I have been a professional musician since High School, playing in various bands and clubs. In 1969, the year I graduated, I joined a group called Yellow Hair. We based ourselves out of Omaha, NE, as that is where the bass player, Scott McCarl, was from. We had a couple of local 45s "Somewhere" b/w "Talent for Lovin" (this song has since become a Garage Band classic) and "I Wanna Be Free" b/w "Dreamin." The Yellow Hair group remained together for 2 years and broke up in 1971. We had quite a bit of local success and our "Somewhere" 45 ended up at about #10 on the St. Joseph, MO radio chart. Scott would later go on to join the Raspberries. I continued playing in various bands throughout the 70s and in 1979 moved to Florida to join a band, and lived in Florida and Georgia for about 5 years each, playing in various housebands and roadbands, playing in various states; Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama. For the last 10 or so years I have been primarily a stay-at-home musician, writing songs. My songwriting interest started as soon as I picked up a guitar, could play 3 or 4 chords, became an official Beatle-nut, and has continued since. I've always been dabbling at writing songs, my first love besides guitar. I write all styles; country rock, blues, folk, pop, some guitar instrumentals, etc.
By the way, if anyone is interested in performing or recording any of my music, please contact me.
In my links I have a link to the St. Joseph Music Foundation. When you reach that page in the upper corner is button you can click to pull up their internet radio station and there you can search by artist, I believe, and you can request my songs to be played, right now I only have "Busy Box" and Good Ol' Lucky me" available for play. Every now and then, if you could do this, I would really appreciate it!

Israel's deputy foreign minister has said that Israel will act against Iran if necessary and called on the Iranian people to act against the "aggressive dictatorial regime".
Danny Ayalon, speaking during a radio broadcast which was then translated into Farsi, warned that if sanctions to stop Iran arming itself with nuclear weapons fail "the United States and other nations might consider other options."
"Israel is committed to defending its citizens and if attacked will act accordingly."
"The jet, as well as being an ambassador of death for the enemies of humanity, has a main message of peace and friendship."
The other week I spent the evening in a beautiful garden in east Jerusalem listening to sublime music that brought together the best of the traditions of western, Arabic and Jewish music, ancient and modern.
It was a unique event, bringing together two of the most prominent musicians in the region, one Jewish, one Palestinian. Also performing for a small audience of friends and invited outsiders was a group of rappers from the Shuafat refugee camp. Everyone agreed that it was an astonishing moment.
In mid-July, in an interview with the Jordanian newspaper al-Ghad, Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, set out his minimum conditions for a definitive peace treaty with Israel.
"Obviously it could not possibly have anything to do with Sweeney wanting to interview Galloway about his work for Press TV, the Iranian state-sponsored channel that broadcast confessions by the regime's opponents extracted under torture.
"Galloway says he has been a trenchant critic of Iran, just like he was of Saddam Hussein."
Former Respect MP George Galloway has interviewed Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to show the "moderate" side of the Iranian president.
Mr Galloway, who visited Iran this week for a conference, has filmed the piece for Iran's state-backed news channel Press TV.
The veteran pro-Palestinian campaigner, who failed in a re-election bid in Poplar and Limehouse in May, previously spoke of his intention to become the "Michael Moore" of anti-Israel filmmaking.
He said he was planning to make a film about the Palestinian conflict.
Iranian-backed Press TV has been censured by Ofcom, the broadcasting standards body, for its coverage of the Gaza flotilla incident.
A show presented by Tony Blair's sister-in-law, Lauren Booth, breached guidelines on impartiality by including comments relating to Israel "committing a massacre of innocent civilians" and "a barbarous attack".
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has survived an assassination attempt in Iran.
The Iranian president escaped any injury although others were wounded when his convoy was hit with an explosive.
He was travelling to the city of Hamadan, in western Iran, to make a speech.
Police arrested one person and an official said: "Investigations continue to find out who was behind it."
Rumours that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is dying have caused concern in Israel over the future of the Israeli-Egyptian relationship.
Over the past three decades, Mr Mubarak has gained admirers in Israel for sticking to the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty through wars and intifadas. But the "cold peace" does not depend on him personally and is still likely to persist in a post-Mubarak era, analysts say.
Leading figures from the Jewish community have supported the campaign to stop the stoning to death of a mother in Iran.
Politicians, rabbis and businessmen put their names to a letter to the Iranian government to stop the action against Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, 43, sentenced to death by stoning for committing adultery.
The Iranian authorities have now confirmed that the widowed mother-of-two will not be stoned to death, but did not say whether her death sentence had been lifted.

