Lovely series of books,
This review is from: How To Train Your Dragon: 5: How to Twist a Dragon's Tale (Paperback)
My ten-year old son loves the books. I've read a couple and find them well-written and amusing. The stories are fast-paced, exciting and have lots of cliff-hangers. The central character is Hiccup, an unlikely boy hero who owns a dragon called Toothless. Toothless is even more of an unlikely hero but somehow the two of them, through a combination of brains and luck, always triumph.

*In comments Saturday billed as a message to the American public, "Ray Donovan" actor Jon Voight aired his political grievances for several minutes in a televised statement, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Those grievances range from (but are not limited to) Benghazi, the IRS scandal, the "targeting" of conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, illegal immigration, the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court case, the treatment of war veterans, the chaos in Iraq and deep reservations about President Obama.
"Five years ago, I stated that Obama would take the country apart piece-by-piece, that he would cause a civil war in this country," Voight read on Saturday in a statement on Mike Huckabee's Fox News show. "In hindsight we can see how many things have come to pass."
"Let us remember, let us not forget Benghazi," he continued. "Let us not say what difference does it make. Obama found a perfect way to put this under the rug, blaming Republicans, saying that they just want to find fault with his administration. And still to this day we still not know the truth."
Voight, the father of Angelina Jolie, has long been outspoken about his conservative-leaning political beliefs. During his Fox News appearance, he also singled out the Democratic Party on social issues.
"The Democrat party has become a very negative force … it's more socialist in their thinking, and they've given young women the wrong ideas about what democracy really is," he said.
"[Congresswoman] Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the gang leader for all the wrong information to our young women," Voight said, "Convincing them that Republicans are stopping their liberties and freedoms of reproduction when the truth is, as the Supreme Court upheld, that religious freedoms are being infringed upon."

Health & Safety
Indiana authorities are investigating the death of a bridge construction worker who was apparently crushed by a piece of equipment last Monday.
It was the second employee death in two weeks for Chicago-based Walsh Construction Group and the second recent Walsh bridge project to attract the attention of safety authorities.
Investigations Launched
Authorities said Roger Lee Cox, 50, of Austin, IN, was found unconscious April 30 at a construction site on the Milton-Madison Bridge, which carries US 421 over the Ohio River between Milton, KY, and Madison, IN. The 83-year-old bridge is being replaced.
Cox was taken by ambulance to Kings Daughters Hospital in Madison, IN, and then airlifted to University Hospital in Louisville, KY. He was taken off life support Thursday (May 3) and died the same day.
Details were few. Police said Cox had been working from a bucket when he was pinned between the bucket and the object he was working on, but it was not clear exactly what type of equipment he was using or what he was working on at the time.
The Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Walsh Construction were investigating the accident.
IOSHA does not release details while investigations are underway; Walsh did not respond Monday (May 7) to a request for comment.
Other Project, Death Probed
Fox's death occurred one week after work resumed on another Walsh bridge project that has been plagued by accidents.
In that case, work was suspended for a week on Connecticut's Moses Wheeler Bridge while contractor employees attended safety classes. Connecticut's DOT ordered the stoppage after a crane collapsed at the site, leaving a worker with broken ribs and a concussion—the fourth accident on the $230 million project in several months.
The Moses Wheeler project has been ahead of schedule, and state authorities questioned whether worker fatigue had contributed to the accidents. Walsh says they did not, and those crews continue to work 10 hours on weekdays and eight hours on Saturdays.
Work is also proceeding quickly on the Milton-Madison Bridge. The bridge was supposed to be shut down for five days in April to demolish approach spans, but crews working around the clock finished the job in just three days and the bridge reopened ahead of schedule.
In a separate incident, a highway worker employed by Walsh's office in Crown Point, IN, was fatally struck by an excavator April 16 at a work site in Northeast Indianapolis. David Anderson, 33, was pinned against concrete barriers that he was placing near a highway ramp, authorities said. Police believe the excavator's operator lost track of where Anderson was standing when he moved the vehicle. That accident is also under investigation.
Milton-Madison Bridge
The Milton-Madison project involves project contractor Walsh and design firms Burgess & Niple Engineers of Columbus, OH, and Buckland and Taylor Ltd. of North Vancouver, BC.
