The Truth About Klingons
One of the biggest things I see in game is a lack of understanding about just who are the Klingons as a people?
What makes them tick? ... Who are they?
This thread is for Klingon players (and fans of Klingons) to talk about who they are as a people.
My hope is that it will help foster understanding of the culture behind these great people as well as help us flesh out our Klingon persona for game play.
Let me begin by saying that I am currently reading "The Klingon Way" and want to quote the following from its back cover:
So let us begin as .... "We are KLINGONS!"
My one real request is that we remain on topic, not use this as a stage to champion Klingon content or to begin a cultural war.
Ie. ... Please speak with honor and respect at all times.
They because a race that in its origins (as far as story goes) were originally driven towards walking their path through life without fear in as honorable a fashion as possible.
For me ... Whenever I think of Klingons, I think of the Vikings and Celts.
I think of the earlier tribes of Europe and lets face it ... many of us of European heritage are descended from tribes who walked a warrior's path.
But just because you are a warrior does not mean you have to walk a path of simple death and destruction.
For the Klingon people, honor *was* and *is* a way of life.
It is so much more than a word spoken and easily forgotten as they lived it even as they walked the good road with firm steps that were strengthened by spirit and heart.
If you followed the Star Trek series (especially The Next Generation and Deep Space 9) you are familiar with the character Worf -- a Klingon orphan who was raised by humans and joined Starfleet.
He held within his heart an image of what a true Klingon warrior should be and he held himself to that standard ... walking a path in story that tried to honor that standard.
What I see the Klingons as being are a race where many of their kind had stepped away from the path and become somewhat lost for a time --- one of the reasons I see the Empire as being divided and something supported by the Klingon fiction books I've read.
Also a reason the cloned Emperor Kahless was created.
If they find their way back to the path of honor, they are more in balance with all that surrounds them.
What kind of sources would be alright for this discussion?
I ask because we had a different discussion a few months back where we used the IKS Gorkon novels and also some comics as important sources.
NOTE ... I should have searched the forum first before posting ... so pointing everyone to the following thread .... http://forums.startrekonline.com/sho...d.php?t=190700
I recommend this thread be closed and people continue discussions there to keep it from getting fragmented.
Thanks to Mister Dee for pointing me in the right direction.
Anyhow, I am no Klingon fan at all and I don't want to spam here. But maybe my thoughts about this race and the trouble they make, are not so wrong after all.
Why are Klingons so aggressive?
- Because it is in their nature.
Are all Klingons living by their code of honor?
- Yes, but the interpretation is a 3 bladed sword. "The truth, the reality, and the personal interpretation. So, don't be shocked, when a Klingon stabs you from behind.
Are those the good guys? / Have they good intentions?
- Yes. Mostly. In their major agenda is to control and defend their reign. The problem with this is, there is no real definition in that. Klingons see almost everything as their reign. And they mostly act very extreme in any kind.
What's the problem then with this?
- Klingons do what they think it's right and not reason or think it trough. If they are not welcomed, they'll "help" anyway if you want it or not.
Why do Klingons and Federation hardly come along?
- There are some major displaces. First the diplomacy of the Federation, where Klingons are treated like humans. "Let's talk!" it's almost an insult if the sides aren't cleared out for the Klingons. Second, both factions are expandatoryal. The Federation did it by collaboration and unity, the Klingons by force and subjugation. Sadly both systems seem to work.
Why do Klingons got often along with the Federation?
- They are raging mad men, but they are at some point reasonable. As long as the Federation is helping them, or they have "better things" to do, they see no reason to fight the Federation.
Why do the Klingons fight the Federation?
- There are some major reasons. First it is the next bigger neighbor faction. That is mostly even enough. Second, the Federation is always being so awful selfless, and Klingons think the Fed do this to get control over other races. Third, Klingons are proud, and the Federation helped the Klingon Empire so often by now, they are simply jealous (Klingons are pretty jealous, no reason to deny it. It is part of their heritage and nature. To be the best, you have to have someone to fight, someone to be jealous at.)
I hope this could be understandable, reasonable thoughts and not be seen as a try to show my antipathy against the Klingons. ...Really I don't like them, and I don't make a big deal about it. But never the less I understand them.
Hopefully Klingon players will at least think about my theories about the Klingons and would see more of a Klingons as the glorified Worf Klingon. Sadly there are very, very few Klingons who think that way. Being a Klingon is really complex. They are not only space bullies and warmongers. To play or to fight one (inplay) it is important to know this.
I'd rather propose to carry over important data from that thread over here.
Klingons are from a warrior culture ... and they are passionate.
For how many years were the American Indians viewed as savages? ...Truth is that outsiders misjudged them and never really got to know them as a people ... got to know them as a culture.
Klingons are much the same and can be just as misunderstood.
Klingons are also a fictional race whose culture has been embraced by a number of people in the real world .... After all, how many fictional races have inspired their own languages? ,,, There own martial arts styles?
Their own literature?
When I think of Klingons (Being one of my favorite science fiction races of all time) I tend to think of them as a hybrid of old world Samurai, and Vikings.
Some traits I find most prominent in Klingon society are:
honor, dignity, personal responsibility to ones house and family, strength, pursuit of challenges, passion, pride, brave...
