Fedora 18 To Feature the GNOME2 Fork MATE 202
from the locking-it-down dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Too many people have problems with GNOME 3. Good to have a choice.
. i have been running mate on ubuntu through a ppa but mainline support or even a full spin like xfce and kde have would be nice. hmm Mubuntu?
Maybe Cinnabuntu with Cinnamon desktop? Sounds tasty!
Cinnabuntu sounds quite good... better than cubuntu (be very careful with that spelling now!)
However, putting a different front end on top of Ubuntu seems to be self-defeating, the whole point of Ubuntu is that is an all-in-one supported-with-default options thing. If you want configurability, there are plenty of alternatives. Ubuntu is a kind of 'Windows for the linux world' and tries to ape the things that made Windows popular.
what are you babbling about, there is Xubuntu and Kubuntu already
I know there is, I'm saying its probably a bad idea, especially as kubuntu is not supported by Canonical [arstechnica.com].
Hence my point, if you want to use Ubuntu, stick with the 'official' flavour only. If you want a non-Unity flavour, go with a different distro. Ubuntu wants to be a pre-packaged Linux, let it be.
I was disheartened with the shipwreck that Gnome 3 decided to become, so MATE was a very positive development. And while I'm not a Fedora user (just not my cup of tea), it's a very popular distro, and seeing them adopt MATE added a huge momentum to the project (a bit like when IBM adopted Java - it boosted it enormously).
(just not my cup of tea)
I see what you did there.
(The namesake of MATE) [wikipedia.org]
Seadog 19 will feature Matey, the DE that comes with a talking parrot (but doesn't support 3D).
Given how many decent, albeit old, chips covered by the Gnome 3 blacklist - this shouldn't be a surprise.
In addition, not much was ever said about the blacklist other than "R100/R200/$chip just can't handle it" without specifying how something that worked in Gnome 3.0 didn't work in later versions. The excuse generally has been along the lines of "STFU and enjoy the fallback, since your chip is too old" without a reasonable explanation of why it even happened. Never mind that Gnome 3 goes out of its way to make sure a blacklisted chipset stays in fallback to the best of its ability - without any opportunity to override.
Thank you for the outbreak of common sense from the Fedora team. I've been using KDE since Gnome 3 arrived.
Says you. You must be some part-time home-hobby geek or something.
The rest of us who actually work every day with linux on our desktops just want to get our work done and want to be able to do things without 17 mouse movements all over the desktop trying to make a mouse emulate a touch-screen.
They should work on getting the kinks out instead of trying to go back in time or trying to be a crappy Mint wannabe with no codecs.
GNOME 3 doesn't have "kinks", it has major usability regressions. They can't be "gotten out", they must be destroyed.
New users want something cool and flashy not something that looks like a clone of Windows from years past.
Only if you want all your new users to be teenage kids.
why mint is a stable debian derivative. it is more secure than windows and free so they aren't paying for a license with your money?
Remember that Fedora is the testing grounds for RHEL.
Without Mate RHEL would have to go to Gnome3 in the next major release. The user base would not accept the usability issues.
I always assumed people wanted a piece of software that worked, and did what you want from it. If a desktop operating system can't do simple tasks that a normal user is assustomed to, then it is a failure.
From a personal value judgement, if you have to sacrafice functionality (regarless of if its the way YOU work) for a design philosophy, you'ew probably going to alienate a ton of people who will abandon your endeavors. There are many many reasons for 'new' Linux users that have nothing to do with crazy odd
f**k me, you're saying the software is there for the benefit of its users and no the other way round?!!?!?!!
no way! As if! inconceivable!
Eh? No one's removing Gnome 3 from Fedora. MATE is being added as an extra desktop environment. Gnome 3 will still be the default. This is an additional feature, not a replacement.
Eh? No one's removing Gnome 3 from Fedora. MATE is being added as an extra desktop environment. Gnome 3 will still be the default.
Not for long if they can't get it to work reliably and identically across different platforms and hardware.
Remember who foots the bill - me and thousands of other Red Hat Enterprise Linux customers who each put thousands of dollars into Red Hat every year. We expect RHEL 7 and 8 to be based on stable versions of Fedora that actually work, consistently and identically for all our machines, whether they be workstations with super graphics cards and quad monitors or servers with low-end graphics serving remot
it's possible to have aesthetics without compromising functionality, but that's not what these new interfaces do (gnome 3/unity/metro/windows phone/ios'd osx etc). they sacrifice functionality (lots of it) for the sake of looks and a flat learning curve.. the problem is that flat learning curves come with flat power curves. it doesn't need to be either extreme, just a sane default in the middle somewhere, with extensibility/configurability to get it where the user needs it.
This is being blown way out of proportion. We're all acting like this means that Fedora is dropping GNOME 3 for MATE or something crazy like that. From what I can tell they're simply just porting the packages to Fedora, nothing more. Maybe they'll offer a version with MATE as the default configuration, but this doesn't show any signs of replacing GNOME 3 in the future. Lets be realistic and read the articles, folks.
Also, unrelated, but I feel like the GNOME 3 hate is really blown out of proportion. Sure, so
Also, unrelated, but I feel like the GNOME 3 hate is really blown out of proportion. Sure, some users were driven away, but the exact same thing happened with GNOME 2 and people called it trash and crap and whatever else. By the time that GNOME 3 is mature and more stable, it will have a large userbase again. I can guarantee it. I, personally, really love it as it is, especially how easily extensible it is. I don't know another desktop that allows so many customization options through extensions like that. You can really change near everything with a little tweak and you can write one yourself in minutes.
That's bullshit - I was there when Gnome 2 was born. There were some critics, but nowhere near the backlash that accompanies Gnome 3.
Your post reminds me exactly of the Windows Vista apologists: they would say things like "When Windows XP came out, there were just as many people who hated it. like the ones who hate Vista. In the end, it will be a success like XP." Turns out, all those apologists were full of shit, and Vista really is the turd that everybody thought it was.
Vista wasn't crap, though. For me it was perfectly usable. It had a few quirks here and there but doesn't every OS? Not only that but what's so bad about liking GNOME 3?
Oh, and could you please use more profanity? You're coming off as too mature for me to handle.
By the time that GNOME 3 is mature and more stable, it will have a large userbase again.
Man, that's a terribly bad way to manage a large software project.
I, for one, wish my Linux desktop environment had less "throw it all out and start over" regressions
I'd like to see more carefully planned upgrades that have less breakage while still moving forward in smaller increments.
Also, unrelated, but I feel like the GNOME 3 hate is really blown out of proportion. Sure, some users were driven away, but the exact same thing happened with GNOME 2 and people called it trash and crap and whatever else.
