The coupling includes a first element having a plug-in opening, a second element insertable into the plug-in opening, a retaining device for detachably holding the first and second elements together, and a valve, insertable into the plug-in opening, located on a front face of the second element.
|TECHNIQUES FOR JOINING LINED PIPELINES - A connector for lined pipelines includes a tube having opposed male interface elements extending inwardly from respective ends of the tube. One or more circumferential permeable chokes project radially from each male interface element. The chokes minimise flow of oxidising fluid from the bore into the micro-annulus between the liner and the pipe while maximising flow of fluid from the micro-annulus into the bore in the event of catastrophic pressure drop in the bore. To maintain gaps between the tube ends and the pipe liners for fluid flow, shoulder formations defined by radially-projecting bands extend circumferentially around the tube. The connector may be used in a joint arrangement where each liner includes a body section, an end section of lesser thickness and greater bore than the body section that terminates short of an end of the pipe, an inner step disposed between the body section and the end section, and an outer step disposed between the end section and the pipe.

The fluid conduit connector apparatus includes a port portion having a valve disposed therein. The valve closes to provide a reduced fluid orifice when a fluid conduit is removed from the port. The reduced fluid orifice is configured to provide pneumatic characteristics of the device being disconnected to facilitate uninterrupted operation of a timed pressure source having pneumatic sensing capability.
|VALVE STRUCTURE - A valve structure may include a valve body having a plurality of connecting tubes; a resilient cover, one end of which forming a ring portion and the other of which having a tapered cone portion, and the resilient cover plugs into the connecting tube through the cone portion to form a restricting position; a connecting unit that is tubular, having a tubular connecting section and a plugging section, and the plugging section plugs into the through hole of the resilient cover, so the second stopping surface is against the ring portion of the resilient cover; and a locking cover covering the tubular connecting section of the connecting unit to secure the connecting unit and the resilient cover at the connecting tube of the valve body.
|Female Quick-Connect Coupling Element, and a Quick-Connect Coupling Incorporating Such an Element - This female quick-coupling element for a quick-connect coupling is able to cooperate with a male coupling element. A control ring is able to move in translation along a longitudinal axis between a first position and a second position. A blocking member prevents translation of the control ring as far as its second position. An element for the elastic return of a piston, integral in transverse movement with the blocking member, to its internal position is mounted in a housing of the first coupling element situated outside the housing of the piston, and fluidically isolated from the fluid-flow conduit. The first coupling element comprises transmission means, disposed between the return element and the piston, to return the piston to its internal position.
|EXTENDED RUN FITTING - A method of installing a pipe fitting that includes providing a pipe fitting including an extended run portion having a length that is greater than a length of the opposing run portion of the pipe fitting, and removing a portion of a line of pipe to provide an opening. The extended run portion of the pipe fitting is slid over the first end of the line of pipe within the opening formed in the line of pipe. The pipe fitting may then be moved to a second position by sliding the opposing run portion of the pipe fitting over the second end of the line of pipe, while the extended run portion of the pipe fitting is still present over the first end of the line of pipe. The pipe fitting is fused to the first and second end of the line of pipe.
|MEDICAL CONNECTORS WITH FLUID-RESISTANT MATING INTERFACES - A connector system for medical fluid includes a male connector and a female connector that have a closed configuration when detached from one another. The first end of the male connector is configured to mate with a first end of the female connector. When the male connector is coupled with the female connector, complementary structures engage to move seals away from ports in the male connector and the female connector, opening a fluid pathway through the connectors. The mating ends of the connectors are not exposed to the medical fluid when the connectors are coupled so that when the connectors are disconnected, the mating ends are substantially free of residual medical fluid.
|Fuel Can Adapter - A fuel can adapter is adapted to connect a fuel can to a fuel device. Once the fuel can adapter is connected therebetween, the fuel can adapter is operable in one operation position to cause fuel in the fuel can to be discharged and flow through it to the fuel device, and another operation position that fuel in the fuel can would not flow thereout.

