Tree Festival instills holiday spirit in helpers
|To tie in with the theme of their tree this year, members of the Society of Women Engineers crafted ornaments out of scrapbook paper in geometric shapes

|The Society of Women Engineers at The University of Akron has donated decorated trees, such as this Dr. Seuss-themed tree, to the Holiday Tree Festival since at least 2001.
|Last year's Society of Women Engineers tree was such a hit that the group received photos from the family that purchased it at the Holiday Tree Festival, a fundraiser for Akron Children's Hospital.

The annual fundraiser for Akron Children's Hospital will take place Nov. 23 through Dec. 1 at the John S. Knight Center. Admission to see the more than 100 decorated trees, as well as wreaths and Christmas miniatures, is free.
"It's a fantastic way to get into the holiday spirit," said Mary Verstraete, of Copley, a UA engineering professor who advises the UA chapter.
The group, made up of both male and female engineering students, has donated a decorated tree every year since at least 2001, she added. Many of the trees have had an engineering theme, like last year's "The Little Engineer who Could."
This year, the trend will continue as the members are preparing their tree with the title "Geome-tree" and making handcrafted ornaments in geometric shapes.
"It gets you in the Christmas spirit, and it's an easy way to get the girls involved in a good cause," said society president Katy Dzurisin, a UA senior from Parma.
Verstraete said she usually takes a group of members with her to set up the tree and to visit the festival once it's up and running. For many of the students, who are not from Akron, the festival is unfamiliar.
"A lot of them have never been, so we play it up and make it a social event," Verstraete said.
She added the experience has been rewarding. Last year, she was happy to receive photos from the family that purchased the group's tree with their young son in front of it. That was the first time the group had heard from the buyers of their tree.
Festival Chairperson Mary Leuca, of Fairlawn, said organizers believe about 100,000 people visit the festival at some point during the season. The event raises money through the sale of trees and décor, as well as a raffle.
"Every single cent of it goes to Akron Children's Hospital," Leuca said. "It's a fundraiser by the volunteers of Akron Children's Hospital and the community — the corporations, the businesses, the churches and Girl Scout groups all come together to do this. Besides being a fundraiser, it's the volunteers' payback to the community to thank them for all they've done."
Leuca said hundreds of volunteers help with the event. For more details on volunteering, contact volunteer chairs Patty Hetrick at email@example.com or Liz Lenke at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The event will kick off this year with the Preview Gala Nov. 22 at 5:30 p.m. Attendees will have the first chance to purchase trees and other displayed items. For tickets, corporate tables or sponsorship opportunities, call the Akron Children's Hospital Foundation at 330-543-8340.
The festival officially opens to the public Nov. 23 at 10 a.m. with a ribbon-cutting and other activities, including face painting, visits from the hospital's Doggie Brigade and holiday entertainment.
In addition, the festival will feature a Breakfast with Santa event Nov. 23 and 30 at 8:30 a.m. Registration is required by calling 330-543-8340.
The festival will be open Monday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Thanksgiving Day from 2 to 6 p.m.
The John S. Knight Center is located at 77 E. Mill St. For more information about the Holiday Tree Festival, go to akronchildrens.org/treefestival.

This was cool, shows abit of nudity, maybe a warning label for kids would be good, i know the rated R tells that but could be more descriptive, anyways nice looking characters with a hint of realistic, the flash itself is very short, but has lots of promise, funny stuff though, also it seems to loop abit a stop action code would be nice, anyways nice work...
The start was alright but the end sucked
The start to this movie where he shoots the guy fucking his girlfriend and then shoots his girlfriend was alright but the final scene in the bar just sucked, the pieces of paper over his girlfriends tits was kinda funny, ddin't make that much sense though, how the fuck did they know he was in the bar right after the scene was processed, but story didn't matter back in the old days of newgrounds.
u fucking piece of shit!
stamper... u did it again.... u made me laugh like a sheep getting raped by a drunk & horny german that lives in the street using shit ass dildoes!!!!
will stamper is cool.
jimii6 gave u an *8

I love the opening, I LOVE the music. Excellent choice, might I add. The ending was funny. I like it when the police car hits the trash can, it's looks like my driving! ^_^

Reviews for 40-Minute Hamburger Buns
Sort By :
"Soooo delicious my family love it! great with or without egg!"
"So quick and easy to make! The rolls turned out delicious in under an hour!"
"Exactly what I was looking for! Keeper!!I can't cook/bake with egg, due to egg allergy, and yet another recipe turned out great with simply omitting the egg!Thank you for sharing your recipe!"
"Making bread, bagels and the like on a regular basis, I find this recipe is ideal for producing on a larger scale. Between a stand mixer and only two baking sheets and a regular-sizes oven, I find myself able to crank out about 3 dozen buns an hour if I use the baking time to mix the next batch.In term of finished product, I find the egg introduces a nice richness to these buns and I intend to experiment using a 1/2 cornmeal and 1/2 flour in the future."
"This is a great recipe, I am a pastry chef and bake bread weekly frequently. The change you need to make is rise for 45 min to an hour. Melt butter not thin just until melted and brush on top, need a delicate brush for this and sprinkle kosher salt after, bake 8 min. Let cool then slice gently bread knife. The density is due I see in the reviews is probably from the temp of water not being exact (110) for yeast to grow, the egg being cold slowing yeast, and the ten minute rising.After slicing spread mayo and toast in a hot pan on the inside sides yum!Tastes delicious!"

