Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I have so much admiration for Chris as both an attorney and as a fine human being. In the past several years I have had a chance to get to know Chris very well and I am so impressed with the criminal defense attorney he has become. Chris has handled hundreds of criminal cases in Sacramento over the past several years, and has taken on and won some very tough trials. Chris has become a real force to be reckoned with for any District Attorney who thinks they can file weak cases and bull doze a defendant. Chris believes in his clients and he will stand up defiantly against the whole world in defense of his clients. You cannot find a better defense attorney in Sacramento than Chris. I should know, I have been around Sacramento for a long time and I know who the good attorneys and the bad attorneys are. Chris has my highest endorsement.

Stayed here for 3 nights.
My room was beside the bar and the music was incredibly loud.
One of the evenings i was watching tv in my room and couldn't even hear it over the music.
The rooms have lovely big windows but as there are no blinds, i had to keep the curtains closed all the time to have some privacy, making the room quite dark.
I asked at the reception for bus times to san Jose. All she told me was that they had a shuttle bus available for $45 which is very expensive compared to about $12 on local buses. She just tried to sell me this and gave me no information on the public transport.
This is the most expensive hostel i've stayed in in Costa Rica at $44 per night for a single room.
Although the room was fine, nothing special, and the location was good, I wouldn't stay here again.

The servlet container will set several request attributes that identify the request URI and other path elements of the included servlet. For instance, in your servlet you can test if you are included like this: if (request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.include.request_uri") != null) { ... I have been included ... } else { ... I have not been included ... } so you don't even need a special query parameter for this purpose. See the servlet 2.2 specification <http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html> for more information. > Wyn Easton Craig McClanahan

ATP (Beat Kamp Muzik)
Moonshine (US Title TBD)
Already considered the king of New Zealand hip-hop, rapper Savage is hoping that a new domestic record deal with Universal Republic will spread his Kiwi success to the rest of the world. The first single from his U.S. debut will be a remix to his '05 down-under, club banger, Swing. Having topped New Zealand's singles chart for five weeks straight, the 26-year old-Auckland native held an online contest to help him decide who he should feature on the remix; the winner was fellow club jam master Soulja Boy, who saw the song as an opportunity to continue his "she gotta Donk" trend. As Swing starts to get spins all over the world this summer, New Zealanders can sit back laughing—after all, they knew it had hit-power three years ago.

"Europa - the Foreign Legion and goats" Europa Island by Ekahau
Europa Island Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 13 photos
This is the Southernmost of the French islands in the Channel of Mozambique, I flew over this and the near by Bassa da India in a King Air the Embassy used at the time on my way to Reunion from South Africa the Military attach� pilot flew down low enough to take some photos.
For a long time in sailing this place was confused with BASSA DA INDIA on the charts. On December 24, 1774, English ship EUROPA recognized it with certainty, and its name gave him as that of the ship. Some colonists tried to a few time to set up house here but all the attempts at colonization failed. About 1860, French colonists with the name of ROSE TREE (2 brothers) coming from Tul�ar, settle in Europa and take along with them some animals. A few years later, they disappeared from Europa but the left some Goats behind and now there are about 300 goats on the Island.
On October 31, 1897, France declares EUROPA a dependence and concessions were granted to private individuals, for the development of the island. In 1903, a small colony was installed on the island. About 1910, the island of EUROPA had a small sedentary population and history of these colonists is known by the tombs of the small cemetery of EUROPA: Marie Virginia BEAUCHAMP deceased on March 5, 1910 and Miss Aur�lie STEPHEN deceased on May 1, 1910.
The 2nd Foreign Legion Parachutist Regiment out of Calvi Franch has a small detachment of about 25 posted on Europa and there is a small scientific team that runs the weather station. The few tombs forming the small cemetery of EUROPA are maintained by the 2nd RPIMA.
Europa is now a nature reserve and from November to March that the island is visited by marine tortoises and approximately eight thousand female tortoises come ashore to deposit their eggs on Europa

