Lou and I were in the Northshore area after church and had stopped for lunch at Northshore Grill at 16 Frazier Ave. I had seen it before but never went inside. It was an open area with much of the seating outside. It looked a bit crowded out there so we went inside to eat, but Lou thought it was too stuffy and asked the host if their air conditioner was working. I think restaurants freeze you to death anyway, so I thought it felt good. The host said the air was off because of the breeze and it was an open-style restaurant.
We started to just go find a seat in the outdoor area, but right away Lou picked up on the smokers. I thought we had finally gotten rid of all the smoking restaurants in our city. Even if it was outside, that smoke still trickles through and non-smokers may want to enjoy the fresh outdoors too. I think if you're going to eat, you should eat and, if you have to smoke, then go do that somewhere that it doesn't affect anyone else. That's just my opinion, but I try to mind my own business.
Lou mentioned the smoking, so the host had said there was another outdoor area in the back. It was a large screened-in porch area and the breeze was coming through nicely. We sat at the table and sprinkling rain began to blow in. I didn't mind the mist if Lou didn't.
Now, my old pal used to be a Boy Scout and has never let me forget that he learned to 'always be prepared'. So Lou opened up his large golf-umbrella and situated it in the grooves of the picnic-style table to shield us from the incoming spray that was turning into more than just a mist. I have to admit, that was pretty clever and people around us were probably wishing they had been a Boy Scout too!
The rain blew harder and it was getting our backside wet where the umbrella didn't cover. The waitress asked if we wanted to go inside and said that we could sit anywhere we liked. We chose a table in the middle where the breeze was almost like a wind tunnel. It actually was nice that day.
Our server was a sweet boy named Conner and he gave us a brunch menu to look over. I wanted the Smoked Salmon Scrambled Wrap for $9.95 and Lou chose the Lotta Bacon and Cheddar Burger for $9.95. The rain must have dampened my brain because I somehow missed the 'wrap' part on my selection. I ordered a side biscuit to have a little bread, but when I realized my salmon-egg meal was in a wrap, I didn't need the biscuit. It was a good thing the biscuit was small.
Before we started to dig in, the rain became a downpour and we had an uninvited dinner guest. I saw him fast-moving up along the wall across from me and Lou. I pointed for Lou to take a look at our little friend, but he wasn't so little. In fact, it was the largest fast-crawling bug I had ever seen! It looked like one of those Palmetto bugs in Florida. Lou gasped at the size and had to go over and survey the giant critter (which got our server's attention also). Another server said, "It's not a bug, it's a spider," I guess he hoped customers would take more kindly to a spider than a three inch cockroach.
It was apparent that it was not a spider when Conner let out a squeal which made Lou jump. The critter rolled along the wall as if on wheels and up to the high window sill while Conner went for a weapon. He felt the need to take care of it right away and came back with a loaded broom. Conner reached to swoop the buggy-guest off the window and onto the floor. I had raised my feet up off the floor while the chase went on. Lou agreed that it was the largest bug he had ever seen and he called it "The Kamikaze Cockroach".
"Thwack!" Conner hit the varmint on the first try, but it only made him mad and he came after Conner! "Thwack-ack-ack!" Conner put a little more zeal into the assassination and was able to scoop him up in a napkin. He carried the large lump in the napkin to the back.
After that excitement, Lou and I began eating our meal. We decided the place looked clean and the bug probably came inside from all that hard rain. Lou put together his burger which was served opened, but he wasn't sure he was going to be able to wrap his teeth around it - it was stacked! He said, "This is a really good burger" and it looked good. My salmon wrap was good too. It had creamed cheese and spinach and everything tasted fresh. I needed a little kick with all the creamed cheese though, so I asked Conner for a bottle of hot sauce and that made it perfect! My hash brown casserole was shaped into little balls and had a texture of stuffed crab without the crab. I liked it!
I had to tease Lou so I looked up and pointed at the ceiling over his head, "Is that another one?" Lou looked up halfway ducking his head into his shoulders like a turtle trying to go in his shell. I couldn't help it - that was funny. Conner apologized about the incident and we laughed it off. He laughed too and told us it took two flushes to bury his enemy.
Northshore Grill has really good food and wonderful service. I liked the set up with the seating except for the smoking up front. But if you go on a rainy day, you may want to bring a hand grenade for the Kamikaze Cockroach.

