This application is a continuation of International Application No. PCT/IT00/00159 filed Apr. 19, 2000 the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a device and a method for introducing hydrogen into flat displays.
Particularly, the invention relates to a device and method for introducing hydrogen into field emission displays (generally known in the art as "Field Emission Displays" or FED) and liquid crystal displays wherein the orientation of the liquid crystals is controlled by means of a plasma (generally known in the art as "Plasma Addressed Liquid Crystal" displays or PALC), in order to maintain the hydrogen partial pressure in these devices within a desired range of values. The main use of these types of displays is replacing the traditional television screens based on the cathodic tube, which is heavier and more encumbering. Other uses, especially in the case of PALCs, are the boards for providing traffic information, in railway stations or airports.
In principle, the internal space of a FED should be kept under vacuum, and that of a PALC plasma chamber should contain only the rare gas necessary for the plasma formation, generally helium at pressures of about 50-500 mbar. However, both devices are known to work better and particularly to maintain their functional capacity for a longer time, if small quantities of hydrogen are present inside them.
As described in the articles of Spindt et al., in IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, vol.38, n. 10 (1991), p.2355-2363, and of Mousa, in Vacuum, Vol. 45, n. 2-3 (1994) p. 235-239, in a FED hydrogen has the function of avoiding the oxidation of the metal electron-emitting microtips; the optimal hydrogen pressure is about between 10−5 and 2�10−1 mbar.
In PALCs, hydrogen has the function of accelerating the decay time of the helium plasma, by accelerating the return of the single spots which form the display (in the art defined "pixel") from the "switched on" to the "switched off" condition; a high speed of this transition is necessary for the transmission of high definition television images. Patent application EP-A-816898 can be referred to for a detailed description of the mechanisms and problems of the PALC functioning; hydrogen partial pressures of about 0,1-100 mbar, and preferably between 1 and 10 mbar, are optimal for the functioning of the PALC.
The introduction of the desired hydrogen quantities in these displays can be carried out during the manufacturing, for example by filling up with hydrogen gas after evacuation of the internal space of the FED or of the plasma chamber in the case of PALCs; the filling up operation can be carried out by means of the same (generally glass) tubulation used for the evacuation, which can later be sealed by heat compression (technique known as "tip-off").
However, hydrogen is consumed during the life of these displays. In particular, the hydrogen consumption rate has been observed to be noteworthy when the display is on, while it is negligible when it is off. The reason for this behavior is believed to be the hydrogen ionization, with formation of the H+ion when displays are switched on, which in the FEDs is due to the interaction with the electronic beams and in the PALCs to the plasma formation; the thus formed H+ions are accelerated by electric fields, also present with switched on displays, against internal portions thereof, mainly the metallic microtips in the FEDs or the electrodes in the PALCs, and sorbed by these portions.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide for a possibility of supplying the gas, when it is necessary, in the internal space of these displays during their life. The systems which have been devised up to now for this purpose are based on the employment of hydrogen accumulator materials, generally zirconium or titanium based alloys which can sorb and emit hydrogen according to equilibrium conditions that are characteristic for each alloy. These alloys can be "charged" with hydrogen quantities up to a few percent of their weight, by heating them to temperatures between about 50 and 200� C. with contemporaneous exposure to hydrogen at pressures between about 10−4 and 2 bars. The charged hydrogen can be subsequently released from the alloy when this is exposed to hydrogen partial pressures lower than the equilibrium partial pressure for the specific alloy at the specific temperature. This kind of alloys charged with hydrogen can be positioned inside the display in communication with the internal space thereof and possibly they can be heated up to temperatures between about 40 and 500� C. when the hydrogen pressure decreases under the values above indicated for FEDs and PALCs, in order to re-establish the optimal working atmosphere in the device. The employment of zirconium or titanium alloys, based on their hydrogen sorption and emission equilibrium properties, is described for example in patent applications EP-A-716772, EP-A-838832 and JP-A-10/199454, relating to FED type displays, and in patent applications EP-A-816898, EP-A-833363 and WO 98/57219, relating to PALC type displays.
The prior art systems, although in principle effective for maintaining hydrogen at the desired levels, are difficult to be put into practice, because it is difficult to define a specific alloy with hydrogen equilibrium pressures as a function of the temperature which can generate the desired hydrogen pressures inside the displays. Specifically, the main difficulty which is found with these systems is that these alloys generally have very low hydrogen equilibrium pressures around the room temperature (the working temperatures of FEDs and PALCs), so that most of the hydrogen released by heating the alloy is subsequently sorbed again by the alloy itself when cold; at temperatures around the room temperature, the alloy works as a hydrogen getter, rather than as a source thereof, since it can sorb also the hydrogen which has been intentionally supplied into the display during the manufacturing steps.
With patent application M199A 000534 the applicant intended to provide a device and method for the introduction of hydrogen into flat devices, free from the drawbacks of the above listed methods, based on the use of a portion of passage wall between a hydrogen supply and the flat display formed of a proton conductor material. The passage of hydrogen gas through said wall is controlled by means of two electrodes, the first of which is connected to the proton conductor material surface facing the reservoir inside and the second to the surface facing the display internal space, means for heating the portion made with proton conductor material being provided. The method further necessarily comprises a continuous monitoring of the hydrogen partial pressure in the display or at least the detection thereof when it drops under a predetermined critic value, to enable the application of a suitable potential difference between the two electrodes.
Object of the present invention is to provide a device and method for introducing hydrogen into flat displays which do not need pressure detectors capable of controlling a potential difference being applied, in the desired sense, on electrodes connected to the two faces of a proton conductor material, but which provide instead a self-regulated system without any external intervention.
