Head northwest on Interstate 96 outside of Detroit for about an hour and you'll run into the charming city of Howell. As the city is home to many area festivals, full of Midwestern pride and boasting an excellent quality of life, it doesn't get much better than being a resident in Howell apartments for rent. With its young population, family-friendliness, charming tree-lined streets and easy access to other great cities in Michigan, living in Howell apartments puts you in the center of everything that's wonderful about the Great Lakes State.
Howell is home to some pretty exciting community events and attractions for residents living in Howell apartments for rent, including the Howell Fantasy of Lights Parade during the holiday season, a bustling farmers market that's open from May to October and the annual Michigan Motown Golf Classic - a combination of the sweet sounds of Motown, a muscle car show and golf contests. Other exciting events include the Michigan Challenge Balloonfest and the Livingston County Home and Garden Show. Just from the many events and festivals in the area, you can clearly see all of reasons why apartments in Howell are so popular.
The city has seen a modest growth in population from 2000 to 2011, and Howell's affordable lifestyle definitely has a lot to do with it. According to City-Data, the overall cost of living index in 2012 for people living in Howell apartments for rent was more than 9 percent less expensive than the average U.S. home. As if that wasn't enough, the median household income is also on the rise - jumping more than $5,000 between 2000 and 2009. AreaVibes gave Howell a liveability score of 79 due to the city's local amenities, low cost of living, high graduation rates and stable housing market, all of which is available for people living in Howell apartments.
With its fantastic location between the University of Michigan and Michigan State University, there are plenty of opportunities for students in Howell. Because it is so close to both schools, this explains the youthful atmosphere in many apartments for rent in Howell. Howell is also home to some of the biggest company branches in the country, including DMI Automotive, Pepsi-Cola Bottling Group, American Compounding Specialties, Citizens Insurance Company and Transtar Autobody Technologies. Many Tier I and Tier II automotive suppliers have made Howell home due to its desirable access to nearby manufacturing facilities.

Welcome...The art community we have fostered here for 90 years is alive and well! It is a community full of rich experiences, shared passions, creative conversations and special connections through the offering of art exhibits in Winnetka.
Our community doesn't happen on a screen, it happens when we talk to each other at an exhibit; it happens when we get messy in a class; it happens when we sit around a table together to work on projects; it happens when we meet new friends at League events.
We welcome you to our studios and galleries anytime – we'd love to see you! We invite you to explore our adult art classes and art classes for children.
Linda Nelson
Executive Director

I was supposed to go to the last autocross race of the clubs season. However its pouring rain out, and my car sucks in the rain. So Im making beer instead. Not having any covered out door areas makes this much harder. But in the spirit of home brewing creativeness and making do, I pulled the umbrella out of the deck table and set it free standing in its base on the deck. Here is to making beer in the rain.
Now I just need a good name for the porter. Poring Rain Porter? Postponement Porter?
Kudos for making the best of a bad situation.
Precipitation Porter??
Deluge decoction?
I really gotta shop for a life
Almost every time ive brewed this summer on a weekend it ended up raining. Those beers that i made were some of my best so far!!! Good Luck.
I have a nice boil going now. As I was sitting out there waiting I thought of "Precipitation Porter" as well. I think I'm going to go with that.
It feels strange brewing and not drinking. But I try not to start before Noon. Oh well.
Maybe you'll slow your boil off rate.
Who knows?
Blue Eyes Brewin' in the Rain - Hank Williams
Yeah I decided to say F it and crack one open. I was only 30min early. And here is where I was brewing. Sorry its a cell phone picture.
Box of Rain porter
Last time I brewed in the rain the only problem I had was that I ended up losing only .75-1gallon during a 60min boil with the lid on my kettle about 50%. So I had over 6gallons going into my primary instead of 5.5.
I'm brewing on Monday and it's been raining off an on here for a few days but Monday is supposed to be clear.

