This is a Division of Ser. No. 08/636,412, filed Apr. 23, 1996, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,729,956.
This invention relates, in general, to a method of producing ammonia water, and, in particular, to a method of producing ammonia water (aqua ammonia) by means of desorbing an ammonia laden sorbent, preferably a zeolite molecular sieve or silica gel into water and, in addition, to a method of using the resultant ammonia to dissolve flushable ostomy pouches when placed into the ammoniated water spot of a toilet.
In the prior art various methods of producing ammonia water have been proposed. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,531,246 discloses a method in which a solid sorbent material is impregnated with a selective dissociable complexing agent, and the preferred solid sorbents are molecular sieves, and the preferred complexing agents are metal halides, such as zinc chloride and magnesium bromide, for improved synthesis, and olefin complexing salts such as copper chloride are employed for improved olefin separations.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,758,250 discloses a process for separating ammonia from mixtures of other gases or from aqueous streams. The ammonia containing mixture is contracted with an anion exchange polymer cast into membrane form, which selectively permeates NH3 thereby providing a separation from the other components in the mixture. This reference also discloses an ammonia recovery may be achieved by employing an anion exchange polymer as a selective, reversible NH3 sorbent.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,013,335 discloses a process and a product which are useful in removing ammonia from an environment to alleviate health hazards or unpleasant odor which involves sequestering aqueous ammonia in large amounts on zeolite molecular sleeves having high proportions of silica with respect to alumina in their crystal frameworks.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,160,512 discloses a method for removal of a gas constituent from a gas stream employing a composite sorbent material.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,234,884 discloses a precipitate composition comprising a water-insoluble phosphate of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr and Sn, and a hydroxide of Fe, Co, Ni, Zn and Cu. The precipitate composition is disclosed as being used as an adsorbent composition for acidic malodorous gases such as hydrogen sulfide and alkaline malodorous gases such as ammonia.
While the prior art recognizes the basic process of acquiring ammonia, none of the prior art processes utilize a simple, easy to use process. Also, none of the prior art devices utilize the recovered ammonia for other useful purposes.
The present invention produces ammonia water (aqua ammonia) by means of desorbing an ammonia laden sorbent, preferably a zeolite molecular sieve or silica gel into water. The method includes placing an activated sorbent material into a sealed vessel, such as a pressure pot and exposing it to ammonia gas for a period of time. After loading by exposure to ammonia gas, the loaded sorbent is then placed into an air and water tight container for storage. The pouch can be stored for any length of time prior to use of the contents. When ready for use, the contents of the pouch are dropped into a container of water. In one preferred use of the loaded sorbents, the container of water is a toilet bowl. In another preferred embodiment, the container is a separate disposal pouch, such as a small plastic bag capable of holding an ostomy pouch, sanitary napkin or incontinence pad. After use, the ostomy pouch or other device can be made to dissolve by placing the used pouch in ammonia water at a pH of 10.3 or higher. In the alternative, at least some of the loaded sieve material can be placed directly into the used ostomy pouch. Water can be added to the inside of the pouch, and the pouch can then be sealed off. The pouch will then dissolve very rapidly from the inside out.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method of producing ammonia water.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method of dissolving an ostomy pouch, sanitary napkin or incontinence pad.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be fully apparent from the following description, when taken in connection with the annexed drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an apparatus used in the manufacture of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a graph showing pH vs. Time for different materials.
FIG. 3 is a graph showing pH vs. Time for different adsorptive materials.
FIG. 4 is a graph showing pH vs. Time for different types of silica gel.
FIG. 5 is a graph showing pH vs. Time for adsorptive pellets of two different weights.
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the packet used with the present invention.
Referring now to the drawings in greater detail, FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustrating the apparatus 1 which is used to produce the sorbent material 7 which are exposed to ammonia gas. The sorbent material 7, which is preferably a zeolite molecular sieve or a silica gel material (although other materials can also be used) is placed into a container such as a pressure pot 2. The pot is sealed by means of a lid 3, a gasket 4, and latches 5. The specific type of container, gasket and latches used are not material as long as they serve the intended function, i.e. to provide a sealed container which will hold the ammonia gas sealed inside. Placed in the side of the container is a tube or pipe 6 through which the ammonia gas will be introduced into the container 2.
After the container 2 is filled with the sorbent material 7 and the ammonia gas, the inlet pipe 6 is sealed, by any conventional means such as, but not limited to, a valve, and the sorbent material 7 will be exposed to the ammonia gas for a period of time, anywhere from about a minute to 24 hours or more. The most preferred charging conditions are 2.5 hours at 5 PSIG for a zeolite 13X material. A method for manufacturing the zeolite 13X material is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,882,244, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
After about 2.5 hours, under these conditions, very little additional ammonia is adsorbed onto the sorbent material. The exact adsorption conditions are not critical, since the sorbents will selectively adsorb the ammonia gas even when other gasses are present. It is important, however, to minimize the presence of water in the gas or mixture of gasses during the adsorption process, since water will adsorb preferentially to ammonia in most cases. During this charging period, the ammonia gas adsorbs onto the sorbent material 7, effectively immobilizing the ammonia gas onto the surface of the molecular sieve.
Ammonia gas is very dangerous from a health perspective, it is an extreme irritant to the respiratory system, and inhalation of high concentrations of the ammonia gas can be fatal. By adsorbing the gas onto the molecular sieve or other sorbent material 7, the ammonia gas is sequestered and, therefore, is much safer to handle. The preferred sorbent materials are molecular sieves of UOP types 4A, 5A, and 13X, sold by UOP and by Zeochem. A method for manufacturing the type A molecular sieve is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,882,243, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Also, a type Y zeolite which can be manufactured by the method discloses in U.S. Pat. No. 3,130,007, which is hereby incorporated by reference, can also be used.
Silica gel materials can also be used as sorbents, one specific material is called Envisorb A, also called AF25 (made by Englehard). Other sorbent materials that can strongly adsorb ammonia, and which release it in the presence of water, including some naturally occurring molecular sieve minerals can also potentially be used, but are not the most preferred materials due to lower adsorption capacities.
In order to develop a safe, controllable method of creating Ammonia water the study of several different materials onto which gaseous Ammonia can be adsorbed has been undertaken.

