[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to
European Application No. 09151280.6, filed 23 Jan. 2009, the entirety of
which is incorporated by reference herein.
[0002]1. Field of Endeavor
[0003]The present invention relates to a burner for a gas turbine and a method for feeding a gaseous fuel into a burner.
[0004]2. Brief Description of the Related Art
[0005]In particular, the present invention relates to a sequential combustion gas turbine, i.e., a gas turbine having a compressor which generates a main flow of compressed air and feeds it to a first burner, wherein a fuel is injected to form a mixture.
[0006]The mixture is combusted in a combustion chamber and is expanded in a high pressure turbine. The hot gases (which come out from the high pressure turbine and are still rich in oxygen) are then fed to a second burner, wherein a further fuel is injected to form a mixture that is combusted in a second combustion chamber to generate hot gases that are expanded in a low pressure turbine.
[0007]In particular, the present invention can relate to the second burner.
[0008]As known in the art, the temperature of the hot gases going out from the second combustion chamber allows a good efficiency and, at the same time, also low NOx emissions to be achieved.
[0009]Nevertheless, in order to increase the efficiency of the gas turbines, the temperature of the hot gases going out from the second combustion chamber should be increased.
[0010]Increasing the temperature in the second combustion chamber inevitably causes an increase of the NOx emissions that, on the contrary, should be kept as low as possible.
[0011]One of numerous aspects of the present invention therefore includes a burner and a method by which the problems of the known art are addressed.
[0012]Another aspect of the present invention include a burner and a method by with the overall efficiency of the sequential gas turbine is increased but, at the same time, the NOx emissions are kept at a low level.
[0013]In particular, the temperature of the flame within the second combustion chamber is increased but the NOx emissions are kept almost at the same level as traditional sequential combustion gas turbines or are increased up to an acceptable level.
[0014]Advantageously, burners embodying principles of the present invention have a structure that is much simpler and also much cheaper than that of traditional burners.
[0015]Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will be more apparent from the description of a preferred, but non-exclusive, embodiment of the burner and method according to the invention, illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, in which:
[0016]FIG. 1 schematically shows a burner according to the invention;
[0017]FIG. 2 shows a lance of the burner according to the invention;
[0018]FIG. 3 shows a particular of the nozzles of the lance of FIG. 2;
[0019]FIG. 4 is a diagram showing schematically the mixture quality within the burner with traditional burners (curve A) and with the burner of the invention (curve B); and
[0020]FIG. 5 is a diagram showing schematically the NOx emissions according to the temperature of the flame.
[0021]With reference to the figures, these show a burner for a gas turbine overall indicated by the reference number 1.
[0022]The burner 1 is the second burner of a sequential combustion gas turbine and includes a duct 2 having a rectangular, square, or trapezoidal shape and enclosing a plurality of vortex generators 3; typically the vortex generators 3 are four in number and are placed on the four walls of the duct 2 (for sake of clarity only one vortex generator is shown in FIG. 1).
[0023]Downstream of the vortex generators 3, the burner 1 includes a lance 5 provided with nozzles 6 for injecting a gaseous fuel and/or a liquid fuel.
[0024]Downstream of the lance 5 the burner 1 has a mixing zone 15 followed by a combustion chamber 16 where combustion occurs.
[0025]In addition, the burner 1 includes a mixer 7 for diluting and mixing the gaseous fuel with an oxidiser (typically air) to form a mixture.
[0026]For example the mixer 7 is a static mixer that could be integrated into the lance.
[0027]The mixer 7 is connected to the nozzles 6 for feeding the same nozzles 6 with the mixture to be injected.
[0028]Preferably the mixer 7 is located outside the duct 2.
[0029]In particular, the lance 5 includes a first pipe 10 connecting the mixer 7 to a first aperture 11 of the nozzles 6 and a second pipe 12 connecting a liquid fuel feeding to a second aperture 13 of the nozzles 6.
[0030]As shown in the figures, the first aperture 11 of the nozzles 6 and the second aperture 13 of the nozzles 6 are coaxial, the first aperture 11 being annular in shape and encircling the second aperture 13.
[0031]In the same manner, also the first pipe 10 is annular in shape and encircles the second pipe 12.
[0032]Preferably the burner (or the lance) is provided with a by-pass in parallel to the mixer 7, such that at least the air can be fed to the mixer or (via the by-pass) directly to the first pipe 10.
[0033]The operation of the burner 1 is apparent from that described and illustrated and is substantially the following.
[0034]The hot gases F coming from the high pressure turbine enter the duct 2 and pass through it; thus (within the duct 2) a fuel is injected within the hot gases to form the mixture to be combusted in the combustion chamber 16. Reference numeral 18 indicates the flame front.
[0035]The burner may alternatively operate with liquid fuel (oil) or gaseous fuel.
[0036]Operation with Liquid Fuel
[0037]The liquid fuel is fed through the second pipe 12 to the second aperture 13 of the nozzles 6; at the same time shielding air is fed through the first pipe 10 to the first aperture 11 of the nozzles 6.
