United States Patent Alb 2,942,850 6/1960 Heath 3,117,634 1/1964 Persson Primary ExaminerJames A. Leppink ABSTRACT: A solid, button-insert-type percussion bit is disclosed having a generally cylindrical body with a forwardly facing surface provided with hardened cutter inserts and a rearward, anvil-forming portion. A diagonal chamber in the bit body reciprocably mounts a plunger having a cutter element on its forward face in such position as to be driven against the periphery of the bottom of the hole being drilled. A passage connects the chamber in back of this plunger with the forward working chamber of the percussion drill motor so that the small plunger and its cutter are driven outwardly to maintain the gauge of the hole each time the forwardly facing cutter elements are driven forwardly by axial blows applied by the hammer piston.
ATENTEU JUH 8 I971 SHEET 2 OF 2 QR u 3210a! JEWNVH I ROCK BIT WITII POWERED GAUGE CUTTER This invention relates to percussion rock bits, particularly of the solid type, having hardened cutter inserts mounted in and projecting from the forward face and periphery thereof.
Normally, rotary-cone-type bits are used for deep hole drilling, whether of the conventional rotary type or in cooperation with a downhole type of percussion motor. This is because no fully satisfactory way has been provided for maintaining the size or gauge of the hole when solid-type bits are used for this purpose. However, rotary cone bits do not possess the strength characteristics of solid-type bits and, therefore, cannot be subjected to the full potential energy output which may be developed by modern downhole percussion tools. More particularly, with the use of solid-type bits, rapid wear on the outside diameter of the body results in unacceptable loss of hole gauge long before the face cutters of the bit are worn out. In some cases, complete failure of the peripheral cutting elements due to the pinching action of the bit makes it necessary to pull the bit early. Furthermore, reinsertion of the new or repaired bit is difficult because of the reduced size of the hole, as explained.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a solid-type rock bit which is sufficiently rugged for use with high-pressure, percussion-type downhole tools and which will effectively maintain the desired hole gauge.
Another object is to provide such a bit having means whereby an axial percussive blow upon the bit body is accompanied by an outward cutting stroke of one or more cutting elements which will effectively maintain the original diameter or gauge of the hole.
Another object is to provide a novel, percussion-type bit which incorporates individually powered means for drilling the hole slightly larger than the diameter of the bit body so as to reduce bit wear and facilitate reinsertion of the new bit into the hole.
These objects and others are attained by means of the herein-disclosed device which comprises a solid-type rock bit body having a forward working face which is provided with hardened cutter inserts and a rear portion which forms the anvil of a percussion-type drill motor. One or more gauge cutters are provided. Each comprises a small, cylindrical chamber extending diagonally rearwardly and inwardly from an opening at or adjacent the intersection of the bit forward and side surfaces, and a plunger reciprocable in this chamber carries a hardened cutter element in its forward face. The plunger is urged rearwardly by a spring. A control passage connects the chamber in back of the plunger with the forward working chamber of the percussion motor whereby fluid pressure conditions in the mentioned forward working chamber are transmitted to the plunger for impelling the same and its cutter element diagonally against the corner of the hole being drilled, so as to chip the corner and therefore maintain the diameter of the hole slightly larger than the diameter of the bit body itself. During each upward or return movement of the hammer piston during normal operation, the pressure in the forward working chamber rises sufficiently to drive the mentioned plunger and cutter forwardly against the corner of the hole being drilled. A small, rearward boss on the plunger normally enters the mentioned control passage. This boss permits sufficient delay after commencement of the return stroke of the hammer piston so that the pressure in the control passage builds up sufficiently to cause advance of the plunger and its cutter element at a high rate of speed.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention,
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal transverse section illustrating in part a form of percussion motor which may be combined with the herein-disclosed novel rock bit.
FIG. 2 is a similar view showing the forward portion of the motor of FIG. 1 together with the novel rock bit in normal operating position.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 2, rotated somewhat from the position of FIG. 2 and showing the rock bit in the abnormally advanced position incident to suspension of the motor off bottom.
FIG. 4 is a graphical representation of various parameters during operation of the motor.
The novel percussion drill motor illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is more fully disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pats. Nos. 3,229,776 and 3,105,559 assigned to the assignee of the present application. This motor comprises a ruggedly built, cylindrical casing 6 for connection at its upper end 7 with a source of fluid pressure, for instance, a conventional drill string, and having a coarse thread 8 at its lower end for reception of a split adapter nut 9 which, in turn, slidably receives the anvil 10 by means of splines 11. At the lower or forward end of anvil 10 there is provided, in this case integrally, a bit body 12 having a downward or forward face 13 provided with propitiously arranged, hardened cutting inserts 14. A chamber 15 is provided at the intersection of forward surface 13 and generally cylindrical side surface 16 of the body. The upper end of the anvil is provided with a guide enlargement l7 slidably received within casing 6. An axial duct l8, I9, 20 extends through the anvil in part, as will be explained, for conducting motor exhaust which cools and lubricates the bit cutters and carries cuttings to the surface of the hole, in the usual manner. The upper end 21 of nut 9 underlies anvil enlargement 17 to prevent the anvil from dropping out the bottom of the casing.
