Q4 Intravista Podcast
This podcast was very easy. It didn't take too much work as long as you knew what you were going to say. I feel as though this was the easiest project we did in this class. I'm proud of the final project and how fast we got done it because we didn't play around. I had trouble pronouncing some of the words. I think that's the only thing I really struggled with. One thing I would do differently is try to find a quieter place. We thought the place where we were was going to be quiet but we was getting interpreted. We still managed to get everything done though.
Negative/Positive Space jzhang
Negative space is the space in between a picture. That if glued onto another papper it would make a symmetrical picture.I just sorted out the pictures and just stared at it until i find it.
Makes the pictures more equal and more intresting.
Yes because it helps the artist with drawing things that are equal.
Negative space by Max Amar-Olkus
Negative space is everything that the subject isn't. You are drawing the space around the subject to show what the subject is.
B. Explain how you found negative space in 1. your cut out?, 2. in your stool drawing?
In my cut out finding the negative space was relatively easy because it is already separated by the dark gray and light gray. In my drawing I found the space by drawing the space in between the still life.
C. Why does it help an artist to see in negative space?It helps an artist to see the negative space because it gives their art another dimension and allows them to see the whole spectrum of artwork.
D. Does seeing in negative space enhance drawings, why or why not
It does enhance drawings because it helps with shading and other aspects of the piece.
As The Rocket Goes, So Go The Flyers
As The Rocket Goes, So Go The Flyers!
After a devastating loss to Del Val, which is doing a great impersonation of a buzz saw as they cut through the entire division en route to a 7-0 record, SLA needed a big win like this to bounce back into playoff contention. Also, it seems that the Flyers needed the Rockets to win again as well. After the 10-3 drubbing they took last night while trying to clinch the series, the Flyers look like they need a little help from their friends. It's kind of eerie how these two teams are intricately linked. Stretching back to the 2010 playoff run, which found the Flyers down 0-3 to the hated Boston Bruins, anytime the Rockets win a game so do the Flyers. After dropping their first 8 contests in embarrassing fashion, never getting closer than a six-run loss, SLA Coach Herman had enough of losing. His pre-game speech against Comm Tech, which beat them 13-5 in their first game of the season, was curt and to the point. "Look, I am so tired of losing and I know you are too. I got tickets for the Flyers tonight and I'll be damned if getting mercy ruled again by a team we can beat is going to make me miss the start of the greatest comeback sports has ever seen. Let's just do the things we work on in practice and beat these guys. We are better than this. Start playing for one another and it will start to click". And click did it ever. With several starters missing the game, SLA stomped all over Comm Tech 25-10 for their first win in team history. Later that night the Flyers won in overtime 4-3 and started what has become exactly what Coach Herman predicted.
The rest of that series against the Bruins found the Flyers battling back from deficits and shutting down the high-octane Bruins to even the series at 3-3. Funny thing was that the then 1-8 Rockets has also won two more games of their own, and each game happened on the same day the Flyers were slated to do battle. So it came down to the final game of the season for the Rockets, while the Flyers and Bruins set to duke it out in Boston for Game 7 on the same day. Just like the Flyers, the Rockets fell behind 3-0 to University City, but then all hell broke loose when several players threatened and actually tripped a Rocket on the base paths. Coach Herman called a timeout, and much like the magical time out called by Flyers coach Peter Laviolette at the end of the first period that led to a critical goal, the Rockets responded with cooler heads and hotter bats. SLA went on to score 13 unanswered runs to crush University City 13-3, all the while the SLA bench chant of "Let's Go Flyers" grew louder as each run crossed the plate. The Flyers completed the most epic and improbable comeback in sports history later that night with a 4-3 win over Boston to advance to the Eastern Conference Championship and eventually the Stanley Cup Finals.
