Important Information >>
By Ray Lanham
From the time I turned my first bowl over 40 years ago I've been captivated by the spiritual nature of creating art on the lathe. I met many talented woodturners during the '70s and '80s, when I taught woodworking in Sydney, Australia, but at the time, I didn't take the initiative to learn from them. Big mistake! Woodturning was about to experience phenomenal innovation and tremendous growth, and Australian woodturners and manufacturers were to be enormously influential. When I returned to visit Australia in 2002, the advances in techniques and equipment were so dramatic, I felt as if I was discovering woodturning for the first time.
Guilio Marcolongo is one of the Australian woodturners who inspired me and helped develop my turning skills. When I visited his shop last year, a striking wooden cowboy hat caught my eye. Being from Texas, I had to have one of my own, and without hesitation, Guilio agreed to teach me how to turn one. Guilio explained that he had learned the technique a few years earlier from JoHannes Michelson, during an American Association of Woodturners symposium at which they both were demonstrating. JoHannes, of Vermont (www.woodhat.com), is one of America's two premier hat-turners. Chris Ramsey of Kentucky (www.knot-head.com) is the other. This is the story of my own hat-turning experience.
1. My hat starts out as a green wood, 100-lb. slab of Australian Coastal Banksia, a gift from my instructor, Guilio Marcolongo. The first step is to establish the hat's crown and brim diameters.

2. A slab of this size and weight requires a heavy-duty lathe. I attach a faceplate so I can mount the slab on the headstock. Eventually, the area around the faceplate will be hollowed out to fit over my head.
3. I discover that "facing off" (leveling) the end of that huge hunk of wet, spinning wood takes nerves of steel. The rough, unbalanced slab requires support from the tailstock as well as the headstock.
4. As I true the edge of the blank, I'm amazed how difficult it is to keep the gouge steady. Turning a slab of this size and mass is challenging, to say the least!
5. This project requires razor-sharp tools, so I stop often to resharpen. I'm feeling more comfortable now, because the rough turning is completed and the blank is balanced. The brim and crown are just starting to take shape.
6. Guilio measures for my hat size. Since our heads are oval, he measures the length and width of my head and applies those numbers to a hat size-calculating formula to determine the appropriate size.
7. Now the curly shavings begin to slice off like butter. Water liberated from the green wood runs down my bowl gouge onto my arm and feet. Waterproof clothing, Guilio says, is fashionable attire for green-wood turners.
8. Nearing the final shape, we pause to measure the crown, making allowance for the final inside size. Hatturning may be an art, but it's an art that requires precise measuring. Specialty calipers make this task easier.
9. After thinning the brim to 3/8 in., I establish the top of the crown and begin to turn down the waste to create a tenon. When the hat is remounted to hollow out the crown, a four-jaw chuck will grip the tenon.
10. Once the dovetail-shaped tenon is correctly sized, I remove the tailstock support and pare away the nib. Thus far, my only turning tool has been a 1/2 in. bowl gouge with a modified fingernail grind.
11. I switch to a rounded skew to shape the crown and smooth the transition to the brim. You can clearly see the raised hatband.
12. Brushing on a mixture of steel wool dissolved in apple cider vinegar creates the ebonized hatband. When the ferrous-rich mixture contacts tannin in the wood, the band turns black almost immediately.
13. A texturing wheel fitted onto a homemade handle creates a unique "woven" texture on the blackened hatband.
14. To finish the brim and hollow the crown, the hat must be turned around and remounted, while remaining perfectly centered. Guilio explains that the four-jaw chuck centers the top end by gripping the dovetailed tenon. At the other end, a cone center mounted in the tailstock centers the faceplate.
15. With the brim thinned to just over 1 mm, we remove the faceplate and tailstock. Wall thickness near the brim must be reduced quickly now, as the brim is starting to dry out. To keep the wood moist, we continuously spray the hat with water.
16. Wet wood is translucent, so bright light stationed behind makes it easy to establish uniform thickness across the brim. Using a very sharp bowl gouge, I simply "turn to the color" of the desired thickness.
17. With the brim at final thickness, I turn my attention to removing the waste from the center of the crown. I've returned to the 1/2 in. bowl gouge and positioned the tool rest inside the cavity for maximum support.
18. I've moved the light to the side of the hat and turned the crown's wall thickness "to color," as before. The end result is approximately 1 mm (3/64 in.) thick.
19. I've reoriented the hat again to finish the crown. The hat is mounted on a "jam chuck," a foamcushioned wooden block shaped to fit inside the crown. The tailstock center presses the hat against the jam chuck.
20. A light inside the jam chuck allows me to achieve uniform thickness while I create the outside rim and domed center of the crown's top. This is delicate work.
21. Light sanding readies the hat for its final shaping, which is done off the lathe. When the hat is thoroughly dry, it will weigh about eight ounces, over 99 lbs. less than the original blank.
22. Removing the finished hat from the jam chuck is harrowing. The wood has shrunk during the process and I'm afraid one wrong tap will cause irreparable damage.
23. Tightening the threaded rod on a homemade bending jig compresses the hat into an oval shape that matches the measurements we took of my head. Our continuous re-wetting of the hat during the turning process has kept it pliable.
24. Installing heavy rubber bands gradually bends and shapes the brim. The threaded rod has to be adjusted occasionally to maintain the correct front-to-back and side-to-side measurements. Is my head too big now?
25. I can hardly believe I did it! The hat stays in the bending form until it is thoroughly dry—about 150 hours, according to Guilio. Still to come are final sanding and multiple coats of wipe-on polyurethane.

