Sort of website so our next segment -- -- pop -- I love this kind of stuff.
It's your turn to go -- in the movies okay you're -- is seeing the same -- single action -- maybe you the way for looking for something a little bit and here.
You like you like James Ringo we all love James Franco.
Look at for a little heat you know -- -- mean.
I think our next guest says -- probably can do the trick for you Stephen Elliot is a writer and he's the director of this movie called about cherry.
But she didn't get to see assert your -- Cisco corrects.
-- enemies and suddenly -- now my pleasure so before you go into the film about cherry.
I just don't like like a lead up here so about cherry was -- -- -- that I guess from our all of was shot in.
San Francisco's armory home of -- dot com now explain what exactly can dot com is.
That's right actually the whole movie was shot and -- that compound about 70%.
Of every shot.
Think that -- is Internet porn company that is based out of the San Francisco armory which is in fact the largest porn studio in the world.
And I was so that's why I watch that movie there.
And as I read my producer notes I don't think I stumble upon it says.
You actually -- something you've written several books -- a matter of fact.
One of them that you -- memoir the -- all diaries and -- diaries was called genius by Vanity Fair so you are a legit guy.
But it also says Steven Elliott and I believe we -- talking about the Stephen -- that we have on our show.
The director of about -- is a former sex workers so you have.
You know -- this of this World Cup foreign and this is kind of what but about series about.
Well you know if that's that's the setting.
That's the setting for the story and it's true that that the world but I know you know I was -- I was -- worker myself and I'm part of effect -- community and they don't ever really leave the community even after you've.
Staff doing sex work so.
It's definitely a world that I understand the story itself you know could be seen more of that coming of age story.
So you basically what it's about as an eighteen year -- is on the verge of finishing high school.
Do like.
And unfortunately some of these young girls are doing these days.
You know with the sex -- they're taking pictures of themselves and their -- to their boyfriends and this kind of it's out of control she leaves and what happens she goes off.
With a friend of hers who is -- actually played.
By -- up to tell cracked.
That's right that's because I'm not millionaire millionaire here and they.
They go to San Francisco and they get jobs and he ends up cocktail -- -- -- strip club and that kind of leads to her.
Going in to try out to -- -- -- fellow.
And then that leads to a girl girl par and that leads to guy go -- -- better and you know she deals with.
The -- associated with that would people from that art and that world like her boyfriend played by James Franco.
In the male lead.
You know who are not particularly happy you know what she's doing in you know and especially the idea of doing a guy girl porn which is always.
Breaking point as -- breaking point four relationship.
So -- -- you do have some really powerful actors here how did you get them on board because again this is a pretty that's an edgy subjects.
Is there any subject but you know act act I've never met an actor that wasn't an artist I mean actors or real artists and if you can get them a script and they like the script then they're gonna do it it doesn't matter what you're paying them.
You know they'll -- -- -- that this this with a half million dollar movie so everybody made nobody made very much money on this movie.
But they had to know the actors like if they're paying you.
James Franco are ready with that he would option in my book he had -- iron right and I've written a script for him -- -- heavily in the scripting and he commit to being in the movie and then.
And -- that -- the script the people on when the actors connected with it that was all there was to -- really.
James Franco by the way really really intelligent guy and a great actors and so kudos on not only an amazing -- -- he really anything you know he's just hasn't.
Generational he's so different and I can actually and that was great casting on your part I think -- Let's not look senator -- to a clip of about -- check it out.
-- should have been over thanks.
Do you come here looking for trust me.
Don't worry about it.
The first -- crack heads -- me the news.
We'll do.
-- -- Just that we see there is that actually in -- That is actually in for she initially she looks just so incidents have to send -- so fragile pop up there.
He is -- you know really healthy hundred accusing him.
It did help that we -- -- an actual porn facilities so.
You get used defending really quick also you -- -- James didn't drink her -- like six times and make six takes so that was actual.
Was there any sort of flirtation between the two of them and even a I can see doing that if you have a relationship with.
Not that I think I'll leave their actors you know in there and there embodying their rolled right and they're going for -- so.
And out because he's -- her and trying to win her over there is of course a flirtation.
Of course between two beautiful people.

Reload the page and try again.
B A+F Academics: I am currently a History major (secondary education minor) and I really enjoy the history department and the courses that I am able to take. Almost every single one of the teachers that I've had made the class enjoyable and interesting. The workload isn't that bad, mostly essays and the occasional test. Overall the History program is awesome.
C A+F Academics: The academics at Arcadia University are overall average for a college. There are some departments in which there are a few problems, not enough staff (or the staff that they have aren't the greatest), not having/giving out information to the students, and a few others. In the opposite direction there are some really great professors that care about how their students are doing and will give them the help and support that they need. The registration process is okay, when I first arrived at Arcadia I wasn't registered for classes but they were able to help me sort everything out, the process is a little unfair for anyone who isn't a senior or an honor student. The honor students are allowed to register before everyone else which isn't fair if they are freshman and the sophomores and juniors aren't allowed to register until after them. The workload is fair, although in some cases it might seem outrageous to the amount of classes some majors and minors have. Arcadia is said to be the number 1 study abroad school and they really push their students so spend at least one semester abroad. They also have a program for freshman and transfers called Preview in which they are allowed to take a class and visit a country during their spring break, it's a lot of fun and a cheap way to study abroad/travel.
B+ A+F Academics: The professors are EXCELLENT; however, the workload and depth of coursework is not as large/deep/hard as it is at some other schools. I attended Drexel University for 1 year prior to Arcadia and it almost seems like a "vacation" with some of the coursework at Arcadia. I almost wish it were harder/more were expected so I may have to force myself to dig deeper.That being said - I learned SO much and feel that I received a wonderful education. The type of courses offered fit my schedule and my education goals/objectives.
A+ A+F Academics: The staff/faculty in the Mathematics department are SO talented and knowledgeable. In addition, they are there for their students 100% and offer in school support as well as support after you graduate in assistance finding employment.
B A+F Academics: The Academics would be better if there were more availability