But the connection continued in the 2011 season as well. Whenever the Rockets won so did the Flyers, and while both made the playoffs, the Rockets for the first time in school history and the Flyers with high expectations to return to the Finals, both were bounced early on. This brings us to 2012 and the "one for the ages" Keystone State matchup of Flyers-Penguins. Save for the now most infamous modern hockey game this past Sunday at Wells Fargo Center, which the Flyers won 8-4, the link between the Rockets and Flyers is very much intact. Last week the Rockets beat their nemesis and playoff rival Randolph 14-4, and the Flyers came back to win Game 1 4-3 in overtime. The Rockets had that 400ft Walk-Off 10-8 win over University City on Friday when Raekwon Smith crushed a major league home run in the bottom of the 7th, which was followed by the Flyers trouncing the Pens 8-5 to take a 2-0 series lead. The 189 penalty minute game on Sunday happened with SLA idle, but then the wheels came off both teams. Short an impressive comeback to stave off the Mercy Rule for a few innings when they were down 13-1 in the 4th, the Rockets couldn't claw back to truly make it a game against the Del Val juggernaut, and the Flyers also got thumped by Pittsburgh 10-3. So while today's matchup between the Rockets and Strawberry Mansion was what their Coach considered the beginning of a playoff mentality to ensure the playoff were still a reality, SLA players and Coach all felt that the game had much greater implications.
SLA got it started early with Ethan Reese's lead off triple. Stephen White walked and Jeff Schwartz brought them both home with a rip shot to Mansion's Short Stop who took too long to throw to first. Ethan was running on contact, and Stephen went for home once the throw was off line to first. By the time the top of the SLA order was up again, Ethan Reese had already struck out 7 including the side in the 3rd. Reese got another single to lead off the third. He would finish the day 4-4 with the triple, 2 runs scored, 2 RBIs and 5 stolen bases. Stephen hustled hard down the line and reached on an error when Mansion's first basemen couldn't handle the throw. Reese scored and two quick steals later Stephen was on third for a heartbeat before Jeff Schwartz brought him in to make it 4-0.
In the 4th TJ Nicolella, who was hit by a pitch, would scored to make it 5-0 on Reese's third hit of the game, and SLA broke it open in the 5th with four more runs. Ian McClendon got it started by working a lead-off walk and then stole second. Abe Musselman ripped a shot at the short stop who bobbled the ball and Ian scored when the throw to first was off-line. Abe stole second a moment later, but it didn't matter because Raekwon Smith smacked another monster shot, this time to right center for a triple and the RBI. It seemed as if Rae was going to be stranded at third after Vernon Holt struck out back-to-back Flyers I mean Rockets, but Jhonas Dunakin came through batting in the 9th slot with a hot-shot double down the line just past a diving third basemen to make it 8-0. Ethan Reese brought him home with his team-leading 4th hit of the game to stay perfect at the plate and quickly stole 2nd and 3rd. Coach Herman whispered in his ear, "you are the winning run, so get a move on the second there is contact", as he made it to third. Stephen White, who went 2-4 with 2 runs scored, an RBI and 3 stolen bases on the day ripped a shot to left, but it was right at their fielder. lose to walking off with the mercy rule victory then and there, SLA had to settle for a 9-0 lead going into the 6th.
But this added some drama and some extra Ks for Reese as he struck out Mansion's deadly hitter Bynum for the third time in the game. Their other huge threat, starting pitcher Vernon Holt, worked a walk and then stole second and third. Trying to do it all on his own, Holt got greedy and tried to steal home, but Reese fired in time for Schwartz to apply a hard tag to Holt's face as he slid in to preserve the shutout. Rees struck out their cleanup hitter Croxtin for the second time on the day, and SLA moved to the bottom of the sixth looking for just one run to wrap it up.
Jeff Schwartz got the party started with a roaring double down the third base line, and then stole 3rd on the next pitch. 90 feet away from victory, no outs. Holt walked McClendon who worked the count and quickly moved to second on catcher's indifference. That brought up Abe Musselman, who had a double and a triple in the game against Del Val, and continued the hot bat with a single to win the game and finish 3-4 with 2 RBIs and 1 run scored. Shortly after the teams lined up to shake hands Allen Harmon walked over to their coach and engaged him in conversation to distract him long enough to ensure he got the full brunt of the water bucket, a ritual that has carried over since that first win back in 2010. Soaking wet, Coach Herman passed out game balls and "pickles for triples" as he shouted "second place boys, we're in second place!"
