Origin are doing 66% off Capcom titles, and there are some good games thrown in there if anyone is interested.
Also, Steam are doing 75% off a popular, top-selling game every day. The current game, Terraria, is almost up, so if that game doesn't interest you at £1.49 then you can wait a few hours for the next offer to be up.
Steam also have some Midweek Madness sales which includes; 50% off Lego LoTR and 75% off Sims 3. There are other games thrown around Steam on sale so it's worth checking it out.

P.E. Central Lesson Plan: Clothespin Steal
Suggested Grade Level:3rd and Up
Materials Needed:Cones for general space boundaries; 3 clothespins for each student
Lesson Plan:Description of Idea
Have ALL of the students pick up three clothespins as they enter the gym or playing area. After they have found a good self space in a coned off area ask them to attach the clothespins to the back or on the sides of their shirts (nearby classmates can help if they can't do it by themselves).
After they have secured the clothespins explain the object of the activity is to collect as many clothespins from your classmates as possible in a specified time limit (i.e., length of a short song). You are only allowed to take one pin at a time however. When you get a clothespin you put it on your shirt.
If someone loses all of their clothespins they continue to play because they are trying to retrieve pins from others.
Teaching Suggestions:
Kids have a tendency to hold the clothespins they steal in their hands. Please remind them to put them on their shirt before they continue to try to steal others pins.
Give them feedback about the dodging skills they use.

As the recession took away jobs, more women returned to college to further their education
A trend emerged during the recession that has continued even as the country has recovered: As men continued to work through the downturn, more women returned to college to further their education.
The question is: Will this help or hurt women down the road?
Last year, The New York Times addressed the issue, seeking opinions from a panel of education and women's issues experts on the current state of women in terms of education and careers.
[Take the first step toward earning your degree. Find programs now.]
Needless to say, there was not complete agreement.
Women Feel the Need for More Education
Stephanie Coontz, an author and a professor of history and family studies at The Evergreen State College, noted many women feel the need for more education to stay even with men because men with lower education levels often earn more than women.
Coontz said that only college-educated women in their early 20s make as much as their male counterparts.
"Aside from the first few years of work, men still out-earn women at every educational level," Coontz wrote for the Times. "Much of this is because most women remain the 'default' parent. They take more time off after having children and are more likely to cut work hours or downshift to jobs that do not fully utilize their qualifications but allow more family flexibility."
University of Toronto professor Joshua Gans pointed out that women may want to get more education because, as a recent study in Canada found, graduates during the recession had trouble making income levels on par with those who came before or those graduating now.
This gap was even harder to make up for women, "so it is no wonder that they had trouble finding good jobs and that many are pursuing higher education."
Education May Not Help All Women
Others pointed out that returning to college can be a gamble, particularly for older women who have less working years left to recoup the cost of college.
Richard Vedder, an economics professor at Ohio University, wrote that women also face the same glut men face, with an increasing number of graduates competing for a lower number of jobs.
[Download our free guide to online education now]
"Add to that the high probability of notgraduating along with rising college costs often financed by accumulating student debt, and it's clear: going back to college is not a good move for all American women," Vedder wrote.
Economist Wilhelmina A. Leigh, a senior research associate at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, also wrote that while women are seeking higher degrees, men are in the workforce building networks that will help them down the road.
That said, however, Leigh pointed out that as women eventually attain degrees and move into the workforce over the coming years, the "glass ceiling could indeed vibrate and crack. By the time these young women work their way up their respective career ladders to the top rungs, their long-term presence in the work force could have radically changed the views and practices of people whose decisions could shatter the glass ceiling."
Clearing a Path For Success
An estimated 1 billion women worldwide will enter the workforce in the coming decade, according to a report in 2012 from Booz & Co. Education will help them achieve their goals, but they will be held back by a number of factors, according to Booz.
The first is the "care economy." Boozx reported that among the countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development – which are the among the most economically-developed countries in the world – women spent 2.4 more hours every day on giving unpaid care to children or elderly parents. The latter issue – providing care to aging parents – often hits women just when they are beginning to take off in their careers.