Now just as with any society, there are variations and exceptions. Not every Klingon is as Rigid or Stoic as Worf, nor is every Klingon as deceitful and power hungry as the Duras Sisters. Klingons have a varied and wide range of emotions and personas.
Personally when I think of a 'Klingons' Klingon... I find Martok to be everything a Klingon SHOULD be. Worf is a great example too, but he has spent too much time with the HU-mans... forcing him to restrain his passionate warrior self for too long.
When I play as a Klingon, I try to embody the 'ideal' Klingon... although that doesn't mean I am not tempted to dabble in a little more 'Chang-ish' pursuits. Quoting Shakespear in it's original Klingon as I soar headlong into battle!!!
Just in LotR lore... your talking Dwarves and Elves have their own complete language, poetry, and if you count rediculous archery skills a martial art... then there you have it! LOL
...But you are right. Klingons do seem to be the MOST recognized sci-fi people. Even my wife (Who has NEVER watched an episode of Startrek) once said to me "Q'pla".
I said "Wha...?"
She said, "That's what Klingons say... right? 'Q'pla'?"
I said "Uhh... yeah, how did you know that?"
She said "Doesn't -everyone- know that?"

This invention relates to dry well temperature test systems and to systems especially designed to be portable for easy use on site in testing and calibration of various temperature sensing devices, such as thermo-couples, thermal switches, thermistors, thermometers, temperature control systems, and temperature indicators. A series of prior art temperature calibration systems are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,699,800; 3,738,174; 3,939,687; 4,075,882; and 4,079,618.
The prior art devices include an electrically heated, dry temperature well for receiving the probe or other temperature sensing device which is to be tested or calibrated. The devices also include some means for setting the desired temperature, a control circuit for controlling the input to the heat source in the temperature well in order to obtain the desired temperature, and some means for indicating the temperature of the heat source at the well.
The earlier of the above-identified devices operated only at temperatures higher than ambient. The two most recent of the U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,075,882 and 4,079,618, disclose a system utilizing a heat source which can operate at temperatures below ambient as well as above ambient. The invention of the present application is designed for use with such a heat source that can operate both below and above ambient, with the heat source providing for cooling below ambient temperature as well as heating above ambient temperature.
The prior art systems have all been analog in nature. A temperature sensing resistor is mounted in the heat source and is connected in a bridge circuit to provide a voltage signal which varies with the temperature of the heat source. This voltage signal is then utilized directly in controlling the power and the polarity of the power to the heat source for controlling the temperature of the heat source. A variety of problems are encountered in the analog circuits, including stability, determination of actual temperature from the resistance of the temperature sensing resistor which is nonlinear with temperature, calibration of the system itself by comparison with a standard temperature measuring device, and the expertise required of the operator in aligning the system.
A method and apparatus for calibrating a temperature measuring device, and for internally calibrating the apparatus with reference to an external temperature standard. A method and apparatus which provides an indication of a desired or set temperature and the actual temperature of the heat source and the difference between the set temperature and actual temperature, for calibration of an external instrument, and which indicates the difference between the actual temperature of the heat source and the temperature indicated by a standard positioned in the heat source, for calibration of the apparatus itself.
A digital method and apparatus which compensates for nonlinearity of a temperature sensing resistor by automatically fitting the curve of the resistance versus temperature characteristic of the temperature sensing resistor in the digital calculation of resistor temperature. A method and apparatus which automatically calculates the coefficients for the curve fitting equations obtained when comparing the actual heat source temperature of the well with that indicated by a standard temperature measuring device positioned in the well.
A method and apparatus which operates in a normal mode and a calibration mode, and which can be manually selected for these two modes, and which operates in a calibrate phase, a standardize phase, and a coefficient entry phase, and which can be selected for operation in the three phases. A method and apparatus which provides for self check of circuitry when in the normal mode and which provides for automatic calibration checking with an external standard when in the calibration phase. A method and apparatus which utilizes a microprocessor for calculation and control and which can incorporate a digital printer, a digital display, and a digital keypad input, all interconnected with a digital data bus, and which can be operated internally or through an IEEE bus for external control and/or transmission.
Other advantages, features, objects and results will more fully appear in the course of the following description.
FIGS. 1A and 1B comprise a block diagram of a temperature calibration system incorporating the presently preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a portable dry well temperature test system incorporating the embodiment of FIGS. 1A and 1B;
FIG. 3 is an electrical schematic of the bridge circuit of the embodiment of FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 4-30 are subroutine flow charts setting out the operating procedure for the instrument shown in FIGS. 1-3.
The instrument of the invention is a portable temperature probe calibrator.The instrument includes a temperature well which holds the probe to be calibrated, a control system which maintains the well at an accurate and preset temperature, an indicator for displaying information to the operator, a printer which can be used to provide a permanent copy of calibration data, and the controls and circuitry for operating the instrument in its normal and calibrate modes.
The instrument as shown in FIG. 2 is similar in many respects to those shown in applicants aforementioned prior patents, particularly U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,075,882 and 4,079,618, and reference may be had to applicants priorpatents for details of construction and operation of various components, particularly the temperature well, heat sink and thermo-electric module installation.