Reciprocably received within casing 6 is the hammer piston 24 having thickened central portions 25 and 26 which slide along the casing inner surface, and an internal annular shuttle groove 27. A control rod, generally designated 28, extends axially through the motor from its upper end, where it connects to the source of operating fluid pressure, for instance, the interior of the supporting drill stem, through an axial passage 29 in the hammer piston and into the upper portion 18 of the anvil passage. The control rod is formed ofa central body portion 30 and an outer shell 31 forming between them upper longitudinal passages 32 and lower longitudinal passages 33 connecting, respectively, ports 34 and 35 leading to upper working chamber 36 and lower ports 37 and 38 leading to lower working chamber 39. A high-pressure or working fluid passage 40 extends axially through the control rod and has a choke 41 at its lower end providing a constant bypass of working fluid. Central supply ports 42 connect working fluid passage 40 with shuttle groove 27. Exhaust passages, represented by dotted lines 43, are also provided between rod core 30 and shell 31 connecting, respectively, an upper exhaust port 44 opening to upper working chamber 36 and a lower exhaust port 45 for connecting lower working chamber 39 with exhaust duct 66 in the anvil, to be described. A blowing port 46 also opens into exhaust passage 43 and, normally, is covered by the hammer piston.
As explained in the above-mentioned patents, during normal operation of the motor with the bit resting on bottom and the lower edge 9a of nut 9 resting on bit shoulder 120, working fluid supplied through control rod passage 40 is alternately shuttled by means of groove 27 in the hammer piston 24 to lower working chamber 39 to lift the hammer piston and to upper working chamber 36 to drive the hammer piston downwardly in its power stroke. In the lowermost position of the hammer piston, upon striking the upper surface 47 of the anvil, upper exhaust port 44 will be exposed above the hammer piston so as to exhaust pressure from upper chamber 36. At the uppermost or turnaround position of the hammer piston, the lower edge 48 thereof exposes lower exhaust port 45 to exhaust lower working chamber 39. When the tool is suspended off bottom (FIG. 3), anvil 10 will drop abnormally until enlargement l7 rests upon upper end 21 of adapter nut 9; At this time, shuttle groove 27 will somewhat overlap blowing port 45 so that the high-pressure working fluid will flow directly through exhaust passages 43 into anvil exhaust duct 18, etc. As will be explained hereafter, lower working chamber 39 will be vented at the same time.
With reference to FIG. 2, a small, cylindrical chamber 50 extends diagonally inwardly and rearwardly from the intersection of forward face 13 and side face 16 of the bit and is provided with a liner 51 having a countersunk upper portion, as at 52, and slidably receiving a small, elongated plunger 53 having an upper collar 54 A coiled compression spring 55 normally urges collar 54 against a shoulder 56 at the upper end of chamber 50 and has a hardened cutter insert 57 at its lower end. Collar 54 has a central boss 58 which normally enters the countersunk lower portion 59 of a diagonal control passage 60 extending to and opening into intermediate portion 19 of the exhaust duct through the anvil.
The upper portion 18 of the anvil passage is of somewhat greater diameter than the lower extremity 28a of the control rod so as to provide an annular passage 62 between the rod and anvil. A frustoconical shell 63, in this case welded to the lower end of control rod shell 31, extends below the control rod and, normally, slidably receives the upper end portion 64a of a tubular structure 64 which is lodged in intermediate portion 19 of the anvil passage. Conical lugs 64b on structure 64 rest against incline 19a in the anvil passage while permitting free passage of fluid therepast. A sealing O'ring 64c is provided at the lower end of structure 64. The intermediate portion 64d of the tubular structure is slightly spaced from the intermediate portion 19 of the anvil passage to provide an annular passage 65 with which previously mentioned diagonal control passage 60 communicates exteriorly and, normally, independently of the exhaust duct 66 through structure 64.
