A. Field of the Invention
This invention relates in general to cooling systems and, in particular, to a capacity control system for regulating chillers.
More specifically, without restriction to the particular use which is shown and described, this invention relates to an evaporator inlet water temperature control system for inverter-driven centrifugal compressor chillers by which evaporator inlet water temperature is controlled by creating the proper evaporator outlet chilled water temperature.
Large capacity air-conditioning systems commonly have employed centrifugal compressors having guide vanes which are adjustable to control the capacity of the compressor for effective and efficient operation. Control of compressor capacity through adjustment of the vanes alone, has proved to be unsatisfactory because of its resultant low efficiency operation of the system. In an effort to overcome such problems, attempts have been made to control not only the position of the pre-rotation vanes, but to regulate the speed of the electric motor driving the compressor for purpose of an energy effective system and to avoid surge.
One highly effective system which relies on vane adjustment and speed control to achieve superior capacity control of a centrifugal compressor chiller, is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,725 to Kountz et al for A Control System for Regulating Large Capacity Rotating Machinery and assigned to the assignee of this invention. In the system disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,725, a control system effectively maximizes efficiency without encountering surge problems by monitoring the temperature of the refrigerant in the condenser discharge line, the temperature of the saturated refrigerant leaving the evaporator, the temperature of the chilled water discharged from the evaporator of the chiller, and the inlet guide vane position. Based on the foregoing four parameters and a set point temperature input, the control system described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,725 effectively regulates the refrigeration system by regulating the speed of the compressor and adjusting vane position.
The temperature of the chilled water sensed at the outlet from the evaporator in U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,725 is applied to a circuit which also receives a temperature set point signal from a potentiometer or another suitable unit, such as a thermostat in the building space. Thus, a signal is derived representing the difference, if any, between the set point temperature of the thermostat and the like and the instantaneous load. Greater efficiency could be attained in such a refrigeration system, however, if the inlet water being directed to the evaporator on return from the building is constantly monitored and the capacity control system is responsive thereto to maintain a constant or set point temperature at the inlet regardless of the load conditions. Maintenance of the set point inlet temperature of the water to the evaporator in response to actual load conditions would result in significantly improved efficiency and economy of operation since a variable input related directly to the temperature of the water after circulation is applied to the capacity control system.
B. Prior Art Patents
U.S. Pat. No. 4,112,703 to Kountz discloses a refrigeration control system in which a controlled space is maintained at a set point by adjusting the refrigerant temperature at the evaporator outlet in a refrigeration system. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,751,940 to Norbeck, a refrigeration system is disclosed having circuit means for automatically energizing the PRV motor.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to maintain the inlet water temperature to a compressor of a chiller at a predetermined set point.
Another object of this invention is to maintain the inlet water to an evaporator of a chiller at a set point by regulating the water temperature at the evaporator outlet.
A further object of this invention is to achieve pull-down of a chiller to an inlet set point temperature of an evaporator by establishing a predetermined temperature difference between the inlet set point and the initial outlet set point of the evaporator.
Still another object of this invention is to generate an adaptive set point to maintain exit evaporator temperature as a differential function of inlet water set point temperature and actual water input temperature.
These and other objects are attained in accordance with the present invention wherein there is provided an evaporator inlet water temperature control system for an inverter driven centrifugal compressor. The set point temperature at the inlet to the evaporator is maintained by the system of the invention by creating the proper temperature of the chilled water at the evaporator outlet. The system herein disclosed includes means to develop a differential signal as a function of actual inlet temperature and inlet set point temperature which is compared to first and second reference voltages to establish a dead zone band in which an error signal is acceptable. During pull-down of the system until the evaporator inlet temperature reaches set point, the inlet and outlet temperature of the evaporator are maintained at a predetermined temperature difference. Upon the inlet temperature reaching the set point after pull-down, flip-flop circuit means are provided to cause outlet temperature to be regulated to maintain inlet temperature within a dead zone band of acceptable error during load conditions.
Further objects of the invention, together with additional features contributing thereto and advantages accruing therefrom, will be apparent from the following description of several embodiments of the invention which are shown in the accompanying drawings with like reference numerals indicating corresponding parts throughout, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the incorporation of the evaporator inlet water temperature control system of the invention in a capacity control system to regulate the operation of a cooling system;
