1. Field of Invention
This invention relates to new and improved methods of protecting the environment from oil spills in electric power distribution and generating facilities, and the separation of oil from water by automatic means using newer technology for detecting oil/water interface.
2. Description of Prior Art
Electric power distribution substations are located in or near every populated area. Many of these substations are located near streams or other bodies of water. They can also be located near underground water supplies which are tapped by water wells for household or other consumption.
The problem lies in that the electrical devices located in these substations (transformers, circuit breakers, load tap changers and regulators) contain dielectric insulating oils in large quantities. Many of these oils also contain PCB's, which are a major health hazard. These devices are subject to conditions under which the oil contained in them may be leaked into the surrounding environment. Overheating or lightning strikes can cause fires and subsequent rupture of the oil containing vessel spilling hundreds or thousands of gallons of oil. Vandalism with the use of firearms also may result in spills with projectiles penetrating the vessel walls. Oil drain valves on the vessels themselves can also leak or be accidentally left open.
Some power companies have built concrete containment basins around the oil containing equipment in some of their substations in an effort to contain spills. There is still a problem however, because the basins can fill up with rainwater leaving too little room for the volume of oil that could be spilled. A spill occurring with water in the basin, or a heavy rainfall after a spill would result in oil overflowing the walls of the containment basin. Some companies included a manually operated drain valve by which the basin could be emptied of water, but this requires constant checking by company personnel. This is not feasible due to the large number of these substations and their sometimes remote locations. In this age of corporate downsizing and reduced numbers of personnel, many of these substations are electronically operated from remote centralized control facilities and are rarely visited for inspection. The manual water drain valve is also subject to accidentally being left open, allowing not only water but any oil present to escape. In addition, the operating company has no way of knowing that a spill has occurred unless an inspection is made or equipment going out of order alerts them to a problem.
Many of these same problems exist at the electric power generating facilities themselves, and sometimes to a greater extent. These facilities ( hydroelectric generating plants, coal and oil fired power plants, nuclear power plants and gas turbine electric generating plants) are by their nature located on or adjacent to bodies of water. They contain the same electrical devices mentioned above except larger and containing more oil. They also have many other sources of potential spills such as reservoirs of turbine generator lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, and in the case of gas turbine generating plants, tanks containing one million or more gallons of diesel fuel oil.
Prior art has described methods of dealing with these problems at the electric generating plants using capacitance sensors to detect an oil/water interface and thereby automatically drain water or water and oil into a collection sump by opening a solenoid valve in the basin. The water or water and oil is then pumped or drained by gravity into a second sump which collects liquids from the entire facility. There a system of float switches and a capacitance sensor attempt to keep water pumped out of the sump and into the adjacent body of water while stopping short of pumping any oil into the same. This system is more completely described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,305,779 to Izaguirre, Apr. 26, 1994. Other methods of separating oil and water are also described in other art which will be disclosed along with the aforementioned patent as a part of this application process. No prior art was found to make claims on an automatic system for releasing water but retaining oil in the containment basin around the electrical devices themselves and no reference is made to distribution substations remote from the power generating facility.
The prior art uses interconnecting piping, valves and pumps to collect water and spilled oil from several sources into a holding sump and then a second collection sump. Pumps are rotating devices which are subject to wear and electrical failure. If a pump fails due to wear, breakage or corrosion, or if the situation which causes the oil spill also knocks out electrical power to the pumps, the system can fail and overflow oil into the surrounding environment. Solenoid valves used in the past have small orifices and tortuous paths within them which are subject to clogging with debris causing malfunction of the drainage system and overflow of oil.
Existing systems require multiple sensors for detecting oil/water interface and controlling water discharge while retaining oil. They also require AC electrical power which may be lost when one of the aforementioned events occur which cause a spill. Other systems have not addressed the need for a means of alarming when a spill occurs at a substation at the generating plant or at a remote location. The existing inventions do not address the possibility of oil entering the containment basin first, filling the water drain pipe with oil which is then released when water enters the basin and automatic controls open the water drain valve. Other methods of separating oil from water require heat which is expensive, or rely on predicted amounts of water to be drained over a period of time which could change. Although other separation methods use electrical sensors they require the use of extraneous electronic logic computation systems. Perhaps of greatest importance is the fact that newer, simpler and less expensive devices for detecting and controlling oil/water interface are now in existence.
Accordingly, several objects and advantages of my invention are:
To provide a new, novel and improved system, method and equipment for preventing the discharge of oil into the environment due to spills from equipment in electric power substations and generating plants, and to automatically drain accumulated water from the containment area.
To provide a system, method and equipment that is more simple, more economical and more reliable.
To provide a new and improved method and devices for detecting oil/water interface.
To provide local and remote alarm capability to warn of an environmental hazard due to spillage of oil.
In addition and more specifically this new invention will accomplish the above with a novel system and method as follows:
For Automatic Containment Basin Systems
It will incorporate the use of a newer and different device for the detection and control of oil/water interfaces which operates on the principle of thermal dispersion in materials with differing specific heats.
This new interface control requires only one probe or sensor and requires no additional logic other than that which is self-contained to accomplish the task.
The system will completely automate the oil discharge prevention and water drainage system at remote substations and require only periodic inspection. It will automatically drain accumulated water, leaving sufficient capacity for and retaining any spilled oil in the containment basin. In addition, an alarm capability is added to give indication locally or at a central control location that a spill has occurred. This will be discussed in further detail later. The water drain valve will be fully automatic and not subject to improper closing or accidentally being left open.
An electric operated, full ported ball valve will be the preferred equipment for the water drain valve and will offer many advantages as opposed to a solenoid valve. This valve has an opening which is the same diameter as the connecting pipe with no obstructions in the flow path to trap debris. It also features a straight through flow path with no small orifices and no turns which may clog with debris as does a solenoid valve.
This invention operates on DC electric power which is already available at many substations even during power outages with the use of battery back-up control power systems. This would allow the system to operate at any time it is needed to close the valve to prevent oil from being discharged through the piping or to open the valve and release water to prevent oil from overflowing the containment basin walls. It is also a low power solid state system and the valve only uses power when it is called upon to change positions. The system is also available for AC power operation.
The problem of oil being trapped in the water discharge piping and subsequently discharged to the environment is solved with a special and novel piping arrangement.
Another unique feature of the system is that it can differentiate between oil and air and when connected with unique electric circuitry utilized thereby avoid any false alarms when the interface probe is uncovered due to drainage through the valve or evaporation of the water.
A unique feature of this invention is that it relies on gravity drainage of water from the containment basin and requires no pumps. This gives added assurance that the system will not overfill and discharge oil into the environment due to failure of pumps because of wear, mechanical breakage, electric motor failure or corrosion of parts.
This system does not deliberately introduce oil into a piping system which is subject to leakage at joints, fittings, valves and pumps.
This invention accomplishes the separation of oil and water without the means of heat, or electrical energy other than that required to operate the interface detector and the valve.
For Automatic Collection Sump Discharge Systems
This invention may also improve the existing automatic systems for draining building sumps containing oil and water by utilizing the newer thermal dispersion interface detector technology. A thermal dispersion interface detector could be used in place of a capacitance switch. Other thermal dispersion detectors could replace floats which are mechanical devices which are subject to wear, breakage and corrosion.