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Stacey Wisniewski
The teachers are great and very helpful. The workload is not extremely heavy and varies depending on the topic of the class. Most teachers give schoolwork every class, but nothing that cannot be done in the given time. The best thing about classes at Arcadia is the small size. Most classes have 20 to 30 people, so there is a lot of attention paid to each student and plenty of opportunities to work closely with teachers.
Teachers are good about making themselves available during office hours and after classes. Take advantage of the small class sizes, as it is much easier to learn and question when there are only a few other people in a class. Teachers at Arcadia are very helpful and will work with you as long as you talk to them and make a visible effort to succeed.

About a hundred feet up the hill from the start of Long John Wall, the West Ridge Trail passes by a dark, left-leaning dihedral partially obscured by a pine tree. Look for a pin about 15 feet up and a heavily chalked, horizontal rail higher on the right wall. Chick on the Side takes this steep dihedral via liebacks and stems. Pro is good when you need it, and unlike many harder Eldo corners you can both protect and climb without facing the dilemma of choice. Unfortunately the fun ends all too soon as the dihedral spits you out onto a ledge after only a few interesting moves. A fun diversion while it lasts, but not as satisfying as the real thing.
Small Aliens or nuts for the business, big nuts and/or medium cams for the belay. There is one pin in the dihedral. This is a short pitch with scant but sufficient opportunities for pro.
I did this climb a few years ago and remember it as being awkward and hard 5.10 (but short). One star is about right.
The first few moves are crimpy, sharp, and powerful, as well as awkward. The taller you are the better. I thought that the route was fun, but quite hard at it's grade. Once the opening sequence is done, the rest of the route is much easier, so a long or dangerous fall seems unlikely.
I also thought this was hard. Power trumps height. I'm 6' 3". I had the reach but not the power to hold myself in while reaching. I had to lunge for the bucket after trying various possibilities. There is plenty of pro above, but it's strenuous hanging out. You can stem out right with your hip in the corner, but it's stressful. You can escape right around the arete at the big bucket (as I did) for a rest, and you can escape again higher up (as I did).
Probably easier if you're shorter like me. Great drop-knee stem stances for contemplating life and pro.
Bouldery start, as I fell onto my belayer before grabbing the jug. I suppose the taller the better. Fun dihedral!
I tried to figure out a way to statically reach the jug below the pin right at the start and couldn't figure out a way to do it other than to dyno. Apart from the battle with the tree I liked it better to climb out the dihedral the whole way instead of escaping right. Very deceptive as it certainly did not look to me like the opening sequence would be the crux. I really enjoyed this route. If linked with Handcracker would it be the longest continuous climb on the W. Ridge?
I managed to do the opening moves to the first jug statically, but it was awkward and I had to stem out left and under the overlap. I agree with the sharp and crimpy hold business, but I think 10b is a fair grade. This isn't Boulder Canyon. The tree needs to be trimmed at the top! Protection is good and the moves are interesting.
I just want to log a counter point to the earier comment. I agree that the tree is a bit intrusive, but it's important to remember (especially as more and more people are climbing here) that we are all just visitors in the canyon and have a responsibility to its preservation. And even if we wanted to, we can't just create 'improvements' in a state park on a whim. My point: Just climb around it. We climbers create enough unintentional impact as it is without "trimming" trees because they poke our little behinds once or twice. Great route, by the way! Having double Aliens (green-red) made it very civilized.
Had another fling with this one today, then continued with Variation to Mail Ridge (Going Postal?) and finished on the exquisite Handcracker Direct. Levin calls it the Mail Ridge Tower Link-up or something. Really fun!

What room in your home would be nicer with fresher, cleaner air, thanks to this Filterless UV Air Purifier? It has a small footprint, but cleans up to 1,000 square feet in just minutes – without complicated settings or filters to change and clean! Every three years you'll change the AHPCO cell, but that's all you need to do. It's virtually maintenance free. Effectively reduces carbon-based contaminants as it beautifully sits on a shelf or countertop. The built-in technology reduces contaminants more effectively than a HEPA system. Plugs into an AC outlet, and then gets right to work reducing molds, bacteria and odors.
Item # 201576
AHPCO (advanced hydration photo-catalytic oxidation) is technology developed by NASA, and does a great job reducing carbon-based contaminants, providing fresh, clean smelling air in only minutes. Some of the more familiar carbon-based contaminants include mold, bacteria, viruses, odors and volatile organic compounds. It has 1/8" thick brushed metal housing that's not a faux finish. Set it on a countertop or on a dresser…works great, and you don't have to work changing messy filters.
• Countertop air purifier cleans the air in open rooms up to 1000 square feet
• Perfect for large bedrooms, living rooms, offices, etc.
• Uses the AHPCO (advanced hydration photo-catalytic oxidation) technology developed by NASA
• Simple to operate. No complicated multiple settings to learn, no routine maintenance to perform
• No filters to change or clean
• Whisper quiet
• Made in the USA
• Eliminates odors from smoke, pets, cleaning chemicals, mold and more
• Quickly reduces contaminants" odor causing VOCs, smoke, mold, bacteria, viruses and other allergens
• Energy efficient, uses less energy than a 45-watt bulb
• Breakthrough technology, originally developed by NASA, does not rely on filters and is virtually maintenance free. In fact, in many circumstances our AHPCO technology reduces contaminants more efficiently than a HEPA filter without the high cost of replacing filters on a regular basis
• Since air is not being forced through thick filters, large fans requiring high amounts of electricity are not needed. This creates an extremely energy efficient air purifier able to operate on a fraction of the electricity required by most air purifiers
• Plugs into an AC outlet
• The device turns on with the flip of a single switch and there are no filters to change or clean