OCEAN CITY - Unrest spurred by a spate of upcoming casino closures in Atlantic City confronted Gov. Christie on Thursday at the Shore, as workers showed up at a town-hall-style event and demanded that Christie take action.
Christie, meanwhile, told the crowd in Ocean City that there was a limit to what he could do.
"The government can't order private businesses to do things," Christie told those gathered for the event at the Ocean City Music Pier. "And you don't want to live in a world where we do."

John Perkins, Nyack Commencement Speaker
On Monday, May 14, Dr. John M. Perkins, founder and president of the John M. Perkins Foundation for Reconciliation and Development (JMPF) in Jackson, MS, will be the Commencement speaker for Nyack College and Alliance Theological Seminary. The 2:00 p.m. ceremony will be held at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY.
John M. Perkins is a sharecropper's son who grew up in Mississippi in dire poverty. He fled to California when he was 17 and vowed never to return after his older brother's murder at the hands of a town marshal. However, in 1960, after his conversion to Christianity, he returned to his boyhood home to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. His outspoken nature and leadership as a civil rights activist resulted in repeated beatings and imprisonment.
Christianity Today magazine, placed the landmark book, Let Justice Roll Down, written by Dr. Perkins at number 14 among the top 50 books that have shaped evangelicals. Perkins, known as a community development pioneer, is credited in the publication's citation for presenting a "three-pronged solution to America's systemic race problem: relocation, reconciliation, and redistribution." The author of several other books including, With Justice For All, Beyond Charity, He's My Brother, Resurrecting Hope, and A Time to Heal, he has contributed chapters to other compilations.

Apartments very good value for money. We stayed here for a friends hen party, I would not recommend these apartments for a fun based holiday group as they are very much family based. We got reprimanded on several occasions coming into the hotel late at night, as you do when you are on a hen party. Very clean though and only 1 min walk from the beach which was excellent. The only thing that disappointed me was that they charged you on a daily basis to use the beds by the pool which I think is a thing which should be free from the hotel. Very central for everything though! Overall i would recommend these apts for a family looking somewhere cheap and cheerful!

On July 30, 2014, Western Kentucky University became accredited by the National Safety Council as a Safe Community. WKU is the fourth university, and 25th community to receive this accreditation. Safe Communities America is a program of the National Safety Council and is associated with an accreditation in which any community can receive if certain criteria are met. This program is an approach that is proven to reduce injuries within a community through the use of community coalition members.
So, what is a Safe Community?
- Shares a geographical area (such as a municipality, campus, district, county, or region)
- Works together in a coordinated and collaborative way
- Promotes safety and health to prevent injury of its residents
- Uses community data to prioritize safety and health areas in greatest need of attention
- Is committed to the process of continuous improvement
- Saves lives and prevents injuries
To become a Safe Community, WKU Safe Community Coalition members coordinated and discussed current programs regarding different safety categories. Upon gathering this information, the application process began and the coalition members started addressing the four areas of competency (established by the National Safety Council). After review of the application, a 2-day site visit was conducted at Western Kentucky University. This site visit consisted of touring WKU, meeting with coalition members, and discussing current safety programs, as well as brainstorming future program enhancements. After a very successful site visit, a designation ceremony was coordinated to celebrate WKU's accreditation success!
From President Ransdell
"The safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors is of the utmost importance," WKU President Gary Ransdell said. "Receiving this designation from the National Safety Council shows how we at WKU seek partnerships both on and off campus to keep the WKU community safe. We view this as a promise to the WKU family, our community and visitors as well as the National Safety Council."

text: Onkyo's THX-certified Blu-ray Player Brings Networked Content to Home Cinema Onkyo, one of the world's leading lights in hi-fi and home cinema, announces the release of the BD-SP809, a new high-end Blu-ray Disc player. Available in black or silver the BD-SP809 handles a wide range of disc media and includes sophisticated home-network functionality. Video sources played through the BD-SP809 are rendered onscreen with stunning image quality. Onboard Qdeo processing technology from Marvell ensures pristine de-interlacing, noise-reduction and 1080p upscaling. Meanwhile, the player's twin HDMI outputs allow users to switch easily between two connected displays, such as a main TV for casual viewing and a projector for movies and sports. As well as being able to play the latest 3D-encoded Blu-ray Discs, the BD-SP809 plays virtually all the major types of CD and DVD - including those encoded with popular compressed formats such as DivX HD, MP3, and WMA. What's more, it features a USB port that enables users to play back audio and video files from an attached USB mass storage device. Convergence is the buzzword of the modern age so owners with a local area network in their home will be pleased to discover that they can use the BD-SP809 to stream videos, music, and photos stored on a DLNA 1.5-certified media server. The BD-SP809 supports high-definition audio formats in the form of DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD. The integrity of these lossless formats is preserved by the player's high-precision clock and by a high-grade construction design (the player weighs over 6kg) that incorporates separate blocks for video/audio circuitry, 19mm-pitch, gold-plated analogue audio outputs (for use with esoteric audiophile interconnects) and a vibration-reducing top cover. The BD-SP809 has been THX-certified in recognition of its superior build quality, versatile functionality, and high performance levels. Onkyo believes this player will prove an ideal source to complement the company's popular home cinema receivers and high-end receiver/speaker packages.

