The present invention relates to water treatment systems for handling and distributing runoff water during normal low flow conditions and during periodic high flow conditions that may occur due to storms or under other circumstances.
Water treatment systems are in widespread use in a variety of applications, and have been provided and proposed in many diverse forms. One application for water handling systems is to collect and treat runoff water that may collect in parking lots, industrial centers, highways, and other places where paved surfaces or other man-made structures inhibit the water's ability to seep into the ground or find its way to natural watercourses. Such runoff water typically is attributable to rainfall, but might come from other natural or man-made sources. It may be suitable, under some circumstances, to simply provide culverts or sewers to collect the runoff water and direct it to a natural watercourse. In many other instances, however, the water will collect and carry debris, sediment, chemicals, or other pollutants that are present along their path, which makes it desirable to treat the water to remove such pollutants before allowing the water to proceed to a natural watercourse. In such cases, a water treatment system may be employed.
One type of conventional water treatment system is a separator tank, which are sometimes called interceptors. These devices typically comprise a container that receives runoff water and forces it to pass under, over or around multiple obstructions that help segregate the water from pollutants. For example, floatable solids and other lighter-than-water pollutants, such as oil and grease, can be separated, to some degree, by forcing the water to pass under an object that skims these substances from the surface of the water. Similarly, sediment and other heavier-than-water substances can be removed by passing the water over obstacles. Of course, the flow rate of the water, turbulence within the separator tank, and many other factors contribute to the ability to separate such pollutants, and it is not necessary to explain such factors in detail here. Examples of known separator tanks are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,068,765; 6,371,690; 5,753,115; 4,985,148; and 5,498,331, which are all incorporated herein by reference.
One problem associated with all water treatment systems is that the flow rate of the incoming runoff water can fluctuate dramatically, particularly when there are storms or other high-flow events, such as when other runoff paths become obstructed. As a result, engineers specifying the dimensions and capabilities of water treatment systems must anticipate the expected fluctuations, and design the water treatment system accordingly. While it might be possible to simply increase the size of the treatment facility to accommodate any possible influx, doing so might simply be too expensive or the resulting structure might be too large for the given space. Furthermore, the water passing through such an oversized system under higher flow conditions is likely to entrain pollutants that were separated during low flow conditions and carry them downstream. This is sometimes called scouring.
To prevent scouring and provide a more economically sound solution, some treatment systems include a bypass that allows a portion of the storm water to pass through them without being treated. Some of these bypasses, such as those described in the aforementioned patents, are designed to prevent the high flow of storm water from scouring the contents of the treatment tank and carrying the previously-collected pollutants downstream. In these devices, low flows or water are blocked by a weir, which forces the water down through a drop pipe and into a treatment chamber. There, pollutants settle or precipitate out of the water, and then the water ascends out of the tank through a riser pipe to continue downstream. Under high flow conditions, the incoming water exceeds the height of the weir—either because the volume of the water is simply higher than the weir height, or because backpressure in the treatment path causes the water level upstream of the weir to rise above the weir height. Under these conditions, the portion of the water above the weir flows over the weir and to the device's outlet. As it does so, it passes over the drop pipe and also the riser pipe, which can potentially allow some collected contaminants to pass downstream with the storm water.
While the foregoing water treatment systems and other systems have been employed to effectively remove pollutants and prevent scouring, a need still exists for alternative and improved water treatment systems.
In a first exemplary aspect, there is provided a water treatment system having a system inlet adapted to receive a fluid flow, a first system outlet, a treatment chamber, and a second system outlet. The treatment chamber has a treatment chamber inlet in fluid communication with the system inlet and a treatment chamber outlet in fluid communication with the first system outlet. The treatment chamber provides a fluid passage from the treatment chamber inlet to the treatment chamber outlet and is adapted to remove one or more contaminants from the fluid flow. The second system outlet is separated from the system inlet by a weir. The weir is adapted to prevent the fluid flow from passing into the second system outlet when the fluid flow is below a predetermined height, and allow at least a portion of the fluid flow to pass into the second system outlet without passing through the treatment chamber when the fluid flow is above a predetermined height. The second system outlet is isolated from the first system outlet such that fluid passing through the second system outlet can not impinge upon the treatment chamber outlet.
In another exemplary aspect, there is provided a water treatment system having a system inlet adapted to receive a fluid flow, a system outlet, and a treatment chamber. The treatment chamber has a treatment chamber inlet in fluid communication with the system inlet and a treatment chamber outlet in fluid communication with the system outlet. The treatment chamber provides a fluid passage from the treatment chamber inlet to the treatment chamber outlet and is adapted to remove one or more contaminants from the fluid flow. A bypass passageway joins the system inlet to the system outlet, and a weir positioned in the bypass passageway. The weir is adapted to prevent the fluid flow from passing to the system outlet when the fluid flow is below a predetermined height, and allow at least a portion of the fluid flow to pass to the system outlet without passing through the treatment chamber when the fluid flow is above a predetermined height. The treatment chamber is provided with a reverse slope extending upwardly from the treatment chamber inlet to the treatment chamber outlet.
In another exemplary aspect, there is provided a method for treating water. The method includes collecting water into a system and causing at least a first portion of the water to descend through an inlet opening into a treatment chamber during relatively low flow conditions and during relatively high flow conditions. The first portion of the water enters the treatment chamber generally above a low point of a lower surface of the treatment chamber. The first portion of the water is then conveyed in an ascending manner along the lower surface of the treatment chamber to cause heavier-than-water contaminants to settle generally below the inlet opening. The method also includes causing the first portion of the water to ascend through an outlet opening and expelling the first portion of the water from the system. The method further includes allowing at least a second portion of the water to bypass the treatment chamber during relatively high flow conditions, and expelling the second portion of the water from the system.
The recitation of this summary of the invention is not intended to limit the claimed invention. Other aspects, embodiments, modifications to and features of the claimed invention will be apparent to persons of ordinary skill in view of the disclosures herein. Furthermore, this recitation of the summary of the invention, and the other disclosures provided herein, are not intended to diminish the scope of the claims in this or any prior or subsequent related or unrelated application.
Various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the examples shown in the following figures in which like parts are designated by like reference numerals.
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention is shown in
Referring now to
The treatment chamber 108 comprises one or more compartments through which the water flows before being discharged out the treatment outlet 104. In the shown embodiment, the treatment chamber 108 comprises two compartments: an upstream compartment 108 a, and a downstream compartment 108 b. Of course, more or fewer compartments may be used, and they may be arranged in any combination of parallel or serial flows. Either compartment 108 a, 108 b may include any known treatment devices, such as walls or weirs to direct fluid flow, divide fluids of different densities, and help precipitate out heavier-than-water solids. The compartments also may include filters, screens, coalescers or any other suitable treatment devices.
In the shown embodiment, the upstream compartment 108 a includes a blocking wall 114 that extends vertically from the bottom wall of the compartment 108 a. The lower wall helps contain larger or coarser debris that settles shortly after entering the treatment chamber 108 from passing further along the treatment chamber 108. The blocking wall 114 may have any suitable height, but in the shown embodiment it is slightly lower than the inlet drop pipe 112 to allow fluid to pass horizontally over the blocking wall 114. The blocking wall 114 may help treatment efficiency by containing larger heavier-than-water debris in a single area, but its primary purpose is to contain such debris in a relatively centralized area to simplify cleanout. In an alternative construction, the compartment 108 a may include one or more lowered portions or pits that provide areas in which heavier-than-water debris can settle and collect in a single area. In such an embodiment, the pit or pits may be located to facilitate cleaning and/or encourage the most effective collection of debris. For example, as shown in
In the exemplary embodiment, the upstream compartment 108 a communicates with the downstream compartment 108 b by a number of openings 116 formed through the sidewalls of the two compartments. The openings 116 may include screens (not shown) or other filtering devices. The openings 116 also may be shaped to skim floatables or heavier-than-water fluids or objects from the central water flow. For example, the illustrated openings 116 are somewhat smaller than the overall height of the treatment chamber 108, which creates upper and lower lips that can help separate heavier and lighter objects and fluids from the water.
The downstream compartment 108 b may, like the upstream compartment 108 a, include various filtration devices or structures to assist with separating contaminants from the water. In the shown embodiment, however, the downstream compartment 108 b is a simple rectangular passage that extends generally parallel to the upstream compartment 108 a. The downstream compartment 108 b terminates at an outlet opening 118 through the upper wall of the compartment 108 b. The outlet opening 118 communicates with the treatment outlet 104. A riser pipe 120 may be provided to extend down into the downstream compartment 108 b from the outlet opening 118. The riser pipe 120 is provided to prevent floating debris and lighter-than-water fluids from escaping upwards out of the outlet opening 118, and its length can be adjusted to optimize this function. An screen or other filtration device may optionally be provided over the outlet opening 118 or riser pipe 120, if a riser pipe 120 is used.
While the shown compartments 108 a, 108 b are illustrated as being adjacent rectangular passages that are generally coextensive with one another, it will be appreciated that these compartments may be provided in other configurations. For example, the compartments 108 a, 108 b may have a cross-sectional shape other than a rectangle, and square, cylindrical or ovate cross-sectional shapes can be used effectively in alternative embodiments. The compartments 108 a, 108 b also may be located remotely from one another, in which case the openings 116 may be connected by tubes or other passageways. The compartments 108 a, 108 b also may be formed as a single continuous compartment. As another example, the compartments 108 a, 108 b may be vertically stacked, arranged to form a vertical or horizontal s-shaped treatment chamber 108, or arranged in a descending staircase pattern. These and other configurations may be useful to provide a relatively large total treatment chamber 108 in a limited space or improve treatment performance.
Turning now to
It will be appreciated that the foregoing construction can be modified in many ways. For example, as previously noted, other cross-sectional shapes for the block units 600 may be used in other embodiments. The block units 600 may have ovate or circular cross-sections instead of the shown rectangular cross-section. Furthermore, the block units 600 may be sized to allow them to be produced off-site and transported to the construction site, or they may be created at the construction site itself. In another alternative embodiment, the treatment chamber 108 may be formed by other methods, such as by being cast in place as a single large construct. Casting in place may be useful where it provides an economic or performance benefit, such as where the device is so large that it is inconvenient or uneconomical to form block units 600 separately and transport them to the construction site.
As will be clear from the Figures, water leaving the downstream compartment 108 b flows up through the outlet opening 118 and proceeds downstream along the treatment outlet 104. The treatment outlet 104 may lead to one or more downstream treatment facilities, such as an ultraviolet light treatment plant, a chemical treatment plant, a filtration facility, or a combination of the forgoing. Alternatively, where the device is the last element in a series of treatment devices or where it is intended to be the only device in the treatment system, the treatment outlet 104 may lead to a natural watercourse. To encourage proper flow to the treatment outlet 104, the outlet opening 118 and/or treatment outlet 104 may positioned at a slightly lower elevation than the inlet opening 110 and inlet 102. A person of ordinary skill in the art will be able to determine a suitable height differential based on conventional hydraulic principles.
As previously noted, the water system 100 also includes a bypass outlet 106. The bypass outlet 106 is provided to allow at least a portion of the incoming water to bypass the treatment compartment 108 and treatment outlet 104 during high flow conditions. In the shown embodiment, a weir 122 is provided just past the inlet opening 110 into the treatment chamber 108. The weir 122 is positioned to prevent water entering through the inlet 102 from passing into the bypass outlet 106 until it reaches a predetermined level. Until such time, the incoming water must pass down into the treatment chamber 108, and then to the treatment outlet 104. Once the water level exceeds a predetermined level, it begins to flow over the weir 122 and into the bypass outlet 106. The bypassing water can be directed either to a runoff area, such as a natural watercourse, or to a secondary treatment facility, such as a treatment plant that is adapted to handle relatively high water flows.
The level at which the incoming water begins to bypass the treatment chamber 108 and treatment outlet 104 can be adjusted by, for example, modifying the shape and size of the weir 122. A higher weir will, of course, increase the bypass point. The bypass point may be selected according to a number of considerations, such as the capability of the treatment chamber 108 or a downstream treatment facility to effectively treat the water without scouring removed contaminants. The weir 122 itself may have any suitable shape, such as the illustrated crescent-shaped, steeply-sloped wall, a straight vertical wall, a gently sloping incline, and so on.
In the shown embodiment, the bypassing water is isolated from the treatment chamber outlet opening 118. This can be accomplished by directing the bypass water out of the treatment stream entirely (e.g., directing it to a natural watercourse or runoff area), directing it to a separate treatment facility, or by configuring the bypass outlet 106 to rejoin the fluid stream leaving through the treatment outlet 104 at an elevation or location that makes it unlikely or impossible for the bypassing water to flow back up to the outlet opening 118. This configuration prevents the bypassing water from potentially mixing with water that has already been treated, or siphoning fluid through the treatment chamber 108 at a rate that can cause scouring. If the fluid passing through the bypass outlet 106 is arranged to rejoin the fluid passing through the treatment outlet 104, it may do so at the treatment outlet 104, between the treatment outlet 104 and an additional downstream treatment facility (not shown), or downstream of one or more additional downstream treatment facilities. Causing the bypass to rejoin downstream of additional treatment facilities allows the downstream treatment facilities to be sized to accommodate typical low flows and makes it unnecessary for the downstream treatment facilities to include a bypass for high flows.
An example of a system as described above is illustrated schematically in
An additional benefit of this configuration is that water will still continue to pass through the treatment chamber 108 and out of the treatment outlet 104 even during high flow conditions. Thus, the treatment process does not stop—and might even increase—when bypass occurs. In order to prevent scouring during such conditions, the treatment chamber 108 can be configured to prevent or inhibit flow rates that would cause scouring, even when the incoming water level is at or well above the bypass point. This can be accomplished by adjusting the height or configuration of the weir 122, changing the differential height across the treatment chamber 108, adjusting the size of the inlet opening 110 and/or outlet opening 118 or providing an orifice plate to restrict the water flow, or by other means that will be apparent to persons of ordinary skill in the art in view of the present disclosure.
It will be appreciated that the treatment chamber 108 may require periodic inspection or maintenance. It also may be necessary at times to inspect or clear the inlet 102, bypass outlet 104 or treatment outlet 106. Service access to the shown embodiment is provided at an inlet tower 124 and an outlet tower 126. The towers 124, 126 may comprise concrete cylinders or other structures that are suitable for placement underground. The towers 124, 126 may terminate at their upper ends at suitable covers or at a service building. One or more ladders (not shown) may be provided to allow workers to descend the towers 124, 126 to service the device. In addition, by using the side-by-side treatment compartments 108 a, 108 b as shown in the illustrated embodiment, the device can provide a relatively long treatment path through the treatment chamber 108, while still allowing the towers 124, 126 to be located near one another to simplify access to the device. It will be understood that additional towers may be placed between towers 124, 126 or at other locations to allow greater access to the device.
To facilitate cleaning the treatment chamber 108, the drop pipe 112 and/or riser pipe 120 may be removable to allow greater access to the treatment chamber 108. Additional manholes or other access points, such as vacuum hose openings, also may be provided, if desired. Also, one or more permanent vacuum points may be provided to allow remote cleaning. Such vacuum points would include a pre-mounted vacuum hose that extends into the treatment chamber 108 that can be accessed remotely by a vacuum or pump to remove the contents of the treatment chamber 108 without having to insert a separate vacuum hose.
As noted above, one or more blocking walls 114 may be provided in the compartment or compartments 108 a, 108 b to help collect debris in certain areas to assist with periodic cleanouts. In addition, in the shown embodiment, the compartments 108 a, 108 b are provided with a flat lower wall, which provides a relatively large surface for collecting silt and other heavy deposits as compared to a cylindrical chamber shape, which may also be used with the present invention, if desired. The flat lower wall also facilitates cleaning by industrial equipment such as small bull dozers or other equipment. Such equipment may be lowered into the compartments 108 a, 108 b through top openings, or they may drive in through a removable side or end wall. To allow such equipment to operate unobstructed, the blocking walls 114 or other internal baffle structures, if any are provided, may be temporarily removable or displaceable.

