This invention relates to shape memory alloys (SMA), more particularly, to nickel-titanium based shape memory alloys.
An article made of an alloy having a shape memory can be deformed at a low temperature from its original configuration. Upon application of heat, the article reverts back to its original configuration. Thus, the article "remembers" its original shape.
For example, in nickel-titanium alloys possessing shape memory characteristics, the alloy undergoes a reversible transformation from an austenitic state to a martensitic state with a change in temperature. This transformation is often referred to as a thermal elastic martensitic transformation. The reversible transformation of the Ni-Ti alloy between the austenite to the martensite phases occurs over two different temperature ranges which are characteristic of the specific alloy. As the alloy cools, it reaches a temperature (Ms) at which the martensite phase starts to form and finishes the transformation at a still lower temperature (Mf). Upon reheating, it reaches a temperature (As) at which austenite begins to reform and then a temperature (Af) at which the change back to austenite is complete. In the martensitic state, the alloy can be easily deformed. When sufficient heat is applied to the deformed alloy, it reverts back to the austenitic state, and returns to its original configuration.
Titanium and nickel-titanium base alloys capable of possessing shape memory are widely known. See, for example, Buehler U.S. Pat. No. 3,174,851 issued Mar. 23, 1965, and Donkersloot et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,832,243, issued Aug. 27, 1974. Commercially viable alloys based on nickel and titanium having shape memory properties have been demonstrated to be useful in a wide variety of applications in mechanical devices.
Albrecht, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,412,872 issued Nov. 1, 1983 indicates that memory alloys based on Ni-Ti possess an MS temperature which cannot, for theoretical reasons, exceed 80� C., and in practical cases usually does not exceed 50� C. Conventional nickel-titanium alloys are therefore unsuitable for use in high temperature applications such as heating, ventilating and air conditioning applications, which require Ms temperatures exceeding about 80� C. (176� F.).
Nickel-titanium base alloys have been modified to obtain different properties. For example, it is known that higher transitions can be obtained by substituting gold, platinum, and/or palladium for nickel. See, Lindquist, "Structure and Transformation Behavior of Martensitic Ti-(Ni,Pd) and Ti-(Ni,Pt) Alloys", Thesis, University of Illinois, 1978 and Wu, Interstitial Ordering and Martensitic Transformation of Titanium-Nickel-Gold Alloys, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1986. Additions of these elements, however, make the ternary alloys quite expensive. Tuominen et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,865,663 issued Sep. 12, 1989, discloses high temperature shape memory alloys containing nickel, titanium, palladium and boron. Nenno, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,759,906 issued Jul. 26, 1988 discloses a high temperature shape memory alloy comprising 40-60 atomic % Ti, 0.001-18 atomic % Cr, and the balance being Pd. Donkersloot et al. U.S. Pat. No. 3,832,243, issued Aug. 27, 1974, describes a variety of Ni-Ti shape memory alloys, including Ni5 Ti4 Zr.
Various other additions to the conventional nickel-titanium alloy are known. For example, iron, copper, niobium and vanadium have each been suggested additives for various reasons. See, Harrison, U.S. Pat. No. 4,565,589 issued Jan. 21, 1986 which discloses a low MS alloy having from 36-44.75 atomic % nickel, from 44.5-50 atomic % titanium and the remainder copper; Harrison, U.S. Pat. No. 4,337,090 issued Jun. 29, 1982; and Quin, U.S. Pat. No. 4,505,767 issued Mar. 19, 1985. Melton, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,144,057 discloses a shape memory alloy consisting essentially of a mixture of 23-55 wt. % nickel, from 40-46.5 wt. % titanium and 0.5-30 wt. % copper, with the balance being from 0.1 to 5 wt. % of aluminum, zirconium, cobalt, chromium and iron.
Two Russian articles discuss the effect of various elements on the conventional nickel-titanium base alloy. "Calculation of Influence of Alloying on the Characteristics of the Martensitic Transformation in Ti-Ni", (D.B. Chernov, 1982) discloses the results of studies wherein the interaction of some 32 elements with nickel and titanium were calculated using experimental phase diagrams and on the basis of empirical methods. These calculations were then compared with known experimental data for ternary alloys of Ni-Ti and Nb, Cr, Fe, Co, Pd, Cu, Al, Si and Ge. The author concluded that one may expect that the martensitic peak temperature (Mp), per one atomic % of the alloying component, may be raised or lowered by the addition of Cr, Ag, Au, Hf and Sc.
Another Russian article entitled "Martensitic Transformation in Alloyed Nickel-Titanium" (1986) identifies the results of x-ray diffraction studies of structural transformations in nickel-titanium alloys alloyed with transition elements. The article discloses that when titanium is replaced by zirconium and hafnium, the martensitic transformation in Ni-Ti is conserved, but with significant lowering of the MS temperature. The composition of the disclosed alloy is Ni50.5 Ti46 Hf3.5.
Many methods of forming shape memory alloys are known. For example, Thoma, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,881,981 issued Nov. 21, 1989, relates to a method of producing shape memory alloys. The method includes the steps of increasing the internal stress level, forming the member to a desired configuration, and heat treating the member at a selected memory imparting temperature. Other processing methods are taught by Wang, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,304,613 issued Dec. 8, 1981, and Fountain, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,310,354 issued Jan. 12, 1982.
Donachie, et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,808,225 issued Feb. 28, 1989, discloses a process similar to that of Fountain, et al., but which comprises the steps of providing metal powder having at least 5 wt. % of one or more reactive elements such as titanium, aluminum, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, vanadium and zirconium. The powder is consolidated to an essentially fully dense shape, and then, localized areas of the consolidated shape are progressively melted and solidified to produce a product of improved ductility. Nickel-titanium alloys containing at least 45 wt. % nickel and at least 30 wt. % titanium are preferred. None of these known processing methods provide Ni-Ti alloys usable in high temperature applications.
The present invention addresses the problems and disadvantages of the prior art and provides a high transformation temperature shape memory alloy which has good strength characteristics and is more economical to use than the commercially available high temperature SMA.
In a high temperature shape memory titanium based alloy according to the invention, hafnium or hafnium and zirconium are substituted for titanium. A nickel-rich alloy of the invention preferably contains hafnium or hafnium and zirconium in an amount of at least 4 at. %, provided that the amount of hafnium is at least 1 at. % of the alloy. In alloys of the invention where the amount of nickel is less than 50 at. %, particularly less than 49.9 at. %, hafnium or hafnium and zirconium are substituted for titanium in an amount of at least 0.1 at. %, preferably at least 0.5 at. %. Contrary to the teachings of the prior art, it has been found that the addition of hafnium to a nickel-titanium base alloy increases the transformation temperatures and strength, while maintaining reasonable formability characteristics of the alloy, allowing the fabrication of useful articles. Af of such an alloy is at least about 110� C., preferably 160� C., and particularly 110�-500� C.; the corresponding Ms is at least 80� C. and particularly 80�-400� C. Articles formed from the alloy according to the invention useful in high temperature applications are also provided, together with a method for forming the alloy of the invention.