The Ontario Native Plant Reserve
The Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport held a public meeting on Wednesday, December 4th at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre about the future of a 7.5 acre waterfront parking lot at Ontario Place. They would like to develop this site into a park in time for the 2015 Pan/Parapan American Games.
NANPS founder and Honorary President, Jim French, feels that this site would be a great location for an Ontario Native Plant Reserve. Not only would the park feature and display Ontario's native flora but it would also provide habitat for Ontario's birds, bees and butterflies. All this, and in the heart of the city!
You can learn more details about this plan here: www.ontarioplace.to/ and you can download the brochure from www.ontarioplace.to/Documents/OntarioNativePlantReserveBrochure.pdf .

But what sort of native tree should you plant? Growing a tree is a long-term project, so you need to choose carefully. In particular, you do not want to plant a tree which will grow too big for the site.

Timothy P. Daniels
Timothy P. Daniels, associate professor of anthropology at Hofstra, knew as a teenager that he wanted to become an anthropologist. Growing up in Buffalo, New York, he was introduced to anthropology as a high school student. Today, Professor Daniels' research focuses on Islam, politics, economics, religious discourse, performance and popular culture in Southeast Asia.
He earned a B.A. in anthropology at the State University of New York at Buffalo, and M.A. and Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He has conducted research as a Fulbright scholar and Wenner-Gren fellow in Malaysia and Indonesia. He is the author of Building Cultural Nationalism in Malaysia: Identity, Representation, and Citizenship (Routledge, 2005), and Islamic Spectrum in Java (Ashgate Ltd., 2009), which won the Lawrence A. Stessin Prize for Outstanding Scholarly Publication at Hofstra University. Dr. Daniels is also the author of several journal articles on cultural festivals, urban space, and cultural politics.Dr. Daniels joined the Hofstra faculty in fall 2005. Academia, he says, allows him to share his original research and field experiences with his students, hoping to ignite their interests in anthropology.
When not traveling back and forth to Southeast Asia, Dr. Daniels spends much of his free time playing chess. He earned the title Life Master from the United States Chess Federation in 1991 and remains an avid player of this "mental sport."

This poem is about my friend who is having a hard time...
A teenage girl about 17 named Diane had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year. She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home alone. She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only a few blocks away. As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked God to keep her safe from harm and danger. When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house, she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy and began to pray, asking for God's protection. Instantly a comforting feeling of quietness and security wrapped round her, she felt as though someone was walking with her. When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the man and arrived home safely.
The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been there. Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the alley the night before. When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately broke down and confessed. The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was anything they could do for her. She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was curious as to why he had not attacked her.
When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't alone. She had two tall men walking on either side of her."
Amazingly, whether you believe or not, you're never alone. Did you know that 98 of teenagers will not stand up for God, and 93 of the people that read this won't repost it? Repost this if you truly believe in God. PS: God is always there in your heart and loves you no matter what, and if you stand up 4 him he will stand up for you. (a.k.a: He's watching you as you read this and seeing if you'll respect it!)
Dear Bullies, That boy you punched in the hall today; committed suicide a few minutes ago. That girl you called a slut in class today; she's a virgin. That boy you called lame; has to work every night to support his family. That girl you pushed down the other day; is already being abused at home. You think you know them. Guess what, you don't. Copy and Paste this to your profile if you are against the mean bullying. I bet 99% of you wont!!
Hey, my name is Angelina, I've been a member on Booksie for a while now... um... yeah, it's going great(: I'm changing up my profile bio a bit since the one I had before is like old. Anyway... um... I'm a poet, as you may already know because I mostly have poems up in my portfolio, I'm starting to write novels and short stories and all that other good stuff now because I've had a ton of great story ideas on my mind since... well forever (; If you guys want and I'm always available to do this... but if you want I can write down a story from whatever title you can come up with all you have to do is e-mail me: firstname.lastname@example.com
I've been through a tough time recently but that's a good thing because it gives me more lines to do some poetry!!! I'm a huge, huge, HUGE fan of The Vampire Diaries and now The Originals!,TEAM DAMON SALVATORE! TEAM NICKLAUS MICHAELSON! I LOVE the bands: Paramore, Hinder, Seether, Rascal Flatts, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, 3 Doors Down, Saving Abel, 30 Seconds To Mars, Skillet (Christian Rock band), Linkin Park, Within Temptation, Plumb, and Theory of a Deadman. People tell me that I'm an amazing writer, but that's not all I want to hear, I want to hear things like, "you'll go far with these poems of yours." or "don't underestimate the skills you have, use them for writing and writing only, nothing useless." but I guess I'll just have to wait to hear those words from someone.
I'm just a member to share my poems and story ideas and answer questions related to poetry or stories, I'm NOT sharing my phone number or any other personal information, what-so-ever.
Anyway, I'm just probably another person to all of you but, it would be nice if you could read some of my poems and maybe even comment about what you think of them.
Thank you guys so much!
Always keep your head up and never back down from something you really want to have in life! <3 (:

