Maci Bookout Is Dating a New Man! Who's the Lucky Guy?! (PHOTO)
Bad news, Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards 'shippers: Teen Mom's fiesty southern belle is not (we repeat, not) getting back together with her baby daddy! Despite an adorable internet proposal, Maci and Ryan are just friends, but don't worry — Maci has a new guy in her life who is just as hot as her ex-fiancé.
This gal is currently "involved" (her words!) with a hunky super stud named Taylor who hails from Dallas. These two have been visiting each other nonstop (and causing all kinds of speculation while doing so), and they kicked off the New Year by coming out of the relationship closet.
"Happy New Year! Happy to have this guy on my team," Maci posted on Instagram with a pic of her and Taylor snuggling. Sigh, how sweet! But it gets even better, y'all. Taylor takes perfect care of Maci — in fact, he even blow-dries her hair!
"I picked a winner," Maci tweeted on December 31. "My main thang @tmon3yy blow dries my hair for me." Umm … yes, please!
Do you think Maci and Taylor make a cute couple, or are you still Team Ryan? Dish it in the comments!

The feds aren't going to send us a blank check next time. Katrina nailed us and it's time to settle into who can AFFORD to live here. No freebies. I will pay but I expect everyone to pay. The fact is a welfare society cannot hold up on its own weight. Pre-Katrina was worst with a whopping 65% of New Orleanians on government subsidies. How can any area support this. That's why the infrastructure could never be worked on. Too much running around spending money on people who don't produce revenue.
I think the feds should take over the entire city and its expenses because they created this mess with their entitlement programs and concentration of poor in southern cities. Eliminate public housing and section 8 housing (in NOLA) and you will be left with productive people. The others will have to move away.
txbaysgone: I didn't say anything about blacks. I said NON PRODUCTIVE people. The face is that the East isn't protected and the city is putting those people at risk and wasting resources. I think they should be made whole, financially but should be moved to a smaller footprint. And I don't count people who have government contracts and non-profits because the money comes from the tax payers If the so called leaders were really leaders, this city would be booming with new water systems, sewerage, etc.... but only in the right places.
If the water system goes down, the city will have to be evacuated. Who will vote for the Nagins and Jeffersons then?
BULLDOZE HALF THE CITY ! It's the only way to save it. Only WORKING PEOPLE welcome !
The so called leaders of the city of NOLA are the MOST cowardly and weak that I have ever seen. They should have SHRUNK the footprint and then started fixing streets, electrical grids, water and sewerage, garbage cleanup ONLY for the areas that are PRODUCTIVE to the city. NO WAY NOLA east should be rebuilt. NO WAY 9th ward should be rebuilt. The JACK O LANTERN is here to stay, thanks to Nagin, Jefferson, etc...... A real shame at a chance to rebuild a new, modern, productive city turns into a festering slow moving garbage dump with WELFARE people gallore. I can only hope that these so called leaders all die in their sleep before it is too late.
Ironic that when the TP has pictures of give aways, its all black people. When the TP has pictures of tax payers, its all white people.
The reason there are so many racial comments is because the black population in New Orleans is OUT OF CONTROL. Too much welfare in an area busting with available jobs. No REAL leadership.
Maybe the feds should look into David Treens personal finances and see if he is squeeky clean. Edwards, and his cronies, are STILL robbing Louisiana blind.
RP has been seen NUMEROUS times in the casinos. This is NOT an idolated incident. He is very vulnerable to organized crime and those guys are pros at hooking you. They recruit victims in the casinos. They only need one little thing againsts you then they will OWN you until you can no longer be profitable to them. He better watch his back.
Congress is now above the law. That's why Jefferson won't step down, he thinks that he is above the law. Hopefully, the feds will nail this dog and his entire crooked, corrupt family. I wish the worst for these leeches on society.
I wouldn't touch RP with a ten foot pole. He is a gambler, and will put the program in jeopardy. He may owe people money and they WILL NOT let him off the hook. Some of you people need to learn how to spell.
Will the assessments of Betty Jefferson and Tom Arnold be reviewed so we can make sure that Uptown isn't the only viable, respected, tax paying area in NOLA ? If the assessments are low in those and other districts, can the feds PLEASE audit the personal finances of Betty, Tom, et al. because there MUST be payoffs going on.
We will get no sympathy from the rest of the USA because of our propensity to house section 8, welfare sucking, food stamp selling, no working, give me more IDIOTS in this city. Thanks to Marc Morial, Ray Nagin, Sidney Bartholemwhatever, Dutch Morial, Bill Jefferson, Eddie Jordan, every hyphenated woman politician.
kfhoney: The real problem is in Congress, where there is an affinity for ENTITLEMENT programs. These programs promote laziness but above all take the dignity, integrity, work ethic, and self worth right out of the individual it is supposed to help. If you are physically unable to work, I got your back. If you are cripple or blind or suffer from a terrible illness, I got your back. If you are just lazy and sticking it to the man (the majority of welfare recipients) then I don't care at all about you. Get off your rear and do something constructive and REWARDING.
