1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to furnaces for reacting a gas capable of an exothermic reaction phase followed by an endothermic reaction phase. More particularly, the present invention relates to a furnace for producing a protective atmosphere of 40% N2, 40% H2, and 20% CO (nominally).
2. Description of the Prior Art
Numerous industrial operations require a protective or shielding atmosphere such as a 40% N2, 40% H2, and 20% CO (nominally) atmosphere. These industrial applications include the hardening of medium and high carbon steels, the annealing and normalizing of carbon steels, carburizing carbonitriding, copper and silver brazing and sintering.
It has been known that a protective atmosphere containing a nominally 40% N2, 40% H2, and 20% CO (with residual CO2, H2 O and CH4) could be produced by the cracking of a hydrocarbon gas over a catalyst bed at high temperature. The hydrocarbon gas could include such gases as natural gas, propane, butane, of MFG (manufactured gas). Further, furnaces or generators have been known for carrying out such a cracking process. One such furnace is the HYEN endothermic generator manufactured by the Lindberg Company of Chicago, Ill.
The HYEN endothermic generator is illustrated in FIG. 1. It consists of an elongated tubular metallic housing 2 having a length of from approximately 45 to approximately 69 inches and a diameter of approximately 8 inches. The tube has a closed bottom 4 including a reaction gas inlet 6 and insulation layer 8. The top of the tube is also closed except for reacted gas outlet 10. A reacted gas passage 12 adjacent the top of the tube includes insulation 14.
Screen 16 is supported by the insulation 8 and prevents the catalyst from plugging the gas inlet 6. Over the screen is placed material having good heat transfer characteristics, such as alundum chips 18, while the remainder of the tube is filled with catalyst material. The catalyst material is in the form of porous 1/2" to 1" cubes or spheres impregnated with nickel oxide.
The furnace is normally located within an insulating jacket (not shown). Heat may be supplied to the furnace by either surrounding the furnace with electric resistance coils (not shown) or by supplying hot combustion gases to the interior of the insulating jacket.
In use, a reaction gas, such as natural gas, is mixed with air in a carburetor and the mixture enters the furnace at the bottom inlet pipe 6. The catalytic cracking of the hydrocarbon gas in the mixture is a two phase reaction; the reaction has a first exothermic phase followed by a subsequent endothermic phase. As the reaction gas mixture enters into the alundum chip bed, it is heated by the heat source until the gas mixture reaches minimum temperature for exothermic combustion to commence (approximately 1170� F.). The heat liberated during the exothermic phase is absorbed by the gas mixture raising its temperature into the endothermic range which commences at approximately 1750� F. During the endothermic phase, heat from the heat source is required to maintain the reaction gas temperature above 1750� F. until the cracking process is completed.
The insulation 14 in the reacted gas passage prevents premature cooling of the reacted gas and the reacted gas product exits at 10 at a temperature of approximately 1700�.
For example, a mixture of one part natural gas to 2.44 parts air was preheated to 200� F., introduced into the HYEN generator and reacted at a rate of 1513 cubic feet per hour (CFH). Heating power was supplied to the generator at the rate of 17.77 kilowatts per hour (KW/HR). The reacted gas exited the generator at 1700� F. with a dew point of 28.8� F., a methane content of 0.46%, a carbon dioxide content of 0.65%, a carbon monoxide content of approximately 20%, a hydrogen content of approximately 40%, and a nitrogen content of 40%.
However, the HYEN endothermic generator described above has several shortcomings. First, it fails to provide a uniformity of gas heating during the reaction process. When the gas first enters the bottom of the catalyst bed 20 this area has been heated by a combination of heat supplied by the heat source and exothermic reaction taking place in the alundum chip bed. As the reaction gas travels up through the catalyst bed, all additional heat needed to continue the endothermic reaction must be supplied by the heat source.
Since this reaction is initially exothermic, heat is created and driven into the center portion of the 8" diameter furnace retort forcing complete exothermic reaction throughout the first approximately 12" height of the alundum chip bed and the lower portion of the catalyst bed within the retort. Factually, this area is not entirely exothermic as the dissociation of H2 O (water vapor) and CO2 (carbon dioxide) are endothermic and also occur in this area simultaneously.
Further, because of the relatively large 8" diameter of the generator retort 2 and the insulating quality of the catalyst bed therein, there is insufficient heat penetration into the center portion of the catalyst bed.
Therefore, a "cold spot" is formed in the center of the generator retort where the temperature is below the desired reaction range, and the gas moving through this cold spot is deprived of heat during the final portion of the travel through the generator retort. As a result, in order to provide sufficient heat so that all of the gas is reacted, it is necessary to raise the heat source temperature gas to approximately 200� to 300� F. higher than the minimum cracking temperature in order to assure that all reacting gas within the generator is above 1750� F., the minimum cracking temperature. The reacted gas entering the insulated area 14 thus ranges in temperature from approximately 1750� F. to 1800� F. and exits the retort at approximately 1700� F.
If a proper reaction does not take place due to insufficient heating to the central core of the catalyst bed, the residual methane (CH4) content can drop out as carbon soot by the reaction CH4 →C+2H2.
Further, excessive sooting can take place downstream of the reacted gas outlet 10 if cooling is too slow to "freeze" the reverse reaction (2 CO→C+CO2), thereby producing carbon if the temperature drops too slowly through the range of 1250� to 900� F.
Further, it is necessary to provide the reaction gas with a head temperature of 200� F. to 300� F. to assure that a proper reaction takes place which also requires excessive amounts of energy at the furnace heat source.
Further, the need for a 200�-300� F. head temperature requires the need for a higher grade of alloy retort and electric heating element material and furnace refractory insulation resulting in excessive material costs.
Further, since the reacted gas leaving the furnace at approximately 1700� F. temperature enters immediately into a heat exchanger, following the furnace, in order to cool the gas to a useful processing temperature (approximately 150� F.), all the heat within the reacted gas on leaving the catalyst bed, and removed by the heat exchanger (ΔT 1700� F.←→150� F.), is thereby being wasted.
Finally, because of the high temperature involved, more expensive construction material must be used and the life of the material is shortened.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a generator or furnace for producing a protective atmosphere gas of 40% N2, 40% H, 20% CO (nominally) which requires less heating energy than that of the prior art.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a furnace or generator for a protective atmosphere gas wherein the reacted gas exiting the generator is substantially lower than 1700� F. by releasing some of its energy to preheat the incoming unreacted gas.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a furnace or generator for a protective atmosphere gas which utilizes the heat from the exothermic portion of the reaction to eliminate the "cold area" in the center of the retort catalyst bed, thereby achieving a more uniformly reacted gas at a lower furnace heat source temperature.
It is a further object of the present invention to produce a two pass furnace or generator for producing a protective atmosphere gas which can also be converted from the prior art generator by a simple retrofit.
Accordingly, the present invention consists of a two pass generator constructed of a pair of concentric tubes. The reaction gas can be introduced at the top of the inner one of the concentric tubes and flows through the tube towards the catalyst bed at the bottom of the tube. After passing through vent holes at the bottom of the inner tube, the reaction gas passes through additional catalyst material and completes the reaction process. The hot reacted gases then pass through the space between the inner and outer tubes before exiting the furnace adjacent the top thereof. The reaction gas initially entering the inner tube is therefore preheated by the already reacted gas which is passing upwardly through the space between the tubes on the other side of the inner tube. Therefore, the excessive heat contained in the exiting gas can be transferred to the entering gas for raising its temperature prior to the exothermic phase of the reaction. As the preheated entry gas passes into the alundum chip bed within the inner tube, it is further heated by the heat from the exothermic phase prior to entering the catalyst bed in the lower portion of the inner tube, commencing the endothermic phase prior to entering the area between the inner and outer retort tubes where the heat required for the endothermic reactions is supplied to the retort by the furnace heat source. Further, because of the higher reacted gas temperature achieved in the inner tube prior to exiting into the area between the inner tube and outer retort wall and the smaller cross section of the catalyst bed in this "doughnut" shaped area a more uniform and penetrating heat from the furnace heat source reduces the temperature gradient in the outer catalyst bed area thereby reducing the "head" temperature of the furnace heat source while maintaining a uniform temperature for the endothermic reaction.
The reacted gas is finally passed back through the upper recuperator portion in the passage between the inner and outer tubes and exits the generator. Because it is not necessary to avoid a "cold spot" as in the prior art, the maximum temperature within the generator or furnace can be kept down to approximately 1800�. Further, because the recuperator permits the recovery of a portion of the heat, the exit temperature is approximately 1300� F., thereby requiring a ΔT from 1300� to 150� F. in the downstream heat exchanger which facilitates a much more rapid chilling through the reverse reaction range of 1250� F. to 900� F. while recuperating the heat in the ΔT from 1700� F. to 1300� F. within the retort.
A more complete appreciation of the invention and many of the attendant advantages thereof will be readily obtained as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of a prior art generator;
FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of the generator of the present invention.
The generator of the present invention is shown in FIG. 2. The generator consists of an outer tube 102 which may be identical to the outer tube 2 of the prior art. The outer tube is held within an insulation jacket 130 and is supported within the jacket at flanges 132. An inner tube 134 lies concentrically within the outer tube 102, thereby defining an elongated "doughnut" or annular space between the tubes. The annular space, as well as the space within the inner tube, are divided into a recuperator portion 136 adjacent the top of the generator, and a reactor portion 138 in the lower section of the generator. The reactor portion preferably constitutes 2/3 of the length of the generator.
A reaction gas inlet is formed as an inlet pipe 140 extending concentrically into the inner pipe from the top thereof. A reacted gas outlet 142 extends transversely from the annular space to the outside of the generator adjacent the top thereof.
The inner and outer tubes are preferably formed of a heat resistant metallic alloy.
The bottom, top and side walls of the generator are lined with insulating material, as is the top plug 146. Further, the annular space in the recuperator portion is also lined with insulating material to thereby leave a relatively narrow annular space 148 between the wall of the inner tube and the insulating material on the inner wall of the outer tube at the recuperator portion.
Both the lower portion of the inner tube and the annular space within the reactor portion are filled with a bed of catalyst material 150. The catalyst material may be of any type which will promote an endothermic reaction of the introduced gases, but preferably consists of porous brick impregnated with NiN2 and fired to form Ni O. The brick is preferably in the form of stacked 11/16 inch cubes, but other sizes or shapes are possible. Vent holes 152 in the walls of the inner tube adjacent the bottom thereof, permit the passage of reacting gas from the catalyst bed within the inner tube to the catalyst bed within the annular space. The precise number and diameter of the holes depends upon the flow rate of gas through the generator and should be selected so that the back pressure within the inner tube is not excessive. A bed of alundum chips 153 is positioned above the catalyst 150 within the inner tube.
Heat can be provided to the space 154 between the insulating jacket and the outer tube by either gas combustion (not shown) or electric resistance heaters 156.
In use, a hydrocarbon gas such as natural gas, propane, butane, or MFG. gas is mixed with air and is introduced into the reaction gas inlet pipe 140. As the reaction gas passes downwardly through the recuperator portion of the inner tube, it absorbs heat from the wall of the inner tube 134 which has been heated by the reacted gas passing upwardly through the annular passage 148. Because of the relatively small diameter (3 inches) of the inner tube, the surface friction effects of the inner tube are relatively large which causes turbulence within the pipe and mixing of the gas within the pipe so that the temperature across the diameter of the inner pipe is relatively uniform. Further, because of the relatively small diameter of the inner pipe, heat need only penetrate approximately an inch and a half in order to heat the gas within the pipe to combustion temperature. When the preheated gas reaches the top of the alundum chip bed 153 within the inner pipe, its temperature is raised even further by the heat generated from the exothermal reaction occurring within this area. Again, because of the relatively small diameter of the inner tube, heating along the length of the exothermic area of this tube is relatively uniform and the minimum temperature at any point in the tube is not substantially under the minimum temperature needed for the endothermic reaction in the annular space outside this tube.
As the reaction continues, the reacted gas passes through the vent holes 152 and into the annular space between the tubes. The reaction moves from the exothermal phase to the endothermal phase at approximately the same time that the gas passes through the vent holes.
As the reacting gas passes upward through the annular space between the tubes, the endothermal reaction absorbs the heat necessary for this reaction which is provided by the external heat source, through the metallic walls of the outer tube. The reacted gas then passes upward through passage 148 and transfers additional heat to the incoming gas within the inner tube in the recuperator portion. The insulation within the recuperator portion prevents the heat from the reacted gas from being transferred outside of the generator.
The cooled, reacted gas exits the generator at outlet pipe 142 at a temperature of about 1300�-1400� F. The outlet has has, therefore, been rapidly cooled to just above the reverse reaction temperature range (900�-1250� F.), thus making the freezing reaction in the heat exchanger an easier task thereby limiting the production of soot in the reverse reaction range when using only an air heat exchanger.
Because of the relatively even heating across the annular doughnut shaped endothermic reaction area, the maximum temperature within the generator can be held at close to the 1750� F. temperature necessary for the reaction to take place; that is, around 1800� F. Because the maximum temperature is thus about 150� F. less than that required in the prior art, less expensive construction material may be used and the input of outside heat can be decreased. Further, the lower reacted gas outlet temperature, in addition to reducing the soot output of the generator, eliminates the need for an expensive water cooled heat exchanger between the generator and an air cooled heat exchanger.
A mixture of one part natural gas to 2.42 parts air was introduced into the generator of the present invention. A heating power of 11.87 kilowatts per hour was used to raise the gas to a control temperature of 1800� F. The output gas had a volume of 1514 cubic feet per hour, a methane content of 0.44%, a dew point of 20� F., a carbon dioxide content of 0.24%, a nitrogen content of 40%, a hydrogen content of 39%, and a carbon monoxide content of 20%.
Natural gas and air at a ratio of one part gas to 2.47 parts air was introduced into the generator of the present invention and a heating power of 11.87 kilowatts per hour was introduced to raise the control temperature of 1800� F. The output volume of 1506 cubic feet per hour had a methane content of 0.32%, a dew point of 30.8� F. and a carbon dioxide percentage of 0.33%+N2, H2 and CO.
It can therefore be seen that, due to the lower control temperature and the use of a recuperator, that the generator of the present invention utilizes significantly less energy that that of the prior art. Further, even if the temperature is raised to 1950� F., as in the prior art, there is still an energy savings as illustrated by the Example below.
Natural gas and air were mixed at a ratio of 1 to 2.41 and introduced into the generator of the present invention. A heating power of 16.41 kilowatts per hour was used to raise the control temperature to 1950� F. The output gas had a volume of 1517 cubic feet per hour, a methane content of 0.5%, a dew point of 22� F. and a carbon dioxide content of 0.57%. A heating power of 1.36 kilowatts per hour was, therefore, saved even using a 1950� F. control temperature.
The prior art HYEN generator can be easily retrofit to produce the generator of the present invention. It is merely necessary to remove the top and bottom plugs and catalyst from the prior art generator. The outer shell and insulation jacket need not be modified, except for the positioning of the gas outlet pipe 142. The inner tube 134 and catalyst bed may then be easily introduced for a relatively simple retrofit.
Obviously, numerous modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specficially described herein.