Referring to
In both of the preceding embodiments a portion or all of the treatment chamber's lower wall is provided with a reverse slope—that is, a slope that rises in the direction of fluid flow. In either of these embodiments or other embodiments using a reverse slope, the reverse slope can be formed by appropriately modifying the cross-section of the treatment chamber or by simply inclining all or a portion of the treatment chamber. Furthermore, it is not strictly necessary for the reverse slope to extend across the entire length of the treatment chamber, although this may be desirable in some circumstances. The angle of the reverse slope is shown as being about 0.5 to about 3 degrees, but lesser or greater slopes may be used, depending on the circumstances.
It is believed that the present invention can be used in various configurations and applications to provide an effective combined water bypass and treatment system. For example, the invention may be used as a pre-treatment facility for receiving water from highway runoffs and removing sediment, dirt, metals, chemicals, floatables (such as oil, grease, and floatable solids), or other contaminants from the water prior to being treated in an ultraviolet treatment plant. The bypass of such a system could be directed to a natural watercourse or other treatment facilities. Furthermore, when embodiments of the invention are constructed using block units having the shown rectangular shape or other repeating shapes (such as cylinders), the invention provides a highly-scalable system that can be quickly and easily adjusted to accommodate various treatment requirements, such as dwell time requirements (i.e., the amount of time in the treatment chamber to allow pollutants to settle or precipitate out), and capacity requirements (i.e., the total contaminant holding volume).
The present disclosure describes a number of new, useful and nonobvious features and/or combinations of features that may be used separately or together. The embodiments described herein are all exemplary, and are not intended to limit the scope of the inventions in any way. It will be appreciated that the inventions described herein can be modified and adapted in various ways and for different uses, and all such modifications and adaptations are included in the scope of this disclosure and the appended claims.

