Toronto Film Festival Coverage Movie Posters All Reviews Hollywood Reviews Festival Features How ScreenAnarchy Works
THE QUIET FAMLY Review
The first time I saw The Quiet Family, I had just come off a huge Miike jag, so the film had the unfortunate task of living up to its own remake. Compared to The Happiness of the Katakuris, with its animated sequences and over the top musical numbers, Kim Jee-woon's debut film felt almost quaint. Back then, that translated into disappointment. But over a decade later, the director's charming black comedy has escaped the shadow it once cast and can be viewed with a much more objective eye.
The whole thing could be described as the increasingly poor decisions of a typical Korean family. Said family moves to the country and opens up a bed and breakfast, hoping to capitalize on a soon to be built road. Unfortunately for them, their first guest decides to shuffle off this mortal coil and commits suicide by room key. Fearing for their livelihood, the family opt to bury the body instead of alerting the authorities. This sets off a chain reaction of bumbling murders and farcical cover-ups as the family attempts to protect their business and maintain equilibrium.
Despite all the mayhem, this is a far more understated affair than Katakuris. It successfully mixes slapstick, black comedy, and familial drama, yet still manages to keep an even tone. Can it be viewed as a satiric take on conservative Korean family values? Sure, why not, but let's not impose limitations. I think the film's statement on family applies broadly across all cultures, which could account for the films international popularity.
Because when it comes down to it, it is the family that brings this film to life. They are played by a talented ensemble cast, including future stars Choi Min-sik and Song Kang-ho. Kang-ho would go on to star in several of Jee-woon's films, including The Foul King and The Good, The Bad and The Weird, while Min-sik appears in the director's current bloodbath, I Saw The Devil. But the film does not belong to them alone. Holding her own against these heavy weights may be the true star of the film, Na Moon-hee, who plays the Quiet Family's stalwart matriarch. If there is a center to this family, she is it.
There is also a subtle political subtext to the film. It takes place against the backdrop of a botched infiltration of South Korea by North Korean spies. I don't know if this was directly inspired by the 1996 Gangneung submarine incident, but I vaguely remember those events being similar. It just goes to show how the constant threat of the North must be permanently burned into the South Korean psyche.
In the context of Jee-woon's current filmography, The Quiet Family is particularly interesting. The director has gone on to make a series of big budget, technically impressive genre films and it is easy to forget how good he is with the small moments. Will he ever revisit this more intimate style of filmmaking? Probably not anytime soon. He is currently gearing up to shoot his first English language film, one of those new-fangled Liam Neeson actioners called Last Stand.

I'm a huge fan of this film. I think Ji-Woon's first couple of comedies are highly underrated.
I too saw Quiet Family after Happiness of the Katakuris (of which I'm a big fan), but I still loved it. Nice write up, I should revisit this modern classic as well some time.
Katakuris > Quiet Family, imho
Looks like Neeson is out:

Calcutta: The final round of the Asian Under-20 Football Championship starts in November and having made the cut, the Indian team is currently training under Uzbek coach Islam Akhmedov.
The coach is trying to use the experience and confidence gained at the recently-concluded Under-17 Asian meet to go a step forward and make it to the under-21 World Cup. The under-17 team reached the quarter finals in Abu Dhabi before losing to South Korea. The top four from the under-20 event will be selected for next years under-21 World cup.
We were kept wanting in the dead-ball situations and my boys were often overpowered by the tall defenders. Im making my under-20 boys work more on these areas, Akhmedov The Telegraph Monday.
Akhmedov informed that most top teams in Asia are no longer following the 3-5-2 format. The sweeper-back position is going out of favour and the teams are reverting back to the traditional four-back system.
Its difficult to get my boys used to a new system overnight, but Im working on how to counter the 4-5-1 that is being followed by the top teams, Akhmedov said.
However, the coach sounded a little displeased with the decision to add more players to the camp since he was working with a fixed set of 20. Its difficult to chalk out a proper strategy until I get a set team. And its beyond my understanding why more players have been called to the camp, the coach quipped.
He informed the final squad will be picked on Friday.
The coach is pleased to know that the team will get to play some practice matches in Uzbekistan. This tour will be good for us. We may also play some matches with the Bengal Santosh Trophy squad.
Akhmedov, however, hastened to add it will be really tough for India in the final round of the Asian meet in Qatar in November.