FIG. 41 represents diagrammatically the pressure conditions above or behind hammer piston 24 (curve A), pressure conditions beneath (forwardly) of the hammer piston (curve B), and the position of the hammer piston (curve C). ln each case, the abscissae represent time, the total time of a cycle of the hammer piston in this instance being approximately 0.060 seconds. The ordinates in the case of curves A and B represent pounds-per-square-inch absolute. The ordinates with respect to curve C represent inches. The line D represents the critical pressure beneath the hammer and in passage 60 at which boss 58 on plunger 53 advances from passage countersink 59 to expose the entire area of collar 54 to the pressure in control passage 60. Thus, lug 58 has the effect of limiting the advanced positioning of cutter 57 during which the striking blow occurs, to the time between the points 70 and 71 on the curve B during which plunger 53 drives quickly downwardly and outwardly to stroke a chipping blow against the corner portion 72 of the hole bottom. Maximum pressure in passage 60 and in forward working chamber 39 is reached at the point 73, while at the point 74, maximum pressure is reached in the upper working chamber just prior to TDC of the hammer piston. Critical pressure beneath the hammer (Curve 8) is again reached at point 71 which permits spring 55 to return the plunger to its rest position, with boss 58 in passage countersink 59. The return motion of the plunger between points 71 and 75 occupies approximately 80 percent ofthe cycle time.
Following the guage-cutting stroke and dwell of the plunger, the hammer enters its power stroke and ultimately strikes the anvil. Just before striking of the anvil, pressure in forward working chamber 39 reaches the low point 76 (curve B). Soon this pressure begins to build up and, when line D is reached, a chipping blow of plunger 53 is again initiated.
Thus, the frequency of the gauge-cutting device is the same as that of the main hammer piston. One or more of the gaugecutting devices may be provided, as needed, to insure drilling of the hole at a diameter slightly greater than the diameter of the bit proper. The dimensions of the percussion motor will be adjusted to accommodate the slight increase of volume which must be filled by working fluid during lifting of the hammer piston. The alternate axial and diagonal blows will continue as long as the tool is on bottom and the lower end of adapter 8 rests on shoulder 75 of the bit.
FIG. 3 shows the tool rotated so that the gauge cutter is out of the plane of the view and the tool is hanging. The upper portion 640 of the tubular structure will withdraw from conical shell 63 (FIG. 3) permitting venting of lower working chamber 39 through passage 18 and the clearance 76 between shell 63 and the tubular structure. Moreover, at this time, insufficient pressure will be developed in passage 60 to cause actuation of diagonal plunger 53. Thus, the hammer piston will remain motionless in its lowermost position, while plunger 53 will remain in its uppermost position and the full force of working fluid will "blow" through exhaust duct 66, 20.
The particular type of percussion motor shows is exemplary, but any other type may be used with the novel rock bit structure, provided a control pressure can be tapped which fluctuates so as to produce the periodical gauge-chipping action of the individual cutting plungers 53. High-pressure passaging 18, 19 leading to the gauge cutter may be otherwise formed and may communicate directly with another part of the percussion motor, for instance, top chamber 36. Moreover, in a broad sense, other types of percussive action may be utilized and distributed to provide more-or-less concurrent or sequential axial and diagonal or lateral cutting blows.
The invention may be modified in various respects as will occur to those skilled in the art and the exclusive use of all modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims as contemplated.
I claim:

Barge In
Antwerp Port Promoting Barge Projects
Antwerp is the leading barge port in Europe. Now with its Instream campaign it is showcasing its barge facilities. Each week more than 915 barges call at the port of Antwerp carrying project cargo, containers and dry and liquid bulk to and from northern France, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Keeping this barge traffic flowing smoothly requires efficient collaboration between all partners in the chain. Over the past few years this collaboration has led to the development of various digital tools that all share the same goal, namely to make the port of Antwerp more accessible for barges. The Instream campaign draws all these initiatives together, making it clear at a glance how Antwerp stands out from other ports. Modal shift The port of Antwerp aims to increase the share of barge transport in the modal mix from the present 36% to 42% by 2030. Barge transport plays a crucial role in maintaining sustainable links with the hinterland and underpinning the logistics goods flow. Not surprisingly, therefore, Antwerp Port Authority has for some years played a pioneering role to streamline barge traffic in the port, in collaboration with all the other partners in the chain. Efficient barge transport makes the port more attractive to port customers and encourages them to make greater use of this mode. Collaboration
Barge Partially Sinks
The AP has reported that a barge hauling 800,000 gallons of liquid asphalt that strayed from its tow has partially sunk to the river bottom, according to the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard said the barge doesn't seem in danger of breaking. The river current has pushed the 80-foot barge sideways against a railroad bridge near downtown Louisville. Nauert said the barge is believed to be stable. The barge was one of three that got away from their tow Thursday when a connecting cable broke or

Kirby plans to take delivery of seven of the tank barges in 2003 and nine in the first half of 2004. The total purchase price of the 16 barges is approximately $29 million, with an estimated $12.6 million to be expended in 2003 and $16.4 million in 2004. Under the terms of the contract
The ATB:A History of the State-of-the-Art
(This is Part I of a two-part series on the Articulated Tug Barge from Robert P. Hill. Part II is scheduled to be published in the September 23 edition of MarineNews.) The American coastwise shipping business has grown in a way that differs from many other nations. The high cost of manning and building ships has led over the years to a coastwise transportation network dominated by tugs and barges. But this system of water transport, has been lacking in several respects:

- Conversion Tables, Formulas and Suggested Guidelines for Horticultural Use (B 931)
- Published 6/22/2016
- Pesticide and fertilizer recommendations are often made on a pounds per acre and tons per acre basis. While these may be applicable to field production of many crops, orchardists, nurserymen and greenhouse operators often must convert these recommendations to smaller areas, such as row feet, square feet, or even per tree or per pot. Thus pints, cups, ounces, tablespoons and teaspoons are the common units of measure. The conversion is frequently complicated by metric units of measure. This publication is designed to aid growers in making these calculations and conversions, and also provides other data useful in the management, planning and operation of horticultural enterprises.

