Boulder Launches Energy Challenge
The Boulder Energy Challenge was launched to solicit innovative solutions from the Colorado community for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the city. Boulder launched the program that is funded by the Climate Action Plan tax and will make about $300,000 available to 5 to 10 projects in 2014.
Grants in the first annual cycle will range from $10,000 to $100,000 and primarily focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy systems.
The Boulder Energy Challenge will support the development and commercialization of emission reduction technology and strategies that lead to private sector adoption, as well as promote the emerging low-carbon innovation sector, according to the city. Boulder says these objectives reflect the value in pairing public sector programs and services with market-driven efforts to achieve its climate commitment goals.
Businesses, nonprofits, academic institutions or individuals with the following types of projects may apply:
- Pilot projects
- Concept feasibility/demonstration
- New product/service development
- Education and behavior change
- Other innovative projects to significantly reduce emissions
Proposals will be evaluated by city staff and community experts based on the ability of the project to meet the program objectives and the project's feasibility. Evaluators also will consider more specific aspects of each project, such as potential energy use reductions or renewable energy creation, degree of innovation, scalability and team qualifications.

Revved up: Hyundai engineers head to UCD
UC Davis and Hyundai Motor Corp. on Tuesday turned the ignition on the first-ever corporate-funded center on campus.
The world's fourth-largest automaker will send eight of its engineers at a time to learn and carry out research, much like graduate students, support student research and give students a chance to rub elbows with professionals.
The company has made a three-year commitment to the project, dubbed the Hyundai Center of Excellence in Vehicle Dynamic Systems and Control.
Hyundai will spend $940,000 on the center in its first year, including the renovation of office space and a conference room.

We've all in our lives made the mistake of thinking of color as this fixed quantity—some sort of absolute that can be communicated, interpreted and reproduced losslessly. The sky is blue. The tree is green. The car is red. I can write those words, and the colors materialize in your mind. But are the colors you "see" in your mind the same as the ones I intended to communicate to you? In other words, do they match? Surely not.
If I still taught in K-12, would I use a blog? It's one of those new technology tools that some of us digital immigrants might struggle to appreciate.
Chat software (text or media-based) provides an excellent tool in supporting academic dialog (exchange), critical thinking, and knowledge building. The immediacy of the technology provides students with a direct connection with the instructor as well as other students. While chat software is usually used for "chatting," and, therefore, it has a relaxed and colloquial protocol, with a little thought and planning, it can also be used well to support instruction.
It is inevitable that eventually a school will be able to purchase a total, mobile learning package. But today, putting a pedagogically effective mobile learning initiative into a K-12 classroom means putting pieces to a puzzle together. Based on personal experiences in mobile learning classrooms we are here to bear witness: it IS worth the struggle!
Much has been written recently about the impact of social networking tools in teaching and learning and how educators can build on the skills of their students in using these tools. But if educators only integrate the ability of students to connect and socialize, deeper points of learning will be missed. While good teaching and learning rests on effective relationships, in an active learning community, those relationships should evolve into actual idea exchange and knowledge construction.
Leslie Wilson of the One to One Institute explains how when it comes to 1-to-1 programs, it's not about the device. It's about teaching, learning, and transforming school.
In "Crossing the Chasm," the high-tech marketing bible, G. Moore advises that If we want to convince mainstream educators to adopt mobile technologies, we need to (1) stop focusing on the technology per se (screen size, chip version, etc.), and (2) paint pictures of what goes on in the classroom when mobile technologies are used and what the kids will be like after using the mobile technologies. Here's a crack at painting those pictures.
Over the last decade or so, numerous articles have appeared that conflate the ideas of a virtual science lab and a simulated science lab. For example, the College Board, in its guidelines, says, "A virtual lab is an interactive experience during which students observe and manipulate computer-generated objects, data, or phenomena in order to fulfill the learning objectives of a laboratory experience."
Students can have a range of physical, cognitive, sensory, and learning disabilities that affect their entire lives. Any of these might pose unique academic challenges, particularly when learning mathematics. The good news is that technology is removing barriers for the education of students with disabilities in regular classrooms. Unfortunately, not all software is based on principles of universal design.

Laser Vision in Las Vegas
Cali and Neal are doing amazing work...
If you subscribe to the free and fun-filled newsletter, you probably have heard me mention Geekbrief.TV several times and what Cali Lewis is up to over there. (pictured below) She uses my art in the background of her shows, and, well, I think they always look amazing. Believe it or not, I can be objective about such matters! Anyway, I was watching www.geekbrief.tv/video-nokia-booklet-3g-review-tricaster-... and I noticed that they added moving "snow" to one of my images from Whistler, up where they are preparing for the Olympics. The snow looks really great!
In other news, Jeff McCord from the Moxi Mo Show is also using my art in the backgrounds of his video podcasts as well. Fun!

