The invention features methods and apparatus for obtaining silicon carbide whiskers on a continuous basis. Rice hulls or other carbon and silicon containing feed materials are continuously fed to a conversion zone in an unagitated state in order to promote whisker growth. The conversion zone is continuously purged, preferably with an inert gas such as nitrogen. The purging gas is vented directly out of the conversion zone and carries away gaseous reaction products and impurities, prevents oxidation of the whiskers and keeps glasses from condensing and depositing on the furnace surfaces. The feed materials are fed in a dry state to the conversion zone in order to prevent erosion of the furnace walls. After conversion and cooling the whiskers are separated from the mass of particulate silicon carbide. The whiskers find use as reinforcements.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 06/331,331, filed Dec. 16, 1981, abandoned.
This invention pertains to the production of silicon carbide whiskers and more particularly to a continuous process for obtaining silicon carbide whiskers from feed materials containing silicon and carbon.
Heretofore, the production of silicon carbide whiskers has always been achieved by batch processing methods. In one known process, rice hulls, a throw-away byproduct of rice refining, are known to contain both silicon dioxide and carbon in sufficient amounts to produce silicon carbide as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,754,076. Rice hulls are generally batch heated in an induction furnace to temperatures in the general range of 1600� C. to 2000� C. for several hours. During this time, the silicon and carbon combine to form a cake of both silicon carbide particles and silicon carbide whiskers. The whiskers are removed and separated from the cake by well known methods, such as froth flotation, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,293,099.
Silicon carbide whiskers can also be made by the batch heating of organic fibers blended with silica at temperatures of 1400� C. to 1700� C. as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,284,612.
These whiskers find important uses in the reinforcement of metals, plastics and ceramics.
It has been known that silicon carbide particles (as distinguished from whiskers) for use as abrasives can be produced in a continuous process. Canadian Pat. No. 544,597 shows a process in which mixtures of coke, sand and salt (the latter apparently as a catalyst) are moved through a furnace. The mass of materials moves about and expands substantially as the coke and sand react to form blocky SiC crystals. Exhaust gases evolved from the reaction are removed at the inlet end of the furnace. However, attempts to produce whiskers in continuous processes have not heretofore been successful. The reaction does not easily lend itself to continuous production methods, because continuous feeding of the coked rice hulls or other raw materials agitates the reactants, thus inhibiting the growth of the whiskers.
Attempts have been made by the present inventors to feed these materials on a continuous batch basis. Cylindrical graphite containers filled with coked rice hulls were pushed in a sequential manner through a heating zone. These graphite containers were used to maintain the feed materials in an unagitated state, while continuously traveling through a conversion furnace.
This initial process failed after several days of continuous operation. Analysis of the problem revealed that gaseous impurities emitted during the conversion process were condensing and forming glass-like deposits on the furnace and exit walls in areas whose temperatures generally fell below 1500� C. These glass-like deposits prevented the movement of the graphite containers, i.e., the deposits formed a friction surface against which the containers could not be fed.
Further, a problem was noted with moisture in the feed materials. Moisture present at temperatures necessary for whisker formation has the ability to erode furnace wall.
These two problems were resolved by utilizing a novel split purge technique. Feed materials containing silicon and carbon are continuously fed through a series of zones (or "furnaces"): dehydrating, conversion and cooling. The feed materials are passed through the conversion and cooling. The feed materials are passed through the conversion stage in a substantially unagitated state in order to promote the growth of whiskers. Inert gas is continuously forced into a heating chamber between adjacent dehydrating and conversion furnaces, such that: (1) the inert gas flows upstream through the dehydrating furnace to prevent moisture from traveling through the adjacent conversion furnace; and (2) the inert gas flows downstream through the conversion furnace to purge the gaseous impurities from the furnace before they can deposit on cooler surface areas.
The purging technique requires that the inert gas be pumped through the system under a constant head of pressure. Also, the exhaust gas pipes are constructed so as to vent directly from the conversion zone, so that hot reactive gasses evolved never reach or deposit as a film upon cooler surfaces.
The exhaust flue pipes can be constructed for quick detachment from the conversion furnace wall, so that continuous operation need not be interrupted during cleaning and maintenance procedures.
It is also contemplated by this invention to employ continuous systems designed about a continuous hearth or a continuous tunnel kiln. The continuous hearth system utilizes a continuously moving, one piece, annular, horizontal surface for carrying coked rice hulls through the various zones. The annular surface is made of a material having the capacity to withstand the conversion temperature of between approximately 1000� C. and 2000� C. Such a material can comprise a one piece, annular slab of graphite.
The tunnel kiln system comprises miniature graphite cars, which roll upon sets of wheels through the zones, or containers carried on a sliding surface, rollers, a walking beam, or other conveying means, all of which will be designed to operate in a manner which does not impart significant agitaion to the reactants.
While it is presently preferred to use the process employing cylindrical graphite containers, the continuous method of the invention is not meant to be limited by any particular apparatus or system design; the preferred and suggested embodiments are exemplary in nature and are meant only as a teaching of how the inventive method may be accomplished.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, this is the first time anyone has suggested or described a process or processes for producing silicon carbide whiskers on a continuous or substantially continuous basis. It is, therefore, believed that this invention makes a significant contribution to the art of silicon carbide whisker production.
