Didn't want to assume, I thought the boys might be embarrassed by their hillbilly roots... regards, Graham Collins Senior Process Engineer Sunsel Systems (902) 444-7867 Note: new address!

Both the boys come from a long line of gnome "shiners". A few of the lesser talked about branches of the family are actually claimed to have taught the hillbillies how to make shine centuries ago. Family tradition is that Clumpy's family was the original brewer of Aquavit. Kloumpios's family the original brewer of Ouzo. Maybe they will come up with a uniquely Canadian drink for you. Soctian, perhaps. Doug Pauls Principal Materials and Process Engineer Rockwell Collins On Fri, May 19, 2017 at 12:58 PM, Graham Collins <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Awesome! The guys can help me with some thermal profiling work, and maybe I will get them to help out with my "non-day-job" enterprise, setting up a craft distillery. The boys know anything about running a still? The steam lines are run but we need to get the chiller hooked up to the condenser... regards, Graham Collins Senior Process Engineer Sunsel Systems (902) 444-7867<tel:%28902%29%20444-7867> Note: new address!

This element's primary allotrophic form sublimates, meaning it changes from a solid to a vapor skipping its liquid state. It can be recovered from copper and lead smelting flue dust.This element quite toxic with several commercial insecticide and herbicide applications although it was eaten during the Victorian era for a very short period of time. In the US, the maximum limit of this element in drinking water is 10 ppb. What element is being described? The Answer: The element is Arsenic (As)! Arsenic was an element known to the ancients with its name being derived from the Latin word "arsenicum" or the Greek word "arsenikon or the Arabic word "azzernikh". Gray arsenic sublimates. Pressured treated wood used an arsenic compound up until around 2003 when a voluntary phase out of the practice was implemented - the arsenic compound was found to leach into the soil over long periods of time/environment exposure. During Victorian times an arsenic compound was mixed with a vinegar/chalk mixture then eaten to improve skin complexions - the practice didn't last long. The winner of the quiz is Graham Collins, Sunsel Systems and will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. Graham just edged David Bealer for responding with the correct element. So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following: Past Quiz winners/tasks: Week 1 Ravinder Ajmani, Western Digital Week 1 Ron Feyereisen, SigmaTron Intl. Week 2 Louis Hart, Compunetics Week 3 Mark Kostinovsky, Schlumberger Ltd. Week 3 John Burke Week 4 Drew Meyer, Benchmark Electronics Week 5 No Winner - no correct responses! Week 6 Bhanu Sood, NASA Week 7 Keith Calhoun, Sopark Corp Week 7 Ian Fox, Rolls Royce Week 8 Leland Woodall Week 8 David Bealer, SMT Week 9 Tom Carroll, Boeing Week 10 Louis Hart, Compunetics Week 11 Tom Carroll, Boeing Week 11 Scott Decker, UTAS Week 12 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld Elektronik PCB Design and Assembly Week 13 No Quiz, Week 14 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld Elektronik PCB Design and Assembly Week 15 Bhanu Sood, NASA Week 16 John Maxwell Week 17 Leland Woodall Week 18 Leland Woodall Week 19 Tom Carroll, Boeing Week 20 Robert Kondner Week 21 Tom Brendlinger, ClearMotion Inc. - Up here at ClearMotion, I've got a board to design... but our recruiter wants us looking through resumes instead. I think the boys can do that for a while, and when they're done with that, they can start cutting out molds for my upcoming cedar strip canoe. Week 22 Carl Van Wormer, Cipher Engineering LCC - After feeding them all weekend, I put the boys to work soldering the battery leads (Pb-Free, of course) onto ShortSniffer boards. They were so efficient with those little fingers twisting the wire ends, they got the next 6-months production done in 4.5 hours! I gave our minimum wage technician a pink slip, telling her to re-apply in September. They had big smiles on their faces as I put them on a plane to Disney World, giving them each 3 all-day passes (after warning them to stay away from Snow White). They should be well rested for the next Element Quiz winner. Week 23 Juliano Ribeiro, DATACOM - assisted with ???? Week 24 Gerry Gagnon, FLIR Commercial Systems - assisted with ???? Week 25 Graham Collins, Sunsel Systems - assisted with ???? I hope everyone has a awesome week!