[Check out more articles about going back to college here]
Other areas fall under "inclusion," which is includes such issues as disparate pay, the lack of women in leadership roles and increased difficulties for women to get financing for entrepreneurial ventures.
However, the Booz report notes that government action in some areas can ease these concerns – and attaining higher education can help women position themselves to take advantage of a level playing field.

Interest rate under spotlight on Bank 'Super Thursday'
A deluge of information will be released by the Bank of England at midday today that is likely to provide an insight into when interest rates will rise.
Dubbed "Super Thursday", the Bank will publish its interest rate decision, the minutes of the Monetary Policy Committee, which decides the rate, and its quarterly Inflation Report, the latest view on the state of the UK economy.
Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, will also hold a news conference to provide further details.
Previously the announcements have been spread out over a couple of weeks, but they are being combined in a bid to improve transparency.
Interest rates have been frozen at 0.5% since 2009 and, although the Bank is not expected to announce a rise today, a hike has been widely predicted for this winter.
Banking leaders welcome Carney's reform proposals
Senior bankers have greeted Mark Carney's tough new proposals to crack down on fraudulent practices.
Anthony Browne, chief executive of the British Bankers' Association, said: "It's vital that London once again sets the gold standard for fair dealing and integrity in financial markets.
"We welcome the intention to extend regulation from banks to other types of trading organisations. This should give customers greater clarity and protection."
Martin Wheatley, chief executive of the Financial Conduct Authority, added: "These markets are central to our economy and today's recommendations will be important in rebuilding public trust in their integrity."

Mark Carney: Brits should enjoy low inflation while it lasts
Governor Mark Carney has said people should 'enjoy the low inflation while it lasts' as the Bank of England will bring inflation up to the 2% target by the end of the year.
We expect inflation to be very low over the next few months. But over the course of the year as we get towards the end inflation should start to pick up towards our 2% target.
The British people should enjoy this period of very low energy prices low, very low food prices, enjoy it while it lasts.
Mark Carney: EU referendum 'should happen soon'
An referendum on the UK's membership of the European Union should take place "as soon as necessary", the Bank of England governor has said.
Mark Carney said businesses are continuing to invest and hire despite political uncertainty connected to either the recent election or future referendum but added that: "It's in the interests of everybody that there is clarity about the process and the question and the decision."
The Conservatives have pledged to have a vote on the issue before the end of 2017. Asked if the referendum had resulted in uncertainty among business bosses, Mr Carney told BBC Radio 4's Today programme:
We talk to a lot of bosses and there has been an awareness of some of this political uncertainty - whether because of the election or because of the referendum.
What they've been telling us, and we see it in the statistics, is they have not yet acted on that uncertainty - or to put it another way, they are continuing to invest, they are continuing to hire.
Asked why productivity has not therefore increased, Mr Carney said: "It should start to move up.
"One of the big advantages this economy has is access to the European market. It's the largest economy in the world, it's our largest per destination, it's our largest investor in the United Kingdom."
Asked if he meant he would like to see the referendum sooner rather than later, Mr Carney said: "As soon as necessary. That's as much as you're going to get."
Carney: Interest rates 'could be cut further'
The Bank of England governor Mark Carney said interest rates could be cut further, and the £375 billion quantitative easing programme expanded if low inflation continues for longer than expected.
Germany fears it will be left footing the bill for Europe
Mark Carney's comments will not be welcomed in Germany, where there are fears that taxing one part of the Eurozone to pay for another could leave them footing the bill.
ITV News Economics Editor Richard Edgar on the Governor of the Bank of England's comments:
Carney praises ECB but accuses Eurozone of failing to act
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney praised the European Central Bank for the "boldness" of its plan announced last week to buy hundreds of billions of euros of government bonds to fight the "potentially dangerous" combination of weak growth and falling prices.
But he criticised the eurozone for failing to act on other reforms, including making the single currency area more like the United States, where states cushion one another against economic shocks via federal government transfers.
"It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that, if the eurozone were a country, fiscal policy would be substantially more supportive," he said in a speech in Dublin.

Credit card reward programs: a short history
By Jeremy M. Simon
The popular reward credit cards of today draw their concept from an idea that has been around for some time.
