We help each other cope.
The organization
for people who suffered the murder of a relative or close friend.
Survivors of
Homicide, Inc. was founded in 1983 by a group of families who were trying
to cope with the murder of a family member or someone else close to them.
They met to support each other, and to share information about the
criminal justice system. As time went on, membership grew and the mission
expanded. We have become outspoken advocates for all victims of
violent crime, for fair compensation to victims, and for public policy and
understanding that reduces the senseless violence sweeping our
communities. Our organization is based in Connecticut, but it is
open to anyone who needs our help or shares our goals.

This search is intended to help Commonwealth supported students determine their subject fees for the current year.
The subject fees displayed are correct at time of publication, however as part of its 2014-15 budget announcements, the government indicated its intention to introduce major changes to higher education funding - these have the potential to have a significant impact on Commonwealth supported students by removing the government-imposed cap on student contribution amounts. Please ensure you read this information.
In addition to tuition fees you will also be required to pay a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
An Electronic Commonwealth Assistance Notice (e-CAN) will be emailed to you within 28 days of the census date of the subject(s) and will reflect the exact fee charged, the amount deferred to HECS-HELP, and the amount paid upfront.
If you are enrolling as a:
- Postgraduate fee paying student - please see Postgraduate course tuition fees.
- International student - please see International fees.
- Domestic non-award or cross institutional student - please see subject based fees.
Fees search
To search for a subject fee as a Commonwealth supported student please complete the following:
- Select fee year
- Enter a subject number or name.
- If you don't know a subject number or name, please select the relevant course area from the "Course area" drop down list.
- Select your 'commencement year' from the drop down list below.
If you are studying Nursing or Education subjects you may be covered by different student contribution amounts depending on when you commenced your course of study.
Please note: Fees are set and are correct for the current year and are revised annually. Fees for future years published in the online calculator, whilst unlikely to change, are estimates only. UTS makes every effort to provide up to date future years fee estimates and to limit any changes, however, UTS reserves the right to vary fees for future years at any time.

What better way to keep ice-cold lemonades and fruit juices safe from pesky insects than crochet covers in acid lime green, clementine orange or the hue of homemade lemon squash? This project is also a great way to start working with beads. The pattern has been adapted with four designs, each using different sizes and styles of beads.

(VAN NUYS, CA) -- Extreme Associates contract girl Kristi Myst returned to the XXX video fold last weekend as she starred in the final and climactic scene of director's Thomas Zupko's Extreme Associates debut, In The Days of Whore.
Myst, who has recently undergone breast enhancement surgery, and hasn't performed in a video in at least three months, was alternately impressed and shocked over the subject matter of Zupko's 13th Century Gothic Vision, which features Kings, Queens, rotting lepers, pillaging Vikings, detached body parts, a ravenous no-holes-barred Taylor St. Claire, and an intricate multi-layered storyline.
"Tom is, on one hand, a genius," Myst said, "and on the other, a dictator. He wants his shots and will do almost anything to get them. Sometimes I think he thinks of the performers as trained seals."
In her scene, Myst is dragged into a medieval chapel where she sacrifices herself to her husband, the leper and former King of England, Simon (played by Anthony Crane) and three Nordic Barbarians (Brian Surewood, Rod Fontana, and John Strong). Myst is fucked in the ass in four different anal positions, DP-ed twice, slapped around, spit on, and fucked with Viking horns. Then she is taken into a dungeon where she is forced to kneel in front of a vat of blood. Her head is repeatedly dunked into the vat, and after more buttslamming, another double penetration, an anal position inside the vat itself with Brian Surewood and Myst that has to be seen to be believed, and three inhuman blasts in the face, six Gregorian monks join the party. All six of these libidinous ascetics then fuck poor Miss Myst in her perfect shithole again and finally and generously reward her charitable acts with six loads of holy sperm oil and a refreshing liquid desert of Roman Catholic urine.
"The scene was perhaps the roughest and most intense I've ever performed in." Myst elaborates, "It's like every outrageous thing I've done my entire career rolled into one. There were times during the shoot when I seriously considered retirement-and that is not a joke. I mean, it was kinda' like-where do I go from here?"
Zupko says that Myst was spectacular. "She showed me time and time again why she is Extreme's contract girl. The scene took over seven hours to film and required a variety of set-ups. Kristi is such a sweet pretty little thing that her defilement, to me, felt as if I was ripping the petals off a rose."
At this point in time, Myst says she wants to take the time to help Zupko promote In The Days of Whore: "I appreciate the genius of the vision," the buxom bombshell states, "I think I've done almost everything I possibly can in this scene. It has to go down as the highlight of my career. Montana Gunn once said that Thomas Zupko was God, but after working with him, I think he's more a combination of God and the Anti-Christ."
Zupko states boldly: "I shoot differently from most of these two-bit washed-up yahoos who permeate this business like fungus in a rancid Florida bog. I have a vision and I do my very best to bring it to life. I'd rather have too much footage than not enough. My shoots are kind of like a combination of Hollywood and porn. I want every angle and the perfect take. And this video, in all modesty, achieves that. It has it all. And every performance is of an award-winning caliber."
Myst adds: "At first I was pissed off at Extreme bringing Tom in. Trust me, sometimes he can be brutal and I really wanted to walk off his set because of how far he kept pushing me. I even broke down a couple of times. But, in the end, I can now see that he is one of, if not the, best director in the business."