Presented to: Todd Robert Petersen
For: Rift
From the moment the novel begins, you know you're where a good reader should be. Each sentence is artfully crafted—almost perfect. The language cajoles and entreats you to keep reading. In fact, it's so beautiful you can't stop. Each event, each conflict, each revelation of character speaks to the soul. And then the themes begin to coalesce. Grudges tear small communities and wards to pieces. Anger always seethes just beneath the surface of civility. Resolution seems impossible. This rift should make Sanpete about the last place you want to stay. But Petersen, with a great sense of humor, won't let it happen. Instead, we come to respect the characters. As they find ways to heal wounds and repair damaged relationships, we find ourselves opening up to uncover the largeness of soul that seeks community rather than isolation. We discover that what we have in common, what "can't be added to the batter but was brought with [us] from heaven," can and ought to bind us together. Good novels make good people. The Association for Mormon Letters is pleased to present the 2009 award in the novel to Todd Robert Petersen for Rift, published by Chris Bigelow's wonderful Zarahemla Books.

Surely such a deep well of information here for you in education, and state and allows families to invest a certain amount of money to improve the level of school that students will pay once they arrive on campus. While many families choose this option find they will pay once and save a lot of money later on, to limit students to a particular school, and, quite frankly, just cover the tuition fees. While you may get a great rate on tuition, room and board and books are still going to grow with inflation. While some of the benefits of being transported to schools that do not participate in the plan of your choice is very limited in the types of investment options. And bonds are types of savings bonds issued by the federal government offers special tax benefits for college savers. If the bonds used to pay qualified education expenses and you meet the income limits, income from bonds is exempt from federal income taxes. Profit from the bonds that are always freed from state and local taxes. You have great flexibility here because unlike other plans this bond should not be appointed to certain beneficiaries and the best. » Read more: High Cost of a College Education

inGreat video, but times are different now as everything we have known is turned upside down. But thank you for the delightful Shirley Temple.
Happy Hannukah, MJ & David. EVERYONE who believes in Yahweh should celebrate with the Jews — HANNUKAH.
Hanukkah reminds us that with Yahweh's help, victory over evil is assured and no miracle is impossible. Modern Israel and the survival of the Jewish people against all odds are proof of that.
To dwell on this aspect alone springs hope and happiness.

Selecting an immigration lawyer to get your application for a visa to Australia is not that easy. It requires a bit of research, and confidence that the work will be done by a confident person who knows the job. it also will depend on how much money you will spend on a particular work. Combination of all these will influence the outcome of your application for a visa to Australia.
The Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority (OMARA) provides registration to lawyers and practitioners who offer immigration assistance and representation to people. It is a criminal offence in Australia to give immigration assistance and representation without being registered with the OMARA. Those who are registered with the OMARA are called registered Migration Agents.
All Migration Agents must keep a professional library, indemnity insurance and be up to date with latest immigration laws. Migration Agents in Australia also have a unique registration number.
The criteria for registration with the OMARA is very strict and requires a lot of educational and ethical qualifications. Therefore the standard of the migration agents in Australia is very high and these group of people represents some of the most disciplined professionals in the world.
As I said above, selecting a migration agent is crucial to a person's future dream in Australia. People always ask, who is the best migration agent in Australia. Who can do the work with the best capabilities and who can charge a reasonable amount of money.
It is not very cheap to hire the best migration agents in Sydney. OMARA website has a list of price ranges for individual services.
To begin with, Immigration and Citizenship Australia is one of the best immigration law firms in Sydney. The principal solicitor Mr. Christopher Levingston has got it all. He is an accredited specialist in immigration law, has been in the industry for over 26 years and not just that, he is also the biggest name in the profession.
As the best immigration lawyer in Australia, Mr. Christopher not just wins most of his cases, but also charges a reasonable fee for his qualification. At the end, it is not just the money one pays to a registered migration agent, the service needs to be super good and be protected by the quality of knowledge and reputation of that lawyer.
No one in Australia does the job better than Immigration and Citizenship Australia. Although the costs of their services are high, the superb quality of their services simply wins an applicant.

A Manatee County Sheriff's Office deputy has been taken to the hospital after a vehicle ran a red light and struck her patrol car.
Dep. Josetta Coleman was traveling southbound on Lakewood Ranch Boulevard when she entered the intersection at State Road 70 on a green light, traveling about 15 mph.
Chad Lowe, 42, was driving eastbound on S.R. 70 at about 60 mph when he entered the intersection on a red light.
Coleman saw Lowe coming and tried to stop, but Lowe struck the push bumper on Coleman's vehicle, damaging the front end of her patrol car.
The impact pushed Coleman's vehicle back from the intersection and sent Lowe's vehicle into a spin. His car came to rest facing westbound in the westbound lane of travel at the eastern edge of the intersection.
Lowe was uninjured and had about $500 of damage to his vehicle, which he drove from the scene.
Coleman sustained multiple injuries and was transported to Lakewood Ranch Medical Center. Her vehicle sustained about $3,000 in damage and was towed from the scene.
Lowe was found at fault and issued multiple citations.