The new Vegas City Center has opened. Isn't "City Center" one of the most boring names ever for such an awesome place? This was surely a name that was decided upon by a committee. And, this is precisely why you never see a statue of a committee.
Thankfully, the architects that designed this 21st century piece of art where not part of the naming committee. It is clear they had leeway to design something unexpected and beautiful. Howard Roark would be proud.

1967 Cadillac eldorado $45,000 www.supersportmotors.com SOLD
1967 Cadillac Eldorado. I think this is the first time in my life I have ever offered an automobile for sale to the world that has never been for sale before. What I mean by that is, this Eldorado was sold new on June 29, 1967 in Ogallala, Nebraska to a doctor and his wife. As a couple they kept the car until the early 90's. They lived in Florida in the winter months and would drive the Eldorado to Florida every winter for 25 years. In the early 90's they gave to there nephew who then passed it on to another relative. I purchased the car about 6 years ago from this gentleman by talking him out of the car. I found it online from photos at a national Cadillac show it was at and won first place. I contacted this gentleman and purchased the car even though it was not currently for sale anywhere, therefore, I am the first person since the car was new to actually put this incredible car up for sale to the general public. The car was completely disassembled prior to me purchasing the car and was completely and utterly restored to the highest levels I have ever seen in a 67 Eldorado. I am quite certain it is the best one in existence. In my video I stated the paint is base coat clear coat but it is not. It has a full high quality lacquer paint job that is without flaw anywhere. It is absolutely perfect throughout and the only new car on the market with paint like this would be a Bentley. There is no orange peel anywhere and it is PERFECT !! My favorite part of the car is the leather interior. It is all new and truly spectacular. Soft and supple to the touch and beautiful to sit on. For those of you who know these Eldorado's then you know this is a rare one. They did not make many console cars is 67 and fewer still with front disk brakes. This is that car. The original doctor who ordered this car ordered it completely loaded out and in my opinion one of the finest color combinations I have ever seen. A/C blows cold and the car is a pleasure to drive and own. It is officially for sale, I might consider trades depending on what you have. The car is located right here in Clinton NY 13323. I welcome all visitors. First person who is serious about buying this car and comes to look at it will buy it. It has a presence on every level that will make all men weak in the knees and there ladies as well. Don't low ball me,, I do not welcome those offers. Call me on the phone and talk to me. My number is 315-725-1966. I own 17 cars in my personal collection at the moment that range from old Shelby Mustangs to jags and Mercedes. I love cars and have ever since I started collecting matchbox cars in 1971. I still have all those matchbox cars. The 17 cars in my collection are nothing more than big matchbox cars that I love and show off all the time. Once in a while I let a few go so I can have the pleasure of going out and finding some more. That is why this Eldorado is leaving my stable. Michael Stanton. Thank you for viewing my auction. www.supersportmotors.com
1978 Lincoln Continental MK5
http://www.barnfineclassics.com/inventory/1978-lincoln-continental-mark-5-b ill-blass-edition Here is one of the finest MK5's you'll see on the road today! This one is a Bill Blass Edition that came with some very luxurious detailing! It's powered by a 460ci V8 and a C6 3 speed automatic transmission. It's also equipped with power steering, 4 wheel power disc brakes, A/C, hide-away headlights, and sits on a set of turbine-styled cast aluminum wheels with Firestone white wall tires! Aside from the Bill Blass indication on the rear opera windows, the interior has Chamois leather upholstery, Cartier instruments, power windows, power sunroof, power seats, an AM/FM 8 track player (that works!), remote mirror, and over head lighting! Overall, the interior of this '78 Lincoln is luxurious even by today's standards. The Midnight Cordovan painted body is super straight, VERY shiny, and the beautiful chrome accents it nicely! The MK5 runs exceptionally well and shows very little wear for it's age! All in all, this thing is like driving a leather couch with doors! You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer one!

Nina Leonard on in the background, with Jackie Kabler and Chloe Everton - why does it take two to present a one hour show? -, and it got me to thinking : how many of them, if you asked their opinion of the fashion, would respond with 'I wouldn't be seen dead in it!'? That dress does nothing for Jackie, and the one Chloe is wearing isn't much better. As many other posters, along with myself, have said before, they are primarily sales people, working for the company who is selling the products so it is, consequently, their job to maximise purchases. Explanation : this is a clearance show!
i noticed that ch and simon were on earlier..i wondered what it was all about as well....im sure its because with qvc's obsession with guests and there were none for these shows
Yes I have to agree, two 'proper' presenters without a guest is overload, especially unnecessary I would have thought for clearance shows.
The thing with these people is that they can speak for England and love the sound of their own voice so when you have two on it seems they are vying for pole position. One would have been perfectly adequate, in my opinion.
I somehow cannot see Chloe choosing any of these clothes as her preferred attire but, the dress she was wearing was quite nice on her all the same
Trying to give kudos to clearance.
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
The dress Jackie was wearing was reduced by a colossal £1.80! Hope you all rushed to the phones and bagged this amazing bargain!
They are hoping that if they use two presenters it will increase sales, no chance
I expect they wear whatever the producer tells them to fall in love with, and the producer no doubt has an eye on how many dollars they can make!

