In 1977, Jane and Jean Ford, the twin sisters behind Benefit, met a local dancer who requested a long-lasting red pigment that wouldn't budge during her shows. They listened, and this beloved rose lip and cheek stain was born. Year after year, it's a bestseller for good reason: the translucent color leaves us with a natural flush so we look pretty, not made-up.
I was a bit scared to try this product but have found I love it. I put my creme blush away and only use this. Some reviews say it doesn't last long, but I haven't found a blush that lasts longer. It's easy to use and puts the perfect rosy tint on my cheeks. I haven't had as much luck on my lips as I always stain the bottom one darker for some reason. I'm going to keep trying though!5
I LOVE my Benetint. I use it every day, it never brakes me out, it stays all day, and I don't have to worry about getting makeup on my clothes. You can add more or less depending on how dark you would like it to show. I have tried lots of cheek tints, this is by far the best. My first bottle lasted almost a year with every day use! That makes it less expensive than some of the cheaper items that you buy a few times a year. It also looks so natural.5
I was really excited to buy this tint after reading good reviews and having a few bloggers post about it. I love the color on my skin and lips! a nice rosy blush and adds some colors to my lips when i want to feel more natural and effortless but still feminine.
The only downsides were that the actual size surprised me and seemed small for the price point. granted, it will probably last me a while considering I only used a few swipes at a time. the other is that your finger is left stained after blending in the product and it takes some effort to wash or wipe it off. BUT I would totally recommend!

Paying for college just got easier for two Wisconsin students. They are among 530 students nationwide who received scholarships for the 2011-2012 academic year through Verizon's scholarship program for the children and dependents of company employees.
This year's Wisconsin recipients are: Matthew Hohl, of Hartland, Wis., who attends Arrowhead High School, plans to attend Marquette University and will pursue a degree in biomedical sciences; Morgan Pegg, of Brookfield, Wis., who attends The Culver Academies, plans to attend the University of San Diego and will pursue a degree in science.
More than 500 children and dependants of Verizon employees will each receive scholarships of at least $5,000 from the Verizon Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Verizon, for the 2011-2012 school year.
The scholarship program selects recipients based on financial need, academic achievement and extracurricular activities. Each scholarship is renewable for three years and has a total value of $20,000. For the 2011-2012 academic year, the Verizon Foundation will provide a total of more than $2.64 million for the scholarships.
Since 2001, the scholarship program has invested more than $42.3 million toward the college education of children and dependents of Verizon employees, benefitting 2,353 students. For the 2011-2012 school year, 100 scholarships are for incoming freshman, and 430 are for continuing support for previous winners.
"Education is a key issue for Verizon and for our communities," said T.J. Fox, president- Wisconsin/Illinois, Verizon Wireless. "As a technology company, we know the value of education and are proud to support our future leaders through this scholarship program."
The Verizon Foundation awards the scholarships in partnership with Scholarship America, the nation's largest nonprofit, private sector scholarship and educational support organization, which was founded in 1958.
A list of the Verizon scholars for 2011 is available on the Verizon Foundation website at:
The Verizon Foundation uses its technology, financial resources and partnerships to address critical social issues, with a focus on education and domestic violence prevention. In 2010, the foundation awarded nearly $67 million to nonprofit agencies in the United States and abroad. Through Verizon Volunteers, one of the nation's largest employee volunteer programs, Verizon employees and retirees have volunteered nearly 6 million hours of community service since 2000.

John Mayer
How could someone who whispers such sweet nothings in his lyrics come across as such a bonehead in real life? John Mayer somehow succeeds at doing just that. After a string of TMI statements about his exes (Jessica Simpson as "sexual napalm" is an image we'll never get out of our heads), the singer went too far when he used the N-word in a Playboy interview when talking about, of all things, having a "hood pass."

After getting married abroad a few months back, we decided to hold a reception back home for all our friends and family to relive the moment all over again as well as celebrate with those that could not make the wedding. From start to finish, the reception at the Days Hotel Bournemouth was organised so efficiently, when we thought it could be stressful as the first, everything was taken control of by the Wedding Co-ordinator Gemma and the smooth transition from ideas to reality took place. The hotel has been undergoing refurbishment and the Dorset & Bay Suite (where we were having our reception) was next. Our wedding reception was going to be the first to use the room so there was an added element of excitement. Transformation complete, the big day arrived, having stayed at the hotel in the past, we had booked a sea view room only to be greeted with an upgrade to the honeymoon suit care of the management. An amazing view and a lovely room which was very comfortable. The wedding reception was amazing and the room was beyond our expectations. The evening went very smoothly much to the thanks of Jake who was looking after us and making sure everything went to plan. Breakfast in bed the following day, lovely food and to wake up to such a view looking out across Bournemouth beach and surrounding areas really made it for us. Overall we had an amazing time, all our friends/family who came and/or stayed really enjoyed themselves, they thought the location and setting was lovely. We cannot thank the hotel staff & management enough for all that they did.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

