Disclosed is a core for producing halves of cambered hollow articles, such as bonded turbine blades. The core has opposing flanges which differ in thickness, since the opposing contour surfaces are rotated relative to one another, compared to the relationship of the contour surfaces in the interior of the hollow article being produced. Thus, the core is made thicker and more sound in the area of high camber where it is otherwise prone to be thin.
1. A flanged airfoil core for use in casting the mating halves of a hollow airfoil article having a cambered interior space of varying dimension defined by opposing contour surfaces of the halves; the airfoil core having a length and orthogonal x and y axes perpendicular thereto;
a camber shape cross section taken in the x-y axis plane normal to the length;
two longitudinal integral flanges, spaced apart along the x axis of the cross section and running along the length of the core at opposing lengthwise edges thereof, one of the flanges having a thickness substantially greater than the thickness of the other flange, as the thickness is measured in the y axis direction;
a first side and a second opposed side, each consisting of a contoured surface, the sides defining the camber cross section shape along the length of the core, each of said surfaces terminating at the opposing lengthwise edges where the integral flanges are located; and
a generally uniform thickness along the camber shape cross section as compared to a core having identically shaped contoured surfaces and uniform thickness flanges arranged along longitudinal edges of the core with the identically shaped contoured surfaces.
1. The invention relates to ceramic cores for metal casting, particularly those usable in the casting of superalloy gas turbine airfoils.
2. Recently, techniques have been developed and published in patents and elsewhere regarding processes for making gas turbine vanes and blades from bonded opposed halves. As disclosed in Hayes et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,981,344 and Phipps et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,965,963, the opposed halves are most suitably cast on opposite sides of a flanged "strongback" or central ceramic core. As reference to the aforementioned patents will show, the airfoils previously cast did not have a very high degree of camber. Thus, the flanged core was similar in configuration to a conventional core (usable in casting a unitary hollow object) except that the opposing sides were displaced from one another along a plane perpendicular to the plane of the flanges, with the amount of displacement being equal to the flange width.
Cores made in such fashion are satisfactory for airfoils with relatively low camber, but new problems are presented when making airfoils with high camber by the bonded blade halve approach. As is indicated in more detail in the following description of the preferred embodiment, the higher camber combined with the method of flanged core construction of the past results in a core which has a substantial variation in thickness, thereby introducing problems in core fabrication and structural stability. Cores with sharply varying cross sections can have varying shrinkage and drying rates associated with their different thickness which may result in unwanted warpage. Therefore, there is a need for an improved technique and design of central core for casting cambered blade halves.
An object of the invention is to provide a cambered core for forming mating parts of a hollow object, where the core has improved structural stability and more resistance to warpage and other deformation.
In accord with the invention, an improved core has two opposing surfaces which are rotated, with respect to the positions which the opposing surfaces cast thereagainst have in a hollow article. The rotation of the opposing surfaces, compared to the simple lateral displacement of the prior art, provides the area of highest camber with increased thickness, strength, and soundness. The core is made more nearly uniform in thickness. In the preferred embodiment the core has longitudinal flanges at the extremes of the opposing surfaces, with one flange being thicker than the other. Thus, when parts are cast in a mold using an inventive core the parts will be both spaced apart and rotated compared to the position they may assume upon being removed from the mold and mated to form the hollow article.
In practice of the invention greater accuracy is achieved in parts cast against the cores which are more stable, as the improved design causes less variation from shrinkage during forming and deflection during casting.
FIG. 1 shows a cross section of two opposing metal blade halves mated to form a hollow gas turbine airfoil.
FIG. 2 shows the use of a flanged central core to form opposing blade halves by casting in a ceramic mold.
FIG. 3 shows a core of the prior art with varying thickness.
FIG. 4 shows a core of the present invention.
The preferred embodiment is described in terms of a gas turbine airfoil, but it will be apparent that the invention is equally useful for casting other analogous shapes where the same problems are presented. The aforementioned U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,965,963 and 3,981,344 are hereby incorporated by reference, as they show the general technology of making blade halves with cores in which the present invention will be useful.
FIG. 1 shows one cross section of two higher camber airfoil halves in their mated position; these halves are sought to be fabricated using the inventive core. The concave half 12 and the convex half 14 mate at flange contact points 11 and 11' to form a hollow object having an interior cross section space 13. (After bonding at the flange points the final airfoil shape will be formed by machining away the flanges generally along the dotted contour lines 16.) The cross-sectional space 13, which will typically vary along the length of an airfoil, is thus defined by the contour surface T on the inner surface of the convex airfoil half 14 and the contour surface B on the inner surface of the concave half 12. The space has been fitted with x and y axes which will be referred to below to illustrate the changed relative positions of B and T contours in the cores from which blade halves are formed.
FIG. 2 illustrates in segmental section how the blade halves 12 and 14 are typically formed by casting metal into a ceramic mold 15 containing a central core 10 and illustrates the longitudinal nature of the flanges 26-26'. The central core, made of ceramic material, is held within the ceramic mold in a suitable position to produce the halves. Thus the ceramic core has the surface contours B and T which are desired in the blade halves (with due allowance for metal shrinkage, of which those familiar with the art are well aware). It will be further noted that the techniques used heretofore result in the opposing longitudinal flanged faces of the blade halves being substantially parallel.
FIG. 3 illustrates in cross section the typical shape of a high camber central core 10 made according to the teachings of the prior art. Referring to FIG. 1 in combination with FIG. 3, it is seen that the cross section of core 10 in FIG. 3 is defined by the surfaces T and B which are, compared to their relative positions in the cavity sought in the hollow airfoil, displaced along the y axis an additional distance w apart from each other. This displacement is illustrated in that the y axes of the B and T contours are coincident while the xB axis (of contour B) is displaced distance w from the xT axis (of contour T). This displacement desirably allows the creation of the leading edge flange 26 and 26', also of thickness w, and provide increased thickness and structural soundness of the core throughout. A more sound and deflection resistant core is one of the benefits obtainable with the split airfoil approach. However, it will be noted that the core thickness t varies substantially along the airfoil camber, as for instance between points 22 and 24 in the trailing edge portion of the airfoil. Thickness t as defined herein is the dimension of the core measured perpendicular to the core's imaginary center line contour, C, which also serves as a measure of the core's camber. It will be observable from FIG. 3 that the greater the camber of the airfoil contour C, the greater will be the variation in the airfoil thickness t between points such as 22 and 24. It is this variation in thickness which can cause problems of uneven consolidation and shrinkage during fabrication of the molded ceramic core, thereby resulting in warpage and other dimensional deviations which must be overcome.
FIG. 4 shows a cross section of a core of the present invention. Surfaces B and T are displaced apart along the y axis a minimum distance w as before, but now the x and y axes of the surface contour B and T have been relatively rotated. To illustrate this, the location of the contour B as it was in the prior art embodiment of FIG. 3 is shown in phantom by line 28. Thus it will be seen that the flange 26A is about the same as flange 26 in FIG. 3 while the trailing edge flange 26'A is increased in thickness. But most notably the relative disposition of B and T has been such that the core thickness t has been increased in the trailing edge, as in the region between points 22a and 24a, to create a more uniform thickness.
The new position of the contour surface B in space is illustrated by the movement of the axes (x--x)B and (y--y)B compared to the position of axes (x--x)T and (y--y)T which serve to define the relative locations of the contour surfaces. Of course, alternative rotation of the opposing contour surface T with respect to the datum position, or other combination of relative movements of the contours B and T may accomplish the object of establishment of a more nearly uniform thickness t.
Generally, an improved core has a more uniform thickness owing to the rotation of the opposing surface contours B and T from their relative positions in space at which they define the opposing contours in an airfoil interior space. Generally the thickness of the smaller flange (leading edge flange 26A in FIG. 4) must not be below a dimension necessary for strength and stability. It is not desirable to increase the thickness of the now-thicker flange (trailing edge flange 26'A) to a much greater amount than the contiguous camber section, and thus this aspect together with the inherent limitations of the particular B and T contours will not necessarily permit attainment of the ideal uniformity of thickness. Nonetheless, to the extent that the thickness of the core is made more nearly uniform, better core dimensioning and stability will result.
More simply, it may be said that the flange at the thinner trailing edge end of the airfoil core has been increased compared to the flange at the thicker leading edge of the core. Thus an inventive flanged core has one flange thicker than another. Referring back now to FIG. 2, it should be appreciated that the use of such a core will result in there being relative rotation of the mating metal blade halves during casting, as measured by previously parallel opposing flanges.
Of course, in the Figures described above only one cross section of the airfoil cavity was shown, whereas the typical airfoil has a length along which the camber and cross section space will typically vary substantially. Thus the degree to which the rotation of the opposing contours is effected may vary from one point to the other along the length of the airfoil and for the entirety of the core a compromise or intermediary rotation and displacement may be chosen to best achieve the object of relatively uniform thickness both along the camber and length of the airfoil.
The invention has been shown in terms of a core having flanges, as is most suited for making split blade halves which are to be joined by bonding. However, the invention will be also useful for the fabrication of halves of components such as airfoils where flanges are not desired.
Although this invention has been shown and described with respect to a preferred embodiment thereof, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and omissions in the form and detail thereof may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Sean O'Casey's tragicomic masterpiece, Juno and the Paycock, will be performed by the Moravian College Theatre Company on November 6-8, and 13-15 in the Arena Theatre on Moravian's Main Street campus.
In this play, O'Casey intertwines two stories from life in his Dublin tenement, that of the Irish revolutionary movement and the riotous yet treacherous results of a fake inheritance.
The playwright uses the tragic power of drama, while retaining a sense of fun, during the Black and Tan troubles of 1922. The main characters include the sodden, swaggering braggart Captain Jack Boyle played by Peter Matthews, and his valiant Juno, an impoverished yet ever-hopeful wife, played by Pat Van Varick. She holds her family together despite the numerous handicaps of dealing with adversity in a Dublin slum.
The play premiered in Dublin in 1924. When it was given its fifth major New York production in 1937, the late highly respected critic, James Agate, writing in the New York Times, judged it "the greatest play written in English since the days of Queen Elizabeth."
The play is directed by Jack Ramsey. The stage manager is sophomore Kristie Mulieri. Costumes are by William F. Bauman, stage design by Andrew Greenhut, and sound and lighting design by David Pedimonte.
Tickets are available through the Moravian College Theatre Company for $12 general admission (including senior citizens, LVAIC faculty, and staff members), $8 student admission. Season tickets are $18 general admission and $10 student admission. The Arena Theatre is located on the lower level of the Haupert Union Building at the intersection of Locust, Laurel and Monocacy streets. All performances are at 8:00 p.m, except Sundays at 2 p.m. For more information, call (610) 861-1489.

