Fred, Wilma and Family do Disney - Day 9
Fred, Wilma and Family do Disney Day 9 All Around the World
Saturday 19th April
Today we were going back to Epcot. I found being in the same room as Daniel quite difficult as I was the first one up (as usual), but there was nowhere I could go to read my book. It was too dark out on the balcony and the door made a really loud noise when you opened it I didnt want to disturb the girls sleeping peacefully so I ended up in the bathroom, sat on a pillow. Not great! I certainly missed the lobby at the Wilderness Lodge villas.
Eventually, everyone else surfaced and we discussed our options for the day. Chuck wasnt feeling too good so he and Reeny decided they would have a slow start and a wander around the resort and catch a bus to Epcot later on, leaving me, Gary and the kids to our own devices. It was quite nice to have a bit of freedom, to be honest, so I was quite relieved.
We were ready by 8:30 and set off to catch the bus. This is where we discovered that the Old Key West buses were not that reliable. Despite being at the bus stop early, it was almost 9 before an Epcot bus showed up so we didnt arrive at the park until after opening.
I joined the line to get a stroller for Daniel while Gary went off to get Fast Passes for Test Track. That done, we decided to check out the wait time for Mission:Space even at 9:30, it was almost 40 minutes so we decided against it and checked out some of the Flower and Garden Festival exhibits.
Daniel played in the kids play area while the girls and I went into Minnies Butterfly Garden. It wasnt as big as I thought it would be but there were lots of beautiful (and massive) butterflies. There was one girl who had one land on her head and she was a bit freaked out by it it was hilarious.
After that, it was time to ride Test Track. I wasnt sure what Daniel would make of it but he agreed to give it a try. As usual, it broke down just after wed got on and we were stuck at the beginning for about 10 minutes. Eventually, we got moving again. Daniel wasnt really sure whether he liked it or not but I explained that, next time he rode it, he would know what to expect and would like it more. By the end of the day, though, he was asking to go on again.
We took a slow stroll through to World Showcase and wandered around for a while. First stop was Mexico, where we went on the new Gran Fiesta tour (well, not that new but we hadnt been on it since it changed). We all really liked this.
Next, it was on to Maelstrom but there was a 40 minute wait so we decided not to bother.
At 11:30 we decided to stop for an early lunch and try Nine Dragons. As it was originally due to be closed for refurbishment during our visit, I figured we might be lucky getting a walk-up and we were. We were seated straight away, at a nice table by the window. The kids love Chinese food and were in their element. They really enjoyed trying to use the chopsticks.
Daniel ordered the kids sweet and sour chicken boat, with pot stickers to start, and red bean ice-cream for dessert. He didnt like the pot stickers much but ate everything else. Gary had the Canton Pepper Beef and the girls and I shared an order of Sweet and Sour pork and an order of Honey Sesame Chicken. The food was tasty enough but nothing outstanding.
With the exception of Daniel, none of us had dessert. I cant find my receipt for this meal but I do know that we got a discount for being DVC members, despite the server telling us there were no discounts at lunch (personally, I always though the discount was only for lunch but there you go). All in all, it was a nice meal but I wouldnt rush back there.
After lunch, we continued our clockwise stroll around World Showcase, taking pictures along the way. It was really nice to just be able to go at our own pace and not have to worry about anyone else. That sounds really bad, I know, but I was definitely finding the in-laws a bit wearing.
We stopped in Italy for some gelato, which was absolutely delicious. The nice thing about it was that it didnt melt as quick as normal ice-cream so nobody got messy!
Soon, it was almost 2 oclock and time to head off to the Rose and Crown for our DIS meet. On the way round, I mentioned to Gary that his Mum and Charles had probably just arrived at Epcot and gone straight to the UK for lunch. Lo and behold, when we got to the Rose and Crown, who did we spot sitting on a bunch eating fish and chips. Theyre so predictable!!! I left Gary and the kids outside with Chuck and Reeny while I went in to see if anyone else had arrived. I wasnt sure what David and Ray looked like but, obviously, Id already met Terri and Aaron. I was standing in the middle of the Rose and Crown when a guy came over to me and asked if I was Joh. He introduced himself as David and his Dad came over, then we were joined by Terri. Her and Aaron had a table over the other side so I went to get Gary and we got some drinks and joined them. The kids decided they would go for a walk while we were chatting. We spent some time discussing what we had done so far and Terri was telling me about their slightly disastrous cruise. David mentioned that he and Ray had decided to take the DVC tour you all know how that turned out anyway
After a while, the kids turned up and it was obvious theyd had enough of the heat it was a really, really hot day so we said our goodbyes and decided wed call it a day and head back to Old Key West. On the way, we took some pictures with the fantastic Peter Pan topiaries.