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram which illustrates the circuit details of the evaporator inlet water temperature control system of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a graphical illustration useful in understanding the operation of the invention shown in FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram of another embodiment of the evaporator inlet water temperature control system of the invention.
Although not intended to be so limited, the evaporator inlet water temperature control system of the invention is shown in FIG. 1 as being incorporated in the control system for regulating large capacity rotating machinery as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,725, to which reference is specifically made herein. In FIG. 1 there is illustrated the control system and cooling equipment in block diagram shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,725 employing the evaporator inlet water temperature control system of the invention. In the following description, a general description is set forth of the components and related function of the cooling system shown in FIG. 1 to which the inlet temperature control system herein disclosed may, for example, supply a control signal to achieve an evaporator outlet temperature at a level to maintain a set point inlet temperature.
FIG. 1 depicts certain conventional components of a cooling system, such as a centrifugal compressor 20 for passing refrigerant (such as R-11 or another suitable medium) through line 21 to a condenser 22. In the condenser the water from the cooling tower passes from line 23 into the condenser, and is returned over line 24 to the cooling tower, or to the other head rejection means. The refrigerant at the discharge side of the condenser 22 is passed over line 25, through a fixed orifice 26, and line 27 to the refrigerant inlet connection of the evaporator. The refrigerant passes through the evaporator and out the duct 30, which includes a plurality of inlet guide vanes 31 positioned as shown. In this description the inlet guide vanes are termed PRV, or prerotation vanes, and the position of the PRV is regulated by a small motor 32 which receives a control signal over a plurality of conductors, here represented as a single line 33. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that a plurality of conductors are represented by the single lines of FIG. 1. The higher temperature water from the building (or other cooling load) is returned over line 34, cooled in the evaporator 28, and the chilled water is returned to the building over line 35.
An induction motor 36 is coupled over shaft 39 to the centrifugal compressor 20, and this motor 36 is itself driven from an inverter 37. The inverter receives a d-c input voltage over line 38, thus determining the amplitude of the inverter output voltage. A voltage control circuit 40 is provided between a voltage supply line 41 and line 38 which passes the voltage to the inverter. This can be a conventional circuit, such as a phase-controlled rectifier circuit, which receives an input a-c voltage on line 41 and provides a d-c voltage on line 38 which is regulated in accordance with the signal received over line 42. If no regulation is necessary, a d-c voltage can be supplied over line 38 to the inverter from batteries, a transformer-rectifier, or any suitable source. The frequency of the inverter output voltage is regulated by the periodicity of the timing signals, or gating signals, supplied over line 43 from a logic circuit 44. This is a well-known circuit which receives a regulating signal on line 45 and utilizes this regulating signal to govern the frequency of the pulses supplied on line 43. One well-recognized arrangement receives a d-c voltage as a control signal on line 45, and a voltage-controlled oscillator in the logic circuit 44 provides pulses at a frequency determined by the amplitude of the signal on line 45. The logic circuit generally includes a ring-counter type circuit to distribute the pulses to as many thyristors or other switches as are used in the inverter circuit.
The control system 50 is utilized to regulate not only the speed of induction motor 36, but also the physical position of the pre-rotation vanes 31, by a speed control signal supplied over line 51 and a vane position (drive open or drive closed) signal supplied over line 33. The circuit arrangement of the invention insures that surge is avoided, and that the compressor is regulated in the most energy-efficient manner. In this embodiment the speed control signal is a d-c voltage supplied from an integrating circuit 52, and the vane control signal can be either an "open vanes" signal on line 53 of a "close vanes" signal on line 54, or no signal ("hold vanes"). These output control signals are derived from different input signals, including a first signal on line 55 which is provided by a thermistor or other temperature sensing unit 56 positioned to contact the refrigerant in the condenser discharge line as shown. A second signal is provided on line 57, obtained from a second-sensing means or thermistor 58 which is exposed to the saturated refrigerant vapor leaving the evaporator. The first and second signals are combined in a summation means 59, which can be a differential amplifier circuit, to provide a resultant signal on line 60 which connotes the head of the compressor. A suitable means in the control system which utilizes this signal, and the other input signals, is described in detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,725.
A potentiometer 61 is shown with its movable arm or wiper mechanically coupled to the PRV, or to the output shaft of motor 32 which drives the PRV. Thus, the electrical signal on line 62 indicates the physical position (fully open, 3/4 open, and so forth) of the inlet guide vanes in a continuous manner. The inlet guide vane position signal can be appropriately combined with the compressor-head-indicating signal to assist in regulating the compressor operation.
