Mine finally turned up.
Me&Smooches (28-01-2015)
All of the reviews have been made live and everyone else raved about the scent. Surely I'm not the only one that thought it smelt terrible and was quite strong?
it was strong, but I quite liked the scent.
My bathroom is quite big though, so plenty of air. Perhaps in a smaller bathroom it may be more overwhelming
I was keen to give this product a go, but I didn't get my name in to be a reviewer. Since then I realised that it actually contains microbeads which is something that I decided that I don't want to use because they are non biodegradeable (unless someone can confirm that these a different kind of microbead) and are a risk to waterways.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Politics' started by Salty, Nov 17, 2014.
Lets discuss the differences between Communism and Socialism.
Socialism thinks it can evolve from a capitalist society.
Communism must eliminate capitalism entirely, and start with a classless society.
Socialism distributes property according to a person's contributions. Communism distributes property according to a person's needs.
Socialist countries can have (somewhat legitimate) elections, and even a governing body of representatives. Communism is typically totalitarianism.
Socialism will tolerate religion (grudgingly). Communism will abolish religion.
People can own some things in socialism--cars, appliances, furniture, clothes. In communism the state owns everything and puts individuals in state-owned homes.
¿interesting? responses so far
They both suck.
What does the Communist Party stand for?
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit - socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
Until we win enough support to change the system, communists call for radical reforms under capitalism. We call for nationalization of the banks, railroads, and industries like steel and auto. Everyone who wants to work should be guaranteed a job or get unemployment payments until she/he can find a job. We say put the unemployed to work at union wages on massive public works programs to rebuild our cities, provide affordable housing for the homeless, build mass transit, and clean up the environment!
Our outlook is based on the social science of Marxism-Leninism. We study history, politics and economics in order to change the world.
Why does the Communist Party fight to expand democracy?
We believe that the broad participation of working people in every area of life is the gateway to a more just and humane future. Socialism offers the best environment for democracy to fully flourish because it sharply limits the power of corporations to dominate politics and the economy. Socialism's democratic potential can only be realized, however, if broad sections of the people are wholeheartedly engaged in every aspect of society's decision-making processes.
Under capitalism, the Communist Party USA fights to expand the limited democratic rights we now have. For example, we fight for the Employee Free Choice Act and the right of workers to join unions.
We are proud of our record against undemocratic laws that upheld racism, sexism, or other forms of discrimination. By standing up to the McCarthy witch hunts, Communists defended democracy. We call for abolition of torture, total reform of the prison system, and an end to the death penalty.
Communists see the struggle for democracy as empowering people, just as we see people empowering democracy.
What about the Communist Party and religion?
Communists are not against religion. We are against capitalism. In fact, the Party has its own Religion Commission which seeks to build positive relations with religious people and communities in the struggle to make life better for working people. Most religious people believe in justice, peace, and respectful relations among the peoples of the world, and many are motivated by their faith to work for those goals.
Membership in the Communist Party is open to all who agree with our program, regardless of religious beliefs.
The Communist Party is socialism. There is no difference between the two. The Communism of today is not the communism of the past.
You deserve an "A" for this definition! I applaud you, and thank you for your insight! :applause:
Yup. What we know as Communism is the likes of United Soviet SOCIALIST Republic
There's your answer, Salty. Close the thread.
(Sigh, I can type that word also) You have misrepresented my position by failing to include the post prior to that. I went to the source and provided communists own positions. You, not so much.
Food For Thought
I get together with a Chinese American businessman every so often. On Saturday I met with him and some Chinese men. My friend, who is well-traveled, told us "I think America has more socialists than China does."
"There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide."
The Ayn Rand Lexicon
Seems that this same definition could apply to the modern D & R parties as well!
OK, it's not as precise as the above, but the general drift certainly is.
Hopefully there's a trend for the Rs to get back on the conservative track ------- !
"...I am still a little astonished, at times, that too many adult Americans do not understand the nature of the fight against Communism as clearly as I understood it at the age of twelve: they continue to believe that only Communist methods are evil, while Communist ideals are noble. All the victories of Communism since the year 1917 are due to that particular belief among the men who are still free."
The Ayn Rand Lexicon
Actually there is little or no difference. Both are economic dictatorships. Socialism does not go as far as Communism in restricting political and personal liberty! The idea that Communism is the friend of the working class is bull, Just look at the history of Communist countries, they are run by dictators with the help of the bureaucracy. Reminds one of the skinny dictator in the White House and the IRS, the FBI, the ATF, the Justice Dept,. etc, etc.
Though similar in some ways they are not identical.
A democratic-socialist government is possible.
A democratic-communist government is impossible.
The end result is the same.