Ripley and Gerald L. ONeill, San Jose, Calif., assignors to General Electric Company Original application Apr. 10, 1968, Ser. No. 720,320. Divided and this application May 13, 1970, Ser. No. 48,642
Int. Cl. F04f 5/46, 5/48; G210 17/28 US. Cl. 417-180 2 Claims ABSTRACT or THE DISCLOSURE This application is a divisional of US. Pat. No. 3,607,- 635, entitled Nuclear Reactor With Variable Flow Steam Circulator by Charles C. Ripley et al., issued Sept. 21, 1971.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Recently, a device called the aerothermopresser has been developed for use, typically, in improving the efficiency of gas turbines. The aerothermopresser includes a short, narrow cylindrical throat section attached to the turbine exhaust with a diverging generally conical section attached to the throat section. Means are provided to in+ ject water into the flowing exhaust gases at the narrow throat section. The water evaporates, increasing the stagnation pressure at the aerothermopresser exit, improving the efiicency of the gas turbine. The aerthermopresser is described in further detail of A. H. Shapiro et al., in an article entitled The Aerothermopresser-A Device for Improving the Performance of a Gas Turbine Power Plant, Transactions of ASME, April 1956, pp. 617-653.
Still more recently, a somewhat similar device, called the steam thermopresser has been developed for use in a steam circulating system. The steam thermopresser includes, in seriatim, a generally conical converging inlet section, a short throat section and a generally conical diverging diffuser section. Means are provided to inject water as very fine droplets into the thermopresser at the throat section. Superheated steam is fed into the inlet section and through the thermopresser. As the superheated steam accelerates through the converging inlet, a drop in pressure occurs. The pressure recovery during deceleration in the diffuser section, as the density of the flowing steam is increased by the injected water which evaporates while desuperheating the superheated steam, is substantially greater than the pressure drop required for the acceleration process. Thus, a net increase in the stagnation pressure will have occurred. This system is further detailed in D. P. Hines US. Pat. No. 3,565,761.
As is further described in said copending patent application, this system is highly effective as the steam coolant circulating means in a steam cooled nuclear reactor.
A large quantity of superheated steam is required for full capacity operation of a steam thermopreser. During startup of a steam-cooled nuclear reactor or other system requiring superheated steam circulation, this large quantity may not be available. Under these circumstances, the steam thermopresser may be operated as a jet pump, with a single large centerline nozzle upstream of the thermopresser throat supplying driving fluid. Such a system is detailed by C. C. Ripley in U.S. Pat. No. 3,575,807.
3,719,524 Patented Mar. 6, 1973 Steam circulating systems using the steam thermopresser are highly efficient, especially since there is no requirement that large quantities of steam be directly pumped, as is required by the widely used Loefiler system. However, further improvements in the system can be achieved. Problems remain in operating a steam thermopresser at partload. Where the flow of superheated steam through the thermopresser is decreased, the water-evaporating capacity decreases. If the flow of injected Water is not properly adjusted, excessive water may be entrained in the saturated steam leaving the thermopresser. Also, the configuration of the thermopresser inlet and throat sections which are optimized for full capacity fiow will not be optimum for lower flow rates. Similarly, an inlet and throat design which is optimum for thermopresser operation may not be suitable for jet-pump operation during system start-up.
Thus, there is a continuing need for improvement in steam thermopressers to permit variable load operation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide a steam thermopresser which overcomes the above-noted problems.
Another object of this invention is to provide a steam thermopresser capable of eflicient operation over a wide range of steam flow.
Another object of this invention is to provide a steam thermopresser system especially suitable for circulating steam in a steam-cooled nuclear reactor.
Still another object of this invention is to provide a steam circulating system which operates efficiently as both a steam thermopresser and a jet-pump.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide variable configuration inlet and throat sections for a steam thermopresser.
The above objects, and others, are accomplished in accordance with this invention by providing a thermopresser in which the Water injecting means is in the form of an axially movable toroidal manifold within the thermopresser inlet section. Water flow through spray nozzles on the manifold may be adjusted in accordance with superheated steam flow into the thermopresser. As the manifold ring is moved forward, toward the thermopresser throat, it decreases the throat cross-sectional area. Finally, the manifold contacts the thermopresser wall near the throat section. This permits steam fiow only within the toroidal manifold which now acts as the thermopresser inlet wall. Thus, the thermopresser inlet wall may be designed for optimum full load operation and the inside surface of the toroidal manifold may be designed as an optimum inlet surface for part load operation. This system is highly effective in a steam cooled nuclear reactor power plant, since the load may be desirably varied over a substantial range.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Details of the invention, together with various preferred embodiments thereof, will become further apparent upon reference to the drawings, wherein:
FIG. la shows a schematic representation, in section of a thermopresser according to this invention arranged for full load operation;
FIG. lb shows the thermopresser shown in FIG. la arranged for /3 load operation;
FIG. 10 shows the thermopresser shown in FIG. la arranged for Va load operation;
FIG. 2 shows a section through a preferred embodiment of a thermopresser according to this invention; and
FIG. 3 shows a preferred arrangement in a nuclear power plant of the thermopresser of this invention.
3 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring now to FIGS. la, 1b and there is seen a thermopresser according to the present invention arranged for full, /s and /3 load operation, respectively. These figures show a variable flow thermopresser including a feed section 10 through which superheated steam is admitted into the thermopresser body. Feed section 10 is connected to thermopresser inlet section 11 by flanges 12 and 13. Inlet section 11 is connected to diffuser section 14 by flanges 15 and 16. Diffuser sect-ion 14, which is shown broken away, consists of a gradually diverging, generally conical, tube.
