One of the most notable unbuilt developments of the last property cycle in Manchester was the three-block Origin, a collection of prismatically shaped buildings designed by Ian Simpson Architects.
The Emporium might sound like a new-age crystal market stall but it's actually a proposed mid-rise student tower for the heart of Birmingham.
Heeton Holdings leading a consortium of developers from Singapore that also includes the Lian Beng Group, Ryobi Kiso Holdings, and KSH Holdings has purchased the infamous British Gas site in Leeds, presently occupied by a decaying sixties tower, complete with broken windows and graffiti.
Architecturally, the once-great city of Coventry is dominated by post-war modenism and mid-rise concrete blocks. One of the epicentres of this sixties high-rise development was next to the now-listed railway station. Now however there are plans to demolish several of the towers in this area and construct an entirely new business district in what is the largest development of Coventry since the 1970s.
Millbank Tower, one of the first truly tall buildings in London, and so architecturally important it is a grade II listed structure, could be due a restoration with the conversion to hotel and apartments with a modest height increase.
Renzo Piano, famed as the architect of the Shard, has been designing a new skyscraper for London to sit on one of the entrances atop Paddington Station.
6-8 Bishopsgate and 150 Leadenhall Street form part of a small collection of quality Miesian slabs in the City of London that could soon be demolished if plans to build a new skyscraper on the site get the go-ahead.
New plans have been revealed for the latest version of 22 Bishopsgate, formerly known as the Pinnacle.
64 Buckingham Gate is a mid 70s international style office tower near Victoria. Along with the nearby Windsor House it marks the last hurrah of modernist style redevelopment in the area, particularly that which came at the expense of a controversial demolition of a historic building.
Work on replacing the bolts on the Leadenhall Building, popularly known as the Cheesegrater, is set to escalate in cost with the steel contractor Severfield looking at a bill of as much as £6 million.
One of the up and coming largest construction projects in London isn't the likes of Earl's Court or Stratford City but the renovation of the British Houses of Parliament, Palace of Westminster.
Plans to convert the historic TFL headquarters of 55 Broadway near London's Victoria into residential apartments have been approved by Westminster Council.

Shade perenials-evening sun
Hi I would like to know a perennial to plant in containers that would only get sun in late afternoon and evening. Can you recommend something colorful, maybe some kind of vine. Thanks
How large of a container are you planning to use? Most vines get quite large and would require a very large container to grow in. The vine would also need some type of support on which to grow. Also, how dense is the shade the rest of the day? Few perennial plants or vines flower well in dense shade. You may be better off planting something will colorful foliage that would be attractive all the time. Heucheras and heucherellas would be good choices. You could combine them with a groundcover that would drape down over the edges of the container. Vinca major, lamium, and lamiastrum are possibilities.