So after the 10-0 methodical dismantling of Strawberry Mansion, Flyers fans should feel a bit more at ease going into tomorrow's Game 5 in Pittsburgh. After all, as the Rocket goes so go the Flyers. Perhaps the Rockets should start wearing Orange to clarify their affiliation, and perhaps Ed Snider can pay for the uniforms. Season tickets also seem to be in order. Just sayin'!

Write a short reflection explaining what you're proud of, what you had trouble with and what you would do differently if given the chance to do it over again.
The purpose of this project was to show off what we learned about responding to job interview questions and to show people what we are capable of doing in a real world job situation.There were a lot of good parts when it came to our project. One of them was that we learned and spoke spanish clearly to each other. Another thing I am proud about is that we did this project with in a weeks time. One thing I had trouble with was pronouncing some of the words but with practice, I got them nicely for the podcast. Another thing I would do differently if I had another chance to do it would be to plan ahead of time and organize my audio some more.
I plan to find someone on livemocha but I do not understand that site so I might use someone in our school.
Questions I could ask first are like conversation starters and start off with simple spanish 1-2 stuff.

Process Paper:
I picked my topic the Civil
Rights Movement, because I have learned many things about it over the years,
but I know there is a lot that I haven't learned. I want to learn more about
three specific events, and they were: The Bus Boycott, The I Have A Dream Speech,
and The Assassination of MLK. I knew the basic stuff already, but I wanted to
dig down deeper into the situation so I did.
I checked many different
websites looking for new information, and I found some new things, but I wasn't
satisfied. So I did something I never do, I read a book, the Rosa Parks
Biography. I learned some things from it; one really interesting thing was that the Boycott might have been set up. Rosa wasn't the first person to get arrested for sitting in the front of a bus. It was a 16-year-old pregnant girl, I didn't include this in my project, but it was new to me.
I made my articles like a regular
2fer from English class, but that wasn't the way I was supposed to do it. I had
to make them like actual newspaper articles so I did. It was kind of hard for
me, but I did it to the best of my abilities.
Then I made my website. I tried to
put the events in order so people could travel through time on my website to
see what the civil right movement was like. I have pictures from each event on
each page. I feel that the website is good. The articles aren't long, and
boring just about a page and a half for each category. I also have a video of
MLK making his I Have A Dream Speech. In the end I was somewhat proud of my website. It could have been better, but it is what I produced.Primary Sources:

Reviewed By Steve M (PAHRUMP, NV) Reviewed for a 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class —3/23/2015 7:20 AM
I believe I got exactly what I ordered. It is large enough to cover my vehicle and has elastic on the front and back to help keep it in place. It does not have any gromets but then they never said it did. I have added some to help keep it in place during periods of high wind. We are in the mountains, so this matters. I think it will perform well.

Emma Watson may be young at 23, but she is definitely one of the brightest stars in Hollywood. After the big hit of Harry Potter, she continue to shine and grace the red carpet and proven that age does not matter in becoming a fashion and style icon.
From Germany to Madrid, Emma Watson stuns her fans with her fashion choices in the red carpet premieres of the Biblical epic film "Noah." Her recent major appearance is in Leicester Square in London, sashaying a white halter gown from the Ralph Lauren Collection. The dress is far from being outrageous, but Ms. Watson looks immaculate and radiating, making the photographers click their cameras in frenzy as the star walk past them.
Ms. Watson played the role of Ila in the blockbuster film "Noah." Her role is tagged to be a "fictional" addition into Noah's biblical story, being the wife of Shem played by Douglas Booth. In the story, Ila became pregnant and gave birth to a twin.
