It is very common that antisurge control basis and antisurge controller principles of operation are not well known and understood in the facilities where the centrifugal compressors are installed.
This leads to inefficient maintenance and operation of antisurge controller and asociated
Ugly yes; but no racial remarks
From Eric Dondero:
Far Left websites such as Huffington Post and Firedog Lake reported with glee late yesterday, on alleged "racial slurs" hurled at black members of Congress as they passed a gauntlet of Tea Party protesters, while entering the Capitol. Big media have picked up on the story this morning, from ABC News, to the NY Times, to the Washington Post.
This is how MSNBC reported on the story "Protest gets Ugly, Racist":
From NBC's Luke Russert
The Tea Party protests got ugly today.African-American Congressman John Lewis (D-GA), a protege of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who helped organize the March on Washington, went to the House floor today to tell Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) that a Tea Party protester called him a "n-----."
But the video tells a different story. "Ugly," yes. But absolutely no racial ephitats can be heard and further no evidence on the video of anyone being spat upon.
HotAirPundit (not HotAir.com), has a second video of Cong. John Lewis leaving the Capitol. Once again, absolutely no racial slurs are heard. HA Pundit asks:
Is it possible that John Lewis didn't hear any racial slurs, but 'Deemed' it to be so when he talked to Reporters?
Major hat tip to Barry Goldwater-ian blog BasilsBlog for uncovering the video.
In a question it has been asked to find BEP( best efficiency point) . they have provided a graph . the x axis represents FLOW(CFM 0-4000) , left side y axis represents STATIC pressure(INCHES H20 0-60) & right side of y axis represents SHAFT power(HP 0-60).

This animation of a virtual flight over of the southwestern part of the Candor Chasma on Mars was made from HiRISE Digital Terrain Models (DTM’s). Essentially DTM’s are made from two images of the same area on the ground taken from different angles, a stereo pair. The process of going from a stereo pair to a DTM is the hard part. Happily we have people who are up to the challenge.
The great thing about the DTM is the high resolution of the source imagery, the HiRISE images coming from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter are normally between 0.25 and 0.5 m/pixel. The derived terrain is about four times the source, so we are talking a vertical precision in the tens of centimeters. 1
Hat tip to Don, thanks Don!
Three Capitol Hill officers confirm count
From Eric Dondero:
The big media this morning, is almost entirely ignoring the size of the Tea Party protest crowds at the Capitol yesterday. But one outlet lets it slip, though buried down in their story.
Reporter Salena Zito with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has this report, 17 paragraphs down, (notably not the headline of the story), in an article "Tea Party heard as D.C. focus of Protest":
Capitol Hill Police do not officially comment on crowd sizes. Yet three officers at separate vantage points estimated the rally's attendance more than 20,000, based on the number of people that typically can fill the lawn.
Michele Bachmann while speaking to the rally estimated "25,000." Later, Fox News reported "thousands." MSNBC reported "between 1,500 to 2,000 Tea Party protesters."
Any body could you say? what is rating of flanges and valves?
rating stands for what ? why equelent flanges required for flange joints?

An important thing happened in Montana last week. This is the first known case of its kind in the United States. A federal judge has approved a settlement requiring the government to suspend oil and gas leases on almost 38,000 acres in Montana because future “climate change impacts were not studied prior to leasing.” This is one reason the Kerry-Lieberman-Graham bill should not pass (as is): their new bill would take away the rights of states and the EPA to take action on climate change, like this, if they choose to do so. Power should never be taken away from the states or the EPA to do what needs to be done to stop global warming.
“An attorney involved in the case says it marks the first time the Bureau of Land Management has agreed to go back and consider if a lease sale could exacerbate climate change.”
That is what I consider some progress — not the drilling for more oil and gas, but looking at the effects extracting fossil fuels will have on the world’s climate. It’s also noteworthy that the leases suspended included the polluting process of natural gas drilling.
BILLINGS, Mont. – A federal judge has approved a first-of-its-kind settlement requiring the government to suspend 38,000 acres of oil and gas leases in Montana so it can gauge how oil field activities contribute to climate change.
At issue are the greenhouse gases emitted by drilling machinery and industry practices such as venting natural gas directly into the atmosphere.
Under the deal approved Thursday by U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy in Missoula, the Bureau of Land Management will suspend the 61 leases in Montana within 90 days. They will have to go through a new round of environmental reviews before the suspensions can be lifted.
“We view this as a very big deal, if a modest first step, in the BLM addressing climate change in oil and gas development,” said plaintiffs’ attorney Erik Schlenker-Goodrich. “It’s quite a dirty process, but there are ways to clean it up.” “
Except there is no way to clean up the pollution and CO2 emissions from burning oil and gas.  Real progress would include the consideration of the pollution when the fuels are burned in whether or not to suspend the leases.
“Plaintiffs in the case were the Montana Environmental Information Center, the Oil and Gas Accountability Project and Wild Earth Guardians.
A parallel lawsuit challenging 70,000 acres of federal lands leased in New Mexico remains pending.
Industry representatives contend emissions from oil and gas fields are necessary to develop a valuable domestic resource. And they argue that natural gas still comes in ahead of dirtier fuels like coal in terms of climate change contributions.
Oil and gas operations contribute about 23 percent of annual U.S. methane emissions and 2 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
A BLM spokesman, Greg Albright, said reviewing lease sales for climate [...]

The “Cranky Yank”, aka Dan Prescher, is definitely cranky but also passionate about the places he and his wife, Suzan Haskins, have chosen to reside during their 10 years of ex-pat life. Crankiness, passion and “old-fashioned” common sense make this blog worthwhile whether you are serious about relocation or fantasizing from the family armchair in the den. You will find some gems.

Today was our first full day in Jamaica. We woke up around 1000 a.m. to partake in the hotel breakfast. I for some reason got the traditional breakfast rather than the fullon Jamaican one but I suppose it's probably because I know we'll be getting real Jamaican food all week at our homestays. I must say though the coffee was awesome. Hopefully I'll get some more while I'm here...After

Indeed I'm not. You just get two for one today friendsI failed to write in my journal on March 9 so lucky you you get to
My family and I took a cruise to Egypt and I HIGHLY recommend that if you want a taste of the country. Here is a link to a video I made httpwww.youtube.comwatchvUAwgqg4Jnk We took Nascotours tour company by bus from the Alexandria port to Cairo. I would recommend a bus tour because they offer protection and we needed it from the street vendors. Our tour guide was very informative. Also
These are some photos I took in the Clear Creek area in Bath County Kentucky which is about 45 minutes from Lexington KY.