The instrument includes a housing 20 with the cover removed. A panel 21 is carried within the housing and supports the components of the system within the housing. Louvers (not shown) are provided in the rear wall of the housing to provide for air flow through the interior, preferably provided by a motor driven fan 22. Some of the components referred to in this description are not shown in FIG. 2, but are shown in the block diagram FIG. 1.
The various controls for the system are mounted on the panel 21. Electricalpower is provided through a power receptacle 23, with a well power supply fuse 24 and an electronics fuse 25 connected in circuit with an off-on power switch 26.
A printer 27 is mounted under an access plate 28, with the printer paper being fed out through a slot 29, and with a push button 30 for advancing printer paper.
A temperature well 33 is also mounted in the panel, and may have a cover ofthe type shown in applicants U.S. Pat. No. 3,738,174. Hinged cover members 34 may be opened for insertion and removal of a metal sleeve or chuck 35. Typically a plurality of chucks are provided with the instrument, with each chuck having an opening 36 for insertion and removal of a temperatureprobe or other item which is to be tested or calibrated. The various chuckshave a different shape, size and/or number of openings.
A numeric key pad 37 and a digital display panel 38 are also carried on thepanel 21. The display panel 38 is mounted in a small housing 39. An electrical connector 40 for connecting the instrument to an IEEE bus, and a normal calibration mode switch 41 are mounted on the rear of the housing39 for access when the main housing cover is removed.
The temperature well 33 is shown in greater detail in FIG. 1 as well as in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,075,882 and 4,079,618, and the construction and operation of the temperature well in the instrument of the present application is the same as that in said prior patents.
Referring to the temperature well 33 and FIG. 1, each of the chucks 35 is designed to be a sliding fit in a heat sink 43, with the probe 44 or otherdevice being tested sliding into the chuck. A temperature sensing resistor 45 is mounted in the heat sink 43 and typically is a platinum resistor. Heating and cooling of the heat sink 43 is achieved by a plurality of thermo-electric modules, such as Borg-Warner P/N940-31. Modules 46 are mounted between the heat sink 41 and a metal plate 47, and modules 48 are mounted between the plate 47 and another heat sink 49 which preferably hasa plurality of radiating fins. The heat sink 43 and modules 46, 48 are enclosed in a cover 50, which preferably is filled with a thermal insulating material 51.
The thermo-electric modules are connected together electrically with the same polarity, preferably in series, and are energized from a thermo-electric switching supply 55 and a mode relay 56. The mode relay provides for selecting between heating and cooling operation, and the switching supply 55 turns the module power on and off. When it is desired to raise the temperature of the heat sink 43 above ambient, the group of modules is connected to a DC power source with one polarity, and when it is desired to lower the temperature of the heat sink below ambient, the group of modules is connected to a source with the opposite polarity by the mode relay.
A thermo-electric module develops a difference in temperature between its inner and outer plates when a current is passed through its internal series of thermocouple-like junctions. Modules presently available are capable of developing a temperature differential between the two plates ofa module of approximately 85� F. The specific embodiment of the instrument disclosed herein is required to be able to calibrate thermometers at temperatures 100� F. below the ambient temperature in which the instrument is operating. Therefore two stages of modules connected in thermal series are utilized. The module stage 48 is coupled to the heat sink 49 which is held close to room ambient temperature by thefan 22. The module stage 46 is coupled to the module stage 48 and to the heat sink 43 in which one of the chucks 35 is inserted. When operating at full power, the two module stages can easily cool the chuck and test probe44 to 100� below the operating ambient temperature.
When the polarity of the current through the modules is reversed, the outerplates of the modules become cold with respect to the inner plates and the heat sink 43 is heated. Under these conditions, the specific embodiment illustrated can raise the temperature of the chuck and probe to 250� F., with less power than is required to cool the components to -25� F.
The numeric key pad or keyboard 37 is a 16 function touch panel, and is used by the operator to enter temperature test points and other data, and commands. The keyboard has the numbers 0 to 9 and the instructions ADVANCE, MEASURE, BACK/CLEAR, dot, dash, and ENTER. The keyboard provides an output in binary code through a latch 60 to the data bus 61.
The display 38 may be a conventional component and typically is a forty character, five by seven dot matrix, vacuum fluorescent tube, with its ownmicroprocessor for operation. Input to the display is provided from a system microprocessor 62 in a ASCII code via the data bus 61.
The printer 27 may be a conventional device and in the embodiment illustrated is a five by seven dot matrix impact printer. The printer is controlled by its own printer controller or microprocessor 63 via a printer driver 64. The printer controller 63 receives the character code from the main microprocessor 62 via the data bus 61 and furnishes the dot format required by the printer to form the character and space and feed the character in the proper location on printed copy. The paper feed switch or push button 30 permits the operator to advance the paper in the printer.
The mode switch 41 is connected to the processor 62 through a buffer 66 andserves to set the processor in the normal mode for operation in temperaturesetting and in the calibrate mode for aligning the instrument. When in the calibrate mode the switch 41 also enables the coefficient memory 67, and disables the coefficient memory when in the normal mode. Preferably, the calibration switch is positioned in a recessed opening which can be closedwith a calibration sticker when calibration of the instrument has been completed. Then the calibration sticker has to be broken or removed in order to again switch the instrument from normal mode to calibrate mode for recalibration.
