looks awesome , i see people are saying halo should go back to origins , i disagree , we played the old halos and they were amazing , but i really don't want to go back to the same thing , i want new stuff .
halo 4 had some new stuff but it still was pretty much the same with halos , i want more new stuff in Halo 5 , A great campaign with a rich story about forrunners and human , new weapons , more maps and armor abiltites with next gen graphics
Cant wait
only thing that annoys me why is a game made by MICROSOFT only on XBOX release it on PC FFS where you can play a FPS properly... as for the 60fps PC gamers have played with that for years if not higher. So sick of console exclusive games.
can't wait!!!!!
I thought it was new IP and my heart started pounding really fast ....until Master Chief came out " facepalm"
HALO V ROCKS!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!! Welcome back, Spartan Warrior!!!!!! ALL HAIL THE 'CHIEF'!!!!!! Cortana's coming back. Watch!!!!!!!
Why does a dude in a suit that is capable of being in space have to wear a cloak?
this looks pretty awesome its goner be hard for me not to get Xbox One, but as for not I wont be getting it as long as this 24hr online check in stands
If Halo 5 can just go back to its roots and be something along the lines of the original trilogy instead of Halo 4 derp fail CoD imitation, Halo 5 could very well be epic and deservedly so.
WELL YOU CAN'T JUST CALL IT HALO GEEZ. I still have a copy of "Halo" sitting on my shelf. It's a pretty cool game, worth checking out if you haven't played it.
For those going full derp about him not needing the cloak because the suit covers him from sand. What about covering the suit from sand? Anyone in the military who's deployed in a desert will tell you sand will destroy your hardware, even if it's been designed to resist it.
Well ok then.......
343 had already previous released that it was going to make a new halo trilogy aka halo 4 5 6
haha, that trailer was like really fucking stupid, but really epic at the same time :p no doubt ill buy the game but the whole huge cloak over the suit of armor looked weird. cant really get to excited because it was obvious that this was coming, nonetheless im sure itll be great :)
whens the destiny gameplay trailer on?
As a new, and hardcore Halo fan who's read all the books, there are a few issues.
First of all, all MJONIR armor suits have polarized visors. He wouldn't need to put his hand in front of his face.
Second, the suit provides more than enough cover against the sand.
Third, the armor is sealed, meaning that if there's a mild crack or gap, (which there was) the whole suit is useless against zero-gee or alien planets.
I know this is only a trailer...but still....
In all seriousness, why's he wearing a cloak over that suit? Does it not offer protection against sand? o.O
well seems like it would be great till you can't play it offline someone needs to start a petition against xbox
The Jawwa game ive always been waiting for
OHHHH WOW 60 FPS. This is truly a new generation...(sarcasm lv over 9000)
Xbox One here I come!
Halo Baby :)
It looked so cool and then you saw Master Chief and you're like, "awww".
As if anyone didn't expect this.
a hot gamer milf? WOOOOOW!
this is going to be awesome¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
@Quad_Hund Simple. No sand in the cracks.
@steelmouth I think It was already taken out on day two after the anouncement xD
@omar_q Exactly, Halo needs to go back to its roots, not all this ordnance and sprint junk.
@offspring94 No. The one you have is called Halo: Combat Evolved.
Truthfully I think they simply haven't figured out a good name so kept just "Halo" as a placeholder.
@ShimmeringSword What you said has just baffled the hell out of me. Your trying to say that a suit made by some insane Forerunner species that made rings that could wipe out all life couldn't foresee the little problem of sand. The shield can withstand everything from artillery and sniper fire to plasma and energy sword but O NO watch out for the big band sand that's gonna come get you. Get with the time period. This game takes place in the future with which I am sure they have probably come up with a solution to there sand problem. And by the way does a shield mean absolutely nothing to you. Cause if I recall you have one in every single halo game. Even ODST which you aren't even a Spartan. They gave him the cloak for the sole purpose of ANTICIPATION. You make a trailer and just drop master chiefs face on it people aren't gonna care too much. Make a mysterious character who you think is probably 117 but not show his face till the end of the trailer is called MARKETING. They do it with every fucking game so stop trying to provide real life answers to games in which don't have to follow and set of guidelines except those set by the creators of the game itself. If you don't like what I have to say TOO BAD. Take you idiocracy somewhere else.
The cloak was there for a reason. -.-
When E3 airs on television.
1) He wanted to look at Cortana's microchip before that mess.
2) He must be wearing the cloak for a reason OTHER than sand.
3) It looks as if John didn't care. Remember, depression?
@Forgetfulhearer to hide his identity
Just because your device is laggy, doesn't make the video laggy.
I'm watching it on HD and it's clear and smooth.
@JazzFromHell Her head is gigantic compared to her body, can't unsee that.
I'm glad Master Chief is final facing his arch-nemesis: sand in his cracks.
@sbriney07 No way, that was a marketing move? Damn!
Of course it is, but if kids want to ignore that and get technical, I'll help educate them. You wanted to get technical too, so here we go. When a Mjolnir suit is in vacuum it has a limited air supply, but when it's in an atmosphere is has no such issue, meaning that nice energy shield is letting air through. I could say more but I think you can handle the rest.
Also, "idiocracy" is a movie title, not a word. Get schooled bro.
Whoops, I thought he said something else. Never mind.
@ShimmeringSword @vicarioswolf88 Jeez, its only a game, none of it is real. But sand does degrade all hardware over time, regardless of how advanced these alien races are.
@VicariousWolf88 If he wants to insist on using the word idiocracy, he can at least use it for the definition people have given it. The word he really wanted to use was idiocy, no need to spice it up any further to a fault. People already have enough trouble understanding erosion.
@ShimmeringSword @sbriney07 I normally dont comment but when I read your so called "technical" reply I was amazed ..... but yes what you said about his armor and atmospheric pressure may be true but that still doesnt answer if sand hurts his armor. yes I understand military equipment today can get damaged to exposure to sand,water and mud. but halo is set in the far future (plus its a game) so who knows what advancements they made and I also understand you wanna educate these young kids out there....
ALSO "idiocracy" is a word as well as a movie title (pretty good movie actually)

Sea urchins are a group of marine invertebrates that have been around for a very long time.
Eucidaris metularia is a representative of the most primitive lineage, one that has survived with little change for the last 150 million years.
Species of Eucidaris are distinguished on colouring of their spines and test (plates) this species having characteristically strongly banded spines.
Eucidaris metularia © A Smith
Eucidaris metularia has a stout covering of spines used for protection and locomotion. Strong muscles at the base of the spines are protected by a palisade of small, flattened secondary spines.
The skeleton of plates (test) beneath the spines shows the characteristic pentaradial symmetry, common to all members of this group, especially clearly.
Tests are up to 30mm in diameter although usually smaller.
Find out more about the environment these sea urchins inhabit and where in the world they live.