The present invention relates to the field of non-contact fluid marking devices commonly known as "ink-jet" or "fluid-jet" devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fluid-jet distribution bar and to methods for forming and assembling a fluid distribution bar used in such non-contact fluid marking devices for flowing fluid through an orifice plat.
Fluid-jet devices in and of themselves are well known. Typically, prior art fluid-jet devices provide a linear array of fluid-jet orifices formed in an orifice plate from which filaments of pressurized fluid (e.g., ink, dye, etc.) are caused to issue from a fluid supply channel. A controllable electrostatic charging electrode is disposed downstream of the orifice plate along the so-called "drop formation" zone. In accordance with well-known principles of electrostatic induction, the fluid filament is caused to assume an electrical potential opposite in polarity and related in magnitude to the electrical potential of its respective charging electrode. When a droplet of fluid separates from the filament, the induced electrostatic charge is then trapped on and in the droplet. Thus, subsequent passage of the charged droplet through an electrostatic field having the same polarity as the droplet charge will cause the droplet to be deflected away from a normal droplet path twoards a droplet catching structure. Uncharged droplets, on the other hand, proceed along a normal path and are eventually deposited upon a substrate.
It will be appreciated that the orifice plate has a linear array of very small orifices having diameters in the range, for example, of about 0.0013-0.01 inches. In fabricating fluid-jet devices of this general type, there is provided a fluid distribution bar having a plenum which supplies fluid to the orifice plate at uniform pressure and minimal turbulence. However, when the orifice array extends a substantial distance, for example 1.8 meters, and recognizing the extremely small orifice size, technical difficulties obtain in providing a uniform fluid supply for distribution through the orifices. For example, air bubbles in the fluid, when confronting the orifices of the orifice plate, have a tendency to prevent the fluid from flowing or distort the fluid flowing through the orifices. This results in a non-uniform flow curtain below the orifice plate, possible interference between adjacent flow streams issuing from the orifices, and possible canting of the flow streams from their desired direction perpendicular to the orifice plate.
Additionally, sagging in the middle of the distribution bar and, hence, the orifice plate, because of their relatively long lengths, must be avoided. Thus, structural problems are a consideration in the design of a distribution bar.
The present invention is directed to a fluid distribution bar and methods of assembly and operation of a fluid distribution bar for use in a fluid-jet printing apparatus. The present invention provides a fluid distribution bar having fluid distribution channels in communication with the orifice plate constructed such that uniform pressure and minimum eddies and turbulence occur in the fluid, the fluid being provided substantially free of air bubbles. To accomplish this, preferably three superposed distribution channels are provided along the bar. Each channel has a separate inlet and outlet. The lowermost and intermediate channels have upper surfaces which are shaped to direct gas, e.g., air bubbles, rising in the fluid in the channels to high points or apices located at longitudinally spaced positions along the channels. These high points are in communication through ports with the next higher channel whereby the air bubbles flow from the lower channel(s) into the higher channel(s). Additionally, the upper surfaces of the intermediate and lower channels are shaped and the ports located to minimize movement of the fluid and, hence, minimize eddy currents and turbulence. Additionally, those ports serve as fluid inlet ports for the lower channel which feeds fluid to the orifice plate for flow through the orifices. Baffles are provided in the form of bosses in the lower channel to avoid direct impingement of the fluid entering the lower chamber through the ports on the orifice plate. The channels are also formed to have smooth continuous uninterrupted surfaces throughout their lengths whereby corners, sharp turns and the like in the channels are avoided, as well as the turbulence and eddy currents associated with such flow paths
Additionally, in view of the substantial length of the distribution bar, the need to form the channels as indicated above, and to avoid deflections caused by the weight of the bar, the bar is preferably formed of cast metal. Preferably, the bar is formed from identically cast half-sections of stainless steel. Each half-section has portions of a plurality of internal channels configured, when the bar sections are mated to provide a non-turbulent, substantially damped, flow to the orifice plate. The identically cast half-sections of stainless steel are preferably formed in a conventional casting mold, such as a sand mold. These two half-sections are then joined together along longitudinally extending side faces thereof, for example, by bolts.
A significant feature of the present invention resides in the ability to rapidly change the type or color of the fluid flowing through the channels and orifice plate without stopping fluid flow through the orifices. Shutdown of the flow through the orifices causes substantial problems, both in cleaning the channels and in starting the flow of fluid through the orifice plate. However, it is essential to ensure that the changeover from one fluid type or color to another is accomplished without leaving any residue of the first fluid in the distribution bar. The multiple channels permit such changeover without shutdown, without causing any change in the flow of the fluid filaments through the orifice plate (other than the transition from the first fluid to the second), and without any apparent change from normal operation during the changeover of fluids.
In normal operation, the inlet and outlet for the lower channel are closed, the outlet for the intermediate channel is closed, and a vacuum is applied to the upper channel. Thus, fluid is supplied through the inlet to the intermediate channel and gas is removed from the upper channel. In changeover, however, all three channels are opened at one end of the bar to serve as inlets for receiving the new fluid and all three channels are opened at the other end of the bar to serve as outlets for the old fluid and any mixture of the old and new fluids. Atmospheric or a slightly elevated pressure is maintained in the bar during changeover so that the fluid jets still run. Thus, there is horizontal flow across the bar as the fluid continues to issue through the orifices of the orifice plate. Changeover is in about 50 seconds with acid dyes for a bar about 1.8 meters long, much shorter than if only the middle level channel was used for changeover. Such quick changes can be of importance when using the fluid jet device to apply dyes to fabrics, since multiple color changes may be needed in a relatively short period of time. Thus, fluid of a different type or color may be introduced to one end of the bar into the multiple channels. As the new fluid enters, the old fluid is removed by continuing to issue through the orifices, as well as by flow through the channel outlets at the opposite end of the bar. A restriction is preferably located in the outlets to elevate the pressure in the bar during changeover in order to maintain sufficient pressure to continue the flow through the orifices. The new fluid simply replaces the old fluid as the latter runs out of the bar without the need for shutdown or first draining the old fluid before replacing it with the new fluid. Also, the continuous, smooth nature of the channels permits the new fluid essentially to flush the old fluid from the bar without leaving any residue.
Accordingly, in accordance with the present invention, apparatus is provided for supplying fluid to the orifice plate of a fluid-jet applicator comprising an elongated fluid distribution bar having a pair of elongated channels extending from adjacent one end of the bar to adjacent the opposite end of the bar, one of the channels being disposed above the other channel. Means are carried by the bar defining an inlet for supplying fluid to the channels. Means are additionally provided for defining an elongated slot for flowing the fluid outwardly of the other channel for flow through the orifice plate. Means are also provided defining at least one port providing communication between the channels and further means are provided for directing gases entrained in the fluid in the other channel to the port for flow through the one channel outwardly of the bar.
Preferably, the gas-directing means includes shaped upper surfaces in the other or lower channel which includes a plurality o f high points spaced longitudinally along the upper surface of such other channel coincident with a plurality of ports which are spaced longitudinally one from the other along the bar providing communication between the channels. Additionally, a third channel is disposed above the one or intermediate channel and has a plurality of ports spaced longitudinally therealong providing for communication between the third channel and the one channel, the ports being out of phase with the ports providing communication between the intermediate and lower channels.
In a preferred form of the present invention, the fluid distribution bar is formed of tow identically cast sections, each defining a portion of each channel, together with means for securing the cast sections one to the other to lie on opposite sides of the longitudinal centerline of the bar, with the cast channel portions in opposition one to the other.
In accordance with the present invention, there is also provided a method for forming a fluid distribution bar for use in flowing fluid to an orifice plate in a fluid-jet printing device wherein the bar has at least a pair of channels, one superposed over the other, including the steps of casting two identical elongated sections each defining portion of each channel, with each channel portion opening through a side face of the cast section, providing communication between the channels and securing the cast sections one to the other with the side faces abutting one another and the channel portions opening into one another to form the superposed channels.
In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of changing from one type of fluid to another in the fluid distribution bar of a fluid-jet printing device, the bar having at least a pair of channels, one superposed over the other, in communication with one another and an orifice plate comprising the steps of flowing a first fluid into the channels to form a fluid-jet curtain issuing from the orifices through the orifice plate, maintaining the fluid-jet curtain formed by the first fluid, while introducing into the channels a second fluid of a different type, and continuing to maintain the fluid-jet curtain as the second fluid displaces the first fluid in the channels of the distribution bar and in the formation of the fluid-jet curtain whereby the fluid forming the fluid-jet curtain changes from the first fluid to the second fluid.
In a still further aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of operating the fluid distribution bar of a fluid-jet printing device, the bar having at least a pair of channels, one superposed over the other, in communication with one another and an orifice plate, comprising the steps of flowing a fluid into the channels to form a fluid-jet curtain issuing from the orifice through the orifice plate, applying a vacuum to the fluid in the distribution bar and flowing gases entrained in the fluid from the lower channel into the superposed channel for removal from the distribution bar.
Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved fluid distribution bar for use in a fluid-jet device and methods for forming and using such fluid distribution bar for flowing fluid through an orifice plate in a manner enabling gas entrained in the fluid to be removed before it reaches the orifice plate, providing non-turbulent, damped flow of fluid to the orifice plate, and affording quick changeover of fluids from one to another.
These and further objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent upon reference to the following specification, appended claims and drawings