Customer Reviews
Well worth the money...
I have no problems whatsoever with this program connecting to three different servers that I have to connect to for work on a regular basis -- a Windows Server 2003 machine, and two Windows Server 2012 machines. Well worth the money, in my opinion. Absolutely a wonderful program, but I highly recommend using it with a Bluetooth keyboard so you don't need to use the on-screen keyboard -- the keyboard makes it so much easier to actually get work done when you're logged in remotely. The developer's updates have only made it better and better over the years. I've had this app for a good while now, and I continually use it -- how many apps can you say *that* about? Being able to remotely connect to my work computers via my iPad, you cannot beat the price I paid -- the convenience factor alone is well worth it at this price-point.
Fantastic app and great customer support
App works fantastically. I have the desktop and iOS app so I can always log into my own computer or a family members computer if they are having troubles. Desktop app is seamless when connecting to another computer. iOS apps are a little harder to use but work amazingly well. Technical support was very helpful when I had a slight problem which was remedied with an update. Highly recommended if you want to connect to your desktop or laptop while away.
Good but not great
I've tried a lot of the RDP apps and this is definitely a good one. Comparing to the garbage Microsoft released is not a fair comparison though, anything compared to that is great.
It's lacking some useful features like sorting and folders. An easier way to mass change passwords would be nice especially when you have to change passwords every 90 days and you have 50+ servers to manage.
Other RDP Apps have these features. A feature that automatically saves URL RDP would be amazing, I'd give 5 stars just for the ability to auto save the URL based RDPs that are passed to it.

Hello Music Lovers,
I am pleased to announce that I am singing with The Chuck Everett Trio
on Thursday 6/27 at the Mecca of Jazz and wine culture that is
Arrivederci in Milwaukie. I will be joined by Chuck Everett who is for
my money, one the most versatile guitarists you will hear, the great
Joe Millward on piano and bass (how does he do that?!) and the
wonderful Ward Griffith on drums. The fun starts at 7:00 sharp(ish)
and we play untill 10:00. Arrivederci is simply one of the best
places in our area to hang out and listen to live music. Great staff,
great food, wine selection off the charts and my favorite beer! This
will be fun and you don't want to be left out. Seriously, you don't
want to miss this! In all honesty, this could be one of the best
shows of the year. I'll be candid, you will be sorry should you forgo
this opportunity to see arguably one of the greatest collection of
talent ever assembled in one place. Hype, err, hope I didn't lay it
on too thick. See you Thursday!
Warm Regards,
Mike Winkle

When I called to above number to ask what charges were about, they transferred my to a phone number at Agora Solutions - 800-215-1961. The person I spoke with said my husband signed up for the service via the internet January 8, 2008. (The phone bill showed service Feb 14). And that we should have received an email with confirmation number.
My husband does not use our Outlook Express at all, and I have not seen a confirmation email from Agora Solutions or their other names.
After calling CenturyTel, they are putting the Agora Voice bill in dispute and blocking any third party phone services. I called Agora Solutions again, told them that our phone company has their bill in dispute and the new person I spoke with said that she'd credit us the charges but that next month's bill would go out to our phone company. After telling her to Cancel, she gave me a confirmation number. Let's see what happens next month.
Just a warning! Keep an eye on all of the bills that you receive.

MSRP: 49 USD?/ 49 Euro? (probably 550 SEK in Sweden)
This seems like a set you either love or hate. I think afol´s generally dislike re-releases.
On Bricklink the 1st version of General Grievous Starfighter set 7656 (used) starts at
around 45-50 USD, and a Grievous minifig normally cost around $30 so I say there´s
definately a demand for another set with the infamous Grievous.
Is it just the same set with a new minifig?, or is it really worth the higher price?
On to the review...
I believe Vulture droids attacked the DHLtruck from Amazon.fr because it arrived like this...
1139 gives a damagereport on the actual legoboxes. Only 5% damages. Good.
Pictures of front, back and side.
Inside: Instructions, Dreaded sticker sheet and 4 numbered bags.
Instructions and partslist. Each numbered bag holds all pieces for each step in the instructions.
Just like in "8038 Battle of Endor". Very easy to follow and you do not need to rip all bags open
just to get the minifigs out. For me this set contains alot of good parts. Not that many rare items
but a good selection of plates, wedges, tiles, slopes and assorted smallparts in dark bley, black and tan.
Stickersheet. Five stickers, 2 for the cockpit, 2 on the engines and 1 for the droid.
The only one I really dislike is the droids face.
Bag 1. Parts for minifigs, Grievous chair and his weaponrack.
2 green and 3 blue lightsabers with silver handles. Grievous comes in chinabags.
Nahdar Vebb with standard Mon Calamari head. They got the torsoprint spot on compared to how Nahdar
looks in the Clone Wars episode. There´s always room for more Calamari. He´s Kit Fisto´s former Padawan.
EV A4-D repairdroid is a flimsy minifig. Hard to make him stand up with all his "gear" on unless you
place him on a studded baseplate. Except for the wrong colour (should have been dark tan or geonosis red)
I think he´s accurate enough. However his face being a sticker lowers his value alot.
