' Int. CL C03c 27/02 5 Claims Background of the invention The invention pertains to that form of device kn as a back reflector, used in conjunction with a source of radiant energy, such as an infrared lamp, for delivering the energy to an object to be heated such as the glass o envelope of a magnetic reed switch or the like. In such work, the problem is to collect and concentrate the energy on the object as when sealing glass to a metalpart, and evenly distributing the radiation as completely as possible around the entire circumference of the object.
While the back reflector technique is well known in the art, broadly speaking, serious deficiencies have been present with known types of back reflectors and known techniques. The most serious problem encountered in the Y prior art arises from the utilization of a one-piece'cylindrically curved back reflector in conjunction with a frontal radiant energy source. The object to be heated, such as a reed switch envelope, is typically smaller than the focal z one of the radiation produced and as a result substantial.
portions of the energy zone lie outside of the glass element and are therefore unusable. To offset this, it is necessary to bring the back reflector relatively close to the object being heated, and this gives rise to another major problern or defect. namely, the formation of objectionable oxide deposits from the glass on the highly polished (gold) face of the reflector.
Furthermore, a cylinder presents a flat elemental surface to the energy rays producing divergence and diluation of energy density.
Other prior art techniques involving constant rotation of the object being heated are not entirely practical andv present complex problems of fixturing. Additionally, the possibilities of heating the object from two or more sides are-very limited and therefore the back reflector technique is best suited to the typical situations encountered in the industry.
Summary of the invention`-V A In accordance with the present invention, the above Therefore, while the arrangement of FIGURE 1B in deficiencies of the p rior art pratcice are substantially overcome and eliminated-The invention makes VAuse-of a vrnent allows placement of the glass clement to be heated at a point sufficiently remote from the reflectorfaces to minimize* the tendency for oxide deposits to form on the 3,460,930 Patented Aug. 12, 1969 reflector faces. The invention takes-advantage-inherently of the gap or space between laterally separated reflector..
parts to. totally eliminate objectionable deposits in central area while at the same time allowing the radiant energy to be efficiently concentrated on the worktunit with minimum loss and evenly around the circumference of the work unit. The supporting of the refleor tions FIGURE 4 is an exploded perspective view of the inven" tion.
Description of the preferred embodiment Referring to the drawings whereinlike numerals designatc like parts. attention is directed first to FIGURE lA which graphically illustrates conventional prior art techniques. In FIGURE lA, a radiant energy source, such* WIT-as an infrared source l0. is indicated-Typically; this may-- be a 1000 wat; tungsten filament with avsuitable apprpximately parabolic gold reflector, not shown. A back reflector itis provided in the form of a' cylindrically curved 'oody whose interior surface is gold-plated. The one-piece back reflector 1l. may have mounting extensions I2. The work unit 1 3, sucn as a cylindrical glass tube or envelope fora reed 'sw-itch, is located inwardly of the center of.' curvature 14 of the back reflector 1l. Typical rays l5 emanating from the energy source l0 are shown reflecting from the cylindrical surface of the hack reector at points 16 and enti ely missing the glass object 13. to be heated. The radia.t or heating energy Aone 17 produced by the coaction of the source 10 and back reflector 1l is shown approximately and graphically in broken lines as an ellipse and it is evident in FIGURE lA that the glass element or obiect I3 lies substantially outside of ti.: one 17 except for a relatively small segment of the o zone and consequently the maior part of the reflected heat energy is lost or ineffective to heat the element 13 in FIGURE 1A.
This inefficient prior art aLangement lc'ads logically to the arrangement ofiFIGURE 1B, also a part of the prior art teaching. In this figure, the cylindrically curved' back reflector is shown at l1' and the glass element or envelope is indicated at 13'. As is apparent in FIGURE 1B, the glass element has been moved considerably toward the reflective surface of cylindrical back reflector 1l', to a point more than one-half of the radius of the back reflector closer to the reflective surface. The purpose of this adjustment is to locate the glass element totally within the .confines of the radiant energy zone 17'. However, it. will be noted that this compensation or adjustment gives rise to another serious problem caused by the fact that the melting glass is movedconsiderably closer to the back reflector, whereby metal oxide from the glass has a much greater tendency to condense as a dull gray coating 18 on the reflecting surface, thus destroying its usefulness.
creases the ef iii5tly 9ft he system from the standpoint f-titilii-g more of the available heat energy from the zone 17', simultaneously a new and equally serious problem arises due to placing the glass element too close to the reflective surface and thus encouraging the'formation of the metal oxide deposit 18 thereon. Also, it may be observed in FIGURE 1E that large end portions 19 of the hrw.
`energy zone 17' are still well outside of the space 0ccupied by the element 13 and tlLis energy is thus lost or ineffective to heat the element 13'.
' FIGURES 2-4 inclusive show the invention structure which to a great extent overcomes the difficulties which have been discussed in connection with FIGURES 1A and IB.