Alloys of the invention can be represented by the general formula:
MA Ti.sub.(100-A-B) XB
wherein M is a metal other than zirconium and hafnium, particularly one or more elements selected from elements such as nickel, copper, gold, platinum, iron, manganese, vanadium, aluminum, palladium, tin and cobalt. A is 30 to 51 at. %, B is 0.1 to 50 at. %, and X is Hf or a combination of Hf and Zr, provided that the amount of Zr does not exceed 25 at. % in the alloy, the amount of Hf is at least 0.1 at. %, and the sum of A+B is 80 or less. For optimum performance in alloys where A is greater than 50 up to 51, B is preferably at least 4, preferably 4 to 49 at. %, and the alloy contains at least 1 at. % Hf.
Ni-Ti is the most widely used titanium-based binary, but other metals can be used in place of nickel in titanium-based alloys according to the invention, such as those described above. Accordingly, a high temperature titanium-based shape memory alloy of the invention may consist essentially of about 30 to 51 at. % of one or more metals, preferably one or more elements selected from the group consisting of nickel, copper, gold, platinum, iron, manganese, vanadium, aluminum, palladium, tin and cobalt, about 0.1 to 50 at. % of a second element selected from hafnium or a combination of hafnium and zirconium, provided that the amount of zirconium does not exceed about 25 at. %, preferably 10 at. % of said alloy, and the balance is titanium, provided further that the amount of titanium is at least about 20 at. % of the alloy. Narrower subranges of 42-50 at. % or even 48-50 at. % for Ni, alone or in combination with one or more the other recited elements, are preferred for forming certain types of SME articles, such as high temperature springs, wires, and actuators. Comparable subranges for Hf or Hf-Zr are 0.1 to 40 at. %, 0.1 to 25 at. %, 0.5 to 25 at. %, or even 5 to 25 at. %. A low range of 0.5 to 8 at. % Hf or Hf-Zr, for example, can provide sufficient shape memory effects for some applications, without limiting ductility.
The amount of hafnium contained in Ni-Ti alloys of the invention is preferably from about 3.5 to 50 at. %, with subranges of 3.5 to 40 at. %, 8 to 25 at. %, and 4 to 20 at. %. It has been found that 1 at. % Hf actually lowers the transformation temperature range of the resulting Ni-Ti-Hf alloy to less than that of the Ni-Ti base alloy. On the other hand, amounts of about 20 to 50 at. % Hf tend to embrittle the alloy.
In general, preferred alloys of the invention are formed by substituting hafnium (Hf) for titanium (Ti) in Ti-Ni binary alloys wherein Ni is depleted to less than 50 at. %. A preferred base binary alloy is Ni49 Ti51, the binary having the highest known transformation temperature. The amount of titanium contained in these alloys of the invention varies depending on the amount of hafnium used. The amount of hafnium in these alloys is preferably from about 0.1 to 49 at. %, more preferably about 0.1 to 25 at. %, and especially about 0.1 to 20 at. %.
The alloy compositions of the invention are preferably formed using substantially (99.7%) pure hafnium as a starting material. However, zirconium and hafnium occur together in nature and are two of the most difficult elements to separate. Even purified hafnium may contain up to 5 weight percent zirconium (Zr), and generally contains about 2 to 3 weight percent zirconium.
Hafnium may also be purposely added to an Ni-Ti-Zr alloy to obtain the advantages of the present invention. However, if the Zr content is too high, the total amount of Hf and Zr which is added to the Ni-Ti binary base alloy to obtain the desired high transformation temperature range tends to reduce the ductility of the alloy. Substituting Zr alone yields alloys having considerably lower transformation temperatures than with those with essentially pure Hf substitutions, as illustrated in FIG. 7. The amount of Zr needed to obtain a comparable transformation temperature tends to highly embrittle the alloy, whereas the smaller amount of Hf needed to obtain the same temperature tends not to produce such an undesirable effect. For example, referring to FIG. 7, to obtain a transformation temperature of 140� C., about 8 atomic percent Zr is needed which tends to embrittle the alloy. On the other hand, about 5 atomic percent Hf yields the same 140� C. transformation temperature, and the alloy is more workable and easier to process into articles.
The alloys of the invention are prepared according to conventional procedures, such as vacuum arc melting, vacuum induction melting, plasma melting, electron beam melting or the like. The as-cast end product is then subjected to various hot and/or cold working, annealing, and heat treatment to impart shape memory effect (SME) to the alloy. Exemplary of some of these procedures is the method for producing a shape memory alloy member disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,881,981, issued Nov. 21, 1989.
The specific treatment procedure used depends upon the particular element characteristics desired. Such elements may take the form of wires, flat springs, coil springs, and other useful engineering configurations, such as damper valve actuators. Keeping in mind that the relative amount of cold working depends highly on the composition of the alloy, articles such as leaf springs or the like can be formed by cold working the alloy to a reduction in area of between about 5 and 30%, followed by heat treatment to impart memory to the desired shape. Articles according to the invention preferably have as-cast, fully-annealed transition temperatures wherein Af is at least about 110� C., and Ms is at least about 80� C.
A preferred process for forming shape memory effect wire according to the invention is as follows. An Ni-Ti-Hf ingot, wherein Hf contains up to 5 wt. % Zr as an unavoidable impurity, is first formed. The ingot is hot worked at a temperature typically at least 800� C. for a number (e.g., 5 or more) of passes each at a small area reduction, e.g., 5-15%. The surface of the alloy is then cleaned, and a short annealing step is then carried out, for example, at a temperature of at least 800� C. for at least 10 minutes. A series of cold working reduction steps then follows, with a stress-relieving annealing step after one or more of the cold working steps. Each cold working step effects a further area reduction ranging from about 3-30%. The last cold working step is followed by a longer, inter-annealing step, for example, at a temperature of at least 600� C. for one hour. A succession of cold working steps then follows, preferably at successively increasing reductions ranging again from 3-30%. After the desired cold working is complete, the alloy is formed into the desired shape, e.g., held by a fixture, and heated to a temperature sufficient to obtain a permanent, reversible shape memory effect whenever the part is reheated above the Af temperature.
The general nature of the invention having been set forth above, the following examples are presented as illustrations thereof. It will be understood that the invention is not limited to these specific examples, but is susceptible to various modifications that will be recognized to those of ordinary skill in the art.
