1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to the construction and operation of solar receivers capable of exposing a flowing stream containing suspended, energy-absorptive particles in the air to focused solar radiation. More particularly, the invention relates to a design of a solar receiver in which the particles are exposed through an open aperture in the receiver.
Power generation using a field of heliostats to focus solar radiation on a central receiver tower has been demonstrated. Current receiver designs expose metal-tubed heat exchangers to the solar radiation and either generate steam directly by heating water in the exchangers or use nitrate salts or liquid sodium as an "intermediate" energy absorbing fluid and transfer the energy to water in order to generate steam for a Rankine-cycle power plant.
Solar receivers to heat air have been proposed which expose ceramic tubes to the solar radiation. However, these systems are unattractive because ot their high cost, large technical risk and low receiver efficiency.
An alternate approach has been suggested for efficiently heating air to a high temperature and using the heated air with a Brayton-cycle gas turbine to generate electricity. Submicron carbon particles suspended in air are exposed to solar radiation from a focused heliostat field. Because of their small size, the particles efficiently absorb the radiation and heat the surrounding air by conduction. The carbon particles eventually become oxidized, leaving a clean, heated airstream. The heated airstream may be used to drive a Brayton-cycle gas turbine which is coupled to an electrical generator.
Compared to solar Rankine-cycle systems, solar Brayton-cycle (gas turbine) systems have the following advantages. They are simple power conversion systems with higher reliability and lower operating and maintenance costs. They can be commercially attractive at smaller sizes. Their inherent low water requirements increase the siting potential for central receivers in arid regions. They are more easily adaptable to fossil hybrid operation which increases the plant availability.
Although the use of solar radiation to heat a suspension of carbon particles promises a significant improvement in the efficiency of solar electrical generation, development of such systems has been hindered because of high cost, fabrication difficulties, and operational limitations associated with the very large windows required for commercial systems. Such windows may be from 5 to 10 meters across, or larger, and must be able to withstand the very high air temperatures which appear to be achievable. Such windows would be very expensive if they are available at all.
Thus, it would be desirable to provide solar receivers which do not require the use of high temperature transparent windows for containing the carbon particle-laden airstream. In particu-ar, it would be desirable to provide solar receivers capable of exposing the particulate-laden airstream through an open aperture.
2. Description of the Background Art
U.S. Pat. No. 4,095,118, to Rathbun describes a self-contained solar power generation system wherein a compressor, particle generator, turbine, and solar receiver are located in a central tower positioned to receive sunlight from a mirror field on the ground. The receiver includes a transparent window to contain the particle-laden working fluid. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,313,304 and 4,403,601 to Hunt describe a solar receiver having a transparent window and a transparent heat shield. The heat shield is mounted inside the receiver and defines two chambers. By directing clean air througn the chamber between the window and the shield, and particle-laden air through the central chamber, the window is protected from excessively high temperatures. An alternate solar receiver design is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,499,893 to Hunt et al. A small quartz window at the bottom of the receiver defines a focal plane capable of receiving light from a 360° field. Although minimizing the quartz required for the window, the design further requires a quartz outlet tube to collect heated gases after they have been exposed to solar flux. U.S. Pat. No. 4,452,771 to Hunt and Department of Energy bulletin DOE/TIC/EG-85/046 describes an improved carbon particle generator for use in solar energy systems of the type just described.
According to the present invention, a radiation receiver useful for a solar central receiver tower includes a housing, means for inducing a flow of particle-laden air through the housing, and means for simultaneously inducing flow of a clear auxiliary airstream through the housing adjacent the particle-laden airstream. Optionally, means may also be provided for inducing the flow of an air curtain through the housing adjacent the auxiliary airstream. The housing includes an open aperture in one wall, and the particle-laden gas is heated by exposure to solar radiation focused through the aperture. In particular, the particles in the particle-laden airstream absorb the solar radiation, transfer heat to the airstream by conduction, and eventually are oxidized. By leaving the aperture completely open, that is without any window or lens, highly efficient radiative heat transfer is achieved. Moreover, the airstream can be heated to very high temperatures without any limitations derived from the temperature tolerance of the window or lens material.
To inhibit mixing of ambient air with the particle-laden airstream, the auxiliary airstream comprising substantially clear air is injected in the plane of the aperture between the particle-laden air and the ambient. The auxiliary airstream moves at substantially the same velocity as the particle-laden airstream and acts as a sacrificial layer which is diverted from the receiver prior to utilization of the heated airstream. For this purpose, a diverter plate is positioned at the exit end of the aperture. The diverter plate is adjustable to skim a portion of the airflow which is cooler than the main flow.
In addition, disturbances to the particle-laden airstream caused by winds which would be expected during normal operation of the solar central receiver can be inhibited by the air curtain. The air curtain will usually have a mass flow rate at least equal to and up to twice that of the particle-laden airstream and a velocity which usually exceeds that of the particle-laden and auxiliary airstreams. In this way, the air curtain acts as a barrier to prevent loss of the heated airstream, which otherwise could result in a heat loss of trom 2 to 6 percent.
The receiver may be used in a Brayton-cycle gas turbine system for generating electricity, where the system further includes an air-air heat exchanger, a turbine generator, and a particle generator. Particles, usually pyrolyzed carbon particles, are injected into an airstream at atmospheric pressure, and the particle-laden airstream is passed through the solar receiver where it is heated, typically to temperatures in the range from about 600° to 2000° C. A compressed airstream is then heated by the heated airstream in the air-air heat exchanger, and the hot atmospheric pressure compressed airstream used to drive a turbine-generator. Exhaust air from the turbine generator may then be used as the airstream into which particles are injected. In this way, electricity may be generated in a highly efficient and economic manner.
In addition to electricity generation, the receiver can be used in a system to produce fuels or energy-intensive chemicals using a convectively heated process reactor in place of the air-air heat exchanger. Alternatively, the receiver could supply heat, in the form of high temperature, atmospheric pressure air, to an industrial process.

FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of the solar electricity generating system of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration of an alternate electricity generating system constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention, and employing a thermal mass heat storage element.
Referring to FIG. 1, a solar central receiver plant 10 includes a tower 12 and an equipment enclosure or housing 14 mounted on the upper end of the tower. The tower 12 includes a base 16 which is mounted on the ground G in a suitable manner to support the structure under the particular weather and geologic conditions encountered at the site. The receiver tower 12 will typically be at least several hundred feet in height, usually being at -east 500 feet in height, or more, depending on the power capacity of the plant 10.
The central receiver plant 10 is located adjacent a solar collector field (not illustrated) including a plurality of individual heliostats which focus solar radiation into an aperture 18 in the enclosure 14, as will be described in greater detail hereinafter. The number of heliostats may vary from several hundred to several thousand, with individual heliostats usually having a mirror area from about 50 m2 to 200 m2, typically being about 100 m2. The collector field may be spread over an arc of from about 60° to 180° emanating from the base 16 of the receiver tower 12, and may cover a total area in the range from about 100 to 400 acres. For a 40 MW electrical generating capability, a solar collector field covering an area of about 250 acres will usually be required.
Referring now to FIGS. 2 and 3, the enclosure 14 houses a heat exchanger 20, a start-up combustion unit 22 and a compressor, turbine, and generator set 24. A radiation receiver 30 is mounted on the side of enclosure 14 and connected to discharge a heated airstream to the heat exchanger 20. Air to the radiation receiver 30 is provided by turbine exhaust from the compressor, turbine, and generator set 24, as will be described in more detail hereinafter. A particle generator 32 is connected to inject particles, usually pyrolyzed carbon particles, into a portion of the airstream entering the radiation receiver 30.
Referring now in particular to FIG. 3, the radiation receiver 30 includes a housing having a front wall 32, a back wall 34, and side walls 36 (only one of which is visible in FIG. 3) which define a flowpath from the bottom 38 of the receiver to the top 40 of the receiver. The front wall 32 of the receiver includes aperture 18 and further includes an adjustable diverter plate 42 at its upper end.
The geometry of the housing is not critical, but the thickness of the flowpath between the front wall 32 and back wall 34 will generally be substantially less than the width (defined by the width of faces 32 and 34) and less than the length (defined by the length of faces 32 and 34). Usually, the length is at least ten times the thickness, while the width is at least five times the thickness. In this way, complete exposure of the flowing airstreams may be achieved in a relatively short residence time (usually in a range from about one-tenth to one second). The area of the aperture may vary considerably (depending on the desired power output) and will usually be in the range from about 50 m2 to 250 m2, usually being about 100 m2.
Turbine exhaust enters the lower end 38 of the radiation receiver 30 where it is directed generally upward by a contoured plate 44. Additionally, the turbine exhaust is divided into a main airstream 46 and auxiliary airstream 48 by a partition plate 50. Particles are injected only into the main airstream 46 through a conduit 52 connected to the particle generator 32 (see FIG. 1). A baffle plate 54 directs the particles upstream on the upper side of partition plate 50 so that they are carried upward in the main airstream 46. Thus, the main airstream 46 will include a preselected concentration of particles, while the auxiliary airstream 48 will be substantially free from such particles.
An air inlet manifold 60 is provided adjacent the contoured plate 44. The manifold 60 is connected to an airblower 62 (FIG. 4) so that a third airstream may be directed upward through the radiation receiver 30 generally in the plane of the aperture 18. As described in more detail hereinbelow, the airstream directed through the manifold 60 acts as an air curtain which protects and buffers the inward airstreams 46 and 48 from disturbances from the ambient, particularly wind disturbances.
Referring now to FIG. 4, operation of the radiation receiver 30 and associated electrical generation equipment will be described in detail. Ambient air enters a first stage compressor 66 of the compressor, turbine, and generator set 24. After an initial stage of compression, the air is passed through an intercooler 67 and then into second stage compressor 68. Air discharged from the second stage compressor 68 is typically at a pressure in the range from about 75 to 500 psig, more typically in the range from about 150 to 300 psig.
Air from the second stage compressor 68 then passes through heat exchanger 20 where it is heated by a heated airstream emanating from the radiation receiver 30, as will be described in more detail hereinbelow. The heated, compressed airstream from heat exchanger 20 then passes to turbine unit 70 where it drives the compressors 66 and 68 as well as an electrical generator (not illustrated) which provides the desired electricity. The air exhaust from the turbine 70 then passes to the lower end of the radiation rece:ver 30, as described previously with reference to FIG. 3. Particles are injected into the main airstream 46 by particle generator 32 while the auxiliary airstream 48 remains substantially free from particles.