Reference will now be made in detail to a preferred embodiment of the invention, an example of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Referring now to the drawing figures, particularly to FIG. 1, there is illustrated a fluid distribution bar, generally designated 10, constructed in accordance with the present invention, having fluid distribution channels for distribution of fluid through orifices in an orifice plate 12 disposed along the underside of bar 10. Clamps 14 are disposed along the underside of the orifice plate, to clamp the orifice plate to the distribution bar. A longitudinally extending opening is left between the clamps 14, enabling passage of fluid filaments and drops between the clamps. The distribution bar 10, orifice plate 12 and clamps 14 form part of a printhead assembly, generally designated 16.
Referring again to FIG. 1, there is provided along the underside of the distribution bar a charge electrode 18, a deflection electrode 20, and a droplet catcher 22 opposite deflection electrode 20. Underlying the deflection electrode and droplet catcher is a substrate S on which fluid is deposited.
As understood by those familiar with fluid-jet printing devices, fluid is supplied from the fluid distribution bar to the orifice plate and flows through orifices in the orifice plate to emerge on the underside thereof in the form of fluid filaments directed in a downward direction perpendicular to the orifice plate. These filaments receive a charge potential, by means of charge electrode 18, opposite in polarity and related in magnitude to the electrical potential of the charging electrode 18. Charged droplets separated from the fluid filaments are deflected by deflection electrode 20 towards droplet catcher 22, while the uncharged droplets continue downwardly onto the substrate. The present invention provides a novel and improved distribution bar, as well as a method for forming, assembling and using the bar.
In accordance with the present invention, distribution bar 10 comprises a molded stainless steel bar formed of a pair of identical castings 20 and 22, respectively. Each cast section is mated with an identical cast section along opposed longitudinally-extending lateral faces. The castings may be formed in conventional sand molds and joined together as hereinafter explained.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 through 12, and initially to FIGS. 4 through 6, the cast sections each have channel sections, particularly upper, intermediate and lower channel sections 24s, 26s and 28s, respectively, which open through the longitudinally extending side face of the bar section, which is to be butted against the side face of the adjoining identically cast bar section. It will be appreciated from a review of FIG. 2 that the channel sections 24s, 26s and 28s, in final assembly of the identically cast half-sections of the bar, define upper, intermediate and lower channels 24, 26 and 28, respectively. While an elongated slot 29 is illustrated between opposite mating bar sections 20 and 22 at the lower end of channel 28, as illustrated in FIG. 2, for distribution fluid from the bar to orifice plate 12, slot 29 is formed by machining after the bars are secured one to the other, rather than in the casting process.
Adjacent one end of the bar section as illustrated in FIG. 5, each channel section 24s, 26s and 28s extends laterally into the bar section to a greater extent at transitions 24t, 26t and 28t, respectively, to define passages 24p, 26p and 28p, which remain open to the side as shown in FIG. 5. That is, the channel sections 24s, 26s and 28s form transitions 24t, 26t and 28t with the passages 24p, 26p and 28p at locations along the mating face of the cast half-section where the latter passages angle laterally or more deeply into the associated bar section. The passages 24p, 26p and 28p within bar section 20 then curve upwardly. Openings 29 are later machined and tapped to open through the upper surface of the corresponding bar section to provide communication with the respective passages 24p, 26p and 28p and threaded connections for receiving various fittings, not shown. Tapped openings 29 lie wholly within the bar section and do not open through the side face thereof. A void 30 is provided at the end of the casting to reduce the mass of metal of the bar, as well as to preclude distortions during cooling of the casting.
FIGS. 7 through 9 illustrate portions of the distribution bar intermediate its opposite ends while the channel sections 24s, 26s and 28s thereof are illustrated in FIG. 8. A plurality of fluid communication ports 32 are spaced longitudinally along the bar section providing for communication between the upper and intermediate channels 24s and 26s, respectively. Similarly, a plurality of fluid communication ports 34 are provided between the intermediate and lower channels 26s and 28s, respectively, at longitudinally spaced positions along the length of the bar. From a review of FIG. 8, it will be appreciated that ports 32 and 34 are longitudinally offset one from the other. It will be appreciated that the ports 32 and 34 illustrated in FIG. 8 are, when the casting is made, half-cylindrical recesses which form complete cylindrical ports upon mating assembly of the bar sections.
Also in FIG. 8, the upper surface of intermediate channel section 26s is shaped to provide alternating linear upwardly sloping and downwardly sloping upper wall surfaces 36 and 38, respectively, terminating at an upper high point or apex 40 coincident with the axis of port 32. The juncture of the upwardly sloping and downwardly sloping walls 36 and 38 form low points or lower apices 42. Somewhat similarly, the upper surface of lower channel section 28 has linear upwardly sloping and downwardly sloping surfaces 44 and 46, respectively. The surfaces 44 and 46 meet at an upper apex 48, which lies coincident with the axis of ports 34, and also meet at a lower apex 50 intermediate ports 34. Ports 32 between the upper and intermediate channel sections 24 and 26, respectively, are spaced one from the other twice the longitudinal distance that ports 34 between intermediate and lower channels 26 and 38, respectively, are longitudinal spaced one from the other. Additionally, it will be seen that the surfaces 36 and 38, respectively, of the intermediate channel 26 extend linearly between the lower apices 50 of the upper surface of the lower channel 28.
FIG. 8 also shows bosses 52 which extend toward the centerline of the bar from the inner side wall of lower channel 28. While apertures 54 for receiving fasteners are illustrated in FIGS. 5, 8 and 11, the openings through bosses 52 and the apertures 54 are not formed in the casting process. Rather, such openings are later formed by machining when the bar sections are joined one to the other to ensure accurate fit.
Referring now to FIGS. 10-12, there is illustrated the opposite end of cast bar section 20. In FIG. 11, channel sections 24s, 26s and 28s terminate in transitions 24t, 26t' and 28t' which open through the mating face of bar section 20 into the transition sections 24t, 26t and 28t of the opposite mating bar section 22 for communication with the passages 24p, 26p and 28p thereof, respectively. A void 30' is provided in the opposite end of the bar section for like reasons as void 30.