Referring to FIGURE 4, a mounting bracket or holder s, 2li is shown including a vertical body portion 2l which may beattached to-a suitable structural element of a reed switch fabricating apparatus or Vthe like. The'holder 20 further comprises back reflector support arms 22 and 23 which are spaced apart lateraliy, there being a connect ing web 24 between these arms, as shown. Spherically curved .back reflector sections 25 and 26 are provided and these sections are spherically curved in both the vertical and horizontal planes. Each reflector section has an end lateral mounting extension or tab 27 having an adjusting slot 28..The extremities of support arms 22 and 23 have machined grooves 29 which receive the tabs 27 and screws 30 serve to adjustably rigidly secure the back reflector sections to the support arms 22 and 23 in desired laterally. adjusted positions perfnittet'Lby the elongated slots 28.'
There will always be a gap or space 3l between recctor sections 25 and 26 and thus it is impossible for the mentioned oxide deposits to accumulate in this region. To further inhibit the formation nf .i on 'my part/ol'fe reflective surface, a forrdl .l P ("ln C e l i' connected with' t na bc rc derer lly atjustnble upon its primary support' so that the back reflector sections can be adjusted in two planes. The re- -flective faces of sections 2S and 26 are gold-plated with 4a highly polished finish for maximum efficiency. y FIGURES 2 and 3 show in a somewhat diagrammatic form the advantages of the invention structure in comparison to the prior art. In FIGURE 2, the infrared source or lamp is indi:^'ed at 33 and the cylindrical glass envelope at 34. The radiant energy zone 35, as shown in FIG- I URE 2, is considerably forcshortened due to the sepa-V rated arrangement of the back reflector sections and the glass envelope may be centered within the zone and spaced suflleiently far from the spherical reflective surfaces so that there will be no serious tendency to cause an oxide formation thereon. The gap or space 31 immediately behind the glass envelope eliminates the oxide coating problem in the most critical area and, as stated, the air stream from the tube 34 continually flowing forwardly through this gap tends to direct any particles of oxide or impurities away from the reflective surfaces.
It may be observed in FIGURE 2 that the axial center of the glass envelope may be positioned considerably less than one-half the radius of a reflector section inwardly of the centers 36, these centers 36 being the true centers of curvature in the horizontal plane of spherically curved back reflector sections 25 and 26. Each such reflector section also has a center of curvature 37 in the verticaltplane as shown in FIGURE 3. Continuing to refer to FIGURE 2,-th centers 36 are spaced equidistantly laterally of a center line 38 through the center of the gap 3l'. A radius for a single sphetieally curved baci: reflector would lie on the center line 38. However, a significant feature of the present invention resides in spac' ing the centers 36 equidistantly on opposite sides of the center line 38 so that energy rays 39 from the source 33 will be reflected from points 40 on spaced reflector sections 25 and 26 back onto the glass envelope 34, rather than wide of the same as in FIGURE 1A. As a result of the invention arrangement, the heat energy zone 35 is much less elongated and much less of the available heat energy is lost or unused on opposite sides of the envelope 44 as graphically illustrated in FIGURE 2. Consequently, the geometry of the parts in FIGURE 2 is such that the r 4 heating of the glass element 34 efficiently and uniformly around its circumference is greatly increased and the tendency for oxide deposits to condense` on the spherical reflected surface is greatly decreased', thus satisfying lthe two main objectives of the invention.
FIGURE 3 depicts graphically the advantage gained by having each reflector section curved in the vertical plane,
'as contrasted to thestraight cylindrical back reflector Il' of the prior art. ln FIGURE 3, an incoming energy ray 4l is reflected at 42 from back' reflector ll' and misses entirely the glass envelope 34 as indicated at 43.'How ever, the same ray 4l reflected at 44 from the spherical reflector section 25 passes directly onto the upper portion of the glass envelope as indicated at 45, for example, as during the forming of the upper glass seal of a reed switch or like device.
In this connection, it should be understood that the reflector sections 25 and 26 may be employed in upper and lower pairs in a reed switch fabricating apparatus so as to be capable of producing upper and lower glass seals on each switch in cooperation with a vertically shift` able radiant energy source.
The spherical shape in the vertical Plane of reflector sections 2S and 26 may notv represent the ideal curvature, but this construction renders fabrication of the back reflector much simpler since the horizontal curvature is circular. The spherical configuration satisfies the requirements or criteria for the invention very nicely. The light pattern is strongly divergent as it -leaves the glass seal area. Thiswliglit-'or venergy must be collected and rei turned te. the seal area in a convergent pattern or ctherwise theenergy density is diluted and the pattern is wider on the back side than on the front. t r` s Essentially, the invention structure has accomplished the followingffhe light pazh or energy path is directional and the pattern is rapidly converging and divcrging as it enters and leaves the focal zone 17-35. The energy rays` falling outside of the glass object in simple terms totally misses the target-As previously'mentioned, .here are two end zones of energy that are available for further work but are ordinarily wasted; the outer ends 19 of the focal. zone that have missed the glass, the center portion of the zone having been absorbed by the glass on the first pass ofthe rays and therefore unavailable for further work. In order to manipulate these two potential energy sources and direct them to the rear portion of the glass seal, concave optics is employed by the invention to collect the divergent rays and cause them to converge on the seal area. Since there are two separated zones of energy as Y described, the concave opties is divided in the invention to handle both zones properly. It is believed that in view of the drawings and the above description, the advantages of the invention over the prior art will new be readily apparent to those skilled in the art without the necessity for any further description.