This object is achieved according to the present invention by means of the device features set forth in claim 1 and by means if the method features set forth in claim 7.
These and other objects, advantages and features of the device and relating method will appear more clearly from the following detailed description given for some different embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 shows schematically a possible embodiment of the device according to the present invention:
FIG. 2 shows a graph wherein the hydrogen gas flow through a permeable palladium wall of the device according to the invention is plotted against the wall temperature, for four different thickness values;
FIG. 3 graphically shows the variation trend of hydrogen partial pressure in a flat display provided with the device of the invention and in one not provided with said device.
The device according to the invention is formed of a reservoir containing a material which is able to accumulate and release hydrogen as a function of the temperature; the reservoir walls are made of a hydrogen-tight material, but for a portion, generally a membrane made of a material which is hydrogen permeable as a function of the temperature, preferably palladium or alloys thereof or iron or alloys thereof; the membrane connects the reservoir with the display internal space. The flow F of hydrogen gas which can permeate through said membrane is given from the well known equation:
wherein A is the membrane area, d the thickness thereof, k0 and Ek respectively are the pre-exponential factor and the activation energy for the permeation, which depend both on the material forming the membrane, and p1 and p2 are the hydrogen pressure values on the membrane opposing faces. By defining with p2 the pressure value on the side of the reservoir and with p1 that on the side of the display, the flow will be directed from the reservoir to the display when p2>p1, and in the opposite direction when p2>p1; when p2=p1, the equilibrium is achieved and the net flow through the membrane is null. Independently on the flow direction, the velocity thereof increases with the membrane temperature.
With reference to the drawings, in FIG. 1 the device of the invention is shown in a schematic way and according to a generic embodiment. Device 10 is formed of a reservoir 11 delimited by an assembly of walls, generally indicated as member 12. The device is connected to the internal space 13 of a flat display 14 of the FED or PALC type by means of a wall (or a portion thereof) formed of a membrane 15 made of a material 16 which is permeable to the passage of hydrogen gas as a function of the temperature, which is provided with a surface 17 facing reservoir 11 and a surface 18 facing space 13. Around said membrane 15, or anyway next to it. a heater 19 of any type is provided, suitable for checking the temperature of said membrane 15 and formed for example of an electric resistor fed from the outside, of which only a few turns can be seen schematically in section. A material 21, able to accumulate hydrogen and release it by heating, is provided in the reservoir 11; material 21, also called "buffer", can be one of the titanium- or zirconium-based alloys described in the previously cited prior art documents, and particularly ZrCo, ZrNi, ZrCo1−xNix, or a ternary Zr—V—Fe alloy, but also a lanthanum-based alloy such as LaNi5 o LaNi5−xAlx. The material is chosen so that, at a temperature T1 which is easily achievable in the device, the equilibrium hydrogen pressure thereof is equal to the hydrogen pressure value, ps, which is desired to be kept in the space 13 of the display, and at which said space can be charged already during the manufacturing step. Temperature T1 is generally comprised between room temperature and about 400� C.; lower temperatures would require cooling systems of the device which are generally not easy to construct and use, while temperatures higher than those indicated would require higher power for the achievement thereof and might cause damages to the device itself. Generally, material 21 is chosen so that the temperature T1 at which the equilibrium pressure thereof equals ps is between about 150 and 300� C. A heating member can be provided for heating material 21, such as a resistor 22 directly positioned inside reservoir 11, and supplied by means of a connector 23 as shown, or outside thereof.
As previously said, hydrogen having pressure ps (total in the case of FEDs and partial in the case of PALCs) is introduced inside space 13 during the manufacturing step of the display 14. During the display life, hydrogen is consumed and its pressure is reduced to a value px<Ps. In order to re-establish the desired pressure in the display, material 21 is brought to temperature T1 by means of heater 22, the reservoir pressure reaches value ps and, according to equation (I), a flow from the reservoir to space 13 is established. which stops when the pressure inside the latter reaches again the desired value ps. The achievement of said condition could be detected by suitable sensors positioned in space 13 but, in order to simplify the display construction, it is preferable to maintain device 10 constantly heated when the display is on, so that the pressure is continuously self-regulated to the value ps. In order to favor hydrogen transport, it is possible to operate on the membrane temperature, by keeping the same at a value T2 which is as high as possible; however, this value cannot raise above about 400� C., in order to avoid damaging other components of the display. For the same purpose it is also preferable to have membranes with the lowest possible thickness.
When the display is off, also device 10 is preferably not fed, especially in order to save energy. In these conditions, all the components of the display and of device 10, among which material 21, are brought to room temperature, Ta, which in the case that the displays are employed for traffic signs or in other environments, can vary within about 0 and 50� C. At these temperatures, materials 21 generally have very low equilibrium pressures, so that, according to equation (I), the flow would be directed towards the reservoir and device 10 would be inclined to sorb practically all the present hydrogen. Therefore, it is necessary that membrane 15 has the lowest possible permeability values at Ta. In this case, being the temperature fixed, the flow control can be carried out only by means of the membrane thickness, which must be as high as possible.