I wanted to share this with my readers since every time a dangerous anti-supplement bill is introduced I want my readers to have the tools to fight it with all they have. This means writing your representatives and telling them how you feel, and that you want them to vote down this dangerous proposal so you can enjoy any supplement you want, unencumbered with high costs and limited availability that surely would occur if supplements were limited by senseless acts of bureaucracy.
Senator Durbin has just reintroduced S. 1425, the Dietary Supplement Labeling Act. As your constituent, I ask you to oppose this very dangerous legislation.
The bill requires that the FDA, together with the Institute of Medicine, compile a list of dietary ingredients ( supplements) that could possibly lead to adverse events or are otherwise deemed risky in some way — based on completely arbitrary or nonexistent standards. Moreover, once an ingredient or supplement is on the list, there is no clear process to challenge the FDA and IOM determination, not even if new or contradictory evidence comes to light.
Sen. Durbin has said his bill is designed to stop "mislabeling products and making health claims that have no scientific basis" and "marketing supplements with impure or incorrectly identified ingredients." If that's the case, the senator should be pleased to know that each of those things is already against the law! In fact, almost all of the bill's provisions are already covered by existing law, and the few that aren't covered are so vague that they could mean whatever the FDA wants them to mean.
DSHEA, the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act, GMP standards, and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act all ensure the safety of nutritional supplements and provide guidelines for clear and comprehensive labeling. This bill uses vague language to create extraneous red tape, paperwork, and burdensome labeling requirements, when everything the bill mandates other than its new and entirely arbitrary disapproval process is already being accomplished under current law! What is needed is enforcement, not new legislation.
This bill may also have far-reaching consequences. For example, if the FDA and IOM draw up their arbitrary list of "safe" supplements and amounts — such as no vitamin D in amounts greater than 4000 IU — as provided for in this bill, more therapeutic supplement doses or preparations would never meet the new hurdle set by the FDA's guidance on New Dietary Ingredients, if that is allowed to go forward.
The Dietary Supplement Labeling Act gives government agencies the right to say no to safe and healthful nutritional supplements on unknown and completely arbitrary grounds. It's a naked FDA power grab, an attempt to move us one step closer to a full FDA pre-approval system for supplements. This could all have a profoundly negative impact on our nation's health and our healthcare costs.
For one thing, it would make supplements insanely expensive, like drugs — if you could get them at all. The cost of pre-approval for supplements would be so prohibitive for producers that most supplements would simply disappear from the shelf. Let's not forget that the average cost for drug pre-approval has reached $1 billion and that supplements, unlike drugs, have no patent protection.
Please oppose the Dietary Supplement Labeling Act!

MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE columnist C.J. has a followup on the domestic assault allegation last weekend against former Minnesota Viking lineman Esera Tuaolo.
Sunday Tuaolo was charged in Ramsey County with domestic assault, assault and disorderly conduct. According to court records in the case, a judge gave Tuaolo a domestic abuse-related no-contact order with the victim. Tuaolo was released on $2,000 bail Monday. A hearing is scheduled for August.
Tuaolo, who has acknowledged being gay, confirmed to C.J. that the alleged assault victim was his current boyfriend.
Tuaolo to C.J.:
"I still love him, he still loves me. I've apologized. It's just one of those things that got blown out of proportion. And now that the state has control of it, I guess they are going to run with it."
Tuaolo, who is raising 10-year twins with his ex-partner Mitchell Wherley, said in a statement that Wherley was not involved in the assault.
Tuaolo to C.J.:
"Don't put his name in there, he's not out. I'm very embarrassed this happened. It saddens me to jump online and see how people are talking about my kids. My head is just spinning."
Don't put his name in there? Tuaolo should have thought about that before the (alleged) assault.

(50% new wood). Boudot is extremely pleased with his 99 Bâtard (he normally presents the Bâtard before the Chevalier) and with good reason. The opulent, strikingly perfumed nose explodes from the glass, in fact this is so showy that it's almost ostentatious yet nothing is out of balance. Lemon-lime aromas and a whiff of new oak lead to muscular flavors of solid breed and better definition than is typical for Bâtard or for that matter, any wine of this magnitude. For all its size and power, it remains symmetrical and solidly balanced by the ripe supporting acidity and the length is absolutely show stopping. This too is a reference standard Bâtard and while I prefer the additional complexity and detail of the Chevalier, it's a matter of preference at this level.Drink Dates: 2008-2012

Musky, truffley aromas of pear blossom, herbs and menthol. Much fuller and more powerful than the Chevalier-Montrachet but less complex and less precise today. A typically dense, broad-shouldered Batard that very young but appears to have the balance for longer-term greatness.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Domaine Etienne Sauzet's 1999 Batard-Montrachet has a fabulous nose of candied white fruits, juniper berries, poached pears, and sweet, sexy spices. It is medium-to-full-bodied, broad-shouldered, and reveals great concentration in its lush, voluptuous personality. This wine is densely packed with fruits, spices, perfume, and talcum-like flavors that linger throughout its long finish.Drink Dates: 2001-2013

Both powerful and subtle, medium-bodied, with lots of lemon and toasted oak, plus loads of fruit. Most impressive, it builds and builds on the palate, bursting with flavors on the very long finish. Needs time.Drink Dates: 2003-2010