Referring now to FIGS. 13, 14 and 15, the transition sections and the passages 24p, 26p and 28p formed at the lefthand end of the bar, as illustrated in FIG. 5, are clearly shown in relation to the upper, intermediate and lower channel sections, respectively. Additionally, the bar is shown prior to machining. For example, in FIG. 13, upper channel 24 has its transition illustrated by the dashed lines extending downwardly and to the right, the passage 24p being illustrated by the vertical dashed lines extending through the upper edge of section 20. Similarly, the FIG. 14, intermediate channel section 26 has its transition in bar section 20 in communication with the passage 26p, which extends upwardly to open through the upper face of section 20. FIG. 15 illustrates the lower channel 28 and its transition illustrated by the dashed lines to the passage 28p opening through the upper face of section 20. Additionally, bosses 52 of the adjoining sections 20 and 22 are illustrated.
In FIGS. 13, 14 and 15, the bar sections 20 and 22 are illustrated in full line prior to machining, with the lower channel's exit slot 29 illustrated in FIG. 15 being illustrated by dashed lines subsequent to machining.
As indicated previously, each bar section 20 and 22 is formed of an identical casting, for example, in a sand mold. Once formed, the castings are machined to assure flatness of their mating surfaces. The cast sections are then disposed end-to-end and joined, using an anaerobic sealant. In joining the sections one to other, it will be seen that the channel sections, ports, transitions and bosses are aligned one with the other. Holes 54 are then drilled through the combined bar sections and the sections are bolted one to the other. Holes 55 (FIG. 8) in the lowermost portion of the bar sections are also drilled through bosses 52 formed in the mated casting. Once the bar sections are secured one to the other using bolts, not shown, passing through the openings 54 and 55, the lower face of the bar is machined to remove excess metal along the side margins, to form the elongated slot 29 in communication with lower channel 28, and to form a pair of side-by-side elongated recesses 58 for receiving seals 60.
To form the fluid distribution bar 10, the bar sections 20 and 22 are cast of stainless steel in a conventional sand mold. The molds are identical one with the other and, hence, the cast sections are identical. As illustrated in FIG. 15, the bar sections once formed are machined in part prior to assembly and in part subsequent to assembly. In FIG. 15, it will be seen that a portion of the lower chamber 28 is defined by a casting surface 61, which is machined before assembly of the bar sections one to the other to obtain the machined surface 62. The bar section passages 24p, 26p and 28p at the locations where they open through the upper faces of the bars are tapped prior to assembly to provide the connections with various fluid lines. The bar sections are then mated along their longitudinally opposed faces such that the bar channel sections 24s, 26s and 28s open one into the other to complete the channels 24, 26 and 28, respectively. The ports 32 and 48 likewise mate with opposing ports to form cylindrical openings between the channels.
Note that the grooves 58 for seal 60 form a continuous groove about the slot 29. Seal 60 thus extends continuously about opening 29. Referring to FIG. 13, lower opposite edge portions 64 of the bar sections are also machined to provide elongated recesses which cooperate with the clamp structure 14, as shown in FIGS. 1-3.
To use the fluid distribution bar hereof, the orifice plate 12 is clamped along the underside of the bar, with its orifices in communication with the slot 29 and, hence, in communication with the channels of the bar. Once the bar is in position in the fluid-jet printing device, fluid is supplied to the channels through inlet openings at one end of the channels opening into passages 24p, 26p and 28p, respectively. As explained in another patent application filed on behalf of assignee, a vacuum is applied to the underside of the orifice plate to draw the fluid in the channels through the orifices and into a catcher tray in order to start the fluid filaments. Thus, it will be appreciated that fluid flows into the three channels simultaneously. Significantly, the bosses 52 lie in vertically spaced position below the ports 48 to prevent direct impingement of the fluid flowing through ports 48 downwardly into lower channel 28 onto the orifice plate 12. Thus, a more uniform application of the fluid to the orifice plate is provided. Also, it will be appreciated that the upwardly and downwardly sloping surfaces 44 and 46 of the lower channel and corresponding channels 36 and 38 of the intermediate channel tend to direct the gas entrained in the fluid upwardly to the high points or apices of the upper surfaces of the respective channels. It will be noted that such high points lie coincident with the ports whereby entrained gas escapes through the ports into the channel above the port. Each port therefore serves as a fluid communication channel for supplying fluid from one channel to the underlying channel, as well as a port for enabling egress of gas from the underlying channel to the overlying channel. In this manner, gas entrapped in the fluid and which is deleterious to the effective formation and continued flow of fluid filaments in a direction perpendicular to the orifice plate is removed from the channels without causing significant eddies or turbulence within the channels.
Once starting is achieved, the ports of the lower channel 28 are closed, the outlet port of channel 26 is closed and chamber 24 is put in communication with a vacuum through either of its ports, to take away air reaching chamber 24 as bubbles from the fluid. Thus, fluid flows into intermediate channel 26 through its inlet port at one end for flow through the intermediate and lower channels to the orifice plate.
To change fluids, all three chambers have their respective ports at one end open to drain and the opposite ports opened to receive the new fluid. The vacuum pressure is also removed. This causes a sweeping away of the old fluid across the length of the bar and its replacement with new fluid. Once the new fluid has completely replaced the old fluid, the lower chamber ports may be reclosed, the outlet port of the intermediate chamber may be closed and the upper chamber is re-connected to the vacuum.
It will be understood that although the fluids being discharged from the orifice plate during changeover contaminate one another, they may all be collected in the catcher 22 and directed to waste. Since changeover is accomplished rapidly, the amount of waste is minimal. thus, color changes of dyes for fabric as a substrate S may be accomplished quite rapidly.
Thus, it will be seen that the objectives of the present invention are fully accomplished in that there has been provided a novel and improved fluid distribution chamber for an fluid-jet printing device and a method of forming and operating the bar which affords improved flow of the fluid through the chamber and orifices.
While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

