The third volume of the collected works of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi covers his work on the application of flow in areas that go beyond the field of leisure where the concept was first applied. Based on his personal experience with schooling and learning, as well as that of many others, and contrary to what Cicero claimed, Csikszentmihalyi arrived at the conclusion that instead of taking pride in making the roots of knowledge as bitter as possible, we should try to make them sweeter. Just as flow became a popular and useful concept in voluntary activities, it could likewise be applied in education with the end result of young people being more likely to continue learning not just because they have to but because they want to.
This volume brings together a number of articles in which Csikszentmihalyi develops ideas about how to make education, and more generally the process of learning to live a good life, more enjoyable. Since theory is the mother of good practice, the first eleven chapters are devoted to theoretical reflections. Some are general and explore what it means to be a human being, what it means to be a person, when we look at life from the perspective of flow. Others are more narrowly focused on such topics as consumption, education, teaching, and learning. They help laypeople reflect how they can arrange their lives in such a way as to leave a small ecological footprint while getting the most enjoyment. The second section of the volume contains a dozen empirical articles on similar topics. They deal with the development of identity and self-worth; with the formation of goals and motivation; with loneliness and family life.

The Sub PMC identifies itself, under class, as being an instance of the Class class.
Querying the Sub's Class for available attributes ($class.inspect('attributes')) returns a hash just chock full of goodness.
Sadly, attempting to request those attribute from the Sub doesn't work.
I believe that Sub should deliver on its promises, and provide the getattribute interface.
Alternatively, if Sub is going to require inspect to fetch the data, then the PMC class should not report those fields as attributes.

Faux Chef Lael's Note:
This was a real hit with my family! This recipe will make a large pan of casserole, so you may want to cut it in half. It's a great, savory meal all by itself, but it would also make a nice side dish for the holidays or be perfect for a pot luck. I made it in the middle of the winter for a cozy dinner side, and used up some shredded zucchini that I had frozen from the garden. To make it a little healthier, try substituting low-fat or fat-free ingredients.
My Private Note
Units: US | Metric
- 8 cups zucchini, coarsely shredded (do not squeeze out juice!!)
- 8 links sweet Italian sausage (removed from casings or use bulk, approx 1.5 lbs)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 10 ounces carrots, shredded (appprox 2 cups)
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 12 ounces herb seasoned stuffing mix (2 boxes, I used Pork Stove Top)
- 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (can also use cream of celery or broccoli)
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
- 1Line your largest baking pan with heavy duty foil or lightly spray with cooking spray.
- 2Preheat a skillet on medium high, add all the butter and let it melt, do not brown. Saute the onions and carrots until the carrots are translucent but not mushy. Pour into a large mixing bowl. There will be a lot of melted butter in the onion mixture, this is necessary for the stuffing.
- 3Using same skillet, crumble and brown the sausage (be sure to remove the casings). drain off the grease and add to the onion mix.
- 4To the bowl, add all the remaining ingredients and stir well. You will not need to add any water.
- 5Move the mixture to prepared baking pan. Bake at 350 for one hour or until golden brown on top. If using optional cheese, add to the top in the last 5-10 minutes of baking, Cheese should be fully melted before serving.
- 6You may make this ahead and freeze, or freeze in portions after it is already baked.

The bank has taken steps to provide services through insurance and health insurance schemes, said V.S. Krishnakumar, its executive director.
Speaking after inaugurating the bank's e-lounge unit near the central bus stand on Saturday, he said the bank had been launching awareness programmes to sensitise the masses to the importance of health insurance scheme. The bank ensured health care facility to the needy at the Apollo Hospitals. Mr. Krishnakumar said the e-lounge would offer services such as automated teller machine (ATM), cash deposit facility, cheque deposit unit and passbook printing kiosks.
Mr. Krishnakumar inaugurated the bank's branches at Orathanadu in Thanjavur district, Sirkazhi in Nagapattinam district, and Tittakudi in Cuddalore district.

Vice Mayor Roxanne Qualls is asking the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to stop the sale of 748 housing units to a New York company — potentially preventing a repeat of a similar sale back to 2007 that led to dropping property values in the area.
In a press release Tuesday, Qualls argued that locals should be given the opportunity to purchase the project-based Section 8 housing in Walnut Hills, Avondale and Millvale. Currently, HUD is bypassing local communities with plans to sell the housing to a corporation controlled by the Puretz family of Brooklyn, N.Y.
"Cincinnati's residents are still recovering from the massive disinvestment that was allowed to occur with an eerily similar situation in 2010," Qualls said in the release, referring to a similar sale that culminated in a huge drop in property values between 2007 and 2010.
In 2007, HUD sold 618 subsidized housing units to NY Group
OH 1 LLC, a company with no previous housing experience in Cincinnati,
according to Qualls' release. As the 2008 financial crisis and Great
Recession pulled down the global economy, property values dropped all
around the nation, but things went particularly south in NY Group's
Cincinnati buildings. The owner eventually defaulted on the housing
units, and Fannie Mae foreclosed in 2010.
