This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 07/902,703 filed Jun. 23, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,281,309.
This invention generally relates to a portable water purifier for purifying and storing drinking water, and more particularly to a purifier positionable on an existing conventional water cooling and dispensing unit.
Concern over drinking water purity and taste have prompted alternative sources of supply other than that supplied by processed tap water. This concern has been fueled by widely publicized reports of water pollution and by tap water often containing large amounts of water treatment chemicals, minerals and other matter.
One attempt to deal with this problem is the increased use of bottled waters. Sales of bottled waters which have increased substantially in recent years generally consists of a single serving to a one gallon container sold in retail establishments, and of larger containers, e.g., 5 gallon containers, sold for use with water cooler dispensers. Bottled cool water dispensers are extremely popular for both residential and commercial use because cold drinking water may be dispensed from generally a three to five gallon bottle without the need for plumbing. However, such bottled waters are expensive, and changing and storing large heavy and cumbersome bottles is burdensome.
Several problems with the quality of bottled waters also have been discovered and publicized in recent years. Bottled waters can readily become contaminated by airborne bacteria and viruses during the dispensing operation by the introduction of ambient air drawn inside the bottle as the water is dispensed. Further, the stagnant storage of bottled water allows bacteria to grow unchecked. Discoveries of dangerous chemicals and extremely high levels of bacteria in bottled waters has led many to the conclusion that bottled water may be no more pure, or sometimes even less pure, than ordinary tap water. Such problems with tap and bottled water have revealed a need and desire for water treatment at the point of use.
Several point of use treatment alternatives exist to tap and bottled water and are well known in the art. One such alternative is the use of carbon filtration. Carbon filters use activated charcoal to remove impurities consisting mostly of organic compounds and to improve the taste of water. Carbon filters, however, are generally ineffective in removing most inorganic compounds such as lead and arsenic.
Another alternative known in the art is the use of reverse osmosis to treat the water. Reverse osmosis units use a sediment prefilter. These units however, have a tendency to become clogged by high levels of hardness minerals and thus are not feasible for some geographic locations. Other problems with reverse osmosis include the waste of approximately 80% of the feedwater, the great expense of replacement membranes and the requirement of pressurized water feed lines and water drain lines which eliminates portability.
Another alternative point of use water treatment method is distillation. Distillation devices purify water by boiling water to generate steam, and then condense the steam to form water free from such contaminants. The contaminants having a vaporization temperature higher than that of water remain in the boiling pot, while solvents which have a boiling point lower than water may be separated from the steam by venting before condensation. The distillation process is more effective in removing impurities than reverse osmosis and does not have the problem of water waste.
Distillation devices may be portable, without the need for pressurized feed lines and drain lines or non-portable which require feed lines to supply water. Distillation alone, however, is relatively ineffective in removing volatile chemicals such as benzene and chlorine.
Existing portable distillers and most non-portable devices have failed to adequately deal with the problem of scale deposits in, and cleaning of, the boiling pot, as for example, the portable distillation device shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,342,623 which has no provision to inhibit scale build-up. Other prior art portable distillation devices have a removable boiling pot, but require partial disassembly of the unit for removal of the boiling pot. Additionally, the known distillation units include a float valve within the boiling pot or tank, such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,943,353 which is thus exposed to the build-up of scale. When excessive scale deposits occur failure of the float valve may result which may cause an overheating situation and a system failure.
Distillation units in the prior art are of the type wherein the water is distilled and captured for subsequent use, such as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,342,623; of the type wherein uncooled water may be dispensed as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,622,102; or of the type wherein the distillation unit is coupled with refrigeration such as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,055,810. As aforesaid, bottled water dispensers are extremely popular. It would thus be advantageous to replace the water bottles of such containers with a less expensive and purer water source such as an efficient distillation unit.
In copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/902,703 filed Jun. 23, 1992, a water purification apparatus is disclosed which is mounted within a housing adapted to be positioned on a conventional water cooler/dispenser. The apparatus includes a valve control member which extends from the housing and is positionable within the water reservoir of the dispenser to control the release of purified water from the apparatus to the reservoir. To provide a compact housing for the water purification apparatus requires a boiler having a small cross section. In order to provide a high energy heating element in the boiler which is necessary for providing sufficient on demand purified water for the unit a boiler with an extended length is normally required to prevent a condition known as carry-over, i.e., where the water in the boiler surges or flash vaporizes upwardly into the condenser coil, a condition which obviously is unsatisfactory. Thus, the height of the boiler disclosed in the aforesaid patent application was extended. This resulted in the height of the housing being greater than desirable. Additionally, in the apparatus disclosed in the aforesaid copending patent application the level of the water within the boiler was controlled by the water level in the feedwater tank which is at an upper portion of the apparatus so that the height of the boiler had to be great enough to prevent water within the boiler from flowing or flashing into the condenser. It is obviously desirable to reduce the height of the boiler so that the height of the entire apparatus may be reduced to provide a compact unit.
Consequently, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide water purification apparatus of a compact size that may be readily mounted on a water cooler dispensing unit to replace bottled water for point of use purification of drinking water.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a water distillation and purification unit having a boiler in which the water level is controlled by a water level control tank separate from the boiler and the feedwater tank so that there are no control elements within the boiling pot exposed to mineral deposits and the height of the boiler may be shortened.
It is another object of the present invention to provide water distillation and purification apparatus positionable on a conventional water cooler dispenser, the apparatus having a valve control member positionable within the water reservoir of the dispenser for shutting the flow of purified distilled water from the apparatus to the dispenser when the desired capacity of the reservoir has been attained and having a boiler constructed such that its height does not extend the overall height of the apparatus.