In addition to the sensing resistor 45 mounted in the heat sink 43, anothertemperature sensing resistor 70 is mounted in the heat sink 49 to provide ameasure of ambient temperature. Preferably, these two components are platinum resistors. The two resistors 45, 70 are connected as inputs to voltage divider circuitry 71 with its output connected to the data bus 61 through a latch 72, a precision amplifier 73, and an analog to digital converter 74. The voltage divider circuitry is shown in greater detail in FIG. 3.
Referring to FIG. 3, a precise voltage is provided at terminals 77, 78 by voltage regulator 79. Resistors 80, 81, 82 are connected in series across terminal 77, 78 to provide an analog ground reference. The junction of resistors 81, 82 is connected to circuit ground, and a potentiometer 83 isconnected across resistor 81, 82 to provide a zero adjustment. This is the only ground connection in the divider circuitry.
Resistors 84, 85 are connected in series across the terminals 77, 78 to serve as a standard divider and establish a near full scale reference voltage which is used to detect any minor drift in the voltage measuring circuitry. The temperature sensing resistor 70 on the heat sink 49 is connected in series with a resistor 86 across the terminals 77, 78, to function as an ambient temperature divider. When the temperature of the heat sink changes, this divider circuit provides a corresponding voltage output which is used to correct any error in accuracy resulting from change in room or housing temperature.
The temperature sensing resistor 45 is connected in series with a resistor 87 across the terminals 77, 78 to provide an output voltage corresponding to temperature in the interior of the well, serving as the well temperature divider.
The moving arm of the potentiometer 83 and the junction points in the standard divider, the ambient temperature divider and the well temperaturedivider are connected to the latch 72 which functions under the control of the processor 62 via the data bus 61 to select one of the three voltages for transmission to the precision amplifier 73. With the divider circuitryof FIG. 3, all the voltage inputs to the latch 72 vary from zero in only one direction, in the plus direction as shown, so that zero crossings and attendant zero-crossing-shift are avoided.
Because the platinum temperature sensing resistors should be operated with relatively low currents to avoid self heating, the maximum output voltage of the divider circuitry is limited. The precision amplifier serves to amplify the output from the latch, typically by an amplification factor offourteen to one, to provide sufficient voltage to drive the A/D converter 74. The converter functions to convert the analog voltage signal to a digital signal, and may be conventional in design and operation.
The thermo-electric modules 46, 48 are energized from the thermo-electric switching supply 55 through the mode relay 56 and a power transistor 82, with the modules connected in series internally. The power transistor 82 is controlled from the processor 62 through latch 83, optically coupled power driver 84 and power driver 85, with the timer 97 providing a timing input to the driver 84. In the driver 85, the digital signal from the processor is converted to an analog current level for control of the powertransistor. The mode relay is controlled from the processor via the latch 83, an optically coupled relay driver 86 and another relay driver 87. The mode relay functions to select the polarity of the DC current to the modules depending on whether heating or cooling is desired. The status of the mode relay and hence of the instrument is indicated by red and green light emitting diodes in status unit 88 positioned on circuit board for viewing by service personnel, with red indicating heating operation and green indicating cooling operation.
Electric power for the electronics is provided by electronic switching supply 91 which provides outputs at five volts DC. A DC-to-DC converter 92provides plus and minus 15 volts DC for powering amplifiers and converters and providing reference voltages. Another DC-to-DC converter 93 provides voltage for the divider circuitry 71 through the voltage regulator 79. A precision voltage supply 94 provides a reference voltage for the A/D converter 74.
In addition to the coefficient memory 67, a program memory 95 and a RAM memory 96 are connected to the data bus 61. A timer 97 and an IEEE bus controller 98 are also connected to the data bus.
The microprocessor 62 is conventional and typically may be an 8085A microprocessor operating with an eight bit binary code. The processor controls other operations via the eight line data bus and also calculates temperature points utilizing a specific platinum resistance-to-temperatureconversion formula. The operation of the processor and related components is set out in the sub-routine flow charts, FIGS. 4-30.
The program memory 95 is a read only memory in which the instructions for the operation of the microprocessor are stored. The RAM memory 96 is a random access memory used for storing temporary information. The coefficient memory 67 is a memory in which are stored the coefficients forthe resistance-to-temperature conversion formula, which coefficients are derived during the instrument standardization procedure. These coefficients are stored until the next standardization operation. Each of the memories may be conventional in design and operation.
The timer 97 operates in conjunction with counter 99 and, in the embodimentillustrated comprises three independent sixteenbit counter timers which areprogrammed for function and count by the processor 62. Timer 0 operates at 1.5 mhz, timer 1 at 97.5 khz, and timer 2 at 200 khz. Timers 0 and 1 are used internally by the microprocessor for timing and safety functions. Theoutput of timer 2 is connected directly to the power driver 84 and furnishes a variable frequency pulse train under control of the microprocessor. This pulse train is translated to power level in the powerdriver 85.