Determination of Loading Capacities for Each Different Type of Material
These values were obtained in the following manor. A sample of each material was weighed out and placed into an NH3 environment for a period of 2 hours. At the end of this 2 hour period each sample was removed from the NH3 environment and weighed. The difference between initial weight and final weight was found and then divided by the initial weight. That value was then multiplied by 100 to obtain the % loading value for each material. Below is a summary of the results.
TABLE 1______________________________________Percent Loading of Different Types of MaterialsMaterial Type % Loading of NH3______________________________________13x (8 � 12" Beads) 14.3Envisorb A 12.24A (8 � 12" Beads) 11.85A (8 � 12" Beads) 10.013x (1/16" Pellets) 16.5Silica Gel (28-200 Mesh) 10.2Silica Gel (14-20 Mesh) 11.9Envisorb A 12.4______________________________________
In order to determine the ideal loading time, a sample of 13x (1/16" pellets) was placed in an NH3 environment under 5 psi, with the weight of the sample being recorded every 30 minutes until the weight no longer changed. Once the weight remained steady then the amount of time required to fully charge a sample of material would be known. It was found that it takes approximately 2.5 hours to fully load a sample with NH3.
It is possible to load the ammonia gas onto the sorbent in additional ways, other than the pressure vessel method. One alternative method is to use a packed bed, which is a cylinder packed with the sorbent. The ammonia gas would flow through one side of the packed bed, and the portion of the ammonia not adsorbed, if any, would exit the other side of the bed. Another method that could be used is to use a fluidized bed reactor.

3. Early Results for Determination of pH vs. Time for Various Types of Materials
One very important fact to note is that these values of pH were obtained with a pH-meter electrode which was later determined to be improperly calibrated for future experimentation. Because of this, these values should be viewed relative to each other and not viewed as absolute values for the given conditions.
These values were obtained using a 3 liter pitcher approximately 1' in height, with the pH electrode placed 0.5" below the surface of the water. The sorbent material in question was first poured into the pitcher, then approximately 3 minutes were allowed to pass, at which time the pH was recorded.
TABLE 3______________________________________pH values for various materials WeightMaterial Type Added (g) Vol. Water (L) pH value______________________________________Zeolite 4A (8 � 12" Beads) 4.0 3.0 9.6Zeolite 5A (1/16" Pellets) 5.0 3.0 9.8Zeolite 13X (8 � 12" Beads) 4.0 3.0 9.81Zeolite 13X (1/16" Pellets) 6.0 3.0 9.85Silica Gel (14-20 Mesh) 6.0 3.0 9.42Envisorb A 6.0 3.0 8.9______________________________________
The above tests were repeated with a properly calibrated pH electrode, and upon completion of these tests, it was determined that both the 4A molecular sieve and Envisorb A should not be considered any further, due to the relatively low pH Ammonia water they created, with respect to the other types of molecular sieve under study.
While the pH value of the Ammonia water created by Silica Gel (14-20 Mesh) was one of the lowest values obtained, it was held over for further study due to the fact that it was believed to be much less expensive than the other materials. It was later determined that the savings on Silica Gel did not justify the extra amount of material required to achieve a high pH value.
4. pH Values vs. Time
The next stage of development was to determine the pH vs. time for samples of each material. It was determined that a pH value of at least 10.3 was needed to begin dissolution of the film. Preferable values of pH were found to be between 10.5 and 11.0.
Because of this, if a material sample could not achieve the above stated pH values it was considered to be less effective and dropped from immediate consideration. Some of the less desirable material are probably still usable, but are not the most preferred materials. For instance, with better mixing and/or larger quantities of sorbent, some of these sorbents may still be adequate for use.
The following procedure was employed for pH vs. time tests.
1. A clear glass pot, having approximately an 8.5" diameter and a height of 4" was used to simulate a 2.5 L toilet bowl.
2. A 10 g amount of the loaded sorbent sample was then poured into the pot.
3. Once the sample was poured into the pot, pH values were recorded every 30 seconds until 4 minutes had elapsed. The pH values were taken at the center of the pot, approximately 0.5" below the surface of the water.
These tests were performed several times with the various materials. Performing these tests yielded the following values for pH vs. Time:

5. Conclusion
From the work completed, it appears that 13 x 1/16" pellets yield the best results, as seen in the above data. Therefore work on dissolving the pouches will focus around the use of 13 X 1/16" pellets.
Our experiments show that Zeolite Type 13X adsorbs about 16% of its weight in ammonia gas, Zeolite Type 4A adsorbs about 12% of its weight in ammonia gas, and Zeolite Type 5A adsorbed about 10%, and the Envisorb silica gel adsorbs 12% of its weight in ammonia gas. The molecular sieve or silica gel adsorbents, with adsorbed gas are referred to as loaded sorbents.
After loading by exposure to ammonia gas, the loaded sorbent 7 is then placed into an air and water tight container for storage. This is very important, since any moisture from the air will be adsorbed, causing the ammonia to desorb, which in turn causes the premature release of gaseous ammonia. A preferred storage container is a sealed packet or pouch 8 with an aluminum foil barrier material 9 as at least one layer (as shown in FIG. 6), although other barrier packages could also be used. The ammonia gas may slowly desorb within the pouch until an equilibrium is reached with the small amount of ammonia gas in the pouch, at which point no more ammonia will desorb from the sorbent.
The packet or pouch 8 can be stored for extended lengths of time prior to use of the contents due to the sealed nature of the packet or pouch. When ready for use, the contents of the pouch, the loaded sorbent material 7, is dropped into a container of water. In one preferred use of the loaded sorbents, the container of water is a toilet bowl. In another preferred embodiment, the container is a separate disposal pouch, such as a small plastic bag capable of holding an ostomy pouch, sanitary napkin, incontinence pad, etc. Water and at least one of the loaded sorbents would be placed into the disposal pouch and the pouch would be sealed. The aqua ammonia produced by contact of the loaded sorbents with water would dissolve the ostomy pouch, sanitary napkin, incontinence pad, etc.
The container or disposal pouch could also be virtually anything that holds water if the objective is simply to produce aqua ammonia. The above-mentioned sorbents have a much stronger affinity for water than for ammonia. As a result, the ammonia gas is desorbed as the water is adsorbed. The released ammonia then forms very small bubbles in the water and most of these bubbles are immediately dissolved into the water, forming ammonia water of a desired pH. This solution is sometimes referred to as aqua ammonia or ammonium hydroxide solution.
The solubility of ammonia gas in water is exceptionally high, perhaps the most water soluble of any gas known. In most cases, the release rate is slow enough and the solubility is high enough that the ammonia gas bubbles are not visible during the desorption process, so none of the ammonia is wasted by bubbling to the surface. The ammonia essentially instantaneously dissolves in the water. In the case of the Zeolite Type 13X molecular sieve material, small bubbles can be observed, and some of them bubble up through the water and escape into the atmosphere. If necessary, the release rate from the 13X (and other) sorbents can be slowed down by putting various additives into them, such as magnesium stearate. A slower release rate would further enhance the safe handling aspects of the loaded sorbent. In most cases, this will not be necessary. The Envisorb material also releases the ammonia quickly enough that it also produces visible bubbles.
In one experiment, 8 grams of loaded 13X molecular sieve, in the form of 1/16" pellets, was placed into 2.5 liters of water, and the pH of the water was observed to rise to approximately 10.2 in 120 seconds. The ammonia was desorbed, and within 5 minutes the pH of the water was observed to be 10.5.
In another case, 7 grams of the loaded silica gel material, type 14-20, was placed into 2.5 liters of water in a glass container, and the pH was observed to rise to 9.5 in approximately 150 seconds.
In another case approximately 8.5 grams of type 28-200 silica gel material was placed in 2.5 liters of water, and the pH was observed to rise to approximately 10 in 180 seconds.
In all of the cases, no mixing was employed, and pH readings were taken near the top of the container. The diffusion of the ammonia was sufficient to raise the pH to the desired level. In the case of toilet flushable articles or devices, there are significant consumer benefits to not having to stir a chemical within a toilet bowl. Subsequent tests indicate that mixing the solution can further improve the pH values at the top of the water container. Diffusion will eventually produce a uniform pH of the ammonia water solution, and this is generally considered adequate.
While mixing is not the preferred option, it is still an option if an increase in the speed of attaining a uniform pH in the water solution is desirable. A simple stirring rod is the simplest of all methods to facilitate rapid mixing. If a non-contact system of mixing is desired, as it might be in the case of a toilet bowl, effervescent substances can be successfully employed for this purpose. Experiments have shown that the addition of an effervescent substance to the water can be used to facilitate rapid mixture of the ammonia throughout the water container. The bubbles, produced by the effervescent substance, agitate and mix the water as they rise to the surface of the container.
Examples of effervescent compounds can include, but are not limited to, acid/base reactive couplets, such as Citric Acid/Sodium Carbonate, Citric Acid/Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid/Potassium Bicorbonate, Magnesium Carbonate/Citric Acid. These couplets produce carbon dioxide bubbles upon contacting water (an alka seltzer tablet is an example of this type of compound).
Other effervescing substances include oxygen producing compounds, such as, but not limited to, an inorganic peroxide coupled with an alkaline chemical. An example of this type of compound is Efferdent brand denture cleaner.
The most preferred effervescent compound is molecular sieve pellets or beads loaded with a refrigerant gas, such as difloroethane or 1, 1, 1, 2 tetrafloroethane. Inert refrigerant gas bubbles, upon coming into contact with water, produce gas bubbles which do not interfere with the pH of the water. The chemical based effervescent compounds can change the pH of the water, since they either contain alkaline substances and/or release carbon dioxide gas which forms carbonic acid in contact with water.
This type of disposal of items such as ostomy pouch, sanitary napkins, incontinence pads, etc., is very convenient, easy and environmentally safe for people who are not at home where disposal is normally done. A person may carry a sealed packet in their pocket or purse without fear of an ammonia odor. When necessary to dispose of the ostomy pouch, sanitary napkin, incontinence pad, etc., he/she would merely find a public or private rest room, place it and the loaded sorbent material in the bowl of the toilet, wait until it dissolves and/or disperses, and then flush the toilet.
If a special selectively soluble plastic film is used to construct ostomy pouches, and other toilet flushable devices, the ostomy pouch can be made to dissolve by placing the used pouch in ammonia water at a pH of 10.3 or higher. The specialized soluble plastic film remains intact until it contacts a solution of water at a pH of 10.3 or greater. A preferred example of a selectively soluble plastic material is Goodrich Estane X-4655, made by B.F. Goodrich.
While it is very easy to make pH 10.3 or higher ammonia water in the lab, it is dangerous to have an ostomate (patient) carry concentrated ammonium hydroxide solution on his/her person. It may also be potentially dangerous to carry any form of caustic chemicals, which would cause the pH of the toilet bowl to change to pH 10.3 or higher. Using the package containing a loaded molecular sieve provides the patient with a very easy and safe way of carrying the ammonia in a purse, pocket, etc., and to then change the pH of the toilet bowl water to 10.3 or higher simply by emptying the packet into the toilet bowl.
In the case of a toilet that has a large "water spot" of about 3 liters, it would take only about 8 grams of loaded Zeolite Type 13X molecular sieve 1/16" pellets to bring about this pH change. 8 grams of sieve is very easy to package in a small foil pouch. In case of spillage, the loaded sieve will not irritate dry skin. In the case of wet skin, the release rate of ammonia is slowed down, and is not expected to irritate the skin as much as a liquid chemical would. The zeolite molecular sieves are quite environmentally acceptable to be flushed into sewage systems, since zeolite materials are currently used as water softening agents in clothes washing detergents.
If lesser amounts of molecular sieve pellets are desirable for cost and convenience issues in the case of flushable products, it is possible to minimize usage as follows:
1) At least some of the loaded sieve material can be placed directly into the used ostomy pouch. Water can be added to the inside of the pouch, and the pouch can then be sealed off. The pouch will then dissolve very rapidly from the inside out.
2) The loaded sorbent can be added into a separate pouch (plastic bag), which may be flushable, but not dissolvable by ammonia water. The loaded sorbent can be placed into the plastic bag along with some water, the used ostomy pouch or other item is then placed into the pouch. The pH within the bag, with one gram of loaded 13X molecular sieve and 250 milliliters of water, reaches a pH of approximately 10.5 in a matter of seconds. The dissolution time of the used ostomy pouch constructed of Estane X-4655 plastic material, with a wall thickness of 0.004 inches is then very rapid (about 3 minutes). The entire bag and dissolved contents can be flushed, or the contents only can be flushed in case one desired to retain the disposal bag.
3) The water can be mixed to more quickly distribute the ammonia throughout the water
4) A combination of the above methods can be used.
Other products such as, diaper backing sheets made from the selectively dissolvable material, can also be made to dissolve with this technique. Flushable medical devices which can benefit from this technology include liners for bed pans, urinary drainage bags, incontinence pads, sanitary napkin backing sheets, examination gloves, wound dressings, wound drainage bags, surgical drainage tubing, etc., or any device which upon use would become a biohazard disposal problem.
Other uses of the sorbent material could include making smelling salt formulations which can be created by adding water to small quantities of the loaded sorbents. Alternately, the smelling salt can be exposed to humid air rather than to water.
Various fertilizer formulations can use this technology. Ammonia can be handled safely on a small scale, whereas it normally is only available to farmers, growers, etc. with expensive capital equipment set up to use gaseous ammonia.
Aqua ammonia can be prepared for laboratory use without the need to store the standard 34% by weight ammonium hydroxide solution which is fairly dangerous.
In addition aqua ammonia can be used to enhance the effectiveness of various cleaning agents, such as glass and hard surface cleaners by adding the sorbent material to such cleaners. The adsorbed material can be stored safely until ready for use.
Although the method of producing ammonia water and the method of using the same according to the present invention has been described in the foregoing specification with considerable details, it is to be understood that modifications may be made to the invention which do not exceed the scope of the appended claims and modified forms of the present invention done by others skilled in the art to which the invention pertains will be considered infringements of this invention when those modified forms fall within the claimed scope of this invention.