Cinderford seize thrilling 32-13 bonus point victory over Blaydon
Posted: February 22, 2014|
A HAT-TRICK for speed merchant Nev Codlin secured Cinderford a thrilling and much-needed 32-13 bonus-point victory over Blaydon at Dockham Road.
A second-half try from Sam Baker and 12 points from the boot of fly-half Mark Davies put the game out of sight but it was Codlin, and Mike Wilcox's assists that ignited the crowd.
It was a welcome return to Dockham Road for the Foresters who have not played on home turf since the slender 31-29 defeat to Coventry on December 14.
After almost one month without game time, their last outing a 12-5 victory over Henley Hawks on January 25, it was a nervy start for the hosts.
A knock-on squandered an early chance for the Foresters before Blaydon set up camp in the Cinderford 22 and refused to leave, despite excellent defensive tackles from powerful winger Codlin.
Cinderford's discipline let them down and they were pinged for not rolling away; Blaydon kicked for touch and unleashed their driving maul.
The visitors crashed over in the 10th minute with Harry Bate the man to ground the ball, but fly-half Andrew Baggett skewed the conversion wide.
The advantage was nullified just four minutes later as scrum-half Clive Stuart Smith stole the ball from the scrum in the Blaydon 22 and the forwards crept toward the whitewash with a series of pick-and-go efforts.
The ball was fired back to Codlin who ran in the try under the posts, with Davies duly adding the extras.
But Blaydon enjoyed the majority of possession in the second quarter with some abrasive work up front, but ultimately it proved fruitless as Cinderford's defence looked mostly watertight.
Cinderford were once again penalised and Blaydon kicked for touch to set up their catch-and-drive again. But the Foresters had learnt their lesson and the effort was held up.
A penalty was all Cinderford conceded as Baggett split the posts to edge Blaydon 8-7 up.
Cinderford's attack failed to penetrate the Blaydon defence as the clock ticked down and passing play between Davies and full-back Mike Wilcox was abruptly interrupted by a deliberate knock-on by Blaydon captain Keith Laughlin who was duly binned.
Cinderford emerged after a half-time debrief by boss Andy Deacon with renewed vigour and took the lead after just eight minutes, as Davies split the posts with a penalty kick.
As Cinderford began to secure the ball on the front foot and make ground toward the try line, Davies took the drop goal option, but his effort hit the upright.
But advantage was played and Davies kicked for the corner. The ball squirted out of the driving maul and a well-timed pass from Davies found the evergreen Wilcox who fed the ball to Codlin lurking on the wing.
The pace ace wriggled past Blaydon's defensive efforts and he dived over in the corner for this second try in the 52nd minute.
The tricky conversion sailed wide but Cinderford were 15-8 clear.
A superb team effort saw the Foresters increase their lead in the 64th minute. Wilcox made a dash to the line before offloading to Sam Baker in support to go over for his first try of the season.
Davies converted and Cinderford set off in search of a bonus point victory with 15 minutes left on the clock.
Tenacious defence and a tireless work rate held out Blaydon's desperate charges into the 22 as Cinderford turned the visitors over three times when the try line was beckoning.
Captain George Evans then secured possession in front of the grandstand, and Davies kick to the 22 was knocked on by full-back Phil Steward. Penalised again in the scrum, Cinderford kicked to the corner but could only leave with three points as Davies' drop-goal effort was good this time round.
Blaydon's efforts were eventually rewarded as they responded to the deficit with a try for loosehead prop James Hammond but it was Cinderford - and man-of-the-match Nev Codlin who had the final say with a bonus-point converted try.
The talented Wilcox made another break before passing to Codlin to dive over, much to the delight of the spectators.
Not even Codlin's knock-on with the try line at his mercy in the final minute could dampen spirits as Cinderford recorded their eighth win this term.