Emma Watson surely knows how to rock designer clothes; wearing creations of Oscar dela Renta (New York premiere), an Yves Saint Laurent men-inspired wear (Late Show with David Letterman), and a Peter Pilotto wrap front dress ("Noah" press conference in Beverly Hills) among others while promoting "Noah." However, her fashionable wears in the red carpet is far from what audiences will see in the "Noah" film. Like all of the casts of the movie, her ensemble depict the clothing in the Old Testament.
When asked about her role in "Noah," the actress answered that she love Ila's role. She describes Ila as a woman with a huge heart and wise, with a character that is very relatable according to a Reuter's interview. Ms. Watson also feels honoured with the rest of the cast like Russell Crowe, Anthony Hopkins, Jennifer Connelly and Ray Winstone whom she noted as "people who really are at the top of their game."
"Noah" brings Ms. Watson's performance into a different level with the director Darren Aronofsky even praising her professionalism while filming. The lady may always be known as Hermione Granger in the "Harry Potter" series, but she is starting to build her name as one of the most flexible actresses of this generation.

Justice secretary Jack Straw has defended the increase to the salary of Information Commissioner Richard Thomas as merited by a significant expansion of the his responsibilities matched by an increase in the importance and status of the post.
MPs agreed without a vote to raise his pay from £98,000 to £140,000, backdated to last November, on the day Straw announced a considerable increase in the power and responsibilities of the Commissioner's Office.
For the Liberals, Simon Hughes praised Thomas in particular for standing up to home secretary Jacqui Smith's plan for a huge database of electronic traffic data as "a step too far for the British way of life".
Shadow Tory justice minister Nick Herbert said Thomas "has certainly demonstrated the independence that the House requires" and "has had to deal not least with the serial data losses over which the government has presided".

When upgrading your vehicle with lowering sport springs, you need to take a look at your shock absorbers along with many of the related suspension and steering components to make sure you are getting the most out of your suspension. The majority of the lowering sport springs feature not only the lowered stance, but also an increased spring rate. This higher rate creates a different demand on your shock absorbers, creating the need to replace your factory shocks and struts with new units designed to properly control these forces and keep your wheels where they need to be on the ground. Remember, if you are 3 wheeling around corners, you just lost 25 percent of your traction. ST Sport Shocks are designed exclusively for lowered vehicles featuring the advanced valve tuning targeted at controlling the higher spring rates associated with performance lowering spring. The shortened or reduced rebound travel optimizes the piston stroke of the shock absorber guaranteeing a balanced chassis under any circumstances. With the ST Sport Shocks on board, you can carve the canyons in comfort, style and safety.

This application is a division of application Ser. No. 434,169, filed Oct. 13, 1982, now abandoned.
The invention concerns devices to distribute a fluid, of the type comprising:
a metal body traversed by a prismatic or cylindrical, calibrated bore and into the thickness of which a plurality of fluid circulation channels is cut, each of which places the outside of the body in communication with its bore,
a movable core in said bore, designed to establish different communications between at least certain of the channels of the body, when said core occupies at least two predetermined positions.
This definition includes:
distribution devices (faucets, gate valves or distributors) with a core movable either in rotation (cocks) or in translation (slide valves),
both devices for the distribution of liquids and devices for the distribution of gas,
both devices providing progressive variations of the flow rate of the fluid and devices rapidly providing variations of the all or nothing type (commutation).
It applies further without regard to the number of fluid distribution circuits (fluid inlet and outlet) and to the number of channels of the body, but its application becomes more advantageous with increasing numbers of circuits and channels.