Poverty for 99% of Americans.
Nothing touches the 1%, which will include the ruling "elite".
There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide."
The Ayn Rand Lexicon
"Instead of prosperity, socialism has brought economic paralysis and/or collapse to every country that tried it. The degree of socialization has been the degree of disaster."
The Ayn Rand Lexicon

So Danny posted an article about how Wired was allowing direct links in their wiki – no big deal I thought – I figured it would get their attention and the hole would be closed. End of story.
Well apparently Wired was inundated with link drops over the weekend and people saw the post as a little irresponsible – even though Danny posted a quick apology. I worked with Danny here at Search Engine Watch for a bunch of years, as well as attended and spoke at SES conferences and consider him a friend – maybe not mates but definitely someone I like and admire.
I believe Danny when he says the post was a mistake and not done to cause Wired problems. I have posted things like that over the years…. sending an email and writing about things that need to be addressed. Readers look for bloggers to keep them informed.
But it was the strong reactions of a number of West Coast SEMs that made this story more than a footnote in things quickly fixed in our industry.
Everyone loses in this type of bickering situation. I know all the major people involved and respect their talents – but I had to laugh when I saw one of those "East Coast vs West Coast" rapper things last night after having read a bunch of this.
The discussion about no follow usage that is interspersed in the comments and posts is one worth reading.
Personally I am hoping it is just like the rapper wars more for the publicity than actual animosity. There has been a fair amount of comments and posts written about it over the past two days, but not that amount you would expect given the players. But I think it is who is involved that has most people correctly sitting this one out.
I am not taking sides. I just thought the dynamics of it all was worth taking a look at – hopefully so we can gain something from it and maybe avoid similar backlashes in the future.

Do Make Say Think's albums are full of glorious anthems to the inexplicable. With You, You're a History in Rust, the band continues its simultaneous explorations into the worlds of post-rock, jazz, electronica, and studio tomfoolery. There are dark corners and bright splashes; there are textural murmurs and bright melodies. And, after recording five albums over ten years, there are also vocal contributions. "A With Living"—sung by Tony Drekker of the Great Lake Swimmers—begins with five moody minutes and then morphs into a self-imploding sing-along. "A Tender History in Rust" has a light, folky feel with whistles and whispers, while "Herstory of Glory" samples playing children as it simmers and shimmers. Conversely, "Executioner Blues" doesn't need vocals; its narrative is well-explained by an assemblage of guitars, strings and jazzy drums that ebb and flow before building to a cacophonous crescendo. The lovely "You, You're Awesome" assumes a rubbery mid-tempo that might well-accompany a highlights sequence from the Robitussin Olympics. Finally, closer "In Mind" begins with an Akron/Family-assisted shuffle before taking the freak-folk banjo and vocal into the tape-hissing red, reminding us that beauty and noise may co-exist. It's an apt, experimental end to a delightfully abstract listen.

Going South: The triple technology facial
July 4th 2014
November 8th 2013
Imogen Edwards-Jones goes for a facial and gets the added bonus of a skin analysis - only to wish she hadn't
You'll have to forgive me if I am a little vague, or hazy, about my trip to Dr Michael Prager's Harley Street Clinic to sample his new fangled super-feted Illuminator Facial, which incidentally is supposed to leave your face so baby-bum smacked-arse perfect, that everyone thinks you've just stepped out of an ashram, where you've done nothing but bathe in virgin's milk and chomp on quinoa.
And let me also promise you that the whole vague haze thing has nothing to do with a terrible case of early onset, or indeed the aftermath of a sixteen-shot party with competitive pole dancing. No. This was shock. Pure and simple. A terrible, terrible sit down with a stiff gin shock.
You see, I arrived at the clinic quite jolly, I seem to remember, and ready to have my mild peel, electric pulses and hydrating mask. But just before I stepped in to the inner sanctum and lay down for an hour, the assistant (sadly not the knicker-droppingly handsome Dr Prager himself) suggested that I pop my face in to some contraption and have my skin analysed. Just like that. So I placed my chin on the little white stand, duly closed my eyes for the required three flashes and then thought nothing of it. Idiot.
I then proceed through the peel, the electric pulses and the fabulously hydrating mask, gel and moisturiser combo. All of which was painless, unctuous and effective, and resulted in the said smacked arse face that makes you look like you've had a pleasant jog around the block and showered in Evian.
On the way out the assistant (whose name I must have blocked) suggested that we take a quick look at my skin analysis results. Now I know I smoke more than a lab-testing beagle and I drink more wine than Gerard Depardieu about to board a plane, but I'm a member of the Glossy Posse. I have had more peels, plumps and needle pricks in my face than any tissue-eating supermodel. I've got good skin. It's not great but it's slathered in products and occasionally tox-ed still – what more is a lady supposed to do?
