The remediation treatment creates environmentally neutral species from hydrocarbon contaminants. For soils having a low porosity, fissures are created in the site by, for example, fluid, i.e., hydraulic or pneumatic, fracturing. A catalyst is injected into the site and is permitted to diffuse through the site. An oxidizing agent is then introduced into the site to release a free radical in a Fenton-type reaction. The compounds react to release a free radical, which acts upon the contaminants to form environmentally neutral species. Diffusion of both compounds is aided by turbulence induced in the groundwater. A pH-adjusting compound is added to optimize reaction conditions. Reaction vapors are collected above ground, filtered, and vented to the atmosphere, reducing the chance for gas pressure buildup and possibly dangerous, potentially explosive conditions.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to methods and systems for remediating contaminated water and soil, and, more particularly, to such methods and systems for decontaminating sites from organics and heavy metals.
2. Description of Related Art
Following a long period of environmental neglect, the United States and other countries have placed a high priority on remediating contaminated sites. It is estimated that between 300,000 and 400,000 contaminated sites are scheduled for cleanup in the United States in the coming decades, at an estimated cost as high as $500 billion to $1 trillion (National Research Council, "Alternatives for Ground Water Cleanup, Washington, D.C.: National Academy Press, 1994; M. Russell et al., Hazardous Waste Remediation: The Task Ahead, Knoxville: University of Tennessee, 1991). U.S. spending on waste site remediation totaled approximately $9 billion in 1996 alone.
Despite this considerable investment, conventional technologies for remediating contaminated sites, especially those with contaminated ground water, are inadequate. For example, the National Research Council has conducted a study of conventional ground water cleanup systems at 77 contaminated sites and determined that ground water cleanup goals had been achieved at only 8 of the sites and that full achievement was highly unlikely with the in-place technologies at 34 of the 77 sites (NRC, ibid., 1994; MacDonald and Kavanaugh, Envir. Sci. Tech. 28(8), 362A-68A, 1994). Based on these findings, it is believed that improved technologies are needed to restore contaminated sites.
The most common types of contaminants found at waste sites include chlorinated solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, and metals (NRC, 1994). Chlorinated solvents, such as trichloroethane (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE), are used for such purposes as dry cleaning and degreasing industrial manufacturing equipment and cleaning military aircraft. Petroleum hydrocarbons commonly found in ground water include the components of gasoline, such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene. Other common contaminants of ground water include naphthalene and chlorinated solvents. Because of the widespread use of both chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons, contaminated ground water has been found in many sites around the world. Additional ground-water and soil contaminants comprise polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), created from combustion, coal coking, and process, petroleum refining, and wood-treating operations; and polycholorinated biphenyls (PCBs), once widely used in electrical transformers and capacitors and for a variety of other industrial purposes.
Some conventional technologies for cleaning contaminated ground water are based on the principle that if enough water is pumped from the site, the contaminants will eventually be flushed out. In such "pump and treat" systems, the pumped-out water is treated ex situ to remove contamination, which has limited effectiveness, especially for cleaning up undissolved sources of contamination beneath the water table. Key contaminant and subsurface properties that interfere with flushing include: solubility of contaminants into water; diffusion of contaminant into micropores and zones with limited water mobility; absorption of contaminants to subsurface materials; and heterogeneity of the subsurface. Because of the difficulty of flushing contaminants from the subsurface, the NRC concluded in its 1994 study that pump and treat systems would likely be unable to restore fully many types of contaminated sites.
During the 1990s, as the limitations of conventional subsurface remedial technologies have become increasingly clear, new technologies have emerged to clean up contaminated soil and leaking underground storage tanks containing petroleum products. Some of these newer technologies used on contaminated ground water at U.S. Superfund sites include air sparging, bioremediation, passive treatment wall, dual-phase extraction, in situ well aeration, in situ oxidation, and pump and treat. Those used to clean up contaminated ground water at underground storage tanks include biosparging, dual-phase extraction, air sparging, in situ bioremediation, pump and treat, and intrinsic remediation. Air sparging, dual-phase extraction, pump and treat, passive treatment wall, and in situ well aeration technologies include high equipment and labor costs with mechanical treatment of ground water. Bio- and intrinsic remediation have exhibited a long-term approach but are largely unproven, primarily owing to problems associated with providing an environment optimal for multiplication of the microbes while consuming the contaminant(s).
Systems have been known in the art for oxidizing hydrocarbons to harmless chemical constituents. A strong oxidizing agent known for such a use is hydrogen peroxide. In a reaction known as the Fenton reaction, hydrogen peroxide can be mixed with a metallic salt such as ferrous sulfate to produce a free radical, which breaks bonds in the hydrocarbon molecule in an exothermic reaction to produce a low-free-energy state, generally comprising a production of carbon dioxide and water.
Particular in situ systems utilizing Fenton-type reactions have been disclosed by Brown (U.S. Pat. N. 4,591,443) and Wilson (U.S. Pat. No. 5,611,642), both of which include mixing the Fenton reactants prior to introduction into the soil and ground water. Vigneri (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,286,141 and 5,520,483) has described a remediation method and system that includes a preacidification of the ground water prior to a sequential introduction of the Fenton reactants, wherein hydrogen peroxide is added after an injection of ferrous sulfate at a high concentration.
It has also been found that some sites with certain geological characteristics consume remediation reactants; for example, high-carbonate soils, containing high concentrations of limestone or shells, can act as a buffer by raising the pH of the treating components and reduce their efficacy.
Further, some systems attempted to be used for remediation have been known to result in explosion owing to a lack of vapor extraction from an underground reaction site.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a system and method for remediating a site containing hydrocarbon contaminants.
It is also an object to provide such a system and method that are in situ.
It is another object to provide such a method and system for delivering a remediating reaction to a contaminated site.
It is a further object to provide such a method and system for controlling a remediating reaction within a contaminated site.
It is an additional object to provide such a method and system for providing an optimal pH at the contaminated site.
It is yet another object to provide such a method and system for extracting potentially harmful vapors from the contaminated site.
It is yet a further object to provide such a method and system for achieving penetration of the remediation effectors into a dense medium having a low value of hydraulic conductivity.
These and other objects are achieved by the method and system of the present invention, an in situ ground water and soil remediation treatment utilizing a Fenton-type reaction. It is to be understood here that the word soil is to be interpreted in its broadest sense, and should be taken to include components of ground as are known in the art, such as, but not limited to, various types of soils and clays.
In a first embodiment, the method comprises the steps of introducing a first compound into a site that contains ground water and soil contaminated with a hydrocarbon. Typically testing will have been undertaken to determine the location and extent of the "contaminant plume," that is, the spread of the contaminant throughout the site. The site is preferably essentially chemically untreated prior to the first compound's introduction. The first compound is permitted to diffuse through the site, allowing sufficient time for the first compound to achieve equilibrium within the contaminant plume.
Next a second compound is introduced into the site. This second compound comprises an oxidizing agent that has the ability to react with the first compound to release a free radical in a Fenton-type reaction. The first and second compounds are permitted to react to release a free radical, which is permitted to act upon a site contaminant to form an environmentally neutral species. Exemplary first and second compounds comprise, but are not intended to be limited to, a metallic salt and hydrogen peroxide, respectively. As described above, the environmentally neutral species may comprise such compounds as carbon dioxide and water, although these species are not intended as limitations.
In a second embodiment of the invention, the first compound is introduced into a contaminated site and is permitted to diffuse therethrough, such diffusion aided by turbulence induced in the groundwater. The second compound is introduced, also with turbulence induced in the ground water to facilitate dispersion. Again, the Fenton-type reaction is permitted to occur, decontaminating the site.
In a third embodiment of the invention, a system is provided for remediating a contaminated site. In a particular embodiment, an injection portal is introduced into the site beneath the watertable, through which the first and second compounds can be introduced. Means are further provided for introducing turbulence into the ground water to enhance the diffusion of the compounds and their mixing. In a particular embodiment means are also provided for venting accumulated gases from the reaction site.
In all embodiments it has been found advantageous in certain geological systems also to provide a pH adjustment adapted to optimize the Fenton reaction. For example, as discussed above, high-carbonate sites can consume reactants by acting as a pH buffer and raising the pH of the groundwater upon an introduction of the reactants.
Advantageously, it has also been found that a particular turbulence-introducing means serves the dual purpose of providing a pH adjustment; namely, the introduction of carbon dioxide gas, which lowers the pH of the groundwater at the reaction site. It has also been found that the pH-adjustment means, e.g., CO2, can be added either before or during the reaction process; so the invention is not intended to be limited to the use of CO2 as the turbulence-creating means.
Further, an aspect of particular embodiments of the invention have been found to confer additional safety advantages. In particular, the vapors created and collected underground in some known systems must diffuse somewhere, typically along some "path of least resistance" underground. Such diffusion has created serious hazards even remote from the cleanup site, leading to explosions. Thus an element of the present invention also prevents the occurrence of these hazardous conditions by extracting reaction vapors from the site before they can seep elsewhere.
Additionally, in prior art systems, such as those disclosed in the parent cases to the present application, reaction is predicated on sufficient soil porosity that the reactants can be transported to a desired reaction site. Therefore, in an alternate embodiment, means and steps are provided for enhancing reactant transport, wherein, prior to the first and the second introducing steps, the soil comprising the site is made porous, such as, for example, through physical means, including fluid fracturing methods such as hydraulic and/or pneumatic fracturing.
The features that characterize the invention, both as to organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following description used in conjunction with the accompanying drawing. It is to be expressly understood that the drawing is for the purpose of illustration and description and is not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.