Unfortunatley, there is an entire culture of takers who just don't know what they are really missing. But I am paying for it and am sick and tired of it.
NYCrules: They would be up the Mississippi without a paddle ! How do you think I feel spending $20,000 per year to EDUCATE my children in Catholic schools because of the INFERIOR education, provided by my tax dollars, in public school. But I can't get a tax break on the money I pay in to these JPSB clowns. And on top of that, they are allowing Orleans parish kids into Jefferson Parish magnet schools, and denying JP kids admission because there is "not enough room".
kfhoney: It has to do with accountability. Read the USA Today and read the comments from around the nation. People from EVERY state are EQUALLY racist. It just so happens that the South has a larger percentage of blacks than the rest of the country. Thus the vast amount of welfare recipients here. Whites are fed up with blacks because a disproportionate amount of crime is commited by blacks. The stats aren't even close. The blacks are fed up with whites who demand accountability because those who are respectable are embarrassed by their brethren.
If you have LESS students, you need LESS money to operate. DUH.
I heard, on the radio, the honors kid (NO School) that was subduded by the deputy and he could hardly form a sentence.

- First time since 1983 4 different cars have won the first 4 races
- Grosjean is the first French driver since Jean Alesi in 1998 to be on the podium.
- Vettel, Raikkonen, Grosjean and Webber made it a Renault engine 1-2-3-4 following from Mercedes' 1-2-3 in China. Last time this happened was in the Luxembourg GP 1997
- This is now the 8th time out of 9 Lewis Hamilton has started P2 alongside Vettel and not won the race. The only time he did was in Abu Dhabi 2011, when Vettel had a tyre failure just after the first corner. Lewis then led, took command of and won the race.
Interesting Race Notes
- Red Bull had the two fastest pit stops in the race today, when they double stopped Webber and Vettel during the same lap for their second stops.
- Eric Boullier was bullish when asked if Raikkonen would have passed Vettel had Grosjean let him past a lap earlier and said they were no team orders at all. Grosjean decided whether and if to let Kimi past.
- Renault reckons the reason Raikkonen had pace over Vettel in the first two stints was because he was running fresh, new tyres compared to Vettel's used tyres. On the last stint, when both Vettel and Kimi went to a fresh set of medium tyres, the Red Bull's apparent pace advantage allowed Vettel to safely pull away.
- Button had a problem with the exhaust, then a tyre puncture and finally had a differential failure to end his race a couple of laps to the end.
- Felipe Massa came P8 & scored 2 points today and became the last driver from outside the "3 new teams" to score points. He finished just 7 seconds off Alonso, good set up in performance from him.
- Paul Di Resta was the only driver to make a 2 stop strategy work. It turned out to be very close though, he said to the team that in Turn 8 on the last corner he "lost grip incredibly" hitting the "cliff" of tyre performance. He managed to just hold off Alonso by less than a car lenghts worth to finish a fantastic P6 on a difficult weekend for Force India.
- Maldonado had a puncture when he spun going onto the kerb at Turn 2. He later retired due to damaged sustained from the punctured tyre.
- First time this year neither Sauber drivers scored a point.
- Kimi Raikkonen was back to his 2003-2005 best and was disappointed to have not overtaken Vettel at "the one chance he had".
- Niether of Rosberg's incidents have been penalised. I cover this more further down in the article.
- In a season where McLaren is believed to have the fastest car, Vettel and Red Bull lead the championships going into the European leg of the season. It's not all doom and gloom with that news however, McLaren are just behind and Lewis Hamilton's consistency could prove crucial for the championship result.
Pit Lane Team Radio Highlights
2012 F1 Bahrain Grand Prix Pit Channel Team… by Mattzel89
These are highlights of the messages on the pit lane feed, lots of which haven't been broadcast on the world
What happened to McLaren (Negative)?
McLaren had two significant, worrying issues during the race -
(1) Pitstop nightmare: All 3 of Hamilton's stops. The reason behind all of them was a cross threaded wheel nut on the left rear tyre. Note it was a left rear tyre issue in China for Button too that took away his chance to challenge Nico for victory. Hamilton's first stop saw Button, Alonso and Webber overtake him. His second stop was even longer whilst his third stop was comparatively better at 5.4 seconds.
McLaren have said they'll thoroughly investigate the issues they're having. Lewis Hamilton was calm in the post race interview but did say "with pit stop problems we threw away crucial championship points". For the second stop, McLaren did actually try a different mechanic on the left rear with the same result. Martin Whitmarsh said that they had a "captive wheelnut" system in development. In that system the wheelnut is embedded into the tyre itself. It was pioneered by Mercedes in 2010, who use the system in their DTM series. Ferrari have adapted this system this year to have the fastest stop his year so far. Whitmarsh was cautious about it however, saying it had it's fair share of issues too.
