What is the difference between a feedwater heater, and a super heater?;
In a feedwater heater, you're preheating the feedwaterbefore it's boiled to make steam. With a superheater element, you're heating the steam that's already been made. Feed water heater is the big barrel-y boil on top of the smokebox, it heats water from the tender before it gets put into the boiler so that heat isn’t lost trying to heat that cold water up to temp. Superheatersare steam pipes that run INSIDE the fire-tubes (flues) and the steam that is going to the cylinders gets heated way above 100c (what it would usually be) making it more efficient.
Given the benefits of a feedwater heater the obvious question is: "Why didn't all steam locomotive have them?" The answer is: Because railroads had to weigh the cost of higher maintenance against the price of fuel. Sometimes, the cost of fuel was simply cheaper than the cost to maintain them.
There are two main types of feedwaterheaters: open and closed
Feedwater is always preheated equiped with a live steam valve, the purose of wich is to automatically heat the feedwater with live steam from the boiler, when exhaust steam is not available .- this prevents cold water from entering the boiler when exhaust steam is not available

Losing about one a month these days. Many more are hanging on by a thread. About 2/3 are younger than I am.
That's the effect you have on people.

The drag queens doing The Last Supper was also a crowd pleaser.
Imagine if they did it in blackface instead of femface.

Holy Father, the only true physician of our souls and bodies, who cast down and lift up, accept me as I come in all humility to glorify you and thank you for preserving, by your grace, your servant through his recent operation.
We thank you for blessing the attending physicians and the means employed for his cure, and for restoring him safe and sound to his family and Church, having fended off every danger against his (her) body and soul.
Raise him speedily, we pray you, from the bed of illness on which he lies and return him to his home and peaceful pursuits. Grant that the suffering of his body may avail for the purifying of his soul and may lead him to return, in thanksgiving, to the works of his hands and to Christ Jesus, the Physician of soul and body.
Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on us and save us. Amen. -
Interesting that you mention a horse.
That mechanical horse was pretty darned cool. Same for the entrance to the stadium and the flag bearers falling in behind the real horses.
So, mostly weird (I did like Lady Gaga, and the body suit in the fashion show) the first 3 hours, but this might pull it up to an overall C+.

A couple of days ago on a FB thread about the Olympics I made the comment that the opening ceremonies would likely look like they were designed by a committee composed of Bosch, Picasso in his later years, Dali, and Escher.
They seem to be living down to my expectations.-

I did and I really got confused, there's not much info to tell you about the 2 FA. Oh well I gotta go now. I'll be back later.
Basically, change your password then wait for the rollout of the 2 step verification thing.

Why? Did the plane leak gasoline fumes into the cockpit?
Just about all fighters of that era had fumes of avgas, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids the cockpit.
Add in the extra O2 and you have a situation where an open flame might not be conducive to a long and happy life.

O Lord Jesus Christ our God, Who did patiently endure the scourging and wounding of Your most holy Body, that You might save the souls and bodies of Your people, look graciously, we beseech You, upon the suffering body of this Your servant and give him strength to endure patiently whatsoever You shall see fit to lay upon him. Bless the means employed for the working out of his cure, granting that he may so endure his sufferings in the flesh that the wounding of his body may be to avail for the correcting and salvation of his soul, for Yours it is to show mercy and to save, O Christ our God; and to You do we send up Glory, as to Your Eternal Father and Your All‑Holy, Good and Life‑creating Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

That tree is right off of Hwy 50. It was knocked down during one of the 3 hurricanes that went through in one month in 2004. I used to drive by every month on the way to the Lake Co. Pistoleros CAS match.
Glad to see it's still doing good.
50 goes through Yolo, Sacramento, and El Dorado counties. Not even close to Lake County.

Don't have a clue about the language you are using.
Well, you should understand "Browser" and "Settings" and "Password Manager."
Other than that, "create a list of your sites and passwords" Do it in Word and I think you can sort alphabetically.
As to the list of obsolete cartridges, here are some possible sources. From the site on which I found the example. I put the sources in Bold:
3. Each cartridge in the list is followed by initials referring to a published source whose description may be accepted as the norm for each round. These are as follows
B – “Cartridges of the World”, by Barnes
D – “Cartridges for Collectors”, by Datig (three vols)
ECRA-“European Cartridge Research Association Data Viewer”
E&B – “Manual of Pistol and Revolver Cartridges”, by Erlmeier and Brandt
H – “The History and Development of Small Arms Ammunition”, by Hoyem (volumes two and three)
Hu –“Military Rifle and Machine Gun Cartridges”, by Huon
W&M – “Pistol and Revolver Cartridges”, by White & Munhall, single volume edition by Bearse.

What about the folks(like ME)that can't remember their password for this site?
In the Settings for your browser there should be "Password Manager." You ought to be able to find it there.
Next, create a spreadsheet for all your passwords and populate it with all your passwords.
Then, find a list of obsolete European cartridges and pick something like 11.15mm x 36R Fruhwirth and change it to 11_15mmX36RFruhw1rth, change your password and enter the new one into your spreadsheet.

The slide is forged. The barrel is forged. Some internal parts are forged.
The slide and some internal parts are likely Metal Injection Moulded with some minor machining to within tolerance.
The barrel might be from a forged billet that is machined.

I got that one. I'm talking the other 6, below the radio and next to the ignition.
Ah! One for each wiper, one for each fan, one is a lighter, and the one to the left of the switch is the choke.
Just my guess.

I know this is sorta Alpo-esque. But, what are the weird gold (brass) studs, with weird clear plastic geometric shape covers, stuck into the dashboard??????
My guess is that is a fancy texture on the ashtray, the plastic is the pull.

ONE OF THE OLDEST CARS IN THE WORLD, 1887 De Dion, Bouton et Trepardoux steam quadricycle carriage.
As steam engines reduced in size and improved in efficiency, a number of attempts were made to built a steam powered carriage. De Dion, Bouton and Trepardoux developed this steam powered carriage in 1887. Several examples were built. In 1889 Bouton saw a petrol engine at the Paris Exhibition and recognized that would be a more effective power source. De Dion Bouton went on to become a pioneering auto maker.

Olympic Opening Ceremonies
in SASS Wire Saloon

OK, to be fair to it, that mocking of the Last Supper, was only a tiny portion of the 5 or 6 hour program. Most of the rest was just the general French glitteraty passion for being weird and avant gard.
No, they wouldn't dare mock mohammedeans that way, nor would they think about using blackface instead of femface.
But there were some fantastic routines in the men’s gymnastics qualifyings, the mixed air rifle was impressive, and the women's kayak slolum is amazing.