A third temperature sensing means, which can be another thermistor 63, is positioned to sense the temperature of the chilled water discharged from the evaporator 28. Thermistor 63 thus provides a third signal, which is applied over line 64 to another differential amplifier stage 65, which also receives an evaporator inlet temperature set point signal from a fourth temperature sensing means such as, for example, in the form of a thermistor 66. Thermistor 66 is positioned in line 34 at the inlet of evaporator 28 to sense the temperature of the water on its return from its circuit through the building or other environment in which the system is operating.
The inlet temperature sensed by thermistor 66 is directed to the evaporator inlet water temperature control system of the invention which is generally designated by reference numeral 80 and will be described in detail later. Inlet temperature control circuit 80 monitors the evaporator inlet temperature in comparison to a selected inlet set point temperature and provides control system 80 with a signal to establish the proper outlet temperature of the evaporator to maintain the inlet water at its set point. Thus, the output signal on line 67 represents the difference, if any, between the condition called for (denoted by the signal derived from inlet control circuit 80) and the instantaneous load condition (represented by the signal on line 64).
In the foregoing description, a general perspective of a known refrigeration arrangement and the control system has been provided. For more specific details as to the circuitry and function of control system 50 utilized in controlling operation of the cooling system through adjustments of the inlet guide position of the PRV and speed of motor 36 of compressor 20, reference is made specifically to U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,725.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is illustrated circuit details in schematic form of one embodiment of the evaporator inlet water temperature control system 80 of the invention to establish an outlet water temperature of the evaporator at a level sufficient to maintain the set point of the water inlet temperature of the evaporator. In FIG. 2, the inlet water temperature to the evaporator sensed by thermistor 66 is passed over line 81 and one of the 24 k resistors to an input terminal of a differential amplifier 82. The signal from the set point potentiometer 83, representing the set point inlet water temperature, is passed over line 84 and another 24 k resistor to the other input connection of stage 82 to sum the error between the set point inlet water temperature established by potentiometer 83 and the actual inlet temperature sensed by thermistor 66. A nominal d-c voltage of 5.50 volts is applied to the input of differential amplifier 82 and the output of amplifier 82 is 5.50 volts when there is no temperature error. When the output is other than 5.50 volts, this represents the temperature error signal on line 85 equal to the difference between set point and actual temperature. The signal on line 85 is passed to amplifier stages 86 and 87 to provide logic signals on lines 88 and 89 when the difference between the inlet set point temperature and inlet water temperature exceeds the amount of the dead band, or the dead zone area. In the illustrated embodiment, the dead zone was set to include a temperature difference of �0.1� F., electrically represented by the difference between 5.12 volts and 5.86 volts applied to the stages 86 and 87. The expected voltage versus temperature relationship for the inlet thermistor 66 is: ##EQU1##
The signal from stage 86, representing a dead zone logic signal A*, is passed over line 88 to an inverter 90, and as an input to a NAND gate 91. The inverted logic signal A*, after passing through inverter 90, is directed to a flip-flop 92 which is set in a manner to be described. The output signal from flip-flop 92 in the form of logic A*mem is passed over line 93 to an inverter 94 and subsequently by line 95 as one input to a NOR gate 96. The other dead zone logic signal B* formed by stage 87 is passed over a line 89 to one input of a NAND gate 100. The logic signal formed by flip-flop 92 on line 93 is coupled to second inputs to NAND gates 91 and 100. The third input of NAND gates 91 and 100 is provided by a timer chip circuit 101 which passes a logic signal F* to NAND gates 91 and 100 over line 102. Logic F* may be a data pulse of width of 1-2 seconds and having a period of 2-5 minutes, the function of which will be described later. The outputs from NAND gates 91 and 100 are respectively directed through inverters 103 and 104 and form respective logics. The signal created by NAND gate 91 and inverter 103 represents a logic Ld whereby Ld=F*A*A*mem. NAND gate 100 and inverter 104 create logic Li whereby Li=F*B*A*mem. Ld is a logic signal to decrease evaporator outlet temperature set point and Li is a logic signal to increase outlet water temperature set point. In addition, the logic, Lm, to maintain the outlet set point temperature is defined by
where Lr=A*mem.
Logic Ld is passed over line 105 as a second input to NOR gate 96 and as input to a transmission gate 106 having approximately 4.5 volts applied thereto. The logic Li is passed over line 107 as the third input to NOR gate 96 and further controls a second transmission gate 108 and release of approximately 6.5 volts. A third transmission gate 109 controlled by the logic signal Lm from NOR gate 96, controls release of a voltage of 5.5 volts. It should be apparent to one skilled in the art that release of gates 106, 108 and 109 is determined by logic signals, Li, Ld and Lm, respectively.
The output of potentiometer 83, representing the evaporator inlet set temperature, is passed over line 110 to the positive input of amplifier 111 having a voltage of 4.695 volts applied to its negative input. Another amplifier stage 112, having a 5.5 d-c voltage being applied to its positive input, directs a 5.5 volt nominal signal, during pull-down of the system, over line 113 to be combined with the output from amplifier 111 passed over line 114 whereby the initial value of the outlet water set point voltage is 0.805 volts higher (i.e., 10� F. lower) than the set point voltage of the inlet water. The amplifier stage 112 includes a transmission gate 115 connected thereacross and released by logic A*mem during pull-down to produce the 5.5 volts nominal output. After pull-down of the system, amplifier 112 then acts as an integrating circuit as will be apparent. The combined outputs from stages 111 and 112 are passed through amplifier stage 120 which produces a signal representing outlet water temperature set point to be passed by line 121 as an input to differential amplifier 65 of capacity control circuit 50 of FIG. 1. Amplifier 65 in control circuit 50 corresponds to amplifier 65 as shown in FIG. 6A in the above-identified Kountz et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,151,725. In effect, the fixed 24 K resistor coupled to terminal 10 of amplifier 65 in Kountz et al. becomes, in the present invention, a variable resistance controlled by the evaporator inlet water temperature control circuit.