A description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be presented with reference to FIGS. 1-4.
The Chemical Process
The system and method comprise a chemical oxidation process for remediating a site having ground water and soil containing contaminants such as, but not limited to, constituents of gasoline, diesel fuel, dry cleaning and industrial solvents, creosote, polychlorinated biphenyls, other organic-based contaminants, heavy metals, and metal biproducts. An exemplary oxidation reaction, that of benzene, with a free radical proceeds as:
Since the hydroxyl radical has such a short lifetime (˜ms), it is preferable that it be generated in situ. The Fenton pathway for accomplishing this using ferrous ion as an exemplary reactant is:
Using this reaction, organic molecules can be oxidized in a substrate through the addition of an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide and a reactant such as ferrous ion solution.
The amount of reactant required is site-specific and can be seen by one of skill in the art to be related to the physico-chemical characteristics of the site, including the volume of contaminant present, hydraulic conductivity, soil porosity, pH, and buffering capacity of the ground water and soil.
Hydrogen peroxide, being a weak acid (Ka=2�10−12), causes a reduction in the pH of the ground water into which it is introduced. However, upon spontaneous decomposition into water and oxygen gas, the pH returns to normal. The temporary pH depression is advantageous to the reaction, since the creation of hydroxyl radical is favored at lowered pH. The oxygen gas added to the site is also advantageous in creating an environment favorable to microbiological recolonization of the treated area, enhancing biodegradation of any remaining contaminants.
The Fenton reaction is exothermic, which is also favorable for the process of the present invention, since desorption of contaminants is favored at higher temperatures.
Elements, Placement, and Operation of the System
Prior to the introduction of the remediation system 10 into the site 20, a contamination assessment is preferably performed to determine the location of the contaminant plume 22, which is shown schematically in FIG. 1 to be located within the capillary zone 24 and the aquifer 25, beneath the vadose zone 26. As schematically indicated in plan view (FIG. 2), the contaminant plume 22 will typically comprise an irregular shape.
Preferably a zone or radius of influence 125 should be determined prior to installation of the system. The zone of influence 125, which is defined for the purposes of the present invention as a radial distance from an injection point to a location at which the hydrogen peroxide concentration is diluted to less than a predetermined minimum amount, here chosen to be 0.3% by weight. Such a determination can be made by an analytical estimate or by performing a pilot test whereby the zone of influence 125 is physically established. A typical zone of influence 125 comprises approximately 10 feet, although it will be obvious to one of skill in the art that this can vary over a wide range.
The apparatus of a preferred embodiment of the remediation system 10 is depicted schematically in FIG. 1 in cross section and in FIG. 2 in plan view. A plurality of injection portals 12 are constructed and installed in spaced relation from each other such that their zones of influence 125 overlap each other. The depth 124 of their outlets 122 is preferably beneath the contaminant plume 22.
Fenton reactants are introduced into inlets 121 in the injection portals 12 from above-ground vessels, an iron sulfate vessel 127 and a hydrogen peroxide vessel 128. Each vessel 127,128 is in fluid communication via piping 129 to a pump 126 (only one shown in FIG. 1) for facilitating the reactants' introduction into the injection portal 12. Valves 130,131 are provided between each vessel 127,128, respectively, and the pump 126 to permit the selective introduction of each reactant.
In use, the first compound, in a preferred embodiment comprising ferrous sulfate solution at a concentration of 0.3-300 ppm, is introduced first and is allowed sufficient time to diffuse through the site 20. An exemplary time for achieving diffusion is 24 hours, although this is not intended as a limitation.
The second compound, the oxidizing agent, in a preferred embodiment comprising hydrogen peroxide at a concentration of 5-50 wt %, is injected and permitted to react with the ferrous ion, releasing a free radical that acts upon the site contaminants to form environmentally neutral species, including carbon dioxide and water.
In a preferred embodiment means are also provided for causing turbulence in the ground water during the introduction of each of the reactants for facilitating their dispersion throughout the site 20. A plurality of pressurized gas portals 14 are installed, one adjacent each injection portal 12 and having an outlet 142 at a depth 144 beneath that 124 of the injection portal 12. (Under some conditions the depth 144 may be chosen to be above that 124 of the injection portal 12; therefore, this arrangement is not intended as a limitation.) An air (or other gas) compressor 146 is operated in a plurality of on/off cycles to inject gas into the gas portals' inlets 141, which provides turbulent mixing of the reactants and substantially overcomes any naturally occurring preferential pathway in the aquifer 25. Instead of a compressor 146, other means known in the art may be used to introduce gas under pressure, such as a pressurized tank, although these systems are not intended as limitations.
A pH-adjusting means may also be added to the site in order to optimize the conditions for the Fenton reaction. For example, if the geological characteristics of the site have been determined to comprise high-carbonate materials, as discussed above, the turbulence-creating gas may comprise carbon dioxide, which, when dissolved, lowers the pH of the solution by reacting with water to form carbonic acid.
An exemplary injection point (FIG. 3) comprises a unitary bore 40 into which the injection 12 and pressurized gas 14 portals are placed. The portals 12,14 each comprise pipe, such as PVC pipe, at their upper ends, and fluid-permeable material, such as well screen, at their bottom ends. Thus the outlets 122,142 represent a fluid-permeable region 169,149, respectively, in each of the portals 12,14. The portals 12,14 also include locking caps 123,143 affixed via a threaded top portion 123,143 of each portal 12,14. An exemplary bore 40 has a diameter of 8 in. and a depth sufficient to reach beneath the contaminant plume 22 and above a confining layer 29. After insertion of the portals 12,14, the bore 40 is filled from the bottom 402 to a first depth 406 with a packing material 405, such as 6/20 silica sand. The remainder of the bore 40 is filled to a sink depth 407 with grout 408. The portals' inlets 121,141 are left exposed beneath the surface 28, and the top 401 of the bore 40 is covered with a removable cover, such as a manhole 42.