Inlet section 11 and diffuser section 14 make up the thermopresser body. The narrowest portion of the thermopresser body, about at the location of flanges 15 and 16, is referred to as the thermopresser throat.
Within inlet section 11 is located a toroidal manifold 17 having a plurality of small spray nozzles 18 therein, located to spray very fine droplets of water or other suitable liquid into the throat section of the thermopresser. Any suitable spray nozzle may be used. A variety of suitable nozzles are described in the above-noted copending application of D. P. Hines, Ser. No. 701,228, filed Jan. 29, 1968. Manifold 17 is divided into inner and outer sections by a generally ring-shaped divider 19. Water is delivered to manifold 17 through pipes 20 and 21. Diverters 22 are included in manifold 17 adjacent the connections to pipes 20 and 21 so that pipe 20 supplies water only to the inner section of manifold 17 while pipe 21 supplies water only to the outer section of manifold 17.
A jet pump nozzle 23 is located within manifold 17 on the centerline of the thermopresser. Driving fluid is supplied to jet pump nozzle 23 through feed pipe 25.
Water is supplied to pipes 20 and 21 through a divided cylindrical conduit 26 which surrounds feed pipe 25 and is secured thereto. Conduit 26 is divided along line 27 so that water Which enters outer housing 28 through pipe 29 passes to pipe 20 through openings 30 and water which enters through pipe 32 passes to pipe 21 through opening 33.
Feed pipe 25 is mounted for axial movement along the thermopresser centerline. Manifold 17, pipes 20 and 21 and conduit 26 are secured to pipe 25 and move with it. A plurality of fins 34 guide the array during movement. Seals 35 and 36 serve as bearings for pipe 25 and conduit 26 where they pass through housing 28 and feed section 10, respectively. Guides 38 serve to guide conduit 26 during movement and to divide the water supply entering through pipes 29 and 32.
FIG. 1a shows the assembly during full-flow operation. Superheated steam is entering at the maximum rate. Manifold 17 is in a position furthest from the walls of inlet section 11. The configuration at the wall of inlet section 11 is optimized for most efficient full-flow operation. Water is fed to manifold 17 from pipes 29 and 32 at full system capacity. Typically, about M; of the total water enters through pipe 29 while about of the total water enters through pipe 32.
As flow of saturated steam through feed section 10 decreases, as for example where load on a turbinegenerator decreases, manifold 17 is moved towards the walls of inlet section 12 and flow of water to manifold 17 decreases proportionately.
It has been found that where superheated steam flow is less than that for which the thermopresser throat crosssectional area was optimized, the throat area should be decreased to retain operating efficiency. As manifold 17 approaches inlet section wall 11, a choking effect takes place, decreasing the effective throat area. Also, as superheated steam flow decreases, the quantity of water required decreases proportionately.
FIG. 1b shows the system arranged for most efficient operation where superheated steam is entering at about full flow. Manifold 17 has been moved to the right until the throat cross-sectional area is again optimum.
The shape of the inner and outer walls of manifold 17 may also be designed to give optimum flow characteristics over a wide range of steam flow rates. Pipe 29 still supplies water at about /3 of the full flow rate to the spray nozzles on the inner section of manifold 17 F low of water through pipe 32 to the spray nozzles on the outer section of manifold 17 has been cut in half, from about /3 to about /3 of the full flow rate. Thus, when steam flow drops to /3 full flow, total water flow is also decreased to about /3 full flow through each of pipes 29 and 32).
FIG. 1c shows the system arranged for superheated steam flow at about /3 full flow. Here, manifold 17 has been moved to the right until it contacts the wall of inlet section 11. Now the inner wall of manifold 17 acts as a thermopresser inlet section of much decreased crosssectional area. Pipe 29 still supplies water at the original rate, about /3 of the full water flow rate. No water is supplied through pipe 32. Thus, throat area and water supply have decreased in proportion to the decrease in steam flow. Also, water is still being sprayed directly into the steam stream, only through the nozzles on the inner section of manifold 17.
This system is capable of smoothly varying output over a range of from to full capacity. The system may be designed, of course, for a wider or narrower range.
Jet pump nozzle 23 and feed pipe 25 serve both as a system start up means (as detailed in the above-noted copending application Ser. No. 701,229) and as means for moving the manifold assembly axially within thermopresser inlet section 11. Water flow and manifold position may be manually adjusted if desired. Where steam flow rate changes frequently, or where more accurate control is desired, valves in the water feed line and the manifold positioning means may be motor driven under the control of a conventional controller which senses variations in steam flow.
FIG. 2 shows an especially preferred embodiment of a variable flow thermopresser, partly in section.
The assembly is connected to a source of superheated steam by flange 100. Entering superheated steam passes to thermopresser 101 consisting of a converging inlet, a narrow throat and a diverging diffuser.
Located coaxially within the thermopresser inlet section is a toroidal manifold 102. While a single manifold is shown, two or more coaxial manifolds may be used if desired. A divider ring 103 within manifold 102 divides the manifold into inner and outer sections. A plurality of small spray nozzles 106 are located in inner wall 104 and outer wall 105.
Water is admitted into manifold 102 through three feed pipes evenly spaced around manifold 102. Only two of these feed pipes are seen in FIG. 2. Feed pipe 108 feeds water to the inner section of manifold 102. Feed pipe 109 feeds water to the outer section of manifold 102 as does the third feed pipe (not shown). These feed pipes recieve feedwater from a conduit 110 which surrounds a jet pump nozzle supply pipe 111.
A housing 112 formed as an integral part of the thermopresser supports conduit 110 by means of a removable insert 113 and includes passages 115 and 116 through which feedwater is admitted. Water entering through passage 115 passes through openings 117 in insert 113, then through opening 118 into conduit 110. Water entering through passage 116 passes through opening 119 in insert 113, then through opening 120 into conduit 110. Conduit 110 is divided into two sections by transverse wall 121 and two axial walls (not shown) which serve to isolate a passage from opening 120 to feed pipe 108. The remainder of conduit 110 connects openings 118 to feed pipe 109 and the third feed pipe (not shown).