Construction on the $131 million project began in early 2011. A new, 2,400-foot-long steel truss bridge will be built on temporary piers, then slid into place on top of the existing piers, which are being strengthened to meet modern standards, project officials say. Once complete, the new, wider bridge will lie within the footprint of the original bridge, which opened in 1929.

Wednesday, 26 Dec 2012 05:29 PM
Toyota Motor Corp. has reached a settlement worth more than $1 billion in a case involving hundreds of lawsuits over acceleration problems in its vehicles.
The company said in a statement on Wednesday that the deal will resolve cases involving motorists who said the value of their vehicles was adversely affected by previous recalls stemming from sudden acceleration problems.
Lawyer Steve Berman, a plaintiffs' attorney, said the settlement is the largest settlement in U.S. history involving automobile defects.
"We kept fighting and fighting and we secured what we think was a good settlement given the risks of this litigation," Berman told The Associated Press.
The proposed deal was filed Wednesday and must receive the approval of a federal judge.
As part of the settlement, Toyota said it will offer cash payments to eligible customers who sold or turned in their leased vehicles between September 2009 and December 2010.
The Japanese automaker also will launch a program to provide supplemental warranty coverage for certain vehicle components, and it will retrofit additional non-hybrid vehicle models that are subject to a floor mat recall with a free brake override system.
The settlement would also establish additional driver education programs and fund new research into advanced safety technologies.
"In keeping with our core principles, we have structured this agreement in ways that work to put our customers first and demonstrate that they can count on Toyota to stand behind our vehicles," said Christopher Reynolds, Toyota vice president and general counsel.
Toyota has recalled more than 14 million vehicles worldwide due to acceleration problems in several models and brake defects with the Prius hybrid. Toyota has blamed driver error, faulty floor mats and sticky accelerator pedals for the unintended acceleration.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
28 Dec 2010 00:52 GMT | Sport, Football, United Kingdom
Chelsea's worrying slump turned into a full-blown crisis when the Premier League champions were comfortably beaten 3-1 by Arsenal at The Emirates on Monday.
Goals from Alex Song, Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott in a nine-minute spell either side of halftime condemned Carlo Ancelotti's team to another defeat and they have now managed just six points from the last 24 on offer.
Branislav Ivanovic replied for the visitors but the damage was already done as Arsenal ended a run of five consecutive defeats against their London rivals to reclaim second place in the table above Manchester City on goal difference.
"The win had a double impact. First of all it keeps us in touch with the leaders and, secondly, it is the
pyschological impact because we were questioned about our ability to win big games," Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, told reporters.
"We know that to beat the big teams at home will have an important impact on the league [title race]."
Arsenal have moved to 35 points from 18 games with unbeaten leaders Manchester United on 37, having played a game less. Chelsea, who started the season in scintillating form but have forgotten how to win, remain in fourth place on 31.
Defeat means Chelsea are 10 points worse off than at this stage last season with their title chances disappearing fast.
Sunday matches
Top of the Premier League, still unbeaten and starting to play with their familiar swagger, Manchester United's season could be about to get even better with Wayne Rooney rediscovering his spark.
The England striker did not score in the 2-0 victory over Sunderland on Sunday, but as United prepare for their trip to Birmingham City on Tuesday, there are signs that Rooney is emerging from the worst slump of his career.
To have established themselves so firmly at the top of the league despite Rooney scoring just once in the league this season is a testament to United's strength in depth and their defensive solidity.
Manchester City are emerging as a genuine title threat, having bounced back from their home defeat by Everton to beat Newcastle United 3-1 on Sunday.
Tottenham Hotspur complete the top five after a 2-1 victory at Aston Villa on Sunday and are on a nine-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
With a home game against Newcastle on Tuesday followed by the visit of Fulham on New Year's Day, Harry Redknapp's side could enter the second half of the season in the mix for a "top four" slot or better.
West Ham United's under-fire Avram Grant and Wigan Athletic's Roberto Martinez both enjoyed three points on Sunday but know survival will need a run of decent results.
Grant's Hammers host Everton on Tuesday when victory could take them out of the bottom three while Wigan host Arsenal on Wednesday.