This is a national stage application under 35 U.S.C. §371 of international stage PCT application No. PCT/FI00/00166, filed on Mar. 2, 2000. Priority is claimed under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) and 35 U.S.C. §365(b) from Finnish Patent Application No. 990474, which was filed in Finland on Mar. 4, 1999, and from which priority was properly claimed in the aforementioned international stage application.
The present invention relates to a method based on a novel control and steering strategy for use in the drying process of a paper web or similar coated web material such as a board in coater sections in which the web to be coated is passed via a coater station including at least one applicator apparatus and dryers.
In the coating of a web of paper or board, the surface of the web is first coated with a furnish containing coating pigments slurried in water. After the application and smoothing of the coating mix, the coating applied to the web surface as well as the underlying base web must be dried to a sufficiently low moisture for final use or further processing. Hence, a major portion of the energy consumed in the production of coated paper grades is lost in drying the web during the different steps of postprocessing, which means that energy management in drying is an extremely vital factor contributing to the profitability of production. Correct drying technique also affects the quality of the produced paper grade. Another parameter highly pertinent to the quality of produced paper is the control of the machine-direction moisture profile, that is, the moisture of the base paper, which must be kept at a constant level during the run. The web moisture content affects particularly the paper web behavior in calendering and printing. As modern production lines are equipped with on-line calendering, wherein the coated web is passed directly to a calender, the moisture profile of the running web has an insufficient time to reach a uniform equilibrium state prior to calendering, a situation which is in contrast to that attainable in the traditional off-line calendering, wherein the coated web was stored in a machine reel prior to subsequent calendering. Correspondingly, the transport chain of paper from the mill to printing houses and other users has been speeded up, whereby the moisture even in uncalendered paper does not necessarily have enough time to stabilize and reach a sufficiently low level prior to printing. In coating, the web moisture content affects the penetration of water into the base web during the application of the coating mix and, as a result, the change of coating solids content after coating. As variations in the solids content of the coating are reflected in plural parameters in the application process, it is important to keep the web moisture during application and drying accurately within proper limit values in order to attain a uniform and desired final quality of the product.
Conventionally, a coated web is dried immediately after the application of coating using noncontacting dryers, which step may be followed when necessary by cylinder dryers and other dryers of the contacting type. The moisture content of the running web is measured at multiple points along the web travel in the coater apparatus and, on the basis of the measurement data, the drying effect of each dryer is individually adjusted so as to attain a proper web moisture over the cross-machine width at the respective measurement point as well as an average moisture content that stays between given limits during a run, the latter requirement meaning that the machine-direction moisture profile is controlled to a given set value. The overall drying capacity is adjusted to a suitable basic level based on test runs and data accumulated from a long-term experience in the art, and the individual dryer effects are then fine-tuned during the run on the basis of measurement data either automatically or manually. Conventionally, one of the dryers or one dryer group is selected to perform as the controller of the final moisture level, whereby the heating power input to the selected dryer group(s) is adjusted by means of a feedback signal obtained from the measurement system. In this arrangement, the other dryers are driven under manual control. Such a control scheme responds very tardy and compensation for the slow response of dryer control is difficult to implement in situations requiring a fast change of dryer effect levels. Furthermore, the web temperature prior to the coater apparatus must be kept sufficiently low to avoid floccing of the coating mix being applied. Hence, proper control of the drying effect is important particularly in the final stage of the dryer section prior to the subsequent coating step. The web temperature also affects the final quality of the coated web.
Particularly in situations of changing running conditions or when starting up the machine, known in the art as the run-up, the elevation of the dryer drying effect levels to correct values and adjustment of the same to proper run-time levels requires excellent skills from the personnel operating the machine. However, carrying out the procedure of setting the dryer evaporation effect levels in the coater section to correct values under run-up or changing process conditions takes time, during which the produced paper or board falls short of the specified quality requirements thus necessitating dumping of the web into the pulper. Hence, it is advantageous to minimize the durations of run-up and process value change times in order to achieve improved production efficiency at the machine. The above control scheme is also extremely clumsy in the optimization of drying energy consumption inasmuch it relies on the control of each dryer unit separately, whereby the mutual evaporation effect ratios between the dryer units are difficult to alter in an uncomplicated manner. Furthermore, a failure in one or a greater number of the dryer units is difficult to compensate for, because the process is designed for operation with all the dryer units being functional.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method suited for controlling the machine direction moisture profile of a web to be coated in a manner optimized to respond to any moisture changes throughout the entire coating/drying process. In practice this approach means the application of a comprehensive control scheme covering all the dryer units of a coater section in an integrated manner in regard to energy consumption and product quality in order to attain an optimal end result.