Emergency response

STAR WITH FLARE: Artist's conception of the December 2004 gamma-ray flare, the brightest burst ever seen, expanding from SGR 1806-20.

It was the brightest cosmic explosion ever observed, and astronomers are still hotly debating its origin and implications. But already the giant flare of December 27, 2004, produced by a bizarre star in our own Milky Way galaxy, is providing a partial solution to a 10-year-old astrophysical mystery. Such "magnetar" flares in distant galaxies may account for at least some of a particular class of gamma-ray burst that has defied explanation.
Despite its distance of 50,000 light-years, the December flare was brighter than the full moon. Yet no one actually saw it, because it belched out almost all its stupendous power in the form of energetic gamma rays, completely saturating the sensitive Burst Alert Telescope on NASA's Swift satellite, which had been launched into orbit just five weeks earlier. "It was an astonishing event," recalls gamma-ray-burst researcher Ralph Wijers of the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
After learning of the giant flare, Swift scientist David Palmer of Los Alamos National Laboratory immediately had a hunch. If a similar magnetar flare occurred in a distant galaxy, he reasoned, it would be indistinguishable from a so-called short gamma-ray burst, with a duration less than two seconds or so. These short bursts are quite different from their longer cousins, which last from a few seconds to many minutes. Astronomers believe that long gamma-ray bursts, all detected in remote galaxies so far, signal the catastrophic and terminal detonation of supermassive, rapidly spinning stars. This proposed mechanism probably does not apply to short gamma-ray bursts, however.
Palmer developed his idea and found that the magnetar flares offer at least a partial explanation. In an analysis to be published in Nature, he and his colleagues conclude that at least a few percent of all short bursts are quite likely to be explained in this way. Based on the observed luminosity and expected frequency of giant magnetar flares, a few dozen of these events per year would occur in other, relatively nearby galaxies. This amount is not enough to explain all short gamma-ray bursts, but, Palmer says, "5 percent is a good approximation." He quips that this number "is probably not off by more than a factor of 20, which is actually pretty good in this business."
As for the cause of the other short gamma-ray bursts, Chryssa Kouveliotou of the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center says that the leading explanation is the violent merger of two neutron stars orbiting each other. But Palmer notes: "With the December 27 event, we now know that neutron-star mergers are not responsible for all short gamma-ray bursts. Whether they are responsible for any of them is still an open question." Wijers agrees that it remains unclear whether a neutron-star merger can produce this type of gamma-ray burst.
The answer may come soon, though. Astronomers expect that the Swift satellite, which became fully operational in early April, will accurately pinpoint sky positions and distances for a number of short bursts, enabling scientists to finally get a grip on these enigmatic phenomena. Palmer, for one, is optimistic: "The next gamma-ray burst we see could bring enlightenment."