Accordingly, the present invention provides water distillation and purification apparatus mounted within a housing adapted to be positioned on a conventional water cooler dispenser, the apparatus having a valve control member extending from the housing and positionable within the water reservoir of the dispenser to control the release of purified water from the apparatus to the reservoir of the dispenser. The apparatus includes a feedwater tank into which supply water is fed, either automatically when connected to plumbing, or manually in a batch feed mode, the feedwater tank, when the water is above a minimal predetermined level therein, feeding water to a water level control tank which controls the level of the water in the boiler. The water level control tank controls the flow of raw water from the feedwater tank to the boiler which is thereby maintained at a water level equal to or less than that in the control tank only. As long as the water level in the feedwater tank is above a minimum amount the control tank will be operable and the level of water within the boiler will then be independent of the amount of water in the feedwater tank.
The boiler, in order to have a reduced length while precluding carry-over, and yet operating with a small cross sectional configuration and with a high energy heating element, includes a baffle disposed a small distance above the heating element, the baffle precluding superheated water above the heating element from forming a steam driven water burst which would cause carry-over. This baffle functions together with an upper baffle spaced slightly from the boiler outlet to permit the design of a compact boiler and thus a compact water purifier.
The particular features and advantages of the invention as well as other objects will become apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of water distillation and purification apparatus constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention with portions thereof broken away;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary rear perspective view of a portion of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view of the water distillation and purification system of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is an elevational view in diagrammatic form illustrating the water level control and the baffles within the boiler;
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary elevational view with parts thereof broken away and in section illustrating the mounting of the apparatus of FIG. 1 on a conventional water cooler and dispenser; and
FIG. 6 is a schematic view illustrating the electrical control circuitry of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings a water distillation and purification device 10 constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention Comprises a housing 12 preferably having a substantially rectangular configuration including a base 14 and a plurality of upstanding walls 16, 18, 20 respectively forming a portion of the front and rear walls and a side wall of the housing. Mounted on the base 14 is a distillate or distilled water tank 22, the tank having a height approximately half of that of the upstanding walls. A feedwater tank 24 is mounted on the top of the distillate tank 22 and has its top substantially coplanar with the upper edges of the upstanding walls 16, 18, 20 so that a cover (not illustrated) may be positioned thereon. The tanks 22 and 24 may be integral with or abut upstanding interior walls 26, 28 extending inwardly from the front and rear walls 16, 18 respectively. Exterior surfaces of the tanks 22, 24 may be coplanar with the walls 16 and 18 or otherwise form the remaining portions of the front and rear walls of the housing 12 and also the side remote from the side wall 20. As illustrated in FIG. 3 the feedwater tank 24 may have an opening 30 in its top, normally closed by a fill cap 31, the tank in this case being batch filled with water normally through the opening. Alternatively, the apparatus may be made automatic by connection into plumbing at the location where used, the plumbing being connected to an inlet connector 32 in the side wall 20.
Mounted within the feedwater tank 24, at least for those units which are to be automatically filled, is a float 34, the float being part of a float valve assembly which includes an arm 36 extending from the float to a valve member 38 connected through tubing 40 extending out of the feedwater tank to the inlet connector 32. Thus, when the level of water in the tank 24 reaches a predetermined desired amount, the valve member 38 is actuated to shut the flow of water from the tubing 40 to the tank. As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4, communicating with the feedwater tank 24 through a fitting 42 adjacent the bottom of the tank is a tube 44 which at the end remote from the fitting extends into a small housing or tank 46. The tank 46 has a lower rectangular shaped base portion and a step-shaped cover. Disposed within the base portion is a float 47 connected by an arm 48 to a valve member 49 to shut the flow of water from the feedwater tank 24 through the tube 44 when the level of the water within the tank 46 is at the desired level as illustrated at 50. This water level is equivalent to the desired level of water in the boiler 54 as hereinafter described, the boiler being connected to the tank 46 by means of an outlet tube 52 extending from the tank 46. A check valve 53 is disposed in communication with the tube 52 so that heated water from the boiler is precluded from flowing back from the boiler 54 to the tank 46 while allowing water to flow from the tank 46 to the boiler. Thus, the tank 46 is a water level control tank for the boiler 54 and as long as the valve 49 is open water flows from the feedwater tank 24 through the water level control tank 46 to the boiler 54 since the feedwater tank is at a higher elevation than the water level control tank and the boiler and therefore the water pressure in the feedwater tank is greater than the water pressure in the water level control tank and the boiler.
The boiler 54 is an elongated preferably rectangular shaped housing for ease of fabrication and includes an electrical heating coil 56, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4 mounted therein and supported at one side adjacent the lower end for heating water within the boiler to the boiling point as hereinafter further described. The length of the boiler is such that the upper end is below the feedwater tank or at least not above the top of the feedwater tank so that the housing 12 may be compact in size. The cross sectional dimension of the boiler in a preferred embodiment is in the order of approximately 3 inches by 4 inches and the length of the boiler is in the order of approximately 13 inches, and in order to provide a boiler with a heating element 56 having a high energy capability so that water can boil rapidly, it has been found that a baffle 58 disposed above the level of the heating element 56 is required in addition to a baffle 59 at the top of the boiler just below the boiler outlet 60 in order to preclude carryover due to the turbulence of the boiling water. The baffle 58 is approximately 1 inch above the heating coil 56 so that the steam formed above the coil does not drive a burst of water upwardly through the outlet 60. The baffles 58 and 59 are approximately 2 inch diameter disks.