Defense Lawyers Want Out Of Fort Hood Shooting Trial
Originally published on Thu August 8, 2013 5:30 am
The judge in the court martial of accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan is expected to announce Thursday what she's going to do about a rebellion in her courtroom.
A team of Army defense lawyers told her on Wednesday that they want to be released from their job.
The defense lawyers want out because they think Hasan is purposely trying to lose this trial.
Hasan fired them in May, but the judge made them stay on to offer Hasan technical help with court procedures.
Now the lead defense lawyer says that arrangement is "untenable."
Texas Tech law professor and former Army lawyer Richard Rosen says the defense attorney is in a difficult spot.
"He thinks it's ethically improper for him to serve as a standby counsel for someone who's seeking the death penalty when his role should be to ensure that he does not get the death penalty," Rosen said.
Hasan has denied this, calling it, "a twist of the facts."
But when he tried to explain in open court Wednesday, the judge cut him off, then cleared the courtroom so she could talk privately with him and the defense lawyers.
Hasan is accused of opening fire at Fort Hood in November of 2009, killing 13 people.

The beauty of making your own amaretto lies in controlling the sugar content of this almond liqueur. In a side-by-side tasting of our homemade amaretto and popular commercial brands, ours was less sweet and had a true almond flavor. For the sweet tooths out there, just add more sugar.
What to buy: Apricot kernels are the dried seeds of fresh apricots. They have an almondlike yet bitter flavor and can be found oniline.
Bottled or purified water is important because any impurities in the water may affect the final flavor of the liqueur.
Special equipment: You'll need a flat-bottomed, basket-style paper coffee filter. (The smaller, cone-style coffee filters are not big enough and tend to fall over during the filtering process.) Try bumming one from your local coffee shop or buy some oniline.
You will also need two large pieces of ultrafine woven cheesecloth. It can be purchased at cooking supply stores or online.
Game plan: After the soaking and combining the macerating ingredients, there is a 4-week waiting period, so if you're planning on giving your homemade amaretto as a gift, be sure to factor in the month of infusing time.
This recipe was featured as part of our DIY Holiday Gifts Advent Calendar.
To finish the liqueur:
Dense, buttery almond-flavored cake with an amaretto glaze.
A boozy, dairy-free shake that's tart and refreshing.
Use it as is or dress it up to make Thousand Island, aioli, or a number of other dressings.

Water filters serve a range of household purposes, from improving the taste of tap water to removing contaminants. So it's no surprise that water filters are so popular in households everywhere. If you want to start enjoying clean, filtered water in your home, take some time to learn about your options before you buy. Choose from a wide range of water filter types; a quick look at the differences between them can help you choose one that best fits your needs.
Types of systems: Water filters are available in different form factors, such as water filter pitchers and faucet water filters for drinking water and large under-sink water filters or whole house water filters. Pitcher filtration systems, where the water drips through the filter directly into the pitcher, are convenient for keeping purified water in the refrigerator, while faucet attachments offer the option of filtering water continuously right out of the tap. For areas where the water supply is a concern, reverse osmosis and other large-sized filtration units can filter water for the household even before it reaches the tap.
Filtration methods: Different water purifiers use different methods of filtration. One method is to run water through filters that trap contaminants and remove them from the water. Filters, often in pitcher-style and faucet-attachment systems, can be made of activated carbon or charcoal and can remove contaminants as well as unpleasant tastes and smells. Faucet and pitcher filtration methods allow you to filter small volumes of water, such as a gallon or less. A second method, reverse osmosis, uses a high-pressure water flow through a specialized type of filter called a membrane and can include multiple filtration stages. Reverse osmosis systems, which often fit under a sink or at the point of the household's main water supply, can filter large volumes of water for multiple uses.
Uses: Water purifiers can improve the taste of drinking water, remove unpleasant odors and generally make drinking water more enjoyable. You can also use reverse osmosis filters to remove organic contaminants, such as bacteria and microbes, from your water supply. All filtration methods are designed to remove inorganic matter, such as chlorine and lead, from your water supply, which can improve both the taste and the color of your water.
Certifications: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that you look for one or more of three certifications when choosing a water filter. These certifications are from the Underwriters Laboratories, the Water Quality Association and NSF International. The certifications, which may appear on the product's packaging or on the product itself in the form of an icon or similar mark, can also help to ensure that a particular filter addresses the specific uses you have in mind when buying a water filter.
Considerations: Most water filters use types of filters that will eventually need to be replaced. The frequency with which a filter needs to be replaced varies depending on the individual product and may be noted on the product's packaging. Some products provide the information in terms of gallons of water filtered, while others refer to timelines, such as one or two months. It is helpful to take into account both the cost and availability of replacement filters when choosing a water filter.

