After coal, china clay is probably the most important of England's mineral resources. Moreover, the means of obtaining it form a most interesting and unusual side to the whole practice of mine and quarry engineering.
Any one who has travelled through the neighbourhood of St. Austell, in the heart of Cornwall, will be familiar with the outward appearance of china clay workings. They form weird landmarks, visible for miles, with their huge white tips rising in a series of miniature mountains, some elongated and flat-topped, others having an absolutely conical formation, according to the methods of tipping in force.
The workings themselves are far less prominent. There are no huge quarries or terraced mountainsides, as in some of the Welsh slate workings or in the open-cut iron mines of northern Sweden.
It is the waste-tip that gives to the china clay country its unmistakable skyline. As the visitor passes through the workings, he seems to be in a world that has been freshly whitewashed, for to the untutored eye the clay waste seems to be virtually as white as the clean, soapy material itself.
In its dry state, which does not occur naturally, china clay consists of a fine white powder. In a damp state, and when well kneaded, it forms a firm, sticky paste. It is whiter than pipeclay or ball clay, such as is found in considerable quantities in southern Dorset and often mistaken for china clay, but it is also less viscous and plastic. The great china clay beds have been formed by the decomposition of felspar in granite, this decomposition having been caused by the absorption of some acid solution.
In its natural state, subject to the continual absorption of water through climatic changes, the clay is normally of a soft consistency. Sometimes, though not often, it is hard, and occasionally so hard as to need blasting. Normally, however, blasting is not necessary. The recovery of china clay is effected by jets or currents of water, which wash it out. In Devonshire, beds occur in the south-western corner of Dartmoor, whence the clay is run down to Plymouth by rail. The deposits are not, however, of such great importance as some of those farther west, and horse haulage is sufficient for its removal in many places. Outside Plymouth may be seen the china clay wagons, horse-drawn on the mining tramroad, crossing at right angles the main line of the Great Western Railway.
Farther west in Cornwall is the great clay-bearing area known as the Hens-barrow district, lying to the north-west of St. Austell and Par. Great quantities of the clay from this part are shipped from the neighbouring port of Fowey to all parts of the world. Hensbarrow is the greatest of the English china clay districts. South of the mining town of Redruth lies another district, and in the "toe" of Cornwall there is a further china clay area.
China clay beds are much elongated, as a rule, following the direction of the regular veins in which decomposition of the rock has taken place. Such a clay bed may be as much as half a mile, or even more, in length, but relatively narrow. A rich area of china clay does not consist of a single mass, similar to a Welsh slate mountain, for instance. It takes the form of a series of parallel veins, or sometimes there will be two systems of veins, at an angle to each other. Though the width of a vein of clay is narrow, its depth may amount to some 300 feet in places.
The sides of the bed are bounded by hard, undecomposed granite. Sometimes the line of demarcation between the soft clay and the hard rock is sharply defined. Sometimes, on the other hand, it is gradual. The good clay-bearing soil in the middle of the vein will deteriorate on either side into an intermediate soft rock, bounded in its turn by the hard rock flanking the bed. This soft rock is poor in kaolin (the technical name for the pure china clay), but, as the workings expose it to the weather, a marked improvement will take place progressively, because of the hastening of decomposition. This intermediate soft rock, therefore, can be made to yield a considerable proportion of kaolin after some time has elapsed.
A section through a china clay pit reveals a profile similar to that of a truncated basin or funnel. If a rectangular, or beaker-shaped pit were excavated, the perpendicular walls, formed of this plastic, slippery material, would have a constant tendency to fall in, and a spell of wet weather would bo disastrous. Again, the funnel form of pit is most convenient for excavation.
The clay bed is overlaid by a layer of loose earth, gravel and boulders. Sometimes, too, a layer of peat-bog lies above this. Then the upper stratum of the clay itself is frequently so stained by iron oxide and other foreign matter as to be unfit for use. The "over-burden," as these top layers are called, shows a considerable variation in thickness, from 3 feet to as much as 60 feet. For all depths of any magnitude the miners bring mechanical excavators to their aid, great power-driven navvies that eat into the clayey mass as if it were butter.
In clay mining, as in other kinds of mining, the miners have to be preceded by prospectors and surveyors. Trial pits are dug where clay-bearing veins are known to exist, and these are supplemented at times by boreholes, from which samples of the underlying material are brought up for inspection. There are also alternative methods of winning the clay, choice of method depending on the nature of the locality.
Where the clay bed is situated on a hill, or at any rate on high ground at no great distance from a fairly deep valley, the engineers responsible for the layout of the works may carry an adit through the hillside from the pit. Down this adit the mixed kaolin, mica and other ingredients of the raw material are carried bodily by the water used in excavating them to settling and drying plant situated at the mouth of the conduit in the valley below. This carriage of kaolin and "sand," as the waste constituents are called collectively, is possible only where the adit is on a sharp downgrade. When only a more gentle gradient is possible, the same system can still, however, be carried out if the kaolin and the sand are separated beforehand, in the claypit itself. In these conditions, the adit will carry off the kaolin, well mixed with water, while the sand is raised over the side of the pit by cable-operated wagons, to be dumped or tipped on some site close to the pit.
In other conditions, the adit system has of necessity to be ruled out, and all the material won from the pit must be raised from it to a higher level. The procedure of the engineers is as follows. First they sink a vertical shaft into the rock at the side of the clay bed, and some distance away. The depth of this shaft is often considerable—sometimes as much as 240 feet—as it has to penetrate to a level well below the bottom of the clay bed. The bottom of this shaft forms a sump, and from a point a little way above the sump the miners drive a horizontal cross-gallery or drift in the direction of the bed. The end of the drift should be immediately below the centre of the nascent pit, and from it a perpendicular rise is taken up until the bottom of the pit has been penetrated. Into the rise is inserted a box pipe, square in section, and containing plugholes at intervals from near the bottom to the top.
