Polymer clay mushrooms
Has anyone used polymer clay to make small mushrooms for fairy gardens? I would like to make my own and can't think of anything else to use. Other ideas would be more than welcome! I was thinking about giving them several coats of polyurethane after I have baked them. Thoughts?
My husband made a few from polymer clay and we left them out in the fairy garden all winter to test them out. They were fine - no cracks or even fading. We didn't coat them with anything. He's also made birdbaths for me with polymer clay. Anxious to hear other replies. Because of the time issue and the fact that I need MANY mushrooms, I did find a local ceramic artist who makes them for me to use in my pan gardens.
You could go to the dollar store,buy some bowls with a shape you like,paint them on the inside ,and glue something on them for a stem.You wouldn't have to worry about the paint as it's on the inside.
I do this to make spinners from plastic 2 and 3 ltr bottles.First with the bottles I cut pictures from fabric,or magazines,decoupage it to the inside of the bottle that I've cut the bottom off of.When that's dry,i take those foam brushes and paint over the picture on the inside as well.I'll try to find a picture to show you after I have my dinner.

111 page report now available form Frost and Sullivan on the Australian Water Industry.
Report summary follows:
Pricing is a powerful tool for shaping behavior, including water use. Recognizing the power of pricing, more water utilities are adopting water rates designed to encourage customers to conserve. These so-called "conservation rates" vary in form, but generally they increase the price per gallon of water the more water a customer uses.
When the going got tough due one of with worst droughts in a century, the parched Texas city of Wichita Falls got going with its program to recycle sewage water for drinking.
The city this month opened the spigots on a $13 million system that mixes 5 million gallons a day of treated waste water with area lake water to keep drinking water flowing for its 105,000 residents.
Convincing them to drink it is another matter.
Aqua America, Inc. is a U.S.-based publicly-traded water and wastewater utility, serving approximately 3 million people in Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Illinois, Texas, New Jersey, Indiana, Florida and Virginia. Aqua America is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol WTR. Its aggressive growth-through-acquisition strategy has resulted in nearly 200 acquisitions and growth ventures in the last ten years.
The long-term sustainability of many urban water supply systems in the United States is under assault from a confluence of forces.
American States Water Company (AWR) has grown significantly since 1929 when the original water systems were acquired. Yesterday's visions have developed into today's reality — a viable service provider focused on the needs of over one million people throughout California and portions of Arizona with affordable rates.
In areas with an abundance of water, leak detection isn't always made a priority. But every utility should be working to reduce non-revenue water, says Marc Bracken, vice president and general manager of Echologics.
Much of the buzz in the utility world in the past week was around the proposed EPA rules to limit carbon emissions from existing power plants. Some utilities are lining up for a fight, while others already have enough trouble on their hands competing in a world where outdated regulation is leaving them behind.
Registration & hotel reservations will open in late August 2014!
Over the past 27 years, members of AWWA and WEF have established The Utility Management Conference as one of the leading, most informative, and most prestigious management conferences available. Come prepared to share your experiences and learn from others in similar situations as we respond to the most pressing management issues of the day.
<br ...
We are experts at delivering high-quality water and wastewater service to our customers. And we are more. We are scientists, environmentalists, innovators, and protectors.
The Black & Veatch Strategic Directions: U.S. Water Industry report identifies key issues facing water utilities. These include: ongoing concerns with utility financial conditions; growing water scarcity and water supply challenges; and the need for greater customer education regarding the value of water and cost of providing safe and reliable water services.
Infosys has reduced its per capita electricity and fresh water consumption by about 44 per cent and 35 per cent, respectively, as of fiscal year 2013-14, since the first reporting year 2008.
Infosys, India's second largest software services exporter, was amongst the first Indian companies to publish a sustainability report based on Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines in 2008, the company said in a statement in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Tucson Water has completed a master plan for the development of recycled water as a future drinking water resource. Additional planning and study will begin soon, including discussions with Tucson Water customers.
"We've been studying this for some time," said Tucson Water Director Alan Forrest. "The ongoing drought and dropping water levels in Lake Mead, and planning for the impacts of climate change are making it a higher priority than originally planned."
United Nations - Clean and safe water for drinking, cooking and washing is beyond the reach of hundreds of millions and about a third of the world's population don't have access to good sanitation. The sheer scale of the problem doesn't stop one woman who's on a mission to see that everyone has access to this most basic human right.
Wessex Water is considering introducing wastewater metering to encourage customers to reduce the amount they put down sewers. The company is currently trialing a scheme.
Speaking at the British Water and Wessex Water Innovation Exchange yesterday, David Elliott, director of environment and assets at the utility, said a wastewater meter might be "a real opportunity" to offer customers price incentives for reducing the volume they put down the sewer.
The verdict is in: don't spend another penny on bottled water in Boston. That city, derided in the 1960s song "Dirty Water," came out on top of the 2014 "Best of the Best" Tap Water Taste Test.
The honor was particularly fitting since 11,000 water professionals had descended on Boston for the 133rd annual conference of the American Water Works Association. In a taste test judged by a panel of experts at the conference, Boston took first prize.
The future of desalination in the South Bay lies in the back of Redondo Beach's SEA Lab science center, where a few rooms filled with a network of thick copper-alloy pipes filter a half-million gallons of sea water daily.
By the end of this year, the facility will be closed as efforts move forward to build a permanent $300 million desalination facility at the NRG power plant in El Segundo.
Here in the United States, we take running water for granted. It's always, or almost always, there when you need it. But much of the rest of the world can't count on that. Even in cities where the water runs, it only runs at certain hours and on certain days. To wash and cook, you have to store spare gallons for a later time.