The goal of the invention is achieved by way of forming a mathematical submodel of specific moisture evaporation rate for each process section and device contributing to the web drying process and then chaining the thus obtained individual submodels so as to form a composite model of the overall process, the model being suited for managing the drying phenomena during the entire process so that each individual unit of the equipment layout is controlled as a part of the overall process.
The invention offers significant benefits.
By virtue of the model according to the invention, it is possible to directly compute the moisture content of the web at the outgoing side of each dryer, provided that the specific evaporation rate at the dryer and the web moisture at the ingoing side are known. After the chaining of the individual submodels, the web moisture content can be computed at different points along the coater section, the most important parameter value obviously being the final moisture content of the web. With the help of the model, the dryer effects may be adjusted according to the individual properties so that the characteristics of different types of dryers are optimally taken into account. Since infrared dryers feature a quick response, they may be used, e.g., during run-up for controlling the overall effect of the dryer group, thus allowing the evaporation effect levels of other dryers to be elevated in a more relaxed manner to their steady-state values during the normal run by way of compensating for the delay of dryer warm-up with the help of delay terms adapted into the model. The use of delay terms also makes it possible to manage actual process response delays.
Since the invention provides a control scheme for the overall process, it allows the evaporation effects of the dryer units to be divided therebetween in a desired manner and, particularly in the case of failure in one dryer, the drying effect lost thereby may be compensated for by the other dryer units thus permitting operation of the coater section uninterrupted by a servicing shutdown. Equally, as the initial moisture content of the web as well as the amount of moisture added thereto by the applied coating are known, the model gives tools for computing an estimate for the web moisture at different points along the process and, particularly, prior to upwinding. In fact, the model allows the web final moisture content to be computed so accurately that production may be continued controlled by the model even when the moisture measurement devices are down.
The overall performance offered by the invention gives a faster and more accurate control result than that available by way of manual control combined with feedback loops controlling the individual drying units.
Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood, however, that the drawings are designed solely for purposes of illustration and not as a definition of the limits of the invention, for which reference should be made to the appended claims. It should be further understood that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale and that, unless otherwise indicated, they are merely intended to conceptually illustrate the structures and procedures described herein.
In the following, the invention will be examined in greater detail by making reference to the appended drawings in which
Referring to
Next downstream to the coater station 1 are located first an infrared radiant dryer 2, then three air-impingement dryers 3 to 5 and finally a dryer cylinder group 6 comprising a plurality of dryer cylinders 7. On the dryer cylinder group 6, the web 8 is dried to a moisture suitable for final calendering and next the web 8 is passed via a moisture content gauge 9 to the upwinder 10.
The process is controlled by means of a computer. The actual implementation of the computer may comprise a module running under the software of the coater section control computer, or a separately allocated computer or microprocessor serving the moisture control task alone or a physically distributed software and database package. The control system contains an evaporation rate submodel for each one of the dryers and a composite evaporation rate model compiled from these submodels. Additionally, the data base 11 of the control system serves to store the process status data, that is, the real-time status of both the coater section and the model obtained by way of measurement or directly from the computational data submitted by control system of the coater section. The status data includes such parameter values as the coater section status comprising the applied coat weight, solids content thereof and other similar factors, dryer evaporation effect levels, the final moisture content after the dryer units and the web speed as measured at the upwinder 10.
Accordingly, the method according to the invention aims to provide an accurate overall control of the machine direction moisture profile of the web along its entire downstream travel through the coater section in all production situations and, particularly, during the dynamic transition phase toward the steady-state production run condition, that is, during machine run-up and when changes occur in the machine speed or the coating process parameters. The present method is capable of controlling a plurality of coater section dryers simultaneously so that the target value of web moisture is attained optimally. In the novel approach according to the invention, each drying unit is formulated with the help of a mathematical submodel describing the specific evaporation behavior of the unit, whereupon the submodel is utilized in the comprehensive control strategy for computing the unit-specific set values. The thus formulated specific evaporation rate models are used in a chained manner for modeling the overall process, complemented with certain measurement results obtained from the process. The parameters of the mathematical modeling equations may be updated on either per unit or per operating point basis using either off-line or on-line techniques. The thus obtained computational model can be brought to match exactly with the operation of the coater section for different kinds of manufactured product grades and varying process conditions.