Reconstructing Earth: Technology and Environment in the Age of Humans
€ 26,49
Bisher € 27,96
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juni 2005
BeschreibungThe Earth's biological, chemical, and physical systems are increasingly shaped by the activities of one species-ours. In our decisions about everything from manufacturing technologies to restaurant menus, the health of the planet has become a product of human choice. Environmentalism, however, has largely failed to adapt to this new reality. Reconstructing Earth offers seven essays that explore ways of developing a new, more sophisticated approach to the environment that replaces the fantasy of recovering pristine landscapes with a more grounded viewpoint that can foster a better relationship between humans and the planet. Braden Allenby, a lawyer with degrees in both engineering and environmental studies, explains the importance of technological choice, and how that factor is far more significant in shaping our environment (in ways both desirable and not) than environmental controls. Drawing on his varied background and experience in both academia and the corporate world, he describes the emerging field of "earth systems engineering and management," which offers an integrated approach to understanding and managing complex human/natural systems that can serve as a basis for crafting better, more lasting solutions to widespread environmental problems. Reconstructing Earth not only critiques dysfunctional elements of current environmentalism but establishes a foundation for future environmental management and progress, one built on an understanding of technological evolution and the cultural systems that support modern technologies. Taken together, the essays offer an important means of developing an environmentalism that is robust and realistic enough to address the urgentrealities of our planet. Reconstructing Earth is a thought-provoking new work for anyone concerned with the past or future of environmental thought, including students and teachers of environmental studies, environmental policy, technology policy, technological evolution, or
PortraitBraden Allenby is professor of civil and environmental engineering and professor of law at Arizona State University. Until 2004, he was vice president for environment, health and safety at AT&T, and is author or co-author of numerous textbooks.

|Re: Field compression too slow
|Thu, 10 Aug 2006 15:49:06 GMT
Thanks for the Jira issue... one question on your synchronization comment... I have "assumed" I can't have two threads writing to the index concurrently, so have implemented my own read/write locking system. Are you saying I don't need to bother with this? My reading of the doco suggests that you shouldn't have two IndexWriters open on the same index. I know that if I try a search from a different JVM while the index is being written I get the odd "FileNotFound" exception, so I had assumed writing concurrently would be a bigger problem. Of course there is a difference between multiple threads in a single JVM, and threads in multiple JVM's (which is my situation). But I may be able to re-architect so I have a single JVM reading/writing the one index if it will allow me to ignore my own locking/unlocking system. As it turns out I have devised an alternate strategy. Storing large amounts of data in the index (compressed or not) seems to have the secondary effect of slowing down retrieval of results... and even led to OutOfMemory errors for me (presumably because the hits.doc(n) call loads the stored fields into memory?). I needed to store the contents of all fields, so when I re-index the document (as some fields change) I don't lose this data (my kingdom for the ability to "update" a field!). I decided to store the "large" data elsewhere outside the index (where I can store/compress it asynchronously) and pull it out from here when I need to re-index. Thanks again for the response.

Best Remote Start For Duramax
I have a 06 duramax and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good remote start for the duramax...
post #2 of 4 (permalink) Old 04-04-2006, 04:07 PM
I would look at either directed electronics (directed.com) ones (clifford, viper, python, ect.) or the astrostart ones. All can be wired to your wait to start light so it doesn't just sit there waiting for a time period.

Bear is mind that 10 minutes is the maximum recommended idle time. Longer carbons up the combustion chamber and turbo; expecially in cold weather. A high idle feature must be used, like the big diesels, for prolonged idling.