In 1995, the FBI created a Technical Working Group on Friction Ridge Analysis, Study, and Technology (TWGFAST). The group was renamed as a Scientific Working Group (SWGFAST) in 1998 and has continued to provide guidelines on finger print evidence, with funding from the FBI. Additionally, a National Institute of Justice grant has supported the development of a forthcoming SWGFAST reference manual.
The SWGFAST bylaws allow for up to 40 members and require biannual meetings. Members have included agency employees from federal, state, local, and foreign bodies and from the academic and private sectors. Proposed guidelines are released to the community for comment after receiving an affirmative vote by two-thirds of the SWGFAST members present at a meeting. A draft document is adopted following community review and feedback, if two-thirds of the members present at a meeting again vote in favor of such action. Accepted guidelines are reconsidered five years after adoption. Existing SWGFAST guidelines address automation training, digital imaging, friction ridge analysis for latent print examination, latent print proficiency testing, professional conduct, minimum qualifications and competency for latent print trainees, quality assurance, interpretation and conclusions, and validation research.f
Like all other SWG documents, SWGFAST's guidelines have no inherent authority or force of law. However, in collaboration with academic institutions, law enforcement agencies, and industry, SWGFAST has participated in the development of a standard data format for the Interchange of Finger print, Facial, & Scar Mark and Tattoo Information, through the American National Standard for Information Systems-NIST (ANSI-NIST-ITL 1-2007). Additionally, crime laboratories have purportedly relied on SWGFAST guidelines in order to meet the ASCLD/LAB accreditation Standards.g

Is It Even Worth It?

Ate too much. Seem to do ok while at work, then get home and pig out on high fat, salty, and sweet stuff. Not working out. No energy, no motivation. Feeling down and wondering if it is even worth it. I am going to be 40 in April. My stomach is disgusting, had surgery in September to remove ovarian cysts, need another surgery for a hernia, so I have the mindset of "why bother". My breasts are the cliche of fried eggs nailed to a wall, and no amount of exercise will fix that, and I can't afford surgery.
My face keeps breaking out, even though my dr has had me on Doxycyclene for a year. My ob/gyn said perhaps the surgery for the cysts would help since it is hormonal, but it has been 2 months since the surgery and not only am I still spotting between periods (the whole reason I went to the ob/gyn in the first place and discovered I had cysts), but my face isn't any clearer. If anything, it is actually a bit worse.
So basically I feel depressed, unmotivated, and disgusting. I remember how awesome I felt when I was working out each day and eating so carefully, and I STILL can't bring myself to actually do anything about it. Now I feel bloated, fat, greasy, and exhausted. But with all the other crap that's wrong with my body I have to wonder...is it even worth it?

Jcraft6, you are right. I need to take baby steps right now, especially so close to the holidays. For me, the food is the toughest to change, because I simply LOVE to eat and snack. Perhaps I can start on just cutting down on the "bad" foods I eat and start incorporating more "good" foods. Grapes instead of popcorn. Super pasta with veggies instead of spaghettios with meatballs. Because tonight my dinner was heavily buttered popcorn and spaghettios. In that order.
Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one going through this. It has been tough feeling like such a loser. I feel like a quitter. I KNOW I can do this, I started at 218 pounds and lost 70 pounds all by myself just by working out and eating right! But for 2 years now I have been stuck fluctuating between 145 and 160 cause I just don't have the dedication I had at first.
Report Inappropriate Comment
I completely understand. I just went through that same feeling. You know what you need to do but to make yourself do it is next to impossible. So what I did was step back and start over as if I didn't know anything. I picked one thing to change and worked on that. I picked drinking water. Then as I was able to do that I picked something else. I started with the food part because for me that is the easiest to change. When the food was going ok (note I said ok not great) I tried to be more active. I didn't really do cardio for a while I just tried to be busy. Then I found as I got busy cleaning my house picking things up I felt better about myself. Now I'm back on track but it took almost a month. Hang in there don't give up. just take baby steps. You can do it and you're worth it.
Report Inappropriate Comment
Thanks, Knyagenya. Usually I am a lot more optimistic than this, but lately I just am so down. I'm so close to tears all the time. I have to get back to eating right and working out, I felt so much better when I was doing it.

It's Valentine's Day, a time to wear your heart on your sleeve and tell that special someone that you care.

The Top 29 British Musical Acts That Got Snubbed During The 2012 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony
The 2012 Summer Olympics officially kicked off with an opening ceremony conceived by the Academy Award winning British film director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire,
Trainspotting, 28 Days Later). One of the sections of tonight's broadcast bore the unusual name Frankie And June Say Thanks Tim, a love story that contained what NBC's Matt Lauer described as "a tribute to the best British musical acts of the last 40 years." Well, although Boyle and his musical supervisors managed to include a decent selection of bands that could be considered canon-worthy, we'd like to call your attention to this (quite undefinitive!) list of 29 highly respected bands that got royally snubbed (in alpha order*):
Black Sabbath
Culture Club
The Cure
Def Leppard
Depeche Mode
Dire Straits
Duran Duran
Elton John (!!!)