Powerful Gravel Pumps
When work is proceeding the plughole most nearly on a level with the bottom of the pit is kept open, the others being closed. The clay, in a fluid condition, enters the box pipe through this hole, passes down it, then along the drift into the sump at the bottom of the shaft through the rock. Thence it is brought to the surface by an ordinary pumping engine. The size and capacity of the pumps vary according to the dimensions of the workings. The box pipe varies correspondingly, and may be anything from 4 in. to 9 in. across. Separation of kaolin and sand, in this type of working, takes place in the pit itself, only the clay-laden water passing down through the box pipe. The sand is conveyed to the edge of the pit, and thence to the tips, by an ordinary inclined cable tramway.
As the bottom of the pit deepens progressively, in the course of successive excavations, there comes a time when the plughole in the central box pipe is at too high a level to deal with the flow of kaolin-laden water. Then it is the turn of the next hole downwards. This has its plug opened and the old hole passes out of use. So the process goes on until the lowest hole is reached, and that particular pit exhausted.
In new and shallow pits, the miners may use a much simpler method for raising the kaolin, the pumping taking place within the pit itself, with delivery over the side. A centrifugal pump driven by a motor is mounted, in a small shed, on a bed-frame of timber near the bottom of the pit, as yet shallow. Frame, pump and pump-house descend easily with the bottom of the pit itself as the output of clay goes on. The engineers use powerful gravel pumps capable of raising the entire mixture produced by the miners working in the pit, even pebbles passing easily through. A strainer, however, needs to be rigged to prevent larger stones from entering and damaging the pump. These stones, occurring in the clay, are carried out by the usual wagon after the strainers have separated them from the sand-and-kaolin mixture.
A common arrangement comprises two centrifugal pumps on the one frame, with the driving motor between them. One of the pumps is connected to a suction pipe descending into the fluid material. This pump delivers it to its fellow, which in turn raises the mixture to the surface, where it goes through the separation process. This combination of pumps can work against a fair head, as much as 80 feet if necessary.
The primary breaking of the ground and removal of the clay are accomplished by washing out with water. A stream of water is directed over the surface of the clay, which is simultaneously attacked by men armed with chisel-edged picks and curious two-bladed hoes. Tbe efforts of these men, assisted by the constant flow of water, cause the formation of a galley, or "strake," as it is called. As the water flows, the sides of the strake are undermined, so that considerable pieces of the kaolin-laden clay are constantly falling into the water stream. Thus the stream, in due course, produces a dense fluid mass of mixed clay and water, which can be dealt with by the pumps and separators.
The modern development of this old but simple system involves the substitution of water jets, working under pressure, for the original running stream. In deep pits, the force of gravity alone is sufficient to produce a good pressure at the jets, but in newer, shallower pits a compression pump has to be brought into action, delivering water at a force varying from 50 lb. to 100 lb. per sq. in. These rapid jets of water are directed at the clay-bearing ground. The miners keep the jets in constant motion, so that, instead of merely drilling or scouring the clay, they tend to stir it up and to break up the big lumps they bring down.
The old strake method, however, has its advantages. For instance, it enables the men to locate easily any discoloured areas in the clay, and to extract them bodily before they have time to mix with and spoil the pure white kaolin washed down from another part of the working.
Advantages of the "Strake" Method
Hand washing, though it is slower and more expensive, is often retained where china clay of really high quality has to be produced. Even when working on the newer method, the high-pressure water jets need to be supplemented by a good deal of hand work unless the clay bed in question is particularly rich, having a kaolin content of 30 per cent or over.
Pure kaolin is extracted from the sand by a separation process. The pumps deliver the viscous stream of mixed clay and sand into hopper boxes, each of which is equipped with a sliding door in the bottom. The sand is heavier than the kaolin, and it settles in these hoppers, the cleaned kaolin passing on with the main stream of water. The hopper boxes work alternately in pairs. One box is filled up while the other is discharging its load of arrested sand through the bottom doors into a waiting skip or tramway wagon. Where gravel pumps are not in use, separation takes place at the bottom of the pit by means of shallow sandpits equipped with slatted fronts, which allow the water, with the kaolin in it, to pass through, leaving the sand and other impurities behind.
Methods of disposing of the waste products also vary. The incline which carries the sand wagon away from the pit may have a fixed top. When the wagon has reached this by cable haulage in the normal way, it is detached from the cable and run off along a branch track, slightly downhill, to the tipping place. The tip thus assumes a constantly extending, elongated form, which grows steadily in extent, though not in height, as long as tipping continues.
Another method, much practised in Cornwall, involves the use of an extending top to the tramway incline, and this causes the conical formation so familiar in the Hensbarrow distrct. The end of the railed inclines is built up of sliding beams and guys, and by this means the incline is lengthened as the tip grows in size. This arrangement is known as the "sky-tip." In the sky-tip the sand wagon always consists of a hopper skip with automatic discharge doors at the bottom. Before the kaolin is ready for drying and marketing, it has first to pass through a more or less elaborate process of purification. On arrival at the surface the clay-laden water, after separation from the heavier impurities, runs in a wide, shallow stream through a set of long, narrow channels. There are two sets, containing anything from six to thirty channels approximately 20 feet long, 2 feet wide and 9 in. deep. The first set of channels is known as the "drags." The stream passes through these drags at a speed sufficient to keep most of the clay mixture in suspension, only the heavier particles dropping out. The second set of channels is known as the "micas." Here the flow runs much more slowdy, and the channels receive a deposit containing flakes of mica (hence their name) and particles of the finest sand previously held in suspension.