[0038]Preferably the shielding air passes through the by-pass to enter the first pipe 10 without passing through the mixer 7 in order to avoid unnecessary pressure drops.
[0039]Thus, during operation with liquid fuel, injection occurs in the traditional way, with a central liquid fuel jet encircled by an annular shielding air jet.
[0040]Operation with Gaseous Fuel
[0041]Both gaseous fuel and air are fed to the mixer 7 where gaseous fuel is diluted and is mixed with air to form a mixture.
[0042]This mixture is then fed to the first aperture 11 of the nozzles 6 through the first pipe 10; in this case, the mixture of gaseous fuel and air is injected without an annular shielding air jet encircling it.
[0043]Tests showed that injection of a mixture flow of gaseous fuel and air without a shielding air encircling it let penetration of the mixture flow within the hot gases flowing in the duct be increased.
[0044]A burner embodying principles of the invention let the NOx emissions of a gas turbine operating at high temperature (i.e., with a flame temperature in the second combustion chamber higher than the flame temperature in the second combustion chamber of traditional gas turbines) be kept to almost the same values of traditional gas turbines or be increased up to acceptable values.
[0045]In this respect, FIG. 4 shows the fuel mixture quality; in this diagram, x is the distance of a generic cross section of the burner from the injection plane 17 (i.e., the plane perpendicular to the axis of the burner and containing the nozzles 6), and H is the height of the duct.
[0046]This diagram shows that the mixing quality in the burner of the invention is much better than that of traditional burners.
[0047]In fact, in a burner embodying principles of the invention, when the gaseous fuel is injected in the duct 2, it has already been mixed with air to some extent and only a further mixing occurs, whereas in traditional burners all the mixing occurs after injection within the burner.
[0048]FIG. 5 shows that the NOx emissions increase exponentially with the temperature of the flame (curve C), meaning that for a small increase in the temperature of the flame, the NOx emissions have a huge increase.
[0049]Within the combustion chamber the temperature of the flame is not the same over the entire flame front, but it varies according to the mixing quality.
[0050]In this respect, curve A of FIG. 5 shows the Gaussian distribution of temperature in the combustion chambers which are fed by traditional burners; due to the not-optimized mixing quality, the distribution of the temperature is quite large; this distribution of temperatures directly influences the NOx emissions as shown in the diagram.
[0051]Curve B in the same diagram (that shows the Gaussian distribution of temperature in the combustion chambers which are fed by burners of the invention) shows that, when the temperature of the flame is increased, NOx emissions are much greater and they increase exponentially with the temperature of the flame (in fact curve B intercepts curve C in a zone with a greater slope).
[0052]Therefore in order to limit NOx emissions, the curve B is kept as narrow as possible; this is achieved improving the mixing quality of the gaseous fuel with air.
[0053]In fact, as the curve C describing the NOx emissions relative to the temperature of the flame is an exponential curve, higher emissions caused by the higher temperatures of the flame (i.e., the zone D) are not compensated for by lower emissions caused by lower temperatures of the flame (i.e., the zone E).
[0054]According to principles of the present invention, the curve B is as narrow as possible to limit the NOx emissions in the two zones D and E, because their balance is unfavorable for the NOx emissions.
[0055]In addition, even if the gaseous fuel is injected without the shielding air protecting it and letting it penetrate within the hot gases flowing within the duct to prevent auto ignition as soon as the gaseous fuel goes out from the nozzles, in a burner embodying principles of the invention, auto ignition does not occur because the fuel is injected already well mixed with the air and the delay time for such a well mixed mixture is sufficient to let the mixture penetrate and further mix with the hot gases within the duct 2.
[0056]Moreover, as the lance is only provided with two pipes (instead of three pipes as the lances of traditional burners), its structure is much easier and cheaper than that of traditional burners.
[0057]This structure of the lance also allows less inner disturbance of the exiting flow due to interaction between the shielding air and the hot gases and the ends of their respective pipes.
[0058]The present invention also relates to a method for feeding a gaseous fuel in a burner of a gas turbine.
[0059]According to a method in accordance with principles of the present invention, before the gaseous fuel is injected, it is mixed with an oxidizer (typically air) to form a mixture, which is injected in the duct 2 of the burner 1.
[0060]Advantageously the fuel is mixed with the oxidizer (air) in a weight ratio that lets a prefixed temperature of the mixture to be obtained at the injection, in order to prevent auto ignition of the mixture within the lance, i.e., before the mixture is injected.
[0061]In this respect, the weight ratio is about 1:1 (i.e., 1 Kg of gaseous fuel is mixed with 1 Kg of air).
[0062]The burner and the method conceived in this manner are susceptible to numerous modifications and variants, all falling within the scope of the inventive concept; moreover all details can be replaced by technically equivalent elements.
[0063]In practice the materials used and the dimensions can be chosen at will according to requirements and to the state of the art.