Rewards programs began in the late 1800s with the founding of a company by Thomas Sperry and Shelly Hutchinson that sold stamps to merchants. S&H Green Stamps (also known as Green Shield Stamps) could be earned by consumers when making purchases at supermarkets, department stores, gas stations, and other retailers.
The S&H Green Stamps acted as bonuses for consumers based on how much they bought. Once a certain number had been collected, consumers could redeem the stamps for products from the company's catalog or at the local Green Shield shop. S&H Green Stamps were popular in the United States from the 1930s to the early 1980s.
By the 1980s, airlines began to take part in rewards programs with the creation of frequent flier programs that provided airline miles to consumers. The credit card industry would introduce a greater array of loyalty programs a few years later.
The AT&T Universal Card was the first credit card to offer rewards to customers who used it, providing cash back on every purchase that could be applied toward the cardholder's phone bill.
In 1986, the popular "cash back" program from Discover Financial Services, a division of Morgan Stanley, appeared. Discover introduced the concept of dolling out cash to the cardholder at the end of every year based on the total amount of charges placed on the credit card.
At present, more than 60 percent of all credit cards issued in the United States are linked to a rewards program, based on industry estimates. Versions of rewards credit cards still provide both airline miles and cash back. Next time you swipe your reward credit card when making a purchase, you can think back on the history of reward programs.

- Good cabinet Review by Josh
Quality Price Value
Love it works good for what it is my wife loves because it doesn't take up a lot of Room definitely bolt it down to the floor or the wall but all in all its a good product Can't beat it for the price to keep your guns put up Instead of stuffed in a closet where they get beat up

- Good Cabinet at a good price Review by Walter
Price Value Quality
This is not a Gun Safe it is a gun cabinet, there is a big difference Make sure you know the difference. However, as a gun cabinet , it is well made and the price is right, many other cabinets sell for hundreds more at other stores. I actually purchased it thinking it was a gun safe only to find out it is a gun cabinet. I kept it for storage because it is still a great price for a storage cabinet.
Stack-On also makes a great Gun Safe which I had to purchase after buying this gun cabinet because even though this cabinet is made well it is still just a cabinet and not as secure a safe..

Bolted to the floor an wall, reforcement bar added to door it will take time for someone to get in to it, this is my 4th one with the top cabinet with it but don't forget this is a lock cabinet not a safe.this will not be my last one. I do own 2 of stock-on safe they are just as good for the money.they need to do better packing for shipment all 4 of the cabinet were damage an they took some off of price rural king makes it right with you
(Posted on 9/13/2014)
- Agood cabinet at a good price. Review by Charles Robinson
Price Value Quality
This cabinet is good for gun storage. It isn't a "safe". It isn't an indestructible haven for your valuables. It is a good storage cabinet to keep kids and amateur criminals out of your guns. It isn't fire or water proof. It is large and bulky enough to slow down a common crook. It will do this even better if bolted to the wall as instructions suggest. Being an owner or handguns rather than long guns, I would have preferred more shelving and plan to install some extra shelves. While it sounds like I am being critical on this product, It does what it does well, at a good price, and the finish and quality are excellent for the price.

Read an Excerpt
It has been something like thirty million years since I last felt anything. I have no arms to lift, nor legs to run. I have no mouth to take in nourishment; no tongue to savor it. I have no skin or hair to feel the sweet breath of a cool breeze. While I have the urge to replicate, I have no vagina to accept the loving gift of genetic material from another of my kind; no uterus to grow another of my kind even if I did. I am intelligence without appendage, but not without body.
What body I have floats through the void. It evolved somewhere near the beginning of time and took the primordial form of a cluster of spheres--mirroring the cluster of stars whose plasma and gravity conspired to give me life. I was like an island universe, all to myself, drifting from star to star. The electro-magnetic energies that course their way through my body of encased plasma began to take on order and began to sense the wider universe. I began to understand that no woman is an island and I explored, consciously. I found purpose in trying to understand the orbits of stars around the center of the cluster, understanding the cluster of stars' place in the universe, and trying to determine whether or not I was the only sentient thing.