FIG. 1. shows a side view of the invention, in sectioned or cutaway mode. Item 20 is the concrete containment basin used to hold any oil spill. Item 21- is the apparatus mounting pad on which sets the transformer or other oil containing apparatus. Item 22 is the transformer or other oil containing apparatus. Item 24 is the sump in which the oil and/or water drain by means of the sloped floor of the basin and in which the interface probe and inlet water drain pipe are located.
Item 26 is the inlet water drain pipe which is mounted at an angle sloping upwards from left to right to facilitate the movement of oil out of the pipe as water level in the sump rises. This is to prevent inadvertent discharging of oil which could otherwise be trapped in the pipe and drained out along with water when the water drain valve opens. Item 28 is a grate which serves to protect the interface probe (32) and the inlet water drain pipe (26) from debris such as leaves, sticks or litter. Item 30 is the probe shield/baffle which serves to keep rain off the interface probe which might result in a false signal indicating the presence of water at the probe level. It also serves to deflect any possible rushing of water or oil onto the probe which could result in a false water signal.
Item 32 is the interface probe which is stainless steel and contains two RTD's. One RTD senses the ambient temperature and the other is heated and its value changes with the specific heat or thermal dispersion characteristics of the fluid surrounding it. In conjunction with its accompanying electronics it is able to easily differentiate between oil and water, oil and air or any other combination of substances with different thermal dispersion characteristics. The electronics are usually mounted remote from the probe for convenience. The electronic circuit board features two relays each with an adjustable set point, and a terminal where the power is connected and the relay contacts are wired for use in controlling the valve and alarm. This interface detector is commercially available.
Item 34 is a rigid conduit/support for the interface probe. It would normally be a section of pipe or conduit and serves to hold the probe (32) in place at the desired level where the oil/water interface is to be detected. This invention is not limited by the specific mounting arrangement shown. The interface probe can be located at the proper level by other means such as on a pipe or conduit which is mounted near the top of the basin wall, extending down into the sump from above. The electrical cable which interconnects the interface probe (32) and the interface control circuit board (item 84 in FIG. 3.) passes through 34 and item 36a (flexible conduit) to the electrical junction box (item 42). From there the cable passes through the electrical conduit (item 56) to the control box (item 58) and is there terminated on the Interface control circuit board (FIG. 3., item 84).
Item 60 is the electric power conduit which carries the power which operates the entire system to the control box (item 58). Item 62 is the alarm signal conduit which carries the alarm signal wiring from the control box (58) to the alarm (item 64). The alarm (64) can be either a locally mounted warning light or annunciator, or a remote alarm which is transmitted by wire or radio to the central control location.
Item 38 is the water drain valve. It is preferably a full port ball valve with appropriate seat materials for chemical resistance and tight sealing. It is operated by an electric valve actuator (item 40). The full port ball valve serves to drain the water from the containment basin and seal off oil from escaping. By nature the ball valve is bubble tight sealing. The straight through flow path has no obstructions, makes no turns and is of the same size and shape as the inside of the pipe. This is ideal because it is the least likely valve design to become clogged should any debris reach it. The electric valve actuator is powered through wiring in the flexible conduit (item 36b) which continues through the electrical junction box (42), the electrical conduit to control box (item 56), and terminates in the control box (item 58) on the power relay for electric valve actuator (item 94, FIG. 4.).
Item 48 is the outlet water drain pipe which is connected to the water drain valve. It is important to note that this pipe is sloped downgrade away from the basin so as to drain water passing through the water drain valve away by gravity to a nearby stream or other place suitable for the water to be discharged. Item 50 is an oil drain pipe which is optional. Item 52 is the manual oil drain vale which has a locking handle and is optional as is item 54, the connection for portable oil drain pump. The water drain valve (38) is located in the valve pit (item 44) and is protected from the elements by the valve pit cover (item 46) which is an optional item.
In FIG. 2., we again see the system, this time in line diagram form without as much detail. The purpose of this figure is to see the orientation of the features in the side view. Item 20 is the containment basin. Item 21 is the apparatus mounting pad. Item 22 is the transformer or other oil containing apparatus. Item 24 is the sump.
Item 26 is the Inlet water drain pipe, item 40 is the electric valve actuator, and item and item 48 is the outlet water drain pipe. Item 32 is the interface probe which is underneath the probe shield/baffle, item 30. Item 34 is the rigid conduit support for the interface probe.
Item 42 is the electrical junction box to which the electrical conduits 36a, 36b and 56 in FIG. 1 are connected. Item 50 is the oil drain pipe, item 52 the manual oil drain valve, and item 54 the connection for portable oil drain pump. Items 50, 52 and 54 are all optional and are not essential for the operation of the system.
FIG. 3 is an inside view of the equipment in the control box. The exact position of each item in the control box is not important. The purpose is to show what embodiments are necessary for operation of the system. Item 58 is the outline of the control box. Item 84 is the interface control dual set point circuit board, on which is located item 86- set point no. 1 relay, and item 88- set point no. 2 relay. Item 90 is the circuit board terminal block, and item 94 is the power relay for electric valve actuator.
FIG. 4 is an electrical line schematic showing the operation of item 94, the power relay for electric valve actuator. Item 82 is the power supply, preferably 24 volts DC for fail-safe operation of the system at all times. Item 100 is the normally open contact/set point no.1.
FIG. 5 is an electrical line schematic showing the electrical connections for operating the alarm. Again we see item 82, the power supply, connected to the alarm (item 64) through both item 102, the normally closed contact/set point no. 1 and item 104, the normally closed contact/set point no. 2.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a gravity containment basin (20) which is constructed around the transformer or other oil containing apparatus (22). The containment basin is custom designed to hold the oil volume contained in 22, plus additional capacity dependent on the maximum expected rainfall for the area if outdoors and any fire protection water volume.
The containment basin has a sloping floor which drains the entire area basin toward a sump 24., which is located in one comer of the basin. This allows all rainwater, spilled oil, or water from other sources to be collected in the sump. The sump is covered by a grate 28 to prevent debris such as sticks, leaves or litter from entering the sump and posing a possible clogging problem of the water drain system. The containment basin shown is constructed of concrete but other alternate materials are possible. The sump is large enough to accept a large inlet water drain pipe 26 and the interface probe 32, both of which protrude through the concrete wall of the sump into the adjacent valve pit 44.
As rainwater fills the sump the level rises above the inlet water drain pipe 26 which is sloped upward from left to right as shown. This allows any oil which was previously in the sump to float out of 26 and onto the top of the water, due to the lower specific gravity of the oil. Approximately 2 inches above the top of 26 is the interface probe 32. It should be located near but just below the top of the sump. This will allow the control system to keep the basin drained of water except that which is below the interface probe 32. When water covers the interface probe 32 set point relay no. 1 (86) is energized, closing normally open contact/set point no.1 (100) and energizing the power relay for electric valve actuator (94). This sequence applies power to 40, the electric valve actuator and opens the water drain valve 38, allowing water to drain by gravity through the outlet water drain pipe 48.
As the level in the sump drops below the interface probe and it comes into contact with oil or air, its set point is adjusted to de-energize set point relay no. 1 (86), reopening normally open contact/set point no. 1 (100) and de-energizing power relay for electric valve actuator (94). This action then applies power to 94 for closing of the valve 38, preventing water or oil from escaping.
Should an oil spill occur, the oil would float on top of any water in the basin and sump. As water is drained out, the interface control circuit board will de-energize set point relay no. I as soon as the oil comes into contact with the interface probe, closing the valve and preventing any further drainage.
Normally water will stay above the top of the inlet water drain pipe 26 unless evaporation takes the level lower. If an oil spill occurred under this condition, oil will fill the sump and also the inlet water drain pipe. The water drain valve will not open until the interface probe comes into contact with water again. Should water begin to enter the sump at this time, it will seek the lowest level and begin to fill the sump pushing the oil/water interface up above the interface probe. It is important to note the novel feature of the inclined angle of the water inlet pipe. As the oil/water interface rises, oil which would have filled the inlet water drain pipe floats out of the pipe and onto the surface of the water. When the water drain valve reopens the oil is floating on top of the water and not discharged.
An alarm function is possible with the system using the normally closed contacts/set point no. 1 (102) to initiate a possible alarm. Since the set point no. 1 relay is de energized when the probe in oil or air, a false alarm is prevented by placing normally closed contact/set point no. 2 (104) in the circuit to allow the alarm signal to pass. Set point no. 2 relay (88) is set to de-energize when the probe is in contact with oil or water and energize only when the probe in surrounded by air. Therefore if the probe is in air, the alarm signal will be prevented from reaching the alarm.
It should also be noted that relay 86 is energized only when the probe 32 is in contact with water and de-energized in oil or air. Relay 88 is energized only in air and de-energized when 32 is in oil or water. This makes the system fail safe so that upon loss of power or electrical malfunction, the valve will always be directed to close and the alarm assume that an oil spill has occurred.
Thus the reader will see that the above system and method is a relatively simple, reliable and inexpensive method and means for protecting the environment from oil spills from electrical equipment in electric power substations.
While the above description contains many specifics, these should not be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, but rather as an exemplification of one preferred embodiment thereof. Many other variations are possible.
For example, the invention can also be applied at any place where oil containing equipment is stored or worked on, not just electrical equipment. The thermal dispersion oil/water interface detector can be used in prior art systems to replace capacitance switches and floats. The system does not necessarily have to be gravity drained but could utilize pumps to evacuate the water as well as the oil, automatically or manually. Sumps could be replaced by above ground tanks. Materials of construction could be different. A different type valve could be used or an electrically switched air operated valve actuator could replace the electric motor operated valve actuator. Sizes and shapes of the containment basin, sump, valve and piping can change as needed or desired.
Of great importance is the fact that the interface probe can be placed in different positions and mounted by different means than shown here. This invention also implies that it is not just an oil/water separation system but will work anywhere two non miscible fluids of differing specific gravity need to be separated. It need not be used for accidents only but also for any deliberate fluid separation system.
Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined not by the embodiments illustrated, but by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.