We have been clubbed with Japan, Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia. Our first aim will be to beat Bangladesh and then get at least one point from the next two games.
Metsu meets Indians
Meanwhile, the under-17 boys, during their trip to Abu Dhabi, met Senegals World Cup coach Bruno Metsu. He is coaching a Saudi Arabian team and we met him at the hotel, Akhmedov said. We were pleasantly surprised to find that he is such an unassuming man.
My boys were really thrilled when the world famous coach talked to them and took photographs with them. Akhmedov, however, said Metsu didnt have any idea about Indian football.
We could talk for just a little while, but in that short span, the Frenchman showed interest in soccer in this part of the globe. I had so many things to ask, but there was hardly any time, Akhmedov said.

The present invention relates generally to spiral-wound membrane cartridges for fluid separation treatments, and more particularly, to cartridges for use in reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration separation devices for treating a liquid feed and to devices for use in industries, such as the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry, where high purity of product and ease of cleaning are important considerations.
The use of semipermeable membranes for effecting liquid separations has become well accepted, and membranes both for ultrafiltration applications and reverse-osmosis applications are presently in use for a wide spectrum of applications, including water purification, concentration of dilute mixtures or solutions, and waste treatment and/or recovery of recyclable components. A large variety of semipermeable membranes have been developed, and spiral-wound cartridges have been one accepted type of device which has been found valuable for efficiently providing a large amount of membrane surface area within a given spatial volume. While such spiral cartridges utilizing sheetlike membranes have proved satisfactory and have given good performance in many applications, improvements in devices of this type are constantly being sought, as no single separation device has yet proven to provide the best performance in every type of situation, particularly when considering the wide variations in feed materials that are encountered.
In the early 1970's, it was common to install such a spiral-wound cartridge in a separation device using one or a pair of peripheral seals in an attempt to block all flow of the liquid being treated in the annular region exterior of the cartridge and interior of the cylindrical wall of the housing wherein the cartridge was installed, as exemplified by the seal shown in FIG. 7 of U.S. Pat. No. 3,966,616, issued Jun. 29, 1976 to Donald T. Bray. Subsequently it was decided that, for certain applications, it might be worthwhile to permit a controlled bypass flow of liquid through this region. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,301,013 to D. Setti et al. shows the employment of an open-mesh type of netting material which can be of woven or nonwoven character and which can be either stretched over the cartridge like a tight-fitting sock or can be overwrapped in a single or multiple thickness or spirally or helically about the cartridge. U.S. Pat. No. 4,548,714 to Kirwin et al. shows forming such a controlled bypass region by extending a leaf of the porous grid material, through which the feed liquid flows axially through the cartridge, and then wrapping the extended leaf entirely around the cartridge to thus create an outer bypass region that is integral with the cartridge itself. Although such cartridge arrangements allow bypass flow through the annular region between cartridge and the sidewall of the housing, on a mass production basis sometimes problems arose in holding tolerances which made it difficult to install the cartridges in the pressure-tight housings on the site where they would be used and also in maintaining the amount of bypass flow within desired limits. As a result, improvements in the design of such spiral-wound membrane cartridges continued to be sought.
It has been found that improved spiral-wound cartridges for separation treatment of liquids can be provided by installing a seamless, highly porous, substantially rigid, tubular sleeve in surrounding relationship to a spirally-wound separation assembly including a reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration membrane. The sleeve should be of such a construction that it is consistently snugly received within a cylindrical chamber housing and that a closely controlled bypass flow of liquid is assured in the annular region. By sizing the thickness of the sleeve relative to the diameter of the chamber within which the cartridge will operate, an amount of bypass flow within fairly tight tolerances can be assured for a specified operating pressure. The overall arrangement is felt to be particularly valuable for applications where sanitation is of prime importance, including those where extremely high purity is critical, such as in the pharmaceutical industries for example, and those producing food and dairy products where it is necessary to carry out frequent cleaning, as by back-flushing and the like, because this overall design has proved to be relatively easy to clean and sanitize in a manner to meet the standards of local departments of health or the like as well as Federal standards. Moreover, the completed cartridges are self-contained units that are easier to ship and easier to install in the housings where they will be used than cartridges presently employed.

Illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 4 is a cartridge 10 that includes a multilayer wrapping about a central tube 18 which serves as a permeate collection pipe. The side wall of the tube 18 is either made porous or is provided with defined openings 20 so that permeating liquid from the spiral windings can enter the tube therethrough. Although discharge might optionally be allowed to occur through both ends of the tube, preferably one end of the tube is closed, as by plugging the left hand end of the tube in FIG. 1, which then is usually employed as the feed inlet end of the cartridge. Very briefly, the incoming feed mixture will enter the spiral windings at the inlet end, i.e., the left-hand end in FIG. 1, and will flow axially through the spiral windings with the nonpermeating portion of the liquid exiting the opposite right-hand end of the cartridge. A circular spacer 32, such as that shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, may optimally be provided to create a defined outlet plenum.
Generally throughout the description, the term "feed mixture" is used to describe a liquid containing at least one other component, usually a dissolved solid or liquid; however, more than one dissolved or suspended component can be present. Furthermore, in some ultrafiltration separation processes, the feed mixture may carry suspended solids of minute size. During the travel of the feed mixture through the spiral windings of the cartridge axially from end to end, the permeating component, usually the solvent, will pass through the minute pores in a sheetlike membrane 14 while the remainder of the feed mixture continues to flow toward the discharge end, growing continuously more concentrated. The permeating component enters into a permeate carrier material 12 within which it travels spirally inward until reaching the porous central tube 18.
Depicted in FIG. 3 is an illustration of an unwound cartridge 10 showing the central tube 18 and an arrangement of the various sheet material such as to create four composite leaves, within each of which leaves one length of the permeate carrier material 12 is sandwiched between two facing sheets of membrane 14. Although the central tube may extend out one or both ends of the cartridge, in the illustrated embodiment it is shown as being flush with the ends of the windings. Also, to ensure good liquid communication through the perforations 20 into the center of the tube 18, one of the sheets of permeate material 12a, which may be made of Dacron fabric or of rigidized knitted Tricot or the like, is preferably attached to the exterior surface of the tube as is well known in the art, and described in detail in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 3,966,616, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. For example, the lateral edges of the permeate carrier 12 can be adhesively attached to the membrane sheets 14 by suitable bands of strips of adhesive, which adhesive also serves to seal the lateral edges so as to prevent any entry of feed mixture thereinto at either the inlet end or the outlet end thereof, while providing a bond to both associated membranes to create the sandwich.
The sheets of semipermeable membrane material 14 are preferably folded over themselves with the line of fold located at the interior edge near the tube 18 where spot adhesive bonding to the permeate carrier sheet 12a can optionally be effected. For purposes of production, a length of feed carrier material 16 is spatially arranged within the folds of each membrane sheet (see FIG. 3). In the arrangement, one-half of each folded-over membrane 14 either becomes adhesively attached along its three free edges directly to the facing membrane sheet 14 of the next adjacent folded subassembly, or both of these membrane sheets become adhesively attached to opposite surfaces of the length of permeate carrier 12 which they flank. In any event, the permeate carrier length 12 is sandwiched between the facing membrane half sheets and completely enveloped therewithin so that no liquid can enter the edges of the permeate carrier 12, allowing only the entry of permeate passing through the microporous surface of the membranes. These adhesively attached subunits are referred to as composite membrane leaves, and in the illustrated embodiment four of them are created with the four lengths of permeate material 12 serving as the "meat" in the four sandwiches.
Once the spiral winding of the cartridge is complete, it assumes the substantially cylindrical configuration depicted in FIG. 1, and it is then appropriately inserted into a seamless, highly porous, substantially rigid, tubular sleeve 22. As best seen in FIGS. 5 and 5A, the sleeve 22 is formed from a plurality of substantially parallel strands or ribs 24 which extend longitudinally thereof. The ribs are spaced at equal angular increments in a circular array, as best seen in FIG. 7, by means of interconnections with one another at uniformly-longitudinally spaced apart locations by a plurality of circular bands 26, each of which bands is aligned substantially transverse to the axis of the sleeve 22. The strands 24 and the circumferential bands 26 are both preferably formed from the same thermoplastic material, preferably polypropylene or polyethylene, which is of a physical character such that it is nonelastomeric and substantially rigid. The sleeves 22 are seamless in character and therefore substantially completely uniform around the circumference thereof; they can be made by suitable extrusion processes. As best seen in FIG. 7, the circular bands 6 are nonuniform in cross-section along their length so that a spheroidal knurl or knuckle 28 occurs at each intersection between a longitudinal strand 24 and a circular band 26.