The IEEE bus controller 98 permits remote control and monitoring of the instrument, when the instrument is connected to a remote controlling device by an IEEE bus cable at connector 40 and the instrument is in the IEEE operation mode. The controller 98 functions to recognize the various commands from the external control device, send out well temperature data,and accept temperature control point information.
An address and decoder unit 100 provides address and decode data to all digital devices in the conventional manner. A timer 101 actuated from the decoder 100 provides control for a beeper 102 to provide audible signals including tone pulses indicating actuation of the keys of key pad 37. A clock 103 provides a standard clock input for the processor 62.
The instrument of the invention has two modes of operation, the NORMAL modeand the CALIBRATION mode. The NORMAL mode is used for ordinary operation inthe calibration of a temperature measuring device. The probe, thermometer or other device is inserted into the chamber at the well, the instrument stabilizes at the selected temperature, the temperature indicated by the device is noted and compared with the instrument set temperature.
The CALIBRATION mode is used for maintenance of the instrument itself and has three phases, Calibrate, Standardize and Coefficient Entry. These willbe described in greater detail below.
When in the NORMAL mode, the instrument performs the following operations:
Measures at divider 71 the voltage change at the platinum resistor 45 as a function of temperature.
Amplifies and converts this voltage to a binary number at amplifier 73 and A/D converter 74.
Calculates the exact temperature of the resistor 45 using the InternationalPractical Temperature Scale equations of 1968 and the coefficients:
alpha (shape of curve)
delta (curvature of the slope)
Ro (the ice-point resistance of the thermometer).
Displays the calculated well temperature after filtering out any errors caused by power line disturbances and other noise sources.
Determines if the calculated well temperature reading is in agreement with the set point of the instrument and, if not, makes a correction in well temperature by adjusting the thermo-electric module power or mode. This isaccomplished by noting the difference between the set temperature and actual calculated well temperature and modifying the power level in a continuous loop.
Monitors and responds to keyboard instructions.
Translates temperature information to the printer when called.
Performs a self-test at power-on.
Converts to � C. or � F. before displaying, printing or sending data.
Operates from commands from an IEEE base controller and sends back temperature data.
When in the CALIBRATE mode, Calibration phase, the instrument performs the following operations:
Automatically stabilizes the well at each of five temperature points in succession. For the preferred embodiment disclosed the calibration points are -6� F., 50� F., 120� F., 170� F. and 220� F.
Accepts keyed-in standard thermometer readings of the temperature of the standard thermometer in the well at each of the five points to verify the calibration accuracy of the
In the Standardize phase, the instrument performs the following operations:
Automatically stabilizes the well at each of three approximate temperature points in succession: -10� F., 100� F., 220� F. Accepts keyed in readings of the temperature of the standard thermometer in the well at each of the three data points.
Calculates the coefficients which will standardize the unit for NORMAL operation. The coefficients are calculated from these equations (IPTS-68): ##EQU1##and the bridge equation: ##EQU2##
where t68 is the temperature in degrees Celsius, corrected per IPTS-68;
t' is the temperature of the resistor 45 prior to IPTS-68 correction;
M(t') is the IPTS-68 correction, for temperature above zero degrees Celsius;
R(t') is the resistance of the resistor 45 at the temperature t', prior to IPTS-68 correction; and
Ro is the ice-point resistance of the platinum resistor 45;
and the coefficients are alpha, delta and Ro.
Equation (4) is the equation of the bridge circuit of FIG. 3,
R87 is the resistance of resistor 87;
RA is the resistance of the set of resistors 80, 81 and 83;
R82 is the resistance of resistor 82;
ER is the voltage across terminals 77, 78; and
EO is the voltage between the junctions 45a and 82a.
Stores these three coefficients in the coefficient memory 67 until the nextStandardization operation.
Prints a Standardization record.
In the Coefficient Entry phase, the operator enters the coefficients into the coefficient memory 67.
The operating procedure for the instrument shown in FIGS. 1-3 with the flowcharts of FIG. 4-30 is as follows:
Remove the case cover.
Connect a power cord to the receptacle 23 and to an external power source.
Open temperature well doors 34.
Select a chuck 35 of a bore diameter which will accomodate probe 44 of the test item.
Lift chuck 35 from storage rack and insert it into temperature well 33.
Insert probe 44 of test item into bore of chuck 35.
Close temperature well doors 34.
Set the power switch 26 to ON. When the power is turned on, the instrument immediately goes through a self testing procedure. During this test, this message is displayed at the display panel 38: 3605-A SELF TEST VERSION 1.0. Normally the unit will pass self test and go on to present a set of operator instructions. If a failure message is displayed, go to the instrument Inspection, Maintenance, and Trouble Analysis Manual.
After the instrument passes self test, it will ask the operator to select his choice of operating conditions by presenting the following messages atthe display panel:
These messages are self explanatory; pushing key pad 37 #1 will enable the printer 27 and automatically record temperature data.
If the printer has been selected, the unit asks for information which will be included in the printed record:
(example: 01 05 87 ENTER)
The test item serial number can be up to 8 digits long.
(example: 87654321 ENTER)
SELECT UNITS. 1=degrees F. 2=degrees C. (example: Press key number 1 and all data will be shown in degrees Fahrenheit.)