Ripoff Report
Mary MacDonald Allstate Insurance3750 Dacoro Ln #125 Castle Rock, Colorado USA
Mary MacDonald Allstate Insurance fraudulent billing practices Castle Rock Colorado
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I had an auto insurance policy with Mary MacDonald Allstate Insurance company of 3750 Dacoro Ln Suite #125, Castle Rock, CO 80109
When I began this policy I was told provided that I received no tickets or accidents within the years and I would qualify for lower premiums. Fair enough.
On the 11th month of the policy I was sent a 3x5 mailing card from there company Allstate.
It stated on the card that the policy was set to expire soon and that for $100.00 I could "review the policy and find the lowest rate".
There were no accidents or tickets within the year.
I paid the $100.00. (Like a fool).
(Come to think of it I have never heard of an insurance company doing this).
When the new policy was drawn up the insurance premiums were now $50.00 HIGHER each month than before not to mention that I paid $100.00 for these higher premiums.
The agreement was that if there were no tickets and no accidents the premiums after one year would be lower, i.e. "good driver discount"
I dropped that policy immediately when I found this out that I would be paying even more for being a "good driver".
There was one month left on the policy.
I told them to cancel immediately.
But they didn't!
Should I have got in a wreck on that 11th. month they would turn around and say, "you weren't covered"
This is a total fraud and ridiculous tactic to force people out of money.
This is shitty business practice and I will say this.
Did you think I would stick around after pulling this stunt? You lost a long term customer, you did it to yourselves.
Never again will I use Allstate Insurance and I will tell everyone I know the same, especially Mary MacDonald Allstate in Castle Rock, CO.
There is nothing that spreads faster than a bad word of mouth about a business."