In effect, the known devices for the distribution of fluids of the above-mentioned type have disadvantages which become more appreciable with rising numbers of circuits to be served. For example, in order to make possible the machining of the orifices of the circuits opening into the bore of the body, it is frequently necessary to produce the body in two parts, namely a drilled casing into which transverse channels opening laterally to the outside of the casing are machined, and on the other hand, a bored lining inserted into the bore of the casing, into the circumference of which a plurality of annular grooves is machined, said grooves being in communication with the channels and opening into the bore of the lining through the said orifices. To prevent leakage between the grooves belonging to different circuits, the grooves must be spaced apart and separated by toric seals. The distribution device under consideration is thus excessive in length (due to the piping connected with the transverse channels). Therefore, the greater the number of circuits, the more complex and expensive is the configuration, the more space is required and the higher the risk of leakage, and the more the installation in and removal from the casing of the lining becomes difficult and delicate, and the more numerous the occasions on which the toric seals are damaged.
A first object of the invention is provide a fluid distribution device of the above-mentioned type free of the disadvantages described hereinabove. A second object is the process to provide such a device.
The fluid distribution device is characterized in that in order to produce said body in a single piece into which all of the necessary channels are machined:
said body consists of the tight and irreversible assembly of at least two metal elements joined to each other by contact surfaces which are exactly complementary,
at least some of the channels machined in a body consists at least in part of grooves cut into at least one of the contact surfaces.
The tight and irreversible assembly of the elements of the body may be effected for example by adhesive bonding or by brazing. In order to avoid the risk of failure due to the interposition of a material melting more readily than that or those of the elements, and of obstructing the channels during the assembly process, it is preferable whenever possible, to effect the assembly by metallic diffusion under pressure and at elevated temperatures (diffusion welding).
The joining surfaces may be flat and normal to the axis of the bore of the body. The channels thus comprise, in addition to the grooves cut into the flat surfaces, rectangular boreholes parallel to said axis. It is also possible to use a combination of assemblies of flat and cylindrical surfaces. It will be seen that these dispositions make it possible to obtain in a very simple fashion highly complex networks of channels.
The process of the invention is essentially characterized in that it includes the following operations:
the preparation of at least two metal elements having contact surfaces that are exactly complementary and designed so that their juxtaposition constitutes the body,
cutting into at least one of the contact surfaces at least one groove intended to constitute at least partially, at least one of the channels of the body,
the tight and irreversible assembly of said elements, by advantageously using diffusion welding.
Prior to the assembly, the elements may be equipped, if necessary, with centering and adjusting means, which may be required to obtain their appropriate relative positioning.
Further novel and advantageous dispositions will become apparent from the descriptions hereinafter of embodiments of fluid distribution devices according to the invention. The descriptions refer to the drawings attached hereto, wherein:
FIG. 1 is an axial section of a hydraulic distributor with a cock, according to the invention;
FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively, are sections of this distributor in the section planes 2--2, 3--3, 4--4, 5--5 and 6--6 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 7 is an axial section of a slide valve hydraulic distributor according to the invention, in keeping with a first embodiment;
FIG. 8 is a cross section of this slide valve distributor in the section plane 8--8 of FIG. 7;
FIG. 9 is an axial cross section of another hydraulic slide valve distributor according to the invention, in keeping with a second embodiment; and
FIG. 10 is a cross section of this slide valve distributor in the section plane 9--9 of FIG. 9.
In a general manner, in the aforementioned figures:
the clearances between the bodies and the cores (cocks or slides) are greatly exaggerated,
the sections of the permanent joining surfaces (for example, by diffusion welding) are represented by heavy lines,
only the dispositions are described and represented, the description of which is necessary for an understanding of the invention.
Specifically, the functions of the different circuits obtained by the displacement of the cores in the bodies are not described, as the invention concerns the configuration of the distributors and not said functions.
FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are considered simultaneously. The hydraulic cock distributor which they show has three circuits (high, median and low pressure). It is intended for the control of an emergency feed regulator of turbojet engines. It comprises, in a known manner, a body 10 and a cock 20 mounted rotatably in the body. The latter consists of a cylindrical casing 11 joined to a coupling seat 12 by means of a flange 13. The cylindrical cock 20 is housed in a bore 111 which extends the length of the casing 11 and opens into a bore hole 122 of a larger diameter provided in the seat 12.