Mar 16, 2015 | Posted by | Gender: Female Sport Interest: Swimming Age: 25-34
Before I tried this suit on I was iffy about the cut. However, after wearing it the first time I was sold! The straps don't cut into my shoulders, everything is held in place perfectly, and it is all around just a light and comfortable suit. For me the sizing was perfect.

Love this suit!
Jan 8, 2015 | Posted by | Gender: Female Sport Interest: Swimming Age: 18-24
The only reason I give 4 stars to this suit's fit is because the material is a little thin for my larger chest size... However, if that is not an issue for you, then the suit is great overall!

Measurement chart is slightly off.
Dec 16, 2014 | Posted by | Gender: Female Sport Interest: Swimming Age: 18-24
I purchased this suit and loved the look when I took it out of the box; however, the suit was too loose. I followed the chart and got the suggested size. If you're thinking of purchasing this suit go for a smaller size because the material is thin and stretchy.
The aesthetic of the suit is nice when dry, but the suit loses its appeal when it's wet. Aside from it being a bit too large and the thinness of the cloth, it's an ok suit for lap swimming.

From the Publisher"The brilliance of Huang's work is that she makes readers rethink and reconsider genres that are often interfaced with and considered in reductive ways."—Asian American Literature Fans
"Huang does a masterful job of interrogating genre's relationship to knowledge production. In her efforts to develop a 'transformative Asian American politics of form,' Huang treats both established and emergent Asian American writers and through her focus on three highly structured types of genre fiction—immigrant fiction, crime fiction, and science fiction—she encourages critics to not just read familiar texts differently, but to read a variety of texts that don't currently rest easily within the rubric of 'Asian American literature.' This project should cement Huang's position as a leading scholar in the field of Asian American genre criticism."—Tina Chen, The Pennsylvania State University and author of Double Agency: Acts of Impersonation in Asian American Literature and Culture
"Contesting Genres in Contemporary Asian American Fiction broadens and invigorates critical studies of genres in Asian American literature, offering nuanced, theoretically informed analyses of generic characteristics, including those of crime fiction and science fiction. It makes a compelling argument for the necessity to understand genres as social constructs, as modes of knowledge production, and as disciplinary techniques of subject constitution."—Zhou Xiaojing, Professor of English, University of the Pacific

Resident: Noise is an issue
Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor once said, "There's something strangely musical about noise." Locals may not agree, as the noise level at a local business was brought up at the April 5 meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
A citizen, who asked not to be identified, told local officials that the noise generated at Teen Kingdom Arcade was both "annoying and embarrassing."

I have had so many instances of harassment its ridiculous. I've been asked, "Hey Slut how much?" while walking my dog and wearing sweatpants to having men twice my age yell, "nice tits!" at me to having a guy come up to me and tell me, "with boobs like that you have to be a porn star." I naturally have a larger bust and I don't want to feel like it automatically makes me a slut. It makes me feel powerless and angry. It got to the point where I started yelling back at men who screamed obscenities at me and they always respond with some horrible insult when I tell them to leave me alone. My friends and family have told me not to do so because the guys could retaliate and hurt me. I don't think its fair that because I happen to be a women I have to let men harass me because they are physically stronger and bigger than me. Its gotten so bad sometimes that I dont even want to wear makeup or dress in a nice outfit when I am going to be walking because I dont want to be harassed. I take a lot of pride in my appearance and I dont want that to be taken from me but I dont want to draw attention to myself that will lead to harassment.
The worst incident occurred two Halloweens ago. I was out celebrating in costume with three friends. We were leaving a bar in Hollywood and walking to the lot where we parked the car. A group of five guys came up to us and started harassing us and telling us we should go home with them. We politely responded we were just going home and to have a nice night and they started calling us whores and one grabbed my friends butt. She told him to stop and he said he would "Do whatever the fuck he wanted." I had a soda in my hand and I turned around and threw it at him. I kept walking when I realized one of my friend wasn't with me. She was being punched and kicked by two of the guys. I ran over to help her and one of the other guys punched me in the chest and jaw and then started running away. I called 911 and chased the guy who hit me for four blocks. The other guys ran. The police pulled into the parking lot as one of the guys came back and was running into his car. He was arrested but they never found the other four guys. My friend had choke marks on her neck. One of the guys told her he would, "fucking kill her." She was eight weeks pregnant at the time and suffered a miscarriage most likely due to the blows to her stomach. I was very afraid to go out at night for a long time because I was so scared of being assaulted again.