"A Classic Favorite Returns"
The answer is yes! Dunnett's first volume of her 15th century series is sublime, even if my heart belongs to Lymond. This digital production updates my venerable '90s audiocassette version, and I hope it will be followed with the other 7 volumes so I may add them to my collection.
On this "listen" I enjoyed the comic moments, too many to count.
His reading brings an energetic pace that helps move the complex story forward. His variety of voices and accents, along with the challenges of pronunciation, kept me riveted.
Claes and Felix.
Run, don't walk, to your computer and order it.
"Chilling, Not Chillin'"
I was attracted to this book due to comparisons to Smilla's Sense of Snow, and I wasn't disappointed. Great premise, interesting characters and good action/suspense, even if I had to suspend my skeptical nature for a while.
I look forward to other works by Ms. Elo--keep it coming, thanks for the entertainment.
"A Favorite Fantasy Series, Continued"
It took me while to get to this novel, part of a favorite series, since I "had" to listen to the first three stories set in this world (The Silent Tower, Silicon Mage and Dogwizard, all newly released in audio). I tossed my usual strict monthly-credit discipline to the winds and--gasp--purchased one book as a fill-in because I just couldn't wait for the days to tick past till my next credit was due.
Anne Flosnik is a warm, accessible and varied narrator, bringing life and velocity to what is a story of family, expectations, love, the vulnerability of children and obsessives. And magic.
It's a fun story with lots of twists and turns in the middle, focused on unlikely pairings and the joys of love whether pursued or stumbled upon.
Listening to the descriptions of this worlds' mages using crystals to focus and communicate with their fellows, I said: "Of course, it's magical Skype!"
"Just Riveting"
I'm well into the listen and am entranced. I know it's a two-parter and that it contains many of the themes and characters of Willis' previous novels--and that's fine for me. The breadth of characters and points of view are complex, but manageable in the listen with the different accents of the narrator. Looking forward to savoring the remainder. It keeps me going at the gym. . .

Hotel review overview
A mediocre hotel with excellent staff
- Hotel not recommended
- Friends
- Business trip
- October 2014
An ok hotel, but the 4-star rating is definitely given only because of the roof-top pool. Located in run-down area, but within easy connection to downtown by metro (you need to walk about 10 min to the nearest station, though). The hotel is rather run-down, rooms and corridors smell (former due to too strong cleaning fluids, latter due to obvious problems with plumbing). The staff is the best feature the hotel has - very friendly, helpful, and multi-lingual - they go out of their way to compensate for the shortcomings of the hotel. I stayed in many Novotels around the ... world, and this one is definitely among the worst in the chain facilities-wise, but with the best staff ever. read hotel review

This hotel is an interesting find, my comments are as follows: This hotel is in the Omonia district so is surrounded by some of the least attractive and poorest parts of Athens. I was told that it was unsafe to walk in the area, especially at night, I can believe this but I had no problems. Taxis within the city are cheap and plentiful 24 hours a day. I suspect the room rate reflects the location. The hotel has a pool, bar and restaurant on its rooftop. The view of Athens from here is fantastic, especially at night. The rooms ... are Novotel standard. Functional, not huge with a small fridge, safe and TV. The room had aircon though this only operated whilst the room was occupied. The bathroom is relatively small but clean. I cannot comment on the food served in the hotel but the beer is fine. 2 minutes walk away is a falafel takeaway for just one Euro, this is extremely popular with locals and great value. Overall, my feeling is you will not find another Western style chain hotel at these prices in the heart of Athens City. You can pay more for a better area or have better quality much further out of the city. It's a good compromise on both. I would stay again-) read hotel review

Even though the stay at the Novotel Athens was rather short, I believe this hotel to be a pretty good 3*** hotel, rather than a bad 4****. The breakfast was a little bit messy, recalling the bad organisation of some of low cost hotels I was staying at. I am quite used to some other Novotels and I must admit that this is not the best one I have been staying at, most probably due to the financial crisis that Greece is currently facing. The walls, curtains and carpets definitely need a good refresh. On the other hand, the price ... paid (€ 60, including breakfast) remains a good value for money. read hotel review