The particles injected in the main airstream 46 are intended to absorb solar radiation focused through the aperture 18 in the receiver wall 32. A wide variety of particles are suitable to absorb sunlight, including materials which are reactive with air, such as pyrolyzed carbon, and materials which are non-reactive with air, such as silicon carbide and other ceramic materials. Preferred is the use of pyrolyzed carbon particles which have a high intrinsic absorptivity and selectivity for solar radiation, which can be economically generated at the site of the apparatus, and which eventually oxidize leaving particle-free gas entering the heat exchanger 20. Pyrolyzed carbon particles may be generated from an organic feedstock, such as oil or natural gas, by passing the fuel through a high temperature, refractory-lined reactor. Some air is introduced to the reactor to produce carbon particles having a desired size, typically in the range from about 0.1 to 1.0 μm, more typically in the range from about 0.2 to 0.5 μm. Equipment suitable for generating carbon particles is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,452,771, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The carbon particles are injected into the main airstream 46 at the concentration in the range from about 0.5 to about 3.0 grams per cubic meter, typically about 1.0 grams per cubic meter.
The total mass of flow rate of the turbine exhaust directed at the radiation receiver 30 will depend on the desired electrical production capacity of the plant 10. Typically, the flow rate may vary from about 50 kg/sec to about 300 kg/sec, more usually being in the range from about 75 kg/sec to 150 kg/sec. These flow rates correspond to systems having electrical generating capacity in the range from about 10 to 100 MW, more usually in the range from about 20 to 50 MW. The velocity of the airflow at the radiation receiver 30 will typically be in the range from about 20 to 100 m/sec, more usually in the range from about 40 to 60 m/sec. Usually, the auxiliary airstream 48 will comprise about 0.05 to 0.10 times that of the main airstream 46, and it may be desirable to provide a second source of air for the auxiliary airstream 48 in addition to or in place of the compressor exhaust.
The air curtain injected through manifold 60 will typically have a volumetric and mass flow rate at least equal to and as much as twice that of the turbine exhaust which carries the particles through the receiver. The initial flow velocity of the air curtain may be the same or greater than that of airstreams 46 and 48. Preferably, the flow rate of the air curtain is about equal to that of the adjacent airstreams 46 and 48 in order to isolate the main particle-laden airstream 46 from outside wind disturbances. The velocity of the air curtain, however, will decrease more rapidly than either the main or auxiliary airstreams 46 and 48, since the air curtain is not affected by the pressure gradient provided by fan 82 (FIG. 4).
As observed in FIG. 4, a particle cloud 80 is formed by the upward flow of the main particle-laden airstream 46 in the radiation receiver 30. As the particles and air travel upward through the receiver 30, they are heated and the particles are eventually oxidized, limiting the extent of the cloud as illustrated. The particle-laden airstream 46 spreads outward from the rear wall 34 and toward the aperture 18 due to the volumetric expansion of the air during heating.
The diverter plate 42 is adjusted, depending on the ambient wind conditions, to divide the upward flow of air, allowing the heated air to travel inward to the heat exchanger 20, while directing the auxiliary airstream and any mixed air curtain to the outside of the receiver. The heated air is drawn through the heat exchanger by a fan 82 and expelled through an exhaust port 83 to the ambient.
An alternate embodiment 100 of a solar central receiver tower is illustrated in FIG. 5. The receiver 100 includes a thermal mass 102 located in the body of the tower 112. By passing heated air 114 down through the thermal mass 110, a reservoir of heat is provided for times when solar radiation is unavailable. In such cases, aperture 118 can be closed by doors, and air cycled through the receiver 100, which air is heated by the thermal mass. After exiting the thermal mass 102, the air enters heat exchanger 120 where it acts to heat a compressed airstream, as described hereinbefore. The remaining operation of the system 100 is substantially the same as that of the system 10 described hereinbefore.
The system just described allows the attainment of air temperatures approaching 2000° C., usually being about 700° to 1700° C. Heat absorption in the darkened airstream takes place at solar flux levels greater than 2 MW/m2, so that the size of the heat absorption region can be made quite small compared to that of conventional receivers. This is an advantage since the area subject to re-radiation and reflection losses is minimized. Moreover, heat absorption takes place in the airstream and away from receiver walls, so that the surfaces of the walls are cooler than those of the air temperature, further reducing radiative heat losses and simplifying the selection of materials. Finally, the ability to operate without a transparent lens or cover over the aperture in the solar receiver allows much higher operating temperatures and greatly reduces the cost of the solar central receiver.
Althougn the foregoing invention has been described in some detail by way of illustration and example for purposes of clarity of understanding, it will be obvious that certain changes and modifications may be practiced within the scope of the appended claims.

