- Intro
Cardiovascular science is one of the seven priority research themes within the Division of Medical Sciences in the University of Oxford.
World class research is conducted across the spectrum of population, clinical and basic science. Particularly notable is the integration of molecular science, epidemiology and physiology, bringing together researchers with interests in the understanding of cardiac and vascular biology at both the molecular level, the level of the whole organism and in populations.
New cross cutting technologies in imaging, computational modeling, statistics, chemistry and engineering will drive future advances.
News and Events

Birds are attacking my Tomato Plants
Haven't gardened since I was a girl, started 3 tomato plants, every time a tomato turns red the birds will sneak in and pick a perfect round hole in them, this is the 4th tomato they've hit, any ideas? Can I wrap them in paperbags to hide the red color? Is the sun needed to actually ripen them? Stupid question I know. Also there's this weird fungus type look to about 1/25 of my leaves, I trimmed them off mostly but feel I might have done more damage to the poor things than anything else, not sure what is safe to even spray on them and you know how hard it is to find some kind of tomato plant expert at lowe's or home depot, they don't exist. Any ideas would help me alot.
I am going to try this on my plants. I read if you attach red tomato-sized christmas ornaments (I bought shiny plastic ones)to your plants before the tomatoes turn red, the birds will peck the ornaments and by the time the real tomatoes ripen, they will have given up messing with them. I have no idea yet if it works, but I'm going to try it in the next few weeks - my plants are still small yet.
Many of us pick them as they begin to "blush" (show color) and let them complete ripening on the kitchen counter just to avoid this problem. ;) Once the ripening process begins on the vine it will finish inside just fine as the plant forms a membrane between the stem and the fruit to seal it off as it has all it needs from the plant.
Only other alternative is bird netting over the plants or a shotgun.
Floridagirl, is shooting birds an option for you as recommended above? Do you have a gun? Any neighbors that may object? Or little children? Laws that make it illegal to shoot off weapons where you live? Do you blast the birds while they are on the tomato plant or wait until they fly away. The birds I have are pretty darn quick and the neighbor's house is nearby. What is your situation?
Here in Fl. I have mockingbirds and small little finch-types eating tomatoes. Lots of them. Wonder how I would go about shooting those little tiny guys? Shotgun, maybe??? That way maybe I will hit something if I just aim at the tomato plant and let 'er go. Wonder how many birdies I can kill before they cart my a-- off to jail?
I had big problems with birds in past years. I tried a red ornament--afraid it didn't work for me. But doesn't hurt to try.
I finally took a small square of newspaper and clothespinned it over the ripening tomato. Worked great. The clothespin was not so tight that it restricted the stem.
I have also left out tomatoes I did not want on a platform placed high atop a cage.
This past season I had NO bird damage whatsoever on a huge crop of tomatoes--so it must depend on the weather. Try putting out of bird bath as well--damage seems worse in a drought.
Bet it's penguins!
Tie a polar bear in the back yard, the others will go elsewhere.
FG, they really are looking for water. Put a pan of water out for them, and go to something like Home Depot and get bird net. I had the same problem you are having a few years back, until a smart person told me what to do.
Now it's our pet yard squirrels. I just plant enough cherry tomatoes that there's plenty to go around. Solved the problem.
I could not find a nice round red ornament at the time so I used a fake pomegranate. :) Thinking the birds wouldn't know the difference--red is red, right?. Of course they communicated to each other that a dumb lady had hung a fake pomegranate--laughing as they eyed the ripening real fruit.
I have some ideas for you. At my garden place they have some thing called Tomato Sentry nets. They are overpriced. I got a bag to see how they work. Round circle net, holes punched around the circle, cord weaved in and out through holes. How easy is that to make! So I went up to hobby store got a bag of round circle nets for wedding favor bags, cording...11 bucks for 80 bags.
Another thing I did also was go to dollar store and buy some packs of organza bags. They work great too! I have to keep birds and leafhoppers off.
So this works, if the tomatoes are too big for bags, I also do what some above said..pull at first color. Windowsill them, but have heard you can put in paper bag to ripen quicker. Yea, I am a big talker....I missed a beautiful, ripe Juanne Flamme...the birds got it...
About them wanting water...not sure about that as I have thousands of gallons of water in my pool and they never get it.
North Florida here.
I have the same problem. I pick as soon as the bottom starts to turn pink. It seems that there is a two hour window between the tomatoes starting to show color and the birds pecking them.
I forgot about the bird bath idea. I had that on my list of things to try this year.
This year it has been the worms doing all the damage. 9 out of every 10 tomatoes that have started to turn red so far have been due to a big worm hole. About two nice tomatoes, 5 or so salvegable, and almost 20 ruined.
Good luck
Have you tried monofilament, (fishing), line? Use the clear variety, threading it above the plant spaced about a foot apart over the plants. The birds cannot see it and their wings hit it. I hear they do not come back. I have not tried this myself, but heard of this approach and some claim it works well.
I'm hoping a fake Owl I have mounted on a pole. It's in a Xmas tree holder so I can move it around.
I got late start this year and have none ripening yet.
I also found these brightly colored twisted plastic pieces about an inch wide and hung them off of some of the cages. The slightest breeze makes em spin and throw light spots all around the plants.
Bird baths help birds stop pecking tomatoes just for water, but even with a water source handy, mocking birds actually eat my tomatoes until sometimes I'm left with just an empty tomato skin hanging on the vine with all the insides eaten out.
