Good morning and welcome to the first of two live blogs on Scottish Cup Sunday here at dailyrecord.co.uk
We are have two fourth round ties to look forward to this afternoon on the site, with Hearts facing Celtic at Tynecastle at 3pm and this blog bringing you live coverage of Partick Thistle v Aberdeen at Firhill in their 12.45pm clash.
The home side have already faced the Dons on two occasions since their return to the top flight this season and both were demoralising defeats - a 3-0 loss at Firhill followed by a 4-0 hammering at Pittodrie in November.
Alan Archibald's side have also lost four on the spin going into this match and last Saturday they were completely outclassed by former boss Jackie McNamara's Dundee United in a 4-1 drubbing up at Tannadice.
Today's opponents, Aberdeen, also run out in Maryhill after two losses - 3-1 to Hearts at Pittodrie and 3-1 at Celtic Park last Saturday. But that result in the East End of Glasgow last week does not tell the full story and Aberdeen had the upper hand for long parts of a match and hit the post in the dying minutes with the score balanced at 1-1 before Celtic snatched two right at the death.
They appear to have taken confidence from that display and, bearing in mind the way the last two meetings with Thistle have gone, Aberdeen seem to be looking forward to the chance to make amends today.
As always our live blog begins a half hour before kick off with the pre-match news and headlines.
We'll kick off the blog with the teamlines.
Partick Thistle: Fox, Taylor-Sinclair, Balatoni, Craigen, Doolan, Forbes, Elliott, Osbourne, Piccolo, Kerr, Higginbotham.
Subs: Gallacher, Welsh, Lawless, Baird, Mukendi, Wilson, Meechan.
Aberdeen: Langfield, Hector, Reynolds, Considine, Anderson, Pawlett, McGinn, Zola, Jack, Robson, Wylde.
Subs: Weaver, Low, Magennis, Vernon, Shaughnessy, Smith, Murray.
Joe Shaughnessy's red card against Motherwell cost him fish suppers instead of a League Cup semi final for his Aberdeen team mates

We mentioned this season's previous meetings earlier on. Here are the highlights from the first:
And the second:
This is of course the first of two cup ties today - with Sky's coverage of the match kicking off now, with David Tanner joined by Derek Whyte and Andy Walker. There were a few upsets yesterday, featured in our picture gallery:
Alan Archibald giving his pre-match views just a moment ago and, speaking to Colin Duncan in the Sunday Mail today, he recognised his team's biggest problem this season. Archibald tried and failed to bring in both Kris Boyd and John Sutton during the summer but hopes the Jags' decent start to life in the SPFL will help him bolster Thistle's attack when the transfer window reopens.
"I will be looking for a striker in January. We were looking before and that has not changed. Hopefully the way we have played in the first ?quarter of the season has let people know that we won't go straight back down.
"Players will hopefully want to come now whereas before they wouldn't have taken the chance. Maybe we are a better option come January for certain players to come.
"Boyd and Sutton would definitely have made a difference. We were ?interested but were told they wouldn't come.
"There were a few others who didn't want to come and fair play to them.
"With Boydy it wasn't about money. He wanted to just get back playing football and it has paid off because he is right back in the Scotland squad.
"We knew established stars weren't really going to come to us but we had to ask the question.
"We have looked at loan players and it is something we are still looking at now."
The teams are in the tunnel, down in that corner of Firhill. Almost ready to emerge.
And the teams step out to a very empty-looking Firhill. A poor attendance for this match, no doubt affected by the early kick off and the fact that is being shown live on TV. Disappointing to see on what is a beautiful day for a game of football in the West End of Glasgow.
The match is preceded by a minute's silence for the victims of the Clutha helicopter crash as were yesterday's ties.
Aberdeen kick off and immediately push forward, trying to test this injury-hit defence. Isaac Osbourne forced to play at right back for the Jags this afternoon. He will be missed in the centre of midfield against his old club.
Aberdeen win the first corner of the match and the home side try and organise....
GOAL - PARTICK THISTLE 0 ABERDEEN 1 - Andrew Considine, 5 minutes
And with just under five minutes on the clock Aberdeen take the lead! That was all about the delivery, the inswinger whipped in wickedly by the left boot of Barry Robson. It drops right in the mix and perfectly for Andy Considine who leaps and heads home on the run. The Aberdeen defender had a marker - but he missed his header at the near post. A great ball in, an emphatic header but slack defending from the home side.
James Craigen was marking Considine at that corner. Just a bit of a physical mis-match there. Thistle reallly have to sort themselves out at set plays. They have conceded from far too many this season. Mind you, they have responded well after going a goal behind here. They have had the better possession and are starting to put the Dons under pressure. Reynolds eventually dealing with one dangerous ball whipped into the box. Aberdeen playing with the sun in their eyes at the moment on a beautifully clear and crisp day in Glasgow, which is never easy.
Applause rings out across Firhill in the 12th minute.
We also invite you to partake in a minute's applause on 12 minutes for Glasgow's "12th man" - our emergency services.— PartickThistle FC (@ThistleTweet) December 1, 2013
That's the second tribute of the day for those involved in and affected by the Clutha tragedy.
Peter Pawlett goes down in the box, it looked like there was a nudge, but we're not going to give the Aberdeen man the benefit of the doubt - not with his long long list of previous. The referee waves play on and Aberdeen regain possession. Pawlett picks up again - this time outside the box - and looks up before lashing in a powerful drive. It's heading straight for the top corner but somehow Fox reaches it! Brilliant one-handed save from the keeper! Outstanding from the Thistle keeper!
Fox saves again! This time it's a deflected shot from Ryan Jack that looked like it was skipping past the keeper! Fox scrambles and reaches it! He has been outstanding for Thistle this season, he's making saves like this almost every week. Well worth his recent Scotland call up. Mind you, it's starting to look a bit ominous with 20 minutes played, Aberdeen have Thistle under pressure here.
That shot from Jack actually took two deflections, incredible save from Fox. That sudden spurt from the home side is most definitely over now. All Aberdeen and the home side have been hurried into a few panicked clearances, but it just keeps coming right back at them.