And they were right.
I have been using GNOME since GNOME 1 times, and I think for former GNOME users the GNOME 3 fiasco is not something unexpected, it is a logical outcome of the overall trend in GNOME development.
I remember Sawmill/Sawfish being replaced by Metacity, which even in the latest GNOME 2 releases was not able to do things which were supported in Sawfish since day 1 and still are.
I remember Galeon being pushed out of GNOME and replaced by Epiphany (seriously, did anybody used Epiphany?), and aga

I didn't even notice when Gnome 2 took over.
Unlike Gnome 3, it didn't remove about 4 major desktop features that I use all day long each and every day with no way to restore them.
Fedora is going to continue to be a Gnome 3 distro. They are not doing anything special with Mate, they are just going to package it for people that wants to install it.
Since when packaging something is newsworthy?
Mate will be the default in one of the next Fedora releases, in preparation for RHEL7.
Mark my words.
Since when packaging something is newsworthy?
Since couple of weeks ago [slashdot.org]...
The vehicle driving interface have not changed much in the last 80 years or so. This has not stopped us to innovate vehicles. Imagine that every 10 years or so, car manufacturers decided that a steering wheel and pedals are out of fashion and should be replaced by something fundamentally different.
The mess we have today in many fields is related to our priorities as a specie. We placed eyecandy before efficiency and this means we place a tremendous amount of energy in entertainment, games and trendy gadgets that sole goals are to steer attention away from real problems by having an entertainment industry so huge.
Let's be honest: steering wheels, pedals and levers should have been replaced by now.
Perhaps this will serve as a wake-up-call to other distros (*cough* ubuntu *cough*).
New shinies are nice. Choice is better.
its good to fork once in a while to keep the projects momentum going and bring in new blood?
....so looking forward to using MATE when it's finished compiling some time in 2014.
....so looking forward to using MATE when it's finished compiling some time in 2014.
That is just 1.5 Grateful Dead songs away!
Where is Debian? I still don't see Mate in the standard repos, let alone as an installation option (or, preferably, the default.)
I've been running XFCE4 for a while but, frankly, the longer I use it the more issues I find. Like VNC and NX interoperability, or the infamous xfce4-terminal hang that just caused me to lose some work last night.
Someone brought up the possibility of mate in debian but debian doesn't like code duplication (it's not exactly forbidden but it's strongly discouraged). It could still happen of course but if and when it does it will be controversial.
For debian i386 and amd64 users the mate guys offer packages but users of other debian architectures are less lucky.
Trinity [trinitydesktop.org]. Not everyone likes KDE v4.
Desktop environments and toolkits have been horribly fragmented on *NIX systems since the beginning of X. I guess the Linux community is just carrying on that grand tradition.
I've been a GNOME (on Ubuntu) user for about 4 years, and was more or less planning to migrate to KDE when I finally upgrade to 12.04 as I really detest Unity and GNOME 3 just feels incomplete. I've also considered XFCE... I guess I really ought to give MATE a closer look too.

PopGun Presents
Jenny Hval
Ludwig Persik, Tica Douglas
Glasslands Gallery
289 Kent Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11249
Doors 8:30 PM
This event is 21 and over
Jenny Hval (b. 1980) has in recent years made a name for herself as a writer, journalist, recording artist and sound artist both in Norway and abroad. When her third record Viscera was released in 2011, WIRE magazine described the record as: "a stunning achievement both conceptually and musically." Multidisciplinary and transgressive are words often employed to describe her art, but Jenny Hval's polyphonic artistry is in fact seamlessly interwoven between musical, literary, visual and performative modes of expression. Despite her young age, she has already infused, carved and modulated an artistic voice that is altogether present, accessible and obscurely complex at the same time.
Jenny Hval studied Creative Writing at the University of Melbourne, and Literature at the University of Oslo. She has released the albums To Sing You Apple Trees (Trust Me Records, 2006) and Medea (Trust Me Records 2008) under the alias Rockettothesky. Viscera (Rune Grammofon 2011) was released under her own name. 2012 saw the release of the debut album of Hval's band project, Nude On Sand, in which she collaborates with Håvard Volden. Jenny Hval made her debut as a writer with the book Perlebryggeriet ('The Pearl Brewery') in 2009, followed by Inn i ansiktet ("Sings with her eyes") in 2012. Alongside this she has contributed to magazines and newspapers like Vinduet, ENO, Bergens Tidende and Klassekampen. In 2010 Hval contributed to the artwork War Song by the American artists Valerie Tevere and Angel Nevarez that was performed during the Ultima Festival in Oslo that year. In 2011 she created the sound installation ENTER/Flesh for the bigger installation ENTER Sonic Tank at Tou Scene in Stavanger, followed by Innocence is kinky (2012, commissioned by Henie Onstad Art Centre) and A continuous echo of splitting hymens (2012, for the group exhibition MURMUR at Akershus Kunstsenter). In collaboration with the writer Inger Bråtveit she has also created several works between performance, music and literature, the most recent being Kvit Søppel ('White Trash', 2011).
Her fourth album, Innocence Is Kinky (2013), was recorded at Toybox Studios, Bristol, with producer John Parish, lauded for his work with PJ Harvey, Giant Sand and Sparklehorse.
"Ludwig Persik grew up on the LES surrounded by the CBGB punk scene, and judging by his effortlessly stylish sound—part swirly psych-folk, part brooding dance pop—he was listening closely." - Time Out
In July 2012, his debut EP produced by Jamie Lidell was made available for free on his website.
Originally from Portland, Maine and now living in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Tica Douglas reminds us what good pop music should be. Tica is one of the rare songwriters who values lyrics and melody equally. More importantly, she can pull them both off. Whether it's just Tica and her acoustic (like her first two albums 'I Love Mahself, Yup Yup' and 'The Edinburgh Tracks,') with a full band (the more recent 'Apollo'), or in the middle of a mess of synthesizers (her new single: 'Inside Outside') Tica-listeners are pulled into one foot-tapping hook after another, and feel the need to stay to hear what she has to say.