The Chadron school district is hosting a strategic planning meeting tonight that Superintendent Dr Caroline Winchester is calling a Dream Team session because participants will asked to contribute their dreams for the district.
Winchester began an on-going strategic planning effort shortly after becoming superintendent 3 years ago that focuses on achievable goals and projected finances.
She says the Dream Team approach complements that effort by asking participants to offer goals and "dreams" for the district and its schools that aren't tied to finances or other constraints.
Winchester says the idea is to open the thought process to new possibilities that might trigger projects or programs in the future as technologies and conditions change.
Winchester and the school board are inviting all Chadron school district patrons to take part in tonight's planning session, but says representatives of other area entities will also be taking part…much the same as with the Dawes County Joint Planning group.
The Dream Team master planning meeting begins this afternoon at 5:30 in the Chadron Public Schools central office.

A fire burning for more than six hours at an abandoned Las Vegas, New Mexico, motel finally extinguished on its own around midnight.
The fire started around 5:30 p.m. at the Inn of Las Vegas, located at 1152 North Grand Avenue. Las Vegas Fire Chief Phillip Mares said crews arrived two minutes later and observed heavy smoke coming from the building.
Mares said crews let the fire go out on its own for their own safety.
No one was injured during the incident. Crews are not sure if anyone was inside the building, but so far, the chief said no one has been found.
The motel had been abandoned for several years.
Fire crews will remain on scene Wednesday morning to monitor the building.
According to Mares, the fire marshal will investigate the cause of the fire, which remains undetermined at this time.
No other buildings were damaged or affected by the blaze.
Grande Avenue reopened near the building around 1 a.m.

Miscellaneous: Cats dressed up as sushi to brighten your Monday
Before you laugh, this isn't just some stupid internet-friendly cats Photoshopped on to rice, it's much more than that. Neko-Sushi is "an extremely unusual life-form" the website tells us, "although several references have come down to us through history from various researchers and witnesses, their existence is still shrouded in mystery and actual sightings remain rare."
The oddly sincere tone that creators Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts have taken when describing the cats is at once unnerving and hilarious. For once someone has actually created a meme with a creative backstory rather than just aesthetically-funny-Twitter-fodder to pander to our scrolling tendencies. Rice to meet you sushi kitties!

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. (AP) - The man who guided the development of casinos on the Navajo Nation is resigning.
Robert Winter announced Thursday that his last day as chief executive of the Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise will be Jan. 1.
But he'll stay on board with the enterprise to help plan for the tribe's first casino in Arizona, which is expected to open next summer near Flagstaff.
Winter says it had been his goal to mentor a tribal member to replace him. The enterprise's chief financial officer, Derrick Watchman, will succeed him.
The tribe named Winter as its gaming chief in 2007. It opened its first casino near Gallup, N.M., the following year.
The Navajo Nation has two other casinos in New Mexico.

