucking and fucking as much as he did? How did her pussy taste? Such comments would help me to enjoy the girl even more intensely than I would without the comments. I think many readers would like to read a professional stud's opinion of the lady. I would enjoy reading their opinions about the experience."
Next Thursday, turkey and stuffing. Next Friday, Cat's ass gets a stuffing!
Posted by Dave on Nov 22, 2014 in Boob Bloopers, Boob Watch, Cummin Soon, Hardcore XXX, Tit Tricks
I'm showing you this photo because I like it. At first glance, it seems as if there are hands everywhere, a half-dozen hands, maybe more. Turns out, though, when you count, there are only four hands. Tits, however, are everywhere, which always seems to be the case when Cat Bangles is in the picture.
Ah, but I needed a more-concrete reason to show you this picture. And I have one.
Next Friday, November 28 at SCORELAND, Cat gets ass-fucked on-camera for the first time.
Yes, while the rest of the world is concerned with doorbuster sales and Black Friday, Cat Bangles is going to be having Anal Friday, and you're invited.
So, Thursday, eat your turkey and stuffing. And Friday, watch Cat's ass get a stuffing.
Has big naturals. Likes to play guitar and gag on cock. Is into gang bangs. Meet Harlow Nyx.
Posted by Dave on Nov 21, 2014 in Behind the Scenes, Boob Watch, bras, Hardcore XXX, New at Scoreland, newcomers
Harlow Nyx debuts at SCORELAND Sunday. I showed you a picture of her last week.
"Would you describe yourself as a little freaky?" I asked Harlow as she sat a few feet away from me with her tits and pussy out.
"I'm more than a little freaky," 22-year-old Harlow said as she gave her G-cup naturals a jiggle. "I'm a lot freaky."
She's been in a nine-person orgy. She likes to gag on cock. She likes being tied up. She's into girls. She's into guys. She's into both at the same time.
She plays the guitar.
She fucks on-camera.
But not Sunday. Soon. First, we're going to get to know her better. That's just the gentlemanly thing to do.
Feel free to jack.
Girls who love big tits and hot clits with Joana
Posted by Elliot James on Nov 20, 2014 in Uncategorized
The last time Joana and her girls Roxanne Diamond and Amorina got together for a "Big Tit Pussy Picnic" at SCORELAND, they were in a park where there was a good chance of accidental exposure or someone spying on them. This time, the three amigas hold an indoor lipstick-lesbian love-in.
Hot and busty female bodies massaging, tickling, fondling and hugging. Nipples rubbing nipples, clits and ass cheeks. Juicy pussies being spanked and fingered. Breast rubbing, kissing, licking, sucking and bumping. Body licking and kissing. Tongue-to-tongue and lip-locking. That's what's on the minds of boob-drunks Roxanne Diamond and Amorina under the guidance of their role model, Joana, one of SCORELAND's most popular naturals. See them have at each other now.
This Friday: Olivia Jackson's first XXX hardcore shoot at SCORELAND, aka Big-Boob Central
Posted by Elliot James on Nov 19, 2014 in Behind the Scenes, Confessions, Deep Inside Scoreland, Hardcore XXX, Interviews, Life With Big Tits, modeling jobs, New at Scoreland, newcomers
"I had a friend who was looking online and saw some busty women on SCORELAND, and she said, 'You would be perfect,' so I decided to tryout, and now I'm here!"
That's what Olivia "36 Triple-J" Jackson said about how she learned about SCORELAND.
Olivia's friend? She's now our friend, too.
A friend who wants her big-boobed friend to succeed and advises her to visit SCORELAND is a friend indeed
"My friend and I are very close. We've been best friends for years, and we look at different things. We watch pornos together to take notes, which is crazy, so she went online to look up some modeling things for herself, and she saw The SCORE Group and saw that you specialize in women with big breasts. She's a very small, petite woman, and when I stand next to her, I probably look obese. She's probably an A-cup. She can push a B sometimes."
Olivia debuted in September. Her magazine debut is in the February '15 Voluptuous, on-sale the first week of December.
The countdown to Olivia's hardcore event begins now!
Her name is Chloe. She's short and naturally stacked. She'd never gotten naked on-camera until she visited our studio. Any questions?

In the words of the great big-boob loving lawyer Johnnie Cockring, "If the bra don't fit, you must jack to the girl who's wearing it."

Slim & stacked SCORE WILF Shelby Gibson is back to share her big boobs and slender body
Posted by Elliot James on Nov 14, 2014 in Behind the Scenes, Interviews, Letters and comments, Life With Big Tits, modeling jobs, New at Scoreland, newcomers, print magazines, Readers' wives, Tits in Tight Tops
Shelby Gibson (March '15 SCORE) is a big-boobed wife, married to a SCORE reader, who made a move.
Red Vixen, another SCORE reader's wife, just debuted a few weeks ago. We love this trend and hope it continues.
Shelby's latest pictorial and video hits SCORELAND tomorrow.
Shelby took some time out of her busy schedule back home to answer a few questions about this layout. More inside.
SCORELAND: You were a Hooters Waitress. What was that like? For how long did you do that?
Shelby: It was a lot of fun. I loved all the attention from the men, especially the hot guys. The tight tops really accentuated my assets. I worked for them off and on for a few years when I was younger and single. I always seemed to get great tips and never had a problem getting hired.
SCORELAND: What is your favorite top in this set?
Shelby: The SCORE shirt because I earned it. Only SCORE Girls get to wear the SCORE shirt, so I'm really proud of it.
SCORELAND: What is the reaction you get from men when you are wearing a tight top? From women?
Shelby: I get a lot of double looks from both men and women. More jaw dropping, smiles and attentive from men, more sour and irritated from the women. I love the attention!