I discovered that with sufficient energy, I could replicate myself. Because of the way our memory works, we each see ourselves as the original of our kind. We all remember our beginning as though we had experienced it. None of us knows who is the original. Likewise none is really certain whether the original actually exists. Because the memory lives within us all, we do not feel that it is important who wasthe original.
I discovered planets--rocky and gaseous bodies that orbited stars. On some of these planets, I found entities that moved about and replicated much as my sisters and I had. However, some of these entities did not replicate by duplication, rather they came together in various combinations and shared components of themselves to make new, different versions. With time, there was an evolution from one type of creature to another.
We observed a difference between evolving creatures and ourselves. Instead of simply recording the universe, they reacted to it in ways we had not considered. While their lives were much shorter than ours, there was a quality to them that augmented their purpose. On one particular carbon dioxide and nitrogen shrouded planet, we observed living beings for hundreds of thousands of years. They walked upright and hair covered their bodies. Their teeth were large compared to many evolving creatures we observed, but the creatures were not carnivores, rather it was because they consumed the water and methane ice that covered their world. They retained these characteristics even after they began to make tools that made their fur coats and their teeth unnecessary. When they became aware of us, we communed with them.
We found that as part of the communion, the beings learned more about the universe than they had ever known before. It was as though they could travel to all of the star systems we had been to. Likewise, while communing, we could feel their emotions. We shared the delight of the creatures' expanded knowledge. We had the ability to see ways in which the creatures could order their existence and improve it.
When we broke communion with the creatures, we found that they were diminished--they had better tools, better lives, but not the experience to improve upon what we had given them. In the same way, we had memory of emotion, but were not able to experience new emotion without the creatures.
Thus, a symbiosis was formed with these sensual creatures that lasted for thousands of years. The creatures learned to build vessels with which to explore the universe on their own. We gained imagination that enabled us to interpret all we had observed in new and unique ways. While communing with these beings we felt as though we had appendages. We knew what it was like to feel cool wind, share intimate relations, give birth and hold a beautiful child--like us, but different--in our arms. For the first time in our existence, we could express ourselves. We knew what it was to leave a legacy.
Thirty million years ago, the cluster of stars in which I make my home passed through a larger conglomeration of stars shaped like a whirlpool. Our appendages broke their communion with us in the alien galaxy. Without them, we Clusters wandered lost and alone, with only our memories of emotion and sensuality.
Though there are others of my kind, we are so alike that communion with one another is pointless. Without the appendages, some of my kind lost their sense of purpose and simply threw themselves into the hearts of stars. I do not know whether we can be killed that way or not, as we were formed from the hearts of stars. However, our outer shell would likely vaporize and the plasma that makes up our cores would merge with the star. I do not know whether that is the same as what the appendages call death or not.
Our cluster of stars recently returned to the galaxy where our appendages left us. However, a galaxy is a daunting and huge place--much larger than our star cluster. We pondered the odds of finding our appendages again. While the odds were low, the benefits of having our appendages back spurred us on to look for them.
As my sisters and I searched, we encountered many star vessels like the ones our appendages had built. Examining the vessels, we found no evidence of the appendages but we continued our exploration anyway. As I passed through one sector of the galaxy, I felt an emotional disturbance in the void. Terrible violence overwhelmed me. Only beings as sensual as the appendages could have caused emotions so great. I went to investigate, but the appendages were not there. Instead, there were strange beings that combined intelligence like mine with an ability to order their own lives using appendages. Their intelligence was governed by their sensuality. I wondered whether the appendages evolved, though I was skeptical. Communing briefly with two of the appendages, I found that these beings called the planet they were on Sufiro and they had just concluded a conflict among themselves. It was a strange concept as my appendages never fought among themselves. These new beings proved quite interesting. They bore watching. They called themselves humans.
In short order, I discovered that these humans were well traveled. One I had met at the world called Sufiro was aboard a spaceship at a strange new place where two stars orbited one another. One star spewed its gaseous plasma toward the other. There was almost a loving violence as these two stars went around each other, magnetically and gravitationally locked. It reminded me of the humans themselves.
