"Lovely proportioned room, huge and super comfortable bed. If there is one criticism it's that a hotel of this standard should aim to install a decent coffee machine in the rooms - sorry but some packets of instant don't really cut it at this end of the price band!"

Phil Mickelson's equipment deal with Yonex may be worth "between" $20M-25M over five years depending on incentives, according to an AP report on ESPN SportsZone. In return, Yonex "has language in the deal requiring Mickelson to have 14 Yonex clubs in his bag and to wear a hat or visor bearing the company's name." The report adds, "It will be interesting to see if Mickelson sticks to those two provisions since he dislikes wearing a hat, carries a non- Yonex putter and at times" hits a Big Bertha (AP, 1/7). CUTTER & BUCK'S NEW LINE: Seattle-based designer Cutter & Buck "will launch its first-ever line of women's sportswear," according to Lee Moriwaki of the SEATTLE TIMES. The collection will be introduced at the PGA of America show in Orlando, FL, later this month and be available in specialty stores this summer. Moriwaki reported that Cutter & Buck's announcement "caught some industry watchers by surprise" as the company had "indicated it would remain focused on its men's collection." Cutter & Buck named Silvia Roberts, former Nordstrom's designer, as its women's sportswear designer (SEATTLE TIMES, 1/6).

Jeremy Senaris of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Matthew Astorga of Pitt Meadows, British Columbia — the two Filipino-Canadians in the top three finalists for MasterChef Canada 2016 — say they are happy with their success and life-changing experience in Canada's premiere cooking reality show, despite losing the championship title to Mary Berg of Toronto, Ontario.
After all, the two Pinoys emerged among the top three contenders from the original 40 top finalists all over Canada. The 40 who were chosen from thousands of applicants – all hopeful home cooks wanting to clinch the prestigious MasterChef Canada 2016 title, with the cash prize of $100,000 that goes with it.
"A dream come true," says Senaris; "I'm living my dream," says Astorga. The two confided to The Philippine Reporter the positive impact the MasterChef Canada experience brought to their young lives, during an exclusive interview.
Astorga was first eliminated during the competition of the top three finalists, held June 12. Then last Sunday, June 19, during the competition's final segment, Senaris came close to winning the title as he was pitted against Berg.
The two finalists faced off in a competition that involved the preparation of a three course meal: an appetizer, entrée, and a dessert. Both presented culinary creations that impressed the judges. In the end, the three judges gave the title to Berg, earning for her the distinction of being the first woman to ever win the MasterChef Canada title.
Both Senaris and Astorga graciously admit that Berg, who has become a good friend, is a remarkably outstanding chef who "deserves to win."
Meanwhile, doors have opened wide for the two top Pinoy MasterChef contenders as they are now regarded among Canada's shining stars in the highly competitive and discriminating field of culinary art.
Astorga was immediately hired as Corporate Chef by the Joseph Richard Group, a consortium of over a dozen pubs, nightclubs, restaurants and other ventures owned by André Joseph Bourque and Ryan Richard Moreno. He is also collaborating with Season 2 MasterChef winner David Jorge from Surrey, BC on putting up an Asian fusion restaurant, Jorge's second and Astorga's first, that will offer their own brand of cooking.
Senaris has in the works starting this summer a line-up of offerings from individuals and groups to host pop-up dinners in restaurant venues where his kind of cooking will be featured. He has also been approached by Cancer Care Manitoba to host a huge fundraiser dinner for cancer research featuring his own menu — an undertaking close to his heart, as he lost his mother, who had inspired his love for cooking, to cancer.
What follows is The Philippine Reporter's interview with MasterChef 2016 finalist Senaris.
(Interview with third place finalist Astorga will be printed in the next issue of The Philippine Reporter.)
TPR: Could you give us a little bit of your background? What got you interested in food?
SENARIS: I was born in Winnipeg Manitoba in 1981. My parents migrated here from Cavite (Philippines) in the late 70s. I was raised here. My passion for food started when my mom (who was ill with cancer) passed away. I always baked in the kitchen with her when she was alive. We always cooked together. And she taught me how to cook certain things. I would help her cook lumpia, cook empanada. I used to help her, especially when she got sick. I would stay in the kitchen with her, and she would sit at the table, and tell me what to do so I can cook the meal because at that point, she was already sick and couldn't cook. That was really where my cooking comes from. It reminds me of being with her. My memories of her in the kitchen. That's where my love for cooking came from.
