Prong debut new video
Good song, band sounds tight.
Digging: Brannthorde - Auf Teufel Komm Raus
I agree. Good song. The band is pretty simple sounding though.
Dang. This band still sounds pretty solid after all these years.
Digging: Zao - Xenophobe / Fear Itself
As a long time Prong fan it's great to see them still on form after all these years, it's a pretty good song (video is cool) but I think 'Windows shut' is by far the highlight of the 'Ruining lives' album and would've been a better choice for single/video. I was a little underwhelmed at first by the album (seems more poppy/less heavy than the previous one, still good though) but windows shut rules and has more varied vocals.
Also I suppose they sound more 'simple' these days as they are a trio (unlike in the mid 90's) they've also stripped things down and don't have the keyboards/samples/effects that they had for a while.

Smartphone Surge Heralds End of PC Era
Given how fast technology changes and how quickly it's adopted globally, should we be surprised to hear that smartphone shipments have outpaced PCs? It's one of those things written on tech-evolution walls, isn't it?
Even if it was anticipated, and obvious, I have to say I was a bit sad reading the news... Well, perhaps, nostaglic would be a better word.
Recently, research firm Canalys.com Ltd. reported the crossover happened in 2011. Even with hyped-up tablet-type device shipments included, sexy smartphones took a noticeable lead over their rather passé computing hardware brothers. You can find all the charts and stats here, but this is the top-level take-away:
Although 2012 may take some of the "Wow" factor out of smartphones and slow the runaway sales uptick as smartphones become more commonplace, Canalys VP Chris Jones believes this was a significant development. He said further about last year's market dynamics:
Smart phone shipments overtaking those of client PCs should be seen as a significant milestone. In the space of a few years, smart phones have grown from being a niche product segment at the high-end of the mobile phone market to becoming a truly mass-market proposition. The greater availability of smart phones at lower price points has helped tremendously, but there has been a driving trend of increasing consumer appetite for Internet browsing, content consumption and engaging with apps and services on mobile devices.
After I read the above statement, I immediately patted my laptop and said, "Don't worry, I still love you." Call me old-fashioned, but it's kind of sad to see a significant milestone like this come to pass. It's likely for the foreseeable future that many people -- myself included -- will still need and use both computing and mobile platforms and will continue to buy both tools. However, it's possible we're stepping closer to the end of the PC era. I think that deserves a moment of reflection.
I was in fifth grade in 1981 when I first laid hands on a computer keyboard. I didn't realize then what a life-changing moment it was. But, I'm grateful for the power -- and eventually, mobility -- the computer age put in my hands. It's been a good run.
That said, I guess it doesn't really matter anymore if we call the tools that make our lives run smoother and more efficiently PCs, Macs, smartphones, netbooks, or tablets. It's the technology horsepower under the hood we've all come to love.