I brought the human, who called himself John Mark Ellis, to my bosom. His sensuality breathed new life into me. These humans were proving more interesting than the appendages of old. The human's emotion caused me to think imaginatively. Perhaps it was just my own fading memory. Even so, I decided to give up my quest for the old appendages. Upon communing with this John Mark Ellis, I discovered that I wanted new appendages.
The gravity tide was strong and carried me away from the whirlpool galaxy. However, tides ebb and flow. I knew I would be back to learn more about these humans.
Upon my return home, I meditated. Ellis and others of his kind demonstrated much variation--like my three sisters and I experienced after our contact with the original appendages. As I knew they would, the gravitational tides allowed me to return to the whirlpool galaxy and somehow I found that John Mark Ellis and another human named Clyde McClintlock, who I had also communed with, had sought me out. They followed me back to my home in the globular cluster. The one called McClintlock had the audacity to attempt to initiate communion. We found that this McClintlock thought we were the creators of the universe. Upon correcting him, his fragile mind was destroyed. We sensed that a non-human named G'Liat, who was aboard the spaceship, put an end to McClintlock's suffering.
We liked the audacity of the human McClintock and were further surprised and delighted when the human Ellis initiated communion and entered our minds. Most of my appendages were female and it felt good to have this man inside me. He was primitive and brutal, but smart. He was better than the appendages of old. When Ellis and his ship returned to the whirlpool galaxy, we were once again diminished.
We have decided to adopt these humans. They will become one with us. We will benefit from them and they will benefit from us. Together we will build a legacy.
The humans would call it a "win-win" proposition.

KC will host Super Bowl if voters approve stadium taxes
Monday, March 6, 2006
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The National Football League announced Sunday that Kansas City would host Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 if voters approve a tax to renovate Arrowhead Stadium.
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue addressed a meeting of team officials and civic leaders by speakerphone from New York. He announced late last year that Kansas City would get a Super Bowl if the renovations were made and if a rolling roof was built to make Arrowhead Stadium climate-controlled. On Sunday, he announced the owners had voted to make Kansas City the site of the Super Bowl in 2015 if the stadium is renovated.
Jackson County voters will vote on two propositions on April 4. A 3/8-cent sales tax would raise more than $500 million for renovations to Arrowhead and the Royals' Kauffman Stadium. A separate tax would raise about $200 million to build the rolling roof, which would be used for both stadiums.
"The playing of Super Bowl 49 in Kansas City will be contingent on the renovation of Arrowhead Stadium and the rolling roof, and those improvements to the stadium will become critically important down the road as the voters of Jackson County prepare to go to the polls on April 4," Tagliabue said.

"A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children - the youngest a third-grade boy - was a far-left political extremist who was "obsessed" with President Obama to the point of being off-putting."--Boston Herald, February 15, 2010
'Oddball' portrait of Amy Bishop emerges:
"The woman accused of killing three colleagues at the University of Alabama in Huntsville was a suspect in a 1993 attempted mail bombing, according to a report by The Boston Globe.
The report broke the day after it was learned that Bishop fatally shot her brother in Braintree in 1986.
More than fifteen years ago, Bishop worked with Sylvia Fluckiger at Children's Hospital in Boston.
"I thought she was an odd-ball. Maybe socially a little awkward," Fluckiger said. "I felt she was a little bit sloppy working in the lab. But we were not friends. She came to do her experiments in our lab. I had my stuff to be done. We didn't hang out."
In 1993, Bishop and her husband, James Anderson, were reportedly questioned about a mail bomb that was sent to the Newton home of Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Paul Rosenberg.
Colleagues at Children's Hospital were suspicious at the time, because Bishop was apparently angry at Dr. Rosenberg, although no one knew why.
The communist creed:
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
The capitalist creed:
From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.
-Joe Stack (1956-2010)
Not exactly a denouncement of Communism. And certainly not an endorsement of Capitalism!

shhhhhhhhhhhhh...gotta keep this quiet...
The liberal education establishment is reaping it's own rewards.
Don't worry. I'm sure it will just stay here on FR. :)
Oh, stop it. Bishop is obviously a tea party activist. /s
Sooner or later, chickens come home to roost.