Sometimes it pays to share. Marriott Vacations Worldwide, formerly part of hotel giant Marriott International, operates more than 50 timeshare resort properties with one-, two-, and three bedroom villas in prime vacation destinations in the US (such as California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, and Nevada) and a handful of other countries (Aruba, France, Spain, St. Thomas, the West Indies, and Thailand). The villas are jointly owned by about 400,000 people who have exclusive use of the properties for limited periods of time. Owners can also trade intervals for time at other Marriott Vacation Club resorts, or for other rewards programs. Marriott spun off Marriott Vacations as a separately-traded company in 2011.
The timeshare business -- which also includes the Grand Residences by Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, and The Ritz-Carlton Residences brands -- accounted for about 13% of Marriott's 2010 total revenues. As a result of its dragging down Marriott's business, the parent company spun off the timeshare operation. It made the separation to allow the hotel and timeshare businesses to each tailor their strategy to their own respective market segment. Under the plan, Marriott Vacations is licensing the Marriott names for its timeshare properties, and can make deals with other hotel companies. The change in ownership is not affecting timeshare owners.
Marriott Vacations continues to suffer from the market crash, even as the hotel industry shows signs of a recovery. Hotel sales are starting to benefit from an increase in business travel, while vacationing consumers remain wary as unemployment levels have yet to improve. In addition, the timeshare sales have been hurt by stricter financing practices. In the fourth quarter of 2010, Marriott's timeshare sales decreased by $2 million compared to same period in 2009.
Marriott Vacation club began in 1982 when Marriott bought a timeshare property in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Holivian Tales
Lawful Neutral
Lesser Goddess
Portfolio: Ships, sea voyages.
Domains: Law , Protection , Travel , Water
The goddess of sea travel, Osprem hears a lot of prayer from sailors caught in heavy storms. She is depicted as a beautiful woman riding a barracuda or a whale. Some of her clerics are
navigators and doctors aboard galleys, while others tend to the needs of seafaring communities near the coast. Osprem's priests teach respect for the sea and caution on the water.
Osprem is often depicted as a beautiful woman in a flowing gown, or as a dolphin, barracuda, or sperm whale. In human form, she wears a ring carved from a whale's tooth, a gift from the grandfather of all whales.

Your experience with ceramic cordless electric kettles (esp EU / UK)?
I like the idea of a ceramic kettle, like the look of this and this for our space (something mostly white, and more old fashioned looking, basically), and want to switch from plastic, but I'm worried about a couple of things... [more inside]
A weirdly paranoid question: did I ruin my electric kettle?
I think I might have misused the cleaning solution for my electric kettle, and need it confirmed that I didn't because I'm a very, very special snowflake. [more inside]
Kettle problems
My electric kettle (an older model of this design) usually shuts itself off within 10 seconds of reaching a rolling boil. For the past few weeks, it has remained boiling for much longer (on the order of minutes: long enough for me to notice and shut it off manually if I'm in another room). What are some possible causes for this, and is there any way I can try to fix it?
Oh God what have I been drinking?
I just looked inside my electric tea kettle for the first time in months and saw three large-ish blobs that look sort of like the kind of bamboo shoots you get in Chinese food. [more inside]
Enameled Cast Iron Teapot: Stovetop heating
Is it safe to heat water on the stove with an enameled cast iron teapot? [more inside]
Help me upgrade my green tea experience.
In the last month, I've become a tea drinker. I'm new to this, but I'm ready to do it right. A few questions inside. [more inside]
Bitter aftertaste in apple butter?
I just made a large batch of apple butter (~8 pecks) in a giant uncoated copper kettle, cooked on top of a wood fire for the better part of the day. The texture is great, but there is a bitter aftertaste (stronger in some parts, like those from the side of the pot, than others) that slightly worries me — what could have caused it, and is it plausibly safe to eat? [more inside]
Will it explode or just sit there?
Can I leave an empty enameled cast iron kettle on a hot woodstove? [more inside]
Help me find the perfect kettle!
I need a new kettle. Be forewarned, my wife and I are over-thinking this like five plates of beans... [more inside]
Table top coffee milk steamer for cappuccino
Hey Guys, I have a mypressi, which is a portable C02 powered espresso machine. It seems to work pretty good, but the included milk frother does not produce a true milk froth which you would expect to get when you order a cappuccino. I found the linked video on youtube and became intriqued with the steamer/water heater setup he was using. Does anyone know who manufactures that steamer? I have found a stove top model online while searching, but not the electric one used in the video. Any help would be awesome. Thanks guys and gals! Youtube Video Link ~Craig
A good electric kettle with temperature control
I'm looking for an electric kettle that will heat water to variable temperatures -- boiling for my wife's black tea, 80c or lower for my green tea. I'm in the UK. Any recommendations? [more inside]
Name that pot
What did I just buy, stoneware edition. Another thrift store find. [more inside]
Help me find some green appliances!
I need help finding the most eco-friendly and ethical small appliances (or at least, the least non-ethical and non-eco-friendly) that I can. The web resources are seriously lacking! Hope me? [more inside]
Stove/Oven Substitute
What's the best small appliance substitute for a stove/oven? [more inside]
A low steam kettle...
I want a new kettle. The problem is, I don't want it to produce much steam... [more inside]
Whistling tea kettle that doesn't destroy my hearing?
Where can I find a tea kettle that plays a melodic sound when the water boils, rather than the common high-pitched screeeeee? I heard one once, so I know they exist, but I'm having zero luck finding one. Even when they claim to be pleasant, they aren't, and buying and returning tea kettles (especially online) is getting old fast. Do you have a lovely sounding kettle? Please tell me all about it.
Electric or gas to boil the kettle?
An energy efficient cuppa? I have a 1900w (240v 10A) electric kettle, and an enamelled steel Le Creuset kettle that sits on the natural gas stove. Which is more energy efficient? [more inside]
Silver Teapot Analysis Paralysis
I'd like to buy Mrs. Whuuuu a silver teapot/tea service/something similar but I don't want to get taken for a ride. [more inside]
Electric kettles with a water reservoir
I'm looking for an electric kettle with a water reservoir. Has anyone recommendations they'd like to share? [more inside]
Electric Tea Kettle with no nasty taste?
Looking for an electric tea kettle that doesn't make the water taste like metal or plastic. [more inside]
Why does my tea taste funny?
Some, but not all, cups of tea made with my Brita water filter kettle are tasteless and undrinkable. Why? [more inside]
Do you have a long-term relationship with a non-plastic kettle?
Anyone have a non-plastic, long-lasting kettle that they'd like to recommend? [more inside]