In Drupal you have the GUI to create whatever type you want. How about in WP, do I still have to code to create one?
Even though there are plugins to register Custom Post Types in WordPress, this is not the way it should be done.
According to core developer Andrew Nacin, Custom Post Types should be implemented (in code) not registered (by clicks).
This makes them more managable and easier to improve and further develop or hack. Also, code versioning is the way it goes.
Not necessarily, you can use the Custom Post Type UI plugin to create one with a GUI. If it doesn't have to be an actual custom post type, you could also use PODS, which achieves a similar result using a custom object type.

Hi all. I have an xbox that I believe was softmodded using Krayzie's Ndure Installer. If the xbox was powered on using the eject button it went to a blue screen with system settings. I don't even remember what was on that screen other than options that a five-year-old shouldn't be fooling around with. Well it just so happens that over the Thanksgiving break my sister came down with her kids and her five-year-old did something on that screen. Now when the xbox is powered on using any button with or without a game in it it goes to the multilingual error screen with no error number and the lights around the eject button flash alternating red and green. During the "boot up" screen the "Microsoft" never appears under the logo. Unfortunately I don't have the eeprom.bin backed up to my pc, but I believe it is on the xbox's hard drive. I have tried hot-swapping numerous times only to have xboxhdm (1.9) tell me that the drive is locked. I even read that by unplugging the dvd drive one could induce "error 12" and it would leave the hard drive unlocked. Well, I'm unable to induce error 12. No matter what I do to this box it does the same thing. Is there something he could have selected to cause any sort of problem other than a hard drive related problem? Thanks!

If the xbox was powered on using the eject button it went to a blue screen with system settings
This is not exactly very helpfull....
A dual boot softmod with ndure should go to the M$dash if you boot it with the eject button, not to a blue screen with system settings....
1.0 xboxes don't display an error code. This doesn't make things easier.
In a worst case scenario, he could have altered the xbox eeprom contents so that the hddkey has changed.
In such a case, without the eeprom.bin file, you can only try to unlock the harddisk with one of the master passwords. If it has the eeprom.bin on it, you can use it to fix the xbox eeprom.
In your case, I would use an eeprom reader to get the xbox eeprom.bin file.
I would check the results with the windows liveinfo beta 3 program.
Posted 09 December 2009 - 11:56 PM
Thanks for your response. I'm not sure if it was ndure I used then. I know it was a splinter cell gamesave exploit, but it was so long ago. It's super unfortunate I don't have a copy of the eeprom.bin on my pc. I've tried the Western Digital master password, but to no avail as the security on the drive is set to maximum. I guess an eeprom reader is my only hope. Too bad I'm a software kind of guy and making an eeprom reader may be out of my league. I'll do my best and try to report any progress I may make. Thanks again.