Champro Youth DRI-GEAR Pro Plus Piped Open Bottom Pants 11 11
adjustable length pants These pants have the Velcro inside to change the length, which is handy if you can get baseball pants to last more than one season. My son didn't like how the Velcro felt, so I just cut it out. June 25, 2014
Love the fit and style, great item overall. I bought these pants for my son and he has loved them, the fit and how they look even after a couple washes still looking great. Also the adjustable bottom of the pants really helps and hopefully these pants will last us awhile. :) June 8, 2013
Best pants we've found. My son loves these pants as he says they are cooler (in hot weather) than the others he's tried. Mom and Dad love the fact that you can adjust the inseam with the built in velcro adjustable system. May 29, 2013
Nice pants Bought these for my team. They are every bit as good if not better than more expensive brands. Good fit. Look nice after wash, and look to be made very well. April 2, 2013

Gorgeous Design
Rustic Peacock Rectangle Invitations I looked all over to find modern-looking peacock wedding invitations with no luck. I finally stumbled upon Magnet Street and am so pleased I did! I ordered the Rustic Peacock invitation suite and am so satisfied with how they turned out! I was a little weary of ordering online because things aren't always what they seem, but they are with these invitations. The colors are vivid and the quality is great! I would definitely recommend ordering from Magnet Street to anyone who asked. The process was simple and I was able to customize my invitations to fit the feel of my wedding. The sample offers some cute ideas for wording, as well.
I was expecting more pizzazz
Lace It Up Rectangle Invitations I was expecting more pizzazz and a wow factor. I was content with my order but I was hoping that it would stand out form other invites I've had in the past. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase.
We love our invitations
Sketched in Love Rectangle Invitations We used magnetstreet for our invitations and couldn't be more pleased with them. The personalization process was easy and the colors available matched our wedding colors perfectly. The invitations arrived fast and in perfect condition.

Lace Country Rectangle Invitations I had been to several different sites and made several different invitations and the look of this really caught my eye. Very elegant yet simple and perfect for my vintage rustic wedding. The best part was after I ordered the invitation and rsvp cards, magnet street called me because there was a color difference between the front and the back of the rsvp cards that I did not notice when I ordered them. They wanted to make sure I knew that and if it was what I wanted. Impressed with that customer service!

DEO suspects involvement of an employee
Significant files relating to various irregularities and computers with important data were reduced to ashes in a fire accident in District Educational Officer's office here on Wednesday morning. A passerby, who noticed the fire, alerted the Fire Department personnel who rushed fire tenders to the spot. But by the time they doused fire, many important files were gutted.
Speaking to The Hindu , DEO A. Jagadeesh said that files connected to at least six inquiries among the documents were destroyed. Suspecting the involvement of an employee in the incident who was suspended by him, Mr. Jagadeesh said that only the DEO office staff knew the exact location of the files. The employee, who worked in the capacity of superintendent, was suspended by Mr. Jagadeesh for forging his signature in issuing permissions to at least 13 private schools in the district in his absence. Later, he was reinstated as Manager at Medak DEO office though a criminal case and a departmental inquiry was pending against him in Nalgonda.
Stating that files pertaining to medical reimbursement bill fraud were also stored in the same room under which 121 teachers were charged, Mr. Jagadeesh said that a file prepared against 18 Mandal Education Officers, who were suspended in connection with various irregularities, was also gutted in fire.
"We have collected the remains and have to check if the hard disks are still intact to retain the information," he said.
District Collector T. Chiranjeevulu visited the spot and promised to take appropriate action against the culprits involved in the incident, if any.
Meanwhile, teachers' unions, PRTU, UTF, APTF, SC& ST Teacher's Association demanded to constitute a special team to complete the inquiry soon and bring the culprits to books.

Bayless is simply an airbag who spouts out contrarian ideas in order to get a rise out of people.

"Before you can win a game, you have to not lose it." -- Chuck Noll
Looking at some of the Polamalu comments makes me think some have come full circle on Troy and returned to Bustamalu.
If you have, I think you've lost your mind.
Were you also on board the "dump Woodson" bandwagon back in the day, due to his contract/injury? How'd that work out for us?
Skip Bayless is a blowhard and a tool bag.
I listen to ESPN radio and his show from time to time. And sometimes he has some interesting things to say. And some of the guests are good. But it does get annoying when they have to disagree and argue senseless positions. I guess that's just like all of us afterall.

Role-Playing (RPG)
DescriptionRole-playing video games are descendants of pen-and-paper RPGs. In those games character development is the main driving gameplay mechanic. Typically one or more characters are created and shaped by the player, then embark on a series of encounters that increase the inventory, wealth, or combat statistics of said character(s).
A role-playing game is not just any game in which the player "plays a role", i.e. controls a character and participates in exploration and narrative. Rather, the defining characteristic of role-playing games is player-dependent character growth. A role-playing game can be seen as such when player-controlled characters become stronger ("levels up") because of the player's actions (usually depending on experience points received for vanquishing enemies), rather than being upgraded automatically as dictated by the storyline. The degree of the player's involvement in shaping the characters may vary considerably: some RPGs offer vast customization possibilities, while others tend to simplify and even nearly automatize the process.
Traditional RPGs have turn-based combat and a fantasy setting (Wizardry series, Ultima series, Roguelikes, etc.). Later, other settings were introduced, and many RPGs - such as Diablo - began favoring action-based combat. In these games, Action is used as a modifier to the RPG genre.
By the late 1980's, the genre has been distinctly split into two main sub-genres: Western and Japanese (sometimes called console-style) RPG. Western RPGs typically favored free exploration and player-made decisions, while Japanese RPGs focused on following a linear story line. Japanese RPGs also tended to retain simple turn-based combat mechanics, and in many cases also random enemy encounters.
In many early Western RPGs the player was given the option to create an entire party of characters (usually up to six). Ultima games introduced the possibility of recruiting initially non-playable characters (NPCs) with their own personalities from the game world into the party. Beginning with Phantasy Star, Japanese RPGs followed this template and even elevated it to their cornerstone mechanic.
Late 1990's saw a "RPG revival" in the West. Fallout greatly expanded the usage of non-combat statistics and moral decisions during gameplay, while Baldur's Gate popularized real-time party-based combat.

HELP!!! Aquarium Filter
I've inherited a set up aquarium with no information at all. My sister just helped me clean it (40 gallons) and we cleaned the filter too. The problem..........
How do you get the filter to work again? Its an eheim and we put water in it but is there a trick to priming it?
What type of eheim?? What model?
With the older type, essentially you have to "suck" out the air to get it to start. There's a bulb device that's sold that does this.
You do hear the motor running right? And the impeller IS spinning?
I haven't had an older model eheim for a long time - so I can't remember how I used to get it first started.
I found this on another site - you may want to check it out and see if the instructions work for you:
How to prime canister filters:
"* STEP 1: Make sure that there is NO water in the canister. Install all the media, hoses, input and outlet pipes, close up the canister and make sure that all valves are OPEN.