The results pinged on the screen. The assistant apologised as she went to answer the phone. I squinted slightly. Spots 3% - Not bad. I'm only three per cent acne. It's a good score. I move down: Wrinkles 83% - ah, well, that's not good. It's the smoking and the sun-bathing but my Texture is 4% and my UV Spots are 7% and my Brown Spots are 9% and my Red Areas are 8% so I am clearly one of those very lucky smug cows who can smoke, drink, lie in the sun and get away it. Except for a few wrinkles. But wrinkles shminkles. I can easy fill those. A few lines of collagen here and a vial of Botox there. Bingo! Clever, brilliant, fabulous me!
The assistant hangs up the phone.
"It's all ok, bar the wrinkles," I laugh confidently as she looks up.
"Really?" she replies.
"Well, 83 per cent!"
"83 per cent is good," she says coming over.
"It is?"
"That means that out of the hundred 46-year-old faces they analysed you are in the top 83 per cent."
"No," she continues, leaning in to read my data. "The higher... the…" She stops.
"…The better?" I finish.
"Yes," she coughs.
"So when it says Spots three per cent. Only two per cent of 46 year old women in the whole country have WORSE spots than I have?'
"Mmm, well…."
"Only three per cent have worse Texture?"
"And what's this last thing? Porphyrins?"
"So I'm five per cent bacteria! Or rather I'm 95 per cent bacteria! Only four per cent of women in the whole country have more bacteria on their face than me?"
"Do you wash your face?" she asks tentatively. "Or should I say what do you wash it in?"
"Whatever is to hand," I say.
"Ah," she nods.
Yes, ah indeed. Ah. Ah. Ha. So to all you chain-smoking Keith Richards types out there. DO go to Dr Prager's for the facial because it is super and does work and your skin does look lovely for weeks afterwards. But DON'T, for God's sake, absent mindedly pop your face in to that awful white machine on the left. Take it from me, there are some things one doesn't need illuminating!
P.S. the assistant's name was Cheri and she was very nice indeed!

This application relates generally to assessing a component of a gas turbine engine, and more particularly to estimating a thermal energy level of the component.
Gas turbine engines are known and typically include multiple sections, such as an inlet section, an inlet particle separation section, a fan section, a compression section, a combustor section, a turbine section, and an exhaust nozzle section. The fan section or the compression section moves air into the engine. The air is compressed as the air flows through the compression section. The compressed air is then mixed with fuel and combusted in the combustor section. Products of the combustion are expanded to rotatably drive the engine.
The gas turbine engine includes a plurality of components that operate in extremely high temperature environments. As known, absorbing excessive thermal energy from these environments can undesirably melt or otherwise damage the components. Accordingly, many gas turbine engines include cooling systems that are configured to limit the thermal energy absorbed by the components or to move thermal energy away from the components. Operating the engine wears and erodes the components, which can reduce the effectiveness of these cooling systems.
Additionally, some engines operate in sandy environments. Debris, like sand, moving through the engine can accelerate wear and erosion of the components. For example, one type of the cooling system moves air through film cooling holes established in the components. Air flows from the film cooling holes over the surfaces of the components to move thermal energy away from the component. Debris can block the flow of air from the cooling holes by lodging in the film cooling holes or glassifying over the film cooling holes. Blocking the cooling holes lessens the effectiveness of this type of cooling system and increases the thermal energy retained by these components resulting in increased metal temperatures which adversely effects the life of these components. The impact of the blocked flow of air from the film cooling holes on the component is often insidious. That is, detecting changes in the effectiveness of this type of cooling system prior to the part melting or otherwise becoming damaged is often difficult.
An example method of assessing a component of a gas turbine engine includes monitoring debris in at least a portion of an engine and establishing an estimated thermal energy level for a component of the engine based on this monitoring. The method may use gas path parameters, such as pressures, temperatures, and speeds to establish the estimated thermal energy level.
Another example method of assessing components of a gas turbine engine includes monitoring airflow moving through a portion of an engine to detect a presence of debris carried by the airflow, determining a characteristic of the debris, and initiating a notification relating to an estimated temperature of a component of the engine based at least in part on the characteristic.
An example gas turbine engine component assessment system includes a debris monitoring system configured to monitor debris moving through a portion of an engine and a controller programmed to execute an engine deterioration model that assesses a thermal energy level of at least one component of the engine based on information from the debris monitoring system.
These and other features of the example disclosure can be best understood from the following specification and drawings, the following of which is a brief description.