The flow through the micas is interrupted at intervals for the purpose of scouring. They yield a residue of clay of an inferior grade, called mica clay. At the head, and often at the ends, of the micas, wire screens are fitted for the purpose of straining out chips of wood, pieces of grass and other kinds of vegetable matter which have found their way into the flow. Sometimes these strainers take the form of revolving screens, sometimes they are fixed screens fitted with revolving brushes.
From the micas, the stream of purified clay-water flows on through a system of pipes, sometimes of stoneware and sometimes of wood, into the settling pits. These are partly dug out of the ground and partly built up above the natural surface. Settling pits are almost invariably circular in shape, and lined with masonry. In depth they vary from 8 to 10 feet; in diameter they may measure anything from 25 to 40 feet. In each settling pit, the floor slopes slightly downwards from the inflow towards a "hatch " or sluice on the opposite side. In this hatch there are plugholes, normally kept closed with the exception of those at the top. Through these the clear water flows out of the pit while the clay remains deposited inside.
Into the Drying Kilns
Each pit gradually fills up with clay as the inflow of clay-water and the outflow of clear water continues. When the pit is almost full, that is to say, when the clay deposit reaches to within about a foot of the top, the entering stream is shut off. The clay at this stage consists of 60 to 70 per cent water, and has been compared, in appearance and in consistency, to clotted cream. "Slurry" is the name given to it.
The settling pit being full, the hatch is raised, and the whole creamy mass of the slurry pours out, to be conducted into storage tanks. These tanks are of considerable size. Average dimensions are 140 feet long, 50 feet wide and 7 ft. 6 in. deep. Sometimes they are roofed over to prevent dust and other foreign bodies from contaminating the slurry. Further settlement takes place in the storage tanks, more water being run off from the clay before it is finally passed, either through pipes or by wagons, into the drying kilns, where it enters the last stage of its preparation.
A drying kiln consists of a long roofed-over shed with furnaces at one end, standing adjacent to a railway siding, or, failing that, a road. Each drying kiln is divided into two sections, one called the "pan" and the other the "linhay." The pan may be as much as 200 to 350 feet long and 12 to 18 feet wide. It is lined with fireclay tiles, these resting in their turn on walls of firebrick. The walls themselves are hollow, and form the flues of the drying furnaces, which are generally three in number and burn coal. A tall smokestack rises at the opposite end of the kiln. The wet clay is spread out on the floor of the kiln in a huge layer, about a foot thick at the furnace end of the pan, decreasing to about half that thickness at the cooler chimney end.
After the drying process this will have shrunk to about 9 in. and 4-1/2 in. at furnace and. chimney end respectively. At the hot end of the pan, drying will have been completed in about twenty-four hours ; at the other end several days may elapse before the kaolin is ready.
During the drying process, the clay is cut into blocks, partly for convenience of carriage and partly to prevent it from cracking as it dries. When the blocks of clay are completely dried they are stored in the adjacent linhay, whence they may be transferred to waiting railway wagons or lorries for transport as they are required.

NBA Roundup: Wizards take 1-0 lead with 102-96 win
Bradley Beal scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and Trevor Ariza added 22 on Monday night, leading Washington past top-seeded Indiana 102-96 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Wizards won a second-round game for the first time since 1982 and are 4-0 on the road in this year's playoffs. They ended a 12-game losing streak at Indiana that dated to April 18, 2007, and they did it by nearly leading from wire-to-wire.
Paul George and George Hill had 18 points each for Indiana.
The Wizards trailed only once, 31-30, and took control with a 17-6 run to close the first half that made it 56-43. Indiana couldn't get closer than five points in the second half.
Game 2 is Wednesday night at Indiana.
The Pacers have lost both of their playoff series' openers and will face another uphill battle — just days after rallying from a 3-2 deficit to beat Atlanta in seven games in the first round.
Washington made a playoff franchise-record 10 3-pointers, going 10 of 16. Ariza was 6 for 6 with five coming in the first half when he scored a playoff-career best 17 points.
But the Wizards won this one because of their defense, especially late.
After pulling out to a 92-78 lead midway through the fourth quarter, Indiana scored six straight to close to 92-84 with 3:24 left.
But Washington didn't allow another field goal for nearly 6 minutes — from 7:41 left in the fourth until Indiana's last-minute 3-point flurry, and by then it was too late.
The Wizards took advantage of a five-day break after beating Chicago in the first round, looking fresh and stealing a page out of the Hawks' playbook by spreading out the Pacers.
It worked perfectly.
The Wizards jumped to an 8-0 lead and extended the margin to 28-15 after one quarter.
The Pacers spent the second half playing catch-up and the Wizards never let them get closer than two possessions.
After the Wizards took a 68-52 lead midway through the third quarter, the Pacers finally charged back with a 10-0 run that got them within 68-62.
But Washington sealed the game with a 7-0 fourth-quarter run that made it 92-78 with 5:46 to play. It was too much to overcome for Indiana, which made four 3s in the final minute.
NOTES: Washington has won nine of its last 10 dating to the regular season. ... Indiana held Washington to 66 points on Jan. 10, the lowest single-game point total this season. It took the Wizards 26:02 to top that mark Monday. ... Robert Mathis and Reggie Wayne of the Colts attended the game.