* STEP 2: Make sure that the water in the tank is filled up to the top. Now if you filter has an integrated priming aid, i.e. EHEIM ecco and Pro II, proceed to engage the priming device and then immediately proceed to STEP 3. If your filter does not have a priming aid, i.e. your 2215, and you are using a spray bar, 1) disconnect the spray bar form the output hose and 2) apply a short but strong suction on the OUTLET tube. As you are doing so, keep an eye on the INTAKE tube. As soon as you see water go up the intake and then down the tube on the outside of the tank, STOP applying the suction and now gravity takes over and the water continues to fill up the canister. Immediately re-connect the spray bar to the outlet tube.
NOTE: All that is needed is a short strong suction of a couple of seconds.
* STEP 3: If the spray bar or outlet is under the water, it will be bubbling as the air is expelled by the incoming water filling the canister. You may plug in the unit when the bubbling has stopped or when you see that the water has filled up the flexible outlet tubing. NOTE: The water will fill the outlet tubing to approximately 3" to 4" of the top of the tank water level.
* Note: Priming the EHEIM Wet/Drys models 2*27 & 2*29 is slightly different from standard canisters.
This is the "official' way to prime canisters, if you have your own way of doing so that works for you that's great. I was just trying to list an easy guideline for those who are wondering how. With this information there is no need to use any additional pumps to pump water into the canister, no need to turn the canister upside down or put the intake below the water level and hope that you can reconnect it to the canister in time before you make too much of a mess."
Here is a link that might be useful: click here
People swim in lakes, and fish tanks are much cleaner, so I don't understand people's aversion to ingesting a bit of it. But I'm sure you can find the missing part online somewhere, or perhaps make one. If it ends up being too much work, just get a new filter and put the old media inside it.
Just try following those instructions. Is the eheim filter you have circular?
Eheim is really one of the better filters out there. And very quiet.
Yes - you may have to suck the air out of the tubing. There is a device that does this (like a rubber bulb thingie) but you can also just do it by mouth. Have a bucket nearby if you want to spit out.
Essentially you just want to get ALL the air out of the tubing.
I'm guessing its a canister filter [sits below tank]. I remove the return to tank hose and run a short hose to a bucket on the floor. Start filter and run water into bucket until bubbles stop. Unplug filter and carefully switch hoses. I wrap a dishtowel around filter to soak up any spills.
I had a problem with my filter and the guys at fish-fish-fish.com were very helpful

Great steamboat and clean. Also, good value for money. Would recommend to any visitor to Kota Bharu.
It's a nice air conditioned restaurant to give you respite from the heat. Food was really nice too. Considering how busy this place is, service was good. Halal restaurant.
Good value for money if you take the set dinner... but the fish wasn't that fresh.
Efficient staff, clean restaurant, but the food is average.
Expected better since this was highly recommended by the locals. Basically this is average compared to other seafood joints I have patroned but there were lots of local folks who dined here.
I came here with colleague last year. Looks like a typical Chinese restaurant from outside but when you came in, a lot of Muslim inside, which is rare in Malaysia.
Been told by locals that this is one of the best Halal Chinese restaurant in Kota Bharu. Comparing with Kuala Lumpur, it is just average but however the service was...
This is a halal Chinese restaurant. It tries to be an up market mid range category with aircon, table cloth etc but fails to deliver, as it is obvious that the owners do not invest sufficiently nor seriously.
Food is ok even though price is reasonable. However, the portion is very small.
The service is substandard as it does not...
The restaurant is clean and cosy lighted. It serves Kelantan and Thai cuisine. Try the Curry Fish Head and fried Kampong Chicken (free-range chicken). It is a Halal restaurant. During festive season it is always full-house. So do make reservation.
This was my 2nd time here. Just two of us...seated within 1 minute and food ready within 15 min. Had meal for two with selection of 4 dishes... The kensom steam fish was bit hot but tasty....
Highly recommend to others... Price is higher compare but once in while...i dont think one mind about the cost...
Taxi is bit difficult...
We came here because of the good reviews that i heard, and certainly it was a lovely restaurant.
The service was professional and friendly, didn't have to wait long for food. (Because i've already reserved ^_^). The timing was just right.
Environment was nice, lots of people because it is CNY day...
The food was delicious just the fish that...
The portion is okay and they serve local dishes. The staffs is freindly but sometimes when it is peak hour, the serving will be a bit slow. Try their Tofu, my most favourite dish here!

Is there a way to tell if ivy is an annual or a perennial?
Thanks, Barb
Unless you know what the name of the vine is, you need to observe it's growing cycle. If it grows year-round or if it dies to the ground in winter and regrows from the same rootstock in the spring, it is a perennial. If it dies to the ground in winter and doesn't regrow, or just seedlings sprout up near where the original plant was then it is probably an annual. That's my non-professional explanation and I'm sticking to it, LOL.
Are you trying to find a particular vine or trying to ID one that you already have?
Are you asking about english ivy? The formal name for that is hedera helix. It is perennial in zone 5. The leaves are usually killed in the winter and new ones grow the next spring.
BTW, if 60185 is your ZIP code, you are in zone 5.
Yes - you can identify it from the leaves. If you post a photo on the Name that Plant forum they will tell you what you have. So many plants are called (incorrectly) 'ivy' that it's impossibele to answer your question until we know what you have. You could try googling English ivy, Swedish ivy, Grape Ivy, Boston ivy just for starters.

assignor to Luwa A.G., Zurich, Switzerland, a corporation of Switzerland Filed Mar. 11, 1965, Ser. No. 438,863 Claims priority, application Switzerland, May 30, 1962, 6,586/ 62 6 Claims. (Cl. 55-440) This application is a continuation-in-part of my commonly assigned, co-pending United States application No. 282,730, filed May 23, 1963, now abandoned, and entitled Separator.
The present invention relates-to an improved separator for efiectively separating suspended fluid particles from a gaseous stream and an improved partition wall construction for such separator.
Prior art apparatus are known which serve to separate suspended fluid particles, for example water droplets from a gas stream. During operation of such apparatus a gas stream is repeatedly deflected or turned so that the fluid particles entrained by the gas stream are separated from such gas stream due to their inertia. Separators of this type should be simple in construction, permit of an efl ective separation operation and, in so doing, provide a small resistance to flow.
The prior art separators incorporating partition walls shaped to efiect a sharp turning of the gas stream as it moves from the inlet side to the outlet side of the separator create problems due to the sharp turning of the gas stream which produces pronounced pressure losses and reentrainment of the separated liquid. While separators of this type carry out the separation operation quite satisfactorily when the gas stream is moving at a velocity up to about 3 meters per second, at higher velocities the separator becomes quite inefficient.