Property values went from $21.5 million to $7 million between 2007 and 2010, when the units were sold in a sheriff's sale. In that time period, the buildings blighted, with residents complaining about deteriorating structures, broken lighting, bed bugs, cockroaches and mold. In one case, an apartment's restroom ceiling reportedly collapsed.
Qualls is focused on preventing more blighted buildings: "Preservation of the housing in good condition is vital to the improvement of our neighborhoods. Our neighborhoods cannot afford to have more blight brought on by an absentee owner. Because these properties are supported by government funding, it is vitally important that HUD get public input from the City of Cincinnati and Avondale, Walnut Hills and Millvale residents and stakeholders about this proposed new transfer of HUD funded properties before making any further decisions."
Qualls has invited the local HUD field office director to the Feb. 26 Livable Communities Committee meeting to discuss the sale. She has also written to other HUD officials, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, U.S. Sen. Rob Portman and Rep. Steve Chabot to prevent the sale.
Ohio State Board of Education President Debe Terhar posted an image of Adolf Hitler on Facebook that said, "Never forget what this tyrant said: 'To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens.' — Adolf Hitler." But the Cincinnati Republican, who was referencing President Barack Obama's gun control proposals, now insists she was not comparing Obama to Hitler. It's pretty obvious she was, though.
Cincinnati's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate dropped to 6.7 percent in December, down from 6.9 percent in November. The drop is largely attributed to a decrease in the civilian labor force, which could imply less people are looking for work or seasonal changes are having an impact. Whatever the case, the amount of people who are employed and unemployed both dropped. Hamilton County's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate dropped to 6.2 percent in December, down from 6.4 percent in November, but that drop was also attributed to a declining labor force or seasonal factors. Greater Cincinnati's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was unchanged from 6.4 percent, despite 2,600 less people working. In comparison, Ohio's seasonally unadjusted rate was 6.6 percent in December, up from 6.5 percent in November, and the U.S. rate was 7.6 percent, up from 7.4 percent.
U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican, suggested the Dollar-for-Dollar Deficit Reduction Act. The plan requires debt ceiling increases to be matched by an equal amount of spending cuts. Increasing the debt ceiling is essentially Congress agreeing to pay its bills. During the budget process and while passing other legislation, Congress agrees to a certain amount of spending. Increasing the debt ceiling just makes it possible for the president to pay those bills, even if it means surpassing a set debt level. If the debt ceiling isn't raised by May 18, the United States will default on its debts, plunging the country into depression. But the threat of destroying the U.S. economy has not stopped Republicans from using the debt ceiling as a negotiation tool to get the spending cuts they so badly want.
Public employees are avoiding changes to Ohio's public pension system by retiring before the changes kick in. The changes make it so any teacher who retires before July 1 will get a 2 percent cost of living increase to their pensions in 2015. Anyone who retires after July 1 will not get the increase until 2018. After that, retirees will get a pension increase every five years. Experts are also expecting a rush of retirees in 2015, when age and years-of-service requirements for full benefits are set to gradually rise.
A new report found Ohio's graduation rate is still improving. The U.S. Department of Education report found the state's graduation rate was 81.4 percent in the 2009-10 school year, higher than the nation's rate of 78.2 percent, and an increase from 78.7 percent rate in the 2006-2007 school year.

A nonpartisan think tank that advocates for poor and working class families is urging that Ohio adopt its own version of the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
The group, Policy Matters Ohio, said a state version of the federal tax credit, set at 10 percent, would divert just $210 million from Ohio's coffers but would benefit 949,000 low-income working families across the state. Such a credit would provide families with an average of $221 each, which Policy Matters Ohio described as "modest but helpful."
Currently 24 states and the District of Columbia have Earned Income Tax Credits, ranging from 3.5 percent to 50 percent of the federal credit.
"A state EITC program enables families to work and build assets while reducing the impact of regressive income tax changes," said a statement released by Policy Matters Ohio.
"A state EITC makes sense because recent changes to the personal income tax have provided greater tax reductions for higher-income earners than they have for lower- and middle-income families," the statement continued.
The federal EITC is a refundable tax credit for low- and medium-income individuals and couples, and is considered the nation's largest poverty relief program. When the credit exceeds the amount of taxes owed, it results in a tax refund to those who qualify and claim the credit.
To qualify for the EITC, a recipient must have earned income of $49,000 or less. The credit is worth significantly more for families with children and is refundable, which means families receive cash refunds above their tax liability.
Created in 1975, the federal EITC is aimed at helping lift families with children about the poverty level, along with offsetting the burden of Social Security taxes and maintaining an incentive for people to work.
In Ohio, 949,692 people currently claim the federal EITC. The credit generates $2.1 billion for state residents, and the average refund is $2,211.