Dineen is Selected Second Team All-Northwest Conference
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University senior midfielder Casey Dineen (Portland, OR/Jesuit HS) has been selected Second Team All-Northwest Conference in voting by the NWC head coaches. WU players Luke Lagattuta (Sr., MF, Albuquerque, NM/Highland HS) and Erik Kaufman (So., F, Portland, OR/Grant HS) received Honorable Mention.
Complete List
Men's Soccer Team
Overall, 40 athletes received All-Conference honors. Twelve were chosen for the First Team, with 12 on the Second Team and 16 on the Honorable Mention list.
John Yorke, head coach at Pacific Lutheran University, was named NWC Coach of the Year. Forward Elly Bulega from Whitworth University was named NWC Offensive Player of the Year and goalkeeper Andrew Stevermer of Pacific University was chosen NWC Defensive Player of the Year.
Dineen scored six goals this season to tie for second on the team in overall scoring with 12 points. He started 17 games, took 36 shots and had 19 shots on goal. He went 2 for 2 on penalty kicks.
During his career at Willamette, Dineen played in 67 games with 64 starts. He scored nine goals and achieved four assists, while taking 128 shots. He was known for his ability to link the defense with the attack and for his skill at moving past defenders to set up scoring opportunities.
Lagattuta started 18 games and led the team with 1,511 minutes played this season after moving from defender to midfielder. He added significantly to Willamette's offense, as he contributed three goals and a team-high six assists. He tied with Dineen for second on the team in scoring with 12 points. He took 21 shots, including 11 shots on goal.
In four years at WU, Lagattuta played in 73 games and had 68 starts. He was a solid defender during his first three years, before moving into the midfield for his final season. He scored four goals and provided seven assists in his career.
Kaufman was the top scorer for the Bearcats this year. He scored a team-high nine goals to go with two assists for 20 total points. He took 32 shots and placed 19 of them on goal. Three of his goals were game-winners, in road games at Simpson and George Fox and in with five seconds left in overtime at home against Linfield in the season finale.
During the year, Kaufman scored a goal in seven games, including each of the last three games of the year and four of the last six. In his two years at WU, he has scored 15 goals and two assists for 32 points. He has seen action in 37 games with 33 starts. He has taken 60 shots, including 36 shots on goal.
All three of Willamette's All-NWC selections placed more than half of their shots on target. Kaufman led the team at 59.4% (19 of 32), while Dineen finished the year at 52.8% (19 of 36) and Lagattuta connected at 52.4% (11 of 21).
The Bearcats concluded the season at 6-13-0 and finished in fifth place in the nine-team NWC at 5-9 (15 points). Willamette was 3-3 in its final six conference games, as the Bearcats recorded 13 goals in those games.

text: Today I played in a women's tournament at Chris's Billiards in Chicago. It was a great tournament and the women of this area are greatful for having it. There is another player in the tournament that I have never gotten along with. I have endured alot of comments/rumors and whatnot over the past 8 years. Until today I have never said anything back. I would like to apologize for the outburst/argument that began when the tournament ended. I feel badly for what happened and the manner in which it happened. I do not regret finally standing up for myself but I do regret the way it was done. So for anyone that was at Chris's billiards today, I apologize. I was just tired of being walked on. This is not the way I usually conduct myself. So again, I apologize.

Looking for fabulous Chex (Mix)
I am a big fan of prepackaged Chex mix, especially the rye chips, but like a true addict I need to up the ante a bit. I am looking for that like a virgin, first-time Chex feeling, with a little more umami and salt, perhaps. And I still want my rye chips. Are there any Chexperts who can help? (And if any of your are short, German Chex therapists, that's a bonus I would appreciate for the sheer credibility of it all.)

This is the story of a wonderful girl named Tootsie, who came into ATRA via a very circuitous route. An all breed rescue group in Alabama got a call about a dog with pups living in some woods, far out on a country road. They went with food and water, hoping to find the canine family and coax them to safety. On their way down a back road in route to their destination they saw an Airedale, or they thought it was, in horrible condition, tied to a tree with a chain. They stopped to see if she had food or water, or if there was anyone around.
What they found was dear Tootsie. She was gentle and sweet and came to them right away. There was no water, and she was alone, tied up. She was in terrible shape. Very thin, infected running eyes, matted hair and just the saddest lonely look. They gave some of their supplies of food and water to Tootsie. Then they saw children out playing, but they paid no attention to the dog at all. The volunteers found out the dog did belong to the people in a nearby house, but the lady explained that the dog had been her husband's dog. Her husband had passed away, and no one else in the family wanted the dog. The children were wary of her, so they had just tied her out to the tree. There she had stayed, in total isolation, ignored. They would give her water, but she would immediately get the bowl tied up in her chain and tip it over, having to wait until the next day to get more. The volunteers offered to take her. They assured the woman they would be back for her.
After contacting ATRA, and finding that ATRA would take the dog, they went back to get her. No one was home, but the woman had already agreed they could take her, so with her terrible condition they decided not to wait.
A visit to the vet soon revealed that Tootsie was heart worm positive, full of intestinal worms, fleas and ticks. She is approximately 2 years old. Then it was off to be groomed, where the groomer said she couldn't have been sweeter. There was, in fact, a gorgeous Airedale under all the neglect!
Now that she is safe in an ATRA foster home, Tootsie must begin the long, stressful heart worm treatment. This treatment will consist of two painful injections to the hip area in a 24 hour period of very strong drugs that will attack and kill the heart worms. For four weeks after the injection she must remain basically inactive, moving slow, going out to potty on a leash, avoiding any heart stress at all, that could potentially be fatal to her. When a month has passed, a second series of shots will take place, to kill any small heart worm larvae that may still be in her system. The month of rest and quiet will be repeated again. Heart worm treatment is very serious and very taxing on the dog's entire system. Nothing to be taken lightly, and definitely is a testament to how loving ATRA's foster homes are, to take on the special care needed for Tootsie.
Also, as I'm sure you have figured out, this treatment that will save Tootsie's life and allow her to be placed in a forever home is not inexpensive. It is a reminder to us all to mark our calendars and be religious about giving heart worm preventative to our dogs. Tootsie was not so lucky to have someone who cared for her enough to keep her safe from this preventable problem. Now ATRA needs your donations to help cover the expenses to give Tootsie the new lease on life she deserves. Make a donation, and send it from your heart, to saving Tootsie's heart.
Tootsie has begun her heartworm treatment. Her ATRA foster home reports that she is a very sweet girl. They have renamed her Hannah.
The vet says Hannah would have been a much bigger girl from the looks of her large paws, but poor nutrition kept her from attaining her full size potential. Now she is just a cute girl with big paws!
Hannah (Tootsie) has found a home!