Fine Wine: 15 Men in Music Who've Aged Remarkably Well
As the Red Hot Chili Peppers release their tenth studio album this week, we can't help but
daydream ruminate about how much of a sex symbol frontman Anthony Kiedis was—who could forget the sock?!—and still is. Time has been kind to Mr. Suck My Kiss, and he is definitely not alone in that regard; there's an entire legion of men in music whose good looks and sex appeal have fermented in the manner of a perfectly-mature wine.
Whether you grew up with one of their faces taped to your Trapper Keeper or you're old enough to be their mom, there's a hunk on this list for you. From rock to hip hop, songwriters to bass players, we've got Arena Gods, men who are Good With Their Hands, Smooth Operators, International Flavors, and like the Chili Peppers' singer, Spicy Sex Symbols. Keeping it simple, we're celebrating the 45 to 70-year-old vintages by exhibiting their physical evolution through their respective careers. You'll be taking in images from when they got their start, their "middle years," and how they look in the present. Take a moment to step into the wine cellar and relish in each man's beauty of the past and, at the end,?toast to their continued maturing in the future by weighing in on who you think has aged best. Apologies in advance for the ladyboners!
The Police: Disbanding, Again?
The Police's reunion tour may have the same lifespan as a common housefly. On day two of the '80s supergroup's reunion tour, drummer Stewart Copeland — whose bust-ups with Sting are the stuff of rock mythology — has posted quite the complaint on his blog, titled "OUR FIRST DISASTER GIG!" Within the 700-word post, Copeland bemoans the band's poor timing, calls the lute-wielding Sting a "petulant pansy" and labels updated versions of their hits "ubeLIEVably lame" [sic].
In other news, the band's planning on participating in the resurrection of MTV Unplugged (if they make it) — a veritable petri dish for creativity that's featured stunning acoustic performances by Jay-Z and Nirvana. Other acts confirmed for show include Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige and John Mayer.
Rock Round-Up: Tyler Takin' Off?
Can't imagine Aerosmith without its lead mouth. Say it ain't so, gossip peeps (Joe Perry's no vocalist).
This kid's just 30 years too late to kick off a b-boy revolution. But his spinnin' and poppin' ain't bad.
Call the Cops: The Police have begun their summer rampage.
TV Today, Tour Tomorrow
C'mon. You just knew the fractious members of the Police weren?t reuniting so they could merely put a jazz-tinted spin on ?Roxanne? at the Grammys bash last night. There had to be some kind of commerce scheduled for the warmer months. Well, put on the green light: Billboard has announced that Sting will trade the lute for the loot in an extended string of live shows with the trio; the band is slated for a headlining gig at Bonnaroo, and following in the footsteps of Bruce Springsteen, will set up shop in Boston?s Fenway Park. Fans will want to prep by picking up that ?Walking On the Moon? ring-tone here.

ZAGREB, Croatia 12/6/11 (PennWell) -- The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is giving Hrvatska Elektroprivreda (HEP) a loan worth US$166 million for construction of the Ombla hydropower plant.
The 68-MW hydroelectric facility will not only improve Croatia's energy security, it also will increase the supply of potable water to the city of Dubrovnik, EBRD says.
The bank will work closely with HEP to ensure that the project complies with Croatian environmental standards and other directives established by the European Union. The proceeds of the EBRD loan will not be disbursed until HEP has completed a satisfactory study and biodiversity management plan.
"While recognizing the technical and environmental challenges the project entails, we also believe the project is important to further develop Croatia's renewable energy generation capacity," says EBRD Director for Power and Energy Utilities Nandita Parshad. "We are committed to ensuring the project is implemented in line with our agreed Environmental and Social Action Plan."
The loan is structured under the EBRD's A/B loan scheme and stipulates that financing to HEB includes US$108 million for the bank's account, with the remaining $58 million to be syndicated to commercial banks.
HEP took bids for the 130-meter-tall, run-of-river project in June 2011.
"We are sure that this project has the potential of a significant economic contribution," said Leo Begovic, President of HEP's Management Board.

That's nice but you misunderstood me. I meant there is not suffecient motive to invent HIV. There are far better ways for a scientist to spend his energy than inventing HIV. That is the kind of motive that conspiracy theorists like to ignore. For example if I was a prominent microbiologist and I wanted to rip off the world I would create a fake cure for the common cold or better yet a drug that puts Herpes into remission. Both would make more money than fake HIV cures. That is a Motive.
Good comment. Sorry I misunderstood.
However...Gallo has been hell bent on getting a Nobel-it is the only award that has eluded him. He has 2 Laskers among others.
He has tried the same thing before. He stole a leukemia virus from the Japanes in the mid 70"s that was to carry him to the land of Nobel-but that didn't work out. More on that and other Gallo shenanigans later.
However-Gallo did apply for and recieve a patent for the HIV antibody test on the same day that he had his infamous press conference, announcing to the world that the cause of AIDS was discovered in his lab.
He has made millions from this patent. That would be a pretty good motive.
Still does not make sense to test for antibodies. An antibody test, even if repeated a million times consecutively and found pos each time is not proof of a viral infection.
They don't test for the virus because quite simply, they can't find it.
In all honesty, I do believe that the powers that be are distancing themselves from the HIV as sole cause of AIDS hypothesis. Even the test kit manufactures are changing the wording on their kits to phrases like-HIV is thought to be a retrovirus that causes AIDS-, things like that.
The reason for this is class action lawsuits. There are some lawsuits in the making such as Kim Obannon of Kansas. She was diagnosed HIV pos in 1992 and told that she had 5-7 years to live. She got off of all the antivirals and has never had AIDS or AIDS related infections. She is suing over deceptive trade practices, and she has a helluva case. These test kits are not approved for diagnosing someone as HIV positive. They are only approved for blood screening and as an aid in diagnosing a peson as having HIV. They are not to be used on an asymptomatic person as a sole diagnostic tool. But docs do this all the time.
I think it is safe to say that in the near future -because of these lawsuits-it probably will not be possible for an asymptomatic person to get tested. These lawsuits are going to rock the HIV/AIDS world.
And , if a decent attorney gets ahold of some of the paperwork and gov't documents from the original FDA clinical trial with AZT, well some heads are going to roll. Later today I will post some of that info...these trials were the sloppiest in the history of the FDA. The trials were unblinded early on and stopped about 8 or 10 weeks short of the mandatory 26 weeks. The trial center in Boston was beyond fradulent.
And the CDC has readjusted the recommended CD-4 levels for retroviral treatment. It used to be a level of 500 cd-4's. Now it is 350.
And the dosage of AZT and other drugs has decreased dramatically over the years.
In the 80's a patient was given 1500mg/day of AZT with no "holidays". Now they are given 500mg/day with long holidays of no drugs.
As each adjustment occurs, the AIDS patients live longer