Wednesday, November 2, 2005
June 15, 2005
Through high school, Rick Vaughan was that guy, who worked hard in basketball every single year. And every single year, the coach cut him. But he always turned out the next year, a little more skilled and a lot more determined.
He told this story how his father died eight years ago; how his mother burned in a house fire months ago and how the thing he wanted more than anything else was to have a house ready for her to come home to for when she recovered.
It was a rousing speech, one that brought the thousands gathered Friday night at Henderson Memorial Stadium for graduation to their feet.
"I thought it was marvelous," said Hood River Valley High School co-principal Martha Capovilla. "A very powerful speech that was certainly from the heart. I think it had a wonderful message for his classmates as well as people in the audience."
Hood River Valley High School graduated 275 students Friday night, in a ceremony that lasted two and-a-half hours.
"The class of 2005 has shown tremendous passion for humanities, in terms of they're outreach to the community for community service," Capovilla said. "I think they have really exemplified what it takes to be good citizens as a group. We were so proud of how the students responded and performed through the ceremony. Not one glitch on behalf of students. That is a good example of how as a group the class just matured and will move forward to become great citizens."
Six of those students completed the 26.5 credits necessary to graduate without ever receiving a grade less than an A. Abby Capovilla, Alicia Friend, Meghan Flink, Sarah Hourston, Jillian Jones and Rose Kelter were the valedictorians of the Class of 2005. To achieve this, all six had to survive a sophomore year up to which dozens of students were still in contention for valedictorian status.
The last to drop off the valedictorian list was Diana Chen, a semester before the ceremony.
This group might be the last in an era of multiple valedictorians at Hood River Valley High School. Starting next year, the school will execute a long-anticipated system that should produce a single valedictorian by awarding merit to grade point average, class difficulty and study of emphasis.
All students who receive 4.0s next year will be salutatorians.

Asutilla, ABS-CBN News Central Visayas Posted at Apr 19 2014 05:07 PM | Updated as of Apr 20 2014 01:40 AM Share Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest CEBU – The Department of Health-Region 7 and the PNP Regional Office in Central Visayas are currently tracking 14 passengers of Ethiad Airways Flight EY0424, who need to be tested for Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome or MERS Corona Virus. In a phone interview with Senior Supt. Erson Digal, chief of the Regional Operations Plans Division of PRO-7, he said the 14 passengers are from the provinces of Negros Oriental, Bohol, and Cebu. Digal said they were able to contact some of the passengers, who were willing to submit themselves for tests at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center or VSMMC. On Friday night, Dr. Expedito Medalla of the Health Emergency Management of DOH-7 said four of the 14 passengers went to the VSMMC on board an ambulance from Pinamungajan town for testing. In a phone interview, Medalla said that the four patients, who were on the flight coming from a pilgrimage, were not all from Pinamungajan town but from other locations. Profiles of the four need to be confidential, he said. Medalla said the four tested negative and were sent home after. Meanwhile, police have assigned officers in health units where there are suspected cases to also trace those who got in contact with the 14 passengers of the said flight. Digal, along with other officials of the PRO-7 and the DOH-7, had an emergency meeting Friday evening regarding the tracking and information dissemination of MERS coronavirus.

Maadi Cup win fires up Kerri-Ann to new goals
Relevant offers
Kerri-Ann Sinclair returned from the Maadi Cup with a bronze medal and a new outlook on sport.
She and fellow Southland Girls' High School student Michaela Townshend teamed up to finish third in the girls' under-16 doubles at the Maadi Cup. The prestigious rowing regatta for New Zealand secondary schools was held at Lake Karapiro in the Waikato in March.