We use one. Very nice for filling containers. You will still get one or two drips with each container. They are not 100% no drip.

I have one of the No Drip Valves and one of the old ones. I like the new one just fine. I still have a drip pan on the floor.
Mark Berninghausen
I have 4 of the older brass ones, 2 from Maxant and 2 from Kelly. You can't hardly tell them apart. Like others said you get one drip. Have the next empty jar in left hand, pickup full jar with right and set empty in place. If they start leaking around plunger order a few o- rings and they are easy to rebuild.
You will never go back to gate valve after using one.

Do they work on cold unheated honey?
I believe that they are to be used on warm honey. I'll be using a water jacketed tank. Perhaps others could comment on cold vs warm.

The old brass ones were a standard brass t fitting. We wanted to get away from that and into a stainless steel unit.
The entire body, top cap, and lever guide are all solid SS that are turned down and CNC.
In the end we feel its a superior product, to our older brass pieces.
Its designed to be used with warm honey.
The link above shows the old style valve on the tank.
Here is the correct one, scroll down a tad.
And you can watch "old Teddy" use one!

Room temperature honey, the valve works fine.
Mark Berninghausen
I found the fittings
to adapt a Mannlake 2 inch stainless steel bottling valve
to a 100 lb. honey bottling tank (you can actually get 110 lbs. of honey in the tank)
We tried the 1 inch bottling valve and they leaked and were VERY slow. The above set up is a bit pricey but worth EVERY penny. I was able to bottle 80 gallons of honey by myself in 2 days. Could have done it all in one day if we had the honey all extracted and ready to go.
The 2 inch bottling valve allows room temperature honey to be bottled VERY quickly and with VERY little mess and only a very occasional drip.
Astrobee, your PM box is full!
Nice find Live Oak, minus the imported honey tank

Nonesensical Nothingness; Red Queens, Pink Diamonds and Lithium
Mad stuff in the brain everyone says I haven't got ;)
And sometimes the tablets fall from their
Brown-glass jars and scatter like a
Rainfall of candy; a catalyst, provoking new bipolar twists.
My mind is full of impulsive nothings,
Threaded together by brutality.
Pink diamonds soak to crimson in the rein
Of the Red Queen; sparkle in the
Slaughterhouse palace.
My mind is a minefield.
Electric whips and razor blades,
Vermillion arches,
Bloody rainbows, lithium.
These pretty voices in my head are rich
As fool's gold and equally cold.
Fairylight mentallity; your dimming light
Flickers within the abyss of my chest.
We're both dead,
And it's killing me.