Conduit 110 is mounted for axial movement with pipe 111 over bearings 123 and 124 which also serve as seals. Slight water leakage past bearings 123 and 124 is not detrimental to system performance.
Supply pipe 111 bears external threads 125 along a portion just outside insert 113. Threads 125 are engaged by internal threads in a drive means 126. Drive means 126 is rotatably mounted on insert 113. Cooperating flanges on drive means 126 and insert 113 prevent axial movement of drive means 126. Thus, as drive means 126 is rotated, as by handwheel 127, supply pipe and the manifold assembly are moved axially.
Leakage around supply pipe 111 and insert 113 is prevented by packing 128 and 129, respectively. Insert 113 is held in place by bushing 130 which is fastened to housing 112 by studs and nuts 131 and which bears on packing 129.
In operation, at full steam flow through the thermopresser, manifold 102 is positioned at an optimum distance from the thermopresser throat and water is sprayed from spray nozzles 106 at the full design rate. Preferably, in the embodiment shown, A of the full water flow is introduced through feed pipe 108 and the inner spray nozbles while of the water is introduced through feed pipe 109 and the third feed pipe (not shown) and the outer spray nozzles. As steam flow decreases, flow of water to the outer spray nozzles is decreased proportionately. Simultaneously, manifold 102 is moved towards the thermopresser throat to maintain an optimum throat cross-sectional area. When steam flow has dropped to about /3 of full fiow, manifold 102 will be in contact with the thermopresser throat and no water will be sprayed from the outer spray nozzles.
Supply pipe 111 serves to support conduit 110, act as part of the manifold drive assembly and also to supply driving fluid to jet pump nozzle 135 during system start-up.
While throughout the above discussion, the injection of water droplets into a superheated steam stream has been described, it should be remembered that the invention will function with the injection of other liquids into other hot gas streams. For example, water, alcohol or a mixture thereof might be injected into gas turbine exhaust gases passing through a thermopresser to increase turbine efliciency. However, the water-steam system is highly preferred because of the unique and surprisingly high conversion efiiciency obtained in the steam thermopresser. In electric power plants in which turbines are driven by superheated steam, where the steam is produced in a fossil-fired or nuclear steam supply system, it is generally necessary to pump large quantities of saturated steam through the superheater. The steam thermopresser is uniquely capable of producing large quantities of high pressure saturated steam and of driving this steam through the superheater.
The variable flow thermopresser system of this invention has special utility in steam-cooled nuclear reactors which supply superheated steam to a turbine-generator set or other load. A typical nuclear power plant is shown schematically in FIG. 3.
The nuclear power plant includes, basically, a nuclear reactor 200 to supply superheated steam to turbine 201. Reactor 200 includes an upright cylindrical pressure vessel 202 closed at the bottom by a dish-shaped lower head 203 and at the top by a removable dome-shaped upper head 204.
Within pressure vessel 202 is located the core 205 containing nuclear fuel material in a heat generating arrangement. Heat output of core 205 is controlled by a plurality of control rods, one of which is schematically indicated at 208. Vertical openings through core 205, generally indicated at 206 and 207, permit coolant to pass through the core and remove heat therefrom.
Core 205 is located with a shroud 210 which is mounted on lower head 203. Within shroud 210 and below core 205 is located an inlet plenum 211 in which substantially saturated steam collects before passing through core 205. Also within shroud 210, above core 205, is located an outlet plenum 212 to which the now-superheated steam passes from the core.
A portion of the superheated steam in outlet plenum 212 passes upwardly through pipe 213 to turbine 201. Turbine 201 drives generator 214 to produce electrical power. The steam is condensed in main condenser 215 and pumped by condensate pump 216 to storage tank 217.
A plurality of steam thermopressers are located in a water-filled annulus between shroud 210 and the inner wall of pressure vessel 202. Only one of these thermopressers is shown in FIG. 3 for clarity. Thermopresser 220 is positioned to receive superheated steam from outlet plenum 212 and return substantially saturated steam to inlet plenum 211. Axially movable manifold 223 is supplied by two water feed pipes 224 and 225. This arrangement is similar to that shown in FIGS. la, lb and 10. About /3 of the full water flow rate is pumped by pump 226 through line 227 and valve 228 at a constant rate to the inner spray nozzles on manifold 223. Pump 229 pumps water through line 230 and throttle valve 231 to the outer spray nozzles on manifold 223. Throttle valve 231 controls water flow from no flow up to about of the total water flow.
Controller 233 senses steam flow through thermopresser 220 and adjusts throttle valve 231 and operates drive means 234 to adjust the position of manifold 223 relative to the thermopresser throat.
A start-up boiler 235 is provided to provide steam to jet pump nozzle 236 through pipe 237. Flexible section 238 in pipe 237 permits movement as the manifold position is adjusted. Of course, other devices, such as telescoping pipe sections, may be used in place of flexible section 238 to allow movement of manifold 223 while maintaining the fluid supply connection between line 237 and jet pump nozzle 236.
As the load varies, the amount of steam leaving outlet plenum 212 to turbine 201 will vary. When load decreases, control rods are moved into the core decreasing the core heat output. Stream circulation through the thermopresser decreases, so controller 233 partially closes throttle valve 231 and moves manifold 223 towards the thermopresser throat. When the load increases, more steam is required, so controller 233 moves manifold 223 back while permitting more water to pass through valve 231. Thus steam circulation is easily varied and thermopresser 220 operates efiiciently at all times.
Although specific arrangements and proportions have been described above, other suitable arrangements and components may be used, as indicated above, with similar results.
Other modifications and ramifications of the present invention will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading the present disclosure. These are intended to be included within the scope of this invention.