Anyone know how to do this? I can't seem to find any info on the web about reefers doing this with their home pumps. I'm trying to figure out whether to use the snapper changeover on my reeflo pump and throttle it back or use the dart and let it run more wide open...
not sure but i have 2 darts running wide open on my current build so i will be interested to find out. honestly i dont understand the concept that throttling the pump back will make it use less watts. seems like if you throttle it back its putting more resistance on the motor which would increase the amount of current drawn. i mean you use more gas going up a mountain right? can someone elaborate for me ?
Your analogy is flawed. Pumping water is much better related to hydraulics than gas motors. The impeller does not change speed or slow down to back pressure. By making the aperture (throttle back) smaller but keeping normal pipe size you are lowering the head pressure. That's the best I can describe it since I am not a engineer. We have a few of those mathematicians on here that can prolly get all fancy speak if they see this.
Pete could answer this one, I'd bet. Gotta get him over here on R.A. He just did a really nice plumbing presentation at our meeting last Wednesday. Here's the slides he shared with us: http://www.dfwmas.org/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=102856
I typed out an appropriate answer to your question, but the site logged me out and I lost most of the reply, so I'll answer much more simply and hopefully not loose a lot more time. The simple answer is generally speaking (like I said I had a longer reply that explained the theory but I'm not retyping all of it at 12 am) (and some pump guru may tell me why this is an oversimplification but like I said, I'm not retyping the longer answer now) generally speaking a pump that has to be restricted to pump a specific flow at the dynamic head of the system (dynamic head is based on the plumbing parts in the system, total dynamic head is the dynamic head added to the actual head or height from the pump outlet to the highest point in the system) (if the outlet is significantly below the highest point it is possible to create a siphon which complicates the calculations) will have a higher energy usage than a pump that is chosen to specifically pump the desired flow at the system total dynamic head. This is a generalization and many things come into play, efficiency of the impeller, efficiency of the motor, etc etc, but generally the pump that can produce more flow at the same head will have a larger motor and more electric draw...generally. If you have to restrict it, you will use more energy. Some pumps can be adjusted electrically to spin slower, but if you spin an impeller that is most efficient when spun fast at a slower speed it won't be as efficient. If you want specific calculations for your system to see which one is better, I'll need to know all the specifics of your plumbing between the pump outlet and the outfall of the plumbing system including the length and type of all pipe segments and the type and size of all fittings (valves, bends, unions, etc). This is assuming I can find efficiency curves for the snapper/dart combo pump. I'm pretty sure at one point in the past when I was considering that pump I found a pump curve, but I don't know about an efficiency curve. Blakew
Okay, looked at ReeFlo website and I think you've got things backwards. The dart "wide open" would flow lots more volume than the snapper wide open, so you would want to restrict the snapper. Assuming you meant you wanted to compare the dart if it was restricted to the snapper wide open, then there's no comparison. The snapper uses less energy through out the entire range than the dart. Only reason I see to put the dart impeller on is if you aren't getting as much flow as you want with the snapper, but then you're going to use more energy. Blakew
Just reread my first post and it didn't make sense to me so I'll try again. In the snapper/dart hybrid you have one electric motor that can use two different impellers. With the snapper impeller you can push between 300 and 2600 gph with a total dynamic head (tdh) of between 0 and 11-feet. With the dart impeller you can push between 750 and 4300 gph with a tdh of between 0 and 12-feet. Total dynamic head is the combination of the actual pressure created by the height of the fluid column over the pump and the pressure created by the friction of the fluid moving through the plumbing system between the pump and the outlet. What this means is that if you plug the pump in with no plumbing attached, the inlet submerged and the outlet exposed to air the pump would push out 2600 gph but the column of water would just barely clear the outlet. If on the other hand you attached a single stick of 6 or 8-inch pvc pipe to the pump (the friction losses would be very small in that size pipe and all you'd be pushing against is the pressure of the column of water in the pipe) the pump would push about 300 gph at 11-foot of height. Since most systems aren't a straight piece of pipe and have bends, unions etc inline, the maximum amount of fluid (saltwater in this case) the pump can push is limited by the height it's pushing water and the amount of friction losses in the pipe and fittings. When you add any restriction (bend, wye, union, tee, or valve) you increase the friction in the system (dynamic head) and reduce the flow. With the dart impeller you definitely would need to install a ball valve and partially close the ball valve, increasing friction (increased dynamic head) and reducing flow to reduce the dart flow to similar flows that the snapper can achieve. With the dart impeller the pump draws more power through out it's operating range than the pump with the snapper impeller, so you'd use more energy to restrict the dart down to snapper type flows. http://www.reeflopumps.com/images/60...PER-Hybrid.jpg Blakew
Blakew you are missing what people are referring to, It clearly say that the pumps can be valved back and it will not only reduce flow, but lower watt usage.
No, I don't think I missed something. By partially closing a valve in a system, all that's being accomplished to create more resistance (more friction losses or total dynamic head) in the system. The higher tdh moves the pump to a different point on the pump curve. You aren't changing the characteristics of the pump curve. You'd have to use a different impeller or a different motor (or a variable speed motor) to change the pump curve. Let's use ReeFlo's pump charts (which are pulled from an actual pump curve by the way and printed in chart form for ease of understanding) to see how ReeFlo's statement and my statement are both true and backed up by their own documentation. If you look at the chart I posted, ReeFlo says at 4-foot of head the pump with the Snapper impeller uses 105 watts. That same configuration uses 100 watts with 7-foot of head. In ReeFlo speak, by valving the pump back, or in engineering speak, by creating more total dynamic head, the pump uses 5 less watts. Note, it does not say valving back the pump will give you a different pump curve. So even if you increase the head when using the Dart impeller you still stay on the Dart's pump curve and at the Dart's lowest wattage usage you would still be using 137 watts. Much more than the Snapper's 105 max wattage usage. Blakew PS After looking at the Snapper/Dart's pump chart, I admit my generalization in my first reply last night was incorrect for the Snapper/Dart hybrid pump. According to ReeFlo's documentation the pump uses less energy at the edges of the pump curve. Must be something in the design of the impellers. Pretty much every pump I spec for sewage systems are more efficient in the center of the curve. ::shrugs::
Blake, this is what I am referring to which does not mention changing head or any other dynamic of your plumbing, it is only changing the aperture of the outlet of the pump. "All of our pumps can be "valved back" as long as its done on the discharge line. It will not only reduce the flow, it will lower the watt usage and extend the life of the motor and seal!" So according to this statement the, you can alter the efficiency of the pump "for the good or the bad" by valving it back. Good or bad because there is a point at which the ratio of flow and watt reduction will cause lowered flow without lowering wattage.
I can read that...you're misunderstanding the statement, and you misunderstand how pumps work. As I said "Valved Back" simple adds head to the system. I don't care that it doesn't say that, that is what it does. The chart I posted shows that indeed at a higher head the pump uses less wattage, but it doesn't change the pump curve and somehow get the Dart to use less than 138 watts period. You absolutely are not changing the efficiency of the pump, you absolutely are moving the pump to a different point on the pump curve PERIOD! You don't understand what you think you understand about how pumps work. "Changing the aperture of the outlet of the pump" will increase head, plain and simple. You can't separate the variables, they are all tied together. Head determines flow and the motor/impeller design determines the wattage used to produce a specific flow against a specific amount of head. Let's try this a different way. Let's say there is a system where the total dynamic head of the system is 7-feet. If you use the pump with the Snapper impeller at 7-foot of head the pump would produce 1500 gph flow and use 100 watts of power. If you "Valve back" the pump to say 9-feet of head, the pump would only use 95 watts but you'd only be gettting 900 gph flow. So to save 5% on the electric usage you've reduced the flow by 40%. 40% reducing in flow for 5% savings in electricity is not more efficient. So using the same pump on the same system but changing the impeller to the Dart impeller, at 7-foot of head the pump would produce approximately 2700 gph using 174 watts. If you "valve back" this pump to say 9-feet of head, the pump would use 168 watts but you'd only be getting 2100 gph. If you "valve back" the Dart version all the way to 1500 gph to match the pump with the Snapper impeller at 7-feet of head, you'd still use 155 +/- watts of energy. 155 watts is using less than 174 watts as per Reeflo's claim, but it is still significantly more than the Snapper's 100 watts to produce the same flow. Blakew
