![]() ![]() The top casted piece of a yard hydrant can come in many shapes and sizes, yet all serve the same basic purpose. There are 3 major parts to all hydrants: Yard Hydrant Head Each hydrant brand has unique features and different appearances. The most common yard hydrant brands are Woodford, Merrill, and Simmons. Above the valve piece, is the drain hole where the excess water drains out when the hydrant is not in use. ![]() Below it, the pressurized waterline is ready to dispense water when opened. This valve piece is where the water shuts off. It may crack or burst if frozen causing an underground water leak, which is a massive headache to fix. The bottom valve assembly on a yard hydrant cannot withstand freezing temperatures. The frost line varies from 0 to 8′ depending on the maximum frost depth in the region. The water lines need to be buried deep enough to prevent them from freezing. Yard hydrants attach to a pressurized water line from either a private well or a public water supply. Proper installation is key to having a long-lasting hydrant that doesn’t cause problems. The greatest benefit of a yard hydrant is that it will drain itself when turned off, so the pipe won’t freeze during any harsh weather conditions. A yard hydrant is part of your plumbing that allows you to have water to an outdoor location. All of these refer to the same piece of plumbing. As a result, frost proof hydrant offer many advantages and should be considered when selecting a yard hydrant for your home or business.Yard hydrants have gone by many names: frost-free hydrants, freeze-free hydrants, yard hydrants, water hydrants, and outdoor hydrants. They are also easier to install and maintain than traditional yard hydrant designs. In addition, frost proof hydrants are less likely to leak, making them ideal for areas where water conservation is a priority. This allows water to drain out of the hydrant, preventing ice from forming in the body of the hydrant. Frost proof hydrant designs prevents freezing by placing the valve and drain at a level below the frost line. The most obvious advantage is that they are less likely to freeze in cold weather. So why wait? Shop online today and experience the superior quality and performance of Merrill hydrants!įrost proof hydrants offer many advantages over traditional yard hydrant designs. Whether you need a yard hydrant for your backyard or farm, or a commercial-grade hydrant for your campground project, Merrill has the perfect solution for you. Merrill hydrant products are built to last and provide reliable water access throughout the year. Designed to withstand freezing temperatures and harsh winter conditions.

If you’re looking for a reliable way to provide water access for your campground or RV park, look no further than a frost proof hydrant. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The film is enchanting in its mordant way until, unfortunately, it arrives at its third act. The Queens, the Mad Hatter, Alice, the Knave of Hearts ( Crispin Glover) and presumably Tweedledee and Tweedledum are versions of humans the others are animated, voiced with great zest by such as Stephen Fry (Cheshire), Alan Rickman (Absolem the Caterpillar), Michael Sheen (White Rabbit), Christopher Lee (Jabberwocky), Timothy Spall (Bayard) and Barbara Windsor (Dormouse). ![]() To be sure, the insecure White Queen doesn't exhaust herself in making Alice welcome. The Red Queen wishes her ill, and the White Queen ( Anne Hathaway) wishes her well, perhaps because both are formed according to the rules of Wonderland queens. This is a Wonderland that holds perils for Alice, played by Wasikowska with beauty and pluck. Whoever he plays (Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, Ichabod Crane), he is that character through and through. The ringleader is the Mad Hatter, played by Johnny Depp, that rare actor who can treat the most bizarre characters with perfect gravity. Do they reproduce? Most species seem to have only one member, as if nature quit while she was ahead. At the moment of truth in the wedding ceremony, she impulsively scampers away to follow another rabbit down another rabbit hole and finds below that she is actually remembered from her previous visit.īurton shows us Wonderland as a perturbing place where the inhabitants exist for little apparent reason other than to be peculiar and obnoxious. When we meet her again, Alice has decidedly mixed feelings about her original trip down the rabbit hole, but begins to recall Wonderland more favorably as she's threatened with an arranged marriage to Hamish Ascot ( Leo Bill), a conceited snot-nose twit. (The landscape was designed by Robert Stromberg of " Avatar.") Why you can see the sky from beneath the earth is not a fair question. Wonderland itself is not limited to necessary props, such as a tree limb for the Cheshire Cat and a hookah for the Caterpillar, but extends indefinitely as an alarming undergrowth beneath a lowering sky. They're grotesques, as they should be, from the hydrocephalic forehead of the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) to Tweedledee and Tweedledum ( Matt Lucas), who seem to have been stepped on. These are not retreads of familiar cartoon images. He brings to Carroll's characters an appearance as distinctive and original as Tenniel's classic illustrations. ![]() No artist who can create these images is enhancing them in any way by adding the annoying third dimension. It was a wise idea by Burton and his screenwriter, Linda Woolverton, to devise a reason that Alice ( Mia Wasikowska) is now a grown girl in her late teens, revisiting a Wonderland that remains much the same, as fantasy worlds must always do.īurton is above all a brilliant visual artist, and his film is a pleasure to regard I look forward to admiring it in 2-D, where it will look brighter and more colorful. " Alice" plays better as an adult hallucination, which is how Burton rather brilliantly interprets it until a pointless third act flies off the rails. It reminds me of uncles who tickle their nieces until they scream. There's even a little sadism embedded in Carroll's fantasy. Tim Burton's new 3-D version of "Alice in Wonderland" answers my childish questions. ![]() ![]() If you have already purchased a Season Pass on the account you're logged in to, you will not be charged again.ģ) Once the "Season Pass" has finished downloading, return to the main menu of Borderlands 2.Ĥ) From the main menu of Borderlands 2, select "Downloadable Content."ĥ) Any available "Season Pass" content should now be listed as "Free" allowing you to download and install any applicable add-ons through the "Downloadable Content" menu at no additional charge.