Overall ok. I would not stay again since it is just far away from any major sight seeing spot. The next sight seeing bus stop f.eg. is about 10 minutes walk distant. The hotel is located in a district with lots of locals and migrants, you will have a overall impression of Athens therefore. The pool is worn and since there were lots of guests with children it was not usable during the afternoon (at least if you wanted to swim and relax). It was not the business Novotel I was expecting, rather a mid-class family hotel. read hotel review

A city hotel has gotten a bit old and unfortunately in a poor district of athens is. The room is spacious, features a modern, large bathroom and a safe-but carpet renovated. The nearest metro station liege in the immediate vicinity (about 3-5 minutes' walk) - at night you should better take a taxi. Bar/restaurant on the roof with stunning view of Akropolis - in the evening absolutely recommendable a drink. Pool is unfortunately not so inviting like in the pictures of the hotels, is also renovated. read hotel review

I just bought the newest version of the Nexus 7 the other day, and decided I'd like to root it since I never bothered to with my old one. Big mistake. I followed what seemed like really simple instructions online, but after doing everything it said, my tablet is stuck in reboot mode. At first, it would show the Google symbol when I turned it on, with the little unlocked padlock at the bottom. Then it would show the circular colour symbol that would just keep moving -- no matter how long I left my tablet on it would just stay in this mode. Most things I've researched online so far just say "easy fix, go into fastboot mode and it will go back to normal". My problem is that sometimes it doesn't even let me see that screen, so I have to hold the power and volume button down several times in a row to see anything. Sometimes it will go straight to the Google symbol. When it finally did work, I pressed 'Recovery Mode' and the Google symbol appeared, this time without the padlock underneath it. Now it has switched from the circular colour symbol to the X colour symbol, but it still won't go past this. Also when I first reboot it, it shows the dead Android after the Google symbol, then a minute or so later the coloured X will appear.
Anyone know how to help? I've also read about restoring to factory settings and downloading all of these mirror images, but frankly I haven't found a solid 'how-to' yet. I am a Mac user so please only reply with someone I can fix with compatible software.
If anyone could help me this I would really appreciate it. I am stubborn and this will drive me nuts until I find a solution.