The General disassembled. No extra arms. Feels like the same plastic used on Super Battledroids,
which means they WILL break eventually. Some people think he´s too detailed, I say we finally
get a minifig that looks like Grievous. If you want a yellow classic minifig, buy a City set.
A new minifig is born and 1139 shows he´s more than cannon fodder by giving the General a calming hand.
Some stretching to soften his plastic limbs and he takes his first steps. HE WALKS! We´re all happy!
-So this is my new home... Impressive.
It´s a rough thing being born, and a swedish afternoon temperature of incredibly hot 12 degrees Celsius
is more than he can handle. While Grievous is testing his Separatist comfort-chair 1139 brings vanilla ice-cream.
What a pal! (A4-D looks pissed.)
No, Grievous arms do not look good on battledroids. They´re a little longer and thicker.
Bag 2. Sorry I didn´t sort the pieces better, my 4,5 year old son who got this set as a present
told me to build the fighter NOW. He was very excited about it.
1139 and Grievous at work. Step 31 I think. Very solid build,
you can use it to whack someone without breaking it.
1139 just finsihed what holds the windscreen in place when closed. Very simple. A rubber technic part
causing friction. Also, slope with cockpit-sticker.
Cockpit finished! The sliding cockpit is a masterpiece. Flawless action and no breaking parts.
A huge improvement from set 7656. The 1x2 dark bley plate stops it from sliding off when opened.
The rubber technic arrangement holds it in place when closed. Great playability!
1139 needed to remove his helmet when closing the cockpit. Obi Wan needed to lean back a little
but he did fit which is good if you are re-enacting the death of Grievous
Bag 3.
Great detail on the engines! Hidden missilecompartment is well built and another great thing for playability.
Bag 4. Final pieces. 1139 gets excited!
Lock and load! (Almost like a tank)
Complete set!
The ship is supposed to be a legoversion of Grievous modified Belbullab 22 starfighter.
I think they got close enough.
Details. Thrust vectoring fin folded and unfolded. Works as a landing gear, but fighter is so
front heavy it´s only neded when placing minifigs in cockpit.
Close up of one of the triple laser cannons. Can be moved up and down like in set 7656.
Nothing fancy about it´s belly. Big badaboom is held by 2 studs and is placed on the
long light bley plate.
Hidden missiles in action.
Compared to Anakin´s starfighter.
Flap. These should point in towards vector fin as seen on the boxcover.
Probably the first kid in Sweden to own this set. Not that he understand the awesomeness
of owning a set before it´s released. He´s just happy to finally get a Grievous minifig.
I really had fun building this set with my impatient 4,5 year old son. Interesting build
and not that repetetive. The final set turned out great I think. Lot´s of playfeatures
(you DO know it´s a toy for kids right?), details and interesting minifigs. Starfighter is heavy and
very sturdy. Easy enough to hold when swoshing. I have owned 2 7656 (both sold) and this version
is much better I think. More expensive yes, but there are sales, discounts and cheaper stores
to get it from.
I will probably buy this set when it´s available at a lower price, sell Nahdar and droid,
keep Grievous on display and use the parts for MOC´s.
Thank you and goodbye.

Nice try, I get the feeling... They kicked you out!
AUTHOR: Roger Crigger - ()
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 16, 2013POSTED: Tuesday, July 16, 2013
About the report that I just read regarding the Lord's Ranch. The writer was almost assuadly kicked out and off the property. I've been to the Lords Ranch on several occasions, have had a few of my children stay there on more than one occasion. I also played Worship music there with my wife and children and no, for a fact, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the owner does not walk around with a pistol, they are not a cult, there isn't heavy metal music blaring, homosexuality is not promoted, much less practiced, EVER!!! None of it.
I do however know of people who simply wanted a place to stay during the winter months and used the Lord's Ranch. Like wolves in sheeps clothing, they were not interested in changing their lives, or bettering themselves by getting away from drugs and alcohol, they simply wanted free room and board.
Those people, the freeloaders, found that the Lord's Ranch was not a place where you could just ignore the rules, lay around and skate until the weather got better, so, consequently, they would get in trouble and be asked to submit to authority and go by the rules, or leave.
Often is the case that these sort of people, try to discredit places where they were told, "No... You can't do that". Like spoiled little brats, they do what they've always done. Point fingers... Lie... and TAKE REVENGE on the people that had the nerve to tell them what to do. The person that wrote the "Rip off report" about the Lord's Ranch, I'm betting has MANY, MANY places that were... "A cult", or "horrible people", or... Fill in the blank...
I believe it would also be a safe bet to say that whoever wrote that bogus report is still pointing fingers somewhere else, or in a gutter drunk somewhere... Or... DEAD! Some people go through this life with the belief that the world owes them, and by God, the world is going to pay!!!
In closing... The Lords Ranch is a God send. It's been there for countless hundreds of people who REALLY WANTED TO change their lives. I thank God for the Lord's Ranch, and I pity people like the one who wrote that bogus report... Everything in that report is false... And I do mean everything!!!!! Good luck bud! And be thankful that God is more forgiving and merciful than... Say.... Me! Tweek on!