'A Deadly Adoption': 10 Things Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig's Lifetime Movie Got RightBritt Hayes June 20, 2015 @ 10:39 PM
Let's make this clear: A Deadly Adoption is not a spoof of a Lifetime movie, at least not in the way you're thinking. It's not obviously satirical, either, especially if you aren't familiar with the Lifetime movie formula, like those of us blessed enough to grow up on a steady diet of Lifetime movies in the '80s and '90s. Instead, Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig's new TV movie (kept secret for months, with Ferrell even outright denying its existence) is more of an homage, honoring the classic Lifetime movie tropes — it's as if they're filling out a MadLib.

How was your weekend, Memphis? Here's our weekly rundown of local happenings you need to know about, from circus clowns to Republican senators…
Both U.S. Senators representing Tennessee will be in Memphis Saturday for the Shelby County Republican Party's annual Lincoln Day Gala, historically the local party's largest annual fundraising event.Sen. Bob Corker is the keynote speaker with Sen. Lamar Alexander as a special guest.The Lincoln Day gatherings are county-by-county events across the state that can extend far beyond the shadow of Presidents Day: A few of the Lincoln Day dinners have been known to find a place on the calendar in April.This is the 41st Lincoln Day event in Shelby County, which puts the local event's origins squarely in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal, a low-point for Republican fortunes nationally after the state's modern Republican party was formed and prospered in the late 1960s and early 1970s.The event always comes with a large helping of local candidates testing the political waters among the dinner tables between podium speeches.This year, the Shelby County event is sure to feature partisans from the various Republican presidential campaigns because of its place on the February calendar during the early voting period before the March 1 election day.

It was a very nice place,in good location to everything.The street was noisy so it was difficult to fall asleep.The only thing we needed was a fan or air cond.
We hit a heat wave and property was really hot. There were fans which was very handy. Kitchen and bathroom very small and HOT. Anyone over 5 ft 6in would find it very hard to stand in the shower. Toilet seat broken. Plenty of room for 4 adults.
The flat is good for young people without children
Located close to metro station and there are many cafes, bars, restaurants near
Good for sightseeing and easy to get them even by feet
There is a lift, however it is suitable only for slim people;)
If you're a single man, this place is for you! there are many nice girls outside:)
The sink in the bathroom was choked up and couldn't be used properly
Room planning is not convenient at all
The flat is much smaller than it seems in the pictures
Wi-fi worked only sometimes
The key is very difficult to be found even with the instruction
In overall, we liked the location of this apt but the flat is inconvenient and not suitable for long staying
Nicely situated apartment. Clear and easy to follow instructions. Inside everything matches the description and pictures. We enjoyed our stay a lot.
Could be a very nice appartment...very central placed with dishwasher, tv and ...if the shower wouldn't have been full of mould and the toaster and other things so dirty that we didn't want to use them.
Though the site was marvelous, the flat itself was a tremendous disappointment. Not only that it was not renovated for quite a while, it was of dubious cleanness and it certainly was not at all the flat we saw in the photo or description. The linen was clean but there was only one bedroom with two squeezed items to sleep on. However, we were pleased with the fact that we could leave our luggage prior to 4 pm and that we could stay in till 1 pm.
I loved it. Before we left, I googled the street and saw that on google maps the nextdoor apartment looked like something from a warzone, so I become quite worried. But all my fears was put to shame. The apartment was gorgous, and without any bugs (something that is typical with places that a lot of people live in, especially in warm countries). With a bath, and a dishwasher, microwave and internett (although slow) it was the perfect place to enjoy Paris for an extended family. The stairs are steep though, so would not recommend the second floor for those that are afraid of hights or fall easily. If they installed a babyblocker so that kids could not climb the stairs the apartment would have been perfect for our needs.
Nice and clean apartment. Very conveniently situated close to the tube station. Would highly recommend to friends and family
Cute appartment with great location in a nice area. However, it was not totaly clean and the furnuture really needs changing.
Very good location, funny flat.It is however time to change the furniture and renovate a bit.Was not really super clean.Good bathroom design.Comfortable for 2-3 persons.Thanks for it!