Free-falling Fulham go to Stoke City while Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are now bottom after losing to Wigan, face Liverpool away on Wednesday.

Joe Paterno is determined to be the greatest coach in college football history, to never retire. The soon to be 84-year-old recently promised a recruit he would remain as Penn State head coach for five or six more years. He probably believes it. Nittany Lions fans can look forward to five or six more years of aborted radio interviews, press conferences in extremis and virile, alumnus coaches such being swept up by other programs. Joe Paterno is a legend, despite being in the "Leaders" division. We all love the guy, but keeping the program he built in stasis is just egotism. He has earned the right to decide his own departure, and has no intention to exercise that right responsibly.

The world can come crashing down on a bowler if the format is Twenty20. With their willow wielding opponents ever eager to cart them to the fence, it can breed haplessness on most occasions.
But one team in the Pepsi Indian Premier League has proved to be consistently defiant and successful against the batsmen's onslaught -- SunRisers Hyderabad.
With even 180- plus scores not ensuring a win ( KXIP vs PW, CSK vs RR), this team has defended sub- 130 totals on a number of occasions. Sunrisers' bowling coach Waqar Younis feels it's the variety in their arsenal that has helped them make a fight out of low totals.
"Let me start with one basic fact, we have world- class bowlers. And to add to it we have got the right variety and that's our greatest strength," Younis told Mail Today.
"In Dale Steyn, we have pace and accuracy, Amit Mishra is a great spinner of the ball, Ishant ( Sharma) can get the right amount of bounce while Thisara Perera can swing the ball. If your main bowlers can bring such an assortment to the table, the coach is bound to be a happy man." Indeed, the lethal nature of Sunrisers bowling can be gauged from the fact that four of their players are among the top- 15 wicket- takers in the current edition so far.
While Mishra has 14 scalps, the others are not far behind. Ishant Sharma has 10 wickets while the Steyn, the world's top pacer, and Sri Lankan Perera have nine scalps each.
But can the pace legend completely ignore the fact that Sunrisers have suffered too, in a couple of matches, due to their batsmen's failure? " I would hate to call Sunrisers a weak batting team. We have got the ammunition which needs to fire. Cameron White is there and we have a class batsman in Kumar Sangakkara.
He hasn't found form yet but it will be wrong to discard him. Shikhar Dhawan is back from his injury and it has only added to our strength," Younis said. Dhawan's entry into the playing XI has indeed come as a respite for the team, with the dashing opener scoring a halfcentury in his first match of 2013 IPL against Chennai Super Kings on Thursday.
The former Pakistan captain, however, agreed that some batsmen may give sleepless nights to bowlers, such as what Mahendra Singh Dhoni did against Hyderabad on Thursday and Chris Gayle in his 175- run blitzkrieg against Pune Warriors.
But Younis adds that it is the job of the bowlers to constantly try to improvise and maximise their chances of success.
"We all saw what happened in the Bangalore- Pune game. If a great hitter like Chris Gayle chooses to attack then bowlers are bound to be demoralised," he said.
"But during our playing days, we were always told to be bowl with a big heart. We were also under tremendous pressure but trying to bowl better after a bad delivery is the only way out. And I tell the same to my bowlers. Keep trying, you may still fail. But if you don't even try, you are bound to fail'." Younis added that it is this constant effort to excel that has helped Sunrisers to third place in the points table, despite having far fewer stars than other teams.
"Under Tom Moody, the team has really gelled well. Everyone is going great with each other. We have a good work ethic and it is because of this that we have successfully defended low totals," he said.
Being a player who saw his prime in the nineties when theer were no T20s, Younis feels that the shorter format has only gathered more fan base for cricket.
"Every era is different with its special qualities. Fans were passionate then too but now T20 has linked sports with entertainment. It's like watching a movie. You come to the stadium for three to four hours, get a result and go back home a happy soul," he said.
While Pakistani players have not been allowed to participate in IPL- 6, former players from the country like Younis himself and Mushtaq Ahmed (Delhi Daredevils) are gracing the back room, while Rameez Raja is commentating.
Younis feels if Pakistan players are allowed it would only be good for the tournament.
" Players from Pakistan would have brought a different blend to the tournament. There are some problems in the political scenario.