Maybe what's being misunderstood is what "valved back" means. What they're referring to is closing a valve by a certain amount. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/mi...pes-d_626.html From the engineering tool box website...the "minor loss coefficients" for a gate valve are as follows: fully open - 0.15, 1/4 closed - 0.26, 1/2 closed - 2.1, 3/4 closed - 17. To determine the head loss (or increase in total dynamic head) by partially closing the valve, you multiply those coefficients by the flow (to use this formula the flow has to be converted from gph to ft/sec). The point is, as these coefficients show, as the valve is closed the friction head loss increases significantly adding to the total dynamic head of the system. This addition of total dynamic head reduces the available flow and in the Snapper/Dart hybrid pump it also reduces the amount of electricity used. However, the reduction in flow is much larger than the reduction in electric usage and is therefore less efficient. Blakew
Blake, obviously you are passionate about this and you are in fact missing the point. I am not an engineer and neither was that statement from Reeflo intended to be too an engineer. What that statement is meant for is to tell a reefer that by valving back the pump you are not going to increase heat or watts used. Regardless of pumping water to the toilet or the top of the empire state building. The efficiency is not referring to the amount of water moved, it is referring to the amount of electricity being used while the pump is plugged into power. So if you valve back this pump, it is going to use less electricity, end point. The pump people are not saying that the pump will be more efficient in moving water form one place to another, they are saying that valving back the pump uses less electricity. I hope this is more understandable. I wan't trying to piss you off, I was trying to define the simple statement on the instructions of the pump.
Micheal, what I'm passionate about is being told I'm wrong by someone when all I'm trying to do is share useful knowledge with fellow reefers. I am an engineer and I am not missing the point. The original poster asked ... I'm trying to figure out whether to use the snapper changeover on my reeflo pump and throttle it back or use the dart and let it run more wide open... My reply was that at no point will the Dart ever use less energy than the Snapper. You've tried multiple times to tell me I'm wrong and I've tried multiple times to explain why I'm not wrong. So if you valve back this pump, it is going to use less electricity, end point. The pump people are not saying that the pump will be more efficient in moving water form one place to another, they are saying that valving back the pump uses less electricity. I completely agree and even provided an example that show how much less power the pump would use based on a real world example and the data in their published pump table. However, as stated many times in my replies, at no point of valving back the Dart pump will you get less than 138 wattage of electric draw, which is 33 watts more than the highest wattage draw on the Snapper. I was trying to define the simple statement on the instructions of the pump. I know you think that's what you're doing, but all you're actually doing is providing misinformation. And as I said before, you don't understand what you think you understand. In one of your previous post you made the following statement: does not mention changing head or any other dynamic of your plumbing, it is only changing the aperture of the outlet of the pump. That is absolutely an incorrect statement. What you don't understand is that changing the aperture of the outlet of the pump ABSOLUTELY DOES CHANGE THE HEAD in the plumbing system. I've tried to explain some of the theory but you're hung up on this idea that head is strictly related to height and it isn't. Head, in pumping terms, is a combination of pressure from the height of the fluid and the friction losses in the plumbing system. By reducing the aperture of the outlet of the pump you are absolutely increasing the friction in the system. Increased friction adds to the "total dynamic head" of the system. When pump manufacturers publish flow values at certain head values (ie 1500 gph at 7-foot of head) they are not talking about the height of water the pump is pushing, they are talking about total dynamic head which includes friction losses in the system. As I've said multiple times, head, flow and wattage draw are tied together in a pump system. You can't change one without changing the other. Your statements on efficiency are also wrong but you don't want to learn anything so I won't bother. Blakew
Here is a quote from Reeflo's website backing up my statements. 4. If your pump is producing too much flow, you can reduce the flow by partially closing a valve on the discharge line. Never restrict the inlet!!! Surprisingly, this will make the motor work less and use less electricity!! This "valving back" simply causes the pump to operate further back on its performance curve. There are two elements that cause pressure requirements in your system; vertical lift and "FRICTION LOSS". Simply stated it is the pressure created by trying to squeeze large flows through a narrow opening (think bar straw). There are two important aspects 1) It matters the length of the narrow line (1" bar straw vs. 10" bar straw) and 2) Friction loss increases at an increasing rate when either flow is increased or pipe is narrowed. The narrower the line the more the pump has to work (think clogged ateries and your heart). Here's the link to the Reeflo tips and troubleshooting pdf...http://www.reeflopumps.com/images/tips.pdf Blakew
Ok, Blennyman, what is your question based on? Blake is correct that you cannot make the Dart version consume less power than the snapper. You can however lower the consumed wattage on the pump, just not to the point where it would be better to throttle back the dart instead of using the snapper. I agree with Blake in his point about the flow vs power consumed.
You can however lower the consumed wattage on the pump, just not to the point where it would be better to throttle back the dart instead of using the snapper. Now we're on the same page. Absolutely agree with this statement. More to the possible intent of the original question, based on Reeflo's published data, you can reduce the wattage consumption on the Snapper from a max of 105 watts to a minimum published wattage draw of 70 watts, if you're willing to reduce the flow from 1500 gph to 300 gph. The only way to know absolutely for sure how much power you're saving is to partially close a valve on the pressure side of your pump and check the wattage draw with a kill-a-watt (you could come real close by doing some calculations). If you're willing to have less flow, you can save some energy. The reduction in flow will be much greater than the reduction in energy costs, but you will save some energy. Blakew
Not to beat a dead horse, but the title of the blog was "Tuning a Pump for BEP (best efficiency point). If the goal and intent of the post was to find the point of lowest energy usage then as stated above stick a valve inline and dial back the flow to the minimum flow you're willing to live with. If the goal and intent of the post was indeed to find the point of best efficiency, that's a horse of a different color. Pump efficiency in simple terms is how much of the energy put into the pump is converted into useful work. To find the point of best efficiency you'd need an efficiency curve, but we can estimate that point by looking at how much flow the pump is producing. For the snapper, comparing the first two published data points from the pump curve we get a 14% reduction in flow for a 105% increase in wattage used (not very efficient going from 0-foot of head to 2-foot of head, for the next two data points we get 16% reduction in flow for a 105% increase in wattage used, for the next two data points we get a 20% reduction in flow for a 5% reduction in wattage used (now we're going in the right direction), for the next two data points we get a 40% reduction in flow for a 5% reduction in wattage used (wow fell off the earth on that one), for the next two data points we get a 67% reduction in flow for a 26% reduction in wattage usage. Based on this information the most efficient operational point is going to be between 1900 gph and 1500 gph. If your current set up is pumping more than 1900 gph and you're willing to live with the reduction in flow, you could dial the gate valve back until the pump was producing somewhere between 1900 gph and 1500 gph and you'd be in the ball park of the most efficient operational point for that pump with your system. Blakew
See I think that trimming, might be what he was looking for, but, blenny hasn't posted since the first. It seems as though the manufacturer even recommends trimming the output to save seals and energy, like its not meant to be wide open. Kinda like exhaust for a car is supposed to have some resistance.
The statement from the manufacturer is a sales statement. What I mean is they're saying to someone who doesn't need 1500 gph flow through their overflow, "you can still buy this pump and just strict the output so that it's only flowing 1000 gph". In the "real" pump world it's a bad idea. You only get the pump that's big enough to do what you need it to do and no more. What I mean is, if you need 1000 gph at 7-feet of head you don't buy a pump that produces 1500 gph at 7-feet of head and restrict the flow until you get 1000 gph at 8.5 to 9 - feet of head. The pump that produces 1000 gph at 7-feet of head will in almost every case use less energy than the pump that produces 1500 gph at 7-feet of head (even if the second pump is restricted so that it only flows 1000 gph). As for the car exhaust comparison, you are correct, without some restriction the pump will over rev and you risk cavitation, but just like with a car exhaust if you restrict the exhaust flow too much you loose performance. That's why "johnny go fast types" pull the factory exhaust off of their sports cars and add aftermarket exhaust that are less restrictive. When they do, they get better performance. Blakew
i curious to find out how it helps save the seal maybe less vibration? anyone know?