The former undisputed heavyweight champion who once considered himself to be "The Greatest" has joined the legion of boxing fans who want to see RING number one-rated pound-for-pound fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr. face eight-division titlewinner Manny Pacquiao, according to Muhammad Ali's Twitter account.
In the aftermath of Mayweather's majority decision on Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas that added Marcos Maidana's WBA welterweight title to the RING and WBC championships Mayweather already holds, Ali made a formal request of the unbeaten boxer to face Pacquiao.
"Congratulations @FloydMayweather," read the tweet from Ali. "Maybe after you rest up we can see you rumble with @MannyPacquiao! #AliTweet"
Last month, former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis called for Showtime, Mayweather, HBO and Pacquiao to get together and make the mega-fight happen.
Weighing in on his own Twitter account, Lewis compared the Mayweather-Pacquiao situation to the network rift that kept fans from seeing a showdown with Mike Tyson but was eventually resolved, paving the way for his eighth-round knockout victory in June 2002. Lewis and Tyson were affiliated with HBO and Showtime, respectively, at the time.
"There was all the same political BS going on when I wanted to fight @MikeTyson I said make it happen and HBO & Showtime did," stated Lewis. "If HBO and Showtime can get together for #LewisTysonIsOn and make the biggest fight in history at that time, MayPac can also happen."
Lewis addressed Mayweather again on his Twitter after the victory over Maidana.
"I had Floyd winning fight, but thought it was close," wrote Lewis on his Twitter account. "If I go back and re-watch, that might change. Was just a spectator last nite enjoying."
The subject of facing Mayweather greeted both Top Rank Promotions CEO Bob Arum and Pacquiao during their post-fight press conference at the MGM Grand after Pacquiao dethroned Tim Bradley, regaining the WBO welterweight belt he lost by disputed split decision to Bradley in June 2012.
Showtime Sports boss Stephen Espinoza addressed the issue with RingTV.com, appearing to say that if Mayweather-Pacquiao happens, it wlll have to take place on Showtime Pay-Per-View.
"There's one huge difference. Lennox Lewis had an exclusive contract with HBO," said Espinoza. "There's no reason that HBO should be part of a Floyd versus Manny fight when HBO didn't even bother to sign Manny to an exclusive contract."
Pacquiao's advisor, Michael Koncz confirmed to RingTV.com that Pacquiao is not contractually bound to HBO.
"We're free agents," said Koncz. "We do not have a contract with any network. We're free agents."
Past negotiations between Mayweather and Pacquiao have failed over issues involving drug testing and money.
In addition, Mayweather has said that he "will never do business" with Arum.
Meanwhile, Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar De la Hoya, who was ringside for Mayweather-Maidana, took a shot at the winner, who defeated De la Hoya for the WBC's 154-pound belt by split-decision in May 2007.
"I watched several fights again and Floyd should be 43-3 have a great Sunday…You have to realize that records don't mean anything in today's world. Don't forget juliocesar Chavez was 87-0 before he lost his first," De La Hoya wrote on his Twitter, in part.
"You never ever here (sic) Julio Cesar Chavez saying he's the best ever, and he was 87-0 before he lost. Please don't forget that I had a rematch clause for 1 year and [Mayweather] decided to retire for 1 year and 1 day."

HONOLULU - Hawaii is launching its new online marketplace for health insurance as part of President Barack Obama's health care law, in an attempt to get as many people covered in the state as possible.
The Hawaii Health Connector was expected to go live today, offering tiered plans for individuals and small businesses with an eye toward a key deadline at the start of 2014.
On Jan. 1, nearly all Americans will have a legal obligation to carry health insurance or face fines.
Tom Matsuda, the implementation manager for the law for Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie's office, says the exchange is a major step in giving certain parts of the community a new way to buy health insurance.
Matsuda said Monday that it's important for people to understand how they're personally affected by the new law.
"I just hope that folks out there will learn about this and learn what their options are," Matsuda said.
It's not clear if Hawaii anticipates any hiccups with the new system, as glitches are likely to pop up around the country.
Over the weekend, several states struggled to get plan information to display properly on websites. The federal government earlier announced delays for small business and Spanish-language signups. And the government shutdown could slow technology fixes.
Hawaii Health Connector officials declined to comment Monday. Connector officials also plan to hold a news conference today.
Matsuda said he had not heard of technological issues, referring questions to the connector, a private entity governed by the Hawaii Legislature, along with federal and state law.
"We have to see how it works - it's just getting started," Matsuda said.
Hawaii insurance officials have previously said premiums for state residents would be competitively priced compared with other U.S. states - even cheaper in many cases, according to comparisons with two studies.
Hawaii's insurance division says the average monthly rate for a 40-year-old Honolulu resident under the exchange is $217. Coverage won't be affected by pre-existing conditions, but pricing will fluctuate based on age, family size and tobacco use.