Days later, Poulter revisits rules miscue
The garrulous Englishman incurred a one-stroke penalty when in the course of replacing his ball on the putting green he inadvertently dropped it on his specially-made platinum ball marker -- his "lucky" coin -- causing it to move. That made his 40-foot birdie putt into a par putt, which he missed. Robert Karlsson sank a 4-footer for birdie that made the penalty moot, but it was yet another bizarre ending to a golf tournament in a year full of odd conclusions.
"I don't think I could do it again if I tried," Poulter said while taking a break from a practice session. To prove it, he did try, tossing a golf ball at the quarter-sized coin a dozen times before he finally managed to make it flip over as it did Sunday at the European Tour's season-ending event. "You can see how ridiculous it is that I could drop it just so and make it move. But it happened."
A jeweler in Phoenix made the coin for the No. 8 player in the world following his victory in the Accenture Match Play Championship in February. The platinum coin is thicker than a normal U.S. coin and features the diamond-encrusted names of his three children, Aimee, Libby and Luke.
Poulter said he hasn't lost any sleep over the incident. "I slept 11 hours last night," he volunteered. "Because of where it was and when it happened and what it meant it couldn't have happened at a worse time. It put a real focus on another ridiculous rule. But I'm fine with it. Now if the situation had been reversed and I'd have had the 4-footer to win, that could have been an ugly finish. I might still not be talking to anyone."