**I made this cake in honour of Chef-I-am for her bake-a-thon.** This is the cake that is made for all special events at our house. It's really important to follow the directions to the T - time consuming but worth it. This cake only gets better after a day or two in the fridge. My grandmother found this recipe in a Southern Living as the winner of a bake-off in 1978... since then, it's made history! My grandmother always adds white chocolate to the filling. This keeps the whipped cream from tamping down and spilling out the sides of the cake. Try this recipe for the filling: FILLING 2 cups whipping cream 2 ounces chopped white baking chocolate 1 teaspoon vanilla 6 tablespoons confectioners' sugar Melt the white chocolate in 1/2 cup of the whipping cream. Chill for one hour. Whip with remaining cream, vanilla and sugar until spreadable.
This would have been perfect if I had three separate baking dishes to use. Since I didn't I put it all in one pan and it took forever! About 2 hours to bake and when I took it out of the pan to cool it fell in 3 pieces. So overall it tasted really good but it was a huge failure for me ;(
This is seriously the best chocolate cake Ever! I first found the recipe in a Southern Living cookbook and I've made it several times since.I made it for my moms birthday one year and everyone went wild over it.Several people wanted the recipe.This cake is just so moist and rich..the chocolate frosting is heavenly! It is time consuming but it's so worth it! I follow the recipe exactly..it's perfect as written.This is the cake to make if you want to impress people.It's so delicious!
This is delish! After a day in the fridge, it tasted like a moist whoppie pie in a decadent frosting. Next time I when I make the frosting, I'll let it cool then whip in my stand mixer rather than hand mixing, and make the filling last. Maybe some cream cheese to the filling. But this one is a keeper!!!
This cake is so fantastic. Rich, rich chocolate taste, especially if you use good-quality cocoa. Stays moist. I love it with a peanut butter frosting!
This is the birthday cake that all 5 of us kids would request on our special day. My copy of the recipe was cut from a McCall's magazine (1982) which is now very tattered. My girlfriend just asked me for the recipe to do her son's birthday cake so I thought I would check to see if posted here. I am thrilled to see this recipe on Zaar. My mother's notes on this recipe are that she reduced the butter in the frosting to 1/2 C as we thought it was too rich with the full amount. I always follow Mom's way and it is still great. This cake is the bomb! Great post Marie!
DH made this cake on a whim one night because he was having a sweets craving. He dabbles in the kitchen somewhat and he found this recipe to be quite okay in terms of ease. He said that considering the outcome it was worth every step; I agree, this cake is simply sinful, it has won a place in our family as our new "birthday cake". He susbstituted Splenda in the cake portion of the recipe and halved the fat by using apple sauce and butter. It was incredibly light and fluffy and I could not tell the difference.
Someone made this exact recipe for Christmas dinner, except they split the layers and alternated with the frosting and plain whipped cream. It was soooo decadent! My son said he was "addicted to this cake!" Really a fantastic recipe.
This is the best chocolate cake I've ever had. I found the recipe ages ago in McCall's Cookbook and it's on my website. It takes a little time to make, and it's huge, but the most incredible chocolate cake i've ever had.
I used a kitchenaid to make the frosting, then made the whipped cream without washing the mixer, made the whipped cream a bit chocolatey. Very rich and delicious!

Ten Commandments monument is installed at Oklahoma state Capitol
The monument cost about $10,000, and costs to pay for the materials of the base and other work was about another $10,000, Ritze said.
Other markers upheld
Wording on the monument is similar to markers in Texas and Utah that have withstood the scrutiny of the U.S. Supreme Court, Ritze said.
Those markers stood on the Capitol grounds in Austin, Texas, and in a city park in Pleasant Grove, Utah, for decades before being challenged.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles, a benevolent organization, donated both markers.
Ritze, elected last year to the Legislature, said Cecil B. DeMille, director of the 1956 film epic "The Ten Commandments," gave money to the Fraternal Order of Eagles to fund monuments across the country depicting the commandments. Some of the film's main stars, such as Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner, went to unveilings.
"Apparently they donated it, and it was never delivered or it was in storage some place," he said.
After Ritze got elected in 2008, he contacted the Oklahoma Capitol Preservation Commission about the monument. He said its whereabouts never could be determined, so he had one made.
Different views
Ritze said the Liberty Legal Institute, which was involved in the defense of the Texas monument, would be available to help the state attorney general's office defend any legal challenge.
Ritze said the monument re-emphasizes the history and heritage of America's legal system. American laws came from English law, which is rooted in Mosaic Law; the history of some of America's law can be traced to the Ten Commandments, he said.
"It is a historical presentation of where we get our laws," Ritze said.
Kiesel disagreed. "It's disingenuous for supporters of placing this monument out there to say that this is purely a historical nature," he said. "For them to discount the religious and spiritual underpinnings of the Ten Commandments would be offensive to the many Oklahomans that include the Ten Commandments in their faith."