Hi Nigel
Thanks for responding. I'm not sure what you meant by this comment
'I saw this thread when it first started and frankly decided not to make any comment when the first four posts were all made by the original questioner. This left me realing with the number of questions asked and the complexity that had been created. The thread has gone on and only seemed to get worse
I thought this was a Glass discussion board, therefore I assumed it would be okay to put my questions on. And I don't believe what I wrote was complex. I was simply asking some questions and hoping someone would comment in return on whether or not I was making the right connections, or not.
I'm using a Harrods retail catalogue to help work out my question/problem, because they are catalogue pages I own with peacock eye or applied trailed vases on them (of which I currently own about 12 related vases). And I don't own or have access to the Stuart pattern books. I am fully aware that whilst the catalogue pages 'might' help, they wont solve the problem because as I've written elsewhere, you can probably only rely on pattern books to be sure of where an item originated from ... and even that is in doubt I guess with Mike's comments on other threads that Harrach were probably making glass for other manufacturers.
The pages from the catalogue with the trailed vases variously state 'Handmade English Glass', 'Perfect combination.English Manufacture', 'Best English Manufacture', 'In Finest English Crystal', 'English flower tubes in best cut crystal', 'English Flower tubes in flint or green' 'The "English Jewel"' - I was therefore assuming until proved otherwise that they were English made pieces.
In addition to which, some of the catalogue pages I own also happen to have been published in the Journal of the Glass Association vol 5 1997 (which I also have a copy of) in an article by Lesley Jackson with a comment by her underneath of '...probably made in Stourbridge or Birmingham'. That article and those vases in the reproduced catalogue pages in that article, have also been cited as reference in a published Glass book. That reference is one I am querying in connection with the vase I am trying to identify, which I do not wish to put on the board. And that was why I was trying to work out who made the vases in the Lesley Jackson article reproduced Harrods catalogue pages.
Thank you for your detailed explanation of how the Miller's guides are published and from where the information derives.
I guess your comments mean it is right to question most identification unless it is a supported by a pattern book reference. I was merely putting the information on here as it is published information. I was using it to demonstrate that there seems to be conflict on who made particular pieces.
I fully understand that many manufacturers could have made pieces with similarities of design and colour. Which leads me to question even more the information that is in books and on the web unless it has a pattern number attached to it as a reference. I own a few glass books now, only about 26 admittedly but many of them cost me a lot of money (and sold glass) to buy. I find there are discrepancies in them (raised here on the board) and it then makes me query other things, but they are good to have. They would be better if they a) always contained a base shot of each piece and b) were more like Gulliver's Victorian Glass where a pattern number is stated and id is only given if there is a pattern number to support the pieces.
Thanks for confirming the definition of a 'mushroom posy'
Unfortunately I am not in a position to go 'digging round archives' at the drop of a hat. My personal circumstances do not allow that to happen. Frankly the arrangements necessary to get to the Birmingham Glass Fair once a year are enormous. Earlier this year I was able to make arrangement to visit Broadfield House. This entailed over a 5 hour journey and necessitated organising detailed after school arrangements for my youngest son who is disabled. I had two and a half hours there and we managed to squeeze in a flying trip and a race around the Cone as well as take up a piece of glass for discussion with BH. (The piece I am trying to identify myself hence starting this thread). I had managed to find pattern number references that I wanted checked out and BH were very helpful in checking a particular pattern book for me whilst I looked around, but there was no way I would have had the time to go through all the references myself.
On your last comment I agree. Research is not cheap and you are probably quite right that having a vast collection of known glass allows comparisons and enables the differences and similarities to emerge. However I am not in a position to be able to afford to do that. I have to sell some of my glass in order to be able to afford to buy more to research or add to my collection. I don't often buy a 'known' piece unless it adds to my Carlo Moretti pencil neck collection ... Or is so rare or beautiful (and affordable of course) that I have to have it
For the first few years of collecting I used to buy all sorts of glass (I also spent decades collecting pottery and china as my aunt was a dealer so I grew up with that) just so I could hold it,weigh it,see the construction and research it to find out what it is. Now my criteria for buying glass is only (mostly) glass I absolutely love and can live with, so that after I've researched it to find out what it is, if I can't sell it, it stays in my collection and doesn't end up in a box adding to the mounds of glass and ceramics/studio pottery that I am trying to get rid of having hoarded since my teens.