"The piece of the audience that isn't football fans will turn to other networks, but overall the net effect will be more people watching CBS. Other networks are going to lose more viewers overall than they will pick up," says Marc Morse, senior vice president of national broadcast at Assembly.

Hi Simon,
Thanks for this amazing little plugin. Love it!
Not sure if it's possible, but I think it would be absolutely awesome if a 'include/exclude pages' tickbox could be included in the quick edit for pages and posts.
Quite often I just want to quickly check what the status is and/or is that the only thing I'd be changing, so using quick edit instead of the full edit would be incredibly convenient!
Thanks again!

Yawn is right. Win two games and get a ring against the same schools you play all season. PD wouldn't last two rounds in NCHSAA. Catholic would open them up.
Put those joke rings back in the Froot Loops box.
And when was Catholic's last ring ?

Many gun owners with their assault weapons talk of taking the country back if pushed in the corner. How is that going to work? Just wondering. Does everyone just quit work and drive around with AR's? But.....who would be in charge??? I'm thinkin' it would be funnier than any cartoon ever made. Super duty fords and Z-71's with overweight guys in bow hunting camo, wheezing with cigarettes in their mouths, yelling, Im in charge, no i am. No your not he is. Ah,Ah, I am. Wait, Wait lets stop for more beer. No. Im in charge,and hungry, go through the drive in at Mac Donald's.......Oh, #$%$ they aren't open. Lets just break into this store, we are in charge! Kinda like years ago when there was a fire and the firemen were all hanging off the back of the truck. All half dressed, some fat,some skinny, some short, some tall.. Oh,Oh my truck is empty and the gas stations are shut down. Whats that over there?? The military with ......... SHEET!!!!!!!.... Gonna Take over the country? Hmm. Hmm......let me now how the cluster fruck works out...........Sorry got alot of sleep last night,just got up.
While you enjoy life in one of obozos gun free shitcargo projects. lol.
Well, Jack, who tends to spew racist and other divisive and incoherent rhetoric, it would be the free people; those not bound to any politician for the mere fact they are reliant on the government for their food stamps and who will not, under any circumstance, take personal responsibility and get a job. Who knows, Jack, who agitates for the sake of agitating and lacks any foundation of facts in his posts, it may be you who helps bring this country back into a nation of laws and mutual respect.
PS: Did you cover yet? gl
Even if this were the case, it would be better to have rank idiots running the show than outright crooks which we currently have.
No body knows who is in charge now so whats the big deal!
I say we put Marcy in charge.
That sounds like the way middle east is today. Put your little Taliban back in oyur pants.
Wow! You are a hater. As you attempt to belittle anyone who does not think like you.
What's worse is that you support government officials that are taking advantage of you. Yet you talk as though you are on a high horse while most likely being the dumbest guy in whatever room you are in.
Do you know that the government is now taking the Federal workers pension fund to support their spending? Bet you didn't know that. And I bet you are not bright enough to know what kind of an indicator that is. Regardless of how you feel about public employees.
Oh well, keep spouting your ignorance. It's almost comical to listen to you cheer lead the hangman while you are standing on the gallows with a rope around your neck. Just be happy that there are people in this county willing to stand up for your right to be ignorant.
How would and uprising happen? Who knows. And hopefully it will never come to that. But to know that there are people like you who are afraid of the right law abiding peoples ability to defend themselves is revealing. You are one of the ignorant crowd that ignores history and puts their faith in people who are taking advantage of you.
If the public is armed, we can avoid the many instances in history that you have so ignorantly ignored. Study up stoolie.