The Farm, by Tom Rob Smith review
Tom Rob Smith sideswipes you with casually delivered "facts", false leads and revelations in his new thriller, The Farm, bringing the mystery of a summer in rural Sweden to life with startlingly vivid delivery. It feels a little disjointed when you first start to read the story, with seemingly laboured dialogue and unbelievable actions making […]
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Buried Giant review
Kazuo Ishiguro's new novel, The Buried Giant, is a mind blowing allegory set in the early part of the dark ages, and as it blurs the lines between fantasy and the vague historical facts we know about that period it manages to put clarity to a number of truths that permeate humanity throughout time immemorial.

Michaelbrent Collings, Twisted review
Twisted is the latest spine shivering novel from indie horror writer, Michaelbrent Collings, and it's one hell of a contorted beast of a read, with the kind of story and delivery you might have come to expect from Stephen King. It kick in fast with chills and frights early on in the story, yet all […]
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch review
If you've looked at the prospect of reading Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch previously and been a little fazed by the fairly significant reading mass of 784 pages, we can safely say that you've been missing out. While it's definitely weighty, thoughtful and challenging throughout, there's never a dull moment and you'll become completely entranced almost as […]
Joseph Kanon, Leaving Berlin review

Stephen King, Revival review
Stephen King stormed back into the hardback book charts with the release of his latest dark novel, Revival, in late 2014 and while it's far from a classic it does enough to unsettle in typical King style. It's well written and richly described, but it struggles to surprise, which is unlike the man who brought […]
The Girl On The Train, by Paula Hawkins review
If we had to boil our review of Paula Hawkins' debut novel, The Girl On The Train to a short and to the point directive to readers, it would just be something along the lines of, "just read it for yourself", because it's a brilliantly tense suspense thriller that you're better off knowing as little […]
The Miniaturist review – Jessie Burton falls short of debut novel class
With a lot of media attention and both the Specsaver and Waterstones Book Of The Year awards under its belt, we were hoping for a masterpiece of modern day historical fiction in Jessie Burton's debut novel, The Miniaturist, but it misses the mark a little in its attempt to cover too many big subject areas.

Richard Flanagan, The Narrow Road To The Deep North review
At an award ceremony London's Guildhall in October last year, Richard Flanagan was named as the 2014 Booker Prize winner for his stunning historical drama, The Narrow Road To The Deep North and having read the book recently, we can only agree with the judging panel's decision. It's a wonderfully crafted drama that blurs the massive […]
J by Howard Jacobson review
Howard Jacobson's J is about as difficult to like as it is to finish, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't worthy of a read. It doesn't try to be liked; it isn't going to go out of its way to get you to finish it, but for anyone that pushes through, with slightly […]
Meena Kandasamy The Gypsy Goddess review
It's not often for us to read a new novel and not wish we could change one element or another, but in Meena Kandasamy's The Gypsy Goddess we think we may have met our match, as there isn't a single thing that we'd change. That inevitably means that our review of the poet's debut novel […]
Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall review
Though we're a little late to the party in our review of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, we can't help but add our take on the scintillating novel that has already won The Booker Prize, The Walter Scott Prize for Literature and The National Book Critics Circle Award. There's probably a lot of avid readers that […]
Laurent Binet HHhH review
By Martin Leese The first and most important thing to mention about HHhH is that despite it's location in the fiction department of your local book retailer, website or library it is, for the most part, a work of astounding, obsessive non-fiction. The attention to detail and historical accuracy in the tale of second world […]
Terry Pratchett, Snuff review
Terry Pratchett's Snuff is the latest novel in the brilliant City Watch series featuring the impassible Commander Samuel Vimes as he's sort of forced on holiday with his wife Lady Sybil Ramkin and their young son Sam. It's also the 39th Discworld Novel written by Pratchett, showing the prolific impact he's had on the fantasy […]
Swimming Home, Deborah Levy review
As the name suggests, Swimming Home by British writer Deborah Levy is a submerged plunge into the refracting light and pockets of darkness of home life abroad. Nominated for the 2012 Booker Prize, it's a literary tour de force with poetic prose and a fascinating plot set in the sunshine of the French Riviera. The […]
James Patterson & Mark Sullivan, Private Games review