The method can be applied to both so-called off-machine and on-machine coater sections, and it is capable of performing dryer control functions under a normal steady-state production run situation as well as during dynamic transition phases toward a normal production run state. In the context of the present invention, a normal steady-state production run situation is understood to refer to a condition in which no changes occur in the machine speed or, if changes do occur, they are of a type that will not be reflected in the product quality. Such change and transition situation(s) is/are represented by changes in machine speed and start-up of section operation. The measurements values of the process quality monitoring system and other values such as the web moisture, basis weight, coat weight, coat solids content and web temperature sensor signals obtained from the coater section control system serve as the input signals of the method. The measurement sensors of the process quality monitoring system may be located either after the last dryer unit in each coater station and preceding the upwinder, whereby the measurement system represents a comprehensive implementation or a portion of the so-called intermediate points of moisture measurement can be omitted, whereby the method may use the web moisture estimates which are computed from the evaporation model and bear an accurate relationship with the actual situation along the web travel, particularly when the parameters of the modeling equation are updated in real time.
Based on the mathematical models, the present method computes the specific evaporation rate, e.g., as kgH2O/m2/h for each dryer or process unit contributing to the drying process. The computations take into account the coater stations, infrared radiant dryers, air-impingement dryers, cylinder dryers and other dryers associated with the coater section, as well as the open draws between the dryer units. Open draws form an important part of the modeling task and must be included in the composite model, because moisture evaporation also takes place on these portions of the web travel from the hot web exiting the dryers.
On a coater station, the coating applied to the surface of the web carries along a certain amount of excess water that must be removed on the dryers. When the initial moisture content of the web, as well as the amount of applied coating and the moisture content of the coating are known, it is possible on the basis of the web speed to compute the required overall evaporation effect and to divide it between the different dryers. The goal is to control the so-called intermediate moisture of the web after each coater station, as well the final moisture of the finished product to desired target values by means of steering the coater section dryers as an integrated system. The specific evaporation computation utilizes measurement data gathered on web moisture, temperature, speed and on the ambient air humidity. With the help of the specific evaporation models, it is possible to compute an estimate for the moisture of the web leaving any dryer. Similarly, it is possible to compute the change in web temperature within each process unit and the exit temperature of the web at the outgoing side of each unit. A chained composite model for the entire system is obtained by combining the mathematical submodel equations that describe the behavior of the dryers and the open draws. Herein, the values of the web moisture and temperature computed for the outgoing side of a preceding dryer are used as the input values for the next dryer, that is, representing the moisture and temperature values of the entering web.
According to the method, the web intermediate moisture after each coater station and the final moisture content of the finished product at the upwinder are controlled by means of specific evaporation submodels developed for the dryers of the coater section. With the help of these submodels it is possible to compute such set values of adjustment and control variables for each modeled unit that bring about the desired values of web intermediate and final moisture contents. The same approach also is used to manage a machine speed change situation. The control actions are carried out with the help of both closed-loop feedback circuits and feedforward circuits. Moisture measurement signals obtained from the process quality monitoring system are taken to the feedback circuit that adjusts the set values of one or more dryer units in the coater section. The feedforward circuit, which is employed to manage the dynamic transition states of machine speed change, uses set value estimates which are computed from the mathematical submodels of the specific evaporation rates for the final condition of the machine speed change state. This description, however, omits the details of the actual modeling techniques used inasmuch those skilled in the art have no difficulty in finding the needed mathematical tools in the literature.