We now break into our Rose Bowl coverage …
for a quick explanation of what the Ducks face on Saturday at Missouri (2 p.m. PST, ESPNU).
This from the Missouri information folks:
It's no secret, but Missouri has been very good at home under Mike Anderson and the Tigers have fared
well against "High Major" opponents inside Mizzou Arena … The Tigers are 4-0 vs. "BCS" programs and
sport a 16.8 ppg margin of victory in wins against Arkansas (+22), Mississippi State (+8), Purdue (+10) and
California (+27).
Overall Missouri has played 33 non-conference home games under Mike Anderson and 29 of those 33
have been decided by double figure margins with the largest margin of victory coming this year vs. Texas-
Pan American … In fact, in running his record to 33-0 against non-conference teams at home, Anderson
and the Tigers have enjoyed a 25.8 ppg margin of victory … In three home games this season Missouri has
enjoyed a 38.0 ppg margin of victory.
Missouri owns a 22-game winning streak inside Mizzou Arena, which dates back to the home finale of
the 2007-08 campaign against Iowa State … Missouri currently ranks #5 nationally in consecutive home
wins and needs just one more home victory to push this active streak into the school's all-time Top 3.
Missouri Basketball owns a 40-game non-conference home court winning streak, which dates back to
the 2005-06 campaign … That 40-game run is a school record, topping the 29 consecutive non-conference
home wins from 1979-83 … That streak ended with an overtime loss to Marquette … Missouri's last nonconference
loss at home came against Sam Houston State in the 2005-06 season opener.
Oregon's last road win was in November of 2008, at UC-Irvine. The Ducks also defeated Alabama on the neutral court at the Maui Invitational last season. Oregon did win a road game against the Big 12, beating Kansas State in overtime two years ago.