As shown in FIG. 3, the higher voltage of additional 0.805 volts as the initial outlet set point temperature establishes from initial start-up the pull-down function of outlet and inlet temperature which continues until such time as the set point of the inlet water is attained. During the pull-down phase, logic signal A* is logical high (1) whereby the logics applied to transmission gates 106, 108 and 109 are all logical low (0). During pull-down, it should further be apparent to one skilled in the art that the logic signal passed over line 95 from inverter 94 is high and releases transmission gate 115 connected across amplifier 112.
When the inlet water set point has been reached after pull-down as graphically represented in FIG. 3, logic signal A* goes low and thereby sets flip-flop 92 forming the logic signal A*mem. When logic signal A*mem goes high the logic on line 95 is low to open gate 115 across amplifier 112. Thereafter, gates 106 and 108 are selectively released to alter outlet water set point to maintain the wave form shown in FIG. 3 after an initial increase in the outlet temperature after set point has been passed. After pull-down, the logic A* goes low and A* goes high as shown in FIG. 3 while the ΔT required by the load is established. Thereafter, the formation of logic signals Lm, Ld and Li operate to control gates 106, 108, and 109 as required to balance the load and maintain evaporator inlet temperature. The logic F* from the timer chip circuit 101 during a pulse forms an input to NAND gates 91 and 100 and controls whether one of the signals Ld or Li are logical high. Between pulses of logic F*, three inputs of logic low are applied to NOR gate 96 to release gate 109. Thus, the alternate voltages of pulsed nature are applied to integrator 112. The output from integrator 112 is passed on line 113 and is combined with the signal from amplifier 114 to maintain inlet evaporator temperature.
Referring now to FIG. 4, there is illustrated still another embodiment of the evaporated inlet water temperature control system of the invention, generally designated by reference numeral 150. The control system 150 of FIG. 4 performs a similar function to regulate the inlet water temperature as was described with reference to the control system shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The output of the control system 150 is coupled to the capacity control system 50 as described in connection with the preceding embodiment of the invention. The temperature of the inlet water to the evaporator 28 shown in FIG. 1 is sensed by thermistor 66a and compared to an inlet temperature set point represented by potentiometer 83a and a difference between the actual temperature and the set point temperature is formed by differential amplifier 82a as in the previous described embodiment. The output from differential amplifier 82a is passed over line 84a to a gate 151 and through a comparator circuit 152 which provides a logic signal A* on line 153 that is logical zero when the difference between inlet temperature is greater than the acceptable set selected zone determined by the 5.124 volts applied to stage 152. The logic signal on line 153 is directed to a flip-flop 154 similar in function to flip-flop 92 previously described in FIG. 2. Flip-flop 154 passes on lines 155 and 156 respectively, a logic signal A*mem. The logic signal passed over line 156 is coupled to a pulser 160 which generates a pulse output similar to the pulse output of timing chip circuit 101 of the preceding embodiment. The other logic signal formed by flip-flop 154 on line 155 is passed to a transmission gate 161 connected across amplifier 112a. The function of amplifier 112a is identical to amplifier 112 described with reference to FIG. 2. The output from amplifier 112a is passed over line 113a to amplifier stage 123a of similar design as amplifier 123 in the previous embodiment.
Similarly as described with reference to the embodiment of FIG. 2, a signal is passed over line 110a through an amplifier 111a which acts to subtract a voltage of 4.695 from the 5.5 set point voltage of the inlet water temperature. During pull-down, the control circuit of FIG. 4 operates to permit the temperature of inlet water to reach set point as determined by the voltage supplied by amplifiers 112a and 111a to stage 123a, which is 0.805 volts higher than the set point inlet temperature. When the inlet temperature reaches the set point reference voltage, the signal on line 153 goes logical high whereby the flip-flop circuit causes the signal on line 156 to go logical high to generate pulses from pulser 160 while logic on line 155 goes low to close transmission gate 161. Thus, the pulser 160 generates an output signal to control release of transmission gate 151 and apply a pulsed signal to integrator 112a. The pulse height is dependent upon the error magnitude coming from differential amplifier 82a representing the difference between actual inlet temperature and set point inlet temperature. The rate of change in the integrator output directed to amplifier 123a over line 121a is dependent upon the magnitude of temperature error, to provide an input to control system as previously noted. The pulses from pulser 160 may be terminated directly by resetting pulser 160 and flip-flop 154.
While the invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiments disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include embodiments falling within the scope of the appended claims.