It is the precise construction of the sleeve which assures that an amount of bypass flow within desired limits can be achieved at a specified operating pressure for the overall device. Very generally, a bypass equal to between about 2 and about 10 volume percent of the flow entering the cartridge is desired, and preferably the bypass flow is equal to between about 4 and about 6 percent and is generally independent of operating pressure. In order to achieve such an objective, the length of the sleeve should be at least three times its outer diameter and the thickness of the sleeve should be equal to at least about 2% of the radius of the sleeve. Accordingly, the thickness should be equal to at least about 1% of the diameter of the chamber within which the cartridge will be operatively located because, as shown in FIG. 7, there is point contact between each of the knurls 28 and the chamber sidewall. The thickness of the sleeve 22 is considered to be its thickness in the region of the spherical knurls 28. Moreover, the thickness of the strands should be equal to between about 40% and about 100% of the thickness of the circular bands 26 in the regions (see dimension A in FIG. 7) between the knurls. As also seen in FIG. 7, the individual strands are preferably circular in cross-section. The cross-section of the bands 26, in the regions where the dimension A is measured, is also preferably circular; however, they could be oval or elliptical.
The equiangular distances by which strands 24 are spaced apart from one another should be equal to between about one and five times the thickness of each strand, and preferably between about one and about three times the thickness. Taking into consideration the space between the adjacent strands 24, the adjacent circular bands are spaced apart from one another a sufficient distance so that the total open area between is equal to at least about 40% of the area of a right circular cylinder having the length and outer diameter of the sleeve 22. As also depicted in FIG. 7, the diameter of each of the spheroidal knurls 28 is preferably at least about two and one-half times the diameter of the strands.
As also best seen in FIG. 7, the relative lengths of the composite membrane leaves and the sheets of feed carrier material 16 is such that the feed carrier sheets extend past the ends of the adjacent composite membrane leaves and therefore, in the wound cartridge, constitute its outer surface. The semipermeable membrane material 14 can be of any of the well known reverse-osmosis or ultrafiltration membranes that have been developed over the past thirty years. They can be of the asymmetric type, such as the cellulose acetate membranes disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,133,137 and 3,344,214 wherein a thin, active, dense layer is formed at one surface of cast polymeric material by selective evaporation or the like, whereas the remainder of the membrane throughout and extending to the other surface is of a much more porous composition which tends to integrally support the dense active surface layer which exhibits the semipermeable characteristics. Alternatively, the recently developed composite membranes can be employed wherein a dense, active layer is formed of a chemically different material than the nonactive supporting layer, examples of these being shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,259,183 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,265,745. Such composite membranes can be made by any suitable method; however, frequently an interfacial condensation reaction is carried out whereby a thin film is formed by reactants which create a thin, dense, polymeric surface, such as a polyamide having the desired semipermeable characteristics. The porous, less dense, supporting layer adjacent which the interfacial condensation reaction takes place can be of any suitable polymeric material, such as a polysulfone, having the desired pore size to adequately support the ultra-thin, interfacial layer without creating undesirably high pressure drops across it. Suitable ultrafiltration membranes can be made by casting suitably porous membranes from polysulfone or by using other polymeric materials well known in this art, and for purposes of this application, ultrafiltration membranes are considered to be membranes which will not reject soluble salts or organics below about 5000 molecular weight.
Generally, materials that will be used for the construction of these cartridges will be selected by those having the ordinary skill in the art for the particular application in question. The central tube 18 may be of any suitable material compatible with the intended commercial use. For example, high strength plastic materials, such as polyvinylchloride, can be employed. The permeate transfer leaves may be of porous felt or fabric material, as well known in the art, and fabrics sold under the brand name "Tricot", e.g., rigidized knitted fabrics, made of polyester material are frequently used. The permeate carrier layer can also be a coated woven material, such as a Tricot polyester or an epoxy or melamine-coated polyester material. The adhesives used to bond the material can be of the polyurethane type, as well known in this art; epoxy resin formulations having suitable setting times can alternatively be employed, as well as other polymeric adhesives such as those which are polymers or copolymers of vinyl resins.