VIDEO: Four Clips from RIDESHARE Indie iPhone Movie
Lightyear Entertainment just announced the release of the revolutionary ensemble comedy film, Rideshare, shot entirely on the iPhone. Check out four clips from the film below!
On June 24, 2010, the filmmakers stood in line at an Apple store and were first in line to buy five of the new iPhone4's on the first day they went on sale. Production began that day. In 2011, the film debuted at various film festivals, winning awards at three of them: the Audience Choice Award - Ventura Film Festival; Best Performance in an Experimental Film, Narisa Suzuki - Los Angeles New Wave Film Festival; and the Gold Kahuna Award - Honolulu Film Awards. The final version of the film was completed in late 2012.
Rideshare focuses on three complete strangers with nothing in common, driving a car from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., largely on the legendary Route 66. As they share this epic, heartfelt adventure, they help each other with the life crises that led each of them to take the journey.
Why shoot a film on iPhones? Director Donovan Cook explains: "I get this question a lot and the answer is simple - because the story required it. It is built into the concept that the film is shot by the characters using iPhones that they have been given specifically for this purpose. My intention is that the audience quickly forget that they are watching the first full-length feature film shot with a phone because they get so wrapped up in the characters and their story."
In keeping with its new-tech creation, Rideshare will not be released on DVD. It debuts on Video on Demand, with some outlets such as Verizon and AT&T premiering it on February 10, 2013 and others (including Comcast, Time Warner, and Cox) on March 15, 2013. On April 2, 2013, it will debut on iTunes, Playstation, Xbox, Vudu and Amazon, through eOne Entertainment.
The film stars Narisa Suzuki (Ecstasy of Gold), Susan Isaacs (Plains, Trains and Automobiles, Parks and Recreation), and improv veteran Ryan Fox (Romantic Weirdos).