In a development that may enable a wholly new approach to artificial intelligence, researchers at Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have invented a type of transistor that can learn in ways similar to a neural synapse. Called a synaptic transistor, the new device self-optimizes its properties for the functions it has carried out in the past. Read More
A 110-core CPU chip has been developed by computer scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The chip is based on a new architecture in which instead of bringing data across the chip to the core that happens to want it, you move the program to the core where the data is stored. In practice, this new architecture reduces the amount of on-chip data exchange tenfold, along with the heat and infrastructure demanded by conventional chip architecture.Read More
In a technological tour de force, researchers at Stanford University have constructed a one-bit, one-instruction programmable computer on a chip using carbon nanotube-based electronics for all logic elements. Containing 178 carbon nanotube field-effect transistors, the computer is only able to carry out only one instruction, called SUBNEG. However, SUBNEG is Turing-complete, allowing the computer to run, albeit with an extraordinary level of inefficiency, any program, given enough memory, time, and programming ingenuity.Read More
A team of Stanford researchers has found a way to grow graphene nanoribbons using strands of DNA. This important development could be the key to large-scale production of graphene-based transistors that are orders of magnitude smaller, faster and less power-hungry than current silicon technology.Read More
As there is a finite number of transistors that can be effectively packed onto a silicon chip, researchers have been searching for an alternative to silicon that would allow integrated circuit development to continue to keep pace with Moore's Law. Researchers at MIT have recently used indium gallium arsenide to create the smallest transistor ever built from a material other than silicon. The new transistor, which is said to "work well," is just 22 nanometers long and is a metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), which is the kind typically used in microprocessors.