Working up a sweat! Ashley Greene shows off the results of a vigorous gym session in a damp T-shirt
With her patchy sweat soaked T-shirt, damp hair and wide smile, it very much looked like Ashley Greene had been through a successful workout on Monday.
The 26-year-old Twilight star emerged from a Los Angeles gym afterwards in the black top which depicted the state of California in white with the word 'home' printed in the middle.
The actress smiled and carried a bottle of water as she left the gym wearing black leggings and a pair of matching trainers.
California girl: Florida native Ashley Greene left a Los Angeles gym on Monday wearing a sweat-soaked Golden State T-shirt
The pretty brunette wore her hair in a high bun and sported a pair of large black sunglasses while carryinga large green bag.
Despite her California T-shirt, Ashley was raised in Florida, moving to Los Angeles when she was only 17 to pursue a career in acting.
She had a couple of minor uncredited roles before landing her big break portraying vampire Alice Cullen in 2008 movie Twilight, also starring in its four follow-up films.

Vampire star: Ashley moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting and got her big break when she was cast in the Twilight series of films
Ashley has been cast in the comedy-drama Wish I Was Here that will be directed by Zach Braff, who also co-wrote the script and will star in the movie.
She replaced Anna Kendrick who had to bow out of the film due to scheduling conflicts and will portray Janine, a young woman who becomes the romantic interest of Braff's brother, played by Josh Gad.
Wish I Was Here started filming in Los Angeles earlier this month after the Scrubs star raised $3.1 million to fund it with a monumental Kickstarter campaign.