But Pak players would have been good for both the countries," he said.

Can't Be Tamed: Britney Spears continues to don scruffy attire at recording studio
a day after revealing pressure to portray
She may have made the declaration just a day earlier that she feels immense pressure to make over-sexualised music videos.
But on Friday, Britney Spears continued to don her signature scruffy style as she went to a recording studio in Westlake Village, California.
The songstress entered the building with her long blonde locks up in a messy bun and wearing jeans and a loose mint green T-shirt that revealed a hint of her toned stomach.
Can't Be Tamed: Britney Spears may say she feels pressure to be sexy in her music videos, but in her downtime, you can't get the girl out of her favourite scruffy clothing
Ready to roll: The songstress was all smiles as she got into her sports car, clutching a manilla envelope, after her session, donning a black baseball cap over her blonde locks
However, when she left sometime later, a black baseball cap covered her mane as the beaming star got into her sleek white Jaguar convertible clutching a manila envelope.
On Thursday afternoon, it was the same deal, with the 31-year-old stepping out in an even less attractive sloppy sweatpants, UGG boots and an oversized jumper.
The mother of two also appeared to be make-up free, apart from lashings of mascara, and pulled her long blonde hair back in a messy bun as she left a Thousand Oaks recording studio.
Easy rider: The mom-of-two is putting in the hard yards ahead of her much-publicised Las Vegas residency, which will net her a tidy fortune
What pressure? Britney Spears wasn't worried about looking sexy as she stepped out in sloppy sweats just hours after claiming she felt pressured to make sexy music videos
It's a far cry from her latest music video Work B**ch, which sees Britney clad in leather underwear, playing master in various bondage-themed situations, including a scene where she holds leather-clad women on a leash.
Speaking to the TJ Show on AMP 103.3 in Boston on Thursday morning, Britney claimed she put her foot down when it came to Work B**ch, cutting half of the original footage because she believed it was far too racy for her taste.
Casual: Britney looked a world away from the sexy character she plays in the music video for her new single Work B**ch
Spears said she wished she could go back to the 'old days', when videos were more focused on music and dancing rather than sexy outfits and raunchy antics.
'A lot of sex goes into what I do. But sometimes I would like to bring it back to the old days when there was like one outfit through the whole video, and you're dancing the whole video, and there's like not that much sex stuff going on,' she said.
Dressed down: Britney stepped out in casual clothes as she left a recording studio in Thousand Oaks on Thursday
'It's about the dance and it's about being old school, it's like keeping it real and just making it about the dance. I'd love to do a video like that.'
Britney told the radio hosts that she was forced to take control when it came to Work B**ch, removing half of the racy content from the clip in an effort to stay 'true to herself' and protect her young boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
'Oh my god, we showed way more skin and did way more stuff for the video than what is actually there,' she said.
Make-up free: Apart from mascara, Britney looked as if she wasn't wearing a scrap of make-up
'Like, I cut out half the video because I am a mother and because, you know, I have children, and it's just hard to play sexy mom while you're being a pop star as well.
'I just have to be true to myself and you know, feel it out when I do stuff,' she added.
Work B**ch is just one of the many racy videos Britney has released throughout the course of her career.
Heavily edited: The pop star also revealed that she cut out half of the racy material in her new video Work B**ch in an effort to 'stay true to herself'
In her 2001 hit Slave 4 U, she is seen writhing around in a pair of leather trousers worn with a g-string over the top.
And in 2003's Toxic, Britney barely covers her modesty in a nude bodysuit complete with strategically places diamantes.
Raunchy: In her 2001 hit Slave 4 U, Britney is seen writhing around in a pair of leather trousers worn with a g-string over the top
While Britney's music videos are often racy, her day to day look is much more casual.
She is rarely seen without her sweatpants these days as she prepares for her Las Vegas residency and on Thursday she also clutched her ever present order from Starbucks.
Barely there: And in 2003's Toxic, Britney barely covers her modesty in a nude bodysuit complete with strategically places diamantes
Shortly after Britney made her comments on air, her father Jamie Spears and longtime manager Larry Rudolph claimed that the pop star was never pressured into anything she didn't want to do.