It is with the above considerations in mind that the present improved separator has been evolved serving to permit separation of fluid particles from a gas stream with a minimal pressure drop in the gas stream and minimal reentrainment of the separated particles in the gas stream. The improved separator may be constructed to perform efficiently in a relatively small space and permits a significantly higher rate of gas flow than previously developed separators.
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a separator for reliably and efficiently separating fluid particles from a gas current or stream with very low pressure losses even when working with high velocities of the gas current, that is, up to about 15 meters per second.
A further important object of the invention is the provision of an improved separator which is relatively simple in construction, easy to assemble, highly reliable in its operation as well as extremely economical to manufacture.
Yet a further important object of the present invention is to provide an improved separator capable of eflectively separating fluid particles from a gas stream while providing little flow resistance for such gas stream.
Another object of the invention is to provide a separator which has relatively small space requirements, yet still provides a high separation efliciency and low pressure drop.
A further object of the invention is to provide a separator which can operate with high gas stream velocities up to about 15 meters per second, so that when the separator is used in an air conditioning plant it is possible to employ air handling ducts of relatively small diameters and if the inventive separator is installed in an existing air conditioning plant the flow velocity of the gas cur rent moving through the flow channels of such plant can be correspondingly increased.
According to the invention, these and other objects which will become hereafter apparent are attained by forming the separator with spaced partition wall members, a pair of which define a flow path therebetween for the gas stream from which fluid particles are to be separated. A smooth curved arcuate portion is formed in each Wall member defining a turning zone for the gas stream. Planar portions are formed in the wall members immediately downwstream of said arcuate portions defining a linear gas flow zone. A baffle surface is formed on the planar surface of the wall extending from the concave surface defining the turning zone so that the fluid particles which are heavier than the gas are turned less and impinge on said baflle surface. A plurality of ripples in said partition wall immediately following the baffle surface provide drainage channels for the liquid particles entrained on the baflie surface.
The specific details of a preferred embodiment of the invention and their mode of functioning will be particularly pointed out in clear, concise and exact terms in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a substantially complete separator designed according to the teachings of the present invention provided with partition walls of the type substantially illustrated in FIGURE 2, with a portion of the separator housing removed in order to expose internal physical structure; and
FIGURE 2 schematically illustrates in horizontal sectional view details of three inventive partition walls forming two flow channels for the separator depicted in FIG- URE 1.
Referring to the drawing, in FIGURE 1 there is depicted in perspective view an embodiment of inventive separator unit S designed according to the teachings of the present invention. For clarity a portion of the bound ary walls 20a of the separator housing 20 have been removed in order to expose internal structure. Additionally the front partition walls have been shown as broken away. It will be seen that the separator S incorporates the separator housing 20 forming a main flow channel or chamber 23 for the main gas stream. In housing 20 a plurality of partition walls 21 are arranged in substantially upright manner and equally spaced from one another. Between any two neighboring partition walls 21 there is always formed a flow channel 24 provided'for dividing a gas stream, such as air, conducting fluid particles, such as water, and flowing in the direction of the indicated arrows, into separate component or branch streams and for multiple turning or deflecting (here illustrated as a fourfold turning) of such branch streams. The flow channels 24 are generally always closed at their top and bottom ends by a corresponding wall of the separator housing 20. The lowermost portion or region 22 of the housing 20 serves as a collecting vessel for the fluid deposited at the partition walls 21 and is appropriately connected with a suitable outlet conduit or tap, not shown in the drawing.
Additionally, if the situation requires there can be provided a perforated intermediate floor or base, a socalled false bottom within the separator S, upon which the partition walls 21 are erected so that the compartment formed beneath such intermediate floor or false bottom is capable of serving as a collecting vessel or basin for the separated fluid. Advantageously, a collecting vessel of this type is screened-off or shielded from the gas stream. It is, however, an advantage of the inventive separator that such an intermediate floor or false bottom is not absolutely necessary, and that the partition walls can be immersed in the lower portion or erected at the bottom of the housing of the separator serving as a collecting vessel or basin 22 for the separated fluid, without the danger of a whirling-up of the separated fluid. Due to the path of flow of the 'gas current or stream achieved with the inventive separator, it is not necessary to provide a specific shielding of the collecting vessel from such gas current.
FIGURE 2 shows in schematic cross-section three partition walls 30, 46 and 47. It will be understood, however, that the number of partition walls, each of which are advantageously of similar construction so that the separator S can be assembled from a plurality of them, is dependent upon the width of the air or gas flow channel 23 in which such partition walls are arranged. Since these partition walls 30, 46 and 47 are each of the same construction, the description to follow will primarily concern itself with details of the physical structure of a single one of such partition walls, such as partition wall member 30.
More precisely, the partition walls 30, 46 and 47 depicted in FIGURE 2, by way of example, each embody a substantially sheet-like body member 60 formed of galvanized sheet iron for instance, which after fabrication is processed so as to remove any oily substances, such as grease or fat therefrom. Each of these partition walls exhibits primary undulations or corrugations, generally designated by reference character P. The Wave length of the primary undulations is represented by reference character L the undulation or wave height or depth by reference character H and the radius of curvature by reference character R It will further be observed that at the regions 33, 39-, 44, and 34, 48, 51 of the flow channels 37 and 38 respectively, formed by the partition walls 30, 46 and 47, the latter additionally possess secondary undulations U in the form of wave-like furrows, rills, grooves, ripplings or the like, hereinafter conveniently referred to simply as ripples 61. The wave length or spacing between the crest or top of two neighboring secondary waves or ripples 61 is designated by reference character and the undulation or wave height of depth by reference character h Moreover, the number of secondary waves or ripples 61 is dependent upon the quantity of liquid e.g. water which is to be removed which, in turn, is dependent upon the height of the separator. The spacing or distance of the partition walls 30, 46 and 47 etc. from one another, measured at right angles to the arrow 31 schematically representing the inflow of the gas stream, is represented by reference character b. It can also be seen that with respect to the inflow direction of the air flowing through the separator the portions of the partition walls defining the flow channel regions 33 and 39 for instance are differently directed or inclined, wherein the, angle of inclination of such wall portions in each direction is designated by reference character a Partition walls designed according to the present invention wherein the above designated values which determine the shape of the primary and secondary undulations lie between the following boundary values, for illustrative values of 11 between millimeters and SO millimeters, have proven themselves in practice to be particularly favorable:
At this point it is briefly mentioned that the parameters of R and 04 are decisive for obtaining the desired gradual turning of the gas stream moving through the flow channels.
