Mel B was spied headed to "X Factor" auditions in Manchester, England earlier today sporting the same $795 Stella McCartney black and white colorblock Evening 2012 dress worn by Alicia Keys and Monica.
While all three ladies opted for black heels, with Mel in Versace, Alicia in Stella McCartney, and Monica in Giuseppe Zanotti, Monica was the only celeb to break up the monotone white and black with a bright green Birkin bag.
The two-tone dress features a form-fitting, knee-length silhouette, and sleeves that measure right above the elbow.
Alicia won the last Who Wore it Better in a landslide, I love how Monica added a bit of color with her bag. And as for Mel B, those shoes seems way to chunky for such a sleek look. What do you think?
*Can't decide? Get the dress, plus versions of each of their heels here:
Images: Zimbio
Alicia looks the best.
Alicia got the shoe Mel got the body and Monica got the purse everyone has there own style I don't like picking them apart I love all of them
Alicia shoe Mel body Monica purse I love them all
Ms Keys is still winning for me!
I like it all 3.
Is it just me or does Mel B look like a black Middleton? I don't know why, but she kinds looks like a black Dutchess Catherine
hope this is the last post on this dress.
@Anonymous It will be…unless someone else decides to wear it (insert evil laugh here)!!!
They all look the same. Monica brought color so im gonna have to go w. her !! But they all look great…
Alicia for the double win! LOL @ Claire!
I would like to vote on two chic's who are not an option! I would love to see Nicki Minaj in something like this! Although her ass would looks ridiculous lol..but she seems to like that..it would seriously compliment her style without going over the top.
And Beyonce would look tooooooooo amazing in this, I would love to see someone with her shape in this dress, I could picture the shoes, hair and everything wither her in this outfit!
but for the sake of the poll I'm def voting alicia, her shoes are the best out of all three ladies! & she looks amazing.
Dead at Claire. Lol tell'em girl :)
Mel B. Her body looks best in it.
I really do like Monica's menthe birkin.
Umm….Mel B's body does not work for this dress…plus it looks like she is slouching. I think Monica and Alicia look great in the dress, but I adore Alicia's overall execution of the dress.
They all look the same to me! lol
Mel B.
Monica Brown
I can't believe I will say this… But Mel B's body is perfect for the dress.
Hmmm…I wonder why no one wore a color shoe??? So Monica wins for pair up her green tote. @Claire lml! love it ;)
they all look pretty.
Me, because i would take Alicia's shoes and Monica's Bag.
Alicia & Mel B look great, sorry Monica, but the dress needs a curvier figure .
WHO SELLS THIS DRESS? i WANT IT.

Pineapple Palms Beach Cottages
This place was so wonderful. Very clean and everything was there that we needed. We were celebrating my daughter and husband's birthday and wished we would have taken a whole week. We enjoyed the puzzles and games that were provided too. Instruction was on the TV and grills which was a blessing and easy to understand. I planned on renting the cottages again. I am getting ready to check to see what she has available. Would highly recommend for families and good friends! Thanks Shelly for a great get away. We really enjoyed it!

Katy Perry's Concert Pic Hits Theaters July 5
Paramount will open 3D concert pic Katy Perry: Part of Me on Thursday, July 5, looking to take advantage of the long holiday weekend.
The film, which will go out through the studio's Insurge label, opens two days after Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man and hopes to serve as counterprogramming to four-quadrant popcorn fare.
PHOTOS: The Best (and Worst) Moments of AMAs 2011
Paramount is partnering on the film with EMI -- which will co-finance the project -- AEG, Direct Management and Imagine Entertainment. It documents the international superstar's recent California Dreams Tour as well as her life offstage.
Magical Elves, the powerhouse producing duo of Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz behind some of the biggest reality and nonscripted TV, will direct the movie, while Craig Brewer (Footloose) will executive produce.
Perry began documenting her California Dreams Tour, consisting of 124 performances, more than a year ago. Her management team at Direct Management soon brought AEG into the project to film two of the shows at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The partnership with Imagine followed.
"I am so excited to paint the silver screen in 3D color with help from our friends at Paramount and Imagine," Perry said. "For the last year and a half, I have intimately documented my life both on and off the stage of the California Dreams Tour. I want to take you behind the cotton-candy clouds and reveal the highs and lows, nuts and bolts of this extraordinary ride. I promise you, after seeing this film, you will truly know me."
Paramount was the studio behind Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, which became the most successful music documentary at the domestic box office, grossing $73 million. The pic was released via the studio's Insurage label, headed by Amy Powell.
Paramount Film Group president Adam Goodman said the Perry project was a natural fit. "We're beyond excited to offer her fans, who inspired this movie, and moviegoers everywhere this once-in-a-lifetime look into her world and capture a moment in time."