STEVE INSKEEP, host:
Well if James Brown is the godfather of soul, then it can be said that George Clinton is the crowned prince of funk. He's leader of Parliament Funkadelic, groups from the 1970s. Now, Mr. Clinton - that's George Clinton - hasn't had a hit in years, but as he likes to say, funk is the DNA for rap. Tunes like Atomic Dog had been sampled over and over, and his music has been recycled on records by Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and Snoop Dogg. As part of our series Musicians in Their Own Words George Clinton recently came to our studios and told us his job description.
Mr. GEORGE CLINTON (Musician): Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop - the art of dancing underwater and not getting wet. That would be my job.
(Soundbite of Flashlight)
PARLIAMENT (Musical Group): (Singing) Nah, I lay me down to sleep. Ooh, I just can't find a beat...
Mr. CLINTON: I like it makes it silly because the kids are the only ones who relate to it for a minute. And then you go to another age bracket, and they relate to it for minute, then it's too old for anybody.
(Soundbite of Flashlight)
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) Flashlight.
Mr. CLINTON: (Unintelligible) you know, everybody was under the influence of something, and I go in the studio and they're cutting tracks. And I'm paranoid and thinking, why did he cut without me? So I pop in, and they get the tape on backwards, trying to get some background sound effects. I bust right on in there and this tape and come on this shoop(ph) shoop(ph). It's all these effects; they ain't got nothing in there except for what key it's in. Shoop shoop, and I just add the word dog; that's all I had in my mind. And I just ad lib a lot of it, this is the story of a famous dog, the dog chases it's tail -I'm just talking (unintelligible) I'm here to see what key he is in.
(Soundbite of song "Atomic Dog")
Mr. CLINTON: (Singing) Yeah, this is a story of a famous dog, for the dog that chases its tail will be dizzy. These are clapping dogs, rhythmic dogs. Harmonic dogs, house dogs, street dogs. Dog of the world unite.
Mr. CLINTON: Why must I feel like that, why must I chase a cat?
(Soundbite of song "Atomic Dog")
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) Why must I feel like that, why must I chase the cat. Nothing but the dog in me.
Mr. CLINTON: (Unintelligible) so I ain't committed to no key, and thereby neglect (unintelligible). Something wrong with them? So I did, do the dog catcher, do the dog catcher and everybody started laughing.
(Soundbite of song, "Atomic Dog")
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) Do the dog catcher, dog catcher. Do the dogcatcher...
Mr. CLINTON: And then I get confident, but now the tape is backwards. Now, they have to put the music on it going that way. We put another set of drums on it, made it forward and backward at the same time. Bernie Worrell came in and played those melodies that made him legit, so now it seemed like we planned it.
(Soundbite of song, "Atomic Dog")
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) Bow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay. Bow-wow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay. Bow-wow-yippie-yo-yippie-yay. Just walkin' the dog. Atomic dog.
Mr. CLINTON: The track was atomic.
(Soundbite of song "Atomic Dog")
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) Futuristic bow-wow.
Mr. CLINTON: It's the futuristic track, I don't still hear no tracks like that one. We don't even try to do it again. Cat's have lived longer than people do. People get old and kids grow up, and it's over. Dr. Funkenstein will be around, making people think about they change time and never get old.
(Soundbite of song "Dr. Funkenstein")
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) Dr. Funkenstein here. Preoccupied and dedicated to the preservation of the motion of the hips. We love to funk you...
Mr. CLINTON: We love to funk you, Funkenstein. Your funk is the best.
(Soundbite of the song "Dr. Funkenstein")
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) And take my body...
Mr. CLINTON: Take my body, and give it the mind to funk with the rest.
(Soundbite of the song "Dr. Funkenstein")
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) To funk with the rest, kiss me on my ego.
Mr. CLINTON: In his wisdom he forenotioned the shortcomings of your condition. So, we the Clones were designed.
(Soundbite of the song "Dr. Funkenstein")
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) In his wisdom he forenotioned the shortcomings of your condition. So, we the clones were designed.
Mr. CLINTON: When I did (unintelligible) clones, nobody was talking about cloning then, you know, in '76. I had to go around looking for bookstores. The closest thing I could find was on Dr. Moreau. And then when they cloned that sheep, I felt like (unintelligible).
Today the epitome of cloning up is sampling. Just take a piece of funk that's got a real natural sound, and you can dupe it and loop it to stupid, you can clone a thousand records out of it. You can kind of dilute it ten times (unintelligible) equation. But the (unintelligible) part of it is being able to do and make arrangements. Public Enemy would take a little piece of those songs and actually make arrangements out of them.
(Soundbite of music)
PUBLIC ENEMY (Rap Group): (Singing) Oh. Yeah. baby here we go, here we go. To go with, to go to go with. Public enemy.
Mr. CLINTON: I'm laughing, I'm laughing, I'm laughing. You know, it's no longer one of our songs slowed down, and they would have Public Enemy in my voice from a disco (unintelligible) of Public Enemy Number l, with my voice speeded up a little bit. Then he goes to the bridge and it's the Ohio Players, and they made, like I say, arrangements. Rap is funk. I mean the funk is hip-hop. Kids usually hate their parents' music. They hate their older brother's or sister's music.
(Soundbite of song "Give Up the Funk")
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) Oh, we want the funk, give up the funk.
Mr. CLINTON: Kids right now come to our shows 14 years old, and they pride themselves on I know everything about the funk.
(Soundbite of song "Give Up the Funk")
PARLIAMENT: (Singing) Oh, we want the funk, give up the funk.
INSKEEP: George Clinton, aka Dr. Funkenstein. He's the leader of the Parliament Funkadelic, and the P. Funk Mob. You can hear George Clinton describe how his band came up with the groove for their song Flashlight by going to NPR.org.

Widow of fallen officer remembers her 'knight in shining armor'
Matt Gade, Deseret News
BENJAMIN — Cory and Nanette Wride were married just three months after meeting.
For Nanette, who had been married previously, meeting Cory was something out of a fairy tale.
"You know how all girls want to have that prince that comes and saves them? That knight in shining armor? Well, he was mine, literally," she said.
Cory Wride was Nanette's prince. And Nanette "was his queen and he treated her as such," said Kathy Wride, Cory's mother.
"He had such an eloquent way with words. He would leave me notes. I'd wake up, he'd be gone to work, and there would be a note on his pillow, and of course his side of the bed would be made because he was such a neat freak, but he would leave me notes.
"And they were wonderful, they were beautiful letters. I still have all of them," said Nanette, speaking with the Deseret News and KSL Sunday night, hours before a candlelight vigil was held to remember and celebrate the life of the fallen 44-year-old sheriff's sergeant.
"He would bring me flowers. And it wasn't like one or two, it was dozens every week. I was always on his mind. He would call me seven or eight times a day," recalled Nanette Wride.
Cory Wride was a quiet country boy and a gentleman who lived for his family, for helping others, and who preferred to lead by example rather than words. He was gunned down Thursday in his patrol car after stopping to help a motorist, an altercation that would lead to injuries to a second law enforcement officer and the death of the suspect.
Cory Wride's family gathered Sunday morning and evening to talk about this husband, father and son, a man whose legacy is defined by integrity.
"There were three things that were important to Cory," his father, Blake Wride, said Sunday. "The important things in life for Cory were his family, his faith and serving other people. That was what he was about. He did it well, but he did it quietly. There is no place that he'd rather be than home with his family. He cherished that, just to hang out and be there."
Said his mother: "He was very much a person who lived the kind of a life that any mom would be proud of. He was tender and kind and gentle. The most important thing in his life was his family, his wife and his children," she said.
An 18-year love affair
Cory, who loved the outdoors, lived with his wife in the farming and ranching community of Benjamin. At their house Sunday night, American flags lined the front of their property and little flags lined his walkway. A Utah County sheriff's deputy stood by out front in honor of their fallen brother. A deputy will remain there until his funeral on Wednesday.
Surrounded by family members, Nanette Wride clinched a tissue in one hand and tightly held onto Cory's badge in the other as she spoke. It was the badge he was wearing the day he was killed.
Cory Wride was a romantic, Nanette joyfully recalled. He proposed to her during a horse carriage ride around Temple Square in Salt Lake City and the courting never stopped.
"It was always like that for 18 years of marriage. It was a mad love affair. We were probably grossing people out because we were mushy all the time," she laughed. "You can't be married to better than that. Seriously. The most wonderful man in the world."
As Nanette Wride was picking up items around her house on the day of the shooting, she found a glass of dry Jello mix hidden behind a picture. It was one of Cory's favorite treats, to dip his finger in the Jello powder and suck on it as he was walking through the house. Like his badge, the glass is now a memory that she keeps close by.