The thickness d of the membrane 15 shall therefore be determined by considering the opposite needs of having a good permeability when the temperature thereof is T2 and a reduced permeability when the temperature thereof is Ta. In order to determine thickness d, it is convenient to refer to the curves shown in the graphic of FIG. 2, which represent the flow, F (expressed in mbar�l/s) passing through the membranes of palladium of different thicknesses as a function of the membrane temperature T expressed in �C.; the curves in FIG. 2 numbered from 1 to 4, refer to membranes of respective thicknesses 0,1 mm, 0,25 mm, 0,5 mm and 1 mm and are valid for membranes having area 0,25 cm2 and when the hydrogen pressure difference, Δp=p2−p1 between the two membrane faces is 5 mbars. The value of the membrane area is representative of a typical application in displays, wherein the surfaces in the internal space 13 are mainly occupied by the active components thereof and the area available for the membrane is reduced. The value of 5 mbar for the Δp has been chosen instead as representative of the worst conditions which can occur in the PALC type displays, by assuming that 5 mbar is the hydrogen partial pressure value which is to be maintained inside thereof. During the functioning of the display operation, in the worst conditions space 13 will be completely evacuated from hydrogen, so that the previously defined values ps and px will respectively equal 5 and 0 mbars, with Δp=5 mbar; when the display is off and T=Ta, the hydrogen pressure inside reservoir 11 can be approximated to be 0 mbar, while the partial pressure in space 13 is not higher than 5 mbar, so that a pressure difference of 5 mbar on the two membrane faces is again obtained (though of opposite sign with respect to the previous). Assuming that in the worst case Ta=50� C., and T2 is known (defined by the displays manufacturer as the highest temperature to which membrane 15 can be brought), the curves of FIG. 2 enable us to choose a membrane thickness compatible with all the conditions wherein device 10 and display 14 can be found. Curves similar to those shown in FIG. 2 can be obtained for Δp values lower than 5 mbar, for example of about 10−1 mbar, in the case that the desired application is in the FEDs, and for membranes of other materials than palladium.
Although it is possible to foresee that temperatures T1 and T2, of material 21 and membrane 15 respectively during the operation of device 10 are different, the construction and operations of the device are considerably simplified when the condition T1=T2 is chosen; this condition can be achieved by just adopting a single heater instead of the two 19 and 22. This situation, preferred by the manufacturers, imposes a further bond for the choice of the thickness d of the membrane 15, because in this case the temperature thereof cannot be chosen as high as desired within the above indicated limits, in order to avoid having a too high hydrogen equilibrium pressure in reservoir 11, and particularly one higher than ps, which could overload space 13 with gas.
The employment of the devices of the invention is advantageous also under the aspect of the necessary compatibility with the manufacturing process of the flat display. In fact, the accumulator material (buffer) should already be charged with hydrogen at the requested concentration before mounting the device. The thermal cycles which the assembly undergoes during the manufacturing process can bring to temperatures higher than those of the working device, causing hydrogen release from the accumulator material and gas loss due to the gas pumping during the production phases. By the prior art systems, wherein the accumulator material contacts directly the display internal space, in order to minimize the H2 losses, it is necessary to position the accumulator material after the frit-sealing operation which occurs at 450� C., or maintaining it cooled during this phase, but both solutions imply some difficulties. A device of the invention based for example on ZrCo can on the other side easily bear a heating to 300� C. for 150 minutes under pumping, with hydrogen loss limited to about 3 mbar�l, which is a value absolutely tolerable with respect to the total quantity of hydrogen contained in the material, of the order of about 80 (mbar�l)/g.
A practical example of membrane thickness dimensioning and operation of the invention device is given in the following.
In this example reference is made to the numbering of FIG. 1. A display of the PALC type having internal volume of 150 cc is connected to a hydrogen release device of the invention, formed mainly of a reservoir with steel walls containing 1 g of the ZrCo compound precharged, according to modalities known in the art, with 8 mg of hydrogen. The internal volume of the PALC and the reservoir are connected to each other by means of a palladium membrane having a surface of 0,25 cm2. For heating the membrane and, through the reservoir walls, the compound ZrCo, a single resistance is employed, so that in operative conditions the compound and the membrane are at the same temperature. The PALC is charged, by means of a glass tubulation, with a mixture of helium/hydrogen having total pressure of 150 mbars wherein hydrogen is present at a partial pressure of 5 mbar, indicated in FIG. 3 by a dotted line. The tubulation employed for the filling operation with the gas mixture is then connected to a gas sampling system which is in turn connected, by means of an expansion chamber, to a mass spectrometer for measuring the chemical composition of the gas contained in the PALC. The thickness of the membrane is determined by referring to the curves of FIG. 2, with the conditions, made known by the PALC manufacturer, that the hydrogen consumption when the display is on is of about 3�10−7 (mbar�l)/s, and that the maximum hydrogen loss acceptable when the display is off at 50� C. is for example 1 mbar in a hundred days, which is equivalent, in the device described, to a permeation flow of about 6�10−8 (mbar�l)/s; this value of removal flow, Fr, is represented in the figure by a first dotted line. When the display is on, the hydrogen flow towards space 13 is required to be at least equal to the above indicated hydrogen consumption rate, and preferably of one order of magnitude higher; the preferred flow value FH, which in this case is 3�10−6 (mbar�l)/s, is indicated in the drawing by a second dotted line. The material ZrCo is in equilibrium with a hydrogen pressure of 5 mbar at about 180� C. and, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, said temperature is imposed also to membrane 15. The conditions that the membrane has a permeation flow lower than 6�10−8 (mbar�l)/s at 50� C. and higher than 3�10−6 (mbar�l)/s at 180� C. define a membrane thickness of 0,35 mm. Membrane 15 and material ZrCo are heated up to 180� C. and the display is switched on and left for some hours in operation: the partial pressure of hydrogen contained in the screen is measured every hour, by extracting by the tubulation gas samples having the volume of 0,5 cc and analyzing them by means of a mass spectrometer. The variation trend of the so measured hydrogen partial pressure (expressed in mbars) during time (in hours) is given in FIG. 3 as curve 5.
The test of example 1 is repeated with a PALC having no hydrogen releasing device according to the invention connected thereto. The trend of the hydrogen partial pressure in time is given in FIG. 3 as curve 6.
As it can be seen from comparison between curves 5 and 6 in FIG. 3, the device and method according to the invention allow hydrogen partial pressure to be maintained essentially constant in a PALC. but for slight fluctuations, while in a PALC without said device the hydrogen partial pressure decreases by 14% of the initial value in the first 100 life hours.
Therefore, by the devices and the method of the invention it is enough to feed the heaters (or the single heater) of the buffer material and of the membrane in order to obtain a complete self-regulation of the hydrogen partial pressure in flat displays, no external control being required.

