watering ban
well it started / some local towns and citys have banned all outside watering / i think im gonna break my once a week plan and go to every 3 days b4 it happens in my area / if all else fails i"ll load up all the buckets i got in the back of the truck and go down to the river and get water
Hi junktruck,
It looks like the only city with the ban still being enforced today is Lee's Summit. They can still water by hand with a hose.
Taken from an article published in this mornings Lee's Summit Journal:
To preserve trees, flowers or other landscaping property owners will still be allowed to use watering cans, or hand-held hoses with nozzles. But no unattended open hoses are allowed, nor soaker hoses, irrigation systems or sprinklers.
Honestly I'd stick with the weekly plan. Increasing the frequency is only going to make the plants more water dependent, not less. The weekly program will help them tolerate a 10 day or more regimen if it becomes necessary. Just something to consider.
Meanwhile I'd start stockpiling. Pick up a 55 gallon barrel somewhere for storage and start saving cooking water and any other grey water you may have available.
I assume your plants are already heavily mulched?
Can anyone with a background in law explain to me the legal authority of a water company to write tickets? I could see if it was a city water company; they'd just use the city police. But rural water companies do not have any government affiliation. I am thus wondering if they have any authority to write citations.
Cole Robbie I don't know about legalities,but civuc responsibility would dictate obeying the ban.
Most bans usually allow for food crop watering unless water levels are severly depleted .
In many states water is a precious commodity everyday.
We have had total outdoor watering bans on occasion over the past years, but exception is always made for home vegetable gardens. It could be worth your time to check to see if the ban includes watering your vegetables.
Some have suggested you have a civic duty to honor the ban. I would say your civic duty is to feed your family. Any food you buy is going to take water anyways + fuel to get it to your market. If water was really scare then showing bans should take effect before gardening (for food) watering bans.
I would ignore the ban and keep watering your garden discretely. Just make sure your lawn is a nice crunchy brown (like mine) and I doubt you will be cited.
I water my garden/perennial beds after dark since we have had so many 100 degree days.
I also started watering a portion of the front yard and the trees, so they keep their foliage.
The smaller hard maple was more affected and lost too many of it's leaves early on.
I hope my watering during this hot spell will keep it from dying back and losing limbs.
Read Cadillac Desert and you will get some insight as to why we're having water problems. Much of the land west of the Mississippi depends on irrigation, not rainfall for agriculture. Water is being pumped from the aquifer faster than it is being replenished and virtually every river is dammed and/or diverted.
Even here in VA some of the lakes are not being replenished.
It is my belief you have the right to support yourself and family with your garden. I do NOT feel it is your God-given right to have green grass.
Sorry got into this with my co-worker. His argument was he would pay the fine if he got a ticket and what was the harm. I could not make him understand there might not BE enough water.
sigh. Just a rant. Going to empty the dehumidifier water into our rain barrel now.
In our area, water bans don't apply to vegetable gardens. My lawn is a crispy brown right now, and there's no real rain in the forecasts so I assume some sort of ban will be coming soon. I'll be giving the perennial bed a good watering this morning after the veggie patch is done.
How often does everyone water their gardens? I water my tomatoes that are growing in containers every day, I have to in this extreme heat. I water them early in the a.m. and then again in the evening, right around dusk. They are dry when I go to water them, we've had heat in the mid to high 90s for the past couple of weeks.
I also water my perennial beds almost daily, especially my Hydranges, they look extremely sick if I do not water them every day.
The heat is suppose to break in my area starting tomorrow (Thursday), when it will go down into the 80s which is normal for the month of July. Hopefully I will be able to cut back on the watering.
I've never had BER in containers or ground. That being said, I water tomatoes in hot weather daily in containers, usually every two days for peppers. Tomatoes that have large fruit often require twice a day in containers. In ground, I water tomatoes much less often, especially when I've mulched them well, even in sandy soil. I've noticed that tomato roots go VERY deep in sandy soil.
Soaker hoses may lead to unattended watering. I use a 55 gal barrel so I IF forget to turn the soaker off it just runs out.
Why of course you can also get BER in the ground. Uneven watering aids BER. Containers drying out faster don't help to prevent BER. AND don't go on vacation.
I have a well and have been siphoning bathtub water out the window for weeks. It is a mess. I use a fountain pump to get it started. The water doesn't go far and neither did the water I saved in stock tanks. I wash things in my kitchen sink in a tub and pour that water in a bucket to water pots on my porch. Saving water is time consuming. I have stopped watering some tomatoes that don't have many green ones on them. In a way it is an experiment to see if they can live and maybe recover if it does rain.
I have found that tomatoes that germinate right in the garden (from last years culls) seem to need less watering. Probably because the roots are more established when they are NOT replanted.
Keep that in mind next year. They germinate later but seem to hold up better for me.