This application is a division of co-pending application Ser. No. 07/676,813, filed on Mar. 28, 1991, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,087,277.
1. Field of the Invention
The subject invention is generally related to high temperature ceramic particulate filters and, more particularly, to candle filters used in coal combustion systems and a method for their manufacture.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A number of high temperature filtration systems for coal combustion are currently being developed by a number of companies. The economic viability, efficiency, and durability of these systems are largely dependent on the delivery of particulate-free hot gas to the power turbine. A typical filtration system will operate up to approximately 1 megapascal (MPa), which is equivalent to 10 atmospheres or 150 pounds per square inch (psi), and 1000� C. (1850� F.). The filters are subjected to a wide range of stress-inducing forces including vibrations and thermal shock resulting from pulse cleaning. In addition, the filters are subject to corrosion due to the alkali and steam present in the combustion gases. Low level gas phase contaminants such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and calcium oxide are also sources of corrosion.
The drawing FIGURE shows the flow of gas in a candle filter module. Hot gas from a coal furnace is directed across a plurality of candle filters which hang from a tube sheet. The candle filters are hollow cylindrical members with closed bottom ends and open top ends and are typically hung from the tube sheet by a flange which protrudes from the top end of the candle filter. A typical candle filter is 2-5 inches in outer diameter, 1-3 inches in inner diameter, and 3-4 feet in length. The candle filters are porous and are designed such that particles present in the raw gas are trapped on the outer surface of the candle filters while the gas is permitted to pass through. The clean gas passes upwards through the hollow section of the candle filter and out to a turbine or other element. Over time, a dust cake builds up on the outer surface of the candle filters. To remove the dust cake, a pulse of air is delivered down through the hollow portion of the candle filter which exerts a reverse gas pressure on the outside of the candle that breaks the dust cake from the surface. Fragmented pieces of the dust cake fall into a collection container under gravitational forces.
Prior art candle filters are typically fabricated by bonding silicon carbide (SiC), alumina-silica, mullite, or cordierite grains with a clay binder. Aggregate size (grain) affects the porosity and permeability. It is, of course, the dust cake that builds up on the filtering surface (outside wall) that constitutes the filter most of the time, and is responsible for the filtering efficiency. Some candles incorporate a layer of ceramic fibers or fine grains on the filtering surface (outside wall) of the candle to prevent deep penetration of particles into the filter. Prior art filters have not proved to be durable enough for continuous high temperature use. The clay binder used to bond the ceramic grains eventually forms a brittle glass matrix that is easily damaged by the thermal shock encountered during pulse cleaning. These filters have also tended to be subject to extensive corrosion damage from the alkali and steam which is present in direct coal fired turbine (DCFT) environments.
It is an object of this invention to provide a new method for manufacturing high temperature ceramic particulate filters.
It is another object of this invention to provide high temperature ceramic candle particulate filters suitable for use in a variety of coal combustion applications.
It is yet another object of this invention to provide a composition of materials suitable for the production of high temperature ceramic filters.
According to the invention, refractory cement is combined with graded refractory aggregate, sintering agents and pore forming additives such as naphthalene and polymer fibers. The composition is cast in a mold constructed to produce a filter, dried, and cured. The resulting cast is then heated to temperatures exceeding 1000� C. under a controlled heating cycle. During heating, the pore forming additives disintegrate to produce pores in situ in the cast (voids where the pore forming constituents had been present). Naphthalene sublimates at 80.2� C. and inexpensive polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and the like typically melt between 170� C. -360� C. Upon cooling, a porous high temperature filter is produced which can be used in numerous coal combustion filtration applications.
The single drawing FIGURE is a schematic diagram showing the flow of gases in a candle filter module.
The subject invention is related to a composition and process for making a new class of ceramic particulate filters using refractory concrete, a concrete suitable for use at temperatures up to 1870� C. (3400� F.). Refractory concrete (castable) is combined with pore forming additives such as polymeric fibers or powders, naphthalene, sawdust or other compounds which will disintegrate to create pores or voids in the concrete upon high temperature heating. Graded refractory aggregate, such as pulverized, calcined kaolin, mullite or alumina, as well as sintering agents, such as zinc oxide (ZnO) are included with the composition for binding the resulting filter structure. Ceramic materials, metal reinforcing screen, or graphite fibers can be included to enhance material toughness. The composition is placed in a mold, allowed to cure, and then heated to high temperatures. During high temperature heating, the pore forming additives melt, sublimate, or otherwise disintegrate to create pores or voids within the concrete. After cooling, the filter structure remains porous and can be used to separate particulate matter present in raw gas, such as that produced by a coal furnace.