The first step in the method according to the invention is to compute the specific evaporation rates for the different units of the production line. The specific evaporation rates as kgH2O/m2/h are computed for the separate dryers of the coater section using the computational facilities of the automation system of the production line or of a separate computing unit intimately communicating therewith. The mathematical submodels of the coater section dryers are developed separately for the coater stations, infrared radiant dryers, air-impingement dryers and cylinder dryers and other dryers possibly cooperating with the coater section, and for the open draws. The mathematical submodels take into account the contribution of the characteristic control parameters of each unit and the effect of process variables on the overall specific evaporation rate. Such contributing variables include the web speed, the web initial moisture and temperature, the web basis weight, the coat weight, the solids content and composition of applied coating, air humidity, the lineal effect (kW/m) of the infrared radiant dryer, the temperature and flow rate of impinging air blown in the air-impingement dryer, and the steam pressure and flow rate in cylinder dryers. As an outcome of the computation, the submodels give the specific evaporation rate for each dryer, the web moisture at the outgoing side of the dryer and the web temperature at a given point of interest when properly selected control variables are used in the equations.
With the help of data obtained from the process quality monitoring system, the characteristic parameters of the evaporation rate submodels may be corrected, e.g., as per paper grade and system operating status. In this fashion, the composite model can be tuned to accurately match the actual operating status and the behavior of the coater section to be controlled. To this end, the estimate obtained from the model for the web moisture at a given point of the web travel, e.g., prior to upwinding, is compared with the actual moisture data obtained from the web measurement sensors. On the basis of this comparison, an error term is computed for the model that is then used in the correction computation for the model parameters. The correction computation may be carried out as either an off-line task within the automation system of the production line or other computing system connected thereto or alternatively, directly as an on-line task in the automation system, using appropriate computing routines such as the least squares method, for instance, or equivalent recursive algorithms. For this purpose, the dryers are controlled according to a specific strategy so that all the dryers are set to a constant evaporation effect state, with the exception of the one for which the equation parameters of the submodel are to be analyzed. During the parameter value update operation, the control signals of the dryer being analyzed are appropriately varied in accordance with the parameter identification technique used, e.g., by way of imposing stepwise changes in the set value or superimposing a PRBS (pseudo-random binary signal) on the set value output signals in order to cause a sufficient amount of changes in the system being analyzed so that the computational algorithm of the parameter identification technique will converge. The thus obtained parameter values of the modeling equations as per paper grade and process operating point can be stored in a separate database or in the grade-specific production control files of the process automation system.
According to the invention, moisture control along the downstream travel of the web takes place as follows. In the method described herein, a model-based web moisture controller computes from the actual measurement signal of the web moisture and the target value of the web moisture a control signal, whereby the computational process utilizes a composite model compiled from the mathematical submodels of the individual dryers. The computation takes into account the specific evaporation rates of the dryers and the prevailing manufacturing process conditions. With the help of the submodels, such set values of adjustment and control variables are computed for each dryer separately that are required to attain the desired intermediate and final values of web moisture. During dynamic changes of machine speed, the control algorithm computes the need for effect change in the dryers according to the change in web speed.
In a normal steady-state production run situation involving no change in web speed, a feedback-type control scheme is used, whereby the model input signals formed by the web moisture set value and the actual web moisture measurement information are processed into a feedback signal of moisture error, on the basis of which signal the control algorithm then performs required changes to an extent defined by the system operator in the drying effects of dryers selected to be controlled by the control computer. While all the dryers may be set to be controlled by a computer or, respectively, set for manual control, in the spirit of the invention the drying effect of at least one dryer must be steerable by means of a model running on a computer. Herein, as shown in
The method according to the invention can be applied to all kinds of paper/board coating techniques and equipment in which the surface of a base web is coated with a liquid-based that is dried on at least one dryer. Generally, however, the layout comprises plural dryers and, in fact, the benefits of the invention will be the greater the more complicated the coater section is.
Thus, while there have shown and described and pointed out fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of the devices illustrated, and in their operation, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, it is expressly intended that all combinations of those elements which perform substantially the same function in substantially the same way to achieve the same results are within the scope of the invention. Moreover, it should be recognized that structures and/or elements shown and/or described in connection with any disclosed form or embodiment of the invention may be incorporated in any other disclosed or described or suggested form or embodiment as a general matter of design choice. It is the intention, therefore, to be limited only as indicated by the scope of the claims appended hereto.

With a rich history of being used as warning lights for road construction and runway lights for airfields, the smudge pot has now been adapted for outdoor lighting. Self-righting and wind-resistant, these quaint patio lights can be filled with lamp oil or citronella oil.