(2) Tyre Issues and lack of pace: Their bigger issue in the race however was a distinct lack of pace compared to the Red Bulls are Lotus cars (Lotii?). The track temperature today was significantly cooler than yesterday in qualifying where McLaren was strong and they believe it played a crucial part. The Pirelli tyres this year especially narrow "range of operation". McLaren couldn't hit that today, similar to Mercedes and McLaren in Malaysia.
Neither driver was happy with the balance of the car. During the stints both Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton were complaining of their rear tyres fading away and thus having a lack of grip. Button revealed after the race they kept removing front wing to improve the balance. It got better, hence the better pace after the 2nd stop but by then it was far too late.
What happened to Red Bull (positive)?
Why were Vettel and Red Bull so fast this weekend? The reason Red Bull had such an improvement this weekend is thought to be down to a new exhaust and redesigned sidepods. They've gone for a downwash system covered here in detail that resembles the Sauber and McLaren system.
Christian Horner said the exhaust was a further evolution of the system in place for Webber in China. He said that it was Adrian Newey's idea in China to run the vastly different systems in China to get vital information regarding the car's rear area and behaviour. They then analysed the data over the week to come up with this system in Bahrain which is a significant step forward.
I tweeted on Friday (please ignore my poor grammar using 'more happy' instead of 'happier') that the Red Bull was looking a lot better, more akin to it's behaviour in the last two years where it appeared to be glued to the circuit. The middle sector is the only high downforce segment of the circuit and the Red Bull drivers were indeed 1-2 fastest in qualifying in that sector.
Red Bull and Vettel look a lot more happy & comfortable right now. They do have some minor exhaust & diffuser updates here #f1 #Skyf1— Literal F1 (@LiteralF1) April 20, 2012
There's a bit more I believe to it than simple technical upgrades. Having a fast car alone is not enough, as Lotus have shown before this weekend, unable to extract the potential of the car. When the car has the downforce, the drivers can push it to the limits with more confidence. Vettel especially is more comfortable carrying speed into the corners. We've seen with Nico Rosbergin China how in a super tight field just how much of a difference driver performance can make and I believe that was a super lap from the double world champion to stick it on pole.
Rosberg Incidents & Force India Blackout
To finish notes, here is a brilliant tweet from Alonso regarding the decisions made on the two moves Rosberg made. I've linked you to the official steward's report explaining their reasoning for not penalising Rosberg for either but as Alonso cheekily points out, a penalty was necessary to send the right message across that this sort of behaviour on track is not encouraged.
I think you are going to have fun in future races! You can defend position as you want and you can overtake outside the track! Enjoy! ))— Fernando Alonso (@alo_oficial) April 22, 2012
There was also a paddock understanding this week that Force India was not shown on the FOM world feed in qualifying as a "payback" for them missing FP2.
When I worked for FOM it was well known that the punishment for stepping out of line was a TV Blackout …… #F1#Forceindia— Nick Daman (@rcracing) April 21, 2012
EliGP from Autosport tweeted this picture which made me laugh.
Jake Humphrey and Gary Anderson for BBC F1 left their microphones during the Q2 and Q3 session. The session was not broadcast live but incredibly, footage of it has ended up on the internet. Watch and smile/laugh, it's priceless!

Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Liquid Soap
Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Liquid Soap Reviews
A Unique, Tingling Clean!I just wrote reviews noting how much I love Neutrogena's "Rainbath Bath and Shower Gel" and Dove's "Go Fresh Cool Moisture Body Wash with Nutrium Moisture (Cucumber and Green Tea)." But I'm fickle. I love the BEST shower products available. How would you feel about an all-natural bath and shower gel that has at least eighteen uses, is never tested on animals, and works unusually well? Try Dr. ...read moreBronner's "Peppermint Pure Castile Soap." You'll do yourself--and your loved ones--a huge favor! Although Dr. Bronner's is available in a wide variety of scents, peppermint is their most popular. It will actually want to make you get up in the morning and get going (did I actually just type that)? The peppermint essential oil can be used from head to toe for an exhilarating, tingling sensation which refreshes beyond description, a special delight if you've been working hard and want true renewal. The creamy, emollient lather cleans thoroughly, dissolving dirt completely. Available in a large range of sizes at Dr. Bronner's site ($2.99 for two ounces to $59.99 for a gallon), the formula also contains Organic Coconut and Olive Oils, Glycerin, Organic Hemp and Jojoba Oils, Citric Acid, Vitamin E, and Sea Salt. What else makes this unique? The tender nature of this product allows you to use it to brush your teeth with it (yes, you did read that correctly), clean dentures, use safely on babies and pets(!), and even wash delicate clothing, such as wool. Sinus problems, headache, clogged pores, or just a need to feel like a new person? Rinse a wash cloth in a mixture of water and Dr. Bronner's and lay over face and head, massaging gently into scalp. Sore, tired feet? A soak in this will renew them and make you want to dance! How best to convince you of its benefits? We had a thirty-two ounce bottle in our shower ($16.99). I used it several times and then it disappeared. I asked my husband if he had seen it. With a red face he said, "The dog and I used it. We like it a lot."