"It's a national event and quite an achievement [finishing third]," Sinclair, 15, said.
"It drives you to new goals."
Other rowing achievements for Sinclair this year have been two medals at the South Island club championships on Lake Ruataniwha, Twizel - gold in the under-16 doubles final with Georgia Smith, and a silver in the under-16 coxed quad with Eden Cross (cox), Smith, Rhiana Maxwell and Townshend.
At the South Island secondary schools championships on Lake Ruataniwha, Sinclair won a silver medal in the under-16 coxed quad final with Cross (cox), Smith, Maxwell and Townshend.
The South Island secondary schools' rowing championships on Lake Ruataniwha, Twizel, on March 8 and 9, are again pencilled in for Sinclair, a member of the Waihopai Rowing Club. She has been rowing for two years.
Netball and basketball are other sports the teenager is involved in.
She is in the Southland Girls' High School senior A team, which clashed with Rata A in the final of the premier grade netball competition in Invercargill on Saturday. Rata A won 50-31.
The Girls' High senior A team will be in action at the South Island secondary schools' championships in Christchurch next week. The team is coached by former international netballer Natalie Avellino.
Sinclair plays for the Girls' High junior A basketball team in the Invercargill secondary schools' competition. Six teams compete and the top-of-the-table honour see-saws between Girls' High and Verdon College.
More sporting opportunities in Invercargill made Sinclair switch from Fiordland College to Girls' High late last year.
"I'm enjoying it."
Her mother, Heather Sinclair, of Te Anau, said Kerri-Ann received valuable coaching in Te Anau from Shaun Cantwell (athletics) and Shelley Wilson (netball) before moving to Invercargill.
Waihopai rowing coach Russell Everett has also played a key role in her sporting success.
Another achievement of Sinclair's was being a finalist in the junior section of the Gold Guitar Awards in Gore two years ago.

Game of Thrones became really popular nowdays in Moscow, and I got really upset, that I've somehow missed the memo about public last episode watch at one of the open-air cinemas in Moscow park. I got super envious looking through instagram tag at everyone who was having fun and eating Jon Snow head shaped ice creams. WHAT.
So once I found out that there will be a Game of Thrones festival at Hermitage Garden in Moscow I got ready in no time! Me and my friend arrived around two hours after the festival was opened and I was quite surprised by the amount of people that showed up. And there were a lot of families with kids, but literally everyone was discussing the show, so no random people wandering.
However despite the hype around this event it was rather dull… The garden was too small, so it was a bit annoying to walk around, and it was hard to take a photo without someone's feet or butt in a frame.
Tired and already annoyed cosplayers of Daenerys, Melisandre, Margaery and Jon Snow who desperately and without any success were searching for a calm place to crash and eat without someone trying to sneak a photo with them. Although I must say, it was just barely two hours since the festival had opened, so they expired and wore off their friendliness a bit too early.
And there was a long line for everything. Wanna take a photo with a huge black crow? Get in a line. Want to get some snacks from the Stark's house? Get in a line. Wanna take a photo to sit on the Iron Throne? Get in a line. We asked people in front, how long have they been standing and they said, 2 hours… Needless to say, we gave up our chances!
Aside from that, there wasn't much else to do. We shopped around for a little while more but no luck. We didn't want to get a serious lunch, but all the pies and cookies were sold out already… We took some photos with carton stands of Tyrion and Jon, waved a plastic sword around and left to find something more exciting in another part of the city!
We later walked to the center and found ourselves at the ice cream festival. We wanted to try something really special, some unusual flavor and we came across the pop up shop of the "Chainaya Vysota" – Ice cream and tea house. They offer a wide variety of tea based ice creams and sorbets with Russia inspired flavors.
My choice was "Black on Black" – blueberry ice cream with basil and black pepper, and "Borodino" rye ice cream with herbs. Both were so unusual and delicious I almost bit my own tongue. And once they melted a bit and mixed…. WOW. We took the advertising booklet, that listed 132 different flavors, birch juice, tilia honey, rye and malt, rose, chestnuts etc… Definitely going to visit the original tea house to taste more of those!!!

Proponents of an energy-efficiency bill may want to thank Russia for their measure finally getting its long-awaited day in the Senate.
Because of the impromptu diplomatic talks triggered by Russia that are under way in hopes of resolving the Syrian conflict, the Senate has put on the back burner a resolution to authorize military action against the Middle Eastern country. Instead, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., on Wednesday afternoon moved to a bipartisan energy-efficiency bill that the Senate had planned to debate this week before the Syrian debate escalated.