As illustrated in FIG. 4 the water level within the boiler 54 is controlled by the level of the water in the water level control tank 46. This is effected by communicating the boiler directly with the control tank 46 through the check valve 53. By disposing the control tank 46 at the outlet of the feedwater tank 24 when there is sufficient water in the feedwater tank the level of water in the control tank and the boiler 54 is always above the top of the heating coil 56 so that the boiler will not boil dry. This is readily effected by mounting the feedwater tank 24 at a higher elevation than the control tank within the housing 12 and disposing the float 47 so that the water level within the control tank is above the heating element 56 while shutting off flow when the water in the boiler is approximately at the level of the baffle 58. In this manner the mounting of float valves or other controls within the boiler is avoided and thus there are no control elements within the boiler which could fail due to accumulation of mineral deposits thereon. The level control system is essentially fail-safe, but an overflow drain line 55 is provided in the control tank 46 in the event the valve 49 should fail so that the overfilling of the boiler is precluded. Additionally, as clearly illustrated in FIG. 4, the water pressure within the feed water tank is always greater than the water pressure within the tank 46 so that water from the tank 24 can flow into the housing 46 until the float 47 and its valve 49 shut the flow. Heated water from the boiler is precluded from flowing into the control tank by means of the check valve 53.
The boiler 54 is constructed from a non-corrosive material such as stainless steel and is covered about the major vertical portion thereof externally by insulation 61 held thereon by clamps 62. A rod 63 connects the baffles 58 and 59 together and to external connecting members 64 at the upper and lower ends of the boiler. A U-shape tube 70 has one end secured to the outlet 60 of the boiler and its other end connected to the inlet coupling 72 of a condenser coil 74. The condenser is coiled about an air flow circulation globe 76 disposed in spaced relationship thereto so that air may flow between the coils and the globe, the coils and globe being mounted on one or more brackets 78 extending across the housing 12. Disposed beneath the coils 74 on another mounting bracket 80 carried by the bracket 78 is a fan 82 and fan motor 84 which supplies cooling air upwardly between the coil s 74 and globe 76 to condense the steam flowing through the coils into distilled water. Additionally any cooling air escaping about the coils merely acts to preheat the water in the feedwater tank.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the distilled water exiting from the condenser flows out of the apparatus through tubing 86 into a carbon or activated charcoal filter 88 where the distilled water is further purified of any remaining organic compounds and where the normally flat taste of distilled water is substantially improved. The filter 88 is on the exterior of the distillation apparatus so that replacement may readily occur without disassembly of the apparatus. The distilled and purified water thereafter may flow through the filter 88 through tubing 90 and back into the apparatus through other tubing 92 which opens into the distillate storage tank 22.
Mounted in the inner wall 28 of the housing 12 and extending into the distillate tank 22 adjacent the bottom thereof is a fitting 94 communicating the interior of the tank 22 with one end of a tube 96 disposed externally of the tank, the other end of the tube being connected to a float control valve member 98. The valve member is part of an assembly which includes an arm 100 connecting a float 102 to the valve member. When the float is raised to a predetermined position the valve is closed and the flow of water from within the tank 22 through the tube to the valve is shut. Disposed about the valve 98, the arm 100 and the float 102 and extending downwardly from the apparatus below the base 14 is an annular guard 104. Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the water purification device 10 may be positioned upon a conventional bottled water cooling and dispensing unit 106 when the water bottle is removed, and the guard 104 is received within the top cabinet ring 108 of the unit 104 with the float 102 disposed within the water plenum or reservoir 110 of the unit. The water level within the plenum 110 of the cooler and dispensing unit thus effects the operation of the valve 98 and the flow of water from the tank 22 to the cooler and dispensing unit 106.
Disposed within the wall 28 and extending into an upper portion of the distillation tank 22 is another fitting 112 which is connected to one end of a tube 114. The other end of the tube 114 communicates with one leg of a Y-connector 116 having a downwardly extending tube 118 connected to another leg, the tube 118 extending through the base and opening within the interior of the guard 104. The third leg of the connector 116 communicates with a tube 120 which, as illustrated in FIG. 2, extends out the wall 20 where it is connected to an air filter 122 which traps air-borne bacteria.
A drain is provided for the boiler 54 by connecting the lower end of the boiler to one end of a tube 124 which is directed to a push button valve 126 which extends through the wall 18 so as to be manually adjustable from outside the water purification unit. When maintenance of the boiler is required, as for example when the boiler is cleaned with cleaning fluids and then flushed, the valve 126 may be opened to drain the fluid and flushing water from the boiler.
Mounted in the wall 26 and extending into the feedwater tank 24 at a selected disposition to provide a low level signal is a level float switch 130, while a similar switch 132 extends through the wall 26 into the distillate tank 22 at an upper disposition therein. The switch 130 provides a low level stop to prevent the boiler from operating when the water level within the feedwater tank 24 is below the selected level so that the feedwater tank and thus the boiler is sufficiently full, while the switch 132 provides a high level stop to prevent operation of the boiler when the water level within the distillate tank 22 reaches a predetermined stop level. Thus, overheating of the boiler is precluded through the switch 130 while energy waste is minimized through the switch 132. The apparatus also includes a 24 hour timer 134 mounted on the front for selecting the times within which the boiler may operate, such as at night in the summer to reduce the heat load in the room in which the purification apparatus is located. The apparatus also includes a thermostat, as illustrated in FIG. 6, in the control circuitry to ensure that the boiler does not overheat should a control failure occur and should insufficient water be supplied to keep the temperature below a maximum limit, such as 250� F.
The operation of the boiler is controlled by the circuit illustrated in FIG. 6. As aforesaid the water level in the feedwater tank 24 must be above the level float switch 130 and the water level in the distillate tank 22 must be below the level float switch 132 for the boiler heating coil 56 to be energized. Additionally the timer 134 must be energized and the thermostat 136 must be closed, i.e., the temperature in the boiler must be below the preselected shut-off temperature. With these conditions satisfied, the normally opened contacts 134-1 of the timer will close to energize the coil of a relay 138 mounted in series with the thermostat 136 and the switches 130, 132. Energizing the relay closes its normally open contacts 138-1 to energize both the heater coil 56 and the fan motor 84 which together are connected in series with the contacts 138-1. If the timer is not energized, its contacts 134-1 remain open so that the relay cannot be energized and neither can the heater and fan. Opening of either of the switches 130, 132 or an over temperature condition opening the thermostat contacts also precludes energizing the relay 138 and thus the heating coil and fan.
Numerous alterations of the structure herein disclosed will suggest themselves to those skilled in the art. However, it is to be understood that the present disclosure relates to the preferred embodiment of the invention which is for purposes of illustration only and not to be construed as a limitation of the invention. All such modifications which do not depart from the spirit of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.