The Vanishing Act by Mette Jakobson review
Mette Jakobson's The Vanishing Act is well written, interesting and very different from a lot of other novels that look at love, relationships, family and loss. However, it just falls short of pulling off the alternative masterpiece it felt like it could have been in the first few pages. Told from the perspective of a […]

Video: Officer pulls man from burning car
An officer and a good Samaritan pull an unconscious man from a vehicle after two cars caught fire in a wreck
By PoliceOne Staff
MANCHESTER, Mo. — Dash cam shows a Manchester officer pull a man from a burning vehicle after a car crash.
Officer Gerad Gonzalez was on patrol when a passerby alerted him to an accident that resulted in two vehicles catching fire. As he approached, he saw a man sitting in one of the cars.
"I just knew I needed to get him out and check for other occupants," Gonzalez told Kirkwood Patch.
In the video, Gonzalez runs toward the car, climbs into the passenger seat and with the help of a good Samaritan, retrieves the unconscious driver and moves him away from the fiery wreckage.
The female driver of the other vehicle escaped just before it exploded, according to the article. Out of the camera's view, she is heard saying "I almost burned alive in there."
Ambulance crews transported both drivers to the hospital, and Gonzalez said he was glad it didn't end worse. He gave a special thanks to the man who helped him.
"That stays in my heart," Gonzalez told the website. "He did not have to stop."