In a two-spool design, the high-pressure turbine 30 utilizes the extracted energy from the hot combustion gases to power the high-pressure compressor 22 through a high speed shaft 38, and the low-pressure turbine 34 utilizes the extracted energy from the hot combustion gases to power the low-pressure compressor 18 and the fan section 14 through a low speed shaft 42. The engine 10 includes a cooling supply system 39 that moves cooling airflow near the turbines 30 and 34 to facilitate thermal energy removal.
The examples described in this disclosure are not limited to the two-spool engine architecture described and may be used in other architectures, such as a single-spool axial design, a three-spool axial design, and a three-spool axial and centrifugal design, and still other architectures.
The examples described are also not limited to the turbofan gas turbine engine 10. For example,
The turbines 30 a and 34 a of the gas turbine engine 10 a extract energy from the hot combustion gases flowing from the combustor 26 a. The residual energy is expanded through the power turbine section 35 a to produce output power that drives an external load 37, such as helicopter rotor system. Air is exhausted from the engine 10 a at the exhaust nozzle section 36 a. There are various types of engines, in addition to the turbofan gas turbine engine 10 of
In this example, a component assessment system 46 mounts to an aircraft 48 propelled by the gas turbine engine 10, for example. The component assessment system 46 is in operative communication with an inlet debris monitoring system 50, a plurality of components 54 of the low-pressure compressor 18, a notification device 58, and vanes 62 of the variable vane sections of the low-pressure compressor 18 and the high-pressure compressor 22.
The inlet debris monitoring system 50 receives information from debris detectors 52 that are mounted to the inlet section 12 of the gas turbine engine 10. The debris detectors 52 are configured to measure a static charge 70 from debris 74 carried by the air A that is pulled into the gas turbine engine 10 by the compression section 22. In this example, the debris detectors 52 measure the static charge 70 of debris 74 within the fan section 14. Other examples include debris detectors 52 configured to measure the static charge 70 of debris 74 in other areas, such as forward the fan section 14 or in the low-pressure compressor 22.
The example debris monitoring system 50 provides the component assessment system 46 with at least one characteristic of the debris 74. For example, the debris monitoring system 50 can quantify the amount of debris 74 entering the gas turbine engine 10 based on a level of the static charge 70. Other determinable characteristics include the type of the debris 74 carried by the air A. Sand is one example type of the debris 74. A person skilled in the art and having the benefit of this disclosure would be able to quantify the debris 74 or determine other characteristics of the debris 74 using the debris monitoring system 50.
In this example, the plurality of components 54 of the low-pressure compressor 18 are the blades of the low-pressure compressor 18. The example component assessment system 46 uses the characteristics of the debris 74 and other information to establish an estimated thermal energy level for one or more of the plurality of components. An appropriate timeframe for performing a maintenance action (e.g., component inspection, component repair, component replacement, etc.) on the plurality of components 54 is then established. The component assessment system 46 notifies a technician, for example, that the components 54 should be inspected by providing a notification through the notification device 58.
The vanes 62 are adjustable relative to flow of air through the gas turbine engine 10. Pneumatic or hydraulic actuators typically actuate the vanes 62 based on a schedule. Operating the gas turbine engine 10 with the vanes 62 in some positions lowers the impact of the debris 74 on the gas turbine engine 10, which can advantageously increase the time period before repair, replacement, or inspection is necessary. For example, repositioning the vanes 62 more open relative to the nominal baseline vane schedule may make the debris 74 less likely to block flow from cooling holes of the components 54. Changing the positions of other types of variable position components can also lower the impact of the debris 74 on the gas turbine engine 10.
The example component assessment system 46 adjusts the vanes 62 in response to the characteristics of the debris 74. In this example, the component assessment system 46 adjusts the vanes 62 when the debris detectors 52 detect that the compression section 18 is pulling large amounts of the debris 74 into the gas turbine engine 10. A sandy desert is one example of an environment likely to result in a large amount of the debris 74 entering the gas turbine engine 10. In other examples, the component assessment system 46 adjusts other variable position components of the gas turbine engine 10 to positions for example more open relative to baseline schedule that lower the impact of the debris 74 on the gas turbine engine 10.
Referring now to
The component assessment system 46, a type of computing device, is configured to initiate a notification through the notification device 58 in response to the estimated thermal energy levels. In this example, the notification device 58 is located remote from the aircraft 48. In another example, the notification device 58 is mounted to the aircraft 48. The notification indicates that the components 54 have likely experienced significant thermal energy levels.