What's Inside
Welcome to ELJ number four. When I started working on this column I was thinking about how fast time seemed to be moving. It seems like I just wrote the column for issue three a short time ago. Things just keep moving so fast in the embedded-OS space it seems like more time must have passed. I guess Doc Searls has the same feeling. See his article, ``Living on Protoreal Time'' on page 8.
Last month I attended the Embedded Systems Conference in San Francisco. It was a great chance to get to meet people from other embedded companies and see how embedded Linux was doing. I found a lot of companies that were using Linux as the embedded OS in their products. If their use seemed interesting, I twisted their arms to get them to write articles for ELJ. Expect to see quite a few case studies in the next couple of issues.
Of particular interest was the Embedded Linux Consortium (ELC) meeting. The idea of an embedded-Linux standard had been out there, but there was no serious work up until the show. At the meeting, the vendors started talking to each other and the ball got rolling very quickly. I asked Murry Shohat of ELC if he would put together the story of what happened and what will happen. The article on page 46 by Murry and Inder Singh is the result. This is important stuff--I encourage you to get involved.
The product on the cover is the Galleo. Linux Journal Editor in Chief, Richard Vernon, saw the unit at CeBIT in Germany and was excited about it. I contacted the manufacturer and the article by David Benenstein tells the story better than I do (see page 14). The system in the picture is a preproduction unit. By the time you see this magazine the Galleo should be available.
Many people have thought of Linux as an x86-based OS. While most Linux desktops run on x86 processors, that has more to do with the commodity nature of the common PC than with where Linux can fit. In this issue you will see what I mean. The first example is the Galleo. Next is Cyclades PPC-based terminal server (see page 30). If those two success stories get you thinking about x86 alternatives, ``Embedded Linux on PowerPC'' should give you some insight into getting your software up and running on a non-x86 platform (see page 36).
Finally, there are lots of embedded systems where some sort of mass storage is needed, but rotating storage just isn't the right answer. If you have been thinking of using a Flash filesystem, make sure you read ``Flash Filesystems for Embedded Linux Systems'' (see page 22). There is more than one choice, and this article shows you the choices and how your right solution is likely to be a combination of choices.

SYSTEM FOR HUMIDIFICATION F ENCLOSURES Luther Bailey, Charlotte, N .C., assignor to Parks-Cranmer Company, a corporation of Massachusetts Filed June 24, 1957, Ser. No. 667,360
6 Claims. (Cl. 236-44) MOD ULA'IlIN G This invention relates to improvements in humidifying systems and methods for controlling the humidity in enclosures. The invention relates particularly to .systemsusing humidifiers of the atomizer type to which air is, fed under superatmospheric pressure and to which water is fed either under superatmospheric pressure or 2,979,266 Patented Apr. 11, 1961 and the humidity control system will become readjusted to maintain a lower room humidity. As far as I know, the Loepsinger apparatus has never been used commercially.
Another means for directly varying the water level to asystem of atomizer'humidifiers of the suction type is from a reservoir in which water is ordinarily maintained at a level below the outlet nozzles of the humidifiers.
When water is not under positive pressure at the atomizers but instead is maintained in a container in which the level is below the humidifiers, compressed air issuing from an atomizer nozzle causes a negative pressure to exist in the water passages in the nozzle and in the water supply pipe, and thus induces a flow of water through the nozzle from the lower level of the container. Humidifying systems operating in this fashion have been widely used in textile mills and other industrial plants for .Such atomizer systems are commonly referred to synonymously as of the gravity or suction type. 1
'In the usual atomizer system of the gravity or suction type humidification operates alternately on a ffull-on and full-oil basis. Control is usually'automatic in accordance with the relative humidity of the room atmosphere. Whenever compressed air is -supplied to the humidifiers, water is caused to flow and a fine'spray or fog issues. When the air flow is shut oh, the spray stops.
Heretofore as far as I know, no satisfactorymethod the atmospheric conditions and connected to a toggle lin k age, a valve in the main water supply pipe, and along vertical float, Loepsinger maintains a water level in the tank directly related to the room condition and thereby limits the output of each atomizer fed from the supply tank. Although Loepsinger recommends using a humidity controller to shut his atomizer off abruptly when humidity rises close to the maximum level desired, he states that the controller (not shown) may be omitted under certain conditions. When used, this controller serves to limit the extent of modulation of mositure output of the atomizers. However, with or without the controller, it is only when the atomizers operate over a considerable range'of variation in water level that the Loepsinger invention is of any significance. When so operated the Loepsinger method has the inherent disadvantage that if the system is maintaining the desired room humidity with output of the humidifiersreduced automatically by the humidity regulator, then as one or more atomizers become dirty and less etficient in atomizing effect, the amount of waterdischarged will decrease disclosed in French Patent No. 587,315 to Lanquetin dated April 16, 1925. Lanquetins means consisted of supporting a water supply reservoir on a cable running over a fixed pulley, whereby the entire reservoir could be raised or lowered to any desired position relative to the humidifiers. I know of no commercial use ever being made of this apparatus. Space limitations in the ordinary room'a'nd the necessity of using flexible water connections or their equivalent contribute to the impracticab'ility'of this method. I
' Attempts to vary the output of atomizer humidifiers of the'suction type by varying the air pressure while maintaining a constant water level have proved impracticable. With'the water level maintained only slightly below the humidifiers, any reduction in air pressure suflicient to reduce'appreciably the rate of spray output usually results in the spray becoming too coarse. Fine spray and consequent 'quick evaporation ofthe spray particles are con-' i sidered essential in proper humidification of most industrial plants.