Remember Me
"Even the sad songs," he says, "have a sort of romantic hope in them."
None of it is out of character for a man who's blazing a path for himself in a business where a passable road is hard to come by. Justin Jones' career began with the musical gifts he inherited from his parents growing up in Rawley Springs, Va. His mother was a singer and actress, and his stepfather was leader of the acclaimed local blues band Tough Luck. By 14, Jones was writing his own songs on acoustic guitar. After a few years playing for drunks in dive bars of North Carolina, Jones migrated to Washington, D.C., in 2002, where he began playing small clubs with just a guitar and a harmonica. At one such show, he dazzled local producer Larry Packer, who invited Jones to record at his studio for free because he so impressed with the songs. Jones released "Blue Dreams," the result of that one-day, stripped-down session, in 2004. Its first pressing was financed by $1,000 from good friend Jackie Grimmer, who, like Larry Packer, also firmly believed in Jones' talent.
As Jones played around Washington and other East Coast cities on the I-95 circuit, he graduated to bigger and bigger venues, and his following grew. Listeners who heard Jones' music were touched on a deeper level. Jones tells of one very special moment in 2005 when a young woman approached him after a show to tell him about a phone call she'd just made after hearing him sing "You Ain't Around," a song about his deceased stepfather. Through tears, she explained she hadn't spoken to her own father in six years but decided to break the silence that night because she'd been so moved by Jones' song. It's Jones' favorite story from his 15 years in music and the sort of revelation that keeps him going.
"Anytime you connect emotionally with someone through a song, that's what it's all about," he says. "That's the thing that's greatest about music. "
As Jones became more known in Washington music circles, he hooked up with other talented musicians and by 2006 eventually had enough cohorts to field a full band, complete with a drums, bass, a horn section, keyboards, a female vocalist, and occasionally banjo. Justin Jones & the Driving Rain was fully introduced through his 2006 album, "Love Versus Heroin." The project increased Jones' fan base exponentially and enabled the frontman to stretch out in new ways musically. A follow-up in 2008, "… And I Am the Song of the Drunkards," cemented the band's reputation. Critics were wowed, and the band was nominated for two Washington Area Music Awards.
While most of Jones' style is rooted in traditional country, some songs veer toward folk, bluegrass, rock, and hillbilly soul. Influences range from George Jones and Townes Van Zandt to Van Morrison and D'Angelo. Critics are eager to liken him to contemporaries like Ryan Adams, Jakob Dylan, and early Wilco.
Jones has yet another album in the works and is ready to make this one with a major producer. New ideas for lyrics and melodies are constantly swirling around in his head. His songwriting has matured as his life has moved more solidly into adulthood as he navigates the challenges of supporting his wife and daughter as a professional musician. Despite the ups and downs of a musical career, Jones still hangs on to that romantic hope.

Houma woman injured in wreck
HOUMA -- A man who ran a red light smacked into a car and seriously injured the woman who was driving it, authorities said.
Vickie White, 50, sustained critical injuries in the crash, which occurred about 8:30 p.m. on Tunnel Boulevard at its intersection with St. Charles Street, said State Police Troop C spokesman Matt Trahan.
White had the green light was attempting to turn left from St. Charles Street onto Tunnel Boulevard when Mitchell R. Saam, 53, also from Houma ran the light and smacked his 1996 Ford Explorer into the driver's side of White's 2001 Honda, he said.
White was taken to Terrebonne General, where she remained in stable condition this morning.
Saam received injuries that police describe as minor and was also taken to Terrebonne General. He is charged with third-offense DWI and running a red light.
He was taken to the Terrebonne Parish jail, where he remained this morning in lieu of $5,000 bond.
Trahan said results of blood tests, required by state law in all serious car crashes, are pending and the wreck remains under investigation.