UK kettle callout :)
TeaFilter: should I buy a kettle for my cooker (hob/stove/whatever you call it), or a regular electric one? [UK resident] [more inside]
Is my tea kettle poisonous?
Is my tea kettle poisonous? I put the kettle on to boil, then was called away to face some kind of (I have a six-year-old) emergency. When I returned, the forgotten kettle had boiled away all of the water and had been probably been firing away empty for about ten minutes. Is that bad? Should I toss it? Why?

We're not better than the criminals
In response to Jim Kelley (Your Views, May 4): My outrage over the botched execution isn't because I have sympathy for Clayton Derrell Lockett but because I consider the Constitution to be the law of the land. The Eighth Amendment strictly prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment." What this man went through was nothing compared to what Stephanie Neiman suffered, but he was a criminal and I'd like to think that the state of Oklahoma is not. If we allow ourselves to justify this kind of action based on the criminal's action, then we're no better than criminals ourselves.

I could see this being a cute summer tshirt to wear with jean shorts, especially for girls/ women who really like woodland creatures. It almost reminds me of the happier parts of Bambi.
I love this design, but I don't wear white shirts as they wash me out. Perhaps if this was on a light blue or green (or even grey would be better).

Night-Scape II by raysheafWatch
©2013-2016 raysheaf
Very nice. I really like that rainy feeling.
This is beautiful, very well done. For some reason, I have an urge to buy this as a painting for my room
Thanks a lot for your interest in my art!!! Yes I like it too, will make an acrylic version soon as these night cities make wonderful series.
Truly amazing technique. Impressive!
this is really beautiful!
Very nice.
Now that's creative. I can see an entire scene in that image even with the fractals being blurry. It's almost like someone waking up in the middle of the night and being drowsy, thus they see the lights be blurred vertically.
Excellent comme toujours.
Very beautiful!!!
Wow. Looks like a cross between a painting and a photo.

What are your experiences?
What are your experiences?
I take it to visit friends in NYC every other week or so. It's definitely the cheapest way to travel.
I consider it an acceptable risk to life-and-limb and it's reasonably posh and neat (it may not be as quite as safe or as fun as two wheels and a helmet, but what is?)
There is no bus to China,only to Hawaii.
If you don't mind getting hit in the back of your knees (to the point of almost collapsing) with the pink bags filled with fruit or getting shoved by some little white haired lady who wants to be on the bus WAYYYY more than you do, then it's all good.

Good Value illustrate38 from Sleepy Hollow, NY on 04/25/2010 – Verified Buyer
Really a great table with a nice surface that looks good in a room.
Cons: When putting together be careful because the screws provided to mount tabletop to metal rails are too long. I realized too late and created dimple marks that even when pounded down are not flat again. The table top does tend to move even when tightened really tight if you lean on a bit. Sits pretty high and as a shorter man (5'6") I sometimes feel like I am floating in the air. You will definitely need a pneumatic chair or stool because the shortest the desk goes down to is still too tall for a standard stool or chair height.
I still am glad i bought this desk and do believe I will be using it for a long time.

Royal Elm Drafting Table 10sgirlatl from Atlanta, GA on 08/11/2010
I am very pleased with the drafting table. I purchased the table for a friend who's a graphic designer. In comparison with other sites/vendors, Wayfair offered the most competitve price [...] This table is sturdy and very user-friendly. It provides excellent quality for the price.
