s.Where all the talking ends.Her right front leg is shredded.Flesh falls from her face, exposing teeth and gums in a perpetual bite.County Animal Rescue staff who admit her in April 2005.The boys, ages 9 to 14, face two dogs nose to nose and release them.Blood sprays as the losing dog howls.Jeff Dorson crouches in the shadows.After 15 minutes, the boys yank their limping dogs away on heavy chains.Dogfighters convene in empty homes, garages and warehouses or remote parks and barns to play their dogs in makeshift arenas hemmed in plywood walls.Professional dogmen are akin to the Mafia, bestowing to the illicit activity a set of generally accepted rules.The dog who turned gets 10 seconds to cross the line and clamp down on his opponent (a scratch).Unlike career dogmen, hobbyists rarely vie beyond the local level.But they do adhere to the precepts of a refereed brawl.Street fighters ignore rules and bloodlines, preferring the big fierce dogs symbolic of gang culture.Many are restless kids drawn to the thrill of an illegal blood sport.Dorson formed League in Support of Animals (LISA) to lobby for stronger animal protection laws and track cruelty cases in the field.At least there is a case.Even with detailed documentation, New Orleans police simply call Animal Control to come euthanize the dogs.Animal fighting arrests are tricky.By the time they take action, the match has disbanded.But in late 2004, Louisiana State Police arrested over 125 dogfighters and seized 680 dogs in 16 months.Dog compounds are outfitted with restraining tables, treadmills, and wooden ramps.Dogs are fed steroids and hormones typically acquired on the black market.Cats, rabbits, small dogs, or chickens are strung to a pole and twirled like toys until the dog fatally mauls them.The stealers tend to be bored teens in an urban hierarchy where tough dogs elevate status.Rottweiler mix with skin slashed off her face and a shepherd mix whose penis was fragments.Ears are bloody stubs and some faces are so lacerated dogs can hardly breathe.So they discard him in a trash heap or barren building to starve to death.Dogs abandoned on the streets are at the mercy of humane societies and animal control.Children, who often take part as spectators, fighters, or runners for the betting operation, are desensitized to animal suffering and criminality.Some question the validity of Dorson, Duffy, Brownstein and others devoted to eradicating dogfighters in a world plagued with weightier problems.What kind of society do we become if our children lose their humanity?If your state only has misdemeanor dogfighting penalties, urge your STATE legislators to make this crime a felony.Click on your state to see animal fighting statutes and provisions where you live.YOU take action for animals.Please keep Kinship Circle in mind when you donate.The indifference of the suffering is so hard to imagine or justify.The bull breeds have enough troubles without piling this on them.HAVE ALSO COME TO THE POINT WHERE I RESPECT ANIMALS MORE THEN PEOPLE.....Welcome to the Best Friends Network!Join the Best Friends Network today!Mission: Teaching people to understand, love, protect and nurture the animals of our world.About Don Beck
ExpertiseAny question on home electrical installations,problems,or changes.If you need an answer within a few hours go to my personal web site.Subject: Underground Wiring
QuestionQUESTION: I have an underground circuit running from my home to the barn (30 yards away).My problem is how do I remove the pump wiring from the main line?I've heard of a product called "capsulate or encapsulate" but I'm not familiar with it.I'm told to make the connection in a plastic bucket, fill it with the capsulate, and bury it.It will be permanently sealed from the weather.Can you tell me the best way to proceed?Thanks

ANSWER: Hi David,
How is the splice made at this time from the main feed, to the pump and to the barn?QUESTION: Don,
Yes it's in a metal junction box inside the pump house.Can't leave the junction box out in the open so I'd like to dig down to the main wire and splice directly to the barn.I'd need to seal the wiring splice somehow (underground).Any advice would be appreciated.The About logo is a trademark of About, Inc.Geophysicists from the Department of Earth Sciences and the Bureau of Mineral Resources have discovered part of a huge underground circuit near Broken Hill (Australia), which contains electric currents of more than a million amps.These are created in response to electrical events, such as thunderstorms and the movement of dissolved salts in artesian water.In other words, could our planet be a huge natural battery based upon geochemical differences?Catastrophism, archaeoastronomy, ancient history, mythology and astronomy.The journal of intelligence and political conspiracy (CIA, FBI, JFK, MI5, NSA, etc)
Homeworking.Free resource for people thinking about working at home.It's fun for a while, but it's too arcadelike for its own good, and it really only lends itself to short amounts of time spent playing.The problem is that it's far too arcadelike for its own good, and it really only lends itself to short amounts of time spent playing.After a few races, you'll start to notice problems, the most obvious and detrimental of which is the terrible rubber band AI.You start off with access to only a few, which can be selected to take part in the main mode of the game, the underground circuit.The same principle is used in the underground circuit of Test Drive.There are a number of races that take place in each city, though not all of them have you trying to win someone else's car.Placing in the top three will allow you to move on to the next race and, more often than not, unlock a new car.That opponent will return in the next race, of course, but he'll be in a different car the next time around.There are also police officers and traffic involved in each race, which makes things more interesting.In the underground mode, you'll assume the role of a character who's a bit down on his luck.Having been beaten out of the underground circuit, you'll find your saving grace in the form of another racer who needs your help.Due to an injury, he can't drive, but he's more than willing to back you with money and cars.And that's all you really need to know about the story, if you even need to know that.Play a game of Pong while the next level loads.The single race has a bit more meat to it than the other modes, as it contains five different variations.There is a linear race, which is usually a