Ships in 1 - 2 Business Days
Dramatic effectPurchased 3 of these the other day now that the evenings are warm enough to be outside and I am very happy. Easy to setup right out of the box just added torch oil. The flame is bright and clear. Good weight on the bottoms to prevent tipping. Just picked up 4 more for a second terraced patio I have.
Smudge PotsI am so excited to finally have replacements for smudgepots that I've had for years. They do a great job in keeping the mosquitoes away.
Great ProductGreat product. As other have said, it holds a lot of fuel and burns big and long. Great website, easy ordering, fast delivery. Will order more.
These are my favoriteI had 2 of these (don't remember where I got them), and they were my favorites, and have been looking for more for quite some time. They hold a lot of fuel and will burn for many hours. We live in a heavily wooded area, and have a lot of pool/spa parties, and these are perfect for creating the right atmosphere, and also keep the bugs away!!
PerfectWhere can you find a functional and good looking item like these smudge pots! And doing business with Signature is a pleasure. I couldn't be more pleased.
BeautifulReally nice. I bought one of each size in hammered bronze. It is really a nice finish. The large ring that connects the chain is the perfect size for holding the cap. These are weighted with gravel or something in the lower half, so they don't tip over. I'm very pleased with them. Thanks!
love theseI have (2) of these brings back such wonderful times when they were used on highway warnings I surely love mine.(chrome) model.
Love these smudge pots!These pots are great! The hold a large amount of oil so less refilling. They also clean up easily. I've had two stainless pots - purchased elsewhere - and was thrilled to find these. I bought two in the copper color and plan on buying several more before summer. They're wind-resistant and put out a good light after dark....great for summer evenings around the fire pit.
Smudge Pot ReviewI bought 7 total of both of the 5 1/4 " and the 8 ". i use them for my deck in the summer and also out back around the fire pit. put citronella oil in them and it keeps the mosquitoes away. Works great. Also gave them out for Christmas. Great gift.

Indie Spotlight: ellagee's Game of Theories Collection
{Press Sample}
Anyone love Game of Thrones as much as I do? I began reading the books before the TV show came out, and I knew it was going to be awesome as a TV show too! Well, GoT returns for its 6th season on April 24th, and Laura has a beautiful collection to go with the series!
This collection is called the Game of Theories Collection. This collection consists of four holographic, color shifting, flake polishes. Each one is simply stunning. The entire collection is available for $43, or each polish can be purchased individually for $12 using the link at the beginning of this paragraph. All of these polishes were easy to work with and went on like butter! Each photograph shows two coats with top coat.
If you love holographic polishes, you're going to love this collection! Enjoy! :)
Azor Ahai is a rosey coral holographic polish with flakes that shift from red to orange to gold and some gold flash.
No One is a pale silver holographic polish with rainbow iridescent flakes and gold flash.
The Gravedigger is a sage green holographic polish with flakes that shift from lime green to gold and gold flash.
Tower of Joy is a periwinkle blue holographic polish with flakes that shift from blue-violet to gold and gold flash. This beauty is definitely my favorite of the collection!

//To my loving wife of 21 years, you are my soul mate and I love you now and for always Happy Anniversary Love Mike
Heart Soul, I Love You, Favorite Quote, Judy Garland, My Heart, Thought, Soulmate, My Love
My love is lost. I held it as a handful of sand, clenching my fist to hold it there. Yet, bit by bit, it slipped through my straining fingers. Now, nothing but memories of every smile, every kiss, and, above all, every word. For 'twas not into my ear you whispered but into my heart. 'Twas not my lips you kissed, but my soul. -incredibly beautiful and sad poem by Judy Garland.
This is part of the poem My Love is Lost By Judy Garland "Now, nothing but memories of every smile, every kiss, and, above all, every word. For 'twas not into my ear you whispered but into my heart. 'Twas not my lips you kissed, but my soul."
you whisper into my heart, you kiss my soul. you are my true love, my soul mate... i love you more than anything gavin<3

'How on earth has this piece of me that I thought I had let go of come back into my focus so sharply? And why does it feel so much worse than it ever did?' Because you are feeling more. You re-scan your body for any pieces that are in the way of where you are moving.there is what we could call a chrysalis time, a metamorphosis time in this process where you draw in your energy in order to transform. -- https://www.facebook.com/leeharrisenergy888?ref=stream_location=stream

This is such an awesome pose, I want to draw it! :D So cute, and playful, and so very human. (and also romantic. <3 ) In black and white it looks classy, and artsy, so that none of us have to feel like peeping toms for enjoying the moment of a couple laughing and playing, while they happen to be on a bed. XD Less perverted than it sounds.