Discussion in 'iOS Themes and Customization' started by frickinchance113, Mar 18, 2009.
i want to ssh some icons for my picnic theme but idk how to and where to...?
SOOOO many tutorials on this...
Download WinSCP. Get some kind of an SSH app on your phone through Cydia, like AutomaticSSH. Also get Toggle SSH (or SBSettings' toggle works if you have that).
Enable SSH.
Make sure you have Wi-Fi on your phone.
Open WinSCP. Put in the host name (it's your Wi-Fi IP Address)
User name : root
Password: alpine
Save it, click on yes.
Go into private/var/stash/Themes/
Find your theme
Open up the Icons folder and copy paste your icons into it, though make sure they have the exact same name as the application.
Respring your phone.
Separate names with a comma.

I can't believe the mint wasted its time on this Montreal Canadiens coin! There should be a Toronto Maple Leafs logo on that baby. ;)

LOL, gawd0wns, They will probably put one out when they are 100 years old too. Whit the low mintage of only 15000 it may sell for more in the futur, just think the Montreal Bell centre and holds 25k dye hard fans, so thats not even enough for all of them. I did not take any chances and ordered one of each...lol

Of course I didn't order any of these products. Australians are barred from ordering any products from the
Royal Canadian Mint
site. The hide of them. I wish they would change their policy.

Hi Brissyboy
What do you mean by "barred from ordering any products from the
Royal Canadian Mint
site"? Do they not sell their products to other countries? Is it a web site thing?
Just curious.

North of 49,
website does not allow for sales outside of North America. They tell you to purchase from their dealership agents in your home country. For Australia this is Downies which is in Melbourne and Sydney and when you look at their online store, rarely has a wide selection of
products. I have only seen them list the Specimen sets once and when I ordered one (2007 I think it was), they emailed me back later to say it was out of stock. I think the latest coloured 25c they offer is 2003. They do have the recent proof set and I think mint set. Most of the issues I would like, they don't appear to have.
I have appealed (complained) to the
to allow overseas purchases especially from Australia.
Thanks for your interest. You can buy whatever you like from our RAM.

I live only about a mile from the Mint. I do know that they have a store where one can get a fair amount of their product, but I am not sure how far they go back in their inventory. If you like, I could drop in and check the place out and get some information for you on it.
Would you believe I've lived in this location for almost five years and still haven't taken a tour of it?

WpgLwr, you must have a tour! I took my students on a tour several times and you'd really enjoy it. Living so close to the mint you really have no excuse not to visit, except for time constraints, of course.

I know, you're totally right. Even the kids have been there on school trips. Sounds like an interesting outing out for me and the Missus -- she's lived in the city longer than I have and she's never been, either.

Hi Brissyboy
That's a real shame, its almost as if the are being selective about who gets to buy their products.
This is sort of funny ,I'm looking at an advertisement for the new proof silver 100th anniversary Montreal Can. coin and the mintage is listed at 15,000 WORLDWIDE. I guess that's a bit of a misleading statement when everybody worldwide doesn't have the opportunity to buy one.
by the way , what coins/sets are you looking for?

Firstly WpgLwr, thanks for the offer to check out the Mint's store. Secondly, to answer North of 49 and give you an idea of what to keep an eye out for, I am trying to collect the various 25c (I know there is a lot of them given all the coloured "Team" issues, Canada Day, Christmas, 2010 Winter Olympics and so on, also the "circulation type" dollars (loonies) which means the special issues like in the Specimen Sets too and I also really like the two dollars issues (toonies). I usually have to try and buy off eBay and of course so does everyone else I guess if they live outside of North America. When I was in Toronto in early 2006, I did buy up on some (QE2 only) at one of the dealers, single coins from broken up sets, varieties and so forth.
Do either of you collect Australian decimals?

Hi Brissyboy (Wayne)
I only collect Canadian coins, but from what I see on the web the RAM has some pretty nice coins.
Being a new member to the forum I don't think I'm permitted to trade etc. yet. I think I need 50 or 100 posts first, I'll have to check the regulations. But that being said, I sure don't have a problem helping out a fellow collecter once in a while. Now that I know what your looking for I'll keep an eye open.

Hi Brissy,
Yeah, I have a fair amount of Australian decimal coinage, and I wouldn't mind filling in some blanks. E-mail me and we can see what we can work out.

Dumarsais Leclerc was a Haitian.
He was at least fifty years old in 1915, since he remembered the times before Lincoln recognised their country's independence.
He and Vincent were drinking Clairin outside Vincent's house in the northern part of Port-au-Prince when the TARDIS materialised nearby. The noise made them decide to continue their drinking inside the house. (PROSE: White Darkness)