Attempts to vary output of atomizer humidifiers of th suction type by merely inserting a valve in the water pipe between the water tank andthe humidifiers of the conventional system also have been unsatisfactory. As soon as the flow of water is throttled by use of such'a valve; performance of the humidifiers is likely to become very erratic. When flow of water through the valve becomes less'than the atomizers are delivering, the partial vacuum in the water pipe immediately increases and spray output is thus reduced. Under these circumstances reliable modulation of spray output. of the humidifiersis difiicult .to secure and so far as I am aware has never been achieved on a commercial basis. I
T "It the foregoing arrangement is modified by'adding a vent'to, atmosphere in the water pipe between the valve andlso'r ne of the atomizers, throttling of the valve results in vliinitingfiowof waterto the atomizers, but since water level does not change appreciably the atomizers will con-- tinue to spray at" close to their full evaporative capacity until water in the pipe between valve and humidifiers is used up, whereupon the atomizers will stop spraying until 'flow through the valve provides an additional supply.-v Under these conditions operation of the atomizers will be characterized by alternate spraying and no spray.- ing orspasmodic spitting. I i One object; of the present invention is to provide a simple,'practical, and economical means of modulating the evaporative output of atomizer humidifiers by use of throttling valve in the water supply pipe with added means beyond the-valve for ensuring smooth operation of the humidifiers at reduced output, thus to keep room humidity conditions more uniform.
Another object of the invention is to provide means to convert an atomizer systemwhich' is designed to operate with. water aswell as air always under superatmospherie pressure to a system in which water pressure is varied all the way from 'superatmospheric to subatmospheric and to modulate the spray output of such humidifiers over a wide range. I Another object of the invention is to provide a ,deep pocket, U, or equivalent, in the water pipe to the humidifiers of an atomizer system of the gravity or suction type together with a gradual-acting valve at thewater supply end of this pipe, whereby whenthe rate of flow of water through theyalve is reduced to less than the total otspray output of the humidifiers operating on-the pipe,
a lower water level will be established in the pocket and the humidifiers will continue to deliver spray but at the reduced rate as a result of the increased lift.
Another object of the invention is to provide a gradualacting valve in the compressed air supply pipe to an atomizer system of either of the modified types mentioned in the two preceding paragraphs which air valve is operated in conjunction with the gradual-acting water valve so that as the flow of water is restricted air pressure will simultaneously be reduced, thus to lessen the amount of air supplied to the humidifiers with resulting economy in operation of the system.
It is clear that the basic principle of the invention lies in restricting the rate of water supply and in independently permitting a variable water level to be maintained in a pocket in or otherwise associated with the water pipe to a system of atomizer humidifiers, so that total moisture output of the humidifiers will quickly it become equal to the reduced rate of flow through the valve. The various objects outlined above and others will be apparent from the following description, accompanying drawings and claims.
An illustrative embodiment of the invention is shown by the drawings in which Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic elevational view of a typical humidifying system embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is a detailed view largely in section of a typical atomizer of the self-cleaning type.
Fig. 3 is a similar view of a typical atomizer not having the self-cleaning feature.
Fig. 4 shows the water supply portion of Fig. l modified to apply to a system of atomizers designed to operate with water as well as air under superatmospheric pressure.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of part of the piping shown in Fig. 1.
Fig. 6 is a modified form of piping capable of acting in the same manner as that of Fig. 5.
Fig. 7 is still another modified form of piping.
Referring to Fig. l, a typical system of atomizers of the gravity or suction type for vaporizing water within an enclosure includes a horizontal water pipe 2, an air pipe 4, atomizers 6, and constant level water tank 8. Compressed air at some convenient pressure such as pounds per square inch gage enters the system through pipe 10 from a compressor plant not shown. Operation of atomizers 6 is usually controlled automatically by a humidity sensitive regulator of a suitable type represented as 12 to which compressed air is piped through pipe 14 at a predetermined pressure which may be controlled by pressure reducing valve 13. Air pressure from humidistat 12 is piped through pipe 16 to valve 18 in main air supply pipe 19 leading to pipe 4 to which the humidifiers are connected.