'Britney is never pressured into anything,' they told TMZ. 'She reviews all creative and for her 'Work B**ch' video she discussed toning down some parts in finding a balance of sexy and being a mom.'

How Sydney Wears It: My Favorite Fall Trends
See what the Daybook blogger is looking forward to wearing when the weather cools.
Though it's only mid-August, I'm starting to crave (and prep my closet for) lower temps and a few more layers. I love the fall season—especially when it comes to clothing. So in honor of that, I put together a few transitional looks that include some of my favorite trends for the cooler weather right around the corner.
Distressed Denim and Ankle Boots
These are by far the easiest trends to wear this coming season. They're super comfortable and look fashionable with so many things.
Windsor boots, Abercrombie & Fitch jeans, Old Navy T-shirt, and YesStyle faux-fur vest (similar).
Floral Pants
The summery floral pant trend is continuing into fall as a pretty pairing with heavier clothing like denim or a chunky scarf.
Forever 21 shoes (similar) and top (similar), Windsor jeans, Lauren Elan necklace, and Bonlook sunglasses.
Plaid Plus Glitzy Earrings
I'm looking forward to plaid in every color this fall, especially when it's paired with something unexpected, like a pair of dressy, dangly earrings.
Forever 21 shoes (similar), Gap shorts (similar), Windsor plaid shirt, Gold and Citrus earrings, and Bonlook sunglasses.
What's the one trend you're most looking forward to wearing this fall? Let me know in the comments!

APPLICATION HLED mmm, 1917.
1,408,943. Patented Mar. 7, 1922.
Donnas-ooevaa 5 FRED D. HOLD-SWORTH, OF CLAREMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE, ASSIGNL'R T0 SULLIVAN MACHINERY COMPANY, A CORPORATION F MASSACHESETTS.
Application tiled May 21,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRED D- HoLDswoR'rH, a citizen of the United States residing at Claremont, in the county of bullivan and State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Compressor-Controllin Mechanisms, of' which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
My invention relates to compressor controlling mechanisms.
It has for its object to control a, compressor in an improved manner and to provide improved means whereby the compressor is automatically loaded or unloaded in accordance with the requirements of its service. A more speciic object of my invention is to provide improved valve controlling mechanism especially adapted to multi-stage machines, whereby as a result of pressure changes arising from the closure of the main unloader or intake controlling valve, the inlet valves of the compressor are opened to unload the compressor, these valves being thereatl'ter closed as the pressure conditions -again vary. These and other objects of my improved construction will, however, herein'after more fully appear.
In order that my invention may be fully and clearly disclosed, I have illustrated in the accompanying drawings one embodiment which the same may assume in practice.
In these drawingsy Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a compressor equipped With my improvement, portions of the same being broken away to facilitate illustration.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail sectional view of the intake controlling valve and its connections, the valve being shown in closed position.
Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig. 2. 1
Fig. 4 is aI detail sectional view of one of the pilot valves.
In this illustrative construction, I have shown a multi-stage compressor mounted upon a suitable base and comprising a low pressure cylinder 1 having a piston 2 movable therein and connected through a piston rod 3 With an axially disposed piston 4 in a high pressure cylinder 5. As shown, each of the cylinders 1 and 5 is provided with inlet valves 6 of the suction type and with discharge valves 7 of usual construc- Specication of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 7, 1922. 1917. Serial No. 169,971.
tion, only one of each set of valves-being shown for purposes of illustration. Operatively connected between the cylinders is also the usual intercooler 8, and operatively connected to the high pressure cylinder through a suitable connection 9 is a receiver 10. Disposedin the intake 11 leading to the low pressure cylinder is also an unloader valve 12 of usual construction, normally `held open by a spring 13 and adapted to be closed by :fluid pressure through means hereinafter described, or manually by the adjustment of a suitable adjusting mechanism 14.