First there was the heating problem and now this! Yesterday, we reported that the new iPad gets at least 10-13 degrees hotter than the iPad 2, which is all thanks to the more powerful A5X processor and the quad core graphics. During those tests, it was found out that the new iPad wouldn't charge when running graphic intensive games even when plugged into a power source. Even Gizmodo has reported that various users are experiencing such problems with their new iPad.
According to a report by Consumer Reports, the new iPad continued to run out of charge when playing games and running high graphic apps, while it was plugged in. Not just them, but many users of the new iPad are also talking about similar issues and the battery not charging when playing games etc.
We also noticed that the new iPad wasn't charging while the game was running and it was plugged in. In fact, the battery continued to drain. It charged normally, however, when we weren't running a game.
Most of the test results state that this battery-not-charging issue is due to the fact that the new iPad needs more power to run the A5X processor, Retina display, and quad core graphics when playing a graphic intensive game. The 10w charger doesn't provide enough energy to charge that huge battery, thus leading to the problem.
As The Next Web notes, if Apple were to supply a higher rated charger with the new iPad, then the issue may be solved. If you didn't know, the new iPad's battery is 70% larger than that of the iPad 2! So, perhaps it needs a bigger and more powerful charger! Technically speaking, the new iPad could be consuming more power than what the 10w adapter can supply! Apple, are you listening?
Have you been experiencing any such problems with your brand new iPad?

With spring fast approaching, sellers thinking of taking their property to market will already be in preparation mode.
But what exactly can they expect from the traditional selling season? Will it be all doom and gloom, or are things looking up?
Andrew Wilson, the senior economist at Australian Property Monitors (owned by Fairfax Media), gives his insights on what is happening in Australia's capital city markets.
There's growing confidence in the Sydney market, Wilson says. "There's still some quiet areas but I think the prospects for spring are quite optimistic from vendors.".
Australian Property Monitors figures show modest price growth in Sydney over the June quarter and clearance rates for weekend auctions have picked up recently.
"We've got clearance rates averaging above 60 per cent now in July," Wilson says. That's higher than a year ago when clearance rates were in the mid 50s.
The action is mostly in the middle part of the market rather than the top end – although there are early signs of a rise in activity for pricier properties, particularly in the eastern suburbs and lower north shore, says Wilson.
"Leading indicators are quite positive and particularly compared to last spring where the market really did run out of puff.
"Of course, the key disclaimer to all of this is how the economy is performing and we've just started to see some more positive signs from the economy as well."
Melbourne has been a little surprising this year performing better than expected, says Wilson.
"Melbourne really leapt ahead back in that boom period we had in 2009 into 2010," Wilson says. "Certainly that was unsustainable and [there has been] a correction process."
However, an increase in first home buyers due to changes in incentives by the Victorian Government has created a "drawing forward in demand". "That has helped to bolster the market recently," says Wilson.
But the jury is still out on how the Melbourne market will do over the remainder of the year.
"We may see a little bit of that middle market pick up through to the end of the year as a result of people who have sold their properties to first home buyers," says Wilson.
On the whole though, Wilson is expecting the Melbourne market to remain subdued.
Despite a solid lift in home loans and investor activity in Queensland, Australian Property Monitors is not seeing any sense of a liftoff the bottom of the market.
"We're still seeing a decline in prices growth," says Wilson.
APM's latest price report shows Brisbane's median house price dropped for the eighth consecutive quarter.
"That's two years of falling house prices in Brisbane, so we couldn't really say that we're seeing a sense of a recovery in house prices in Brisbane at this stage," says Wilson.
Adelaide is quite flat at the moment, says Wilson.
"There's a real wait-and-see attitude amongst buyers and sellers in the Adelaide market," he says.
"I would suggest that it would still remain quite flat over the remainder of the year with, if anything, some slight upside in terms of prices growth and increased buyer activity."
Perth is ticking all right boxes for sellers, says Wilson.
"All the fundamentals are certainly pointing to prices growth. Western Australia has Australia's strongest economy, lowest unemployment rate and highest wages.
"We're seeing significant rises in rents for both units and houses in the Perth market, a shortage of accommodation and high competition for properties in both the selling and renting markets."
Strong population growth and low levels of construction are at play.
"Once you get behind that eight-ball of construction to meet underlying demand it's very hard to catch up and that does put pressure on prices," says Wilson.
"There's certainly some growing momentum in the Perth market and I would be surprised if we didn't see quite solid prices growth in that market through until the end of the year.
"It is certainly the hot spot in Australian capital cities at the moment."
The Canberra market is up and running, says Wilson.
Wilson says Canberra has low unemployment, relatively high public service incomes and a shortage of accommodation, especially at the cheaper end of the market.
"You have a very strong mid-range price market, it's a very difficult market to enter," Wilson says.
"First home buyers find it very hard to get into the marketplace in Canberra, and it is certainly, in terms of prices growth, looking very, very solid at the moment.
"It's probably number two to Perth."
Darwin tends to be pretty volatile, says Wilson.
"It has a very seasonal employment profile because of the dry and the wet season there, so you tend to get a lot of interstate migration as the wet season moves into the dry season and vice-versa."
The underlying trend in Darwin is increased activity in the resources sector, especially offshore resources, says Wilson.
"We'll see quite an active market through to spring in Darwin," he says.
Despite a weaker economy that lacks exposure to the mainland's resources boom, Wilson says the Hobart housing market has shown some resilience.
"Buyer confidence is holding up in the market in Tasmania at the moment but it will be interesting to see whether it can continue to do so given that the prospects for the local economy are still mixed at best.
"At the end of the day it's confidence in the local economy, it's jobs growth, it's incomes growth; these sorts of factors determine, certainly over the medium term, where housing markets go."
Are you planning to sell or buy in spring? If so, how are you feeling about your local market?

"India Has Dearth Of Open Source Professionals"
"India Has Dearth Of Open Source Professionals"
"One out of ten candidates that we find, come with exposure in open source technology," says Karthi Swaminathan, vice president, site operations and engineering, CollabNet.