Dear m,
You are, of course quite right that the GMB exists to answers questions, however for me, when I'm confronted with so many within a group of entries, giving little time for replies in between, I just glaze over. All the questions created the necessity for a very long time consuming reply - hence my use of the word 'complex'. You know what your queries are all about, we on the other hand, are confronted with an array of them to pick out the ones we wish to, or can, answer. Sadly, without a photo of the one that you don't wish to put on the board - your perogative
- it also becomes a bit of difficult conversation.
Your comments about not being able to go and do research "...at the drop of a hat...", frankly apply to all of us, for one reason or another. My major committment is to try and earn a living, particularly in these very difficult financial times! Time, distance and the necessary accompanying costs apply to all of us. For instance, it's three and a half hours (on a quick run) to go to BHGM for me, so a days travel including the return, and the better part of a tank of petrol.
As for being able to buy things that are known, it is not always a matter of large amounts of money, but knowledge that has been built up through the confidence created by buying, selling, discussing (as here on the GMB), having your own library/borrowing from the local library, and visiting museums that have glass collections (not only BHGM). The other way is to handle items at auction, something that cannot be done at museums. In fact confidence is very often the key come to think of it
There are always discrepancies between books and publications, the trick, if there is one, is to decide which are the consistantly reliable ones. Yes, books are expensive, but IMHO necessary for anyone with a deep interest in any subject.
Don't think that I'm assuming we can all buy glass and books to our heart's desire, in fact I always struggle to justify keeping an item or buy yet another book or sometimes even an archive, but without them there is no 'edge' for either the dealer or the collector. Books always pay for themselves. The first time you buy something (and save money) as a result of a book you've bought you are being paid back for the outlay.
The keeping of glass to learn from is something that a number of people do in order to understand a subject, including major collectors like Graham Cooley. It need not be vast numbers. It allows you to get a greater understanding of a subject, something that I learnt many years ago when there were no books on Powell/Whitefriars and the exhibitions weren't even a glint in the eye, I began buying the Arts & Crafts drinking glasses. Keeping and comparing the odd one to create a small collection allowed me to gain knowledge that few others had available at the time.
Personally, I think I'm driven by gaining the knowledge about something I know little about, finding the item is a buzz, but finding the information is just as much a buzz - hmmm, might be why I've never made a fortune out of the antiques business
Kind wishes, Nigel

Hello m,
I've had time to check my copy of Mervyn Guliver's
Victorian Decorative Glass, Volume 4, Part three
which covers the pattern books of Philip Pargeter and Stuart & Sons 1850 - 1914 .
I have compared the drawings with the two Harrods pages shown in the article by Lesley Jackson, in the Glass Association Journal Vol 5, called 'Powell Lookalikes'.
The top plate (18), on page 53, are mainly Stuart. The only reason that the two in the middle row (left and middle) cannot be confirmed is that they are not in Mervyn's line drawings. All of the other items have the same serial numbers as in the Stuart reference, except there is the addition of a 'CH' in front of the number in the Harrods catalogue page. The two unidentified pieces have similar serial numbers suggesting that they are also Stuart, but not confirmed.
The second plate (19) has the same pattern pieces as Stuart's
Drop Head Dab Trail
pieces, and similar serial numbers, but most are not shown on the two pages of drawings in Gulliver that I have. Three, however are, the two small ones in the top row and another small, one on the right in the middle row - same serial numbers, with the addition of 'CH' on the Harrods page. Again, it is
that they are all indeed Stuart, particularly as the serial numbers are in the same number range as Stuarts with the same number of digits, but the others aren't shown.
Given that Mervyn splits the topics up within the volumes, the others
be illustrated elsewhere in another part of his work - or, he might not have got everything??
Anyway, I'm sure that will be of some assistance to you.
PS. In order to make my copy pay for itself, that's £65.00 please!!!!!!!!
Oh well, it was worth a try

You are a very
generous person - thank you so much!!
I have 4 other pages of trailed vases from the Harrods catalogue 1907. They are different pages to those shown in JoftheGA vol5 1997 which are 1909 pages.
I will email you.
I do not wish to overturn my apology for questioning Truitts 1880-1940 page 67 where vases 1,2,3,4 are identified as Harrach. I do also appreciate as you have said, that there is no reason why makers couldn't copy each others work and thereby produce items that are the same or very similar to each others.
However , I feel the information you have so generously shared means I still have a query over vase 1 and vase 2 on that Truitt's page.
Vase 2
Vase 2 shown In Truitt's as above, is a flat rim mushroom posy with 5 'peacock eye' prunt and trails that go under the bowl to what appears to be the pontil mark. Unfortunately only the height is given (2.5") not the width which doesn't help with comparisons.
There is one of these in drawing form on my Harrods Catalogue pages which 'appears' to be the same design - this one has 7 'peacock eye' prunts and trails - not possible to see whether they go under the bowl or if there is a pontil mark. And unfortunately these are measured in width not height with widths being given as 8",10" and 12". Reference no CH14805
This appears to fit in with the Stuart serial numbers
Vase 1
Vase 1 shown in Truitt's as above, is a small posy vase with a bulbous base and a tall ish flared out rim. It 'appears' very similar to the vase on plate 19 page 53 top row 4th from left which you have now identified as being in Gulliver's Stuart drawings - ref in the catalogue pages as CH18081(or 18083 difficult to read even with magnifier)
thank you once again for taking the time to look this information up for me. It is very much appreciated

Currently, I'm afraid your email will bounce back! I'm working on the problem and I'll let you know by PM'ing.
In the meantime, I've considered the problem you've put in front of us all. Perhaps the best way to understand the whole peacock trailed subject is not to try and deal with all the manufacturers at once? Maybe get one manufacturer, say Stuart, sorted out so that you can then identify that subject and go on to working on the others? That is to say, get Stuart's characteristic features sorted out, so that there are known, and synonymous things that will generally indicate Stuart. That way other factories will become more evident.
Going from the known to the unknown is, in my experience, much easier.