Water pipe 2 to which the humidifiers are also connected receives water through pipe 20 from constant level water tank 8. Normal water level shown at 22 is usually about 4" below the water orifice 24 (see Figs. 2 and 3) of the atomizer, such water level usually being maintained by water valve 26 at the end of water pipe 25 connected to any convenient water supply under pressure. Water valve 26 is controlled by ball float 28 in the well known manner. A removable overflow pipe 29 open at top and bottom and connected to drainage below provides a safeguard against possible failure of valve 26 to close when the proper water level is reached. A water strainer such as 30 in the outlet of tank 8 is customarily included and a loose fitting cover 32 over the tank provides an additional means to prevent dust, etc. from entering the water system.
Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, whenever atmospheric humidity in the enclosure is less than the percentage. for which humidistat 12 is adjusted, control pressure in pipe 16 keeps normally closed valve 18 in open position allowing compressed air to reach humidifiers 6 through pipes 4 19 and 4, air inlet 34 and front air chamber 36. Air from chamber 36 finds its way through a restricted passage 37 to rear air chamber 38. Pressure of air in chamber 38 keeps diaphragm 40 expanded hard to the right as shown, holding water tip 42 with air cleanout surface 44 as well as water cleanout pin 46 and all associated movable parts in right hand positions against compressed helical spring 48. Air from chamber 36 issues through annular air orifice 47 as a cylinder of high velocity air surrounding water orifice 24. This issuing air induces a partial vacuum in water orifice 24, water chamber 50, water inlet 52, and water connecting tube 54. In the face of this partial vacuum, atmospheric pressure on the surface of the water in tank 8 forces Water upwardly through tube 54, through the humidifier and outwardly via orifice 24, with resulting generation of spray of sufficient fineness to be evaporated more or less satisfactorily into the atmoshpere of the enclosure under ordinary conditions of temperature and humidity.
When humidity of the room atmosphere rises to an extent which causes humidistat 12 to respond, control pressure in pipe 16 is reduced and valve 18 closes abruptly, flow of air to humidifiers 6 ceases and no spray issues. As previously stated, this conventional system of humidification consisting of the elements just described has the disadvantage of operating intermittently full-on and full-olf with resulting alternate over-humidification and under-humidification of the enclosure.
Now referring further to Fig. 1, a preferred embodiment of the invention consists of using in combination '6 a deep pocket is built into the water conduit. Desirable depth and cross-sectional area of this pocket are referred to below. This pocket may take the form of a U in the piping as shown at 64 in Figs. 1 and 5 or some equivalent such as shown in Fig. 6 may be used. The pocket 64 comprises first and second legs 74 and 75. It is advisable that this pocket be vented to the atmosphere as indicated at 66 in Figs. 1 and 5 and at 67 in Fig. 6. It is further advisable that provision be made for occasional drainage of the pocket by a connection to waste shown at 68 in which is located hand valve 70 of any convenient type.
For the purposes of more easily securing a wide range in evaporative output of the humidifiers as well as better economy in the use of compressed air, an automatic gradual-acting valve 72 in air pipe 19 to the humidifiers may be used in conjunction with automatic gradual-acting water valve 58 in water pipe 20. Desirably these gradualacting valves are controlled simultaneously by compressed air at variable pressure from the humidistat 12 through pipe 60. Control pressure to valve 58 and/or valve 72 is indicated by gage 62 at any convenient point. When gradual-acting air valve 72 is used and when pocket 64 is of ample depth it may be considered unnecessary to use the full-on and full-ofi air valve 18.
The preferred embodiment of the combination system of the invention illustrated by Fig. l operates as follows: When the humidifying system is put into operation after a shut-down period, room humidity is usually well below the desired level. When starting the system, normally closed air and water valves 18 and 58 will open and pipes 20, 64, 2 and 54. will fill with water to the normal level 22. The water lift from level 22 to the atomizer orifice 24 is about 4". Consequently the humidifiers will start operating at their full normal evaporative output under the influence of air pressure supplied through" pipe 4. As room humidity approaches the percentage for which humidistat is adjusted, pressure in air control pipe 60 gradually decreases. Normally closed but now open water valve 58 begins to restrict the flow of water in pipe 20. As soon as this flow becomes less than the total rate at which all the humidifiers 6 are together delivering spray to the atmosphere, the water level in pipe or leg 74 of pocket 64 immediately begins to drop from its initial level at 22 or A. As a result of the water level falling to some lower point B, the lift against which the atomizers operate is increased. Consequently with the air pressure to the humidifiers remaining constant the amount of spray or fog which the humidifiers 6 deliver is reduced.
As relative humidity in the atmosphere of the enclosure rises still-closer to the percentage for which humidistat 12 is adjusted, water valve 58 further restricts the flow of water in pipe 20. If weather conditions, etc. remain unchanged, a stable condition in the rate of'humidificatiou will be'reached when the water level in pipe'or leg 74 of pocket 64 drops to some point C. Total output of the humidifiers then may be only a small fraction of what it was when the water level was at A.