TPR: Why did you join MasterChef? How did you find out about it?
SENARIS: I was a fan of the Master Chef U.S. version for quite a long time. And when they finally had the season for the Canadian version, I was really excited, and I tried out for the first Season. I made it in the Manitoba audition, but unfortunately I did not make it to the top 50. So I didn't make it for the first year. After that I didn't want to try it anymore. I tried, but it didn't happen. I wasn't going to try but the people at MasterChef contacted me and urged me to apply for the third season, so I thought what the heck, so I did it again and I made it to the top 40…then those people were flown to Toronto for the competitions and only 14 out of the top 40 got the white apron.
(TPR Note: From the top 14, MasterChef Canada competitions went on every week, with each program culminating in the elimination of one finalist, until Senaris and Berg remained the two finalists to compete for the title of MasterChef Canada 2016, which was eventually won by the latter.)
TPR: How did you find the Season 3 MasterChef experience, in terms of its impact on your life?
SENARIS: The experience itself was amazing – a once in a lifetime experience. Not many people can say they had been through something like this. I think with all the other contestants, we all shared that feeling, that's why we all became such friends, especially I became good friends with Matthew; I treat him like a little brother, and Mary and Veronica and Sean, we all became really really good friends because of this experience.
TPR: From this experience, what doors were opened to you?
SENARIS: It's been opening doors for me, for the Filipino community. I actually got an offer to be a fundraiser for Cancer Care Manitoba. That's an amazing thing to try and help out for something like cancer research.
TPR: What do you think about the results of the competition?
SENARIS: After the results were said, I was sad because I wished that it could have been me as the MasterChef Canada Season 3. But I was still happy for my friend. Mary deserved it. She was a great contender and she's my really good friend. I was sad but I was also happy for her because she deserved it as much as I did.
TPR: What are your dreams? What are your plans?
SENARIS: My dream is to one day open up a restaurant. I would love to have my own concept be based on Filipino food, so more Filipino fusion. Just basically what I have shown on the TV show; basically elevated and modern Filipino food.
TPR: What prospects are there towards your dream of opening a restaurant?''
I have a few pop-up dinners planned in the future, a dinner based on my menu. That's in the works in the next few months. I'll be hosting dinner in restaurants… basically a private function, dinner tasting of my own menu.
TPR: What advice for success do you have for young people — based on your own success — especially for food dreamers who want to be chefs like you?
SENARIS: For me, I've always been one that never wants to give up, and that definitely how my attitude is and was in the competition, as it is in my life. I will never give up until I achieve what I want to achieve. For anybody that wants to join the food industry, I would just suggest: be creative and follow your cooking talent, and your heart.]]>
Two Filipino Canadians are among the RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrants for 2016.
Perla Javate, an educator and community activist who resides in Winnipeg, Manitoba; and Renan Orquiza, engineer and community activist of Mississauga, Ontario are honorees, along with the 23 other recipients, during annual award ceremonies, June 21 in Toronto, and June 23 in Vancouver. Presented by Canadian Immigrant magazine and sponsored by RBC, this annual awards program celebrates the achievements of inspiring Canadian immigrants. Awardees this year include artists, academics, entrepreneurs and activists for several worthy causes.
Javate is currently president of the Philippine Heritage Council of Manitoba, Filipino community liaison officer for the Winnipeg School Division. She has recently been named president of Pinays Manitoba Inc., a women's group advocating for the rights and welfare of Filipino women, especially caregivers and temporary foreign workers. She is also involved with Stronger Together Initiative, a joint undertaking to connect immigrants and refugees of all cultures.
"Being a Canadian means accepting our multicultural heritage, accepting and respecting each other, and allowing ourselves to be enriched by different cultures," she says as quoted by Canadian Immigrant online. "I am proud to be a Filipino-Canadian," she adds.