Ceramic tile above fiberglass shower
I have received several different opinions on what wall prep needs to be done above a shower stall. What I want to do is put ceramic tile from the top edge of the shower stall to the ceiling. What is there now is wallpaper over sheetrock. Not sure if it is greenboard, but knowing the builder, probably just regular sheetrock. I know I need to remove the wallpaper, but after that I have been told 1) I have to put cementboard, 2) replace the sheetrock with greenboard, and 3) put the ceramic tile on the sheetrock.!! The top edge of the shower stall is at least 78 inches high so the tile would start there and is not likely to get soaked. It would be 3 to 4 courses from top of stall to ceiling. Advice would be appreciated.
I'm considering doing the same, i.e. installing ceramic tile above the fiberglass surround. See pic below.
Has anyone done or seen this? Any advice?
I've been looking for pics w/o success. Thanks.

Student Driver Crashes Big Rig, Temporarily Closes I-45
DALLAS, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) A student driver got a lesson he won't soon forget after the 18-wheeler he was driving crashed and burned, shutting down Interstate 45 and causing a massive traffic delay.
According to police, the student driver was traveling on the northbound service road of I-45 in the Wilmer-Hutchins area when he lost control of the vehicle and somehow crossed the median into the regular lanes.
Reports say the vehicle went across all three lanes of the highway and crashed into the center median.
The semi burst into flames, but Wilmer Chief Victor Kemp says everyone got out.
The trouble on the southbound side happened when a couple of accidents occurred in the traffic backup.

We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting our daughter and her family, who live in Old Town. The room was small but modern and clean. The refrigerator did not work, but we left a message with housekeeping, and it was fixed by the time we returned. There was a balcony, but the view was of the asphalt rooftop as the room was only on the second floor. There was some noise, because the room (214) was across from the ice machine and next to the elevators, but this did not disturb our sleep. The bathroom was a nice size, with plenty of counter space, but only one sink. The bed was comfortable and we loved the small-size soft pillows. The staff was courteous, but not overly helpful. No breakfast was included. The location was close to Old Town, but the driving directions were confusing.

The rise of 4G services is dictating a new radio network architecture for mobile operators. Rather than relying on macro cell sites operators deploy small cells that bring capacity closer to the end customer. One way to bring capacity closer to the end user is to deploy a network of distributed radios, essentially small base stations that are placed on utility poles or buildings.

Carriers: Get Serious About Providing a Fair ValueApril 13, 2012 5:47 am | by Ted Middleton, VP Product Management at EdgeCast Networks | Comments
AT&T recently jolted its customer base by announcing price hikes on their smartphone and tablet data plans. The good news – customers under contract can keep their current pricing packages. The bad news – new customers will pay 33 percent more. AT&T's tiered pricing model has spurred similar offerings from other carriers and it's only a matter of time before other carriers raise their prices to offset data carrying costs and accommodate a growing smartphone customer base.