Another feature of a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises means for extracting a vapor component of the reaction product(s) from below ground. This extraction is believed important owing to the explosive nature of the volatilized contaminants, which can accumulate. This feature is believed preferable over simply monitoring the site, as migration of the vapors may occur into unknown areas, which may include remote locations such as basements, sewer pipes, or other underground utilities. Such a potentially dangerous explosive environment is avoided with the use of the present invention, which provides a vapor collection system to establish a partial vacuum in the vadose zone 26.
The vapor collection system in a preferred embodiment comprises an extraction blower 166 connected via piping to the top openings 161 of a plurality of pressurized gas portals 16. Each gas portal 16 extends to a depth 164 in the vadose zone 26, where vapors are collected into a bottom opening 162. An activated carbon filter system 168 is also provided in a preferred embodiment, through which the vapors collected into the blower 166 pass prior to venting into the atmosphere.
In an embodiment of the method for use at sites where the soil has a low porosity and/or possesses a low value of hydraulic conductivity, an additional step and means are added to increase the soil's porosity. This make take the form, for example, of creating a plurality of fissures in the soil, such as by performing at least one of hydraulic or pneumatic fracturing, a diagram of an exemplary apparatus 50 for which is shown in FIG. 4. This will increase the hydraulic conductivity of the soil by several orders of magnitude, as has been shown during use in soil vacuum extraction and groundwater recovery.
Hydraulic fracturing is a technique known in the art that comprises forcing a liquid into the soil 20 under sufficient pressure to create the fissures, substantially horizontal fissures, when the pressure exceeds the cohesive strength of the soil. Pneumatic fracturing is a technique that involves forcing gas into the subsurface with sufficient pressure to exceed the cohesive strength of the soils, creating fissures. The fluid is forced under pressure into the lumen 501 of a downwardly projecting pipe 502, which extends into a portal 503 in the soil 20 and is capped at the bottom. Surrounding the outside of the pipe 502 is a pair of axially spaced-apart plates 504 that are dimensioned to closely engage the portal 503. A plurality of holes 505 in the pipe region 506 between the plates 504 permit the fluid to escape into the portal 503 and then, given sufficient pressure, to be forced into the surrounding soil 20 of the site, creating a network of fissures 507. Once the fissures 507 are created with fracturing equipment 50, a fluid is injected into the open fissures 507 that contains means for holding the fissures open. Such a holding means comprises a proppant, such as a graded sand. Exemplary fluids for use in fluid fracturing include, but are not intended to be limited to, compressed air, carbon dioxide gas, water, and water including a biodegradable gel. The gel serves to suspend the proppant.
An additional benefit of this method is that, when gases, e.g., oxygen, are generated by the Fenton-type reaction as described above and by an oxidation of the contaminant, e.g., carbon dioxide, a further increase in porosity of the soil is effected by building gas pressure, creating microfissures in the soil media.
Exemplary Field Study
A field study was undertaken at a highly contaminated petroleum tank site comprising the following site-specific geology:
The site-specific hydrogeology studies indicated that ground water monitor wells at 1.0 gpm dried the wells. Recharge to the monitor wells was low. A surficial water table aquifer thickness of 15 ft was based on deep monitor well boring lithology. An assumed porosity of 15% was also based on boring lithology.
Free hydrocarbon contaminant was observed in the vadose zone soil around the petroleum dispenser island, under the concrete apron in front of the building, and adjacent the former tank pad area. Free contaminant was also observed in the capillary fringe of the former tank pad area. Excessively contaminated soils extended from approximately 0.5 ft below ground to the capillary fringe.
The remediation system in this example included 35 bores, a catalyst injection of 1.4 wt % at 3 gpm followed by an oxidant injection of 25 wt % at 1.3 gpm. The results for six injection points (IP) are presented in Table 1 at t0 and t1, 1 week later. Measured quantities are given in units of micrograms per liter (μg/L) or parts per billion (ppb). BDL=below detection limit; % red=percent reduction; BTEX=benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylene; MTBE=methyl tert-butyl ether; naph=total naphthalenes. The data in this table indicate that the process and system of the present invention are effective in significantly reducing contaminants to environmentally acceptable values. Such values may be determined by local regulations mandating such values as drinking water standards and soil cleanup goals. The flexibility of the present invention makes it efficacious for reaching virtually any level desired.
Measurements were also made throughout the remediation time from t0 to 48 hours of temperature, pH, and conductivity, and these are displayed in Table 2. The data indicate that the site returns to approximately its pretreatment pH and temperature within 48 hours, and the conductivity is reduced to 0.1% of the value measured upon introduction of catalyst solution.
It may be appreciated by one skilled in the art that additional embodiments may be contemplated, including alternative reactants and portal arrangements.
In the foregoing description, certain terms have been used for brevity, clarity, and understanding, but no unnecessary limitations are to be implied therefrom beyond the requirements of the prior art, because such words are used for description purposes herein and are intended to be broadly construed. Moreover, the embodiments of the apparatus illustrated and described herein are by way of example, and the scope of the invention is not limited to the exact details of construction.
Having now described the invention, the construction, the operation and use of preferred embodiment thereof, and the advantageous new and useful results obtained thereby, the new and useful constructions, and reasonable mechanical equivalents thereof obvious to those skilled in the art, are set forth in the appended claims.