Creamer seeking to make up for lost time
ORLANDO, Fla. - A good year? A great year? With a U.S. Women's Open victory at Oakmont, it's hard to say 2010 wasn't the latter for Paula Creamer. But as hard-earned and memorable as her maiden major-championship triumph was - coming as it did less than four months after surgery on her left thumb - it is her only win of the season.
That gives Creamer, who is No. 10 on the money list despite playing only 13 events because of her injury, all the more reason to finish 2010 with a victory at this week's LPGA Tour Championship where she is taking a bit of a backseat to the handful of players battling it out for player of the year and the top spot in the Rolex Rankings.
Not only is it a home game for the 24-year-old Creamer, who lives about 15 minutes from Grand Cypress GC, but the layout's fast and sloping greens aren't a bad thing to someone who conquered Oakmont's diabolical putting surfaces. "This course is all about the greens," Creamer said Tuesday. "You can't spend enough time [practicing] putting and chipping. I heard by Sunday they're going to be 12 ¿ on the Stimpmeter. They're not as fast as Oakmont. You lag so much there, even from 10 or 15 feet. Here you can be aggressive in some places even though you're playing three or four feet of break. The speed around the hole, it doesn't get away from you."
After winning the Open, Creamer didn't contend in the next half-dozen events but comes into this week with T-4s in her last two starts. The thumb, on which she had an operation March 30 to repair stretched ligaments and a hyperextension, is still a work in progress. "I still don't have much mobility, but my pain is a lot better and the swelling isn't as bad," she said. "Right after I used to play, my hand would just blow up - it's not doing that as much anymore. They said a year [to heal completely]. That'll be the end of March. Hopefully, after that, I won't have any pain."

Tiger might not want to watch this 'Law and Order'
On the eve of Tiger Woods' tournament, the Chevron World Challenge, outside Los Angeles, NBC will air an episode of Law and Order Los Angeles that on its website is described this way:
"The investigation of a seemingly simple crime reveals a pro golfer's sordid web of sex, lies and blackmail."
Or as the Associated Press describes it: "The plot on Wednesday's show includes a philandering golf star and his club-wielding wife. When police arrive, the bleeding athlete says his spouse was merely attempting to rescue him -- in this case, from their swimming pool rather than a wrecked car."The AP's version is confirmed in this trailer for the episode.

Would players play Johnny Miller's tourney?
So that is the upside. The downside is that such an event could be rife with complications. As Miller told Jaime Diaz in the December issue of Golf Digest, he would aspire to preside over a tour event much in the way Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer do with the Memorial and Bay Hill, respectively.
Both Nicklaus and Palmer have succeeded in producing an upper-tier tour event in large part because both are almost universally beloved or at least respected by today's players. In short, when Jack or Arnie asks you to play their event, you're rarely in a position to say no. But what if the person asking is a former player with whom few current players have a close relationship, and who has never been shy about pointing out their shortcomings?
While many players when asked about Miller will say they've learned to take his analysis in stride -- "Overall, Johnny is good for golf," Jim Furyk told Diaz -- it's hard to imagine them revamping their schedule for him. And that leads to another awkward dynamic: wouldn't Miller's analysis of players inevitably be influenced if they began snubbing him?
Sure, this is all premature, especially when considering an event at Silverado is little more than a brainstorm at this point. But it is something that might give the PGA Tour pause when it's time to consider going into business with Miller.