"I think it's appropriate that rather than sit here and tread water and do nothing, we should move forward on this legislation," Reid said on the Senate floor in reference to the bill sponsored by Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, D"'N.H., and Rob Portman, R-Ohio.
That wasn't exactly a rousing introduction to this energy debate, but the measure's authors and the leaders of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee are nonetheless seizing the moment.
"It's essentially the first stand-alone energy bill to be debated on the floor of the Senate since 2007," said Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore.
Comparing today's energy-efficiency measure to the 2007 mammoth of a bill is like apples to oranges (or grapes to watermelons). The energy bill the Senate is debating now is 30 pages long, and has fully offset costs and just one mandatory measure: to make the federal government's use of energy more efficient. The bill also includes a host of voluntary measures, such as strengthening national building codes and directing the Energy Department to encourage development of energy-efficiency technology.
In contrast, the 2007 bill was 310 pages long, cost the government millions of dollars, and significantly strengthened both the renewable-fuel standard for gasoline and fuel-economy standards for vehicles.
Today, Republicans are almost universally opposed to federal mandates of all kinds, and Democrats aren't going to bat for them like they used to.
"Nobody is going to be able to say this is part of a dumb federal mandate or some kind of run-from-Washington, one-size-fits-all approach," Wyden said.
A few minutes later, Energy and Natural Resources ranking member Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, took to the floor to say: "I would not be supporting any provision if it required mandatory adoption of those [efficiency] codes. But this bill is voluntary."
The bill has support from a wide range of groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Natural Resources Defense Council. Its detractors are few, but among them is the free-market Heritage Foundation, which claims the bill encourages wasteful programs and incentives.
The likelihood of this measure's passage hinges much less on its substance — which most senators support — and more on other circumstances, namely what controversial amendments may be offered and whether the Senate refocuses its attention on Syria.
It was unclear by press time Wednesday evening which contentious amendments, including one approving the Keystone XL oil pipeline and another stripping the Environmental Protection Agency of its power to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions, might get votes. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., objected to allowing more amendments Wednesday until a deal was worked out on one he offered related to Obamacare.
What We're Following See More »
Perhaps Donald Trump can take a plebiscite to solve this whole messy immigration thing. At a Fox News town hall with Sean Hannity last night, Trump essentially admitted he's "stumped," turning to the audience and asking: "Can we go through a process or do you think they have to get out? Tell me, I mean, I don't know, you tell me."
Donald Trump "nearly quintupled the monthly rent his presidential campaign pays for its headquarters at Trump Tower to $169,758 in July, when he was raising funds from donors, compared with March, when he was self-funding his campaign." A campaign spokesman "said the increased office space was needed to accommodate an anticipated increase in employees," but the campaign's paid staff has actually dipped by about 25 since March. The campaign has also paid his golf courses and restaurants about $260,000 since mid-May.
Donald Trump probably isn't taking seriously John Oliver's suggestion that he quit the race. But he has canceled or rescheduled rallies amid questions over his stance on immigration. Trump rescheduled a speech on the topic that he was set to give later this week. Plus, he's also nixed planned rallies in Oregon and Las Vegas this month.
Donald Trump's Fox News brain trust keeps growing. After it was revealed that former Fox chief Roger Ailes is informally advising Trump on debate preparation, host Sean Hannity admitted over the weekend that he's also advising Trump on "strategy and messaging." He told the New York Times: "I'm not hiding the fact that I want Donald Trump to be the next president of the United States. I never claimed to be a journalist."

Food Poisoning. At Churches Chicken
Posted in the Food Poisoning Forum
Aguadilla, Puerto Rico
#1 Feb 23, 2011
I ate a couple of bites of a chicken sandwhich and it made me very sick I had to go to the hospital due to stomac pains , vomiting so much . My stomac felt like someone rip the insides up .
#2 Jun 15, 2011
I Had food poisoning from em twice__but for some reason I still love their chicken
#3 Apr 5, 2012
I just had food poisoning from church's chicken too. I too was vomiting like that. My stomach felt the same way. I'm planning to sue them.
#4 Apr 5, 2012
No one else should ever feel that pain that we felt... I was at the ER for hours in excruciating pain and they couldn't find the actual problem... Just like April, I couldn't stop throwing up and I felt like my inside were bursting. CAT scans showed nothing physically wrong with my organs and my diagnoses with POSSIBLE food poisoning... The only thing I had to eat the day before was church's chicken, and to my suprise I see someone online that went through the same thing... Let's stop this from happening to any others.