The types of concrete, aggregate, sintering agents, and pore forming additives used can be varied widely within the practice of the present invention. The concrete should be of the high temperature refractory type which can be cast to form a candle filter or other filter configuration and usable at high temperatures. For example, calcium aluminate cement, phosphoric acid, and phosphates would be suitable binders. The pore forming additives are chosen from those which will sublimate, melt, or otherwise disintegrate at temperatures below those used when subjecting the concrete to refractory conditions. For example, naphthalene sublimates at 80.2� C. and inexpensive polymer fibers such as polyethylene, polypropylene or the like typically melt between 170� C. and 360� C. The pore formers could be selected from suitable organic or synthetic powder or fiber materials. Melting polymers may also help in sintering the filter. As described above, candle filters are hollow cylinders with closed bottom ends. Hence, a mold is required to shape the concrete before curing, drying and heating.
Two candle filters have been prepared from different material compositions containing refractory concrete and pore forming additives. A first composition contained naphthalene and polymer fibers (dacron polyester fibers) as the pore forming additives. The naphthalene is ground to a fine powder of approximately 420 μm in diameter, and the polymer fibers are cut into 0.25 to 3 inch pieces. The naphthalene and polymer fibers are combined with calcined kaolin (aggregate:, pyrex glass (sintering agent), calcium aluminate (cement), and alumina fibers. The alumina fibers are added to provide the candle filter with extra strength. The first composition had its constituents present in the following weight percentages: 21.0-23.0% cement, 63.0-66.0% aggregate, 8.84-10.0% naphthalene, 2.56-2.82% sintering agent, 0.12-0.67% alumina fibers, and 0.08-0.20% polymer fibers. A second composition contained polymer fibers (dacron polyester fibers) exclusively as the pore forming additive. The polymer fibers were cut into 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 inch pieces. The second composition had its constituents present in the following weight percentages: 24.0-26.0% cement, 70.0-73.0% aggregate, 2.74-3.51% sintering agent, and 0.20-0.60% polymer fibers. In both compositions, the aggregate had a maximum particle size diameter of 600 μm.
The candle filters are formed by mixing the cement, aggregate, sintering agent, and pore forming agent for 3-5 minutes to obtain a homogenous mixture. After combining the constituents, water is added until a placeable consistency for casting is obtained. The wet mixture is cast into a hollow cylindrical mold. The mold may have an appropriate length with an outer diameter of 3 inches and an inner diameter of 1.5 to 1.75 inches. The outer portion of the mold may be made of polyvinylchloride (PVC) tubing and the inner portion of the mold may be a paper tube. The mold can be held together with rubber bands and set in a metal plate to secure its base. After placing the wet mixture of concrete in the mold, the mold is vibrated until the wet mixture attains the shape of the mold. After careful vibration, the mold and its contents are placed in a plastic bag and allowed to cure overnight. After curing, the cured tube (cast) is separated from the mold and allowed to air dry over night. The resulting cast is then heated in an oven according to the following schedule: 24 hours at 100� C.; increase the temperature from 100� C. to 550� C. at a rate of 1� C. per minute (the slow rate of heating gets rid off combined water); hold the temperature at 550� C. for 6 hours; increase the temperature from 550� C. to 1200� C. at a rate of 1� C. per minute; hold the temperature for 24 hours at 1200� C.; then cool to room temperature at a rate of 30� C. per minute. The slow cooling is designed to minimize microcracking within the body of the filter. During the heating process, the naphthalene sublimates and the polymer fibers melt such that a cement candle filter having pores formed in situ is created.
The percent porosity of the candle filters produced has been determined using the Archimedean Principle. The candle filters made from the first composition containing both naphthalene and polymer fibers had a 50.0-57.0% porosity while the candle filters made from the second composition had a 46.0-50.0% porosity. The porosity ranges for both sets of candle filters are sufficient to allow the candle filters to be useful in separating particulate matter in a gas stream such as that which is produced by a coal furnace. The permeability of the candle filters was tested by measuring the pressure drop across the filter at different air velocities. The candle filters formed from the first composition containing both naphthalene and polymer fibers had permeabilities (pressure drops) ranging from 2.96-7.19 mbars. The candle filters formed from the second composition containing only polymer fibers were less permeable and had pressure differentials ranging between 12.39-20.61 mbars. Nevertheless, the permeabilities of the candle filters formed from both compositions were acceptable for their use in a DCFT or other coal fired application.
The candle filters of the present invention will not corrode as quickly as prior art clay and ceramic fiber candle filters. The components of the filter are corrosive resistant at high temperature and contain no glassy phases.
While the invention has been described in terms of its preferred embodiment where polymers and organic constituents have been incorporated in compositions containing refractory concrete, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention can be practiced with modification within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