Daniel really wanted to go on Soarin again but none of us wanted to wait over an hour so we didnt bother. We dropped off the stroller and walked to the bus stop where (yet again) we waited almost 30 minutes for a bus. Eventually, we were back in the room and we decided we would chill out for a while. We sat out on the balcony for a bit but the people on the next-door balcony were smoking and it was really starting to bug me so we went back inside.
Chuck and Reeny arrived back soon after and we discussed what to do for the evening. Chuck was still feeling poorly so went for a lie down and we decided we would go to Downtown Disney for dinner. Reeny said she would stay with Chuck so we got showered and changed and walked up to Hospitality House to catch the boat. While the buses at Old Key West were really tedious, we found the boat to Downtown Disney to be fantastic. It was so relaxing, floating along, and we love to spend time at Downtown Disney so it was ideal for us and, for that and the size of the rooms, I definitely think we would return to Old Key West in the future. To be honest, it was a resort that grew on us Wilderness Lodge was love at first sight whereas Old Key West was more of a slow-building friendship.
The girls decided to wander off and look round the shops so Gary, Daniel and I headed for Once Upon a Toy, after arranging to meet the girls at Wolfgang Puck Express a bit later.
We bought a few things (some Christmas pressies so I cant really mention here) and then went off to Goofys Candy Company to get some sweets. We met up with the girls and went into Wolfgang Puck to order dinner. Rea chose the kids chicken fingers and a side order of mac and cheese. Sian and I both had chicken fingers and Daniel chose pizza (no sauce). Gary had his usual chinois chicken salad. He also had a crème brulee for dessert. The food was great Wolfgang Puck Express is a great option for a fairly cheap counter service meal.
After wed eaten, we walked around a bit more and then caught the bus back to the resort. As we were approaching Hospitality House, we could see Illuminations in the distance. We walked back to the villa, where Chuck was up and about and feeling much better. After watching TV for a bit, it was off to bed for an early night.

Brilliant report Joh. Agree with the OKW buses, they really were slow this time. Don't think that we actually arrived on time for a restaurant booking the whole of the holiday. Ah, apart from Narcoossees when we left a whole 2 hours before the booking, just to make sure we arrived on time.
Looking forward to reading Day 10!

Actor Madhu here on Thursday declared his willingness to accept the Padma Shri award consequent to the stand of the State government on this issue which was communicated to him by Health Minister V.S. Sivakumar.
At the actor's residence on Thursday morning Mr. Sivakumar said it was the wish of all Ministers that Mr. Madhu accepts the Padma Shri. The veteran actor should have received such an award a long time ago.
Mr. Sivakumar also assured the actor that the government would enquire into the circumstances under which its recommendation for a Padma Bhushan for him was downgraded by the Centre to a Padma Shri.
The actor later told presspersons that if the Centre had directly conferred a Padma Shri on him, he would have accepted it wholeheartedly. However, the Centre had no right and was not qualified to downgrade a State government recommendation, he added.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A person familiar with the inquiry says the Federal Bureau of Investigation is examining whether Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's former chief of staff and a firm he helped found are trading on ties to Brownback to benefit themselves and others.
The person said the FBI has been looking for several months into the activities of Brownback confidante David Kensinger and Parallel Strategies, formed last year. The person said the FBI had interviewed multiple people.
The person is not in law enforcement and insisted on anonymity because the person is not authorized to speak publicly about the FBI's inquiry. The FBI declined comment.
The investigation was first reported by The Topeka Capital-Journal.
Kensinger declined comment Monday. Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley said the administration has had no indication of an inquiry.

Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci
House History This classic French brand was founded in 1932 by Italian-born Maria ("Nina") Ricci and her son, Robert, who dazzled Parisian fashion with their romantic confections. Airy layering and pure femininity were design signatures.