It is an object of the invention to provide methods and apparatus for continuously producing silicon carbide whiskers.
It is another object of this invention to provide improved methods and apparatuses for increasing the throughput of silicon carbide whisker production..
These and other objects of this invention will be better understood and will become more apparent with reference to the following detailed description of the invention, considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings described below.
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a continuous bulk feed system for the production of silicon carbide whiskers in accordance with the invention described herein.
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of an alternative appartus to FIG. 1, using a rotary hearth system.
FIG. 3 is a schematic cutaway view of another alternative apparatus to FIG. 1, utilizing a tunnel kiln system.
For purposes of this invention, the terms "whiskers" or "silicon carbide whiskers" shall be defined as silicon carbide fibers, filaments or particles, or mixtures thereof, which are produced by a method or methods herein disclosed or suggested.
For purposes of this invention the terms "continuous" or "substantially continuous" are synonymous, and include a process which can be interrupted, or which allows for indexing or sequential movement of materials.
The invention relates to methods and apparatus for producing silicon carbide whiskers on a continuous or substantially continuous basis. Feed materials containing silicon and carbon are fed in an unagitated state and, in a substantially continuous fashion through a heating zone at a temperature and for a time sufficient to promote whisker growth. It is important to feed the materials in an unagitated state, in order to promote the growth of silicon carbide whiskers. When agitated, the feed materials do not effectively form long fibrous whiskers; rather the reaction products are the blocky abrasive particles of the type illustrated in the aforementioned Canadian patent.
The materials containing silicon and carbon can be rice hulls (which may be coked), a mixture of petroleum distillate and sand, etc. The process is not generally dependent upon the feed materials for its novelty, although coked rice hulls are preferred. For convenience, the description of the process set forth below will be exemplified by rice hulls.
The feed materials are first dehydrated in a dehydrating zone, wherein at least 99% of the water (by weight) is removed. Preferably most, if not all, of the moisture is removed to prevent erosion of the walls of the adjacent converting zone furnace.
The dried materials enter and are passed through the converting zone for a time in excess of one hour at a temperature in excess of 1000� C. The converting zone generally features a temperature range of from approximately 1000� C. to 1850� C. The converting zone is substantially continuously purged with a gas to drive off the gaseous impurities generated during whisker formation. The impurities are directly vented from the converting zone to prevent glass-like deposits from forming on cool surfaces, i.e., surfaces below 1500� C.
The purging gas preferably comprises an inert gas, such as nitrogen or argon. Other purging gases, or mixtures of purging gases, can be used, as long as they do not have a detrimental effect on the reactants, products or apparatus. It is also possible to use as a purging gas a reactive gas which enhances whisker growth or selected properties. The purging gas is usually introduced at the juncture between the dehydrating zone and the adjacent converting zone. The purging gas is split into two flow streams, such that part of the gas travels upstream through the dehydrating zone. This prevents the extracted moisture from entering the heating zone. The other portion of the purging gas is forced downstream into the converting zone, so as to drive off the aforementioned gaseous impurities.
The ports or vent pipes for discharging the gaseous impurities can be designed to be easily disconnected from the converting zone's furnace wall for the purpose of maintaining and cleaning these pipes.
Adjacent the converting zone, on the downstream side thereof, is a cooling zone for cooling the whiskers to ambient temperature without oxidation.
The apparatus for accomplishing the inventive process can be designed as a continuous bulk feed system or tunnel kiln having a number of containers or vessels moving in tandem through the various zones. The containers or vessels can be moved through the various zones by pushing on a sliding surface or by rollers, rail cars, a walking beam or other conveying means.
The apparatus can also be designed as a continuous rotary hearth system having a one piece annular belt which carries the feed materials through the heating states.
Now referring to FIG. 1, a continuous bulk feed system is shown. Rice hulls or other suitable silicon and carbon-containing materials are loaded into a number of cylindrical containers 9 which are stacked on a tray 10. Each cylinder is comprised of graphite material to withstand the high temperatures required for silicon carbide whisker growth. The bottom container 9 in the bottom curved portion 11 of tray 10 is pushed (arrow 12) into the mouth 13 of a dehydrating zone or furnace 14 by ram 15. After the bottom cylinder 9 is pushed into the zone 14, the ram 15 is retracted and the other cylinders 9 on tray 10 are each lowered (indexed) one cylinder width, such that a new cylinder 9 is then ready to be pushed into the dehydration zone 14.
The cylinders are each loaded with about five pounds of material.
The ram 15 pushes the cylinders 9 at a rate of approximately five feet per hour through the system.
Each cylinder 9 pushes the next cylinder ahead of it, such that there is a continuous succession of cylinders 9 traveling through the system, as shown in the cutaway section of the system by arrow 16.
The dehydrating zone 14 has a temperature range from approximately 600� C. at its entrance to approximately 800� C. at its exit, as shown.
The dehydrating zone 14 drives off most, if not all, of the moisture in the rice hull materials, so that the moisture will not erode the furnace walls 17 of the subsequent conversion zone or furnace 18.