The BBC Trust's editorial standards committee has apologised after Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle made an "antisemitic" joke about the Israeli army.
Mr Boyle made the comment on Radio 4's Political Animal programme in June 2008 and said: "I'm quite interested in the Middle East, I'm actually studying Israeli army martial arts. And I know 16 ways to kick a Palestinian woman in the back.
"I've got an analogy which explains the whole thing quite well: if you imagine that Palestine is a cake – well, that cake is being punched to pieces by a very angry Jew."
Three IDF officers have been disciplined and one demoted over the killing of four Palestinians during protests in the West Bank.
The shootings happened in March this year near the Palestinian village of Iraq Burin and the day after at the Awarta checkpoint.
Troops were deployed into the area to stop Palestinian protesters storming the settlement of Bracha.
Settlers from the West Bank town of Yitzhar have wounded an IDF soldier, hurled stones and slashed the tyres of a military vehicle.
The IDF strongly condemned the attacks, said to be in response to a closed military zone order against the settlers to keep them from entering the Palestinian village of Madma, south of Nablus.
The settlers, mainly teenagers, had intended to visit Madma on Yom Ha'atzmaut to protest against the settlement building freeze. A clash ensued after security forces tried to prevent the settlers from going any further.
The government should do more to make sure that military components sold by Britain to Israel are not used in the Occupied Territories, a joint parliamentary committee on arms exports has said.
They said it was "regrettable that arms exports to Israel were almost certainly used in Operation Cast Lead" – last year's campaign against rocket-launchers in Gaza.
"This is in direct contravention to the UK government's policy that UK arms exports to Israel should not be used in the Occupied Territories," they said.
Young Israelis are keener than ever to join army combat units, according to new Israel Defence Forces figures.
After a barrage of criticism by human rights organisations and the Goldstone Report in the wake of the Gaza War, the reputation of the Israeli army's combat units have taken a battering.
But among Israeli school leavers, the three-week military campaign appears to have done wonders for their image.
A leading defence figure has warned of "dark forces" exploiting the international media, including the BBC, and insisted that some criticism of Israel "is based on antisemitism".
Retired Colonel Richard Kemp told a 400-strong audience at the Zionist Federation's 110th anniversary dinner it had been a "privilege" to work alongside members of the Israel Defence Forces during his 30-year career.
Israeli soldiers have clashed with stone-throwing protesters in Hebron angry that two shrines have been listed as Israeli heritage sites.
The IDF soldiers used tear gas to disperse the protesters who threw bottles and stones at the soldiers.
The protest was in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to include the Tomb of the Patriachs in Hebron and the site of Rachel's Tomb in Bethelehem as part of an Israeli £69m restoration plan for heritage sites.
Baroness Tonge, who was sacked from her post as Liberal Democrat health spokesperson for the House of Lords, has criticised the Israeli lobby in British politics in a Press TV interview.
She also wrote an email to pro-Palestinian activist Deborah Fink, blaming the JC for spreading the organ-stealing allegations.
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg sacked Baroness Tonge after she told the JC she believed there should be an independent inquiry into allegations of organ trafficking by the IDF while they helped the earthquake victims in Haiti.
Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has sacked controversial peer Jenny Tonge as the party's health spokesperson in the Lords over her demands for an investigation into allegations of body parts harvesting by the Israeli Defence force in Haiti.
Her remarks followed an article making the accusations in the online journal Palestine Telegraph, of which Baroness Tonge is a patron.
Israel has handed the United Nations a detailed rebuttal of the Goldstone Report on Operation Cast Lead in Gaza last year.
The document denied the main allegations made by the committee headed by Judge Richard Goldstone: that Israel had intentionally targeted Palestinian civil infrastructures; that the IDF had committed dozens of alleged war-crimes; and that these incidents were not being properly investigated.
Israel has to inform the UN imminently what kind of commission it plans to set up to investigate the findings of the Goldstone Report.

Seriously? WTF. Must have been the outside rave because there were police in the indoor dances o.o They were quite on top of things. My friends and I immediately went to the bathroom when we entered and we were followed in :/ So I'm surprised someone like this didn't get caught immediately :/ UGH.
Yeah the pre-reg was a little ridiculous. I could deal with waiting 2 hours but capping the pre-reg? Seriously? You force everyone to pre-reg with an attendance cap but don't let them get their tickets? Huge waste of a hotel and damn expensive. I'd have been furious if it happened to me thursday.

Am I losing it?
My goodness!
This one takes the cake!
I may have to resign from PSP as I sure can't figure this tutorial out!
I am OK until step #8 when it says to contract------I get a pop up saying selection has to be DEFLOATED right after I Floated it? Doesn't it say float Selections> modify> 35?
I assume we are still on the rectangle image? Or are we suppose to be on the tube? Oh yoy yoy!
Well you got further than I did, I can't even download the supplies. What do you click on? I tried the little dot before the filters etc, I tried on the download here, I tried on each individual filter and font. See what you started, when I saw your link I thought I'd take a look, it is really cute. But why I ever thought if you were having trouble with it that I would be able to figure it out is beyond me. Don't resign you'll get it.
Hope someone comes to your rescue.
Teri, You just put me out of business!!!!!!!!
I couldn't even get the Gradient to be square like you have it.
I invented my own way of doing it but didn't post it cause I was going to give it another try.
I will post my invented one and later give it another try.
Carol, You click on the word HERE and a plus sign appears as you do.
Here is my flop, but will post another if it doesn't make me scream! "lol"
Wouldn't you gals miss me if I ditched PSP tutes on here?
Yes Terry, I did that and it shows the same as her picture and in my background (materials) but it won't make a square on my image?
I am using PSP8. Maybe I should try it in 7 & X to see if that won't make me bald? I have a couple of hairs left.