Yes, it may be hard to believe but it's a fact. With the increasing adoption of open source technology in India, companies in India are willing to hire open source talent but they find dearth of good open source professionals. Talent crunch is one of the major issues faced by the companies. CollabNet is one such company, which constantly looks for engineers with exposure in open source technology.
Speaking to EFYTimes.com, Karthi Swaminathan, vice president, site operations and engineering, CollabNet, said, It's just one out of ten candidates that we find come with exposure in open source technology. Number of people contributing to open source community is very less. There are a lot of people who have tried or experienced open source as consumers but really few people who are actually contributing to the open source technologies. There are jobs for the open source professionals but there are less takers or should I say adequate talent to fill those jobs.
But Swaminathan is hopeful about the situation improving in the coming years. He said, If we look at the situation 5-6 years back, the level of talent available for contributing to open source was minimal and we were one of the pioneers in that space. We had engineers who contributed to the Subversion project big time. One of the first committors of Subversion is from Asia. He is now an employee of CollabNet. But of late, things have changed. We are starting to see people making a lot of contribution to the source codes of various open source projects whether they do it as a part of their job or for their interest is immaterial.
Companies like CollabNet value open source professionals better than others in the industry. Swaminathan explains, I believe exposure in open source technology adds value to their profiles. Open source technology makes them better engineers and gives them an edge over the others.

text: More than seven years after the crime took place, John Wayne Thomson should learn his ultimate fate today. The Daily News reports that Thomson should be scheduled for sentencing today in the August, 2006 murder of a man in southern California, and a jury is recommending that he receive the death penalty. That won't be official until the judge actually pronounces the sentence. The only other option available is life without the possibility of parole. Thomson is also accused in the July, 2006, murder of Lori Hamm of Longview, and regardless of the sentence handed down in San Bernardino, Cowlitz County Prosecutor Sue Baur says that she plans to bring Thomson back to stand trial for that killing. Hamm's parents attended parts of Thomson's trial and sentencing hearings, and they're also in Southern California for today's scheduled hearing.

Dancing in the Garden
I see them there , cast against the garden wall
Shadows dancing in the blush of afternoon
The lively winds tumble branch and grasses all
In their passing these quick images are strewn
The sun soon dropping into its red hued nest
Dance now with abandon for soon they will rest
Sun, wind and wall, partners in this pretty show
Little gifts of nature to set hearts aglow

Intel has been falling behind the tablet game for a while now and last they have incorporated their Atom processors was in the Eee notebooks that have long been forgotten. Now, they want to claim their throne back with their newest Atom iteration that according to them will be much stronger and faster than every competitor's processor.
They have introduced the Z2760 processor that has already been implemented in a lot of tablet hybrids, which are going to be unveiled with the launch of Windows 8 on 26th of October, or later. This processor is based on Clover Trail architecture and it is a dual-core 1.8GHz processor that according to Intel can be implemented in the thinnest ultrabooks, tablets measuring up to 8.5mm and weighing 1.5 pounds.
The dual-core processor has a four-thread SoC, which will provide a long battery life, according to them, providing more than 3 weeks in standby mode and more than ten hours, watching a full HD video.
The processor is made in a 32nm technological process, with the usage of a second generation high-k (metal gate) transistors. The Z2760 processor has an integrated GPU that can clock up to 533MHz and a hardware acceleration that can decode and encode 1080p video.
The processor can support one internal (MIPI-DSI, LVDS) display and an additional external HDMI 1.3 connection type display.
It has Intel's Hyper-Threading technology and Intel Burst incorporated and it comes with a 32bit dual-channel memory Controller that supports LPDDR2 memory, 800MT/s data rates and capacity up to 2GB. It has an internal ISP that can support HD cameras up to 8 MP, and an additional camera up to 2.1 MP. It also has an integrated multimedia card.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Hottie Gregg Sulkin Lands Big Movie Role
Gregg Sulkin (Wesley) is one of our favorite new additions to the Pretty Little Liars cast, and now it looks like we'll have another opportunity to witness his hotness talent outside of Rosewood.
Variety reports that Gregg has been cast in Panda Eyes, a new film that also stars Jonathan Rhys Meyers (!), Rhys Ifans, and Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner.
The movie is about a teen girl (played by Sophie) "who believes she's being pursued by her own double"; Gregg will be Sophie's love interest.
This movie sounds really interesting, and with a cast like that there's no way we'll miss it. Congrats, Gregg!
Catch the return of PLL Season 3 on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

A Note About the Finale/And Thanks
Hello to my fellow LOST fans! Just a note that, like many of you, I will be attending a LOST series final party tomorrow night so screen caps will not be up until sometime Monday. I also want to thank each and every one of you who have been with us since 2004 or joined in later for visiting the site and the message board. It has been my absolute pleasure running this site with the help of many posters (lyly and ilsalund and buffyfan145 and Lardo and mommcl) and forum admins since September 27, 2004. I had a blast! And thanks to Carlton and Damon and JJ and all the cast and crew of LOST for a wonderful ride these past 6 years. There has never been a show like LOST and there will probably never be another show like it again. It was ground breaking and special for millions of fans all over the world. One I personally will never forget. Whatever the finale has in store for us, I will cherish these past 6 years as a wondeful entertainment experience.
Have fun!

Watching the first presidential debate, my friends and I were struck by an apparent paradox: President Barack Obama spoke for about four minutes longer than challenger Mitt Romney, but it seemed like Romney had dominated the time. In their post-debate reactions, analysts and pundits like MSNBC's Rachel Maddow also were surprised that Obama had more opportunities to speak.
So before counting sheep for the night, I decided to count the words that each candidate spoke. (And there were a lot of words: More than 15,000 between the two men, all told.)
While a simple word count isn't always enlightening, I think it helps explain analysts' impressions here. Despite getting 11% more microphone time, Obama actually uttered about 9% fewer words than Romney did last night.
What that translates to: Romney squeezed more than 30 extra words into every minute he spoke.
Because the debate was incredibly wonky, with a focus on topics like tax policy and entitlement reform, that "word gap" may have resonated with many viewers who were otherwise confused by the candidates' topics and terms.
I interviewed about a dozen people while walking home through Washington, D.C.'s Columbia Heights and Adams Morgan neighborhoods. While the city is overwhelmingly Democratic, nearly everyone in my decidedly unscientific sample thought that Romney carried the debate based on performance, using terms like "energetic" and "convincing."
Those mini-survey results seem to be backed up by the polls and pundit reaction; regardless of politics, Romney came across as the livelier candidate.
Sometimes it's not what you say, but how—and how much—and on that score, Romney won the first debate.