After the rice hulls have been dried in the dehydrating zone 14, they enter the conversion zone of furnace 18, where whisker growth occurs. The conversion zone 18 is a high temperature heating zone, wherein the silicon and carbon react to form silicon carbide. The materials traveling must move through the converting zone in an unagitated state, in order to promote the growth of the whiskers.
The conversion zone 18 subjects the dried rice hulls to temperatures in the range of approximately 1000� C. at its entrance to approximately 1850� C. at its exit. These temperatures are sufficient to promote whisker growth. The zone 18 is heated by an electrode receiving approximately 15 volts and 5000 amperes.
Each container 9 takes approximately one or two hours to travel through each zone of the system. Each furnace or zone (dehydrating, conversion, etc.) has a length of approximately 10 feet and therefore requires about two hours for a complete passage of each container at a speed of 5 feet per hour. These zone lengths and speeds are variable, depending upon the amount of materials passing through the system and the dimensional scale of the system.
After the whiskers have been formed in the conversion zone 18, the containers enter a cooling zone 19. This cooling zone 19 reduces the temperature of the whiskers and containers back to ambient. This cooling takes place in an atmosphere which will prevent oxidation of the whiskers and containers as they cool.
At the juncture (arrow 20) between the dehydrating furnace 14 and the conversion furnace 18 is situated a gas inlet 21. Gas is constantly pumped through inlet 21 (arrow 22) into the inner chamber 23 of each furnace, i.e., the gaseous flow is split into two streams 22a and 22b, respectively. Stream 22a flows downstream into the conversion zone 18 and purges this zone of gaseous impurities evolving from the reaction of the rice hulls. These gaseous impurities are caused to flow (arrows 24) to the vents 25 which are located directly in the conversion zone. The location of vents 25 is critical. If the gaseous impurities cool below 1500� C., they will condense and solidify into a glass-like substance which can impair the operation of the furnace by causing a frictional drag upon the containers. Thus the movement of containers will be impeded. Also, this glass-like substance can clog the vents and other furnace parts.
The vents 25 must be located directly in the conversion zone in order to insure that the gaseous impurities are purged from the system before solidification can occur.
Vents 25 can be designed to easily disconnect from the furnace 18 for purposes of cleaning or repairing the vents 25 without the need for interrupting the operation of the system.
The purging gas is fed to the system at a continuous rate of 50 to 100 cubic feet per hour. The purging gas can be an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon, or another gas to promote whisker growth. Also, a mixture of gases may be used, one of which may be inert.
The stream 22b of the purging gas flows upstream into the dehydrating zone 14 and carries the extracted moisture way from the conversion zone 18. This prevents the moisture from entering and eroding the furnace walls in the conversion furnace.
The containers 9 exit from the cooling chamber 19 as shown by arrow 26. The product whiskers contained in the containers 9 can now be removed from the containers and separated from the cake of silicon carbide particles by solid-liquid extraction.
Referring to FIG. 2, a continuous apparatus for producing silicon carbide whiskers is illustrated in schematic. The apparatus of FIG. 2 features a rotary hearth system. The rotary hearth system has the same dehydrating zone 14, conversion zone 18, and cooling zone 19 as does the apparatus of FIG. 1. These zones are purged with inert gas 22 in similar fashion as the system of FIG. 1.
The difference between the rotary hearth and the bulk feed system is a continuous feed of loose materials through the system. This is accomplished by a continuously rotating (arrow 29) annular, one piece belt or slab 27 of graphite which carries the rice hull material 28 through the processing zones 14, 18 and 19, respectively. The slab 27 is caused to rotate by a number of drive rollers (not shown).
The whisker material 30 emerging from the cooling zone 19 is scraped from the slab 27 by a knife edge or blade 31.
The raw stock (e.g., rice hulls) may be gravity fed (arrows 32) to the rotating slab 27 by a funnel-shaped chute 33, as shown.
Referring to FIG. 3, a tunnel kiln system is schematically illustrated. In this system, a series of railway cars 35 are rolled through zones 14, 18 and 19, respectively. Each railway car is filled with coked rice hulls or similar materials prior to entering the processing zones. Each railway car 35 is tip-unloaded at the exit of zone 19. All other operational conditions are similar to those described for FIGS. 1 and 2. The railway cars 35 may be loaded by a funnel-shaped chute (not shown) similar to that shown in FIG. 2.
The following example is an actual account of material being processed by the apparatus and system depicted in FIG. 1. Coked rice hulls were placed in graphite containers and fed continuously into a silicon carbide converter system. The coked rice hulls were fed at a rate of six pounds per hour. The converter system comprised a preheater/dryer section, a high temperature converter section, and a cooling section. The preheater/dryer section heated the coked rice hulls to a temperature of 800� C. with a residence time of 1.5 hours to remove moisture. This section was purged with nitrogen and separately vented to prevent moisture from entering the high temperature converter section. The preheater containment was an Inconel muffle heated externally be electric resistance furnaces. The converter section heated the coked hulls under nitrogen purge by direct low voltage resistance heating of a graphite muffle to a temperature ranging from 1500� C. at the entrance to 1800� C. at the exit with a residence time of 1.5 hours in the 1500�-1800� C. range. This section was vented out the side to exhaust the purge gas and reaction product gases including carbon monoxide and other volatile products. The cooling section was a water-cooled shell purged with argon which cooled the containers and converted material to ambient temperature during a residence time of 1.5 hours. The converted material product was produced at a rate of 2.5 pounds per hour, and comprised approximately 15% silicon carbide whsikers, 60% silicon carbide particles, and 25% residual carbon.
Having thus described the invention, what is desired to be protected by Letters Patent is presented by the appended claims.