(example: 70.0 ENTER)
The instrument will immediately start changing the well temperature to thatrequired.
After the set point has been entered, both the true temperature of the welland the test point will be displayed.
(example: TRUE TEMP: 72.3� F. TEST POINT: 70� F.)
When the instrument's indicated true temperature is the same as the set temperature, the well has reached approximate stability. The test item indicator must be observed to have reached stability before entering its temperature. Usually, it takes between 5 and 10 minutes after the well hasreached stability, for the test item to stabilize. This depends on its massand materials of which it is made.
After stability of the test item has been reached, it can be calibrated at the given test point. To do this:
Touch the MEAS key
ENTER THERMOMETER READING �F.: will be displayed.
Then the indication of the test item should be
(example: MEAS 73.6 ENTER)
The printer will print:
______________________________________example: THERMOMETER 73.6� F. TRUE TEMP 70.0� F. DEVIATION 3.6� F.______________________________________
After the enter key has been touched, the unit will continue to control thewell at the previous setting. In order to enter the next test point, key ADV and the above sequence will be repeated.
The instrument can be controlled remotely. It has an IEEE-488 buss for thispurpose, with the connector 40 located on the back of the display housing 39. The IEEE buss control can be called for by:
1. Wait until self test is completed. (PRINTER DESIRED - message will be shown)
2. Key BAK
3. IEEE? 1=YES, 2=NO (is displayed).
4. Key 1
The CALIBRATION mode is used to verify that the instrument is accurate. Theunit should be calibrated at specified intervals, normally 6 months to 1 year, depending on the number of hours the instrument is used and how rough it is handled. It is good practice to calibrate it after any repair which might affect its alignment. A precision thermometer is required for calibration.
Select the chuck that fits the thermometer probe smoothly, insert the chuckcarefully into the well and then insert the probe carefully into the chuck.
Calibrate Phase Procedure.
The calibration switch 41 is located on the back of the display housing, with access through a small hole on the right rear of the housing. The hole is covered with a seal which must be broken in order to reach the switch. Breaking the seal voids the previous calibration.
After the calibration switch has been actuated, turn the power on. The following message should be displayed:
If this message is not displayed when the power is turned on, the unit is not in the calibration mode.
The following is an example of a typical calibration which is done by following the steps indicated on the instrument display:
__________________________________________________________________________DISPLAY ACTION__________________________________________________________________________ENTER DATE-MONTH/DAY/YEAR: Enter the day, month and year. (example: 092586 ENTER = September 25, 1986)ENTER 3065-A SERIAL NUMBER: Enter the serial number of the instrument (example: 9262 ENTER)1 = CALIBRATE, 2 - STANDARDIZE, 3 = COEF ENTRY Since calibration is required, 1 is chosen (example: 1)CALIBRATE -ADV- (example: ADV)SELECT UNITS. 1 = �F., 2 = �C. (example: 1) Printer will print the following:******CALIBRATION******DATE 9/25/863605-A SERIAL NO. 9262TEMPERATURE: �F.STD 3605-A DEV P/F The unit will automatically display the following information:TRUE TEMP: 38.17� F. CAL. POINT: -6� F.__________________________________________________________________________
The temperature in the well proceeds downward towards the first calibrationpoint as indicated (TRUE TEMP). It normally takes several minutes before the TRUE TEMP equals the CAL. POINT temperature. The control system will then maintain the well temperature at the calibration point. It will take another 10 or 15 minutes before the standard thermometer reaches stability. At this time, the measurement is made.
__________________________________________________________________________TRUE TEMP: -6.00� F. CAL. POINT: -6� F. The measurement is made as follows: (example: MEAS)ENTER STANDARD TEMPERATURE � F.: (example: -5.89 ENTER) The printer will then print the following:STD 3605A DEV P/F-5.89 -6.00 -.11 P__________________________________________________________________________
The printed record shows that the temperature read by the operator from thestandard instrument was entered at -5.89� F., that the control thermometer was at -6.00� F. (also the well temperature), the deviation between standard and well was 0.11� F. (the allowable deviation is 0.5� F.), and that the unit passed the test at this point.
The unit will then continue to display the data at this point until ADV is touched.
______________________________________TRUE TEMP: -6.00� F. CAL POINT: -6� F. (example: ADV)TRUE TEMP: -1.97� F. CAL POINT: 50�F.______________________________________
The well then heads toward the next calibration point. The automatic calibration points are
After all of the calibration points are measured and recorded by the printer the display returns to the following:
At this point the instrument has either passed or failed in its calibrationtest. If the unit passed the calibration test, it is ready for use. Actuatethe CAL switch to return the unit to the NORMAL operating mode. Put a calibration seal over the CAL switch hole. The unit is now ready for fielduse. If the instrument failed the calibration test, go to Standardization Phase Procedure.
Standardization Phase Procedure.
Standardization is a process by which the operator can give the instrument correct temperatures at three points. From these the unit will automatically calculate and store in memory, a new set of temperature coefficients. With these new coefficients the instrument is re-standardized.
Insure that the calibration switch has switched to the CALIBRATION mode.
Switch the unit on.
Follow the steps shown on the display.