Any change in the rate of humidification required to maintain the predetermined percentage of humidity for which humidistat 12 is adjusted will cause the humidity to rise or fall. This rise or fall will be promptly sensed by humidistat 12 and will result directly in a change in the restrictive effect of valve 58 and indirectly in water level C in pipe 74 and in the rate at which spray is discharged from the humidifiers. Thus the humidifiers may continue to operate for indefinite periods, their output being modulated from time to time as required by humidistat 12 so as to maintain room humidity at or near the desired percentage.
When under conditions of restricted flow of water through valve 58 one or more ofthe humidifiers 6 be-' comes dirty or for some other reason less efficient in atomizing ability, reduction in total spray output will immediately'result in a rise in water level in pipe 74 (flow through valve 58 being unchanged) which in turn will increase spray output particularly of those humidifiers which are'in good operating condition, thus restoring totalspray output to agree with the rate of flow of water through valve 58. It is to be emphasized that water level in pocket 64 is not directly controlled when fiow through valve 58 is restricted, but is allowed to assume any posi tion it will, dependent upon the water lift necessary to make total evaporative output equal exactly the controlled rate of flow of water through valve 58 and/or valve '56. 4 I
If, for example, the system contains, ten atomizers and if with output restricted they are delivering a total of 60 pounds of water per hour to the room (an average of 6 pounds per atomizer) and one atomizer stops spraying, then the output of the remaining nine atomizers will he stepped up to deliver the same total of 60 pounds of water per hour, because the water level in pocket 64 will rise to ahigher level and each of the nine atomizers will then deliver on the average 6% pounds. per hour instead of'the previous 6 pounds per hour. Conversely in the above case restoration of the stopped atomizer to service will not increase total output because the water level will then fall to a point at which the output of all atomizers equals the flow through valve 58.
When, as is desirable, gradual-acting air valve 72 is. usedalong with or in place of on-and-off valve 18, evaporative output of humidifiers 6 is affected by the variable air pressure supplied to them as well as by the variable water level in'pocket' 64. The importance of these variations is illustrated in thefollowing table, which shows pounds of water evaporated per hour per atomizer at diflerent water levels and at ditterent air pressures as de- 6 termined by actual tests on atypical atomizer of the type shown in Fig. 3.
Pounds of water evaporated per hour per atomizer,
As previously stated, normal Water level 'for full capacity operation is 4" below the atomizer. Note that at afixed air. pressure of 30 pounds per square inch evaporative output varies from 8.0 pounds per hour at normal 4" water level to 1.9 pounds per hour at a water level46" below atomizer. At 4" water level, reducing air pressure from 30 pounds to 20 pounds reduces evaporative output from to 6.3 pounds or 21 percent. When' water level is 46 inches below atomizer the same decrease in air pressure reduces evaporative output from 1.9 to .4 pounds, or 79. percent. The effectiveness of changes in both waterlevel and air pressure is thus clearly demonstrated.
Anadditional advantagein varying air pressure as water level is varied results .from thesaving in compressed air atthe lower pressures. In cases where still further, saving in compressed air is desirable, the on-and ofl air; valve 18 may be used as well as the gradual-acting air valve 72. ,The onand-oif valve 18 shuts off the atom izer-s entirely at some pretetermined point of low evaporative output represented by a small deficit in the prevailingroom relative humidity as compared with the established value.
In some instances it may be desirable to limit the outputof the humidifiers when room temperature is low,
as on starting the system on a cool morning, even though a room humidity may be very low. In such cases humidistat 12 may have associated with it a thermostat to re-. strict air pressure in pipe 60 to valve 58 and so limit maximum outputof the humidifiers until room tempera: ture reaches a predetermined level. This thermostat may be of'any suitable type and may be entirely separate and independent of humidistat 12. In. some instances a thermostat may be the only instrument automatically controlling valve 58, humidistat 12 being dispensed with.
In other instances where close control of room humidity is not essential both humidistat and thermostat may be omitted, control of moisture output of humidifiers 6 being by manual adjustment of valve 56 as previously described.
The invention is applicable to a wide variety of atomw izer systems of the gravity or suction type of which the layout diagrammatically shown in Fig. 1 is a typical example, and in which the atomizing nozzles may be of any design such. that spray will be discharged by air under superatmospheric pressure when water pressure at the nozzle is subatmospheric. Figs. 2 and 3 are two rep: resentative examples of such nozzles.
Some atomizing nozzles designed particularly for operation with both water and air under superatmospheric pressure are capable of operating also with air only 1111?. der superatmospheric pressure. An example of these is shown in-U.S. Patent No. 2,623,782 to Gustafson. If
to the atomizers under controlled superatmospheric pres-f sure. Fig. 4 shows diagrammatically howthe invention is applied to a humidifying system of this type, the ,re-
maining portion of the installation to the left of pocket 64b being essentially the same as in Fig. 1.