From Big Boy to Boxcars: The Good and Bad of Railroad Graffiti
The Big Boy to Boxcars: The Good and Bad of Railroad Graffiti at the National Railroad Museum, which opened February 1, 2014, is designed to stimulate discussion on and challenge conceptions about graffiti. The National Railroad Museum is in no way endorsing this act; however, the museum is embracing this art form for what it is, a part of social history. |
Artist Biography: Andrea Fuhrman With a MFA from Washington University (St. Louis) and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Andrea Fuhrman has a distinguished career with pieces exhibited in New York City, St. Louis, California, Kansas and Oregon. As a child, Andrea Fuhrman remembers the impressions left by peering through her father's microscope. Fuhrman's art also pulls the viewer inward as she tightly focuses on the color, texture and detail allowing one to see the richness and depth of otherwise common and overlooked subjects. Using long telephoto lenses and macro-photography, she is able to create visually stunning images pulled from the graffiti found on railcars. |
Artist Biography: Tim Noll A Wisconsin native, with a strong love for line and composition, Tim Noll's photography primarily falls in the black and white realm, with an emphasis on the use of traditional film photography techniques. His color photography documents unique subjects where line and composition cannot reveal depth alone. Noll's mixed media pieces have been exhibited at the Neville Public Museum. Like his photography, he focuses on line, spaces and shapes, while also concentrating on an experimental use of color and layering to achieve highly detailed and emotive art. |

Lexham English Bible (LEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 "But now hear, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen. | 1 "But now listen, O Jacob, my servant, Israel, whom I have chosen. |
2 Thus says Yahweh, who made you, and who formed you in [the] womb and will help you: you must not fear, my servant Jacob, and Jeshurun whom I have chosen. | 2 This is what the LORD says-- he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. |
3 For I will pour out water on a thirsty [land] and streams on dry ground. I will pour my spirit out on your descendants and my blessing on your offspring. | 3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. |
4 And they shall sprout {among} [the] grass like willows by a watercourse of water. | 4 They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams. |
5 This [one] will say, 'I belong to Yahweh!' And that [one] will be called by the name of Jacob, and another will write [on] his hand 'Yahweh's' and {take the name} of Israel." | 5 One will say, 'I belong to the LORD'; another will call himself by the name of Jacob; still another will write on his hand, 'The LORD's,' and will take the name Israel. |
6 Thus says Yahweh, the king of Israel, and its redeemer, Yahweh of hosts: "I [am the] first, and I [am the] last, and there is no god besides me. | 6 "This is what the LORD says-- Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God. |
7 And who [is] like me? Let him proclaim [it]! And let him declare it and set it in order for me {since I established an eternal people} and things that are to come, and let them tell them [the things] that are coming. | 7 Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and lay out before me what has happened since I established my ancient people, and what is yet to come-- yes, let him foretell what will come. |
8 You must not tremble, and you must not be paralyzed with fear. Have I not made you hear from of old and declared [it], and you [are] my witnesses? Is there a god besides me? And there is no rock! I know none!" | 8 Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one." |
9 All those who form an idol [are] nothing, and their delightful things do not profit. And their witnesses do not see or know, so they will be ashamed. | 9 All who make idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Those who would speak up for them are blind; they are ignorant, to their own shame. |
10 Who would form a god and cast an image of [which] he cannot profit? | 10 Who shapes a god and casts an idol, which can profit him nothing? |
11 Look! all his companions shall be ashamed, and [the] artisans [are] human! Let all of them assemble; let them stand up. They shall tremble; they shall be ashamed together. | 11 He and his kind will be put to shame; craftsmen are nothing but men. Let them all come together and take their stand; they will be brought down to terror and infamy. |
12 [The] {ironsmith} works in the coals [with his] tool and forms it with hammers. And he makes it with {his strong arm}; indeed, he becomes hungry, and {he lacks} strength; he does not drink water, and he is faint. | 12 The blacksmith takes a tool and works with it in the coals; he shapes an idol with hammers, he forges it with the might of his arm. He gets hungry and loses his strength; he drinks no water and grows faint. |
13 [The] {woodworker} stretches out a line; he makes an outline [of] it with [a] marker. He makes it with [a] knife and makes an outline [of] it with [a] compass. He makes it like [the] image of a man, like [the] beauty of a human, to dwell [in] a temple. | 13 The carpenter measures with a line and makes an outline with a marker; he roughs it out with chisels and marks it with compasses. He shapes it in the form of man, of man in all his glory, that it may dwell in a shrine. |
14 Cutting down cedars for himself, he {chooses} a holm tree and an oak, and he lets it grow strong for him among [the] trees of [the] forest. He plants a cedar, and [the] rain makes [it] grow. | 14 He cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest, or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow. |
15 And it {becomes fuel for a human}, and he takes some of it and grows warm; also, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also, he makes a god and bows in worship; he makes himself an image and bows down to it! | 15 It is man's fuel for burning; some of it he takes and warms himself, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. But he also fashions a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it. |
16 He burns half of it in [the] fire; he eats meat over half of it; he roasts a roast and is satisfied. Also he grows warm and says, "Ah! I am warm! I see [the] fire!" | 16 Half of the wood he burns in the fire; over it he prepares his meal, he roasts his meat and eats his fill. He also warms himself and says, "Ah! I am warm; I see the fire." |
17 And he makes the remainder of it into a god! He bows down to his idol, and he bows in worship and prays to him, and he says, "Save me, for you [are] my god!" | 17 From the rest he makes a god, his idol; he bows down to it and worships. He prays to it and says, "Save me; you are my god." |
18 They do not know, and they do not understand, for their eyes [are] besmeared {so that they cannot see}, their {minds} {so that they have no insight}. | 18 They know nothing, they understand nothing; their eyes are plastered over so they cannot see, and their minds closed so they cannot understand. |
19 And {no one takes it to heart}, and [there is] no knowledge and no understanding to say, "I burned half of it in [the] fire and also I baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat, and I have eaten. And I shall make [the] rest of it into an abomination! I shall bow down to a block of wood!" | 19 No one stops to think, no one has the knowledge or understanding to say, "Half of it I used for fuel; I even baked bread over its coals, I roasted meat and I ate. Shall I make a detestable thing from what is left? Shall I bow down to a block of wood?" |
20 [He] feeds [on] ashes; a {deceived mind} misleads him. And he cannot save {himself}, and he cannot say, "Is [this] not an illusion in my right hand?" | 20 He feeds on ashes, a deluded heart misleads him; he cannot save himself, or say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?" |
21 "Remember these things, Jacob, and Israel, for you [are] my servant: I formed you; you [are] my servant; Israel, you will not be forgotten by me! | 21 "Remember these things, O Jacob, for you are my servant, O Israel. I have made you, you are my servant; O Israel, I will not forget you. |
22 I have wiped your transgressions out like [a] cloud and your sins like mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you!" | 22 I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you." |
23 Sing for joy, heavens, for Yahweh has done [it]! Shout, depths of [the] earth! Break forth, mountains, [in] rejoicing, forest and every tree in it, for Yahweh has redeemed Jacob, and he will show his glory in Israel! | 23 Sing for joy, O heavens, for the LORD has done this; shout aloud, O earth beneath. Burst into song, you mountains, you forests and all your trees, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, he displays his glory in Israel. |
24 Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer, and he who formed you in [the] womb: "I [am] Yahweh, who made everything, who stretched out [the] heavens alone, who spread out the earth--who [was] with me?-- | 24 "This is what the LORD says-- your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, |
25 who frustrates [the] signs of oracle priests and makes a fool of diviners, who drives [the] wise men back and makes their knowledge foolish, | 25 who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense, |
26 who keeps the word of his servant and carries out the plan of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, 'It shall be inhabited,' and of the cities of Judah, 'They shall be rebuilt, and I will restore its ruins'; | 26 who carries out the words of his servants and fulfills the predictions of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, 'It shall be inhabited,' of the towns of Judah, 'They shall be built,' and of their ruins, 'I will restore them,' |
27 who says to the deep, 'Dry up! And I will cause your rivers to dry up'; | 27 who says to the watery deep, 'Be dry, and I will dry up your streams,' |
28 who says of Cyrus, 'My shepherd,' and he shall carry out all my wishes; and saying of Jerusalem, 'It shall be rebuilt,' and [the] temple, 'It shall be founded.'" | 28 who says of Cyrus, 'He is my shepherd and will accomplish all that I please; he will say of Jerusalem, "Let it be rebuilt," and of the temple, "Let its foundations be laid."