Founded in 2000, Policy Matters Ohio is a nonprofit, nonpartisan policy research organization that seeks to create "a more prosperous, equitable, sustainable and inclusive Ohio," through research and policy advocacy.
Based in Cleveland and Columbus, the organization is funded primarily through grants from groups like the Ford Foundation, the Sisters of Charity Foundation, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the Corp. for Enterprise Development and others.
Cincinnati, Hamilton County and Greater Cincinnati experienced dramatic drops in the seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate between January and February, according to new data released by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS).
In Cincinnati, the seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate dropped to 7.5 percent in February, down from 8.6 percent in January. The civilian labor force, which measures the amount of people working and seeking jobs, also dropped from 139,400 to 138,900, which means less people were looking for work. The amount of people employed rose from 127,400 to 128,600 and the amount of people unemployed dropped from 12,000 to 10,300.
At the county level, the civilian labor force remained steady, while the seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate dropped from 7.9 percent in January to 7.1 percent in February. Across all of Greater Cincinnati, the unemployment rate dropped from 8 percent to 7.4 percent, even as the civilian labor force grew by 1,300 — a sign that more people in the region are looking for work.
Michael Jones, research director at the University of Cincinnati Economics Center, says the report was encouraging and consistent with the past few years' trends: "We've seen a lot of activity in the Cincinnati area. We know a few companies have been actively growing their businesses."The gains were also improvements in a year-over-year comparison. In February 2012,
Cincinnati's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was 8.4 percent,
Hamilton County's rate was 7.8 percent and Greater Cincinnati's rate was
8.2 percent. The civilian labor force was also larger in
Cincinnati, Hamilton County and Greater Cincinnati in February 2012, but less people were employed across-the-board.
Jones says looking at employment numbers is a much better way to gauge economic health than looking at the size of the civilian labor force. While employment purely measures job growth, the civilian labor force can be driven by demographic changes — including an aging, retiring population — and people going back to school full-time, according to Jones.
In February, Ohio's seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was 7.6 percent, and the U.S. seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate was 8.1 percent.
Jones says Cincinnati and Ohio are poised to continue strong growth: "We have a strong health care sector. As health care continues to be an important component of our economy, … Cincinnati is very well positioned to capture that growth."
State and federal numbers are typically adjusted to account for seasonal employment patterns, while local numbers are not.
Unemployment numbers are calculated through a household survey. The unemployment rate gauges the amount of unemployed people looking for work in contrast to the total civilian labor force. Since the numbers are derived from surveys, they are often revised in later months.
Update (3:54 p.m.): This story was updated with comments from Michael Jones, research director at the University of Cincinnati Economics Center.
The three measures set up $15 million to front to Duke Energy to move utility lines out of the proposed path; changes the source of funding to repay some $25 million in bonds used to pay for the streetcar; sells $14 million in bonds for streetcar improvements; and changes the municipal code to clarify that it is the responsibility of a utility to relocate its structures.
The $15 million comes from the $37 million sale of city-owned land near the former Blue Ash Airport.
Council voted 6-3 to approve the front money, improvement bonds and bond repayment, a vote that largely mirrored a Monday Budget and Finance Committee vote. Councilman Chris Smitherman was the sole "no" vote on the ordinance to change the municipal code.
Councilmembers Cecil Thomas, Wendell Young, Roxanne Qualls, Laure Quinlivan, Chris Seelbach and Yvette Simpson voted to pass funding, while Councilmembers Smitherman, P.G. Sittenfeld and Charles Winburn voted against.
"My concern with all of these votes … in particular the Blue Ash Airport dollars, these were promises that you made to the neighborhoods and I don't have the confidence that the legal battle against Duke Energy is going to yield a 100 percent win for the city of Cincinnati, so there's no assurance that these dollars are going to come back," said Councilman Chris Smitherman, one of the most vocal opponents of the streetcar.
"I want to be clear that it's something that I don't support."
The $15 million would be fronted to Duke to move its lines while the city and utility work out who is responsible for funding the move.
Duke estimates the full cost at $18 million and argues
that the lines would not have to be moved if the streetcar wasn't being
built. The city maintains that it has always been the responsibility of
utilities to move or upgrade their structures — which the third measure
clarified in the municipal code. If the city loses a legal battle against Duke, it will not
recoup the $15 million.
The second proposal switches the source of funding for
streetcar bonds from money coming into city coffers from southern
downtown and the riverfront area to a 1995 fund set up to collect
service payments from the Westin/Star, Hyatt and Saks. The measure wouldn't use any additional new money for the streetcar.
That downtown area wasn't bringing in as much cash as
expected but the city hopes to repay the other fund once the downtown
district — which includes the Banks and the casino — rebounds.
A new report has found that some of the best jobs in Cincinnati in 2020 will not require college degrees.