Once again, we have Attorney General Eric Holder in the middle of a mess. This time, he's promising a nationwide examination of voting laws enacted by states - with special concern about laws that require voters to show identification in order to participate in an election.
Now, the Attorney General, in a high profile speech, says "all citizens should be automatically registered to vote" and is critical of voter ID laws passed in Texas and other states.
What's wrong with requiring voters to present a valid ID?
In a debate on this issue today on FOX News with Megyn Kelly, I argued that there's nothing wrong with confirming a voter's identity in order to cast a ballot. Such a request is reasonable, constitutional, and important in preventing voter fraud. You can watch the interview here.
It seems we have an Attorney General with misplaced priorities.
He won't take responsibility for Operation Fast & Furious, a gun-running program that put U.S. weapons into the hands of Mexican criminals - an ill-conceived program that claimed the life of a U.S. border agent one year ago today.
He won't permit Arizona to protect its borders and citizens with a state illegal immigration law that was challenged by the Justice Department - a case to be heard this spring by the Supreme Court. Now, a new poll suggests most Americans favor a law like Arizona's. And nearly 15,000 Americans already have signed on to our Committee to join our amicus brief to be filed with the high court backing the Arizona law.
Keeping weapons out of the hands of criminals - and defending our border - that should be the priority of Attorney General Holder and the Justice Department. Sadly, it appears that is not the case.
We've seen this movie before. With the Obama administration, a familiar pattern is emerging.

Like so many others , I find it impossible to believe Brian Williams simply "made a mistake."

When it comes to nation branding, America's brand needs a hero. Captain America the movie won't be released until July. But will that be soon enough for us to spot the superhero on the horizon? America needs rescuing right now.
At least that's what a Carteresque essayist in TIME magazine is saying this week. Fareed Zakaria asks, "Are America's Best Days Behind Us?" His answer seems to be "yes." His thesis also will be the subject of a special airing Sunday on CNN, Restoring the American Dream: Getting Back to No. 1.
What is Zakaria all depressed about?
Basically, he bemoans America's lack of government-directed investments for the future in the "right" science and technology, the low test scores of American schoolkids relative to their rivals around the world, partisan gridlock in Washington, and other worries many Americans have for the future.
He makes several good points about our crumbling infrastructure and our clear lead in obesity, and so on. He also says we should be more like the Scandinavians.Continue reading...

Florida House panel approves higher speed limit
A bill that could result in speed limits reaching 75 mph on some Florida roads was steered around opposition from the auto-club AAA on Tuesday as the measure made its first House appearance.
The House Transportation & Highway Safety Subcommittee voted 13-1 to support the measure (HB 761), which would direct the state Department of Transportation to determine the safe minimum and maximum speed limits on all divided highways that have least four lanes.
Senate Transportation Chairman Jeff Brandes, R-St. Petersburg, who along with Sen. Jeff Clemens, D-Lake Worth, is sponsoring the Senate companion (SB 392), told the panel that the bill doesn't raise the posted limits but gives engineers from the state agency more leeway in setting speeds.
"In certain areas of the state it will better reflect how drivers are actually using the roads, and therefore make it safer because you won't have the variability between minimum speeds and maximum speeds," Brandes said.
However, Lee Moffitt lobbying on behalf of AAA Auto Club South, said the proposal will result in more accidents if Florida joins Maine to become the only state east of the Mississippi River with speed limits higher than 70 mph.
"We urge you to consider the safety of Florida's citizens and the millions of tourists that plow in to our state every year," Moffitt said.
Moffitt pointed to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study that found nearly a third of all motor vehicle fatalities in 2012 were speed-related, and states with higher speed limits exceeded the national average.
"With our current speed limits, Florida's roadways are safer than those states that have increased their speed limits," Moffitt said. "You know congestion is a huge problem on Florida's highways and many drivers in this congestion are driving too closely. If you drive faster it increases the time you need to stop and makes the conditions for an accident even greater."
Rep. Irv Slosberg, a Boca Raton Democrat who cast the lone vote against the bill, said with the limit posted at 75 mph, motorists will push speeds to 80 mph and higher.
"Is this bill going to make our roads safer? I don't think so," Slosberg said.
But Rep. Keith Perry, R-Gainesville, said vehicles are designed safer now than when the speed limit was increased to 70 mph.
"I'm trusting DOT would be an entity we can all hopefully have faith in to objectively make a good decision," Perry said.
Florida's highways have had a 70 mph maximum since 1996, the last time the speed limit was reviewed
The House bill has only one more scheduled stop — the Economic Affairs Committee — before reaching the House floor.
The Senate version, which has already been approved by Brandes' committee, is scheduled to appear Wednesday at the Senate Community Affairs Committee.