LPGA needs 'another great American like Annika'
This amusing anecdote came at the end of a Q&A columnist Ken Willis of the Daytona Beach News-Journal conducted with LPGA commissioner Mike Whan, in response to Willis' question as to whether the success of the tour depends on having American stars:
"I took the job in January," Whan replied. "In February I get an email. Older guy, from Phoenix, and he writes, 'Commissioner Whan, your tour will never be great again until you get another great American like Annika Sorenstam at the top of the list.' I read it three or four times. There's no doubt, this guy thinks Annika is American. The point is, don't think Americans won't embrace stars that weren't born here."
Sorenstam, of course, is a native of Sweden.

GCAA gets extension on recruiting recommendations
After several requests by the GCAA over the past month, explaining the timing of its convention (Dec. 6-9) and its ability to assist in coming to a consensus, the Division I Recruiting and Athletics Personnel Cabinet agreed to extend the deadline until Dec. 13, allowing for discussions and voting on various proposals currently under consideration when the GCAA membership convenes in Las Vegas.
What the coaches will likely be deliberating on are two proposals offered from the GCAA's National Advisory Board. The proposals were expected to be e-mailed to coaches this morning.
* A model that offers specific number of days that coaches can recruit off campus, leaving it up to the coach as to when to use the days.
* A hybrid model that limits the number of days of coaches can recruit while also including dead and/or dark periods for recruiting during the year.
Earlier in the month, the GCAA sent out to 304 Division I head coaches a variation of the hybrid proposal, asking respondents to vote on the concept in one of three ways: yes I approve; yes I approve but with conditions; or no, I don't approve. The GCAA received 167 responses, with approximately 40 percent voting yes, 33 percent voting yes with conditions and 27 percent voting no. Following that, the NAB decided to add a recruiting days proposal for consideration.
Still unresolved in either proposal is the exact number of days coaches would be allowed to recruit as well as what dates would be included in dead or dark periods. The original hybrid proposal floated by the GCAA included a quiet period (where coaches would not be allowed to recruit off campus) from the end of the early signing period in November through January. However, the AJGA's Polo Junior Golf Classic and the Annika Invitational as well as the Junior Orange Bowl International Golf Championship each fall within those dates, raising concerns for some.

Tiger Woods Dubai: From oasis to mirage
The desert scrub that it was designed to replace is threatening to reclaim the dormant project known as Tiger Woods Dubai, Woods' first golf course design, as the Guardian's Lawrence Donegan reports today from Dubai.
"The Tiger Woods Dubai: a dust-bowl, an empty car park, an 'Arabian palace' as real as a Hollywood film set," Donegan writes. "Like so much else in post-boom Dubai, the palace is a facade, propped up by wooden beams. Behind it lies a collection of portable cabins that in the glory days of the economic boom served as a sales office. These days the salesmen have gone, to be replaced by a handful of cleaners and maintenance staff trying to keep alive what is left of the $1.1bn fantasy."
Only six holes were completed and the remaining 12 never got beyond the outline stage. Will it ever get done, Donegan asks? "Who knows? It could be great if it ever gets finished, but we don't know if it will ever get finished," says one member of the staff. "They better make a decision soon because we are struggling to keep the desert at bay."
The upshot: "A decision is expected before February, when Woods will arrive here to play in the Dubai Desert Classic," Donegan writes. "The smart money around town is on the return to nature. After all what use is a billionaires playground when there are no billionaires?"

Westwood overtakes Woods on Twitter, too
A few days after Tiger Woods gleefully announced he was taking on Twitter ("Yep, it's me. I think I like this twitter thing"), Lee Westwood entered the fray and already has surpassed Woods, at least on the frequency and entertainment fronts.
Woods has more than a quarter-million followers, though what they're following is a mystery. He hasn't posted in nearly a week and has posted just twice since the aforementioned announcement on Nov. 17.
Westwood, conversely, began his Twitter career on Nov. 24 and has quickly embraced it, and has proved entertaining to boot, usually at the expense of his European Tour friends. A sampling:
-- "@McIlroyRory Thanks Rory. I'm just pleased I wasn't stood next to you when that flock of sea gulls flew over!"
Westwood is referring to McIlroy's new blond locks over which he has taken much grief.
-- "Out at 11.50 and hate to rub it in but it's about 85 and not a cloud in the sky! Poults is in the locker room doing his makeup!"
-- "Poults looking very bland in black and White ! More penguin than peacock!"
-- Earlier this month, of course, Westwood supplanted Woods as the No. 1 player in the World Ranking.
UPDATE: Woods just went up with his third post since Nov. 17: "Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. I just finished a pretty tough cardio session this morning because of all the apple and pumpkin pie."

Speakup Pointed Toe Flats 175 175
Great "Painterly" Shoe! Had been wanting to play with the "painterly" trend. What a great way to literally dip your toe in the look. Have several pairs of the Speakups Pointed Toe Flats. Great quality, fit, style AND price. Thanks Nine West! May 14, 2015
Great Flat This is my 4th pair of this shoe! I love them! The fit is great, that are very comfortable and stylish. I have in leather, suede and fabric and they all fit and feel the same. Would love to have more fabric options for summer. This white print is great with so many outfits. May 13, 2015
Gorgeous flats! I found these flats when they were featured in the March 2015 Better Homes & Gardens issue. I'm usually hesitant to order pointed toe flats without trying them on first but I loved the floral so much I couldn't wait any longer. I'm SO glad I ordered these! They run true to size and are comfortable without being too tight or feeling like they could fall off. There is plenty of room in the toe of the foot so my toes aren't crammed in like in other flats I've purchased from other brands. HIGHLY recommend these gorgeous flats! April 14, 2015
Nice shoe This is a nice shoe, goes well with jeans or ankle pants. Only a little narrow. I can still wear it and it will probably stretch a little. April 11, 2015