That's awesome! definitely a much better use of space. The only challenge I could see would be stirring the wort, but you might not even need to with that design.
I got 3.5 gals down to 75F in 11 minutes when I brewed on saturday, and mine is just one big coil.
Hopaholic, that was the point of this design, there is absolutely no need to stir the wort that I can tell because there is never more than a few inches between the wort and the next closest coil.
I have a few more pics that I'll post real quick to show how much coverage this coil setup has.
What I thought was important was to have the outer edge of the wort chilled next to the walls of the kettle because the walls of the kettle are going to retain heat the most, as well as getting Max coverage of the wort via interwoven coils so there isn't, like I said earlier, more than a few inches between hot wort and another ice cold coil.
The cold break was amazing, I have never seen this amount of trub left on the bottom of the brewpot before. I can only imagine what a longer coil would do for me in say a 7.5gal pot like I plan to get so I can start making 6.5gal batches.
I remember seeing a side artice in BYO a few months back about the Frankenchiller:Brew Your Own: The How-To Homebrew Beer Magazine - Frankenchiller
Tests with Denver water in March (~40F out of the tap), the article claims just over 3 minutes to pitching temperature. Of course, it's probably got $150 worth of copper in it.
OT: Keggle owners, spray some cold water onto the lower skirt of the keg at the start of chilling. It holds a lot of heat.
My 25' IC goes from boil to pitch in about 20 minutes for a 5.5 gallon boil.
Wow, just wow, to me that design looks like overkill and a bit inefficient. I have no doubt that my little chiller could do 10 minutes or under if I were to have immersed the brewpot in a cold water bath instead of setting in on the counter. I felt the pot at intervals and only when the temperature of the wort in the center got down to about 120 did the sides of the pot become cool enough to touch.
Darn, looks like I am going to have to brew again.... for scientific purposes of course!
CBBaron, I like your take on this. And I do believe you are right about the reason for the commercial chillers to be a single coil. Mine was very simple though, just a paint can and about 15 minutes to wrap the coils, and 15 minutes to attach all the fittings and do a leak test. Can't wait for Thursday.
Pump that IC up and down in the wort and you will chill in record time.
I think I will try this whirlpool technique tomorrow on my day off. I am thinking of maybe doing a 3 gal batch of "The Dark Lord" just to see if I can clone it. I'm betting 5-6 minutes cooling time with this chiller and the pot immersed in a cold water bath.

U.S. Postal Service:
Financial Crisis Demands Aggressive Action
GAO-10-538T: Published: Mar 18, 2010. Publicly Released: Mar 18, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8509
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) financial condition and outlook deteriorated significantly during fiscal year 2009. USPS was not able to cut costs fast enough to offset declining mail volume and revenues resulting from the economic recession and changes in the use of mail, such as electronic bill payment. In July 2009, GAO added USPS's financial condition and outlook to its High-Risk List and reported that USPS urgently needed to restructure to improve its financial viability. Declines in mail volume and revenue, large financial losses, increasing debt, and financial obligations will continue to challenge USPS. This testimony provides (1) information on USPS's financial condition and forecast and (2) GAO's perspective on the need for USPS restructuring. In addition, questions and issues are included for Congress to consider regarding USPS's proposal to reduce delivery from 6 to 5 days. This testimony is based on GAO's past and ongoing work, including its work on postal reform issues, its report adding USPS's financial condition and outlook to its High-Risk List, and updated information on USPS's financial condition and outlook.
As mail volume declined by 35 billion pieces (about 17 percent) in fiscal years 2007 through 2009, USPS's financial viability deteriorated, with close to $12 billion in losses, and it does not expect total mail volume to return to its former level when the economy recovers. USPS forecasts that total mail volume will decline to 167 billion pieces in fiscal year 2010--the lowest level since fiscal year 1992, and 22 percent less than its fiscal year 2006 peak. It also projects a record loss of over $7 billion. Further, USPS has halted construction of most new facilities and expects to borrow $3 billion in fiscal year 2010, which would bring its total outstanding debt to $13.2 billion, close to its $15 billion statutory limit. Looking forward, USPS projects that by fiscal year 2020, total mail volume will further decline by 16 percent, to the lowest level since 1986. Absent additional actions to cut costs and increase revenues, USPS expects financial losses will escalate over the next decade. Action is urgently needed in multiple areas by USPS and Congress to address USPS's pressing challenges so that it can achieve financial viability, including restructuring USPS operations, networks, and workforce to reflect changes in mail volume, revenue, and use of mail. The longer it takes for USPS and Congress to address USPS's challenges, the more difficult they will be to overcome. When GAO placed USPS's financial condition and outlook on its High-Risk List, it identified the following key actions USPS and/or Congress could take: reduce employee compensation and benefits; consolidate retail and processing networks; consolidate administrative field structure; generate revenue through new or enhanced products; change funding requirements for retiree health benefits; and realign delivery services. GAO will analyze USPS's proposal to reduce delivery from 6 to 5 days when it becomes available. Included in this testimony are questions and issues for Congress to consider regarding delivery changes. GAO will also be issuing its report later this spring that provides its perspective on USPS's financial crisis, as well as additional options for restructuring.