I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Woking. I offer creative wedding photography and portrait photography in Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, Kent, London and throughout the UK. In the last eight years, I have photographed over 250 weddings. These weddings have been very diverse in terms of size and cultural differences. I believe most people are looking for a range of skills in a wedding photographer. They require documentary coverage, classic posing, organization and people skills, plus the ability to inject some fun and quirky shots into the day. My portfolio and blog are designed to demonstrate all these areas.
Each wedding has a planning session at the venue where I look for special locations under all weather conditions. I often make use of those spare moments to get extra couple shots, the ten minutes while the guests are sitting down or a few minutes after the wedding breakfast. Different light conditions add variation to the final set of photographs. The planning session at the venue is vitally important as talking face to face at the venue enables me to discuss problems and possibilities in a way that is not possible on the phone.
Often the wedding itinerary gets tweaked slightly after a photography planning session. I enjoy catching the storytelling moments, but I also want to shoot the couple in a flattering way. The bride; she spends hours in hair and makeup and is wearing a beautiful dress. Therefore, a series of elegant, timeless images, of the bride is important.
I offer Queensberry and Graphistudio albums, and I am always striving to introduce new products. The Digital Matted Album with its layered effects and raised borders is a stunning new option. Clients demand flexibility and do not want to be tied to packages. I am always happy for customers to book me and then decide if they require a certain album at a later date. Although I believe the album is the best way of showing a collection of wedding photos, not all my clients go down this route. All clients receive a disc with high-res images.These images have been filtered and processed; pride goes into the post-production work. I regularly update my blog to showcase my latest work. A blog is a great way of viewing consistency over the whole wedding day.
Portrait Photography
I specialise in lifestyle portrait photography of babies, children and adults. All photo shoots have no time constraints, and I only take one booking a day. Flexibility is the key, and I am happy to travel to your location, or you can come to me. Surrey has so many great places to explore, and I am always happy to photograph in different locations. All the photo shoots are very spontaneous and relaxed affairs.