Signs of life?
|| Print |
|Ben Jacklet
|Tuesday, June 09, 2009
Turns out her company isn't going under. They're boosting her hours and expanding her responsibilities to keep up with new orders. And they aren't the only ones climbing out of the abyss. Banks are paying back their TARP loans, markets are rebounding powerfully, the clean tech sector is taking off and even Oregon's Index of Economic Indicators is showing signs of life, finally. Clean energy jobs grew by 50 percent in Oregon from 1998 to 2007. This doesn't counter the losses in timber and manufacturing, but it helps. My last six face-to-face interviews have been with two CEOs, an Intel Fellow, a consumer watchdog, and a federally appointed administrator, and not one of them mentioned the economy in ominous terms. That wouldn't have been the case a few months ago; what else was there to talk about then?
A year ago I was feeling more pessimistic than your average bear; now I've got the opposite feeling. The change might have something to do with my quest to find companies that plan to add jobs rather than subtract them over the coming year and beyond. Recent nominees include Bend's PV Powered, which scored another round of financing this week, Portland's Stalk Market, which may have solved the puzzle of the biodegradable coffee cup lid (hello? Starbucks?), the fast-growing flash video producer AngelVision and Chinese battery and car company BYD.
What does a Chinese battery and car company have to do with jobs in Oregon? Time will tell, but here are a few hints: 1. The one non-Chinese member of BYD's board works for Warren Buffett 2. That same guy also oversees Oregon's second largest utility. 3. That utility (every utility) needs a better way to store power when the wind blows, and to charge electric cars, possibly using solar power. 4. BYD is considering expanding into Oregon. 5. BYD's new electric car is hitting the Chinese market later this year, with a range of 250 miles. The company is a global leader in electric cars, solar power and energy storage.
All right, so the previous paragraph was pure speculation. But you have to admit it's kind of cool to consider a future where you carry stored electricity around with you, in your car battery, maybe recharge it in a parking lot with help from the sun. If that scenario sounds far-fetched, hey, so did the notion of easily editing video, playing music and building Powerpoint presentations on a $400 laptop. The guy who invented USB reminded me of this the other day. He works in Oregon, and his team has ambitious plans.
Are we seeing signs of life? Or am I drinking the Kool-Aid?

Since 1932 Tidewater Transportation & Terminals (operating as Tidewater Barge Lines and Tidewater Terminal Company) has operated a multicommodity transportation and terminal company based in Vancouver, Washington. The friendly expression on the company's shipping containers reflects the attitude of about 330 safety and community-conscious employees but belies how complicated the barge business really is.
The Port of The Dalles has run marine facilities since the 1930s, but they are part of a larger mission to strengthen the local economy. They focus on regional economic development with a strong bent toward adding good-paying jobs in high tech, manufacturing and other industries.

"The entry into force of the U.S.-Korea trade agreement on March 15, 2012, means countless new opportunities for U.S. exporters to sell more made-in-America goods, services and agricultural products to Korean customers -- and to support more good jobs here at home."
Thus did the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative rhapsodize about the potential of our new trade treaty with South Korea.
And how has it worked out for Uncle Sam?
Well, courtesy of Martin Crutsinger of The Associated Press, the trade figures are in for April, the first full month under the trade deal with South Korea.
And, surprise! The U.S. trade deficit with Korea tripled in one month. Imports from South Korea jumped 15 percent to $5.5 billion in April, while U.S. exports to South Korea fell 12 percent to $3.7 billion. Suddenly, the U.S. trade deficit with Seoul surged to an annual rate of $22 billion.
Shades of NAFTA. When it passed in 1993, we had a $1.6 billion trade surplus with Mexico. By 2010, our trade deficit with Mexico had reached $61.6 billion.
There is other news of interest in those trade figures for those who chronicle the industrial decline of the United States.
In 2011, America ran the largest trade deficit ever with a single nation, $295.4 billion, with China. But this year, the U.S. trade deficit with China is running 12 percent ahead of 2011.
And the U.S. trade deficit with the world is now back up over $600 billion a year.
What do these mammoth and mounting deficits mean?
A deepening dependence on foreign nations for the necessities of our national life. A steady erosion of our manufacturing base. A continued stagnation in the real wages of the middle class. And an unending redistribution of America's wealth to foreign lands.
It is no coincidence that the real wages of U.S. workers ceased to rise in the mid-1970s, just as a century of U.S. trade surpluses was coming to an end.
