DRUG PROBLEM
The other day, someone in our office read that a methamphetamine lab had
been found in an old farm house in the country and he asked me a
rhetorical question, "Why didn't we have a drug problem when you and I
were growing up?"
"I did have a drug problem when I wuz a kid growing up on the farm." I
had a bad drug problem when I was young and still have problems with it
today.
I was drug to church on Sunday morning.
I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.
I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the
weather.
I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.
I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie,
brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of
the teacher or the preacher. Or if I didn't put forth my best effort in
everything that was asked of me.
I was drug to the kitchen sink if I uttered a profane four letter word.
( I do know what Lye soap tastes like.)
I was drug out to pull weeds in mom's garden and flower beds and
cockleburs out of dad's fields.
I was drug to the homes of Family, Friends, and neighbors to help out
some poor soul who had no one, to mow the yard, repair the clothesline
or chop some fire wood, and if my mother had ever known that I took a
single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to
the wood shed.
Those drugs are still in my veins; and they affect my behavior in
everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack
or heroin. Yes, I did have a drug problem that still last thus far in my
life and I hope for years to come.
Saab worked on a similar unit back in about 2000.
"The injector unit and spark plug are integrated into one unit known as the spark plug injector (SPI)."
http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/A_0766/article.html
Here's a rather unique feature of what is part of their "Saab Combustion Control System".........."At low load, the spark is fired from the central electrode in the spark plug injector to a fixed earth electrode at a distance of 3.5 mm. At high load, the spark is fired somewhat later, and the gas density in the combustion chamber is then too high for the spark to bridge a gap of 3.5 mm. A pin on the piston is then used instead as the earth electrode." Don't that beat all????
I found the read rather interesting. Don't know how the concept ever panned out.
Fly,
NGK's plug is for a direct injected engine. ESW's combined the injector with the plug. ESW's "is a Titanium based integrated fuel-injected spark plug." (patent # 6,073,607)
Reading the NGK link, I realized a couple attributes to ESW's idea that hadn't occurred to me before, that being the inherent cleaning and cooling of the electrodes during injection.
I wonder if the injector/plug has been given any further attention by ESW. They seem to be rather busy with the converter business coming to fruition. May still be on a back burner or shelf somewhere at present. But, the website claims, "Positive growth through diversification of the ESW product line." (http://cleanerfuture.com/companyprofile.htm) We may hear of it again.

That is great, LMAO.

EPA site with a little more info on their Clean Diesel Combustion.
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/technology/
Several pdf links on that page for further explanations.
A couple changes I see from current engines are the addition of EGR to lower the combustion temperature and a redesigned fuel injection system of some sort. The claim is reduced NOx. What about the other contaminants such as particulates, hydocarbons, CO, etc? http://www.epa.gov/otaq/technology/420f04023.pdf states aftertreatment still being used.
OT: I found the "Hydraulic Hybrid Research" of interest. Reminded me of having done a little DD on Shep Technologies (STLOF.OB). http://www.shepinc.com/
The sheriff in a small town walks out in the street and sees a blonde cowboy coming down the walk with nothing on but his cowboy hat, gun and his boots.
So the sheriff arrests him for indecent exposure. As he is locking him up he asks "Why in the world are you dressed like this?"
Cowboy says "Well, it's like this, Sheriff... I was in the bar down the road and this pretty little redhead asks me to go out to her motor home with her....and I did.
We go inside and she pulls off her top and asks me to pull off my shirt.....So I did....
Then she pulls off her skirt and asks me to pull off my pants.....So I did...
Then she pulls off her panties and asks me to pull off my shorts.....So I did...
Then she gets on the bed and looks at me kind of funny and says, Now go to town cowboy....
So here I am."
Nice close! eom
Do I get any extra point for my father having worked on the Inkspots car when they broke down passing through the area?
With the extra point, I'd be 18 for 20. Without, 17 and still older than dirt. Heck, when I was born, rainbows were still in black and white!
WHEN DOES LIFE BEGIN?
A minister, a priest, and a rabbi were discussing when life begins.
"Those of my faith," said the minister, "believe that life starts when the heart begins to beat."
"We take a different view," said the priest. "We believe life starts at the moment of conception."
"Well," said the rabbi, "it is our belief that life starts when the kids move out and the dog dies."

Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc.: Receives $1 Million Sales Orders for its ETV Canada Verified, Diesel Utility Engine Catalysts and Engine Certification Services
Tuesday February 1, 11:19 am ET
TELFORD, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 1, 2005--Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (ESW) (OTCBB:ESWW - News) announced that the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, ESW America (ESWA) has received Purchase Orders (PO's) totaling in excess of $1 million US dollars for its ETV Canada verified(a), high performance utility engine Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) branded "Quiet Cat(TM)" and Engine Certification Services.
ESWA has been supplying catalytic solutions and testing services to this customer since "Air Testing Services" (ATS) emissions lab took their first diesel engine through the US-EPA and California-ARB certification process. Certification by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) are mandatory Government requirements for any manufacturer or importer to sell their engines into the North American market. The government certifications for exhaust emissions compliance were achieved with the use of ESW's high performance DOC as the emissions control device. As such, the ESW catalyst became a permanent part of the certified configuration. ESW's Quiet Cat(TM) catalytic/muffler system reduced Particulate Matter (PM) and other toxic emissions as required to meet current government and state compliance standards. To date, "Air Testing Services" (ATS) has taken three (3) diesel and three (3) gas utility engines through full EPA/CARB government certifications programs for this customer.
ATS completed testing services, and ESWA delivered 10,000 units in December 2004. Manufacturing is currently underway for an additional 10,000 units needed to fill the most recent PO received in Jan, 2005. This latest order of Quiet Cat's(TM) is scheduled to ship in March 2005.
Mr. David Johnson, ESW's President and CEO commented, "We are pleased to see our long term customers continuing to purchase our proprietary Quiet Cat(TM) utility engine catalyst/muffler systems for their regulatory needs. We believe that the success of our engine certification program continues to develop into a solid foundation of growing customer sales for our unique small metallic catalysts product line."
Mr. Johnson further remarked. "We reported in November of 2004, ESW America, Inc. and its emissions testing division "Air Testing Services" is in the process of moving into its new World Class Tech Center located in Montgomeryville, PA. When complete in the first quarter of 2005, this new facility will house seven new complete engine dynamometer emissions test cells, including three specifically designed to service utility engine certification programs. We believe that these cells are needed to meet the increasing customer demand."
# (a) In April of 2004, ESW was invited by ETV Canada to attend the Globe 2004 hosted in Vancouver, Canada. At the event, ESW received its ETV Canada certificate from the then Minister of the Environment, his Honorable David Anderson, P.C., M.P. The ETV Canada certificate was for the Company's Catalyst/Muffler system Quiet Cat(TM). The Quiet Cat(TM) is the only diesel catalyst to be certified under the ETV Canada program, and was verified to achieve PM reductions of 67% by weighted average.

Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc.: Clean Cat'R' Catalyst's Installed Above the Arctic Circle
Friday January 28, 12:11 pm ET
TELFORD, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2005--Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (ESW)(OTCBB:ESWW - News) is proud to announce that its emissions pollution abatement technology has recently been chosen by VECO Polar Resources (VPR). VECO Polar Resources operates under a contract with the National Science Foundation as an Arctic Logistics contractor.
ESW's proprietary High- Performance Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) Clean Cat® is being used to assist in reducing toxic emissions from the jet fuel powered diesel generators at Summit Station, an environmental measuring and research station located above the Arctic Circle. These generators provide the essential electricity to power testing equipment and environmental resources for the Scientists living and working in this harsh climate.
Clean Cat® metallic High Performance DOC's were integrated into Fleetguard Nelson Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) mufflers. These Catalyst/Muffler combination systems were than fitted onto Perkins diesel powered generators as a direct replacement to their OEM mufflers. It was essential that the completed units maintain the original muffler shape and size, permitting direct, bolt-on applications without extended engine downtime or modifications to the existing environmental enclosures.
Mr. Tracy Dahl, VECO Project Manager remarked, "Summit Station is one of the most important environmental observatories in the northern hemisphere, The research taking place here tells us a lot about what is going on in the global environment. The Greenland Ice Cap acts like a sponge, absorbing pollutants created locally, as well as from distant lands. Basically, our own pollution was making it difficult to interpret the data being collected. In an effort to better meet the needs of the science research community, we needed to reduce exhaust emissions from our equipment. ESW was instrumental in working with us on this phase of a comprehensive emissions reduction program. The products they delivered were direct, 'bolt on' replacements, and the installation resulted in no down time on our power plant."
Mr. David Johnson, ESW's President and CEO stated, "What better place to see our unique catalyst products being put in service than the extreme conditions of Greenland's Arctic. Meeting the challenging needs of logistics companies such as VECO Polar Resources is another example of the diversified applications our proprietary catalytic systems can provide. These remote applications constitute one of the first cases of diesel emission control retrofit devices being deployed into the Greenland Arctic, and achieve yet another important milestone as we continue to forge the future of our Company."

Moral Woman
One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river.
When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My dear child, why are you crying?"
The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family.
The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble ringed with pearls."Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.
The seamstress replied, "No."
The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a silver thimble ringed with sapphires. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.
Again, the seamstress replied, "No."
The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.
The seamstress replied, "Yes."
The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.
Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, "Why are you crying?"
"Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!"
The Lord went down into the water and came up with Mel Gibson. "Is this your husband?" the Lord asked.
"Yes," cried the seamstress.
The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"
The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said "no" to Mel Gibson, you would have come up with Tom Cruise. Then if I said "no" to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said "yes," you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said "yes" to Mel Gibson."
The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others.
That's our story, and we're sticking to it!

That explains the aftertaste. LOL

AMISH WEDDING NIGHT
An Amish couple had just been married and went to a hotel for their wedding night.
The man went to the front desk, asking for a room. He told the clerk that it was their honeymoon, and they wanted a very nice room.
The clerk winked and asked, "Do you want the Bridal?"
The Amish fellow thought about it for a moment, then replied, "No I guess not. I'll just hold onto her ears until she gets used to it."
TECH SUPPORT
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in the performance of the flower and jewelry applications that had operated flawlessly under the Boyfriend 5.0 system.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.9, but installed undesirable programs such as NFL 7.4, NBA 3.2 and NHL 4.1. Conversation 8.0 also no longer runs and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate
Dear Desperate,
First, keep in mind that Boyfriend 5.0 was an entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system. Try to enter the command: C:/I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and install Tears 6.2. Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications: Guilt 3.3 and Flowers 7.5.
But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to default to such background applications as Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please remember that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will create Snoring Loudly. WAV files.
DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0. It could also potentially cause Husband 1.0 to default to the program: Girlfriend 9.2, which runs in the background and has been known to introduce potentially serious viruses into the Operating System.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have a limited memory and can't learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to enhance his system performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Single Malt Scotch 4.5 combined with such applications as Boob Job 3.6D and that old standby...Lingerie 6.9 (which have both been credited with improved performance of his hardware).
Famed TV Entertainer Johnny Carson Dead
Top Stories - Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Legendary television entertainer Johnny Carson has died of emphysema at age 79, the NBC television network reported on its Web site on Sunday.
Carson hosted NBC's popular "The Tonight Show" for nearly 30 years, long dominating late-night television with an estimated 12 million viewers each night. He did his final show on Friday, May 22, 1992, seen by 55 million, and was replaced the next Monday by the current host, Jay Leno.
Sidekick Ed McMahon introduced him nightly with the rallying cry of "Heeeeeeere's Johnny!" Carson's blend of humor, music and conversation was the last thing millions of Americans heard before drifting off to sleep.
"I am one of the lucky people in the world. I have found something I liked to do, and I have enjoyed every single minute of it," a teary-eyed Carson said as he closed the show for the last time. "I bid you a very heartfelt goodnight."
In later years, Carson became something of a recluse in his Malibu, California, home, rarely venturing into the public eye.
After a 1999 quadruple bypass heart operation, Carson cut back on his tennis and discontinued his annual treks to Africa, the French Riviera and the Wimbledon tennis tournament. He had battled emphysema for years.