Paul scores 32; Clippers roll past Thunder 122-105
OKLAHOMA CITY — Chris Paul made a career-high eight 3-pointers and scored 32 points to help the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 122-105 on Monday night in Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal.
Paul, who had never made more than five 3-pointers in a game, had 10 assists. Blake Griffin scored 23 points, Jamal Crawford had 17 and J.J. Redick added 12 for the Clippers, who shot 55 percent from the field and made 15 of 29 3-point attempts.
Russell Westbrook scored 29 points, Kevin Durant had 25 and Serge Ibaka added 12 for the Thunder, who suffered their worst home loss since moving to Oklahoma City.
The Clippers scored 23 points off Oklahoma City's 18 turnovers.
Game 2 is Wednesday night in Oklahoma City.
Both teams were coming off Game 7 wins in the first round on Saturday night.
Oklahoma City opened by taking a 16-10 lead but the Clippers responded with a 24-6 run. Paul hit five 3-pointers in the first quarter, matching his career high for 3s in a playoff game in the first 12 minutes. The Clippers shot 67 percent in the first quarter to take a 39-25 lead.
Los Angeles extended its lead to 24 points in the second quarter and took a 69-52 halftime lead with Paul getting 22 points and six assists.
Durant and Westbrook scored 16 points each in the first half, but the Thunder committed 11 turnovers before halftime.

Volunteers work to make Beech Fork shine
BARBOURSVILLE -- Beech Fork State Park is open for business year-round, but Superintendent Matt Yeager says there is just something about spring that brings people out to the park in droves.
"If the sun is shining, you can bet there are people at Beech Fork," he said Saturday.
Sure enough, as the sun came up over the mountains surrounding the park's campground, about 125 people stood ready to clear debris from every nook and cranny of the park during the 5th annual Spring Clean-up Weekend event.
Yeager said cleanup events have been happening for a little more than a decade, but they only became part of the West Virginia Department of Environmental Resources and the state's Division of Highway's Make it Shine campaign a few years ago.
He estimated nearly 50 tons of trash and debris have been collected in that decade's time.
"It's very important that we keep up with cleaning the park, so the public can have a nice place to enjoy in their spare time," said Yeager. "We want to make sure they can come here and enjoy the natural beauty of the area."
Participants in the event clear the trash and debris throughout the park, including the areas surrounding its 275 campsites, six cabins, an Olympic size swimming pool, trails and picnic areas.
In exchange for their day of work, participants receive vouchers for two free nights of camping at the park, which certainly sweetened the deal for Jeanie Anderson of St. Albans.
Anderson, her husband and a couple of friends from the J.D. Camper Group have been coming to clean the park for about five years. The group travels throughout the state to camp at various parks each year in addition to traveling outside of the state for occasional road trips, said Anderson.
She said most of the people in the group enjoy volunteering their time as much as they do camping and traveling.
"A lot of work goes into taking care of these parks by the people who work here," said Anderson. "I wish everyone was dedicated to keeping things clean instead of discarding trash wherever they are standing at the time. If people just took better care to not toss out their trash just along the road and in our parks, they could see that in West Virginia we have a lot to be proud of."

Andrew does it again!!
Hi folks,
Sorry I've been MIA, but summers are quite a busy time for me with work.
I do loads of travelling and vendor visits and such, and that keeps me away from the fun of this forum and other things!
N E WAAAAAY........... (my nieces taught me that)!!
My brother bought himself a 2013 Ram 1500 Big Horn a few weeks after I got mine, and he finally got around to getting a cover for it.
We were heading out of town for holidays on Tuesday night (October 8th), but late Friday night (October 4th) he decided to get me to find him a cover like mine.
Of course I called Andrew at Bully's to see what he could do, and though he couldn't promise anything he would see about getting me the cover on time.
As usual the price was great, but I was really hoping to look like a bigger superstar to my brother and have the cover show up to take with us to install whilst we were away.
Much to my happy shock and surprise, Andrew pulled out all the stops and got me the cover early Tuesday morning!
It took less than 30 minutes to install, but better still, it stopped my brother from whining at me the whole time we were away!
The boys at Bully's may not always be able to beat the lowest price out there, but I certainly challenge you to fins better service. And to be the better service is worth the few extra bucks!
Thanks again Andrew I appreciate your help!

The TV Show 10: 24 finale, Farscape 1, Doctor Who 3
But Jack yelled!
Also, I thought Kate was an excellent edition, bummed they didn't set her up for a spinoff.
The most disappointing thing for me was the "time jumps" that they'd talked about when Fox said only 12 episodes. Putting them all into the last 10 minutes felt like the lazy way out to me.
Other than that, I still thought it was the 'old' Jack Bauer at his best and Kate Morgan was an excellent addition (nice to see Strahovski get a crack at playing a 'serious' spy after Chuck!)
I just hope that's not how it ends forever. I honestly think the only way it could ever truly finish is with Jack Bauer in a fireball. Nothing else will finish him off ;-)
Oh, and it was FANTASTIC to see it all go down in Britain this time :D
I rewatched a few seasons lately on amazon. One thing that never made too much sense was having his kid just run around having a family when Jack has all these people gunning for him. That was always the major premise of this show, threatening loved ones to get what you want. With Kim such a weak character now, they should just move along and really get to him. And have him go on a last revenge kick. He doesn't seem to have anymore ties to pols in power with Heller near his end.

Alphard Adams, 67, of 784 Branch Road, Fall Branch, Tenn.