.In my improved construction, it will be noted that this unloader valve 12 is connected through a connection 15 with the receiver 10, the air supply from the receiver i .valve 19 communicates with a passage 20 leading into a central axially vdisposed chamber 21 disposed within the' chamber 16, wherein the pressure surface of the valve 12 in such a manner as to depress the same and close the intake.
may act upon the upper v As in the usual operation of such an unloader valve, when the receiver pressure rises above a predetermlned point, the same l actuates the valve 19 and admits the receiver pressure tothe chamber 21 so that as a result the main unloader valve 12 is depressed against the pressure of its spring 13 to close the intake 11. Conversely, when the receiver pressure falls below a predetermined level the air in this chamber 21 will he exhausted through the valve 19 to the atmosphere. It will also be noted that in this construction I `have provided a pipe 22 which communicates with the chamber 16 andy acts as a drain for any liquid accumulated therein. i
Obviously, through the operation of the mechanism just described, the intake 11 will be opened or closed in accordance with variations in pressure in the receiver 10. As soon, however, as the valve 12 is closed, it will be obvious that since no air is supplied to the compressor, the continued operation v thereof will result in the progressive formation of a vacuum in the compressor spaces, the vacuum first being formed in those spaces on the inside ol the valve 12 so that practically as soon as the valve^12 is closed the low pressure cylinder will be unloaded. The suctionv valves 6 for the high pressure cylinderwill remain operative, however, and it is desirable for them to do so for a short time tor reasons of eiciency, in order that the air then in the compressor may be delivered to the receiver. In my improvement, l have provided improved means whereby these last mentioned suction valves may be lifted Atrom their seats, the progressive drop in pressure in the compressor following from lthe closure of the intake valve 12 being utilized in bringing about this movement of the suction valves.
As shown, these suction vvalves 6 of the high pressure cylinder are provided with the usual spring pressed valve stems, and beneath the same are located suitable pistons or plungers 23 movable in suitable cylinders 24, of which only oneis shown for purposes ot illustration. These cylinders 24 are in turn connected through a pipe connection 25 with a second pilot valve 26 operatively connected to the chamber 16 through a pipe connection v27 and. also connected through a pipe connection 28, communicating with a removable dome or cover member29 on the valve 26, with a point in the compressor where the pressure is reduced a short time after closure of the intake valve 12. vHerein, l have shown this connection 28 to bemade to a chamber 30 disposed within oneot the pillar supports 31 for the high pressure cylinder and communicating in the usual'nianner with the intercooler 8 so that the pressure in this chamber varies with the pressure in the intercooler. Obviously, however, if quite such a long delayed unloading of the high pressure cylinder is not desired, this connection may be made at a point at the compressor side of the yintake valve 12 through a suitable connection 32, and l have accordingly shown the same connected to each ot these points, suitable controlling valves 33, 34 being provided in the connections 28. 32 so that upon opening its valve either of the same may be used, the other then being cutout by closing its valve. A l
Obviously. as a result of this construction.. when either the pressure in the chamber 30 or at the compressor side of the intake controlling valve 12 drops below a predetermined amount.. the pilot valve 26 will be operated in such a manner as to open communication 'from the receiver 10 to the chamber 17 and through the pipe connection 27 to the connection 25 and the pistons or plungers 23 'for operating the suction inlet mosaics valves 6 of the high pressure cylinder. As a result of the fluid supply through these connections, these valves 6 will be lifted from their seats in such a manner as to unload the compressor. When, however, the receiver pressure -falls to such an extent as to cause the unloader valve 19 to be operated in a well known manner to exhaust the pressure from the space 2-1 above the intake controlling valve 12, this valve 12 will be opened by its spring 13 in such a manner as to permit the pressure in the compressor to be built up. Thereupon, due to the increase in pressure supplied through the connection 28 to the top of the pilot valve 26, that valve will be operated in such a manner as to open the connection 25 to the atmosphere in a well known manner through ports 35, thereby exhausting the air from beneath the plungers 23 and permitting the suction valves 6 ot the high pressure cylinder to seat and load the compressor so that it may again supply rpressure liuid to the depleted receiver.