Orquiza is a project manager at Watters Environmental Group Inc. He serves as the environmental committee chair for Professional Engineers Ontario, and volunteers to promote environmental issues. The 30-year-old also serves as the event ambassador for the Credit Valley Conservation Authority, where he liaises with the public on matters of conservation.
"I have always been passionate about sharing my experiences and knowledge with people in need," Orquiza says, as quoted in canadianimmigrant.ca
The RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrants awards program is also supported by the Toronto Star, Metro Newspaper, Sing Tao, CBC Toronto and South Asian Focus newspaper.
The Philippines and Colombia:
By Joyce Valbuena
Philippines's newly elected President, Rodrigo R. Duterte, vowed he will resume the formal peace negotiations between the government and the National Democratic Front (NDF). Even before his inauguration as President has arrived, Duterte already initiated a dialogue between two parties which was held in Oslo, Norway last week.
What will be the prospect of the peace talk under Duterte's administration? As early as now, Duterte shows ironies in his platforms, however, on a positive outlook, we can only hope that he will seriously move forward the peace negotiation.
Meanwhile the government of the Republic of Colombia and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC) have agreed to install a public table of conversations to talk on the points that will lead to the signing of a Final Accord to end the armed conflict and agree on transformations to attain peace in Colombia. Yet, critics are skeptical to the right wing liberal government that takes the liberal approach to peace process.
In short, nothing is still too clear yet on the success of peace accord in these two countries.
This issue was the topic in a forum organized by the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines-Canada (ICHRP) and Anakbayan in Toronto. Some 30 participants, mostly community members of Philippine and Columbia migrant associations attended the forum which was held at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE-University of Toronto) last June 18.
The discussants noted parallelisms in both countries' stalemates to peace process. Both countries have dismal socio-economic and political conditions where land reform, human rights violations and coercive military operations are major concerns. Likewise, inequality and poverty are prevalent in both countries.
Alicia Kuin, a mediator and conflict facilitator in Toronto and the Founder and Chair of Mediators Beyond Borders Canada, discussed the stalemates to the Philippine-NDF peace negotiation. Kuin wrote her dissertation on this topic when she was taking her PhD in Netherlands. Noting that the Philippine peace negotiation is a four-decade long of raging civil war in struggle for national democracy by NDF and Bangsamoro, Kuin said she sees hope as Duterte commits to resuming peace talks with the revolutionary forces of the NDF. Duterte is an avowed Leftist president who promises to release hundreds of political prisoners; appoints Leftists in his cabinet; takes pro-poor, pro-people positions; and whose initial foreign policy pronouncements indicate greater independence from external dictates.
Kuin said that it is already a good indication that Duterte will soon order the release from prison of 18 NDFP peace consultants and staff allowing them to join in the talks while other political prisoners will also be released on humanitarian grounds.
Another speaker at the forum was Raul Burbano, who hails from Colombia and is the Executive Director of Common Frontiers, a multi-sectoral working group which confronts, and proposes an alternative to, the social, environmental and economic effects of economic integration in the Americas.
Burbano explained that extractive industries and the multi-national mining companies have big interest on vast land area in Colombia. Just like in the Philippines, these companies employ military coercion to displace people resulting to human rights violations. Burbano said that massive inequality in Colombia is the root cause of violence. Burbano said that peace cannot be attained where there is inequality.
Burbano is actively involved in the Alliance of the Peoples of Our America (ALBA), a project that is essentially political, anti-neoliberal and anti-imperialist, founded on the principles of cooperation, accompaniment and solidarity.
Both speakers agree that the US war on terror is affecting peace accords in the Philippines, Colombia and many other countries as it imposes rules on how to combat terrorism yet hinders the efforts of individual countries to create conditions for a lasting peace.]]>