This was good - but I actually liked it better without the lime juice. It was a slightly spicy soup with fun kick and different than other "ginger-carrot" soups on here. Not a bad recipe, but not a repeat for me.
Everyone loved this soup and the lime really made it for me. I'm glad there are leftovers because I'm pretty sure it's the kind of soup that ages well. Thanks, country girl kim, my famous 2007 PAC baby (the 1000th adoption). (:

Apple announces In App Purchases for free App Store softwareApple has announced that developers who offer free App Store applications can now take advantage of in-app transactions — a feature that was previously allowed only for paid software.
The In App Purchase feature, which was implemented in the iPhone 3.0 software update for paid applications, has now been expanded for use in free applications. Previously, some developers were forced to charge a nominal $0.99 fee for their software to have In App Purchase capabilities.
The new policy has already affected some prominent applications, including MapQuest's Navigator. MapQuest had previously offered a $.99 price for a 14-day trial. Now due to what the MapQuest blog called "App Store restrictions," they now initially offer the application for $3.99 for one month of use.
TechCrunch suggested that this change will have a major impact the structure of paid and free applications. Due to the previous paid-app restriction, premium app makers have often offered both full and light versions of their software. Now that free applications are essentially upgradeable, developers will not face this problem.
The note sent to developers Thursday reads:
"In App Purchase is being rapidly adopted by developers in their paid apps. Now you can use In App Purchase in your free apps to sell content, subscriptions, and digital services.
"You can also simplify your development by creating a single version of your app that uses In App Purchase to unlock additional functionality, eliminating the need to create Lite versions of your app. Using In App Purchase in your app can also help combat some of the problems of software piracy by allowing you to verify In App Purchases.
Visit the App Store Resource Center for more details about how you can add In App Purchases to your free apps."