Information and data is also available on FEMA's website detailing New York state's mapping changes at www.rampp-team.com/ny.htm.
FEMA contracted with the state Department of Environmental Conservation to revise Albany County's flood maps. The Spotlight made multiple inquiries to the DEC seeking information and comment on the revision process, but representatives did not return calls for comment or respond to written questions.
Local officials are keeping an eye on the process, however. Joseph Slezak, field manager of Albany County Soil & Water Conservation District, said the maps can be used to pinpoint areas needing flood mitigation. Once the maps are finalized, he said they would be analyzed closely.
"In general, every spot changed a little bit. The low lying flat areas have changed a little more," Slezak said. "We are sort of learning about the changes ourselves right now."
New Scotland Building Inspector Jeremy Cramer said the general areas within the flood maps are the same for that town, but the biggest difference is the new maps show the depth of areas.
"Showing the depth will help if something was to be built within the flood plain," Cramer said. "I haven't seen any concerns, I think they are pretty self explanatory. … The general flood prone areas remain the same."
Town of Coeymans Building Inspector Laverne Conrad did have some concerns with the revised maps, but he agreed "nothing major" has changed. Conrad said areas along Coeymans Creek are being added to the flood map, but he has problems with an area along Route 9W near the Greene County border being added.
"We have a couple of properties in the commercial district that are going to be affected by it, but quite honestly that is a bogus flood plain," Conrad said. "We have mentioned it to (FEMA) and said something is not right."