It was snowing heavily and blowing to the point that
visibility was almost zero when the little blonde got
off work. She made her way to her car and wondered
how she was going to make it home.
She sat in her car while it warmed up and thought
about her situation. She finally remembered her dad's
advice that if she got caught in a blizzard, she
should wait for a snow plow to come by and follow it.
That way she would not get stuck in a snow drift.
This made her feel much better and sure enough in a
little while, a snow plow went by, and she started to
follow it.
As she followed the snow plow, she was feeling very
smug as they continued, and she was not having any
problem with the blizzard conditions. After quite
sometime had passed, she was somewhat surprised when
the snow plow stopped and the driver got out and came
back to her car and signaled her to roll down her
window.
The snow plow driver wanted to know if she was all
right, as she had been following him for a long time.
She said that she was fine and told him of
her dad's advice to follow a snow plow when caught in
a blizzard.
The driver replied that it was OK with him, and she
could continue if she wanted...but he was done with
the Wal-Mart parking lot and was going over to Kmart
next.
Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc: Secures 50 unit order for Level II Diesel Particulate Reactor for New York City Department of Sanitation
Wednesday January 12, 10:00 am ET
TELFORD, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2005--Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (ESW) (OTCBB:ESWW - News) announced today that the Company's proprietary Level II diesel Particulate Reactor(TM), has been selected for an advanced retrofit initiative with the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) and Clean Air Communities in Queens, NY.
The initiative, sponsored by the Queens Clean Air Project, a venture of Clean Air Communities established in 2003 that works toward cleaner air and more efficient energy in Queens neighborhoods, involves close coordination with ESW's North American retrofit distribution partner, Fleetguard Emissions Solutions (FES). Fifty (50) heavy duty catalytic converter mufflers will be installed onto waste hauler trucks (Model Year 2000 and newer) serving Sanitation Districts 1 and 3 in northwest Queens, New York. The ESW advanced catalyst product was selected due to its high particulate removal efficiency, overall emissions performance capability, maintenance-free design, and the catalyst's ability to work synergistically with ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.
ESW's catalyzed Particulate Reactor(TM) substrates will be intergraded into custom designed catalyst/muffler housings by FES, creating the finished product. The completed units will be installed as direct fit replacements to the trucks existing Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM) mufflers in the original muffler location.
Amy Boerger, Fleetguard Emission Solutions(TM) Retrofit Leader commented, "We are excited to work with ESW on our largest Particulate Reactor(TM) order to date. This marks the first step of our business relationship for similar orders in the Refuse Sector and other on and off road markets in scope and size moving forward."
ESW's proprietary catalyst technology, the Particulate Reactor(TM), employs a catalyzed wire mesh substrate to achieve a minimum of 50 percent reduction in Particulate Matter (PM) emissions, qualifying it for CARB Level II verification. The Particulate Reactor(TM) benefits from the torturous path gas flow created by the unique substrate design, whereby high catalytic surface area optimizes contact with the exhaust gases, providing Level II PM removal efficiency (50% or greater).
In September of 2004 ESW's Particulate Reactor(TM) became the first stand alone high efficiency diesel oxidation catalyst to be verified as a CARB Level II device. To date, no other catalyst manufacturer has received this status without the aid of secondary technologies, such as fuel modifications. http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/verdev/level2.htm
Mr. David Johnson, ESW's President and CEO commented, "It's an honor to be selected as the catalyst supplier for yet another prestigious catalyst application in New York. I consider these programs to be an important and essential part of the Company's future, and we continue to work diligently towards these specific and other global retrofit opportunities. High profile applications such as DSNY have the potential to attract new customers and bring market awareness to our unique catalytic solutions. Moving forward, I believe ESW will play an important role in helping to improve the quality of the air in New York by helping to reduce diesel engine emissions."
In June of 2004, ESW announced that it provided catalysts for the tower cranes responsible for rebuilding Seven World Trade Center site in New York. This high profile project was also performed with the collaboration of FES and New York distributor Cummins MetroPower.