It should be noted that many computing devices can be used to implement various functionality, such as incorporating the characteristics of the debris 74 detected by the debris detectors 52 into the engine deterioration model 90 of the component assessment system 46. In terms of hardware architecture, such a computing device can include a processor, the memory portion 86, and one or more input and/or output (I/O) device interface(s) that are communicatively coupled via a local interface. The local interface can include, for example but not limited to, one or more buses and/or other wired or wireless connections. The local interface may have additional elements, which are omitted for simplicity, such as controllers, buffers (caches), drivers, repeaters, and receivers to enable communications. Further, the local interface may include address, control, and/or data connections to enable appropriate communications among the aforementioned components.
The processor or controller 82 may be a hardware device for executing software, particularly software stored in the memory portion 86. The processor can be a custom made or commercially available processor, a central processing unit (CPU), an auxiliary processor among several processors associated with the computing device, a semiconductor based microprocessor (in the form of a microchip or chip set) or generally any device for executing software instructions.
The memory portion 86 can include any one or combination of volatile memory elements (e.g., random access memory (RAM, such as DRAM, SRAM, SDRAM, VRAM, etc.)) and/or nonvolatile memory elements (e.g., ROM, hard drive, tape, CD-ROM, etc.). Moreover, the memory may incorporate electronic, magnetic, optical, and/or other types of storage media. Note that the memory can also have a distributed architecture, where various components are situated remotely from one another, but can be accessed by the processor.
The software in the memory portion 86 may include the assessment program 88 and one or more additional separate programs, each of which includes an ordered listing of executable instructions for implementing logical functions. A system component embodied as software may also be construed as a source program, executable program (object code), script, or any other entity comprising a set of instructions to be performed. When constructed as a source program, the program is translated via a compiler, assembler, interpreter, or the like, which may or may not be included within the memory.
The Input/Output devices that may be coupled to system I/O Interface(s) may include input devices, for example but not limited to, a keyboard, mouse, scanner, microphone, camera, proximity device, etc. Further, the Input/Output devices may also include output devices, for example but not limited to, a printer, display, etc. Finally, the Input/Output devices may further include devices that communicate both as inputs and outputs, for instance but not limited to, a modulator/demodulator (modem; for accessing another device, system, or network), a radio frequency (RF) or other transceiver, a telephonic interface, a bridge, a router, etc.
When the computing device is in operation, the processor can be configured to execute software stored within the memory portion 86, to communicate data to and from the memory portion 86, and to generally control operations of the computing device pursuant to the software. Software in memory, in whole or in part, is read by the processor, perhaps buffered within the processor, and then executed.
An example flow of the assessment program 88 includes a step 100 of retrieving the debris data from the inlet debris monitoring system 50, which is then provided to a high level algorithm 110. In one example, a low level algorithm (not shown) calculates the rate and type of the debris 74 entering the engine 10 and provides this debris data to the high level algorithm 110.
If the rate of the debris 74 does not exceed a value X in the step 108, the assessment program 88 progresses to the low rate of debris ingestion leg 104 of the high level algorithm 110, which estimates thermal energy based on a low rate of debris ingestion. If the rate of the debris 74 exceeds the value X in the step 108, the assessment program 88 progresses to a high rate of debris ingestion leg 106 of the high level algorithm 110, which estimates thermal energy based on a high rate of debris ingestion. In one example, the step 108 moves to the high rate of ingestion leg 106 after determining that the engine 10 is ingesting more than one pound of sand per hour, and that the sand has a particular composition. The value X in such an example is thus one pound of sand that has the particular composition. The high level algorithm 128 moves to the low rate leg 120 when sand ingestion is below the value X to estimate thermal energy for example.
The high level algorithm 110 includes a step 112 of incorporating the debris data into the engine deterioration model 90. The high level algorithm 110 utilizes the data from the step 108 to establish many types of information about the components 54 of the engine 10. The engine deterioration model 90 uses the debris data provided by the inlet debris monitoring system 50 with the measured gas path parameters to calculate the information about the components 54 based on historical degradation speeds and temperatures, for example.
In one example, the engine deterioration model 90 initiates a notification on the notification device 58 after estimating that the components 54, which are superalloy turbine vanes, have reached a temperature of more than 1900� F. In this example, the notification device 58 is apart from the aircraft 48. In another example, the notification device 58 is inside the aircraft 48.
For example, a step 114 estimates if the debris 74 would cause enough damage to the components 54 to increase thermal energy levels within the components. If so, the step 114 initiates a notification at a step 126 a on the notification device 58.
A step 118 estimates a level of damage to the components 54 caused by increased thermal energy levels. The estimate is based on the amount and type of the debris 74. The step 118 then initiates a notification at a step 126 b that displays the estimated level of damage to the components 54.