Jose Valverde
Jose Valverde thinks he's only gonna be in the minors a short time
Jul 4, 2013, 11:03 AM EDT
Jose Valverde wants Tigers fans to know that they're not safe from him for long. Here's what he told Jeff Seidel Detroit Free Press: "I didn't have a spring training," Valverde had said, a few hours earlier in the clubhouse. "I think this is like a spring training." "Will you be here for six weeks?"…
You're not done with Jose Valverde yet, Tigers fans
Jun 27, 2013, 5:02 PM EDT
Usually when a player is designated for assignment they end up getting released. Established major leaguers anyway, as they'd prefer to not opt for a minor league assignment, choosing instead to try to latch on elsewhere. Not Jose Valverde, though: Valverde accepted assignment to Triple A Toledo. #tigers — Matthew B. Mowery (@matthewbmowery) June 27,…
Jose Valverde designated for assignment by the Tigers
Jun 21, 2013, 3:43 PM EDT
Good night, Jose Valverde. Parting is such sweet sorrow. Mostly for opposing hitters: This was inevitable. Valverde appeared in 20 games this season. His ERA is sitting at 5.59. He's got nine saves but three blown saves and two day ago he was lit up like a pinball machine while doing mopup duty in a…
Jim Leyland leaning toward Joaquin Benoit for save chances
Jun 20, 2013, 8:03 PM EDT
With Jose Valverde showing exactly why he failed to attract much interest over the winter, Tigers manager Jim Leyland is seemingly phasing him out of the closer role. According to Jason Beck and Bobby Nightengale of MLB.com, Leyland said today that while he isn't ready to make an official announcement on his closer situation, he's…
Quote of the Day II: Jim Leyland on doubles

The Orioles are coming in to Detroit to play the Tigers this evening. Jim Leyland was asked about Orioles star Manny Machado.

Royals 3, Tigers 2: Jose Valverde was handed a 2-0 lead in the ninth with a runner on and promptly coughed it up by surrendering a homer to Lorenzo Cain. Phil Coke added his own brand of kerosene to the fire on the 10th as Eric Hosmer singled in the winning run. After the game…

There's no stopping the Orioles' offense. After Max Scherzer appeared poised to improve to 8-0 last night, the Orioles came roaring back for four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning against Jose Valverde to secure a dramatic 7-5 walk-off victory. Nick Markakis led off the inning with a solo homer and was followed…
Jose Valverde pitched against Canadian teenagers
Apr 16, 2013, 11:19 AM EDT
Jose Valverde's trek back to the majors involved throwing two innings in an extended spring training scrimmage against the Canadian junior national team yesterday. Jason Beck of MLB.com reports that the 35-year-old former closer held a bunch of 16-, 17-, and 18-year-olds hitless while getting four of the six outs via strikeout. After failing to…
Francisco Rodriguez is drawing interest
Apr 13, 2013, 10:28 AM EDT
After getting Jose Valverde a minor league deal with the Tigers last week, agent Scott Boras is now trying to find Francisco Rodriguez a new home. While nothing appears to be imminent, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the veteran reliever is drawing interest from multiple teams, including the Brewers and Marlins. Heyman's report also…
Jim Leyland decides on Joaquin Benoit as Tigers' closer
Apr 11, 2013, 11:19 AM EDT
Phil Coke did most of the closing in the playoffs and the Tigers went into the season talking about a "closer-by-committee" situation, but now manager Jim Leyland has settled on Joaquin Benoit as the primary ninth-inning reliever. "On a lot of the days, if it's doable, I think Benoit is the most experienced and versatile…

Reds 5, Angels 4: Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton finally upped their averages north of .000 — each went 1 for 4 and drove in a couple — but not enough to matter. Aroldis Chapman came in to pitch the ninth against the top of the order. Mike Trout singled but then he got Aybar…
Score one for Proven Closers: Jose Valverde signs a minor league deal with the Tigers
Apr 4, 2013, 12:30 PM EDT
The Tigers grand bullpen experiment — which really isn't a closer-by-committee thing — will apparently not last indefinitely: Jose Valverde has signed a minor-league contract w/ the Tigers. — Patrick Reusse (@1500ESPN_Reusse) April 4, 2013 Valverde will not join the big club immediately, Reusse reports. He'll presumably go to Lakeland to throw some and then,…
Jose Valverde throwing for scouts in Dominican Republic
Mar 28, 2013, 9:35 PM EDT
While the Tigers are prepared to begin the season with a closer-by-committee approach, Jose Valverde is still out there looking for a job. According to Jason Beck of MLB.com, Valverde's agent, Scott Boras, said today that his client has thrown bullpen sessions for scouts from multiple teams in recent days in his native Dominican Republic…