A healthy relationship is one where a couple can have fun, and enjoy being crazy together. https://ToolBoxForCouples.com

Our dear old dog is nearing the end of her days. Dallas the English Pointer has hunted pheasant and quail everywhere from Central Otago to the East Cape. Originally bought for her hunting prowess, her defining feature turned out to be how bulletproof she is with children.
OPINION: But now her body is starting to pack in, so she's finding it hard to keep weight on and her organ control is going. As a result we found ourselves jumping online and finding the best way to get rid of the smell of dog poop from our laundry floor.
The way that something as mind-blowing as the web has moved from the miraculous to the mundane is breath-taking, if a little sobering.
Its creative disturbance has knocked the living daylights out of industries as dissimilar as newspapers, postal companies and CD shops. It has also become the way to order your groceries, pay your power bill and find out how to get rid of the smell of dog poop.
Surprisingly many existing laws have done a pretty good job of coping with these changes, particularly the principle-based statutes. The Fair Trading Act has proven itself pretty useful in bringing the bevy of group-buying websites to heel. The Criminal Justice Act has managed to deal convincingly with maverick bloggers breaking name suppression laws.
Meanwhile, the Commerce Act proved no slouch when taming internet service providers.
However one area that's proven thorny is unknowingly distributing potentially unlawful content. This can be as simple as a neo-Nazi group harnessing free web publisher Wordpress to distribute offensive material. Or it can be as complex as a search engine returning an old (and previously deleted) piece of offending content that has been unintentionally preserved through the black magic of caching.
To date New Zealand's digerati has flitted nervously around the margins as to who is responsible for material put up by third parties on their websites, or indexed and stored.
It's equally murky in social media, where a person may have private information posted about them, or be the target of obscenities or organised defamation.
Accepted practice has seen "notice and takedown" as the reasonable response. This sees the victim notify the host of the material, and the host investigates and takes it down if they determine it to be it unlawful.
But the actual implementation of notice and takedown is as varied as it is unrecognised by law. A trio of recent events have started to clarify this area.
One emerged last month when the Advertising Standards Authority issued guidance on social media. The key question was how should the ASA treat user-generated content on social media websites.
The ASA decided that if a company proactively solicits content from people on a product or service, or if the company reproduces user-generated content in its own advertisements, then this can fairly be seen as advertising and be accountable to the Advertising Code.
So if you post a comment about how great your Toyota is, it's not advertising. But if Toyota runs a competition inviting people to post comments about their Corollas, it is advertising.
Two months prior to this the High Court heard a case brought by a New Zealand psychiatrist against Google after defamatory comments about him were posted on an American website. When a person searched on his name, Google's search algorithm ensured the search result referenced the defamatory material and gave a link to the offending website.
Google's defence included the argument that publication by a search engine provider which generates data automatically, does not amount to publication. In the High Court, Judge Abbot found against the psychiatrist (because the case should have been taken against Google Inc rather than Google NZ), but noted it was reasonable to argue the search engine was a publisher.
In Australia last week Google was less fortunate, when a Victorian Supreme Court jury found that Google was a publisher and potentially liable where its programmatically produced results include defamatory material. The court awarded damages of $253,000 to Michael
Trkulja after search engine results implied he was associated with the criminal underworld and Google didn't stop this from occurring when asked.
Last year the Law Commission's report "New media meets News media" noted that it was impossible and undesirable to proactively censor or moderate online discussions, and also referenced the import of notice and takedown. The consequent final report recommended a two-tier regulator for speech harms, with the second tier being a communications tribunal chaired by a judge, who will make legally binding determinations between victims, perpetrators, and site hosts.
One of the first things the judge will have to do is actually define how notice and takedown should work, and whether it must be permanent. Until it does, there's a good chance other websites will find themselves in the poo, kind of like we did in our laundry last week.
Mike "MOD" O'Donnell is a professional director, eCommerce manager and author. He reckons English Pointers are the world's best upland gun dogs.