Theunloadingmechanismincludingthe ilot valve 26 and its dome-shaped cover 29,w ich herein is connectible either to the chamber y3() or the compressor side of the intake coutrolling valve 12. has been described in my co-pending application Serial No. 134,452, tiled Dec. 1, 1916, but in order that the operation of the same in my present invention may be clearly understood, the description of this mechanism will be repeated herein, it vbeing understood that save Jtor the cover 29, the valve 19 may be ot the same construction as the valve 26. This valve 26 is shown in an enlarged View in Fig. 4. As illustrated therein. it preferably comprises a suitable casing having a diaphragm 36 disposed across a chamber 37 in its bottom. To this chamber 37 air at receiver pressure is admitted 'from the connection 27 communieating with the receiver 10 through the chamber 16. Disposed below this diaphragm 36 in this chamber, is a vertically disposed spring pressed hollow plunger 33 having oppositely disposed ports 39 at its upper end communicating with the chamber 37. Disposed adjacent the open lower end of this member 38 is also a ported disk valve 40 normally held in elevated position by a spring 41, in such a manner as normally to engage the lower end of the depressed plunger 38 and thereby close communication between thc receiver and a port l2 leading to the connection 25. As usual. a series of ports communicating with the ports 35 which lead to the atmosphere, is also disposed adjacent the valve t0 and, due to the lll() action ot the spring 4l, the ports in the Y phragm and acting on the opposite surface thereof, is a plunger 44, normally held in depressed position by a coiled spring 45 which acts between the plunger and an upper adjustable cap member 46 having a port 47 therein communicating with the space within the'dome member 29. In practice, this spring 45 is of sufficient strength when added tothe pressure in the compressor to the ports in .the valve member 40 through the opening 42, to the connection 25 in such a manner as to raise the valve plungers 23 of the high pressure inlet valves 6 and lift the latter from their seats to unload that cylinder. Conversely, when the pressure in the compressor is built up, as afterthe intake controlling valve is again opened, the diaphragm 36 is depressed and the plunger 38 again lowered to normal position to open communication between the ports 35 and the connection 25 and thusl cause the air beneath the plungers 23 to be exhausted so that the `valves 6 of the high pressure cylinder may seat and thereby load that cylinder.
In my ,improved construction, it will be vnoted that through the provision of the dome 29 and the connection of the same to the chamber 30 or to the com ressor lside of the valve 12', I have provide means whereby this valve mechanism may be made responsive to the variations in the pressure within the compressor, and therefore operate to control the low throughthe connection 25 in accordance with variations in pressure arising from the opening or closing of the intake. In this c `nstruction it will further be noted that, as distinguished from the co'nstruction shown in m .previous application mentioned above, I ispense with separate inlet valve actuating plunger mechanism for the low pressure cylinder, and utilize a pilot valve to control the main unloader valve or intake controlling valve.
In the earlier application among other features, meanstor effecting a stepped unloading of the cylinders of a multiple cylinder compressor is broadly set forth and claimed, including means for controlling the loading and unloading of one stage controlled by eii'ects produced by the loading or unloading of another, or means for unloading the low pressure stage of a compressor, and means for unloading or reloading a higher pressure stage governed as to both its functions by the combined effects of the discharge pressure of that stage during normal loaded running and the pressure in said compressor at a point between the suction side of that stage and the intake of said compressor. Therein I also claim cer- .tain sub-combinations relating to the structure of the H. P. pilot control, along with other features. L
While I have in this application specifically `described one embodiment which my invention may assume in practice, it is to be `understood that the same is not limited thereto,but may be modified and embodied in various other forms without departing' from its spirit, it being my intention to include all such modifications within the scope of the appended claims.

Because, it's not just racing down a river in a glorified snow sled, shield, or basket, but a journey through such wild territories as Welsh Indians, cadavers, poaching, and sheep wrasslin', just to name a few.

At Least J.R. Wants to Be Shot in Dallas (Again)
Like I wrote last week, TNT's coming to town this week (and good luck with all that) to see if its wants to shoot Dallas in Dallas, which I can't even believe is a question at this point. Neither can Larry Hagman, who was at an AARP dinner last night and offered his own hot sports opinions about where they should film the series. Says J.R.:
"They're still deciding where we're going to shoot it -- they're still dickering -- and they might make up their mind tomorrow. I'm not happy about it. We should shoot there. It's called Dallas, for goodness sake. Where the hell [else] should we shoot it? I can't believe this is even up for discussion. It's all about the hotels, the sets, all that stuff. Comes down to money. But I'd be less than thrilled if it was not shot there. I mean, come on, people -- it's called Dallas for a reason."
Mr. Ewing just made Janis Burklund 's day.