I love RP people. They are, overall, the most kindest, compassionate, caring, and honest folks I have ever met! I wish I got involved earlier than I did. I would have had plenty of friends to share in the joys and sorrows of daily living. RP folks are also extremely intelligent, although we vary on our abilities to articulate information. On average, (like military donations), we are more intelligent than all other candidates combined!!! Three times as intelligent, in fact! =)

Oklahoma City fans already dislike Patrick Beverly for injuring Russell Westbrook during last spring's first round playoff series. Beverly continued to dial up the intensity in the Rockets' eventual loss to the Thunder on Tuesday night:
For the record, I'm a big fan of the edge Beverly brings to the Rockets. It's a team of two superstars (Harden and Howard) with a variety of offensive-oriented pieces (Parsons, Lin, Jones). Beverly brings a completely different dimension to this team that nobody else can replicate.

I don't buy anything from dick's because their prices are rediculous. Even when it's "on sale" I can find it cheaper somewhere else.
If the pain is lacking so is the discipline...
"the only 911 call I need is chambering a round" - Mr. Muller, MO car dealer
I don't buy any firearms there but I do shop for other stuff.
Our has a crappy gun selection if it is between $300 and $1k they don't have it. They had some AR's they had my AR-10 in 260 by remmy but the price was $300 MORE than Gander Mnt. WOW just WOW..... I think they had it priced at $1998 "ON SALE" Regular price was $2199.
Hey, it is DICK's.
The last gun I bought was at a small private shop,the owner gave his employee the papers and he whipped out a cellphone and called in and about 3 minutes later said,ok,it's a goahead.You pay a little more like 20 bucks at a shop like that but it's worth it.I think Dick's should stick to football and soccer and whatnot.

Sucks to hear about your trouble. I was in Dick's last night buying some walkie talkies. Always had good luck there. I also was invited to Friends and Family night. You get the employee discount and an extra 10% off.
I am going to buy another tree stand.
i have bought some .223 ammo at Dick's with no problem....never tried to buy a gun there
It's like paradise on Earth, enriched with the ever so sweet nectar of
elk urine.
When you're out there by yourself, you become who you really are.
As a part-time gun dealer I can tell you that many of the delayed forms Never get a call back, sometimes I get a call 4-8 weeks later & the form expires after 30 days! Obviously Dick's has sold out to the Devil (our Gov't)and are now more concerned with making up their own new rules than they are with simply following the ATF's rules...
I always buy from my local shop. It might be a few extra bucks firearms or ammo or supplies, but you create friendships and lasting knowledge. You cant get that from a garbage big chain store. They usually have no idea what's going on, and the service is generally sub par.
Buy a gun from Dick's, Wal-Mart, Dunham's, Gander Mountain, Cabela's or any major retailer, and you get walked to the front door with an "associate" carrying it out for you. I have never had them carry it to the vehicle, just outside the closest door.
Keep in mind that they have to adhere to "Corporate Policies" that are dictated by lawers for the insurance companies. No biggie.
Should anyone press a real manager (not a Department Mgr level person) about the 3 day fed thingy, you will get the firearm. Stupid state laws notwithstanding.
To the OP, I am sure Dick's will survive without your business.
From C3Shooter:
Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!