Rising star: Ashley, shown earlier this month at a film premiere in Los Angeles, in more glam mode
The film also stars Jim Parsons of the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory, Kate Hudson and Mandy Patinkin.
The movie is currently scheduled to be released in September 2014.
However, she will first be seen in the role of Lisa Kristal in the upcoming CBGB - a film about New York City's iconic nightclub.
Ashley plays the fiery daughter of Hilly Kristal, the man who owned the venue which heavily influenced the punk scene when it opened in 1973.
'It's a little nerve-racking to play someone who existed - who's a real person that's still alive,' the actress told E! News last year about the role.
'You're like, "Oh, they can yell at me if I do a bad job!" But it's going to be cool to get to talk to her about it and [learn about] personal experiences from her.
'It's going to be a fun adventure for me because I haven't really played someone who is that tough yet,' the actress added. 'I want to make sure I get it right without making her - she's not a b***h!
'She's just very...she's a New Yorker. They have a specific personality and air about them. They're survivors.'
The film co-stars Alan Rickman as Hilly Kristal, Malin Åkerman as Debbie Harry and Harry Potter star Rupert Grint as rocker Cheetah Chrome and is expected to be released this October.

Man of the moment Martin Guptill spent the day after his match-winning innings in a medical centre waiting room in Auckland.
Rather than travel to Napier with his victorious New Zealand team-mates, Guptill was waiting for an MRI scan last night on his injured left hamstring.
An injury update is expected today as Guptill eyes the test series against England, starting on March 6, for his earliest return to the side.
Having limped off Seddon Park yesterday, barely able to walk unaided after suffering the injury while running a quick single, medical staff were well aware he might be required to bat later.
His left leg was iced, then he lay on the dressing room seats testing the range of movement in his hamstring. It was difficult because he was not allowed to be idle for too long.
"He was having a lot of ice treatment when he came off, then he went through a period of stretching, and keeping him loose and keeping him warm," team-mate Kyle Mills said.
"They didn't want him to sit down for a long period ... so he was always on the move and always there to go if need be. Ideally, we wouldn't have liked him to go out and have a bat but we just got to that situation where he was required and, thankfully, he did it from ball one."
Guptill was always going to bat with five overs or fewer remaining to restrict the running required. He arrived on the last ball of the 46th over with New Zealand needing 41 off 25 balls.
There was concern he might aggravate the injury.
"We were trying to not use him at all but it got to a situation where his ability to strike the ball was needed and it got down to those last five to six overs," Mills said.
Guptill blasted 24 off 10 balls to end 27 not out.

Echuca hospital funding battle
The Echuca hospital expansion has become the latest front in the health funding war being conducted between the Victorian and federal governments.DARREN LINTON January 5, 2013 4:30am
The expansion of the Echuca hospital has been caught up in a cash dispute between the Victorian and federal governments.
Victorian Health Minister David Davis went on the attack yesterday claiming his federal counterpart Tania Plibersek had failed to pay Victoria more than $159
Mr Davis said after ripping $475
"Minister Plibersek was keen to tell everyone that we had not submitted our account for this work, but the invoice was sent to her on November 12, so it's time now for her to put the stamp on the envelope and ensure that the cheque really is in the mail," Mr Davis said.
"It's now some five weeks since we sent the letters to Canberra, and the promised money hasn't been forthcoming. Work on most of these projects is either well advanced or in some cases completed, so we would appreciate the Federal Government meeting its obligations."
Mr Davis said Victoria had committed $140.13
Mr Davis' attack is the latest shot in a war of words over health funding and whether the appropriate paperwork has been done to release the funds.
Ms Plibersek said earlier this week the Baillieu Government was delaying work needed by regional communities.
''The Victorian Health Minister is acting like a spiv, wants Commonwealth money for nothing and is yet again playing politics with important health facilities for regional and rural Victoria,'' she said.