Rename printf -> kprintf in sys/ and add some defines where necessary (files which are used in userland, too).
Major BUF/BIO work commit. Make I/O BIO-centric and specify the disk or file location with a 64 bit offset instead of a 32 bit block number. * All I/O is now BIO-centric instead of BUF-centric. * File/Disk addresses universally use a 64 bit bio_offset now. bio_blkno no longer exists. * Stackable BIO's hold disk offset translations. Translations are no longer overloaded onto a single structure (BUF or BIO). * bio_offset == NOOFFSET is now universally used to indicate that a translation has not been made. The old (blkno == lblkno) junk has all been removed. * There is no longer a distinction between logical I/O and physical I/O. * All driver BUFQs have been converted to BIOQs. * BMAP, FREEBLKS, getblk, bread, breadn, bwrite, inmem, cluster_*, and findblk all now take and/or return 64 bit byte offsets instead of block numbers. Note that BMAP now returns a byte range for the before and after variables.
* Remove (void) casts for discarded return values. * Put function types on separate lines. * Ansify function definitions. In-collaboration-with: Alexey Slynko <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Style(9) cleanup to src/sys/vfs, stage 6/21: hpfs. - Convert K&R-style function definitions to ANSI style. Submitted-by: Andre Nathan <email@example.com> Additional-reformatting-by: cpressey
kernel tree reorganization stage 1: Major cvs repository work (not logged as commits) plus a major reworking of the #include's to accomodate the relocations. * CVS repository files manually moved. Old directories left intact and empty (temporary). * Reorganize all filesystems into vfs/, most devices into dev/, sub-divide devices by function. * Begin to move device-specific architecture files to the device subdirs rather then throwing them all into, e.g. i386/include * Reorganize files related to system busses, placing the related code in a new bus/ directory. Also move cam to bus/cam though this may not have been the best idea in retrospect. * Reorganize emulation code and place it in a new emulation/ directory. * Remove the -I- compiler option in order to allow #include file localization, rename all config generated X.h files to use_X.h to clean up the conflicts. * Remove /usr/src/include (or /usr/include) dependancies during the kernel build, beyond what is normally needed to compile helper programs. * Make config create 'machine' softlinks for architecture specific directories outside of the standard <arch>/include. * Bump the config rev. WARNING! after this commit /usr/include and /usr/src/sys/compile/* should be regenerated from scratch.
proc->thread stage 5: BUF/VFS clearance! Remove the ucred argument from vop_close, vop_getattr, vop_fsync, and vop_createvobject. These VOPs can be called from multiple contexts so the cred is fairly useless, and UFS ignorse it anyway. For filesystems (like NFS) that sometimes need a cred we use proc0.p_ucred for now. This removal also removed the need for a 'proc' reference in the related VFS procedures, which greatly helps our proc->thread conversion. bp->b_wcred and bp->b_rcred have also been removed, and for the same reason. It makes no sense to have a particular cred when multiple users can access a file. This may create issues with certain types of NFS mounts but if it does we will solve them in a way that doesn't pollute the struct buf.

"FEMINA POTENS: A DECADE OF ART, SEX AND FEMINISM" Femina Potens has been a powerful figure in San Francisco since 2001, working as a community-building multidisciplinary arts organization conducting programs that authentically explore the experiences of queer women, transgender people and others living outside the female-malegender binary. Now, it's time to tell the whole story. "Femina Potens: A Decade of Art, Sex and Feminism" is an art book-in-process by Madison Young, founder of Femina Potens. The organization has apast rich in cultural and artistic history. To jog your memory, check out the FP Timeline. We are looking for YOUR submissions of content for the book.

Brit is the illustrator for the book, but also makes work as a sculptor, painter and installation artist. Her pieces have been featured in multiple Femina Potens gallery shows over the past few years. Brit's interactive, mixed-media installation for the FP "My Mommy is a Love Artist" exhibit is now showing at the Blue Dahlia Gallery. Ahna: Hi, thanks for meeting with me. Brit: Hi, thanks for letting me meet with you, or something. A: I've been stalking you online in preparation for this interview and in one bio write-up you say that you wanted to "be an astronaut or a doctor when (you) grew up; things changed". Instead you became what you refer to as a "physical philosopher". What first brought you to making art? B: We had a family friend who was an artist, and he would draw with me. He recognized some sort of talent. I was really good at it. That was the reason I got through grade school, I think; I drew everything instead of writing it. A: You majored in sculpture in college but now work in multiple mediums. What keeps you moving between different processes? B: I work as a sculpture technician for the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I work with the faculty and students, and the mediums that are available to me are incredibly extensive. Each one lends itself to having a certain amount of potential. All of this inspiration around you and every object has this little thing about it that you want to toy with. A: Do you still work in sculpture most of the time? B: Yes, primarily. My work ethic has been pretty lazy lately, to say the least, but I have a plan that is definitely sculptural as well as a printmaking studio that a friend of mine is currently working on in the East Bay, so hopefully I'll start silk-screening; I have ideas, I just need to do them. Execution is the key.

It has been a time for reflection. Reflecting on the past decade of programming that our organization has provided for our community. Revisiting our mission statement and dreaming a new future. In March of this year I gave birth to a daughter. A little girl that I am absolutely in love with. And at that moment my entire world expanded, shifted and changed. I was always terrified when people told me that having a child changes everything. I'm a virgo, I like stability and change can be incredibly frightening. Change can also open something up in us that we didn't know existed. Allow us to care for one another on a deeper level. Allow us to dig deeper into ourselves. Discover new fountains of inspiration and passion that we would have never known. We are renewed. After a decade of providing some of the most innovative and ground breaking artistic programming in San Francisco, Femina Potens is ready to dig deeper. We are ready to create change on a more National and Global front. We are looking forward, to our future generation of artists as well as honoring our teachers and leaders in community activism and the arts. So what can you expect at Femina Potens? You can expect new innovative programs such as ArtGasm, Healthy Community, Fist Full of Film, & FP Family. In order to reach a global audience we are broadcasting programming online at FeminaPotens.org, organizing events in NYC and LA, and will be featuring articles, exhibits, artist profiles, & forums on our new FeminaPotens web site. We will be releasing annual art books featuring artists works that have been exhibited at Femina Potens, releasing documentary films on our featured artists, & producing anthologies of written works by Femina Potens featured writers that are workshopped through our Sizzle program.