The Hawks lost again to the same team that gave Chicago a thumping like no other last Thursday. The Columbus Blue Jackets are playing a lot like the team they were last year it seems but are they? Or are the Hawks just a team surrounded by mediocrity, debate and mass confusion along with the inability to do much of anything good these days? There were no excuses for Chicago to lose this game wh...

not that its of any importance, especially because im not to familiar with him, but Justin James( pitcher we recieved in trading bucky coats to blue jays.) is also a starter available in triple A.

"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
I would suspect Justin Lehr needs to be considered as one of the starters at Louisville. He and Jon Adkins will both likely be on that pitching staff.
In Justin Lehrs 66 games in the majors and Jon Adkins 115 neither have ever started a game once. Yes they may accept a minor league assignment after being cut from spring training but its unlikely either will be starting their.
Neither Lehr nor Adkins are on the 40 Man roster. They are on minor league contracts. Therefore they will not be cut if they fail to make the major league roster, they will just be reassigned to a minor league team. They have no option to refuse the assignment.
The lowest acceptable payroll amount for ownership to show they are not greedy pigs is 15 million more than they are currently paying. No matter what that currently is.
Most of Lehr's work in the minor leagues over the last three seasons has been as a starter. He just finished starting in the Mexican League this fall; his last five outings, by the way, were very impressive. I neve said anything about Adkins starting at Louisville; it seems to me, if he sticks, he's very likely to be on the staff at Louisville. Herrera's been acquired since; maybe that changes things. Lehr, I'd suggest, has a good chance to be somebody who gives starting innings there until Fisher or Lecure is ready for promotion from AA.
Here is what I have:
Harang, Arroyo, Belisle, Fogg, Volquez
pen: Cordero, Weathers, Burton, Affeldt, Bray, Coffey, Majewski
Bailey, Cueto, Maloney, Shearn, Livingston
pen: Roenicke, Mercker, Sauerbeck, McBeth, Coutlangus, Brower, Lincoln
Gardner, Lecure, Thompson, Fisher, Smit
pen: Viola, Watson, Ramirez, Salmon, Pelland, Kelly
High A:
Wood, Lotzkar, Ravin, Jukich, Smith
pen: Lutz, Hildenbrandt, Carroll, Valiquette
Lotzkar in High-A? No way. Kid just turned 18 a few months ago and only has 30 or so professional innings under his belt. He should begin the year at Dayton, and that's probably pushing it a bit. Also, Gardner and Fisher should be at AAA Louisville IMO.
Ravin too. He's no closer than Lotzkar.
Yeah I completely missed Ravin.
Brad Salmon, Tyler Pelland, and Ramon Ramirez in AA? That's a demotion from where they were to end the 2007 season. All three should start in Louisville, and the same could possibly be said for Viola, though it wouldn't shock me if he were back in AA.
I am pretty much an amateur when it comes to minor league ball, so there is definitely room for error on my part. Pretty much, I am trying to figure out the rotations at each level but figured it gets too difficult once you get down to low A and below.
Thanks for the heads up fellas. How would you envision Sarasota's rotation then? And if you have Fisher and Gardner in Louisville, do you put Livingston and Shearn in Chattanooga?
Last edited by David Cubbedge; 02-21-2008 at 10:44 PM.
My best guess for the Sarasota rotation is:
Travis Wood
Jordan Smith
Scott Carroll
Travis Webb
Rafael Gonzalez
Sean Watson
Sam Lecure
Alexander Smit
Daryl Thompson
Ben Jukich
Homer Bailey
Johnny Cueto
Matt Maloney
Carlos Fisher
Richie Gardner
Kyle Lotzkar
Juan Rafael
Josh Ravin
Tzu-Kai Chiu
Philippe-Alexandre Valiquette
Livingston is not going to be around to start the season...
I think you have too many vets that got invites to spring in the AAA bullpen but...
I haven't been following minor league baseball for very long so maybe some of the vets can help me out: Is that one of the best AAA rotations you have ever seen?

Aiken's Toys for Tots campaign will hold its second Christmas party on Monday, Dec. 20 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at Willcox Inn.The party, which will also serve as a toy drop-off location, will include Santa, Christmas music and a lobby full of revelers, and local photographer Todd Lista will be present to take children's and family's pictures with Santa.At 5:30 p.m., guests will be invited to gather around the piano and sing Christmas carols. Song sheets will be available for all who wish to participate.Toys for Tots, a mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, was started in 1947 as an effort to provide needy children with Christmas gifts, but Lane Parker, lead coordinator of the Marine Corps League Detachment 939, said it was just last year that Aiken began a campaign of its own."We were working with a Marine reserve in Augusta, but it began to be a hassle transporting the toys back and forth, so we registered with the National Toys for Tots Foundation to break out and hold a campaign of our own," he explained.Last year, the Aiken campaign raised $4,500 and collected more than 12,000 toys for needy children in Aiken County.More than 100 toy drop boxes are located at various businesses throughout Aiken County, where any type of toy for any age and gender is accepted. Toys must be new and still in the packaging, said Parker.When donation boxes are full, they are transported to a warehouse in Aiken and sorted out by volunteers."This is a very arduous task which takes a lot of volunteers to sort all these toys," said Parker. "You basically have to handle each toy one by one."When all toys are collected and sorted, the Marine Corps League members work with the Salvation Army to decide which gender and age group may be lacking, at which point they use the funds raised to purchase toys for the remaining group of children."That way it ensures that everybody gets something geared toward their age group," Parker explained.Parker said he is pleased with how many donations they have received, and the children will begin receiving these toys around Dec. 21."We live in a good community, and people are really receptive to this, and they do all they can do," Parker said. "This isn't the best of times as far as for people to be generous, but they are. And it's just great that people do that."For more information on how you can help the Toys for Tots Campaign in Aiken, call Parker at 644-8300 or e-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I bought the shampoo and conditioner in super large bottles (with a pump) for 30$ I have never tried this before, and knew the hype on this, so blindly purchased. HOLY MOLY this stuff is wonderful! I have super thick, long, highlighted blonde hair and this makes it sooooooo shiny and smells so sweet. Reminds me a lot of nexxus in the pink bottle, but doesn't make my scalp itch like nexxus formula. I have really sensitive scalp, and I almost thought this shampoo would be too heavy, but it's wonderful.
The packaging is cute, large purple bottle with a pump, i think it's awesome. This product is super expensive if you can't snag it on sale though, close to 17$ per 8oz of product, if I'm not mistaken. This definitely does deserve more than 3.1 lippies!!
I've been using this for about a month and a half, and I've noticed it makes my highlights "pearly" that beautiful glow, shiny, I just love how good this product is. I've found that it doesn't do much for brassy hair though, I think the gist of this product was designed to fill the protein in where it's lacking, due to being bleached/colored. When our hair is broken or split, it's because the chemicals have robbed our strands of the protein that makes up our hair, and this shampoo was designed to sort of "fill in" what protein is missing, causing the hair to appear healthy and shiny. Bottom line here, I will repurchase for years to come, this is magic!