__________________________________________________________________________DISPLAY ACTION__________________________________________________________________________ENTER DATE-MONTH/DAY/YEAR: (example: 09 25 86 ENTER)ENTER 3605-A SERIAL NUMBER: 9262 ENTER1 = CALIBRATE, 2 = STANDARDIZE, 3 = COEF ENTRY 2STANDARDIZE -ADV- ADVSELECT UNITS. 1 = �F., 2 = �C. (example: 1) At this point the printer prints the following:*** STANDARDIZATION ***DATE 9/25/863605-A SERIAL NO. 9262TEMPERATURE: �F.STD 3605-A__________________________________________________________________________
The temperature in the well proceeds to the first standardization point. The unit will stabilize the well at the temperature it thinks is -10� F. (example)
The TRUE TEMP will probably be different than the STD. POINT temperature after the unit has stabilized. Even though the well temperature appears stable, the standard thermometer may take another 10 to 20 minutes to stabilize. When the standard thermometer has stabilized, touch the measurekey. (example: MEAS)
If the data has been entered satisfactorily touch the ADVANCE key. If the data was not entered correctly, again touch the MEAS key and re-enter the data.
The well temperature will automatically start towards the next standardization point. There are three standardization points:
After the 220� F. data has been entered, and the final advance key touched, the printer will print the following standardization information:
______________________________________*** STANDARDIZATION ***______________________________________DATE 9/25/863605-A SERIAL NO. 9262TEMPERATURE: �F.Ro 200.031623ALPHA .003951709DEL 1.50377384______________________________________
Standardization is now complete. The unit must now be calibrated as described above under Calibrate Phase Procedure.
Coefficient Entry Phase Procedure.
If for any reason the coefficients have been erased or altered beyond a reasonable amount, the instrument will not Standardize or operate in the NORMAL mode. The unit will display, instead, the failure message, ERROR MAX RESISTANCE. This will probably happen if either the digital circuit board or the coefficient memory has been replaced. The procedure for entering new coefficients is as follows: Actuate the mode switch 41 to CALIBRATION mode. After the calibration switch has been actuated the poweris turned on. The following message should be displayed:
__________________________________________________________________________ENTER DATE-MONTH/DAY/YEAR: (example: 09 25 86 ENTER)ENTER 3605-A SERIAL NUMBER: (example: 9262)1 = CALIBRATE, 2 = STANDARDIZE, 3 = COEF ENTRY (example: 3)COEF ENTRY -ADVANCE (example:ENTER Ro 199.5324ENTER ALPHA .0039425875ENTER DELTA 1.523897 ADV) All previous coefficients will be erased from memory. The unit will now print the following:** COEFFICIENT ENTRY ** DATE 9/25/86 3605-A SERIAL NO. 9262 Ro 200 ALPHA .00395 DEL 1.5__________________________________________________________________________
The coefficients given above were entered and will be close enough to the actual values to standardize any unit.
After the coefficients are entered, the unit will again display:
The unit now must be standardized following the Standardization Phase Procedure and calibrated following the Calibration Phase Procedure, and the mode switch returned to NORMAL mode and sealed before returning the instrument to the field.

i am looking to relocate to the jacksonville fl. i want to apply for a loan, but don't know if i can do it in the state where i live and buy in the area of interest.
Answers (5)
If you're really trying to show sellers or agents that you're serious, just call whatever lender and ask for another letter with the correct state. It shouldn't be a big deal as long as they're licensed in both states.
As long as the Lender is licensed in that State then you're fine. I can do loans in FL and I'd be happy to help!
Well although this is possible, you have to see where your lender is licensed. Sometimes lenders are only licensed in the states they are in so they may not be able to give a loan for properties outside of that state. Although, they may be able to refer you to someone who can help you out in that particular state. If you are working with a big mainstream bank then you will most likely be fine. I suggest you shop around for lenders and ask them because some may be able to do this, and others may not.
I hope this helps and good luck!
I hope this helps and good luck!
Your pre-approval is able to be used for other states. Lenders have what is called risk based pricing and have different rates for different states. Just make sure that the rate that you are given is specific to Florida. Just make sure that the lender you did your pre-approval is licensed in Florida. You may enter the lender's name in this site to validate their lending authority in different states: nmlsconsumeraccess.org
Your payment may be different for Fl than the state you did your initial pre-approval for, so make sure that your debt to income ratio is within guidelines to get pre-approved!
Your payment may be different for Fl than the state you did your initial pre-approval for, so make sure that your debt to income ratio is within guidelines to get pre-approved!
You will need to apply for a loan with a lender who is licensed to lend in the state where you plan to purchase.