I had the same issues from churchs chicken went and ate lunch went back to work about a hr later stomach started to hurt.went home pain was so encruciating I was vomiting.went to hospital and they admitted me

First let me begin with saying I'm sorry you had that experience after eating Church's Chicken I know how it feels because I also have had the same experience after buying a family meal deal to churches chicken and a strawberry pie after eating dinner late in the wee hours of the night I was very sick dizzy vomiting diarrhea and had to go to the hospital on the following morning to be diagnosed with food poisoning the doctor then stated that he suggested I call the restaurant where I ate at I did contact restaurant to advising them of my condition not knowing all at the same time that someone else that that had eaten with me was very sick also and was at the hospital and was diagnosed with the same thing at a different hospital after contacting churches chicken local restaurant and nothing was done I again called the corporate office and now a case set up and I was contacted by the insurance company Liberty Mutual this was about 16 days from the date of the incident after the claims representative asked me to send in medical records all the billings and the medicines I had to take it's well after 30 days and a another 30 days before I finally heard anything about the case. the claims representative, tells me that he sent a letter to me to tell me that my case was denied after investigating what churches chicken did for the day and there was no any other complaint of sicknesses. so based off the information my case was denied and he stated to me that because I had been fasting the grease from the chicken caused me to get sick and I wasn't food poisoning I asked him are you a doctor he stated that he wasn't but he still was not going to compensate me for my pain and suffering or pay any of my medical bills and "he was not going to open the case again " "Liberty Mutual and Church's Chicken should not treat consumers this way". I hope this helps you please do everything you possibly can for case. Because doctor's diagnosis, medical records, billing and not to say all the frustration pain and embarrassment it is not enough they're not going to do anything unless you possibly have a lawyer and if you do I'm saying bless you

Gwynne Dyer - World Watch
The "Arab Spring" was fast and dramatic: non-violent revolutions in the streets removed dictators in Tunisia and Egypt within weeks, and similar revolutions started in Libya, Syria, Bahrain and Yemen. The "Arab Autumn" is a slower and messier affair, but despite the carnage in Syria and the turbulent run-up to Egypt's first democratic elections, the signs are positive.
OPINION: Demonstrators in Bahrain were driven from the streets by massive military force, and Libya's revolution only triumphed after Western military intervention. In Syria and Yemen, originally non-violent protests risk tipping into civil wars. But there is still more good news than bad.
In October, Tunisia held its first free election, and produced a coalition government that is broadly acceptable to most Tunisians. Some worry the leading role that the local Islamic party, Ennahda, gained bodes ill for one of the Arab world's more secular societies, but Ennahda's leaders promise to respect the rights of less religious Tunisians, and there is no reason not to believe them.
Last weekend, elections in Morocco produced a similar result. The main Islamic party, the Justice and Development Party, gained the largest share of votes but not an absolute majority. It will doubtless play a leading role in the new government, but will not seek to impose its views on everybody else.
This Moroccan party took its name from the ruling Justice and Development (AK) party in Turkey, an Islamic party that has won three elections in a row and presided over the fastest economic growth in Turkey's history. Like the AK Party, the Moroccan version is socially conservative, pro-free market and obedient to the secular constitution.
These parties are "Muslim Democrats", as one AK Party member in Turkey put it, comparing them to the Christian Democratic parties of Western Europe. They have nothing to do with radical Islamist groups like al Qaeda. They are the natural repository for the votes of conservative people in a Muslim society, just as the Republican Party gets the votes of most Christian conservatives in the United States.
There was no revolution in Morocco: the new constitution approved by referendum last July was an attempt by King Mohamed VI to get ahead of the demands for more democracy. It obliges the king to choose the prime minister from the party that wins the most seats in parliament, rather than just naming whomever he pleasess.
Similar changes are under way in Jordan, where King Abdullah II is trying to ward off more radical demands for reform. Even the deeply conservative monarchies of the Arabian Peninsula supported the Arab League's decision to impose sanctions against the brutal Assad regime in Syria.
Syria may yet drift into civil war, but its fellow Arab states are taking their responsibilities seriously: only two Arab countries voted against the sanctions.
Egypt, by far the biggest Arab country, this week saw the start of parliamentary elections that will roll across the country until early January. Demonstrators have re-occupied Tahrir Square in Cairo, claiming the army wants to hold on to power, but things are not quite what they seem.
The army has already conceded the new president should be elected by next June rather than six months later, but the demonstrations were not really about that. They were an attempt to force the postponement of the parliamentary elections.
The newly formed liberal and secular parties tacitly back the demonstrators because they fear the Muslim Brotherhood will win these elections. It may well do so, because it continued to operate in a semi-underground way during the Mubarak dictatorship while the old liberal parties just faded away. But the fact some parties are not as ready as others for the elections is not an excuse to postpone them: Egypt needs an elected government.