Ternary alloys with varying compositions of nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti) and hafnium (Hf) were prepared using high purity Ni and Ti rods, and substantially pure Hf rod or wire (99.7&, 3.1 wt. % of which is zirconium). The various compositions of the alloys prepared are provided in Table I, along with their as-cast transformation temperatures.
TABLE I______________________________________at. % Hf at. % Ti at. % Ni Mp (�C.) Ap (�C.)______________________________________0.0 51.0 49.0 69 1140.5 50.5 49.0 62 1041.0 50.0 49.0 69 1091.5 49.5 49.0 60 1053.0 48.0 49.0 76 1225.0 46.0 49.0 80 1348.0 43.0 49.0 86 15610.0 41.0 49.0 120 17511.0 40.0 49.0 129 18615.0 36.0 49.0 203 25020.0 31.0 49.0 307 35925.0 26.0 49.0 395 45530.0 21.0 49.0 525 622______________________________________
The weight of each element for each of the above alloys was first calculated from the alloy formula, and then the raw materials were weighed. The raw materials were then placed in a furnace equipped with a mechanical vacuum pump and a power supply. The alloys were prepared using an arc melting process. The sample was then melted and flipped for a total of six times to assure a homogeneous button-shaped alloy.
It should be appreciated that the atomic percentages provided in Table I are the initial compositions and not the compositions of the as-cast, analyzed alloy buttons. It is suspected that arc melting volatilizes one or more of the alloy components, most likely the effect being most pronounced on Ti. Alloy compositions of the as-cast alloy buttons may therefore be different than those listed in Table I.
Samples of the as-cast alloy buttons were analyzed for transformation temperatures using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) in a DuPont 990 DSC cell with either a model 1090 or 2100 DuPont controller. Ten milligram (�1.0 mg.) samples were run at a constant scanning rate of 10� C./min.
The DSC plot for one of the alloys of the invention, Ni49 Ti41 Hf10, is shown in FIG. 1. A martensite peak (MP) temperature of 120� C. and an austenite peak (AP) temperature of 175� C. were obtained for this alloy composition. DSC plots similar to that shown in FIG. 1 were obtained for each of the alloy compositions listed in Table I. For the illustrated alloy, a fully annealed state is reached at about 900�-950� C.
FIG. 2 shows the effect of hafnium content on the Ni-Ti-Hf alloys of the invention having 49 atomic percent Ni. The transformation temperatures of the alloys of the invention having Hf contents greater than about 1.5 at. % were found to substantially increase with increasing hafnium content. At about 10-11 at. % Hf, there is a drastic rise in transformation temperatures.
Hardness tests were performed on a sample of each of the alloys listed in Table I using a standard Rockwell indentor according to conventional methods. As shown in FIG. 3, the Rockwell Hardness (HRC) of these alloys ranges from about 40 to about 55, indicating that the alloys of the invention are resistant to surface indentations and that such resistance increases with increasing hafnium content.
Ternary Ni-Ti-Hf alloys having 10 atomic percent Hf with varying contents of nickel and titanium were prepared in the same manner as the alloy compositions of Example 1. The compositions and as-cast transformation temperatures of these alloys are shown in Table II and plotted in FIG. 4.
TABLE II______________________________________at. % Hf at. % Ti at. % Ni Mp (�C.) Ap (�C.)______________________________________10.00 50.00 40.0 108 16810.00 44.00 46.0 108 16810.00 43.00 47.0 111 17210.00 42.00 48.0 103 16710.0 41.0 49.0 120 17510.00 40.00 50.0 104 16810.00 39.75 50.25 53 10710.00 39.50 50.5 -6 5710.00 39.00 51.0 <-20 35______________________________________
It can be seen that the nickel content has little effect on the transformation temperatures of the alloys of the invention in the range of about 40 to about 50 at. %. Transformation temperatures begin to drop rapidly above 50 at. % Ni.
Other nickel-rich ternary alloy compositions having the compositions listed in Table III were prepared in the same manner as in the previous examples. The peak transformation temperatures obtained from thermal analysis conducted according to the procedure described in Example 1 are also provided.
TABLE III______________________________________at. % Hf at. % Ti at. % Ni Mp (�C.) Ap (�C.)______________________________________25.0 25.0 50.0 405 43025.0 24.5 50.5 308 47715.0 34.75 50.25 184 23412.5 37.25 50.25 124 174______________________________________ The foregoing results show that addition of Hf also increases the transformation temperatures of binary alloys containing 50 at. % or more Ni.
The foregoing results show that addition of Hf also increases the transformation temperatures of binary alloys containing 50 at. % or more Ni.
A 20 gram ingot of Ni49 Ti41 Hf10 alloy was prepared according to the procedure of Example 1. This ingot was about 31 mm long, 8 mm wide and 7 mm high. A portion of the ingot having a 3mm�3mm cross-section was hot worked above the recrystallization temperature at about 900� C. for six passes with approximately a 10% reduction in area per pass using a two-high rolling mill with round-corner-square grooves. The sample was fully reheated between each reduction. The sample was then cold worked a number of times, to approximately 15% reduction in area, with inter-anneals at a temperature of 700� C. for approximately 5 minutes. Thereafter the alloy was cold worked, first to approximately 13% reduction in area, and then to approximately a 25% reduction in area. Inter-annealing of the alloy then was carried out by heating it to 650� C. for approximately one hour. The alloy was then cold worked to a 15% area reduction, then a second time to a 23% area reduction. The resulting cold worked samples were then placed into fixtures and individually subjected to memory imparting heat treatments at temperatures between about 550� and 700� C. for 1 hour. The DSC plots are shown in FIG. 5. As can be seen, the transformation temperatures begin to level out at memory imparting heat treatment temperatures above 600� C.
Two sections of wire prepared as in Example 4 were heat treated at 575� C. These sections were then tension tested in the martensitic phase and above the austenitic finish temperature. The stress-strain results of these tests are shown in FIG. 6 for austenite (A) and martensite (M) phases at 208� C. and 75� C., respectively.
Samples containing both zirconium and hafnium were formed and analyzed according to the procedure of Example 1. The results are given in FIG. 7. Hf and Zr are used in equal at. % amounts. It can be seen that substituting Hf even in Ni-Ti-Zr ternaries results in increased transformation temperatures over those of Ni-Ti-Zr ternaries. Surprisingly, the transformation temperatures of the Ni-Ti-Hf-Zr quaternaries are close to those of the corresponding Ni-Ti-Hf ternaries.
It will be understood that the above description is of preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention, and that the invention is not limited to the specific forms shown. Modifications may be made in the specific illustrations described herein without departing from the scope of the present invention as expressed in the appended claims. For example, while the articles made from the alloys of the invention have been described as being formed by specific processing sequences, it should be appreciated that the alloys of the invention can be processed using other methods and can be used to form other functional elements.