I bought this product on clearence for $5 and I was really excited about it... until I went online and read the reviews, but I thought I would go ahead and give it a chance anyway. I've used it a couple times and it is amazing! I have really platinum hair and it makes it very shiny and soft and it smells sooo sweet and yummy. It lathers up unlike any shampoo I've ever used and my hair feels really clean. I was only disappointed because I assumed this was a purple shampoo but the formula is actually light pink. Other than that I've had no issues with it and I love it.

I love this shampoo. I use the conditioner as well. I have coarse curly thick straw like hair. But this makes it feel nice. Not drying at all.
Maybe its no good for fine hair, its a thick creamy shampoo. I love the rich purple colour and it feels nice in my hands. Just love it all round.

Favorite shampoo! Whenever I highlighted my hair I loved the immediate color, but then it faded a few days later and the color looked dull and lifeless. But after using this shampoo it brightened my hair right up! It has a thick lather and leaves my hair moisturized. I looove the smell too. However, I'm not a fan of the conditioner. After I dried my hair, it felt sticky, like I didn't wash out all the conditioner (which I thought was the case). But I tried it a second time and got the same results. I think the shampoo is fantastic for any type of blonde!

Ladies, this shampoo has protein in it and not intended to be used daily!! Having said that, I LOVE this product!! I use it about once a week, and the next week I use a clarifying shampoo (neutrogena is best) and it really balances my hair!!! This shampoo cleans,refreshes my scalp,and brightens my blonde locks !!! It smells amazing!!! I little pricey , but lasts a long time!!!

WHATS WITH ALL THE BAD REVIEWS? This stuff is EPIC ! I've been using this for years probably 5 or 6 years on and off... I have been dying my hair black for 10 years and have meduim length hair, my ends get really dry and damaged and I blow dry and flat iron very 2-3 days, having said that: THIS STUFF SAVES ME!!! This shampoo and conditioner make my hair like shiny black silk! It's super cleansing but never strips my colour and the conditioner leaves my hair soft and strong! Here's where I think people are making the mistake: this shampoo and conditioner is for hair thy damaged or broken so it had proteins that rebuild the shaft and heal the hair, so if you use it too often anything with proteins causes and build up!!!!! Making the hair dull and sticky and also can make it seem straw like. Sooooooo only use the conditioner Everyother time you shampoo orrrr use something that's more appropriate for you, ask your stylist!!!

They changed the formula :(
I used to really love this stuff but now the packaging seems to have changed. It's white with paint splattered all over. Ok so firstly I have to say I really do love the scent still. The performance really isn't great though. I can get away with washing my hair every other day but this is not good it made my hair limp and flat by the second day. Doesn't have the wow factor and is expensive. I usually love bed head but they have disappointed with this one. Not good. What a let down!

Truly Awful Product.
I bought the shampoo & conditioner for the first time , expecting fantastic results! I was excited to use it.. It smells lush! But I was ultra disappointed with the result. I have long fine coloured hair.. My hair was left difficult to comb.. Tangled and lifeless. When my hair dried it was dull, dry and felt dirty.
I used one more time using little less product.. But the results were still the same.. Couldn't wait until next morning to wash this product out with a different shampoo and conditioner. I won't be using dumb blonde ever again! I'm left feeling kinda dumb for buying it 😏
I feel my hair needs some very good repairing treatment to regain my a healthy feeling after using this product.