Pissed politicsMature
Gabriel had another cigarette before heading in swearing loudly and viciously at the lighter as his claws refused to light it he sat for almost five minutes flicking the little wheel before it lit and he sighed calming down quickly as the smoke filled his lungs.
When he went inside a little while later there was an open bottle on the table in the lounge he could smell strong alcohol.
"Okay?" Sylver asked, Gabriel nodded
"The rule is" Daryll piped up "we're getting drunk" he had a large grin on his face. Gabriel sat down heavily in an empty chair.
"Okay" he said, his voice was a monotone his mind elsewhere. Dawn looked up at him, the daemons face was serious. Gabriel waited for him to say something but he looked back down at the glass in his hand, just as Daryll refilled it. Sylver took the bottle from Daryll and filled a glass for Gabriel.
"Where did this even come from?" Maxwell asked his usually well spoken words were slightly slurred.
"Amarantine left it" Dawn said his voice was as quiet as Gabriel's, Gabriel thought it was strange to hear such a gentle voice from Dawn's 6ft5 build. "A housewarming present" Gabriel finished his glass in one mouthful.
"So what do we do know?" he asked
"About mother?" Sylver asked, Gabriel nodded
"What can we do?" Daryll put in, "she's a psycho."
"She is not a psycho" Maxwell growled at Daryll, "she's still our mother and deserves our respect"
"Why?" Daryll sniffed "it's not like she shows us any is it?"
"Enough" Gabriel snapped, "All I'm saying is that if she decides to actually do something about us its not like we can stop her"
"She won't" Maxwell said Gabriel looked at him, disbelief on his face
"Maxwell, the only ones of us that are vaguely safe are Daryll and Tairas. She wanted us three dead and we're not and that will piss her off"
"Well I don't agree, but I'm going to bed" Maxwell stood up, and tottered down the corridor to his room. Gabriel growled quietly to himself and Daryll poured him another drink.
"I'm off too" he said quietly, he stood and nearly dropped the bottle in Sylver's lap as he tried to pass it to his brother.
"A conversation for tomorrow Gabriel" Sylver said putting the bottle on the table and leaving Dawn and Gabriel sitting there.
Gabriel stood up around five minutes later and Dawn put a hand on his arm.
"Gabriel" he said" "can I stay I don't think me teleporting in this state is a good idea" he sounded like he was struggling to get all the words out.
"Why not?" Gabriel asked pulling out a cigarette.
"Last time, I had a drink on earth tried to go back home and ended up in midair and sort of crashed a bit." Gabriel laughed
"Sure" Dawn smiled. "But…" Gabriel said, Dawn's face dropped, "only if you light this for me" Gabriel grinned holding the cigarette up

First Day of School
It was sunny and crowded as piles and piles of children piled through the school gates for the first day of term.
The school was a boarding school and this time would be the last time that they would pass through those gates, unless for an excursion.
Everyone was getting dropped off by parents in black limosines or hummers. With several suitcases around them they went and greeted all the friends that they had met last time. Year sevens and newbies alike lay back in the shadows unsure as to what to expect and hoping that they would get told what to do.
I was sitting at the top of the steps, waiting for my own friends to turn up, they were late. I did not mind, I liked to try and guess as to who the scholarship people were. And who were here by power of money alone.
That's when I saw him.
Unlike the others who piled through those gates in either anticipation or dread, he had the air of someone who was waiting in a train station for his train to pull out.
Unlike the kids who had many bags from Gucci or others containing all the gear that they would need for the next term. He carried only a single duffle on his back. Seriously worn in as if it had travelled much.
Unlike the rest of the school who wore the mnost expensive clothes they could find ironed and pressed till perfection. He wore boots, jeans and a shirt that looked as well worn as his bag, even slept in.
He didn't even pause as he walked up the steps and into the school.
As I said, the air of someone who is in a train station.
I would have followed had it not been for the arrival of my overly exuberant friend.
"Hiya Kayla." She yelled as she ran over and gave me a hug that would have knocked me off my feet had I been standing.
"HI Jess." I greeted. "What's the goss?"
"Two new people in our leval this year. A girl and boy."
"Yeah, I think I saw one of them."

you look so pretty ^^ I do the same with my clothes 🙂
I'm in love with this skirt! I miss my pastel hair when I see you 🙂 I remember I have been using La Riche Directions cerise mixed with conditioner to get more cool shade of pale pink or dark tulip mixed with conditioner as well (just a drop).
Beautiful photos. Sunset is our favourite time to shoot too! x
that skirt is amazing, and looks fantastic on you! i love the idea of contextualising clothing. if nothing else it gives you a chance to daydream!
What a beautiful color combination! The pink of your skirt is gorgeous.
You look amazing! This is such a beautiful outfit and your hair is looking fabulous. I am the same with clothing, buying things because they remind me of something that someone wore. In my closet I've got my Ewa Aulin dress, my Janis Joplin dress, my velvet Brian Jones pants and my Cynthia Lennon shoes!
I love the pattern on your skirt, so pretty, amazing outfit per usual
Ah!!! I love your hair this colour 🙂 Mine was this colour last year and it will be again in about 3 weeks time (hopefully) for the blog awards – to match my peach dress 😀 yay!!
Love the outfit, but especially the hair……and the socks too! Where are they from?
(Dear Thirty)
Love this outfit and the story your created for it. And your hair color looks amazing 🙂
amazingly lovely! your skirt is everything♥
SUCH a lovely outfit! Love absolutely every piece you're wearing, amazing styling! Take care x
What a cute print and you look adorable.
/ Avy
Finally I come across someone who contextualises their clothes just like I do!!! It's not so much that I find garments have a history, to me they tell a story. And the way I pair them off, tells another story, that could be completely different. WHenever I get dressed in the morning I am telling a story with my clothes, and playing a character in that story!!!
I'm definitely getting the Grease feel from this outfit. That skirt is just so cute! I love that print and the black and pink color scheme of this whole outfit. Your pink hair looks awesome too! I can understand being even more drawn to pink while having pink hair. It just looks so good together!
Gorgeous skirt! Love how you've styles it 🙂 x
What a beautiful outfit! Pink becomes you. And I just bought a pair of socks to wear with heels, wondering if I can pull that off — looking at you here, you've given me confidence. I love how they look on you.
A gorgeous skirt worthy of all the story you give it 🙂
Love your skirt, and your hair is awesome!
Lucia's Loves
You are unique and delightful and I am sooooooooo glad to have found you.
Love and sunshine from Spain
It's a lovely outfit, and that skirt looks like it would be perfect for our Canadian faux-spring here. I look forward to seeing the hair!
Great outfit. The photos definitely capture the mood. I am a great fan of clothing that makes me think of certain movies or characters and it can often be the reason I pick up items when shopping. That and fun patterns, I am a sucker for a kitsch print. Hx
I was just going to ask you were you wearing different colours now that you've changed your hair. I love pink but find I can only wear a peachy blush with my red hair, anything stronger looks wrong. You look fabulous and I would have a gawk at you if I was driving by too! 🙂
I can't believe that skirt is Topshop! I was just about to congratulate you on your incredible vintage find. I LOVE it. You look amazing (as always) but I especially love the Pinks. xxx
I have the same skirt and I love it! xx
That's really fantastic and amazing stylish blog you share with us i like your way .