I find from my experience with last years EXTREME drought in Texas and 70 days above 100 and living 100% on rainwater collection, that when there is no ground moisture anywhere, that growing in containers is the only way to go. My soil is a very porous limestone soil and one could pore a steady stream on it and it did not stay anywhere close to my plants roots. I find that containers hold water by the plants roots and in a huge long drought, the ground does not do this. It tales less water to water the pot. One can add amendments that hold on to water also.
I ended up walking away from my vegetable garden and letting everything in my perennials dry up and shrivel away.. Most of the natives reseeded in the wet winter. I ran out of rain water in July. We had had 5" of rain in 12 months in an area that usually has a 34" average (deceptive average). WE had been doing major conservation practices and still doing some watering of containers and trees. I had to truck in water at a very pricey amount. Hard awful water. I am so spoiled with rainwater. We got our first rains in September .
I added clay and expanded shale and coconut coire to my beds in my garden to help with water retention. Irregation is a way of life here even on a good year. Just less.
I hope your drought does not last as long as ours. In my area of Texas, We have rain but the rains have not fallen enough in the areas that we need it to to refill our reservoirs. So that is why we are still on that disaster relief map. they have denied the rice farmers water for their second crop because we are still at 49% full in the Colorado River (in Texas) reservoirs. We are still on Stage 2 water restrictions.
Yes I have been to Hippy Hollow , but not since they made it into a park and started to charge money for it. ( Not since the Hippies are gone). TOO CROWDED, too many gawkers in boats.. Lake travis is 50 feet down and awful for swimming these last couple of years because of the drought. I live about 10 miles from Lake Travis.
I am chopping my indeterminate tomatoes down and I will get another crop in the fall. The nights are now to hot for toms to set.

Plymouth is one of the vehicle brands for which Car Parts Warehouse deals with the replacement parts. For this brand of vehicle there are various parts like the Plymouth oxygen sensor, AC parts, steering parts and all other parts required for a vehicle available with us. The Plymouth oxygen sensor is available for various models like the Barracuda, the Breeze, the Caravelle, the Colt, the Fury, the Laser, the Reliant, the Scamp, the Suburban, the Trailduster, the Volare, the Satellite and the Prowler.
The engine is a major part of the vehicle system in which the amount of oxygen has to be checked regularly. As the engine is a device that involves the fuels for its performance, the oxygen must be available in a proper amount to avoid any down struck. The Plymouth oxygen sensor is a device fitted in the engine system to measure the amount of oxygen in it. The Plymouth oxygen sensor can be fixed either inside the fuel pump or between the fuel pump and the engine depending on the need. Now it would be clear that the purpose of the Plymouth oxygen sensor is to measure the ratio of the oxygen in the vehicle engine. The fuel injection system was manually operated previously. The recent technological updates have paved way for the electronic fuel system in the engine of the vehicle. In such a system, the injection and emission control of fuel is made possible only with the Plymouth oxygen sensors.
The Plymouth oxygen sensor should work in a proper condition. Only then proper fuel emission can be made possible in the electronic fuel systems. If you come across any problem in the performance of the Plymouth oxygen sensor, due concentration must be given to it. The worn factory fitted Plymouth oxygen sensor must be replaced with the new original quality part.
From Car Parts Warehouse, you can find the high quality and affordable online prices for the replacement of the Plymouth oxygen sensor. We sell only original equipment (OEM) and aftermarket replacement parts. You can order the Plymouth oxygen sensor or the other parts from the online catalog by selecting the make, model and year of purchase of your vehicle.
In case if there is any dis-comfort in the order that you have placed with us, feel free to contact the toll free line 1-800-565-5021. We have a sales and support team with the United States based customer support. You can also place your queries through the email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Publishers Weekly09/02/2013
In an impressive debut, Stilling deconstructs the body of lore surrounding Peter Pan, reimagining Neverland as an in-between place where boys who die too soon wait until their loved ones are ready to heal and move on, with Peter as their immortal leader and ferryman to the After. Ten-year-old Preston Tumber eats a poisoned cookie and wakes up in Neverland. While his grief-stricken parents attempt to find closure in the real world, the man accused of murdering Preston is quickly sent to prison. When Preston's best friend is likewise poisoned, the boys realize their killer is still at large, and Preston vows to find a way to cross the boundaries and save their last living friend. Meanwhile, flashbacks unravel the true history behind Peter's relationship with Winifred, aka Wendy Darling. Stilling's take on this familiar tale is provocative and poignant, rich with emotion and powerfully described, laced with profound contemplations about dying too soon and growing up too quickly. (Dec.)

Wanted - Picture of nicandra
Aurore(Zone 4/5 NY)March 3, 2010
Hi I'm making a guessing game of flower pictures- guess the name of the flower from the picture -and was able to find free clip art for all the flowers except nicandra. Would any one have a picture of the blossom I could use?- preferably the bluish/purple because that would be most regonizable. I would just need something about postage stamp size.