In 1975, we began three decades of trade deficits that grew until, in the Bush II years, they reached 8 percent of the entire economy. These deficits helped to precipitate the Great Recession and helped to prevent our rescue from it.
For just as a trade surplus adds to the gross domestic product of a nation, a trade deficit subtracts from it, substituting foreign goods for U.S.-made goods.
Due to the overwhelming enthusiasm of our readers it has become necessary to transfer our commenting system to a more scalable system in order handle the content.

Compared by critics to Joan Didion and V.S. Naipaul, this brilliant writer's account of a long, painful, ecstatic—and unreciprocated—affair with a country that has long fascinated the world received ecstatic reviews.
Haiti emerged from the dust of the 2010 earthquake like a powerful spirit, and this stunning book describes the country's day-to-day struggle and its relationship to outsiders who come to help out. There are human rights reporters gone awry, movie stars turned aid workers, priests and musicians running for president, doctors turned diplomats. A former US president works as a house builder and voodoo priests try to control elections.
Wilentz traces Haiti's history from its slave plantations through its turbulent revolution, its kick-up-the-dirt guerrilla movements, its totalitarian dynasty that ruled for decades, and its long and always troubled relationship with the United States. Yet through a history of hardship shines Haiti's creative culture—its African traditions, its French inheritance, and its uncanny resilience, a strength that is often confused with resignation.
A foreign correspondent on a simple story becomes, over time and in the pages of this book, a lover of Haiti, pursuing the essence of this beautiful and confounding land into its darkest and brightest corners. Farewell, Fred Voodoo is a spiritual journey into the heart of the human soul, and Haiti has found in Amy Wilentz an author of astonishing wit, sympathy, and eloquence.
Amy Wilentz is the author of The Rainy Season, Martyrs' Crossing, and I Feel Earthquakes More Often Than They Happen. She has won the Whiting Writers Award, the PEN/Martha Albrand Non-Fiction Award, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Rosenthal Award. She writes for The New Yorker and The Nation and teaches in the Literary Journalism program at UC Irvine.
âeoeFarewell, Fred Voodoo showcases all [Wilentzâe(TM)s] formidable gifts as a reporter: her love of, and intimate familiarity with, Haiti; her sense of historical perspective; and her eye for the revealing detail. Like Joan Didion and V. S. Naipaul, she has an ability not only to provide a visceral, physical feel for a place, but also to communicate an existential sense of what itâe(TM)s like to be there as a journalist with a very specific and sometimes highly subjective relationship with her subject.âe
-Michiko Kakutani
âeoeExcellent and illuminatingâe¦.a love letter toâe"and a lament forâe"Haiti, a country with an already strange and tortured history that became even more tragic, interesting and convoluted in the months after the earthquakeâe¦. [Wilentz] brings to Haiti empathy and her great skills as a narratorâe¦.it's Wilentz's honesty about her own role in Haiti and that of so many other American visitors to that country that ultimately distinguishes her book most from other works that cover similar terrain.âe
"A veteran journalist captures the functioning chaos of Haiti. ... An extraordinarily frank cultural study/memoir that eschews platitudes of both tragedy and hope."
âeoeFarewell, Fred Voodoo is engrossing and gorgeous and funny, a meticulously reported story of love for a maddening place. Wilentzâe(TM)s writing is so lyrical itâe(TM)s like hearing a song âe" in this case, the magical, confounding, sad song of Haiti.âe
-Susan Orlean, author of The Orchid Thief and Rin Tin Tin
âeoeFarewell, Fred Voodoo is written with authority and great affection for Haiti and Haitians and for those who are trying to help them. An informative and wonderful piece of writing, it is a work of considerable artistry, immensely evocative. I read it with pleasure and with mounting gratitude.âe
-Tracy Kidder, author of Mountains Beyond Mountains
âeoeAmy Wilentz is a brilliant writer, an ace journalist and, perhaps most important, she is not an outsider. She's the perfect guide through the heartbreak and beauty of post-earthquake Haiti. I was gripped by her respectful and first-hand reporting on Voodoo, and impressed by her enormous sensitivity to the crushing deprivation most Haitians endure.âe
-Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed
âeoeAmy Wilentz knows Haiti deeply: its language, its tragic history, the foibles of her fellow Americans who often miss the story there. This makes her a wise, wry, indispensable guide to a country whose fate has long been so interwoven with our own.âe
-Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopoldâe(TM)s Ghost
âeoeI can't imagine there's a better book about Haitiâe"a smarter, more thoughtful, tough-minded, romantic, plainspoken, intimate, well-reported book. Amy Wilentz has paid exceptionally close attention to this dreamy, nightmarish place for a quarter century, and with Farewell, Fred Voodoo she turns all that careful watching and thinking into a riveting work of nonfiction literature.âe
-Kurt Andersen, author of Heyday and True Believers

Fast StayPosted Mar 22, 2015
Cons: Better parking in theory but didn't seem to have much room.