The feed carrier material 16 is selected to be a material which provides passageways that extend axially from the inlet to the discharge end of the cartridge and which are sufficiently flexible to allow their spiral winding about the interior tube 18. The function of the feed carrier material is to space the facing active surfaces of the panels of semipermeable membrane 14 apart from each other so that the feed mixture which is being pumped through the cartridge, usually at an inlet pressure of at least about 50 psig, can flow in contact with both active surfaces through which permeation occurs. Any suitable, relatively open material can be used that will not cause undesirably high pressure drops over the length of the axial passage therethrough, and preferably synthetic fiber materials are used, such as those made from thermoplastic polymers, including polyethylene and polypropylene. Woven screening material has been frequently used for the feed channels in such spiral-wound cartridges, and more recently, polypropylene netting or screening material, e.g., that sold under the tradename Vexar by Conwed Plastics, has been used in which both sets of parallel filaments are oriented at an angle of about 45� to the axial flow path.
Once the spiral winding of the cartridge assembly is complete, it is ready for insertion into the sleeve 22. Because insertion is carried out at the plant where the cartridges are produced, it is feasible to design an appropriate device for facilitating the mating of it with the sleeve. For example, a shoe might be designed in the form of a split tube into which the spirally wound module could be inserted and then the tube manipulated so that its outer diameter is reduced to just below that of the sleeve 22. After slipping the sleeve over the shoe, the split tube could be withdrawn leaving the spirally wound module snugly within the confines of the outer sleeve 22. Alternatively, the mating of the sleeve and the spirally wound module could be carried out by rotating the spirally wound module in a direction which tightens the spiral wrap and then inserting the module into the end of sleeve 22 while continuing the rotation until the module is fully inserted.
Once the sleeve nd the module are mated to complete the cartridge, the two can be suitably locked together by forming joints therebetween. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, longitudinally extending interconnections 30 are effected between the abutting surfaces of the sleeve 22 and the exterior surface of the feed carrier sheets 16 of the spiral module. Such interconnections can be made via the use of a suitable adhesive. Alternatively when the feed carrier sheets 16 and the sleeve 22 are both made of thermoplastic materials, and preferably of the same thermoplastic resin family, these interconnections 30 are conveniently made by thermobonding using localized heating at the abutting surfaces or by solvent bonding, both of which are well known in the art of achieving interconnections between thermoplastic materials. Once one or more of such longitudinal interconnections 30 has been effected, the cartridge 10 is easily handled as an integral component, and both shipping and installation of such cartridges is improved.
Although the aforementioned interconnections 30 with the sleeve constitute one way of assuring against separation of the sleeve and the spiral-wound membrane module, there remains the possibility that certain operating conditions, e.g., high inlet pressure, can cause telescoping movement of the inner tube 18 or of various of the windings, relative to the sleeve 22, to occur over time. In order to combat such telescoping, an arrangement such as that shown in FIG. 5 may be employed wherein a pair of substantially open spacers 32 are linked to the inlet end and to the outlet end of the spirally wound device to complete the cartridge. Each such spacer 32 should have a substantially open design to present a highly porous arrangement that will serve as a plenum chamber while at the same time confining the spiral windings of the membrane module from telescoping movement in an axial direction. In this respect, the spacers 32 may have a center tubular core 33 of about the same diameter as the center tube 18 of the membrane module which is spaced by a plurality of struts or spoke-like elements 34 from an outer rim 35. The rim 35 may be of generally U-shape in cross-section and can be provided with perforations so as not to hinder liquid flow therethrough. As best seen in FIG. 5, the U-shaped cross-section of the rim 35 allows it to be mechanically interconnected to the opposite ends of the sleeve 22, as by adhesively bonding strand portions of the sleeve which extend past the edge of the spiral-wound assembly to the interior wall of the generally concave rim. If the spacers 32 are molded from thermoplastic material, thermobonding or solvent bonding as discussed above can be used to create these mechanical interconnections. Once two such spacers 32 are installed, the cartridge assembly is complete, and the spiral-wound module is tightly confined by the sleeve 22 and the flanking spacers, again facilitating ease in its shipment and in installation in the ultimate separation device.