I received an email from a new iPhone developer, asking how much (s)he should charge for an app that has features X, Y, and Z. If you're a new software developer, or if you're interested in making an app and want to understand the process, this is worth a read:
I stopped at Odradeks Coffe and Fare on Avenue J and East 16th Street on my way home tonight.
The atmosphere is fantastic and Joe, the owner who served me, is friendly and knowledgable.
I had the idea for a Hatzalah app on a Friday morning while I was standing in
the back of the Bialystoker Synagogue on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
Some days you just need a coffee the size of Manhattan, or Montana, or Texas, or Brazil, or the entire Soviet bloc.
If you're updating your iPhone or iPad to iOS when it becomes available today, you'll get better results if you connect to iTunes instead of doing it over the air.
Many of my friends have stopped me over the last 12 hours and asked me what my "thoughts" are on the iPhone 6. I've been keenly observing Facebook conversations, media reactions, and eavesdropping on conversations, and I'd like to weigh in.
The New York Post reported one year ago that the Brooklyn College spent over $100,000 to replace the logo because of what it looked like.
The following article discusses the recent events in Israel, and comes from my cousin who lives there. He wishes to remain anonymous, but I think this is worth sharing, and I do so with his permission. Beyond this sentence are his words:
I originally wrote this profile back in April 2014 for a journalism class. When I first shared it online, I received some backlash because of the nature of the story. Although I quickly removed all traces of the article, I asked David if he was really ok with me sharing it. He reassured me that he was, and that if he was uncomfortable with the story that follows, wouldn't have agreed to interview for my paper in the first place. With that disclaimer, I present this profile:

Public hearing addresses deeper mining, new conveyor permits for Lehigh
Representatives from the Maryland Department of the Environment, Army Corps of Engineers and Lehigh Cement Co. joined together at a public hearing in New Windsor, Maryland, last night to answer questions regarding proposed permits for Lehigh, the Carroll County Times reported.
The public hearing was scheduled to address permits that would allow Lehigh to mine deeper limestone deposits at its New Windsor quarry and to build a conveyor system that would transport the limestone from the New Windsor quarry to the company's Union Bridge facility.
Digging deeper would allow Lehigh to produce 12,000 tons of limestone a day over a longer period of time than the company is capable of now.
In order to mine deeper, Lehigh needs a permit that will allow the company to expand its mineral resource area from 283 acres to 535 acres. The permit would allow Lehigh to mine limestone at its New Windsor quarry for 70 years.
The proposed conveyor system would be 4.5 miles long and completely enclosed.

Food Parade
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
Food Parade, Inc. (known as Greenfield's ShopRite) is a Long Island based supermarket chain with a total of three stores. Food Parade is a member of the ShopRite retailers' cooperative and therefore trades as ShopRite. Food Parade is owned by the Greenfield family, and calls itself Greenfield's ShopRite in local advertising and in store branding.
Food Parade began in the 1960s, with three stores. Two in Queens, and one in Smithtown, New York. In 1972 the existing three stores closed, and a new store located in Hicksville, New York opened. Another store located in Plainview opened in the Morton Village Shopping Centre in the 1980s. In 1990 the Hicksville store was also moved to Plainview. During the mid-1990s both stores saw expansion and renovation. The Commack location opened in January 2011. Food Parade was formerly a member of the Foodtown cooperative until 1997, when they switched over to ShopRite.

Reader Redesign: $1K Goes A Long Way
Now that we're back home (and back in the swing of things), let's start this off with a deck sneak peek. Oh yes, more holes are happening. So rest assured that we're working towards a passed inspection (remember when we failed here?) and we hope to have an update on that early next week. So be sure to hold your breath for us!
But back to our Reader Redesign. Despite this email starting off with a cheer to my alma mater's rival, I couldn't help but share this awesome bathroom makeover with an even more awesome price tag. Plus, although we may not agree on college teams, we can definitely relate to a master bathroom that feels less than masterful. Here's Melissa's note:
What's up John, Sherry, Clara, and Burger? We are just down the road from you in Blacksburg (go Hokies!) and wanted to share our master bathroom reno with you. We have five kids and squeeze home projects in whenever we can. When we bought the house, the only thing we weren't crazy about was the size of the master bed and bath, but we loved everything else, so we took the plunge. The "Before" (90's linoleum lighthouse/sailboat honey oak themed bath) did not feel masterful at all…
We didn't want to pay for a big addition or re-model, so we worked with what we had and gave ourselves an $1,000 budget for new floors, a new marble counter, fixtures, lighting, shelving, accessories, etc.