Here's my solution for birds pecking tomatoes: I use a homemade rabbit trap to trap the tomato eating birds and release them elsewhere. The trap is better than shooting birds because you only trap the birds that actually peck your tomatoes and don't remove innocent birds.
My trap is a typical homemade, wire cage rabbit trap with a sliding door on one end connected to a trip stick in the center of the trap. When the rabbit enters the trap, he hits the stick and releases the door and traps himself.
To catch birds instead of rabbits, I tie a piece of red tomato to the lower end of the trip stick. When the bird comes in and pulls on the tomato piece to eat it, he trips the stick and you have a trapped bird which you can release elsewhere.
Trapping birds works best early in the growing season when your very first tomatoes begin turning red. Basically, if the only red tomato in your garden is the one inside the trap, then the birds will greedily go for it.
I immediately caught four mockingbirds the first time I used my rabbit trap technique and released them several miles away. After that, I only had maybe three or four tomatoes pecked the entire summer (verses about a three ruined tomatoes per day the year before).
The trap also works for rabbits. A half ear of corn is good bait, but don't lay the bait on the floor of the trap or you'll catch lots of ants. Hang (suspend) the bait from the roof of the trap to keep ants off it. You might even discover that neighborhood cats love corn also.
Thanks all, CharlieCom
New at tomato planting, have planted three tomato plants in containters in my patio. have great fruit. but now some of the tomatoes have small round holes, don't know if they are birds eating them. or some other pests. The leaves are healthy, no spots or anything on them. Please advise as to how would I know that it is.
After birds started eating my beautiful tomatoes, I constructed a frame with home depot bird netting stapled to it. That stopped the birds, but lizards got trapped/died. That is teriible, cutting rotting lizards from the net. I won't do that again!!!

History dictates that Obama will declare "executive privilege" or some other nonsense. He has already done this for himself and his AG; the latter currently in contempt of an ineffective Congress which is unlikely to do anything about it. With a Democratic Senate, there will be no impeachment.
These are the facts, and I commend all of you who could read them before down-moderation.
So let me get this straight, it's perfectly OK to kill people with drones as long as they're not American citizens?

Product description
When hefty Zimbabwean chicken farmer Eddo Brandes kept on playing and missing to an increasingly frustrated Glenn McGrath, the Australian had had enough and decided a bit of verbals were called for: 'Oi, Brandes, why the hell are you so fat?' Quick as a flash, the answer came back: 'Because every time I shag your missus, she gives me a biscuit.' Few games have such a rich history of sledging as cricket, with the Australians famed masters of the art. This collection, featuring contributions from talkSPORT's own Darren Gough and Ronnie Irani as well as many other cricket stars, brings together the best examples from around the world. To be effective, sometimes the sledge can be funny, as when Andrew Flintoff urged Tino Best, who was struggling to lay a bat on the ball, to 'mind the windows' at Lord's. Best immediately charged down the pitch to attack Ashley Giles' next ball and was stumped. But sometimes an element of real menace can do the trick, as when Malcolm Marshall commented to a struggling David Boon: 'Now are you going to get out or am I going to have to bowl round the wicket and kill you?'

Babs711 and Graceshan
Beautiful homes! I am delighted when you post pictures of your progress (kidlets included!). I noticed both of you have marble or a marble like flooring in the bathroom. Did you struggle trying to find a countertop material?
We selected a porcelain marble like floor that I must admit was not my first choice. I felt as though I settled because of budget - until today. It is gorgeous! However, I am now concerned about the marble for the tub deck and counters. The plan is to visit the stone yard with the tile.
Any advice you can share is greatly appreciated.
Hi! Thank you so much!
I wanted a counter with a white background and without a lot of speckles or movement. I know in my case I ended up with marble on the counter after swearing I'd never do it. The price was great and it was beautiful. I sealed it well. It will etch I'm sure. But I talked to enough people with it that were fine with it, that I was OK. Really, the only other option for me was quartz and it was way too pricey after what I'd spend on our island stone. Carrara isn't as pricey as people think it is.
Kirkhall - The tile is American Olean Catarina Coliseum White (18x18). The tile is white with shades of gray (photo has a pink cast on my monitor). This morning the tilesetter and I will decide on the pattern. I am leaning toward placing the tile on the diagonal in a brick pattern.
I bought the same Coliseum White 18x18 for the bathrooms on the 2nd floor. Well, 18x18 for the floor then used the 10x13 in the tub/shower. I love this tile. At $2.38/sf, it's definitely a great deal.
I was originally considering marble for the vanity countertops. But it was too match-matchy for me. I like Cambria, but didn't really want to spend that much since these are not the main bathrooms (kiss's bathrooms).
I agree with babs711. Marble is one of the cheapest out of the countertops we looked at. The carrara was cheaper than quartz and granite. After seeing the carrara, I didn't love it. I like the statuary marble better.
Since we didn't really want it to be match-matchy, we chose granite. I can't remember the granites we chose. I believe it's delicatus white and alaskan white. We both love them. It was an easy decision as we walked through the available granites. :)
tncraft, I didn't like many of the Carrara slabs I saw. The backgrounds were too gray. They found a slab that was very very white for us since they knew that's the look I was going for even if I had to go to another stone yard to get it. :)
That's the same tile we used in our daughter's bath (honed). It's really nice. Ours were larger, rectangular, and polished and have less of a gray background. I never found out the brand.