I have a tool / storage shed in SE Wisconsin - no ac, not heated, stores lawn and garden equipment. The floor is pressure treated plywood and is stained white.
I wanted to have a nicer looking floor with the additional thought of trying out garage tiles in the small space of the shed to decide if I want to do it in the garage and basement workshop when I can afford it. I was considering floor tiles like RaceDeck, FastFlor, and ArmorGarage. I get just a ton of complete opposite information that it is very confusing. First up is Armor Garage. http://www.armorgarage.com/armortilelight.html
Second is RaceDeck. http://www.racedeck.com/freeflow.html
Lastly, is FastFlor. http://www.fastflor.com/garage_tile
A nice looking, durable floor is important, but more importantly I don't want to create problems where I don't have any today - ie, moisture, mold, mildew, cracking or other damae, etc. My problem is I'm confused if vented or non-vented is the choice. Arguments are 50/50 on each side. On one hand the vented makes sense as at least some moisture in a garage, shed, or basement comes from the ground up and this allows it to evaporate. On the other hand, letting the road salt flow freely and collect on the floor certainly seems damaging. On the third hand :) , non-vented seems like they would resist the salt flowing down, but may very well trap moisture from the ground up. Everyone seems to say these types of floors are superior to other typical methods like epoxy and such, yet this issue doesn't seem to get addressed fully. Anyone with viewpoints or experience with the products or additional thoughts? |

(UPDATED COVERAGE, March 5) Fresh produce shippers and others in the supply chain that have adopted Produce Traceability Initiative methods can apparently breathe a sigh of relief.
As concerns of Food Safety Modernization Act mandates at the grower and food processing levels arise, pilot studies on how the act's traceability requirements should be applied bolster the case for PTI, first outlined more than five years ago.
On March 4, the Institute of Food Technologists released a 334-page report, "Pilot Projects for Improving Product Tracing along the Food Supply System," focusing on two specific food segments: processed foods and high-risk fresh fruits and vegetables. For the processed foods, the institute chose peanut butter and Frozen Kung Pao-style meals.
Tomatoes — domestic and imported, field- and greenhouse-grown and whole and sliced — were studied along the supply chain, according to the FDA, from field to foodservice and retail outlets.
"We looked at tomatoes because they have been involved in a number of significant and repeat outbreaks," according to a news release from the FDA. "Tomatoes represent a complex food supply chain and were identified by most . Industry associations as a top candidate for the produce related pilot."
The Food and Drug Administration tasked the institute with the research, which will lay the foundation for traceability mandates in the new food safety law.
"The recommendations are very sensible and consistent with PTI," said Elliot Grant, founder of YottaMark Inc., Redwood City, Calif.
Grant said the company's HarvestMark traceability system participated in the institute's pilot as a technology solution providers.
"If you made investments with PTI so far, you should read this report with relief because it is very much substantiates the methodology of PTI," Grant said.
The alliance recommends that all FDA-regulated foods be subject to uniform record-keeping requirements.
Speak up
The next step in the process is a public comment period, which ends April 5. Comments can be submitted at http://www.regulations.gov (docket No. FDA-2012-N-1153), according to a news release.
The institute's proposal aligns with the goals of the traceability initiative, said Ed Treacy, vice president of supply chain efficiencies at the Newark, Del.-based Produce Marketing Association. Treacy said he participated in working groups related to the produce pilots, which focused on eight case studies regarding .