thank you Nigel. I agree.
I am as certain as I can be at the moment, that the vase I referred to that I'm investigating is not Stuart, and that the reference of it in that glass book and other articles, to those catalogue pages in The Glass Association Journal is incorrect.
I believe, but cannot prove, that most if not all of those vases on the catalogue pages, are Stuart.
I believe, on what I have at the moment, that my particular vase is a different manufacturer.
I will let you know if I find anything further
I did send you a pm via the GMB but if it didn't get through to you do let me know.
As ever, I'm grateful and appreciate your advice and encylcopaedic knowledge and also the time you have taken to do this for me.
Many thanks

I thought you might like to see this. Whilst taking a picture of some glasses at Passau (on the shelf below) I realised I got a good shot of the underside of a shelf of peacock trail bohemian vases. Showing mostly polished pontil marks.
Unfortunately I was not really taking them so I don't have full information. From their positioning I think Passau is saying they are definitely Bohemian, possibly Harrach but not definitely.
I do have permission to use this photograph.

Thanks so much Mike. Very interesting. Definitely one in there that I would say is so similar to a Stuart vase I have with pattern no. It's quite difficult to tell on the others exactly what the peacock eye is like (apart from the one at the front). I love that amber and green with the star cut base....gorgeous.
I shall have a compare later. And thank you very much for your generosity in sharing your photos. I really appreciate it

I haven't time to go through these in minute detail at the moment, but on a cursory glance I believe there are such similarities between these and the Stuart vases (presumed from serial numbers and also the ones Nigel confirmed from the Stuart pattern books) that further investigation is required. Along with contacting Harrach and The Passau Museum. Mike, I don't know if I've read into what you said correctly, but were you intimating because of the cabinets they were in, that they weren't identified with a specific maker?
Looking at your picture I see 7 vases with vase 1 from left and vase 7 from left only half in shot and which I cannot see properly.
There are distinct similarities between vases (from left) 2, 4 and 6 with what NIgel has confirmed as Stuart vases and others which I believe are Stuart vases.
In addition re: vase 5 (from left) the tall vase at the back with the bulbous body:
- this vase or one that looks to be the same, is shown in Truitts identified as Harrach.
- There is a vase with the same bulbous body foot and merese as well as the trails but it has a different top (flared out with wavy rim and 5 peacock eye prunts) in my Harrods 1907 Catalogue page serial number CH 16995 (this is in Gullivers vol 4 as Nigel said above, as Stuart).
-The top design of that vase in your photo vase 5, looks to be the same as the top on another vase identified as Stuart by Nigel above, with serial number CH15637 (Harrods serial no) 15637 (Stuart serial number)
So, there are many similarities - which is why I have been confused by who did what I guess.

He explained at the March 19 Township Committee meeting that an improvement in the economy has caused his company to grow, which requires him to put in more hours and be "out of the state for one week of every month." These demands on his time would prevent him from giving the 110% that he wants to give to the people who elected him, he said
Hazard is president of Atrion Corp., an information technology company headquartered on Royal Road in the township. He said the company, with 28 employees serving New Jersey and Pennsylvania, is merging with another outfit to serve businesses from Maine to Virginia with more than 200 employees.
Hazard said it is "a sad time and a tough decision." Hazard, who is active in youth soccer, said he will remain in the township and continue to be active in the community.
He praised the township employees and his fellow committeemen for their efforts.
He was appointed to fill a vacancy on the committee in February of 2011, and later won election to the committee.
Mayor Mike Mangin thanked him for his "fine service to the community" and his work with parks and school kids.
Township Police Chief Glenn Tabasko said, "Having been here for 33 years, I've seen a lot of committeepeople come and go. The time I spent with Gary as police commissioner, and knowing him as a businessman and knowing him as a human being, I found him to be extremely honest and one of the best that we've ever had. So thank you very much for your service."
Now the township's members of the Republican Committee will choose three candidates and present their names to the Township Committee, which will then pick a successor to Hazard. The appointee will serve until an elected committee member takes over in November.

The gas turbine power plant (shown in the figure below) operates in steady-state regime with the constant mass flow rate m.dot=15 kg/s. The atmospheric air (P=101 kPa) is first fed into the compressor, then, it flows through the heat exchanger to be heated up and, eventuallym it flows through the gas turbine to produce work. The shaft of the turbine is connected to the shaft of the compressor, so that 60% of the turbine power output is utilized as a power input to the compressor (i.e. (Wc)=0.6*(Wt) ). The remaining 40% of the turbine power output are used to drive the electric generator connected to the turbine shaft. By assuming that (1) both a compressor and a turbine are adiabatic, (2) kinetic and potential energy changes through each component of the power plant are negligible, and (3) negligible pressure drop through heat exchanger, and by using information from the given table below, determine the following information:
a) Could you use the Carnot Principles to determine the maximum possible effieciency of this power plant? Why or why not?
b) List your assumptions/observations