Antiques Roadshow TV Show Watchlist
Season 8, Episode 5 San Francisco
First Aired: February 2, 2004
Appraised in San Francisco (Part 2 of three): an Ansel Adams California-mission photograph; a pair of English silver perfume bottles from the 1680s; a Bowie knife; and some surprisingly valuable Crackerjack postcards (and a Christmas card with a picture of Santa Claus in a mauve suit). In addition, appraiser Leila Dunbar on what to look for in autographed baseballs; appraiser Barry Weber on jewelry markings; and a number of appraisers on items brought into the "Roadshow" that aren't valuable ("at least in money," says host Lara Spencer).

Unusual burger toppings are all the hype right now, but why should burgers alone get all the attention? Hot dogs will be leaping into the spotlight this summer, too, as they shed their traditional relationship with ketchup and mustard in favor of some more exciting toppings (Credit: Flickr_StevenDepolo).
Recently, more chefs have been focusing on the hot dog's incredible versatility, and various states around the U.S. have been establishing their own opinions about what makes the perfect hot dog. Chefs and home cooks can expand these interesting hot dog variations beyond the U.S., however, by drawing from key cuisine ingredients from various world cultures.
As an example, restaurants and food carts like AsiaDog have been boosting hot dogs' reputation as inexpensive street food by offering customers hot dogs with an Asian twist, featuring a menu of eight hot dogs that are anything but ordinary.
RELATED: 8 Creative Hot Dog Recipes
But why stop with Asian-inspired hot dogs? You can make the classic American hot dog into a vehicle for worldly cuisine by playing with all kinds of toppings. Challenge yourself at your next summer barbecue to expand your hot dog repertoire by making a hot dog with mango salsa and avocados for a Mexican influence, or a gravy-infused spoonful of mashed potatoes for a British spin.
It's time to celebrate an American staple with various toppings that give a nod to all of the different world cultures that make America the melting pot that it is. Take your next barbecue as an opportunity to explore your own cultural heritage by topping your hot dog with foods that are traditional to your family, cultural background, or ethnicity.
What better way is there to ring in the summer than with a second look at the popular, well-loved hot dog? The possibilities are endless.

It would appear that SABMiller's troops have been ordered to stand down for the time being. Developments in Australia yesterday (21 March), regarding the brewer's Pacific Beverages joint venture with Coca-Cola Amatil, would suggest that SABMiller won't be making a move for Foster's Group's brewing division any time soon.

Richard Lourie: Restoring Russia's GreatnessRoundup: Media's Take
Richard Lourie is the author of Sakharov: A Biography and The Autobiography of Joseph Stalin.
Greatness is an odd word because it signifies both quantity and quality. In the case of Russia, the two are easily confused. Even after the huge territorial losses incurred with the Soviet collapse, Russia still accounts for one-seventh of the Earth's surface. Therefore, it has a geographical imperative to think big.
Russia is unlike Britain and France, which shrank back to their middle-sized home nations after losing their empires, making the transition to second-rateness with good grace. Russia's loss of empire was more sudden, destructive and humiliating. Russia suffers from the malaise of lost greatness, the gigantic hangover that results when a historical bender comes to its inevitable bad end.
Both Britain and France were able to fashion post-imperial identities for themselves. This was facilitated for Britain by English becoming the lingua franca of the age, and by world pop culture figures like the Beatles and James Bond. Russian culture had never much transcended the country's own borders. Kvas never rivaled Pepsi as Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev had hoped. The one great exception was Russian literature, where writers like Alexander Solzhenitsyn dwarfed most others in moral range, sweep and depth. But in post-Soviet Russia, literature no longer plays the crucial role it had played for some two centuries. In fact, Russia today proves disappointingly slack in the realm of painting, cinema and literature. That is partly the result of modern conditions, in which entertainment and technology are the dominant forces. But there are also specific Russian causes.
Post-Soviet Russia has been marked by three ongoing failures...

Congratulations on your second anniversary with Spoonflower, Pamela. How anyone could possibly choose just one of your designs as a favorite is beyond me, but this one is a real beauty. The shading and gradient is very effective and all the fine detail is lovely.

glimmericks says:
Thanks, Joan. might have gone with this but then I remembered the curse of the red contest entry. Yellow may not be much better in a contest but I'm sticking with it.
joanmclemore says:
Looks great on that fat quarter.
glimmericks says:
Thanks, Su. It is so hard for me to settle on a design for a contest entry. I really liked this one too.
su_g says:
This colorway really catches me eye - again and again - the range of reds and reddish browns are very appealing, and I especially like the way the red dots stand out so strongly.