From New York Times bestselling author Mariah Stewart comes a novel of sexy romantic suspense for fans of Nora Roberts, Catherine Coulter, and Karen Robards.
Two children who mysteriously disappeared twenty-one years ago are the last thing on Lorna Temple�s mind when she returns to her Pennsylvania hometown to sell the old family property in the wake of her parents� passing. But instead of memories, the fields where Lorna grew up yield something utterly chilling.
All those years ago, when nine-year-old Melinda Eagan vanished on her birthday, her foulmouthed older brother, Jason, quickly became the lone suspect. Yet when he went missing, too, the case turned cold. But Jason, it seems, never got far: His bones have been moldering on the Temples� land for two decades. As far as the local police are concerned, the book is closed on Melinda�s murder�and Jason�s death is justice served. But Lorna refuses to let the dead rest uneasily. She turns to private eye T. J. Dawson to dig up the dirt of the past and see what lies beneath. Only there� s someone out there who hasn�t forgotten�and who won�t be the least bit forgiving about being exposed as a killer.
In matters of crime, there are many versions of the truth.
Mariah Stewart is the bestselling author of numerous novels and several novellas. A RITA finalist for romantic suspense, she is the recipient of the Award of Excellence for contemporary romance, a RIO (Reviewers International Organization) Award honoring excellence in women�s fiction, and a Reviewers� Choice Award from Romantic Times magazine. A three-time recipient of the Golden Leaf Award and a Lifetime Achievement Award winner from the New Jersey Romance Writers, she has been inducted into their Hall of Fame. A native of Hightstown, New Jersey, she lives with her husband, two daughters, and two rambunctious golden retrievers amid the rolling hills of Chester County, Pennsylvania. She is a member of the Valley Forge Romance Writers, the New Jersey Romance Writers, and the Romance Writers of America.

App'd with BofA online (after being pre-approved on the online site), about July 8th. Said "Congratulations, you have been approved for a $4,000 CL."
Haven't heard anything yet - and no inquiries are showing.
Is this normal?
What did the approval message say about time till you receive card?
I'd probably call if you don't hear/see anything in the next couple days. BoA told me once when I PC'd my Plat Plus Visa to Reward Visa that it could take up to 3 weeks to get new card....but I had it in a week or so.

As far as I know boa is fast with new accounts you might get your card in 5 to 7 days ....PCs are completely the opposite they are very slow it takes weeks and weeks in my case 4 weeks and till now no card yet I called'em yesterday was told it was mailed Friday ...i did a PC to their AMEX acc cash rewards..
BOA bites ! pay attention to how you treat their cards !
sorry dudes - what's a pc? don't see it in the abbreviations. guess I'm not cool . I know I'll be embarrassed when you tell me - like I should have figured it out.......but the brain cell is not clickin'
PC = Product Change
sorry I just noticed that you applied on the 8th !!!! I would call them to make sure usually when u apply with boa you get a hard inq instantly on experian,That's strange !

Update: It's all good - just darn s-l-o-w.
App'd on 7/8. Called in today and found it was approved on 7/9, but the card may take up to 30 days to arrive. I'd love that guy to arrive sometime this week - so fingers are crossed. I had assumed there was no inquiry because DH had not received a ScoreWatch Alert. When I pulled myFico EQ report, the inquiry does show up as FIA CSNA on 7/9/09. That's the first time I have not received a ScoreWatch Alert when I was expecting one - guess nothing's 100%. Thanks concorduser, txjohn & boamacy (name!!!) for keeping me patient.
That's the last of the new cards - now we can sit back, drink lemonade, let them age, and in a few cases check in for CLI's as the months roll along. DH has gone from $500 to $38,400 and I have gone from $500 to $4,100 CL's in the last month or so. (DH has a very nice 776 EQ score). Very nice for newbie rebuilders - we're less than six months after Ch13 discharge - thanks you guys rock!

Below readers will be capable to locate out what helps make this shoe so remarkable. This is a wonderful starting position for folks who are involved in purchasing this shoe and would like to understand much more.
When I very first got the Nike Free of charge Hyper TR Women's Education shoe, my very first feelings were that these sneakers appear fairly funky and stunning. Their general style, design and color assortment is top-notch. They appeared truly good with what ever I wore them with I can say I was enormously impressed.
Right after trying them on, I was blown absent as to how cozy the shoes had been. A good deal of people on-line said that they ended up impressed with the support and ease and comfort the shoe offered. I can attest to what the net had to say, these sneakers ended up certainly the real offer. My feet felt as if I was walking barefoot, although floating on air. I guess this is what the Nike Free sequence is all about. The shoes have been also light-weight, so I felt as if I had absolutely nothing on.
Immediately after a pair of times of just going for walks in them, I decided to don them to my gymnasium dance aerobics course. Putting on them, there was no soreness or something like that. The Nike Free Hyper TR was ready to take care of all the lateral moves I did with no issues. My toes ended up supported really effectively and the convenience stage was by means of the roof.
I have determined to use these sneakers when I walk simply because they are so lightweight and comfortable. Walking 5 miles will be no difficulty, as my toes will be cozy and properly protected.
My last thoughts on the Nike Cost-free Hyper TR are they are actually wonderful sneakers. These sneakers can not be in comparison to any other and that is why they stand out so considerably. They have every little thing that a female will require whether or not they are planning to the gymnasium, training or working. They are lightweight, cozy, supportive and very versatile, plus they also have a great design and style. This is a shoe that a girl really should go out and obtain immediately. It is that very good!
Girls have so many choices when it comes to getting footwear for the gymnasium, education or general wear. All sneaker organizations state that their shoes will be able to give this and that. One particular business which has sent consistently is Nike. They have a extensive variety of sneakers made especially with girls in brain. These footwear will be ready to provide all the distinct attributes that they need to have. We wrote this write-up to seem at a single sneaker in particular, the Nike Free of charge Hyper TR. You will have access to a short overview of the shoe furthermore a lot more.
Why the Nike Free Hyper TR
If you are a female who is lively and participates in diverse physical pursuits, then it is quite crucial that you have the proper shoe. The Nike Free Hyper Coaching Shoe is the ideal footwear to get the job carried out. nike free tilbud, nike free sko, nike free run billig