Just one day after signing a contract with the Oakland Raiders, quarterback Matt Schaub has already been named the starting quarterback for the 2014 season by head coach Dennis Allen as of Saturday. It was hardly needed for Allen to name Schaub as the starting quarterback already, because it was understood that Schaub would be the Raiders starter when they traded for him with the Houston Texans on Friday and took on the last three years of his contract that goes through the 2016 season.
The Raiders don't have the type of quarterbacks on their roster to compete with an advanced veteran quarterback like Schaub. The existing two QBs on the team is Terrelle Pryor and Matt McGloin, and neither of them has shown the type of talent to warrant them being a starting quarterback.
"We brought Matt Schaub in to be our starting quarterback," Allen said via Raiders website. "We feel very confident that he is going to be able to come in and function in that role and be outstanding for us. Obviously, we love having competition within the team, but right now Matt Schaub is our starting quarterback. This is a guy that is a two-time Pro Bowl player. When you get an opportunity to add those type of players, that's what we're looking to do."
Being named as the Raiders starting quarterback before training camp is even started is a hug positive for Schaub because he won't have to worry about beating out the existing quarterbacks on the Raiders team. Instead, he can focus on learning the plays and trying to get comfortable with the Raiders receivers.
The Raiders could use their No.5 pick in the 1st round to select one of the top quarterbacks in the draft. It's not expected that the Raiders will do that unless someone is there that they really like a lot like Johnny Manziel. Blake Bortles or Teddy Bridgewater. With the Raiders in possession of a high draft picks, the chances are very good that they'll wind up with a very good quarterback if their desire is to use their 1st round pick on drafting quarterback.
Schaub has a career completion percentage of 64, and a passing rating of 89.9. He's twice been on Pro Bowl teams.
The difference between Schaub and the other Raiders quarterbacks on the team is the strength of his arm and his size. He's huge, and capable of making a lot of the deep throws that the Raiders have been lacking since they traded away Caron Palmer.

I can't help getting older, but I can help being fat. Continue reading Getting old, not fat
still here
That kinda looks like a baseball with code overlaid on top of it? That's because that is what it is. My life has been revolving around my sons' baseball teams and writing code. Got a lot of work done on some exciting projects like this (mobile) and that. I have been thinking of posting here for weeks, but I have nothing to say. I used to wonder how web developers/designers could neglect their personal web sites, I didn't understand, but now I get it. There's too much life going on to put any time into my own stuff. The wife has been working hard with a few business pursuits that she seems to be enjoying, and I'm happy for her. This also leaves me with all 3 kids a lot of times, and by the time I've worked all day, or run around to the baseball fields, and fed them and helped with homework and got them showered, I'm beat.
I've lost a few very important people to me recently, and I keep reflecting on how little the world cares – it just keeps plodding along. I'm very grateful for them and everything they taught me and I will pass on to my children what they gave to me.
So if you've come here looking for something and were disappointed with what you've found, well, I guess that's unfortunate. I'm still doing the same things, there's just no time to tell anyone about them.
Another site "design". This time I'm completely cheating – just using a template, a free one at that. Nothing fancy to see at all, you might even say I punted, and that wouldn't bother me.

Gameloft announces "Backstab" as Xperia Play timed-exclusive
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Gameloft is every charming lady-killer stereotype ever rolled into one Old Spice-scented ball of suave. And so, fittingly, the mobile juggernaut's wandering eye has now flitted over to the newest device on the dance floor, Sony's Xperia Play.
More surprising, however, is the fact that Backstab – at least, at first glance – doesn't appear to be a graduate from Gameloft's School of Narrow Copyright Infringement Avoidance.
According to PocketGamer, Backstab is a free-roaming action-adventure set in the 18th century. For its first month on virtual shelves, it'll only be available on Xperia Play – after which time it'll plunge its knife into other mobile platforms.
The game's big selling point seems to be its "dynamic combat system," which promises counter-attacks and – based on the few available screenshots – looks more than a bit influenced by Assassin's Creed. Its central story conceit (wrongly accused hero!) and lineup of side activities (duels, races) also sound like they're following in Ezio and Altair's light-as-a-feather footsteps, but until we see more, we can't be entirely sure.
For now, Backstab's shooting for a vague "spring" release date, but with the Xperia's launch just around the corner, we wouldn't be surprised if more details popped up soon.