Q.Med, LL.M. (ADR), M.A., B.A.
The peace negotiations, which began in August of 1992, have aimed to address the root causes of the forty-year long protracted conflict between revolutionary forces and the Philippine Government.
The revolutionary movement comprises of the NDF and their allied organizations, the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) and the CPP's armed wing, the New People's Army (NPA).
The focus of the peace negotiations has been the following reforms: Social and Economic Reforms, Political Reforms, and an end to Hostilities and the Disarmament of Forces.
Following 9/11 and the borderless war on terror, the negotiations entered into a new phase of talks: talks characterized by longstanding strategic stalemates sustained by the newly employed label of 'terrorists'.
As a result of the NDF refusing to sign a two-page peace accord capitulating to the demands of the GPH, the American Office of Foreign Assets Control listed Sison, the CPP, and the NPA as persons/organizations supporting terrorism in August 2002.
Since 9/11, there has remained a clear link between the revolutionary movement and the GPH, the relationship between the GPH and the U.S., and the war on terror and the terrorist listings. This has consequently led to an increase in the length of stalemates and amount of back channeling that has taken place during the negotiation process.
Since the terrorist listings, human rights violations in relation to the peace process have seen an increase and there are three main areas that I want to cover: violations in relation to the pre-9/11 agreements; violations in relation to political prisoners, and; violations in relation to children.
According to Sison, the GPH's support for America's war on terror was the first sign of the government disregarding their obligation to two of the negotiation's most important pre-9/11 agreements: the Joint Agreement on Safety and Immunity Guarantees (JASIG), and the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL).
The NDF argues that by supporting the U.S.'s labeling of Sison, the CPP, and NPA as terrorists, the GPH violated the JASIG, which aims to advert any event that could potentially endanger the negotiations.
The NDF further argues that CARHRIHL has been violated as a result of the Philippine and American government's denial that the armed conflict in the Philippines is governed by international humanitarian law.
According an NDF panel member Coni Ledesma, the importance of the GPH abiding by the pre-9/11 agreements is that 'they are the basic fundamental documents of the negotiations. If the GPH abides by these documents and really follows them with a political will, the root causes of the armed conflict will be solved and then the Philippines can start moving forward'.
One of the principles under the JASIG is that each panel can have 'not more than eighty-five (85) documents of identification that shall be duly recognized as safe conduct passes' for political consultants involved in the peace process.
As of today, there are over 500 political prisoners detained in the Philippines, 18 of which are NDF peace consultants who should be protected under the JASIG.
The NDF believes that the government has refused to release the consultants as a confidence building measure because they claim that they are not consultants but rather criminals or terrorists.
The chairperson of the NDF panel, Luis Jalandoni, believes that the biggest significance of their release is that it would be in compliance with, and a show of respect for, the JASIG. It would also be a sign of seriousness in the negotiations and would show a political will in moving forward with the other reforms on the agenda.
The power to move the negotiations out of a stalemate is in the hands of the GPH, which currently controls whether or not the demands of the NDF to release the consultants will be satisfied.
Another contentious issue in the negotiations has been the government's accusation that the NDF uses child soldiers. The NDF believes that the government has used the language of child soldiers to discredit and stigmatize the revolutionary movement.
In investigating the issue of child soldiers, the United Nations Children's Fund requested an objective field study on the 'needs assessment of children and women affected by armed conflict'.
The results of this study confirmed not only the staggering effects that the armed conflict has on women and children, but also that the NPA does follow the minimum age limit for its soldiers.
In support of this finding, the National Council of the NDF ratified in April 2012 the 'Declaration and Program of Action for the Rights, Protection and Welfare of Children.'
In speaking with the Executive Director of the Children's Rehabilitation Center (CRC) in the Philippines, Jacquiline Ruiz, she said that when 'children are forced to falsify their participation in the armed conflict, it results in them being paraded as NPA criminals in media.'
She also noted that from July 2010 – Dec 2015, the Children's Rehabilitation Center documented the following children's human rights violations: the false labeling of 31 'child soldiers'; the extrajudicial killing of 30 children; the arrest, detainment, torture, and sexual assault of 55 children; and the forcible displacement of 38, 294 children due to military occupation and attacks on civilian communities.
The NDFP's 'Declaration and Program of Action for the Rights, Protection and Welfare of Children' reiterates the NDF's commitment to uphold, protect and promote the rights of children from oppression and exploitation, which is also outlined in the CARHRIHL. The NDFP hopes that this declaration will also encourage the GPH to work to ensure that the rights of children are protected.
Under the Aquino and Arroyo regimes, the peace negotiations have experienced years of stalemates and back channeling in the talks. What has been needed in order to move the negotiations forward is a context change in Philippines, which would entail the revolutionary movement gaining greater support from political parties.
The question we now need to ask is this, 'Is a context change and a commitment to and respect for the peace process on the horizon'?
On June 30 of this year, Rodrigo Duterte will take office as the new President of the Philippines. He describes himself as the first Left president of the Philippines and as a socialist.
There has been a lot of talk about this new President, some good and some bad.
The bad includes his Trump-style rhetoric and his active support for extrajudicial killings, which has led human rights groups such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to voice their concerns.
The good includes over twenty years of experience in politics and success reducing the crime rate in his city, due to his tough on crime policies.
In regards to the peace process, Sison has said that 'Duterte has been a long-time member of the multisectoral alliance BAYAN and [has cooperated] with the Communist Party of the Philippines, New People's Army and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines for more than 20 years [during his time] as mayor'.
Duterte has stated that he intends to release all political prisoners and he will declare a ceasefire against the NPA. He had also offered the CPP four cabinet posts in the departments of labor, agrarian reform, social welfare and environment (which the NDFP declined due to the ongoing negotiations).
Once Duterte is sworn into office and his administration is able to make decisions, he will have to put fourth a genuine and sincere interest in the following:
Abstaining from using the 'terrorist' labels when referring to Sison, the NDFP, CPP, NPA, and any political consultants.
Reaffirming a commitment to the negotiations existing agreements (the JASIG and CARHRIHL).
Releasing all of the political consultants by general amnesty.
Implementing of a mutual ceasefire.
Accelerating the peace negotiations in regards to social and economic reforms, political and constitutional reforms, and end of hostilities and disarmament of forces.
While it is fair to remain skeptical of Duterte's commitment to revolutionize the Philippine government from within, I think it is safe to say that we can join the NDFP negotiating panel in their hope and optimism regarding the pursuit of peace in the Philippines.