A Fall Branch man has been charged with aggravated assault after allegedly threatening to kill several family members, chasing two from his home with a pistol in hand.
A report at the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office says Alphard Adams, 67, of 784 Branch Road, was arrested Sunday morning. Police were called to his home at about 9:40 a.m.
One of the victim's reported meeting her sister at the home to do some cleaning. When they arrived their mother told them that Adams, her husband, had hit her in the face with a dish towel.
When the sisters confronted Adams about the alleged incident, according to the report, an argument ensued. The victims said Adams then went to a bedroom and retrieved a pistol, threatening to kill anyone who attempted to remove his wife from the home. Adams, with the gun in hand, is alleged to have then chased the sisters from the home.
When the reporting officer arrived at the residence Adams allegedly stepped out of the home with the pistol in his front pocket. He was arrested without incident and charged with two counts of aggravated assault, one count of domestic assault and one count of going armed.comments powered by Disqus

Moses has been told he can leave Chelsea on loan in order to get regular first-team football.
Chelsea are reportedly asking for a Ł2million loan fee for the 22-year-old winger.
Moses has yet to make an appearance for Chelsea following the return of Jose Mourinho as manager.

My copy of Put Me in the Zoo is over 50 years old and now on its third generation of readers. It's a great example of a funny story that entertains with silliness, teaches colors and numbers, and inspires readers (both young and old) to think outside the box. It contains the timeless lesson that we all have unique gifts and talents to share; we just have to find our place in the world. As the wise boy and girl in the story say to the spotted animal who really thinks he belongs in the zoo, "With all the things that you can do, the circus is the place for you!"

You are spot on. Henrique has to be a finisher!!
Usually I can't stand him but have to admit he has been dead on in his breakdowns of what is happening and what is going to unfold in the game. He is very knowledgeable but he comes off as being smug and rubs you the wrong way.
Can't believe PL3 was making 525K.
Hey Clarkson can score. It does look like they might move him with this deal though.
Good news. He should develop into a very good D-men. Let's just not expect too much from him right away. Now sigh Parise!!!!!!
Yes we are not going to the playoffs but if they were to beat them at MSG, it would be super sweet!!It has been a big letdown, this season, but a win tomorrow would salvage a little of the disapointment this season. Go DEVILS!!!!!!!!!!!!
His salary comes out to $6 mil + a year. He is worth it. It's the length of the contract that is wrong, not the salary!!!!! Wake up.
Well said njdevils. 3sc1cs you have no clue. So now we are supposed to pile on Elias. Give me a break!! He was setting everybody up when they were on the winning streak. Yes he could have had more goals, but to trash him is ridiculous!!! Elias has carried this team for years, and in my opinion should still be captain.
Enough with the guarantees!!! Next time your about to open your mouth about a guarantee, stick your wife's toes in your mouth instead. Just win, stop talking. Go J E T S.
There is no doubt if they make the playoffs, he has to be the Adams winner!
Mistake, 2 vs Thrashers.
The players all seem to have their confidence back. Even though they still seem to be a long shot to make the playoffs, you can see their excitement now. Whereas earlier in the year they had a defeatest attitude, even when scoring and winning a game. I think the team believes they can continue this run and make the last 3 weeks of the season very interesting. 13 points out with 2 games vs Canes, 1 vs Thrashers, 1 vs Sabers, can make up plenty of ground on those teams.
The impossible is possible with their new attitude and confidence. Keep it going boys, Zach and Marty coming back, can only get better!!! They are 13 points out now on Feb 11. The ? is has a team made the playoffs 13 points out from this point in the season before?
Forget the 27 points they were out last month. The new # is 13pts, maybe 11 pts by tonight. Miracles do happen!!!!!!!!! Believe.
I don't think they should trade Marty, just saying it wouldn't amount to much.
A 1st rd pick from Wings wouldn't amount to much, say a pick from 23rd-30th.
Clarkson can score a little. As far as Pelly and Sestito, these 2 can't finish, EVER. Yes they do work hard, but we need guys to put the puck in the net, not around or over it!! They have no business on the power play and JL usually puts non scorers out there the last 20-30 seconds of the PP and it drives me crazy. It makes no sense.
He has to put him and Vasunov back in there. How do Mair and Palmieri play before them? They should've sign Pandolfo over Mair.
Elias or Parise for Captain. Lou can probably send Arnott back to Nashville as a rental as well. This D is the worst we Devils fans has ever seen!! When was the last time you saw a big hit from someone not named Volchenkov. And he needs to hit MORE. They are so soft that every opposing forward skates directly to the net without ever getting stood up or hit. Tallinder is a HUGE PROBLEM, we are stuck with this guy for what? 3 or 4 more years at big $$$$. Have to convince some team to take him off our hands, he is the worst Devil D-man I have ever seen. Larry keep him after school and whip him into some sort of defensemen!!!!
You are clueless. When we miss the playoffs 7 years in a row like your boys did then you can talk. Until then 1 bad season doesn't make our trajectory, as you put it, that bad.
Well said. Also get this in your heads people. This was not a salary dump because he was going to be a UFA. It was Lou simply getting SOMETHING(2nd or 3rd rd) for a player that was not going to be resigned. Lou will probably stockpile 2nd and 3rd rounders for this years draft. Which in turn he will trade up or trade the picks for other players for next season. Lou is not a has been like some of you keep preaching, he will fix this mess. Lets face it this WHOLE TEAM COLLECTIVELY has under performed.
Tallinder was totally out of position on the 1st goal. He has been HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ReChaco & Custom Chacos in the UK.