A method of continuously casting a molten metal in a casting means to obtain a solidified cast bar at a hot-forming temperature, passing the cast metal at a hot-forming temperature from the casting means to a hot-forming means, and hot forming the cast bar into a wrought product by a two-stage reduction of its cross-sectional area while it is still at a hot-forming temperature, including, in the first stage, the step of forming a shell of finely distributed recrystallized grains in the surface layers of the cast bar by a selected small amount of deformation of the cast bar in its as-cast condition prior to the second stage in which substantial reduction of its cross-sectional area forms the wrought product. The shell of fine grains formed on the cast bar during the first stage of deformation permits substantial reduction of the cross-sectional area of the cast bar during the second stage of deformation without the cast bar cracking, even when the cast bar has a high impurity content.
1. A method for hot rolling, directly inline with a continuous caster, a continuous bar of high impurity copper without cracking said bar during heavy reduction from the predominately as cast condition, comprising:
(a) providing as a starting material, a molten flow of high impurity copper; then
(b) continuously casting said molten flow into a continuous bar and directing the advancing solidified bar to an inline continuous hot rolling mill, said bar being in the as cast condition and at a hot-forming temperature; then
(c) conditioning said bar immediately precedent to subjecting said bar to heavy reduction in said rolling mill, said conditioning being characterized in that said bar is preliminarily subjected to light reduction sufficient to cause recrystallization in a relatively thin surface shell within said bar but otherwise leaving said bar in a predominately as cast condition; and then
(d) subjecting said bar to heavy reduction in at least the first roll stand following conditioning, said heavy reduction being sufficient to cause substantially complete recrystallization throughout the entire cross-section of said bar after conditioning.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said high impurity copper contains at least about 50 ppm impurities.
3. The method of claim 2 wherein said impurities are in the range of about 50 to 200 ppm of one or more of the impurities lead, bismuth, iron, and antimony.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein the cross-sectional area of said surface shell resulting from step (c) constitutes about 10% of the cross-sectional area of said bar.
5. The method of claim 1, 2, 3, or 4 wherein the cumulative reduction of the bar cross-section during said conditioning is in the range of about 5 to 20%.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein said conditioning further comprises a first reduction of about 7% along a first axis of compression and a second reduction of about 7% along a second axis of compression being 90� removed from said first axis.
7. The method of claim 5 wherein said heavy reduction of step (d) is at least about 40%.
The present invention relates to the hot forming of metals, and more particularly relates to the continuous casting and hot forming of the as-cast bars of certain impure metals prone to crack during hot-rolling.
It is well known that many metals, such as copper, may be continuously cast, either in stationary vertical molds or in a rotating casting wheel, to obtain a cast bar which is then immediately hot formed, while in a substantially as-cast condition, by passing the cast bar exiting the mold to and through the roll stands of a rolling mill while the cast bar is still at a hot-forming temperature. It is also well known that the as-cast structure of the metal bar is such that cracking of the cast bar during hot forming may be a problem if the cast bar is required to be directly hot formed into a semi-finished product, such as redraw rod, during which the initially large cross-sectional area of the cast bar is substantially reduced by a plurality of deformations along different axes to provide a much smaller cross-sectional area in the product.
While this problem could be avoided by casting a cast bar having an initially small cross-sectional area which need not be substantially reduced to provide the desired cross-sectional area of the final product, this approach is not commercially practical since high casting outputs, and therefore low costs, can be readily achieved only with cast bars having large cross-sectional areas which are rapidly reduced to the smaller cross-sectional areas of the products, such as 3/8" diameter rod for drawing into wire, by a minimum number of severe deformations. Thus, the problem of a cast bar cracking during hot forming must be solved within the commercial context of cast bars having initially large cross-sectional areas which are then hot formed into products having small cross-sectional areas by a series of reductions which often are substantial enough to cause cracking of the cast bar under certain conditions.
This problem has been overcome in the prior art for relatively pure electrolytically-refined copper having low impurity levels such as 3-10 ppm lead, 1 ppm bismuth, and 1 ppm antimony. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,317,994, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,672,430 disclose that this cracking problem can be overcome by conditioning such relatively pure copper cast bar by initial large reductions (e.g. 36%) of the cross-sectional area in the initial roll stands sufficient to substantially destroy the as-cast structure of the cast bar. The additional reductions along different axes of deformation, which would cause cracking of the cast bar but for the initial destruction of the as-cast structure of the cast bar, may then safely be performed. This conditioning of the cast bar not only prevents cracking of the cast bar during hot forming but also has the advantage of accomplishing a large reduction in the cross-sectional area of the cast bar while its hot-forming temperature is such as to minimize the power required for the reduction.
The prior art has not, however, provided a solution to the cracking problem described above for metals, such as fire-refined copper, containing a high degree of impurities. This is because the large amount of impurities in the grain boundaries of the as-cast structure cause the cast bar to crack when an attempt is made to substantially destroy the as-cast structure with the same large initial reduction of the cross-sectional area of the cast bar that is known to be effective with low impurity metals. Moreover, the greater the percentage of impurities in the cast bar, the more likely it is that cracks will occur during hot forming.
Thus, although there is no requirement for high-purity electrolytically-refined copper (except for specialized uses such as magnet wire) it has heretofore been necessary to use such highly refined copper in order to be able to use and obtain the many advantages of tandem continuous casting and hot-forming apparatus. As a result, a substantial refining cost is added to the price of many final copper products even though high purity is not required to meet conductivity or other specifications. For example, fire-refined copper wire having a moderately high degree of impurities can meet the IACS conductivity standard for household electrical wiring and can be produced most economically if the rod to be drawn into such wire can be produced using known continuous casting and hot-forming apparatus.
The present invention solves the above-described cracking problem of the prior art by providing a method of continuously casting and hot forming both low and high impurity metal without substantial cracking of the cast bar occurring during the hot rolling process. Generally described, the invention provides, in a method of continuously casting molten metal to obtain a cast bar with a relatively large cross-sectional area, and hot forming the cast bar at a hot-forming temperature into a product having a relatively small cross-sectional area by a substantial reduction of the cross-sectional area of the cast bar which would be such that the as-cast structure of the cast bar would be expected to cause the cast bar to crack, the additional step of first forming a shell of finely distributed recrystallized grains at least in the surface layers of the cast bar prior to later substantial reduction of the cross-sectional area of the cast bar, said shell being formed by relatively slight deformations of the cast bar while at a hot-forming temperature.