Should I still be having daily intense involuntary abdominal contractions at 7+mos po for tt w/ muscle repair?
A few weeks po from tt w/ mr, I began getting brutally painful ab contractions overnight upon changing position while sleeping, or early morning as my mind/body began to wake and my legs moved. My abs contract so hard I've actually hurt my spine from my hips/butt lifting off the bed! It's like being hooked to an e-stim machine on HIGH! I was very fit pre-surg yet still can't plank now w/o significant pain. My ps says nothing surgical needed he's at a loss to explain. All day I'm fine. Just sore.
Doctor Answers 2
Muscle Spasms after Tummy Tuck
Dear RPMsMom, Thank you for your question! I agree, I cannot be certain why this is occurring. If patients have muscle spasms after abdominoplasties we typically recommend a muscle relaxant or benzodiazepine such as Valium. 5 mg before bed may be enough to minimize your discomfort and help you to sleep through the night. Good luck!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
A couple of months ago I filed a claim for lost luggage And everything was fine. Recently someone broke into my hotel room and stole some items but the claim was referred to their special investigations unit supposedly bc I filed too many claims in a short time frame. What should I expect from the investigator?
The investigator will look into each claim and likely interview you and anyone else who has pertinent information. The investigator may ask for bills for items you claim were stolen. This is not an exhaustive list.
I am a former federal and State prosecutor and now handle criminal defense and personal injury/civil rights cases. Feel free to check out my web site and contact me at (212) 577-9797 or via email at email@example.com. I was named to the Super Lawyers list as one of the top attorneys in New York for 2012. No more than 5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by Super Lawyers. The above answer is for informational purposes only and not meant as legal advice.Ask a similar question
An insurance SIU is looking for instancs of insurance fraud. Before you meet witgh an SIU investigator make sure you have all the documentation necessary to support the loss. If you lost luggage, did you report it to the air carrier? do you have a copy of the report? If items were stolen from a hotel room, did you file a police report? Was a report filed with the hotel? The investigator will want to see all of this documentation, as well as documentation as to the value of the items that you claim are stolen. Because these do not seem like large claims, it does not seem economical for you to hire an attorney to deal with the SIU, but make sure you have all the documentation and are prepared to answer the investigators questions.Ask a similar question
This is known in the industry as a SIU investigation. In my experience, insurance companies do not conduct SIU investigations unless they suspect fraud. Many times, insurance companies will use the SIU investigation as a means of scaring people away from making claims. Other times, they may really suspect fraud. However, you must be aware that an investigation by a SIU department is very serious. In some instances where the insurance company believes you are making a fraudulent claim, they will threaten to turn you in to the Attorney General of your state for insurance fraud unless you agree to dismiss your claim. As a result of the potential for criminal investigation and the penalties that could come with that, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney before you discuss the claim with anyone from the SIU department. Additionally, if the insurance company is improperly investigating your claim to avoid its responsibiliites, you should consult with a lawyer who handles insurance bad faith claims.Ask a similar question

"Gamifying psychological interventions successfully could revolutionize how we treat mental illness and how we view our own mental health."
Playing a science-based mobile gaming app for 25 minutes can reduce anxiety in stressed individuals, according to research published in Clinical Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
The study suggests that "gamifying" a scientifically-supported intervention could offer measurable mental health and behavioral benefits for people with relatively high levels of anxiety.
"Millions of people suffering from psychological distress fail to seek or receive mental health services. A key factor here is that many evidence-based treatments are burdensome — time consuming, expensive, difficult to access, and perceived as stigmatizing," says lead researcher Tracy Dennis of Hunter College.
"Given this concerning disparity between need and accessibility of services, it is crucial for psychological researchers to develop alternative treatment delivery systems that are more affordable, accessible, and engaging."
That's where the mobile app comes in.
The game is based on an emerging cognitive treatment for anxiety called attention-bias modification training (ABMT). Essentially, this treatment involves training patients to ignore a threatening stimulus (such as an angry face) and to focus instead on a non-threatening stimulus (such as a neutral or happy face). This type of training has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress among people suffering from high anxiety.
In the study, about 75 participants — who all scored relatively high on an anxiety survey — were required to follow two characters around on the screen, tracing their paths as quickly and accurately as possible.
After playing the game for either 25 or 45 minutes, the participants were asked to give a short speech to the researchers while being recorded on video — an especially stressful situation for these participants.
The videos revealed that participants who played the ABMT-based version of the game showed less nervous behavior and speech during their talk and reported less negative feelings afterward than those in the placebo group.
"Even the 'short dosage' of the app — about 25 minutes — had potent effects on anxiety and stress measured in the lab," explains Dennis, who co-authored the study with Laura O'Toole of The City University of New York. "This is good news in terms of the potential to translate these technologies into mobile app format because use of apps tends to be brief and 'on the go.'"
The researchers are currently investigating whether even shorter stints of play – similar to how we normally play other smartphone games — would have the same anxiety-reducing effect.
"We're examining whether use of the app in brief 10-minute sessions over the course of a month successfully reduces stress and promotes positive birth outcomes in moderately anxious pregnant women," Dennis says.
While it's unclear whether this app would produce mental health benefits in those with clinically-diagnosed anxiety, it does present a compelling case for gamified ABMT acting as a "cognitive vaccine" against anxiety and stress. The researchers believe that apps could eventually be developed to assist in the treatment for other mental health disorders, such as depression or addiction.
"Gamifying psychological interventions successfully could revolutionize how we treat mental illness and how we view our own mental health. Our hope is to develop highly accessible and engaging evidence-based mobile intervention strategies that can be used in conjunction with traditional therapy or that can be 'self-curated' by the individual as personal tools to promote mental wellness," Dennis concludes.
The findings could inform new kinds of treatment for people with self-perception disorders, including anorexia.
A visual projection of human heartbeats can be used to generate an "out-of-body experience," according to new research to be published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. The findings could inform new kinds of treatment for people with self-perception disorders, including anorexia.
The study, conducted by Jane Aspell of Anglia Ruskin University in the UK and Lukas Heydrich of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, is novel in that it shows that information about the internal state of the body — in this case, the heartbeat — can be used to change how people experience their own body and self.
Volunteers in the study were fitted with a head mounted display (HMD), which served as "virtual reality goggles." They were filmed in real time by a video camera connected to the HMD, which allowed them to view their own body standing two meters in front of them.
By also recording the volunteers' heartbeat signals using electrodes, the timing of the heartbeat was used to trigger a bright flashing outline which was superimposed on the virtual body shown via the HMD.
After watching the outline flash on and off in sync with the heartbeat for several minutes, the subjects experienced a stronger identification with the virtual body, reporting that it felt more like their own body. They also perceived that they were at a different location in the room than their physical body, reporting feeling closer to their double than they actually were, and they experienced touch at a different location to their physical body.
"This research demonstrates that the experience of one's self can be altered when presented with information about the internal state of one's body, such as a heartbeat," says Aspell.
"This is compatible with the theory that the brain generates our experience of self by merging information about our body from multiple sources, including the eyes, the skin, the ears, and even one's internal organs."
In the future, Aspell hopes the research might help people suffering with self-perception problems, including anorexia and body dysmorphic disorder. She is currently working on a study about "yo-yo dieters" and how their self-perception changes as they gain and lose weight.
"Patients with anorexia, for example, have a disconnection from their own body," Aspell added. "They look in the mirror and think they are larger than they actually are. This may be because their brain does not update its representation of the body after losing weight, and the patient is therefore stuck with a perception of a larger self that is out of date."