It was a back-and-forth dogfight, but Rich Central was able to pull out a hardscrabble 21-12 Southland Conference victory over crosstown rival Rich South on Friday night at home.
The Olympians' (3-3, 2-1) defense bent, but did not break, benefitting from costly South turnovers. On a soggy night, the Stars coughed up the ball five times and saw three of their marches up the field fall flat because of fumbles. Central capitalized, scoring 7 points off the miscues.
"Tonight we executed," Central coach Terrell Alexander said. "I think they ran the ball pretty well. But we tried to avoid the big play as best we could. And that was the biggest thing."
The Olympians scored on their first drive of the game, with Devonte Black connecting on an 18-yard strike to receiver Shawn Calhoun. South struck back early in the second frame as DeAndre Washington barreled in for a 4-yard touchdown to knot the score at 6.
Central wasted no time answering, responding with a Brandon Fowler touchdown run on its ensuing possession. The score was set up by a 52-yard catch by Fowler that set the Olympians up deep in South territory.
The Stars (2-4, 2-1) seemed poised to return the favor on the next drive, but quarterback Brendon Zachery was stripped near midfield, setting up a 13-yard touchdown run by James Thigpen that put Central up 21-6.
Another Stars drive just before the half ended in dismay, when Jaylen Zachery hauled in a 37-yard pass in Central territory but fumbled the ball.
"Usually you're living on the edge in high school football with two (turnovers), and we had four or five," South coach Bret Tucker said.
Washington was a man in the backfield for the Stars, grinding out 184 yards on 27 bruising carries. He scored South's second TD on a 1-yard plow with 3:14 remaining in the third quarter.
But the 6-foot, 3-inch workhorse mishandled the handoff on a Stars possession midway through the fourth to stall South's last threatening scoring drive.
"You could feel the momentum starting to change, and we dropped the ball," Tucker said. "It's plain and simple — you're not going to win games if you have five turnovers."
Thigpen led the Olympians with 84 yards on 19 rushes. Fowler snared six catches for 103 yards, while Black completed 14 of 19 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown.
"I loved the atmosphere," Tucker said. "It's a big rivalry. The kids really get fired up for this type of game."

In 1975, John Sebastian, former member of the beloved 60s pop group the Lovin' Spoonful, was asked to write and record the theme song for a brand-new ABC television show with the working title Kotter. As any songwriter would, Sebastian first tried working that title into his song, but somehow the rhymes he came up with for "Kotter"—otter, water, daughter, slaughter—didn't really lend themselves to a show about a middle-aged schoolteacher returning to his scrappy Brooklyn neighborhood to teach remedial students at his own former high school. So Sebastian took a more thoughtful approach to the task at hand and came up with a song about finding your true calling in a life you thought you'd left behind. That song, "Welcome Back," not only went on to become a #1 pop single on this day in 1976, but it also led the show's producers to change its title to Welcome Back, Kotter.
What Sebastian's sweet, wistful and playfully nostalgic tune did not do, however, was influence the tone and content of the show. To listen to "Welcome Back," you'd think that Welcome Back, Kotter was a seriocomic slice-of-life program in the mold of, say, The Courtship of Eddie's Father—another 70s TV show with a theme song by a great 60s songwriter (Harry Nilsson). Instead, Welcome Back, Kotter was little more than a flimsy platform for catchphrase-spouting caricatures, albeit an insanely successful one. Arnold Horshack's "Oooh, oooh, oooh," Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington's "Hi therrre," Vinnie Barbarino's "What? What?" and Gabe Kotter's "Up your nose with a rubber hose" were the pop-cultural coin-of-the-realm in 1975-76, and though they bore little relation in tone or spirit to the song that topped the charts on this day in 1976, the disconnect did nothing to hinder the popularity of all things Kotter-related. Indeed, if you weren't wearing an Uncle Sam or King Kong T-shirt in the summer of America's bicentennial year, you were probably wearing one with a picture of "the Sweathogs" and a colorful phrase like "Off my case, toilet face" on it.
"Welcome Back" was the first and only television theme song that John Sebastian ever wrote, but it was far from the only television theme song of the mid-1970s to become a legitimate pop hit. Only weeks earlier in 1976, the instrumental "Theme From S.W.A.T." had topped the Billboard Hot 100, and the excellent Mike Post-written theme The Rockford Files had made the top 10 the previous summer.

If you have an inner ear implant, aneurysm clips in your brain, a pacemaker, pain pump, cardiac stents or allergy to gadolinium, you must inform the technologist since most likely you are not a candidate for this exam.
The MRI equipment uses magnetic field and radio waves to study the breast tissue. Detection of breast cancer is based on increased deposition of MR contrast material (gadolinium) in the tumor. For this reason, you will receive an intraveneous injection during one part of the examination.
Patient preparation:
Please allow approximatley two hours for the procedure. You will be in the MRI scanner for 20 to 30 minutes. The remaining time is allocated for registration, starting an IV, and positioning for the exam.
MRI of the breast, when used together with mammography, ultrasound, and physical examination, can help improve breast cancer diagnosis.
A form of non-invasive breast cancer called ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) may not be detected by this exam, but may be visible on mammogram. Therefore, mammography remains an essential component of your complete evaluation.
The MRI suite is located on the first floor of the Medical Office Building (160 North Eagle Creek Drive). When you arrive please proceed first to Registration (across the foyer from the Breast Center).

Topic: What instrument can we use to measure volume, pH, density in the ammonium reactor?