The slight deformations are of magnitude (preferably 5 to 20%) which will not cause the cast bar to crack, but which in combination with the hot-forming temperature of the cast bar will cause the cast bar to have a shell of finely distributed recrystallized grains of a thickness sufficient (about 10% of total area) to prevent cracking of the cast bar (even when having moderately high impurities) during the subsequent substantial deformations. The surface shell of fine grains provided by the invention allows substantial reduction of the cross-sectional area of the bar in a subsequent pass, even in excess of 40%, without cracking occurring and even though the cast bar has a relatively high amount of impurities.
For example, the present invention allows a copper cast bar having a cross-sectional area of 5 square inches, or more, and containing as much as 50-200 ppm of impurities, such as lead, bismuth, iron and antimony, to be continuously hot formed into wrought copper rod having a cross-section area of 1/2 square inch, or less, without cracking.
Furthermore, the invention has wide general utility since it can also be used with certain over relatively impure metals as an alternative to the solution to the problem of cracking described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,317,994, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,672,430.
Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved method of continuously casting a molten metal to obtain a cast bar and continuously hot forming the cast bar into a product having a cross-sectional area substantially less than that of the cast bar without cracking of the cast bar occurring during hot forming.
It is further object of the present invention to provide a method of continuously casting and hot-forming metal containing a relatively high percentage of impurities without using specially shaped reduction rolls in the hot-rolling mill or other complex rolling procedures.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method whereby a cast bar may be efficiently hot-formed using fewer roll stands following conditioning of the cast metal by first forming a shell of finely distributed recrystallized grains at the surface of the cast metal, then hot rolling the modified structure by successive heavy deformations.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a method for continuously casting and hot-forming fire-refined copper having in excess of 50 ppm impurities.
Further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following specification when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of casting and forming apparatus for practicing the method of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross-section of a cast bar in substantially an as-cast condition (in this case with columnar grains).
FIG. 3 is a cross-section of the cast bar shown in FIG. 2 following one slight reduction of the cross-section.
FIG. 4 is a cross-section of the cast bar shown in FIG. 2 following two perpendicular slight compressions to form a complete shell of finely distributed grains near the surface of the bar.
FIG. 5 is a cross-section of the cast bar shown in FIG. 2 following two slight compressions and one severe hot-forming compression.
Referring now to the drawing, in which like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views, FIG. 1 schematically depicts an apparatus for practicing the method of the present invention. The continuous casting and hot-forming system (10) includes a casting machine (12) which includes a casting wheel (14) having a peripheral groove therein, a flexible band (16) carried by a plurality of guide wheels (17) which bias the flexible band (16) against the casting wheel (14) for a portion of the circumference of the casting wheel (14) to cover the peripheral groove and form a mold between the band (16) and the casting wheel (14). As molten metal is poured into the mold through the pouring spout (19), the casting wheel (14) is rotated and the band (16) moves with the casting wheel (14) to form a moving mold. A cooling system (not shown) within the casting machine (12) causes the molten metal to solidify in the mold and to exit the casting wheel (14) as a solid cast bar (20).
From the casting machine (12), the cast bar (20) passes through a conditioning means (21), which includes roll stands (22) and (23). The conditioning roll stands (22) and (23) lightly compress the bar which recrystallizes in the area compressed to form a shell of finely distributed grain structure at the surface of the bar (20). After conditioning, the bar (20) is passed through a conventional rolling mill (24), which includes a plurality of roll stands (25), (26), (27) and (28). The roll stands of the rolling mill (24) provide the primary hot forming of the cast bar by compressing the conditioned bar sequentially until the bar is reduced to a desired cross-sectional size and shape.
The grain structure of the cast bar (20) as it exits from the casting machine (12) is shown in FIG. 2. The molten metal solidifies in the casting machine in a fashion that can be columnar, or equiaxed, or both, depending on the cooling rate. This as-cast structure can be characterized by large grains (30) extending radially from the surfaces of the bar (if columnar) and separated from each other by grain boundaries (31). Most of the impurities present in the cast bar are located along the grain and dendrite boundaries (31). If the molten copper poured through the spout (19) into the casting wheel (14) were only fire-refined, and not electrolytically-refined, and the cast bar (20) was passed immediately to the rolling mill (24) without passing through the conditioning means (21), the impurities along the boundaries (31) of the cast bar (20) would cause the cast bar to crack at the boundaries upon deformation by the roll stands of the rolling mill (24) when following the teachings of the prior art as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,317,994.
The conditioning means (21) of the present invention prevents such cracking by providing a sequence of preliminary light compressions as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, wherein the result of a compression is shown and the previous shape of the cast bar is shown in broken lines. FIG. 3 shows the result of a 7% reduction provided by the roll stand (22) along a horizontal axis of compression (33). The columnar and/or equiaxed as-cast grain structure of the cast metal has been recrystallized into a layer of equiaxed grains (35) covering a portion of the surface of the cast bar (20). The interior of the bar may still have an as-cast structure.
In FIG. 4 the bar (20) has been subjected to a second 7% reduction by the roll stand (23) along a vertical axis of compression (33) perpendicular to the axis of compression of roll stand (22). The volume of recrystallized finely distributed grains (35) now forms a shell (36) around the entire surface of the bar (20), although the interior of the bar retains some as-cast structure.
It will be understood that the formation of the shell may be accomplished by a conditioning means comprising any number of roll stands, preferably at least two, or any other type of forming tools, such as extrusion dies, multiple forging hammers, etc., so long as the preliminary light deformation of the metal results in a shell of recrystallized grains covering substantially the entire surface of the bar, or at least the areas subject to cracking when subject to the first heavy reduction.
The individual slight compressions should be between 5-20% reduction for example about 7% to 10%, so as not to crack the bar during conditioning. The total deformation provided by the conditioning means (21) must provide a shell (36) of sufficient depth (at least about 10%) to prevent cracking of the bar during subsequent severe deformation of the bar when passing through the roll stands (25-28) of the rolling mill (24).
When the shape of the bar in its as-cast condition includes prominent corners such as those of the bar shown in FIG. 2, the shape of the compressing surfaces in the roll stands (22) and (23) may be designed to avoid excessive compression of the corner areas as compared to the other surfaces of the cast bar, so that cracking will not result as the corners during conditioning.