Talk to almost any Harvard grad. They are all obsessed with Obama. "Aren't we cool and superior? We elected a Negro! Clearly, we aren't racist. But if vote for the old white guy, you are clearly a racist and uncool."
The fact that most Harvard grads don't understand that Socialism bankrupts any country that tries it (or causes terrible unemployment problems), they respond that we don't go far enough. Which is take away personal rights and impose a fair and impartial totalitarian Marxist government. They just make sure that they are exempt from it.
Shhh! The dirty little secret is that they won't be exempt.

Dr. John C. Drew, a grant writing consultant in Laguna Niguel, Calif., tells Newsmax he met Obama in 1980 when Obama was a sophomore at Occidental College in Los Angeles. Drew had just graduated from Occidental and was attending graduate school at Cornell University.
During Christmas break, Drew says he was at Grauman-Boss home in Palo Alto when Obama came over with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, his roommate from Pakistan.
Barack [Obama] and Hasan showed up at the house in a BMW, and then we went to a restaurant together, Drew says. We had a nice meal, and then we came back to the house and smoked cigarettes and drank and argued politics.
For the next several hours, they discussed Marxism.
He [Obama] was arguing a straightforward Marxist-Leninist class-struggle point of view, which anticipated that there would be a revolution of the working class, led by revolutionaries, who would overthrow the capitalist system and institute a new socialist government that would redistribute the wealth, says Drew, who says he himself was then a Marxist.
The idea was basically that wealthy people were exploiting others, Drew says. That this was the secret of their wealth, that they werent paying others enough for their work, and they were using and taking advantage of other people. He was convinced that a revolution would take place, and it would be a good thing.
Drew concluded that Obama thought of himself as part of an intelligent, radical vanguard that was leading the way towards this revolution and towards this new society. ..."
Referring to Obamas quote from Dreams of My Father that he associated with Marxist professors, Drew says, What hes not saying is that he was in 100 percent total agreement with those Marxist professors. When you understand that, Obamas later associations and policies make more sense, including why he was taken in by Rev. Wrights ideology.
A non story. Besides she's white so that makes her a tea party member and racist. All the other stuff is incidental.
"Talk to almost any Harvard grad.'
My brother-in-law is one. He's sending me graphs from the Bureau of Labor to show the recovery is moving along nicely. We could go to 20% unemployemnt and he will say it's part of the recovery plan. Just like blizzards are a result of global warming. Poor educated suckers.
My daughter-in-law is also a Harvard grad. We avoid talking politics like the plague. I love her dearly but she's a committed liberal. My husband is convinced he can turn her around, it'll never happen.
However, this is still Bush's and the Teabaggers'Fault because they created a hostile environment in which Commies and Fellow Travelers are driven mad, mad I tell you.
How can this be so hard for you to understand? Polar Bears are dieing. The seas are rising. Earthquakes are hitting Third World countries. Every man, women, child, and what's worse, every minority group member, transgendered, handicapped, and registered Democrat on this planet is going to die.
And Amy was denied tenure? O the huge manatee!
Yeah, because according to Obama, Tea Party people are really mad at Bush and not at him, that's how Obama explains the Scott Brown election.
Oh, but they will. Just like in China and Russia where they chose wealthy individuals to keep the money flowing. That is the dirty secret that Marxists don't repeat. Castro and Pol Pot didn't keep some rich around and look what happened.
There are a couple of things I'd like to see in print. There was a reference quoted (but not explained) that she met her husband (another odd ball) "playing Dungeons and Dragons when they were both at Northeastern University." Does anyone know if this is true? There is a sordid side of that game with some players.
Secondly: I'd like to know more about Amy's mother and father. There has been reference that their home was a dark, unfriendly place.
Separated at the sperm bank?
I agree. I'd like to see more on that, too.
Figures. We all know that Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.
Amy Bishop is a poster-child of how 0bama-worship ends up.
From her father-in-law:
"Anderson describe Bishop as a "pacifist" who was active on campus in President Barack Obama's campaign, adding she is a member of MoveOn.Org. "She picked that stuff up at Harvard," he said."
Accidental-—riiiiight. She shot three times. Then she raced to a nearby garage, pointed the gun at a mechanic there, and attempted a carjacking.