Comedian Rajiv Satyal Comes Home to Ohio, 10/5
From corporate cubicles to Comedy Clubs, "Funny Indian" Rajiv Satyal has been making people laugh all over the world for a decade. Now, the former Procter & Gamble marketing manager will bring his unique brand of sidesplitting humor to his hometown of Fairfield, Ohio, for the first time in 10 years on Friday, October 5 at the new Fairfield Community Arts Center Theatre. It will be the first ever standup comedy show at the center.
Satyal, a Los Angeles-based, second-generation Indian American, grew up in Fairfield, a Cincinnati suburb. After graduating from the University of Cincinnati with a degree in engineering, he worked for Procter & Gamble for four years, before deciding he would rather make people laugh than sell them toothpaste and diapers. His experiences at the world's largest consumer products company often figure into his act, but never in a derogatory way.
"It's common for comedians to say they hated their jobs, but I actually loved it at P&G," Satyal said. "While I worked there, I won P&G's Funniest Employee Contest. That's saying something, considering four comedians from P&G have gone full-time in the past decade. I still come back from time to time and do shows for them."
And other Fortune 500 companies, as well. In addition to working the Comedy Club circuit, Satyal developed Standpoint, an agency that helps marketers generate insights for their businesses. The group has done programs for such clients as Herbal Essences Haircare®, Gillette®, Clairol® Nice 'n Easy and Dannon® Yogurt.
Satyal, who describes his performance style as alternatively self-aggrandizing and self-deprecating, has opened many times for well-known comedians Kevin Nealon ("Saturday Night Live," "Weeds"), Kevin James ("The King of Queens"), Tim Allen ("Home Improvement"), Dave Chappelle ("The Chappelle Show") and legendary Indian comedian Russell Peters, who declared Satyal one of the top two U.S.-based Indian comics. Satyal has previously performed on NBC, on three continents, and at Comedy Clubs in Cincinnati, but he has never done a full performance in Fairfield. His 90-minute "homecoming" show in Fairfield will be a multimedia experience, and will include photos and videos of his recent U.S. government-sponsored comedy show, "Make Chai Not War."