Ontario wants recycling fee built into product price, not added at cash register
TORONTO - There's no need for manufacturers and distributors to add recycling charges to their products as an extra eco fee at the cash register, Environment Minister Jim Bradley said Friday as he promised new legislation to protect consumers.
Companies don't add rent increases or the cost of new equipment as extra charges for their products, and they don't need to add eco fees as separate line items either, said Bradley.
"It seems they take pleasure, some of them, in showing what the requirement to recycle or reuse is going to cost them and therefore the consumer," he said.
"If they'd just put it right in their price, all the costs of doing business in one price, then they can't say the reason you're paying so much is because of the recycling fee. If you build it into your costs, you can't use that excuse."
The Progressive Conservatives called eco fees a tax grab, and said they would wipe out the recycling charges, shut down the "bloated bureaucracies" of the industry-led stewardship agencies and have government set targets for companies to meet.
The opposition accused Bradley of speaking out of both sides of his mouth.
"He personally signed off on massive fee hikes for electronics and tires," said PC environment critic Michael Harris.
"It's the Liberals who allow retailers to pass these costs onto consumers at the cash register in the form of an eco-tax."
The New Democrats said Ontario's recycling program is broken and needs better provincial oversight and firm targets to help eliminate as much as waste as possible in the manufacturing process.
"There is a consensus that we need extended producer responsibility, where producers pay the full cost of recycling," said NDP environment critic Jonah Schein.
"They should have an incentive to make less toxic products, because they're not doing that under this system."
The Liberal government came under fire earlier this week when it was learned eco fees for large screen televisions would jump to almost $40 May 1 as the charges are adjusted to reflect the actual cost of recycling each product.
At the same time, Premier Kathleen Wynne admitted the government would also have to lower recently increased recycling fees for tires used on agricultural equipment.
There is a need for clarification on the recycling charges in new legislation, Wynne said during a visit to Kitchener Friday.
"As we come up with new technologies for doing that there are different costs associated with those technologies, and so we need to make sure that the producers and the consumers understand what those costs are," she said.
Even though he hates the eco fees, there's no guarantee the charges will disappear at cash registers after the new legislation is passed, admitted Bradley.
"We'll explore ways to protect the consumer, but I can't specifically say that yet because we have to go through with our ministry lawyers to determine just what can be done," he said.
"It'd be great if there was a buy in by the industry, but you always have to look at the legal implications before you head out on a limb and say we're going to do this."
Bradley said he wants the stewardship agencies to hire consumer experts so they don't keep adjusting their recycling charges without first telling the public.

It is a wonderful thing that is happening but there is a general lack of awareness about the art festival. The people in the mainland, Ernakulam, are not aware about the happenings. There should be more events this side of town. All activities are concentrated in one area so I wonder if it is only a tourism event or for the public at large.

The room appeared clean, but the front desk service was awful and the entire first floor smelled so strongly of weed that it made me sick. They insisted on having a copy of my credit card, even though I had already paid through a third party site. The front desk clerk also spoke pretty much no English and couldn't answer any of my questions. Absolutely not worth staying at.