Toonari post is a good platform; one that could grow into something new and innovative. You can trust me when I say that it is a good place to get your message out there in the world. If there is something that is not being covered out there, tell us about it and we will cover it.
Opportunities in life come and go, but the people we meet can make an unexpected offer to us, that could bring along a great experience. This was the case with Erin Chavez. Erin was born in a small town in Western New York where she studied Psychology. After getting her Bachelors degree, she moved to Florida to go to graduate school and begin to work in a Mental house center where she met Sherol.
After some time, Sherol contacted Erin again and made her a proposition. œ I was pretty burned out of the mental house center, and Sherol proposed to me the idea of starting work with Africana Online. This was the first Project before Toonari Post was created, and all I started doing is writing 2 articles per day, and submitting them to the website. It used to take me all night to write two or three articles, but now 'm doing even nine articles per day. The more you do, the more you know to do your research, and everything becomes easier and faster.
She started writing and accomplishing one of her dreams. œ Since I was 6 years old, I always wanted to be a writer. I would sit in my room and write stories. But I guess the only thing that backed me a bit was the thought that journalists don't make much money. But now I′m back, this is my first real journalist experience. We just get to do our own thing, and if you need support you have it there, you just need to go online and reach out for your colleagues.
Even thought she has never worked for a newspaper, or had a journalist job in previous jobs, Erin is glad to have joined Toonari. œIt is a great experience, because any job you apply to in the future as a journalist will want to see some published work. This is something that people admire and think, 'ooh what is this'".
When you write, you wait for an article to be exposed and discover by the readers. œI was exited about the articles that were linked to a big blog. I'm really exited about those. Information cannot get anywhere if its not being shared. If you get that buzz going it can get bigger.
œI like that I feel that it can really do something. I love having all these interns from all parts of the world. We are working from all over. And if I get the chance to travel now I have friends to visit.

our beachfront playground
As one of only a few South Beach hotels with a beachfront location, the South Seas is a little bit of everything – an iconic Art Deco hotel just steps from SoBe's world-famous glitz, glamour and nightlife and a resort-style beach hideaway where you never have to leave the grounds to enjoy a wonderfully relaxing stay.
From the first light of day to long after the sun has set, a host of pleasures awaits at South Seas Hotel. Enjoy our complimentary breakfast buffet on the terrace. Sink into a chaise lounge by our beachfront saltwater pool – heated to perfection year-round – or head up to the deck to soak up the brilliant Miami Beach sun. Catch up on your favorite book while swaying in a palm grove hammock (and be sure to watch for the South Seas' resident iguana, who loves snacking on the abundant hibiscus). Just beyond the grove and lush gardens, the beach awaits. Plunge into the warm Atlantic surf, go for a jog along the boardwalk or spread your towel in the sand and do absolutely nothing at all. After lunch by the pool, sneak off to a private cabana. In the evening, sip cocktails under the stars at Pilikia, our café on the beach.
With so much to do, the South Seas Hotel is the perfect destination for special events or casual weekend getaways. Allow us to help you host an unforgettable private gathering or just spend a few days lounging by the pool. The choice is entirely yours.

[PHOTO] Culture: Container Iris Gardening - ( Sandra ) | Thu, 9 May 2002 18:26:23" />
All I do for winter protection is place four 1 foot wooden stakes in each corner of the container, then place burlap over the stakes and attaching the burlap to the containers with clothespins. See first photograph.
This procedure isn't done to keep the irises warmer in a Zone 5 iris garden, rather its done as a preventative measure should a rapid thaw in the spring follow a normal 40" of snow per Michigan winter. One winter did not place burlap over the containers and sure enough there were 3 days of 60 degree temperatures in late February resulting in standing water and ice blocks in the top 2" of the containers. See second photograph.