Imagine a world where rooms are lit by their walls, clothes are smartphones and windows turn into video screens. That may seem like a bit of science fiction, but not for long. Researchers at MIT are using a two-dimensional version of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) to build electrical circuits that may soon revolutionize consumer electronics.Read More
Most people associate vacuum tubes with a time when a single computer took up several rooms and "debugging" meant removing the insects stuck in the valves, but this technology may be in for a resurgence with news that researchers at NASA and the National Nanofab Center in South Korea are working on a miniaturized "vacuum channel transistor" - a best-of-both-worlds device that could find application in space and high-radiation environments.Read More
In a bid to develop a transistor that didn't need to be created in a "top down" approach" as is the case with silicon-based transistors, researchers at Tel Aviv University (TAU) turned to blood, milk and mucus proteins. The result is protein-based transistors the researchers say could form the basis of a new generation of electronic devices that are both flexible and biodegradable. Read More
We cast a wide net over all types of new and emerging technologies here at Gizmag.com - some save us time, some keep us connected, some help us stay healthy and some are just plain fun, but at the core of what we cover are those discoveries and innovations which have the potential to impact the fortunes of the human race as a whole and make a difference to the future of our planet. So with the calender having rolled over into another year, it's an ideal time to take a look back at some of the most significant and far-reaching breakthroughs that we saw during 2011.Read More
Starting next year, computers will be available with three-dimensional transistors – these will incorporate vertical components, unlike the flat chips that we're used to seeing. This structure will allow them to have shorter gates, which are the components that allow the transistors to switch the electrical current on and off, and to direct its flow. The shorter the gate, the faster the computer can operate. While the new 3D transistors will have a gate length of 22 nanometers, as opposed to the present length of about 45, the use of silicon as a construction material limits how much shorter they could ultimately get. That's why scientists from Purdue and Harvard universities have created prototype 3D transistors made out of indium-gallium-arsenide – the same compound recently used in a record-breaking solar cell.Read More

The Bottom Line is being boosted- and replaced by its rival.
TBL is one of two student newspapers at the University of California, Santa Barbara. It competes for readers with the much older, more established Daily Nexus. Since December, a slew of TBL copies have regularly gone missing from newsstands in multiple campus buildings.
The oddest part of the mass thefts: In the newsstands under attack, Bottom Line copies are being replaced by Daily Nexus copies.