Patterson Hood - Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance LP
CD copy of the album is included with all vinyl orders. Patterson Hood's third solo record, Heat Lightning Rumbles In The Distance, was released in September 2012 ATO Records. Hood co-produced the album with long time Drive-By Truckers' collaborator David Barbe , who also plays bass on the album. All of his DBT band mates make appearances on the record ( Mike Cooley, Jay Gonzalez, Brad Morgan and John Neff ) as does Scott Danbom and Will Johnson from Centro-matic and Kelly Hogan . Hood's father, famed Muscle Shoals bassist, David Hood also plays on the record. Hood originally started out writing a book that was a half-assed fictionalization of a very turbulent period of his life when he was 27. The book eventually stopped coming but the songs continued to pour out. Most of this album comes from a short period of time between February and June of 2011. Hood says, "The songs begin in the period that the book was set in, but don't end there, as they really just were the impetus for writing about the life I am living now and contrasting it with the troubled times of two decades ago. It is in some ways the most personal album I've ever made. There has always been a lot of me in all of the albums we've done, but usually semi-disguised as character sketches and stories, but the first person narrative in this one is pretty firmly rooted in autobiography, albeit in two dramatically differing time periods."

Drive-By Truckers Go-Go Boots LP
Far more than on any of the Drive-By Truckers' previous albums, Go-Go Boots rises like smoke from the old Muscle Shoals country-and-soul sound. Having recorded with Bettye LaVette and Booker T. Jones, and having spent a lifetime listening to classic soul albums by Bobby Womack, Tony Joe White, and especially Eddie Hinton, it was inevitable that the Truckers eventually produce this album.

Hot Climate Pools
I live in NC and it's hot. My pool is just about too warm to enjoy. It got me thinking about you folks in the Southwest where the summertime low at night can be about 90 degrees. High end folks might have cooling systems but how about the rest of you? Do you enjoy 95 degree water or just not swim during the very hot months? Any cooling tips?
People have some tricks over at troublefreepools.com
Here in Florida, I am still using solar for a couple of hrs during the day. We like it at 91-92 maybe a bit warmer however we do most of our swimming at night and it really feel great even after cutting the grass in 100+ degrees. Not too bad, we are spoilt and will never go in if it less that 88 degrees. Pool temp drops to @ 88 degrees every nite.

Fumie is the childhood friend and teacher for Wataru in Milk Junkies.
Fumie is a beautiful woman in her mid to late 20's. She has black hair that she normally keeps tied, brown eyes, pale skin, and pink lips. In comparison to her sister who is curvy, but not extremely so, Fumie has a large and thick body complete with healthy curves and a voluptuous frame. Due to this Fumie has fat and enormous breasts and large maternal hips that contribute to Wataru's lust over her. Her aforementioned breasts have red nipples and one has a mole. In addition she is able to produce milk which Wataru often drinks from her during sexual encounters. At first Fumie dressed more modestly in comparison to her more provocative sister wearing her required teachers outfit which consisteed of a white top with a red tie and a skirt. however after she has sex with Wataru and breaks out of her shyness she embraces her obvious sex appeal whole heartedly, dressing up in sexual, fetish type outfits to excite and tease wataru, drawing attention to the characteristics of her body that she was once implied to be ashamed of. A notable outfit being in the last episode where she joins the big tits competition and wears a red thong and a small red bikini top that only covers her nipples that shows off her body.
Despite being the older and more voluptuous sister, Fumie is much more shy and introverted compared to her sister, rarely expressing her true feelings for Wataru and acting shy around her more open and playful sister. The crux of her character development occurs at the end of the OAV where she ultimately gives in to her feelings and sexual impulses and has sex with Wataru. This ultimately has a positive effect on her in the other specials as she becomes more open with her feelings as well as reveling in her sexuality more like her sister does. The most obvious indicator of this is during what they thought would be their last time together she allows Wataru to take a picture with her while her shirt is unbuttoned after engaging in a sex act, standing in stark contrast to her in the beginning of the series where she was uncomfortable being naked around even her sister.
Wataru: Her shyness makes Wataru start to act more distant towards her. At first Fumie takes this shyness badly, and ultimately when Wataru does express interest in her she at first resists his advances.However when she finally does give in she begins a relationship with him in earnest, often sharing him with her sister to his delight.

Hi Hoss,
Just out of curiousity, how do you search for a pill that has no imprint?:D
It's impossible to identify something without an imprint unless you have it tested by a lab.
No imprint means some kind of vitamin or supplement in the US or an ethical or OTC foreign med or an illegal drug. There is no way to ID a pill without markings.
It's really strange, but even in Canada a lot of RX meds have no markings - descriptions are given like "round white tablet, scored on one side and available in 24 and 72 count packages." Really helpful information!:(
As far as I'm concerned, every med (RX, OTC, supplements, vitamins - US or foreign) should have some unique marking so that the consumer is aware of what he has.

I fiqured it was a long shot. i searched by... white pill... blank white pill... both sides blank... etc. you get the point. Anyway... i have no idea what it is for. My ex girlfriend left a bottle(unmarked) with them in it. just wanted to make sure it wasn't useful or harmful

Tuesday, November 12, 2013
OKLAHOMA CITY – Governor Mary Fallin today released the following statement regarding the Justice Department's agreement to allow US Airways and American Airlines to merge:
"The decision to allow American Airlines and US Airways to merge is great news for the thousands of employees at these two companies, many of whom work in Oklahoma," said Fallin. "I'm particularly thrilled for the 6,000 AA employees in Tulsa who stand to benefit from this agreement. We know that the state of Oklahoma will continue to be a great place for these employees to call home, and an ever-growing hub for the aerospace and aviation industries."