131st AES Committee On Track For Blockbuster Convention
"Expectations for the 131st AES Convention are particularly high this year," reports committee chair Jim Anderson, "our team is making an extraordinary effort to create an unforgettable event." Scheduled for Oct. 20 – 23 at NY'S Jacob Javits Center, this year's attendees will find a wealth of stimulating, challenging, entertaining and informative Workshops, Tutorials, Papers, Master Classes, Technical Tours and Special Events designed to hone their skills and recharge their batteries.
AES executive director Roger Furness reports that the stellar Committee is comprised of seasoned pros whose enthusiasm for the Convention is matched only by their professional accomplishments and peer recognition. "Our chairman Jim Anderson is a particularly accomplished engineer, producer and educator. His organizational acumen and leadership skills make him an indispensible asset. Many of our chairs have served for years and their knowledge of their fields is legendary. Broadcast & Streaming Events chair David Bialik is back for his 23rd consecutive Convention, which we believe is a record," Furness says. "We are honored to attract this level of talent each year, and our attendees reap huge benefits from their dedication to producing a first rate event."
The 131st AES Convention Committee is comprised of: Chair Jim Anderson, Broadcast & Streaming Events Chair, David Bialik; Live Sound Co-Chairs Henry Cohen and Mac Kerr; Workshops/Tutorials Chair Natanya Ford; Education Chair John Krivit; Papers Co-Chairs Veronique Larcher and Agnieszka Roginska; Technical Tours Chair, Lou Manno; Games Track Chair, Steve Martz; Facilities Chair, Michael McCoy; EE Co-Chairs, Bob Moses and Jonathan Novick; Tech Tours/Volunteers Chair, Doron Schacter and Master Class Chair, Alan Silverman.
"Our Committee is constantly challenged with topping the previous year's events, and the 131st Committee is clearly up to the task," Jim Anderson concludes. "Over the next few months we will announce a number of surprising innovations and high profile participants. The vigor, good humor we see evidenced at each of our Committee meetings convinces me that the 131st Convention will be one for the books."