longer track with a definitive start and finish.The navigation challenge mode has you racing alone through a city at high speeds as directional arrows pop up at the last second before a turn.Graphically, Test Drive does its job well.The cars look nice and the tracks do a good job of reflecting the cities they're mimicking.Surprisingly, some of the tracks are pretty true to life, though some creative license has been taken.Typically, there is a fair amount of traffic on the road when you find yourself racing during the daytime.Nighttime tracks are more sparsely populated, but they have pretty decent lighting effects.Overall, the Xbox version of the game has a smoother look to it than the PlayStation 2 version.The sound is where Test Drive starts to betray some weakness.Unfortunately, there isn't a way to make your own playlist.While many of the songs are quite cool to listen to, they may eventually get on your nerves as you listen to them over and over again.The real problem is with the actual sound, however.Put simply, the cars don't sound like real cars.However, here it makes for more frustration than enjoyment.They'll try their best to knock you off the road or steer you into oncoming traffic, leaving you no choice but to do the same.This can be fun, admittedly, but not often.In one race, you can be doing great, making excellent time and not wrecking at all, while in another you'll be crashing into everything that moves and constantly getting busted by the cops.If you can overlook the cheap AI, you'll probably enjoy Test Drive.WRITE YOUR OWN REVIEW Be the first one to rate this product!An underground coal fire is smothered by

coal fires are burning the residual coal in abandoned mines.Noxious gases are generated without control from such fires, resulting in a hazardous environment in the vicinity of each fire.Further, the fires consume large quantities of coal and thus create void space underground which in time will result in subsidence of the overburden.Such subsidence often opens cracks from the surface of the ground into the underground coal.The sequence of events leading to fire need not begin, however, with a temperature nearly so high.Other unplanned ignition of a coal deposit can occur as a result of grass or brush fires, warming fires kindled by persons outdoors on a cold day, lightning striking the earth and the like.When an underground coal deposit is ignited it will burn to resource exhaustion if oxygen remains available.One simple way of stopping the fire is to cut off the oxygen supply, for example by piling dirt over each conduit to the fire.Should the underground hotspot gain a new source of oxygen, such as rain washing away the dirt cover or new cracks forming from subsidence, the fire will rekindle.All such methods involve costs without offsetting revenues.Such disruption adds to the costs of controlling the fire.It is an objective of the instant invention to teach such methods.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As in the methods of the prior art, the methods of the instant invention begin with a survey of the extent of the underground fire, together with a survey of its likely extent if allowed to proceed unchecked.Limits of the project area can then be established taking into account the costs of disruption of normal surface activities, the amount of coal available for conversion into commercial products, the costs of such conversion and the expected revenues to be derived.Generally, modifications to this natural sequence of events are required for control purposes.In many cases all sources of air intake are not apparent by simple observation.Conversely, some conduits used to expel the products of combustion also may not be apparent at pressures near atmospheric pressure.Further, the natural conducts for intake and expulsion are generally unsuitable for efficient conversion of the products of combustion into commercial products.It is desirable that the overburden above the coal be as uniform in thickness as is practical.In this manner many, if not all, of the original natural conduits to the fire will be sealed.Due to the higher pressure underground these unplanned conduits are generally easy to locate, although the exact orientation of each conduit may not be apparent.The unplanned conduits oriented in a generally vertical direction can be sealed by injecting a mud slurry into the conduit until sufficient hydrostatic head pressure is established to offset mine pressure.For unplanned conduits oriented in a generally horizontal direction, a series of vertical wells is drilled into the overburden in an alignment generally perpendicular to a line from the surface vent to the fire zone underground.Mud slurry is injected into these wells to mud off the active conduit and the adjacent permeable areas of the overburden, and preferably a hydraulic head is maintained on the mudded off conduits.The aforementioned production wells are drilled generally in a vertical direction from the surface of the earth through the overburden and into the fire zone.Suitable wellhead fixtures are installed on the upper end of the casing to permit injection and withdrawals of fluids through the casing.The hermetic seal between the atmosphere is accomplished by the wellhead fixtures together with the column of mud slurry located in the annulus between the casing and the well bore.In this mode the casing in each production well is relatively free to elongate or contract with changing temperature.Each production well is equipped so that it may be used as an injector for fluids or as a withdrawal well for the recovery of generated fluids.In the early stages of production it is desirable to alternate the use of the production well from producer to injector, for example operating a well as a withdrawal well for a five minute time period, then operating the same well as an injection well for a similar time period.In this manner the temperature of casing can be limited to desired levels.Looking first at the two well system, preferably each well is equipped to perform a dual role, which is to say that one well serves as an injector well and the other as a withdrawal well with the capability of reversing roles.Further capabilities include the ability to operate in an oxidizing environment through a portion of the underground circuit and in a reducing environment through the balance of the underground circuit.Still further capabilities include the ability to operate in a reducing environment through a portion of the underground