We checked in late as it was our first stop moving cross country. We chose Best Western because they accepted pets without huge pet fees other properties charge. Everyone we met was very nice, the breakfast area is too small and there is not enough parking but we parked across the street and while I was worried we had no issues. For a budget hotel the rooms were very nice and very clean, excellent housekeeping staff.

A jumble of family ties betrayals and criminal behavior relating to racehorses form the basis of Suzanne Knoebel's novella Heritage. Protagonist Seth Stevens first becomes a player in the thoroughbred industry when his father drowns in the San Francisco Bay. He inherits lands in Kentucky and Indiana long ago granted to the Stevens family by an unspecified English king though in actuality no British royalty ever dispensed legal titles to those territories. The accident upsets Seth only marginally but he becomes quite emotional when that inheritance is put into jeopardy due to questions over his paternity.
Because of a rift with his malicious and promiscuous mother the protagonist briefly allows her to believe that he died along with his father. But as the author puts it "No one was ever free of their ancestry their dreams or obligations." The mother has been such a wayfarer during her marriage that a previously unmentioned half-brother named Tom pops up halfway into the story. Tom a physician telephones from his Doctors Without Borders assignment in Chad. Seth is so glad to hear from someone friendly that he gives Tom his choicest property right away.
Seth's girlfriend Cindy just happens to also be Tom's cousin. Cindy will never be Seth's wife though because he nobly refuses to saddle her with the product of his genes predisposed as they are toward a neuromuscular disease. She seeks solace in greener horse pastures. When suspicion arises that someone may be altering the outcomes of races through the use of illegal technology Seth is tapped to subtly investigate. Answers to the probe begin to turn up and so do a number of Cindy's closest associates. This could be a coincidental red herring or a sign of dark motivation entwined with someone's convoluted family interests.
Heritage has an alarming number of errors and inconsistencies for a novella. Many aspects don't work beginning with an irrelevant indulgent prologue. Set hundreds of years before the main action the prologue features ancestors of the story's lead character arriving at Jamestown settlement saying "'Let's get started building a new nation" though the actual settlers were English in both self-identity and loyalty. The two prepare to go to the "Blue Grass" about 165 years before Daniel Boone actually arrived there.
Between problems with plot credibility historical inaccuracies and a lack of clean copy this book simply shows inadequate diligence. Knoebel the author of four previous novels and the former president of the American College of Cardiologists is capable of much better work as seen in the full-length novel Destiny. Readers should look for that instead to get their money's worth.

Excite truck vs motorstorm graphically but I can't help but think ubisoft are real cheesy with Wii. Where's the wii enhanced fps games and war shooters? Ubisoft pretending to support Wii and really supporting it are two very different things.

A method and apparatus are provided for separating fine oily particles from aqueous liquids at very high flow velocities by passing the mixture upwardly through an unconfined mass of oleophilic granules in a column with adequate velocity to separate and lift the individual granules into the upwardly flowing mixture within the column where movement of the individual granules serves to collect and coalesce the fine oily particles, and finally to release large oil drops back into the mainstream of the upwardly flowing mixture column.

This application is a continuation-in-part of my prior application Ser. No. 440,093, filed Feb. 6, 1974.
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the separation of two immiscible liquids, especially but not exclusively limited to removing contaminating oil from water.