SINTERED METAL FILTER AND METHOD OF MAKING 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Jan. 17, 1961 Filed Jan. 21, 1959 JFZz/erz'Zc nr dward w V s/res SINTERED METAL FILTER AND METHOD OF MAKING This invention relates to a method of fabricating sintered metal products, and more especially to a method of making sintered metal filters and to such filter product.
This application is a continuation-in-part of my copending application, Serial No. 625,135, now Patent No. 2,877,903, filed November 29, 1956, and entitled Filter Unit.
Sintered metal products are comprised of a vast number of metal particles or pellets that are secured to each other at their points of contact. The particles are relatively small, but may be purchased in sizes that range upward from several microns. The particles ordinarily have smoothly curved surfaces and are somewhat spherical, and in this sense may be contrasted with particles which have roughened or irregular surface characteristics. A common composition for sintered metal particles is a copper or bronze center enclosed or sheathed in tin.
In forming a product of such material, the particles are placed in a die to determine a configuration therefor, and are then heated to a temperature sufiicient to soften the tin coating and thereby effect a bond between the particles at the points of contact thereof. It has been found that it is extremely difiicult to shape a product so formed by bending because the bond between the particles is relatively weak and readily fractured, as of course is the case with any solder joint. This difliculty is particularly applicable to sintered metal filters because the sintered filter must be quite porous to permit the flow of fluid therethrough; and thus, in the bonding step, substantially no pressure or compressive force can be applied to the particles so that the bonds therebetween are even more fracturable.
As a consequence of this, the traditional process employed in fabricating sintered metal products is to provide expensive molds, fill the molds with the particles, and advance the filled molds through a sintering oven which elevates the temperature of the particles to effect the bond therebetween. After cooling, the product thus formed can be removed from the mold, whereupon the process is repeated using the same mold. It is readily apparent thatthe fabrication of products in this manner is costly for a number of reasons.
First, because the molds are expensive, and their cost must be justified in the price charged for the fabricated product, and these costs are further increased through the necessity of frequent mold replacement due to the deterioration thereof from repeated beatings in the furnace. Furthermore, the molds are often quite large and bulky, depending upon the size and shape of the product being made, and thus occupy a substantial furnace volume thereby imposing serious limits on the number of products which can be heated at any given time. In this, sense then, the full furnace capacity is not productively utilized. Moreover, the capacity of the sintering furnace is related to the weight or massto be heated thereby or, stated another way, it takes a far shorter time to elevate the temperature of one pound of material than of ten pounds of the same material. Since molds are atent U 2,968,405 Patented Jan. 17,1961
fairly bulky, and since the temperature thereof must be elevated in order to heat the contents therein, the time of the heating cycle is disproportionately increased especially, as is most frequently the case, where the molds are formed of carbon or other material having a low thermal conductivity. Again, it may be said that these fabrication problems are accentuated in making filters for they are often large bulky products.
With a view toward overcoming these problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an improved sintered metal product and method of fabricating the same.- Another object of the invention is in the provision of a low cost sintered metal product exemplified by a filter unit, and an economical method of making the same. Still another object is that of providing a method of making sintered metal filters and like products, that utilizes the full capacity of the sintering furnace and which enables the product to be shaped subsequent to the formation of the particles into an integral unit.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a method of making sintered metal filters, wherein the use of dies can be obviated or simple inexpensive dies employed, by bonding the particles or pellets to form generally flat pieces, thus permitting utilization of the full furnace capacity in that excessive furnace space is not occupied by irregular shapes, and actually increasing the furnace capacity in that the units may be stacked one upon another.
Yet a further object of the invention is that of provid'ng a filter unit of tubular or cylindrical configuration, which is bent into the desired shape after the formation of a flat sintered metal unit, and which has improved and uniform filtering characteristics throughout the surface area thereof because the weight of a heavy die exerting compressive forces on the particles during the bonding thereof is not necessitated. Additional objects and advantages will become apparent as the specification develops.
Embodiments of the invention, both as to structure and method, are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view largely diagrammatic in character of a sintering oven or furnace, and showing a step in the fabricating process; Figure 2 is an enlarged, longitudinal sectional view of a group of stacked sintered metal units arranged for passage through the furnace; Figure 3 is an enlarged, top plan view of a sintered metal unit formed in accordance with the invention; Figure 4 is a greatly enlarged, vertical sectional view taken along the line 4-4 of Figure 3; Figure 5 is a perspective view of a filter product formed in accordance with the invention; Figure 6 is a top plan view of the unit shown in Figure 3 after the same has been curved into a round cylinder to define the configuration shown in Figure 5; Figure 7 is a top plan view similar to that of Figure 6, but showing a varied cylindrical configuration-more particularly, prismatic; Figure 8 is a top plan view similar to that of Figures 6 and 7, but showing a segmented filter unit; Figure 9 is an enlarged, broken sectional view illustrating the character of the joints of Figures 6 through 8, which maintain the filter units in the configuration shown; Figure 10 is a top plan view of a fiat disc stamped from the filter unit shown in Figure 3; and Figure 11 is an enlarged, longitudinal section l view similar to that of Figure 2, but showing a modified stacked arrangement of the units for passage through the sintering furnace.
An oven or furnace which may be used in forming the sintered metal units is illustrated diagrammatically in Figure l, and is seen to comprise an oven 15 having an entrance opening 16 and an exit opening 17. The furnace is equipped with a plurality of heaters which may 3 be gas jets 18, and ordinarily will be divided into three sectionsa pre-heat section indicated generally with the numeral 19, the main heating section 20, and a cooling section 21. An endless conveyor 22 formed of metal links has one leg thereof passing through the furnace and is entrained about pulleys 23 and 24. The latter of which may be driven as through a belt 25 operatively connected with a motor (not shown). The conveyor 22 is preferably supported at least along the upper leg thereof which carries a plurality of stacks 26, and this may be accomplished by any suitable means as through the use of support rollers 27 rotatably mounted within the furnace and platforms 28 and 29 equipped, respectively, with legs 30 and 31. The furnace may be carried by legs 32.
With respect to the instant invention, the furnace 15, conveyor 22 and associated components may be wholly conventional, and the function thereof is to advance the stacks 26 from left to right (as viewed in Figure 1) through the furnace at a velocity such that the stacks will be heated to a predetermined temperature to cause a bonding between the adjacent sintered metal particles which comprise a part of each stack. Usually, the conveyor 22 travels very slowly, and its movement is barely noticeable. However, the conveyor velocity must be related to the temperature of the furnace and to the time that each stack must remain to assure the requisite temperature rise thereof. By way of example, it has been found that in the fabrication of filter units and where sintered metal comprising solder-coated copper particles are employed, a temperature of about 1,600 F. should be attained to effectuate a satisfactory bonding of the particles.
A stack 26 is illustrated in detail in Figure 2, and is seen to comprise a flat support 33 that may be formed of carbon or graphite (which is preferred because they are relatively inexpensive) or other material which is capable of withstanding the temperatures of the heating furnace. Positioned on top of the support block 33 is a carrier 34 such as wire screen having the edges thereof turned upwardly, as shown at 35 and 36. Positioned within the pan-shaped screen or carrier 34 are metal rods 37 and 38 which extend, respectively, along the sides 35 and 36. In some instances, it may be desirable to employ rods along the other edges of the screen carrier, but ordinarily a pair of rods is sufficient, and these rods are used in a subsequent fabrication step wherein the sintered metal unit is formed into a useful configuration. The pan-shaped screen is filled with sintered metal particles, as shown at 39.
The illustration of Figure 2 is somewhat enlarged, for the rods 37 and 38 have a small diameter and the screen 34 is barely turned up at the edges thereof. The function of the upturned edges is to define a pan for confining the sintered metal particles 39 therewithin. If it is permissible to have the particles slope slightly at the edges of the screen, such edges need not be turned up; and this is similarly true if other means are employed to confine the particles. Ordinarily, the thickness of the mass of particles 39 will be about two to three layers, as shown in Figure 4, but of course can be more or less than this as desired. 7
In order to utilize the full capacity of the furnace 15, it is advantageous to stack a plurality of the sintered metal units, which for identification are denoted in general with the numeral 40, one upon another; and in this event, separator sheets 41 are interposed between the successive units. The strips 41 should be formed of a material such as stainless steel, which will not bend to the particles 39 or to a wire screen carrier thereabove. In Figure 2, four sintered metal units are illustrated, and for the purpose of dilferentiation they are separately indicated with the numerals 40, 40a, 40b and 40c. Since the components thereof are identical with those described 4 in connection with the unit 40, no further description thereof will be set forth.