The end of the cock 20 facing the bore 122 has an axial projection 21 and the other end has an axial projection 22. A coupling, not shown and supported by bearings 121 located in the seat 12, makes it possible to control the rotation of the cock 20 by means of the projection 21. The bearings 121 cooperate further with a set-collar (not shown) joined to the projection 22 to prevent axial translation of the cock.
Portions of channels 14 provided in the thickness of the flange 13 communicate with portions of channels 15 machined into the thickness of the casing 11 to form a network of channels which opens into the bore 111 through orifices, such as 17, and which connect the orifices with the inlet or outlet lines of the fluid, such as 18. Recesses 24 or channels 25 which are machined into the cock 20 by milling or drilling, connect at least two orifices 17 in each operating position. It is unnecessary to describe the functions of the different fluid circuits which may be established in this manner for an understanding of the invention.
The different configurations which characterize the invention of hydraulic distributor mentioned hereinabove, will now be considered.
The body 10 consists of an assembly of cylindrical elements joined to each other by flat joining surfaces which coincide, respectively, with the section planes 2--2, 3--3, . . . 6--6 of FIG. 1. In other words, FIG. 2, which is a section passing through the flange 13, shows the portion 132 of the flange which forms with the seat 12 one of these elements and FIG. 3 shows the element 113, which carries the portion 131 of the flange; FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 show, respectively, the elements 114, 115 and 116, but not the element 117. These elements are joined together by a process (for example, diffusion welding), which yields tight and inseparable joints. Most or all of the channels 14 communicate with external feed or fluid distribution circuits by means of the orifices 16 provided through the portion 131 of the flange; the orifices 16 relate to the conduits 18 provided in the wall of the housing 30. A gasket ensures tightness. The orifices pass through a housing wall 30 used to support and immobilize the distributor by means of bolts (not shown), which pass through the passage holes 133 (FIG. 2). The channels 14 consist of grooves 142 provided in the flange 132. The orifices 16 thus open through the support surface 134 of the part 131 of the flange.
The different phases of the production of the body 10 are the following:
the machining of the elements 12, 131, 114, 115, 116, 117 (the bores and the peripheries are merely roughed in to allow for finishing following the assembly),
drilling the channels 15,
machining of the groove 142 forming the channels 14,
drilling the orifices 16,
assembly of the different elements, for example, by diffusion welding (the necessary centering and adjusting marks are not shown), and,
finishing the bores and the peripheries.
The invention thus makes it possible, by means of extremely simple machining operations, to produce compact, reliable distributors, having multiple channels capable of performing highly complex functions.
The cock 20 may be produced by the machining of a monolithic blank or by machining and assembling cylindrical elements joined subsequently at their flat faces. The recesses 24 and the channels 25 may, in the second case, be produced by the hollowing of certain of the flat faces.
FIGS. 7 and 8 relate to a slide distributor (i.e. with a sliding core) according to the invention. A four-way distributor is involved. The cylindrical slide 50, with two operating positions, slides in the bore 41 of the body 40. It is actuated by a rod 51. The body 40 is secured by a flange 42 to a wall of the housing 60 by means of fastening bolts passing through the holes 421 drilled into said flange. The latter is indicated by a broken line in FIG. 8, because it is in front of the plane of the cross section. Longitudinal inlet or outlet channels 43 are machined into the thickness of the body 40. They open on the one hand through the mounting face of the flange 42 to be connected with the conduits and on the other hand, into the bore 41 by means of the radial orifices 45. Communication between certain of these orifices as a function of the two operating positions of the slide 50 is assured by the circular grooves 52.
According to the invention, the body 40 consists of three elements assembled in a tight and inseparable manner, namely:
the flange 42 itself,
a cylindrical outer sleeve 401 fastened to the flange 42, and,
a cylindrical inner sleeve 402 inserted in the sleeve 401 and also fastened to the flange 42.
The longitudinal channels 43 are grooves of different length machined into the outer wall of the inner sleeve 402. The latter is traversed by the orifices 45.