Much has been written about the wrong or unwelcome pronouncements of incoming president Rodrigo Duterte: his statement on journalist killings, catcalling, revival of the death penalty, and plans to bury late dictator Ferdinand Marcos in the Libingan ng Mga Bayani. An unconventional political figure, he has generated criticism and fear, on one hand, but also, hope and commendation on the other. Here are 15 of Duterte's pronouncements that he got right, and have been welcomed by Filipinos counting on the promise of "change."

Hundreds of Filipino children were barred from attending class when schools opened this week.
The reason? The children have been living in shelters in Zamboanga City since their families fled fighting in the southern Philippines, and the Zamboanga City government failed to submit their school records and other requisite personal data to the Department of Education. It's not clear if or when these kids will be able to attend school.

DURHAM REGION, ONTARIO–The Filipino community in Durham Region is growing steadfastly these past years. One proof of this is the city of Pickering hosting an annual Filipino Fiesta celebration organized by a Filipino non- profit organization.
In Oshawa alone, you can see a lot of activities organized by Filipino individuals or organizations. These Filipinos made several twist and turns in their journeys before coming to Canada in order to create a new life. They brought with them the richness of their cultures and traditions and sharing it to the community in which they belong.
Filipino-Canadians are great at organizing support groups and building organizations to showcase their culture. For one specifically in Oshawa, Durham Region, an organization thrived triumphantly for over 34 years established 1982. They have been very active in the community for that span of time. DFCS- Durham Filipino-Canadian Society, Inc. lived through a lot in over 30 years contributing largely to the community including a Scholarship funds to two schools in Durham Region namely; University of Ontario Institute of Technology and Durham College.
This Fiesta Week 2016, an annual parade organized by the Oshawa Folk Arts Council, the DFCS represented the Filipino community on the 42nd annual parade with a Float that resembled the popular "Bahay Kubo" and proudly walk behind it wearing the traditional costumes which includes the participation of a 'Reyna Elena' impersonated by Fienness Mendoza, a budding solo artist from Hamilton.
DFCS also tabled a candidate for Miss Fiesta 2016 in the person of Elaine Cube. It was a colorful parade and kind of elegant for Filipinos with the DFCS president and Miss Fiesta Week 2016 riding in a red convertable.
The Oshawa Fiesta Week organized by the Oshawa Folk Arts Council is now running 42 years. This year it is participated by about 65 Floats. This year is also a come back by the Filipino community in their participation after being absent for many years.]]>

The radio show airs on Vibe 105.5 FM every Sunday from 1PM-2PM and has been on air waves since 2007 tackling community news and issues that affect migrants rights, human rights, social and environmental justice all linked to the Philippine situation.
"We are offering this award to the listeners of Radyo Migrante particularly the caregivers who are migrant workers themselves and who have been fighting for their rights to permanent residency in Canada. We also offer this award to the Lumads indigenous people of Mindanao who have been fighting for their land that has become a plundering ground for multinational mining companies and has left the Lumads landless in their own ancestral land", Petronila Cleto, Radyo Migrante Collective member said upon receiving the award.
The awards are presented annually to individuals and organizations from across Ontario for their outstanding contribution towards advancement of the rights of racialized people, immigrants and commitment to human rights equity and the elimination of racial discrimination.
"We thank all the RadyoMigrante volunteers for their relentless work to make sure that we have a show every Sunday", Lesley Valiente said, Radyo Migrante volunteer-host and herself a Radyo Migrante collective member. Members of the collective include Jesson Reyes, Mithi Esguerra, Alex Felipe, Rhea Gamana, Sarah Salisi, Luisito Queano, Marco Luciano and Rick Esguerra.
Filipino Workers Network (FWN) co-chair Ben Corpuz also came to witness the awarding joined by FWN members Paulina Corpuz and co-Josh Cuasay. His group was also nominated in the Group Excellence category.
Pura Velasco, a staunch Filipino advocate for migrants rights and a spokesperson with the Caregivers Action Centre, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award. Velasco now lives in Alberta and was not available to receive her award.
The awards are named after J.S. Woodsworth, the first leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) who fought against racial and religious discrimination in Canada and stood up for the rights of all Canadians to right of suffrage regardless of colour, race or ethnic origin.