The report, which was done in a collaboration by Agenda 360, Partners for a Competitive Workforce, the Strive Partnership and Vision 2015 using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, found that 46 percent of jobs in 2020 paying the city average of $33,310 and more will only require a high school diploma or an equivalent to a high school diploma. Twenty-four percent will require bachelor's degrees, and 15 percent will require associate's degrees.
The best-paying, fastest-growing jobs by 2020 will be health care practitioners and any job involving computers and math and science, according to the report. Business and financial jobs will continue being among the best paying, but growth in that area is expected to be fairly timid. Health care support jobs will grow very quickly, but those jobs typically fall below the median wage.
The report also found some of the industries that workers might want to avoid. Food service will grow slowly and pay the worst, the report found. Transportation and production will pay slightly better, but they won't grow much.
The report also found that Cincinnati will continue to grow and be among the top economies. The report estimated that Cincinnati will add 106,115 new jobs by 2020. That should bring Cincinnati to slightly more than 1 million jobs, putting it ahead of competitors Cleveland, Columbus and Austin, Tex. However, Cincinnati will still lag behind Minneapolis, Denver, St. Louis and Pittsburgh in the jobs market.
The full report can be read here.
There's a catch — municipal employees only get the raises and job security if the city's parking meters, garages and surface lots are leased to a private company for 30 years.
City Manager Milton Dohoney wants to lease the facilities for at least $40 million upfront and a share of parking profits for the next 30 years. He'd use $21 million of the upfront payment to patch a $34 million deficit in the city's budget.
During recent budget hearings before City Council, Dohoney said extra revenue was needed to avoid the layoff of 344 city employees.
In a memo to the mayor and city council members, Dohoney outlined the agreement between the city and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).
Any municipal employees who will lose their jobs because of the deal would be placed in other city jobs with no loss of wages. No city employees covered by the union would be laid off between 2013 and 2016. City employees will receive a 1.5 percent cost of living raise for the 2013-2014 contract year and another 1 percent raise for the next contract year. AFSCME members will continue city vehicle maintenance work from 2013-2016.
However, if City Council doesn't approve of the plan to privatize parking, city employees get nothing.
Public employees in Cincinnati have not been given raises in almost four years. Meanwhile, council voted last month to give Dohoney a 10 percent raise and a $35,000 bonus. Dohoney had not received a merit raise since 2007, but had collected cost of living adjustments and bonuses over the years.
A local music teacher says Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy offered him a job and then rescinded the offer after asking him if he is gay. Jonathan Zeng says he went through the school's extensive interview process, was offered a position and then called back in for a discussion about religious questions in his application, during which he was asked directly if he is gay. Zeng says he asked why such information was pertinent, and an administrator said it was school policy not to employ teachers who are gay because they work with children and something about the sanctity of marriage. When contacted by local media CHCA released the following statement:
CHCA keeps confidential all matters discussed within a candidate's interview. We're looking into this matter, although the initial information we have seen contains inaccuracies. We will not be discussing individual hiring decisions or interviews.Cincinnati's deficit isn't going to get better any time soon, according to a new report.
The Reds drafted high school pitcher Nick Travieso in the first round of the MLB draft on Monday. Here's a rundown of their other picks Monday and Tuesday.
Senate Republicans yesterday blocked a Democratic bill calling for equal pay in the workplace, and the Dems are going to stick it in their faces during this year's campaigns. From the AP:
As expected, the pay equity bill failed along party lines, 52-47, short of the required 60-vote threshold. But for majority Democrats, passage wasn't the only point. The debate itself was aimed at putting Republicans on the defensive on yet another women's issue, this one overtly economic after a government report showing slower-than-expected job growth.
"It is incredibly disappointing that in this make-or-break moment for the middle class, Senate Republicans put partisan politics ahead of American women and their families," Obama said in a statement after the vote.
"Even Mitt Romney has refused to publicly oppose this legislation," added Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. "He should show some leadership."
The Washington Post wonders whether Mitt Romney can use Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's template for surviving a recall election to try to win the presidency. It involves "big money, powerful organization and enormous enthusiasm among his base." Exit polls in the state suggest Obama is ahead, however.

A new report shows Ohio has the fourth highest housing foreclosure rate in the nation — another troubling statistic for a state that, according to state officials, is supposed to be undergoing a major economic boom.
The report from RealtyTrac, a real estate information company, put Ohio's foreclosure rate at 0.96 percent during the first half of 2013, a 2-percent increase from a comparable period in 2012.
Ohio's foreclosure rate beat only Florida (1.74 percent), Nevada (1.4 percent) and Illinois (1.2 percent) in the rankings.
Ohio's bump up in foreclosures defies the national trend: Foreclosure starts are on track to hit about 800,000 this year, down from 1.1 million in 2012, according to RealtyTrac. The recovery follows the 2007-2008 recession and the housing crisis that helped cause it, which led to a spike in foreclosures.
State officials, particularly Gov. John Kasich, often claim Ohio has led the nation in job and economic growth following the recession, but recent statistics have raised doubts about the claim.