Phil Coke isn't worried about the Tigers' closer situation
Mar 6, 2013, 10:01 PM EDT
Now that it's increasingly apparent that hard-throwing rookie Bruce Rondon might not be able to handle the job, the Tigers are reportedly trying to acquire a closer. While it's interesting to see this much uncertainty in the late innings for a team which is built to win right now, lefty reliever Phil Coke doesn't see…
Jim Leyland says Tigers re-signing Jose Valverde "has not even been discussed"
Mar 5, 2013, 2:49 PM EDT
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported over the weekend that Jim Leyland "remains interested" in re-signing Jose Valverde as a "closer safety net," but yesterday the manager pretty clearly shot that down. "That's not in the picture, trust me," Leyland told Jason Beck of MLB.com. "That has not even been discussed." Six weeks…
Jose Valverde won't pitch in World Baseball Classic due to personal issue
Mar 1, 2013, 3:05 PM EDT
Jose Valverde can't convince an MLB team to sign him despite saving 35 games with a 3.78 ERA for the Tigers last season and now he's not even going to pitch in the World Baseball Classic. Valverde was slated to play for the Dominican Republic, but the team announced that he's been removed from the…
Bruce Rondon hit 100 mph "a couple times" in spring debut
Feb 24, 2013, 4:31 PM EDT
The Tigers let Jose Valverde walk this winter — he's still a free agent — and are considering turning closer duties over to rookie righty Bruce Rondon. Rondon has logged only eight total innings above the Double-A level and has a troubling 5.1 career BB/9 in the minors. But the Detroit coaching staff loves his…
Tigers "haven't for a moment considered signing" Jose Valverde
Feb 21, 2013, 12:46 PM EDT
Last week Tigers manager Jim Leyland said he was "totally shocked" and "broken-hearted" that Jose Valverde hasn't found a new team. And, being the jerk that I am, I noted that if Leyland was truly "broken-hearted" he'd probably try to convince general manager Dave Dombrowski to re-sign Valverde considering the price tag certainly can't be…
Mets maintaining interest in reliever Jose Valverde
Feb 17, 2013, 10:28 AM EDT
Ken Davidoff of the New York Post has the goods: The door remains "slightly ajar" for free agent Jose Valverde to join the Mets as their closer, an industry source told The Post. As with the Mets' pursuit of Michael Bourn, you bet against this actually happening. But this is considerably less complicated than the Bourn…
Jim Leyland is "totally shocked" and "broken-hearted" that Jose Valverde doesn't have a job
Feb 14, 2013, 10:47 AM EDT
Jose Valverde remains unsigned and except for a report linking him to the Marlins that was immediately shot down as being fueled by agent Scott Boras there's been little even linking him to teams. That's surprising, because while Valverde's performance has clearly declined he did save 35 games last season and a league-leading 49 games…
Scott Boras denies planting the Jose Valverde-to-Miami rumor
Feb 6, 2013, 10:30 AM EDT
The other day there was a report that Jose Valverde and the Miami Marlins were close to a deal. It was immediately — and vehemently — shot down by the Marlins, who took the unusual step of actually saying it was Scott Boras spreading baloney in an effort to create a market for his client.…
Jon Rauch agrees to $1 million deal with Marlins
Feb 5, 2013, 4:46 PM EDT
That report about the Marlins being close to a deal with Jose Valverde has been deemed "a typical ploy by Scott Boras," but Miami has added some veteran bullpen help in the form of Jon Rauch on a one-year contract worth $1 million. Rauch will presumably act as the primary setup man for closer Steve…

Although congrats to Square Enix since part of this is timing. There aren't really any other MMO's in the public eye at the moment short of ESO which is still quite a ways away still.
You do know there is a major WoW content patch incoming to fight against FF14? I'd compare it to the release of Icecrown Citadel (for the non-WoWers, it was huge).
Blizzard is fighting a pretty good battle.