Operation of the system of Fig. 4 is as follows: With humidifiers spraying and relative humidity in the enclosure increasing to near the percentage for which humidistat 12 is adjusted, water valve 58b gradually restricts flow of water in pipe 20b. Check valve 82 prevents water from escaping through vent 66b while water in pipe 74b is under superatmospheric pressure. As room relative humidity rises closer to the predetermined level, valve 581) closes further whereupon pressure in pipe 20b eventually falls below atmospheric and a variable water level is established in pipe 74b of the pocket. This permits continuous operation of the humidifiers at a rate of spray output which may be modulated reliably over a very much wider range than would be possible without the novel control means. If desired modulation may be achieved by use of hand valve 56b instead of automatic valve 58b.
A modification of the pocket construction of Fig. 5 is disclosed in Fig. 6. This arrangement in no way changes the operation of the system as applied to atomizer of the gravity or suction type. It provides a piping construction which may be preferred in certain installations. It is applicable if constant level water tank 8 is used or if water is supplied directly under pressure to pipe 20.
The gradual-acting valve 58 is connected by a pipe 84 to pipe 86 by means of the fitting 88. The lower end of pipe 86 has a coupling 90 permitting connection to a valve 92 by pipe section 94. The upper end of pipe 86 is closed by a fitting 96 vw'th an outlet 98 leading to a fitting 106 from the upper side of which extends vent pipe 102. Within vent pipe 102 and spaced from the mterior walls thereof is the upper end of overflow pipe 104 which leads downwardly to fitting 106 which is connected to valve 92 and open drain pipe 108.
Within the pipe or leg 86 is smaller pipe or leg 110, the lower end of which is open as at 111. Pipe 110 extends through the upper end of fitting 96 in a watertight manner and is connected with pipe 2.
From the foregoing description of the construction of F g. 6, it can be seen that water passing through valve 58 Wlll flow through pipe 84 into pipe 86 and thence upwardly through smaller pipe 110 entering at the open lower end 111 to pass through pipe 2 and associated connections 54 to the atomizers 6. The pipes or legs 86 and 110 together constitute the equivalent of the pocket disclosed in Figs. 1 and 5 and the level 112 of the water in pipe 86 will be the same at any moment as it would be if pocket 64 or 77 were used.
The overflow mechanism of Fig. 6 is designed to limit the maximum water level to the upper end 114 of over-- fiow pipe 104. The upper end 114 is preferably a little less than four inches below the outlets of the humidifiers such as 24 in Figs. 2 and 3. As the water level rises in pipe 86 as, for example, by increased opening of valve 58, the water will under some circumstances pass laterally through connection 98 to rise in short pipe 102 until (in cases where there is no controlling means such as valve 26 of Fig. 1) it may overflow into the open upper end 114 of overflow pipe 104 from which it will rurr to the drain through open pipe 198. Valve 92 is normally closed but may be opened in order to drain pipes 2, 110 and 86 if desired during periods of non-operation of the humidifying system.
As in Fig. 5, hand valve 56 may be inserted in water line 84 of Fig. 6 for use in conjunction with or in place of automatic valve 53. In cases where the construction of Fig. 6 is used, including valve 58, and where constant level water tank 8 is dispensed with, it is important that water piping be of proper size and that valve 58 be of suitable water flow and pressure characteristics to furnish all the Water which may be needed for full capacity operation of all humidifiers 6 without, at the same time,
8 producing pressure enough for the water to rise above end 114 of overflow pipe 104 and to waste excessively when valve 58 is open. Commercial valves are available to meet required specifications of valve 58 in a variety of cases.
In some installations embodying the invention one or more pockets of the type illustrated at 77 of Fig. 1 may be employed and pocket 64 or 86 need not be used. Pocket 77 is comprised of first and second legs 79 and 81. When a pocket of type 77 is located elsewhere than at the end of the water line, it may be attached in the same manner preferably as illustrated at 99 in Fig. 7 or pipe 77 may be attached to pipe 2 between humidifiers. This pocket which comprise first and second legs 79 and 81 desirably includes a vent 78 and means for occasional drainage, as at 80.
If desired, pipes or tubes 74, 79or 86 may be made of transparent material so that water level therein may be visible.
The preferred depth of pocket 64, 77 or 86 is dependent (1) upon the characteristics of atomizers 6 to be used in the system, (2) upon the maximum and minimum pressures to be maintained in air pipe 4 when atomizers 6 are-delivering spray, and (3) upon whether it is desired to modulate the rate of spray output from maximum all the way down to zero or to some other predetermined minimum. The invention imposes no definite limitation on the amount of variation in water level which may be involved. If, for example, the air pressure in pipe 4 to the humidifiers is to be maintained constantly at 30 pounds per square inch gage and if it is desired to modulate spray output from maximum down to zero, tests may be run on one or more atomizers of the type to be used and with water level variably maintained to determine the maximum lift against which these particular atomizers will continue to deliver spray. This lift may be as much as six feet or more in some instances. In cases where air presure in pipe 4 is to he say, 20 pounds gage instead of 30m if air pressure is to be reduced gradually and simultaneously with restriction in flow of water through valve 58, maximum lift at which spray ceases will be correspondingly lessened. In cases where on-andoif air valve 18 is to be used there can be a still further reduction in the maximum lift to be provided for. In any case the maximum distance from atomizers 6 to the effective bottom of the water pocket should be at least equal to the maximum lift required under any optional circumstances which may be expected to exist. This can be readily determined by the designer of the system after one or more trial operations.