As far as bridal gowns are concerned, a lady is a bit more conscious about it than a man. However, a lot of women now select made-to-order facilities on-line to get one of the most anticipated designs of dresses in their monetary strategy.

I really only asked the question for peace of mind. But this narrow definition masks the fact that the bulk of money laundered is the result of tax evasion, tax avoidance, and outright tax fraud, such as the "VAT carousel scheme" in the EU (moving goods among businesses in various jurisdictions to capitalize on differences in VAT rates). The tow company wasn't interested in the fact that we had a valid parking permit.

Movie Reviews
'Dumb and Dumber To' Review
As a 12-year-old boy when the original Dumb and Dumber was released during the 1994 Oscar season, I was more or less the target demographic. And while the Farrelly Brothers, Jim Carrey, and Jeff Daniels were snubbed at that year's ceremony—thanks, Forrest Gump—my fondness for the picture has only grown in the subsequent 20 years.
'Interstellar' Review
A character named Cobb in Christopher Nolan's little-seen debut feature, Following, is a thief. He breaks into people's homes and takes what possessions he can sell. But he's also an anthropologist, a self-styled student of the human condition. While working with an apprentice of sorts, he explains that everyone has "a box."
'Birdman' Review
Odds are audiences will notice that Birdman or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance doesn't quite feel like any other film they've seen. But they may not be sure why, at first. Constantly in motion, yet contained almost entirely within and around a smallish Broadway theater and a nearby bar, Birdman will feel to them fluid, alive, and ethereal—different from most big screen fare.
'John Wick' Review
'Fury' Review
'The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Her/Him' Review
It starts with a suicide attempt.
We see Eleanor (Jessica Chastain) cross a bridge in the New York, first on a bike, then on foot, then up and over the chain link fence. She survives, is met by her sister Alexis (Nina Arianda) in the hospital, and is taken home to Connecticut to recuperate. She wants space from her husband, Conor (James McAvoy).
'Gone Girl' Review
'The Equalizer' Review
Every few years, we're treated to the perfect marriage of utterly generic material—usually in the guise of a revenge-style vigilante flick, sometimes with a twist or two thrown in—with a great, Oscar-caliber actor. The best example in recent years is Taken, of course, but The Brave One and Jack Reacher also fit comfortably into this category. The Equalizer, starring Denzel Washington, is firmly rooted in this tradition and the flick delivers exactly what its ad campaign has promised: Denzel stoically, unstoppably kicking butt for the betterment of all mankind.
'Tusk' Review
A few years back, Kevin Smith threw what can only be described as a snit fit regarding the critical reaction to Cop Out (2010). A rather dreadful, wholly generic, and utterly unfunny buddy "comedy" starring Bruce Willis (who reportedly walked all over Smith on set and mailed in his performance) and Tracy Morgan, critics savaged Cop Out.