NYIT is featured in an article in the July 21, 2008, issue of Crain's New York Business, titled, "More Colleges Go the Distance," which focuses on the acceleration of online education. "Led by such trendsetters as Pace, the New School, and New York Institute of Technology, local colleges and universities are embracing the Internet as a potent educational medium."
NYIT President Edward Guiliano discussed the dynamics of online education: "Online courses have great potential. They're more scalable and can be more economical than brick-and-mortar classes." In just two years enrollment in NYIT's full online program grew 14%, and enrollment in partly online courses grew 26%. Across the United States, online course enrollment has grown about 10% per year, while the overall student population has grown only 1.5% annually.

Disclosed is a direct-drive type electro-hydraulic servo valve in which dynamic characteristics of a spool are simulated by an electronic circuit or a computor to derive a signal representative of the spool velocity and the derived signal is negatively fed back to an input of a power amplifier.
1. A direct drive electro-hydraulic servo valve comprising a valve body accommodating a spool, a coil mechanically connected to the spool and electrically connected to a servo amplifier and a permanent magnet mounted on the valve body, said spool being directly driven by energization of the coil by the amplifier, the valve also including simulating means located outside of the valve body for simulating characteristics of the spool connected to the amplifier, said simulating means being arranged to functionally relate a signal representative of spool position with a signal representative of current input to the coil to derive a signal representative of spool velocity which is thereby generated entirely within said simulating device and is then negatively fed back to the amplifier.
2. A servo valve according to claim 1, wherein said simulating means simulate signals of acceleration, velocity, and displacement which represent the actual movement of the spool.
3. A servo valve according to claim 1, wherein said simulating means is an electronic circuit.
4. A servo valve according to claim 1, wherein the simulating means is an appropriately programmed computer.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 601,593, filed Apr. 18, 1984, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a direct-drive type electro-hydraulic servo valve of the type in which a spool is directly driven by a moving coil mounted on the spool and a stationary permanent magnet on the valve body.
Referring first to FIG. 1, a prior art direct-drive type electro-hydraulic servo valve will be described.
A sleeve 2 is fitted into a valve body 1 and a spool 3 is slidably fitted into the sleeve 2. A bobbin 4 upon which a coil 5 is mounted is securely attached to one end of the spool 3. A permanent magnet 6 is mounted on the valve body 1 so that a magnetic circuit is established between the coil 5 and the permanent magnet 6. When the coil 5 is energized, the spool 3 is caused to slide so that a desired intercommunication among oil passages 7, 8 and 9 within the valve body 1 can be established.
A displacement sensor 10 for sensing or detecting the position of the spool 3 is disposed at the other end of the spool 3 so as to determine the position of the spool 3 with respect to the sleeve 2. The output signal from the displacement sensor 10 is negatively fed back to the input of a power amplifier and is compared with a set point (not shown), thereby providing a feedback control system for stabilizing the spool 3.
Next the displacement of the spool is investigated. When the coil 5 is energized, the magnetic field is generated which interacts with the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 6. As a result, in response to the amperage and direction of the current, the spool 3 is displaced. Because of the above-described negative feedback from the displacement sensor 10, the spool 3 is stopped at a predetermined position and a liquid in quantity in proportion to the set point (not shown) can be supplied to a desired place.
However, when the spool 3 is driven or displaced in the manner described above, the spool 3 is oscillated as shown in FIG. 2a. Since the spool 3 is immersed entirely into a working oil filled within the sleeve 2, no damping action or brake is exerted to the spool 3 which is being displaced. Oscillation or vibration of the spool 3 causes oscillation or vibration of an actuator which is driven by the servo valve. Thus there exists a serious control problem.
There has been devised and demonstrated a method for decreasing response of a servo valve in order to prevent oscillation or vibration of the spool 3 (See FIG. 2b), but the high responsiveness of direct-drive type electro-hydraulic servo valves is thereby degraded.
Therefore a velocity sensor 11 is mounted on the spool 3 at the side of the bobbin 4 so as to sense or detect the velocity of the spool 3. The output of the velocity sensor 11 is negatively fed back to the power amplifier so that the spool 3 is damped.
Referring next to FIG. 3, the damping control will be described in detail.
R is a set point (opening or closing degree instruction) for the displacement of the spool 3 and is derived as an instruction from a servo-valve control system. KA is an electrical gain which is so controlled as to determine the response of the servo valve KX is an electrical gain of the displacement sensor 10 and remains unchanged once set. KB is a coefficient of a counter electromotive force produced when the coil 5 moves within the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 6. KF is a coefficient of a force exerted on the coil 5 when a current i is produced. KQ is a coefficient of the output flow rate Q which is dependent upon specfications of the servo valve. T is a time constant of the coil 5; m, the mass of the spool 3; b, a coefficient of the viscous damping exerted on the spool 3; F, the driving force for displacing the spool 3; v, the velocity of the spool 3; and s, a Laplace operator.
The damping force exerted on the spool 3 is dependent upon the viscous damping coefficient b and the coefficient of the counter electromotive force KB ; but such damping force is in general insufficient. Therefore in response to the velocity v detected by the velocity sensor 11, the damping force is multiplied with a suitable gain KV and negatively fed back.