A sensing device detects "flashing" in a refrigerant liquid line, upstream from the expansion valves of the evaporators of a refrigeration system. In response, a valve opens in a line extending between the compressor discharge line and a receiver, to bypass discharge vapor into the receiver, thus raising the head pressure to an extent sufficient to satisfy the requirement for a steady liquid refrigerant flow at the expansion valve. The head pressure is raised only to the minimal extent necessary to satisfy this requirement. Disclosed is a sensor of the type incorporating a sight glass in the path of a beam extending between photoelectric cells, though other sensing devices of an equivalent nature can be used. The invention can comprise a single sensing device in the liquid line extending to one or more evaporators connected in parallel. Alternatively, one may utilize separate sensing devices, one for each of several evaporators connected in parallel, with each sensing device having the capability of operating the valve, thus to assure a minimal but sufficient head pressure within the liquid line sufficient to maintain a liquid refrigerant seal at the expansion valve where flashing has been detected by its associated sensor.
1. In a refrigerating system essentially including at least one each of the following; namely, a compressor, a condenser, a surge receiver having top and bottom portions, and an evaporator, and in which there is a compressor gas discharge line that extends from the compressor to the condenser, a refrigerant supply line through which refrigerant, bypassing the receiver, flows directly from the condenser to the evaporator, a connecting line extending from the bottom of the receiver to the refrigerant supply line, a head pressure control line connected between the top portion of the receiver and the compressor discharge line, an expansion valve in the refrigerant supply line, and a refrigerant return line extending from the evaporator to the compressor, the improvement comprising:
(a) a sensing device for detecting flashing of the refrigerant in the refrigerant supply line upstream from the expansion valve, said sensing device, in the absence of flashing, normally being in a non-operating mode, said device switching to a second, operating mode upon but not before the occurrence of said flashing;
(b) normally closed valve means connected in the head pressure control line to control flow therethrough, said valve means being opened by the sensing device upon operation thereof to its second position, for dumping gas from the compressor gas discharge line into the top portion of the receiver through the head pressure control line to increase the head pressure in the refrigerant supply line means responsive to the detection of the flashing, said valve adapted to remain open only for that period of time necessary to elevate the head pressure in the refrigerant supply line means sufficiently to eliminate the flashing condition.
2. In a refrigerating system the improvement of claim 1 wherein the valve is electrically controlled and the sensing device is adapted to produce an electrical control signal effective to govern operation of the valve.
3. In a refrigerating system the improvement of claim 2 in which there is a power circuit electrically connected with the valve, a source of electrical power, and the sensing device, adapted to amplify the signal from the sensing device and control of power from said source to the valve as a response to said amplification.
4. In a refrigerating system the improvement of claim 1 in which there is a plurality of evaporators, there being a single detecting device upstream from at least one of said evaporators.
5. In a refrigerating system the improvement of claim 4 in which the refrigerant supply line comprises a liquid line extending from the condenser and comprising the portion of the refrigerant supply line that communicates with the receiver, and a plurality of evaporator inlet branch lines extending from the liquid line to the several evaporators, the detecting devices being mounted in the respective branch lines.
6. In a refrigerating system the improvement of claim 4 in which each sensing device, upon detecting flashing within the branch line in which it is mounted, is individually adapted to control the means for dumping gas into the receiver from the compressor discharge line.
7. In a refrigerating system the improvement of claim 1 in which there is a plurality of evaporators, there being a separate detecting device for each of said evaporators.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates, in general, to refrigeration systems, especially those of the commercial type used in the refrigeration of display cases in supermarkets or similar establishments. In a more particular sense, the invention has reference to automatic controls utilizing an element or elements sensitive to an undesirable condition developing in a refrigerant, and effective under these circumstances to automatically elevate head pressure to a value that overcomes the sensed condition.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In a commercial refrigeration system of the type used in supermarkets or similar establishments, the condition known as "flashing" develops, not infrequently, in the liquid line extending from the condenser to one or more evaporators incorporated in the system. Desirably, a liquid seal, that is, refrigerant in a completely liquid state, should exist at the expansion valve of each evaporator of the system. Maintenance of the liquid seal prevents the "starving" of the expansion valve associated with each evaporator, that is to say, each evaporator should be supplied continuously with a steady flow of liquid refrigerant if it is to operate at peak efficiency. The existence of a vapor-liquid combination at the expansion valve results in a consequent, often serious reduction in the level of operating efficiency.
Heretofore, it has been proposed to increase the operating efficiency of the evaporators by prevention or minimizing of flashing and the starving of expansion valves. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,167,102 to Willitts, issued Sept. 11, 1979 and owned by the assignee of the present application, discloses means for preventing starving of the evaporators in a refrigeration system in which a saturated gaseous refrigerant is utilized for defrost purposes. And, in Willitts application Ser. No. 022,583 filed Mar. 21, 1979, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,231,229 also owned by the assignee of the present application, a means for controlling receiver pressures is disclosed, having among other purposes the prevention of starving of the expansion valves.
These devices are fully efficient for their intended applications, especially in that they attack and solve problems in systems utilizing a reverse flow of gaseous refrigerant ("hot gas", "cool gas", or a combination thereof). However, the present invention approaches the problem of flashing of the refrigerant and starving of the expansion valves in a different way. Hence, the present invention solves similar problems in a way that permits it to be used to advantage in systems in which the controls of the prior art do not function with an equivalent efficiency.
Summarized briefly, the invention is particularly designed to permit the head pressure to drop, at the inlet side of a conventional thermostatic expansion valve of an evaporator, until flashing (that is to say, a vapor-liquid combination) manifests itself at that location. In accordance with the invention, the presence of flashing at the inlet of the expansion valve is thereupon instantly detected by a device sensitive to this condition. The sensing device responds by operating a valve provided in a bypass line between the compressor discharge and the receiver of the system, to produce a flow of discharge gas into the receiver, thereby raising the head pressure in the area of the valve. The flow of the discharge gas to the receiver, and the raising of the head pressure from the value at which it permitted flashing to occur, continues only to the extent necessary to restore a liquid seal at the expansion valve inlet, that is to say, only so long as the flashing of the refrigerant persists. Upon restoration of the liquid seal at the location of the expansion valve, the sensing device acts to cut off the bypassing of the discharge gas to the receiver. In this way, the head pressure at the location of each expansion valve is maintained at a minimal value effective to maintain the desired liquid seal on the inlet side of each and every expansion valve. Maintaining the head pressure at this minimal but efficient value acts to prevent starving of the expansion valve, while at the same time acting to decrease power consumption and increase the capacity of the compressor or compressors utilized in the refrigerating system.
While the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portions herein, a preferred embodiment is set forth in the following detailed description which may be best understood when read in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a refrigerating system utilizing the automatic head pressure control means constituting the present invention, there being a separate sensing device for each evaporator of the system; and
FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of a refrigerating system in which a single sensing device is common to the several evaporators of the system.
The invention is used to advantage in typical commercial refrigeration systems, such as those used to refrigerate display cases in supermarkets or similar business establishments. Thus, and referring to FIG. 1, there is illustrated by way of example a refrigerating system including a plurality of compressors 10, 12, 14 connected in parallel to discharge compressed gaseous refrigerant through a common header 16 into a hot gas discharge line 18 to a condenser 20 desirably cooled by ambient air, and of sufficient capacity to condenser the entire output of the three compressors. Condenser 20 delivers liquid refrigerant through a condenser drain line 22, and liquid line 24, through a pressure responsive valve 26. A surge receiver 28 communicates at its bottom with liquid line 24, through a connecting line 30.
Liquid line 24 is connected to a series of evaporators connected in parallel, as shown at 32, 34. The evaporators are provided at their inlet ends with expansion valves 36, 38 respectively. Refrigerant entering the evaporators through the expansion valves from the liquid line flows back to the compressors through return lines 42a, 42b which are in communication with a common return header 44 communicating with suction line 45 common to the several compressors.
The invention is not limited to a system utilizing multiple compressors and/or multiple evaporators. It may be employed advantageously in systems utilizing one or more compressors, as well as one or more evaporators. Typically, however, a commercial installation in a supermarket will be as shown, utilizing a multiplicity of compressors connected in parallel, and a bank of evaporators which, in the same system, would also be in parallel.