Came to this park from Detroit in 2008 to catch a Tigers game. This park is stuck inbetween and struggles to find an identity to me. It lacks a lot of the luxury of the newer parks but isn't an old classic like Wrigley or Fenway. The seats in the upper level are awful and at a terrible angle. Sox fans are also really rude and immature wherever they are and that includes their home park. Nothing compared to Wrigley!Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse

The park has evolved quite a bit since it was built. The recent additions continue to add to the fan experience by offering better views of the game, more concessions and an improved scoreboard (I wish they would show more replays).

My husband and I spent five days here on our way from FL. to MI. I would consider this to be condos and not timeshares. Some people live here and there are mailboxes in the lobby. The building is across the street from the beach. The street is a divided highway and is busy so if you're going to cross it be careful. The units on the front of the building have a nice view of the beach and water. We were on the side of the building and could see a slight piece of the sand and water but it was pretty much blocked by trees and we looked right at the back of two homes which were sloppy. Not a fun view. We could see the pool from the bedrooms. The unit is a three bedroom, two bathroom condo with a lot of room. It's large enough to live in year round.
The unit is in need of updating and in depth cleaning. The carpeting is dirty and the ceramic tile grout should be cleaned. Towels are worn and the coffee pot needs to be thoroughly cleaned. The tracks for the sliding glass doors were disgusting. For those of you who have traveled to several timeshares, this one does not give you beach towels, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, first morning's coffee or Kleenex. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils and pots and pans and has a nice pantry for food.
It's a short walk to the visitor's center where there's a small museum and gift shop with the history of Biloxi including what happened when Katrina went through. There are restaurant's within a short drive or a loner walk if that's what you like to do. I recommend The Fillin' Station, a local place close by.
The two gals that checked us in were awesome. One was Carrie and the other was on her first day. They were so friendly and helpful, it made us feel very welcome.

Today, the National Park Service and visitors use this pier to access the island.

Graphic Design classes visit Special Collections
By: Gwynn Thayer
Last week was a busy week in Special Collections – two Graphic Design classes, GD 231 and GD 203 (taught by Russell Flinchum and Deb Littlejohn, respectively) reviewed a large selection of books with interesting design components.
GD 231, History of Design for Engineers and Scientists:
Russell Flinchum shared some background on this course:
During July 2015 I had a very special opportunity to spent a month at Drexel University in Philadelphia at a NEH Summer Institute on "The Canon and Beyond: Teaching the History of Modern Design." With my 26 classmates, I had the chance to visit a number of special collections, including the Hagley Museum and Library, where Dr. Regina Lee Blaszczyk, Leadership Chair in the History of Business and Society at the University of Leeds, took us on an impressive journey on the role of color in 19th century design (her 2012 book, The Color Revolution, is highly recommended). Reggie's workshop had clued me in to the extensive network of publications focused on color research and standardization and I was able to show my students the Hoechst Company's impressive volume on Cotton Dyeing as an example of the primary materials that Professor Blaszczyk had worked from.
For the GD 231 class, Special Collections selected volumes on the early applications of electricity, mechanical engineering, supply catalogs, and other books that showed Flinchum's students what "the state of the art" was over a century ago and how information-rich that environment was.
GD 203, History of Graphic Design:
The students in Littlejohn's class had a large list of books to select from, such as this perennial favorite by E. A. Seguy. While studying their books, the students will consider some of these questions, all provided by Dr. Littlejohn:
In the first (subjective) part, think about and write about your experience with the book, such as:
What is my first visual impression of the book?
What is the physical nature of the book? Size, weight, binding, paper
How do I sense the book? Look, touch, smell, hear (don't taste!)
What about the physical nature of the book interests me?
What is interesting about the design? Typography? images? cover? layout? etc.
In the second (objective) part, research and answer some of these questions (all questions are unlikely to be pertinent to each book, choose wisely):
(everyone must answer this) Why is this book in the collection? Why is it important enough to collect?
What is this book valued for? (may be more than one thing) subject matter, author, design, age, writing, illustrations, printing, previous owners, where produced
Is this book mentioned in books about the history of books and printing? (Z 250 section of the library)
How does this book fit in with history? Printing history, art/design history, history of a discipline, etc.
Is this book an example of something special? a beginning, an end, a particular style, etc.
Is this book part of the development of something?
If there are important individuals involved in the book's making, who are they?
Is this book connected with any other books in the collection? In a series, by the same author, by the same designer, about the same subject, etc. Does this add to its importance?
We look forward to working with these classes again next year!