Thousands of riders and hunt followers were out across the country with some expecting chaos this weekend when the new law will be put to the test.
Among them were about 200 members of the Duke of Beaufort's Hunt, which dates back to the 17th century, and members of the Bilsdale Hunt, in North Yorkshire.
Mike Hibbard, chairman of the Beaufort's supporters' club, said: "The ban will not benefit the fox population at all. They'll gradually disappear."
An estimated half a million hunt enthusiasts are expected to test the ban at the weekend. Anti-hunt groups also plan to be out, with members using video recorders to film any unlawful killings of foxes.
Mr Hibbard said the Beaufort would meet on Saturday but only for a "trail hunt".
"If we happen to catch a fox on Saturday it will just be a nasty accident for that fox because our intention will be to hunt the trail, not the fox," he said.
Most hunts say they will stay within the law by shooting foxes that are flushed out by the dogs. But police say it is unclear what will happen if hounds end up killing foxes during trail hunts.
The Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, announced that he would consider guidelines "in the near future".
Simon Hart, chief executive of the Countryside Alliance, said: "I have no doubt things will go wrong.
"People are going to be trying to persuade dogs to comply with an Act of Parliament and that is not going to work." He said it would be "nigh on impossible" for the police to distinguish between lawful and unlawful hunts.
"They are going to look and sound very similar to the way they look and sound now."
The Alliance, which is mounting a series of legal challenges to the Act, said the meets will be at locations well placed to allow everyone who
The ban was brought in after opponents in the House of Lords were overruled by MPs invoking the Parliament Act.
The Court of Appeal yesterday rejected a request for a delay by pro-hunt campaigners. Three appeal judges rejected their arguments that the Parliament Act should not have been used.Reuse content

A Student's Job Search Capability Is Only As Good As The Training Received
College leaders have to recognize that they play an essential role in the work success of their students. If students do not receive continuous, high quality and thorough job search preparation training and counseling throughout the whole (2, 4 or 6 year) college experience, it is extremely unlikely that they will conduct and efficient look for employment.
Since they enter the senior year of college, no college leader need to anticipate students to unbelievely transform into efficient task search engines just. Like any course of research, task search preparation needs students to become competent in hundreds of disciplines, prior to they can perform an efficient look for employment.
Satisfying with a Career Services Counselor once a year and regularly checking out the Career Services web site does not in any method constitute quality and extensive task search preparation training and therapy. Even worse, many students do not even receive this amount of help.
A lot of colleges have handed over the employment needs of their students to a single, tiny, understaffed and underfunded division. They call that department Career Services. Nonetheless, when a single Counselor is responsible for 500 to 1,000 students, detailed and quality help is difficult. No college that is truly concerned about the employment success of their students would deal with job search preparation this method.
College leaders understand that they are not doing a great job in this area. Nevertheless, they do not think that task search preparation need to be anticipated of them. But, most colleges take students in at the age of 18 and graduate them at 21 or 22. Specifically where along this line do college leaders think that students find out the strategies and tools required for job searching success?
Students and parents want colleges to do a much better job of preparing students for the senior year job search. They understand that a student's task search ability is just as great as the training got. Because the majority of colleges are letting their students down, any college that makes a special effort to significantly enhance the employment outcomes for their students will rate and celebrated by students and parents alike.
Exactly how can something that is so important to parents and students be ignored by colleges? Exists any college out there that currently puts student task search preparation at the top of its list of priorities and has attain excellent success? Other colleges ought to utilize it as a design if there is. Embarassment on you if there are none.