Re: What instrument can we use to measure volume, pH, density in the ammonium reactor?
8 August 2012 at 11:31am Last edited: 8 August 2012 at 11:38amRadar level would work to measure volume but bubbles and surface turbulence may make the level measurement noisy. A Coriolis meter in a recirculation line could measure density. A pH electrode may not last long and may respond more to water concentration. I would use a high temperature glass electrode and a replaceable junction or solid reference electrode since these can better withstand chemical attack. There is the possibility that the use of a conductivity, oxidation reduction potential, and/or a pH measurement could provide an inferential measurement of concentration. I suggest you contact Jim Gray, manager of applications at Rosemount Analytical Irvine, Calif., to check application suitability (Editor's note: Jim Gray offers his insight below). Make sure all of the wetted materials of construction for the meter and the electrodes including o-rings and gaskets meet your worst case conditions considering the corrosive nature of the fluids in your process.
For more on radar level measurement, see the Control Global February 2012 Control Talk Column "Radar Love" and the Chemical Processing July 2011 article "Make the Most Out of Radar"
Expert Greg McMillan asked Ram G. Ramchandran of Systems Research Intl. of Destrehan, La., to provide additional inputs:Here is Ram's answer: Anhydrous ammonia is corrosive in pipelines and some amount of water is injected with ammonia liquid in pipelines making it conductive with about 1,000 ppm [0.10%] or below water content. Using sonic probes/meters for level measurement is common. A sonic level transmitter should have dual probes with compatible metal and sheath and isolators. Another option is a capacitance probes with COMAD [RF] technology with all polytetrafluoroethylene insulated probes. I do not know his flange arrangement in the reactor. Extended diaphragm d/p can be tried with compatible metal facing on the flange face. A radar gauge will not lend itself well to this service. Generally tantalum sheath is used for thermowells to prevent corrosion. Some vendors offer a special instrument designed for this type of reactor.
A turbine meter is common for measuring flow. For custody transfer, nowadays, Coriolis meters are used in conjunction with inline provers. Operating temperature is -20°F, most of the wetted parts are 316 stainless steel. NO copper parts or wiring/housing is admissible in the operating area with the presence of ammonia gas.If the converter uses electrical heaters to achieve exothermic reaction to sustain conversion- after the startup [catalyst reduction], usually a multi stream chromatograph is used to measure all gases, including inert gases like argon, at different points. These reactors operate at higher pressures and temperatures than converters common in the US. They are less efficient comparatively but less maintenance/failure-prone with longer catalyst life.
No pH is measured in converter area. Generally solid-state probes are used for pH. Besides CO, CO2, methane, O2 are measured using infrared analyzers. Conductivity is commonly used to maintain water quality in all exchangers. Continuous emission monitors [CEMs] are common on stacks for reporting NOx, CO, CO2 and O2.
Jim Gray, applications manager at Rosemount Analytical, offered this insight:If you look at the conductivities of these solutions, they appear to be relatively straightforward concentration measurements:
21% ammonia has a conductivity of about 12,000 uS/cm and the curve of conductivity versus concentration always increases over this range.
21% ammonium nitrate likewise always increases and has a conductivity of 250,000 uS/cm at 21%.
The conductivity of phosphoric acid does increase and come to a maximum of 280,000 uS/cm at 50%, and then drops to 160,000 uS/cm at 70%. Since there is a hump in the conductivity versus concentration curve, the conductivity at 70% would be the same as it is at 25%, which could cause some problems if they were relying on conductivity alone, depending upon what the process is doing. Phosphoric acid solutions have a pretty healthy increase in specific gravity, increasing up to 1.25 at 40%, which is where my data runs out.
So, I think that if they are only interested in concentration measurements, a toroidal conductivity measurements with PEEK conductivity sensor, and maybe a density measurement for phosphoric acid would work.
I took a look online to see if I could get an idea of what the process might entail and it's likely that they are making diammonium phosphate by reacting phosphoric acid with ammonia. Since this is an acid neutralization reaction, pH comes to mind first. But depending on the concentration of phosphoric acid they are starting with, there could be problems with the pH sensor. If there will be exposure to concentrated ammonia solutions, there could also be problems because ammonia has a stronger affinity for silver ion than chloride does, which could cause problem with the reference.
Depending on what they are doing and just how they are doing it, neutralization might be followed with conductivity.
If I knew a little more about the process, I might be able to come up more definite answers.

There are so many reasons I loved photographing Kasandra & Don's wedding! Let's start with the most important thing. They are so in love! You have to see the way Don looked at Kasandra throughout the evening. It was so endearing! Beyond that, they had a beautiful Greek ceremony at Saint George's church in Centerville. I love Greek ceremonies. They are visually stunning and full of meaning (and they repeat everything three times so I get lots of chances to take the perfect photo!). Then, we all headed to the beach for wedding party photos. It was a gorgeous day for beach photos with a beautiful blue sky! Finally, we were off to the reception at Cape Cod's Ocean Edge Resort where Kasandra included perfect little Cape Cod touches like sand dollar place cards and blue hydrangea centerpieces. It was lovely! Kasandra and Don, I hope you enjoy your wedding photos as much as I loved taking them!
Absolutely gorgeous! I feel like I just re-lived the whole wedding! It was such a great time! So honored to have been a part of such a beautiful day! Love you both. Welcome home, Mr.&Mrs B!
the best part of Kasandra and Don are their smiles!!!!!!!!!!!The best celebration of love and unity EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love, love, love! You captured some amazing moments, Nikki.
WOW! I was right, I do have the most beautiful sister in the world! Great photos! it really captured the strong love and happiness shared by all. A day we'll never forget, and pics to share for ever!
Totally captured the amazing, fun day! KK, you look sooooo beautiful!
Beautiful, stunning and so much FUN! Glad we could celebrate with you both.
You guys look so happy! And those little nephews in their shorts suits are to die for.
OMGOSH!!!! I feel like I actually got to go to that amazing event. Everyone's smile tells the Story! Thanks for sharing with me. Can't wait to see each and every photo. Congratulations!!!
Stunning photos of a perfect day! Made me smile all over again!