Remember Me
With Night of Hunters, Amos carries on the classical tradition of variations on a theme: taking inspiration from classical forms to create a bold new work while paying tribute to the mastery of the original compositions.
On Night of Hunters, which she wrote and produced, Amos comments, "I have used the structure of a classical song cycle to tell an ongoing, modern story. The protagonist is a woman who finds herself in the dying embers of a relationship. In the course of one night she goes through an initiation of sorts that leads her to reinvent herself allowing the listener to follow her on a journey to explore complex musical and emotional subject matter".
"One of the main themes explored on this album is the hunter and the hunted and how both exist within us." the singer explains.
The release of Night of Hunters will be supported by a tour in Europe and the U.S. starting in Helsinki, Finland on September 28. Check out all tour dates below.

Fallbrook housing project nears compromise
On a tour of the land, nearby residents who have fought the Beazer development efforts for years, were grudgingly complimentary of the revised proposal.
"It looks all right," said Chic Maclise, president of the Pala Mesa Village homeowners association and an outspoken opponent of the subdivision idea. "We (just) want to keep the appearance of this land consistent with the houses on that side and on this side."
She called several points in Beazer's latest alternative "agreeable," and noted, "They are making concessions."
Beazer has said for years that it took complaints and input from local residents seriously, and even incorporated them into its plans. But it wasn't until Monday night that any of the nationally known developer's plans were truly agreeable to local planners.
What's next
Delaney, who serves as chairwoman of the planning group's committee on design review, said she was pleased when Beazer presented a plan that was more palatable.
"Part of our job is to negotiate and find the best thing for Fallbrook," she said. "If we just say, 'No,' we may lose the opportunity to give input on this project."
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors gives quite a bit of weight to what the planning group advises, said Delaney, in large part because the local panel's 15 members try to be reasonable.
But before they approved the Pala Mesa Highlands project, the planning group did place a series of conditions on the project.
For one, Beazer had proposed 82 duplex buildings, for a total of 164 homes. The motion passed by the group reduced those numbers to 65 buildings, only 26 of which can be two stories.
The motion also called for at least 20 feet of space between houses, rather than 10 feet, and said the number of possible or actual bedrooms in each home should be limited to three.
"They may disagree with some of these," Delaney said. "They may say, 'This isn't feasible,' so it will be a give-and-take situation."
Mitrovich, the Beazer spokesperson, said that the developer is reviewing the list of conditions, and will probably be back before the planning group in the near future to discuss them.
"We have to go back and look at the motion, the conditions the planning group talked about," said Mitrovich. "Beazer has to evaluate what it means to the project. I'm hopeful that we would turn around and come back again very quickly, as early as next month."
She said the developer spent a lot of time coming up with the duplex alternative, and is committed to it, but that some details may need more compromise in order to make the project work.
"When Beazer made these alternatives, they spent time evaluating them to make sure they would be viable projects," she said. "We're going to continue to work with the planning group to see what we can do."

havent really seen ol spiney around at any forums in about a year or so, heheh.
well, anyways, im pretty sure he uses prismacolor markers or tria markers for the coloring. also, i think for some pieces he will do a sketch or lineart and then make photocopies to apply color to.
you can get markers at just about any art supply store.
try out some different types of markers on different types of paper. theres prismacolor markers, trias, ad markers, and several other types i know of. i tend to prefer the trias...nice colors and three tips, but are usually a bit more expensive. prismacolors are pretty good too as long as youre not coloring large areas...they dry out reeeeally quickly. you can usually use some rubbing alchohol to bring them back to life if they dry out too much. ad markers are great for coloring large areas, but they will bleed alot on certain papers. theyre really nice for doing larger renderings on newsprint or vellum though
hope that helps
January 23rd, 2003 #3rjm Guest
Thanx for the info. .

as far as i know, he also uses prismacolor pencils in bright solors for highlights.
i guess his tool lineup i similar to fengs.