I agree, please review this soon it sounds like a keeper
Posted by Charles Starrett on May 16, 2007 at 2:03 PM (CDT)
Wow…I'm totally underwhelmed. This much excitement (excrement?) over yet another aftermarket iPod dock added into the mix.
Indeed…what IS the world coming to?
Posted by Charles Starrett on May 17, 2007 at 7:05 PM (CDT)
flatline, I don't get where you're coming from…This new dock looks great, and considering its 50 bucks cheaper than the next best similar one out there, it is exciting. It all depends on what you'd use it for, and this fits a small but useful niche quite nicely.
Count me in on one of those waiting for a review—although I'm tempted to go ahead and buy it, given its relatively reasonable price.
Posted by Charles Starrett on May 18, 2007 at 12:12 PM (CDT)
Hopefully, DLO will do a better job with the quality of the audio output of the dock which has been criticized in the past.
Posted by Charles Starrett on May 18, 2007 at 1:38 PM (CDT)
Saw one at Best Buy and got it—it works as advertised. I hooked it into our home stereo system (our house has in wal/ceiling speakers throughout), and the remote works anywhere in the house. I wish this would have come out earlier—I could have saved myself a few thousand dollars and gone with a less sophisticated sound system for the house.
Posted by Charles Starrett on May 21, 2007 at 9:53 AM (CDT)
I for one am glad that DLO is changing the game. A cool new product announced last week, and I'm able to purchase it this weekend! I bought one at Best Buy yesterday, and I couldn't be happier. Finally a remote with display that's not bigger than my iPod…this one is a bit smaller than my nano. The display IS colorful as stated in the first look, it's also bright and easy to read. I haven't played with it long enough to see how long the rechargeble battery will last, once I find out, i'll post again.

CASERTA, Italy (Catholic Online) - Pope Francis took a trip to Caserta, Italy on Monday, June 28, 2014. He visited with a friend named Giovanni Traettino who pastors an evangelical, charismatic/Pentecostal protestant Church.
This friend of Francis oversees the growing evangelical Church of the Reconciliation. The brotherly warmth between these two Christian men was evident in their embrace and shared in their message of reconciliation and brotherhood in Jesus Christ.
The protestant Pastor referred to the Catholic Pope as "my beloved brother." They met in the 1990's when Francis, then Cardinal Bergoglio, was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires.They have worked to bring Christians together for common prayer and concerted action.
The theme of the visit was pardon and reconciliation. That was evident in the humility of Pope Francis when he apologized for the complicity of some Catholics in the persecution of protestant Pentecostals during the fascist regime in Italy. He told the pastor and the two hundred people in attendance:
"Among those who persecuted and denounced the Pentecostals, almost as if they were crazies who would ruin the race, there were some Catholics. As the pastor of the Catholics, I ask forgiveness for those Catholic brothers and sisters who did not understand and were tempted by the devil."
His friend, a protestant pentecostal pastor, demonstrated the same Christian virtue of humility when he thanked the Pope for this visit which was "unthinkable until recently." He assured Francis that "even among evangelicals there is great affection for you. Many of us pray for you, every day. Many of us, in fact, believe your election as bishop of Rome was the work of the Holy Spirit."
In his remarks, Pope Francis stressed that we are all sinners and that God's love has gathered us all together in and through His Son and our Savior Jesus Christ. He quoted from St Paul's letter to the Corinthians. He spoke of a unity in diversity and the role of the Holy Spirit in healing our divisions and bringing us together.
Pope Francis said that "the Holy Spirit is the source of diversity in the church. This diversity is very rich and beautiful. But then the same Holy Spirit creates unity. And in this way the church is one in diversity. To use a beautiful Gospel phrase that I love very much, reconciled diversity."
Pope Francis is working to heal divisions in the broken Body of Christ. He is encouraging courageous efforts at common Christian prayer and cooperation, what is called spiritual ecumenism.
He has raised the water level in this priority for the whole Catholic Church, by bringing his lived experience in Argentina, along with his unique palate of gifts, to the office of Successor of Peter at a prophetic moment in history.
In a teaching on the Church as the Body of Christ, given during his Wednesday audience of June 19, 2013, Francis made an extemporaneous comment which revealed what his life work has revealed. Jorge Mario Bergoglio has always heard the passionate Prayer of Jesus Christ and made it his own:
"I pray not only for them, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21so that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me." (John 17:21)
Here are a few heartfelt words from his March message:
"Divisions among us, but also divisions among the communities: evangelical Christians, orthodox Christians, Catholic Christians, but why divided? We must try to bring about unity. Let me tell you something, today, before leaving home, I spent 40 minutes more or less, half an hour, with an evangelical pastor. And we prayed together, seeking unity."
"But we Catholics must pray with each other and other Christians. Pray that the Lord gift us unity! Unity among ourselves! How will we ever have unity among Christians if we are not capable of having it among us Catholics, in the family, how many families fight and split up? Seek unity, unity builds the Church and comes from Jesus Christ. He sends us the Holy Spirit to build unity!"
With this clear and courageous commitment to unity, Francis has stepped into the trajectory of his two predecessors, Saint John Paul II and His Holiness Benedict XVI. One of his evangelical friends from Argentina, protestant evangelist Luis Palau, was straightforward and enthusiastic about his friendship and prayer with Francis.
His interview with Christianity Today, given the day after the Pope was selected, is well worth the read for anyone wondering where the Pope is headed as he steps into this trajectory of his predecessors and responds to the imperative of healing the divisions among Christians.