I'm not hateful at all. Just asked a question. Don't get allpissy because you couldn't answer it..........I attempt to belittle anyone who does not think like me?? No, that would be a Republitard

Carnival Glory Cruise Review by Anne W.: Carnival Glory - Western Caribbean
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Glory - Western Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
The ship was clean and well organized. Hard to get around the first day.
Dining room staff and food very good, not excellent, good variety. Red Sail buffet was downright nasty tasting food and the worst desserts I have ever seen. Bad for even a school cafeteria. Most of the time we tried to eat there we threw it out and stopped even trying.
Room service excellent and always on time.
Costa Maya Jungle Beach Break was the best, just what you go to the Caribbean for in the first place. We planned to stay a couple of hours and ended up on the last bus back to the port at 4 PM. Free drinks, beautiful site with palms and beautiful beach good value to swim with the Dolphins or snorkel from here. Would go again in a heartbeat. Plenty of room to spread out and just enjoy the day.
The shows are very bad almost like junior high performances.
Overall, does not compare for value with other cruises or cruise lines on which I have traveled. Less

We've seen some confusion about how to gain access to the Golden Lotus faction dailies in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. In case you've been having trouble getting where you need to be, below are some detailed steps to ensure you're on the correct path.
Spoiler Warning!
This guide shares some details about the associated quest chain that takes you to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and the Golden Lotus. If you'd prefer to naturally find your way there during your adventures, the first couple of bullets should be sufficient for pointing you in the right direction.
Here is how you get into the Vale of Eternal Blossoms:
At level 87, go speak to Anduin/Dezco at the Temple of the White Tiger in Kun-Lai Summit and complete "A Celestial Experience."
Accept the follow-up quest, "A Witness to History."
Find Anduin/Dezco at the big gate north of the Vale. This will start a cinematic that opens the gates.
Turn in "A Witness to History" to Zhi the Harmonious at the Golden Pagoda in the center of Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
Accept and complete the follow-up quest, "The Shrine of Two Moons," and "The Shrine of Seven Stars" (Horde/Alliance respectively).
If you're not level 90 you'll receive no further quests.
At level 90 you should return and pick up the quest chain again.
Note that you must have trained flying to proceed.
Pick up "The Ruins of Guo-Lai" and complete it.
This leads to "Out with the Scouts" and "Barring Entry."
This leads to "Killing the Quilen" and "Stones of Power." While in the ruins, you should also get "The Guo-Lai Halls." If you don't get this quest near the entrance to the crypt, you can return to Anji Autumnlight to get this quest.
These 3 quests must be completed before you can complete "Leaving an Opening."
Turn in "Leaving an Opening" at the Golden Pagoda, and this should lead straight into the dailies.
If you have any questions or concerns, or if you're still experiencing issues accessing the Vale of Eternal Blossoms or the Golden Lotus daily quests, please let us know.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional application of 06/016,354 filed Apr. 4, 1996, now abandoned.
a. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to low-density cellular concretes, and, more particularly, to the low-density cellular cement grout which provides the radiation barrier for use in the decommissioning and removal of reactor components and similar structures presenting a radioactive hazard.
b. Background Art
The decommissioning of nuclear power plants, such as nuclear electrical power generating stations and warship propulsion systems, typically involves a dismantling of the reactor systems at the plant site or vessel, and then transporting these to a designated disposal/storage area.
In conventional nuclear power systems, the main components are housed in one or more containment vessels; for example, separate containment vessels are commonly employed for the steam generator and the reactor core, and these components are connected by various pipe lines which are originally designed for the circulation of heating/cooling water and/or other fluids. In the typical dismantlement operation, each containment vessel is cut out of the system and removed individually, with the internal components remaining housed inside the vessel.
Typically, the dismantlement and transportation operations are fraught with a number of difficulties. Firstly, the residual radioactivity in the vessel and its internal components is usually quite high and presents a continuing hazard, both to workmen and during transportation; typically, the residual radiation includes both gamma ray radiation and neutron radiation. The radiation hazard normally exists throughout the system, but is typically most intense in the case of the reactor vessel which originally contained the reactor core; in many cases, the radiation hazard is so intense that even simple cutting/removal operation require rotation of a number of workers, each of which can be exposed to the radiation for only a very limited period of time.