The preferred vertical location of water line 2 is two or three inches below the normal water level 22 in tank 8, or six to seven inches below outlet 24 of atomizers 6. It is customary practice to locate atomizers 6 well overhead, perhaps nine or ten feet above the floor. In some installations it may be more convenient to extend water tubes 54 downwardly to pass through the floor and to relocate pipe 2 at the ceiling of the floor below. This produces an unusually deep water pocket.
The preferred cross-sectional area of the leg of the water pocket in which a variable water level is maintained, such as'74 of Figs. 1 and 5, 79 of Figs. 1 and 7, or annular area at 112 of Fig. 6, is approximately the same as the internal cross-sectional area of water pipe 2. This area should be small enough to insure that the height of the water level will respond quickly to variations in rate of flow of water through valve 58 and/or valve 56, or to variations in moisture output of humidifiers 6, or to the difference between these rates at any particular time.
It is to be emphasized that the particular embodiments of the invention described herein are of an illustrative character and not restrictive. Various changes in form, construction and arrangement of parts may he made within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is:

Time: 30 minutes prep + 30-40 min baking + time to cool and frost
Yield: One 9 x 13 pan
Brownie Recipe from my mother in law Jill Eskelson
Frosting Recipe from The Lion House
1 C butter, softened
2 C sugar
4 eggs
8 T cocoa powder
1 1/2 C flour
dash salt
1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1/2 C sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla
dash salt
1/4 C butter
1/2 C cocoa
4-6 T milk
1 1/2 t vanilla
3-4 C powdered sugar
1. To make the brownie batter, beat the butter, sugar and eggs until creamed together nicely. Should take about 3-4 minutes.
2. In a separate bowl combine the flour, cocoa and dash of salt. Pour the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture and mix until all is well combined.
3. Spray an 9 x 13 pan with cooking spray. Spread about 2/3 of your Brownie Batter into the pan.
4. Let's make the Cream Cheese Batter! Beat your cream cheese until nice and smooth. Add the other ingredients and beat for about 3 minutes.
5. Pour it right on top of your Brownie Batter.
6. Spread it all around.
7. Take the rest of your Brownie Batter and spoon it onto your Cream Cheese Batter.
8. Spread the top layer of Brownie Batter around just a bit. You don't want to mix the two batters up too much. They just need to be marbled a bit.
If you stick your knife strait up into the air you can make pretty patterns like this. But seriously...it doesn't matter much. They just need to be marbled together.
9. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes clean out of the center.
10. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
11. To make the frosting melt your butter in a glass measuring cup.
Pour the cocoa into the melted butter and stir well to make a thick paste.
12. Pour just 2 T of the milk into the chocolate paste and stir until smooth.
13. In a large mixing bowl combine 3 C powdered sugar, the chocolate paste, vanilla and 2 more T milk. Beat the frosting. As it begins to come together add more milk until it is smooth and glossy. If it's too runny add more powdered sugar and beat well.
14. Spread the frosting over the top of your cooled brownies.

... 1 - Flew into Belfast and met Kelsey Thompson (quality lady). Went out for breakfast and then to Giant's Causeway and then to Port Steward/Rush then back to Kelsey's house to meet all her amazing friends (also quality). Haven't laughed so hard since I we have been away. Thanks guys!
Day 2 - Went to Kelsey's Church (quality too) then went to the Titanic Museum. Awesome (and quality). Explored the streets of Belfast and saw some murals as we learnt ...
Last Night with BRD

realize that this wasn't as hard as I made it out to be. The cab came and we were off. The cab drivers have been exceptionally nice and are very friendly. Tonight's driver wanted to know what was in my heavy case. That spurred the talk about derby. He was totally intrigued and said he didn't even know that it existed in Belfast. Seems to be the theme of ...

I can't explain what a relief it was to have a secured graduate job BEFORE starting my final year in uni. My uni mates were very envious. And rightly so, because not only had I secured a graduate job with Sainsbury's, but also a place on a scheme that sounds too good to be true - Sainsbury's Taste The World Scheme......(TTW)

Welcome to the "Avian Cognitive Ecology" lab of uOttawa!