A scholar and leader among evangelical Protestants in the United States, Timothy George, the Dean of Beeson Divinity School, wrote a piece for the same publication which is also a must read. It is entitled, Our Francis, Too: Why we can enthusiastically join arms with the Catholic leader. George wrote:
"Francis succeeds two men of genius in his papal role. John Paul II was the liberator who stared down communism by the force of his courage and prayers. Benedict XVI was the eminent teacher of the Catholic Church in recent history. Francis appears now as the pastor, a shepherd who knows and loves his sheep and wants to lead them in love and humility. The new Franciscan moment is the season of the shepherd. Catholics and evangelicals are the two largest faith communities in the body of Christ. Without forgetting the deep differences that divide us, now as never before we are called to stand and work together for the cause of Christ in a broken world."
Catholic teaching on the nature of the Church is rooted in an ecclesiology of communion. Ecclesiology is the theology of the church. All who are validly Baptized already have a form of communion, albeit incomplete.
We are invited to make the prayer of Jesus for full communion and visible unity our own - in the way that we relate to other Christians, pray with them, walk with them and work with them. We should use the language of communion which the Catholic Church encourages. St . John Paul II wrote in an encyclical letter on unity:
"It happens for example that, in the spirit of the Sermon on the Mount, Christians of one confession no longer consider other Christians as enemies or strangers but see them as brothers and sisters."
"Again, the very expression "separated brethren" tends to be replaced today by expressions which more readily evoke the deep communion linked to the baptismal character which the Spirit fosters in spite of historical and canonical divisions."
"Today we speak of "other Christians", "others who have received Baptism", and "Christians of other Communities".
"The Directory for the Application of Principles and Norms on Ecumenism refers to the Communities to which these Christians belong as "Churches and Ecclesial Communities that are not in full communion with the Catholic Church. The broadening of vocabulary is indicative of a significant change in attitudes" There is an increased awareness that we all belong to Christ."
John Paul also wrote concerning the urgency of building good relationships with other Christians:
"Relations between Christians are not aimed merely at mutual knowledge, common prayer and dialog. They presuppose and from now on call for every possible form of practical cooperation at all levels: pastoral, cultural and social, as well as that of witnessing to the Gospel message. Cooperation among all Christians vividly expresses that bond which already unites them, and it sets in clearer relief the features of Christ the Servant".
"This cooperation based on our common faith is not only filled with fraternal communion, but is a manifestation of Christ himself. Moreover, ecumenical cooperation is a true school of ecumenism, a dynamic road to unity. Unity of action leads to the full unity of faith: "Through such cooperation, all believers in Christ are able to learn easily how they can understand each other better and esteem each other more, and how the road to the unity of Christians may be made smooth. In the eyes of the world, cooperation among Christians becomes a form of common Christian witness and a means of evangelization which benefits all involved."
There is an adage in the Gospels which has application in this arena, "To those to whom much is given, much more will be required" (Luke 12:48). Yet, one of the most difficult obstacles in making progress toward the visible unity of the Church is the reticence of some Catholics to accept the leadership of the Magisterium, the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the teaching of the Catholic Church on its priority.
Pope Francis, in a bold, deliberate, prophetic and loving manner, is now showing us the way to walk the talk. Let us take our lead from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. These paragraphs are found in the section entitled "Wounds to Unity". I share them because I do not believe that many Catholics even know they are in the Catechism:
"817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable. But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion with the Catholic Church - for which, often enough, men of both sides were to blame." The ruptures that wound the unity of Christ's Body - here we must distinguish heresy, apostasy, and schism - do not occur without human sin: Where there are sins, there are also divisions, schisms, heresies, and disputes. Where there is virtue, however, there also are harmony and unity, from which arise the one heart and one soul of all believers.
818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers . . . . All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."
819 "Furthermore, many elements of sanctification and of truth" are found outside the visible confines of the Catholic Church: "the written Word of God; the life of grace; faith, hope, and charity, with the other interior gifts of the Holy Spirit, as well as visible elements." Christ's Spirit uses these Churches and ecclesial communities as means of salvation, whose power derives from the fullness of grace and truth that Christ has entrusted to the Catholic Church. All these blessings come from Christ and lead to him, and are in themselves calls to "Catholic unity."
820 "Christ bestowed unity on his Church from the beginning. This unity, we believe, subsists in the Catholic Church as something she can never lose, and we hope that it will continue to increase until the end of time." Christ always gives his Church the gift of unity, but the Church must always pray and work to maintain, reinforce, and perfect the unity that Christ wills for her. This is why Jesus himself prayed at the hour of his Passion, and does not cease praying to his Father, for the unity of his disciples: "That they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one in us, so that the world may know that you have sent me." The desire to recover the unity of all Christians is a gift of Christ and a call of the Holy Spirit."
The papal trip to Caserta was consistent with the mission of spiritual ecumenism in which Pope Francis is enthusiastically engaged. It challenges us to live our lives differently. The trip certainly had its detractors, both Protestant and Catholic. However, now that it has happened, the emphasis should be on the work which is to be done. This good Christian, Pope Francis, went to pray with another good Christian, Pastor Giovanni Traettino.
It is really not all that complicated.