A particular problem in this context is how to provide effective shielding for the "hot" components in reactor vessels for transportation and long-term storage, so that they do not present a virtually perpetual hazard to personnel in the area. The presently accepted practice calls for a very thick (e.g., 8-10") steel plate casing to be built around the component/vessel, in a manner resembling a shell. The thick layer of iron in the shell provides highly effective shielding, but the technique is vastly expensive in practice. Not only are there the costs ordinarily associating with erecting such a structure of what amounts to be thick armor plate, but the cost is greatly compounded by the necessity of having personnel work in a radioactively "hot" environment. For example, personnel involved in erecting and welding the shell generally remain on a station for a brief time before having to be rotated off of their job, and the same goes for inspectors. Moreover, because of the sensitive nature of the work, the construction work and welding is for the most part performed by skilled boiler makers, at much higher rates than ordinary welding personnel. As a result, the cost of constructing the armor shells can amount to many millions of dollars for each reactor vessel/component.
Although it has been known to construct reactor building walls of concrete with imbedded steel punchings for shielding purposes, this technique is not a viable option for encasing reactor components during removal. Moreover, such concrete mixes, which are ordinarily dumped between forms to construct the walls, are extremely coarse and lack fluidity, and are therefore incapable of being pumped into and filling the sometimes intricate voids around reactor components and containment vessels, or through the complex and often small-diameter piping and chambers which are commonly present in these components.
Accordingly, there exists a need for a method for shielding reactor vessels and other components which are being removed from decommissioned nuclear power plants, without requiring the construction of massive armor shielding. Furthermore, there is a need for such a method which can be performed on a fairly quick basis so as to minimize the high personnel costs which are ordinarily associated with this type of work. Still further, there is a need for such a method which employs a comparatively inexpensive shielding material, and a material which is sufficiently fluid that it can be installed in and around components having fairly complex contours and cavities. Still further, there is a need for such a material which will effectively reduce the emitted levels of both gamma and neutron radiation.
The present invention is a method for forming a radiation barrier around a radioactive component. Broadly, this comprises the steps of: (1) providing a container which encloses the radioactive component, (2) forming a cellular cement grout, said grout comprising in mixture a cement slurry, a finished foam material, a bentonite gel material, and a radiation-absorbing metal constituent, and (3) pumping the cellular cement grout into the container so that the cellular cement grout form a radiation-absorbing barrier around the component which is enclosed therein.
The step of providing the container which encloses the radioactive may comprise the step of constructing a metallic shell around the radioactive component.
The metal constituent of the grout may be an iron-containing material, such as rounded steel shot. The metal constituent may also be formed of other radiation absorbing metallic materials, such as barium-containing materials.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the system in accordance with the present invention for producing a foamed cement grout having both bentonite and barium compound components, and for pumping this into a nuclear containment vessel for reducing the residual radiation which is produced thereby;
FIG. 2A is the view of the cellular fill materials which is produced by the present invention for filling the containment vessel;
FIG. 2B is an enlarged view of the cellular matrix of FIG. 2A;
FIG. 2C is an enlarged view of an individual bubble of the material in another embodiment, showing the layered structure thereof;
FIG. 3 is a schematic view of the containment vessel being filled with the grout material in accordance with the present invention, using inlet and outlet fittings attached to original circulation fittings of the vessel.
a. Overview
The present invention provides a novel method for the incapsulation of radioactively "hot" reactor vessels and other components, in which a comparatively thin, inexpensive shell of steel or similar material is constructed around the component, and the gap between the shell and component is filled with a fluid, cellular cement grout material which is laden with a metallic constituent to provide the shielding function. The size of the gap, and therefore the thickness of the grout layer, is selected based on the shielding qualities of the grout material to provide an effective radiation barrier in combination with the comparatively thin metal shell, and the fluidity of the grout material enables it to flow quickly and reliably through the interior of the shell and into any openings or irregular cavities on the component itself. The present invention also provides a novel cellular cement fill material which is easily and quickly pumped in place to provide an effective radiation barrier which reduces levels of both gamma and neutron radiation, and apparatus for production and injection of the same. The grout mixture is sufficiently fluid that this can also be pumped into containment vessels using the original piping system, if desired.
The pumpable cellular grout material employs a mixture of cement slurry and bentonite gel, finished foam, and a metallic gamma-radiation absorptive material, such as a barium compound. The constituents are mixed, either in a batch process or using continuous-generation equipment, to form a micro-bubble structure in which the individual bubbles are encased in a layer of the bentonite gel, which enables the bubble structure to support the comparatively heavy barium or other heavy-metal compound in particulate or granular form.
The barium or other heavy metal constituents provide an effective shield for absorbing the gamma radiation, while the bentonite component provides effective shielding to reduce neutron radiation, in addition to producing the strong, stable bubble structure which supports the heavy metal component.