Cognition, a suite of neural processes including learning, memory and decision-making, determines how individuals interact with their environment, and therefore impacts on a range of ecological and evolutionary processes. The major goal of my research is to understand how cognitive processes are shaped by natural selection. My research is focused on avian foraging and social behaviour, using experiments in the field and in aviaries, as well as comparative methods. I use an integrated approach, drawing from behavioural ecology, evolutionary ecology and experimental psychology.

OLYMPICS; Style Points
By WILLIAM L. HAMILTON
Published: August 5, 2004
It used to be a come as you are affair.
The athletes competing in the first modern Olympics in Athens in 1896 wore their own sports clothes or private athletic club uniforms in competition. They wore shorts and singlets, with the occasional Beau Brummel like the United States hurdler Alvin Kraenzlein, who was in an Eton collar and cravat in Paris in 1900, or a fashion maverick like the discus thrower Martin Sheridan, who won the gold in London in 1908 wearing garters.
But when the Games open in Athens next week, the athletes' apparel will be anything but happenstance, from the merchandising possibilities to the political implications.
In an acknowledgment of the global opportunity for merchandising, as well as performance and pride, the United States team, like many other teams, will be wearing five different uniforms: one each for the opening and closing ceremonies, a uniform to compete in, a podium uniform for accepting medals and an official village uniform as casual wear.
Costume changes have become something of an Olympic event.
The official United States team uniforms for Athens were designed by two companies to broaden sales appeal for retail versions of what the Olympic athletes will wear -- from downtime to competition, something for everyone. And individual United States teams and individual American athletes have allegiances to other companies showcasing their own products and technologies.
United States officials said that the 2004 designs were not toned down because of the war in Iraq or the sensitive nature of the United States' presence on the world stage. They are more evocative of a country that anyone could be fond of -- Great Gatsby-style golf caps, not the gunslingers' cowboy hats of Sarajevo in the winter of 1984 or the flag-waving patriotism of the star-spangled gymnasts' uniforms in Los Angeles that summer.
Spokesmen for Roots and Adidas said that the designs were developed two to three years ago, involved no deliberation on how to fine-tune or spin the image of the United States, and had not been amended since they were conceived.
''There was no discussion of making the athletes less conspicuous as Americans,'' said Michael Budman, a co-founder of Roots, who was speaking from Greece, where he is attending the Games with his family.
Budman, a United States citizen who has lived in Canada for 25 years, added: ''It's a difficult time, but reality is not what perception has been made out to be. I don't think the world is down on the U.S.''
The U.S.O.C.'s director of marketing, Cheryl Herbert, explained that the move away from iconic uniform designs, like cowboy clothing, was a more general trend, prompted by the athletes.
''We've stopped looking at it as a uniform, but as providing athletes with athletic fashion,'' she said. ''It's team psychology. If the athletes aren't comfortable wearing cowboy boots and hats, that's going to affect performance. They want everyday apparel. The costumes have dissipated.''
Roots, a Canadian company that designed uniforms for the United States team for Salt Lake City in 2002, is responsible for the uniforms the athletes will wear for the opening and closing ceremonies.
They include a loose, vintage-looking basketball shirt and a twill golf cap that can be worn front to back, back to front, or sideways, depending on how street-fashionable the athletes choose to be.
Roots is strong on casual wear, Herbert said.
''We wanted it to be fashion relevant, so kids would view the Olympics as cool,'' Chester Wheeler, director of corporate sales and licensing for the Olympic committee, said.
Roots' beret for the United States in Salt Lake City was a bestseller: More than a million, at $19.95 each, were sold, including one to the musician Sheryl Crow, and a bagful to Katie Couric for her NBC production crew.
Revenue from the 2002 designs was more than $40 million, which Roots expects to surpass with its Athens line because summer sportswear is generally more popular than winter gear.
Adidas, which has its headquarters in Germany, has designed the track-suit podium uniforms and the village wear.
''The Adidas line is more athletic and performance-driven,'' Herbert said. ''You might wear it to work out.''
Adidas worked with 20 other countries on designs for Athens, distinguishing teams with national colors, not individual silhouettes or elements of traditional dress. Adidas offered two shapes.
Countries like the United States, Greece and Germany had first pick, Bernd Feldmann, Adidas's corporate public relations director for the Olympics, said. That design was not offered to countries like Romania and Hungary.
Roots also outfitted Canada, Britain and Barbados, making national distinctions with subtle references. Britain's outfits are a shade of ecru, or off-white, which is associated with Fred Perry, the British tennis player, Budman said.
The parade of athletes at the opening ceremony on Aug. 13 will have aspects of the international parade television viewers and spectators have become familiar with. National uniforms, however, date to 1906, to an event in Greece that is not recognized officially by the International Olympic Committee.

A new trial is being sought for the youngest person executed in the U.S. in the 20th century
When George Stinney Jr was executed in 1944, he became the youngest to be put to death in the U.S. in the 20th century. But now, there is a campaign to have his case re-examined, because many believe he was the victim of a miscarriage of justice. In 1944