DTN Midday Livestock Comments 07/02 11:23
Live Cattle Futures Mixed in Sluggish Trade
Trade volume and market intensity remains light Thursday as traders seem to
be calling it a day in front of the early market close. Markets will remain
closed until Monday in observance of Fourth of July, and may draw additional
activity early next week.
By Rick Kment
DTN Analyst
Livestock futures are coasting into the early close of trade Thursday as
traders look for some much needed stability following the wild market ride over
the last couple of trading sessions. Trade volume has remained extremely
sluggish, which could allow for prices to remain mixed in a tight range through
the end of the session. Corn prices are higher in light trade. September corn
futures are 5 cents per bushel higher. Stock markets are lower in light trade.
The Dow Jones is 33 points lower while Nasdaq is down 14 points.
Live cattle futures are trading mixed in a very narrow price range as
traders look for additional outside market and fundamental support over the
weekend. Overall beef clearance reports through the weekend and early next week
are likely to help set the tone for trade activity once traders return to the
market Monday. Following a lackluster Memorial Day movement, some have high
expectations of the weekend beef demand. Cash cattle trade is still undeveloped
Thursday morning, although a few bids are seen at $152 live and $240 dressed in
the North. This is within the same ranges seen Wednesday, where most of the
trade activity was seen. Activity is expected to be wrapped up in the South,
although more cattle may trade before the end of the day in the North.
Light to moderate losses are seen through the feeder cattle futures during
the lightly traded Thursday session. Following the wild swings in cattle
futures, and especially the feeder cattle market over the last couple of
trading sessions, the market is in need of some time to take a deep breath and
focus on fundamental market factors. The following days should give traders
that opportunity as markets will not reopen until Monday morning.
Light trade is once again characterizing the lean hog futures trade Thursday
morning as traders coast into closing bell and the long holiday weekend.
Moderate gains are holding through the entire morning in July and August summer
contracts with gains of 40 to 70 cents per cwt seen at midday. Light pressure
is once again seen in deferred contracts as traders remain concerned that
overall supplies will still keep the market under pressure long term. Cash
prices are lower on the National Direct morning cash hog report. The weighted
average price fell $0.98 per cwt to $72.23 per cwt with the range from $71.66
to $74.00 per cwt on 3,148 head reported sold. Cash prices are lower on the
Iowa Minnesota Direct morning cash hog report. The weighted average price fell
$0.71 per cwt to $73.82 per cwt with the range from $73.00 to $74.00 per cwt on
820 head reported sold. The National Pork Plant Report reported 160 loads
selling with prices falling $0.99 per cwt. Lean hog index for 6/30 is at $77.15
down 0.17, with a projected two-day index of $77.04 down 0.11.

At long last, my SF adventure NETHERWOOD is available again at these fine retailers:
I'll edit to add the additional platforms and the POD link when they go live.
"Laced with romance, this high-tech, futuristic, scifi adventure is full of suspense and danger." -SciFi Chick
A subversive, thrilling tale of the Singularity's dark side…and a love so intense it has the power to transform the world.
Talia Fortune, intergalactic sheriff, hunts a dangerous outlaw through cyberspace and into the Real. The chase brings Talia face-to-face with the terrifying truth — humanity, and Talia herself, unknowingly stand in the shadows of a high-tech apocalypse driven by artificial intelligence.
Talia must find the courage to trust the same man who destroyed her illusions and led her into danger, and disappear into an untamed, alien wilderness where no ordinary rules apply…
This edition features bonus material, including a short story set in the Netherwood universe, an interview with the author, and more.
I'll be releasing more stories in this universe and will keep you posted! I thought I was done with Talia and her weirdly beautiful world, but she and her compatriots in the Gray Forest aren't out of trouble yet, not by a long shot…
Michele Lang
Trapped Between Love and Death…
Jennifer Bridges wakes up in a hospital where she is the only patient. She can't remember anything about the car wreck that killed her mother. And her nightmares speak of mysteries that she cannot solve alone. Only one man can help her find a path to freedom…
A new paranormal romance story coming in July…

A lot of fun stuff to share…
But first, a quick update on how things are going out here. I got slammed along with the rest of the tri-state area by Superstorm Sandy and the big snowstorm that came the week after. So I have been offline for a long time. It gave me time to think (and scheme) and ultimately that is all for the good. But I am still reeling from the suffering of all the people here who are still grappling with the aftermath of these storms. And also amazed by the awesomeness of so many of my friends and neighbors
On to the stories. I have stories in two new anthologies that are coming out in the next few weeks, and wanted to show you the beautiful covers and give you a quick overview of each. I had such a great time writing these two very different stories, and will give you the heads up again when they go live.
"The Phoenix of Mulberry Street"
A short story set in the rich, lush, gorgeous historical fantasy universe of Mercedes Lackey's Elemental Masters. Muckraker and Fire Master Jane Emerson rescues a mysterious little match girl and does battle with a robber baron with a dragon's lust for treasure. Magic on the Lower East Side in 1885…I loved writing this story, in this world. Publishers Weekly called this story "complex and evocative."
I think the other stories in this collection are masterful! Out December 4th…here are some purchase links for you:
Barnes & Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/elemental-magic-mercedes-lackey/1111364146
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Elemental-Magic-All-New-Tales-Masters/dp/0756407877
Book Depository: http://www.bookdepository.com/Elemental-Magic-Mercedes-Lackey/9780756407872
"Fade Away and Radiate"
A futuristic tale of betrayal and redemption on a faraway snow-blasted planet. Set in my Netherwood universe, and featuring Anika Bowman, an interplanetary gardener running for her life from the truth back on Earth. She can't resist the brash, sexy as hell, genetically-modified soldier hell-bent on saving her from corporate murderers…love found in a dangerous time.
This looks to be an amazing anthology of futuristic romance stories, coming out in January — I'm looking forward to reading these stories myself. Here are the buy links:
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/The-Mammoth-Book-Futuristic-Romance/dp/0762446013
Barnes & Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-mammoth-book-of-futuristic-romance-trisha-telep/1108942654