The process of the production of the body 40 includes the following principal phases:
the machining to general dimensions of the sleeve 401, the sleeve 402 and the flange 42,
milling the grooves 43 angularly distributed over the circumference of the sleeve 402 and drilling the orifices 45 in the thickness of the latter,
inserting the sleeve 402 into the sleeve 401,
joining the two sleeves, for example, by diffusion welding,
forming the end faces of the two sleeves to be coplanar,
joining the two sleeves with the flange 42, for example, by diffusion welding,
trueing the bore 41, and,
trueing the supporting face of the flange 42.
In principle, if the two sleeves are fitted with sufficient precision, simple shrink fitting may be sufficient to obtain their tight joining. This shrink fitting may be effected in the conventional manner by cooling the sleeve 402 and introducing it into the preheated sleeve 401. It is, however, preferable following the introduction of the sleeve 402, to effect diffusion welding proper by applying to the outside of the sleeve 401 and the inside of the sleeve 402 a certain isostatic pressure at a temperature such that interdiffusion takes place. In this manner, all risks of a leakage between the two sleeves are prevented, even if abrupt variations in the operating temperature occur.
FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate another embodiment of the four-way slide distributor according to the invention, in which the flat joining surfaces for the tight and inseparable joining of the different elements constituting the body are all flat. The cylindrical slide 80, with two operating positions, slides in the bore 71 of the body 70. It is actuated by means of a rod 81. The body 70 is secured by means of its square flange 72 to a wall 90 of the housing by bolts, not shown, which pass through the flange through the holes 721. The rectilinear, longitudinal blind channels 76 for the inlet and outlet of the fluid, machined into the body 70, communicate on the one hand, with the piping, and on the other hand with the channels 77 arranged in three diametrical planes and opening into the bore 71. Longitudinal notches 82 with a circular bottom 82 are milled into the slide 80 and make it possible for the channels 77 of the intermediate plane to communicate with the channels 77 of one or the other of the other diametrical planes.
According to the invention, the body 70 consists of a pile of four plates, i.e., in succession, a square plate constituting the flange 72 and three cylindrical plates 73, 74 and 75. The plane of the section 9--9 of FIG. 9 coincides with the joining plane of the plates 73 and 74 and FIG. 10, consequently, shows the plate 74. The flange 72, in front of the plane of the cross section, is indicated by a broken line.
The process of producing the body 70 is the same as the process to produce the body 10 of FIGS. 1 and 2. All of the channels are machined prior to the welding of the plates 72, 73, 74 and 75. As the channels 76 are obtained by shallow drilling and the channels 77 by cutting on the flat surfaces, the operation presents no difficulties.
To complete the present description, the advantages of the invention are recapitulated hereinafter. They make it possible:
to readily produce fluid distributors performing highly complex functions,
to reduce the number of removable pieces (single piece body, reduction of the number of toric seals which are required only for the joints of the piping or conduits with the channels),
to increase without difficulty the number of orifices of the channels in the bore of the body, because they may be produced with small diameters and with high precision,
to increase the density of the circuits (number of circuits and thus of functions per unit length of the body),
and, in a general manner, to reduce the longitudinal and lateral dimensions of the body.
Concerning the latter point, it should be noted that in all of the embodiments described, the orifices connecting the channels with the piping always open in the supporting face used to secure the distributor. However, it is further possible to pass any electric circuits that may be required to actuate or control the operation, through this face. The invention does not concern the mode of controlling the core, which may be actuated by manual, electric, hydraulic or pneumatic means.
In the embodiments described, the surfaces for the tight and irreversible joining of the elements of the body are flat surfaces transverse to the axis of the body or cylindrical surfaces centered on said axis. But, there is no reason why flat joining surfaces parallel to said axis could not be provided.
The invention thus allows a high degree of freedom in the design of fluid distribution devices, the moreso since it makes it possible to connect these devices to fluid circuits of a conventional design (piping) or with circuits consisting, for example, of flat planes joined together in a tight and inseparable manner, into which grooves are cut, to replace the piping.