circuit and a pyrolyzing environment through the balance of the underground circuit.With the underground coal fire hermetically sealed from the atmosphere and two communication passages established between surface facilities and the underground fire, remaining coal can be converted to commercial products under controlled conditions.In the most elementary form copious quantities of air may be injected with hot gases withdrawn.These hot gases would be commercially useful primarily for the sensible heat they contain, but also may have further commercial use as reducing agents when reinjected through the underground circuit.For example in the first pass through the circuit using an air blast the withdrawn gases (nitrogen, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide) would be stripped of a portion of their sensible heat and then be reinjected through the circuit for a second pass.Carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide both are products of commercial significance.With the second well located in the circuit between the first and third well an additional reaction can be attained by injecting steam in the second well.Similarly when the hydrogen to carbon monoxide ratio is adjusted to three to one the resulting feedstock can be converted to methane.Further capabilities can be attained by locating one of the wells in the coal outside the fire zone.Gases released by pyrolysis are generally both condensible and noncondensible, with the condensible gases being rich in mixed coal chemicals and the noncondensible gases being a fuel gas with a heat content in the order of 500 BTU per standard cubic foot.Thus the overburden will become stabilized and upon completion of the project the surface area can be reclaimed for permanent productive use.Each well is hermetically sealed and contains a well head that is equipped with a flow line.Flow line 18 contains valve 19 so that the flow line may be engaged in the process or shut off from the fluid flows.Flow line 20 contains valve 24.Well 13 also is hermetically sealed and is equipped with a wellhead containing flow line 23 which contains valve 22.With all wells shut in and the coal fire zone bereft of oxygen, reactions with the coal are substantially terminated.The coal fire zone 16, sometimes called the reaction zone, is at relatively low gas pressure, for example in the order of 15 psig.The underground processes may resume by injecting oxidizer, for example compressed air, through well 13 via flow line 23.Prior to burn through, the injection pressure in well 13 must be relatively high, for example approximately 1 pound of pressure for each foot of overburden depth to the coal.Valve 21 should be opened to the extent necessary to maintain sufficient back pressure to yield the desired mine pressure, for example 50 psig, in reaction zone 16.With a copious supply of injected air the return gases through well 12 would be nitrogen, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide.At this point the migrating gases are substantially all nitrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide.The gases released by pyrolysis will enrich the migrating gases which are then captured at the surface.In time channel 17 will be substantially enlarged and may be no longer suitable for the pyrolysis reaction.After channel 17 has been significantly enlarged, a third procedure may be undertaken.Air injection is terminated and followed immediately by steam injection into well 11.Steam reacts with the incandescent carbon to form equal parts of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, both gases of commercial significance.The steam injection, sometimes called the steam run, is continued until the coal is cooled below incandescent temperature, for example a run of 10 minutes.Initially the gases collected at the surface will be a mixture of the gases of the air blow and steam run, but within a short time, for example approximately one minute, the air blow gases will be purged from the underground circuit and the gases arriving at the surface will be substantially all carbon dioxide and hydrogen.These gases are particularly useful in manufacture of a host of commercial products in surface facilities.These gases are even more useful when the ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide is adjusted, for examples two parts hydrogen to one part carbon monoxide for the manufacture of methanol and three parts hydrogen to one part carbon monoxide for the manufacture of methane.When the coal becomes incandescent the air injection is terminated followed immediately by a steam run.The steam injection is continued through well 11 until the underground circuit is purged of the gases generated in the air blow.At this time the gases of the underground reaction will be substantially hydrogen and carbon monoxide in equal parts.In the water shift reaction steam reacts with the hot carbon monoxide to yield hydrogen and carbon dioxide.With the hydrogen already in the underground gas stream plus the hydrogen generated by the water shift reaction plus the oxidation of a portion of the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, the ratio of the accumulated hydrogen to that of the residual carbon monoxide can be adjusted significantly from the original ratio of one to one.The air blow continues until the coal becomes incandescent, the air injection is terminated followed immediately by the injection of the said products of the reaction that had been saved at the surface.Such reinjection in the absence of oxygen creates a reducing environment in the reaction zone and causes the reinjected carbon dioxide to reduce to carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide to reduce to hydrogen sulfide.Such subsidence results in significant ground shifts that can destroy well casing that is cemented in place.Such protective pipe may be cemented in place or the annulus between the well bore and the protective pipe may be tamped with well cuttings to hold the pipe in position.The height of the column of slurry is maintained with due regard for the amount of gas pressure the seal must withstand.In the third phase, the well is deepened into the coal seam.Also the casing has a cushion of slurry to accomodate movement of the overburden without placing undue stress on the casing itself.While the instant invention has been described with a certain degree of particularity it is recognized that changes in detail of structure may be made without departing from the spirit thereof.