The Greenwood Community High School girls tennis team wrapped up another sectional championship, its third in a row, beating host Center Grove 4-1 on Saturday.
And for the third year in a row, the Woodmen vanquished one of the area's traditionally best programs to win the title.
"We were very concerned about this match coming in because of Center Grove's reputation and their tough schedule," 20th-year Woodmen coach Steve Gantz said. "But the girls responded well and competed well, and that's what we want to do."
With the win, the seventh-ranked Woodmen (15-2) take momentum into the next round of the state tournament.
Greenwood plays Franklin Central in the first of two regional semifinals at Center Grove on Tuesday. Southport plays Shelbyville in the other semifinal.
Tuesday's winners will play in Wednesday's championship final.
Against the Trojans from top to bottom, the Woodmen executed almost to perfection, as they have done most of the season.
In just 35 minutes, defending state singles champion senior Jackie Kawamoto defeated Trojans' senior Priya Dave at No. 2 singles in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0.
A few minutes later, her twin sister, senior Jade Kawamoto exited the courts after beating Center Grove senior Jillian Fledderman at No. 1 singles, 6-1, 6-0.
The Woodmen clinched the team's winning third point when senior Makenzie Estrem defeated Trojans' freshman Katelyn Gray 6-2, 6-2 at No. 3 singles.
Because Greenwood's dominance at Nos. 1 and 2 singles the past three seasons, Estrem — a three-year starter at No. 3 singles — has almost always been the exclusive, determining factor in the team result.
"Kenzie has played her best tennis in the last couple weeks," Gantz said. "Now a senior, she's had over 100 varsity matches.
"She's 19-2 this season, and her experience really paid off today."
For Estrem, nothing really changes from match to match. She remains calm and collected.
"In these kind of matches, you have to stay in it for the long run," she said. "I've gotten used to staying calm the entire time, no matter what happens, and block out everything else at the same time."
The Woodmen posted their fourth team point of the day at No. 2 doubles.
Senior Madison Gaudian and sophomore Abby Chatham battled their way to a tough 6-4, 7-5 win against Center Grove senior Kim Spindler and sophomore Madison Smeathers.
"We've been working all year on our doubles," Gantz said. "Both of our teams won in the Mid-State Conference tournament, but this is a different stage.
"We have six solid doubles players, and any one of them can step in when needed."
Last off the court, Trojans' senior Kaitlyn Walsh and freshman Bailey Sammons teamed to win the No. 1 doubles match against junior Ali Youngman and sophomore Joanna Moran 6-3, 7-6 (4).
Center Grove closes it season at 8-14.

Writing for selling content with the intention to sell is a difficult job that people take for granted, similar to how hard it is to write comedy. The point is that people know that you are trying to sell them something. That alone arouses suspicion. And when you're selling through an e-commerce website, such as, that you are not selling face to face makes people, especially prospective new customers, even more suspicious.

Fireworks mark beginning for 'City of Culture'
Published 01/01/2013 | 05:00
Derry launched its year as the UK's first City of Culture with a spectacular fireworks display and the promise of a rollercoaster 12 months ahead.
It had to fend off stiff competition for the inaugural title from Sheffield, Birmingham and Norwich.
Sharon O'Connor, Derry City Council chief executive, said: "It is just going to be a rollercoaster ride of cultural delights."
It kicked off at 20.13 last night with a pyrotechnics event on the River Foyle, which runs through the centre of the city and for many years marked a boundary between nationalists and unionists.
An opening concert will be a celebration of the cultural talent that has come out of the city, featuring the Undertones punk band, traditional music's Phil Coulter, and 1970 Eurovision Song Contest winner Dana.

Long time stalker here. Can't decide if I'm going to try and build the below design myself (steel) or find someone to build it (ti), but I was wondering if you all could take a look at it and see if there are any problems wrt the geometry that I should be worried about. I think that stack and reach are tentatively OK, since it's on par with bikes that fit me well, but i'm worried about handling. FYI -- I'm a 5'4 female with a longer inseam and shorter torso.
ps- the seat tube is 50.3 c-c, i think rattlecad is doing c-t. thanks!

Skip to comments.Minutemen heading to back up National Guard
Posted on 01/05/2007 6:12:23 PM PST by Flavius
olunteers with the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps are headed for the Arizona-Mexico border Friday to provide backup for National Guard troops in response to an incident near Sasabe in which the approach of armed men forced soldiers to retreat. About 11 p.m. Wednesday, soldiers with a National Guard Entry Identification Team - which provides additional eyes and ears for the U.S. Border Patrol and notifies them of suspicious activity - saw a group of armed individuals approaching them in the desert, said Mario Martinez, spokesman for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Border Patrol Office.
The individuals came within 100 yards of the National Guard post, so the troops moved to a safer location and notified Border Patrol agents, Martinez said. When agents responded minutes later, the armed individuals were gone but the agents tracked their footprints to the U.S.-Mexico border, Martinez said. The incident occurred in the west desert corridor between Nogales and Lukeville near Sasabe, which has been a busy area for marijuana seizures since last year. Still, the Border Patrol does not know who the individuals were; why they were armed; or why they were in the United States, Martinez said. There was no verbal or physical confrontation between them and the guard troops, he said. Chris Simcox, the founder and president of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, said the incident shows the federal government is ineffective when it comes to protecting the border. "The fact that National Guardsmen were forced to retreat from an armed incursion," Simcox said. "It's just absurd." The volunteer border watch organization wants to send the message that National Guard troops aren't making U.S. citizens any safer. "The National Guard needs to be unhandcuffed and they need to be able to deal with these aggressive international incidents," Simcox said. The troops need to be able to apprehend and detain illegal immigrants when they encounter them, he said. The volunteers will be armed so they can defend themselves and they won't retreat if confronted by dangerous border crossers, he said. Major Paul Aguirre, a spokesman for the Arizona National Guard, said troops are armed and will defend themselves if their lives are in danger, but their role is to provide support for the Border Patrol. Martinez said the National Guard has been effective in its role. The troops provide vehicle maintenance and carry out administrative duties that previously kept agents away from their work on the border. The troops also spot illegal immigrants that otherwise would go unnoticed, Martinez said. The Border Patrol appreciates citizen involvement, but "the border is a dangerous place," Martinez said. "And we have Border Patrol agents trained specifically for that mission." Robin Hoover, the founder of Humane Borders and pastor of First Christian Church, said sending armed U.S. citizens to the border is "idiotic." "It's insane for non-trained personnel to go to the border," he said. "You're just begging for an international incident to happen." He also called into question how effective the National Guard troops were in their mission because they were unable to identify the armed individuals. He pointed out that both U.S. and Mexican military personnel inadvertently cross the border without realizing it and that could have happened in this situation. Martinez said it's important for people not to overreact to the recent incident and that the National Guard troops did exactly what they were expected to do. "We need to make sure that people know what happened out there is serious," Martinez said. "But we don't exaggerate it."