- One year of LDF govt in Kerala: Celebration time? No, just relief
Scoring 5.8 marks out of 10 is not an exemplary achievement. However, the near-first class mark scored by Pinarayi Vijayan government in the TOI-Ipsos survey will be more than a satisfactory appraisal for the government, which faced several controversies in its first year. What has to be read along with this is that the opposition received only 5 marks in the survey, giving the ruling front a clear edge. With 82% of the respondents pointing out that they would elect the incumbent MLAs again, the survey makes it clear that the LDF will be voted back to power if an election is held now.The LDF can have 75 MLAs in the new assembly, based on the trend. Several findings of the survey would come as a relief to chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan, who came under attack not only from the opposition but also from the second biggest party in the LDF. The popularity of the CM has soared and majority of respondents said they do not find his style of working autocratic. While 46% respondents found veteran leader V S Achuthanandan as the best chief minister, Pinarayi Vijayan came to the second spot with 29% extending their support to him. Oommen Chandy , who had been a popular choice and fought neck on neck with VS in earlier surveys conducted by many agencies, was pushed to the third spot. Only 25% respondents found Chandy as the best CM. The pattern was similar across genders, age groups and geographical areas. The survey also gives a different perspective than that portrayed by media in general on many controversial issues. For instance, 48% respondents believe the LDF could tackle political violence in Kannur more effectively while 43% think otherwise. Though Sangh Parivar has raised a hue and cry about the 'CPM sponsored' violence in Kannur, it seems public statements by Vijayan decrying violence and exhorting for ideological transformation might have won the hearts of voters. Same is the case with Athirappilly project. Though there was a huge opposition on ground, majority of respondents (44%) feel the project is still executable. Vijayan is for the project while the CPI is against it. The emergence of the 'confused voter' is another significant aspect of the survey . For most of the controversial questions, the number of voters who chose to opt for 'don't know can't say' were significant. When asked whether Vijayan was an autocrat, 16% of voters opted for 'can't say'. While 52% said Jacob Thomas as vigilance director could tackle corruption well, 20% of voters chose to be neutral by opting 'can't say'. Similarly, around 23% respondents answered 'can't saydon't know' when asked whether MV Jayarajan's appointment as the private secretary to CM will improve coordination between the government and party. "A respondent can opt for 'can't say' option on several occasions. Either he may choose not to be part of a controversy or he may find the question difficult to interpret. Sometimes, 'can't say' comes up as dominant answer because of wrong sampling," said S Georgekutty , psephologist.
- 46% respondents see improvement in fight against corruption
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The LDF was voted to power at a time, when public sentiment against corruption was quite high. As per the TOI survey , 46% feel there has been an improvement in fight against corruption in one year of LDF government rule. More than men, its Malayali women who believe that LDF government has been strong in its fight against corruption. This feeling is common amongst all age groups.The survey shows that 48% women and 44% men believe that LDF's rule of one year has seen an improvement in fight against corruption. The feeling varies slightly in the rural and urban areas, with 48% in urban areas and 44% in rural areas agreeing to this. While majority in the age group of 36 to 50 (57%) have given a thumbs up to Pinarayi's fight against corruption, the youth (18 to 25) don't seem to be too convinced as only 38% have endorsed it. "Initially, in some of his statements after assuming office of the chief minister, he sounded tough on corruption. However, subsequently in the rift with the CPI and recently in the DGP Senkumar episode he cut a sorry figure. His attempt to justify minister M M Mani showed that nothing had changed. The CPI seems to take a stronger position on corruption effectively than CPM," said Praveena Kodoth, associate professor, Centre for Development Studies. People also believe that the state has seen infrastructure development and employment opportunities have improved in the last one year of LDF rule. While 32% believed that there is infrastructure development, 30% said that employment scenario has improved. Experts said that in the last one year, no new infrastructure project has been announced. "All projects that we talk about are the ongoing projects that started much before the present government came to power," said S Gopakumar, president, Better Kochi Response Group. As per the survey, while 34 % women and 31% men believe that there has been infrastructure development in last one year. People in both urban (32%) and rural (33%) agree to this. "This government has not done anything new on the social security front or adopting austerity measures. The transgender policy is gathering dust. It seems like there are strong rifts within the government that are blocking governance," added Kodoth. "Do people have any count of the crimes against women and children. They don't really know what is happening in society and to that extent this is a short coming of the survey," said activist Rajeena V P. UNCAGED PARROT' EARNS GOODWILL TEAM TOI Reassuming the office of the director of vigilance and anti-corruption bureau on June 1, 2016, exactly a year after he was removed from the post by the previous UDF government, Jacob Thomas had hinted that the corrupt would face the music. Though the 'uncaged parrot' was asked to go on leave after repeated adverse remarks from the high court for 'interfering in matters beyond his powers', the overall public impression he made during his tenure as the vigilance chief seems to go in his favour. Fifty-two percent of the respondents of the survey feel that Thomas could tackle corruption in a big way, which is in tune with the survey's finding that the LDF government had its biggest achievement in the fight against corruption.Thomas has more number of respondents from urban Kerala voting in his favour (57%) and those aged between 36-50 years (60%) and 51-64 years (56%), lauding his anti corruption drive. However, only 41% of voters aged between 18-25 years were in his favour whereas 38% voted in negative. His bold stand in the bar bribery case against former finance minister K M Mani, which put the previous UDF government in a tight spot, and his instrumental role in the raid against former PWD secretary T O Sooraj have earned him good reputation.

Peanut-ketchup chocolate! It's...American?
By C N Heidelberg 18:39 food 11 comments
The packaging certainly seems to be suggesting this is an American flavor...
ETA: From their website! "Carries the potential of becoming the favourite chocolate - not only for Americans. Delicious peanut-nougat with cracknel*, an addition of paradise apples/tomatoes with chilli and yellow chocolate as fruity and spicy supplement, eventually coated with noble bitter couverture."

Those of you who speak or just dig German will appreciate the maps at this site, which show usage information for various terms for the same thing. The list of maps is in the left column. For example, this is the map for what we boringly call Kartoffelpuffer, and I heard people in Mainz call Reibekuchen (according to the map they weren't locals, though), and the Regensbloggers call Reiberdatschi.

Now, he's effectively gone for life: an eight-year ban has been imposed on the latest Russian doping case. That makes the Russian case file of woe second to none in world swimming – and fit for third place on the all-time ranking of rogue nations in the pool after the GDR and China.

"We knew it was going to be close," Paul Wolfe, Keselowski's crew chief, said of the fuel in Keselowski's No. 2 Dodge at the end. "We knew everyone else was in the same boat, but we get a little bit better fuel mileage." Johnson, who slowed to save fuel in the final laps, wound up fourth. "For starters, were' not very good at fuel mileage races," Johnson said. "I'm improving; we're improving."

Re: Thoughts on Content
THey are looking for, like, website/community stuff. Lotsa suggestions for DLC and in-game content and that is NOT what Gypsy/SSM are asking.
Just wanted to clarify. More than half the posts here are for GAME content instead of website/community content.
Re: Thoughts on Content
If we had those I would be all over organizing some events!

Re: Thoughts on Content[ Edited ]
An allegiance free Spell called "**bleep**!!!!" or "PING!!!!" once cast it levitates you and the last player to hit you. Then the game measures your ping to the host. Who ever has worse Ping dies. If it's a draw you both die. If you use it on the host you automatically loose. If you are the host you automatically win.
Also complete weapon and armor sets. ie. Armor of Hermes to go along with Spear, or Cyclops Hammer, to go along with the armor
Re: Thoughts on Content
I have been playing the MP since the Beta but never played a GOW game before that. Plaayed the SP some but haven't finished it. I have gotten better since the game cam out but there is still a lot I don't know and could use some help with, combos in particular. I think I have a decent idea of what weapon & armor to use together but would welcome some suggestions for builds too. I originally thought having a well rounded character would be ideal but found that focusing on mainly one stat (usually physical or elemental damage) gives the best results.
Also some of the Abilities, especially Relics are clearly better for one mode over another. Advice for builds depending on mode could also be useful. I could use some tips & tricks for the maps too.
Some other random ideas:
As has already been mentioned, detailed descriptions & stats for every weapon & armor, what their special attacks do, any special features to the weapons (chargable, co-op feature with a teammate, etc.)
Tips for fighting, or rather not dying with the flag
Again, tips for performing combos
Re: Thoughts on Content
1. Host tournaments in specific regions. I don't know if this is even possible but I would like to see it done as it would keep people interested beyond the monotonous trials of levelling up. People would have something to look forward to every month, 2 months, or whatever time frame you would have it in.
2. Recognise players in different regions for different achievements. Or you could do it by continent to make it easier.
Country - Australia / North America / Brazil / Sweden
- highest win streak
- most alters captured