Water/oil separators for removing oil from water are generally based on passing a water/oil mixture through a coalescing media and then separating the two liquids by gravity or, by using gravity separation alone associated with sophisticated geometry within the separator. Coalescing materials in fixed beds, expanded beds, mats, batts, cartridges, etc., are inherently limited to low flow velocities through these media of something less than 0.5 ft/minute because at greater flow velocities the turbulence or agitation created within these media tend to emulsify the contaminating oil rather than coalesce it. In order to achieve a higher degree of clarification of the water effluent, smaller orifices between the material of the coalescing media are required. The smaller the orifices, the more severe the inherent tendency of these coalescing media to clogging by fine particulate material, necessitating more frequent cleaning or replacement. Progressive clogging continually increases the restriction of flow through the coalescing media bed. Each separator using these techniques is, therefore, a compromise between the high degree of water clarification desired and the practical limits imposed by the very low flow rate required to achieve it.
The use of gravity separation also imposes a similar compromise between the degree of water clarification desired and the flow rate because of the long time required to permit the various sizes of fine oil droplets to rise to the surface. To achieve a reasonably high degree of water clarification, a long residence time in a quiescent zone is required. This severely reduces the flow rate through the separator and limits the degree of water clarification which is practical.
The object of this invention is to provide a simple and economical method and apparatus for removing contaminating oil from water, by which it is possible to greatly increase the flow rate, eliminate clogging, insure continuous and uninterrupted operation, increase the degree of clarification of the water effluent, recover more oil, and greatly reduce the size of the apparatus which is required.
This invention is generally applicable to all oily substances susceptible to being coalesced in the presence of the continuous liquid. The method and apparatus described herein are suitable for the separation of many immiscible liquid combinations, so long as the coalescing granules selected have an affinity for the suspended oily particles and not for the continuous liquid phase. Since the invention, however, is primarily directed to the removal of oily particles from water, the invention will be described with reference to its normal form in which the contaminating material is oil, and the aqueous liquid is water.
The method of this invention separates oil from a mixture of oil in water by first passing the mixture upwardly in a column through an upwardly unconfined mass of oleophilic granules having a specific gravity greater than water with a velocity adequate to separate and lift the granules individually so that they are completely free from mutual support in the upwardly rising mixture within the column. The velocity should not be so great that it will prevent the granules from descending against the flow of the mixture. It is also preferable that the granules not strike a steeply inclined screen positioned above the mass of granules. The granules move up and down within the column and collect and coalesce the fine particles of oil within the mixture and release the surplus oil back into the rising mixture column in the form of visible oil droplets. The rising mixture column then transports these large oil droplets upwardly to a steeply inclined screen to force the oil droplets to engage the screen. It is preferred to incline the screen at an angle of at least about 75� to the horizontal which corresponds to a maximum of about 15� to the upward flow of the mixture column. These large oil droplets impinge on the material of the inclined screen and form a film of oil on the material of the said screen which is propelled upwardly by the force of the upward flow of liquid through the inclined screen. This moves the oil to a solid oleophilic path, which is usually the wall of the container, and then upwardly to an oil storage chamber and oil outlet. The water passes upwardly through the inclined screen, and then flows to a water receiving chamber and water outlet.
Screens constructed and arranged to permit the passage of both oil and water in a mixture thereof, in the direction of the main flow, are well known. Screens constructed and arranged to permit the passage of oil and prohibit the passage of water in a mixture thereof, in the direction of the main flow, are also well known. However, the construction and arrangement of a screen with associated apparatus to permit the passage of water and prohibit the passage of oil is believed to be new, and is a feature of this invention.
I have discovered that a screen which is steeply inclined as previously described will remove oil and permit the passage of water under flow velocities varying from approximately 6-90 ft/minute. The flow of the liquid at these velocities causes the oil film to be uniformly distributed on the material of the steeply inclined screen, and the force of the flow of liquid through this steeply inclined screen propels the oil film under laminar flow conditions, along the material of the inclined screen in the general direction of the flow without having the oil film exhibit any tendency to reform into drops which might be released back into the water flowing through the inclined screen. If, due to high oil concentration, the capacity of a single inclined screen is exceeded, two or more inclined screens in series can be used to remove any oil droplets released by the first inclined screen.