![]() ![]() To control motor speed, the tuner uses a high stability oscillator (at least, for the time) that drives a bipolar stepper motor, and each note on the selector has an individual resistor to trim the speed exactly. ![]() The schematic even shows which board each part is on (dotted outlines), which is especially useful because there is no silkscreen or part markings on the boards, and it includes some of their design considerations - using low current noise resistors on the audio input line and using high stability, low leakage capacitors on a few key components used in keeping tuning frequency stable. It helps in understanding the design and troubleshooting or refurbishing to have the schematic available, and it is available online, including here. The reference pitch vernier is marked in cents, but you can use it to play with a non A=440 reference pitch, for example, if you set it to be just over 7 cents high, you will be effectively playing with an A=442 reference pitch. Conversely, if you set the vernier to 12 cents low, when you play your not a major third below and see the ring stop moving, you'll be playing the note in tune with equal temperament. This is an artifact of equal temperament and the harmonic series, so if you play your note 12 cents sharp, that ring will stop moving, because you will be fitting in the just intonation of the major third. Interestingly, when playing the major third below the note the selector is set to, you will see one ring telling you that you're playing flat, even if you are playing the correct pitch. ![]() ![]() Because the motor speed has to be precisely controlled to measure against a fixed reference, you have to change the note dial (centermost large dial) when tuning other notes, but because the harmonics show, you can still get good tuning information on the perfect fourth and fifth of whatever note the tuner is set to - the patterns will still be visible and will stop moving when the note is in tune. The rings on the disk match up to different sounding octaves, so the higher the pitch being measured, the higher up on the disk the pattern will seem to slow or stop moving, and because the tuner measures all of the incoming audio, you will typically see multiple rings looking active - higher harmonics in the sound will show, usually more faintly, on the other rings of the tuner disk. If the markings are moving to the left, your note is flat, if they are moving right, your note is sharp, and if they appear but are not moving at all, you are perfectly in tune. You set the note you want to play, make sure the vernier knob is set to the right reference pitch, and then play your note - when close to the right pitch, you will see some of the markings on the disk get darker. It sounds complicated, and I suppose it is, but the circuitry involved is comparatively much simpler than other electronic tuners, so when electronics were comparatively primitive, it could be an extremely accurate instrument without too much electronic complexity. This is the same sort of effect you can see watching a video of a driving car's wheels, where the wheel seems to rotate quite slowly, but in this case, the designers have done all the math needed for the speed of the motor and the patterns on the disk to look like they stop moving when the incoming audio frequency is in tune. When the rotation speed of the disk, which has its speed precisely governed by a separate circuit, and the speed of the flashing of the light match up in the right way, it looks like the markings on the disk are moving very slowly, or not at all. What that means is that a strobe tuner converts an audio input into a blinking light - neon lamps in this one - and shines it on a wheel with patterned markings that a motor is spinning at a constant speed. How a strobe tuner works: A strobe tuner, at least traditional ones, is an electromechanical tuner that relies on the strobescopic effect (surprise surprise!) for its display. I replaced a few parts, made a couple modifications, and added an internal mic to make it quicker to setup and use. In developing my own precision tuner and being interested in strobe tuners, I found a working-but-needs-refurbishment Peterson Model 400 inexpensively on ebay, so I bought it with the intent to fix it up, calibrate it, and use it. ![]() ![]() His 2014 adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl claims one of the spots in the top 10.

It is a movie of silence, of snow-muted sounds and colors. It is a brutal, cutting film-its pacing is incredibly suspenseful and the acting (often stony), is pitch-perfect. But the neighbors are resistant to her attempts to pry into her father’s life-and she is emphatically discourages by her uncle, a conflicted meth addict named Teardrop (John Hawkes) from searching any further. When her family is threatened with eviction, she decides to track down her father. She serves as the primary caretaker for her whole family-her drug-dealing father has disappeared, and her mother suffers from mental illness. Based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell and released in 2010, it is the story of a teenage girl named Ree (Jennifer Lawrence, before her rise to fame and giving the best performance of her career) who lives in the Ozark Mountains with her mother and younger siblings.

We just wanted to pick the best movies.Īs with the previous lists, the top ten big screen adaptations were chosen after a lengthy debate among the Literary Hub staff.

WHO IS WATCHING PORN?" Another profile was equally as shocked, writing: "Nah this is happening on the big BBC the porn sound prank is on repeat."