I'm not a fan of using it as shampoo, but as hand soap and/or body wash is ROCKS! Everyone in my family is a big fan of this stuff and I can't keep it around enough.

Great for hangovers or general morning blasThe peppermint is a great eye opener if you are not feeling well or your head is a bit stuffy. I have used it for the "soothing body rub" as described on the 32 oz bottle label and it is a great all-over refresher when you can't/don't' want to take a shower. It is a "smack you in the face" fresh! — 1 year, 1 month agoNotJustGingerly | 135 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
Multi-phase fluid flow in a pipeline or other flowline is monitored using a combination of flow type detectors. One set of detectors monitors the interfaces between fluid interfaces and the other monitors the presence of different fluid phases around the periphery of the flowline. The relative volumetric fluid flow rates can be measured by detecting changes in the phase interfaces between two sets of sensor rings using sensors spaced around the flowline with the fluid flow type being detected across the flowline with an annular capacitance detector. The sensor rings typically use ultrasonic transducers for detecting the phase interfaces while the capacitance device indicates the presence (or absence) of different phases around the periphery of the flowline. By combining the outputs of the different detectors, an indication of the flow phenomena in the flowline can be obtained. The flowrate in the line can be measured directly using a concentrically oriented set of hot wire anemometers or a concentrically oriented set of thermopiles spaced equally around the flowline in conjunction with the annular capacitance device.
1. Apparatus for measuring multi-phase flow in a flowline comprising:
at least two sensor ring means being positioned on said flowline and spaced from each other, each of said two sensor ring means having sensors spaced equally around the flowline for detecting changes in the phase interfaces within the flowline as the multi-phase flow passes therethrough, and
at least one annular capacitance detector spaced from each of said at least two sensor ring means for determining fluid flow type across the flowline.
2. Apparatus according to claim 1 in which the sensor rings comprise ultrasonic transducers.
3. Apparatus according to claim 1 in which the annular capacitance detector includes a concentrically oriented set of capacitance plates for the purpose of measuring the areal extent of each fluid phase in the flowline.
4. Apparatus according to claim 3 in which the capacitance plates are divided into a predetermined number of arcs of discrete capacitance.
5. Apparatus according to claim 1 also means, for measuring gas flow rate and for correlating the measured gas flow rate with the fluid flow rates determined by the sensors.
6. Apparatus according to claim 1 including a concentrically oriented set of hot wire anemometers or a concentrically oriented set of thermopiles for measuing flow rate in the flowline.
7. A method for measuring multi-phase fluid flow in a flowline comprising the steps of:
determining phase interfaces in the multi-phase fluid flow at a first location with a sensor ring having sensors spaced around the flowline,
determining the phase interfaces in the multi-phase fluid flow at a second location, downstream of the first location with a sensor ring having sensors spaced around the flowline,
detecting changes in the phase interfaces from the first location to the second location; and
determining fluid flow type across the flowline using an annular capacitance detector.
8. The method according to claim 7 in which the fluid flow type across the flowline is determined by measuring the areal extent of each fluid phase in the flowline with a concentrically oriented set of capacitance plates.
9. The method according to any of claims 6 to 8 which includes the step of measuring the gas flow rate with means for measuring gas flow rate and correlating the measured gas flow rate with the fluid flow measurements of the sensors.
This application is a continuation in part of application Ser. No. 08/633,269, filed Apr. 16, 1996, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to measuring the volumes and flow rates and more particularly to measuring volumes and flow rates of multiphase fluids containing liquid hydrocarbon, water and gas in well heads and pipelines.
In current practice, measurements of single phase flow are made using ultrasonics, such as Doppler shift in liquids which carry suspended solid particles, and various types of spinners, such as gas flow gauges. Two phase liquid flow can also be measured by using ultrasonics, such as Controllotron™ ultrasonic gauges, to precisely locate the liquid to liquid interface. Intrusive capacitance gauges are also used to identify the composition of a liquid in a pipe. Finally, in prior art, ultrasonics are used to recognize slug flow, such as, a liquid slug in a gas flow or a gas slug in a liquid flow.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,215,567 (Vicek) describes a method and apparatus for testing a production stream comprised of oil, water, and gas flowing through a conduit to determine the percentages of oil, water, and gas in the stream. A sample portion of the production stream is pumped through a sample line into a sample chamber where it is heated and allowed to remain for a retention period to substantially separate the sample portion into oil and water layers. Gas that evolves from the sample portion is vented from the chamber. At the end of the retention period, the sample portion is pumped back through the sample line into the conduit. As the sample portion flows through the same line the oil and water content of the sample and the volume of the sample are measured to determine the oil and water percentages in the sample portion. Also, the volume of the sample portion is measured as it is pumped through the sample line into the sample chamber and by comparing this volume with the volume of the sample portion pumped back into the conduit, the gas-liquid ratio of the sample portion can be determined.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,246,145 (Higgins) describes a system for determining the relative density of a liquid. The system includes a test chamber into which the liquid is introduced for testing purposes. A radioactive source is positioned on one side of the chamber for directing radiation through the chamber by way of the liquid in the chamber, and a radiation detector is positioned on the other side of the chamber for detecting radiation passing through the liquid and the chamber. At least a portion of the walls of the chamber between the source and the detector are of material relatively transparent to low energy radiation. With such structure, the low energy radiation will be allowed to pass freely from the source into the liquid and from the liquid to the detector. An energy discriminator responsive to only a predetermined low energy range is interconnected with the detector, and interconnected with the discriminator is a recorder for recording an indication of the radiation detected within the low energy range.