FIG. 5 shows a cross-section of the cast bar (20) following a substantial reduction of the cross-sectional area by the first roll stand (25) of the rolling mill (24). The remaining as-cast structure in the interior of the bar (20) has been recrystallized to form finely distributed equiaxed grains (35).
When a shell (36) has been formed on the surface of the bar (20), a high reduction may be taken at the first roll stand (25) of the rolling mill (24). It has been found that such initial hot-forming compression may be in excess of 40% following conditioning according to the present invention. The ability to use very high reductions during subsequent hot-forming means that the desired final cross-sectional size and shape may be reached using a rolling mill having a few roll stands. Thus, even though a conditioning means according to the present invention requires one or two roll stands, the total amount and therefore cost of the conditioning and hot-forming apparatus may be reduced.
The method of the present invention allows continuous casting and rolling of high impurity metals, such as fire-refined copper generally including from 50 to 200 ppm lead, bismuth, iron and antimony without cracking the bar. Furthermore, cracking is prevented throughout the hot-forming temperature range of the metal. In addition, the method of the present invention is effective for processing electrolytically-refined copper as well. Thus, the same casting and hot-forming apparatus may be used to produce metals of varying purity depending on the standards which must be met for a particular product. It is not longer necessary to add the cost of additional refining to the cost of the final product when a highly pure product is not specifically required.
If it is desired to reduce even further the possibility of cracking, elliptically shaped rolling channels may be provided for all of the roll stands (22), (23), and (25-28) in order to provide optimal tangetial velocities of the rolls in the roll stands with respect to the cast metal, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,317,994. However, such measures are usually not needed to avoid cracking if the present invention is practiced as described herein on metals having impurity levels as described above.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the roll stands of the conditioning means (21) may be either a separate component of the system or may be constructed as an integral part of a rolling mill.
While this invention has been described in detail with particular reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention as described herein before and as defined in the appended claims.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 2008 Nearly 100 Armed Forces Retirement Home residents attending a Navy birthday observance were lauded as heroes during a ceremony yesterday that underscored what makes the home stand apart from – and as a new accreditation shows, above – most other retirement facilities.
"Thank you for all you have done to preserve our freedoms, and for doing it with honor, courage and commitment," Navy Capt. Timothy R. Fox, commander of Navy District Washington Reserve Component Command, told the group, mostly Navy retirees and veterans. "Thank you for being our heroes."
Pasquale Giudice, a retired Navy senior chief petty officer who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, rolled his wheelchair to a front-row spot in the auditorium to take part in the commemoration. A few rows back sat retired Chief Petty Officer Hugh Wingo, whose ship delivered Lt. Col. James Doolittle and his crew within range of Tokyo so they could launch the Doolittle Raid in 1942.
They joined with the other residents, singing the Navy song and clapping as 91-year-old Marian Ritchie, the second-oldest Navy veteran at the home, accepted the honor of cutting the Navy birthday cake.
Since 1851, the Armed Forces Retirement Home has offered a premier retirement community for military retirees and qualified veterans. The historic home in the heart of the nation's capital has housed four U.S. presidents, including Abraham Lincoln. A second campus, in Gulfport, Miss., was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and is being rebuilt. It's slated to reopen in 2010.
The facilities operated separately for many years until Congress passed a law in the early 1990s combining them into the Armed Forces Retirement Home. They're operated as an independent federal agency funded by a permanent trust made in part from a 50-cent-a-month payroll deduction from active-duty troops.
Many of the residents, like Giudice, said they were attracted to the AFRH by the first-class care and services it offers, but also by the opportunity to bond with fellow veterans.
"We share sea stories, talking about where we've been and what we've done," he said. "We all have one thing in common, and that's what brings us together."
AFRH Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cox cited a long list of programs and initiatives to ensure 1,100 residents now at the Washington campus get the quality care and services they deserve. "We've raised the bar, because we are treating the nation's heroes, and that means we have to do the very best we can," he said.
Findings of the prestigious Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities' Continuing Care Accreditation Committee show the effort is paying off. The independent accrediting body conducted a five-day, on-site survey in August, and announced earlier this week that it had awarded the Armed Forces Retirement Home its highest-level rating.
"It's a piece of paper that grades us on how we are doing … in comparison to other homes in America," said David Watkins, director of the Washington campus. "And we're in the top!"
Cox called the rating a huge achievement, particularly because it was awarded by retirement housing industry leaders. "A peer review is so tantamount to making sure we are doing the best we can for the people we serve," he said.
But ask the residents themselves, and they'll tell you they already knew what the accreditation officials made official.
"This is a nice, comfortable atmosphere, and the care we receive here is top-rate," said Eska McConnell, a retired Army sergeant first class who moved to the AFRH four years ago and now serves as president of its Resident Advisory Council. McConnell called the staff the key to the home's success.
"I see it day in and day out, and the staff here really cares about what happens to people," he said. "It's really neat, and I'll tell you, I do not intend to leave here, ever."
"This is a wonderful place," agreed Marie Townsend, a Navy veteran who became the first woman vocalist assigned to the Navy Band in 1945. "They do so much here – trips, concerts, shows and other activities. … And our food is like the Country Buffet!"
Moving from a five-bedroom house into a tiny room at the AFRH wasn't easy, Townsend conceded. But rather than getting rid of the things she loved, including her Shirley Temple doll collection, she saved just one or two of each to bring to her new home.
Cox said he feared the small rooms at the Washington campus would be considered a drawback when the accrediting committee toured the facility. But the goal, he said, isn't to keep people comfortably cooped up in apartments; it's to encourage them to get out and mingle in the facility's common areas that include a bowling alley, a nine-hole golf course, a wellness center and a library.
"The main living space is all of our common areas," Cox said. "All of the space is theirs, and we want them to use it."
Ritchie is among several hundred AFRH residents who lived at the former U.S. Naval Home in Gulfport before it fell victim to Hurricane Katrina's surge waters. She remembered arriving at that facility less than a year after her husband died, wanting more than what she had at her empty house in California.
"What I found here is camaraderie. We're all one family," Ritchie said of the AFRH and its residents. "My life is here. It's not back in California any more. I go to bed at night and say 'thank you.'"
But as active as she is at the Washington campus, Ritchie said, she has every intention of returning to Gulfport when it opens. "I'm going to be on the front bus," she said.
Wingo had been preparing to move into the Gulfport facility when Katrina hit, and he said he hopes to move there when it reopens to be closer to his family. But in the meantime, he said, he's taking advantage of all the Washington campus has to offer, and knows he made the right decision when he moved to the AFRH.
"You seldom hear a negative here about anything," he said. "I found a home here. I'm happy."