1. Technical Field
This invention is directed to a process of manufacturing artificial logs for use in gas equipped fireplaces to give the impression of real burning logs.
2. Description of Prior Art
Prior art processes for artificial log manufacturing typically use a screen mold with textured surface elements on the screen that is form fitted into an apertured support mold cavity into which a slurry of mineral or ceramic fibers is deposited. A vacuum is then applied to the mold drawing the liquid therefrom, leaving the mineral fibers collected on the screen surface. The log is removed from the mold and dried in an oven to eliminate the remaining moisture present after molding of approximately 50%. After an extended drying time in the oven the log is removed and color coded for realism and then redried ready for use. See for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,877,417, 5,271,888, 5,284,686, 5,612,266, 5,700,409 and 5,800,875.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,877,417, an artificial fireplace log is disclosed which is partially combustible having a clay carrier and consumable wood fiber portions.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,271,888 is directed towards a ceramic log molding process for forming lightweight synthetic ceramic logs having a flexible porous pattern screen using a vacuum source for withdrawing water from the mold slurry forming a log representation within the mold.
A combustible artificial log is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,284,686 having a composite log formed of ceramic concrete with ceramic fiber sections.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,612,266 shows a decorative non-combustible synthetic fire log formed my mineral foam in a mold shape as a nature wood log. The mineral foam composition is claimed.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,700,409 discloses a method of molding an article in which a flexible mold having an article forming cavity is affixed to a suction chamber so as to release their article within the mold after the molding process.
Mineral fiber log processing is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,800,895 wherein a screen mold is used to impart an exterior log surface. A slurry containing mineral wool fibers is drawn into the mold by a vacuum leaving the mineral fibers within the mold.
Alternate prior art patents have been directed to improvements to artificial logs with enhanced glowing properties by having inserts of refractory and ceramic fibers that have a higher thermal conductivity component compared to the surrounding materials. When heated, these areas will glow at a lower temperature thus imparting a naturalistic feature to the log, see for example U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,877,417, 5,026,579, 5,069,200, 5,284,886 and 5,688,568.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,877,417 an artificial fireplace log is disclosed having a clay carcass and a combustible wood fiber material outer layer.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,025,579 is directed to a composite artificial log where the log is formed from a ceramic concrete upper section and a ceramic fiber lower section having a lower thermal conductivity.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,069,200 discloses a gas fired artificial log assembly having the logs stacked with contoured gas burners positioned within. Portions of the logs are made of ceramic fiber inserts that react to heat impingement.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,284,686 claims ceramic concrete logs with ceramic fiber sections that act as inserts for enhanced visual appearance.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,568 defines a ceramic fire log process wherein a portion of the pre-formed log's surface is loosened to provide a texture and less dense area resulting in a more naturalistic log. The loosening of the fibers is achieved by manual stimulation or abrasion.
An improved process for molding synthetic fiber logs used in gas fireplaces to simulate burning wood logs. The process imparts areas of increased thermal transmission by use of a textured screen with a mold body into which a initial paste of texturing synthetic mineral wood mixture is selectively deposited on portions of the screen. The the slurry of synthetic mineral wool fiber is injected under pressure and then molded under increased air pressure by driving the liquid out of the mold through a plurality of apertures. Once molded, continued air pressure partially dries the formed article to low moisture content in a shortened cycle time. The molded log has areas of increased texturing and heat absorption properties.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an open mold with fixed mesh lining and separable flexible porous screen to be positioned within the mold;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the closed mold illustrating a slurry inlet opening and plurality of grooves elongated longitudinally aligned grooves for liquid removal;
FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of a mold within a mold station capture enclosure illustrating slurry inlet and liquid outlet portals in the mold base;
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the required components of the pressure injection drawing process of the invention;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of an alternate mold base having a plurality of liquid clear apertures therein;
FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of an open mold with fixed mesh lining and separable flexible porous screen with mold texturing thereon and areas of thermal texturing material deposited thereover;
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a coalesced synthetic fiber log with areas of enhanced thermal texturing molded within.
In the present improved process for molding synthetic logs for use in gas fireplace environments, a first step is illustrated in FIGS. 1-3 of the drawings wherein a two-piece mold assembly 10 can be seen having a base body member 11 and a removable top portion 12. Both the base body member 11 and removable top portion 12 have hollowed out interior surfaces 11A and 11B respectively for the formation of a log shaped cavity therebetween. The base and top members 11 & 12 have a plurality of elongated aligned surface grooves 14 connecting the interior surface 11A to its exterior surface 11C through outlet apertures 14A. A non-corrosive metal mesh 15 is contoured within the inner surface 11A of the base body member 11 and acts as a first channel diffuser of liquid in the process.
It will be evident from the above description that the base and top body members 11 and 12 respectively are removably secured by conventional molding processes together as will be well understood by those skilled within the art. The base and top body members 11 and 12 are typically made from castable synthetic compound as is illustrated in this example.