No no no no. DON'T BUY THIS. I have fine, highlighted, straight hair, so I thought this would be a good purchase. I was using in conjunction with Ion protein conditioner, so I thought this would be an awesome idea. Spoiler alert: it wasn't.
My hair kept getting increasingly dry and brittle, was falling out, and breaking at every turn. My hair literally felt like straw. I was losing so much hair, I thought something was medically wrong. I would like to reiterate at this point how dry my hair was. It was really dry. Also. My hair was dry.
I thought I was getting too much protein from the conditioner (same symptoms), so I quit using both for about a month. At this time, I decided to give just the shampoo a try again. One wash was enough to make me regret that. Dry dry dry. Breaking, nasty feeling, and dry.
I honestly have no idea why, Tigi is a decent brand, and this stuff is made for color-treated hair. Perhaps the "pH Balancing" which it claims to accomplish really just screws everything up. I don't know. But I am scared to try this ever again, it gives me nightmares, and now I'm actually afraid of a hygiene product. Great.
But seriously, goodness, do NOT buy this. It sucks, it's drying and stripping, makes your hair feel like straw, and it scares me. Don't do it. :O

- Biogeographic Regions
- australian
Stubble quail inhabit a variety of temperate, terrestrial environments including agricultural areas and well-drained plains (Johnsgard, 1988; Alderton, 1992). The availability of water is a determinant of their habitat preference (Alderton, 1992). (Alderton, 1992; Johnsgard, 1988)

Physical Description
Stubble quail are 17.5 cm in length (Alderton, 1992) and weigh 99 to 128 g. Adult wing and tail lengths are 104 to 117 mm and 38 to 46 mm, respectively (Johnsgard, 1988).
Males and females are dark brown above with vertical buff streaking. The breast and abdomen are buff with brown to black streaking on the females' breast and heavier streaking and a black patch on males. Both males and females have white eye stripes topped with a thin dark brownish to black stripe. The crown is dark brown for both sexes. The throat and sides of the head are a tawny brown on males and a light brown on females (Alderton, 1992). (Alderton, 1992; Johnsgard, 1988)

These quail are nomadic. They travel in coveys of approximately 20 individuals from site to site, depending on the availability of food and water. If conditions are favorable, they may reside in one area for an extended period of time and breed repeatedly (Johnsgard, 1988; Alderton, 1992). (Alderton, 1992; Johnsgard, 1988)
Home Range
Ringed birds are known to have traveled 1300 km. With increased irrigation, these mobile quail have increased their range in Australia (Johnsgard, 1988). (Johnsgard, 1988)
Communication and Perception
The male utters a whistled, three-note or four-note advertisement call given as "chuch-ee-whit" or "chip-a-terweet." In addition, sometimes a sharp two-note "to-weep" is uttered. These quail will abruptly flush and land with a loud whirring of their wings (Johnsgard, 1988). (Johnsgard, 1988)
- Communication Channels
- acoustic
Food Habits
Stubble quail are chiefly seed eaters (Alderton, 1992). They prefer seeds of cultivated cereals, grasses, and weeds. They also consume leafy materials and a very small number of insects (Johnsgard, 1988). (Alderton, 1992; Johnsgard, 1988)

Horizontal streaking with S-video

Join Date: Jul 2005

Horizontal streaking with S-video
I have a 3.2GHz Intel P4 on an ASUS P5P800 SE motherboard.
The video card is a BFG6800 GT. OS is Fedora Core 5, patched
and updated as nvnews suggests.
I have used this to drive a Gateway FPD2185W 21 inch monitor
and used mythtv and mplayer alone with success at 1680x1050 resolution
using a DVI cable.
I am having difficulty in using an S-video cable to drive a
JVC56G787 rear projection television. I get very pronounced horizontal
streaking with the slightest motion in the picture (such as hand movement
or walking). The movement of a camera across a lined sports field is painful
to watch. The compiled Nvidia driver rejected all modes in xorg.conf and used
a default which was 1024x768. I ran
the open source nv driver and it producted three modeline:
(II) NV(0): Modeline "800x600" 40.00 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 +hsync +vsync
(II) NV(0): Modeline "640x480" 25.20 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -hsync -vsync
(II) NV(0): Modeline "800x600" 36.00 800 824 896 1024 600 601 603 625 +hsync +vsync
(the nv driver produced horizontal streaking as well).
Importing these into my xorg.conf file did not change things other than these modes
are detected as valid by the nvidia driver. I can take mythtv recordings and
play them back with the DVI cable and 21 inch monitor and it is excellent.
The application system-config-display chose the VESA video driver and a
HorizSync of 31.5 - 37.9 which seems quite low. However the VESA driver does not
have any streaking (other than normal with fast action). It is however green tinted
with burnt orange appearing green and yellow icons green as well.
nvidia-settings when saved had this same color affect when the GUI closed ( as user mythtv), but not
when executed by another non root user.
Can someone tell me why my colors go green tinted with the VESA driver (or nvidia-settings as
user mythtv)? Is there a guess as to the cause of horizontal streaking in the nvidia driver?
I have tried NvAGP and AGPGART as well as many other settings. Should I be looking the setting
on the JVC set? I have tried turning many things off but only made the picture worse. I have
an amateur guess that the HorizSync values may be a problem but am not knowledgable enough
to be able to check this out (fear damaging the set as well). Thanks for you time.

Still other critics are baffled that Borges was influenced by such strange and disparate sources.
The so-called moderate opposition—made up of hundreds of disparate groups—is often immoderate and rarely cohesive.
This is a clash of two acting titans as well as two disparate personalities, and I found it thoroughly engrossing.