This kind of brotherly affection in the Lord, and shared prayer between Christians, is what the Catechism refers to as spiritual ecumenism. In addressing the topic the Catechism commends "prayer in common, because "change of heart and holiness of life, along with public and private prayer for the unity of Christians, should be regarded as the soul of the whole ecumenical movement, and merits the name 'spiritual ecumenism (#861)
Some Catholic journalists, including John Allen, have speculated that with the untimely death of Bishop Tony Palmer, some of the momentum in this mission of spiritual ecumenism may slow down. I disagree. This work of the Holy Spirit is only in the early stages of an historic movement which is about to change history.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein said slit is defined by adjacent parallel surfaces.
10. The method of claim 9 and welding said centralizer along said slit at said adjacent surfaces.
This invention relates to rod guide assemblies, to centralizers of the assemblies and to a method for installing the rod guide assemblies on the shanks of the sucker rods of a rotatable sucker rod string used to operate a well pump.
Sub-surface well pumps of the progressive cavity type are operated to pump well fluids to the surface through a production tubing by a sucker rod string which is rotated at the well head by a suitable drive means. Ths sucker rod string, whose bottom end is connected to the rotor of the pump, comprises a plurality of serially connected sucker rods of relatively great lengths, twenty-five to thirty feet long. Since the well bore and the tubing to whose bottom end the stator of the pump is connected, are not perfectly perpendicular, it is necessary to mount rod guides or centralizers on the shanks of some, if not all, of the rods of the string to prevent or minimize damage or wear to the rods and to the tubing at locations where the rods would otherwise engage and rub against the tubing.
To minimize wear and damage to such rod guides or centralizers and to the tubing, it is desirable that the sucker rods on which the centralizers are mounted be relatively free to rotate relative to the centralizers if and when the centralizers are forced into engagement with the internal surfaces of the tubing so that the centralizers not rotate relative to the tubing and rub there against.
It is also desirable that the centralizers not rub against the metal of the sucker rods themselves since such contact would remove the corrosion preventing or inhibiting coating with which the rods are protected from the corroding effects of the well fluids being pumped and thus expose the bare metal of the rods to the well fluids.
The need for such rod guides or centralizers is well known and various devices, as disclosed in the U.S. Pat. Nos. 31,016 to Clarence Oster and 1,605,316 to R. A. Wilson, have been designed but such prior art devices are not mountable at one or more selected locations on the shank of a sucker rod and moreover expose metal surfaces of the string to the well fluids.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a new and improved rod guide assembly which is installable on the shank of a sucker rod.
It is another object to provide a rod guide assembly, of the type described, having a tubular mount rigidly secured to and on the shank of a sucker rod and a centralizer rotatably positioned on the mount and held against longitudinal displacement therefrom.
It is another object to provide a rod guide assembly, of the type described, wherein the mount and the centralizer are of non-metallic substances and are substantially impervious to chemical corrosive action of the well fluids to which they may be exposed when in use.
It is an important object of this invention to provide a new and improved centralizer which is positionable on the mount of a rod guide assembly moulded on a rod shank.
It is another object to provide a centralizer, of the type described, having a split tubular body which can be resiliently flexed to pass over the mount and move resiliently about the mount.
It is another important object of the invention to provide a new and improved method of installing a sucker rod guide assembly on the shank of a sucker rod.
It is another object to provide a method, of the type described, wherein the method includes rigidly securing a mount on the rod and then rotatably mounting a centralizer on the mount.
A rotary guide assembly for a sucker rod having a tubular mount rigid with and on the shank of the rod providing a cylindrical bushing portion and spaced stop means at opposite ends of the bushing portion, and a centralizer rotatably positioned about the bushing portion and between the spaced stop means.
A method for installing a rod guide means on the shank of a sucker rod by moulding a mount on the shank and then positioning a centralizer on the mount for rotation thereon.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent from the reading of the following descriptions of rotary guide assemblies constructed in accordance with and employing the method of the invention and reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic, partly sectional view of a well having a rotatable sucker rod string whose rods are provided with the rod guide assemblies of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal view of the rod guide assembly mounted on the shank of a sucker rod;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 4--4 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of another form of the centralizer of the rotary guide assembly embodying the invention; and,
FIG. 6 is a cross sectional view of a sucker rod shank on whose mount the centralizer of FIG. 5 is mounted.
Referring now particularly to the FIGS. 1 through 4 of the drawings, the rod guide assemblies 20 embodying the invention are shown mounted on the sucker rods 21a-21n of a sucker rod string S which extends through the well production tubing T to rotate the rotor 22 of a progressive cavity pump 23 whose stator 24 is connected to the bottom end of the production tubing T by a coupling 25. The bottom end of the lowermost sucker rod 21n is connected to the rotor by a coupling 26. Adjacent enlarged connector end portions of adjacent sucker rods are connected by couplings 27.
The top end of the tubing is connected to the usual well head WH, and the well fluids pumped from the well by the pump 23 flow to a reservoir tank or pipeline through the outlet pipe 28 of the well head.
The uppermost sucker rod is connected by a suitable coupling 29 to a polished rod which extends through a stuffing box 31 which seals between the well head and the polished rod. A suitable drive means 33 rotates the polished rod and therefore the sucker rod string. The well also has a casing 35 which extends from the well head through the well bore and whose lower end or lower end portion is in fluid flow communication with well fluid producing earth formations.
The well head, sucker rods, drive means and pump being of conventional well known types, will not be described in greater detail.