Time's A Ticking
"You will never find time for anything. If you want time, you must make it." – Charles Bixton
I love Daylight Savings time in the fall. For me, the concept is full of possibilities. I am given an extra hour, and it is up to me how I choose to spend it. Mr. Brooks thinks I am silly – that any "extra" hour is in the middle of the night, so it is spent sleeping… I see things a little differently, and believe that the extra hour can be filled at any point during the day, in any way I choose to fill it.
I started wondering if others feel the same way, so I put together a one-question survey and posted it on my social media channels right before I went to bed. I was up an hour early, and slowly watched the numbers climb. Of course, I soon started thinking about the opportunities for math lessons!! At the time of publishing tonight, there have been 543 responses. I have some awesome friends who shared my link (thank you Charity, Dana, Jerry and the MTA!) and because of them, we have some real meaty numbers to dig into! Yaay!!
Needless to say, my students will be working with data over the next week or so. Every response is time-stamped, and there are many responses which need categorization. We will have to decide what is "useful data" and what is "bad data". We'll make predictions, comparisons, calculations and perhaps draw some conclusions.
When Spring Ahead comes around, I'll plan on doing the same thing. I have my personal predictions on what folks will believe they "lose" when we move the clocks ahead, but only the data will tell us that!
Mrs. Brooks' Students: Here is the link to where we will assemble our data:
If you would like to see the work we are doing with this data – scroll all the way to the bottom of this post!!
We are a week away from our Plimoth trip. Lunch orders are due by Friday. If you are a chaperone and are driving instead of busing, thank you! Keep me posted – our buses will be packed!
Recess is starting to get chilly. Be sure your child is dressed for the weather.
Almost 30% of you have signed up for Remind 101! AWESOME! If you have questions about it, let me know
Smile Wide,
The kids were ALL excited to get started!!!

I judge a successful cityscape painting by whether or not the
architecture, the weather, and the figures—everything in the
painting—combine to transport me somewhere different. If that happens
and the barrier between my reality and the painted alternative gets a
little blurry, letting me see different sites and locales as though I
were actually there, the painting is a winner.
I'm a color junkie. In fashion, in design, and especially in painting,
vibrant color is what gets me creative. But before the image of Mimi
from The Drew Carey Show
becomes forever attached to my name in your mind, I'll point out that I
can control myself…sometimes. It's tough, though, especially now that
spring is officially here and I'm starting to see hints of color
Over and over again I hear artists cooing about the thick richness
of oil paints and its appealing spreadability, and yes, all of that is totally true.
But artist Bev Jozwiak is giving oil a run for its money in terms of buttery appearance
and saturated colors, and she's doing it with watercolor.
When I'm landscape painting I'm always drawn to the curious, in-between
places where the outdoors and indoors meet. This could be an
ivy-smothered barn that almost looks like it is disappearing into the
landscape, or an ocean view from an open window. The places where
architecture and the natural world collide make a composition
eye-catching and compelling because they integrate elements that we
usually think of as distinct and separate. Bringing them together
creates a tension that some of the landscape paintings I like best have
in common.

Refine your craft by Aaron Scamihorn
If someone can talk about craft, it's Aaron. His illustrations are so detailed it almost makes me cringe, in a good way.
Aaron sent his first resolution, then saw it was a little off-center. Probably not enough for any of you bums to notice but enough to drive him crazy. So in the spirit of his resolution, he fixed it up and sent me over a new one.
I am almost certain that in that moment, Aaron's year was saved all thanks to the To Resolve Project. That might be a little bit of an overstatement, but lets just roll with it.
Thanks for the great work and the great craft, Aaron.

You'll need a 22.0 or 22.5, unless you're buying for next year and then I'd grab a 23 if available. Yup, add the first two numbers of the Mondo point system together to get a rough translation to US uni/men shoe sizes. Cool huh?

DNR Announces Spring Trout Stocking Schedule
Annapolis, Md. (February 3, 2011) — This month, the Maryland
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will begin stocking the first of
approximately 327,000 rainbow and brown trout into freshwaters across the State
for trout fishing enthusiasts.
"Our pre-season stocking usually starts in early February but too much ice and snow can delay things as we saw last year," says DNR's Assistant Fisheries Director Don Cosden. "So, watch our website or call 1-800-688-3467 for updates. I'm already getting excited about the upcoming season and the chance to catch some trout as large as seven or eight pounds."
The stocking schedule is now online at www.dnr.maryland.gov/fisheries/stocking and is also available at DNR Regional Service Centers and license vendors. DNR encourages anglers to visit the maps of stocked and special managed streams for directions and more information on trout fishing locations. Pre-season stocking usually starts in the eastern part of the State followed by the western region as the weather warms up.
In order to protect our fish populations and keep their habitat healthy, DNR reminds anglers to clean and dry their gear between streams and outings. Field and laboratory research has confirmed that the felt used for waders is an ideal medium for collecting and transporting microscopic organisms. The discovery of the invasive algae didymo on the lower Savage River shows how easily unwanted organisms can be moved between watersheds and demonstrates that anglers must be more diligent than ever. A good scrubbing with dish soap or a 5 percent salt solution is an easy way to prevent the spread of invaders such as didymo and whirling disease. Convenient wader wash stations are available at several key wild trout areas including the Gunpowder River, Savage River, the North Branch of the Potomac (Barnum area), and Big Hunting Creek.
Anglers need to be aware that a proposed Maryland regulation to prohibit felt soles in all waters is scheduled to become effective in March 2011. DNR welcomes public comment on the proposal through February 28 via email to email@example.com or by mail to: Maryland Department of Natural Resources Fisheries Service, ATTN: Felt-Soled Wader Ban Regulation, 580 Taylor Ave., B-2, Annapolis, MD 21401.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources is the state agency responsible for providing natural and living resource-related services to citizens and visitors. DNR manages nearly one-half million acres of public lands and 17,000 miles of waterways, along with Maryland's forests, fisheries and wildlife for maximum environmental, economic and quality of life benefits. A national leader in land conservation, DNR-managed parks and natural, historic and cultural resources attract 11 million visitors annually. DNR is the lead agency in Maryland's effort to restore the Chesapeake Bay, the state's number one environmental priority. Learn more at www.dnr.maryland.gov