Assume that the response of the coil 5 is fast enough (that is, the time constant T is almost zero), the loop gain from a signal V to a signal F becomes the product KV. KF. It is apparent therefore that it has the same dimension as the viscous damping coefficient b. That is, by effectng the negative feedback of v and by controlling suitably the value of KV the damping force can be applied to the spool 3. In practical usage, the effectiveness of the velocity feedback is influenced by the time constant T of the coil, but only slightly.
However, in the servo valve of the type described above, the velocity sensor 11 which is needed to control the damping is incorporated in a very limited space in the servo valve which is a precision device. As a result, the assembly is difficult, the cost is increased and the number of component parts of the velocity sensor is also increased. Therefore reliability is degraded. In addition, there arises a problem that if the velocity sensor is damaged, the whole servo valve must be replaced with a new one.
The present invention was made to overcome the above and other problems encountered in the prior art and has as its object to provide a direct-drive type electro-hydraulic servo valve in which damping can be exerted on a servo valve without providing a velocity sensor in the main body of the servo valve.
The above and other objects, effects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, same reference numerals being used to designate similar parts throughout the figures.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of a conventional servo valve;
FIGS. 2a and 2b show the movements of a spool when damping is not sufficient;
FIG. 3 is a block diagram when damping control is effected by means of a velocity detector;
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a preferred embodiment of a servo valve in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a block diagram thereof used to explain the underlying principle of the present invention; and
FIG. 6 is a block diagram thereof, and
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an alternative embodiment.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a preferred embodiment of a direct-drive type electro-hydraulic servo valve in accordance with the present invention. Since the mechanical construction of the servo valve in accordance with the present invention is substantially similar to that of the conventional servo valve as shown in FIG. 1, no detailed parts are shown.
In FIG. 4, PT designates a tank port; PS ; a supply pressure port; and PA and PB, load ports.
No velocity sensor is incorporated in the servo valve shown in FIG. 4 and the velocity of the spool 3 is electrically detected.
Referring next to FIGS. 5 and 6, the detection of the velocity of the spool will be described.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of the servo valve in accordance with the present invention in which reference numeral 12 designates a servo amplifier; 13, a servo-valve-related mechanical system (spool characteristics); and 14, a spool velocity calculator (a model of the spool characteristics).
The spool velocity calculator 14 receives the input current i to coil 5 of the servo valve and the displacement x of the spool 3. In response to these data, the estimated velocity v of the spool 3 is calculated. The estimated velocity signal v is negatively fed back to the servo amplifier 12 so that as described with reference to FIG. 3, the damping of the spool 3 can be effected.
The mode of operation will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 6.
In FIG. 6, K represents KF /m of the servo valve; k1 and k2 ; v, an estimated velocity signal representative of an estimated velocity of the spool 3; a, a signal representative of an estimated acceleration of the spool 3; and x, a signal representative of an estimated displacement of the spool 3. In FIG. 6, the block indicated by the two-dot chain lines represents the velocity calculator (a model of the spool characteristics).
The current i flowing into the coil 3 is multiplied by the coefficient K 15 so that the driving force exerted on the spool 3 and then the estimated acceleration signal a are obtained. The estimated acceleration signal a is sequentially integrated by integrators 16 and 17 so that the estimated velocity signal v and the estimated displacement signal x are obtained.
The estimated displacement signal x is compared with the actual displacement x of the spool 3 and the difference is multiplied by the gains k1 and k2 and the products thus obtained are fed back to v and a. As a result, the estimated acceleration signal a and the estimated velocity signal v are simultaneously adjusted such that the difference between the actual displacement x and the estimated displacement signal x of the spool 3 becomes zero. Therefore the correct estimated velocity signal v of the spool 3 can be always obtained.
As described above, according to the present invention, no velocity detector is incorporated into a limited narrow space in a servo motor, but the actual spool velocity can be always obtained from time to time by a simple circuit disposed outside of a servo valve body.
So far the electronic circuit has been described, but it is to be understood that the present invention may use software 15 of a computer (FIG. 7). Furthermore, the preferred embodiment has been described as having the power amplifier of controlling voltage type, but it is to be understood that a current-control type amplifier in which the current i is negatively fed back in a minor loop can be used. In the latter case, the influences of the time constant T of the coil and the transmission voltage coefficient KB are eliminated so that the damping efficiency is further improved.
As described above, according to the present invention, no velocity detector is incorporated in a servo valve, but the servo valve can be damped. As a result, the fabrication cost can be reduced while reliability can be remarkably improved. Furthermore the present invention can provide a servo valve which has fast and stable response characteristics.