Design Alums Nathalie Gervais and most recently Lars Nilsson.
New Designer Fashion-world darling Olivier Theyskens first shot to fame as a design-school dropout who happened to dress Madonna in Gothic splendor for the Academy Awards in 1998. He catapulted to fame at Rochas, only to find himself jobless after that label shut down. The soft-spoken 30-year-old Belgian then made a beeline for Nina Ricci.
Updated Look The floating fragile gowns were light as air and feminine to the core, but the collection cut an edge with its pale grays and city-slicked additions like stovepipe trousers and blouson jackets.
In His Words "It's a girly world made of contrasts: extreme lightness and urbanism."
His Goal To build "a cool-girl paradise." Reese Witherspoon has already signed on as team captain.
Our Verdict The rough-edged whirling seams in the dresses, which mimicked the iconic curves of the L'Air du Temps fragrance bottle, was a genius touch, as was the models' hair, which was laced with ethereal marabou feathers.
What to Buy An oversize, twisted sweater with voluminous sleeves is a great take on a fall essential.
Peter Lindbergh

We have a longer post for you tonight, including some notes and quotes along with the unedited version of our game story. The reason is to give you a headstart on your Sunday morning. Read on now and save some time in the morning.
• We'll start with the game story …
PULLMAN – The score was reminiscent of a bygone era of Washington State University basketball.
You know, oh so long ago when the Bennetts, Dick and Tony, were the coaches.
But the factors leading to WSU's 65-60 Pacific-10 Conference victory – Ken Bone's first in Pullman – over Oregon State on Saturday were oh so different.
The Cougars surprised the 5,967 at Friel Court – including OSU's coach – by playing some 30 minutes of zone defense, eschewing their Pack man-to-man to pack it in and force the Beavers to beat them from the outside.
They couldn't.
"We shot too many 3s," said Oregon State coach Craig Robinson of his team's 7-of-24 performance. "We're not that good of a 3-point shooting team."
"Coach said coming in they only had one shooter, and that was Haynes," said WSU wing Marcus Capers, who set a career high with 10 rebounds while scoring the same number of points. "When you only have one shooter, that makes it easier to play a zone.
"Coach said, 'let's give it a look,' and it worked out for us."
The shooter Capers was talking about, guard Calvin Haynes, helped OSU rally from a 10-point early second half deficit, scoring 17 points – 12 after halftime – including 3 of 7 on 3-pointers.
Haynes also played a part in a defensive effort focused on stopping WSU's Klay Thompson, averaging 25.6 points a game. That effort, along with foul trouble, limited the nation's second-leading scorer to a season-low seven points before he fouled out with 4:49 left.
And Haynes played a key role in the game's key play.
The Beavers, who shot 25.9 percent in the first half, including 22.7 (5 of 22) with WSU in its 2-3 zone the last 15 minutes, 34 seconds of the period, rallied to tie the game at 58 on two Roeland Schaftenaar free throws with 3:30 left.
After DeAngelo Casto and Xavier Thames, playing for Thompson, sandwiched baskets around a Schaftenaar turnover, Haynes scored on floater in the key to cut the lead to 62-60.
And when Nik Koprivica succumbed to OSU's pressure and turned the ball over with 43 seconds left, the Beavers (6-7 overall, 0-2 in the conference) turned to Haynes again.
The junior came off a Schaftenaar screen, turned the corner on Casto and went to the hole. But Reggie Moore, WSU's freshman point guard, slid over and got in Haynes' way.
A whistle. A charge. The Cougars (11-3, 1-1) had the ball back with 17 seconds left. They hit 3 of 4 free throws in that span, Haynes missed a contested 3-pointer in between, and WSU had a split of the opening conference weekend.
"The ref said I got there, so I got there," said a smiling Moore of the key defensive play.
"I thought it was a bad call," said Haynes, who definitely wasn't smiling. "I didn't think he was set, I thought he was sliding over. I thought for sure I was going to the free-throw line for that one."
Asked about the call, Robinson chose his words carefully.
"I continually try to keep a very positive attitude about the officiating in this league, so I'm going to do that – and then I'll just say 'except for today' and that's all I'll say," Robinson said.
Robinson expressed admiration for OSU's play, pointing out a glaring free-throw discrepancy.