This item sold on August 27, 2012.
This driftwood root would be good for aquarium or terrarium use, floral, taxidermy, or as a base for orchids or bromeliads. It is nicely sun bleached in places, the darker sections still have some bark attached. There is no soft wood, but the 'arms' are a bit fragile. I remove any soft or weak wood, clean them, and rinse with boiling water to disinfect. It is otherwise untreated. In an aquarium, the arms will soften and break from the tips down after a year or so, the rest should last for several years. It will stain the water for a while and will not sink by itself for a few months. It will stand by itself on the sides, but not on end. Price includes shipping

Rumors of RIM buying big touchscreens spark further rumors of tablet plans
Reports from component suppliers in Asia have RIM buying an unspecified number of 8.9″ touchscreens from supplier Hon Mai. The sources are unnamed and the original report is proving difficult to track down; the only copy of it seems to be in CrackBerry's possession (copied below). That already places this rumor in pretty unlikely territory, but hey, you be the judge. Read More
Palm stock continues to climb, all thanks to the Rumor Mill
Two days ago, something crazy happened: after spiraling downward for almost a year, Palm's stock finally started to climb thanks to a rumor that Lenovo was considering snatching the injured company up.

Debunk: No, iPhone OS 4.0 Beta isn't jailbroken.. yet.

This is inaccurate. The truth: it's all just a bit of miscommunication. When asked (via Twitter)… Read More

Review: HTC HD2 on T-Mobile
Short Version: Pity the poor HD2.

Finally, Bluetooth keyboard support for the iPhone
Back when the iPad came out and the SDK was being explored, Greg singled out a few iPad features that we felt would be useful on the iPhone.

You can get some quite nice keyboards for a decent price, and they'll make long emails or blog posts much, much more… Read More

Flash hooks in iPhone OS 4.0 SDK – no, not that kind of Flash
A couple new hooks in the 4.0 APIs seem to indicate a device with a built-in flash. Yes, as in a camera flash: AVCaptureFlashMode (auto/off/on modes)
AVCaptureDevice.hasFlash Well, that could mean either a flash on the new iPhone (likely) or an external flash available as an accessory (less likely, but still possible). Or native pairing with certain cameras? That'd be insane. It's… Read More
Everything you need to know about iPhone OS 4.0

Gasp! AT&T's "Unlimited" data plan for the iPad 3G to actually be unlimited
I'm trying to keep the iPad-related posts here on MobileCrunch down to a minimum, because I figure you're getting enough of it shoved in your face by other blogs, Twitter, and your mother after she saw it mentioned on the news and wanted to bond with you. With that said, this one gets a pass for being as much AT&T-related as it is iPad-related. You see, most of the major… Read More

YoungHeart Manawatu were brought back to earth with a thud yesterday, losing 4-2 to Hawke's Bay United in Napier.
After opening the national league with a 3-0 win over Otago United last week, Manawatu's spirits were high. But Hawke's Bay quickly snuffed those out, taking the lead after six minutes, and never looked back on their way to 4-0 before Manawatu grabbed a couple of late goals.
The result would have brought back memories of last year where the Manawatu defence leaked like a sieve.
YoungHeart coach Stu Jacobs was disappointed with the result after last week's improved performance.
"We couldn't break Hawke's Bay down and I thought they defended very well," Jacobs told asbpremiership.co.nz. "I thought when we got back to 4-2, if we scored again we would go on and win the game."
Hawke's Bay looked like they were cruising and in the second half Manawatu started to get more ball and to create some chances.
Jacobs went to his bench to stop the rot, bringing on Nathan Cooksley, Jordan Martens and Lewis Cumber.
And while it did create some nerves in the Hawke's Bay coaching box, 4-0 was too big a lead to haul in.
New Hawke's Bay signing Sean Lovemore continued his goal-scoring form as he found the back of the net each side of halftime to go with Stephen Hoyle's and Cole Peverley's early strikes.
Late in the second half, Tom Mosquera and new recruit Cumber scored for Manawatu.
Cumber, a defender or midfielder, has come over from England and made his debut off the bench.
Even after the poor result, Manawatu are still in fourth place on the table, with a superior goal difference keeping them above Canterbury.
But it doesn't get any easier for YoungHeart as they host champions Waitakere United at Memorial Park next Sunday. Waitakere beat Waikato FC yesterday and beat Team Wellington 3-0 in the first round.
Hawke's Bay United 4 (Stephen Hoyle 6', Cole Peverley 31', Sean Lovemore 45', 46') YoungHeart Manawatu 2 (Tom Mosquera 75', Lewis Cumber 76'). Halftime: 3-0.