The improvement comprising the present invention has been generally designated 46 in FIG. 2 and in the presently preferred embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, has been generally designated 46a.
In the FIG. 1 embodiment of the invention, separate sensing devices 48a, 48b have been mounted to sense the condition of liquid refrigerant entering the evaporators 32, 34 respectively through evaporator inlet lines 49a, 49b.
The sensing devices, in the illustrated embodiment, comprise sight glasses, which are mounted directly in the respect evaporator inlet lines. Liquid refrigerant flowing to the expansion valves thus passes through the sight glasses, immediately upstream of the respective expansion valves.
The refrigerant, at this location, is desirably in a fully liquid form, to provide a solid column of liquid at the inlet to each thermostatic expansion valve, that is to say, a liquid seal at each valve location.
Maintenance of the liquid seal at the location of each expansion valve is, however, not always achieved during the normal operation of a refrigerating system of the character illustrated and described. In particular, flashing takes place at one or more expansion valves, not infrequently. When this happens, the integrity of the liquid seal is broken, in that instead of a solid column of liquid being presented to the expansion valve, there is, instead, a vapor-liquid combination.
The refrigerant, when the condition known as flashing occurs, loses its normal clarity, that is to say, from a condition in which it has the visual characteristics of clear water, it volatilizes to a cloudy appearance and will reflect any light ray directed toward it.
At this point, it may be noted that there can be additional evaporators, as well as additional sensors associated with the additional evaporators, as illustrated schematically in FIG. 1. For the purposes of the present disclosure, however, the invention will be described as though there were only two evaporators and two associated sensing devices, one for each of them.
Designated at 56 is a conventional solenoid valve, which controls flow through a line 58 communicating between the compressor discharge line 18 and the top of the surge receiver 28. Between the surge receiver and the solenoid valve, there is provided in the present instance a conventional check valve 60. This is arranged to prevent any flow from the receiver to the compressor discharge line, in the event the receiver pressure should exceed that in the compressor discharge line in a situation in which the solenoid valve 56 happens to be open.
Electrical circuits in which the operation of equipment of devices, in this case the solenoid valve 56, is controlled by means of one or more phototubes, are in and of themselves notoriously old and well known. These so-called "electric eye" circuits are thus illustrated in a very basic, schematic way herein. In FIG. 1, sight glasses 48a, 48b are respectively disposed in positions to intercept light beams directed from light sources 52a, 52b to phototubes 50a, 50b respectively. The phototubes are separately connected by leads 54a, 54b respectively to a conventional power circuit 63, connected to a source of electrical power 64 and controlling the operation of the solenoid valve 56 through leads 62. In the typical "electric eye" power circuit, the signal resulting from the action of light impressed upon the cathode of the phototube is amplified within the typical electric eye power circuit shown, to operate a relay or the like within the power circuit, to control the flow of current from the power source 64 to the solenoid 56.
Referring to evaporator 34 by way of example, if refrigerant is flowing through the sight glass 48b in a fully clear, liquid condition, maintaining a good liquid seal at the expansion valve 38, there is no interruption of the light beam between light source 52b and phototube 50b. In these circumstances, the phototube is energized to impress a signal on the power circuit 63 illustrated in FIG. 1. Assume the valve 56 is of the type in which it is normally closed when de-energized. The appropriate relay or other equivalent means of circuit 63 in this event may be normally energized in the presence of the signal from phototube 50b, to hold the circuit open between the source of power and the solenoid.
This would be the normal, efficient operation in a condition in which there is no flashing at the inlet side of any of the expansion valves. In these circumstances, the head pressure is high enough, within the liquid line 24 and hence in the evaporator inlet lines 49a, 49b, to maintain a good liquid seal at the expansion valve locations. There would thus be no reason to artificially maintain the head pressure at these locations any higher than necessary to maintain a good seal and, consequently, good and efficient operation of the evaporators.
If the head pressure should fall, no problems result at the location of the expansion valves unless and until the pressure falls to the point where it produces liquid flashing within one or more of the sight glasses. When this happens, as indicated above, the solenoid valve is opened immediately and by causing the flow of hot gas from the discharge line 18 into the receiver, produces added pressure upon the liquid within the receiver and hence upon the liquid refrigerant flowing through the liquid line 24 and the evaporator inlet lines. The valve remains open, and the head pressure within the liquid line rises, only to the extent necessary to eliminate the flashing condition and restore the desired condition in which there is a solid column of liquid at the inlet side of the affected expansion valve or valves.
The connection of the phototubes to the power circuit would, of course, in FIG. 1 be such as to cause the solenoid valve to be opened when flashing is detected in any of the evaporator inlet lines. It is not necessary that flashing occur in all the lines before the valve opens.
In FIG. 2, a single sight glass 48 is in the path of a beam of light between light source 52 and phototube 50 connected by leads 54 to the power circuit 63. In this instance a single sight glass controls flashing for all the evaporators and can be located anywhere in the liquid line 24 upstream from the evaporator or evaporators to which the liquid refrigerant flows through the liquid line.
In the illustrated examples, the sensing means has been illustrated as a sight glass, light source, and phototube. However, the invention contemplates the use of other sensing devices operative to detect the existence of a flashing of the liquid refrigerant. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,138,879 issued Feb. 13, 1979 discloses a detector for use in a refrigerating system, adapted to detect the existence of bubbles in a liquid coolant. The detecting device as shown in that patent could be used advantageously in place of the phototube and sight glass and the disclosure in that patent, in reference to the detecting device itself and the amplifying circuit associated therewith, is incorporated by reference in the present disclosure, as a means that can be substituted for the phototube and the conventional amplifying circuit used therewith in a manner effective to produce a response in a power circuit for controlling operation of the solenoid valve.
In a working embodiment of the invention, it may be possible to eliminate the conventional condenser flooding valve 26, since the head pressure control derives directly from sensing of the refrigerant condition at its critical point, that is to say, the point at which it enters the expansion valve or valves of the system. Many systems also include receiver pressure controlling valves of the type disclosed, for example, in Taft et al U.S. Pat. No. 3,905,202 owned by the assignee of the present application. Whether one or more of these presently known valves can be dispensed with may depend, of course, upon the extent or complexity of the particular system, the environment in which it is located, and upon other conditions including, for example, sizing of the piping, and the number and capacity of the evaporator, compressors, and the condenser. In other words, while the present invention has real value in producing efficient operation with a minimum expenditure of energy for operation of the compressors, and with minimum loss of compressor capacity, no claim is made that it will in every instance permit eliminination of the receiver pressure control valve arrangements and/or the pressure responsive valve 26 now mounted in the liquid line to control condenser flooding.
It is also believed that in order to keep the solenoid valve from opening and closing too rapidly, a time delay circuit may be required to lock the solenoid valve in its open conditon for perhaps five or ten seconds after the sight glass has cleared and has indicated once again the presence of a solid column of liquid at the affected expansion valve. Such circuits are well known in the art as means for controlling solenoid valves.
It is also though that a receiver pressure regulator may be advisable, in series with the solenoid valve 56, to keep the receiver pressure from rising too rapidly, and to act as a fail-safe, in the event of the possible failure of the valve 56 to operate normally.
It is believed mainly important to note that the invention comprehends substantially instantaneous detection of a fishing condition in the supply of liquid refrigerant present to one or more expansion valves of the refrigerating system, and an automatic response to such detection comprehending the opening of a flow of hot gas from the compressor discharge line to an area of the receiver, in which the gas dumped into the receiver will exert an internal pressure within the receiver effective to elevate the head pressure in the liquid line to that extent needed for the purpose of restoring a solid column of liquid and a good liquid seal at the affected expansion valve. The invention further comprehends permitting head pressure within the liquid line to float downwardly--as distinguished from maintaining it at an artificially preselected level--until flashing occurs, at which point the disclosed automatic response is effected to raise the head pressure only to the extent necessary to eliminate the flashing condition. This leaves the head pressure at the lowest value, at the location of the expansion valves, to which it can safely descend without breaking the integrity of the liquid seal at the location of the expansion valves.
While particular embodiments of this invention have been shown in the drawings and described above, it will be apparent that many changes may be made in the form, arrangement and positioning of the various elements of the combination. In consideration thereof it should be understood that preferred embodiments of this invention disclosed herein are intended to be illustrative only and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