Yeah, nice virtual tour.. Thanx!
The virtual discovery shall suffice for me, Thank you very much! Cheers, Marina :-)
You are a true adventurer! I'm not too sure if I would be able to survive such a desolate place like Europa Island. I need booze, women, and urban violence when I'm on vacation.
Waow!!! To see picture of such small island just blow me away. Just to be there. Keep exploring my friend. It is really unique to see this and share it with us.
Kind opf like my home in St Pierre remote small and French
those flyspecks in the middle of a huge ocean - how enchanting they are
Nature reserve, tortoises... sounds like a fairyland! I was infinitely happy on Brazil's Fernando de Noronha Island to get the opportunity to swim close to one of them :)
To get stationed here, you have to be a pain in someone's behind, no?! ;-\
GOSH! This is 1 island I truly not heard of....
Wow... oh la la. Beautiful. Cheers, SL

Condoleezza Rice tells the 9/11 commission Bush ordered invasion of Afghanistan on September 4th 2001. A WEEK BEFORE 9/11.

Boyle email@example.com 10-12-1 Obviously, the war against Afghanistan was planned for quite some time We know for a fact that it had been war-gamed by the Pentagon going back to 1997 Right around September 11, two US Aircraft carrier task forces conveniently arrived in the Persian Gulf right at the same time on "rotation" Obviously, preplanned Just before September 11, the UK had put together what was billed at the "largest armada since the Falklands War" and had it steaming towards Oman, where now 23,000 UK troops are on maneuvers This had been planned for at least 3 years Also, the US "Bright Star" operation is currently going on in Egypt 23,000 US troops plus an additional 17,000 from NATO and its associates This had been planned at least two years ago Finally, NATO just landed 12,000 troops into Turkey This had been planned for at least two years It is obvious that we are seeing an operational War Plan being executed here that had been in the works for at least the past four years September 11 is either a pretext or a trigger or both.

But far too little attention has focused on why the US went to war, and that throws light on British motives too. The conventional explanation is that after the Twin Towers were hit, retaliation against al-Qaida bases in Afghanistan was a natural first step in launching a global war against terrorism. Then, because Saddam Hussein was alleged by the US and UK governments to retain weapons of mass destruction, the war could be extended to Iraq as well. However this theory does not fit all the facts. The truth may be a great deal murkier. We now know that a blueprint for the creation of a global Pax Americana was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), Jeb Bush (George Bush's younger brother) and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences, was written in September 2000 by the neoconservative think tank, Project for the New American Century (PNAC). The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says "while the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein." The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document attributed to Wolfowitz and Libby which said the US must "discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role". It refers to key allies such as the UK as "the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership". It describes peacekeeping missions as "demanding American political leadership rather than that o...

The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between psychological state and perceived strain in relation to fertility problems. Couples presenting at an infertility clinic completed, on two occasions seven months apart, a series of standardized measures to assess psychopathology. In addition, they completed a weekly diary rating their mood state or distress/strain over a period of 22 weeks, during which investigations and treatment were taking place. Little evidence of psychopathology was found in the sample; the weekly diaries also suggested a general lack of distress/strain, even in response to medical investigations and diagnosis. The results are discussed in the light of wide individual variations in ratings obtained from the diaries. Participants with high distress/strain scores tended to have significantly higher initial scores on the psychometric measures administered. Participants with high distress/strain scores were also more likely to show a further significant increase in distress/strain scores in relation to diagnostic information. It is argued that a task for future research is to determine the characteristics of those couples who are likely to experience difficulty in coping with the strain of infertility investigations so that counselling resources and support services can be most effectively targeted. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Star-a-Day: Justin Warnerby Sara Levine in Food Network Star, April 29, 2012

Does anyone know the original source for the Borel-Kolmogorov paradox? Is it online somewhere? Kolmogorov doesn't give a precise citation. (He does list three works by Borel in his bibliography, but it is not easy for me to check them.)
Borel discusses the problem of the distribution of latitude along a meridian of longitude beginning near the bottom of page 102 of his Eléments de la théorie des probabilités, published in 1909 and accessible online here.
The references in wikipedia do not lead to an answer?