An 80-year-old wheelchair-bound double-amputee from Harleyville has died after being mauled by a pack of dogs, according to the Dorchester County Coroner's Office.
On May 8, Carlton Freeman was minding his own business while going down the side of the road in his wheelchair, at Spring Branch and Dunnings Road, when he was attacked by dogs, Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet.
Freeman was a bi-lateral amputee at the knees, from a previous injury years ago, Nisbet said. He told paramedics he was pulled from his wheelchair by his legs as he tried to fight off the dogs, he said.
Freeman also stated that the dogs bit him and pulled at his clothing. Paramedics transported him to Trident Hospital, where he was admitted to the intensive care unit, Nisbet said. He died Sunday as a result of his injuries from the attack, he said.
"Upon my examination of Mr. Freeman, it is a wonder that this gentleman was able to hang on as long as he did," Nisbet said. "He had bites and lacerations from his legs to the top of his head. This is very sad story, but even worse that Mr. Freeman was basically helpless to the attack, due to being a bi-lateral amputee."
Dorchester County sheriff's deputies are investigating the incident. Freeman told them he was attacked by four dogs, Maj. John Garrison said.
Deputies, along with Dorchester County Animal Control, were able to capture three of the animals and are still trying to locate and capture the fourth, Garrison said.
Neighbors told deputies the dogs had been roaming around the neighborhood for months, according to an incident report.
Deputies spoke with a 61-year-old Dunnings Road woman who told them she owns three of the dogs — a mother and two puppies, the report stated. Deputies noted that the mother and puppies had traces of blood on their fur.
The woman was unsure who owned the fourth dog, the report stated.

Storms River is a very beautiful region of the Garden Route which lies within the Tsitsikamma National Park. Cape Town lies 700km to the west and Port Elizabeth 200 km to the east.
The village is easily accessible by car, or bus, as it lies just off the N2. English, Afrikaans and Xhosa is spoken by the residents of this small settlement and the town has all the basics with an ATM, a hotel, a police station, a fire station, a health centre and a number of small grocery stores. The residents are friendly and welcoming and the town has a real community feel about it, with a relaxed and easy pace.
On the outskirts of the village is where the majority of the Storms River residents live, in RDP housing provided free by the South African government. The residents have set up a community hall and a school, and there are a number of small shops scattered throughout the township.
For the adventurous there is a selection of activities that run from the Tsitsikamma National Park.

TNGHT + Kanye West – Cold (Live @ Music Hall of Williamsburg)
Yea, it was a big concert weekend indeed. Before he surprised Big Sean's hometown audience, Kanye West joined DJ duo TNGHT during their set in New York on Friday (November 30). Yeezy made an impromptu appearance on stage with TNGHT, aka producer/DJ Hudson Mohawke and Lunice, during their gig at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg. The clip displays Kanye running on to the stage while the DJ duo play his track "Cold" (2:10). Although he doesn't have a microphone in his hand, he rapped the lyrics of the song, much to the joy of the attending crowd.

HAZARD — New terms for some elected county officials have officially started.
Perry County Commonwealth's Attorney John Hansen and Perry Circuit Clerk Charles Patterson were sworn in by Judge William Engle on Monday.
After being sworn in, Hansen and Patterson addressed those in attendance.
"I look forward to working for you, as I was telling several of you earlier, I look forward to being on the same side again," said Hansen, who for the past six years has practiced as a private attorney.
Hansen previously served as commonwealth's attorney from 2000 to 2006, and told The Herald he plans to pick up where he left off.
"Pretty much what we're going to do is we're going to try to bring a little bit more credibility to the office, like we did last time," Hansen said. "What we want to do is, through this office, hopefully build back the reputation that Perry County used to have, hard-working people who care."
Hansen said during his term he and his staff hope to attack the drug problem that is destroying the community.
"And once we get folks in jail, hopefully the other elected officials … will see and promote the word that Perry Countians are good people, they're not pill-billies," Hansen said.
Patterson will be serving his first term as an elected official, but had to start early and took the interim position after former Court Clerk Roger Collins retired a week early after serving two terms.
"It's kind of odd, usually you've got the man in charge training the workers, but right now the workers are training me," Patterson said.
Patterson said he plans to make changes to the office based on complaints he heard from concerned citizens during his campaign.
"I'm studying the way things are now and the problems that were expressed to me, trying to figure out a way to incorporate some kind of change that's going to be good for the community," he said.
Patterson added that some of these changes include things like extending the hours of the driver's licensing office and making the office overall more efficient.
"Most of the complaints revolved around the efficiency of the office, and of course driver's licensing hours," Patterson said. "A lot of people in the county work during the day, so it's hard for them to get here before 4 o'clock."
Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Josh Mullins was also sworn in on Monday.

Juventus playmaker Paul Pogba is focussing solely on his football in Turin despite heavy rumours of a summer move away from Italy, as reported by Sky Sports.
Pogba has been impressive once again this season, making him not just a key man for Juventus but also one of the first names on the team sheet for France.
The box to box dynamo left Manchester United in 2012 after he failed to agree a new deal with then boss Sir Alex Ferguson, but David Moyes is keen to bring him back this summer.
Chelsea and Paris St Germain also want the £30million rated star but Pogba is not thinking about leaving Juventus just yep.
"I am not thinking about that, as I am focused only on the pitch," Pogba told Mediaset
"Juventus want to keep me at all costs? That makes me happy. I am thinking only about doing well on the field, then we'll see."
Pogba has two years remaining on his current deal in Turin but may well be offered a new contract this summer if he turns down a move elsewhere.