Down came the oak cabinet above the toilet to open things up a bit and we installed floating shelves and baskets to hide all of our stuff. We removed the mirror and replaced it with a clearance one from Lowe's. A wire magazine rack from TJ Maxx was added to balance the off-set toilet. We kept the vanity and painted it with Benjamin Moore's Impervo Paint in White Dove, but installed a new marble top and faucet from Home Depot.
We went right over the lineoleum with allure laminate flooring from Home Depot – it's water resistant and we've loved it in our downstairs bath (it's really easy to install yourself).
The shower curtain is just a basic waffle weave shower curtain from Target – like the one in your bath! The paint color is Fossil Grey from Glidden's old colors. Total spent: $995 for everything… towels, toilet paper holder, garbage can, the whole shebang.
Thanks for looking/reading! If you're ever in town and want to go to a game, we would love to have Clara come play! – Thanks, Melissa
Didn't Melissa do an amazing job? It's awesome to squeeze in new floors, counters, accessories, paint, and shelving for under 1K – and we love that she worked with what she had when she could (like repainting and retopping the vanity). It looks like they added at least 5K of value to their house with that update and most people wouldn't believe it wasn't a total gut job. You can see more of their makeovers on Melissa's blog too. What's your favorite part? Sherry's obsessed with the mirror and those floating shelves and I think that new flooring and marble top is the icing on the cake, er, vanity.
Psst- We picked a winner for this week's giveaway, so click here to see if it's you.

Great redesign!! We used the same flooring in our kitchen – it's so easy to install and looks fantastic!
As a Hokie, I'm wondering if they are affiliated with the university . . .
Anyway, I love when people put the magazine racks in the bathroom and don't try to pretend that reading doesn't happen while on the throne!
Oh i can't stand when people keep magazine racks/books, etc. in the bathroom. I know we all do it but i would really rather not see it. I can however appreciate the cute wire rack they found to offset the space.
This bathroom is beautiful! I love the grey they chose for the wall colors. If I hadn't seen the before, I never would've believed they were the same room!
i tried to paint my bathroom cabinet doors the same as they did – white – but once i got the doors off – we couldn't get them back on! they were hanging crooked. we tried FOREVER! and we just couldn't get them on straight :(
i'm looking to make a little curtain for the door instead. even though though i really don't want to. i would love to have the white doors instead.
Gorgeous! We have a small master bathroom too (that we have yet to renovate) and this gives me tons of ideas of affordable ways to give it a major lift! I LOVE the floating shelves, but my favorite part is that magazine rack!
I have seen and pinned this bathroom on pinterest. It is a great makeover and something that I might definitely try for our small bathroom space.
Just wanted to let you know I feel for you on the auger work. I first became associated with an auger 20 years ago when I was about 30. My dad and I decided to put up a fence in my very large back yard. Twenty-seven holes (in one day I might add) later, we still tell auger-tales. It didn't break us though… a few years after that we built a large deck (only 12 holes). You too will survive this!
Yay! Did you guys go out for ice cream with your leftover $5? Hah. Dig the whole thing, and the hanging magazine rack next to the toilet is brilliant.
That makeover is incredible! I've been wondering how to get more storage in my guest bath since it has a pedestal sink. I've never liked the look of those tacky over the toilet storage units, but these floating shelves look great! I'm tempted to try to recreate the look myself.
Great job Melissa and co.!
Gorgeous makeover! I love the flooring and never would have guessed that it's laminate! The paint color and those patterned towels are great too :)
Go Hokies!! I graduated in 2010 and I miss Blacksburg so much! I'm amazed at what they did with such a small bathroom. They really opened it up and made a tiny space feel light and airy. I love the mirror and marble vanity, and the floors polish it all off so well. Great job Melissa!!
I can't get over that rectangular sink! So modern, yet classic. It does wonders for the small space. I'm saving some of these photos for my inspiration folder. Thanks for sharing!
GO HOKIES!! Love the redesign. I'm a huge fan of Grey and White in a bathroom!
Wow Totally gonna pin this one! I love it. The white looks great in the bathroom and I love the floors. Great inspiration.
Blacksburg is the best – Go Hokies! ;) (I couldn't resist . . .)
Love the remodel!
Strangely as I was perusing another site, I noticed John in one of the photos. Scroll down to "Stay at Home Dad."
I'm loving her entire blog! Already pinned a bunch of stuff!
I'm obsessed with that grey box with white lattice pattern – where is that from so I can buy the store out of their stock? :)
I'm pretty sure those are towels!
Hi Courtney! They are actually towels from TJ Maxx folded together.
That actually looks like a pair of folded towels… I bet you could paint/stencil that pattern onto a box with a lid though, would be super cool!
I'm not Melissa but it those like like neatly folded grey towels with a white lattice pattern.
NOOOO!!! I want them so bad but we all know how TJ Maxx works..
I love the hooks in lieu of a towel bar – such a great space saver!