I had to highlight the entire post to be able to read anything that wasn't quoted the last time I looked at it. The color is painfully bright on a dark style, and said dark styles usually have light-colored text, so... yeah. :/ It's not the end of the world, but it sure would be nice if it were universally readable without highlighting/changing styles temporarily.

DMK leader also wants Sri Lanka's disputed Kachchativu Island back
Sat, May 11, 2013, 11:57 am SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
May 11, Colombo: A week after his rival, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, passed a resolution demanding the Central government to take Sri Lanka's Kachchativu Island back, DMK leader M Karunanidhi has followed suit by moving India's apex court.
Karunanidhi has filed a public interest litigation petition at India's Supreme Court seeking a writ of declaration to declare the agreement between India and Sri Lanka on ceding the island to Sri Lanka unconstitutional.
The petition requests the apex court to declare the two agreements dated June 26 and 28, 1974 and March 23, 1976 ceding the island unconstitutional and non est in law, according to an Express News Service report.
It seeks Supreme Court directive to the Cabinet Secretary to retrieve Kachchativu Island as part of TN and an integral part of India.
Under the treaty agreement of 1974, Indian fishermen have lost the rights to fishing around the island as it is within the territorial waters of Sri Lanka and the 1976 agreement has established the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL), which the fishermen in the two countries are not allowed to cross into each other's territory.
Karunanidhi's petition also seeks a directive to the respondents to protect the historic fishing rights and other traditional rights of TN fishermen in the waters of Palk strait and Palk Bay and the waters around the Island of Kachchativu.
He also sought a direction to the Cabinet Secretary to pay compensation for the loss of life and property suffered by the Indian fishermen due to the alleged attacks by Sri Lankans.
Karunanidhi's petition comes nearly a week after the Tamil Nadu assembly unanimously passed a resolution demanding the Central Government to retrieve the Katchatheevu Island citing continued attacks, and arrests of Tamil Nadu fishermen by the Sri Lankan Navy.
The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister had stressed that the retrieval of the island was the only way to protect Tamil Nadu fishermen.
Jayalalithaa has berated the DMK leader for not taking any action to take the island back from Sri Lanka although his party has been part of the Central governments for nearly 16 years.

Golden Angels, submitted by me. Right off the bat, let me clarify that I was NOT searching for golden showers+"portal of love" or any variation thereof when I found this site, ok? I don't know why some of you people are so gross but insinuating that I was is just plain wrong and you're all gross.
Welcome dearest friends to our portal of love and light,
We, the Golden Angels, are known throughout the many Universes as the Elohim Masters who humbly collaborate with God/dess and the Angelic Host to share the remembrance teachings of sacred co-creator wisdoms residing within the eternal heart of all Souls.
Throughout the many ages that have passed, we have worked closely with humanity from the higher multi-dimensional planes of creation, acting as muses to inspire exploration and expression of these co-creator truths which are your inherent birthright.
Haha. Take note of the brainwashing block of scrolling purple text at the top of the page that includes such nonsensical New Age gems as "Love is ~ I am!" and "I am that I am". Maybe I'm being too harsh, some of this poetry is killer stuff.
Angelic Light and Love
A Golden Angel will always shine Angelic Light and Love
On each and everyone of us every day and night
They hold your hand and make you warm when you need their help
The Golden Angels Love EVERYONE in the world
and always will forever and ever

Shoppinggal, So glad to hear from you girl! You have been scarce on here so please start posting more as we all enjoy your posts :)))
I cannot wait to see pictures of Bella's ring either. I like the radiant cut rings and am anxiously awaiting to see pics of her ring, the three stone one.
Shoppinggal, I have no IDEA why in the world you bought a moissantie ring when you have that beautiful platinum ring your Mom gave you!!If I had a ring like that I would not even be thinking of buying another diamond ring yet alone a moissanite. I would give my eye teeth to own a 1.5 carat diamond that is VVS quality and is surrounded by baguettes and rounds of the same quality. You said the jeweler told you it was a total of 2.5 cts. What on earth would a 1.5 diamond cost now? I really do ENVY you girl!!! I believe I would cancel that moissantie ring and just wear that ring all the time.