Posted On: 21 June 2011
Hello Chaconians,
We wanted to let you know where we are with the ReChaco and Custom Chaco programs for the UK. At the moment, our ReChaco and Custom Chaco teams are based in the States. For the UK, we looked into how we could bring this program to our UK Chaconians and realised that we have some work to do.
In our research we looked into shipping back and forth to the States thinking that might be a solution but discovered that not only was it incredibly expensive but environmentally, it felt wrong. So, at the moment we are not in a position to offer the ReChaco or Custom Chaco services to you due to not having the right tools available.
Our goal is to provide you with the best ReChaco and Custom Chaco experience, so thanks in advance for being patient with us as we work to build these programs out for you all.
In the meantime, don't let those beluved Chacos go in the landfill! Hold onto them and check back now and again for updates. Also you can sign up on our email list and as soon as we have the right solution we will send an email out!
The UK Chaco team.

Egyptian Sarcophagi seized in Jerusalem 390.
(photo credit:Clara Amit, courtesy of the Israel Antiquities Aut)
Antiquities Authority inspectors recently seized two rare ancient Egyptian
sarcophagus covers in Jerusalem's Old City.The antiquities experts have
confirmed the covers as authentic, dating one to the Late Bronze Age (16th- 14th
centuries BCE) and the other to the Iron Age (10th-8th centuries
BCE).The wood-and-plaster covers, each two meters long, were found for
sale in a storefront in the Old City marketplace. They are being held in
climate-controlled conditions in an Antiquities Authority laboratory in
Jerusalem. The location and condition of the rest of the sarcophagi and the
mummies they contained remain unclear.The Antiquities Authority said it
suspects the sarcophagus covers were plundered from tombs in Egypt's Western
Desert and from there transferred to Dubai and Europe before making their way to
Jerusalem. The covers are split in two – evidence, researchers say, that they
had been modified to facilitate smuggling.Shai Bar-Tura of the
Antiquities Authority's Unit for the Prevention of Antiquities Robbery said that
starting April 20, Israel will only allow the import of antiquities certified to
have been legally exported from their country of origin."The new
regulation will provide us with the tools needed in order to prevent the
importation into the country of antiquities that were stolen or plundered in
other countries, thus enabling us to thwart the international cycle of robbery
and trade in stolen archeological artifacts," he said.Egypt has asked
for the artifacts' repatriation, and officials from the Antiquities Authority,
Israel Police and Foreign Ministry are examining the request.

The Paris Wife Gets a Reading at Left Bank Books Tonight
Categories: Books
There was also Pauline Pfeiffer, who wasn't born here but moved here at six and went to high school here. And there was Martha Gellhorn, a talented journalist and wonderful writer in her own right. When Hemingway once bragged that he'd married three women from three of the finest families in St. Louis, Gertrude Stein famously replied that any man who married three women from St. Louis couldn't have learned much.
But Hadley Richardson was the first woman from St. Louis to marry Hemingway -- the first woman to marry him, period. And anyone who's ever read A Moveable Feast, Hemingway's memoir about his years with her in Paris, knows that there was a part of the macho writer who wished to God he'd stopped right there. "I wish I had died before I ever loved anyone but her," he wrote.
Regrets ... he had a few.
There's already been at least one well-received biography of Hadley Richardson Hemingway, but now she's getting the fiction treatment. Cleveland-based writer Paula McLain wrote a novel focused on Richardson's courtship with Hemingway and those years in Paris, The Paris Wife. She's here tonight in Richardson's home town to talk about the book and sign it.
The book has gotten mixed reviews (Janet Maslin, of the New York Times, was particularly brutal). But if you've got any curiosity about the woman who some critics believe was the catalyst for Hemingway's best work, it'll be worth making a trip to Left Bank Books to hear what the author has to say and pick up a copy.
The talk begins at 7 p.m. tonight at the Central West End location, 399 N. Euclid.

Best Bluetooth Headset for Glasses
I've been doing my research on bluetooth headsets and realize I left one thing out. I wear glasses so need one that works well with that. The current headsets I am looking at are:
Jabra BT250V, BT500V, BT5010, BT5020
Plantronics Voyager 510
Sony HBH-GV435
The only concern I have with Jabra is I've heard they answer automatically not giving you the option to answer with your phone if you prefer to talk that way.
Either way I'm wondering if these or any others work well with glasses?

The present invention relates to internal combustion engines, and particularly to exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems in engines. More particularly, the invention relates to more effective recirculation of exhaust gases.
The invention is an approach for smoothing out (i.e., minimizing pulses) a flow of exhaust gas being recirculated in an engine.
For emissions control in an internal combustion engine (e.g., a diesel engine) some of the exhaust gas from the engine may be redirected or recirculated back into the cylinders of the engine. The introduction of inerts (i.e., exhaust gas) into the cylinder may minimize or prevent NOx production which is a pollutant of concern. The present approach may be referred to exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). EGR systems may be open loop or depend on a coordination of actuators such as a vane position of a variable nozzle turbine (VNT), which may coordinate a flow of exhaust gas back into the engine. The present system may improve exhaust recirculation by adding a storage device to the RGR system.