Collaboration – The Big C – Do Not Wait!
Collaboration is one of the 4C's that propels our district's 21st century vision of learning along with Creativity, Critical Thinking and Communication. Collaboration is the big C that embraces the others and makes them stronger. Learners love to connect and share their knowledge in the classroom with each other and their desire to experience and share beyond walls is obvious. As they think, communicate and create collaboratively, the learning becomes larger. I am reminded of one collaborative project with first grade students, Hands Around the World, and how we worked to squeeze this project into the end of the year. It was a huge learning process for all learners including myself. Why should we wait to the end of the year when we have many resources and digital learning tools such as Edmodo and Wikispaces? Connect with a project or begin your own and collaboratively share your learners' knowledge with others. Do not wait!
Five for Friday – Global Collaborative Connections
A great place to start is The Global Classroom Project, where teachers and students share on the global stage. Their wikispace shares ways to follow via twitter and facebook. Be sure to check out the Craze Crazes, under What's Happening?

Banned Eva Mendes Ad
American television execs are continuing to just say no to nipples on air. Eva Mendes' new ad for Calvin Klein has been banned from U.S. networks. The ad shows Eva rolling around topless while musing on love, madness, and obsession. Turns out Calvin Klein execs already knew how prude we Americans are before producing the ad. They just didn't care.

With a story like no other, we bring you Starbuck - a touching tale of one man's reunion with his kids.
142 of them. 142 of 533 that he is assumed to have fathered in fact.
Not revealing too much, the comedy is a journey of growth through the eyes of infantile 42-year-old David Wozniak, a meat delivery driver for his father's butcher business. After the news of his pregnant girlfriend, Wozniak is confronted with some other information, transporting him to his early 20s where in need of cash he became a popular donor at the local sperm bank under the egocentric nickname Starbuck. But he is not a pervert, as you will discover. Now, faced with debts, he is forced to make a decision between his current irresponsible lifestyle, or to embrace his newfound fatherhood.
Presented through subtitles, this wonderfully poignant French-Canadian comedy visits a variety of issues in an uplifting and memorable approach, with of course a little homo-activity thrown in just for fun.
The UK release date is November 23, although viewing locations are yet to be announced. Nonetheless get it down on your IMDB watchlist!
And just to get you on board, here's the trailer…

For years Barefoot Contessa has been on of my favourite Vancouver shopping destinations. Walking into Barefoot is like walking into the closet you've always dreamed of since you were a little girl. And trust me, it's nearly impossible to leave the store empty handed!
You can only imagine my excitement when they contacted me and asked if I'd like to style their window as part of a collaboration with local fashion bloggers. Following such amazing blogging talent such as The Anthology, Le Mode Du Jour, Miss Melissa, I'm The It Girl, Carolina Closet Full of Nothing, A Haute Mess, and Prairie Girl In The City was extremely intimidating! You can check out their blogs to see their window amazingness.
After a ton of brainstorming, I decided to do my window in a party theme. Think sparkles, glitz, and Holiday chic. November is my birthday month and the beginning of event season, so it's the perfect time to be searching for great party looks! Myself and Elim of The Style Seen have our window displays up until Wednesday November 10th.
Here is a little teaser of what I did for the window at Barefoot Contessa at Main and 21st...
Also check out Barefoot Contessa and participating local bloggers featured on FASHION Magazine's Blog! Thanks again to Lauren, Eva, and the team at Barefoot...you girls rock :D