The problem not answered in prior art is to measure a three phase flow such as the combination of oil, water and gas in a single flowline. To date there is no monitoring device which can perform this function. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for measuring three phase flow and also for determining the flow regime in the pipe whether it is slug flow, stratified flow or annular flow.
The present invention relates to measuring three phase flow of fluids, i.e. liquid hydrocarbon, water and gas in a single flowline, through a pipe. These devices may be installed at or near well heads in a producing oil and gas condensate field to monitor the contribution of each phase from each well over time. The combined flow of the well heads may be directed to a large diameter gathering line and conducted to an offshore platform or onshore surface facility with a separator. Total flow from the grouping of wells may be monitored at the separator, and ratios of each fluid calculated for each well. In this fashion, daily monitoring of each well is done and changes in fluid types are noted. A problem well, one in which an increase in unwanted fluids such as water or gas occurs, could be easily identified and remedial action on that well could taken. The present invention uses the flow measuring technologies of ultrasonic sound and electrical capacitance.
According to the present invention, the apparatus for measuring multi-phase fluid flow in a flowline comprises a ring of sensor detectors spaced equally around the flowline for detecting phase interfaces within the flowline; and an annular capacitance detector for determining fluid flow type along and across the flowline.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention consists of two rings of ultrasonic sensors and one ring of capacitance plates. The ultrasonic rings may be comprised of four transducers each located at the top of the pipe, the bottom of the pipe and at the midpoint of the pipe sides fully orthogonal to the top and bottom transducers. The positioning of each transducer and the location of the two rings provides the desired information about the location and motion of gas-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces within the pipe.
The capacitance ring may have a pair of capacitance plates oriented concentrically within the pipe very close to the pipe wall. The pipe wall itself may be used as a capacitance plate if the proper material were used. The capacitance ring may be electrically isolated into approximately twelve arcs around the circumference of the pipe. Each arc registers the dielectric constance of the fluid flowing over that portion of the annulus and is used to determine the composition of the fluid, whether water, liquid hydrocarbon or gas. The capacitor plates are also open to influxing fluid. This allows measurement of the dielectric constant of the influxing fluid to distinguish water from hydrocarbon, and possibly oil from gas across the flowline. The measurement of capacitance is indicated by a capacitance indicator. Taken together with the output from the ultrasonic sensors, the capacitance measurement indicates the type of fluid flow occurring in the flowline and the relative volumetrics of the fluid flows.
By mapping the internal volumetrics of the three phases using the present invention, the relative proportions of each fluid at each well-head may be measured. The ratios of these fluids to the total production volumes monitored at the field separator is used to monitor well-head production of each phase over time.
FIG. 1 illustrates a section of pipe with two rings of ultrasonic transducers and a capacitance ring between the two rings of ultrasonic transducers.
FIG. 2 illustrates a detail of the capacitance ring of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 illustrates a cross-section of the pipe with four ultrasonic transducers and the capacitance ring with gas in the center of the pipe surrounded by liquid hydrocarbon and water.
FIG. 4 illustrates stratified flow with water on the low side of the pipe overlain by liquid hydrocarbon and gas.
FIG. 5 illustrates the pipe as depicted in FIG. 1 with water, liquid hydrocarbon and gas slugs predicting the appearance of slug flow regime in the pipe.
FIG. 6 illustrates the use of a gas flow venturi meter in combination with the other sensors.
Referring to FIG. 1, the multiphase monitoring tool is illustrated on pipe section 12 with three measurement sensor rings 14, 16 and 18. Measurement sensor rings 14, 16 and 18 are preferably mounted within pipe section 12 prior to installation in a pipeline. In the alternative, each sensor ring may be mounted within a portion of pipe section 12 to be joined together at a later time. The pipe is shown in a horizontal position but the tool will function with the pipe in other angular positions, e.g. at angles intermediate horizontal and the vertical.