Understand The Foreclosure Process
To put it into simple language, mortgage foreclosure is the process a bank or Mortgage Company (In a judicial foreclosure) and a trustee (in a non-judicial foreclosure) will use to take back ownership of your home because you have failed to make your mortgage payments at the appointed time. You are the debtor or mortgagor and are supposed to pay the installment or mortgage payment every month to your mortgage lender who is the mortgagee.
When you fail to make a mortgage payment within 30 days of the due date you are considered to have defaulted which means that you are now delinquent on your payments. Proceedings can then be initiated for the mortgagee to foreclose on the mortgage and take the home back. Therefore, the foreclosure process involves terminating your ownership interest and rights to the property, evicting you from the premises and selling your property (usually at auction) to recoup the money that was loaned.
The foreclosure process:
There are two types of foreclosure processes and procedures that differ depending upon the state you are in called either judicial and a non judicial states. Litvin Law Firm practices in 31 states and is thoroughly familiar with both judicial and non judicial proceedings.
In a judicial foreclosure, the process is controlled by the courts. The judge grants a final judgment to the lender which closes the proceeding and allows the bank to repossess the home. A non-judicial foreclosure does not require an action of the court. A trustee who is appointed by the lender has the authority to order the sale of a property in as short of a time as 30 days from the initial delinquency.
In general, the foreclosure process begins when a loan payment becomes 30 days overdue. Usually your mortgage lender will contact you in an attempt to work out a repayment schedule. You should not ignore any attempt by your lender to contact you. Most mortgage companies are likely to begin foreclosure procedures within a sixty to ninety day delinquency. As your mortgage payments become even more past due, the collection calls will come on a more consistent basis. Again, it is strongly recommended that you do not ignore these contact attempts by your lender.
After your payments fall 90 days behind, the mortgage company will most likely send a registered a letter to you called a Notice of Default (NOD). This letter puts you on notice that the bank has the option to turn your mortgage over to an attorney and start the formal foreclosure process. Remember, the foreclosure process varies from state to state, so do your due diligence in researching information about how the foreclosure process is handled in your state. You need to know if you are in a judicial foreclosure state or non-judicial foreclosure state. Litvin Law Firm will be happy to help you with this information free of charge or obligation; just call us toll free at (877) 829-4104 law or inquire through the live chat option that you see on this page.
The notice of default will provide you with specific information including the time period and amount necessary to be paid in order to rectify the default and avoid foreclosure. The lender may provide other options where you can still keep your home, like a forbearance plan or loan modification. However, these can be difficult to negotiate on your own.
If you are unable to reach a settlement with your lender within the given time frames, then your lender will set a foreclosure sale date. Your lender will then take the required steps to sell the property at public auction with the proceeds from the sale paying what is owed to the mortgage holder.
If the sale price is not enough to cover the outstanding debt and the costs associated with the sale, the mortgage lender can pursue a deficiency judgment against you. This action is a court order that requires you to pay the remaining balance to your lender.
You can defend foreclosure! The attorneys and paralegals at the Litvin Law Firm are experienced on the subject. For information on foreclosures, the process, your options and how to save your home, please call a Litvin foreclosure professional at (877) 829-4104, respond to our live chat on this page, or fill out the short form on this page and a member of the Litvin Law Firm foreclosure team will reach out to you.

Looking at the BIOS, there's nothing out of the ordinary when it compares to seeing it against other GIGABYTE boards BIOSs. GIGABYTE haven't opted to go the full on UEFI style inside the traditional BIOS and have instead opted for TouchBIOS, a version that runs through Windows and offers us all the same options.
If you're going to do any overclocking, the chances are you will spend most of the time in the M.I.T. area. You will probably more than likely not have any use in the other areas, but if you've used an Award BIOS from GIGABYTE over the last few years, then you shouldn't have any trouble working your way around.

I am an institutional economist working on institutional reconstruction to reduce unemployment, inequality and poverty by providing better opportunities for the unemployed and impoverished to participate in productive economic activity. My work involves improving monetary and fiscal policies as well as reconstructing the institutions making those policies in both the US and the global economies. At the global level, The Big Three Integrating Institutions of interest to me are the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and World Trade Organization. The Big Three need to be reconstructed to provide for full participation of the poor and excluded. The objective of these Big Three institutions should be the rapid growth and development of the countries of the "Third World." The role of technology, technology transfer, and the knowledge economy are crucial to that growth and development because unlike many physical things, one person's or one group's use of knowledge does not have to exclude the use of the same knowledge by another person or group. In fact, attempted exclusion is expensive and counterproductive.

The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's Department is still on the scene in Paso Robles where they say an officer was shot early Saturday morning.
Deputies say a traffic stop was initiated on Spring Street, but the suspect left.
A pursuit then went through Paso Robles until deputies say the suspect crashed his car into a tree on 13th and Spring Street.
They say the suspect then got out of his car and ran to 14th and Park, where multiple rounds were exchanged between a California Highway Patrol officer and the suspect.
Officials have the area blocked off as they continue searching for more evidence.
They say the officer and suspect were taken to the hospital where they are being treated for gunshot wounds.
Their condition is not known.
Officials say a CHP airplane was in the area after the incident taking aerial photos to map out the crime scene.

Super Bowl 2013 Commercials. Did the big guys lose?
Did you have a favorite Super Bowl ad this year? If you said 'No.' you won't be alone.
Super Bowl is the time when brands are sure to deliver big entertainment at that time of the year. But did they? This year it seems like advertisers deliver nothing but confused, sexiest and unfunny commercials.
Here is what I mean:
Go Daddy:
Stereotyping? Disgusting? A bit disturbing? Are they being provocative here or is it ok to use this type of affection in a commercial? Too many questions I know, but we should think about it. The second Go Daddy ad – many people claim plain stupid. But you know what they have money and this is their way to get attention. So, love it or hate it we talk about them and that is all they want.
How much fun did you have while watching the little girl bribing her dad to play with her? The implication that a dad would not play with is daughter until she bribes him was not fun at all.
Volkswagen "Get Happy" ad:
Did you think it was racial? According to many news media it was. It has been quite controversial . What did you think?
Gildan "Getaway" ad:
It has something to it…but what exactly. Why is everybody betting on sexually revealing ads? Sure when a T-shirt is good we love it and we want it, but there are so many more ways to express that in a commercial.
Enough with the bad, it is time for something good.
Certainly not all commercials were bad. Some were ok, some better, some kind of funny. Nothing shockingly good tough. But here are the good once.
Our favorite ads:
Mercedes – Benz "Soul"
Quite an impressive way for Mercedes to unveil the new CLA Class. The idea of selling your soul to the devil for a Mercedes is great because it is an expensive brand. However for this Mercedes you don't have to sell your soul to nobody. Go get it, I am definitely considering it, once it is out on the market.
Fiat 500 Abarth
Another good ad that we enjoyed watching. Although it is quite revealing it does serve its purpose to advertise a new product quite elegantly.
Audi "Prom" ad:
Audi is one of The Brands. Right? I mean we love it. Audis are well engineered German cars and this ad is pretty good in promoting that. Da? Das Auto!
In the end it seems like it is the cars that win…and we don't mind that.