She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its
valuables and yelled, "Stop! Acts 2:38!" (Repent and be
baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be
forgiven.)
The burglar stopped in his tracks.
The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had
done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked
the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady
did was yell a scripture to you."
"Scripture?" replied the burglar.
"She said she had an ax and two 38's!"

There is often much truth disguised as humor, eh. LOL
Had to search using Cole Porter to find it.
Maybe Google hasn't heard of Ethel Merman LOL
The Silent Sermon
============
A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending
services regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, the
minister decided to visit him. It was a chilly day. That
evening, the minister found the man at home all alone sitting by
a blazing fire.
Guessing the reason for his minister's visit, the man welcomed
him, and led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace and
waited. The minister made himself at home but said nothing.
In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames
around the burning logs. After some minutes, he took the fire
tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed
it to one side of the hearth all alone. Then he sat back in his
chair, still silent.
The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. As the one
lone ember's flame flickered and diminished, there was a
momentary glow and then its fire was no more.
Soon it was cold and dead.
Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting.
The minister glanced at his watch and chose this time to leave.
He slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it
back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow
once more, with the light and warmth of the burning coals around
it.
As the minister reached the door to leave, his host said, with a
tear running down his cheek, "Thank you so much for your fiery
sermon. I shall be back in church next Sunday".

SHOW ME THE $$$$$, HONEY
An Asian man walked into the currency exchange in New York with 2000 yen and walked out with $72.
The following week, he walked in with 2000 yen and was handed $66.
He asked the teller why he got less money than he had gotten the previous week.
The lady answers, "Fluctuations."
The Asian man stormed out, and just before slamming the door, he turned around and said "Fluc you Amelicans too!"

A woman meets a gorgeous man in a bar. They talk, they connect, they end up leaving together. They get back to his place, and as he shows her round his apartment, she notices that his bedroom is completely packed with sweet cuddly Teddy bears. Hundreds of cute small bears on a shelf all the way along the floor, cuddly medium-sized ones on a shelf a little higher and enormous bears on the top shelf along the wall.
The woman is kind of surprised that this guy would have a collection of teddy bears, especially one that's so extensive, but she decides not to mention this to him, and is quite impressed by his sensitive side.
She turns to him... they kiss... and then they rip each other's clothes off and make hot steamy love.
After an intense night of passion with this sensitive guy, they are lying there together in the afterglow, the woman rolls over and asks, smiling, "Well, how was it?"
The man says, "You can pick any prize from the bottom shelf. "
Good point, Chas.
I'll plead guilty as well. I did appreciate the link, though.
Back to the lighter side:
Thanks Bull,
I can't yet fathom the amount of devastation.
Dang, that clock is cool.
And a Blessed New Year to you, teapeebubbles, and to all who cross our paths in life.
To all, prosperity and joy in 2005.
Words adapated from a traditional song
by Rabbie Burns (1759-96)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.
We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.
And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne

Never drink more than you can stand.
When you can stand again, ok to drink again.
Seem to be working a little more than planned.
9 to 5 with weekends off, my a _ _ !
But, I'm thankful that I can still do it...and still enjoy it.