This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/942,724, which was filed Sep. 16, 2004 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,272,948.
This application relates to heat pump refrigerant systems that can be operated in either a cooling or heating mode, and wherein a reheat coil, and an economizer circuit are both incorporated into the system schematic and in combination provide augmented performance and enhanced control.
Refrigerant systems are utilized to control the temperature and humidity of air in various indoor environments to be conditioned. In a typical refrigerant system operating in a cooling mode, a refrigerant is compressed in a compressor and delivered to a condenser (or outdoor heat exchanger in this case). In the condenser, heat is exchanged between outside ambient air and the refrigerant. From the condenser, the refrigerant passes to an expansion device, at which the refrigerant is expanded to a lower pressure and temperature, and then to an evaporator (or indoor heat exchanger). In the evaporator, heat is exchanged between the refrigerant and the indoor air, to condition the indoor air. When the refrigerant system is operating, the evaporator cools the air that is being supplied to the indoor environment. In addition, as the temperature of the indoor air is lowered, moisture usually is also taken out of the air. In this manner, the humidity level of the indoor air can also be controlled.
The above description is of a refrigerant system being utilized in a cooling mode of operation. In the heating mode, the refrigerant flow through the system is essentially reversed. The indoor heat exchanger becomes the condenser and releases heat into the environment to be conditioned (heated in this case) and the outdoor heat exchanger serves the purpose of the evaporator and exchanges heat with a relatively cold outdoor air. Heat pumps are known as the systems that can reverse the refrigerant flow through the refrigerant cycle in order to operate in both heating and cooling modes. This is usually achieved by incorporating a four-way valve or an equivalent device into the system schematic downstream of the compressor discharge port. The four-way valve selectively directs the refrigerant flow through the indoor or outdoor heat exchanger when the system is in the heating or cooling mode of operation respectively. Furthermore, if the expansion device cannot handle the reversed flow, then a pair of unidirectional expansion devices, each along with the corresponding check valve, is to be employed instead.
In some cases, while the system is operating in the cooling mode, the temperature level, to which the air is brought to provide a comfort environment in a conditioned space, may need to be higher than the temperature that would provide the ideal humidity level. This has presented design challenges to refrigerant cycle designers. One way to address such challenges is to utilize various schematics incorporating reheat coils. In many cases, the reheat coils, placed on the way of indoor air stream behind the evaporator, are employed for the purpose of reheating the air supplied to the conditioned space, after it has been cooled in the evaporator, and where the moisture has been removed.
One of the options available to a refrigerant system designer to increase efficiency is a so-called economizer cycle. In the economizer cycle, a portion of the refrigerant flowing from the condenser is tapped and passed through an economizer expansion device and then to an economizer heat exchanger. This tapped refrigerant subcools a main refrigerant flow that also passes through the economizer heat exchanger. The tapped refrigerant leaves the economizer heat exchanger, usually in a vapor state, and is injected back into the compressor at an intermediate compression point (or in between the compressor stages, in case multi-stage compression is utilized). The main refrigerant is additionally subcooled after passing through the economizer heat exchanger. The main refrigerant then passes through a main expansion device and an evaporator. This main flow will have a higher capacity due to additional subcooling obtained in the economizer heat exchanger. The economizer cycle thus provides enhanced system performance. In an alternate arrangement, a portion of the refrigerant is tapped and passed through the economizer expansion device after being passed through the economizer heat exchanger (along with the main flow). In all other aspects this arrangement is identical to the configuration described above.
If a reheat function is implemented, as known, at least a portion of the refrigerant upstream of the expansion device is passed through a reheat heat exchanger and then is returned back to the main circuit. At least a portion of a conditioned air, having passed over the evaporator for the moisture removal and humidity control, is then passed over this reheat heat exchanger to be reheated to a desired temperature.
Recently, the assignee of this application has developed a system that combines the reheat coil and economizer cycle. However, variations of this basic concept have yet to be fully developed. In particular, the combination and selective operation of the reheat coil and economizer cycle has not been incorporated in heat pump system designs and their applications.
A heat pump system is operable in either a heating or cooling mode. A flow control device such as a four-way valve routes the refrigerant through the system in the proper direction depending on whether the heat pump is in a cooling or heating mode of operation. A reheat coil selectively receives refrigerant when its functioning is desired, while the system is operating as an air conditioner (or in one of its cooling modes). The reheat coil is operable to heat at least a portion of air, supplied into an environment to be conditioned, to a higher temperature than the temperature obtained in an indoor heat exchanger, where the desired amount of moisture has been removed from the air. Thus, the temperature and humidity of the supplied air closely approximate a desired comfort level for an occupant of the environment.
In addition, the reheat coil can be operable in combination with an economizer circuit. The economizer circuit augments the performance of the heat pump system in a heating mode and in a variety of cooling modes of operation. The combination of an economizer cycle and a reheat coil provides better system control and broader application coverage in terms of temperature and humidity spectra and offers a higher degree of comfort to the occupant of the environment to be conditioned.
In additional embodiments, the heat pump is provided with the ability to bypass a portion or an entire refrigerant flow around the outdoor heat exchanger. By controlling the amount of refrigerant bypassing the outdoor heat exchanger, the sensible heat ratio can be managed and adjusted to a desired value.
In some embodiments, a flash tank is utilized as the economizer heat exchanger in the economizer cycle. Also, it is well understood that a single economized compressor can be replaced by a so-called compressor bank, if it is desired to obtain more unloading steps or a compressor of a required size is not available. Some compressors in the bank may be economized compressors and some conventional compressors. Furthermore, multi-stage or compound cooling (where some cylinders are used as a first stage of compression and the remaining cylinders are utilized as subsequent one or more stages of compression) compression technology can be employed as a direct replacement of a single economized compressor, if preferred.
These and other features of the present invention can be best understood from the following specification and drawings, the following of which is a brief description.