LOVE IT! I had already pinned this bathroom… total inspiration. Thanks so much! :)
I love the shelves and the flooring! I am going to be doing a semi-remodel in my bathroom. Going to use grey on the walls too. I have dark cherry wood cabinets and light foors. Whould you reccomend white floating shelves or dark shelves?
I wish my bathroom looked like their before so I could work on making it their after… but instead, our's is so much worse! Horrible DIY (from previous homeowner) tile everywhere with grout that wasn't sealed properly, an old tub with the window in the shower now, and so on… I can't wait to gut the whole thing and make it worthy of showing off on your blog!
This is great! We're going to give our new (but really, old) bathroom a little love in the coming weeks, and I'm definitely stealing those floating shelves. For what it's worth, I'm also using Katie Bower's wall and vanity colors from her office (?) bathroom makeover. Shamelessly stealing ideas left and right! We also got up close and personal with the auger last weekend…my husband and our friend dug 26 holes for a new fence, that is no joke. And finally, I work for the McIntire School of Commerce at UVa–go Hoos!–and always love seeing John's UVa hat in the pictures. Sorry, that was probably all too much to comment, but ya know, there was a lot here!
WOW. John and Sherry!! Thank you so much….I met you at Haven, I said I was from Blacksburg, but I was too chicken to tell you I sent in our bathroom remodel, but here IT IS! Loved you at Haven btw…my favorite line?? "Be yourself…let your freak flag fly!" I'm serious about Clara coming to play…my kids would love her. Thanks again~

It's the year 1967 and while the Apollo space missions are getting underway and the US are deploying soldiers to Vietnam, a disenchanted student heads home with a broken heart and an empty wallet. On the trip the self-confessed science fiction fanatic meets a mysterious girl who calls herself Emanon. However, while she may seem like an ordinary girl, Emanon claims that even though her physical body is that of a seventeen-year-old, her mental age is over three billion years old. With memories dating back to the single-celled organisms at the beginning of the world right through to the present day, Emanon curses her ability and wonders why a person with such an encyclopaedic knowledge of history should even exist. Now, as the student talks more with Emanon, he begins to realise that reality truly is stranger than fiction.

A wave of children falling to their death from high rises has gripped the UAE over the last few months, and Kipp is appalled by the fact that a lot of these children were left unattended.
April 25, 2012 3:16 by kippreport
"Three-year old boy falls to his death from 14th floor apartment in Sharjah". "Six-year old boy saved from 10th floor fall". "Baby survives fall from 7th floor". "Three-year old falls to death from living room window in Abu Dhabi". "A five-year-old boy and his mother die after separately falling off the balcony of their flat in Dubai".
The tragic headlines are countless – fortunately, the latest one has a happy ending, as a civil defence team rescued a 6-year old boy from plummeting to his death from his apartment window in Ajman. Shockingly, the boy was home alone, as were many of the children who suffered heartbreaking fates. One little girl who died in Abu Dhabi late last year after falling from her fifth floor apartment as her aunt slept in the house had been saved only four weeks before, when a policeman who'd seen her hanging from her kitchen window came to her rescue. She had been left alone in the apartment.
As the spate of headlines horrifies the UAE, Kipp can't help but wonder: how many more tragic deaths before parents take responsibility? And more importantly, when will parents be held accountable for negligence? As authorities work to come up with regulations to address safety standards in high rises, parents are repeatedly being asked to exercise caution, and common sense. In many countries across the world, leaving children below a certain age home alone is a criminal act, punishable by law. Yet, too many of the cases in the UAE involve children being left unsupervised, with direct access to balconies and windows.
There are few things more tragic than losing a child, but enough is enough. Accidents happen all the time, and life can get in the way of parents' attention, but Kipp can't help but feel that parents should be held 100 percent accountable for leaving their children unattended, under any circumstances.

United States Patent France Filed May 4, 1972, Ser. No. 250,287 Claims priority, application France, May 11, 1971, 7116885 Int. Cl. C23c 1/08, 11/08 US. Cl. 161-170 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Boron filaments having a boron carbide antidiffusion coating thereon of a coating thickness of no more than 15 microns. The boron filaments preferably have a tungsten boride core with a boron layer thereon. The coated filaments are useful for reinforcing metal matrices, particularly aluminium or aluminium alloy matrices. The coated filaments may be prepared by heating the filament to 900 to 1300" C. in the presence of hydrogen, a hydrocarbon, and a boron halide so as to deposit B 0 on the filament. An apparatus for production of the filaments comprises a tubular cell provided with gas inlet and outlet conduits and electrically-insulating plugs closing the ends of the cell. Each plug is provided with a passageway therethrough for the filament and is supplied with mercury from a supply conduit. The ends of each passageway are narrowed to substantially the diameter of the filament so that in use the mercury acts as an electrical contact with the filament to enable the latter to be heated by resistance heating yet is retained in the passageway by the narrowed ends to act as a gasket against gas flow through the passageway.