Turning attention once again to specific details of a preferred embodiment of partition Walls depicted in FIG- URE 2, it will be appreciated that the gas current e.g. air flows in the direction of the arrow 31 and is subdivided into component or branch streams in the individual flow channels 37 and 38. As already stated, the partition walls 30, 46 and 47 are spaced from one another a distance b, assumed to be 25 millimeters in this instance, and these partition walls are all of the same construction.
Considering now details of the physical structure of a given partition wall, such as partition wall 30, it will be recognized that the first wall portion or section 32 at both of its faces or sides is smooth. This smooth wall portion 32 possesses a curvature which reduces with its length and has a starting or initial tangent portion 32a disposed substantially parallel to the arrow 31. Such initial tangent portion defines the inlet end of the relevant partition wall 30. From the inlet end the wall forms a smooth curved arcuate portion leading to a smooth planar portion 32b of this smooth wall portion 32 having an angle of inclination (1 with respect to the direction of the arrow 31 which in the illustrated embodiment is 34. Thus the smooth curved arcuate portions of portions 32 define a turning zone for the air stream flowing therebetween, while the planar portions at the end of portion 32 define a linear flow zone. At face 62b lying on the planar surface of the planar portion of wall portion 32 a baffle wall section for the flow channel 38 is provided, while the opposite face or side 62a of wall portion 62 provides for the flow channel 37 a guide wall section in the linear flow zone defined by the planar surfaces 62a and 62b. The linear flow zone is continued through regions 33 and 34 on opposed sides of partition Wall 30. Rippled portions 320 are formed in the partition walls with secondary undulations U in the form of ripples 61 which are essentially of sinusoidal-shape and include wave peaks 49 closer to the wall face 62b defining the baffle wall section and wave valleys 50 directed away from such face 62b of said baflfle wall section. It will further be seen that the secondary undulations U are displaced out of the center of the partition wall 30 such that its wave peaks or tops 49 do not extendfrom an ideal boundary or tangent line 63 taken through these peaks 49, such line 63 being shown dotted in the drawing of FIGURE 2, into the flow channel 38 bounded .by the relevant baflie wall section. In other words, the individual ripples 61 of the secondary undulations U at the face 62b of the partition wall defining a baflle wall section do not extend into the flow channel 38 bounded by such baffle wall section, and the peak portions 49 at the considered baflle wall section lie to one side of the tangent line 63 which is outside of the flow channel 38 and facing away from said baflie wall section. Such arrangement of the secondary undulations U has surprisingly proven itself to be particularly effective for reducing the pressure drop or losses.
It will further be observed that following each rippled portion 320 of the partition walls 30, 46 and 47 defining the flow channels 37 and 38 there appears a respective flow channel region 70 and 71 which provides a so-called expansion zone. This is so since it will be recognized that the wall portion 72 of each aforesaid partition wall and bounding the corresponding expansion zone of the flow channel is smooth, that is devoid of ripples, so that each branch of the gas stream can move into its associated flow channel region 70 and 71 which is larger in cross-sectional area than the preceding flow channel regions 33 and 34 faced by the rippled portions 320. Thus, the gas stream can again expand in these aforesaid expansion zones. Although in reality the face 72a of the wall portion 72 still provides a certain baflling action upon the gas stream moving through flow channel region 34 for instance, the actual bafile wall section of partition wall 30 is still considered to be comprised of the smooth wall portion 32 and the subsequent rippled wall portion 320.
Following the just-considered expansion zones 70 and 71 of the flow channels 37 and 38 respectively, are the socalled turning or deflecting zones 73 and 74 respectively. Each such deflecting zone is bounded by a curved wall portion 35 possessing a radius of curvature R the magnitude of which together with the value of a is chosen such as to gradually turn or deflect the gas-stream branch flowing through the relevant flow channel. Once again, it is pointed out that while the face 35a of the curved deflecting or turning wall portion 35 provides a certain baflle action for the next successive baflle wall section of partition wall 30for such next successive baflle wall section the same reference numerals are again employed for corresponding wall portions, yet with the addition of a prime marking-nonetheless the actual baffle wall section is again considered to comprise the wall portion 62' incorporating the smooth wallportion 32' followed by the rippled wall portion 32c.
The secondary undulations U of the wall portions 62 and 62' advantageously begin at that location where there is terminated the turning or deflecting of the inflowing air, in other words are disposed at the end region of the corresponding baflie wall section in the direction of gas flow and begin directly subsequent to the smooth wall portion 32 or 32'. Additionally, such secondary undulations of the wall portion 62 end before the curvature of the second point of turning, that is where the Wall portion 35 begins, and prior to the expansion Wall 72. In the illustrated embodiment the secondary undulations U exhibit, by way of illustration, a height or depth h of 4.5 millimeters and a wave length A of 9 millimeters. The smooth curved defleeting Wall section 35, the curvature of which first continually increases with the length, then again drops-off, as already indicated can provide at one face 35a a portion of the baflle wall section for the flow channel 37 and at the opposite face 35b a portion of the guide wall section for the flow channel 38. As previously explained, the following flow channel region 39 is faced by a wall portion 320 which exhibits secondary undulations U incorporating ripples 61 of the same shape as the wall portion 32c of the flow channel region 33. Here again, such secondary undulations are formed such that the wave peaks or tops 49 do not extend out of the theoretical wall or tangent line 40 into the floW channel 37, in other Words, the arrangement is exactly as previously described. The theoretical boundary or tangent line 40 is inclined through the angle 2a =68 with respect to the theoretical boundary or tangent line 63.
Once again, an expansion zone or flow channel region 70 and 71 follows the flow channel regions 39. and 48 respectively. A smooth wall portion 72' of each partition wall and bounding the corresponding expansion zone has one face 72a thereof providing a certain baflling action for the preceding baflie wall section defined by the face 625 of the Wall portion 62. Here again, the expansion zones 70' and 71' are followed by turning or deflecting zones 73 and 74' respectively, bounded by the respective curved turning wall portion 35, designed and functioning in the same manner as previously considered with regard to turning zones 73 and 74.