There is general agreement that democratic institutions shape politicians' incentives to cater to certain constituencies, but which electoral system causes politicians to be most responsive to narrow interests is still debateable. Some argue that plurality electoral rules provide the greatest incentives for politicians to cater to the interests of a few; others say proportional systems prompt politicians to be relatively more prone to narrow interests. This study suggests that both positions can be correct under different conditions. Politicians competing in plurality systems privilege voters with a shared narrow interest when such voters are geographically concentrated, but when they are geographically diffuse, such voters have greater political influence in proportional electoral systems. Government spending on subsidies in fourteen developed countries provides empirical support for this argument.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a new and improved means and method of recovering fuel vapor in a fuel dispensing nozzle.
2. Background Art
Ever since the harmful environmental effects of gasoline vapor have been known, devices have been developed to reduce fuel vapors escaping into the atmosphere. A great amount of fuel vapors are released into the atmosphere when gasoline is pumped into an automobile from an underground storage tank at a service station. Such vapors escape into the atmosphere as gasoline is discharged from the spout of the nozzle. On a world wide scale, millions of pounds of hazardous fuel vapors escape into the atmosphere each year from this single source. The danger of these pollutants is considered serious. Environmental Protection Agency inspectors levy large fines to service station owners who do not have or do not properly maintain vapor recovery systems.
Vapor recovery systems were first introduced in 1974. The systems are intended to recover escaping fuel vapors comprising hydrocarbons and other volatile organic compounds. While improvements over the years has been significant, excessive equipment malfunctions and user dissatisfaction persist. In particular, the present problems associated with vapor recovery systems include difficulty in handling the systems, loss in effectiveness from cuts in the rubber or plastic bellow used to cover the spout of the nozzle and filler neck of the automobile gas tank, and frequent and costly maintenance.
Presently, the two major vapor recovery systems in use are the balanced system and the vacuum assist system. The balanced system is more popular because it is less expensive and more easily maintained by the automobile service station owner. However, in the balanced system it is more difficult for the average user to handle the nozzle to maintain the proper seal between the nozzle and the filler neck.
The balanced system comprises a bellow having crimped edges which essential extends from a fender guard the length of the nozzle spout. The combination of the pleats of the bellow and a spring contained therein permit it to compress as the spout is inserted into the filler neck of the automobile tank. The substantially cone-shaped bellow engages and encapsulates the automobile tank filler neck forming a seal to prevent vapor from escaping during pumping. The system uses the positive pressure generated in the automobile fuel tank by the incoming fuel to force the vapor back toward the nozzle where the vapor is returned to the service station storage tank.
Besides the cuts and kinks common to systems using bellows, the balanced system is also ineffective. Motorists do not take the necessary time to make certain that the bellow forms a proper seal over the mouth of the filler neck. Some do not understand the purpose of the bellow, while others cannot position the bellow properly. The rubber or hard plastic bellow is highly resilient for durability reasons which resist the motorist's attempts to keep the spout in the filler neck. Motorists also become tired from holding the nozzle tightly against the filler neck. Often, they relax, which results in premature shut-off due to the loss of the proper seal.
The vacuum assist system uses a vacuum generating device located in the dispenser or storage tank which aspirates vapor in the automobile fuel tank. Sometimes a bellow is also secured to the nozzle, but it is not as essential as in the balance system. The vacuum assist system relies primarily on the vacuum to suck the vapor back through the nozzle. One of such arrangements is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,826,291 which employs a positive displacement vacuum pump, installed in a dispenser area. The pump's initial high cost and the inherent high wear and maintenance cost make it an unattractive choice for service station owners.
If the vacuum assist system is used in conjunction with bellows, the bellows have the same problems mentioned above. In addition, the vacuum assist system has some of its own problems. For example, when the vacuum generating mechanism for several pumps is located in a common storage tank, the number of pumps in use has an impact on the amount of suction generated. If one pump is in use, the vacuum may be too strong which results in the recirculation of fuel or suction of additional air which results in vapor growth. If the fuel is recirculated, the motorist may be charged for gasoline already dispensed and registered on the totalizer.
On the other hand, if all the station pumps are used at the same time, there may be too little suction. This allows too much of the vapor to escape into the atmosphere making the system ineffective. Additionally, suction may be reduced to unacceptable levels if the flexible hose is too long.
Finally, overall maintenance of the vacuum assist system is very expensive. Repairs in a pump or storage tank causes serious delays and substantial financial hardships. The cost of installation is also significant.
The principle object of the present invention is to provide a fuel vapor recovery nozzle which recovers fuel vapors emitted when the fuel is dispensed from a storage tank through a nozzle.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a vapor recovery nozzle which is lightweight and simple to use.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a vapor recovery nozzle which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture which does not require costly maintenance or repairs.
One more object of the present invention is to provide a fuel vapor recovery nozzle which does not have the limitations of the balanced system or vacuum assist system, is easy to maintain and use, and overall is more efficient in use.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a fuel vapor recovery nozzle which has advantages over a controversial vacuum assist system. In the present invention each nozzle is designed to provide a constant level of vacuum assist which is independent of a central vacuum source and consequently independent of activities at other pumps connected to the same storage unit.
One more object of the present invention is to provide an efficient means for controlling vapor emission at a gas tank which is safe, efficient, and not dependent on the positioning of the dispenser within the vehicle for its efficiency.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum assist system for removing vapors in which the means for creating suction is located proximate to the dispensing mechanism thereby eliminating the need for a long connection to a suction source, and the need for a greater power to generate suction.
It is a still further object of the present invention to provide a vapor recovery nozzle which maintains a desirable and stable vacuum level at the spout end.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a vapor recovery system that is not dependent on properly fitting the unit in the gas tank.