The Canary Islands region
3,000 hours of light, which illuminates everything it touches with a smile. Four hundred kilometres of coast full of postcard beaches, ideal to recover your strength and live the seaside life to the full. Forty-three protected natural spaces which cover half the Island's territory. Tenerife is one of the most complete destinations anywhere in the world. An island whose 2034 square kilometres have as many options for enjoyment as an entire continent. Except that here, wherever on the island you may be, it is all less than an hour away. A true luxury.The Canary Island of Tenerife is the perfect year round destination.
Kindly sub tropical climate , known as the lucky island because of the wonderful weather.
Lots of places of interest , things to do and history to explore too numerous to mention see their website
Suffice to say people keep coming back winter and summer. A 4 hour flight to sub tropical winter sunshine , There's nowhere like it! thats why its been popular, year round, for the past 30 years !
Puerto Santiago
About Los Gigantes, Tenerife
Los Gigantes is a quiet pretty resort with many flowers and trees and is very well kept. The resort which is small has a certain atmosphere about it which makes you feel calm and relaxed. Unlike many other resorts there is little chance of the resort becoming larger due to it being closed in on all sides.
The sheer cliffs of "The Giants" attract scores of visitors every year and the views are some of the most spectacular on the island. This area remains one of the few calmer holiday destinations, which is quite rare on Tenerife. Lots to do from the harbour , diving, sailing, parascending, dolphin and whale watching as well a sea you can swim in, in comfort, all year round

There's no need to remove the SD card.
Think of the Montana like a removable usb drive and the installed SD card as another. Transfer anything you want to either by dragging and dropping files. Any maps you want the Montana to see are stored in the 'Garmin' directory with a *.img file extension. Any files containing waypoints, tracks and routes you want the Montana to see are placed in the 'Garmin/GPX' directory with a *.gpx file extension.
Using Basecamp you can create a new 'List' that contains all the waypoints, tracks and routes for a single trip you might be planning. You might name the list 'RideUtah'. After your done planning in BC, right click on that list and a window will open. Select 'Export', you can export (save) the list contents to a location of your choosing. Place it in the 'Garmin SD (?:) Garmin/GPX' directory on the microSD card in the gps. The file will take the name of the list with a *.gpx file extension (i.e.RideUtah.gpx). The file is a neat grouping of a set of related items. Upon bootup the Montana will load the file.
To help cut clutter, you might create a new folder on the SD card called 'My GPS Rides/Utah' and drag and drop the 'RideUtah.gpx' file there when you no longer wish to see or use it. I created and use a directory called 'My OSM Maps' to store various country maps, *.img files, that I'm not using. I don't need the gps or BC to load a map of Peru if I'm riding in Missouri.
I hope that made sense.

28 year old man | San Francisco, CA, USA | Seeking men 25-35 within 50 miles
Feel free to hit me up. Tell me your story and...
Feel free to hit me up. Tell me your story and what you like about my following story, and then we go from there. I was six years old when I first faced the brawl between my parents. I remember myself growing up in a family where I could not fully express my thoughts and feelings without being judged prematurely, and where I had to live in a conformity in order to make my parents 'happy'. Involuntarily, I natured a robotic life of myself. Since my father was wealthy, he sent me to study overseas and to live with his long-distance friend when I was ten years old. From then on I'd never lived with my parents. I missed the chance to feel and to experience the love that most kids have from living in a healthy and a functional family. I grew up with emptiness inside, and I was unable to create a long-lasting positive ripple effect to my surroundings that most kids can do during my teenager period. So in general, I got this sort of idea that life was wrought with sadness, hopelessness, conformity, and that love was just a myth. Thankfully, throughout my adolescence period, things shifted for me. By gaining more education, trying new things, being dedicated to extracurricular activities that I like, and, most importantly, hearing people's successful stories, all these have inspired me. I was fortunate that I've got to interact with many different kinds of people who happily shared their achievements, who passionately wanted to use their talent to change the world to be a better place to live in, and who constantly reminded me that to live a happy life that is worth sharing. That's exciting. In addition, I also learned that the importance of never ever clip people's wings if you love them and you want them to be bold, courageous, vocal, and poised in the future. Today, just to bring you right up to the present, I still keep in touch with those people. Some of them have even become my long-lived friends. Besides that, every day I am still hungry of learning new things whether it comes from my experience or from that of others. The five components that I currently think are required to live a happy life are: vision, communication, freedom of expression, exploration, and a genuine smile. :) I am looking for a partner who I can spend the rest of my life with. Someone who believes that, together, we can create something genuine, exciting, humorous, and positive. Therefore by revealing a little background about me, hopefully it can help you decide whether we can make our beliefs become a reality. My ideal partner would be someone who is within plus or minus 5 years of my age. If yours are beyond that range, there is always a possibility that we can become platonic friends.

Death is such a common event in comic books these days yet the events that are about to happen have been getting a lot of attention and coverage in other non-comic book media. Someone is going to die and things will never be the same. We've heard it all before but, I have to admit, there's a tiny part that always wonders what if this death will actually stick?
The Fantastic Four has always been about a family of superheroes. That is what has separated them from other teams. There has been discussion over who might be the one to die. Each death could have lasting repercussions. With everyone talking about this issue and comic stores being allowed to sell the issue one day early, will you read/seek out the spoilers or will you avoid them and read the issue for yourself?
For me, I don't want to be spoiled. I will do my best to avoid them until I get my hands on a copy. Not everyone feels that way. There are those that enjoy reading spoilers. They want to know right away. It might ruin the surprise but they're okay with that and will still look forward to reading/seeing the actual event occur. Some people enjoy being the one to reveal the spoiler. There is a sort of empowerment in being the first one with the information and knowing something that no one else does.
What we know is someone is going to perish. Next month's issue #588 will be the final issue of Fantastic Four. We will then see FF #1 by Hickman and Epting in March. My theory is FF will last eleven issues with the twelfth reverting back to Fantastic Four just in time for issue #600.
I've mentioned before who I think will/should die. You can stay tuned for some extensive discussion on this topic to see what me, Sara and Norm think including our reaction to the issue on Wednesday.
If you are going to spoil it or want to be spoiled, we just ask that you do it discretely. If someone asks, send them a pm. If you wish to post it below in the comments, please use the spoiler tag. That also means do not quote the post with the spoiler tag or it will be revealed to everyone.
More importantly, I'm curious about whether or not people want to be spoiled on this or if they're looking forward to actually reading the issue. The spoiler is out there, hours before comic shops even have a chance to open. If you got spoiled, was it by choice and who was it that spoiled you?