Since the production tubing and the sucker rod string are not perfectly concentric and perfectly perpendicular throughout their lengths due to deviations of the well bore, bending of the tubing or the sucker rod string, and the like, the sucker-rod string at some locations in the production tubing would frictionally engage the internal surfaces of the production tubing with consequent damage to both the tubing and the sucker rod string, if the sucker rods were not provided with the rod guide assemblies 20.
Each of the rod guide assemblies has a tubular guide mount 36 which is moulded on the rod and is rigid therewith. The mount may be of any suitable hard, durable plastic such as is available commercially under the trademark "RYTON". The amount is of relatively long length to provide a large area of contact with and adherence to the rod and therefore a great resistance to any forces tending to displace or move the mount relative to and on the rod.
The mount 36 is provided at its opposite ends with upper and lower end portions 38 and 39 which extend upwardly and downwardly divergently to the rod from the facing longitudinally spaced annular stop shoulders or surfaces 41 and 42, respectively. The longitudinal central bushing portion 44 of the mount between the stop shoulders is concentric with the rod and provides a smooth longitudinal circular or cylindrical slide surface for the rotatable guide or centralizer 45 disposed about the bushing portion between the stop shoulders 41 and 42 and is of slightly shorter length than the distance between the stop shoulders 41 and 42.
The centralizer 45 has a central tubular body 47 whose surface 48 has an internal diameter slightly greater than the external diameter of the mount central brushing portions 44 and is of shorter length than the distance between the facing stop surfaces 41 and 42 of the mount 36.
The centralizer may rotate freely on the mount but is held against longitudinal displacement from the mount by the engagement of its opposite end surfaces 49 and 50 with the mount stop shoulders 41 and 42, respectively.
The centralizer is provided with three or more circumferentially spaced, radially outwardly extending longitudinal ribs 51 whose outer longitudinal surfaces 52 lie in a cylindrical plane of slightly smaller diameter than the interval diameter of the production tubing T, FIG. 3. The ribs have beveled outwardly convergent top and bottom surfaces 54 and 55, respectively, to facilitate movement of the guide assembly past upwardly and downwardly facing obstructions of the tubing, as at the couplings 57 connecting adjacent ends of adjacent sections of the tubing, and also to minimize turbulence in the well fluids as they flow upwardly in the tubing during the operation of the pump. The outer surfaces of the end portions are also beveled (converge outwardly toward each other from the rod) for the same reasons.
The rotary guide or centralizer 45 is formed of any suitable tough, durable, abrasion resistant, somewhat resilient substance, such as the plastic commercially available under the trademark "NYLON" and its body 47 is provided (FIG. 4) throughout its length with longitudinal, T-shaped in cross-section, grooves 61 and 62 which provide longitudinal flex sections 63 and 64, the grooves inner ends opening to the internal surfaces 48 of the mount body, which being of decreased thickness may yield or flex resiliently to permit portions of the body on opposite sides of the longitudinal slit 66, which is positioned substantially diametrically opposite the slots, to be moved outwardly in opposite directions as the centralizer is positioned on the bushing portion 44 of the mount. These centralizer body portions then move resiliently inwardly to the positions on the mount illustrated in the drawings.
The slit is enlarged at its inner end portion, as at the sides 68 and 69, to provide a longitudinal recess 70 for receiving any inflow of the substance of which the centralizer is formed, and prevent its reaching the internal surfaces if the sides 68 and 69 of the mount body at the slit are welded together, as by application of heat thereto if the substance is thermoplastic or of a chemical which temporarily melts the centralizer substance the abutting surfaces defining the slit. In the event bonding or adhesive agent is used to secure the abutting surfaces to one another, such recess may receive any excess of such agent to prevent it from reaching the internal surface 48.
It will be apparent that if it is desired to weld the abutting surfaces of the centralizer to one another after the centralizer is positioned on the mount, the slit is preferably in a downwardly opening position during the welding operation so any molten or liquid material will not flow upwardly to the internal surface 48 of the centralizer.
The terms "weld" or "welding" as used herein are meant to define any connection or operation by which the abutting surfaces defining the slit 66 are connected or joined so that the tubular body 47, when it is in place on the amount, becomes a solid tubular body with no slit.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that once the rods on which the rotary guide assemblies are in the production tubing, the tubing itself will tend to prevent any lateral displacement of the centralizer from the mount. The welding of the abutting adjacent surfaces define the slit so that the mount becomes a solid body with no slit is desirable mainly to prevent dislodgment of the centralizer mounts due to forces applied thereto by negligence or accident during the transport, storage and installation in or removal from the production tubing of the sucker rods after the rod guide assemblies have been mounted thereon.
The centralizer may also be moulded and its internal surface 48 may be, if necessary, smoothed or polished so that the centralizer may freely slidably rotate with minimal friction on the mount bushing portion 44.
A preferred method for installing each rod guide assembly includes stripping and cleaning the portion of the shank of the sucker rod of any dirt or coating, such as a coating of a corrosion resisting or inhibiting substance with which the sucker rod is ordinarily coated, the particular coating substance varying with the nature of the fluids of the well in which the sucker rod is to be used; rigidly securing, as by moulding, the mount 36 on such cleaned section of the rod shank; smoothing or polishing, if necessary, the intenval surface 48 of the centralizer and the bushing portion 44 and stop surfaces 41 and 42 of the mount; and positioning the centralizer about the mount on the bushing portion and between the stop surfaces by resiliently flexing outwardly opposed portions of the centralizer at opposite sides of its slit 66, preferably at narrowed flex portions 63 and 64 thereof at locations opposed and spaced from the slit 66, to form a longitudinal passage for passing over the bushing portion 44 as the centralizer is moved onto the bushing portion of the mount 36 between the stop shoulders 41 and 42 of the mount.