To accomplish these and other objects, the present invention comprises a vapor recovery nozzle having a body with a vapor conduit means for passage of vapor, a fuel conduit means for passage of fuel, and a vapor suction means activated by the flow of fuel in the fuel conduit for drawing vapor into the vapor conduit.
These and other objects and features of the present invention will be better understood and appreciated from the following detailed description of one basic embodiment thereof, selected for the purpose of illustration and shown in accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the vapor recovery nozzle of the present invention in an off mode;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines 3--3 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the vapor recovery nozzle in an on mode;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines 5--5 of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing the vapor recovery nozzle in an automatic shut off mode; and
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the lines 7--7 of FIG. 6.
FIGS. 1-7 illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention intended for recovering fuel vapor during dispensing at various stages of function. The nozzle 10 is intended to replace the vapor recovery nozzle conventionally used in automobile service stations. In the standard arrangement, in which the present invention 10 may be used, the nozzle is connected to a coaxial flexible hose (not shown) of perhaps 10-15 feet in length, which in turn is connected to the service station pump. An underground storage tank contains the fuel which is delivered through the pump hose and nozzle 10 to the tank of the automobile.
The nozzle 10 consists primarily of a shell or casing 12. This shell 12 includes a housing section 14 at its forward end for the turbine 16 and impeller 18, as well as a portion of the trigger plunger 20. The other or rear end of the shell 12 is integrally connected with a hand grip portion 22 and a rear end of the vapor conduit 24. The vapor conduit 24 extends downwardly from the rear end of the shell or casing 12 and forwardly to the forward end 26 of the housing section 14. The bottom portion of the vapor conduit 24 forms a guard for the trigger plunger 20.
The system is intended to permit dispensing of fuel from a storage tank while simultaneously recovering fuel vapors from the vehicle tank. The fuel delivered from a coaxial fuel pump hose (not shown) enters the nozzle 10 at opening 28 from the axial channel of the coaxial hose and follows a path generally shown by the dotted line 30, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, through various components hereafter described to discharge from the nozzle at forward exit end 32.
A path for the vapor being sucked from the automobile fuel tank to the storage tank is illustrated by the double dotted lines 34 from the point of entrance of the vapor at the forward end 142 to the rear exit end 38 which is connected to the outer channel of the coaxial hose.
The trigger plunger 20 is moved vertically by a finger lever 40 having a hinge 42 with the lever 40 appropriately shaped with a curve portion 44 intermediate its ends to permit the operator to grasp the curve portion 44 with his fingers while holding the shell or casing 12 in the palm of his hand. The finger lever 40 may have attached to it a conventional lock mechanism 46 hinged at one end 48. Pivotal movement of the finger lever 40 causes reciprocal movement of the trigger plunger 20.
Even in its uppermost position, the trigger plunger 20 does not completely fill the plunger cylinder 50. Above the trigger plunger 20, a reservoir 52 is formed containing hydraulic fluid, usually brake fluid. The trigger plunger 20 of the preferred embodiment comprises three sections 54, 56, and 58, of similar diameter separated by channels in which O-rings 60 and 62 are secured. The O-rings 60 and 62 form a seal against leakage of the hydraulic fluid. Also in the reservoir portion 52 of the plunger cylinder 50 is a spring 64 tensioned against the face of the top section 58 of the trigger plunger 20. The other side of the spring 64 abuts a collar 66 of the plunger cylinder 50.
The hydraulic fluid in the plunger cylinder 50 is connected by a passage 68 to a second reservoir 70 formed in a main cylinder 72, an end of which is longitudinally located in the shell 12, and an end of a poppet plunger 74. The poppet plunger 74 comprises an arrangement having three sections, 76, 78, and 80 separated by O-rings 82 and 84 which is similar to the trigger plunger arrangement 28. The poppet plunger 74 engages the main poppet body 86 against the tension of helical spring 88. The other end of the helical spring 88 engages at its other end an annular flange 90 within the hand grip section 20. The main poppet body 86 is provided with a flange 92, found in the preferred embodiment, radially arranged to receive the forward end of the spring 88 while also shaped to permit fuel to pass therethrough.
As shown in FIG. 4, after passing through the annular flange 90, the fuel continues through an opening formed between a venturi body 98 and a check valve 94, tensioned by a spring 96 against the venturi body 98, and into an elongated passage 100. The venturi body 98 comprises a venturi passage 102 formed between venturi flanges 104 which are secured to the shell or casing 12 along the hand grip section 20. The flanges 104 are shaped to receive the check valve 94 when the nozzle 10 is not in operation, as shown in FIG. 1.
The fluid in the passage 100 is pumped through a constricted inlet passage or fuel jet nozzle 106. The fluid moving through the inlet passage 106 engages a vane 108 of the turbine 16. The vane 108 is supported on and rotatable with the turbine sleeve 110 which in turn is coaxial with one end of a main sleeve 112. The turbine 16 is supported for free rotation on the main sleeve 112 by bearing assembly 114 which has one race 116 secured to the main sleeve 112 and the other race 118 secured to an inner wall of a sleeve portion 120 extending from the turbine sleeve 110.