This invention is concerned with coated boron filaments and with a process and apparatus for the production thereof. I
It is known that boron filaments have mechanical properties which make them suitable for use as reinforcing agents in composite materials. For example, a boron filament 100,11. in diameter produced by heating a tungsten wire 12.5,; in diameter in the presence of a mixture of boron trichloride and hydrogen at the reduction temperature of the boron trichloride, has a mean strength of from 35 to 40 t./cm. and a modulus of elasticity of 4200 t./cm. for a density of 2.63 g./cm.
Composite materials consisting of a synthetic resin matrix reinforced with boron filaments are already in use in certain specialised industries (such as the aerospace industry), but their use remains limited because of the low mechanical strength of the resin,..particularly at high temperatures.
It would therefore be advantageous to use metal and metal alloy matrices in filament-reinforced composite materials, but the chemical reactivity of boron with metal matrices, for example aluminium, magnesium, nickel and titanium, makes it impossible to incorporate boron filaments directly in such matrices, irrespective of whether molten metal processing methods or metal spraying by means of plasma arcs are used.
For example, contact between aluminium and a boron filament at a temperature of about 650 0. results in degradation of the filament because of the formation of aluminium boride. The same applies to spraying of this metal by a plasma arc torch. .A boron filament borided in this way loses 80% of its tenstile strength.
We have now discovered that boron carbide (B C) coatings provided on boron filaments reduce the diffusion between the boron and the metal matrix yet do not substantially affect the mechanical properties of the filament.
According to the present invention we therefore provide a boron filament having a boron carbide coating thereon of a coating thickness of no more than 15 microns, and preferably from 3 to 8 microns.
We also provide a method of producing a boron filament having a boron carbide coating thereon, which comprises heating a boron filament at a temperature of from 900 to 1300 C. (preferably 1150 to 1300 C.) in the presence of a gaseous mixture of hydrogen, a hydrocarbon (such as methane), and a boron halide (such as boron trichloride), the proportions of the gases being sufiicient to form B C, for a sufficient length of time to provide a boron carbide coating on the filament of no more than 15 microns in thickness. The contact time of the filament with the gaseous mixture is preferably from 4 to 6 seconds. If desired, the proportion of the hydrocarbon and/or hydrogen in the gas mixture may be in excess of that stoichiometrically required to form B 0.
In a third aspect of the invention, we provide an apparatus for providing a boron filament with a boron carbide coating thereon which comprises a tubular cell provided with inlet and outlet conduits for the supply and removal of gas, the cell being closed at each end with a plug of electrically-insulating material, each plug having a passageway for the boron filament to pass therethrough, each passageway communicating with a conduit for the supply of mercury thereto and the ends of each passageway being narrowed such that, in use, mercury supplied to the passageway provides an electrical contact with the boron filament passing therethrough but is retained therein by the narrowed ends so as to act as a gasket against flow of gas through the passageway.
The boron carbide coating creates an effective antidiffusion barrier and enables practically all the mechanical properties of the initial boron filament to be retainedafterv aluminium has been sprayed thereon by a plasmaarc torch, so as to give boron filament-reinforced aluminium matrix composite material. A study of X-ray diffraction spectra has shown that there is nointeraction between the coated boron filaments and the aluminium matrix...
The antidiifusion effect of the boron filaments accord;- ing to the invention may be evaluated as follows:
.After plasma arc torch spraying with aluminiumto give a boron filament-reinforced aluminium matrix composite, the aluminium matrix is dissolved by meansof concene trated caustic soda solution and the boron carbide coated. boron filaments are recovered. The mean value ofthe tensile strength of the filaments is then determined. Let R be the mean value of the tensile strength of the coated. boron filament prior to formation of the composite and let R be this mean value after the coatedfilamentshave been sprayed with aluminium and then recovered. The antidiffusion effect maybe defined by the ratio R/R .(and is equal to a maximum of 1).].
The following results were obtained with a boron filaments initially 98 microns in diameter (the filamentnhad,
a 15 micron diameter tungsten boride. core):.-:
7 Thickness of Antidif- I i the B 0 coating R fusion (microns) (t/cmfi) (t/em effect r.
*This thickness of the boron carbide coating is defined as the ditference between the diameter of the boron carbidecoated boron filament and the diameter of the bare, initial boron filament.
The ratio R/R is approximately equal to 1 when the thickness of the B coating is from 3 to 8 microns; it is slightly less than 1 for other thickness values of less than or equal to microns. The tensile strength of the coated filaments according to the invention is greater than that of the initial uncoated filaments when the thickness of the B C coating is from 3 to 8 microns, and is comparable to that of the initial uncoated filaments for other thickness values of less than or equal to 15 microns. Thus, with a boron filament initially 98 microns in diameter and having a 15 micron diameter tungsten boride core, the following results for the tensile strength were obtained:
1 Initial boron filament.
The tensile strength of the coated filaments drops considerably, however, when the B 6 coating is greater than 15 microns. It is surprising that the boron carbide deposit on the filament does not substantially reduce the tensile strength of the initial boron filament in the above-mentioned thickness range, and that in some cases it even improves the tensile strength.