I need to replace a relay that had broken leads on my spa circuit board. On the back of the board, the lead that I need to remove is covered in what looks like tin foil (but obviously is not)...tried to post pic but it didn't work. Anyway can I solder through that foil? What is it for?

Did Justin Bieber Cause Selena Gomez to Go to Rehab?
Justin Bieber has plenty of troubles of his own, but was it he who caused Selena Gomez to embark on a hush hush two-week trip to rehab?
Justin Bieber has plenty of troubles of his own, but was it he who caused Selena Gomez to embark on a hush hush two-week trip to rehab?
The skies apparently were not so friendly to a crew flying Justin Bieber and his crew to the Super Bowl.
Justin Bieber's star power wasn't enough to secure entry into several exclusive pre-Super Bowl parties! All that bad behavior is catching up to him.
Justin Bieber has been grabbing lots of headlines for his behavior as of late. Miley Cyrus, who is in the spotlight as often as he and who endures just as much public scrutiny, offered him some advice and it was simple. Pay someone!
Oh, look! Here's another headline-grabbing legal headache related to Justin Bieber.
The petition launched to deport Justin Bieber is being run up the political flagpole.
Justin Bieber's toxicology report is back a week after his arrest for DUI and drag racing in Miami.
Pop star Justin Bieber is in trouble with the law again. After his most recent arrest he will reportedly be charged with criminal assault against a limo driver.
Justin Bieber will return to court regarding his controversial DUI and drag racing charges on a very special day – Valentine's Day. Let's hope the judge has a little love for The Biebs.
After being arrested in Miami last week for DUI, drag racing and more, Justin Bieber, is reportedly spending some time in Panama and is surrounded by his management team and others trying to get him back on the right path. Without a doubt, Bieber has millions of fans that stand behind him and will continue to support him no matter how reckless or dangerous his behavior becomes there are those that are fed up with his antics and want him to return to his native home country of Canada.
After being released from a Miami jail for DUI, drag racing and more, Justin Bieber headed straight to the studio to work on a new song about the wild night and the events that lead up to his arrest. J-Si and Kellie shared it with us yesterday morning and it's definitely a video and song not to miss!