FIG. 1 shows a batch-type system 10 for producing and injecting the cellular grout material described above. AS can be seen, the constituents of the grout, i.e., cement slurry, bentonite gel, metallic component, and finished foam are combined in a tub 12 by a mixer 14 to produce the pumpable cement grout material described above. The material is fed into a pump 16, via line 18, is discharged under pressure through an injection hose 20. Hose 20 is connected to an injection fitting 22 which is in communication with the interior of the barrier shell 26.
As was noted above, in the present invention the barrier shell 26 is constructed of much lighter (e.g., 1") steel plate or similar material, rather than the very thick steel plate which is employed in the conventional method. This enables the shell to be constructed in a far quicker, more economical manner. Owing to the fact that in most embodiments of the present invention the shielding which is provided per inch of thickness by the of the fill material using the granular metallic constituent will be somewhat less than that of a solid layer of the metal, however, the shell 26 is constructed so as to form a comparatively large spaced gap 27 around the containment vessel or other component 30. The size of this gap is select to provide a thickness of the cellular fill material which, in combination with the comparatively thin metal shell, will provide an effective radiation barrier to reduce external radiation levels to within acceptable limits.
Owing to its cellular nature and the bentonite component the grout 28 is highly fluid, so that as the grout is pumped into the shell 26 this fills the cavity around the containment vessel 30 or other component, forming a "blanket" completely around the component which absorbs both gamma and neutron radiation. The high degree of fluidity of the grout material permits the shell to be filled safely in one or more lifts, with the grout flowing upwardly to the next injection port 29 in the direction indicated by the arrows in FIG. 1, without fear of the flow stopping or becoming blocked.
Once solidified, the bentonite and suspended metallic constituent in the blanket of grout reduce the amount of radiation which reaches the barrier shell 26 so that the relatively this layer of solid steel or other metal is sufficient to reduce the intensity of external radioactive emissions to acceptable levels. The outer metal shell also protects the solidified cement grout from impact damage and abrasion during transportation and storage, and in some embodiments the impact resistance of the barrier may be supplemented by the increased modulus of elasticity which the cellular cement grout can offer in certain formulations. Furthermore, unlike a liquid or loose granular material, the solidified grout cannot accidentally escape from the containment shell, and therefore provides a permanent enclosure which reduces the chances of a radiation leak at the ultimate storage/disposal site. Still further, the solidified cement grout is virtually impervious to corrosion, which is an important advantage for very long term storage.
b. Grout Constituents
As was noted above, the principal constituents of the grout provided by the present invention are cement slurry, bentonite gel, a metallic constituent and finished foam. Exemplary processes for the production and mixing of the same will be described in the following paragraphs.
The cement slurry may be formed using any suitable hydraulic cement. Preferably, this is to be formed using ordinary portland cement dust (with or without materials such as fly ash, superplasticizers, and other substitutes/additives which are known to those skilled in the art), mixed with water in a suitable ratio to meet both the fluidity and compressive strength requirements for the product. For example, a water-to-cement ratio of approximately .5:1 may be suitable for many embodiments; however, a wide range of water-to-cement ratios may be employed in various embodiments, depending on the characteristics which are desired for the slurry.
In order to provide a more stable bubble structure, the cement slurry is preferably colloidally mixed to produce a finer, more fluid slurry which will more evenly coat the individual bubbles of the finished foam. This colloidal mixing may be performed using a high speed, high-shear pump which circulates the slurry material through a holding tank, until the cement particles are finely divided and evenly hydrated by the water molecules.
The finished foam component, in turn, may employ any of the suitable foam-generation materials which are known to those skilled in the art for use in the production of cellular cements and grouts. The aqueous foam materials which are preferred for use in the present invention typically consist of a foam concentrate material similar to a surfactant which is diluted with water to form a foam solution having a suitable concentration. Examples of suitable foam concentrate materials include "Mearl Geocel Foam Liquid", available from the Mearl Corporation, Roselle Park, N.J.
The foam concentrate-water solution is combined with air and passed through a foam conditioner to produce a finished foam material having the micro-bubble structure. Preferably, the foam density should be selected so as to produce a relatively strong bubble structure; for example a 2.25-4.0 percent water concentrate solution mixed with air to produce a foam weight in a range from about 2.25-4.0 pounds per cubic feet (pcf) may be suitable, although concentrations and weights well outside of these ranges may be suitable for some applications.
The production of finished foam and the mixing thereof with cement slurry to produce a foamed cement grout is more fully described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,419,632, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, the inventor of which is the same as in the present application.