"For them to make 15 of 15 foul shots, that's great, especially when they're down 14 foul shots, and both teams are playing a zone," Robinson added.
Actually, WSU's 29 free throws didn't help as much as they should have. Consider the Cougars made just 16, including 2 of 7 by Moore, who came in shooting 83.8 percent from the line.
Despite that, Moore finished with a game-high 19 points, teaming with players like Thames (eight points) and James Watson (seven) to take up some of the slack from Thompson playing just 29 minutes and hitting only 2 of 6 shots.
"Usually I make my free throws in practice and games," Moore said. "I don't know, I was shooting like Shaq today."
Bone thought some of the Cougars' shooting like Shaquille O'Neal came from tired legs stemming from Thursday's double-overtime defeat.
"Our legs, we just didn't look very fresh," he said.
Those legs were also part of the reasoning behind the Cougars' zone.
"We really wanted to continue to keep our best players on the floor," Bone said. "A little slower pace allowed us to do that."
"Oh yeah, absolutely (a shock)," Robinson said of the Cougars imitating his team and playing zone until switching back to man-to-man with 5:38 left in the game. "You've got a guy who's saying he wants to keep the games in the 80s and this was barely in the 60s.
"But there are no moral victories, you can't just say because they played zone all game that's better, because we didn't win. So what you have to look at, he executed some different game plan better than we did."
• And now onto some more notes. … The Cougars 2-3 zone not only befuddled Oregon State for much of the game (the Beavers were starting to figure out how to attack late in the second half, so WSU switched back to man) but it also played a role in Thompson's foul trouble. The thin 6-foot-6 wing played down low on the right side of the zone, called on to rebound against OSU's more physical players. Two of Thompson's fouls came on rebounds and another when he was isolated against a bigger OSU player on the post. … WSU attacked Oregon State's 1-3-1 half-court trap well enough that the Beavers retreated into their 2-3 for a majority of the second half. The Cougars also got their fastbreak going better sprinting out of the zone, according to Bone. … Talk about déjà vu. With 3:53 left, Josh Tarver drove the lane. Nik Koprivica, who finished with six points, four rebounds and three assists, tried to take a charge, got their late and was called for a block. While he and Tarver were on the ground, Casto, who was also involved in the contact, fell over them, hitting Tarver on the head. When Tarver arose, he made contact with Watson (corrected from earlier), earning himself a technical. But the officials needed to huddle, watch the monitor and make sure no one else deserved punishment or was involved. Through it all, there was a murmur of discontent in Beasley, as thoughts must have harkened back to Thursday night's game-changing technical. Finally, the officials made a decision and motioned the coaches to the table. "I didn't want to go, I wanted one of our assistants to go," Bone said. "Those meetings are not fun." … Moore didn't think being tired had anything to do with his poor free throw shooting. After all, he pointed out, he was in foul trouble against Oregon and didn't play that much. But Thursday's loss had an effect on him. "I wouldn't say (there was a) hangover. Me personally, I just wanted to come out and be real aggressive because that loss on Thursday kind of got to us a little bit. A lot of people told us to forget about it, but I just wanted to make sure I remembered it, just so it wouldn't happen tonight." It didn't, in part because WSU got off to a much more energetic start. … Capers' 10 rebounds were a career high and came because he focused on it. "Coach emphasized before the game the guards needed to rebound because we weren't really helping the posts a lot. That was something I challenged myself to do." WSU was out-rebounded 32-28.
• That's it for tonight. We'll be back in the morning with links. Until then …

What's an example of this? Does this only apply when an expression has side-effects or does not evaluate the same when invoked twice? This was driven in part, I believe, by what existing implementations did that were discussed at the F2F. In an alternate design, what is the scope of alias variables? Where can/can't they be used?

Acute stress disorder develops within one month after an individual experiences or sees an event involving a threat or actual death, serious injury, or physical violation to the individual or others, and responds to this event with strong feelings of fear, helplessness or horror.
The diagnosis was established to identify those individuals who would eventually develop post-traumatic stress disorder. As far back as World War I this condition was referred to as "shell shock," in which there are similarities between reactions of soldiers who suffered concussions caused by exploding bombs or shells and those who suffered blows to their central nervous systems. More recently, ASD was brought to light as it became clear that for a short period, people might exhibit PTSD-like symptoms immediately after a trauma.