As shown in FIG. 6, the membrane cartridge is normally employed in the housing 38 which forms a pressure-resistant chamber for the overall separation device and which in a sanitary operation, such as a food processing or a dairy processing unit, might be made of stainless steel. Commonly, such a device will have an end plate 39 formed with a central discharge outlet 40 for the permeate which will also locate the downstream spacer 32 a predetermined distance from the transverse end wall surface to create a plenum leading to a side outlet 44. The outlet 40 includes a connector portion that protrudes into or suitably interconnects with the discharge end of the central tube 18 to which it will be suitably sealed, as by an O-ring seal or the like, as is well known in the art. The nonpermeating portion of the feed mixture will exit through the side outlet 44 of the housing 38. This outlet tube can carry a suitable restrictor 42, which can optionally be manually variable, or it can include some other type of pressure-regulating device so that a selected back pressure can be maintained, if desired, upon the concentrated, nonpermeating liquid that is being discharged, as a result of which a minimum pressure will consequently be maintained to assure there is adequate driving force throughout all of the spiral-wound cartridge to effect the desired permeation through the membrane. The cartridge is inserted and removed through either the inlet end or the outlet end of the housing which are then closed by removable end plates or caps 46, 39, respectively, as is well known in the art. The inlet end plate 46 includes an inlet opening 48 through which the feed mixture being treated is suitably pumped, as shown by the arrow at the left-hand side of FIG. 6.
Because close tolerances can be maintained by the use of the rigid, substantially noncompressible sleeves 22, a closely controlled bypass flow is created in the peripheral annular region occupied by the sleeve 22 and the adjacent outer short extensions of the feed carrier material 16. The amount of bypass flow is carefully controlled by the resistance to flow provided by the circular bands 26 of the sleeve. As previously mentioned, there is point contact between the spheroidal knurls 28 and the interior wall of the housing 38, and the gaps between these adjacent points of contact regulate the amount of the controlled bypass flow. Thus, it can be seen that control of the construction which results from effectively caging the spiral-wound module within such rigid sleeves not only assures ease of installation of the cartridge in the housing, but assures consistent operating performance because of the controlled bypass flow. Such performance can be extremely important in applications where high purity and frequent cleaning are necessary, and there are also other advantages. In high purity applications, the elimination of seals and wrappings for the cartridges (which of necessity introduce additional materials into the separation device) removes potential contaminants which are not normally associated with the thermoplastic materials from which the sleeves 22 are constructed. Even more importantly when sanitary-type installations are concerned is the ease and thoroughness with which cleaning can be accomplished, and because there are essentially straight flow paths through the annular peripheral regions and because there is preferably a relatively large amount of open space, e.g., at least about 50%, difficult to cleanse nooks and crannies are avoided. As a result, adequate cleaning by flushing or the like using appropriate disinfecting solutions can be carried out in a short period of time to meet health department standards so that downtime for cleaning is minimized.
One example of a spirally wound cartridge 10 embodying features of the invention is a cartridge having an axial length of about 35 inches which is fabricated to be used in a housing having an internal diameter of 3.844 inches. In this cartridge, the central perforated tube 18 has an outer diameter of about 0.84 inches, and five composite leaves of permeate carrier material 12 sandwiched between panels of semipermeable membranes 14 are spirally wound about the tube together with interleaved sheets of Vexar cross-extruded polypropylene netting having a thickness of about 0.03 inch and a radial length of about 38 inches. Each composite leaf has a radial length of about 36 inches, and after spiral winding, the module is installed in an appropriate rigid sleeve 22 having an outer diameter of 3.82 inches. The radius of each spheroidal knuckle is about 1/8 inch, and the sleeve includes about 60 parallel longitudinally extending strands 24 equiangularly spaced about the circumference, each of which is essentially circular in cross-section having a diameter of about 0.06 inch. The circular bands 26 are also circular in cross-section and have diameters in the regions A of about 0.08 inch. Adjacent circular bands are spaced about 1/4 inch apart, and as a result, the open area totals about 43% of the sidewall surface of the sleeve. The sleeve 22 is substantially equal in length to the axial length of the spirally wound membrane elements. Operation of this cartridge at an inlet pressure of about 110 psig and an outlet pressure of about 100 psig to separate an aqueous feed containing about 6.0% of dissolved solids, and having a viscosity about that of water at an operating temperature of 50� C., results in a bypass flow of about 5% of total flow into the cartridge through the annular region. Such a flow is well within desired tolerances as not detracting unduly from the primary flow through the membrane cartridge itself where separation is occurring while at the same time being sufficient to assure that there is no stagnation occurring which could allow undesirable bacteria or other microorganism buildup.