In order to remove emulsified oil as well as visible oil droplets from a fast moving oil-in-water mixture, it became necessary to depart from conventional coalescing practices of fixed beds, expanded beds, coalescing cartridges, etc. and seek a method which is devoid of agitation and turbulence at high flow rates to prevent the reemulsification of the oil passing from the coalescing media. Translating this into practice, it became necessary to create an environment in the coalescing zone in which each coalescing granule operated independently, and free from mutual support, to be acted upon solely by the force of gravity with respect to the water-oil mixture column. I have discovered that within the previously noted range of flow velocities, individual granules of a mass of oleophilic granules will rise and fall individually in an upwardly rising non-turbulent mixture column, acted upon by the resistance of the granule to the upward direction of flow of the mixture column and the downward velocity created by gravitational acceleration. This creates a non-turbulent situation within the column which favors coalescing emulsified particles as well as small visible oil droplets, yet is without the subsequent agitation and turbulence necessarily present in exiting from conventional fixed coalescing beds, expanded beds, cartridges, etc., when flow velocities exceed approximately 0.35 ft/minute through the small orifices of these media. With granules having specific gravities varying from approximately 2.0 - 3.5, the flow velocities required to activate the granules individually in the mixture column as described above, are within the noted limiting flow velocities required for the satisfactory operation of the steeply inclined screen.
As each oil coated oleophilic granule rises and falls vertically in the non-turbulent rising mixture column, it cleanses a portion of the mixture column of fine oily particles and coalesces them until an accumulation of surplus oil on the granule is sheared off by the passing mixture column in the form of an oil droplet which is released back into the mixture column and then transported upwardly with the mixture column (now largely free of fine oil particles) to be intercepted and extracted from the mixture column by the steeply inclined screen as previously described.
This invention will be described employing a preferred construction in which the separator has the form of a vertical cylinder, but the invention is not restricted to cylindrical geometry.
There is no restriction as to size and a small separator would be applicable to a small industrial flow exiting into a sewer system. Of greater importance in the light of the high flow rates permitted by this invention, is the fact that separators of reasonable size are applicable to large industrial systems such as an oil refinery, oil field, oil drilling platform, harbor terminals, heavy industrial installations, etc., with effluents exiting into natural waters. It would be highly effective aboard ships for cleaning bilge wastes and also for cleaning ballast water on oil tankers or other ships whose wastes are contaminated with oily substances. It would be particularly applicable to large oil spills at sea where a severe requirement exists to separate oil rapidly from large volumes of sea water, simultaneously recovering the oil and returning clean water to the environment. When the concentration of oil in the water is higher than can be efficiently handled with a single separator, then two separators should be used in series.
The oleophilic granules which are employed may be of diverse character and are heavier than the water which is passed upwardly through the granules. Silica particles of appropriate size can be used, but these are preferably treated to increase their affinity for oil. Aluminum granules are also useful. The preferred density of the oleophilic granules is in the range of 2.0 - 3.5 as noted previously. Particle size is not of prime significance, so long as the particle is able to resist being carried away by the moving liquid.
It is essential that the mass of oleophilic granules be unconfined above the foraminous support which supports the granules when the apparatus is not in use. If the granules are confined, then the granules are packed together by the moving liquid, and this severely restricts flow, and the accumulation of material in the compacted bed further restricts flow. Also, when the granules are packed together, severe reemulsification would result at the high flow rates at which this separator is designed to operate.
It is stressed that the conventional coalescing media, relying on small orifices for coalescence, becomes clogged with foreign particles in use and must be replaced or its materials must be cleaned frequently. In this invention, the granules need not be replaced or cleaned since the surplus oil collected by the granules is continuously removed therefrom. Fine particulate material passes through this separator without clogging.
The invention will be more fully understood from the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a vertical cross-section of an illustrative separator constructed in accordance with this invention, and employing a cylindrical geometry.
FIG. 2 is a simple schematic cross-section illustrating the method.
FIG. 3 shows a modified cylindrical configuration in which the purified water passes straight through the separator with the oil being directed into an annular chamber.