Bill Pay is a service that speeds up the monthly check-writing chore. Instead of writing and mailing checks one-by-one, bill-pay users click boxes and type amounts. SBSU and CheckFree do the rest. The system requires initial setup. After that, paying a bill is as easy as logging into our web site from anywhere in the world. Please click on each of the topics above to get the most from our bill pay system.
Sign up for E-statements with any business or personal checking account**.
**Money Market accounts are excluded from the free bill pay offer because of the Federally regulated transaction restrictions, which limits withdrawals to no more than 6 by check per month.
CheckFree employs the risk model for paying bills. This means that funds are debited from the user's account at about the same time the bill is paid. The user keeps the float! With other bill-pay systems the money is taken before being sent to the payee. About 70% of transactions are handled by electronic methods. The remaining 30% is divided between laser drafts (a check that posts to the user's account) and corporate checks (a check from CheckFree's account). SBSU cannot control the payment method chosen by CheckFree.
The user picks which vendors to pay and the amount. The system automatically defaults to the earliest date the payment will reach the vendor, which the user may accept or adjust to a later date. CheckFree guarantees payments up to $50 if they are submitted with the correct information and scheduled to arrive before the due date.
Bill-Pay NSF Caution: Two NSF/OD fees may apply - one from SBSU and one from CheckFree. SBSU may return CheckFree's collection attempt because of insufficient funds (NSF) in your account, in which case you will receive two NSF fees, one immediately from SBSU and another from CheckFree at month end. Click here to review potential fees.
Money Market Caution: Federal regulations restrict money market withdrawals to no more than six (6) per month. A $10 fee is charged for each excess withdrawal. These limits make money market accounts poor candidates to associate with bill pay.
Stop Payments: SBSU or CheckFree stop payment fees may apply depending upon the payment type. CheckFree charges $25 per stop. See our fee schedule for SBSU stop payment fees.
Don't use the bill pay system for bank to bank transfers or for paying State Bank loans. There's a better way, as follows:

DSK also had a face like thunder ('that should have been me up there' he might have been thinking) but his analysis is right - and I think not so far from S�go's own view. She was hampered both by her own party's chauvinism (DSK and the other elephants not rallying behind her) and the continuing appeal of the far left to French voters. Royal had to tack further left than she might have wished in order to ensure passing the first round - for some reason Sarko is forgiven for wooing of Le Pen voters while she is pilloried because she has to fight for votes from the Trotskyist/Communist fringe. Both candidates represented 'rupture' in form, whether immigrant's son or woman leader. It's true that Sarkozy wants to lower taxation, but he's in favour of a protectionist EU, pointing out that France still has an industry to support and protect. He also wants the European Central Bank to be more interventionist and is against a referendum on EU constitutional reform. It's hard to see why the Economist is not as superciliously sniffy about him as it is about his centre-left opponent (or Gordon Brown, for that matter, 'The day of the spider' indeed...) Further, given his authoritarian rhetoric and conservative allies (anti both civil union and immigration), I'd say he is far from on the side of Economist-type liberals... Comment originally posted on May 7, 2007 11:20 AM
THE POLLS were right: by 53% to 47%, according to the first estimates, today's presidential election has ended with a convincing victory for the UMP's Nicolas Sarkozy and a humbling—though not humiliating—defeat for the Socialist party's Ségolène Royal. Given that the turnout was a near-record 85% or so, no one can say that Sarko, with all his talk of a "rupture" with the status quo, does not have a popular mandate.
Just how that works out remains to be seen. As I write, I am zapping between the TV channels, watching the "talking heads" of the political elite analyse a result announced, with unblushing certitude, at the very moment that the voting booths closed in Paris (a couple of hours after us folks in the sticks). But before the analysis came the speeches to their supporters by Ms Royal and Mr Sarkozy. Ségo was gracious in defeat, her smile as radiant as ever. Sarko, though, was the more impressive: his speech was an extended promise to work for all French citizens, including those who voted against him and including those at the margins of French society—code for the disaffected, unemployed youth of African and Arab descent who, at least by repute, harbour an intense loathing for the hard-line interior minister turned president-elect. Add a promise to work with France's EU partners, an offer to be friendly (but not submissive) to the United States and a pledge to defend the rights of women (including those condemned to the burka): it all sounded immediately and genuinely presidential.
What of the talking heads? They are lining up on TV1 and France2 (Olivier Besancenot of the Revolutionary Communist League and Bernard Tapie, a Socialist whose past is so colourful that he has been both a government minister and a convict, are sharing the studio at the moment). But the one that has caught my attention was Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a former Socialist finance minister and one of the Socialist party's so-called "elephants".
Perhaps I am biased, since when I lived in Paris DSK was always an amiable source, but contrast DSK's analysis with that of Laurent Fabius, another Socialist "elephant". While Mr Fabius waffles around the reality of Ms Royal's defeat, DSK simply points out that it was "serious" – and the third time in a row that a Socialist candidate has lost a presidential election. Mr Fabius refuses to blame Ms Royal for the Socialists' defeat, and refuses, too, to cast doubt on the ability of her partner, François Hollande, who is first-secretary of the party, to direct the party's strategy for next month's parliamentary elections. There will, says Mr Fabius, be a "collegial" effort for those elections. Frankly, he sounds like yet another smooth-talking politician. I prefer DSK's thesis: the Parti Socialiste needs to reform itself and be "open". In other words, it is time—at long last—for France's Socialists to abandon its Marxist-influenced past and embrace a Social Democrat future. Meanwhile, of course, Sarko's supporters—according to my TV screen—are deservedly celebrating with a pop concert in the Place de la Concorde.

Alan Wake developer Remedy Software is working on a new high-calibre console game which will, hopefully, take the studio's AI to the next level.
The developer is hiring for a gameplay programmer and gameplay/AI programmer on the said "groundbreaking AAA console project."
"We want your help in taking our artificial intelligence, character & enemy behaviour to the next level," the listing notes.
"You will be working on the next iteration of Remedy's in-house engine that was previously used in Alan Wake and Alan Wake's American Nightmare."
Could the new game be Alan Wake 2? Remedy has yet to confirm the sequel's existence, though it may incorporate ideas and approaches from Alan Wake: American Nightmare, an action-focussed Xbox Live Arcade spin-off.
Thanks, Gamerzines.