The interface 44 may be a valve that, at certain times, permits a one way flow of exhaust gas 14 into the storage device 42. Interface 44 may permit exhaust gas 14 to enter the storage device 42 during pressure pulses of the exhaust gas 14 or when the exhaust gas 14 exceeds a certain pressure. That means a certain pressure of the exhaust gas in the storage device 42 may be achieved. This improved pressure may assist an exhaust gas 43 at a pressure sufficient to go through the EGR valve or flow control mechanism 12 despite the reduced pressure at moments of the incoming exhaust gas 43 and an overall higher pressure in the intake system area 18 than the exhaust system pipe 28 of the engine. The output exhaust gas 43 from the storage device 42 may be free of the pulses. The storage device 42 may smooth out the pressure variations of the overall exhaust gas 14 and 43 and still provide a higher overall pressure at the input of the flow control mechanism 12 relative to the exhaust gas 14 in the exhaust system pipe 28.
The following may provide a basis of the present system. A certain amount of fuel may be added to the mixture 36 (via a carburetor or fuel injectors) before entering or after going through the intake valve to the cylinder. This new mixture 36 may enter the respective cylinder during an intake cycle as permitted by an intake valve 25 to cylinder 17. Subsequently, the intake valve may close and a piston 21 in the cylinder compress the mixture 36 up against a head structure (head), not explicitly shown, that is attached to the top of the block containing the cylinder. The head may cap off and seal the cylinder 17 encompassing a volume between the piston and the head. As the piston moves towards its closest position to the head (i.e., top dead center—TDC) the volume of the mixture 36 may decrease and the pressure increase dramatically while the intake valve 25 and an exhaust valve 26 situated in the head are closed thereby maintaining the seal of the volume of the mixture 36. Also, manifolds 15 and 23 may be attached to the head having ports 19 and 22 connecting the manifolds to their respective valves 25 and 26. The valves 25 and 26 may be round but appear oval in the Figure because of their slanted orientation in the head relative to the top of piston 21. Alternatively, valves 25 and 26 may be situated in the top of the cylinder block of the engine along with the respective intake and exhaust manifolds being attached to the block. The intake valve 25 and exhaust valve 26 may be opened and closed by a camshaft (not shown) that is connected to a crankshaft 24. Other mechanisms may be utilized for bringing fuel mixtures to the engine and removing exhaust gases from the engine. At about the piston's closest point to the head, the compressed mixture 36 may ignite (due to the heat of a highly compressed mixture in a diesel engine or the spark of a plug in a gasoline engine) and expand thereby providing much pressure on the piston and pushing the piston away from the head. The piston 21 may be connected to the crankshaft 24 that is rotated by the force of the burning mixture 36 upon the piston, resulting in a power cycle. As the piston approaches its farthest position from the head (i.e., bottom dead center—BDC), the exhaust valve 26 may open and the piston 21 return back up the cylinder 17 and push a burnt mixture or exhaust gas 14 out of the cylinder 17 through the exhaust valve 26 into an exhaust manifold 23 via an exhaust port 22, resulting in an exhaust cycle. The exhaust valve 26 may close and the intake valve open thereby permitting the piston 21 to draw in another mixture 36 along with some fuel, into the cylinder 17 during its next intake cycle as the piston 21 moves down cylinder 17 away from the head. The sequence or intake, compression, power and exhaust cycles may repeat themselves for a given piston 21 and cylinder 17 over the next two rotations of the crankshaft 24. Each of the other pistons 21 and cylinders 17 may proceed through the same process. However, each piston may have its sequence of cycles offset from the other pistons somewhere from one-half to one-and-one-half revolutions of the crankshaft 24. Thus, in the case of the four cylinder engine 11 shown in
The power of the engine 11 may be increased by compressing the mixture 36, along with the fuel, before it enters the cylinder 17, with a mechanism such as the turbocharger. The exhaust gases 14 exiting the engine 11 into manifold 23 may go to a turbine via an exhaust pipe 28. The exhaust gases 14 may turn or spin the turbine at a relatively high number of revolutions per minute (rpm). After the exhaust gases 14 pass the turbine, they may exit the turbo charger via the exhaust pipe. The turbine in turn may turn a compressor turbine via a shaft. The turbine may draw in fresh air 16 via an intake tube and output into a tube 34 that is connected to the manifold 15. Since the movement of air 16 into tube 34 is much faster than the normal intake of a naturally aspirated engine 11, the air 16 may become compressed as it enters the engine via the manifold 15. If the pressure of compressed air 16 is higher than the pressure of the exhaust gas 14 in pipe 28, then exhaust gas might not go through an open valve 12 and mix with air 16 in tube 34 or manifold 15 to result in an EGR. It is this differential pressure which may be of concern here.
EGR may be accomplished by means of a pipe 35, or other device for conveyance, which may connect the exhaust manifold 23 or exhaust pipe 28 to the intake manifold or air intake tube 34. In the EGR flow pipe 35, an on/off valve, a proportional flow valve or a reed valve may be situated in the pipe as the valve 12. When the on/off valve or the proportional flow valve is used, either one may be controlled at a conventional, slow time scale to modulate EGR as a function of load and speed of the crankshaft 24 of engine 11. In both these cases, the exhaust pressure should be greater than the intake pressure to provide an EGR flow in the right direction. The intake pressure and the exhaust pressure may be measured by pressure sensors 37 and 38, respectively. Sensors 37 and 38 may be connected to a controller 40. Signals from the sensors 37 and 38 may be utilized to determine the differential pressure across the flow control mechanism 12. This pressure may also be detected by a differential or delta pressure sensor appropriately situated. The speed or revolution rate or count of the crankshaft may be detected by a sensor 39 that is proximate to a flywheel 51 which is attached to crankshaft 24. Sensor 39 may be connected to controller 40. The valve or mechanism 12 may be connected to controller 40 via connection 53. Controller 40 may utilize mathematical models and appropriate control logic, look-up tables, or other schemes, in computing control signals from engine-related parameters for the flow control mechanism 12.