Campaigners confident Respect for Marriage Act will progress through US Senate
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Senator Feinstein is a fine ally (despite a shaky start in the 1980s). To quote: "I count on all of you to keep the pressure on Washington until we achieve our shared mission: equal treatment under the law for all LGBT Americans." That said, I have doubts that the effort will be successful, we are in the election phase and pandering to bigots is a vote winner for too many people.
Bring it on!!
It's going nowhere. The republicans will filibuster any attempt to overturn DOMA. Apparently, in the U.S. Senate, you need a 60 vote majority which won't happen because there are several very conservative democrats who come from equally conservative states who will not support passage, just as they have done on a lot of other legislation. They voted with the republicans to defeat virtually everything the Obama administration tried to get passed. It will be many many decades before marriage equality happens in the remaining 44 states and if New Hampshire's and Iowa's ame-sex marriage laws are overturned, 46.
Even in this ended up at the Supreme Court of the United States, there are 5 staunchly conservative catholic judges who would not overturn it.
Yes, even if it passed in the Senate it would never would be enacted and passed in the Republican controlled House. As one commentator opined in this thread,it will take many years before members of our community in the US will have the same rights to marry with all the accompanying benefits therein, as our heterosexual brethren.
We have a very similar situation in Europe. It is very wrong that a marriage conducted in one EU member state is not recognised in another. It would be a major advance if this could be changed as it would effectively open marriage up to same sex couples across the whole of the EU, including several homophobic regimes. This is where we must focus our efforts once we have achieved marriage equality in the UK.
The Respect for Marriage Act is not about any right to same-sex marriage or about recognition of same-sex marriages by other States. The bill is purely about recognition of same-sex marriages by the Federal government, the state in which a couple reside and are therefore citizens of would decide whether same-sex marriage was recognised. If it did so would the Federal government.
The Republicans in the US are setting a dangerous precedent to its own cherished "states rights" platform. DOMA is a major incursion into the rights of states to legislate within their own constitutionally allowed areas. DOMA is saying to the 50 states that the federal government will now decide which laws it feels are valid. Can you imagine the hue and cry if the opposite were in place. What if the law read the federal government would withhold benefits from those states that outlaw equal marriage.
Robert, thanks for your comment; I didn't know you needed a 60 vote majority in the US Senate- very interesting. We shall see what happens in the next couple weeks, then.

What is 'Vendor Financing'
Vendor financing is the lending of money by a company to one of its customers so that the customer can buy products from it. By doing this, the company increases its sales even though it is basically buying its own products.
Next Up
BREAKING DOWN 'Vendor Financing'
This is a sneaky method a company can use to increase sales. It is also very risky, as the companies it lends money to are usually not very financially stable and may never pay back the money. If they don't pay back the debt, the lending company will just write-down the loss as a bad debt.

Portland Meadows set a new single-day handle record Monday when $657,311 was bet on the nine-race program.The previous record was $640,000 handled in one day in December. Portland Meadows recently switched its live program from Sunday to Monday racing."This is why we made the change from Sundays to Mondays" said general manager Jeff Grady. "Many outsiders questioned the move but we at MEC Oregon are determined to make racing in Portland great again. We have been fortunate in seeing Oregonians respond with such enthusiasm."According to a Portland Meadows press release, Sunday cards in 2002-2003 averaged between $150,000 to $200,000 in handle. Since the inception of Monday racing it has averaged greater than $450,000.