William G. McGowan fought a lot of good fights in his life. The first was out of the rail yards of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, to Harvard, where he arrived to start business school with only one year's tuition in hand. (He bet that he'd win a scholarship for his second year; he was right.)
The next was against the world's largest business empire, AT&T, which held a monopoly on the nation's local and long distance phone service — right down to our telephones. Mr. McGowan's antitrust lawsuit against AT&T inspired the federal action that eventually broke up its market dominance. Meanwhile, Mr. McGowan's company, MCI, launched a competing service.
Mr. McGowan's next fight was with heart failure. A 1986 heart attack damaged his heart so badly that only a heart transplant could save his life: Mr. McGowan received a new heart at UPMC the next year.
While convalescing, Mr. McGowan engaged his restless, entrepreneurial mind with all he could learn about medical research. Ever the visionary, Mr. McGowan believed that artificial organs could alleviate the shortage of donor organs and perhaps provide permanent alternatives to transplantation. In 1990, William and Sue Gin McGowan donated $1 million to fund a like-minded center. The McGowan Center for Artificial Organ Development was established in 1992, shortly after Mr. McGowan's death.
As science has evolved, so has Mr. McGowan's namesake institute. The twin revolutions in genetic and tissue engineering began to shape the idea that, ultimately, regrowing the patient's own tissues to replace those lost to disease is an achievable — and preferable — goal. When the mission of the McGowan Center expanded to include "biohybrid" organs (those that combine artificial and natural components), tissue engineering, and cellular therapies, it was renamed the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. The Institute is the single base of operations for leading scientists and clinicians at UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh working to develop new regenerative therapies.
The William G. McGowan Charitable Fund continues to support the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
Our History
The McGowan Institute was originally established in 1992 as the McGowan Center for Artificial Organ Development.
Our researchers and physicians are our greatest resources. They have an extraordinary passion for developing new and improved therapies for conditions that have thus far eluded cures.

We're rolling north on I-75 toward Atlanta in a '69 Cadillac convertible, top down, a rangy country singer and his road manager smoking cigars up front and two dignified members of the press scarfing Moon Pies in the back. The sun's a hazy fireball, turning the long ribbon of asphalt, the tall Georgia pines, and the hot, heavy air itself a delirious, misty pink; the only thing missing is a soundtrack. Suddenly, though, there is one, a rockabilly howl so frisky and sly you'd think there was a baby bobcat in this car: "I'm a ca-a-a-lm, c-o-o- o-l DADDY!/ In a lo-o-o-ng, re-e-ed CADDY!/ Cadillac Man!/ (Cadillac Man!)/ I'm a Cadillac Man!/ (Cadillac Man!)"
Marty Brown's feeling fine, and no wonder. Only a year or so ago he was cutting tobacco and working as a plumber to make the trailer payments and support a wife and two kids in his hometown of Maceo, Ky. (population 400), driving down to Nashville every chance he got with his guitar and a pillowcase full of songs and getting the doors of Music Row slammed in his face. Then, in an apotheosis so dramatic, so Nashville, that it was documented on 48 Hours last spring, he got his big break: After spending the night in a Nashville alley — and not for the first time, either — he came across the words "Trust Jesus" scrawled on a sidewalk — not just any sidewalk but the one outside the BMI building. He went straight upstairs to the office of mover-and-shaker Kurt Denny (then associate director of writer-publisher relations), blew him away with his songs, and lo, the doors of Music Row did open.
Now his debut album, High and Dry, has been released on MCA, and critics are comparing his "choke-and-moan" vocal technique to the hallowed Hank Williams Sr. and his low-down country-blues style to the young Elvis Presley. With a musical sensibility rooted in the deeply rural traditions of '50s country music, Brown's being touted as the real deal, and boy is he ever. Until this year he'd never been more than a couple hundred miles away from blink-and-you-miss-it Maceo. Now, at age 26, he's not only played at the Grand Ole Opry, he's also seen the Atlantic Ocean for the first time (he liked it), eaten his first Chinese food (didn't like it), and taken his first plane ride (hated it).
But not everybody is rushing to hail Marty Brown as the man who's putting the country back into country music. To be sure, Brown's two singles, "Every Now and Then" and "High and Dry," have been getting played on smaller radio stations, and TNN and CMT have been airing the videos. But the major country radio stations — who are doing just fine with the traditional but incomparably slicker "hat acts" like Garth Brooks, Clint Black, and Alan Jackson — have yet to play his music.