When the reed valve is used, the EGR flow may be dependent on the characteristics of such valve which are not actively controlled. In a well designed highly turbocharged engine 11, such as a diesel engine, the turbocharger may create an intake boost which is higher than the engine exhaust manifold pressure. Thus, in order to induce a flow of exhaust gas 14 from the exhaust manifold 23 or pipe 28 to the intake tube 34 or manifold 15, the time averaged exhaust manifold 23 pressure should be raised above the intake manifold 15 pressure. This may be a problem, because in essence, the intake pressure being higher than the exhaust pressure may negate the positive pumping contribution of the turbocharger and result in a loss of efficiency and fuel economy by the engine. Furthermore, since the exhaust pressure may be pulsing, due to individual cylinder events, pulses from the exhaust may be transmitted to the intake manifold 15. Some of the exhaust gas 14 flow accomplished during pressure pulses may be reversed when the exhaust manifold 23 pressure falls and the intake manifold 15 pressure is momentarily higher then the exhaust. To obtain a net result that is to accomplish the desired EGR rate, the engine may be "back-pressured" by, for example, obstructing the exhaust gas 14 flow in pipe 28, which may result in a fuel economy loss of the engine. Furthermore, as higher levels of EGR are required, the fuel economy penalty increases, and in some cases the engine will not be able to achieve the required EGR levels due to limitations in the turbocharger and engine 11 thermodynamics.
The present device or valve 12 may solve the problem of inducing flow of EGR without increasing back pressure. This may be accomplished by first recognizing that the exhaust gas 14 pressure has pulses, and that the magnitude of these pressure pulses are such that they exceed the intake mixture 36 pressure for certain periods of time. These pressure pulses may be detected by sensor 38. By closing the EGR path in tube or pipe 35 during unfavorable or negative pressure gradients, the present flow control mechanism or valve 12 may prevent reverse EGR flow; however, it then may re-open the path during positive or forward pressure with minimum flow restriction. The benefit is that the engine back-pressure requirement to induce the desired EGR flow may be lowered or eliminated. Thus, EGR may be able to flow "up-hill", i.e., in the appropriate direction from the exhaust manifold 23 or pipe 28 to the intake manifold 15 or tube 34 via tube 35, even where the time averaged intake manifold pressure is higher than the time averaged exhaust manifold pressure. The flow or flow rate of the fluid (e.g., gas 14) may be detected and measured with a flow sensor which may be connected to controller 40 via line 53. The flow sensor may be situated in tube 35 proximate to the flow control mechanism 12 or within the mechanism 12.
To accomplish this phenomenon, the present device or valve 12 may have a controllable open "window" area such that the flow area, time of opening and time of closing can be controlled to coincide with the favorable pressure pulses, thus opening only when forward flow will occur and only for a duration compatible with desired EGR flow rate. The valve may very rapidly control a flow of a fluid (i.e., a gas or liquid) with the opening and closing of the window with a moveable mechanical obstruction.
The valve 12 areas of opening and timing may be controlled on a cylinder by cylinder basis to accomplish a customized EGR flow for each exhaust pulse and to nominally equalize the EGR flow with respect to each pulse. Each cylinder may have an individual pressure sensor (not shown) connected to controller 40 via a connection line 52. This may be particularly useful if there is considerable cycle to cycle variation in the strength of the exhaust pulse which results in cycle to cycle and cylinder to cylinder variation in the exhaust gas recirculation rate. That could mean that if the cylinders are providing different amounts of power, recirculated gas may be provided in adjusted and different amounts in a timely fashion to each of the cylinders so as to result in the same amounts of power from each of the cylinders. This evenness of power from the cylinders may result in a very smooth running and efficient engine.
Since emissions from a given cylinder event may be particularly sensitive to an EGR rate, control of EGR rate as a function of exhaust pressure pulse strength may be particularly beneficial in terms of emissions, economy and power. This control strategy may be strengthened by the use of various other kinds of sensors which may be used to measure shock, vibration, pulses, temperatures, mixtures, and other parameters of the engine system. The signals from these sensors may be input to the processor or controller to provide appropriate signals to the flow control mechanism 12 for effective EGR. EGR flow control may be based on the use of pressure sensors and/or other related sensors together with mathematical models and appropriate control logic. Controller 40 may incorporate the mathematical models and the control logic for EGR flow control based on parameter signals from pressure sensors and/or the other related sensors as noted above.
In the present specification, some of the matter may be of a hypothetical or prophetic nature although stated in another manner or tense.
Although the invention has been described with respect to at least one illustrative example, many variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the present specification. It is therefore the intention that the appended claims be interpreted as broadly as possible in view of the prior art to include all such variations and modifications.

You all heard the saying before, "it's not easy being green," well, pool attendant Paulo Henrique dos Santos found out the hard way when he painted himself green to look like the Incredible Hulk for a running event. The only problem is the paint wouldn't come off. Yes, he scrubbed and scrubbed, but the rage would not leave him.
After frantically scrubbing some more and having his mom scrub him (how sweet), he discovered the reason behind his Hulk dilemma, the green paint he used is for painting ballistic missiles and submarines. Seriously, who leaves that stuff around? Any foolish person could easily paint themselves green to look like their raging hero the Hulk.
Have you seen The Avengers?! (Rhetorical question because everyone has seen The Avengers.) Who doesn't want to be the Hulk after seeing that movie? There's no word yet on if he was able to remove the green color, but if I have to take a stab at it, he's still angry. Hulk disappointed!