We'll never hear the rest of the story from MSM, because they worship feminazis like Amy Bishop.
Interesting info on the murderous Alabama professor. Aren't liberals tolerant and compassionate?/s
Anybody have info on the amounts she contributed to Obama and other lefties?
And Pacifists, too... /sarc
How long do you think it'll take before they twist it all into being Bush's Fault?? You know, the brainwashing, mind control, etc. of poor Amy Bishop, Victim. /sarc
You would be surprised how many Harvard alumna and alumni are here at Free Republic.
Harvard used to be synonymous with Conservative. Wonder what happened.

This invention is related to a copending application, owned by the same assignee, titled "Gas Generator" by Fred E. Schneiter, et al, Ser. No. 417,349, filed Nov. 19, 1973.
This invention relates broadly to gas generators, and particularly to gas generators having expendable cartridges for inflating safety cushions for automotive vehicles.
Gas generators that are known in the prior art for inflating safety cushions for automotive vehicles have been constructed primarily by placing the various components within a structural housing having orifices for expelling gases into an inflatable cushion. Although some parts were recoverable after firing of the gas generator, it was necessary to rebuild the generator in order to reuse such parts; and the rebuilding was not normally within the capability of the vehicle owner. Since, such rebuilding at the factory was economically unfeasible, the entire gas generator became expendable on being fired.
The copending application cited above teaches enclosing the gas generant material and ignition device in a hermetically sealed, rupturable can. The purpose of this feature in that application, however, was to separate the flammable materials from other components. This tended to facilitate shipping, handling, and storage of components. Also, the flammable materials were the only parts subject to deterioration by exposure to moisture, etc.; and, hence, needed to be hermetically sealed in a special can. Nevertheless, since several of the expendable components were outside this can, the spent gas generator still could not be reclaimed.
The present invention is an improvement on the invention cited above in that all components that are disposable or likely to be damaged when the gas generator is fired are included in the hermetically sealed can.
This provides an expendable cartridge that may be easily removed from a structural housing when spent and may be easily installed by the vehicle owner in the recoverable housing for refurbishment of the gas generator. Hence, for repeated use, the vehicle owner needs only to buy the replaceable cartridge, rather than an entire gas generator, thus greatly reducing the cost of the system.
Such a cartridge, capable of producing a known quantity of gas, may also be used to represent a convenient unit of gaseous volume. As such, it may be used in various applications and in gas generator housings of various configurations.
The cartridge of the invention has a hermetically sealed container or can divided into first and second chambers by a perforated partition. The first chamber contains a gas generant material contiguous with an ignition means that comprises an electric squib in the presence of pyrotechnic material. On receipt of a signal, the squib fires, igniting the pyrotechnic material, which in turn ignites the gas generant. Filtering screens between the perforated partition and these combustibles in the first chamber remove any solid particles that may be contained in the resulting gases before they flow through the perforations in the partition. A gas cooling means is provided by annular wrappings of fine mesh wire screen inside the wall of the second chamber. A relatively coarse screen is inserted between the fine screen and the wall of the can. The gases are commonly slightly alkaline as they flow through the perforations of the partition, hence, a plastic bag of pH neutralizing material is enclosed and surrounded by the cooling screens; and, since the perforations of the partition are centrally located, the pH neutralizing material essentially lies between these perforations and the cooling screens so that gases must pass through the neutralizing material. This cartridge is enclosed in a housing that supports all sides of the container except for the wall thereof at the sites of the orifices in the housing (adjacent the cooling screens); so that gases emerging through the cooling screens may rupture the wall of the container at the sites of the orifices. This housing may either be substantially cylindrical in form to contain only one cartridge, or it may be in an elongated or other configuration to contain several of the cartridges. The housing is formed, at least in parts by two half shells and is equipped with a mounting flange that surrounds at least one of the shells. These two half shells may be joined together by any of a number of different means such as by screw threads, clamps, or screws.