It will be recognized that the smooth turning wall portion 35' followsthe wall portion 72'. The curvature of this turning wall portion 35 initially increases with its length, then again drops-off, again forming at face 35a to a certain extent a bafile Wall section for the flow channel 38 and at the opposite face a guide wall section for the flow channel 37. The following flow channel region 42 incorporating wall portion 42a merges with the preceding turning wall portion 35'. This wall portion 42a is smooth and is inclinedthrough the angle 2u =68 with respect to the theoretical boundary or tangent line 40 and lies substantially parallel to the theoretical boundary or tangent line 63. One face 42b of such wall portion 42a provides a baflle wall section for the flow channel bounded by such face 42b. However, since at this location most of the water has already been separated by the upstream located baflie wall sections previously considered, it is not absolutely necessary to provide a rippled zone at this baflle wall section. The advantage of having such baflle wall section devoid of a rippled zone is that pressure losses are reduced. The smooth wall portion 42a of this flow channel region 42 subsequently transforms into the curved wall portion 43a of the curved deflecting region 43, the curvature of which increases with the length. This curved wall portion 43a transforms into a wall portion 44a of the flow channel region 44 which is inclined through the angle a =34 with respect to the wall portion 42a of channel region 42 and is again disposed substantially parallel to the gas inflow direction arrow 31. The wall portion 44:: of section 44 also exhibits secondary undulations U which contact the theoretical boundary or tangent line 45 as previously explained, so that the ripples 61 thereof do not physically enter into the flow channel 37. The ripples 61 of wall portion 44a serve to collect any water separated at the face 42b of the preceding bafile wall section, to thereby prevent such water from being carried away by the outflowing air current.
Consistent with the foregoing explanation, it will be appreciated that whenever one face of a distinct wall portion or section of a partition wall functions as a baflle wall section for the defined flow channel bounded thereby, then the opposite face of this wall section functions as a guide wall section for the neighboring flow channel. This sequence of baffle wall sections and guide wall sections with intermediate disposed deflecting or turning 10- cations is the same for all of the partition walls of a separator which extend parallel to one another. Moreover, it will be appreciated that at least some of the baflie wall sections incorporate a rippled zone at the end region thereof.
In the considered embodiment of partition wall member 30 it may be conveniently assumed that the portion of such partition wall lying between the region designated by reference character X provides the actual separating zone, which is then followed by the portion of the partition wall 30 extending between reference character Y providing a so-called straightening or rectifying zone. This straightening or rectifying zone, in the first instance, serves to impart the proper direction of flow to the component or branch stream and in that direction which such branch stream is to flow further. Since secondary undulations in the form of ripples 61 are also provided at the end portion or wall portion 44a there again also appears a baflle wall section and at the opposite face a guide wall section.
It will also be understood that each of the ripples 61 of any of the secondary undulations U each include a first wall surface 65 which is advantageously inclined at an angle which is greater than the inclination of the associated baflle Wall section to thereby define an impact surface for the fluid particles entrained by the gas stream, and a second wall surface 66 advantageously inclined at an angle smaller than the inclination of the relevant baflle wall section to provide means for withdrawing fluid particles impinging against the aforesaid impact surface of the associated ripple.
Furthermore, it is here mentioned that the parameters determining the shape of the undulations P, U, in the described preferred embodiment, by way of illustration and not limitation, possess the following values:
Considering now the operation of the inventive separator S, it should be understood that the air flows in the direction of the arrow 31 into the neighboring flow channel 37 and 38. Due to the curved wall portion 32 of the partition wall 30 the air current is correspondingly deflected or turned in these flow channels. Specifically considering the flow in channel 38 it will be understood that the mass of air and the therein contained water droplets have the tendency to flow further in their original direction and, therefore, consolidate or concentrate at the partition wall 30, whereas on the other hand, a smaller concentration of air collects at the partition wall 46. The water droplets contained in the air current impinge against the curved wall portion 32 of the partition wall 30. Since the partition walls after fabrication have fat or grease removed therefrom, a coherent and continuous film forms at face 62b from the separated water droplets. The formation of this film is of decisive importance. The smooth construction of the wall portion 32 of the partition wall 30 turning the air current, considerably reduces the pressure losses in the separator. The air current displaces the water film formed by the separated water droplets into the zone of the flow channel region 34 having the wall portion 32c provided with secondary undulations U in the form of ripples 61. Since the secondary undulations U in this region'34, as previously explained, do not extend into the flow channel 38 the air current glides practically without being affected by these secondary undulations along the face 62b past the wall portion 32c of this region 34 and behaves as if the theoretical or ideal line 63 builds the wall. Consequently, hardly any turbulence or whirling is formed in the valleys 50 of the secondary undulations U which could again whirl-up droplets out of the water film.
It is important that the tops or peaks of the ripples 61 of the secondary undulations U are well rounded and do not exhibit any edges. As a result, there is achieved the favorable effect that no water droplets can be entrained from the film by the air current flowing by, which would otherwise be the case if there appeared edges. The valleys 50 of the ripples 61 of the secondary undulations U can exhibit very pronounced radii of curvature. However, according to a preferred embodiment the wave peaks 49 and valleys 50 exhibit the same radius of curvature. Due to the opposite curvature of these wave peaks and valleys the fluid film is subjected to oppositely directed surface tension vectors which bring about a dilference in pressure in the Water film between the wave peaks and the wave valleys. This pressure difference is directed such that the water film is sucked into the wave valleys 50. The water can then flow downwardly under the eifect of gravity in the vertical ripples 61 which act as drainage channels. If the first ripple is filled with water then it overflows in the direction of flow of the air and the water film is then drawn into the next ripple. Depending upon the quantity of separated water and the height of the separator only one, two or all four of the ripples 61 are employed for conducting away the water.
Since the ripples 61 of the secondary undulations U of the partition wall 46 at the guide wall section 67 thereof project out of the plane of this partition wall 46 the cross-section of the flow channel 38 reduces by about 20%, whereby the velocity of the air in this section increases by about the same amount. Since the secondary undulations U already end before the beginning of the turning location 68 i.e. at the expansion Zone 71, and the flow channel, therefore, again assumes its original cross-section, the velocity of the air again drops before the turning location 74. Consequently, the pressure losses are once again considerably reduced. In addition to this, the gradual turning of the air current by the primary undulations P which are gradually curved, that is, there are no sharp turning locations, provide for an increased separation eifect and 'much lower pressure drop. All of these measures are of particular importance since the inventive separator can also work with high speed cleaners operating with air velocities -up to about '15 meters per second.
At the wall portion 35 of the partition wall 46 the air current is deflected through the angle 2a =68 and smaller water droplets, not removed from the gas current at the wall portion 32 during the first deflection through the angle a =34, impinge against the next bafile wall section including the wall portion 32 of the partition wall 46, forming a water film which is displaced by the air current towards the wall portion 320' provided with secondary undulations U corresponding to those of the flow channel region 39 bounded by the partition Walls 30 and 47. Once again, due to the curvature of the secondary undulations U there appear surface tensions which draw the water film into the ripples 61. The water can then flow downwardly under the action of gravity in these ripples.