The spout 122 is suitably secured intermediate its end in the shell 12 by an annular sleeve 124 projecting forwardly from the housing section 14. The spout 122 contains several elongated passages extending from one end to the other. These passages include a fuel delivery passage 126 which is connected for the flow of fluid through an opening 128 at the rear end of the sleeve 112.
The sleeve portion 120 also supports a plurality of impeller vanes 130 which form a portion of the vapor recovery centrifugal pump impeller 18. These impeller vanes 130 extend arcuately outward from the rotatable sleeve portion 120. The impeller vanes 130 support annular V-shaped seals 132 and 133 which seal and divide the interior of the housing section 14 into a turbine chamber 134 and an impeller chamber 136. The annular V-shaped seal 133 engages a dividing flange 138 which extends inwardly from the inner surface of the shell 12.
Rotation of the turbine 16 with the introduction of fuel through the turbine 16 into the spout 122 simultaneously rotates the impeller 18. This rotation of the impeller 18 causes a reduction in pressure in vapor passage 140 and an increase in pressure along the periphery of chamber 136. This permits suction at the vapor intake 142 in the spout, causing vapor to move inwardly from end 142 of the spout as shown in the double dotted lines 34. The vapor moves as illustrated by the dotted double lines 34 into the impeller chamber 136, and then through the vapor conduit 24 rearwardly past the vapor check valve 144 and into the outer channel of the coaxial flexible conduit forming the hose (not shown).
The mechanism for stopping the flow of fluid is actuated when the fluid in the tank reaches the forward exit end 32 of the spout 122 and covers the opening 146 of the tank sensing line passage 148 in the spout 122. The sensing line passage 148 extends the length of the spout 122 and is in fluid communication with venturi passage 102 and sensing diaphragm chamber 150 through a network of passages including 152, 154, 156, and 158.
Along one edge of the sensing diaphragm chamber 150 is the sensing diaphragm 160. The diaphragm 160 is orthogonally related to a needle valve 162 which in turn is disposed in a needle valve cylinder 164. In the preferred embodiment, a second diaphragm 166 is secured over the rear end of the needle valve cylinder 164 by a needle valve cavity cap 168. The second diaphragm 166 prevents the hydraulic fluid in the needle valve cylinder 164 from entering a chamber 170 formed between the second diaphragm 166 and the sensing diaphragm 160. Chamber 170 is continually maintained at atmospheric pressure by a vent 171 which passes through the shell 15 to the outside atmosphere. Furthermore, the second diaphragm 166 allows for low friction movement of the needle valve 162 within the needle valve cylinder 164. The diaphragms 160 and 166 are connected to one another by a rod 176 within the chamber 170 such that movement by the sensing diaphragm 160 is imparted on the second diaphragm 166 and the needle valve 162. This arrangement helps reduce the friction in the automatic shut-off operation of the nozzle 10 and reduce the necessary size of the sensing diaphragm 160.
The needle valve cavity cap 168 further engages washers 178 and 182 secured to the sensing diaphragm 160 to facilitate a seal between chambers 150 and 170. A needle valve return spring 180 is tensioned against washer 182 on the sensing diaphragm chamber 150 side of the sensing diaphragm 160. The spring 180 keeps the needle valve 162 in engagement with the opening of a channel 184 when the automatic shut-off of the nozzle 10 is at rest.
The needle valve cylinder 164 is in fluid communication with the second reservoir 70 of the main cylinder 72 through channel 184. In the rest position, the spring 180 forces the needle valve 162 against channel 184 preventing hydraulic fluid from passing into the needle valve cylinder 164.
A passage 186 extends between the needle valve cylinder 164 and an accumulator cylinder 188. The accumulator cylinder 188 has a three section plunger 190 similar to the other plunger arrangements. An accumulator spring 192 tensions the plunger 190 to the left. When a force is exerted against the spring 192, the pressure on the right side of the plunger 190 will not increase because there is an accumulator vent 194 opening to the outside.
There is always hydraulic fluid in the needle valve cylinder 164, passage 186, and accumulator cylinder 188. However, during operation of the automatic shut-off, the amount of fluid in the needle valve cylinder 164 and accumulator cylinder 188 will change.
The operation of the nozzle can best be understood by first considering the status of the nozzle components in an off position as illustrated in FIGS. 1-2 and then consider the status of the various components in an on position as illustrated in FIGS. 4-5.
In its off position, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the finger lever 40 is down thus permitting the trigger plunger 20 to move to a down position. When the trigger plunger 20 is in a down position, the hydraulic fluid fills the upper end of the plunger cylinder 50. In this position the poppet plunger 74 is moved forwardly or to the left as viewed in FIG. 1. This permits the main poppet body 86 to be moved to the left in a closed position under the tension of helical spring 88. In this position, fuel entering through opening 28 is prevented from moving through the nozzle 10.
It should be noted that in the off mode the chamber 150 has no vacuum in it and under those conditions needle valve 162 is urged by spring 180 to a closed position against channel 184. This prevents hydraulic fluid in the main cylinder 72 from flowing through passage 186 into accumulator cylinder 188.
Additionally, in this position, the turbine 16 and impeller 18 are motionless and there is no fluid in the spout 122. Furthermore, the sensing line passage 148 is open and at atmospheric pressure.