Modern and Functional
Katherine from Madison, WI – Verified Buyer
I bought this as a desk chair for our "office space." I liked that it didn't have wheels as we have bamboo hardwoods and I didn't want to have to spend more on a floor cover. We had some difficulty with the screws not being the appropriate size but it has functioned fine for our purposes. Pros: Good value, modern, sleek, easily (enough) assembled Cons: screws do not fit
Fairly comfortable and looks nice
Bryan from Kansas
I put them together and they are in my office. They went together ok. But where the back attaches to the cushion, I could only get 3 screws in and they would only go halfway. I couldn't get the holes to line up with the screws. They are fairly comfortable, looks nice and no issues. I would rate them higher if the screws with the assembly worked like they should.
Great chair!
Rose Wilson from Cleveland, OH
We love these chairs. We are using them as guest chairs and our patients love them too. The wide seat and arms provide comfort for everyone. These are a great value for the price.
easy to clean and comfortable to sit on
caregiver one from Detroit area, MI – Verified Buyer
I have an adult care business in my own home and have bought these chairs to use in the kitchen area. They are constantly used; either for games, eating, or just sitting and talking. Everyone enjoys them and says how comfortable they are. The only thing that I would say negative about them is that they are bulky (heavy), don't have rollers and are harder to move. I did buy them specifically for that reason -- because I didn't want the chairs to roll away. Also, once in a while, the chairs need to be adjusted (height adjuster on back legs bottom).
Great for our waiting room
Nick from Harriman NY
These chairs worked perfectly for our auto spa's waiting area. Customers actually comment on how comfortable they are. We've only had them for a few days so can't comment on longevity but they feel sturdy. We're very happy.
Customers are lovin it!
Rob P. from Bristol, CT – Verified Buyer
Our Customers love this chair! We use it as our client chairs in our salon and every hour of the day. They stand up to a lot of abuse. Wide enough to accommodate some larger heavyset people too.
good value for guest chair
USAustin from Austin, Texas – Verified Buyer
overall pretty satisfied. you have to follow instructions closely, especially the part about not tightening any screws until fully assembled. These chairs do not adjust for uneven fit or floors but for the most part they are fine as is. Very sturdy and seem capable of holding very heavy guests.
I would buy this product again.
Sheli the shopper from Allentown, PA – Verified Buyer
Haven't found anything I didn't like. Sturdy so far.
I am very satisfied with this purchase.

4G Speeds From T-Mobile Now Broadly Available in the Northeastern U.S. and Other Major Cities
T-Mobile Deepens, Expands Mobile Broadband Network to More Places on More Leading Devices
BELLEVUE, Wash. - May 24, 2010 - T-Mobile USA, Inc. announced today the continued expansion and customer availability of its HSPA+ super-fast mobile broadband network that delivers 4G speeds in the Northeastern U.S. and other major cities across the country.
As the company continues to aggressively broaden its HSPA+ network in the New York City metropolitan area, including New Jersey and Long Island, T-Mobile announces the further build-out and widespread availability - right now - of its super-fast network in adjoining regions, including Upstate New York (Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse), Connecticut (Hartford, New Haven, Milford and Stamford) and Providence, R.I. Already live in Philadelphia, as well the Washington, D.C. suburbs, T-Mobile's HSPA+ network will expand into Boston and Washington, D.C. in the coming weeks, further enhancing the Northeast corridor with 4G speeds.
In addition, customers in Memphis, Tenn., and Las Vegas, also now can stay connected on T-Mobile's high-speed mobile broadband network.
Using the HSPA+ wireless technology standard, the T-Mobile network currently delivers theoretical peak download speeds of 21Mbps1. T-Mobile's rapidly expanding HSPA+ mobile broadband footprint makes it easy for customers to enjoy 4G speeds2 on existing mobile broadband devices such as the T-Mobile webConnect™ Rocket™ Laptop Stick. In addition, more than a dozen released T-Mobile devices benefit from these enhanced speeds, with two high-performance smartphones available next month - the T-Mobile® myTouch 3G Slide™ and the Garminfone™.
T-Mobile's HSPA+ mobile broadband network now covers more than 30 million Americans. With an aggressive build-out plan, T-Mobile expects to make further significant leaps in the coming weeks and months to deliver 4G speeds in 100 major metropolitan areas, covering 185 million people in the U.S. by the end of this year.
T-Mobile customers with 3G smartphones who live in these areas served by the company's mobile broadband network are now getting enhanced data speeds without having to buy a new phone or spend additional money. Now, these customers can surf the Web, download files and share media on-the-go - many times faster on home-broadband-like speeds.
"Our competitors are asking consumers to pay more for faster wireless service with limited coverage and very few capable devices," said Neville Ray, senior vice president of Engineering and Operations for T-Mobile USA. "In contrast, T-Mobile is already delivering 4G speeds today to customers and we continue to make major leaps in expanding our HSPA+ mobile broadband footprint."
T-Mobile's next-generation network can provide consumers with a home-broadband-like experience on-the-go. T-Mobile currently has 5.2 million customers using 3G-capable converged devices on the network, a 33 percent increase in smartphone adoption since the end of 2009 and expects to increase that number to 8 million by the end of the year.