What can I eat on a low sugar diet for chronic yeast?
my doctor (DO) suggested that I cut spinal column on sugar because I keep getting yeast infections every other month.
And while I dont eat much educated sugar - EVERYTHING has sugar of some kind.
Anyone know of any websites that might confer a list of things I can eat?
Anyone know how long I'll hold to try this before I start seeing any results - this problem is beginning to drive me crazy - and its destroying my sex life span..which is just plain depressing.
Answer: Avoid sugars, white bread, white rice, refined flours and starches, carbs, cornbread, corn, anything next to yeast in it, etc.
HIgh fructose corn syrup is another thing to avoid (read labels). And don't drink any sweet drinks, liquid, sweet tea, soda, even diet soda (it is better to avoid it because it can increase sugar cravings).
Try to eat more lean proteins - beans, chicken breast, fish, etc. And eat veggies, but not fruits (at first). Also put away low fat dairy, especially yogurt (it has live cultures that serve regulate yeast growth.) Seeds, nuts, whole grains (like oatmeal, barley, etc) are also honourable for you.
Ask your doctor to put you on a low dose of Nystatin or Diflucan to regulate yeast levels. And you can also take Garlic or make the addition of it to your diet (it is antimicrobial), and take Probiotic supplements. Acidophilus and other probiotics can help crowd out the yeast and prevent it from coming final later.
Like always, exercise and drinking hose help a lot. And capture your husband/boyfriend to follow the same regimen so you don't just overhaul it back and forth to eachother..
Please review the National Institute of Health article below for the causes of yeast. Note that your sex duration may be the cause of your problem. Your mate may well be carrying the source of your infection. If your mate have not been treated then he probably is carrying yeast on or surrounded by his penis or genitals. Men often have no symptoms. Men can be treated beside a single or multiple dose of Diflucan. Also anything that throws off your acid set off or interferes with normal immune response can motive yeast problems. Unless you are diabetic It is unlikely sugar is the cause. Yes, sugar feeds yeast. So, while MOST commercially prepared foods contain sugar of some sort, the fresh, nature-made veggies and fruits do not. So, what is wrong beside eating as our bodies intended? Go Vegan while you have the yeasty entity going on. It will help get rid of it inwardly a couple of days. Also, avoid alcoholic beverages while on a yeast free diet.
While you are on a Vegan diet, there is a home remedy that you can use yourself. This is painful, but it works. Remember, I said bumpy, but it actually works. Dip a q-tip swab in rubbing alcohol and insert it into your vajay-jay. Yep, I said it be going to hurt. Wipe the outside of the labia with a cotton ball soaked surrounded by alcohol and even your thighs and anal and perineum area. Make sure you do the same entry with your boyfriend as OFTEN guys have it and present it to you without you knowing he has it. So you can treat yourself, but if he have it, he will keep giving it back to you! This will straight cure the yeast infection. However, if you still have yeast inside your body, the yeast will regrow since women have a heat up, moist environment that yeast thrive in! So, again, go Vegan for more or less a week.
Something else to consider is that yeast infections are contagious. Are you sure he has been trusty to you?

The term TMD means "Temporomandibular Disorder." But if you suffer from this disorder, it means pain. The pain can be mild or severe, acute or chronic, and it can appear to be centered in different locations, making it difficult to diagnose.
People who clench or grind their teeth because of stress often experience the pain of TMD. They might not even know they are engaging in these habits, because they do them subconsciously, for example when driving in traffic or engaging in vigorous exercise. Another cause of TMD might be an injury such as a blow to the jaw.
You can feel your temporomandibular joints working if you place your fingers in front of your ears and move your lower jaw up and down. On each side the joint is composed of an almond shaped structure at the end of the lower jaw, called the condyle, which fits neatly into a depression in the temporal bone (the bone on the side of your skull near your ear). A small disc between the two bones allows the lower jaw to move forward and sideways. The joints are stabilized by ligaments and moved by muscles.
TMD pain is the result of a process that begins when a stimulus such as psychological stress or an injury to the joint causes spasms (involuntary muscle contractions) in the muscles that move the joint. Blood vessels in the muscle begin to accumulate waste products, causing chemical changes and lactic acid buildup in the muscle. Nerves in the muscle then signal the brain to stop the movement of the jaw by registering pain.
TMD pain can appear to originate from various locations in your jaw, head, or neck. This is why it's important to make an appointment with our office for a professional assessment and diagnosis.
Treatment aims to relieve the symptoms of pain and discomfort and to prevent them from recurring in the future. Treatment can include heat, mild painkillers, muscle relaxants, soft diet, and simple jaw exercises, as well as education regarding the causes of TMD. To prevent further pain you may be provided with a "bite guard," or referred to relaxation training with a licensed therapist. A bite guard is designed to prevent the lower teeth from biting hard into the upper teeth. It is commonly worn at night, but can also be worn during the day if clenching and grinding are apparent.
If these simpler treatments do not solve the problem, we may recommend more complex procedures such as bite adjustment or, as a last resort, surgical treatment may be needed.

While we have gained recognition for our role in creating gorgeous smiles with porcelain veneers, the often overlooked or unknown key contributors in this process are the dental laboratory technicians. These behind-the-scenes artists are the trained professionals in the art of using dental porcelain to hand-craft veneers and crowns into near exact replicas of natural teeth in shine, opacity, translucence and shape.
Through the use of precise molds and excellent communication skills, we share detailed information with the laboratory technician to create veneers or crowns specifically for enhancing and improving your smile. In fact, communication must be so exact that it often demands correct lighting, cameras and computers to produce optimal results. This process also requires a variety of colors, shapes and translucency, created so that once we cement them into place, they appear as beautiful natural teeth. If your veneers are part of a smile restoration or makeover and you are getting them for several front teeth, the end results are typically brighter and whiter than your natural teeth. However, they must blend with surrounding teeth if those teeth are not also receiving veneers. So it is often recommended to have your natural teeth whitened before the veneers are replaced.
Good dental porcelains in the right hands can make for spectacular tooth imitations by mimicking tooth enamel perfectly. And now that you have these facts, you begin to understand all of the expertise, artistry, and the technology required by laboratory technicians to produce the most dazzling porcelain veneers.