Plane Crash Cause Still Unknown
Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the Germanwings crash the morning of Tuesday, March 24, that resulted in the loss of 150 people — 6 crew members and 144 passengers — who were traveling from Barcelona in Spain to Düsseldorf in Germany.
Theories about the reason for the crash include the possibility that the plane suddenly lost altitude, perhaps because of a technical issue, fire or explosion, and the pilot could not unlock the door because he was attempting to prevent the crash. The pilot might also have been unconscious because of a sudden drop in cabin pressure.
Terrorist action has not been ruled out. The gradual descent seems to indicate human intervention even as French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve reassured the public that terrorism wasn't a "likely hypothesis" at that point in the investigation.

Christmas morning 1993, Christopher poses with the cheerful chairs hand-painted by his aunt Teresa Alto, pictured, and uncle Jeremy Faden.
When I rummaged through storage boxes labeled "Christmas" last week, I unexpectedly found myself on a journey into the past 22 years.
I had been hoping to quickly locate the glass ornaments painted by my twin sons in early grade school, but instead was pausing to look at drawings of little stick-figure Santa Clauses and reindeer, construction paper ornaments decorated with macaroni and popsicle sticks, and clear plastic balls containing photos of the boys grinning from ear to ear. I couldn't pinpoint what years they made any of these treasures, but each one was a tender reminder of their childhoods.
Ever wish you could travel back in time? Even for a quick look to see if things really were as you remember them?
We know the past is never coming back, but that doesn't stop us from ruminating about life events, long-lost friends and the places we once inhabited.
It's funny how the mind plays tricks on you this time of year.
You think you have plenty of time for decking the halls, shopping for seasonal foods, baking holiday treats, and suddenly you have the sinking realization there are only a couple days before the get-together you're hosting and your to-do list is longer than Santa's.
I'm a political junkie. I follow political horse races with the same enthusiasm that others follow their favorite sports teams.
The seeds were planted decades ago. I remember my parents joking that they cancelled each other out the first time they voted in a national election. Mom preferred Adlai Stevenson, while Dad liked Ike.
It's a glorious autumn day; the sun is shining down on leaves that have turned lemon yellow, dusky orange and mahogany red.
As I pause every so often to gaze out a window, a few lines from a Rodgers and Hammerstein song run through my head:
"I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm, I'm as jumpy as puppet on a string, ... I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams, I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing."
Writer Mary Lee Hagert's son Kevin stands atop a craggy butte in majestic Theodore Roosevelt National Park. (photos by Mary Lee Hagert/Review)
I've just returned from the Wild West, and I'm not referring to the re-enactment of 1890s gunslingers shooting up Main Street in Deadwood, S.D.
No, I mean the new Wild West, the one that's cropped up more than a century after the days when drifters got into quick-draw duels on the Dakota Territory's High Plains.
A vacation in the Dakotas wasn't on my family's radar a month ago. But after discovering all the campsites were reserved at our top choice -- Rocky Mountain National Park -- we weren't sure where to go.
On one of our rare warm evenings this spring, I hustled out of the Oakdale Target store with hopes of getting home in time to squeeze in a bike ride before nightfall.
It's an unusually quiet store, and the parking lot was nearly deserted as I settled in behind the steering wheel. Just as I was reaching for the car door, I heard a faint bird song off in the distance.