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - June 25, 1993, New Braunfels, Texas Opinion Page 4 Herald-Zeitung Friday, June 25,1993. Q IJ I A H I I "lf a little knowledge Ie dangerous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger?" • Thornes Henry Huxley English biologist, 1877 EDITORIALS'A tip of the hat9Area has much to be proud of after battle to preserve springs A group of concerned citizens, including the Lone Star Chapter of the Sierra Club, the Guadalupe-Bianco River Authority and Doug Miller representing the interests of Comal County, the City of New Braunfels and New Braunfels Utilities, joined and led a fight to help save the Edwards Aquifer. Their cause was to protect the natural water source and the wildlife which relics on ii It didn't take long for many other citizens and organizations to join in the fight to protect them. And despite having to battle the powerful interests of San Antonio and the Farm Bureau, their cause won out, due to the persistence of these concerned citizens. And all are to be commended for their efforts, their persistence, their dedication. It was a long, hard fight. A regulatory commission has been established to monitor the springs, and the wildlife it supports. The Edwards Aquifer Authority, as it is now called, will keep watch to make sure proper, controlled amounts of water are being taken from the Aquifer. They will make suit the proper levels of water are flowing from the springs. They will make sure the the natural wonder is not abused. However, the battle may have been won, yet die war is not over. There will be other dangers to the Aquifer down the road, but there will be a governing body to answer to for those who abuse the Aquifer. San Antonio will surely have to seek a surface-water source to supply their city with water. That alone may have been worth the effort.

Postmaster Send address changes to the New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung, P.O. Drawer 311328, New Braunfels, Tx. 78131-1328. Here's a blockbuster legal thriller! Like most people, I can always use an extra 7 or 8 million dollars, which is why today I have decided to write a blockbuster legal thriller. Americans buy legal thrillers by the ton. I was in many airports over the past few months, and I got the impression that aviation authorities were making this announcement over the public-address system: ''FEDERAL REGULATIONS PROHIBIT YOU FROM BOARDING A PLANE UNLESS YOU ARE CARRYING 'THE CLIENT' BY JOHN GRISHAM." I mean, EVERYBODY had this book. ("This is the captain speaking. We'll be landing in Seattle instead of Detroit because I want to finish 'The Client ' ") The ironic thing is that best-selling legal thrillers generally are written by lawyers, who are not famous for written communication. I cite as Exhibit A my own attorney, Joseph DiGiacinto, who is constantly providing me with shrewd, well-reasoned advice that I cannot understand because Joe has taken legal precaution of translating it into Martian. Consider his faxes. Usually, when people send you a fax, they send a cover page on top of it, which conveys the following information: ''Here's a fax for (your name)." But Joe's cover page features a statement approximately the length of the U.S. Constitution, worded so legally that I can't look directly at it without squinting. It says something like: ''WARNING: The following document and all appurtenances thereto and therein are the sole and exclusionary property of the aforementioned (hereinafter 'The Mortgagee') and may not be read, touched, spin-died, fondled or rebroadcast without the expressively written consent of Major League Baseball, subject to severe legal penalties (hereinafter 'The Blowtorch Noogie') this means YOU." And that's just Joe's COVER PAGE. Nobody has ever dared to read one of his actual faxes, for fear of being immediately thrown into prison. This is typical of U.S. legal correspondence,Dave Barry the primary purpose of which is to scare everybody who comes into contact with it into immediately hiring a lawyer. Nevertheless, some lawyers are hugely successful writers, and I intend to cash in on this. I am not, technically, a lawyer, but I did watch numerous episodes of ''Perry Mason," and on one occasion, when I got a traffic ticket, I represented myself in court, successfully pleading ''nolo contendere" (Latin, meaning ''Can I pay by check?"). So I felt well-qualified to write the following blockbuster legal thriller and possible movie screenplay: CHAPTER ONE The woman walked into my office, and I instantly recognized her as Clarissa Fromage, charged with murdering her late husband, wealthy industrial polluter A. Cranston ''Bud" Fromage, whose death was originally reported as a heart attack, but later ruled a homicide when sophisticated laboratory tests showed that his head had been cut off. 4 'So," she said, and I could tell by the way she spoke the word that it had quotation marks around it. *'You're a young Southern lawyer resembling a John Grisham protagonist as much as possible without violating the copyright laws." "That's right," I replied. "Perhaps we can have sex." "Not in the first chapter," she said. CHAPTER TWO "Ohhhhhhh," she cried out "OOOHMIGOD." "I'm sorry,'' I said, "but that's my standard hourly fee." CHAPTER THREE The courtroom tension was so palpable that you could feel it " Detective Dungman," said the district attorney, "please tell the jury exactly what you found inside the defendant's purse on the night of the murder. " "Tic-Tacs, " said Dungman. "Was there anything else? " "No, I can't think of... Wait a minute. Now that you mention it there was something. " "What was it?" "A chain saw." A murmur ran through the courtroom and, before the bailiff could grab it jumped up and bit Judge Webster M. Tuberhonker on the nose. ''That's going to hurt, " I told my client CHAPTER FOUR With time running out on the case, we returned to my office for a scene involving full frontal nudity. CHAPTER FIVE A hush fell over the courtroom, injuring six, as I approached the witness. "Dr. Feldspar," I said. "You are an expert, are you not?" "Yes, " he answered. "And you are familiar with the facts of this case, are you not? "Yes." "And you are aware that, as a trained attorney, I can turn statements into questions by ending them with 'are you not,' are You not?" "And is it not possible that, by obtaining genetic material from fossils, scientists could clone NEW dinosaurs?" ''OBJECTION!" thundered the district attorney. "He's introducing the plot from the blockbuster science fiction thriller and motion picture 'Jurassic Park'!" The judge frowned at me over his spectacles. "In the movie," he said, "whom do you see playing the defendant in Chapter Four?" "Sharon Stone," I answered. 'Til allow it," he said. CHAPTER SIX "And so, ladies and gentlemen of the jury," I said, "only ONE PERSON could iiave committed this murder, and that person Is..." The guilty party suddenly jumped up, causing the courtroom to nearly spit out its chewing gum. "THATS RIGHT!" the guilty party shouted. "I DID IT, AND I'M GLAD!" It was Amy Fisher. Republicans launch last-gasp attack on tax By ALAN FRAM A—oclated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans are waging a last-gasp attack on the proposed new gasoline tax, but Senate Democrats and their deficit-reduction package emerged triumphant over a GOP plan with no new taxes. The Democratic plan is aimed at paring $516 billion from federal deficits by 1998. The GOP alternative was dispatched on a near party-line 55-43 vote. The Democratic bill largely follows President Clinton's economic plan and leaders of both parties anticipated passage today.Analysis The House approved a similar bill in May, but a compromise will have to be written before it can become law. Republicans said their alternative and its spending limits on Medicare and other programs would have driven budget deficits even lower than the Democratic measure. "Unless we get a grip on the (benefits programs) ... of this United States, in the year 2030 your grandchildren will be picking grit with the chickens," warned Senate Whip Alan Simpson, R-Wyo. They also said the $249 billion in new taxes in the Democratic bill would do little more than hinder the economy and cost jobs. "The employees of small businesses are going tq suffer the most," said Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, R-Kan. Democrats chided Republicans for offering a pack-' age dial would have killed one of the keystones of Clinton's deficit-reduction plan: higher taxes on the best-off Americans and on business. "Those who make more than $200,000 a year — we wish them the best, they're great Americans, I they've done well, they've succeeded, they should; participate in sharing the burden," said Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine.