Moodle is an online tool that allows educators to interact with students outside the classroom and manage a course from anywhere. In Moodle Essential Training for Teachers, Chris Mattia shows how this program works for teachers on three levels: disseminating information, creating a forum where ideas are exchanged, and assessing the progress of students. Chris shows how to build course materials with Moodle's HTML editor, post assignments, and save time by using Moodle's grade book to evaluate tests automatically and organize scores. Exercise files accompany the course.
We are partly through the semester and we have just learned that Dr. Walter Hatch from St. Mary's College of Maryland will be giving a live webcast about his work on Chemical Communication in Soft Corals that was conducted at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Since we'll be in lab at that time, the class is going to watch the webinar live. We have been in contact with Dr. Hatch and he has agreed to conduct a live chat with our class following the seminar. So we want to use Moodle to set up a live chat room so our students will be able to interact with and ask questions directly to Dr. Hatch. So to do this we'll simply scroll down to the week of April 13 to April 19. And we'll click on the dropdown menu for Add an activity and we'll select Chat from the options.
We will give the chat room a name, Live Chat with Dr. Hatch. And in the Introduction section we'll simply put 'At 5pm PST, Dr. Hatch will be available for a live chat with the class to discuss his work on Chemical Communication in Soft Corals.' So we'll go ahead and scroll down and we are going to set the next time the chat is going to be available and that's going to be on the 15th April 2009 at, remember this is in 24-hour time, and so we'll scroll down to 17:00 hours. We are not going to repeat any session so we are not going to publish any additional chat times but if we were setting up a chat, then we wanted to have live chats with the class on a repeating basis, we could do so here.
We do want to go ahead and Save past sessions, so that this live chat can be archived and be accessed later on. So we'll go ahead and say 365 days. And everyone can view past sessions, so we'll say Yes. This is an extra activity that we want to be able to provide this opportunity for our students to be able to go back and review the chat session. For Group mode, we'll go ahead and set to No groups, because we want everybody in the class to participate on this. We do want the Visibility to set to Show. We don't need an ID number. And we are not going to grade this assignment, so we'll go ahead and leave this as Uncategorized.
So we are going to go ahead and click the top option and you can see that it has logged us into the chat room and any responses that we go ahead and type up here would be appearing up in the top. And it's going to show our name and our picture that we added as part of an earlier movie. And the Auto Scrolling is set to on. So if wanted to go ahead and type in a quick note here, I'll just say Hello. And hit Enter or Return on my keyboard, it's going to just simply pop up that message up into the chat room. Now if we had additional people inside of the chat room right now, we would see their names listed here on the right hand side and we would also see any messages that they were chatting about, showing up in the middle of the chat session.
We will go ahead and close the chat window now. And we can go ahead and return back to the course. And that's all there is to setting up a chat. It's pretty straight forward, it's pretty easy and it's a great tool to use if you have the opportunity to bring in either a guest speaker or if for some reason you need to hold a class session online and you need to be able to chat back and forth live with your students. Another great use for the live chat is office hours. If you have regular office hours, you can go up and set a recurring chat session to be open during your office hours and then any students in your class, if they need to get additional help from you, they can actually log into Moodle, go into the chat room and have a live chat with you.
This is a really nice feature because you may find that a student is more likely to approach you for additional help through a mechanism like an online chat. And as they begin asking questions back and forth and interacting with you, you can prompt them to show up to your office and get more face-to-face time with the student and really figure out what is the issue that the student is having and work through it. So there are several different uses for the live chat. It's a great feature that's here in Moodle for you to enhance your course with.

Maybe one day!
My name is Hillary, and I am a high school math teacher and track coach. I played college basketball and coached it for nine years but decided it was time for a break. I truly miss the game and miss working with my girls but love having the time to travel and spend time with my family. I have 3 spoiled nephews that mean the world to me and an amazing family. My family is the most important thing in my life and I hope it is yours as well. My family farmed so I grew up know how to work. Please don't be intimidated that I have my own tools. :) I enjoy fixing up my house and I am not afraid to try and learn new things. I also enjoy running and recently signed up to run my first half marathon in September( We will see how this goes). I enjoy playing and watching sports, but as I get older watching is much easier on my body. I am an OSU cowboys fan and spend every game day at my little brothers store working and cheering on the cowboys. What I am looking for.....someone who is taller than me. Sorry guys but being taller than you really doesn't do it for me. I also want someone who enjoys playing and watching sports as much as I do. I have a good job and have established myself and hope you have too.

I like Dogs
I currently do not have any pets. I love dogs though! I had a Siberian Husky named Roxie but had to get rid of her when I sold my house. I am wanting to get a Malamute as soon as I put up a fence at my new house.
My favorite spots to go hang out are at friends houses. I am not into the bar scenes anymore. I would rather sit outside and hang with my friends. I love sports, so anywhere there is sports being played I enjoy being at- if I'm not playing!!!
Well ..lets see.. some of my favorite food are Chinese and of course a steak/Potato.. Who doesn't like steak??? I enjoy watching reality shows. My favorites are Mudcats, Bering Sea Gold, and Swamp People.
Free time..... well when I have free time I enjoy working in my garden and flower beds. I take a lot of pride in how my house looks. I also enjoy going to the lake and hanging out with my friends.
I really enjoy reading. I enjoy reading all kinds of books. I typically gravitate towards murder mystery books. I am a James Patterson fan!