In the heat pump schematic shown in
When it is desired to have an economized operation in a cooling mode, then the economizer expansion device 36A is open while the economizer expansion device 36B is closed. Refrigerant will now flow through the tapped portion of the economizer heat exchanger 38A and through the main line 39. The flow in the main line 39 will be subcooled prior to reaching the main expansion device 38. While passing through the economizer heat exchanger 38B, the refrigerant will not change temperature, as there will be no refrigerant flow in the tapped portion through the line 34B.
When operating in the heating mode, the economizer expansion device 36B is open while the economizer expansion device 36A is closed. Now, the refrigerant in the main line 39 will be subcooled in the heat exchanger 38B.
In addition, a three-way valve 40 selectively taps the refrigerant to a reheat coil 32. From reheat coil 42, the refrigerant passes through a check valve 44 and returns to the main cycle loop at a point 46. As shown, an air moving device 47 passes air over the indoor heat exchanger 30, and at least a portion of this air over the reheat coil 42 on its way to an environment to be conditioned. The use of the reheat coil 42 allows the air reach a higher temperature than would be achieved in the indoor heat exchanger 30. The indoor heat exchanger 30 can thus cool the refrigerant to a temperature below that in the environment. This allows a significant amount of moisture to be removed from the air. Downstream of the indoor heat exchanger 30, at least a portion of this air passes over the reheat coil 42 where it is re-heated to a desired temperature. In this manner, the reheat coil allows the designer of the refrigerant cycle 10 to have enhanced control over temperature and humidity of the air to be conditioned and delivered to the environment. The reheat coil is particularly useful when utilized in combination with the economizer function. The economizer function not only provides enhanced system performance but allows for better dehumidification to be achieved.
A system control thus operates the economizer expansion devices 36A and 36B, and the three-way valve 40, along with the four-way valve 24 as desired to achieve the varying demands on the heat pump 10 for temperature and humidity levels to satisfy external sensible and latent heat loads. It is to be noted that the reheat coil 42 and the economizer heat exchangers 38A and 38B are in a sequential arrangement with the reheat coil being positioned upstream of them and utilizes hot gas for the reheat function.
The three-way valve 64 is shown at an intermediate location between the four-way reverse valve 52 and the tap line 56. The refrigerant in the operational reheat circuit passes from the three-way valve 64, through a reheat coil 66, through a check valve 68, and is returned to the main refrigerant circuit at a point 70, intermediate to the economizer heat exchanger 60 and the main expansion device 28. Thus, in this case, the reheat coil 66 employs liquid refrigerant for the reheat function. Additionally, the economizer heat exchanger 60 and the reheat coil 66 are arranged in a parallel configuration. It becomes obvious to a person ordinarily skilled in the art that other locations and arrangements for the reheat coil are also feasible.
Another control feature provided in this schematic is the ability to bypass the outdoor heat exchanger 26. This ability is valuable when dehumidification is desired with little or no cooling. Thus, the amount of refrigerant flowing through a bypass line 112 is controlled by a flow control devices 114 and 116. For instance, the entire refrigerant flow can be bypassed around the outdoor heat exchanger 26 by shutting the flow control device 116 and opening the flow control device 114. In case, the flow control device 116 is open and the flow control device 114 is closed, the entire refrigerant flow passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 26. In a typical case, some (but not all) of the refrigerant flow will bypass the outdoor heat exchanger 26 and controlling the bypass flow amount allows achieving variable sensible heat ratio and truly independent management of temperature and humidity by providing a required thermodynamic state to the reheat coil 42. It is to be noted that the reheat coil 42 and the flash tank 104 are in a sequential arrangement, with the reheat coil located upstream of the flash tank and is able to utilize hot gas, liquid or two-phase mixture for the reheat function. All the benefits suggested by the teachings of the embodiments shown in
In this embodiment, a three-way valve 122 serving the reheat loop is positioned intermediate to the four-way valve 24 and the outdoor heat exchanger 26. The return point 124 from the reheat circuit is positioned intermediate to the three-way valve 122 and the outdoor heat exchanger 26. Again, a check valve 126 is incorporated in the reheat circuit. Hot refrigerant vapor is utilized for the reheat function and the reheat coil 42. This embodiment enjoys similar benefits to the schematics described above.
The system schematic in this embodiment operates to provide both the reheat and economizer functions, as described above. However, there are additionally several more levels of control in that each compressor can be operated and controlled independently, and the economized compressors each can be operated with or without the economizer function.
The reheat coil 42 has its three-way valve 234 positioned to tap refrigerant to the reheat coil 42, and the refrigerant returns to the main cycle through the check valve 246 to a point 248. Again, the reheat and economizer functions can be provided as described above. As shown, the reheat scheme in this embodiment utilizes the hot refrigerant vapor. Furthermore, the reheat coil 42 and the economizer heat exchanger are arranged in a sequential manner while the reheat coil 42 and the outdoor heat exchanger 20 are configured in parallel.
With all the embodiments, a worker of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that an appropriate control should be included to control the various valves and components. A worker would know how to provide such a control given the stated goals and objectives of this application.
While several schematics that benefit from the teachings of the invention are shown, it should be understood to a person ordinarily skilled in the art that other schematics and variations in design with respect to locations for the flow control devices (such as four-way reversing valves, three-way valves, solenoid valves, expansion devices, etc.); relative economizer heat exchanger, outdoor heat exchanger and reheat coil configurations; and reheat scheme concepts (hot gas, liquid refrigerant, two-phase mixture) are within the scope of this invention. Consequently, similar benefits regarding independent temperature and humidity control enhancement, performance augmentation and reliability improvement in both cooling and heating modes of operation for the heat pump applications are obtained regardless of the abovementioned design parameters and configurations. The main thrust of this invention is the inclusion and selective operation of a reheat coil in a combination with an economizer function in a heat pump system that is operable in both heating and cooling modes. It should be added that a three-way valve described in the text above can be replaced by a pair of standard ON/OFF valves.
Although a preferred embodiment of this invention has been disclosed, a worker of ordinary skill in this art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of this invention. For that reason, the following claims should be studied to determine the true scope and content of this invention.