LOS ANGELES -- Before each season, every Big Ten coach talks about only one destination: Pasadena.
The Rose Bowl remains the holy grail in a league that unabashedly puts its traditional Jan. 1 matchup against the Pac-10 on a pedestal. The Big Ten's bond with the Rose Bowl runs deep, and it's felt from Iowa City to State College, from Columbus to Madison.
No one takes it lightly.
"It's something that if you coach in the Big Ten or the Pac-10, it's certainly in front of you every day," Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel said. "It's a goal that you want to be a part of the Rose Bowl."
The connection also draws criticism in college football circles. The Big Ten has been called arrogant, stubborn and detrimental to the greater good of the game for clinging to its Rose Bowl tie-in.
Any list of top opponents to a college football playoff system starts with the Big Ten and the Rose Bowl.
All of our players, all of our teams, would love to win a national championship, but to be honest with you, if the price were giving up the Rose Bowl, it's probably not a price we'd want to pay.
-- Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany
The Big Ten, quite frankly, doesn't care.
"That's who we are," commissioner Jim Delany said. "It's where we've been for the last six decades. It's probably the most important external relationship we have. All of our players, all of our teams, would love to win a national championship, but to be honest with you, if the price were giving up the Rose Bowl, it's probably not a price we'd want to pay."
But the Big Ten has paid a heavy price at the Rose Bowl in recent years. The league has dropped six straight in its signature game, five by 10 points or more.
While Ohio State's back-to-back blowout defeats in the national title game caused the most damage to the league's national reputation, the annual Rose Bowl flops aren't helping, either.
The Big Ten's path to Pasadena is filled with potholes right now. But has the league truly put its best foot forward?
Of all the Big Ten explanations for recent Rose Bowl futility -- the virtual road-game environment, the extra-long layoff before the postseason, having to play USC during its peak years -- one seems to hold the most water.
The Big Ten's team of the decade hasn't played in the Rose Bowl even once this decade.
Ohio State has won or shared six Big Ten championships since 2002, including a current streak of five straight titles. The Buckeyes own a 59-13 record in conference play (.819) since Tressel arrived as coach before the 2001 season. And yet they haven't been to the Rose Bowl since Jan. 1, 1997.
The last time a team dominated the Big Ten the way Ohio State has, Michigan won or shared five consecutive league titles from 1988 to 1992. The Wolverines also went to the Rose Bowl in four of those five years.
But that was before the BCS, which has repeatedly sent Ohio State elsewhere for its bowl games -- until now. The Buckeyes finally get to represent the league they've dominated on Jan. 1 against Oregon at the Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi.
It seems like an eternity since the Buckeyes last played in Pasadena. Nearly 13 years ago, quarterback Joe Germaine led the Scarlet and Gray on a last-minute touchdown drive to beat Jake Plummer and Arizona State.
Germaine's heroics sparked a four-game win streak for the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl. But since Wisconsin beat Stanford on Jan. 1, 2000, the Big Ten has whiffed in Pasadena.
Ohio State wants to change that against Oregon. Fairly or unfairly, the Buckeyes receive the brunt of the blame for the Big Ten's damaged national rep. The league owns a six-game losing streak in BCS bowls, and Ohio State is responsible for half of those losses.
There are those both inside and outside the Ohio State program who believe the responsibility of fixing the Big Ten falls squarely upon the Buckeyes.
"We talked about that during the summer when we were working out, how our class hasn't won a bowl game," senior safety Anderson Russell said. "We definitely want to do that, and what better opponent to do it against than Oregon?"
And what better stage to do it on than the Rose Bowl?