As was noted above, the metal component serves to provide the grout material with the ability to absorb gamma radiation. The metal constituent will in most embodiments be in granular form and may include one or more types of metals or metal alloys. Preferably, the metal or metals selected will have characteristics which are benign to both personnel and the environment; amongst the many known gamma-absorbing metal known to those skilled in the art which are suitable for use in the present invention, barium and barium compounds are perhaps best in terms of effective shielding, but iron/steel has the advantage of economy, even though more material may need to be used.
The type and amount of residual radiation present will generally determine the amount (i.e., the ratio) of the metal constituent to be included in the grout matrix; for example, in some embodiments an iron or barium component may be present in an amount equal to twice the weight of the cement or more. Granular barium sulfate is suitable for the purpose, and may be re-ground (e.g. using a ball mill) prior to mixing with the other constituents. A more economical component for most applications is smooth tumbled/polished steel shot, such as size 2-4 bird shot or a similar material, for example. Much finer grades of shot are less desirable for most embodiments, in that the greater surface area per weight of the material will tend to require an excessive amount of water and cement to coat, and will therefore result in lighter mixes and less effective shielding because not as much steel particulate can be included while still keeping the material fluid and pumpable. On the other hand, much larger particles such as buckshot-sized steel shot, for example, will tend to render the mix coarse and less fluid and pumpable, to the point where its flowability within the barrier shell may be impaired and the water may be squeezed out of the mix when pumping; also, the increased weight will render it difficult for the cellular bubble structure to maintain the larger particles in suspension. Furthermore, smooth, generally spherical particles are generally preferable, and sharp, angular particulate materials such as slags and blast metals should generally be avoided.
Although iron/steel and barium materials are readily available and advantageous for use in the present invention, various other suitable heavy element materials capable of absorbing gamma radiation will occur to those skilled in the art. For example, tin, iron, thallium and lead, and their various compounds, can be used in the present invention to absorb gamma radiation, although most lead compounds exhibit undesirable toxicities. Antimony and antimony-containing compounds can also be used to provide the gamma radiation shielding component, and these are generally less expensive than tin-containing compounds. Suitable elements/compounds may also be found from within the rare earths, particularly the lanthanum series.
Finally, the bentonite constituent serves three purposes. Firstly, it forms a bubble structure which is sufficiently strong to support the heavy metal (gamma shield) constituent. For example, if a heavy metal particulate were to be added to a conventional foamed cement grout (such as the materials which are conventionally used for geotechnical fills), the weight of the particulate would cause the components to separate and result in collapse of the bubble structure; by way of illustration, it should be noted that barium materials are on average approximately seven times as heavy per volume as water. The bentonite gel, however, serves to encapsulate the bubbles within the grout material, so that these are able to absorb and carry the heavy metal constituent.
This aspect of the present invention is illustrated somewhat schematically in FIGS. 2A-2C. FIG. 2A is a "macro" view showing the cellular matrix of the grout material 28. As can be seen in the enlarged view presented by FIG. 2B, the matrix includes a multiplicity of fine, sometimes microscopic bubbles 32 formed by the finished foam and containing entrained air 36, each of which is surrounded by a relatively thick encapsulating layer of the combination bentonite gel/cement slurry 34; as was noted above, this material is highly fluid and "slippery," and essentially provides a strong, resilient capsule which enhances the resistance of the bubble to collapse/rupture and also makes it easier to pump (i.e., it requires lower pumping pressures). The heavy metal particles 37, such as the steel shot described above, are interspersed in and supported by the tough, resilient bentonite/cement coated bubbles, which also cushion and surround the metal particles to render the matrix more fluid and pumpable. Moreover, although not shown in FIG. 2B, a layer or coating of the bentonite/cement slurry will also be formed on the grains of metal as well, further enhancing fluidity and flowability.
Also, as can be seen in FIG. 3C, in some embodiments the heavy metal constituent (such as a barium sulfate material, for example) may enter solution or otherwise be dispersed so as to itself form a layer 38 which surrounds and is supported by the bentonite gel/cement layer without damage to the underlying bubble structure.
The bentonite gel can be mixed in any suitable manner, following the supplier's specifications; a suitable amount for many applications may be in the range of about 5-15% of the total, by weight. Preferably, to produce the gel-like consistency, the bentonite is colloidally mixed in a manner similar to that described above, by recirculation using a high speed, high-shear colloidal mixing pump. The colloidal mixing superwets the particles of the bentonite, producing a high-grade gel material. Examples of a suitable colloidal mixing pumps include Series A ANSI centrifugal process pumps available from Hayward Gordon Company, Buffalo, N.Y.