(this is her dominant personality type)
(she also shows elements of this type)
Geek in the Pink
She is an executive and tends to be consistent, reliable, thorough and persevering.
She likes people and is generally comfortable with them. She also likes concrete and focused conversations on everything from trivia to the important topics of the day.
She needs a partner who is devoted to family, sensible with money, responsible with possessions, compassionate, and wants to have detailed and informed conversations.
A few excerpts from her personality test:
- I often find myself getting lost in my thoughts during the day
- I get bored when I have to do the same familiar things
- I am able to solve problems without letting emotion get in the way
Her 11 interests
in her own words...
Mild mannered geeky girl with a fairly busy life looking for someone who likes superhero movies, sushi, and not so big on the bar scene. With me so far? I like going for coffee, trying new places to eat, museums, cooking, going to the park and swinging on the swings, music of all kinds, bowling even though I'm horrible, sometimes even hulahooping. I believe in spellchecker, first impressions, and having a sense of humor. Fall down and be able to laugh at yourself. Sometimes you need to take life seriously, but mostly it's best to try and take the most optimistic view and laugh at the absurdities. I'm a single mom who works full time and my children live with me a majority of the time. I don't have a bunch of free time but I will text and go out when I can. For the right person I think you make the time to connect. I've become a bit of a gym nut. I go at least 4 days a week, but I try for 5. I also have a few tattoos so if that is not your thing, then you might want to move along. *waves hand* This is not the droid you are looking for. You- Goofy sense of humor, nerdy, smart, okay with my superhero/dr.who/sci-fi obsessions, as comfortable staying in as going out, doesn't send unsolicited nudes (it happens more often than you think), into being healthy and taking care of yourself, but will go for the occasional piece of pie, because well pie doesn't need an explanation. Definitely want friends first that can evolve into something more. I'm not looking for some whirlwind romance that fizzles in a week. Also if you made it this far and didn't just look at the pictures, reply and tell me how awesome mustaches are, if you are sad Firefly ended so soon and what your plan is for the zombie apocalypse. Also, have a cookie. ;)

STAMFORD - Stamford police are searching for four men they say assaulted and robbed another man on Selleck Street Monday night.
Police say the 26-year-old victim was held up around at around 11 p.m. while he was walking to his home. According to authorities, the four robbers stole several hundred dollars before fleeing on foot. Lt. Sean Cooney, of the Stamford Police Department, says many similar robberies have recently occurred in Stamford's immigrant community.
"They distrust the banks," Cooney says. "They are feeling safe about leaving the money at home, so we find quite often that people do carry large sums of cash. We've tried in the past to discourage that, but it seems to still prevail."
Cooney says the victim suffered a broken nose and was treated at Stamford Hospital. Stamford police ask anyone with information to call the detectives at 203-977-4417.

Pension schemes call for looser investment rules
Local authority pension schemes, which suffered significant losses last year – partly because of heavy allocations to traditional asset classes – should be allowed to invest more in private equity and other alternative asset classes, an accountancy industry body has said.
According to a report for the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy, local authority pension scheme executives and advisers believe investment limits "are becoming, if they are not already, a barrier to fund diversification".
The report has recommended moving to principles-based regulations that would allow pension schemes more freedom to invest in different regions and asset classes.
It said: "An alternative approach may be to replace the limits by a series of principles with regard to which funds are required to operate...by using a principles-based approach, schemes would be free to continue to pursue liability-driven investment or diversification strategies unencumbered by the current limits whilst still being required to invest in a prudent and proper manner."
Richard McIndoe, head of the Strathclyde pension scheme, who sat on the committee that put the report together, said regulations are likely to remain outdated because they are formatted to target specific investments and structures.
For example, they limit schemes from placing more than 5% of assets in limited partnerships, meaning there is an effective limit on most private equity investments because they are made through such structures.
He said: "At heart the current regulations are a valiant attempt to make sure we invest sensibly, but the way they are formatted means they are always likely to be out of date."
The report based its recommendations on a survey of local authority pension schemes in England, Scotland and Wales. Over half of respondents said that investment regulations are detrimental to efficient portfolio management, and deny access to better risk management strategies and risk/reward opportunities. The survey received 67 responses out of 100 schemes in the three regions.
Bob Summers, chair of the Cipfa pensions panel, wrote: "Our survey has found that whilst many funds have begun to explore alternative markets and to develop ever more sophisticated risk management strategies, many more feel constrained in doing so by the current investment regulations."
The report also showed that a significant minority said restrictions on overseas asset managers had stopped them from adopting their preferred strategies. A third said they had been unable to appoint a manager of choice, and one in 10 said they had been forced to change either their strategy or the allocation of assets between fund managers to comply with the restrictions.

Amazon Announces "Kindle Textbook Rental"

(Source: digitaltrends.com)
Amazon is looking to give students' wallets a bit of relief by introducing Kindle Textbook Rental, which offers tens of thousands of textbooks from well-known textbook publishers like Elsevier, Taylor & Francis and John Wiley & Sons
For those of you who've lived the college experience, you know that the expenses don't end at tuition. Some may pay for room and board, and commuters may pay for parking passes. But one thing everyone must pay for are
, and they certainly aren't cheap.
is looking to give students' wallets a bit of relief by introducing
Kindle Textbook Rental
, which offers tens of thousands of textbooks from well-known textbook publishers like Elsevier, Taylor & Francis and John Wiley & Sons.
Kindle Textbook Rental allows for custom rental periods from 30 to 360 days, where a student only pays for the amount of time they need the book. This rental period can be extended at any time by as little as one day, and these books can even be purchased if the student desires to do so.
Also, the Kindle Textbook Rental service can save students up to 80 percent off on textbook list prices just by using the rental service.
"Students tell us that they enjoy
the low prices we offer
on new and used print textbooks," said Dave Limp, vice president of Amazon Kindle. "Now we're excited to offer students an option to rent Kindle textbooks and only pay for the time they need -- with savings up to 80 percent off the print list price on a 30-day rental."
In addition to allowing students to rent textbooks on their PC, Mac,
mobile device
, the Kindle Textbook Rental service will allow you to store any notes or highlights you made into the cloud, which can be accessed from any device. This allows you to return the book after your rental period without losing that crucial information you noted.
"We've done a little something extra we think students will enjoy," said Limp. "Normally, when you sell your print textbook at the end of the semester you lose all the margin notes and highlights you made as you were studying. We're extending our Whispersync technology so that you get to keep and access all of your notes and highlighted content in the
Amazon Cloud
, available anytime, anywhere -- even after a rental expires. If you choose to rent again or buy at a later time, your notes will be there just as you left them, perfectly Whispersynced."
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