The installation method may also include welding, as defined herein above, adjacent longitudinal surfaces of the centralizer defining the slit 66 after the centralizer is positioned on the mount whereby the centralizer constitutes a solid tubular body rotatable on the bushing portion of the mount.
It will now be apparent that the sucker rods of a sucker rod string at required locations along the string, may be provided with one or more of the rod guide assemblies embodying the invention and installed thereon by the method of the invention, and that these assemblies permit easy rotation of the rod shanks on which they are mounted relative to the centralizers which are slidably rotatable on the mounts of the assemblies which are rigid with the rod shanks, to minimize the force required to rotate the sucker rod string even though the ribs of the centralizers may engage the internal surfaces of the tubing and hold the centralizer against rotation in the tubing.
It will further be seen that the mounts being relatively free to rotate relative to the centralizers, the ribs of the centralizers will not be rubbed or dragged along the internal surfaces of the production tubing during the rotation of the sucker rod string, since any engagement of the centralizer ribs with this tubing will stop rotation of the centralizers thus minimizing wear or damage to not only the centralizers, but also the tubing because the friction between the bushing portion of the mount and the centralizer will exert a much smaller surface tending to resist rotation of the mount relative to the centralizer than the force tending to resist rotation of the centralizer relative to the tubing when one or more centralizer ribs engage the internal surfaces of the tubing not only because the frictional resistance between the mount and the centralizer is relatively low, but also because during the rotating of the sucker rod string the moment arm of the force exerted on the centralizer by the bushing portion at the area of frictional engagement therebetween is much shorter than the moment arm of the force exerted on the centralizer at the area of the frictional engagement of one or more of its ribs with the internal surfaces of the tubing.
It will be apparent that while a preferred form of the centralizers for use with the mounts has been illustrated, centralizers of different structures may be rotatably installed on the mounts without departing from the invention.
For example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, centralizers 70 having substantially the structure of the "snap on" guide shown in the U.S. Letters Patent to Donald E. Sable, U.S. Pat. No. 4,575,163, issued Mar. 11, 1986, may be used with the mount. Such centralizers have a tubular body 71 provided with diametrically opposed longitudinal slots 72 and 73 connected at their inner ends by a transverse slot 74. The lontitudinal central bore 75 would of course be of a diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the bushing portion 44 of the mount. Such "snap on" centralizer is installed on the bushing portion 44 of the mount as described in the above mentioned patent by moving the body 71 on the bushing portion by means of the transverse slot 74 and then rotating the centralizer about an axis perpendicular to the axis of the longitudinal bore of the centralizer, clockwise as seen in FIG. 5, the bushing portion 44 being received and passed through the longitudinal slots 72 and 73 of the body 70 as the portions of the body flex resiliently to permit such movement.
The body 70 could be provided with external longitudinal grooves 76, FIG. 6, so that it would provide a greater effective flow passage between the tubing and itself. The "snap on" centralizer would be held on the mount not only by its own resilient force which would resist rotation of the centralizer about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of its bore 75 once it has been installed on the mount, but also by the tubing itself which would prevent its rotation on the bushing portion 44 about such axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bushing portion.
It will be seen that both the centralizer 45 and the centralizer 70 have longitudinally split tubular bodies, the body 47 being split by the slit 66 and the body 71 being split by the slots 72, 73 and 74, so that they may be mounted on the bushing portion 44 of the mount.
The foregoing description of the invention is explanatory only and changes in the construction and method described and illustrated may be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.

PRLog - Feb. 2, 2011 - Responding to scheduling managers' growing demands for a scheduling software that can align with employee retention strategies, ensure reduced labor costs with zero over-time and address unique shift scheduling needs, Kappix has released a new version of DRoster Employee Scheduling Software.
Employee Scheduling Software DRoster by Kappix
Among its many useful features, DRoster - http://www.kappix.com - now includes the only scheduling rules validation system that guarantees complete shift coverage without overloading employees. Using the validation tool, scheduling managers can build rules that all schedules must conform to certain time and assignment constraints. DRoster alerts managers of any shift that does not comply with a rule-set.
For instance, a manager can decide that to make sure that no employee works more than a maximum number of hours for a defined period thus preventing worker overload and costly over-time pay. A supervisor can also ensure that an employee has enough time off between assignments and use the validation system to validate all schedules against that rule. These are just a few of the constraints available to scheduling managers.
Besides its ease of use, DRoster's new validation system benefits both employees and the companies they work for. Employers can easily take into account their employees' needs for more rest time, time off, break times, and overall workload without compromising a smoothly run 24/7 schedule. As a result, employee grievances about their work schedules literally vanish and they feel happier in their work environment.
The benefit to companies is marked with higher employee retention thus lowering the direct and indirect costs incurred with employee turnover. Proper management of over-time with DRoster's new validation tool also reduces labor costs significantly.
With close to a third of all U.S. full-time wage and salary workers working outside of the traditional 9-to-5 work schedule and a renewed interest in employee retention, DRoster Employee Scheduling Software offers businesses and organizations a complete set of solutions designed to make their scheduling tasks easier, effective and compliant with their company's and industry's best practices.