Trauma has both a medical and a psychiatric definition. Medically, trauma refers to a serious or critical bodily injury, wound or shock. This definition is often associated with trauma medicine practiced in emergency rooms and represents a popular view of the term. Psychiatrically, trauma has assumed a different meaning and refers to an experience that is emotionally painful, distressful or shocking, which often results in lasting mental and physical effects.

The Logitech diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks connects to your computer through USB 2.0, and its 2.4GHz wireless receiver can be used with any PC desktop or notebook with satisfactory results. Aside from a different set of shortcut keys across the top, the design of the diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks is almost identical to the Mac Edition, and unfortunately costs the same. Logitech just can't justify charging $100 for a keyboard that lacks ergonomics, USB ports, and illuminated keys. We'd rather save up $20 and then reach for the Logitech Illuminated keyboard instead.
The slim design of the Logitech diNovo for Notebooks is similar to other Logitech peripherals; a glossy, piano black border wraps closely around the keys and a slick silver aluminum wrist rest is fixed to the bottom. Looking at the keyboard from the side, the slender profile almost appears to be carved out of a solid block of plastic, and the build quality is sturdy without feeling bulky. A covered slot on the back of the keyboard reveals the four AAA nonrechargeable alkaline batteries used to power the 2.4GHz wireless connection, and a simple mini USB dongle connects to your computer to establish the partnership. Logitech claims that the batteries will last a respectable three years of continuous usage, as long as you slide the power switch to the off position when you're not using it. The plug-and-play design of the keyboard makes it very easy to start using the diNovo, and no drivers are necessary to connect the two devices.

shredded alot
beautiful pattern. I've been using it for two months, and it still shredding everyday!Read More
Great neutral rug
I bought this rug for my bedroom, and it works great. Very neutral, soft, easy to clean. Love it!Read More
Rug arrived with holes in the piling
The rug design is attractive and the colors were fine for my home, but I was shocked at the poor quality of the rug. The rug has multiple places where the loops are missing, lots of loops pulled out and fraying or longer than the other loops, and the edges of the pattern are indistinct in some places from all of the fraying. There are also long lines where the loops were bent in opposite directions and so the backing is visible. Maybe that is a fixable issue with time, but with the other problems I am sending this rug back. I own other looped rugs and none have ever had these problems before. It is so bad that I can't help but wonder if I was sent a used rug.....I requested a replacement and will see, as no one else on the reviews has complained about quality.Read More
Sheds like crazy!
This rug sheds so much! I've had it for 6+mo. And it still sheds and a lot. Not a good rug if you have kids crawling around it .Read More
Exactly as described
This rug is of excellent value. Upon first unwrapping it, I was expecting it to smell quite a bit based on the other reviews. Maybe I'm just not that picky, but the "smell" was far from overwhelming. I also thought the beige had a slight pink tone to it, but upon unrolling it and getting it on the floor, it looks amazing! No pink tone whatsoever, so I guess it was just the lighting and the positioning. In any case, I strongly suggest purchasing this product!Read More
Just ok...
I ordered this rug with high hopes it would go in my loft. Like any wool rug it sheds but I didn't have it long enough to know how bad it would be after a while. The texture of the rug is just as it looks in the close up pictures. Don't expect to cuddle up on this one but I wasn't expecting that either. The color is ultimately why I sent it back. In my house it gave off a lavender hue and it just didn't look good. When the rug arrived it smelled like wet dog....bad. But the smell went away once it aired out. It almost felt like the rug was damp or wet. I wish it had worked, it probably would look great with the right coloring and lighting just not in my house.Read More
Questions & Answers
What is the backing of this rug made of?
Hello tdear811, we appreciate your inquiry. The backing on this rug is made of canvas cotton. We hope this information has been helpful. Thank you for shopping with us. Have a great day!
What is the size of the pattern on the 8x10 rug?
Hi jan1123, my warehouse confirms the patten is 14 inches x 19 inches. Thanks for your interest, hope this helps!
Does this rug shed a lot or have an odor?
Hello fequentflier, According to the reviews we have so far, neither shedding or oder has been a problem. Thank you for your interest.
No odor and no shedding.