When the nozzle 10 is turned on, the unit assumes the dynamic position illustrated in FIGS. 4-5. In this position, the finger lever 40 is in an up position. This causes the trigger plunger 20 to move upwardly forcing the hydraulic fluid from the top of the plunger cylinder 50 through passage 68 and into the main cylinder 72. The increased volume of hydraulic fluid in the main cylinder 72 forces the poppet plunger 74 outwardly of the plunger cylinder 50 or to the right. This in turn moves the main poppet body 86 against the tension of helical spring 88 opening a passage between the main poppet body 86 and the inner wall of the hand grip section 20. The fuel moves forwardly through the passage of opening 28 and past the venturi body 98. As the fuel moves forwardly past the venturi body 98 it lowers the pressure in the passage 102 which, through various lines and passages, is connected with opening 146. At this point, the opening 146 is presumably above the level of the fuel tank and therefore the decrease in pressure caused by the movement of fuel over the venturi body 98 does not result in a vacuum since air moves in through the opening 146.
The fuel moves forwardly through the unit into inlet passage 106 through elongated passage 100 and is directed onto the vanes 108 of the turbine sleeve 110 causing the turbine 16 to rotate. The fuel continues through the opening 128 and downwardly through the spout along the path generally shown at 30 and outwardly through the forward exit end 32.
As the fuel moves through the spout 122, the rotation of the turbine 16 simultaneously rotates the impeller vanes 130 of the impeller 18. The rotation of the impeller vanes 130 creates a suction in the vapor passage 140 drawing vapor inwardly through the vapor intake 142. Vapor is thus drawn through the vapor passage 140 upwardly through the spout 122 and through the pressurized impeller chamber 136 into a vapor conduit 24 rearwardly of the nozzle 10 and outwardly through the rear exit end 38 into a suitably connected tubular conduit.
As the nozzle 10 remains open, fuel continues to pump through the nozzle 10 into a tank. When the tank becomes filled and the fuel in the tank reaches the level of the spout 122, it will ultimately rise above the level of opening 146. When the fuel rises above the level of opening 146, a further dynamic change in the operation of the nozzle 10 takes place.
At this point, the closure of opening 146 causes a vacuum to form in venturi passage 102 with which the opening 146 is in fluid communication. When a vacuum is formed in the venturi passage 102, the unit assumes the position best illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7. In this arrangement, the vacuum reduces the pressure in chamber 150. The reduction of pressure in chamber 150 causes the needle valve 162 to move to the right against the tension of spring 180. The use of the second diaphragm 166 results in lower friction which permits easier reciprocating movement of the needle valve 162. This low friction is a useful feature of the invention since it permits the use of a smaller needle valve assembly. It also permits a slow closing eliminating hydraulic shock which occurs in automatic shut-off systems of this general type.
When the needle valve 162 moves out of engagement with the channel 184, hydraulic fluid then passes through the channel 184 from the main cylinder 72. Fluid moving from the main cylinder 72 into the needle valve cylinder 164 and then through passage 186 into the accumulator cylinder 188. In this mode, the hydraulic fluid moving into the accumulator cylinder 188 permits the movement of the poppet plunger 74 to the left under the tension of spring 88 which forces the poppet body 86 to the left. On movement of the poppet body 86 to the left, as viewed in FIG. 6, the fuel is shut off by closure of the poppet body 86 against the venturi body 98.
At the same time, the check valve 94, which is no longer pushed to the left by the force of the fuel, moves to the right under the tension of a spring 96.
On closure of the main poppet body 86, the fuel is shut off thus ultimately causing the turbine vanes 108 to cease rotation and similarly the impeller vanes 130 to cease rotation stopping the suction of vapor from the tank.
As the spout 122 is withdrawn from the fuel tank, the vacuum formed by the closure of opening 146 is removed. This in turn causes the vacuum in chamber 150 to return to ambient atmospheric levels. In turn, the spring 180 forces the needle valve 162 to the closure position of the off mode. However, before this occurs, the tension of spring 192 in the accumulator cylinder 188 forces the accumulator plunger 190 to the left as illustrated in FIG. 7. This in turn forces the hydraulic fluid in the accumulator cylinder 188 back through the passage 186 and through the needle valve cylinder 164 and channel 184 into the main cylinder 72.
It should be understood that various changes and modifications and equivalents of the embodiment described and shown in the drawings may be made within the scope of this invention. Thus, it is intended that all matters contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted in an illustrative and not limiting sense. Furthermore, the vapor recovery nozzle should not be limited to use with fuel tanks for automobiles as described.

Formed in 1978, the Bunnymen have been a vital force in the indie rock world for over 36 years having won over millions of obsessive music fans worldwide and indelibly influenced countless bands with their signature sound from the Flaming Lips to Coldplay to Pavement. Meteorites is a key addition to their repertoire. It s an intimate song cycle written by Ian McCulloch performed by the band with a renewed sense of purpose showcasing all of their unmistakable musical hallmarks while taking them to a new level.
Says McCulloch: Meteorites , the new Bunnymen album...at long last we ve made the worthy successor to Crocodiles, Heaven Up Here, Porcupine and Ocean Rain. Meteorites is what Echo and the Bunnymen mean and are meant to be up there in heaven--untouchable, celestial, beautiful and real. It has changed my life

I liked Ian McCulloch and Echo & The Bunnymen a lot in the days when I was glad to see his face among them, kissing the tortoise shell, but that was 30 years ago. I confess that I have rather lost track of them since then and the idea of a cathartic album from him about depression and other problems didn't appeal much after all this time. I was completely wrong. This is classic McCulloch, I think - thoughtful, allusive and musically very appealing. Every song here is beautifully crafted and many have a very singable tune, The Bunnymen still sound great, the production is ear-filling in a very satisfying way and even without the lyrics this would be very good, I think.