Eyewitness: 'New York became a small town after 9/11'Written by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
NEW YORK CITY — On Sept. 11, 2001, Julia Torres Barden woke up and put on a red suit.
In Manhattan for a business convention, the New York native was looking forward to catching up with family and old friends over live salsa music at the Greatest Bar on Earth near the top of the World Trade Center later that evening.
Only a few hours later, the towers would lay in ruin and New York City would be changed forever.
"Growing up in New York, being friendly was the last thing we were ever taught to be because to be friendly and open exposed you to danger, exposed you to scam, exposed you to the dark side," Barden said. "I think a New Yorker's way of protecting ourselves is simply to be very, very suspect at all times. You can't let your guard down. Then 9/11 came and we had no choice but to be excruciatingly vulnerable. And people came from all over the world, so I think the city reevaluated its outlook."
Barden, who grew up in the South Bronx, lived with her husband and sons in Richmond, Va., in 2001. They have since moved to Toledo.
Favorite places
The day before 9/11, Barden was feeling contemplative and decided to visit some of her favorite places.
"I took the train out to Yankee Stadium and I took the train to Spanish Harlem and I was very reflective, very pensive, because it was beautiful weather and I'd just had a day off," Barden said. "That night I was talking to a lot of people, from my past, from my present. I said, 'Let's all go to the World Trade Center tomorrow, listen to salsa and just have a great night."
Talking on the phone to her aunt the next morning, Barden found it odd how poor the cell service was.
"Service is usually pretty good, but we keep getting disconnected two, three times," Barden said. "By the fourth time, I finally have to leave my room to be at the hotel by 9."
Walking through Times Square to the conference center, Barden came upon a large group of people congregated under an awning in front of a TV display.
"As a typical New Yorker, my first reaction is, 'F-ing tourists, I'm trying to get to my meeting,'" Barden said. "So I'm racing through, but the TVs are there and I see that one plane has already hit so I stop for a bit. A messenger on his bike pulls up right behind me and says, 'Some —hole just flew into the World Trade Center."
She was still standing there watching when the second plane hit.
"All of a sudden, we all got quiet and without thinking about it we all stepped out from under that covering to see the sky because it felt like, OK, now it's intentional. Is this Pearl Harbor? Are there more planes coming?" Barden said. "So we're standing there in horror digesting what's going on, and Times Square goes silent, which is terrifying."
A son in Virginia
Her thoughts flashed to her family at home in Virginia, her sister in Brooklyn. She suddenly felt very alone. She tried calling, but her cellphone wouldn't work. Deciding she would rather be with co-workers than alone, she continued to the convention center, where she watched both towers collapse on a TV in the hotel bar.
It was like watching part of her childhood crumble, Barden said.
"It was the most disorienting thing. Just surreal. It was like somebody had severed my arm," Barden said. "They were a family member to me because they started building them when I was young. Everybody in New York City would use those buildings as a compass. They were very comforting.
"Later, I realized I didn't hear it, I didn't feel it, and I'm only what? Three miles away, four miles tops? It just shocked me that we didn't feel anything. Now I just go into daze mode. Because this is my city, this is my town. What the hell just happened?"
Returning to her own hotel, Barden found a barrage of frantic messages on the landline phone.
"I very frequently stayed at the World Trade Center Mariott and my sister didn't know where I was staying, so she freaked out," Barden said. "She's just screaming and sobbing, 'Where are you? Where are you?'"
Barden's son, Jason Roundtree, now a 22-year-old college student, was in his seventh grade health class in Virginia when he learned of the attacks. He wasn't worried about his mom at first because he had forgotten she was there.
"I remember my teacher said a plane hit the tower. It was hard to wrap my brain around what was going on," Roundtree said. "The guidance counselor told me my mom had called and she was fine. It was a relief, but also made things worse because I remembered she was there.
"From a 12-year-old's perspective, I knew it was big, but then when I came home and was flipping through channels and even MTV had cut to a CNN feed and every single thing on TV was that, that kind of made me understand how important everything was. We basically just sat at home and watched TV all night and tried to figure it out."
With all roads out of the city closed and guardsmen in the streets, New York felt like a war zone, Barden said.
"I decided, I've got to get out of here the second this city will let me, because I'm a mom and that comes first," Barden said. "I wanted to get home for my son's birthday coming up. He was young and I just wanted him to have a normal birthday. But I was also upset to leave my city, because I really felt like a soldier. I wanted to stay and defend it, big time. But I left because I'm a mom."
It took two days, but a road out finally opened.
"On Thursday morning, about 10 a.m., one lane of the Lincoln Tunnel opened and I shot out of the hotel," Barden said. "I was so overwhelmed with emotions that I don't think I thought about how when you come out of that tunnel, you are going to see the destruction. Because I hadn't seen it. I hadn't even smelled it. And when I came out of the tunnel on the Jersey side, oh my God, that's when I saw the plume, the jagged remnants and I just lost it.
"I do have to be honest, I was relieved not to live in New York City. It pains me to say that, but I do wonder how those people are doing who didn't have the choice? How have they processed what they've been through? Those people who had apartments that came back to 6 inches of dust. Nobody helped them clean it. They cleaned it themselves. How could they not be physically impacted by what they inhaled? You could tell we were inhaling human remains. They continued to find fingers and toes on the roofs of the buildings around the area. So the recovery effort continues. I don't think the rest of the country always understands that. We're still in recovery mode, let alone rebuilding."
Once home, Barden dove straight back into family life, doing her best to act normal for her children.
"I tried really hard to switch gears quickly and I think in hindsight that probably wasn't such a good thing because PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) symptoms started to present two years later," Barden said. "I didn't appropriately grieve at the time. I just kept going on with my life."
Barden said the experience has made her a more patriotic person.
"In New York City growing up, the FDNY, the NYPD, we just took them for granted," Barden said. "The pictures of the FDNY climbing the stairs with all of that equipment, it's earth-shattering, really. It changed my life in terms of how I now look at our soldiers, and our police and our fire and our EMT guys."
Barden recently began serving on the national board of directors for the Alpha-1 Association, an organization raising awareness of a rare genetic enzyme deficiency that can leave lungs more prone to disease. She believes it's an undiagnosed factor that plays a role in the health issues developed by some 9/11 first responders.
"It's very cathartic and it's very rewarding in a twisted sense to have these two issues in my life kind of mesh around the 10th anniversary," Barden said.
Roundtree said the events of 9/11 forced his generation to rethink America's invincibility.
"We were raised with America as a powerhouse. We invent everything that's good in the world and nobody's going to stop us," Roundtree said. "[9/11] put it in perspective that people still don't like us and are able to do things about it and we are able to take damage. But that's the negative. On the positive side, I'd say we're closer together."
Barden agrees.
"New York became a small town immediately after 9/11. It was New York in a way I'd never seen it," Barden said. "There was no more stranger danger. We all knew we better support each other or we're screwed."
About three weeks after 9/11, Barden brought her sons to visit Ground Zero.
"It was weird how dusty everything was, I remember that," Roundtree said. "Like even with the doors closed, every inch of every store was covered in dust. It was really weird. It didn't smell normal. And no one was talking, which is strange in New York. It was pretty quiet."
It was on their way to a Mets game at Shea Stadium, near LaGuardia Airport, the next day that Barden heard on the radio the U.S. had started bombing Afghanistan.
"I swear to God, that crowd got quiet every time a plane went by the stadium," Barden said. "We'd all watch it. You could see the heads going from the left to the right and then we'd go back to the game."
Barden, who was already superstitious before the attacks, still has her little hang-ups.
A certain siren sound haunts her.
"There is a sound a fire truck makes that I have trouble listening to, and it's the do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do. That bird thing. I don't like that," Barden said. "The sirens just kept going, going, going."
She also shudders when she sees a clock at 9:11.
"It's not debilitating, but I take it easy until 9:12," Barden said. "I can't start my day on 9:11 and I can't go to bed at 9:11."
Barden said healing is a process; she often thinks she's gotten over something, only to have it return.
"It's an evolutionary process," Barden said. "Faith is a huge part of my recovery. There's no other way to make sense of what happened. I realized how close I was to dying that day. The plane flew over me, too."

By tully | "Boredom at Its Boredest" by Michael Tully January 19, 2008 at 1:00AM
What began as a nightmare travel day miraculously turned into one of those too-good-to-be-true scenarios that pretty much guarantees I'm going to sprain my ankle or get hit by a bus at some point this week. Nobody's wishes should ever come that true. But mine did yesterday, so I'll simply be thankful and hope that the good vibes continue.
I have to run, but I just wanted to say that so far I am in love with this festival. Granted, I haven't been to Main St. yet, so once I experience that busy madness maybe I'll feel differently.
Until we have some content uploaded to the new website, there's no need to point you in that direction. But by tomorrow, the ball will be rolling.
One more screening tonight, then it's off to eat pizza with the Zellner Bros. and karaoke with the Magnolia/Fantastic Fest crew. And then more sleep before the movie-watching marathon continues tomorrow...

Teacher: They smoked marijuana together, did you know that honey? Terri had THC in her system...
Older Teacher: She is pure trash.
Mother: <RIGHT HOOK TO TEH FASE>
Bad form on the punch, but it's hard to argue with the results. The look of shock and confusion on the teacher's face is priceless, and the sound of the impact is unbelievable. My favorite part is the two dudes standing the background just taking it easy.
My high school was full of people like this, though to my knowledge there were never fisticuffs between parents and teachers.