Shoppinggal, My best diamond is only G-H in color and SI1 in clarity. I need to go to a jewelry store and look at a VVS diamond ring just to see what one actually does look like :)))I guess I need to get out a see the "real" world a little.
Mrs P., I had forgotten about that lovely bracelet you got from Zales. Did hubby give you that for Christmas along with the ring from Netaya, the champagne diamond one. I LOVED both of those purchases you made!! That ring is much prettier than any you could ever get from JTV and so is the bracelet. I bet you would get compliments galore when you wear them out :))

Mrs P., I looked for a long time after you bought the champagne ring from Netaya thinking they may have another one like yours. They kept your ring on there for a very long time after it sold out and that is why I thought they may have another one; no such luck :(( I remember that same ring at JTV was well over $3,000 and I liked it very much! It was the prettiest champagne diamond ring they ever had on their website.

I mailed that sucker back along with another moissanite fire ring. I decided I really would rather keep to the white gold. The other ring was really nice, but it was a BIG size 8. Too loose on either hand. I want to get the more casual looking fire designs. They sure have the inventory goofed for that elite ring. Yesterday they had the same ring as the one we sent back with yet a different second number. Weird.
I tried to order the last one of a Moissanite Fire ring before Christmas and they cancelled my order after two days. Either it was damaged or an inventory error. They usually call me if it was a damaged item.
I kept MSF302 as it goes really well with my Moissanite Fire bracelet and it fits correctly. CW had a disco ball looking ring that I might like if it comes back in stock.
I thought they could size any of the Elite pieces as they were in gold. I have to do my paper work and register my Holiday Collection pieces, the Fire bracelet, the Knuckle Dragger, and MSF302. I am glad you reminded me. I hate doing paperwork. I guess I will do it on line rather than call.
I really like MSJ071. That looks to be a beautiful stone. Did you keep both of the other rings?
The Knuckle Dragger is in Platineve, but CW said C&C would size it if needed. Fortunately it is a generous size 7 so I can wear it on either hand. Believe it or not, it is a very comfortable ring to wear.:-)

I like moissanite but prefer gold to Platenive. I am thinking of returning the pendant and the hoops because I bought the Mini Knuckle Dragger. MSJ137 I've been wearing that pendant and no one has commented on it. Not one person!
Bella which ring did you return? I love MSF302. And I love MSF113! And MSJ003Y.

Shopping Gal and Mrs. Dolittle, I did NOT get the bracelet or champagne Netaya ring. I got a moissanite ring, chrome diopside necklace and bracelet, monkey ring and pink diamond pendant. My hubby got some movies, tools, video games and electronics.
Speaking of which, that TV was a bear to get up on the wall. We bought one of those fancy mounts that can articulate out and swing right to left AND tilt. Well, all of those different things it can do also complicates getting that TV on the wall and straight. We are tired. It's up, and the picture is nice. We didn't have time to hook up speakers or the DVD player. So, just TV for now. I can see KTV really well, though :).
It sounds like there is a lot of sending back and trading for different stuff going on. I am going to do the same thing. I bought WAY too much before Christmas, so I am going to send a lot back and maybe get one piece on clearance.
#9295 Jan 1, 2013
BELLA....I sent the other two moissanite rings back. I sent MSJ126 and MSJ193 back. I may even send MSJ109 back if the one I have coming is really nice. I really don't need more than one nice moissanite ring anyway.
That rose gold ring you ordered should be nice. I have the one in yellow gold I bought several years ago. I also have a LeVian rose gold ring with 1.5 carets of round and baguette diamonds and a Dallas Prince rose gold ring with yellow diamonds. Rose gold is nice, but I still like the white and yellow better. I think rose gold is kind of a fad right now anyway.

The one you have coming has a huge stone... The biggest I have seen in the Elite line. It should be gorgeous.
I did not have a GSK ring and I had no diamonds in rosé gold. I have a lot of morganite in rosé gold too. And a rose gold and diamond watch. So it could fill a niche with me.
That brass crap today was another alarm bell that gold and diamonds will soon dwindle way down. Even most of the DOC stuff is junk these days.

I have loved rose gold since I first saw it in 2003. Then I saw rose gold medieval goblets in the museum in the cathedral in Salisbury, England. (Along with one of the four original copies of the Magna Carta. :) I am glad I have been able to get some gorgeous morganite and kunzite pieces in rosé gold.

BELLA....I know. It could be the one they were going to order for me. I think I will like MSJ071 a lot better.
When I was talking to one of the Ktv reps during the moissanite fiasco, she told me that prices on jewelry is going up and they are shopping around for alterntives to gold.
NORA....I like MSJ109 too. Hubby told me to keep it and put it away for my birthday. I guess I've still got time to think about it. That pendant and hoops you have are so nice.
I hope you aren't refering to me as not liking rose gold because I do. I just think it's a fad right now.