pathetic.... our troops should run from no one.
Another article I read indicated they were unarmed.
Call me if you need me...
I'm sure an order is forthcoming for the Guards to ask the minutemen to stay away.
A note to Pastor Hoover - the international incident has already occurred. Many times over.
It's time to tell the professionals that they are failing to do the job.
Sounds like an armed invasion to me (albeit small). When do we start treating this as the invasion it is?
I feel bad for the Guardsmen who are apparently under orders to avoid guarding the nation.
What kind of weapons are our National Guard troops armed with down there? Just curious. And I agree with you - they should not have to run from anyone especially on their own soil!! Geez!! This is our border and who knows what kind of element is trying to come across. Our soldiers' hands are tied in Iraq as it is, and now they have to retreat here at home and call someone else while the scum gets away! Pathetic is right!
God bless you, sir, and thank you for your service to our country!
Rules of engagement matter - a lot.
Bull-Murtha is what they'd think!!
This unit was unarmed as I read about the incident elsewhere.
That's what I read, too.
100% Bush's fault, and an absolute disgrace!
If they're not rotating in their graves at 100 RPMs, they're probably cursing at the elites.
In October, my son was the National Guardsman who shot that guy in New Orleans. There was an artice about it here and I read then that the National Guard on the border was not armed.
As Ross Perot might have said "Let's hear it for them volunteers!"
OMG! I cannot, as a former fairly senior leader of the sons and daughters of a America's Army, fathom being on a post without a weapon... To what purpose does that serve??? Please write your CG person about this outrage and tell them to equip our warriors with the tools they need to accomplish their mission. Long Live The Republic (LLTR).
The only way this will get fixed is to replace the CinC.
Those guys and gals just gotta be frustrated...
As a retired military member I can tell you I would be mad as hell if I was put in a situation where I had to retreat on American soil.
Our troops retreating in our own country!!!!!!!!!
How bad does it have to get for the quiet majority to rise up and raise HELL with our elected officials!!
Why isn't the MSM talking about this?
Doesn't fit the liberal/socialist propaganda template.
Interesting that they were discussing the Mexican military.
" U.S. and Mexican military personnel inadvertently cross the border without realizing it'
This occurred seventy miles north of the border, idiot. That's not inadvertent.
Correction: It doesn't fit the globalist, elitist, liberal/socialist propaganda, of which a GREAT MANY Democrats AND Republicans routinely espouse and believe in.
The mexicans must be heehawing over this. Their intent was clear--they are coming and there isn't a damned thing our government will do to stop them.
Why yes. A bit Freudian, as they say!
You're just begging for an international incident to happen
One already did. Perpetrated by some guys from Mexico, who don't appear to be all that concerned about it.
But we don't exaggerate it
Note that the downplaying of the incident begins here.
Where did you get that?
Sasabe is on the border.
I have noticed!
This Country is in one big Mess. We won't protect our borders from millions of illegals and armed attacks by drug dealers or Mexican milt. Many of the Nation's sons and daughters are being killed needlessly in Iraq because we are fighting a PC type war. We now have a cut and run bunch of liberals running the House and Senate because American voters don't have the will or the guts to back up the President long enough to let our military do what needs to be done to achieve success.
And no, I don't fault President Bush for all of this. He has had his share of backstabbing RINO Senators like McCain, Spector, and Lugar. Traitors and just plain lowlifes like Kennedy, Murta, Kerry, Pelosi and Reid to contend with. They are all to blame for this mess we are in.
It really angers me that our brave troops are not armed and allowed to protect our borders or even their own lives from illegals and armed gangs. All the backstabbing Rinos should be put out of office. All the Traitors should be duly tried and hanged. All the lowlife crooks in DC should be prosecuted and jailed.
I read it in one of the articles about the incursion. Can't find it now.
"I don't fault President Bush for all of this'
Who do you blame for the NG not being armed while on the border, then?
Kiss your @ss adios folks! Hell they could have been bringing in suitcase nukes for all the border patrol knows.
Of course, I blame the President for the NG not being armed while on the boarder. He gave the orders that put them there.
Now go back and read what I typed. I said that the President was not entirely to blame for all the mess this Country was in.
Did you read all of it or are you just wanting to pick an argument?
When the one of us who sees the invasion for what it is, realizes that there is MORE than one.
When things have broken down so far, there is no other choice but to see. That is the day I await.
Because it will come.
wow! Thank goodness you were there to defend the Fulda Gap!! Even if it was only with your shredder - you set the conditions for us to win the Cold War. LLTR!
Well, they can just do their little order. The minutemen have a RIGHT to be there. I support them!
I don't think the minutemen should be so dang PC either, not under the Second Amendment, anyway. But they are starting under the law..until the law is proven wrong.
And the law......is....wrong.
the Governor of the state to which the NG belong, of course.
I voted for bush twice. I trusted him. this story today is the last straw as my belief in his concerns for our country's borders has now diminished to the point where I feel betrayed by him. sorry bushbots IF your reading but thats the way it is.
"international incident"
This is the crucial question, or ONE OF the crucial questions..!!
Whos the commander in chief around here?
Wow. I am amazed to learn that President Bush actually writes and passes laws.
Thanks for clueing me in as to how government really works...
How embarrassing!! Those Guardsmen must feel like sh@@, their President let them down and prohibited them from able to protect themselves or the Country. Wow!

Baby Micah
I'm so behind on posting the weddings and families I've been shooting! More of that soon, but in the meantime, I got to spend time with my friend Annie and her brand new baby. Annie and I were friends who went through the super fun dating scene of South Provo together, and I can't believe she has three kids now! He was so so so good and seriously didn't cry ONCE the entire time he was here. Zoe and Asher have very different ideas about their new little brother, which was hilarious to capture. Congrats Annie! I love you little Micah!