"They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities."
"A revelation is to be received as coming from God, not because of its internal excellence, or because we judge it to be worthy of God; but because God has declared it to be His in as plain and undeniable a manner as He has declared creation and providence to be His."
"Most White Houses believe that a leak is an uncontrolled revelation where they're not in control of it. Otherwise, it's associated with implementation of policy."
"I had a revelation in the fact that Palestinians are not the terrorists they are made out to be in the West, nor are they haters of Israel, ... Sometimes we don't see the Palestinian side because no one is willing to take them seriously because they have a reputation of being terrorists."
"My book is not a book of dirty stories. There are no shocking revelations. I wasn't looking for any and I didn't find any."

This day in college football history: Drew Bledsoe, Huskies' title hopes dashed in Apple Cup blizzard
Originally written on No 2 Minute Warning | Last updated 11/21/11
On this day in 1992 The 1992 Apple Cup remains one of the biggest in series history. Photo source: The Seattle Times On a snowy day in Pullman, Wash., No. 25 Washington State won the Apple Cup and ended the national title hopes of No. 5 Washington in a 42-23 stunner. Trailing 7-6 at the half, the Cougars ran away from the Huskies in the third quarter behind two touchdown passes from Drew Bledsoe, a touchdown run by running back Shaume Wright-Fair (22 rushes for 193 yards and three scores) and a fumble recovery by guard Konrad Pimiskern in the end zone to take a decisive 35-7 advantage. Washington rallied in the final frame but it wasn't enough to save a win in the final Pac-10 game of College Football Hall of Fame coach Don James.

We love going for a walk with the dig, followed by a kick about with the kids and then gorgeous food and drink at the cafe.
Nice walk by the river. Excellent to see a cricket game in action. Good playground. Surprising countryside feel.
My son and I love this park - especially the water bit.
For little, little ones there are less swings etc. But we always find something to do if the swings are occupied.
Café is AMAZING, very busy, but wonderful, decent priced home cooked food. Homemade fish fingers etc.
They gave me a completely messed up, wrong order. Took food away then kept me waiting another 20 mins for my correct order. Not impressed. Risotto tasted sweet, quite lemony. Very odd, microwave reheated garbage, do avoid.
Also the toilets are old, disgusting..and 300 yards away in the park, yes, the cafe itself has no toilet..it is unbelievable.
I live but a short walk from the Park and like to visit as often as possible. I must confess that I miss the old Lido and paddling pools, but hey, you can't stop progress. Needless to say, the fish ladder (don't know if that is the correct term for it, but let's not lose any sleep over that) on...
We visited the park for a couple of hours on a sunny afternoon and it was packed as children were off school, but still enjoyed it. There is plenty for everyone to do there, including grassy areas for ball games, outside gym equipment, skate boarding/bicycle area, large playground, water fountain features, boating lake, tennis courts and a good cafe with...
As I spent many of my childhood summer here; swimming and playing in the pools and then lido; playing tennis, outdoor chess and draughts, outdoor bowls and having lots of picnics with friends and family, by the river which runs through it and cooling off underneath the willow trees, this park has a very special resonance for me and such...
Dissappointing food for outrageous prices. Cakes very expensive. Furniture being scraped along the floor by the staff whilst customers dining , surely to pick them up to move would be more considerate and far less noisy. Even a cup of tea was overpriced, either that or the cups aren,t much bigger than egg cups. Would only visit again if I...
I love the park and the flowers, there is plenty to do, nice and green, and the water is lovely. Unfortunately there is a but (pun intended). Sat on the grass with friends (a mix of male and female ) enjoying the nice clean park and the sun when a group of boys probably 16/17 came out of the river...
yes this is another place we visited regularly as a child , back then there was a lido and also kids paddle pool outside . We spent many a summer in both of these and who can forget the boating lake ! there is also an excellent cafe there , a lot better than when i was younger .