It's once again time for "March Madness," the NCAA basketball tournament. The 65 teams have been selected, brackets announced—and office-betting pools printed out. Now comes the agony of whether to select a Cinderella
USA Today sports analyst Danny Sheridan estimates that $6 billion will be wagered illegally on the NCAA basketball tournament, making it the fourth largest sports betting event. A fair amount of that $6 billion will be bet on office pools—usually just a few bucks at a time.
While work pools are a lot of fun, they also can present some risk for employers. Anti-gambling groups often urge employers not to sanction office pools.
Should employers be concerned about office pools and the bigger issue of gambling in the workplace?

I really don't see what the big thing is about just announcing that Brandon could not be there. If you must, say there are legal issues and we can't say more. I think everyone could read between the lines and then they could get on with the rest of the show. It still doesn't excuse all the filler crap they foisted on us...Rudy, the tween, Malcolm's soap appearance and even Boston Rob...who I normally love. (Him at least I get since Phillip brought him up every five seconds and referred to what he learned from him.) But, to tell them they would be there, make her go get another dress and then just blow them off...really bad, really bad. I hope they learn from the very negative coverage they are getting for this and never cast another Hantz or anyone like him!

Missing Information 1.6 FullApr 1, 2011 Demo 104 comments
It is finally here! The long awaited 1.6 patch for Missing Information!
39 comments by Junk on Apr 1st, 2011
We are pleased and relieved to announce that Missing Information 1.6 is now available to the general public. The highlight of this release is of course the heavily overhauled Hyperborea chapter. We listened to your criticisms and what you will find in this mod is a rebalanced campaign with altered gameplay and a much better sampling of health and items, as well as numerous bug fixes. Yes, the crash bug in the last map is a thing of the past, and so is Odell's surreal descent down the stairs. Although admittedly the first year of this release's development was spent doing virtually nothing, we gained a few more team members and went into overdrive in the last year and three months with the determination to deliver something that felt as close to a polished Valve chapter as possible. We spent time coming up with a plausible story behind the Hyperborea, one that we feel is probably as close to Valve's original intentions as anyone is going to get, and we have done our best to ensure the gameplay and scripted sequences keep in line with this story. Many areas have received a visual overhaul as well and a sampling of new models and textures have been created to give the mod more of a distinct feel.
We hope you enjoy the updated Hyperborea. We feel confident in saying that it is the most polished example of fixed content from the Half Life 2 leak, but that is up to you guys to decide. We really cannot thank you fans enough for being patient in spite of our inability to keep true to our previous release dates. Download links can be found here.
It is finally here! The long awaited 1.6 patch for Missing Information!
First patch for our 1.5 release. This patch addresses several issues observed by our fans. Changelog can be found in description.
1.5 version of Missing Information. This is the first release since our revival. This is an updated version 1.4, running on the Orange Box engine.
I'm gonna admit, I didn't like Missing Information. I got bored with it after 2 minutes, and that's barely an exaggeration. Bugbait doesn't work because no Antlions spawn, Stalkers are overpowered, using the Physgun to weld things together is impossible, and there isn't enough to do.
No, we aren't. We're going to remake it to look like the original, only look less like crap.
Are you going to remake the Borealis to look like the one in episode 2? Because I don't know if that would fit the combine ship story line thing.
You're going to add Consul or the Elli Maxwell right?
Consul yes, Eli Maxwell, not sure. He'll either be Eli Vance or Eli Maxwell, but it's too early to decide at the moment.
Voicing Cpt. Vance and Eli Maxwell would be a huge bunch of work for the other hand.. Besides the role of Eli Maxwell is pretty much uncovered.
But of course he could just be the same Eli except for not being Alyx's father; Black Mesa survivor who's fond of building teleports. :P
Cpt. Vance would then be the rebel leader as well as Alyx's father.
Eli Maxwell would be the same as Eli Vance, the only difference is he has no relation to Alyx besides being a good friend.
Do you happen to have a high-res orb for your new logo? I'm getting a little tired of the old one cuz this new ones kicks serious *** B-)
I had one a while ago, I'll have to check with Isotope next time I get a chance.
Man, I am so looking forward to this mod! Will all the character's voices be done by fans? Or are there beta files with all the voices anyway? I played 1.5 and want more desperately!
We already have some amazing voice actors to do the voices for our characters, though we're always looking for more!
Highest Rated (18 agree) 10/10
This modification not only follows the original valve art style but is also keeping users up-to-date again. With moronic individuals posting 5's out of 10 because of their lack of interest or understanding of a project of this scale, this leaves fans with pretty much all the knowledge of the Half-Life universe to rate a 10/10 and give information to support. Half-Life 2 was to have a 50+ hour campaign and have over 20 weapons. Fun fact: The Borealis in fact was owned by a scientific research team…

Well, it is a great mod, there have really been some work in this, but there is also some big glitches that makes it... bad. The stalker-looking enemies is not well made, they doesn't look good, but a nice detail with the laser, but it damaging a little too much. And if you have passed a checkpoint/loading screen, you can't go back without it crashes (or at least it was what happened to me). Then your partner tries to walk down stairs, he just flyes around it, walking in walls and so on, undtil…

Hi Folks:
Recently I began seeing some errors upon startup in Event Viewer. It shows an Event ID of 1111 and here's what the error says:
.NET Runtime Optimization Service (clr_optimization_v2.0.50727_32) - Service reached limit of transient errors. and a second error shows .NET Runtime Optimization Service (clr_optimization_v2.0.50727_64) - Service reached limit of transient errors.
When I start both ngen services, they start and then stop almost immediately. Then the errors show again.
Now when you Google this stuff, mostly the solution offered is that you need to reinstall Windows Vista, because .NET v2x and 3x are integrated with the OS. However, I can't believe that there's not a way to repair .NET by grabbing files from install.wim off the installation DVD-ROM.
Besides, my system works great in most other respects.
I have attempted removing about four or five recent .NET v2x updates, and reinstalling them. I figured that might re-register something. But no go.

Performed by a trained tree whisperer, the soil analysis involves a thorough assessment of soil samples to determine nutrient deficiencies, pH levels, and organic matter lacking from the yard's daily diet.