-In the method of the invention any excess of hydrocarbon in the gaseous mixture may be as much as or more (compared to the stoichiometric amount), and, if desired, any excess of hydrogen may be as much as 100% compared to the stoichiometric amount. Preferably, the boron filament is heated to the required temperature by passing an electric current through the filament and causing resistance heating. The filament is typically passed through a chamber which is continuously supplied with the gaseous mixture, the reaction taking place in this chamber.
The apparatus of the invention is preferably located downstream of the reaction chamber of a boron filament production machine wherein a tungsten wire is heated in the presence of a mixture of boron halide and hydrogen as described in French Patent Application No. 6,901,287 to form a boron coating on the tungsten wire.
In one embodiment of the apparatus of the invention, the reaction cell comprises, in addition to gas inlet and outlet conduits, disposed at, or adjacent, the plugs, an inlet conduit for hydrocarbon disposed intermediate the ends of the cell. This apparatus is particularly suited to depositing boron on a tungsten wire in the same chamber as the deposition of the boron carbide: a mixture of boron halide and hydrogen is introduced to the cell via the gas inlet conduit at the upstream end of the cell (to produce a zone for deposition of boron on to, for example, a tungsten wire entering the cell) and the hydrocarbon (e.g. methane) is introduced through the additional conduit (to complete the gas mixture so as to provide a zone for deposition of boron carbide downstream of the boron deposition zone).
The production of a boron carbide-coated filament according to the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-section through an apparatus according to the invention for the deposition of a boron carbide antiditfusion' coating on to a boron filament;
FIG. 2 is a modification of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 and provides for the deposition of boron and then boron carbide in one reaction chamber; and
FIG. 3 is a diagram of an installation for the continuous production of boron filaments and then the coating thereof with boron carbide.
The apparatus shown in FIG. 1 comprises a cell consisting of a Pyrex cylindrical glass tube 1 closed at the ends by Teflon plugs 2 having flanges 2a over which the ends of the tube are force-fitted with the interposition of ring gaskets 3. Each plug is formed with a longitudinal passage 4 for the boron filament being coated and is pro- 7 vided with glass half-capillaries 5, the free ends of which are narrowed to leave an aperture corresponding roughly to the diameter of the filament passing therethrough.
A radial conduit 6 is provided at the lower part of each plug, communicates with the passage 4, and is intended for the supply of mercury 7 to the passage 4 from a reservoir (not shown). The mercury supply is connected to an electrical current source and acts both as a gasket. for the cell and as an electrical contact for the filament tional tensioning device which forms part of the boron filament production machine.
Typical operating conditions were as follows: using a cell 30 cm. in length, the boron filament 10 was heated by the Joule elfect (electrical resistance heating) to a.
temperature of 900-1300 C. and was driven at a speed of from 60 to 400 metres per hour using a mechanical tension of 10-100 g. A mixture of boron trichloride,
methane and hydrogen in stoichiometric proportions in accordance with the following reaction equation was introduced into the cell via the conduit 8:
4 BCl +CH +4H B C+ l2HCl Boron filaments with a boron carbide antidiffusion coating were produced, the mechanical characteristics of which were substantially the same as those of the initial boron filament. The results of these examples are given in the Table I hereinafter. In these examples, the rate of flow of hydrogen was the same as that of BCl while the rate of flow of methane was 25 of that of BCl From Table I it may be seen that the optimum conditions are obtained with contact times ranging from 4 to 6 seconds, in which case the temperature can range from 1150 to 1200 C. approximately (with the gas quantities indicated) depending upon the required deposition thickness. In the case of coatings thicker than 8 microns, the breaking load starts to fall, the tensile strength (load with respect to section) being highest in the case of 3-8 micron thick coatings.
When an excess of hydrogen is used with respect to the stoichiometric quantity (for example when doubled), comparable results are obtained. However, when an excess of methane is used with respect to the stoichiometric quantity, the breaking load of the filament is increased as is also its tensile strength and this appears to be the result of the particular structure of the deposit.
The results of further examples are shown in Table II hereinafter. In these examples, the rate of flow of hydrogen was the same as that of BCl while the rate of How of methane was 35% of that of BCl The mean value of the tensile strength of the resulting boron carbide-coated boron filaments was from 35 t./cm. to 40 t./cm.