A motorcycle gang chased a man and his family in their SUV down West Side Highway in revenge from running over a few of its members, according to a video going viral on Live Leak. It is unclear from the video what started the dispute, but at the beginning we see the gang harassing the car and clogging the entire three lanes of West Side Highway, before the seemingly frightened driver runs over a few of the bikers in an escape attempt.
Over the six minutes of the video, recorded on the helmet cam of one of the bikers, the gang chases the SUV northbound on West Side Highway at high speeds. Twice the bikers take advantage of slower traffic to get off their bikes and directly attack the SUV's driver. One attempts to open the door before the SUV speeds away.

Runnin' Scared is awaiting comment from the 33rd Precinct, where the second beating occurred. We will update when we hear back.
No arrests have been made in connection with the video yet. It is unclear whether the SUV driver will also face charges.

5.0 stars 59 totalReview Michael Doukas
Posted by Marc
I hired Mr. Doukas to help me secure my financial claim against a debt settlement company that had simply stopped returning my calls. As it turns out, the debt settlement company was either an outright scam or being run by an owner with his own set of financial problems. While I don't hold out much hope that I'll ever see any of the tens of thousands of dollars we paid into the debt settlement company, I can tell you that I would not have been able to secure my claim against them without Mr. Doukas' help. Throughout the entire ordeal, Mr. Doukas was very responsive and an excellent communicator. If I didn't understand something in email, he picked up the phone and called me to explain. I can't recommend him highly enough if you are dealing with debt resolution issues of any kind.
Anonymous review posted on
Mr. Doukas took my case which was a debt owed to a large credit card company which I had tried to resolve myself unsuccessfully and the case went to court. Mr. Doukas took on this case and did an excellent job as a trial attorney and kept me updated at all times and worked very hard on my behalf and settled the case that was very acceptable to me. I would use Mr. Doukas as my trial attorney again as he always made me feel I was a very important client.
Posted by Mary
I hired Mr. Michael Doukas a few months ago when I found out I was being sued on a debt collection issue. From the first contact Mr. Doukas has been incredibly prompt and responsive. He has made this process easy by providing explanations, answering my questions and letting me know what to expect. During this time Mr. Doukas has negotiated a settlement agreement between me and the lender making this process not nearly as scary as it could have been! I highly recommend Mr. Doukas to anyone having financial difficulties.
Anonymous review posted on
Michael Doukas was able to settle my case out of court and get me a monthly payment plan that I can afford. I highly recommend him.
Posted by Christopher
I called upon Michael Doukas to help me when I was in a serious time crunch. I was pending PCS orders following a deployment to Iraq and was hit with a subpoena to court for delinquent credit cards that were not mine.
Michael was very responsive to my timeline and was able to get all of the cases dismissed. His prices were were very reasonable and were only outshined by his professionalism and effectiveness.
I would highly encourage anyone who needs legal assistance and wants "quality" representation to contact Michael Doukas right away!!
Posted by araceli
Before contacting Mr Dounkas i had contact at least 10 lawyers and none of the wanted to here my case or give me a reference till I find Mr Dounkas and I explain my case he was interests in my case and even thought my English is poor he was really patient and helpful he explain me thinks about the laws that I didn't knew .... I just want to say thank you Michael Doukas...
Anonymous review posted on
I would, and will recommend Michael Doukas to anyone who's being hounded by collection agencies for debt(s) that may or may not be real. Even without the flimsy circumstantial evidence plaintiffs provided, I was confident going into court that Mr. Doukas was the man for the job. Throughout our entire pre-trial time together, he always kept me abreast of where we were on the case, what plaintiffs counsel was up to, what comedic documentation they were attempting to introduce to the court.
Regardless of how confident I was on the day of trial, there was concern that our case was only as good as the venue in which it was being heard. Mr. Doukas displayed a calm confidence that made standing in the hall a bit more palpable. (I still wore out the rug.)
We ended up settling for far far less than plaintiff would have liked. Were it not for the glacierlike speed of the appellate court system, we probably would have held out for a ruling by the judge, but after four years of statements with an hysterical 29% interest racking up, I took counsel's advice and settled. I don't regret that decision now, and am sure I never will.
It's nice to see someone who swims with the bottomfeeders (collection agencies and the counsel they retain) emerge as optimistic, funny, and professional as Michael Doukas. When I say I hope I never have to hire him again, it's out of respect. Thank you so much Michael; I mean that sincerely.
Feel free to forward anyone who wants more information about working with you. I'm happy to oblige.
Posted by robert
Michael did a good job,was available for advice and consultation. He negotiated a settlement that I could live with. His advice and solution were correct as I did consult another lawyer just for a second opinion.
Posted by Miri
Yes I would reccomand Michael because he was very professional and handeld my case quickly and I was very setisfied with the end results... If I ever have a problem again,(I hope I don't) I defenatly know who to go to.... MICHAEL!!!
Posted by Michael
We had a very complicated credit issue with our bank that kept going on and on for years. Mike helped us fight "the system" successfully which saved our credit and will help us refinance our house. Mike is very practical, professional and reasonable in his rates. We now consider him a family friend.