PW might not as old as the classical but it was from the 70s. That was almost a decade or two more ancient than J-Rock. If you really look at PW dress, it is very much Yoshiki's sans the jewelry and heavy makeup.
PW might not as old as the classical but it was from the 70s. That was almost a decade or two more ancient than J-Rock. If you really look at PW dress, it is very much Yoshiki's sans the jewelry and heavy makeup.
I'm interrested to see what Shae-Lynn Bourne can choreographe. I think she can do beautiful SPs. I especially like Kiira Korpi's Over the Rainbow:
I don't think Bourne's LPs are as great but she might have new ideas. Just have to wait and see. I am optimistic. I definitely wouldn't mind if Hanyu skated to some rock.
I started freaking out when I saw that Shae-Lynn would be choreographing for Yuzu's long!! I was so worried that I'd have to sit through another season of David Wilson (I'd been quite pessimistic about Wilson....) but now maybe we could get something interesting. Even if the program isn't too great, it'll still be a change of style from Wilson and I think Yuzu could learn from that.
someone linked Dai's Mambo program - I LOVE THAT PROGRAM SO MUCH there's this video of FOI from that year of Shae-Lynn and Dai doing it side by side and it was the coolest thing ever.
And this one has tons of momentum, very heroic movement by Tchaikovsky, I wonder why no one has ever used his symphonies as background music, more creative than his ballet music (quite boring and cheesy to my ears): http://youtu.be/av0SFzcfRBE
Therefore we need to note that what is reported is merely "according to people familiar with the matter".
Given that, it's hard to show clear evidence or facts, but as a fan who has been living in Japan and who speak Japanese natively, regarding the financial matters I sometimes think there is some gap between thoughts of Japanese fans and that of overseas fans.
I haven't read everything that is going on GS(so many pages to read!) but I think many Japanese fans are not as optimistic as some posts I found here. Media make various speculations about income of skaters but I've never seen the one which says they are paid a lot from the federation. Some media reports the subsidy for the top skaters(特別強化選手) is about 2,400,000 yen/year (roughly 24,000US$). I'm not sure whether this is very accurate but I don't think this is very far from the reality.
On the bright side, since many Japanese skaters belongs to Kansai uni. or Chukyo uni., they can help skaters with rink fees which accounts considerable part of the cost that skaters need, as those universities have their own ice rinks.
In Yuzuru's case, ANA covers the costs he needs in skating. This contract is estimated to be about 30 million yen, and he has subsidy for JOC Symbol Athlete; 10-20 million yen. It wouldn't make him face with financial difficulty in his training, but considering the costs that figure skaters needs, it doesn't mean he's presently super rich.
Mao appears in a lot of CMs in winter, and it must bring her decent rewards (though reportedly amature skaters have to share those rewards with JSF) but it doesn't hold true for other skaters. Yuzuru's popularity after Sochi would allow him a lot of income if he will appear in many CMs form now on, but so far he is not on many advertisements, so cannot be compared to Mao.
With everyone talking about program music and choreographers...I have a silly question does the skater pick the music piece for the choreographer to build the program around, or do they discuss it together before and both agree on what music to use? I am a dancer and I always select the music first, but I don't know how it works in figure skating!
Probably it's just me , but it seems a little bit akward the way the news about Shae-Lynn has come out...
Thank you jimeonji...that makes most sense, that it depends on circumstance. Like with RJ2 hanyu strongly wanted to use this theme once more
also like you said jimeonji I think if it's true about shae-Lynn, she is a definite change of style and someone hanyu will be able to learn a lot from and grow in creativity as a skater. As it sounds like this is one of his goals this season, I think it could be a powerful match.
simply I would have expected Borser or Hanyu to talk to canadian /japanese press first.

You can't afford kids
Posted in the Proctorville Forum

so don't have any.
#2 Mar 18, 2012
By the time I bought that 84 cavalier wagon and 8 new smart fones for me the wife and the 6 kids then a 90 inch tv from big sandy and a new laptop haha I looked at to much porn on my old one. The incum tax money was gone. I didnt have ane money left to buy rubbers and I dont really like em anywayz. So I guess I'll just keep havin kids and why not the govt will just give me more cash. All you people that work r just dumb. lol
#4 Mar 20, 2012
hey girls if a guy already has 3 or 4 kids by other women and can't afford them why are you getting pregnant by the guy