Downsize a chimney liner?
Note - I posted this in "Fireplaces" but this forum may have more readers.My 1920s home currently has the furnace (from the 50s- 60s) and the hot water heater venting (I think that's the correct term) into the chimney.
I am having a new furnace and A/C installed this week. The furnace will now vent outside the house, leaving only the hot water heater going into the chimney.
The question is: do I need to downsize the chimney liner? I have researched quite a bit and it's about 50/50 - yes and no. The "no" votes say only a flue cap is needed, while the "yes" votes (all 'votes' are by professionals) have the same reason - to minimize gases, etc, from escaping, etc.
The other comment is that there is a small amount of water/condensation at the base of the chimney in the basement. I am having the roof checked for leaks in about a week.
Any advice on the chimney liner is welcome. Two last questions - 1) is stainless steel the way to go - or is aluminum okay? 2) Should I let the HVAC team install the liner or should I leave that for a chimney professional?
Thank you!
I am assuming your fuel source is natural gas.Talk to your installer about a tankless on demand direct vent hot water heater.You will not need a chimney. I know that SS liners can be pricey along with several other factors,ie life of your current hot water heater, cost of running your current heater vs the tankless , convenience of the tankless (continuous hot water). Many utilities and states offer some pretty good rebates on energy efficient appliances.
What you aren't telling us is this: is the chimney used with a fireplace? A usable fireplace needs a certain amount of flue area to draw properly...if you use one, I'd be wary of downsizing the flue without an expert's advice.
And when you say there is 'condensation' at the bottom of the chimney, are you talking at the base of the wall, or in the old cleanout opening, or the hole where the old vent flue for the furnace entered?
My parlor chimney has a gas fireplace, and the second flue in it was used for the old furnace, which is now replaced with a direct vent one, and the condensate from it flows through a small pipe to my corner basement drain. The water heater vents to a second chimney which also vented the old stove. I would like a tankless water heater, but can't afford the price--and I've heard that they can take a few minutes to get you hot water.
Hi columbusguy1 - I bought this home 2 years ago and have never used the fireplace, but it is both gas and wood burning. The 'condensation' is near the 2 cleanout openings, but sometimes runs along the width of the chimney at the base of the chimney where it meets the floor. I just checked it again and both the furnace and the large galvanized metal 'pipe' from the top of the hot water heater goes into the left side of the chimney, while the gas pipes (copper) from the hot water heater goes into the right side of the chimney.
jonnyp - I did get several recommendations to do a tankless hot water heater, but I have a $200 (he's giving me a break) cost for an aluminum liner from the A/C furnace installer and a $425 for stainless steel quote from a masonry guy (who still needs to see it in person). Both have great reviews on angieslist and other sites and both seem very reputable, but I am wondering if I should let the masonry guy install (if needed) the liner and not the A/C furnace guy?
Thanks to both of you for your help!
Each fuel burning appliance and fire place must have its own flue/chimney; by law a flue/chimney cannot be shared.
The masonry "chimney" probably has one or two separate flues for gas appliances and a larger one for the fireplace with an ash dump at the basement level. You must look at the top to determine the sizes.
The size of a chimney flue is determined by the size of the fireplace opening and a vent flue by the size of the appliance.

SamBakZa is my hero!
I love your work, my friend, from the first "There she is" to this on. You're flash work is indeed exemplary, which Is probably why your work has consistently been on the top flash of all time and still is from what I understand. You are more than most of the Flash in the pan animators we usually see on this site. Well done and I can't wait for Step Four! </:}
Hello again hi...my names higgles! Whats yours?
Ok, nooow I am starting to understand your so called "WoRk oF GeniUs" Wink wink!
It seems Your story is not of immigration but a sex scandle. A mighty fine one of it made the front page of Bunny and Ginny pig daily. I'm like so talking about a newspaper. You know! Its a thing I read everyday, every mourning to here the latest news!
I think you and I have known each other... somehow maybe we met in a bar? Nah!
But if not I still have grown to like you more each time I make a review.
You are the same as Adam Phillips, You both have come up with complete oringnal story lines, pictures and people. You both have made it into a 5 flash trilogy however I think If I had to vote between the two of you I would vote for Adam. Sorry I just really love Australia... oh and he promised me five dollars if I voted five (I'm still waiting for that 5 bucks). And you didn't, I just think your being cheap... CHEAP ASS!
But you did add English translation which means your went that extra mile that probley got you those wonderful delicous views reviews and votes!
Wait! this thought has just ocured! You and Adam have two more things in common, you both made one extra flash and you made one of your flash a part two.
You have gotten even better then before.
And.... HOW come Adam didn't get a producer huh???
I know why you stole him (or her) Away. theif!
Still don't like your animations but before you say anything I'm gonna explain why.
My life, all of my Homies in Victoria my family and friends in sydney my conconce my religon and faith in god has gone against this beloney!
Even though you censored it! It still is not a good example of civilised beavouir.
(yes I misspelt it cant be bothered dinners in the oven Bye be back later!)
It's simple to describe your flash: "There she is" Is like watching Ronny John's half hour and Watching Rosie O'donnel and Donald Trump have bitch fight!
I doesn't make any sense at all.
Hey While I'm... her....e I..I I......I have a confession.
I got turned on by that Rabbit OMFG!!!! Arrrrrrggggggghhh!!!! NO YOU FUCKING DIDN"T!!!!! I HATE YOU!!!! ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!! (Bang!) .....................................
........(line goes dead)
really enjoyable, i really love the "anime" style!
Pretty good. Cute style of art, very smooth animation, but withal, I thought it needed more. I understand this has to be fit for a couple languages (I think), but still I really don't get what's going on. In addition, although this is a good little Flash, there are much more worthy things that are still among the top 20 or so.