Although the invention has been described in respect of certain preferred embodiments which constitute the best mode presently envisioned by the inventors for carrying out the invention, it should be understood that various changes and modifications as would be obvious to one having the ordinary skill in this art may be made without departing from the scope of the invention which is set forth in the appended claims.

I am getting enroll in a BFA in Acting, I am wondering what is it like? Is it a lot of work? ( I am not afriad) How do they test us in end of a semister? I am very curious... Thanks
Does BFA in Acting has a lot of home work? How is it like?
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
You'll probably have a lot of reading and memorizing. You'll probably have to study different acting styles and write on those. You'll have to be able to perform monologues and have a required amount of involvement in productions. Depending on your school, you may also have to take a tech or design class. You'll take a movement class focusing on movement onstage and you may take dance classes or singing lessons if you want to do musicals as well.00|00|0
How do they test us in the end of each semester?
It might be a written test over terms you've learned and other things out of a book. Especially if you have to take a theatre history class. If it's a specifically acting based class you may have to present a monologue or a short play with a group.

Lyžiarske stredisko Filzmoos - Ski amade
Family ski area Filzmoos
The compact family ski area is characterized by a lot of space on the slopes and thus a lot of security for children and beginners.
On the Michaela Kirchgasser FIS run experts feel at home and like testing their skiing technique. Skiers who like to take it a bit slower can not only look forward to the unique mountain panorama, but also slopes that end directly in the village.
Filzmoos ski area is home to superb ski schools, making it popular especially among more sedate skiers.
A special Filzmoos highlight is the Rossbrand high-altitude cross-country ski run at 1.600 m. You can really feel the magic of winter here. The morning after a snowfall it is often easy to mistake this area for Scandinavian forests and both cross-country skiers and winter hikers find pure pleasure in the unique panorama and delightful location of this high plain.

'Saturday Night Live' with Gabourey Sidibe: SNL's Best Bits
Speakeasy will get to Gabourey Sidibe and how she did as the host of "Saturday Night Live" in a second.
First, a word about Fred Armisen and his Barack Obama impression. That word is bad. Two more words: really bad. Armisen kicked the show off last night-he doesn't look like Obama, doesn't sound like him and most importantly he doesn't have a comedic take on him. Not having a good Obama is a huge wasted opportunity for SNL. Armisen doesn't deserve to serve out his term.
Now a couple words about Sidibe. Pretty funny. "Precious" was a buzz-killing downer, and, although it had moments of humor, it was not the kind of movie where an actress can really show off her comedic chops. But Sidibe did okay on SNL. The main problem is the writers didn't give her anything to do.

By the time the testimony in the trial is complete, it then falls upon the parties to sum up their version or interpretation of what has transpired throughout the trial. Those are the closing arguments. Unfortunately, at this point, the order of things reverses itself and now the Prosecutor gets to go last in state criminal trials. (in federal trials, the government goes first and then gets a chance to rebut anything said by the defendant after the defense lawyer sums up.) I always feel that by letting the prosecutor go last, it gives them the opportunity to leave the last and lasting impression in the juries' minds. That's why I do everything I can to offset it beforehand, which is the subject of this series of articles. To do this, I make sure to point out to the jury that "this is my last opportunity to speak to you" so they know it. I also point out to them that I am not infallible and that I may miss or forget to mention something which they may remember. I point out to them that they have the responsibility to tell all the other jurors what they remember if I miss it. That puts them on my client's side in an insidious manner that nobody ever seems to notice. I then point out throughout my closing what the prosecutor may argue and then I answer those possibilities and take away their power ahead of time. This can be a very powerful technique and works exceptionally well. Anticipate what the DA will say and then mount a defense to it so they have to address it in their closing. That often takes them off their game and they get dragged into whatever you want them to talk about or wherever you want to take them. By doing this, they get pre-empted and often don't know what to do with it except to take the bait and answer whatever you said, which, since its extemporaneous, often doesn't go over very well. Most prosecutors are not great "off the cuff" speakers and would rather know what they're going to say ahead of time. You must gauge each prosecutor to see if you want to risk this or not. All in all, going last has its disadvantages, but if you deal with them correctly, it can turn into an asset for you.

As far as music scene watchers go, the biggest hump recording talents need to get over with quick is the dreaded sophomore jinx. In this day and age where performers are discovered everywhere û from your local shows to the hundreds of music websites scattered across the net û what really sets a singer or a band apart from any other act is momentum.