A June 16 infographic from Pew Charitable Trusts found Ohio was the No. 46 state for job creation between April 2012 and April of this year, supporting claims from liberal and conservative think tanks that Ohio's job growth has been stagnating in the past year.
Still, Ohio had a 7 percent unemployment rate in May, lower than the national rate of 7.6 percent.
The state also added 32,100 jobs in May — more than any other state for that month. Whether that job growth holds up will be made clearer on July 19, when the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services will release state job numbers for June.
Kasich on June 30 signed a state budget approved by the Republican-controlled General Assembly that Republicans claim will spur further job growth, but a CityBeat analysis calls that claim into question.

waitrose and asda is where i get mine. i've been buying it for ages - even just for fun before going primal - it's that good.
never had a soapy taste...
Well, I bought a fresh coconut. Again. And once again, it tasted of soap. Is this usual? I LOVE dried (dessicated) coconut, and coconut cream. But where (in the UK) can I buy a coconut that doesn't taste as though it has been marinaded in shampoo??
waitrose and asda is where i get mine. i've been buying it for ages - even just for fun before going primal - it's that good.
never had a soapy taste...
I've tried them from Sainsbury and Tesco - perhaps it's time to go upmarket! Also, I could try an ethnic shop?
true - although i've never been into one, don't know how they would "serve it up" i find ethnic shops can often over sweeten things.
Asda not upmarket though! I was buying them years ago and asda was the only place. There should be a slight, creamy film on top of the meaty part which should just have a hint of sweetness. you have to eat it up kinda quick though otherwise it spoils fast...maybe that was the problem?
You could always also try a local market, they tend to have fresher produce than supermarkets.
Maybe it's one of those individual taste bud things? Some people say they hate cilantro because it tastes like soap, but it doesn't taste remotely like soap to me.
I've read that when they are overripe they taste of soap. Your supposed to shake it in the store and if you hear liquid supposedly it's not overripe, if it's dried out it's no good. We got one before I read this and when we opened it it stank horribly and was moldy... That was from Walmart, I figure so few people buy them they probably keep them forever.

Description of Related Art Filter felts and bag filters for hot gas filtration containing aramid staple fibers, such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,100,323 and 4,117,578 to Forsten can be used to protect the environment from particulate matter from asphalt plants, coal plants, and other industrial concerns. Due to the high potential environmental impact from such plants and the extreme chemical environment the filters must endure, any improvement that has the potential to improve filtration efficiency is desired. In particular, the trend in the industry is for more portable asphalt manufacturing facilities and associated bag houses that can be operated where paving of roads is needed. These portable bag houses are generally more compact and use smaller bags on the order of about 3.5 meters in length, versus older larger bags of about 6 meters in length. Therefore there is a need for a filter bag that can provide improved performance at lower filter bag weight. This invention relates to a bag filter having a tubular section, a closed end, and an open end; the tubular section comprising a scrimless filter felt consisting essentially of a needle-punched batt of an intimate blend of fibers consisting of 50 to 79 percent by weight meta-aramid staple fiber, and 21 to 50 percent by weight para-aramid staple fiber; said needle-punched batt having a basis weight of from 10 to 17 ounces per square yard (340 to 580 grams per square meter). In one embodiment, this invention concerns a bag filter having a tubular section comprising a scrimless filter felt consisting essentially of a needle-punched batt of an intimate blend of fibers consisting of 50 to 79 percent by weight meta-aramid staple fiber and 21 to 50 percent by weight para-aramid staple fiber. This scrimless filter felt has surprising filtration efficiency performance when compared to 100% meta-aramid filter felts. By �scrimless filter felt� it is meant the filter felt is stable to mechanical working, such as would be experienced by a bag filter in a hot gas filtration bag house from air pressure fluctuations and does not require or have attached any type of supporting fabric scrim. The scrimless filter felt consists essentially of a needle-punched batt of fibers. The batt of fibers can be obtained from conventional nonwoven sheet forming processes such as air-laying or carding, and in some embodiments layers of un-needled fibers are crosslapped using conventional techniques to form thick fiber batts of sufficient basis weight necessary for felts. The fiber batt is then consolidated into a scrimless filter felt via needlepunching uses processes such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,910,763 and 3,684,284, which are examples of methods known in the art that are useful in the manufacture of the nonwoven fabrics and felt. The batt of staple fibers consists of an intimate blend of 50 to 79 percent by weight meta-aramid staple fiber and 21 to 50 percent by weight para-aramid staple fiber. In some embodiments, the batt of staple fibers consists of an intimate blend of 50 to 68 percent by weight meta-aramid staple fiber and 32 to 50 percent by weight para-aramid staple fiber. In preferred embodiments both the meta- and para-aramid staple fibers are crimped, with both having a crimp frequency of 7 to 14 crimps per inch (2.5 to 5.5 crimps per