At last Tuesday evening's city commission meeting, Commissioner Mark Mattmiller said he believed the city can receive grants to purchase and build a skateboard area and equipment.
Mattmiller said he and Commissioner Amanda Moore have been in contact with S.W.A.P. (Skaters with a Purpose) advisor Mark Sims.
Mattmiller said he had been told that some of the grants could be $20,000.
Mattmiller suggested the city ask Jesse Ammerman to help with the grants.
Cynthiana is home to the new Miss Teen America.
Katie Himes competed for the national title and was crowned Sunday, the first Kentucky resident to win the pageant in over 20 years.
"I am very excited," Himes said Monday afternoon on her way home from Windsor Locks, Conn., where the pageant was held last weekend. "It hasn't really sunk in yet."
Himes also received academic, talent, swimsuit and style awards.
"The last thing I remember is them calling my name," Himes said about the moment she was crowned.
The state of Kentucky is expected to receive $3 billion in stimulus funding and Harrison County will come close to receiving $3 million.
Rep. Tom McKee said stimulus funding is determined by each community's need.
"A lot of it is specified by the federal government," McKee said. "It comes with strings attached."

VLC Media Player is an open source video player for reproducing all kind of media files on your computer or device, and which will work especially well if you have Windows 7, XP and iOS.
Sometimes, "free" doesn't mean "bad" and that's the philosophy of VideoLAN (VLC). This open software can reproduce all your videos, no matter what kind of format they are in, because they will work on VLC. It will reproduce your music as well and its download is pretty easy.
It is a good complement for your computer since it is also compatible with programs like SopCast, which allows the smooth running not only of your own movies, but also high quality streaming videos. Furthermore, it is compatible with many Windows OS such as Windows 7 and XP
Media center
VLC has a great diversity of functions. It not only reproduces your videos, it also easily converts them into the format you prefer. Select the bitrate and the type of file and it's done. You can also take screenshots and configure a shortcut to do it.
VLC Media Player reproduces music and streaming
This player allows you to select the audio channel in case your video is dual audio, and also includes an option to set subtitles in srt format. Check the preferences and the video options to change the different visuals such as brightness and contrast. Set the filters you want, hit the play button and configure your ideal way of watching videos.
VLC offers music and streaming
As a media player VLC Media Player reproduces music and streaming. Audio features go from normalization to sampling music. This makes it packed with capability since it can also record sound from a standard microphone, which is a fun thing to try. You can also set the general volume to 200%, but it may distort your sound since it does this digitally.
VLC also can stream video and audio from the Internet. Connect yourself to a broadcast channel and enjoy a whole world of multimedia content. If you can connect to a link, you can watch TV from your computer in HD quality, while it also works as a host or as a server, so you can upload or download a multimedia signal without too much trouble.
The version 2.2.0 has been designed especially for iOS7 and within the new features included are: the ability to play the videos stored in Google Drive and Dropbox via high-bandwidth Streaming, new multitouch gestures, it has improved the process of downloading by a local network, a better organization of series's chapters, supporting new codecs, protocols and formats; and the protection of our Library with lock code.
Kantaris Media Player is a high quality application based on the same VLC Media Player, so it makes a good alternative. However, if you want something much simpler,Media Player Classic is a more basic tool to play videos and music.
VLC Media Player 2.2.1 Features
This open-source cross-platform program includes several features and improvements:
- Large number of possible input formats such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, AVI, MP4, WMV, OGG, WEBM, MKV, MOV, 3GP, WAV, DivX, FLV or Nut among others