Just received my rug. Really enjoying the added texture in the room. However, my puppy tinkled on the new rug. I immediately took a towel pressed and absorbed the urine out of the rug, lightly sprayed it with vinegar and water solution, took another towel performed the same extraction method above. NO STAIN AT ALL ON THE RUG. I M happy with the cleanup and Puppy is doing great also. When spot cleaning the rug do not use a brush because of the loop pile design in the rug. Use old towels to spot clean the rug. I buy old towels from Thrift Store for all types of cleaning--even the car. The rug definitely does not shed.
Is this rug washable?
Hello fargogirl35, This is a wool rug and our recommendation for wool rugs is: Vacuum your wool rugs at least once a week. Most manufacturers recommend disabling beater bars and brush bars when vacuuming wool rugs. Get a professional cleaning done every one to two years. Blot spills as quickly as possible with a white cloth; then spot treat. Thank you for your interest.
Yes, I use a brushless attachment to clean the rug. I also purchase used towels from thrift stores for house and rug cleaning. Use white towels only. Hope this helps with keeping this beautiful rug looking good for years to come. Enjoy!

U.S. mixing in promotional appearances
NEW YORK -- Ideally, Mike Krzyzewski would have his players in a gym Thursday.
Instead, Kevin Durant and Co. were at Radio City Music Hall, essentially serving as the opening act for a Jay-Z performance that followed.
Not the best way to get a young team ready for a major tournament, but USA Basketball and its partners aren't just trying to win the world championships. The goal is also to promote them.
So the Americans are spending this week in New York, where time on the court is shared with appearances off it.
Team USA: Warmup Games
Here's Team USA's remaining schedule of exhibitions leading up to the 2010 FIBA men's basketball championship slated for Aug. 28-Sept. 12 in Istanbul, Turkey:
• Aug. 25: USA vs. Greece, Athens, Greece, Noon ET, ESPN2, ESPN3.com
The Americans are only two weeks from their arrival in Turkey, and they're well behind some of their competition. Defending world champion Spain and perennial power Argentina have already selected their teams and begun playing warm-up games.
The U.S. players, meanwhile, were hitting New York landmarks like tourists: An event Wednesday at the Tiffany and Co. jewelry store, followed by the trip Thursday to Radio City, where the Blue Team beat the White 49-47 in overtime, which was sudden death so the scrimmage could end and the venue could be prepared for the concert.
"It's a little bit different environment," Krzyzewski said. "I thought our guys reacted very well to it."
That came during the opening night ceremony for the World Basketball Festival, an event that USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo and Nike president Charlie Denson planned last year as what Colangelo called a "send-off for the world championships."
The U.S. team had a training camp last month in Las Vegas, where it worked out every summer before its competitions from 2006-08, and things may have been easier for Krzyzewski if they just stayed there and practiced in comfortable surroundings. But the marketing opportunities are better in New York, even if more obligations come with them.
Colangelo realizes that the move east is "a little distracting for Coach K" but necessary for Denson's vision.
"He wants to raise the bar for the world championships to become like the World Cup in soccer, and what better place to launch than in New York," Colangelo said. "And they've made a big investment here, which is much appreciated and it is lifting the bar."
The world championships are more prestigious than the Olympics in many countries, though they lag behind in the United States. They'll get coverage this weekend, with China, France and Puerto Rico joining the U.S. here.
The Americans will play the French on Sunday in the opener of a doubleheader at Madison Square Garden, followed by China against Puerto Rico.
"I think one of the things that probably here in the U.S. we underestimate is how loud this event is in China, how loud it is in South America, and that's really the opportunity to continue to grow the game and expose the game worldwide," Denson said during an interview at Niketown, where displays in the front of the store feature uniforms and merchandise of the four teams and Brazil.
Denson said New York was a natural for the weekend -- there's an event at famed Rucker Park on Friday. But he said it could be done in European cities before the 2012 Olympics in London and 2014 world championships in Spain.
And he said the promotional activities won't prevent the Americans for being ready when the world championships open Aug. 28.
"They're going to be very focused. The U.S. team has a very rigorous practice schedule, Coach K runs a pretty tight ship," Denson said. "So yeah, we're creating a lot of excitement and energy around the event, they're very focused on their task at hand and what they have to get done."