The graveyard of American businesses is receiving another occupant. Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania-based apparel manufacturer FesslerUSA, over 100 years old, is closing its doors. The company, founded in 1900, began by producing cotton underwear, and most recently has marketed private-label fashion knitwear. Its all-American approach to business reflected the values and ingenuity that made American capitalism thrive.
According to the text of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the law is supposed "to promote the financial stability of the United States by improving accountability and transparency in the financial system, to end 'too big to fail,' [and] to protect the American taxpayer by ending bailouts."
However, as is usually the case with federal laws, Dodd-Frank does precisely the opposite.
Friday's jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stated that "total non-farm payroll employment increased by 171,000 in October, and the unemployment rate was essentially unchanged [from September] at 7.9 percent."
Another day, another subsidized "green energy" firm going bankrupt. This time it's A123 Systems Inc., a Massachusetts-based manufacturer of batteries for electric cars that received about $500 million in state and federal assistance, including a $249 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
A123, which has tumbled in value from $2.3 billion to just $11 million, filed for bankruptcy in Delaware on Tuesday after missing an interest payment on $143.8 million of debt.

Don't do it anymore (but the local kids keep pestering me to buy it - one kid, about your age asked me the other night if I wanted some, which was apparently 100% THC! Technically impossible, 28% is about the max - I declined). Go for a Thai stick, if you're still intersted; hard to grow, but worth the wait. But the weight will make your pocket somewhat lighter...

GW2 is MMORPG and it was built with B2P model in mind and they are working on new stuff for the game, since they have nothing else but their cash shop as main source of income and production of new stuff for game isn't free it's only fair that they charge something for what they're doing.
You can always BUY THE GEMS WITH GOLD and as such you don't have to spend a single dollar on the new content, it only requires you to play the game and get enough gold to purchase the gems.
Also the story was free when it went public and you could've unlocked it if you logged in once the episode was released, so that's their way of rewarding players who are active.
You as a returning player can't expect everything to be handed instantly to you besides what you already payed for (and that's the original game content). So you either have to buy it or play the game long enough to obtain it with in-game golds.
In my opinion the living story is not worth a single dollar / single gold coin.

How to save Wildstar

oh no, another thread "this game is too hard"...
face it, this game is made to be hard. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN DON'T PLAY IT!
It's simple as that. This game will be HC and it'll stay HC and that was one thing we knew about WS, before release. So this game will have its community and that community will enjoy the game as it is and not for "what I would like it to be, but it's not atm so I'll whine on forums to cause ripples".

I've tried redownloading and reinstalling the whole thing but that error is a stubborn one.
Anyone know anything that I could try or had the same thing happening?

yes, this is the game we were promised.
they told us everything about the game and what to expect and they did deliver it.
Now it might've stranded from that original path and the recent changes with the living story (which didn't really improve) made me dislike that aspect of the game but overal it's a good game I guess.

If every sub game would do that I'd jump on that sub train instantly.
I'd be subbed on more than just 1 game if that would be the model :D

General Discussion « Star Citizen
to be honest, it's not your every day mmo... it'll be a "persistant" world because you'll be able to explore every bit of the universe but there won't be servers like you're used to. As far as I'm aware players which are close to eachother will create a link and they'll be able to see eachother and the one who has better PC and faster internet will be the host of that link. I'm not sure how many people will be able to see eachother at the same time but I'm guessing that it won't be more than 64.
So I'm really disliking that part of the game and just because of that I'm not really interested in it. Something might've changed in the meantime but I highly doubt it.

why do MMOs have a subscription fee?
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion

that's just the problem... with todays trends of giving out new content in existing MMORPG can in no way justify the cost of the subs (because I do not care about the costs which dev has to cover.. I only care what content am I getting for my money). So that means if I'm not getting any new content, which is large enough to call it new content and not just a patch which brings new BG map or something, for almost a year then I'm sure as hell not going to pay for that.
You can see how things turned out for ESO. It's only 3 months out and the game is on life support just because they decided to go with P2P subs. I doubt they'll be able to hold it out for a console release considered how much it costs to have another launch (and looking at the fact that they decided to push it back to work on PC version and try to polish those same stuff on console versions just means they need more resources than they expected and I'm not sure that ESO is providing them with enough cash flow right now).
Now if you really want to you can google the earnining comparison of F2P vs P2P games and see how P2P actually doesn't make a good cash cow. It just puts a paywall between the company and the potential customer. Most people will just turn around and not even take a second look at it, but with F2P games you can offer your players access to game for free and if you do it right people will spend a lot of money in cash shop. That would make a F2P model actually more viable for long term support because those customers which came in train with you on start (the initial rush) and bought the game will eventually leave, as trends do speak a lot of people leaves after the 1st month and those who didn't want to spend money on the game just to see if they'll like it will not even bother paying later (unless they still wanna try the game and find it on some discount deal) because there's so many other games which are on-par with quality but they do not require you to shell out 30$ + 15$ a month to play.
Those people might check out your game if it was f2p and see that they actually like it and they might spend money in cash shop but with f2p the market is way bigger and you do have a higher number of potential spenders. We all know that bad cash shops which just pop out every time you open your inventory or something does push people away, but that's just bad cash shop design and if done well might even result in a major income for a long period of time since there's no paywall for anyone who wants to try the game later on or did just find out about it. So basically from everything I read so far F2P with a good cash shop just seems like a better long term deal where the sub model is basically an initial cash grab to stock on for later and hope to god people continue to sub while you have another few months to fix what you fucked up initially and neglect the content for another year or so.