Darlington's Reputation: Fear the Lady In Black
Darlington Raceway has been the scene for some of the worst wrecks in NASCAR history, proving even the best drivers must respect the "Lady In Black."
Darlington's nickname and her reputation for danger began to spread after a series of fatalities in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but NASCAR quickly pushed to distance the track from any negative connotations.
The birth of "Too Tough To Tame" came in the late 1960s, and lives on to this day.

Angelina Jolie Speaks Out Against Nigeria's Islamic Kidnappers
LONDON – Angelina Jolie made headlines in the British capital after calling for the people who kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria to be severely punished.
Jolie, in London with Brad Pitt for the red carpet premiere of the Disney-backed reimagining of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale Maleficent, made headlines with her call from the event at Kensington Palace in London on Thursday.
STORY: Angelina Jolie: 'I Never Thought I'd Have Children or Be in Love'
The 38-year-old actress, who serves as a United Nations special envoy for refugees, described reporters' questions and people's concern for the abducted girls at a movie event as "heartwarming."
"The important thing, though, is to understand that this happens because these men think they can get away with it and they can do this," Jolie told reporters.
"We have to start arresting people for this, we have to start bringing them to justice and we have to start making it an absolute crime that puts fear in these men so that they think twice about this kind of action."
VIDEO: Angelina Jolie: Maleficent Is a Character to Commit To
The comments were picked up by Reuters, The Daily Telegraph and The Independent, among others.
She said hard-line punishment should be enforced to stop "men thinking that they can get away with it."
More than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls have been kidnapped by Islamist rebel group Boko Haram.