The Impending Terrorist Threat – We Must All Be Prepared & Able to Protect OurselvesSubmitted by TishaTCasida on Wed, 12/19/2012 - 10:36
Since there are many (unconstitutional) government agencies and departments who are now monitoring every State citizen's actions and communications (without a warrant – an explicit intrusion of our 4th Amendment rights and privacy rights) in the name of protecting us all from the impending terrorist threat, I have decided that it is absolutely necessary to make sure individual citizens can protect themselves from terrorists, because there are simply not enough federal, State, and local law enforcement officials to protect every, individual citizen.
There are simply not enough police officers, and other law enforcement people, to protect every citizen individually from terrorists – foreign and domestic. Because there are not enough, and because our country does not have enough money to hire a law enforcement official to protect every individual equally, the only solution is to allow individuals to protect themselves.
In the name of Homeland Security, and in an effort to protect our States' citizens from terrorists, we must protect our rights to bear arms and protect our own life, the lives of our families, and the lives of our fellow countrymen. It is the right thing to do because of the impending threats that are touted daily by our federal governmental institutions and the large news networks that are an effective media arm for those institutions. When no one else can protect you (and calling 911 rarely prevents crimes), you must protect yourself.

Very well done! I stopped fearing "terrorists" after I figured out 9/11 was a lie and lost my irrational fear of every other boogieman when I stopped watching TV a few years ago.
The ONLY people I now fear are the thugs that continue to be enforcers for the criminal elite. The only State enforcers that get a pass are officers and soldiers that are members of Oath Keepers.
Thank you Tisha

When we were in Red Bay AL a few weeks ago, we took a day trip to Shiloh National Military Park in Tennessee which also included some time at Corinth, Mississippi.
Our first impression was that is had some similarities to how Gettysburg National Military Park is set up, though a much smaller version. It has cemetery area, lots of monuments and a driving tour through the property.
We went over to the Visitor's Center, saw a video and learned of Grant's victories at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson before heading toward his next objective at Corinth. He landed his troops at Pittsburgh Landing (Shiloh).
read the article here. That was fun and an added bonus.
Next our driving tour where we tried to image the flow of the battle and skirmishes.
Shiloh was an critical location for the Union forces to secure in the bid for the important Confederate railroad junction at Corinth, MS 23 miles to the Southwest. The battle at Shiloh was the beginning of a six-month siege at Corinth to take control of the railroad and supply centers.
I had started the book months ago but am currently in the process of finishing Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant - (his autobiography). Very interesting reading. Grant was injured when his horse fell on him during the heavy rains and heat of the battle. The battle at Shiloh (or Pittsburgh Landing) on the Tennessee River was the first major battle won in the Western Theater.
On April 6 and 7, 1862 Union forces (65,000) under U.S. Grant and D.C. Buell were surprised by those of A.S. Johnston and P.G.T. Beauregard (40,000). Combined dead approached 24,000. Hard to fathom what war is like if you've never been in one. Union forces prevailed at Shiloh while the Confederates retreated toward Corinth.
After our driving tour around the battlegrounds, we had lunch under a big shade tree at what was once Pittsburgh Landing.
Inside, it was a collection of good displays and information that told the story of Corinth and its key role in the Civil War.
To the South, it was a vital distribution and supply point at a junction of rail lines going North and South (Ohio and Mobile Railroad) as well as another railroad route going East and West (Memphis and Charleston Railroad).
Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard again suffered defeat from Union forces, this time under Gen
Henry Halleck. However, he was able to pull off a hoax and escape in the night prior to the arrival of Union forces. He boarded the Ohio and Mobile Railroad along with his soldiers, artillery guns and a large amount of supplies.
It was a great battlefield to see for the first time and I'm glad we took the time to spend some time there. The National Park Service has done a nice job with it. My main take away from this and Vicksburg the better understanding of Gen Grant and how he rose to prominence in the Civil War. That has always been a mystery to me.
Thanks for joining us today on the Roadrunner Chronicles. Until next time...