Eugene plays quarterback on offense, corner on defense for a Destrehan team that is loaded with upperclassmen. He believes that this team has a chance to be special.
"We are supposed to be good … we are ranked number one in the area," Eugene said. "We are top five in the state. We have 36 seniors. Our offense is going to be good … we have great receivers. Our defense is going to be good. We are getting better every day. Our goal is to make it to the Superdome and win the state championship."
The 5-10.5, 185-pound Eugene is the team leader. If the first scrimmage was an indicator, it should be an all-star year for Eugene.
"School started last Monday," he said. "We had a scrimmage last Friday, I had five touchdowns, I passed for three and ran for two touchdowns. We play Riverside next week in a Jamboree."
He excels at quarterback but it's on the defensive side of the ball that college recruiters envision that he will play in the future. The Florida coaches got a good look at him at cornerback when he visited the Friday Night Lights camp on July 22 in Gainesville. Eugene had a good time and learned a lot on the trip.
"It was great, just being in the Swamp was great," he said. "With Coach (Urban) Meyer there that was neat. I really liked the Swamp and the players, and they showed me stuff to help me get to the next level."
Eugene got to spend time with Florida cornerbacks Coach Chuck Heater. Heater put him through some drills and playing situations and Eugene came away highly impressed.
"He was great," he said. "He showed me stuff that I can use right now, and I can show my teammates what to do. Some are drills and coverages and how to see the film and what to watch on the film, stuff like that."
Eugene made the trip to Gainesville with another big time player, wide receiver Ricky Dixon of Reserve (LA). The two are friends and compete against each other every year in football.
"Ricky Dixon and I went down there together," he said. "We were helping each other out while down there. We are only about 15 minutes apart. We play each other every year and are in the same district."
On the recruiting front nothing has changed for Eugene. His list of favorites is still rather large but includes the Gators. He's paying less attention to recruiting at this time, concentrating instead on the football season.
"I have narrowed it down to ten schools," he said. "I haven't set up any officials "
At some point, Jai Eugene will further narrow down his list to the five schools he will visit officially. But, until that time comes, he will be busy helping his team in their chase for a state championship in Louisiana.


text: I have ONE extra ticket for the game tomorrow. If you want it, send me a PM and it's yours for face value (around $70). Cowboys fans only! You can either pick it up at my tailgate party in the Red Lot, or you can meet me in Herndon at 8:30 a.m. before the game and I can give it to you there. I also have an extra parking pass for the Blue Lot, but that would obviously have to be picked up tomorrow morning.

After hearing of the great John Wooden's death at the age of 99 Friday, I listened to all the testimonials from the folks who'd had the good fortune to know him. One of Coach Wooden's greatest admirers (from afar) was New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin, and two years ago, they spent three hours together in Los Angeles. I talked to Coughlin soon after that meeting and he sounded like a kid who'd just met one of his heroes.
I asked the Giants on Saturday if Coughlin might want to share his thoughts on Wooden's passing. Here's the e-mail I quickly received:
"There is a great sense of emptiness today," wrote Coughlin. "We all knew this day was coming, and there was nobody more prepared for it than Coach Wooden because of his devout faith in God and his love for his late wife Nell and the knowledge that he would one day be together with her again. He was a man at peace.
"Still, that sense of emptiness comes from knowing we have lost a national treasure. I was very blessed and fortunate to have had a chance to visit with Coach Wooden a couple years ago just after the league meetings in California. My wife Judy had been encouraging me for years to make a point of going to see Coach Wooden, and with the help of mutual friends, I was able to.
"I spent three hours talking, but mostly listening, to Coach Wooden. It seemed like five minutes. What I have always appreciated about his philosophy is its simplicity and that it transcended sports. He wasn't just a basketball coach, he was and is a life coach, and for that, we can all be thankful. He was the best living example of his teachings about teamwork, preparedness and humility."
Tara Sullivan of the Bergen County Record also weighed in on Coughlin's admiration of Wooden today. I'm not really in position to say whether Wooden was the greatest coach who ever lived, but his legacy will likely be measured in how many lives he affected.

An oft-photographed site, made famous, I suspect, by Ansel Adams photograph of this structure.
To get to Chaco Canyon one has to travel on a 20-mile, seriously rutted dirt road, that makes it very difficult to arrive at the destination. The road is left in that condition to discourage visitors who would inevitably destroy the ancient ruins at the site, planned and constructed in stages between AD 850 to AD 1150 by ancestral Puebloan peoples. (EXIF time is most likely wrong because I didn't change the time in the camera.)

3 Items Found
- Neyers Chardonnay Carneros 2014 Product #31586 (In Stock)
Bruce Neyers makes pure, delicious, Chardonnay with ripe grapes, new and used barrels, and little lees stirring, and pretty much nothing else. His 2014 is rich and creamy with deep aromas and flavors of buttery pear, golden apple, and butterscotch. The texture is lush and round into the generous finish where a touch of citrus pith and minerality bring freshness. A fine drinker's Chardonnay and excellent with food, too.
"This is a luxuriously layered and complex white. It's an expertly rendered combination of ripe, rich fruit—most notably spicy apple and pear—that's completely uplifted by bright acidity and a refreshing mouthfeel. Still youthful, it's both vibrant and nuanced."Wine Enthusiast 92 points
- Rombauer Chardonnay Carneros 2015 Product #31324 (In Stock)
As Wine Spectator said a few years ago, "Rombauer defines the California Chardonnay style so many adore." Ripe fruit from select vineyards in cool Carneros vineyards is harvested and sorted in the dead of night to ensure it reaches the winery in perfect condition. After pressing, the juice ferments and ages 9 months in a mixture of French and American oak (one-third new), picking up buttery notes from malolactic fermentation and a touch of smoke and vanilla bean. Regular lees stirring adds a creamy texture to match the natural richness of ripe, rich, Chardonnay fruit.
From the small but excellent 2015 harvest. "Enticing aromas of ripe apple, bright citrus and melon are layered with creme brulee, baking spices and a touch of butter. Vibrant flavors of tropical fruit, baked apple, citrus and white peach meld with vanilla, baking spices and toasted nuts on the creamy, smooth palate. The finish is juicy with mouthwatering acidity that makes you crave another sip." Winery Note
- Ramey Chardonnay Carneros Hyde Vyd 2013 Product #31219 (In Stock)
"The 2013 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is one of the richest, most powerful Chardonnays in the range. Here it is the wine's phenolic and sense of vertical structure that stand out most. Even with all of its obvious richness and heft, the Hyde preserves remarkable freshness. Dried herbs, orange peel and buttery notes add nuance on the large-scaled, ample finish." Vinous (Galloni) 95 points
"Lastly, the 2013 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard displays plenty of wet, gravelly minerals, medium body and terrific acidity, with notes of apple blossom, citrus, honeysuckle and white peach. This is one of the Chardonnays that ages well, and a 2005 served at the same tasting was still holding onto life."Wine Advocate 91 points
"A classy example of sleek, Burgundian Chardonnay, this is trim, with lively acidity and a zesty offering of tangerine, citrus, tart white peach and subtle oak. Charming now but built to age, this will likely be better by 2017. Sails along on the finish. Drink now through 2021."Wine Spectator 93 points