cm). The staple fibers are disposed in the batt and scrimless felt as an intimate blend, meaning that the types of staple fibers are uniformly mixed and distributed in the batt and felt. This forms a uniform mixture in the felt so as to avoid any localized areas having a high concentration of any one type of fiber in any one portion of the felt. The intimate staple fiber blend can be formed by many methods. For example, in one embodiment, clumps of crimped staple fibers obtained from bales of different types of staple fibers can be opened by a device such as a picker and then blended by any available method, such as air conveying, to form a more uniform mixture. In an alternative embodiment, the staple fibers can be blended to form a mixture prior to fiber opening in the picker. In still another possible embodiment the staple fibers may be cutter blended, that is, tows of the fiber types can be combined and then cut into staple. The blend of fibers can then be converted into a nonwoven felt. In one embodiment, this involves forming a fibrous web by use of a device such as a card, although other methods, such as air-laying of the fibers can be used. If desired, the fibrous web can then be sent via conveyor to a device such as a crosslapper to create a crosslapped structure by layering individual webs on top of one another in a zig-zig structure. If desired, the heavy basis weight needle-punched batt of staple fibers can be made from two or more lightly consolidated lower basis weight batts. For example, the lower basis weight batts can be lightly tacked or lightly consolidated on a standard needle punch machine and then two or more of these lower basis weight batts can be then combined and attached to each other by needle-punching them together on both sides to produce a filtration felt. The scrimless filter felt consists of a blend of aramid fibers because these fibers are particularly useful in the filtration of high temperature gases, for example at 175� C. or more. Fibers such as polyesters are not useful at high temperatures due to their relatively low glass transition temperatures (about 150� C.), meaning that the mechanical integrity of the fiber and a filter bag will be compromised when the glass transition temperature is exceeded. Even a small quantity of polyester fiber (or other material having a relatively low glass transition temperature) in the filter media of a filter bag can compromise performance at high temperatures. Aramid fibers have glass transition temperatures in excess of 200� C. and therefore are significantly more mechanically stable at higher temperatures than polyesters and can withstand temperature excursions in excess of 200� C., which would damage a polyester-containing bag. The meta-aramid fiber includes meta-oriented synthetic aromatic polyamides and the para-aramid fiber includes para-oriented synthetic aromatic polyamides. The polymers must be of fiber-forming molecular weight in order to be shaped into fibers. The polymers can include polyamide homopolymers, copolymers, and mixtures thereof which are predominantly aromatic, wherein at least 85% of the amide (�CON�) linkages are attached directly to two aromatic rings. The rings can be unsubstituted or substituted. The polymers are meta-aramid when the two rings or radicals are meta oriented with respect to each other along the molecular chain; the polymers are para-aramid when the two rings or radicals are para oriented with respect to each other along the molecular chain. Preferably, copolymers have no more than 10 percent of other diamines substituted for a primary diamine used in forming the polymer or no more than 10 percent of other diacid chlorides substituted for a primary diacid chloride used in forming the polymer. Additives can be used with the aramid; and it has been found that up to as much as 10 percent by weight of other polymeric material can be blended or bonded with the aramid. The preferred meta-aramid is poly (meta-phenylene isophthalamide) (MPD-I). One such meta-aramid fiber is Nomex� aramid fiber available from E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company of Wilmington, Del. (DuPont), however, meta-aramid fibers are available in various styles under the trademarks Tejinconex�, available from Teijin Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan; New Star� Meta-aramid, available from Yantai Spandex Co. Ltd, of Shandong Province, China; and Chinfunex� Aramid 1313 available from Guangdong Charming Chemical Co. Ltd., of Xinhui in Guangdong, China. Meta-aramid fibers are inherently flame resistant and can be spun by dry or wet spinning using any number of processes; however, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,063,966; 3,227,793; 3,287,324; 3,414,645; and 5,667,743 are illustrative of useful methods for making aramid fibers that could be used in this invention. In one embodiment, the meta-aramid fiber has a degree of crystallinity of of at least 20% and more preferably at least 25%. For purposes of illustration due to ease of formation of the final fiber, a practical upper limit of crystallinity is 50% (although higher percentages are considered suitable). Generally, the crystallinity will be in a range from 25 to 40%. An example of a commercial meta-aramid fiber having this degree of crystallinity is Nomex� T450 available from E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Company of Wilimington, Del. The degree of crystallinity of an meta-aramid fiber can be determined by one of two methods. The first method is employed with a non-voided fiber while the second is on a fiber that is not totally free of voids. The percent crystallinity of meta-aramids in the first method is determined by first generating a linear calibration curve for crystallinity using good, essentially non-voided samples. For such non-voided samples the specific volume (1/density) can be directly related to crystallinity using a two-phase model. The density of the sample is measured in a density gradient column. A meta-aramid film, determined to be non-crystalline by x-ray scattering methods, was measured and found to have an average density of 1.3356 g/cm3. The density of a completely crystalline meta-aramid sample was then determined from the dimensions of the x-ray unit cell to be 1.4699 g/cm3. Once these 0% and 100% crystallinity end points are established, the crystallinity of any non-voided experimental sample for which the density is known can be determined from this linear relationship:
Since many fiber samples are not totally free of voids, Raman spectroscopy is the preferred method to determine crystallinity. Since the Raman measurement is not sensitive to void content, the relative intensity of the carbonyl bond stretch at 1650 cm−1 can be used to determine the crystallinity of a meta-aramid in any form, whether voided or not. To accomplish this, a linear relationship between crystallinity and the intensity of the carbonyl bond stretch at 1650 cm−1, normalized to the intensity of the ring stretching mode at 1002 cm−1, was developed using minimally voided samples whose crystallinity was previously determined and known from density measurements as described above. The following empirical relationship, which is dependent on the density calibration curve, was developed for percent crystallinity using a Nicolet Model 910 FT-Raman Spectrometer: Meta-aramid fibers, when spun from solution, quenched, and dried using temperatures below the glass transition temperature, without additional heat or chemical treatment, develop only minor levels of crystallinity. Such fibers have a percent crystallinity of less than 15 percent when the crystallinity of the fiber is measured using Raman scattering techniques. These fibers with a low degree of crystallinity are considered amorphous meta-aramid fibers that can be crystallized through the use of heat or chemical means. The level of crystallinity can be increased by heat treatment at or above the glass transition temperature of the polymer. Such heat is typically applied by contacting the fiber with heated rolls under tension for a time sufficient to impart the desired amount of crystallinity to the fiber. The level of crystallinity of m-aramid fibers can be increased by a chemical treatment, and in some embodiments this includes methods that color, dye, or mock dye the fibers prior to being incorporated into a fabric. Some methods are disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,668,234; 4,755,335; 4,883,496; and 5,096,459. A dye assist agent, also known as a dye carrier may be used to help increase dye pick up of the aramid fibers. Useful dye carriers include aryl ether, benzyl alcohol, or acetophenone. The preferred para-aramid is poly (para-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPD-T). One such para-aramid fiber is Kevlar� aramid fiber available from DuPont, however, para-aramid fibers are also available under the trademark Twaron�, available from Teijin Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan. For the purposes herein, Technora� fiber, which is also available from Teijin Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan, and is made from copoly(p-phenylene/3,4′diphenyl ester terephthalamide), is considered a para-aramid fiber. Methods for making para-aramid fibers are generally disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,869,430; 3,869,429; and 3,767,756. The scrimless filter felt essentially consists of a needle-punched batt of an intimate blend of fibers and is said to be scrimless because it is not further attached to any supporting scrim such as a lightweight woven fabric. Generally such scrims are used to provide mechanical integrity and durability to the filter felt. Therefore construction of a filter felt without a scrim requires imparting certain mechanical features into the felt that will allow it to withstand the rigors of being fabricated into filter bags and being exposed to hot gases and pressure fluctuations in hot gas bag houses. The needle-punched batt has a basis weight of from 10 to 17 ounces per square yard (340 to 580 grams per square meter). Scrimless filter felts of less than 10 oz/yd2 (340 g/m2) tend to not have adequate stability to mechanical working and can fail prematurely when used as bag filter material in hot gas filtration bag houses. The pressure drop across the scrimless filter felt increases with basis weight, therefore filter felt basis weights greater than 17 oz/yd2 (580 g/m2) are generally not desired. In some embodiments, the needle-punched batt is needled such that the batt has about 4200 to 7200 total penetrations per square inch (650 to 1116 total penetrations per square centimeter). In one practical embodiment, these penetrations are divided about equally on both sides of the needle-punched batt. That is, for 4200 total penetrations/in2 (650 total penetrations/cm2), the batt is consolidated such that about 2100 needle penetrations/in2 (325 penetrations/cm2) are applied to the batt from one side or face of the batt with an essentially equal number applied to the other side or face of the batt. Likewise, for 7200 total penetrations/in2 (1116 total penetrations/cm2), 3600 needle penetrations/in2 (558 penetrations/cm2) are applied to the batt from one face with an essentially equal number applied to the other face. It is believed that for those embodiments where improved durability of the scrimless filter felt is important, at least about 4200 total penetrations/in2 (650 total penetrations/cm2) are needed, since no scrim is present in the felt. Consolidation of the batt of fibers in excess of about 7200 total penetrations/in2 (1116 total penetration s/cm2) is considered undesirable because of the excess compaction of the felt, causing high pressure