Kappix offers a free fully functional download of DRoster Premium Edition, a 45 uses no risk trial, and the DRoster Free Edition on its website http://www.kappix.com/
# # #
Kappix develops software for people that need to create shifts and employee work schedules. DRoster Employee Scheduling Software easily handles complex scheduling needs with flexibility for businesses of all size and industry. Free download www.kappix.com

True Love
It is true love because
I put on eyeliner and a concerto and make pungent observations about the great issues of the day
Even when there's no one here but him,
And because
I do not resent watching the Green Bay Packer
Even though I am philosophically opposed to football,
And because
When he is late for dinner and I know he must be either having an affair or lying dead in the middle of the street,
I always hope he's dead.
It's true love because
If he said quit drinking martinis but I kept drinking them and the next morning I couldn't get out of bed,
He wouldn't tell me he told me,
And because
He is willing to wear unironed undershorts
Out of respect for the fact that I am philosophically opposed to ironing,
And because
If his mother was drowning and I was drowning and he had to choose one of us to save,
He says he'd save me.
It's true love because
When he went to San Francisco on business while I had to stay home with the painters and the exterminator and the baby who was getting the chicken pox,
He understood why I hated him,
And because
When I said that playing the stock market was juvenile and irresponsible and then the stock I wouldn't let him buy went up twenty-six points,
I understood why he hated me,
And because
Despite cigarette cough, tooth decay, acid indigestion, dandruff, and other features of married life that tend to dampen the fires of passion,
We still feel something
We can call
True love.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
"Terebella ehlersi Gravier.
Gravier (1906), p. 47, pl. V, figs. 45, 46. Gravier (1911), p. 130.
Ehlers (1913), p. 556.
In the previous expeditions only one or two individuals of this Antarctic species seem to have been obtained, but during the visit of the "Aurora" to Commonwealth Bay, as many as fifty specimens were procured. It is then evidently fairly abundant in that area, though not nearly so common as some other species of Terebellids. In some instances the label includes a note as to colour, which is "bright red." The worm lives in depths of from 2-6 fathoms, though it seems to be commoner at about 25 fathoms, and less common at greater depths.
There is a slight discrepancy in the account given by the two authors as to the nature of the tube. I find that the membranous basis is covered with material which varies with the nature of the bottom ; in some it consists of rather fine sand grains, interspersed with fragments of brown algae, as described by Gravier. Other tubes consist of extremely fine grains of grey sand, looking like mud grains. Such tubes have thicker walls than those with coarser grains ; and it is such a tube that Ehlers describes. In both kinds I find echinid spines, and sponge spicules so embedded as to produce a smooth external surface.
One such tube measures 90 mm. long, with a diameter of 15 mm. at its upper end, and its wall is 3 mm. in thickness.
Most of the worms measure from 50-70 mm., with an anterior width of 7 mm.; some are larger than this, and one is 90 mm. long. Gravier, however, gives 100 mm. as the length of a specimen with 86 segments.
The number of notopodial bundles varies from 40, 43, 45 and 49 in those examined. Gravier gives 54 and Ehlers 48.
The number of ventral gland shields is 14, 15 and 16, in my specimens. Gravier found 14.
There is no need to add anything to Gravier's account.
Boat Harbour, —Among rhizoids of floating brown Alga (Dr. McLean). Boat Harbour, 2-4 fathoms. Station B, 25 fathoms.
Commonwealth Bay—
Station C, 15-20 fathoms.
Station D, 45-50 fathoms. Station E, 55-60 fathoms.
Distribution .—South American Antarctic (Gravier), Kaiser Wilhelm II Land (Ehlers)."
(Benham, 1921)

City Administration
The Administration Department of Logan City consists of the Economic Development division, the City Recorder, the Mayor, and the Justice Courts.
This department is the core of Logan City, so if you have any issue at all, then contact Teresa Harris, the City Recorder, (435) 716-9002, and she will be able to help you resolve it, or she'll be able to point you in the right direction.
How To Donate For A New Cemetery Entrance
In addition, the City is cooperating with USU to improve 1200 East which borders the cemetery. Starting in April, the University will fund and install new street lighting, new fencing, and a 10 foot bike/ pedestrian path that will replace the existing sidewalk on the east edge of the cemetery. These changes provide a unique opportunity to make another significant improvement. The Northeast entrance to the cemetery has always been the main entrance and is used for funeral processions. At present, it consists of two small pillars that are deteriorating. The Logan City Cemetery deserves better.
A new Northeast entrance has been designed and will, hopefully, be constructed this summer in conjunction with the USU project. It will involve six new, larger, rock-faced pillars, attractive landscaping, and a wrought-iron LOGAN CEMETERY gateway arch spanning the entrance road to the cemetery. Sketches of the design appear below.
The new entrance will cost about $20,000. The goal is that it be funded by private donations rather than tax dollars. The Logan City Cemetery is such a special place for those who have ancestors buried there that I hope citizens will contribute generously to this project. I will make the first donation. In a few days the City will provide specific information about how others can participate, but the opportunity is available now if you would like to donate. Contact Mayor Petersen at 435-716-9004.
Full announcement with diagrams
Recipients of this notice are invited to submit to the Agency written comments concerning the subject matter of the hearing before the date of the hearing. Any person objecting to the draft project area plan or contesting the regularity of any of the proceedings to adopt it may appear before the agency board at the hearing to show cause why he draft project area plan should not be adopted. The proposed project area plan is available for inspection at the Logan City offices located at 290 North 100 West in Logan Utah.