The second purpose of the bentonite component is to increase the fluidity of the cellular fill material. The bentonite gel forms a very smooth, highly fluid coating on the bubbles and metal particles alike, so that the material pumps easily and will flow long distances within the barrier shell and into various cavities and irregularities on the vessel or other component which is encased therein.
The third function served by the bentonite gel is neutron radiation shielding. Bentonite materials are naturally occurring clay materials (usu. sodium montmorillonite) containing complicated silicon structures and water; in particular, as relates to the present invention, bentonites contain large amounts of light metals which are effective neutron radiation barriers. Because the bentonite is a major constituent or the grout, both by weight and volume (for example, in some embodiments the mix may contain bentonite in an amount equal to or greater than the portland cement), the fill material achieves a very significant drop in neutron radiation intensity.
Yet another advantage provided by the bentonite component is that this results in a water-impervious grout fill, which again benefits long-term storage under various environmental conditions.
It should also be understood that other suitable, gel-forming materials may in some embodiments be used in conjunction with the bentonite, or possibly in place of the bentonite if the material can alone or in combination with other materials provide the functions described above. For example, the "Polyox" material available from Union Carbide Company may be suitable for use in some embodiments of the present invention.
As was noted above, the cellular grout material may be prepared by batch or continuous process. In the continuous process, the components may be added from their respective sources (e.g. the bentonite gel from the colloidal mixing tub, the cement/barium from another tub, and so forth) with foam solution and air being added at metered rates and then passed through a conditioner to form the bubble structure.
FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing the filling of an exemplary nuclear containment vessel 40 (in this illustration, a steam generation vessel) itself, rather than a separate casing or enclosure which surrounds the vessel as described above, using the cellular cement grout of the present invention and the existing (i.e. original) valving of the component. As can be seen, the grout generation apparatus 10 may be mounted on a skid or other structure for transportation to the site. The grout material is delivered to the containment vessel by pump 42, through fill lines 44A,44B which are attached to fittings 46A,46B on the vessel. Vent lines 48A,48B are connected to other pipe connections 50A,50B on the vessel, so as to release the air and excess grout from the vessel. The released material, which may be contaminated from the contents of the vessel, is vented to a collection container 52. Upon completed filling, the vessel can be removed from the structure (e.g. the reactor building or the ship's hull) for subsequent transportation and disposal. In this embodiment, the placement of grout inside the containment vessel provides a very quick and economical method for reducing radiation levels external to the vessel, both to create a safer work environment in which personnel stay times are increased, and to permit final shielding using a comparatively thin external shell, with or without filling the void between the two as previously described. Also, it is possible that in some circumstances the radiation barrier fill within the containment vessel may reduce radiation levels sufficiently that a separator external shell will not be required for storage/disposal of the component.
It is to be recognized that various alterations, modifications, and/or additions may be introduced into the constructions and arrangements of parts described above without departing from the spirit or ambit of the present invention.

Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginning's End: 'Breaking Bad' Gets A Spanish Remake.
By Jodi Clager | Trade News | October 3, 2013 | Comments ()
I thought that all of the Breaking Bad news had been reported. I thought it has all been pored over, dissected, thoroughly digested, and then glowingly laid to rest. Then I stumbled upon the glorious image of Walter Blanco with the news that Metástasis has been created by Sony Pictures Television and Teleset for the Colombian market.
I didn't even watch Breaking Bad, but this news has me excited. Changing Walter White to Walter Blanco (Diego Trujillo)? LOVE! Walt's wife Skylar will be named Cielo (Sandra Reyes); Jesse will be Jose Miguel Rosas (Robert Urbina); Hank is Henry Navarro(Julian Arango). Instead of an RV, Walt and Jose will build their business in an old school bus.
Vince Gilligan and his minions have been consulted for the remake, but the series will lean more toward telenova instead of American-style drama. UniMas in America has already purchased the series, so if you have that channel you can contrast and compare the two versions.
Bleeding Cool managed to find a trailer on Youtube that's about 30 seconds long.
Feast your eyes on the some of the new cast and begin to either salivate or rage. Your choice.

Its unfortunate the pole was even there, because the composition is so nicely done as is. The reflections are important to this picture. Closer or further away wouldn't have been as good.
Not really. That's west side of the island, so the swell from the Atlantic is comming stright into the bay. The bay itself is maybe 50 meters wide, or even smaller and very rocky, and as you can see the entrance is full of rocks.
On the east side of the island there is nice pier. I'd advice to moore there.
My advice - not a good place to anchor!