In Florida, she was a Reporter and Multi-Media Journalist at WPTV NewsChannel 5 and WFLX FOX 29 in West Palm Beach, in which she reported for two newscasts nominated for Suncoast Emmy® Awards. Her coverage territory extended from the Space Coast to Fort Lauderdale, while giving her an appreciation for what makes Palm Beach County unique.
"I am fortunate to join such a respected organization as Discover The Palm Beaches, which supports local tourism -- one of the most significant economic drivers in Palm Beach County," said Ledford. "I am excited about this brand-new role, which will allow me to promote my passion for the destination and all it has to offer."
"We're happy to have someone with Angela's public relations and journalism experience as a member of our dynamic marketing team," said DTPB President & CEO Jorge Pesquera.

Waiting on Wednesday idea from Jill at Breaking the Spine.
The Testing
by Joelle Charbonneau
* Published by: Templar (UK), Houghton Mifflin (US)
* Format: Paperback (UK), Hardcover (US)
* Release Date: August 1st, 2013 (UK), June 4th, 2013 (US)
* On Amazon: here
Summary from Amazon.co.uk:
DO YOU POSSESS A WINNING COMBINATION OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE, PRACTICAL SKLLS AND RAW INTELLIGENCE? DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO LEAD OTHERS? ARE YOU WILLING TO CRUSH THOSE WHO STAND IN YOUR WAY? Every year, the United Commonwealth invites top graduates from each colony to participate in The Testing. Successful candidates will go on to the University and help the government work to rebuild our war-stricken world. This process is not optional. Disclaimer: The United Commonwealth is not responsible for candidates' psychological or physical heath during The Testing.
I really like the sound of this one and the cover is fantastic! The premise sounds great, what with a war-stricken world and a university for leaders. I know this has been out in the US for a month or so but I've avoided any reviews. For anyone who's read it - is it worth the wait? I hope so!

Has showed??
5 replies
About 70 percent of Japanese working women say they're suffering from a lack of sleep, with around 80 percent saying insufficient shuteye affects their looks, a survey by skincare company Nagase and Co. has showed.
When I was a student, I learned that "show" becomes "shown" after has/had. A Google search showed that quite a few English-language Web pages use this--not only by private individuals but by organizations who should be proofreading text that they publish.
It is usage that I don't know? Or, it is just incorrect?
Thank you in advance for any information on this.
Looking for ESL work?: Try our EFL / TOEFL / ESL Jobs Section!
The long and the short of this, Epigene, is that 'showed' is an acceptable past participle alternative to 'shown'. But don't just take my word for it.
Main Entry: show
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): showed /'shOd/; shown /'shOn/; or showed; show·ing
Compact Oxford English Dictionary
• verb (past part. shown or showed)
show: Inflected forms: showed, shown or showed, show·ing, shows
something is used by speakers. If many people start using new forms, then after a decade or so, expressions that didn't sound natural at first now do sound natural. Dictionaries will adopt it and then
it will be correct usage; and that's how a new grammar rule is born.
It's quite interesting though because this topic borders on the discussion about whether we should let grammar determine our language, or that we should let our language be subject to changes without any restrictions and let common speech completely determine our language. Too much of either can never be good I suppose. Language needs change, but it needs rules as well.
(just for the record, I think 'shown' sounds better) (but that may simply be because I learnt/ed it like that)
Have a question?
People are waiting to help.


text: Hello, today I started the edubuntu-terminal-server system with 8 clients. My 25 pupils are about 14 - 16 years old. If you want I will inform you what they think about edubuntu. Also I could send a photo. On the system I installed squid with dansguard/webalizer to control the internet access. Sabayon helped me to create different profiles. A new task: I miss something, it is a "public folder" where pupils can change documents, show their works .... What is the best way to create such a folder? What is about the rights (read, write, execute) in it? Should be created a new group like "class" where all pupil belong to? Don`t forget a public-folder in 6.04, please :-) Thanks Reiner Schmid