The Buenos Aires Quintet (Pepe Carvalho Series)
Posted December 9, 2008
a reviewer
His uncle hires Catalan private investigator Pepe Carvalho to go to Buenos Aires to learn what happened to Raul Touron. Beyond Diego Maradona, Pepe knows nothing about the country except that his cousin worked there before the military coup of ¿76 as a research behavioral scientist who discovered a link between rat behavior and the quality of their food. The military sold Raul¿s concept and put it to use to destroy the opposition subversives Peronists. Raul joined the rebels, but a year later his wife and baby were abducted though he spent time in prison too.--------------- Pepe knows that a Spaniard cannot work as a private sleuth in Argentina so he hires elderly Don Vito Altofini as a front. They establish an office and Pepe begins the investigation with University Professor Alma, Raul¿s sister in-law. She provides little help only more questions especially why he would come home from exile except perhaps to find his daughter. Others seek the missing man too and they do not welcome the Spaniard sleuth as they have plans once they catch up to Raul that Pepe is not a part of.----------------- THE BUENOS AIRES QUINTET is a fabulous private investigate tale that brings out the impact over two decades after its fall of the vicious military rule (1976-1983) in Argentina. The fast-paced story line never takes a break with Pepe on the case while others are willing to harm, maim or kill the foreigner as he gets in the way. Readers will enjoy his ¿illegal¿ misadventures with only his laid back partner seemingly on his side.--------------- Harriet KlausnerWas this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

For $15, and a commitment to purchase 2 drinks (includes nonalcoholic) we got into the show that included 16 professional, known, comedians (several from comedy central). The show was from 9 pm til 2am!!! Some of the comedians were better than others, but what a value! We even had 1 comedy central comedian testing out jokes for the Justin Bieber...
Looking for a great night of comedy... this is your place. Some of the best comedians can be seen here any night of the week.. Its a must see place on the strip..
We decided to visit on our last night in Los angeles with friends. I wasn't sure what to expect however it was not a 'cheap' night out. Entry was $15 each with a 2 drink minimum and the food was expensive for what you got.
The lineup was mixed and while some were really funny, others were not. There was...
It's been here forever. Several small rooms...Sorta dirty and grungy.
Hard not to find a reasonable amount of laughter in the rooms & comedians.
Not headliners but way fun.
Relatively inexpensive covers and drinks.
Drink servers are kinda pushy and not too happy.
Food was available. I'd eat elsewhere!
How can you forget the times you laughed so much you started crying. I believed the jokes were a bit crude at times, but then again, what happens in Hollywood should stay in Hollywood. Some of the shorter attendees in the audience knew what to expect as for the humor ( guess they were here before ), so they were...
The comedians were great.... my fave of the night was Chris D'elia. Also got to see Chris Rock's brother, Tony Rock, perform. This venue was right across the street from Crossroads House of Blues and 375 ft from the hotel, Grafton on Sunset Strip.
We went to the Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip for the Martin Harris Comedy Night, which consisted of a succession of 10-13 stand-up comics doing about 7 minutes each. Most were funny, and some were VERY funny.
However, the evening didn't start out very well, as parking in the area is either impossible to find or ridiculously expensive. Then,...
If you're looking for a great night out in West Hollywood, go to The Comedy Store! My friend and I got on a guestlist via the venue's Twitter account which allowed us free entry.

The comedy Store is the original comedy club in LA. It is where so many legendary names got their start. The club is nice, the service is good, and the talent is always good. You may spot some faces you recognize when you visit. Thumbs up!
We didn't have plans to go, more of a spur of the moment thing - its a huge part of comedy history so we felt like we had to go! We had a great night, and gave just a good as we got when the comedians turned on the crowd.
If you get the chance to see Samantha Hale totally...