A step 122 estimates the actual thermal energy in one or more of the components 54. The estimated thermal energy level is based on the debris 74 that have entered the engine 10. The estimated thermal energy level is related to an estimated temperature of a metal portion of the components 54, for example. The step 122 initiates a notification at a step 126 c if the estimated thermal energy level corresponds to a set thermal energy value, which is a level of thermal energy that would damage the components 54 if increased. Initiating the notification at the step 126 c when the estimated thermal energy level corresponds to the set thermal energy value notifies a technician to perform maintenance on the components 54 before the components 54 are damaged by thermal energy, for example.
In this example, each notification initiated at the steps 126 a, 126 b, 126 c is different. For example, the notification initiated at the step 126 a is a flashing light type notification whereas the notification initiated at the step 126 b is a visual display of the total amount of the debris 74.
In another example, the high level algorithm 110 includes steps initiating notifications based on the size of the debris 74 moving through the engine 10. For example, a notification associated with fine debris may trigger an assessment of thermal energy levels of the components 54, whereas a notification associated with course debris triggers another type of assessment.
The example high level algorithm 110 and particularly the engine deterioration model at the step 112 utilizes additional data to determine whether to initiate the notifications at the steps 126 a, 126 b, 126 c. For example, a step 130 provides the high level algorithm 110 with engine specific data, such as engine speeds, engine pressures, etc. A step 134 provides the high level algorithm 110 aircraft specific data, such as flight speeds, flight altitudes, etc. In some examples, the high level algorithm 110 initiates notifications using the amount of component life used, the available power levels, etc.
A technician observing the notifications initiated at the steps 126 a, 126 b, 126 c, often performs maintenance on the component 54 of the engine 10 in response. In one example, the technician observes the notification initiated at the step 126 c and then removes the components 54 from the engine 10. The technician then boroscopes sections of the components 54 to determine their structural integrity. Other maintenance actions include washing the components 54.
At a step 138, the high level algorithm 110 calculates and initiates adjustments to variable position components of the engine. The high level algorithm 110 initiates changes in the positions of variable position components within the engine 10 to lower the impact of the debris on the components, for example.
Features of the disclosed embodiments include estimating thermal energy within gas turbine engine components and adjusting the estimates based on the debris entering the engine.
Although a preferred embodiment has been disclosed, a worker of ordinary skill in this art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of this invention. For that reason, the following claims should be studied to determine the true scope and content of this invention.

Thanks for helping!
This restaurant is serving authentic Spanish tapas and has a great choice of wine. There is no better place to break away from the Thai food, unless you choose for the usual pizza "break". This is "the" tapas restaurant outside of Spain.
For me, this is the number one dining spot in Hua Hin.
Authentic Tapas dishes from Spain, but also wonderful Mezza choices from Greece.
Plus a fine selection of full meals, the choices seem endless.
Here's a tip, order before 7pm and benefit from Happy Hour savings off of already keen prices.
Nice wines as well, and again, very keenly...
A delightfully casual Tapas Bar and Restaurant set in a delightful old house on Hua Hin's seafront. Easy to find just head down hill from the monolithic Hilton hotel, and it's no more than ten minutes walk on the left hand side of the street. Look for the illuminated sign at first floor level.
The interior is welcoming as you...
Oh my Buddha. What a restaurant a great selection of authentic Spanish tapas. A lovely looking restaurant with soft music playing in the background. Friendly staff. The star is the food. Close your eyes and you could be in Barcelona the food is that good. I would return to Hua Hin just to eat here.
We were a bit early, so it was not so busy yet. The staff was nice and the portions of the tapa's royal! Recommended: tasty and affordable.
We had the most amazing Christmas lunch. Better than any other apart from Christmas at home perhaps. Delicious typical roast turkey meal with generous portions. The atmosphere was typical of the festive occasion and despite it being a full house the staff were on top of every request. It was just like being in a private party. The Brits like...
Really nice little bar to chill out it. The breeze is actually pretty good too! Went mainly for some afternoon drinks and some of their tapas which was cheap and very tasty.
Very nice lad in charge of the place I recall!
If you fancy dodging some Thai food then try here. I would not say 100% Spanish but a good /excellent standard of food. Go for lunch if you want a deal (half price wine and sangria) but prices are set fair across the whole menu.
We came upon Cool Breeze whilst walking around Hua Hin. We stopped to look at the menu for lunch - Spanish Tapas sounded very enticing - however, the synic in me thought maybe not in Hua Hin. I ordered a tapa of Serrano ham and Gazpacho, both of which were very good. My wife ordered a Greek Salad which was...
Nice little restaurant. A little quiet but that was probably down to the weather and it being a Tuesday night.
Great menu - lots of dishes to choose from. Very tasty and well received.
Service was good and the staff helpful. Prices were very reasonable too.
Would definitely recommend and shall be returning soon.