Fresh: Style over content, sure, but what style...
- Adam Smith, Empire Magazine, Wednesday, July 14, 2010
Fresh: It is a dark, lurid revenge fantasy and not the breakthrough, star-making movie some people have claimed. But it is a genre film of a high order, stylish and smooth.
- Caryn James, New York Times, Tuesday, May 20, 2003
Audience Reviews
A stylish, abnormally dark and dreary tale of a rock musician (the late Brandon Lee) who comes to life exactly a year after the death of he and his fiance in order to enact revenge on those that were responsible. What could have just been another forgettable, B-grade exploitation flick is enhanced by stunning visual flairs, as well as a rare passionate lead performance. It really is a shame Lee died before he got to see the final cut of this film, since he is simply sensational for every minute of its running time. Of course, it goes over-the-top throughout and its nihilistic, dystopian society that the original comic book painted starts to wear on one after a while, but these flaws are minor. If anything, see it for Lee's spirited performance, as well as some fantastic action scenes and some eye-popping visuals.

The Crow was a fun revenge movie. Sometimes the movie felt silly, but then The Crow killed more people and I felt better. The plot is simple enough, and its fun. The acting was good, but nothing groundbreaking. This movie is also a great superhero movie and a great trinute to Brandon lee. Overall I liked it, but I didn't think it was terriffic.

Midwest premium,
aluminum prices,
CHICAGO Midwest aluminum premiums have ticked up on low primary aluminum prices, stable demand from end-users and traders, and tight scrap supply.
AMMs P1020 Midwest premium now stands at 11.5 to 12 cents per pound, up on the low end from 11.35 to 12 cents previously.
Business levels picked up in recent days due to low prices for primary metal and a contango on the London Metal Exchange, some traders said.
"When the price is lower, people arent focusing as much on the premium ... so 11.5 (cents) is no big deal," one trader said.
Thats especially true in a market that appears to be "squeezed," the trader said. "You still have metal going to warrants and there is a contango at least until June, so people are bullish on premiums," he said. "Whether (premiums) stay up I dont know, but for the time being, theyre strong."
Market players generally pointed to solid demand from the aerospace sector, firm demand from automotive and a slowly but steadily improving building and construction market as bolstering premiums.
Still, some sources fretted that physical demand had hit a plateau. Demand has "flatlined a bit relative to the last couple of weeks," a second trader said, but added that even if demand has slowed, a tight domestic scrap market has provided a boost to premiums. "There is very little scrap available, so there are a number of customers that need to buy primary aluminum to cover (their requirements)."
Scrap flows had been held in check by winter weather complicating logistics and low prices on the LME making some scrap suppliers less willing to part with stocks linked to LME tags, one market source said. The LME price for primary aluminum is improving, as is the weather, so those factors could fade into the background, he added.
The LMEs cash primary aluminum contract ended the official session at $1,938 per tonne March 14, down 0.4 percent from $1,945.50 per tonne the previous day but up 2.2 percent from $1,895.50 per tonne March 11.
But offshore demand, especially that from China for zorba, should keep scrap prices elevated, the market source said. "Everyone keeps talking about how bad China is," he said. "They might be using less virgin metal, but I think they are using just as much scrap as ever."
Some market sources continued to express concern about whether historically high premiums would be sustainable, given a backwardation in forward spreads on the LME.
"Whats going to be interesting it to see what happens with these spreads over the second half of 2013," one producer source said.
If the backwardation eases, premiums could increase further; but if it becomes more pronounced, premiums could tumble, he said.
Global stocks in LME-listed warehouses stood at 5.17 million tonnes at the close of business March 13, down from 5.19 million tonnes on March 6, the highest level thus far this year.