Dean Marvin Malecha of the College of Design at NCSU has added a wide assortment of his drawings and other materials to his Papers. They will be processed and added to the collection as soon as possible. The new items include detailed hand drawings of buildings and other sites of architectural and cultural interest from around the world, as well as various other drawing projects he has been involved with throughout his long career. The Marvin J.

Raleigh, NC – The NCSU Libraries is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the Fourth Annual Designing Libraries for the 21st Century conference, which will be held at the James B. Hunt Jr. Library in Raleigh, NC on September 20-22, 2015. The University of Calgary and the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) are co-sponsors of this event.
Librarians, architects, planners, designers, information technologists, and others will gather to discuss the challenges and achievements of designing libraries and learning centers for the 21st century. Sessions will feature an array of topics including creating and communicating a vision; developing innovative, technology-rich learning and research spaces; creating Makerspaces; planning staff workspaces; and addressing organizational and service models, including transforming the collaborative roles of librarians in these new research and discovery environments. We will include examples from renovated libraries as well as new buildings. In-depth tours of the James B. Hunt Jr. Library and the D. H. Hill Library will be offered.
An optional preconference will be held on September 20, 2015. The theme of the preconference is "21st Century Libraries: Why Do They Matter?" and it will include sessions on infrastructure, spaces, partnerships, and re-education of librarians to support the life cycle of research and teaching.
For more information, please visit the conference website at go.ncsu.edu/designinglibraries.

This four-wheel-drive vehicle offered numerous engine options, starting with a 2.8 L Straight-6 and ending with a 5.75 L Windsor V8. The Ford Bronco comes with a rather attractive and roomy cabin which delivers a lot of comfort. Some models have highly exquisite maroon and blue leather seats.

Bill Withers' songs run through our memories: "Ain't No Sunshine," "Lean on Me," "Use Me," "Grandma's Hands." Learning there was a new documentary about him, I wondered how long ago he died. The answer is, he still lives and survives as a happy man. "Still Bill" is about a man who topped the charts, walked away from it all in 1985 and is pleased that he did.
He didn't burn out. He hasn't burned out. He was free of the demons of drink and drugs. He is still happily married to his first and only wife. His grown kids still live at home -- Kori, who would like to follow her dad into music, and Todd, who is a law student. Marcia, his wife, has her MBA from UCLA and has manifestly looked after their finances, as we can guess after a look around their rambling hilltop home in a high-priced area of Los Angeles.
Bill is 71. He was born in the middle of the segregated South in the mining hamlet of Slab Fork, W.Va. Did that experience leave scars? Not deep ones, apparently. On a homecoming trip for a class reunion, he walks the little town with a childhood friend, now the mayor, and they recall skinny-dipping in the creek and walking to school. Yes, they had to go to the back door of the grocery store to get an ice cream cone. He seems to remember the ice cream better than the back door. And he remembers his grandmother sitting on the front porch and singing.
Bill Withers was scarred, however. He had a serious stutter until he was 20. We don't learn why it went away. Maybe music helped. The most emotional scenes in "Still Bill" show him accepting an award from a stutterers' association, and then talking with a roomful of kids who stutter. His advice is calm: He identifies with them, he observes that stuttering can make other people nervous, he says "we have to go just that little bit further to help them feel at ease."
He wipes away some tears in his eyes, and we suspect they have been unshed since childhood. Later he recalls being taunted to "spit it out!" -- as if stuttering were his decision. He says he decided while young to make the most of his opportunities, and did. He studied, joined the Navy, didn't own a guitar until 1970, and achieved his first hit record, "Ain't No Sunshine," in 1971.
Withers wasn't part of mainstream soul music. He used a few instruments -- guitar, bass, drums, piano -- and no driving beat. He depended on his pure baritone and his lyrics. Listen again to "Ain't No Sunshine," and you realize it is a rarity: a hit song that is essentially just a man singing.
Later, he shudders in recalling a recording executive who wanted him to do his own cover version of Elvis Presley's "In the Ghetto."
Why did he quit? It was time to quit, he says, whatever that means. He didn't feel the need to tour year after year, keeping himself in people's minds. "On the way to wonderful," he says, "you'll pass through all right. Stop and take a look around, because that's where you may be staying." It's obvious he's happily married. He's close to his kids, and the only other time there are tears in the movie is when he and his daughter listen to a song she's recorded. His house is noticeably spacious and clutter-free, and so is his life.
Perhaps in an attempt to slip some "meaning" into the film, the documentarians Damani Baker and Alex Vlack arrange a conversation with the scholar Cornel West and Tavis Smiley from PBS. It feels like they're trying to lead Bill into heavy generalizations, but he won't go there. Withers seems as close to everyday Zen as I can imagine. He talks a great deal about his philosophy, to be sure, but it's direct and manifestly true: Make the most of your chances, do the best you can, stop when you're finished, love your family, enjoy life.
At 70, he sings once in the film, at a tribute to him in Brooklyn. And in his home recording studio, he and guitarist and songwriter Raul Midon collaborate on a song in Spanish, which I liked. He still has the voice, the chops and the presence. But he doesn't feel a need to spend days and weeks away from home proving that. His music endures. "I'm like pennies in your pocket," he says. "You know they're there, but you don't think about them."
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