When Leslie Santos was working on her master's degree in rehabilitation counseling at the University of Puerto Rico, many of the articles and books she read were written by University of Iowa professors Dennis R. Maki and Vilia Tarvydas.
"They are the top in the field of rehabilitation counseling," Santos says.
So when she had an opportunity to move to Iowa to pursue her doctorate, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to study under Maki and Tarvydas.
Although the term 'interpersonal psychotherapy,' or IPT, may not be as familiar to the lay person as 'Freudian analysis' or 'cognitive behavior therapy,' its use as a treatment for a variety of psychiatric disorders has steadily grown since its development more than three decades ago. On June 13, from 6-7 p.m. in the Senate Chamber of the Old Capitol Museum, WorldCanvass Studio host Joan Kjaer and a group of international experts will discuss IPT's efficacy, explore cultural challenges to treatment, and compare and contrast the approach to psychological disorders and mental illness in the Canadian, Australian, and U.S. healthcare systems.
Thousands of miles from Iowa, an earthquake struck China last week, but some University of Iowa students still felt the impact. On April 20, a magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit the center of Ya'an, located in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan, killing more than 192 people and leaving more than 11,000 injured, according to the Associated Press.

You may recognize her striking face from fashion spreads in Elle and Vogue or the Victoria's Secret runway, but Alek Wek has another story to tell. Not that of an international supermodel but of the struggles of life as a refugee.
On April 5, Wek will tell the story of her personal journey as a refugee and her current work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) when she appears as a guest on International Programs' WorldCanvass television and radio program as part of the UI Provost's Global Forum on Refugees in the Heartland. WorldCanvass will be held in the Old Capitol Senate Chamber from 5 to 7 p.m., on Friday, April 5, 2013, and the public is invited to attend.
The Provost's Global Forum "Refugees in the Heartland" will feature panels and discussions about refugee resettlement, rights of refugees, the long history of refugee resettlement in Iowa, international refugee crises and related management challenges, and will bring together refugee experts and refugee leaders from the Midwest and the nation.
International immigrants are attracted to the Midwest, and Iowa specifically, for its low unemployment rate and cost of living, diverse economic sectors, and educational opportunities, said Amy Weismann, associate director for the University of Iowa's Center for Human Rights.
"Especially for refugees, people come from places with violence and economic strife where they fear authorities," she said. "Iowa is much less anxious and a more accommodating place to live and not only survive but thrive."