Lyrically, McCulloch hasn't lost any of his genius for somehow getting to the heart of things even when he seems to be talking rather weird nonsense. He's stabbing a sorry heart here, and no mistake, but it's done with humanity and sometimes wit so that it never gets miserable or depressing, and there are some positively anthemic moments ("Holy Moses..." for example) which have a triumphant feel even through the melancholy and despair.
I make no pretence at being an Ian McCulloch aficionado, so others may well have more insightful comparisons to make with his other work. For me, though, this is an intelligent, humane and thoroughly listenable album of ten fine songs, starting with the line "Hope? Where is the hope in me?" and culminating in the rather uplifting, redemptive New Horizons, without a duff track among them. It's genuinely a very good album from a fine, original songwriter and performer. It's one of my albums of the year so far and I think I'll be playing it for years to come.
That being said, I obviously didn't think I would like Meteorites at all, even with the excellent Youth (Killing Joke) producing the record. Happily, I have to say Meteorites is a great record. Not perfect, but well produced, lush, and Ian's voice is strong & commanding. Its a very mournful, melancholic album - not one for sunny afternoon drives. But its certainly their most cinematic and tuneful album since Ocean Rain. Lovers on The Run, Market Town, & Explosions are some instant classics, but the album flows perfectly from start to finish.
Meteorites won't win any new converts, but for long time fans of the band skeptical of whether they could make another "classic" album, I cannot recommend this album enough. Its a beautiful timeless record, and being a fan of their more rockin' material, I'm happy to be able to say I'm just fine with that. Recommended.
1) Quality of the vinyl release: the packaging is great - really nice gatefold cover, heavy vinyl. It came with a CD copy included. Really nice quality. The sound quality is good, though not as warm as it could be and actually comes of as kind of harsh and flat. This isn't unique to the vinyl though, as the CD is the same. I don't know if it is over-compressed, or otherwise just poorly mastered. Potentially, the mastering agent may have had a harsh recording/mix to work with. I don't know.
2) The album itself, the songs: I heard all of this 'return to form' and greatest thing since ____' talk before hearing it. On my first listen I was slightly disappointed maybe, but did still immediately catch some songs I liked. "MARKET TOWN" was by far the best, IMO and I must have listened to it 5 times in a row. IMO, "Market Town" alone would have been worth the purchase of this album. Great song.
On the next few listens, I started to realize how incredibly layered this album is and how much nuance there is to be explored. "HOLY MOSES" is really good, and catchy. "CONSTANTINOPLE" is really good as well, and reminds me of the ELEXTRAFIXION stuff Ian and Will did in the 90s. Will really rips on the guitar all throughout this song. "IS THIS A BREAKDOWN" is really good as well, and direct with lines like "is this a breakdown? This IS a breakdown, I know". "GRAPES ON THE VINE" is catchy but also complex, and Wil really plays a big role in this song with lots of guitar.
"LOVERS ON THE RUN" sounds like something that could have been on one of the Bunnymen's first few albums.Read more ›

Suffolk International Trade Group
09 Nov 2010
Since coming to power, David Cameron has urged a "big step change in our approach to foreign and diplomatic relations in massively upgrading the importance of trade." In terms of the current economic crisis and with regards to this country's ongoing prosperity the Government is clear that international trade is vital.
Suffolk Chamber, working closely with UKTI East, has always recognised the importance of supporting the regions exporters and this is reflected in the success of the re-launched Suffolk International Trade Group (SITG) www.suffolkchamber.co.uk/sitg. Up to 80 local exporters meet on a quarterly basis for news, updates on UK Trade & Investment support and mentoring. This mix of practical information and relaxed networking has seen the group go from strength to strength, each event seeing an increased delegate list and greater engagement by local business.
The last SITG meeting in September, sponsored by local law firm Birketts LLP, attracted almost seventy delegates to The Waterfront Bistro, Ipswich. Leah Finnegan from Birketts LLP highlighted how the UK Bribery Act 2010 affects UK exporters and the far reaching implications for UK exporters who could now be responsible for the actions of their 3rd party representatives, agents and distributors.
The meeting also benefitted from a special addition to the programme. Utilising the extensive contacts that SITG has through UKTI, Mr Damion Potter, Head of the Commercial Section at the British Embassy in Moscow presented on the business climate in Russia. With a wealth of experience in both the private sector and the diplomatic service, Damion has extensive knowledge of doing business in Russia, as well as extremely useful contacts in the region.
The next SITG meeting takes place at Aqua Eight in Ipswich on Thursday 3rd February from 5pm. If you would like to reserve a place at the meeting or join the mailing list for SITG members, please contact Rowena Hughes at Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, email@example.com 01473 694805, if you are new to exporting or need help with international trade, please contact James Fanshawe at UKTI East firstname.lastname@example.com 0845 6419941 or if you would like to raise your company profile by sponsoring an SITG event, please contact Marie Frazer at Suffolk Chamber of Commerce firstname.lastname@example.com 01473 694817.