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 4/4/12
Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig offered a one-word review of the Miami Marlins' new ballpark. His word: Wow. The critique came 90 minutes before the first pitch of the first game Wednesday in the Marlins' season opener against the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals. Selig lobbied for years in support of team owner Jeffrey Loria's campaign for the ballpark. There was considerable local opposition to the $634 million project, which was financed primarily with tax money, but Selig predicted critics will eventually be swayed. Two other teams still seek new homes - the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland A's.

In a saucepan cook the onion in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is softened, add the flour, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the broth, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring, and add the cucumber. Bring the mixture to a blender, and purée it with the tofu and the lemon juice until the mixture is smooth. Bring the remaining broth mixture in the pan to a boil, add the scallops, and simmer them, stirring, for 3 minutes, or until they are just firm.

Maryland Trooper Charged With Assaulting Defendant
The Maryland State Police have officially charged one of their own this week, as a criminal summons has just been issued for a 28 year-old trooper. The trooper is a five-year veteran of the force who just two years ago received national recognition for his role in rendering first aid to an assault victim at an Orioles game. Now it's the trooper himself who faces a second degree assault charge, coupled with another charge for misconduct while in office. Ironically the summons was issued to the state police headquarters in Baltimore County, and not the home address of the trooper, who is on paid leave. Police officers and other certain government employees have the right to keep their home address private, which is undoubtedly why the MSP issued the criminal summons to their Pikesville office.

Mike Kasper broadcasted LIVE this afternoon from Expo Idaho for Dennis Dillon's Weekend Sales Event. The Dennis Dillon team has moved EVERY car to Expo Idaho for the weekend. After handing out CDs to lucky winners Mike found every Camaro, Challenger and Charger in the building within the hour
I thought watching Kevin & Jimmy on a roller-coaster was funny. But watching them slap each other with giant hands is even better.
Do you hate glitter? How it get's everywhere & never comes off? Well now you can send glitter hate mail.
I don't know how this is possible, but apparently she had no idea. And neither did her family or the babies father.
Sia's latest music video for Elastic Heart features Shia LaBeouf and Maddie Ziegler. And it doesn't give Shia the best image, especially since he's 28 & Maddie is 12.
So I got home last night & there was a belated Christmas present. It's something I love but I know others are going to absolutely hate it. Especially some people at work, like Kasper & Kate.
You can see any day of the week how music & an artists can impact someone's life. But watching an artist be actively involved with their fans is rare. Taylor Swift probably is my favorite Santa celeb, I'm seriously impressed.
Mike Kasper was out at Team Mazda Subaru today letting everyone know about the amazing Year End Sale they have going on. You can buy any vehicle at Team with $0 down and $0 payments for 90 days! And when you make a purchase at Team Mazda, you get a $1,000 Holiday Gift Card for you to spend anywhere you'd like
I feel pretty spoiled this year! And also like my family knows me so well. The days of people saying I'm hard to shot for are over finally.

Yes, I've acknowledged in a previous post that the TB section has some inaccuracies.
Not the only area with inaccuracies. Other changes include flattened complex surfaces (like the top of the TB bay and on the lower sensor dome "boxes"), window placement, and structural shapes (like the 3 protrusions around the deflector dish.) And I use the word changes here because some variations could be deliberate. Not hard to imagine the desire to reduce polygons so the rendering times could be increased on that turn-of-the-century technology LOL.
I only partially agree with you.
And I don't have a problem with that. This place would be boring if we all agreed LOL. Seriously though, I come here to exchange ideas and see different perspectives, not litigate differences of opinion.
IMO, this CG model is in orthographic view and as you noted, appeared in the DE film. We can make an accurate statement about this CG Enterprise as a representative of the refit Enterprise whereas we cannot make such a claim of the perspective-distorted photos and screen captures.
And normally I would agree with you about the value of orthos, if this CG model was a decent representation of the primary filming model. IMO, it is not and using it (to me anyway) is akin to using the AMT model to make judgments about the TOS filming model.
(and FWIW the front and back views are not true orthos; you can see the effects of perspective on the engines.)

Millions of Americans make the same mistake and throw away their food scraps and yard waste when they could be making a compost pile instead. In fact, according to the EPA, 20 to 30 percent of garbage is actually organic material that could be reused to enrich your soil and lower your carbon footprint. In honor of Earth Day, now's the perfect time to start composting. After you get your heap started with those old leftovers and yard trimmings, here are 10 lesser-known things you can add to your compost pile.
Newspaper – As long as you shred your old newspapers, they can be added to your compost pile.
Dryer lint – Check for any loose change before you throw it in.
Pizza boxes, egg cartons, cereal boxes and paper towel rolls – You'll need to tear them up into little pieces first.
Vacuum cleaner waste – Just be sure to wear a mask while dumping that dust
Fireplace ashes – While charcoal ash can be dangerous for your plants, your fireplace ashes can be a great addition to your compost heap. Just make sure the soot has completely cooled down.
Old wooden utensils – Most wood can be thrown into your compost pile as long as you chop it into little pieces first.
Old leather – The older it is, the faster it'll degrade.
Hair – Okay, we'll admit this one is pretty disgusting, but if you have the stomach for it, you can toss your hair clippings into your compost pile.
Cotton or wool clothing – Check the tag to make sure it's 100% pure.
Cellophane bags – You need to be positive it's pure cellophane. Don't risk it if you aren't certain.
Before you throw everything in your compost pile, keep in mind that some items can be dangerous to plant in your backyard. Here's what not to compost:

Poor Mans Distance Scale?