FIG. 4 is another vertical cross-section showing a rectangular configuration and using a steeply inclined screen in a V-shape to direct oil to flow to both sides. This unit is particularly adaptable to modular construction within a common container.
Referring more particularly to FIG. 1, a mixture of oil in water prescreened to eliminate foreign particles larger than the screen size used hereinafter to separate the oil is pumped to a separator assembly identified generally by the numeral 10. The separator 10 has an inlet 11 at its lower end through which the mixture flows into a mixture inlet chamber 12 which is positioned at the bottom of a vertical tube 13. This tube 13 takes the form of a container which is concentrically positioned within the outer walls of casing 16 of the separator 10. This mixture inlet chamber 12 is formed beneath a foraminous support 14 (a screen) which is positioned above the bottom of the tube 13 by means of a supporting structure 15.
Contained in tube 13 and resting on screen 14, are oleophilic granules 17, these granules having a specific gravity greater than water as previously explained.
The inner container 13 is partitioned as shown at 18 so that the screen 14 is divided into a series of side-by-side zones. This is done when the container 13 is large, and it serves to maintain an even distribution of granules across the screen 14. As can be seen, the mixture passes through the inlet 11 into the chamber 12, and passes upwardly as shown by arrows A with sufficient velocity to lift the granules 17 as previously described, and then through the inner container 13 toward an overhead steeply inclined screen which is here constituted by a conical screen 19.
The upper end of the inner container 13 is notched forming teeth 20, and the upper end of the inverted conical screen 19 is secured to the container wall below the lower end of the teeth 20. As a result, water flowing upwardly through the container 13 will pass upwardly through the inclined screen 19, and any drops of oil which have been released by the granules 17 will be intercepted by the inclined screen 19, and form a film on the material of the screen. The upward pressure of the water passing through the screen forces the oil upwardly on the screen until it contacts the wall of container 13, and the oil will continue to move upwardly on teeth 20 at the upper end of container 13. The screen, the wall of container 13, and the teeth 20 provide a solid oleophilic path for the flow of oil to storage.
The steeply inclined screen removes all the visible oil. The angle of inclination which is needed is easily found for any screen by a brief check, or it can be approximated by tilting the screen until the eye can discern no open spaces. An angle of at least about 75� to the horizontal is generally required.
Overlying the upper end of the container 13 is a conical oil collector 21, the teeth 20 contacting the interior of the conical collector 21. As a result, the oil collected by the screen 19 is forced upwardly along the oleophilic path until it reaches the conical collector 21 which leads to an oil storage chamber 22 positioned at the upper end of the oil collector 21. The recommended oil-water interface level in the device is shown by the phantom line X--X. An oil-water interface sensor and flow restrictor float 23 is provided to prevent water from flowing upwardly out of the oil collector 21 via the oil outlet 24. When too little oil remains in collector 21, the interface sensor 23 rises to prevent water from exiting via outlet 24.
At the same time that the oil is exiting from the separator 10 through outlet 24 as described, water which has passed through the screen 19 flows outwardly through the space between teeth 20 which extend above the screen 19 and below the oil collector 21. The water, now free of oil, is then passed through the annular chamber 25 formed between the exterior casing 16 of the separator and the container 13 to the water outlet 26.
The operation of the separator structure shown is extremely simple, it being only necessary to pump the mixture through the separator, clean water exiting at 26, and the collected oil exiting at 24. The overall level of liquid in the separator shown by the phantom line Y--Y provides sufficient pressure head to raise the oil level to the oil outlet 24. A pressure actuated one way valve 27 in the inlet line 11 insures a minimum flow rate and it also prevents back flow from accidental pressure drop or shutdown which might result in oil entering the clean water exit route.
The structure shown enables satisfactory operation even when the separator is tilted as might occur aboard ship. A skirt 28 which depends downwardly from the lower end of the conical oil collector is provided to contain the water-oil interface level within collector 21 during tilts.
The method of this invention is simply shown in the schematic cross section of FIG. 2 which uses the same numbers employed in FIG. 1.