After the stacks 26 have been completely passed through the furnace 15, the individual units may be separated therefrom and are seen to comprise an integrated sheet, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, wherein the particles are bonded to each other, to the screen carrier 34 and to the wires 37 and 38. In order to distinguish the integrated or completed unit from the units 40 illustrated in Figure 2, the numeral 42 is used to denote the same. Similarly, the coating as shown in Figures 3 and 4, is indicated with the numeral 43 to distinguish it from the mass 3? of particles, and the individually bonded particles are separately identified with the numeral 44.
For convenience, the individual sintered metal particles 44 are shown as spheres, but their actual configuration may vary substantially therefrom. On the other hand, the surfaces of the particles are curved and are relatively smooth. Thus, the particles engage each other at points of contact, and it is at such points that the bonds 45 occur therebetween. The layer of particles 44 contiguous with the screen 34 is bonded thereto at the points of contact between the particles and screen, as shown by the numeral 46. Since this type of bonding occurs, it is apparent that a loose or porous lattice is afforded which permits the passage of fluid therethrough, but is of course effective to filter or constrain particulate matter carried by the fluid. The filtering action will be greater if the particles 44 are smaller. In many instances, it is convenient to employ particles having a diameter or at least one dimension which exceeds the size of the openings provided through the screen 34, but this is not essential.
After the fiat or planar units 42 have been fabricated, they may be shaped into desired configurations to form filter units. One such configuration is the circular tube or cylinder 47 shown in Figure 6, or the prismatic cylinder 48 shown in Figure 7. It will be apparent that other shapes may be formed, and the circular and prismatic cylinders are simply exemplary thereof. In certain instances, it may be necessary to form an exceptionally large filter, and it may be more convenient to make the same by gently curving a plurality of units 42 and securing the same together to define a composite cylinder 49. Whatever be the shape desired, any corners thereon should be rounded so that the elastic limit of the bonds between the sintered metal particles is not exceeded,
Thus, in the prismatic form shown in Figure 7, the corners thereof are slightly rounded.
The shape of the filter units is maintained by securing the rods 37 and 38 together, as shown more particularly in Figure 9. This is accomplished by welding, soldering or brazing the rods together as at 50 throughout the length thereof so as to form a completely closed cylinder, whereby all of the fluid entering the interior thereof must flow through the sintered metal coating 43. Whatever process is used to secure the rods together, the temperatures attained should be less than the melting or brazing temperature of the sintered metal particles.
It has been found that in joining the rods 37 and 38, the solder or other material employed in effectuating the union is carried away by the capillary action of the screen 34 and sintered metal coating 43 about as rapidly as it is formed. Consequently, prior to the joining of these members, it is advantageous to remove a portion of the screen and sintered metal along the undersides of the rods as shown at 51 and 52 in Figure 9. The material may be removed in a grinding operation wherein the screen and sintered metal, and perhaps a portion of the rods themselves, are tapered inwardly so that a V is defined when they are brought together.
After the sintered metal units 42 have been shaped as shown in Figures 6 and 7, or have been assembled into a filter unit as shown in Figure 8, they have metal end caps 53 and 54 aflixed thereto (see Figure 5)the latter of which may be equipped with a fitting or nipple 55 to en-.
able the same to be connected in a fluid flow line. Usually, the caps 53 and 54 will be solid metal members, and as a consequence, the fluid flow into the interior of the filter will be through the'filter unit 47 only. The end caps may be attached by any suitable means, such as by equipping the same with skirts or flanges which nestingly receive the ends of the filter unit 47 therein, and that are held in place by the elongated bolt 53a extending through the cap 53 which threadedly engages the straps 54a sccured to the cap 54. An exemplary use for the filter unit shown in Figure 5 is disclosed in my copending application, Serial No. 625,135, referred to hereinbefore.
In the event that fiat filter units are needed for direct insertion into a fluid flow line, forexample, they may be stamped from the sintered metal unit 42 shown in Figure 3, and may have a fiat, circular shape as shown by the disc 56 of Figure 10.
A modified stack arrangement for passage through the furnace is shown in Figure 11, and is denoted generally with the numeral 57. This stack comprises a flat graphite plate or block 58 similar to the block 33 heretofore described, and a die or mold 59. The upper surface of the die 59 is fiat so that it may serve the function of the support block 58 for units stacked thereabove, but the underside thereof is configured so as to nestingly receive the rods 60 and 61 therein, and the intermediate portion between the rods is removed so that a mass 62 of sintered metal particles can be inserted thereinto. A screen carrier 63 extends along the face of the support block 58, and is similar to the screen 34 except that the edges thereof are not turned upwardly.
The dies 59 then function as composite dies and separators, and the mass of particles may be inserted into the.
dies after they are stacked as shown in Figure 11, through an open end thereof. For differentiation, the plurality of stacked units shown in Figure 11 is designated with the numerals 64, 64a and 64b.
The method disclosed is advantageously employed for it permits full utilization of the furnace capacity in fabricating sintered metal products. I-Ieretofore, if a filter was to be fabricated having the shape of the one shown in Figure 5, it was necessary to provide a die or mold in that configuration which, of course occupied a substantial area on the conveyor 22 and likewise in the furnace, whereby a serious restriction was imposed on the capacity thereof. Furthermore, the size of the products which could be moved through the furnace was limited by the size of the openings 16 and 17 theroef, which are made small in order to prevent excessive escape of heat from the interior of the furnace. The present invention permits sintered metal units to be passed through the furnace as flat units whereupon they are capable of being stacked one upon another, with the result that the full furnace capacity is utilized and there is no serious limitation as to product size.
In the past, sintered metal units have been much too brittle to bend or otherwise shape, so such units were necessarily shaped beforehand by the dies that contained the same. Quite surprisingly, I have found that where a carrier 34 or 63 is used in conjunction with a coating of sintered metal, fiat units acquire the property of being bendable into various shapes without the fracture of the bond between the metal particles. Thus, the inclusion of the carrier appears to lend a new property to the sintered metal bodyone that enables the same to be shaped after its formation. Further, when filters are made in accordance with the invention, the filtering efliciency thereof is improved; and one reason therefor appears to be due to the uniformity of the sintered metal coating which seems to result from the absence of die weights pressing thereagainst during the bonding process.
The mass of particulate material has been referred to herein as comprising sintered metal particles since this reference is convenient, and because sintering procedures are most frequently thought of in terms of par: ticulate metals. However, materials other than metals such as nylon and other plastics, for example-are contemplated by this invention, and the term sintering is employed in its fundamental sense to mean the uniting of smaller particles into a larger body by the application of heat thereto. It may be noted that the perforate carrier 42 should have a melting temperature that exceeds the sintering temperature of the particles employed; and similarly, the rods 37 and 38 should have the same characteristic. The separator sheets 41 should also have a relatively high temperature so that the particles will not adhere thereto during the sintering process.
' The filter unit which is made in accordance with this invention, is functionally superior to sintered filters here-v tofore made for the reason that the same degree of filtering is attained with a smaller pressure drop thereacross. primary filtering action occurs at the surface of the filter and, consequently, a thin layer of filtering material is all that is necessary to attain the requisite filtering action. However, it has in the past been necessary to obtain multiple layers of sintered particles in order to obtain s'uflicient structural strength in the unit. As a result, the pressure drop across the filter increased in proportion to the number of layers employed without substantially altering the filtering characteristics thereof. With the present invention, a thin coating of sintered particles is all that is required, for the structural strength is provided by the perforate or wire screen carrier.
, Moreover, sintered particles are quite expensive, and minimizing the quantity needed in each filter substantially reduces the cost thereof. In addition, a dual function is ascribed to the screen 42 in that this member initially serves as a mold to confine the mass of particles during the sintering process, and thereafter becomes a structural part of the completed filter.
While in the foregoing specification embodiments of the invention have been set forth in considerable detail, both as to a method and to structure, for purposes of making an adequate disclosure thereof, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that numerous changes may be made in those details without departing from the spirit and principles of the invention.
I claim:

Baby basics: Does how you parent hinder your child's brain development?
SALT LAKE CITY — Parents may be damaging healthy brain and social development with child-rearing practices that are more parent-centered than baby-focused, according to interdisciplinarian research that's sparking new debate about what to do for Baby.
Advocates of a back-to-basics approach say that nurturing activities like breast-feeding, cuddling and soothing a baby instead of letting him or her "cry it out" are all helpful activities for brain development.
But many parents don't do those things, according to Darcia Narvaez, professor of psychology at Notre Dame, who specializes in moral development in children and how early experiences influence brain development. Also a blogger for Psychology Today, she helped organize a recent symposium that looked at research on infant-rearing and what kind of impact different parenting methods have.
The multidisciplinary group of researchers said the United States has gone downhill in key care characteristics, from holding babies less to reduced breast-feeding, broken extended families and play that is structured and controlled, limiting creativity and spontaneity. They see a connection between those facts and challenges children increasingly face.
"Life outcomes for American youth are worsening, especially in comparison to 50 years ago," said Narvaez, who listed what she calls "ill-advised practices and beliefs" that have become commonplace — from choosing formula over breast-feeding to scheduling the timing of a baby's birth, "isolating" infants in their own rooms and encouraging them to cry it out at night instead of comforting them.
Oldies but goodies
Early hunter-gatherer societies got it right, Narvaez told the Deseret News. A crying baby was cuddled and soothed. She was kept close. The results have been linked to healthy emotional outcomes in adulthood.
Feeding infants breast milk, responding when they cry, near-constant touch and having multiple adult caregivers are among nurturing ancestral parenting practices that promote a baby's brain development, helping shape personality, physical health and moral development, she said.
The symposium presented studies that showed responding to a baby's needs rather than letting him "cry it out" helped a baby grow into a person with a conscience. Positive physical touch affects reaction to stress, impulse control and empathy. And unstructured play outside boosts social abilities and tamps down aggression. Those experts also credit having a cadre of supportive caregivers, instead of mom alone, with boosting IQ, ego resilience and development of empathy.
"All of these practices have an impact on at least one outcome," said Narvaez. "It's sort of like vitamins. Vitamin B is good for this and vitamin A is good for something else. Breast-feeding is good for the immune system, for intelligence, for a host of other things. Touch is good for distress, for being responsive...."
Noted the researchers in a release summarizing their review: "Whether a corollary to these modern practices or the result of other forces, research shows an epidemic of anxiety and depression among all age groups, including young children; rising rates of aggressive behavior and delinquency in young children; and decreasing empathy, the backbone of compassionate, moral behavior, among college students."
But wait
It's often said babies don't come with a manual. It's also true that findings on the topic of how to care for babies contradict each other. In a romp through parenting sites on the Internet, it's easy to find new parents and sometimes experienced ones lamenting that lack of consistency.