I have a set up from Williams (plastic "fermentor" primary and priming bucket) and my priming bucket has a large crack in it. Is there any sort of preferred method for repairing the crack? I'd rather just glob something on it (or even duct tape it, but I don't think that would be beer-tight, or sanitary) than buy a whole new one. I use a carboy for a secondary, so the only problems using the fermentor for priming are having to tilt to get the last bit out and if I ever want to do more than one batch at a time I will have no where to put the the sugar as both fermentor and secondary will be full.
I still can't believe SWMBO actually encourages me to make beer. :)
The preferred method is to throw it out and get another one.
Buy another one. It's not worth the time or effort and will not be sanitory or easy to clean.
yeah.. i think they are like 12 bucks... dont risk it.. buy a new one or a carboy or hell, even a better bottle!
I'll fourth the advice to toss it - anything you do to seal it up won't be all that smooth, and will be likely to harbor infections. Not worth risking however much you spend on ingredients to avoid buying a new bucket.
Bin de bin.
I'd salvage the spigot and buy a new bucket. There are epoxies that would probably work, but you would always have a cleaning and contamination problem. IF you had the right kind of heat gun, you could repair the crack, but if the bucket has one crack it is just an matter of time before more develop.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
I had a cracked bucket a few years ago. I ended up using it to store some of the greatgrandkids smaller toys in it. Stores well in the closet afterwards too.

AR-10One of G3, M14, and FAL's classmates. Obviously based on the American AR-10, which means that she's related to Ichihachi, at least on her non-Japanese side. Featured in Upotte Nano.
LF-59AR-10's friend, and yet another of G3, M14, and FAL's classmates. Based on the Italian Franchi LF-59, which is derived from the FN-FAL. She takes over for G3 during the Enoshima trip when the former is forced to attend remedial classes. Featured in Upotte Nano, as well as the main manga.

Another of G3's younger sisters. Despite being an elementary-schooler, she has the same height and figure as a middle-schooler. Based on the German HK53.
Tampi/TMPAug's younger sister, and the "boss" of the grade school dorm (much to Uzi's chagrin). Blunt and more than a little too sure about herself and her sister.
Voiced by: Takayuki Kondō (Japanese), David Matranga (English)A human middle school teacher who teaches modern literature. Despite specializing in Japanese literature, he's apparently not Japanese himself.
Ms. Fujiko

Ms. Thompson
Voiced by: Sayaka Ohara (Japanese), Cynthia Martinez (English)An elementary school teacher. Based on the American Thompson sub-machine gun.
Unaligned Rifles
Type-64The personification of the Japanese Howa Type 64 Battle Rifle. As she is chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO rounds, this means she is on the same year level as G3, FAL, and M14. Assumed to be one of Ichihachi's cousins on her Japanese side. Featured in Upotte Nano.
Type-89The personification of the Japanese Howa Type 89 Assault Rifle, and younger sister of Type-89. Since she uses 5.56mm rounds, this puts her in the same year level as Funco, Elle, Sig, and Ichiroku. Assumed to be one of Ichihachi's local cousins. Featured in Upotte Nano.
AR 70/90An assault rifle who met up with the friends on their trip to Enoshima. While being a gun personification like Funco and her friends, the school that she goes to is a normal public school, meaning that it's attended by human students. She seems to have a history with Funco, which makes things awkward when around her. She obviously is based on the Italian Beretta AR 70/90 [1].
SPAS 12A friend and classmate of AR 70/90, who meets up with the main cast at Enoshima. She is the personification of the Franchi SPAS-12 [2], a combat shotgun from Italy.

It's a Travelodge...Posted Nov 16, 2014
Pros: I met a very friendly member of staff in the lift, unfortunately by that time it was far too late.
Cons: Shower, A/C, TV channel selection and AV input options.
Location: Very close to Hyde Park and the CBD.
One doesn't expect the earth, but hot water is a must. I managed only one hot shower in three nights. That and the shower would drip incessantly. The air conditioner did not manage to get close to the selected temperature.