Kayla and Rob's Wedding Day: The Morning
Do you remember the morning of your wedding day? Sharing a room with your cousins and waking up every few minutes the night before? Being so excited to finally get out of bed at the crack of dawn? Your dad bringing peanut butter toast to the bathroom while getting your hair done at 5am? The early morning texts from your fiancé? The forgotten tux shoes? Your mom helping you into your dress? These little details are engrained in my heart from the day of my wedding, and I hope my mind and heart never forget them. Because I don't have a single picture of any of those things. They were all the little things that made the day so magical.
I was so happy to be there to capture some of these moments on the morning of Kayla and Rob's wedding day. I got to be there for the hair appt, the quick Clif bar, the texts coming in from Rob, her mom helping her into the gown, the look on her mom's face when she saw Kayla in her gown and veil on the day of her wedding, and Rob and Kayla's "first look".
We also got to shoot some Groomals at Bridal Veil Falls that morning, because Rob didn't want to see Kayla in her gown until the day of the wedding. We timed it perfectly and greeted the sun coming over the mountain!
Here are a few shots from that morning - I'll post some shots of later in the day, (the Temple, Ring Ceremony, and Reception) in a different post.

|Kellogg-Briand Pact (1928). General Treaty for the Renunciation of War. Also known as the Pact of Paris. In March 1927, French Foreign Minister Aristide Briand floated the idea of a defense pact with the United States, calling for joint renunciation of war as an instrument of policy. At first, Secretary of State Frank Kellogg and President Calvin Coolidge were annoyed. They objected to Briand appealing over their heads to American public opinion, and they thought his proposal could represent an entangling alliance. It was William Borah, the powerful Senate isolationist, who suggested deflecting the initiative into a multilateral declaration outlawing war. The French were greatly displeased. However, as holder of the 1926 Nobel Prize for Peace, Briand could hardly spurn a formal renunciation of war, no matter how little he actually believed in it. France eventually agreed to a multilateral pact, although with reservations that suggested to close observers that it reserved the right to use force for "legitimate self-defense." Kellogg, who had supported the pact by ulterior design, soon came to believe it would be a benediction for humanity and embraced the cause with enthusiasm. It was duly agreed by some 65 states, including later aggressors such as Italy and Japan. It had no provision for enforcement. It was touted by more naïve liberal-internationalists as an advance for moral consciousness among states but was criticized by realists as a prime example of legalistic and moralistic folly in statecraft and diplomacy. Neither view seems entirely merited. The pact was actually a low-cost, even clever, security gambit by Briand. It failed because he did not foresee that isolationists in the United States would deflect it into an innocuous public relations exercise—that they would gut it by making it general. Despite this checkered history, the pact achieved much public acclaim. It was
cited in the Nuremberg and Tokyo war crimes trials to support charges of crimes against peace, and wording derived from it was later added to Article 9 of the post–World War II Japanese "Peace Constitution."

Art Therapy and Children
Children naturally use art to express themselves at an early age.
Sometimes we may not understand what they are trying to communicate. An art therapist understands how to communicate with children while using art as a means of expression.
Since children have a great ability to share and communicate while making art, it can help them to feel understood. The way that children create is a major key; the colors, the action, the sounds, the movement, and the layering are all important aspects to their communication.
Art therapy can be a fun way to explore thoughts and feelings safely.

Art Therapy and Teenagers
Being a teenager today is not an easy job.
Teenagers face a variety of stressors including: changes at home; pressures to achieve at school, and on sports teams; avoiding peer pressure into drugs, alcohol, and sexual activity; bullying, friendships, romance, and trying to "fit in".
While a teenager is trying to figure themselves out, it can be difficult or embarassing to talk to someone. Art therapy is an excellent avenue for teenagers to express themselves in the way that they know how...creatively without judgement. An opportunity to be heard.

Art Therapy and
Art therapy is not just for children, it is for adults too!
Some adults embrace art and use it in their daily lives as either artists, as a hobby, with photography, and even arts and crafts.
Some adults say that they are scared of art because "I draw stick people". Honestly, most adults do draw stick people. Children draw freely because it is fun and they do not compare their work to others until adolescents. As adolescents, we are discovering ourselves and start to notice whom is better at something than you are. At that stage in life we either continue to excel or stop doing things that were once fun. We do this because we are self-critical of our work. The age that you stopped drawing at (say 9-12) is the same level you are still at today. That is why most adults draw "stick people", so no worries!
Art therapy is not about your ability of artistic skill but about your willingness to let go and explore yourself. Art materials are a great way to express, relax, get dirty, and discover new things about yourself; unlike an art class where technique and skill are key. You will learn new techniques in art therapy and you could advance your skills greatly but that is not the goal; unless that is something you would like.
Art therapy can be a great addition to your daily life as well as an additive to your current therapies and medical interventions.

Peter Frampton 'Can't Stand It No More,' chucks fan's phone at Carmel show
Fans support singer's outburst
CARMEL, Ind. - The actions of a couple of fans in the front row of '70s rock legend Peter Frampton's concert at the Palladium last weekend prompted an irate reaction from Frampton that led to what one concertgoer described as "thunderous applause."
Frampton performed at The Palladium in Carmel on Sunday, treating fans to many of his classic hits and some newer tunes.
GALLERY: 'Show Me The Way' -- Peter Frampton pics
Concerts these days are filled with fans pulling out their cellphones to take pictures and video of the event, despite warnings from venues and the artists' management that it isn't allowed.
For his tour, Frampton had loosened the restriction a bit to allow for still photos, as long as a flash isn't used and no videos are taken.
By several accounts, a couple in the front row overstepped those bounds, and it caught the attention of Frampton.
"There was one fellow in the front row who continued shooting video on his phone despite having been told by those on stage several times to cut it out," read an account from concertgoer Jeff Davis on his blog .
The distraction went on for quite some time, annoying others.
"The man and woman in the front row were taking constant pictures with their flashes on and talked loudly to each other the whole time," read a Facebook message from Beth Roberts. "They were drunk and rude the entire time. At one point, the guy flipped off Peter Frampton."
Frampton tried to get the attention of concert security, but he finally had enough. Concertgoer Melissa Schickel described what happened next.
"Peter ends the song, walks over and with a huge smile on his face bends down and says, 'Hey, can I see that? Can I see the photos you've been taking?'" Schickel wrote in her review of the show. "The guy hands him his phone and Peter stands up, spins and flings for the rafters! Yes! The phone went flying to the back of the stage and we all erupted in cheers!"
Frampton acknowledged the incident on Facebook.
"Many thanks the eyewitnesses who came forward to explain how annoying 'Team Distraction' actually were," read a posting on Frampton's page.
The experience apparently didn't sour Frampton on returning to The Palladium.
"Love the theatre and the sound was great. We'll be back," he posted.