LONDON, Ohio Ohio State grain marketing specialist Matt Roberts said farmers are concerned with harvest conditions and grain-drying prices this fall.
Drying this year will be painful, Roberts said about the skyrocketing liquid propane costs.
Roberts shared his outlook at the Question the Authorities session during the Ohio Farm Science Review last month.
Let the crop dry down in the field, if possible, he told the 20 farmers in the crowd. However, many farmers wont be able to leave the crop in the field.
Half of Ohio has serious stand issues, he said.
Roberts advice: Pray for dry weather during harvest.
Along with weather are storage concerns. The United States is expected to have the second largest corn harvest on record in 2005.
Thats a lot of storage pressure, Roberts said. River flow is the biggest question. Can the crop move fast enough and well enough at a rate were accustomed to?
Because of the anticipated backlog, this will be a good year to store corn on the farm, he said.
Another scenario to watch is the 2006 planting intentions. High fertilizer and fuel prices could cause farmers to switch from corn to soybeans next year.
Come January if energy prices stay where they are well see a lot of speculation about a big shift to soybeans, Roberts reported.
Speculation about acreage shifts will pressure soybean prices downward in January, February and March.
I would not be a big fan of holding beans past January, Roberts said. I would not want to be a holder of unpriced beans at that point.

Protecting All LGBT people In Jacksonville, FL
August 13, 2012 by HRC staff
This post comes from HRC Phone Band Coordinator Kate Kramer:
Last Thursday, HRC welcomed another group of super volunteers to our Thursday phone bank. We made over 250 calls to voters in Jacksonville, Florida and asked them to leave messages for Jacksonville councilmembers requesting their support for a fully inclusive non-discrimination ordinance. Voters in the city left almost 40 messages for their representatives!
Along with returning volunteers Suzanne and CD, we were also joined by first-time phone bankers Jeff (pictured, far left) and Michael (far right). When we finished Jeff said, "I was nervous about calling strangers, but the calling is fun. It was really nice to get involved with something in person. This was an awesome experience." Thanks for your help, Jeff!
Volunteering is always more fun with someone you know. Can you and a friend join us for another "awesome experience" next week to make calls and advance equality? We'll have two phone banks next week – one on Wednesday and one of Thursday. We'll provide all the equipment and training, and dinner will be provided. As we move into summer in this critical election year, we have even more need to contact voters in key states about ballot initiatives and critical legislation. To RSVP send me a message at email@example.com or call me at 202-216-1524. Hope to see you soon!

The Lehigh Valley is the third most populous region of Pennsylvania, following metropolitan Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The region is named for the Lehigh River, which runs through it. It is part of the Great Appalachian Valley. The Lehigh Valley's principal cities are Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton, comprising the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton metropolitan area. The traditional bounds of the region are The Poconos to the north, the Delaware River to the east, the boundaries of Berks County and Montgomery County to the southwest, and the boundary with Bucks County to the south. More recently, however, the area around Phillipsburg, New Jersey west of Pohatcong Mountain, parts of upper Bucks County around Quakertown, and portions of northeastern Berks County and southwestern Carbon County in Pennsylvania are considered outer parts of the Valley. The Lehigh Valley is located approximately 50 miles (96 km) north of Philadelphia, the country's sixth largest city, 80 miles (129 km) east of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's capital, and 70 miles (144 km) west of New York City, the country's largest city. The Valley is home to some 790,000 people. Recent census studies show it to be the fastest growing region of the state, due mostly to its growing popularity as a bedroom community for the highly-populated neighboring regions of Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York City. The Lehigh Valley is geologically and geographically part of the Great Appalachian Valley, a region largely made up of limestone that stretches along the eastern edge of the Appalachian Mountains.

Apartment buildings in Salzgitter, Germany typically run in long continuous lines, without breaks. This is why several such buildings have tunnels in them, with paths leading between buildings, so pedestrians can get places more easily. This particular scene is along one such shortcut that I would regularly take in order to get from my language school to the bus stop.
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