Both Green Wave basketball teams have cracked the state's Top 10 rankings.
After a 61-47 win at Colleton County Friday, the Summerville girls enter play this week ranked 10th in the South Carolina Basketball Coaches Association Class AAAA Girls' poll. Colleton began the season as the seventh-ranked team for the division, but Summerville has now defeated the Lady Cougars twice this season.
As was the case when the teams first met, Friday's rematch was thrilling.
"It was a great high school basketball game," Summerville coach Matt Legare said. "The atmosphere was high energy and both teams played with a lot of heart and effort. Overall, I think our depth helped us outlast a very good team on the road. I'm about as proud as I've ever been of a group of kids. Hopefully we can continue with that kind of effort and determination throughout the rest of the year."
Colleton jumped out to an 18-11 lead but then Zuri Green and Kwanza Murray sparked a series of fast breaks that resulted in an 8-0 Summerville run early in the second period.
In the third period, Jakaylah Ravanell came off the bench to provide some big minutes that helped Summerville keep pace with the Cougars. The senior converted a steal into a layup and hit two big jumpers in the period.
The turning point in the game came midway through the fourth when junior Heather Chapman made a couple of three-point plays the old fashioned way. First, she took a rebound coast to coast, making a layup and ensuing free throw after being fouled on her way to the basket. A possession later, she converted an offensive rebound into a putback and free throw to give Summerville a three-point lead.
Ashley Green, Murray and Tinara Brown all made free throws in the final minute to help preserve the victory.
Murray and Chapman both finished with 14 points on the night while Zuri Green had 12. Summerville improved to 16-4 on the season with a 6-0 mark in Region 8-AAAA with the win. Colleton fell to 16-3, 4-2.
After cracking the Top 10 earlier this month, on Monday the Summerville boys jumped up to the No. 8 spot in the Class AAAA poll. They earned a 66-47 win over Colleton Friday to improve to 16-4 on the season with a 6-0 mark in region play and can clinch the top playoff seeding for the region with a pair of victories this week. The Cougars fell to 4-10, 0-5.
The Green Wave was led by John Jenkins and Brandon Wilkerson, who both scored 22 points. Kelvon Bellinger, Timmy Singleton, Chris McKinnon, Xavier Robinson, Isaiah Kinloch and Christian Kalacanic also scored for Summerville.
Colleton was led by Latrell Niezes with 16 points and Hasin Nichols with 12.
The Cougars jumped out to an 18-16 lead at the end of the first period, but Summerville then outscored Colleton in each of the remaining periods. In the fourth, Summerville scored 25 while holding Colleton to 14.
The Summerville teams travel to Bluffton Friday.

In Access 2010 Power Shortcuts, Access expert Alicia Katz Pollock shares hundreds of tips and shortcuts to vastly increase efficiency and get the full power out of Access 2010. The course includes tips for working with the Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar, managing files, customizing and automating Access, rapid data entry and editing, working with tables, queries, forms, and reports, managing your database, and much more. Exercise files accompany the course.
Anytime you want to use or change your data, you need the highlight or select it first. Here are a variety of options for selecting data in your tables. Let's work from smallest to biggest. First, we will start with the field. Open up your Customers table and click on any piece of data. Then press the F2 key at the top of your keyboard. Toggling this key will switch you between selecting the entire field and inserting the cursor at the end of the content so you can edit it. To select an entire record, you can either click on the gray box to the left of the record or you can go up to the Home ribbon and the Find group and choose Select and Select.
The whole record will highlight. I can then do anything along with it. Copy it, Delete it, or Format it. To select a column, click on the Field name above the record and the whole column will highlight. I can then move it, sort it, highlight it or take other actions. To select the entire table, click on this little gray box in the upper left corner of the data, between the Field names and the record numbers and the whole table will get highlighted. You can also go back to that select button in the Find group and choose Select All.
This is great when you want to change the formatting on all the data at once. For example, I can go up and change the font quickly and easily. These selection options are very similar to Excel. When you use Microsoft Office a lot, the techniques become very intuitive.

The Ascent of Humanity by Charles Eisenstein
The Age of Separation, the Age of Reunion, and the convergence of crises that is birthing the transition
The following material is from the penultimate draft of The Ascent of Humanity. A few proofreading comments and footnotes haven't been incorporated, but overall, the content is 99% congruent with the print version of the book now available on Amazon.com.
I have put the entire text on line because I believe it is important for these ideas to circulate as widely as possible in the present time of crisis. In the book, I write of a coming shift from a profit-taking economy to a gift economy, from an economy of "how can I take the most?" to "how can I best give of my gifts?" This future, in which the anxiety of "making a living" no longer drives us, will arise out of the transformation in the human sense of self that is gathering today. But it is NOT ONLY A FUTURE. We can live it now too. It is in this spirit that I offer you The Ascent of Humanity on line.
The cover price of the 600-page print edition is $25. I leave it to you to decide what is a fair price for this online edition, and you are of course also welcome to read it for free. On the voluntary payment page linked below I explain a bit more about why I am not making people pay for this work. The planet is returning to the spirit of the Gift, and I am pleased to join in that turning.

The sounds of Banjos, Guitars…
and Fiddles spill out onto the beautiful streets of Downtown Galax, Virginia. Listen closely and follow the music to Barr's Fiddle Shop, a Galax icon for over 27 years. The walls are lined with fiddles, guitars, banjos and mandolins. The Barrs have been making handmade instruments well over 27 years. A well-stocked supply of strings, books, CDs and t-shirts as well as electric and bass guitars, drums and amps make Barrs a complete music resource.
The store is owned and operated by Tom and Stevie Barr. The local favorite Junior Brown is their one and only employee, but make no mistake about it is one heck of a salesman not to mention one of the friendliest guys you'll ever meet. Local musicians gather together at Barrs for jam sessions throughout the week. Anyone is welcome to come in and pick and grin. The Barrs take great pride in setting up all instruments sold from their shop and guarantee satisfication in your purchase or they will fix the instrument at no charge until you are satisfied.
Barr's Fiddle Shop offers…
a huge selection in musical supplies. The store is celebrating its 27th year of operation. Barr's Fiddle Shop has deep roots in the Galax community, dating back to 1979. Tom Barr first started building handmade instruments from his house in the Piper's Gap community of Grayson County, Virginia. In 1983 the fiddle shop moved to West Galax and shared occupancy with the local Goodwill store. Just above the shop was the best country-style restaurant in town called the West Galax Diner. Directly beside the fiddle shop was the local favorite barber shop which was full of musicians. In fact, the two barbers were two of the finest musicians in the whole area. Their names were Charles Hawks and Beverly Davis. Stevie Barr found his inspiration for playing the banjo from these two guys. Stevie got his business inspiration when he helped his father run the store, using a cigar box as a cash register when they first started out. Tom Brantley, Bobby Hicks, and Wade Petty
"I love bluegrass and oldtime music and support all the youth in any way to make sure this music lives forever!" Stevie Barr
Come in and enjoy the pictures and sounds at Barrs Fiddle Shop. We look forward to seeing you there.