Development of an improved Sabatier reactor
Development of an improved Sabatier reactor This paper presents the results of recent experimental and analytical studies of a Sabatier reactor where carbon dioxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst react to form water, methane, and heat. The work undertaken in this program was aimed at simplification of design and control concepts of Sabatier subsystems. To this end, effort was expended to the development of UASC-151G, a highly active, physically durable catalyst composed of ruthenium on alumina. UASC-151G is five times as active as that supplied for the SSP program. The use of this improved catalyst has very significant effects on the Sabatier reaction subsystem design including: (1) lower temperature starting capability, (2) simiplification of active control and instrumentation requirements, (3) simplified reactor design, (4) improved reliability, and (5) high conversion efficiencies using only small amounts of catalyst. Reasonable agreement between test and computer simulation has been obtained for temperature and lean component conversion efficiencies for both steady-state and cyclic operation.

Dr. Hannah J. Baek's Ratings
Best experience I've had in years! Very professional and nice. I already started recommending dr Baek to friends and family!
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2193468].votes_count ]]
Dr. Baek, by far is the best dentist that has ever treated me. She is very very knowledgable. She knows her stuff! Being a young Dr I was a little skeptical, but to my surprise she was actually very refreshing. She lets me know what she is doing and asks about my comfort or discomfort as she continues through her procedures. She is NOT like some of the other DR's that are pushy. She went over my xrays and treatment plans and gave me her recommendations, but she didn't try to force me into anything. No scare tactics! I think I just found my last dentist!

SIOUX FALLS- With 35-year-old rookie Barry Fowler on the mound, the Sioux Falls Pheasants wanted to give their new pitcher some run support.
The offense provided plenty of pop, and Fowler earned his first professional win as the Pheasants defeated Kansas City 9-5 in 7 1/2 innings Monday in the third rain-shortened game of the season at Sioux Falls Stadium.
Brandon Sing led the charge with three extra-base hits and five RBI, including his 13th home run of the season, as all nine Pheasants' starters reached base in the game. Sing nearly hit three home runs, as his two doubles would've left the yard if not for the strong winds coming in from left field.
In his first start with Sioux Falls since joining the team on Friday, Fowler (1-1) pitched well, completing five innings and giving up five runs on six hits.
"It was a special moment for me," Fowler said. "I started thinking about it when it started raining and I just tried to enjoy the serenity of the moment."
Sioux Falls gave the rookie plenty of early run support. In the first, Sing smashed a bases-clearing double high off the left-field wall to drive in the first three runs. Two batters later, Francisco Leandro brought home Sing to give the Pheasants a 4-0 lead.
Fowler struggled with control in the second. After walking three consecutive batters with one out, the right-hander hit Johnny Bowden to bring home the first T-Bones run. Fowler induced Jeff Hulett to ground into the inning-ending double play to limit the damage to just one run.
"The guys played hard behind me," Fowler said. "All these guys have been very accepting of me since I got here, and I just want to thank them."
Kansas City starter Matt Mitchell (0-1) also had control issues, issuing four walks in the second including a bases-loaded walk to Sing. The right-hander, making his first start with Kansas City, exited after four innings, giving up six runs on five hits.
The T-Bones answered in the third when Ray Sadler belted a two-out, two-run home run to cut Sioux Falls' lead to 5-3.
In the fourth, Gus Milner lifted a solo home run to increase the Pheasants lead to 6-3.
Trevor Lawhorn turned in the defensive highlight of the night, robbing Sadler of a base hit on a diving stop at third base.
Kansas City cut the Pheasants lead to one run in the fifth when Kala Ka'aihue crushed a two-run homer off the scoreboard in right center.
Sing nearly had a home run in the bottom of the fifth, when his blast to field appeared to leave go out. The umpires reversed the call, ruling it a ground-rule double. Reggie Abercrombie followed though with a no-doubter out of the stadium, giving Sioux Falls a 8-5 lead.
Reliever Dan McDaniel got out of a jam in the sixth. After a balk put runners at second and third with one out, McDaniel struck out the next two Kansas City batters to end the threat.
Sing finally left the yard with two outs in the sixth. It was his first home run since June 8.
The game was called in the middle of the eighth inning.
The two clubs play the second game of this four-game series at 7:05 p.m. on June 21, at Sioux Falls Stadium.