#9 Mar 20, 2012
Haha!! There is a world of them i guess. Heres a good " label".... If u can't feed em, don't breed em!
#10 Mar 20, 2012
Children are ridiculous expensive these days and there is no guarantee they'll give you anything in return. They're basically expensive baggage. We used to need them when most people lived in farms in order to help out with all the chores. These days they only take away your time, money, and energy.
#11 Mar 21, 2012
Children are lovable and gifts when your ready to devote your life to another person . But the people I'm talking about is every time they get laid the world knows cause they end up pregnant or getting one pregnant! For something that can only happen one day a month...... This is flocking ridiculous
#12 Mar 30, 2012
What an intelligent reply; praying that you do not have children.
#13 Mar 30, 2012
Don't u judge me! I can have as many kids as I wan't 2! and why not the gov't pays me big money to do just that. So you keep workin and payin your taxes so I can get my money.
#14 Apr 3, 2012
It is clear from your postings, your a real winner. I would rather pay taxes to help children as opposed to hundreds of thousands of dollars to research ketchup, fund wars, or study coffee beans.
Since: Mar 12
#15 Apr 3, 2012
I know somebody who has 4 kids and "needs" foodstamps to feed them yet her and her husband always seem to have money for drugs and booze. If you have money for that crap then you should have plenty of money to feed your kids.
#16 Apr 3, 2012
And how is that any concern of yours. If you feel that way why don't you do something about it. Call Dhhr, I would be far more concerned as how the children deal with their mother and father drinking and doing drugs.
You have totally overlooked the welfare of the children. If you can do nothing but spout off on topics then you may want to rethink how you view the situation.
Since: Mar 12
#17 Apr 3, 2012
Dhhr has been notified. The school has called them as well. Next step is notifying the sherrif's office.
#18 Apr 4, 2012
Then you have done your part. You don't need to be spewing on Topics. Personally, I think anyone who uses topics as a venue for gossiping or bashing other people needs to examine their conscious.
#19 Apr 4, 2012
I'll tell you how that concerns me I bust my ass to feed my family while some people sell there foodstamp for fifty cents on the dollar I go without so my kids can have things but that's what a real man does and will continue to do it and do what about it you can call go to Walmart first of month look at the over flowing buggies filled with Twinkies junk food I feel for the children not blaming them but If you have no job stop having kids they don't have a job but they have there cell phone with a ear piece in start drug testing If they don't pass take the kids at least that way my tax money isn't wasted
#20 Apr 4, 2012
That is admirable but still not your concern. Your concern should be your family. Many individuals go without for their children and they should. I don't shop at Walmart-my opinion is they are a corporate bully. If you want to make a change then run for congress. If your just going to babble then there is nothing left to say.
You think your going to change anything with your finger strokes?

It's a model of an abattoir after a swine flu cull.

@Rich – yes.
Does anyone know which one? The shapes formed are catenary arches which when inverted would create a very efficient structures following optimum stress lines.
Despite the simplicity of the method, this is a rather sophisticated structural approach – far more so than gothic cathedrals which are often surprisingly structurally inelegant.

It's Gaudi model for the structure of the La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Strings with weights – when inverted – becomes the model for the structure.

@Rob Spot on. The 'unfamiliar' item is indeed an inverted model of Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece in Barcelona.

not to split hairs, but i believe that's gaudi's catenary arch model for the unfinished cathedral at colonia guell outside of barcelona. the appearances of the two churches' designs are similar in some respects, and gaudi DID use this method of representation for both, but the sagrada familia has more pronounced, elongated towers (whereas the ones on the church at colonia guell were to have a more conical appearance)

@Scott. Looks like you're right. The model is in the basement of Sagrada Familia but is of the Colonia Guell .

It looks like the ballast bag array for a Japanese WWII transcontinental balloon bomb. I saw one at the US Air Force Museum many years ago.

unfinished for now…. to watch them work inside the cathedral using the traditional stone cutting techniques is absolutely amazing…. maybe one day they will actually finish it

It's a model used by Gaudi to create the towers and archs of the Church of La Colonia Guell of Barcelona (in Catalonia).
Is based on the museum of La Sagrada Familia where it explain how Gaudi created his buildings

it appears to be part of a "fly gallery", the system of ropes and counterweights to suspend various theatrical scene elements backstage, hmmm.