Measurement sensor ring 14 consists of ultrasonic transducers 20, 22, 24 and 26 and measurement sensor ring 16 consists of ultrasonic transducers 28, 30, 32 and 34, each set mounted orthogonal to each other at the top, sides and bottom of pipe section 12. These sensors are illustrated in more detail in FIGS. 3 and 4. These sensor rings may consist of more sensors, such as the ultrasonic sensor rings may consist of 8 to 16 sensors equally spaced around the internal circumference of the pipe beginning at the top. The positioning of each transducer and the location of the two rings provides the desired information about the location and changes between the gas/liquid/liquid interfaces within the pipe at the locations of the rings.
The third measurement sensor ring 18 is a concentric set of capacitance plates 36 and 38 shown in the middle of pipe section 12 in FIGS. 1 and 2. An enlargement of measurement sensor ring 18 is shown in FIG. 2. The concentric arrangement of capacitance plates 36 and 38 has several non-conducting dividers 40 resulting in the creation of several individual capacitance arcs 42-64 within the ring. There are twelve arcs in the present invention, however, other embodiments of the present invention might contain more or fewer arcs. For example, the concentrically oriented set of capacitance plates used for the purpose of measuring the areal extent of each fluid phase in the annulus of the pipe can be divided into 8 to 24 arcs of discrete capacitance depending on sensitivity needed. Each arc registers the capacitance and hence the dielectric constant of the fluid flowing over that portion of the annulus and in so doing provides an indication of the composition of the fluid flow at that point--water, liquid hydrocarbon or gas.
In FIG. 1 wiring coming from each measurement sensor in both ultrasonic measurement sensor ring 14 and 16 and capacitance measurement sensor ring 18 are illustrated as connecting to computer 19 which is located a central facility (not shown) to monitor the measurement sensor installations. The sensor data obtained by measurement sensor rings 14, 16 and 18 will provide an accurate measurement of the cross-sectional area of pipe section 12 for each fluid phase. By measuring the elapsed time for a specific phase interface differential to move between the two spaced apart ultrasonic sensor rings, it is possible to derive a measurement of the flow rate in the pipe. A series of phase measurements derived from the cross-sections could then be summed to arrive at the relative volume flows for each phase. By measuring the combined flow of all wells at an installation (probably at a separator in a centralized facility), it is possible to measure the relative contribution of each well-head for each fluid type.
A number of different flow regimes may be encountered at producing well-heads. FIG. 3 shows the measurement theory applied to recognizing and monitoring annular flow. Annular flow typically occurs when gas rates and overall production rates are high. The gas moves within the center of the pipe and liquids move through the annulus between the gas bubble and the pipe wall.
In annular flow, the capacitance plates around the inside wall of the pipe should indicate water through all 360 degrees in the situation illustrated in FIG. 3. In the figures, gas is illustrated as white, liquid hydrocarbon is illustrated as having lines slanted to the left, (from bottom to top) and water is illustrated as having lines slanted to the right (from bottom to top). The gas/liquid interface can be detected by the ultrasonic signal from the transducers. A very strong reflection will occur at the interface, and the travel time from the transducer to that interface and back will be easily measured. More difficult is the liquid/liquid interface of the oil and water which positioned between the gas the transducer. This interface is found using ultrasonics in two-phase liquid flow technology. With the present invention, it is then possible to identify the relative area occupied by all three fluids in the pipe.
By monitoring the changing ratios of the areas and by having a total volume rate measured at a collecting location, it is then possible to back out the relative rates of flow for the three phases and their change through time.
FIG. 4 shows an example of stratified flow. This flow regime can be detected and measured using both the capacitance ring and the ultrasonics sensors. The capacitance permits determination of what area of the pipe wall or other flowline wall is occupied by gas, water and liquid hydrocarbon. The ultrasonic sensor also perform a diagnostic function. Top transducer 32 will not be able to propagate a sonic wave through the gas. Side transducers 30 and 34 will also probably receive no return signal unless the gas/liquid interface happens to occur perpendicular to each transducer. Bottom transducer 28, however, should get a clear sign of the gas/liquid interface. The transmitted and received signal from transducer 28, plus the capacitance data should allow for areal computation.
Alternative embodiments of the present invention might have more ultrasonic transducers in measurement sensor ring 14 in order better image the gas/liquid interface. For example, six, eight or even ten transducers might be needed to accurately image the stratified fluid flow illustrated.
FIG. 5 illustrates a slug flow regime in pipe 12. Again capacitance ring 18 provides information as to the location of the liquid/liquid interface and the ultrasonic measurement sensor rings 14 and 16 detect the gas slugs moving along the pipe. Knowing the precise distance between measurement sensor rings 14 and 16 allows further volumetric computations for the gas portion of flow.