A flexible metallic mesh 16 preferably with a 46% open porosity rate is used as the actual molding surface 17 and has a realistic texture imparted thereon by the employment of synthetic appliques 17A bonded thereto for imprinting the natural look surface to the molded article. Typically, these appliques are applied to represent realistic exterior surface of naturally occurring logs thus imitating a bark consistency with various textures employed therein.
The assembled mold 10 has an inlet opening at 18 in the top body member for registration of an injection pipe 19, best seen in FIG. 3 of the drawings. The entire mold assembly 10 is mounted within a retainment enclosure 20 defining a mold station 21. The retainment enclosure 20 defines a liquid containment and collection structure having multiple upstanding sidewalls 22 with an integral base 23 and access lid 24 hingeably secured thereto so that an operator (not shown) can readily open and access the mold assembly 10 within for removal of the molded article after the molding process. The retainment enclosure's integral base 23 has a plurality of drain openings 25 communicating with a return pipe 27 for liquid associated with the molding process.
Referring now to FIG. 4 of the drawings, a systematic sequence steps can be seen wherein a storage and supply batch tank 28 is filled with a well known mold slurry formulation MS comprising; water, ceramic fiber, starch, and colloidal cilica/sol components. Such slurry formulations are typically set forth in the following batch ratios by weight; water 2,075 lb., ceramic fiber 30 lb., colloidal cilica/sol 3.125 lb. and chromite 1.50 lb. and starch 1.375 lb.
The ceramic fiber is manufactured by a number of companies, an example of same is brand name Fiber Frax, produced by the Carboriadue Company. The fibers are non-combustible with a stable reactivity and are made from alumina and silica and maintains their properties up to a temperature gradient of 2,300 Farenheit.
The coloidal silica/sol has a positive charge for imparting adherence to themselves.
The chromite compound is generally made up of an iron chromite ore with a 3,800 degree Farenheit in this example chosen for illustration. The starch component preferably comprises a starch material made by Chemstar Products Company under the brand name Glucopus having a negative charge and is used to enhance the handling properties of the composition and formed log.
The hereinbefore described disclosed fiber slurry is discharged into a batch injection tank 29 by gravity flow through valve means 29A. The batch injection tank 29 is pressurized by a source of air pressure 30 by a supply line 30A and valving means 30B.
Referring now to FIG. 6 of the drawings, the mold assembly 10 can be seen with the metal mesh 15 and metallic mesh 16 positioned within the base body member 11. A thermal texturing paste material 50 is deposited within the assembled mold base 11C by a hose and nozzle assembly 51 which is connected to a storage source of the thermal texturing paste material 50, not shown. The thermal texturing paste material 50 is preferably composed of a mixture of thermal ceramic materials commercially available in this example as Superwool no. 607�, in bulk form. The fibers are non-combustible with a stable reactivity and are made up of silica (SiO2) 65% by weight, calicium oxide (CaO) 29% by weight, magnesium oxide (MgO) 5% by weight in inert material, 1 percent by weight. Vermiculite is added to the mix along with colloidal silica and water as a binder.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other ceramic wool materials can be substituted for the Superwool 607�, such as mineral wool and refractory ceramics such as Fiber Fax brand. Due to the thermal properties of the thermal texturing paste material 50, it will impart a "glow" to the selected areas of the log replicating charred wood surfaces.
Alternately, a blanket 52 of Superwool 607�, can be used in a method which entails first distributing of vermiculite 53 and the binder shown in dotted lines in FIG. 6 of the drawings, within the mold base 11C on the textured metallic mesh 16 in chosen areas. Sections of Superwool 607� in blanket form are then cut and then placed over the vermiculited areas.
In either applications, the mold 11 is closed and injection control valve 31 opens imparting the batch injection tank content slurry under a positive pressure range of 10-20 psi into the mold assembly 10 via a supply line 31A as best seen in FIG. 3 of the drawings, filling the mold cavity within. The injection control valve 31 is then closed and a drying control valve 32 is opened to a second source of compressed air 33. Air pressure supply to the mold assembly 10 in the range of 35 to 40 psi forces the liquid L out through the drain openings 25 within the mold base 23.
The water is driven out of the mold assembly 10 leaving the ceramic fibers collected on the molding surface 17 of the synthetic mesh 16 within. The water is captured within the retainment enclosure 20 collected and returned to a recycled water storage tank 34. After an express drying cycle of approximately three minutes, the retainment enclosure 20 is open and the log is retrieved from the mold assembly 10 having a highly reduced total moisture content in the range of approximately 30%.
The coalesce log L is transferred to an initial drawing chamber 35 to complete the initial formation of the ceramic fiber log.
Referring now to FIG. 7 of the drawings, a coalesced log 54 of the invention can be seen having areas of impinged textured thermal paste material 50 imparting an enhanced surface treatment areas at 55. As hereinbefore described, the enhanced thermal surface texturing areas 55 will have a different thermal absorption rate that will impart a realistic emberized effect to the log during use and exposure to combustion gases.
Referring now to FIG. 5 of the drawings, an alternate mold assembly 38 is disclosed wherein an alternate mold base 39 can be seen having a plurality of liquid dispersion apertures 40 extending from an inner surface 41 to the outer exterior surface 42 of the mold base 39. The alternate mold assembly 38 is used within the hereinbefore described retainment enclosure 20 and is injected with the mold slurry MS in the same manner as that of the previous mold assembly 10 described above.
It will thus be seen that an improved process for molding synthetic logs for use in gas fireplaces wherein the logs L and 51 have an initial lower moisture content by use of the pressure injection and drawing sequences which reduces the primary oven drying cycle. Additionally, it will be seen that by use of the pressure collation and primary drying steps a much finer texture detail is imparted to the finished log surfaces than hereinbefore has been possible with traditional dip vacuum molding process.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention.