drops across the felt. In some embodiments, the scrimless filter felt has a filtration efficiency per ASTM 6830-02, as measured by the total mass of the mean outlet particle concentration through the felt, of 0.02 to 0.5 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter of air. In some other embodiments, the total mass of the mean outlet particle concentration through the felt is 0.05 to 0.4 milligrams per dry standard cubic meter of air. This is an exceedingly low amount of leakage for a scrimless filter felt and in general is less than half the amount seen with a scrimless filter felt of equivalent basis weight that contains only meta-aramid fiber. In some embodiments, the scrimless filter felt has a leakage in milligrams per cubic meter per VDI 3926 of from 0.1 to 0.4 mg/m3; in some embodiments the scrimless filter felt has a leakage per VDI 3926 of from 0.1 to 0.25 mg/m3. VDI is Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (The Association of German Engineers). In some embodiments, the closed end 2 of the filter bag, as shown in As used herein, the term �filter bag� is meant to include not only the generic type of filter bag disclosed in the figure, but many other different embodiments of bag filters or tubular filters, including filter pockets or envelope bags. The tubular section of the bag is not meant to be limited to only round or cylindrical tubes but also includes such things, for example, as flat tubes, which could be used for filter pockets and envelope bags. Filtration efficiency was measured using procedure ASTM D 6830-02 �Standard Test Method for Characterizing the Pressure Drop and Filtration Performance of Cleanable Filter Media� and procedure VDI 3926 �Standard Test for the Evaluation of Cleanable Filter Media� using aluminum oxide dust. These are standard tests performed in the US and Europe, respectively, to determine the filtration efficiency of the felts. The higher the outlet concentration or leakage, lower the filtration efficiency. ASTM stands for the American Society for Testing and Materials. An intimate staple fiber blends containing 2 denier per filament (2.2 dtex per filament) meta-aramid fiber, specifically poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) fiber, having a 3-inch (76 mm) cut length (available under the trademark Nomex� fiber from DuPont and 1.5 denier per filament (1.7 dtex per filament) para-aramid fiber, specifically poly(para-phenylene terephthalamide) fiber, also having a 3-inch (76 mm) cut length (also available under the trademark Kevlar� fiber from DuPont was made by combining and mixing the staple fibers from bales. Using standard carding and cross lapping equipment these staple fibers were converted into crosslapped batts and were then needle-punched several times on both sides to produce filter felts (Items 1-1 to 1-5). This was accomplished by first pre-consolidating via needlepunching the batt 600 penetrations/in2 on each side, followed by additional needlepunching on both sides to further consolidate the batt. The total number of penetrations for each item, including the 1200 pre-consolidation penetrations, is shown in Table 1. To generate comparison filter felts of comparable weight, the above procedure was repeated to make heavy filter felts having a basis weight of 15.3 oz/yd2 (520 g/m2) from 100 percent 2 denier per filament (2.2 dtex per filament) Nomex� meta-aramid fiber (Item A). The 15.3 oz/yd2 (520 g/m2) felts were then carefully shaved down to remove basis weight and make 100-percent meta-aramid fiber filter felts having basis weights of 13.56 oz/yd2 (460 g/m2) (Item B) and 11.15 oz/yd2 (380 g/m2) (Item C). The felts were then evaluated for filtration efficiency using the procedure ASTM 6830-02 and the results are shown in the Table 1.
As shown in Table 1 and Intimate staple fiber blends containing meta/para fiber blend weight ratios of 55/45, 67/33, and 75/25 of the same poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide) fiber and poly(para-phenylene terephthalamide) fiber of Example 1 were made into scrimless filter felts as in Example 1 (Items 2-1 to 2-8). Also as in Example 1, to generate comparison filter felts of comparable weight, a 15.3 oz/yd2 (520 g/m2) filter felt made from 100 percent 2 denier per filament (2.2 dtex per filament) Nomex� meta-aramid fiber was carefully shaved down to remove basis weight make two 100-percent meta-aramid fiber comparison filter felts (Items D & E). All of he felts were then evaluated for filtration efficiency using the procedure VDI 3926 and the results are shown in Table 2. The blended scrimless filter felts had significantly lower leakage than the 100% meta-aramid felt at a comparable basis weight, thus confirming the results shown with the ASTM 6830-2 procedure.
Any of the scrimless filter felts made in Examples 1 or 2 can be made into a bag filter. The bag filter can have a closed end, an open end, and a tubular section. The scrimless filter felt can be fashioned into a cylinder with the edges overlapping. The edges can then be attached by stitching them to form a seam 6 as shown in Patent Citations

Critics Consensus: Priest is Without a Prayer
This week at the movies, we?ve got a vampire slayer (Priest, starring Paul Bettany and Karl Urban) and nuptial nuttiness (Bridesmaids, starring Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph). What do the critics have to say? When the armies of evil are on the march, who you gonna call? A priest should do the trick, especially if his name is Priest, and is more adept at dishing out pain than serving communion. Too bad the critics find Priest to be less than heavenly. Kristen Wiig is a funny lady. Unfortunately for moviegoers, the Saturday Night Live star has largely been limited to a series of sharp cameos on the big screen. Well, now she?s got a vehicle for her comedic chops with Bridesmaids. Back to Article