Not certanly something that's my 2nd job xD
Now there's people who do that and that's the way they're having fun, to each their own. It just means that being a casual player in this game will not get you far in terms of PvE progression and that's just fine if you ask me because the sence of reward for those who do play is that much bigger (and that's kinda the point).

That's just it, because the auction house is global the few cannot control the whole market... There's infinite amount of gold which can be farmed and that also means there's no telling how many people will get the precursor every day and then that one can undercut you and then another one can undercut that one, and so on and there's so much gold a person can have to keep buying out and putting them for higher buyout (and that depends if he's ever going to sell them at that price and if he's going to make profit since the AH takes a quite a chunk of gold).
Because of this kind of market everything is dependant on supply and demand.

|Characterization of creep and microstructure of novel high-temperature magnesium alloys
|Fletcher, Michelle Lynn
|Master of Applied Science - MASc
|Mechanical Engineering
|Copyright Date:
|Publicly Available in cIRcle
|The desire for fuel efficient, yet high performance, vehicles in the automotive industry has resulted in a high demand for light weight structural materials. Magnesium alloys are one of the lightest structural materials available to engineering designers. Wrought magnesium alloy bars, sections and tubes have been used in the aerospace, electronics and automotive industries, where component weight is of concern. The operating temperature of these components is typically limited to below 100°C, since creep resistance begins to deteriorate above this temperature. Creep deformation in magnesium alloys has been generally contributed to grain boundary sliding and plastic deformation leading to inter-granular failure. This research investigated the creep resistance of five wrought magnesium alloys (AE42, AJ32, AX30, EZ33 and ZE10) developed for elevated temperature automotive applications. Non-conventional techniques were utilized to study the creep resistance of these alloys on the micro and macro scale at temperatures ranging from 25°C to 175°C. Neutron diffraction techniques were utilized to measure alloy texture, total strain and elastic creep strain. Metallographic techniques were subsequently used to analyze microstructural constituents in each alloy. The alloy microstructure was then correlated to the alloy's creep resistance. The results indicate that the aluminum free magnesium alloys (i.e., EZ33 and ZE10) had higher creep resistance compared to aluminum containing alloys (i.e., AE42, AJ32 and AX30). For the aluminum containing alloys, twinning and formation of a large amount of the Mg₁₇Al₁₂ intermetallic compound likely contributed to a decreased creep resistance. Strontium and calcium were both seen to limit Mg₁₇Al₁₂ formation, thus improving creep resistance of the AJ32 and AX30 alloys with respect to the AE42 alloy, respectively. Both the EZ33 and ZE10 alloys contained nanoprecipitates uniformly dispersed throughout the matrix, possibly contributing to dispersion strengthening and improved creep resistance. The results of neutron diffraction studies suggest that the aluminum containing alloys have experienced unique lattice structure changes on different crystallographic planes. In contrast, the aluminum free alloys had very stable crystallographic lattice strains throughout the duration of creep testing.

How Lock Bumping Works
The first thing you'll need to open a specific lock is the bump key. Understand that not just any bump key will do. A bump key must be made for that specific model and brand of lock. It is not a master key that will open any lock, but rather a key that fits in the lock but will not open it under normal conditions.