After I I posted that I was worried it might be the one you sent back and they logged it in again as the wrong ring. SIGH. It would not surprise me.....
I hope brass was not the new alternative they came up with.

Bella, I wondered the same thing, I wouldn't want to order it to find out.
The insurance adjuster came today, we have 2 big fans and a dehumidifyer running, it is SOOO noisey, they will repair damage, that intails, new bottom cabinets, they will try to match top cabinets, but I doubt it, and they will replace the floor, we can do the work or they will do it for us, don't know what hubby will do, I just want my house back in order. Part of the floor tiles has been ripped up so they can dry the moisture out from under the floor covering. YUUUKKK, it is such a mess!!!

I bought this robe for my teen son as a Christmas gift. I wanted a 100% cotton robe. It keeps him warm. I washed it before he wore it. It washed well, no lint, color run, etc.This robe provides good quality for the money.

I am very happy with this terry bath robe. The robe is well made. The terry is soft, a nice heavy weight, and not flimsy. The proportions are all just right for length and sleeves. A very good quality robe.

Absorbent and the right length. It is the 'just right' Terry Bath Robe.

I had been looking for an affordable knit robe. Since it is unisex it is a looser fit than I would like but it's very comfortable.

This robe is so soft and really thick and comfy. It does run quite big as it is unisex. Love mine.
You have plenty of big, fluffy towels to keep you warm when you hit the bathroom's cold tile floor after a shower. But haven't you forgotten something? Staying cozy after you have dried off requires a bathrobe to wear when you really need to warm up. A luxurious bathrobe can be a particularly great addition to your morning or evening shower or simply a soft piece of clothing to wrap up in on a lazy weekend. Still not convinced you need to buy one? Here are five more reasons you'll want to make sure you have a robe in your bathroom. Read More

World Bank to push North African broadband
INTERNET| March 7, 2012, 11:01 a.m.
The World Bank has launched a regional initiative to improve broadband connectivity in North Africa by bringing utilities' fiber optic networks into broadband use.
The World Bank's broadband connectivity initiative will study the potential for developing regional broadband backbone networks in Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and prepare the ground for new investments.
The Bank says it will use a new approach that leverages already-deployed infrastructure from other utilities, such as electricity, transport or oil and gas. The study is expected to tackle the main bottlenecks to broadband connectivity in the region, in particular providing redundancy (extra capacity) to existing international connectivity and opening alternative backbone networks in domestic markets.
"Worldwide, broadband is becoming an essential infrastructure for innovation, economic growth, and competitiveness," said Doyle Gallegos, Practice Leader, Connectivity Infrastructure, World Bank. "This World Bank initiative will help increase MENA countries' capacity to cope with the tremendous predicted increase in broadband traffic and to compete in the 21st century's global market."
The MENA region has been actively increasing broadband connections and, as of today, broadband connects over a quarter of MENA households. Broadband traffic in the region is predicted to grow over 100% in the next five years, making MENA the fastest growing region in the world with Sub-Saharan Africa.
The World Bank study will cover the region's international and domestic connectivity and will produce four country case studies focused on utility infrastructure use in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia. In addition, the World Bank will look at broadband-based applications to increase operational efficiency and competitiveness of utilities, starting with a smart-grid pilot project in Jordan. Findings from these activities will be shared through regional workshops aimed at boosting investment in the region, particularly in utilities' fiber-optic networks.
The broadband connectivity initiative is part of the World Bank's Arab World Initiative and is supported by the Public Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) and the Korean Government.

So keep flattering yourself Tonya cuz no one else will! You just sound like another jealous, uneducated idiot, talking smack about Tate! You couldn't make it to the TUF semi-finals so now you're just another cry baby bitch. Thank God the rest of us don't have to look at your fugly ass mug either!!! BTW, not only did you NOT deserve to be there, you don't deserve to ever crawl into the same ring as Tate, EVER!
Why does the UFC fall for giving media coverage to people like this looking to get themselves in the limelight? Lol, that's why you have so many flaky personalities in the UFC…cause they see how flaky people get media coverage (and fights) lol. UFC must be naive. Yea, it's obvious that Meisha Tate nor anyone else would have any interest in this he/she claiming to be a woman. I think someone needs to doa gender test on this one