If you look back at Oklahoma's recruiting classes, they are understandably full of kids from Texas and Oklahoma but the Sooners have had success going to other states from time to time and pulling out some kids. Not like their current class of 2012 however, as Bob Stoops and company added a commitment from Baltimore (Md.) defensive end Charles Tapper on Sunday to give them a player from a fifth different state.
"I believe Oklahoma was the best fit for me to get my degree and also the best choice to get me to the next level," Tapper told Scout.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound athlete held offers from West Virginia, Penn State, Miami and others but felt going to Norman was best for him. A talented but raw athlete, Tapper is also a very good basketball player and performed well in the Badger Sports 7-on-7 at Rutgersin the spring.
"I think it is going to be great because I think I will be able to learn a lot from coach Stoops," he said.Tapper is the 12th commitment for Oklahoma in the upcoming class, which is expected to be on the smaller side numbers-wise. He is the first defensive lineman for the Sooners.

In this workshop Tim Grey teaches how to use Nik Software's HDR Efex Pro 2.0 to create great high-dynamic-range (HDR) images. After showing you the basics of HDR Efex Pro—including configuring the interface and settings, using presets, and evaluating your image—Tim introduces the various adjustment options. Learn how to make overall tonal and color adjustments, use control points to apply selective adjustments, and reset adjustments or go back in the history. Plus, get tips on applying finishing touches to your images and saving the final processed image.
HDR Efex Pro requires a host application, either Photoshop, Lightroom, or Apple Aperture, in order to process your images. If you're using Photoshop as your primary tool for optimizing your photos, then I highly suggest that you use Adobe Bridge to start off the process of assembling HDR images with HDR Efex Pro. And the process is rather simple. Within Adobe Bridge, you simply navigate to the location where the individual frames for your HDR composition are located, and then select the images that you want to assemble. So, here I have some images from the Abbey at Melk in Austria. I'll click on the first image in the series and then hold the shift key and click on the last image in the series.
And that will select all of the frames in my series of HDR captures. In this case, three individual exposures, separated by one stop each. With those images selected I can then go to the tools menu, and choose Nik Software, followed by Merge to HDR Efex Pro. When you choose that option, the images will be opened in HDR Efex Pro, you'll see that each image is listed on the list of source files. You could also open additional images, if, for example, you had neglected to open all of the frames in your HDR. And then you can specify whether you want the images to be opened as a smart object.
With this option turned on, you'll be able to go back to HDR Efex Pro directly from Photoshop for the assembled image so that you can fine tune the settings used to interpret that HDR image. With the source files identified, and the Create Smart Object check box turned on, you can then click the merge dialog button in order to have these individual images processed and assembled into a single HDR capture where you'll then will be able to apply some of the finer adjustments for the images.
There are currently no FAQs about Up and Running with HDR Efex Pro 2.0.