IP Code
The IP Code (or International Protection Rating, sometimes also interpreted as Ingress Protection Rating*) consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. As defined in international standard IEC 60529, it classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof.
The digits (characteristic numerals) indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below. For example, an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not be damaged or become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water. IP22 or 2X are typical minimum requirements for the design of electrical accessories for indoor use.

"I'm sorry Janelle!" I screamed helping her up.
"Jeez Emily. How come I can never sense your there or read your thoughts?" Janelle asks shaking off the dust that covers her body.
"I dunno, but we need to find Lilian! He's somewhere in the rubble!" I skipped through the rubble like a little princess. Yeah, I am the oyoungest out of the group which makes me the weakest and the dumbest, but that's okay.
"I think I see Lilian!" I shout. I run over to a big pile of rocks that is odly piled. I push over the rocks, and Lilian tumbles down with them. "YAY! It's LILIAN! I could almost kiss you right now!' I shout helping him up and giving him a big hug.
"Stop! Where are the others!" He shouts.
"They got taken away by some people, but hey! Now we are all by ourselves!" I say winking at him.
"Me too," Janelle says with her arms crossed.
"Oh yeah, you too." Me and Janelle really don't get along. I think because she thinks she's betetr than I am because she's older.
"We need to go save them," Lilian says, pushing me awayf rom him.
"I guess so. Let's go!" I linked arms with Janelle and Lilian and we started to skip down the road.
"Umm... Emily... We have no idea where we're going..." Lilian points out.
"Oh yeah. Well Janelle can read minds! She'll show us the way!" I suggest. Lilian and I both look at Janelle. Janelle closes her eyes and listens intently.

Yo yo yo
I got some rhymes to throw
But I'll be quick
Cuz then I gotta go.
I wrote this once and deleted it
I'm really no good that this rapping… crap
Now what does is mean?
That oddball's name?
It's a "rain" with a "dance"
But what does it claim?
Well, crazy as I am,
That's what I like to do
I dance in the rain
No inhibitions or shoes.
In the summer time
When the drops pour down
You can find me in street
Just dancin' it out.
Break a fortune cookie
"Beware of grape with wooden mallet."
Ain't that the truth!
It started with a lack of nom de plume
And it ended with a flower; a name in bloom.
I'm sorry fo' this rappin'
As it's quite contrite
But I'm almost done so just sit tight
All I gotta do
Is name the next victim[s]
So I'll do that now
With this dictum:
Nicosaurus what???
NightMaiden who???
Write a rap
That's what you got to do.
Peace out.

We still don't have a date for the relaunch. You might recall that an unreleased version of BBM for Android hit the Google Play Store (along with a large number of fakes) and 1.1 million people loaded it onto their phones. At the same time, BBM for iOS was getting pushed out regionally. When the unreleased Android flavored version of BBM screwed things up and prevented a valid launch, BlackBerry wisely took all of its marbles and went home.
Hopefully we won't get a repeat of the problems that made rolling out BBM for iOS and BBM for Android so problematic for BlackBerry. Now that the Android version is in beta, we shouldn't be too far away from another try at a launch.