History of the Unconscious in Soviet Russia: From Its Origins to the Fall of the Soviet Union1
Angelini, Alberto, International Journal of Psychoanalysis
Russia accepted the notion of the unconscious and psychoanalysis before many Western countries. The first Russian Psychoanalytic Society was established in 1911. After World War I and the Russian Revolution, for a short happy period, the following psychoanalysts were active: Sabina Spielrein, Tatiana Rosenthal, Moshe Wulff, Nikolai Osipov and Ivan Ermakov. Scholars associated with Soviet ideas participated too, including Aleksandr Luria, Michail Rejsner and Pavel Blonskij. Lev Vygotskij himself dealt with the unconscious. A second psychoanalytical society was set up in Kazan. Unfortunately, at the end of the 1920s, repression dissolved the psychoanalytic movement. Even the word 'psychoanalysis' was banned for decades. Nonetheless, interest in the unconscious, as distinct from psychoanalytic theory, survived in the work of the Georgian leader D. Uznadze. His followers organized the 1979 International Symposium on the Unconscious, in Tbilisi, Georgia, which marked the breaking of an ideological barrier. Since then, many medical, psychological, philosophical and sociological scholars have taken an interest in the unconscious, a subject both feared, for its ideological implications, and desired. Since the 1980s, psychoanalytic ideas have been published in the scientific press and have spread in society. The fall of the USSR in 1991 liberalized the scientific and institutional development of psychoanalysis.
Keywords: ideology, Marxism, paedology, psychoanalysis, reflexology, Russia, set theory, USSR, the unconscious
Origin and repression
Russia was one of the first countries to welcome psychoanalytic ideas, before psychoanalysis was accepted or even known in many Western nations. Furthermore, the notion of the unconscious was already present in the tradition of 19th century Russian philosophers and in the 'objective psychology' school, whose most predominant member was Ivan P. Pavlov. The latter, despite his distance from psychoanalysis, was nevertheless cited by Freud (1905 [1972, p. 176]), as regarding the psychic anticipation of a motor act. Meanwhile another member of the objective psychology school, Vladimir M. Bechterev, through his interpretation of perversions and inversions based on reflexology, attracted the attention of Otto Fenichel (1924). On his part, the 19th century founder of objective psychology, Ivan M. Sechenov, had on several occasions expressed important reflections on the theme of the unconscious.
From the beginning of the 20th century, psychoanalytic ideas began to spread in Russia. Only relatively recently have studies on the history of the subject been written (Angelini, 1988, 2002; Etkind, 1993; Miller, 1998). The crucial year is 1908, with three significant events. Firstly, an important psychiatric journal, Psikhoterapiia [Psychotherapy], was launched in Russia, with Vyrubov as its editor. The latter was a psychiatrist who had shown an interest in the suggestive-persuasive method used in Berne by Paul Dubois (1904) and in the Freudian theories which were then starting to appear on the scientific horizon. In the following years, Psikhoterapiia regularly published information on the progress of the psychoanalytic movement, as well as full psychoanalytical articles, including various translations of Freud's writings. Also in 1908, a military doctor from Odessa, A.A. Pevnitskii, held the first conference with a psychoanalytic subject in St Petersburg. Finally, in that same period, the Korsakoff's Journal for Neuropathology and Psychology published two articles by Nikolai J. Osipov (1887-1934). Osipov was to become known in the official history of psychiatry as one of the most important pupils of Bechterev. These articles dealt with Jungian studies on the concept of complex, the associative experiments, and the most recent works of the Freudian school (Osipov 1908, 1909).
Osipov had studied in Switzerland and had worked for some time at the Burghñlzli Hospital in Zurich canton, Jung's workplace. …

Scupper Plugs are an essential item for any kayaker who wants to enjoy the benefits of their sit-on-top kayak all year long, enabling more comfortable cold weather paddling or for anyone who just wants a drier ride. The Wilderness Systems Scupper Stopper fit all Wilderness Systems sit-on-top kayaks including all the Tarpon models and all the Ride models from 2007 through the current mdoel. These plugs will fit other sit-on-top kayaks with a scupper hole of 1" - 1-3/8". Sold in a package of 4.
|Item #:
|Rubber - Pliable
|Part Number
haven't really used them too much as they stick up too far in a tarpon 100. carry them just in case I need them.
Work as they should, stick up out of the scupper holes a bit though. also a bit pricey for something that should come with the yak.
No need for yet another 5-star review but I'm so happy with these that I have to make it official! These work GREAT on my Tarpon 120. Makes a day out on the flatwater a dry and pleasant paddle!
Not very pretty, not very high tech but they plug the hole and work like they are supposed to. I've added a lanyard loop out of a bright orange cord to each of the 6 scupper stoppers for the cockpit of my new Ride 135 so as to keep track of them and make them easier to find in my gear bag and make them easier to remove.