Brazilian activists painted guerrilla pedestrian lines in the name of safety. The 'urban repair squad' are the visionaries who painted lines all over Sao Paulo, a city infamous for its massive transit chaos.
The pictures prove how the work of these activists has been successful. Cars actually stop for walkers and allow them to pass safely. These ingenious guerrilla painted pedestrian lines may have saved some lives!

In just six months, the grassroots organization has resulted in the building of a Facebook following of nearly 5,000 individuals, a 24-hour telephone hotline for potential adopters, a six-day-a week pound photography team that uploads pictures of animals awaiting adoption to social media sites every day, a website that explains the No Kill mission and the mission of Cleveland for a No Kill City, and the beginnings of a database to track animals coming into and leaving Cleveland Animal Control.
The database will eventually allow for tracking of specific areas of the county from which the most dogs and cats are surrendered/stray, specific information about types of animals surrendered/stray, and other, more detailed analysis.
This data will then allow for targeted work in spay/neuter, owner retention and other areas to reduce intake rates.
Cleveland for a No Kill City has helped changed the kill rate at Cleveland Animal Control from more than 75 percent at this time in 2011, to just 6 percent for November 2012. The conversation has resulted in the city of Cleveland officially declaring its goal of becoming a No Kill City.
A sign was placed on the animal control gate in late November stating the city is striving to become no kill.
On Dec. 10, Cleveland City Manager Janice Casteel informed City Council that former Cleveland for a No Kill City member Lindsey Smith had been appointed to the position of Cleveland/Bradley County, Tennessee Animal Control liaison for Domestic Animal Rescue and Advocacy with a stated mission "to assist the city of Cleveland, Tenn., governing bodies, its citizens, and all invested rescue groups in researching, developing, and implementing a plan by which Cleveland, will be certified No Kill by providing a communicative point of contact and liaison for all animal rescue organizations, all available resources and Cleveland Animal Control staff."
The duties of Smith's new job include assisting in the implementation of the 11 steps in the No-Kill Equation as outlined in Nathan Winograd's 2007 book "Redemption," facilitating the adoption fund that is comprised of money raised by Cleveland for a No Kill City for the sponsorship of animals at Cleveland Animal Control, and speaking to the press on behalf of the city on issues regarding the No Kill movement.
In her new position, Smith reports to the city manager, City Council, shelter advisory board and the animal control director.
To be considered No Kill, a shelter must save 90 percent or more of animals coming into its facility. Through the work of Cleveland for a No Kill City, this save rate has been maintained for the last few months. With the city appointing a position to ensure this success is maintained, Cleveland for a No Kill City is announcing a more limited scope to its work.
The organization will continue to send its pound photography teams into animal control six days a week to photograph new arrivals and share their photos through social media. The grassroots organization will continue to maintain its Facebook page and website, and continue development of its database.
In addition, the 24-hour adoption hotline will continue to be operated by organization volunteers.
Volunteers are being sought to help with answering calls on the hotline, and anyone interested in participating in an upcoming training session should call 464-6070.
In line with the duties assigned to the city-appointed liaison, contacts from rescue organizations wishing to save animals from Cleveland Animal Control will be forwarded to Smith.
Cleveland for a No Kill City volunteers will no longer be facilitating adoptions at animal control because this duty now falls to the liaison. Volunteers will include information on its nightly "save list" about adopters who have called the hotline and need assistance in completing the process at animal control, and Smith with facilitate the adoption process from that point forward.
At its first meeting May 2, Cleveland for a No Kill City organizers set as their goal: "To become a No Kill City by 2017 by reaching and maintaining a save rate above 90 percent."
On Monday evening, through its consensus process, Cleveland for a No Kill City members declared that mission accomplished — four years ahead of schedule.
In addition to continuing to maintain the infrastructure that has allowed for adoption and rescue of the majority of dogs and cats at animal control, Cleveland for a No Kill City has set two new goals for itself for the coming months:
1. To work toward a "No Kill" ordinance. Although the city has formally committed to the goal of No Kill through signage and the creation of the liaison position, Cleveland for a No Kill City doesn't feel like that commitment is solid until it is part of the city's code.
2. To be a watchdog of the No Kill success achieved at Cleveland Animal Control in 2013 and ensure that the success from 2012 is maintained and continues now that the efforts have been placed under the responsibility of an appointed city official.
Cleveland for a No Kill City will monitor daily intake of animals and report their outcomes to the public. The group will monitor monthly shelter statistics and report the saved rates and kill rates to the public. And, it will request a monthly progress report from the liaison detailing progress toward the development of the plan for implementing the 11 steps in the No Kill equation, and the progress toward the implementation of that plan. These monthly progress report requests will also be shared with the public.

Activity from star wars
(page 3)
May The 4th Be With You! One Day Late!Posted by TSG on Wed, May 5th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
In case you didn't know, yesterday (May 4th) was the unofficial holiday known as Star Wars Day, a day where Star Wars fans around the world unite to celebrate the adventures that took place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
TSG happens to be a big Star Wars fan, but we were so busy celebrating the Week of Wins and the launch of Daily Polls that this one just snuck past me. Therefore, I decided to allow you Swaggernauts to channel the Force and go on a Swag Code Hunt.
Here's what you need to do:
- Hop in your X-Wing (or TIE Fighter – no judgements here) and fly over to the Swag Store and search for Star Wars.
- In that first page of results, you'll find 5 items related directly to the Star Wars Universe. On one of those pages is a Star Wars trivia question that you can find the answer to using your Swagbucks search engine. That answer will be the code. Be sure to read the question carefully!
- The answer to that trivia question will be a code worth 11 Swag Bucks. I'll keep this one going until 3:30pm PDT
Good Luck, and May the Fourth Be With You. Always.