BHC, yeah, basically every team every year has those. There's also two players that are sure fire draft picks, and a few others that have legitimate shots at being late draft picks or to make a roster as rookie free agents. So what's your point?

Broom Hock-
Yeah, well most boards have at least 2 Utah players taken in the first 7 rounds, so I could really care less about what your standards for "sure fire" draft picks are. That's called putting players into the NFL son. Utah fans would know: Our team does it on a yearly basis.

Haha well I hope you have a fantastic private make believe draft viewing party
where no Utes are drafted. I'll be watching the one on ESPN to see where
Bergstrom and Shelby, and possibly Cullen, Black and Asiata end up on Friday and
Saturday. As for putting players in the NFL, looking at recent trends is a
decent indicator. Compared to the other schools in the conference:
USC: 51 alumni currently on NFL rosters (most in the nation)
Cal: 30
Utah: 25
Oregon: 24
Ore St: 20
Arizona: 16
Stanford: 19
By the way, the other school that left the MWC to follow their own path currently has 12.

And soon to be 11, no doubt soon after the Redskins draft RGIII you can bet Beck will be shown the door. Might be a good pick up for QB coach at the Y, he has NFL experience and without the PR nightmare of a petulant post game outburst hanging over him.

The Utes have put a good number of players into the NFL in recent years. Those
numbers have been steadily increasing every year under Whittingham. This year
may not have has many as last year, but I'm sure we will still see a
handful of guys make it to the next level.
I wish them all well and hope for the best for all our former Utes.
Also I think it's only going to get better for the Utes as they upgrade their facilities, and start getting some of that PAC12 money into the program. The recruiting classes have consistently gotten better and better over the last few years as well with this last class being the highest ranked class the Utes have ever had. That is going to have a positive impact on the numbers of Utes in the NFL in the future.
It's a great time to be a Ute!

best friends birthday quotes
Share these quotes in your Facebook
ROSE IS A FLOWER, THAT STAYS FOR AN HOUR. BUT YOUR FRIENDSHIP HAS THE POWER THAT WILL STAYS FOR EVER ........Happy birthday my best friend.
A true friend remembers your birthday but not your age.
A friend never defends a husband who gets his wife an electric skillet for her birthday.
Erma Bombeck
I consider the decision of my colleagues and friends to be the best birthday present.
Vladimir Putin
I'm lost in the middle of my birthday. I want my friends, their touch, with the earth's last love. I will take life's final offering, I will take the last human blessing.
Rabindranath Tagore
Birthdays are good for you. Statistics show that the people who have the most live the longest.
Larry Lorenzoni

By: Leo Robin
By: Red Smith
By: Anais Nin
But what is the good of friendship if one cannot say exactly what one means? Anybody can say charming things and try to please and to flatter, but a true friend always says unpleasant things, and does not mind giving pain. Indeed, if he is a really true friend he prefers it, for he knows that then he is going good.
Oscar Wilde
These people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet.
Name's Barf. I'm a Mog, half man half dog. I'm my own best friend.
Real friends are very special, but you have to be careful because sometimes you have a friend and you think they are made of rock, then suddenly you realise they're only made of sand. It's a terrible thing to go through life thinking that you have a rock on your side when you haven't.
Maria Callas
A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling.