Other embodiments of the present invention may be designed to measure flow rates of the fluids directly, particularly near the outside rim of the annulus. For example, a second capacitance ring near the first may indicate rapid small scale changes in the liquids which indicate their speed. For example, a wavy liquid-to-liquid or gas-to-liquid interface may move along the annulus, and its velocity may be measured as just described by the two spaced apart sensors. Another embodiment may be to install a sparker just upstream of the first measurement sensor ring 14 with its transducers. Short bursts of bubbles could be generated and their travel time moving with the liquid between measurement sensor rings 14 and 16 calculated. Thus, the liquid velocities could be measured. In other words, where a sparker is placed in the bottom of the pipe just upstream of the first sensor ring to produce a series of bubbles in the fluid flow, the bubble stream can be monitored as it passes the rings and the flow rate calculated.
The gas flow rate in the pipe may be directly and independently measured by the use of a venturi meter as shown in FIG. 6. A venturi meter 70 of conventional type is positioned upstream or downstream of the pipe section with the sensors to obtain an indication of the gas flow rate which can be combined with the flow rate measurements from the ultrasonic and capacitance sensors to obtain an indication of the relative flow rates. The output from venturi meter 70 is taken to computer 19 where it is combined with the outputs from the other sensors which can then be used to derive the information about the liquid interfaces and flows in the pipe.
Rings of temperature sensors and hot-wire anemometers could also be used for directly measuring flow rates by monitoring the in situ temperatures and the amount of cooling on successive hot wires. This disposition of these sensors would be similar to the capacitance ring and work in combination with it. This ring of sensors may include a concentrically oriented set of hot wires anemometers or thermopiles for measuring the flow rate of each fluid phase in the annulus of the pipe. This thermo-sensitive ring will be divided into 8 to 24 arcs of discrete capacitance depending on sensitivity needed. This embodiment may also include set temperature sensitive probes which monitor the temperature of the fluids in the annulus of the pipe. This temperature measurement, combined with the rate of temperature loss indicated by claim 10 will give flow rates for the fluids.

Last school year, 11-year-old Ronan Schuelke wasn't sure what to do when another boy in his class shoved him and called him names in the lunchroom.
This year, Ronan has been chosen by his peers at Stratford Middle School in Bloomingdale to star in a music video designed to teach respect through a catchy parody of a Katy Perry song.
After the school's students watch the video, Ronan and other student leaders will hand out "Stallion Medallions" to classmates who try to stop bullying or who reinforce positive behavior. Students can score a medallion for telling a classmate to stop picking on someone, by sitting with a new student at lunch or by committing other random acts of kindness. The tokens can be redeemed for school supplies, tickets to plays or other small rewards. The school's mascot is a stallion.
"I think this (concept) is something the kids will pick up ... and maybe try it," Ronan said.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
35:5-10 When Christ shall come to set up his kingdom in the world, then wonders, great wonders, shall be wrought on men's souls. By the word and Spirit of Christ, the spiritually blind were enlightened; and those deaf to the calls of God were made to hear them readily. Those unable to do any thing good, by Divine grace were made active therein. Those that knew not how to speak of God or to God, had their lips opened to show forth his praise. When the Holy Ghost came upon the Gentiles that heard the word, then were the fountains of life opened. Most of the earth is still a desert; neither means of grace, spiritual worshippers, nor fruits of holiness, are to be found in it. But the way of religion and godliness shall be laid open. The way of holiness is the way of God's commandment; it is the good old way. And the way to heaven is a plain way. Those knowing but little, and unlearned, shall be kept from missing the road. It shall be a safe way; nothing can do them any real hurt. Christ, the way to God, shall be clearly made known; and the way of a believer's duty shall be plainly marked out. Let us then go forward cheerfully, assured that the end of this way shall be everlasting joy, and rest for the soul. Those who by faith are made citizens of the gospel Zion, rejoice in Christ Jesus; and their sorrows and sighs are made to flee away by Divine consolations. Thus these prophecies conclude. Our joyful hopes and prospects of eternal life should swallow up all the sorrows and all the joys of this present time. But of what avail is it to admire the excellence of God's word, unless we can call its precious promises our own? Do we love God, not only as our Creator, but because he gave his only Son to die for us? And are we walking in the ways of holiness? Let us try ourselves by such plain questions, rather than spend time on things that may be curious and amusing, but are unprofitable.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 8. - And an highway shall be there, and a way (comp. Isaiah 30:21). There shall be a clear "way" marked out in which all shall be bound to walk - a "strait and narrow way" doubtless (Matthew 7:14), but one not readily missed. The way shall be called The way of holiness. It shall be that path through the dangers and difficulties of life which holiness points out and requires. The unclean shall not pass over it. It is tempting to imagine that there is here a reference to the famous chinvat peretu of the Zoro-astrians - the "bridge of the gatherer" - along which all souls had to pass in order to reach the abode of the blessed, but which the souls of the wicked never succeeded in passing ('Ancient Monarchies,' vol. it. p. 339). The 'bridge of the gatherer" is, however, in the other world, not in this world; but Isaiah's "highway" is here. It is that right course of life, which "the unclean" do not follow, though they might do so if they chose, but which the righteous follow to their great gain and advantage. But it shall be for those; rather, as in the margin, but he shall be with them; God, i.e. shall be with those who seek to walk in the way, and not to err from it. He shall direct them, support them, sustain their footsteps. The wayfaring men; rather, they that walk in the way - that make up their minds to try to walk in it. Though fools; i.e. however simple and unlearned they may be - "Ne simplicissimi quidem" (Rosenmüller). Shall not err therein; shall not wander from the way through mere simplicity. It shall be easy to find, difficult to miss.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