As can be seen, the mixture of oily particles in aqueous liquid enters at 11, and moves past valve 27 to a foraminous support 14. The mass of oleophilic particles rests on screen 14 between levels A--A and B--B when there is no flow. The optimum depth of the mass of granules at rest may vary between about 6 and 18 inches in height, depending on the effectiveness of the particular granules. When the mixture is being pumped through the separator with adequate velocity, the granules are lifted as individual granules free from the support of other granules, into a contact zone which lies generally below the level C--C which is the bottom of the steeply inclined oil interceptor screen 19. The distance between the levels B--B and C--C is normally at least 20 inches, and is more preferably at least 30 inches. The granules 17 rise and fall individually as indicated, effectively scrubbing the oily particles out of the mixture. Ultimately, drops of oil D are released by the granules 17, and these are propelled upwardly by the rising mixture until they strike against the screen 19 merging into the oil film thereon. This film is propelled upwardly to the top of the screen where it engages the side wall of the container 13, the oil moving along a continuous oleophilic path to an oil storage area 22. The level X--X identifies the oil interface, and Y--Y identifies the water level at the water outlet 26. The oil exits via outlet 24.
Turning to FIG. 3, the structure is very similar to that shown in FIG. 1, but the structure for the removal of oil and clarified water is modified to simplify the structure and permit a plurality of separators to be coupled within a common container.
Continuing to use corresponding numerals where appropriate, the rising mixture passes through the contact zone below level C--C until it contacts the conical screen separator 19. However, the top of the container 13 is not notched and, instead, a tube 31 is inserted so that the oil on conical screen 19 is propelled upwardly and outwardly by the rising mixture to force the oil onto the container wall 13 where it moves into an annular oil storage chamber between the container 13 and the tube 31. This oil storage chamber 32 is closed at the top by a circular plate 33 which has an outlet 34 through which oil may exit directly or may lead to an oil storage chamber which may be common to several units. An oil-water interface sensor and valve arrangement not shown may be used to maintain the oil-water interface at the level X--X in the common oil storage, but it is simpler to merely extend the outlet tube above the water level Y--Y, as shown.
The water passing through screen 19 moves straight out through tube 31 to a tank 35. Many separator units would be positioned within tank 35 which would serve as a common receptor for all of the water which is purified. Water exits from tank 35 via ports 36 which maintain the water level at the level Y--Y.
Referring to FIG. 4, the structure here is rectangular, rather than cylindrical, the rectangular form being preferred where a plurality of units are combined into a composite structure served by a common water receptor as in FIG. 3. Only the upper end of the structure in FIG. 4 is shown since this is all that is significant in this aspect of the invention. As will be seen, the conical screen 19 is now transposed into a flat, V-shaped screen 40 so as to direct the oil which is intercepted by the screen to the parallel side walls 41 and 42. The oil moving upwardly along the walls 41 and 42 finds itself trapped within the closed oil storage chambers 43 and 44, respectively, at the upper end of the structure, and the water passing through the screen 40 moves out of the apparatus, passing between the oil storage chambers 43 and 44. Where the unit is to be one of many within a common chamber, the upper end of the unit between the chambers 43 and 44 is left open, and the water simply spills out, thereby discharging into the common container. If the structure is to be used separately, then the upper end of the unit can be closed, and the water can be piped off as desired from between the oil chambers 43 and 44. Oil outlets 45 and 46 are shown for tapping off the oil which is collected in a common oil collector similar to that shown in FIG. 3.
It will also be appreciated that various adjuncts and controls can be added but these are aspects of commercial operation as opposed to the new oil removal structure, and the novel separation and recovery procedure.
The invention is defined in the claims which follow.

My proximity sensor is busted. The screen goes blank during calls and there is no way for me to cut the call without rebooting the phone. This happens on stock as well as non-stock ROMs. I tried hardware disabler, but the app crashes. Is there any other app to disable the proximity sensor?

How can i persist user details in angularjs unless user logs out of the system?
My header is using a variable called user, so when the user logs in successfully, i set the user attributes from REST response.Once , user is set then using ng:show and $scope.watch i change parts of the header and show welcome 'username'. The issue comes when user again refreshes the page, in that case User is reset and user sees the landing page header.How can i correct it?How can i persist the User value unless user logs out of the system?Should i set user in rootScope or is there any other better way to handle this?