Dianna Agron Wants You To Take a Look Inside… Her Bathroom?
Dianna Agron (Quinn) is putting one particular room of her house on display in the Summer 2012 issue of AfterZine, and it's not the sort of room you might expect.
Using a mix of photos she took and an article she penned, the Glee star is giving readers a look inside her... bathroom?
Don't worry. This whole thing is not nearly as pervy as you might think. Dianna has actually transformed her bathroom into a unique space for artistic creation. "The walls in my downstairs restroom are covered in ink. It is glorious," Dianna writes.
The actress encourages her friends and guests to grab a pen, find a bit of inspiration, and make their own contribution to her ever growing mural.
"I mean, how often are we allowed to draw on the walls?" Dianna writes. "Growing up, I was told to never draw on the wall, which is why my washroom makes me smile every time I enter it. Sweet rebellion, even in its smallest form."

I have a php template I'm trying to customize and I'm trying to figure out where the header image is coming from, and I assume it's from this code. But, I don't understand what it means, or why it chooses the image it does.
yes, obviously I'm a newbie, and learning new stuff is soooo frustrating.

Hi merrygoround,
Good day!
"." sign is one of the "string" operators of PHP. The "dot" operator - "appends" a string from the other.
With that said, "body" ($body), variable was first set somewhere in your page, and thus, was reused again to concatenate the previous value to the one that you've pointed out. This means, that you need to find probably a file that was sorted earlier before the file to where you found this code.
Please check header.php or "index.php" of your file-structure, where the "header" is probably set.
For more info, you might find these links useful:
Hope that helps.

Fringe Episode 108: Green, Green, Green, Red
By Dennis Email Post 11/21/2008 01:53:00 AM Categories: 108: The Equation, Easter Egg, Fringe, Green Red, Season 1
The recurring theme of the Green and Red dots has finally paid off in "The Equation". The flashing Green, Green, Green, Red light pattens are used by the bad guys (Pattern makers?) to put people into a hypnagogic trance.
Green and red dots have been appearing since the very first episode. First, on the Kayak in Olivia's dream sequence in Pilot, then in The Arrival, inside the binoculars of The Observer, and later on the hat of John Mosley.

I have an idea that the light sequence is Fibonacci related. I'm not sure how to figure it,but just a hunch.

If you look closely at the horses in the school house once Olivia enters, the colors are all red and green. Interesting? :-)

In the scene when Joanne Osler disappears, She presses the button on the remote she is carrying and the lights in the hall start blinking red and green, just like when Walter hypnotized Peter. Also I think we may have seen the red and green lights flashing before. I'll have to check.
- November 24, 2008 at 11:48 AM
I thought it was funny that they mentioned Walter's past job of trying to hypnotize people into buying products. It's exactly what Christmas is now in the real world.

There is also been extensive research on the effects color play into our appetite. Red and green are at the top of the list. Olive Garden is actually a concept that is visually based on the result of such research.

Actually, in morse code green-green-green-red is dot-dot-dot-dash, it is a recurring theme elsewhere as well
(Walter plays the piano at one point, he plays the opening to Beethoven's 5th, the "duh-duh-duh-duuuuuh" one.)
In morse code this is the letter 'V', maybe that has to do with something...who knows? But I think that is the definite connection to it.
- January 9, 2009 at 6:00 PM
They also have the red & green lights on the "telephone" devices that the Observers use. You can see it in the episode "August". When the other observers "call" for another guy, who for some reason looks like a normal human, he opens his device and 4 lights go off, green, green, green, red.

A Panama, Okla., man was killed in Tsamkani, Afghanistan Monday (June 3) while serving in the United States Army.
Spc. Robert A. Pierce, 20, was among those killed when his unit was attacked by a "suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device," according to a news release from the Department of Defense.
Pierce was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), based in Fort Campbell, Ky.
Officials say he joined the Army in 2011 and served in South Korea before coming to Fort Campbell.
"He joined the military to make a difference, not only in his life, but in everyone's life," said Kyle Dart, his brother.
Pierce's awards include a National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and an Overseas Service Ribbon.
Pierce is survived by his wife Christian M. Pierce of Huntington, Ark., and his parents, Randy R. Pierce of Panama, Okla., and Lonnetta R. Dart of Hartford, Ark., according to a statement from the Airborne Division.
"This tragedy has left our family broken," Dart said. "We would like to thank everyone who has brought us food, sent their condolences, or just said a prayer."
Some of Pierce's family members will travel to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to escort his body home, according Dart.
"At this time, we just want to be together and go see our hero home," Dart said.
Pierce attended school in Panama, Okla., before transferring and graduating from Mansfield High School.
"He was loved by so many and had personal connections in many places," Dart said. "All he talked about was wanting to come home and provide for his wife and family."
While in high school, Pierce worked at the Bulldog Diner in Greenwood, where Dart says he learned to cook the perfect steak. A former coworker said it was his first job.
"He was so nervous and everything, and then he finally got the hang of it," said Amber Fry. "He worked here for about three years, and he actually became the steak cook, the main steak cook. Best steaks ever."
Pierce was also passionate about auto mechanics. When he wasn't working at the diner, friends say you could find him working on his truck.
"He could tell you the ins and outs on an engine," said Austin Pennington, a fellow Mansfield graduate and former coworker. "He loved working on vehicles."
"He had this one blue truck," said Fry. "He put every bit of his money into it. Every money that he made [at the diner], he put into it. He made sure the engine was running, he had it colored, he had it running loud, he put subs in it. I mean, he was in love with his truck totally in love with it."
That is until he met his wife, Christian, who also graduated from Mansfield High School. According to friends, the two were married in April of this year and have a son on the way.
"They fell hard fast," Fry said. "Allan was never the type of guy to have a girlfriend so when he found her, he knew it was her."
Pierce was also well-known at the Sebastian County Sheriff's Office, where his father-in-law Sgt. Steve Cox and Dart work.
"He had family and friends across the entire area and he touched everyone he came into contact with," Dart said.
Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor released the following statement Wednesday: "I join all Arkansans in mourning the death of an American hero, U.S. Army Specialist Robert A. Pierce, who lost his life while serving in Afghanistan. Our state and nation will be forever grateful for his sacrifice. My heartfelt prayers are with the Pierce family during this difficult time."
Funeral arrangements are pending with Edwards Funeral Home in Fort Smith, according to an obituary posted online.

For months after Kristina Ponischil was raped at a party in her off-campus apartment, her life at Western Washington University was hell.
Police wouldn't act, as often happens in college towns with "he said, she said'' accounts of alcohol-influenced student encounters behind closed doors. Despite a restraining order, she kept running into her assailant on campus, prompting panic attacks.
Once, the man who'd raped her brushed up against Ponischil in the bookstore, then smirked.
"I was just constantly worried that I would run into him again,'' Ponischil said.