After the gas generator has been fired, it may be easily refurbished for repeated use simply by opening the housing, removing the spend cartridge, and replacing it with a new one. The cartridge of the invention may also be standardized to represent a given volume of gas, whereby it may be used as an aid in designing gas generators of various configurations. These attributes are therefore the objects of the invention. Important features of the invention are that it is simple and reliable in construction and may be easily manufactured, stored, and handled.
Other objects and advantages of the invention may be noted as the following detailed description is read with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same parts are designated by the same numbers throughout the disclosure.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a side elevation of the cartridge portion of the invention, shown partially in section;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation showing the housing in section; and
FIG. 3 is a top view of an elongated housing wherein a series of the cartridges may be installed.
The gas generator 4 incorporates a housing 5 that includes at least one cylindrical member 24 confined between two half shells 6 and 7, each having a mounting flange 8. They may be joined together by screws 27 that pass through holes in the mounting flanges 8. These screws may also attach the gas generator 4 to appropriate parts of the automotive vehicle in which it may be installed, and to a bag mounting flange 25 and the bag to be inflated 26.
A cartridge 9, to be installed in the housing 5, has a thin-walled container 10 that is preferably made of aluminum and is hermetically sealed similar to conventional cans for containing foods and beverages. A centrally perforated partition 11 divides the container 10 into a first chamber 12 and a second chamber 13. The first chamber 12 contains gas generant material 14. Although this gas generant may be any one of a number of compositions meeting the requirements for burning rate, nontoxicity, and flame temperature, a preferred material is a mixture by weight of 55% sodium azide (NaN3), and 45% anhydrous chromic chloride (CrCl3) in the form of pellets. Contiguous with the gas generant is an ignition means that includes an electric squib 15 in the presence of pyrotechnic material 16. This pyrotechnic material may also be any of a number of compositions, however, a preferred material is granular mixture of 25% by weight of boron and 75% of potassium nitrate.
A filter screen 17 is provided between these combustibles and the perforated partition 11 by a plurality of layers of relatively fine wire screen (about 30 to 60 mesh). This screen filters out any solid particles that may be contained in the gases, resulting from combustion of the ignition means and gas generant, before they pass through the perforations 18 in the partition 11.
The second chamber 13 contains a pH neutralizing material 19 in a thin plastic bag 20, preferably made of polyethylene film. A preferred pH neutralizing material 19 is powdered iron sulfate, Fe2 (SO4)3 or FeSO4. A gas cooling filter 21 surrounding the pH neutralizing material 19 has the form of an annulus made by annular wrappings of a relatively fine screen (about 30 to 60 mesh). A plurality of layers of a relatively coarse screen 22 (about 8 to 16 mesh) surrounds the cooling filter.
The container 10 of this cartridge 9 is rupturable at the sites of the orifices 23 in the housing 5 adjacent the cooling screen 21. The coarse screen 22 provides a relatively unobstructed, free-flow space for the gases to escape through the orifice 23.
The container 10 is mass produced by conventional machinery used for forming and sealing beverage cans. To be reliably handled and formed by such machinery the starting aluminum sheet stock is about 16.5 mils thick. This thickness, however, is too great to be reliably ruptured with the required speed by gases produced from the burning gas generant 14. However, the wall of the container becomes approximately five mils thick by the process of drawing it into the shape of the container 10. This five mil thickness, is optimum both for reliably maintaining strength and the hermetic seal of the container 10; and, at the same time, for reliably and rapidly rupturing when subjected to the gas pressure produced by the burning gas generant 14.
On impact of the vehicle with another object, a sensor, not shown, delivers an electric pulse to the squib 15, which ignites the gas generant 14 via the pyrotechnic material 16. The resulting gases then flow through the filtering screen 17, where any solid particles are removed. They then flow through the perforations 18 in the partition 11 and destroy the plastic bag 20 so that the alkaline content of the gases may be neutralized by the material 19 therein. The gases then pass through the filtering and cooling screens 21 and rupture the container 10 at the housing orifices 23 to flow through offices 23a into an inflatable structure 26. This entire sequence is completed within 35 milliseconds of the collision.
An invention has been described that advances the art of safety devices for automotive vehicles. Although the preferred embodiment has been described quite specifically with regard to detail, it should be noted that many such details may be altered without departing from the scope of the invention as it is defined in the following claims.