Like he's putting in a contact.
Let me just look at your pussy.
- Need to give a littlebounce to it too,
depending on the song in the background.
- And then rub each lip, each lip.
- And usually gotta put the condom with the other hand,
with the right.
Like ripping off the Magnum.

We get it, we get it.
You got a big dick.

That's my message to you.

- Go get 'em slugger.
What piece of advicewould you give
to people stayingin a hotel room?
-Don't.-Just don't go to hotels?
I would sleepin my car.
I needto hear the details.
What's, like, the grossest thingyou've ever found?
Probably isthe double-sided dildo.
The one?
You won't forget it.
Guy says, "Come on in."
And when I come in,he's handcuffed
and duct-tapedto a stripper pole.
So what did he say?
He was like, "What I want youto do is pick up that flogger
over there and hit mea couple of times."
-Did you do it?!-Yep.
For an extra $200,
I could end my afternoonand go to McDonald's.
Yep.What did you getat McDonald's for $200?
That's not important.
-That's a nice day.-Right?
So, that's been the worst --handprint shit stains?
There was massiveanal leakage.
So you've seen different levelsof it, and this was the most?
It looked like a crime scenebut only with shit.
Oh no. Like someone had killedsomeone made of shit.
Based on your expertise,
can you tell mewhere most people jizz?
All over the pillows.
It's all over the sheets,the pillows.
You could takethe pillow sheets off.
It's on the pillow.
-Pillows.-I'm hearing this.
On all surfaces,
especially phoneand the remote control.
Don't touch the lights.
The switch for the lamp.
The toilet.
Don't step on the bathroomfloor with no shoes.
Shower handles.
Don't touch the doorknob.
And the doorknobto the bathroom.
And the door.
Don't touch anythingnear the door.
So, how do I get in?
Check your sheets.
I don't even knowwhy I'm sitting on it.
Yeah, let's getthis out of here.
You want to peel downthe top layer
and then eventhe second layer.
Those thingsdo not get washed,
and that's wheremost of the jizz is.
Now, how gross is thisthat we're sitting on now?
It's pretty gross.
Why are they doing iton the side of the bed?
Because they pull outand -- sskkt!
It could be lurkingalmost anywhere.
And God only knowswhat's on the carpet.
I really feel like we shouldlet the people know
and we should dosomething about this.
Announcer: The following messagehas been paid for
by the Janitorial Instituteof Safety Mandates.
Hotel rooms were built for sexand self-gratification.
Big beds, Wi-Fi,the "do not disturb" sign,
unlimited towels, and,best of all, no clean-up --
for you.
But for these ladies,it's another story.
When you check out,you're leaving more
than your Galaxy Note 5charger behind.
You're leaving a crusty trailof evidence that you're gross.
Your room is not your sock.
This is your sock.
So if you shot it on the floor,leave a $20 by the door.
If you make a messwhen you mount her,
leave some cash on the counter.
And if you're gonna makea puddle,
leave a tip before you boardthe airport shuttle.
This -- that one's not great.
Look, no one's telling younot to pull out
and spray it aroundlike a sprinkler if that's how
you want to celebrateyour sister's wedding.
And ladies- no one's sayingdon't jam some sheets all up
in there after you've had sex.So you don't have to go to bed
with a soggy vag.
It would be nice if you used atissue.
Yeah- but it's like- they're inthe bathroom and it's far,
and I'm tired.
(whispering)It's fine, just use the sheet.
So the next time you're aboutto jizz all over a hotel room,
think about these women.
Uh, like, that...
Together:Stop jizzing on everything.
- I'm Nikki Glaser andthis is Even Not Safer.
Tonight I'm here with "At Midnight" host
Chris Hardwick and "At Midnight" regular,
Jen Kirkman.
You know, you can findanything on Craigslist;
a used futon, a used roommate, or a casual
encounter with a totallyshaved Eastern European.
There's something for everyone, so this is
"Gross Encounters of the Craigslist Kind."
Here's how it's going to work.
I'm gonna show you guys three nasty
casual encounters that I personally
posted on Craigslist myself, and then
I want you to guess which one of those
posts got a response from someone.
Onl one of them did, alright.
So the first one, the subject was
"Only ball play - nothing else."
I am very attractive single woman
in her 50's looking for a man who is
willing to letting me play with only his balls.
Nothing else! No kissing! No dick!
No butt! No dinner! Camera okay!
I can come to you between three and five PM.
Thanks and have a great day.
That's number one.
Okay, here's the next one.
Please be my sex robot!
Looking for a man to come over
and be my sex robot.
Must wear silver gray, preferably shiny clothing.
I will program you for cleaning, fucking, etcetera.