Alsace Willm Riesling 2012
Alsace Willm - Alsace - France
Professional Wine Reviews for Alsace Willm Riesling 2012Additional information »
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Riesling grapes have been grown in and around central Europe for centuries, and over time, they became the lasting symbol of south Germany's ancient and proud wine culture. Whilst the reputation of German wines abroad has in the past been mixed, the Germans themselves take an enormous amount of pride in their wineries, and Riesling grapes have now spread around the globe, growing anywhere with the correct climate in which they can thrive. Riesling grape varietals generally require much cooler climatic conditions than many other white grapes, and they are generally considered to be a very 'terroir expressive' varietal, meaning that the features and characteristics of the terroir they are grown on comes across in the flavors and aromas in the bottle. It is this important feature which has allowed Riesling wines to be elevated into the category of 'fine' white wines, as the features of the top quality bottles are generally considered to be highly unique and offer much to interest wine enthusiasts.
For lovers of fine white and rosé wines, there are few regions in the world quite as good as France's Alsace. The region itself is a particularly fascinating one, as it has long been fought over by France and Germany, resulting in a culture and wine industry which is something of a blend of the two countries. Wines in Alsace are almost all white, although there are more wineries now producing the pale red or pinkish Pinot Noir wines which the region is also renowned for. Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Muscat are also grown in huge quantities across the Alsace, and most of the region's wines are made from these varietals. Overall, Alsace is a highly productive region of France, with over a hundred million liters of wine being produced annually from the nine permitted grape varietals the region grows.
France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.