In the modification of the apparatus shown in FIG. 2, the tube 1 of the coating cell is additionally provided with a conduit 12 for the admission of methane (or other hydrocarbon such as ethane, benzene, or toluene), this conduit 12 is situated at a suitable distance from the rear end of the cell, for example cm. therefrom. The mixture of boron trichloride (or other boron halide, such as boron tribromide) and hydrogen is admitted to the cell via con duit 9 and the gases are discharged via conduit 8 after reaction in the cell.
The portion of the cell situated upstream of conduit 12 forms a boron deposition Zone while the portion downstream of conduit 12 acts as a boron carbide deposition zone.
FIG. 3 shows a complete schematic installation for the production of boron filaments coated with a boron carbide antidiffusion coating from a tungsten wire. This installation comprises the following, in a manner known per se:
Rate of flow of gas in cell C:
methane (preheated to 250 The resulting coated filament had a total diameter of 105 microns, a 5 micron thick boron carbide deposit, and a tensile strength of t./cm.

Come up with an initial budget. Depending upon what type of bridal gowns and accessories you want to sell, you may have to spend more or less money. Account for your building rent, cost of business permits, inventory, staff wages and insurance. You will need at least $25,000 to start a bridal shop, a bit less if you want to open a used, consignment or vintage bridal shop.
How to Start Up a Bridal Shop Business
One thing is certain: Weddings will always take place, no matter what time of year, which makes opening a bridal shop a lucrative business idea. To ensure your shop is successful, you must carefully plan your new venture.
Things You'll Need
- Budget of about $25,000
- Retail location
- Tax ID number and resale certificate
- Inventory
- Marketing plan
Choose a niche to help target your marketing efforts. There are many types of bridal shops you can start, including ones just for plus-size brides, one that features bridal, bridesmaid, flower girl, and mother-of-the-bride gowns, a vintage bridal shop, one that features eco-friendly designers, a used or consignment bridal shop or one that only features designer brands.
Lease a prime retail location. Your shop should be easily accessible, and if possible, near complimentary businesses, such as alterations shops, cleaners, florist studios, party supply stores, or event planners. Make sure your shop has enough space to not only display merchandise but for fitting rooms.
Obtain a tax ID number and resale certificate. Without these, you can't establish wholesale accounts with bridal suppliers, and you can't stock your store with merchandise. Although consignment, used, and vintage bridal stores don't have to worry so much about this, they still need these documents to collect taxes on the items they sell.
Develop a marketing plan. You can sign up to have a booth at popular bridal shows, take out ads in bridal magazines and on popular wedding blogs and websites, and even use social media such as blogs and twitter to reach new potential customers.
Select add-on bridal services to offer customers. The more you have to offer customers, the more likely they are to not only buy from you but to recommend you to other brides. While you shouldn't take on more than you can handle initially, consider eventually adding services such as alterations, accessories such as veils and tiaras, a selection of shoes and lingerie and decoration rentals.

Couple of Things
By stressandstars on March 18, 2011
1. So March in South Carolina is officially kind of amazing. It's 83 degrees out today, there's a good breeze. I've already taken a walk around the apartment complex in the sun. It's actually conceivable I may get a tan this year... or at least become a color that is not similar to fresh paper.
This is great for me, but terrible for everyone I know who has allergies. All I can do is make sympathetic faces, really. I'm not saying I won't develop allergies later, but for the moment, I can roll around in hay and flower petals all I want. I'm taking advantage of that.
Uhm. Not by actually rolling around in hay or flower petals, though.
2. My mother-in-law's surgery was yesterday. Jason's aunt Gena was there, as well as his dad, and they kept Jason and I up to date on everything that was going on. Everything seems to have gone fairly well, Robin is in a hospital room recovering, so cross your fingers for the quickest recovery possible for us, okay?
One of my friends just got his wisdom teeth out; he's a little older than I am. He seems to be sleeping away the days just like anyone recovering from this kind of thing should. I have some pretty terrible memories of the actual act of getting my own wisdom teeth out, so I am no help in matters like these. All I can say is, "Well... milkshakes are awesome, and you can have all you want!"
And then everyone stares at me.
And I go back to my coffee.

Greenworld Fuels
Greenworld Fuels (GWF) offers turnkey solutions for treating Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) centered on a robust and innovative technology, which converts the biomass fraction into fuel grade Ethanol.
Greenworld Fuels, an established company, has researched and developed an innovative approach, which is highly cost-effective, providing a unique solution to the acute environmental problems involved. This reduces the need for landfill and in turn produces a highly saleable energy source primarily as a gasoline substitute.
The GWF solution uses the PSHS (an innovative steam and thermal treatment) carried out in an unpressurised system.
GWF has within its group a Research, Development and Manufacturing base in Latvia, and a renowned and substantial steel fabrication company with 50 years experience.
The company has built an industrial scale PDU (process demonstration unit) at the site of our manufacturing facility in Riga.
The Company is presently developing its first project in Russia and has further projects in the pipeline.