One of the most common treatments we are asked about is a root canal and the unfortunate bad reputation associated with it. The truth is that the procedure actually relieves the pain associated with the problem and not visa versa. And here's why.
A root canal or endodontic treatment ("endo" – inside; "dont" – tooth) is a necessary procedure in which diseased pulp tissue — and the nerve, which responds by causing the pain — is removed. This is followed by cleaning and sealing the root canals. This usually results from pulp inflammation and infection as a result of a severe decay or in a heavily filled tooth. Root canal treatment is typically performed by general dentists who have taken specialized training or by endodontists, dentists who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of root canal problems. We perform them here in our practice to save a tooth, literally, from further damage and/or loss.
Here is a quick overview of the procedure. We will begin by making a small opening in the chewing surface of your tooth so that we can access the tooth's root canal. We use small instruments to remove the dead and dying tissues of the pulp. The root canals are cleaned and disinfected. The canals are then sealed with a biocompatible filling material. Lastly, we will seal the access hole with a filling material. You will then need to get a permanent restoration or crown to protect the tooth fully.
If you feel that you have the symptoms of a root canal problem and may need a root canal treatment, contact us to schedule an appointment. And to learn more about the signs, symptoms, and what to expect after root canal treatment, read the article "Common Concerns About Root Canal Treatment."
The term "root canal" strikes fear into many dental patients. But rest assured that this procedure is the best solution to many severe dental problems. It can be pain-free and will actually relieve pain and suffering from infections and dental injuries.
Why would you need root canal treatment? This procedure becomes necessary when the pulp, the nerve tissue on the inside of a tooth's root, becomes inflamed or infected because of deep decay, or when it has suffered a severe injury as a result of an accident or blow to the mouth. The pulp is composed of living tissues including nerves and blood vessels.
Root canal treatment may be necessary if you have a wide variety of signs or symptoms. The pain can feel sharp or intense when biting down, or linger after eating hot or cold foods. Sometimes it can be a dull ache or there may be tenderness and swelling in your gums near the site of the infection.
After trauma, the pulp of a tooth can be exposed or damaged because a tooth has fractured or cracked, necessitating root canal treatment. And the procedure is often needed for permanent teeth that have been dislodged or knocked out.
What exactly is root canal treatment? Root canal treatment is also called endodontic treatment, from the Greek roots "endo" meaning "inside" and "odont" meaning "tooth." During the procedure, the area is numbed to relieve pain. A small opening is created in the chewing surface of the tooth and very small instruments are used to remove dead and dying tissue from the inside. The pulp is needed during a tooth's growth and development, but a mature tooth can survive without it. The canal is disinfected and then sealed with filling materials. Sometimes root canal specialists use microscopes to work at an intricate level of detail on these tiny areas of the tooth's root.
By having root canal treatment, you prevent inflammation and infection from spreading from the root of a particular tooth to other nearby tissues. Infection can result in resorption, an eating away of the root and its anchoring bone, and you could lose your tooth or teeth. So please don't hesitate when we recommend this treatment. It's not as bad as you think, and you will feel significantly better afterwards.
Contact us today to schedule an appointment to discuss your questions about root canal treatment. You can also learn more by reading the Dear Doctor magazine articles "Common Concerns About Root Canal Treatment" and "Trauma & Nerve Damage to Teeth."

I have had the privilege of knowing Jeff Burrow for some time now. I contracted him out to do some work for me and found him to be a hard worker, very honest and intelligent. We had a problem on how to feasibly make my project become a reality, but he was able to come up with the solution.
In today's society we slowly see our freedoms eroding away. I know Jeff's views on supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States and that he understands that any elected official's position should be first and foremost to protect the rights of the people.
On October 16th of this year, the Bitterroot Natural Resource Recovery Committee held a debate to discuss the Ravalli County resource policy. All of the county commissioner candidates were invited. I can understand Dave Smith not wanting to show up and debate Greg Chilcott on the subject, since Dave has already expressed the fact that he does not think the county should be involved in coordinating with the federal government on plans and polices that directly affect the citizens of Ravalli County. I am very surprised on one hand, that Mr. Ormiston declined the invitation. I would think that John, being a long time forest service employee, would jump on the opportunity to debate on a subject such as natural resources, since he clearly should not debate on financial or fiscal matters after the park board property purchase he was involved in on Kurtz Lane, where the county taxpayer is now stuck with a large mortgage on vacant property.
On the other hand, I understand that he would want to keep his environmental views quiet until after the election. I believe that if his ideas (the forest service knows best/ save the wolves/ let the forest burn for bird habitat/ close the roads for wilderness and animal preservation/ and that our county should not have a seat at the federal government to have input on how to best handle our forests) were known to the general public, he would lose the election. He is pretending to be something he is not, indicating to voters that he is the common sense and rational choice. The above views of Mr. Ormiston, I believe, are not rational and do not belong here in Ravalli County. Before you vote, do the research yourself. You will find online published works written by Ormiston backing his views.
I know that Jeff, having been born and raised here in the Bitterroot understands the problems facing our community and I know without any doubt Jeff Burrows would be a great asset in our county.
As for myself, I will always choose candidates not based on party lines, but for an individual who will stand for honesty and integrity and will be the rational choice for Ravalli County.