And an highway shall be there, and a way,.... Not two ways, but one; the way shall be a highway, a way cast up, raised, and "elevated" (y); this is to be understood principally of Christ, the only way of life and salvation; and of the lesser paths of duty and ordinances: and the meaning is, that in those desert places, where Christ and his Gospel had not been preached, at least for many ages, here he should be made known, as the way, the truth, and the life; his Gospel preached, and his ordinances administered; and multitudes, both of Jews and Gentiles, should be directed and enabled to walk here. Christ is a highway to both; a way cast up by sovereign grace, which is raised above the mire and dirt of sin, and carries over it, and from it; a way visible and manifest, clearly pointed to and described in the everlasting Gospel; it is the King's highway, the highway of the King of kings, which he has ordered and appointed, and is common to all his subjects, high and low, rich and poor, stronger or weaker believers, all may walk in this way; it is an old beaten path, which saints in all ages, from the beginning of the world, have walked in; it is the good old way, the more excellent, the most excellent one; all obstructions and impediments are removed, cast in by sin, Satan, the law, and the world; nor is anyone to be stopped and molested in this way, and all in it shall come safe to their journey's end:
and it shall be called The way of holiness; or, "a holy way" (z); Christ is perfectly holy in nature and life, and the holiness of both is imputed to those that are in this way; all in this way are sanctified by the Spirit and grace of God; this way leads to perfect holiness in heaven, and none but holy persons walk here: salvation by Christ no ways discourages the practice of holiness, but is the greatest motive and incentive to it. Christ leads his people in paths of righteousness; in the paths of truth, of ordinances, and of worship, public and private, all which are holy; and in the path of Gospel conversation and godliness: this way is so holy, that
the unclean shall not pass over it; all men are unclean by nature; some are cleansed by the grace of God and blood of Christ; and though, as sanctified, they are not free from sin and the pollution of it, yet, as justified, they are "the undefiled in the way"; and none but such can pass over, or pass through this way to heaven, Revelation 21:27,
but it shall be for those; for holy men, not for the unclean; for Israel only, as Kimchi, for such who are Israelites indeed; for those who are before mentioned, Isaiah 35:5 as Jarchi; it is for those to walk in who have been blind, but now see, and these are led in a way that they knew not before; for the deaf, who now hear the voice behind them, saying, this is the way; for the lame man, that leaps like a hart, to walk and run in; for the dumb, now made to sing, and go on in it rejoicing; it is for the redeemed to walk in, as in the following verse. This clause may be rendered, "and he shall be with them" (a); that is, God shall be with them; they shall have his company and gracious presence in the way; he will be with them, to guide and direct them, to supply all their wants, and furnish them with everything convenient for them; to support and strengthen them, on whom they may lean and stay themselves; to guard and protect them from all their enemies; and being with them they shall not miss their way, or fail of coming to the end. Hence it follows,
the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein; or travellers; such the saints are, they are strangers, pilgrims, and sojourners here; they have no continuance here; they are like wayfaring men, that abide but for a night; they are bound for another country, a better, even a heavenly one, and at last shall arrive thither: now these, though they have been "fools" in their unregenerate state, with respect to spiritual things; or though they may not have that sharpness of wit, and quickness of natural parts, as some men have; and though they may not have that clear and distinct knowledge of Gospel truths as others, at least of some of them, yet shall not err as to the way of salvation; and though they may err or mistake in some things, yet not in the main, not fundamentally, nor finally; the way of salvation by Christ is so plain a way, that he that has any spiritual understanding of it shall not err in it.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
8. highway—such a causeway (raised way, from a Hebrew root, "to cast up") as was used for the march of armies; valleys being filled up, hills and other obstructions removed (Isa 62:10; compare Isa 40:3, 4).
way of holiness—Hebraism for "the holy way." Horsley translates, "the way of the Holy One;" but the words that follow, and Isa 35:10, show it is the way leading the redeemed back to Jerusalem, both the literal and the heavenly (Isa 52:1; Joe 3:17; Re 21:27); still Christ at His coming again shall be the Leader on the way, for which reason it is called, "The way of the Lord" (Isa 40:3; Mal 3:1).
it shall be for those: the wayfaring men—rather, "He (the Holy One) shall be with them, walking in the way" [Horsley].
though fools—rather, "And (even) fools," that is, the simple shall not go astray, namely, because "He shall be with them" (Mt 11:25; 1Co 1:26-28).