What a gorgeous fireplacemedia center Barbara Lawson from Arbutus, MD on 01/06/2013 – Verified Buyer
We received this unit just a few days after ordering. It was extremely well packaged and very heavy (sorry UPS man!). My husband and I put it together on Christmas morning in about 3 hours. By the time our family came over, we had the TV set up and can of fuel burning inside. It definitely takes two people to set it up since its heavy and to align the top panel. It was a bit tight on one end, but we did get it together just fine. The instructions are straightforward, hardware all in order, and all parts well labeled. The only tough part was getting the firebox in, as there wasnt a lot of room to maneuver, and there were no predrilled holes. I ended up priming the space with nails and following up with screws. Amazingly, there were no scratches or dings in the wood, which is actually a velvety expresso, and only the firebox had a small bump on the top rim. Now its hardly noticeable. The unit fits most of our components, with the exception of our cable box. We called the cable company and they were able to switch out the box for a newer one which is much smaller. In fact, so small that we can store things next to it on the shelf. Everyone just marvels about the unit and they just cannot believe we built it from a kit. It looks so solid and goes well with our brick wall and dark means in the living room. There is just a minor issue, but that can probably be resolved. There are 3 opening inside the firebox that are supposed to hold the fuel cans, but they are too small for the regular Realflame cans. You end up setting them next to these holes, and then they are visible behind the ceramic logs. I hope there is another size of fuel container to resolve this. If not, larger replacement logs are expensive. We spraypainted several thin bricks black, placed them under the log set, and they cannot be seen from the outside when the curtain is drawn. In all though, we are very happy with our purchase the unit ends both ambiance and useful storage to what was previously a plain wall.

We absolutely love our new fireplace! Pam from Harpswell, ME on 03/03/2015 – Verified Buyer
I can't say enough good about this piece of furniture. We had researched having a gas fireplace professionally installed for a minimum of $5,000, which would have required code enforcement approval. Too expensive! Then we researched vent-less gas fireplaces, which would have been slightly cheaper and required less construction and paperwork, but we weren't keen on having the fire's bi-product blown back into the house. Expensive AND possibly detrimental to air quality! Chose the gel fireplace because it was/is inexpensive and harmless. The cabinet is heavy, well designed, and attractive. It looks like a permanent built-in. The fire gives the feel of a real wood fireplace. Sometimes we burn one gel can, sometimes three. This should not be purchased as your primary source of heat, but it does warm the room 4-5 degrees. It gives off a slight odor, hardly noticeable. We are extremely pleased with the way the fire looks and crackles like a wood fire.

Attractive, functional piece of furniture! Sheila from KY on 01/20/2015 – Verified Buyer
This fireplace met my needs perfectly! I needed a tv stand and wanted another source of heat in case of a power outage. This gel fuel fireplace is exactly what I was looking for to fit the space I had. It was packaged really well, but there were a couple of scratches on two corner pieces. They were easily fixed with a little stain. It was very easy to assemble. I put it together by myself, with the exception of the fireplace insert. I have only used the gel fuel once, and only used one can. It provided a surprising amount of heat, so I am sure using 2-3 cans would be all I would need for my great room. The flame is nice and crackles similar to a real wood fire. However, the logs included are disappointing, as they are very small and the cans are somewhat visible. I would definitely use the fireplace often if the gel fuel was less expensive. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Really Nice, price not so nice, but Kelli from Seattle, WA on 10/24/2013 – Verified Buyer
Really nice quality unit that a great addition to my living room decor. The dark wood looks very rich in colour. Easy to essemble took about an hour. Would have been nice if it included some starter gel cans with the purschase especially for the money you spent. So make sure you buy a supply of them. Gel fire cans must be a new product, because my local hardware stores Lowes and Home Depot had never heard of them. Make sure you shake the gel cans really well before lighting or they will purment an order. Gives off a nice warm heat that make it feel the ambieance nice and cozy. Will put into good use when the weather gets colder.

It can hold a 60 inch TV no problem !! Justina from LAwrenceville, GA on 04/04/2015 – Verified Buyer
I love it !! My husband and i live in a small condo it has no fire place so we decided to buy this item and let me tell u it is beautiful. its not to hard to assemble. It took him maybe two and a half hours. It is very pleasing to the eye. The only thing i have to say is that when we took it out of the box we noticed that some parts were chipped . Not a big deal we used a sharpie and colored it and it is no longer noticeable...... it is a good investment it's made of sturdy and good quality !! We love it .