For the flow channel 38 the wall portion 32c of the partition wall 30 and provided with the secondary undulations U projects out of this partition wall 30. This, however, has no mentionable influence upon the air in the flow channel 38 since the air current in this region pri- V marily bears against the baifle wall section 32, 320', of the partition wall 46, and only to a smaller degree bears against the guide wall section of the partition wall 30. Larger water droplets possibly still contained in the air current can be further separated out from the air current in the previonsly dis-cussed subsequent non-rippled baffle wall section of each flow channel 37, 38. The separated water droplets move along a path, determined by the displacement force of the air currents and the force of gravity acting upon the channel region 44, where they can flow off in the associated ripples 61 of the secondary undulations U.
When using the inventive device in air conditioning plants for instance, it may be desirable if such small Water droplets which can still evaporate in the air channel after the separator are not separated out. In such case, the inventive separator can be so constructed and operated that larger fluid particles are indeed separated out, but very small droplets are left in the air current and form therein a fluid mist or haze. This can be of advantage with water separators in which a final saturation of the gas is desirable.
As construction materials suitable for the partition walls of the inventive separator, there can be employed metals, particularly iron, which as the situation may require can be provided with suitable protective coatings e.g. phosphate coatings, electroplated coatings, etc. However, also synthetic materials such as mineral base materials can be employed which permit working thereof into corrugated or rippled sheets or plates. However, in all instances there is to be taken into consideration the fact that at least the surface of the partition wall incorporates or is formed of a material which can be imbued or wetted by the fluid to be separated. In this regard, the partition walls can be either completely formed of such a material or else, only have their surfaces provided with such a material. In any case, the fluid to be separated must be capable of building a film at the surface of the partition walls. Water and fluids mixable or miscible With water, as for example lowmolecular alcohol, form for example upon metals, mineral base or ceramic materials and the like, films, whereby, as indicated, a suitable removal of fat or grease from partition wall surfaces of the aforementioned type generally improves the separation effect. Partition wall sheets which are strongly oiled or covered with fat or grease are thus to have their fat or grease removed for the separation of water.
It can be advantageous to improve the wettability of the surface of the partition wall by application of suitable coatings to the partition wall. A certain surface roughness or, in fact, porosity of the partition wall material can be of advantage if such improves the wettability or film forming ability under the encountered conditions. Furthermore, it is advantageous to select the depth and form of the ripples or corrugations in such a manner that the fluid separated at the partition wall can flow downwardly in a manner as easy as possible.
The total amount of fluid separated at the partition walls streams away from the lower end of the ripples or corrugations. The ripples and particularly those ripples which are situated closer to the outlet end of the separator (viewed in the direction of gas flow) are thereby less charged or loaded with fluid at their upper end, and therefore possess under circumstances at their upper end a greater separation effect than at their lower end. This can advantageously be exploited in that the height of the partition walls can be maintained smaller at the outlet side or region of the separator than at its inlet side or region, as by suitably tapering the partition walls from a suitable location at its upper end downwardly in the direction of the outlet end. The advantage of such a measure resides in a decrease of the pressure drop or total flow resistance of the separator and in a certain saving in material.
While there is shown and described a present preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be distinctly understood that the invention is not limited thereto but may be otherwise variously embodied and practised within the scope of the following claims.
What is claimed is:
1. In a separator for the separation of fluid particles from a gas stream: a pair of spaced substantially identical partition wall members defining a flow path therebetween for the gas stream; a smooth curved arcuate portion in each wall member defining a turning zone for the gas stream in the flow path between a concave surface of an arcuate portion of one wall of said pair of wall members and a convex surface of the arcuate portion of the other wall of said pair of wall members; planar portions in each wall member of said pair extending from the downstream end of said arcuate portions, said planar portions defining a linear gas flow zone in the flow path; a smooth bafi'le surface on said planar portion of the one Wall extending from the concave surface defining the turning zone and lying on an extension of a tangent line from the downstream end of the concave surface, said baffle surface lying at an angle to the direction of flow of the gas stream before it is turned so that the fluid particles which are heavier than the gas and are turned less than the gas impinge on said baflle surface; a plurality of ripples on said one partition wall immediately following said smooth bafiie surface and formed as a continuation thereof, each ripple having a peak extending toward the gas stream flow path, which peak lies on a side of a straight tangent line extended from said bafile surface away from the flow path, with the valleys between the peaks of each ripple forming drainage channels for the 10 moisture separated on said baffle surface; and a guide surface formed on the convex surface of the curved portion of the other wall and the surface of the planar portion of the other wall opposite the baffle surface of said one wall.

Thank you for your reply.Yes I have tried Fomapan 100-one roll. You advised me about R09 developer for it. I've recently moved house and have no darkroom yet, so I've not printed it , but it does look rather like the old Agfapan 100. Both have an emulsion which is matt. One difference; Agfapan 100 in Rodinal had a warm colour, like it had been developed in Pyrocat almost. Fomapan 100 has a cold tone.
Yes I have tried Apx 100. That was when I realised how good the Agfapan 100 had been! I liked the grain better and it just had a more gutsy look about it.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — He's the man with the best chance of taking down Shaun White at the Olympics.
No matter. Danny Davis says he'll drop into the halfpipe Tuesday with "no expectations."
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — He's the man with the best chance of taking down Shaun White at the Olympics.
No matter. Danny Davis says he'll drop into the halfpipe Tuesday with "no expectations."
"I've had a great season so far. I've had a blast. Like I've said, this is just another halfpipe contest for me," Davis says.
Not that he doesn't value the importance of the Olympics, or the heartache they can cause.
Davis all but punched his ticket to Vancouver four years ago when he shockingly beat White in an Olympic qualifier in California. Not long after that, he was celebrating, and broke his pelvis in an alcohol-infused ride on an all-terrain vehicle.
That injury scrubbed him out of the Olympics. A broken femur two years later — when he bashed into a pole while trying to ride around a fence, of all things — set him back again.
Asked in an interview last December whether he's trying to care of unfinished business or make a comeback, he didn't hesitate.
"It's a comeback," he said. "It's all about being a better snowboarder and being good again. Unfinished business is like I had it set in my head that I was going to the Olympics. But going to the Olympics is a tough, ridiculous thing in the States."
True to that, Davis looked like he wouldn't make the trip to Sochi. He finished seventh and 14th in the first two qualifiers and simply wasn't performing at the level he's capable.
After a break and some more practice, he flipped the script.
He got one victory in a qualifier White didn't take part in, then finished second to him two days later.
His victory at the Winter X Games two weeks ago was a defining moment. He won with lots of stylish tricks — fancy grabs, tough spins — but bypassed some of the most difficult gymnastics-like moves that White will try.