Well located in the downtown area.Posted Nov 12, 2014
Pros: Staff, service, room comfort, & location of the hotel.
Cons: Everything was fine, other than the hot water problem, which was probably just for my room only & is fixable.
Location: Conveniently located to all the major attractions. It's advantageous to be located so centrally in the downtown region.
This hotel is well located in the downtown area. Because of the location, I could walk to all the major attractions in the downtown area without having to use transit. It takes less than 30 minutes to walk very casually to the farthest point of any major attraction. The price is reasonable and the staff & service is excellent. The only thing I encountered during my one week stay is that it sometimes takes a while for the hot water to come when I shower. The soap dish also fell off due to the rusting of a screw holding it in place. The soap dish is an easy fix & I'm sure the plumber or maintenance staff can fix the hot water problem in the room that I stayed at. Otherwise, I was happy staying there and I plan to come back in the future.

Good location but has bugsPosted Nov 6, 2014
Pros: The location
Cons: The rooms need renovating and fumigating!
Good location, close to the CBD, hyde park and trains. Room was small. There were cracked/broken tiles on the floor at the kitchenette and in the bathroom, so it distracted from the rest of the room. Beds not comfortable and there was no spare linen etc (i.e pillows) in the room. When sharing the room with someone and both of you only have one flat pillow each, it makes for a uncomfortable night with a very sore neck the next day. There were also LOTS of fruit fly looking bugs in the shower/bathroom. I had notified reception staff of this, who sent a cleaner up to deal with the infestation. When the cleaner turned up, I explained the situation...however I'm not too sure how much he understood. I went out for the day and returned in the afternoon to the infestation still there, still flying and crawling around in the shower and bathroom! Quite disappointing and really didn't make my stay very pleasant!

James Youngblood, CEO, Heart Rhythm Society, saw many sides of the hospitality industry throughout his early post-grad days.
After grooming horses at a racetrack, owning a natural foods restaurant in the Ozark Mountains and working as a catering manager at an Omni in Texas, James eventually transitioned to a position in the meetings industry at the American Heart Association.
The new position provided plenty of professional development opportunities. James managed all of the meetings and education for more than 200 meetings each year at the AHA, including an Annual Meeting with more than 30,000 attendees. However, he was still searching for more than his current career path was offering, and his involvement with PCMA gave him one of the most important intangibles in career growth: the power of perspective.
Bringing Leadership Skills to Life
"PCMA gave me the opportunity to truly see myself as a leader," James says. "Until I began to get involved in committee work, I hadn't made the connection that I could fill a true leadership role."
After serving on a range of committees, James eventually stepped into the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors – a role he says inspired him to accept his position as CEO of the HRS.
"Working with the Board was the most collaborative and committed vision I've ever seen," James says. "There was a real sense that we were doing something that mattered to the future of the organization. On a personal level, it helped me understand how to make my career shift from meeting leadership to organizational leadership."
Powering the Future with the PCMA Education Foundation
Today, James continues to contribute his knowledge to PCMA through his continuing work with the Foundation Board.
"It's an exciting time for the Foundation," James says. "We're clear about the role of the Foundation, how it supports the work at PCMA and how all of our donors can make a difference for the future of the industry."
James' passion for PCMA makes him a natural fit for the founding donor class of the PCMA Education Foundation Legacy Society.
"I believe in PCMA. I believe in what it does. I believe in the potential that it gives to its members," James says.

WinStar Farm announced Monday two new additions to their stallion and WinStar Stablemates divisions, both with extensive international experience. Effective September 3rd 2012, Chance Timm will assume the role of Stallion Season Sales and Leanna Packard as StableMates Coordinator and Bloodstock Assistant.
Chance Timm, the son of a jockey, is a graduate of the University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program and Darley Flying Start Program. His early industry experience includes an internship with Vessels Stallion Farm, working on the starting gate at a race meet, and galloping and starting young horses. More recently, Timm gained international sales and bloodstock experience working for Tommy Eastham and Mark Toothaker as well as for John Fulton, who described him as "a complete horseman with a tremendous future in this industry."
Gerry Duffy, WinStar's Stallion Seasons Director, said, "As we grow our Stallion Roster, we want to provide the level of service our clients are accustomed to. Chance and Leanna come to us with energy, excitement and passion about this business and we look forward to having them on the team."
Ohio native Packard, a lifelong rider, is a graduate of Ohio State University. She worked for Richland Hills Farm in Kentucky, focusing on stallion nominations, mare bookings, stallion books, and sale contracts. Packard gained her international experience working the 2012 sale season for Eliza Park Stud in Australia. Richland Hills' Corey Johnson described Packard "as a hard worker, with great initiative and drive that would be an asset to any organization."