I will name you either your name plus 3000
and or Robo plus your name and
you will call me Master.
Must be able to do realistic sounding
robot voice and also deep throat.
Reasonable request.
Okay, and here's the last one.
Reliable chub seeks thick foreskin.
No nonsense chub looking for
fit stranger with thick foreskin.
If it don't stretch like taffy,
move along, little doggie.
I'll leave the door unlocked and will
be already nude listening to NPR.
I am clean. You be, too.
If we hit it off, you can take
some of my bison chili for the road.
No condoms!
That's a nice offer.
So, those are the three, you guys.
- [Jen] Okay...
- For Craigslist, I feel like these
aren't even that far out of bounds.
- [Nikki] No, they're not!
- I'm gonna guess only ball play
because I think there'ssomething about...
I like the three tofive if you're married,
"Honey, I'm just gonna pick up the kids."
And then you go do that real quick first.
- Yeah!
- I think the guy wants only ball play.
- [Chris] I think sex robot, because I know
there's a dude out there who immediately
saw that and was like, "I will send you my digits."
I feel like it's gotta be sex robot,
but they're all really believable.
- They're all enticing.
- Yeah, we got taken off Craigslist
so much before we aced these.
Like we got flagged.
- What do you have to do to get
taken off of Craigslist?
- Oh, just poop stuff, mostly. So...
- I regret to inform you
that both of you are wrong,
the real thing that got a response was
"Reliable Chub Seeks Thick Foreskin."
- Oh my god, the word reliable is so like,
"Well, this old chub sure is reliable."
- And it's what you say in a lie
about a car before it's about to
break down when you're selling it.
- The response that he wrote back was,
I would love Chris if you would read it for us.
- Sure, I'd love to.
Subject line, "Hey Stetcher."
I am six-two, 205 pounds, mine does stretch,
I don't know how much.
I put two fingers on the head
and then rolled it over them.
May I come over?
I'm very clean and will shave first.
- [Nikki] I love that his name is Douglas.
- Oh, Douglas!
Give it up one more time for my friends,
Jen Kirkman and Christ Hardwick.
See you next time on Not Safer.
I'm always shocked at how muchguys will put up with
just for sex -- froyo,candle shopping, listening.
I wanted to see just how farI could push them.
It's time for Tinder Tapout.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Chris, what's your takeon Tinder? You into it?
I believe Tinder isan HPV pyramid scheme.
[ Laughter ]
So, I have not --[ Laughs ]
Never --never done it.

You guys thinkhe's still in after this?
Yeah, yeah, definitely.Nothing crazy's happened yet.

Yeah, he's trying to gethis D.W. -- dick wet.
Okay, let's go on.
That's cool.Reading comes in handy.

[ Laughter ]

Party TillSeverely Dumber.
Money-tongue emoji,"keep it 100" emoji.
All right.What about now?
-Well, now ---Has she pushed it?
Now, first of all,now I retract my voice
that I've been doing for thispoor Marine the entire time.
Thank you for your service.[ Laughter ]
I thought maybe he'd getoffended at the PTSD joke,
but I feel like a guywho wants to get laid,
he's like, "That's fine.I'm not offended."
-His dick would see past that.-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Aww, that's sweet, you guys.You're right.
He's still in.-Okay.
[ British accent ]What's your favorite color?

[ Audience groans ]
Oh, no, Kayla,what have you done?
Okay, what about now?I mean, this has gotten...
[ Normal voice ] You know,if his boner is rigid enough,
all he sees is, "Well,I like Amy Winehouse, too."
-Exactly.-I still don't think he's out.
Yeah, and you havea baby daddy,
so you're not gonna geton him for kids right away.
He's fine.He's still in it.
You guys are right.He's still in.
[ Laughter ]
[ British accent ] Okay,what's your favorite pizza?
Ravioli or "lazanya."
Okay, this is whereit gets weird.
So, she just thinks, like,all Italian food is pizza.That's her.
[ Normal voice ] And also, to befair, she's already divulged
that she did not learn to readtill she was 18.
So it's finethat she spelled
lasagna likea Portuguese woman's name.
That's fine.-[ Laughs ]
It's creative.She's great.
[ British accent ]Those are mine, too!
[ Laughter ]
[ Normal voice ]I'm really trying.Soul mates.
Do you believe in loveat first "site"?
Okay.She dropped the "L" bomb.
That's scarier to a manthan not knowing what pizza is.
I really think.-Yeah.
I feel like he...
I feel like he might check outat that point.
[ Normal voice ] Like, I stillfeel like he might be in.
He's out.He tapped out, you guys.
We lost him.
-I told you.-And...yeah.
We obviously -- we obviouslyhad to know why