By John Zed
On Tuesday, April 7, 2015
VLC is a free and open-source media player, with it you can play the mayority of video and music files without needing to install separate codecs, since VLC does it for you. It features fully customizable hotkeys that makes very easy to use. It supports internet streaming to listen to online radio stations or watch videos online without the need to download them beforehand, and it lets you create bookmarks for your favorite online radio stations. You can also create basic playlists with the music in your computer.
In addition to the standard playback controls, VLC lets you slowdown the video, watch it frame by frame, adjust brightness, contrast, saturation and gamma, and synchronize audio and video. It also supports subtitles through srt files, which you can customize by changing where they are shown, the color or the font. With VLC you can play DVD videos but the program lacks the ability to play Blu-ray titles.
- No external codecs required to work
- It has excellent playback quality
- It doesn't support Blu-ray discs

Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins highlights things worth reading, in print and online
Listening to Lou Reed: The finale, a timeline and thank you
AP Photo/WNET, Kevin Mazur
Lou Reed performs in concert in 1997.
After Lou Reed died last Oct. 27, I began listening to his albums in chronological order and blogging about them every Friday. Last week, I wrote about "Lulu," the 31st and final album in my series.
As promised, today I'm ranking the albums in my preferred order from best to worst. My story ranking the albums is posted separately on our website for production reasons -- we're publishing it in the printed Journal Sentinel as well as online.
And here's a bonus: JSOnline producer Sara J. Martinez has built an interactive timeline of Lou Reed's solo career that links to all of the posts in this series. Find it at this easy to remember URL: jsonline.com/loureed. If you like it, please pass the link along to your Lou-interested friends. (Thanks for your hard work, Sara -- I know you would rather be making an interactive Justin Timberlake timeline!)
The Listening to Lou Reed series was a labor of love for me. I want to thank a few people whose encouragement keep me listening through "Metal Machine Music" and the other troughs in Lou's roller-coaster body of work. Jim Nelson, Lou Saldivar, Kate Venne (sha la la la, Kate), Shawn Sensiba, Greg Kot, Philip Naylor and Bruce Cole were readers whose interest sustained me each week. Clancy Carroll offered some helpful comments early on that reminded me of the diversity of Lou Reed listening experiences.
As a reader, I enjoy rewinds and reconsideration series. One of my favorites, and one of the inspirations for this series, is Keith R.A. DeCandido's Star Trek rewatch series at Tor.com. If you liked what I did, please note there's a good chance I will return in July with a new musical rewind series. Stay tuned.
Please enjoy the timeline and the final ranking -- add your dissents and preferences in the comments to that story.
I would be a poor friend if I didn't leave you with one last Lou Reed performance:
As part of this blog series, I've compiled a Spotify playlist with my favorite songs from each Reed album. The playlist is embedded at the end of this post.
Previous posts in this series:
'Perfect Night: Live in London' 'Set the Twilight Reeling'

Over all, it wasn't a good ghostbusters game, they knew they screwed up. they should have just made it LEVELS because doing the same thing over and over again is boring.
Also,when you complete the game the spelling is wrong!!! This is what it says!
Conglaturation !!! You have completed a great game. And Prooved the justice of our culture. Now go rest our heroes.
So, this game failed because i love ghostbusters 1 and 2, and can't wait for the 3rd movie comming out in 2012.

The game is hard and boring. Even when you beat the game, you are rewarded with an ending screen full of grammtcal errors and misspellings. So don't even try the game out.

DreamWorks to Remake Japanese Cannes Jury Prize Winner 'Like Father, Like Son'
Hirokazu Kore-eda's family drama caught Steven Spielberg's eye at the Cannes Film Festival this year, where he presided over the jury.
TOKYO – DreamWorks has acquired remake rights to Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda's Like Father, Like Son after the babies-swapped-at-birth story caught the eye of Steven Spielberg at Cannes this year, where it was awarded the Jury Prize.
Spielberg, who was president of the jury at Cannes, has not announced who will direct the U.S. remake. The Japanese film, which stars Masaharu Fukuyama, was produced by Fuji TV, Amuse Inc. and GAGA.

Following Cannes, there was much chatter that DreamWorks could pick up the remake rights to the film, and over the weekend, the two sides made the deal official.
"When I saw the film at Cannes, I was so impressed by its power to bring such a human story to the screen. Here at DreamWorks Studios, [CEO] Stacey [Snider] and our team recognized that it was a story we wanted to remake to bring to our audiences throughout the world," said Spielberg in a statement. "I thank Hirokazu Kore-eda and Fuji TV for giving us this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