It was already a little past 3 in the morning. Inside the dimly-lit floorspace that is Wombworks Studio, members of Sponge Cola have called specific spots home for the past 2 months. It was the last day of recording, and they have managed to squeeze some precious shut-eye as their producers, Pat Tirano and Yan Yuzon, run the new album back and forth to themselves, before letting the band have a go at it. After the last track, Keep the Fire Burning ends, the producers nod at each other, and wake the boys up.
2 weeks later, the CD is pressed, shipped, and made available in record bars nationwide. The first track, Puso, has skyrocketed through charts and is still burning. Momentum? Definitely.
Sponge Cola have already proven this 2 years ago. Transit was their follow up to 2004Æs Palabas, and formally initiated the bandÆs transition from being underground favorites to one of the front-runners in the OPM scene today. The albumÆs opening salvo, Bitiw, quickly gained massive airplay in radio and music channels, even hitting the top spot in charts everywhere. The tune gained even more widespread attention when it was used as the theme song for a local TV series. The same success was heard on Tuliro, and again with succeeding singles Movie and Pasubali. With Transit, Sponge Cola reached heights the band has never seen or experienced, culminating in a concert in Dubai in 2007, their first ever outside Philippine shores. Whatever momentum they had going from Palabas, the boys still certainly had upon TransitÆs release.
And now, it seems they're at it again with this new, self-titled record. And the band couldn't be more grateful.
ôThis album was by far the most difficult that we had to do in terms of fatigue, physical stress, and sleep deprivation,ö guitarist Armo shares. Although exhausting, he was quick to stress that it was also ôthe most convenient, comfortable, and easiest to do because we were always by each other inspired to make something good out of itö. To illustrate, the new album boasts of 14 tracks, matching their 2004 debut Palabas, the most they have ever done for a single recording. It may have taken a lot from the band, and they responded by giving exactly what the album demanded from them, and much more. As if to paint this record's feel, Yael sings of perseverance and hope despite the seemingly impossible in Puso, the first song to be written and completed. Consequential triumph all the more sweeter.
With Puso somehow dictating how the entire album would eventually grow, Sponge Cola took liberties into digging deep within themselves to explore the limits of their music. Step Back is the group's first time dealing with varying time signatures, with verses opening on a 10/4 meter, before smoothly sliding to 4/4 chorus. Synths and drumloops can be heard in both All the Time and Meteor Shower, another territory which the band hasn't tread, till now. ôI guess the experimentation came without anyone forcing anything,ö Yael points out. ôWe did, but I wasnÆt aware that I was experimenting, I was just doing my thing. I was really just committed to the idea of coming up with good songs and tried different ways of achieving what I wanted to achieve.ö This, however, doesn't necessarily mean they've completely switched lanes in the direction of their music. The charismatic melodies and superb songwriting fans have grown accustomed to are evident throughout the album's entirety û Puso has already established this, while `Di na Mababawi, Makapiling Ka, and Wala Kang Katulad will reinforce it. Fans of the band since their underground days are also in for a treat, as two cuts from the group's 2002 EP were rerecorded and rearranged û the hard-hitting A Tear and Saturn. As for what other gems the new album has, pick up a copy and be delightfully surprised.
Doubling the band's name for an album title, Sponge Cola explains that they felt no other word could've expressed everything they've accomplished with the production of this record. This was entirely them; who they were then and who they've become now, a reaffirmation of the band and their music. Armo sums it up: ôWe exhausted every other possibility in order to come up with something thatÆs naturally cohesive and straightforward.ö.
Back to that final recording day, after rousing from slumber that until then had become rare, Sponge Cola listens to their material for one last time before it hits shelves. As Keep the Fire Burning puts a definitive dot to all those long nights of production, they too, give each other nods. A new chapter in the Sponge Cola story has unfolded right before them, and the burning momentum that brought them where they are now is slowly gearing up for another massive push forward.

Excellent worker. Certainly knows his trade. Answered any questions I had straight away. Very cheerful man. Clean, very efficient worker who had my comfort and my wife's in mind at all times. I would give him 10/10 and certainly recommend him to anybody.
Simon was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable, and charged exactly the minimum he had quoted us. We were very satisfied - and he likes dogs, too!