It will soon have one, and if the Muslim Brotherhood plays a major role in it, why not? It has long outgrown its original radicalism, and you can't postpone democracy forever just because you don't fully trust your fellow citizens.
That leaves Bahrain, the one Arab country where the "Arab Spring" was comprehensively crushed. But last week, the king received the report of an independent commission which concluded there was no Iranian plot behind the demonstrations, and many detainees had been "blindfolded, whipped, kicked, given electric shocks and threatened with rape to extract confessions".
Sheikh Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa expressed "dismay" at the findings and vowed that "those painful events won't be repeated." Bringing democracy and the rule of law to the Arab world was always going to be a difficult process, but progress is being made on many fronts.

'Survivor: Philippines' Reveals Winner, Pays Tribute to Newtown Shooting Victims in Finale
After voting Abi-Maria off in a December 12 episode of "Survivor: Philippines", the remaining castaways began to think their next strategies to win the show. Mike was glad that they had removed a tumor (Abi) from the tribe, and reconsidered his alliance with Malcolm because Malcolm might be too hard to beat.
It wasn't long before the castaways got a tree mail announcing a challenge, but they didn't know whether it was a Reward Challenge or an Immunity Challenge until they met host Jeff Probst. It turned out they would play in a special Reward Challenge in which the winner would get a huge prize and an advantage in the last Immunity Challenge.
The game was to collect bags of puzzle pieces while racing through an obstacle course. Malcolm and Denise were neck in neck to finish first, but in the end it was Malcolm who won the challenge.
Denise then began trying to forge an alliance with Lisa and Mike, who later had their own discussion about who should be taken into the final three. Their decision, however, would depend on who won the Immunity Challenge.
The four finalists then paid tribute to all the previously voted off castaways in the Fallen Comrades Walk, before facing the final Immunity Challenge of season 25. They had to balance a ball on pieces of wood and added a new piece of wood every five minutes. The last person who dropped the ball won the challenge.
Malcolm got an advantage after winning the Reward Challenge. He would be given a second chance if he dropped the ball. He dropped the ball first and wasn't lucky either in his second shot. He was the first who was out of the challenge.
Denise dropped the ball next, leaving it between Lisa and Mike to compete for the Immunity necklace. Mike eventually won it and was automatically sent through to the final three.
Malcolm realized he was in danger of getting voted off, so he tried to convince Mike and Lisa that Denise would be a big threat in the final. Mike contemplated about facing off Malcolm in the Jury vote, but Lisa thought it would be wrong to take Malcolm to the final three. They finally gave their votes and it was revealed that Malcolm were voted off 3-1.
The Jury day came and the final three explained why they should become the winner in the final Tribal Council. Denise said she worked her way out to the final three and wouldn't apologize for anything she had done to get to this stage.
Lisa admitted it wasn't always pretty, but she had played her own game and grew as a player. Mike said he knew no one wanted him to get this far, but he always trusted his guts and deserved to win the grand prize.
The Jury then discussed who should win it, and Penner shockingly revealed Lisa's secret that might affect the Jury members' decision. He told them that Lisa was a former star of "Facts of Life". Lisa started to worry if the Jury thought she's wealthy and didn't deserve the $1 million prize.
Before announcing the results of the votes, Probst invited everyone to join a solemn moment of silence in memoriam of the victims of the Newtown school shooting. Denise was then declared the winner of this season with 6 votes from the Jury members.

This fascinator is so super awesome, I don't even have words. The shop owner asked what I would be wearing it with, and coordinated the colors with the print on my dress. I wore it already this weekend, and it was a huge hit. Also, I surprisingly did not notice it once I put it on, as it never offered to slide or move. I will post pictures. In the meantime, 10/10, would shop again.
Unique Millinery, and My Favorite Materials, From My Studio to Yours
Acadia Hahlbrock is a native of Ypsilanti, MI. currently residing and creating in a local one room schoolhouse with a purple picket fence.
Since childhood Acadia has enjoyed experimenting with a wide variety of materials, objects, and pigments, leading to a career producing 'found object' artwork. Her dabbling in a variety of materials evolved into a passion for millinery starting with her own bridal hair piece. Research into the rich history of millinery, and the historic construction techniques guided her career toward millinery as a base for mixed media. These wearable found-object sculptures have been worn across the US and in more than 33 countries worldwide.
Acadia is also an avid lover of gardening, reading, and the natural world; the influence of which is easily seen in her work. Many of her pieces feature floral or landscape motifs, natural elements, literary themes, and often bookpages themselves.
Acadia shares her creative energy with her daughter, Zinnia, her greatest work of art; and her loving husband Brian who patiently ignores the feathers and flowers that trail out of her studio and sneak into their home.