Model Kloss wouldn't miss fashion week 'reunion'
NEW YORK (AP) - Karlie Kloss is a favorite finale model, closing the catwalk again Wednesday at Michael Kors at New York Fashion Week. She did the same the night before, escorting Oscar de la Renta for his bow.
It's these close ties to fashion designers that put her on the red-eye from Los Angeles after the Grammy Awards on Sunday so she could make it to Carolina Herrera's runway bright and early the next morning.
"These are my friends. That's why I got back in time. It's a family reunion at fashion week," Kloss said.
She did have a blast acting as MTV's red-carpet hostess and style expert. "It was really interesting to be on the other side. I got to talk to Jennifer Lopez about her Anthony Vaccarello gown- and I was in the Anthony Vaccarello show," Kloss said in an interview Tuesday.
"I don't know everything about music, but my knowledge of fashion let me enjoy it all and I could bring that element to it. ... It was full circle, and that made it fun."
Still, Kloss said, while she is still offered runway work, it's her first love. She recently took in a fashion show in Berlin for the first time as a front-row guest. "I'd rather be walking, but the experience did give me a new perspective. I might be a little more aware of what I look like."
Kloss is serving as Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week's fashion ambassador. One of the perks is a new car, which she uses to visit her parents in upstate New York. "You don't need a car in New York- it's a total luxury."
Don't expect to see her behind the wheel on snow days, though. She's describes herself as a "mediocre driver."

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Massachusetts scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.
Please see our writing guidelines if you would like to add results from an individual scorecard to this legislator's profile.

If it is slow, it's likely they run on different networks or even operated by different parties.I wonder if the recent Apple CDN rumor will help address it. They may need to "own" and upgrade more of the infrastructure to improve the QoS. That and the SMS/MMS side fixes (for non-iOS users) seem unavoidable.

Gorgeous. Make sure you understand diamond grades and dimensions and you'll know exactly what to expect. I love mine. Very dainty and feminine. If you lady is a 'less is more' type of woman, she'll love it. If she is one who likes big and clunky, it wouldn't be for her. :)
Phyllis, Atlanta, GA – March 2015
I love this necklace and wear it just about everyday! The heart shaped diamond is small as described but has a great quality. It looks understated and elegant. I returned it to have the chain shortened to 16'' - the 18'' is too long for the size of the diamond. It is now perfect!
Anonymous, El Cerrito, CA – September 2014
My wife has a .58 carat wedding ring with an exceptional stone.This year we will be married 15 years. Heart shaped diamonds are not easy to find. I found Blue Nile from a search. I saw this necklace and had no hesitation in purchasing this due to their 30 return policyIt arrived packaged as promised, with 2 copies of the appraisal and the certification papers. The gift card was printed on heavy stock in a proper envelope. The diamond is beautiful, reflective and bright. WE are very happy.