Poor Mans Distance Scale?
10 months ago
So could one mark their lens manual focus ring for maximum DOF? Say a mark with white pen showing where the focus distance is for maximum DOF! The reference mark could be done by focusing on something at Hyperfocal distance.
This could speed things up when photographing at maximu DOF.
I guess on a prime lens this would be fine, certainly a telephoto you would have to pick one of the extremes. Mostly likely at the smallest focal length makes the most sense

The first publicly available jailbreak for iOS 8.3 is here - and he comes back from China. However, the installation is not easy, as a self-experiment shows.
The timing of the publication of the TaiG jailbreak for iOS 8.3 works shortly before release of iOS 8.4, which is due to the end of June, a bit inconvenient: The window of the installation could be small. In addition, the installation is how our self-test shows no problems.
First is to say that the installation at your own risk as with all jailbreaks. Because at worst threaten hardware damage. In addition, you should definitely create a complete backup of your iPhone or iPad. Should something go wrong, then can restore the data.
Jailbreak in one click
TaiG 2.0.0 can be exploited on all iOS 8.3 enabled devices will be installed under Windows. The download is available here. Then check which version of iTunes is installed. Do this, press the Alt key, click on the menu on the question mark, and then click Info. In the first line the program version appears. With the current version 12.1.2 However, there were problems; It is therefore recommended that the older version 22.214.171.124 to look at Google and install manually. On the iOS device to iOS 8.3 has been found.
If all goes well, it concerns with TaiG 2.0.0 to a one-click jailbreak. For this, the iPhone is connected to the computer, ended iTunes and started TaiG. The ZIP folder does not completely unpack it, it puts everything important in a file. Then, the process goes through and you get a device on which Jailbreak including Cydia exist.
Cydia can help
But it can also lead to problems. So TaiG will sometimes stand at 20 percent, the iPhone is continuously rebooting - it hangs in a so-called boot loop. Exactly this problem occurred in our experiment. We could solve it by installing an older version of iTunes. According to rumors, the problem is due to the 64-bit version of iTunes, the alternative 32-bit version to read our Windows 8 computer but not install. Accordingly, it makes sense to iTunes 188.8.131.52 (see above) to use.
Another problem also has to do with iTunes: TaiG asserts that Apple's drivers are not installed. Here helps only a complete un-install of iTunes including all Apple system components and reinstall.
Standard Jailbreak Procedure
Does it elsewhere errors, help the usual measures, which should be carried out in any case, prior to installation. So you have to "Find My iPhone" switch off, turn off the passcode lock and the PIN code request. The support WLAN also must not be activated.
Currently the jailbreak still suffers from the fact that Cydia substrates (formerly MobileSubstrate) has not yet been ported to iOS 8.3 - and in exactly this framework is a major part of the jailbreak apps. At an adaptation of the framework, however, worked diligently. This issue should be in the next few days by itself.
[Update 06/25/15 15:06 clock:] Cydia is now in an updated version before that supports iOS 8.3 [/ Update].
Jailbreaks are no small measure. Who chooses to unlock his device, should consider that he thus potentially fetches attack surfaces in the house. So Apple warns even long before appropriate modifications - and in no uncertain terms: "An unauthorized change of iOS can lead to security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life and other problems," it says on the Apple Support. In addition, the manufacturer can reject the warranty.
Accordingly it is recommended that jailbreaks not carry on production equipment - but best to use iOS hardware, which if not functional you can not bear, if necessary. In addition, one should not possible to use jailbreak devices with its main Apple ID, but best to create a separate account for this purpose.
It is also not what lies in TaiG Code. Sources do not publish the Chinese Jailbreaker - accordingly applies here: use at your own risk. The jailbreak team had previously noticed already by a controversial alternative app store.

Today at Meizu's event in China the company presented their new flagship phone, the MX5. The MX5 is the successor to the MX4 released last year, and while I haven't been able to review that unit yet, I did take an extensive look at its bigger brother, the MX4Pro. The MX5's biggest characteristic is the change in display technology. Meizu has now adopted Samsung's AMOLED screen in place of the traditional LCD technology. This also leads to a change in form-factor as now Meizu had to abandon its 16:10 aspect-ratio for the more conventional 16:9 resolutions. At 1080p and 5.5" diagonal, the screen isn't as high resolution as one might have expected and thus regresses in terms of DPI in comparison to the MX4. This...