TOP-COATED AND COLOR-STABILIZED FOAMED PVC ARTICLE AND PLASTISQL LIQUID COMPONENT THEREOF Filed Feb. 20, 1967 INVENTOR. GORDON M. JUREDINE ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,501,370 TOP-COATED AND COLOR-STABILIZED FOAMED PVC ARTICLE AND PLASTISOL LIQUID COM- PONENT THEREOF Gordon M. Juredine, Cleveland Heights, Ohio, assignor to Synthetic Products Company, Cleveland, Ohio, a corporation of Ohio Filed Feb. 20, 1967, Ser. No. 617,365 Int. Cl. B32b .5718 US. Cl. 161-160 19 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Laminated articles having foamed designs and outstanding color permanence and clarity are produced by incorporating into the plastisol, from which the top-coating is formed, 100 parts of PVC, zinc and barium soaps having 6 to 12, inclusive, carbon atoms to provide 0.003 to 0.08 part each of zinc and barium, a mixture of about equal parts of an alkyl diaryl phosphite with a linear polyaryl polyalkylene ether-polyphosphite to provide .04 to 0.8 part of phosphorus and preferably .001 to 0.5 part of a higher fatty acid.
The present invention relates to a top-coate'tL'foamed polyvinyl chloride article, to an improved top-coating for foamed polyvinyl chloride articles, and to a method for making such articles. Polyvinyl chloride is sometimes hereinafter designated by the often used term, PVC.
Floor coverings comprising foamed polyvinyl chloride compositions of various color combinations and designs are now being marketed. These foamed coverings have many advantages over the unfoamed floor coverings, but they must be provided with a wear-resistant top-coating which in most cases must be transparent and colorless to permit the design and color of the base to be visible and, in fact, to accentuate the design and appearance of the floor covering. The foamed polyvinyl chloride is usually blown with an azo-type blowing agent, such for example as azodicarbonamide. Such foam may contain or develop chromophoric groups which lead to color change or broken away, of a foamed article embodying the present invention.
Referring to the drawing, the foamed article comprises essentially a base 1 of chemically blown polyvinyl chloride compound and wear-resistant top coating 2, which is preferably transparent and of high clarity. The base 1 may optionally be attached to a backing, such as a paper or fabric material or other fibrous material 3. The base 1 may have designs (not shown) of varied colors and density therein. It may be formed by calendering a plastic PVC (polyvinyl chloride) compound containing a blowing agent dispersed therethrough into sheet or strip form, with or without backing, or it may be formed by applying a plastisol compound containing blowing agent onto a suitable backing, or onto a paper which is coated to prevent adhesion, and then heating to gel and fuse the plastisol prior to applying the top-coating thereon. To insure a very fine pore structure in the base 1, the blowing agent is preferably dispersed in the PVC base compound by utilizing a preformed paste comprising very finely ground particles of blowing agent dispersed in a liquid plasticizer, such as dioctyl phthalate, epoxidized soybean oil, etc. for the polyvinyl chloride. The blowing of the PVC compound is, of course, dependent on the temperature obtained and the decomposition temperature of the blowing agent which has been dispersed in the PVC compound.
The top-coating 2 is applied as a liquid plastisol to the calendered surface (blown or unblown) of the base 1, or to the surface of the gelled or gelled and fused base 1 if the latter is formed by the plastisol technique. After the application of the top-coating to the solid resin base layer 1, the whole is pressed through a suitable oven or heating zone to cause gelling and fusing of the top coating layer. If the base layer 1 has not been previously heated sufliciently to decompose the blowing agent therein, the heating at this time should be sufficiently high to also cause such decomposition and formation of sponge.
The plastisol for formation of the top-coating of the present invention comprises a suitable plastisol-type polyvinyl chloride resin, one or more plasticizers therefor, usually some volatile but relatively high boiling solvent,
' and stabilizing ingredients.
darkening of the floor coverings, particularly in such places as near radiators where low temperature (160 F. to 210 F.) aging takes place. Replacement of such blown floor coverings has been very costly to the manufacturer.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition and a method of making a composition that may be applied to a surface of shaped polyvinyl chloride compounds, such as films or layers thereof, before or after the heat-decomposition of the blowing agent, to form a wear-resistant top-coating over the sponge produced, which top-coating inhibits or prevents color change in the surface regions of the chemically blown polyvinyl chloride articles and which improves the appearance thereof.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a blown PVC base article and a method of making such articles which shows colors and designs with high clarity and which eliminates or inhibits color change on low temperature aging and also during the high temperature processing necessary during manufacture of the article.
It is another object of this invention to provide a stabilizer that may be easily mixed with one or more plasticizers for PVC to provide part or all of the liquid phase of a plastisol compound, which, when applied to foamable or foamed PVC, will inhibit color changes on aging.
Other objects will be apparent from the following de scription of my invention, as illustrated in part by the appended drawing, which is a perspective view, with parts The PVC resins are generally characterized by having fine particle size, but of relatively smooth surface or low surface area as indicated by low liquid absorption, as compared to PVC resins which are deliberately blown to provide a porous surface, so as to absorb plasticizer and permit making of dry-mix compounds. Examples of suitable plasetisol type resins are those commercially available under the trade names Opolan VR-50, Geon 120X-203, Exon 654, etc. In addition to such PVC resins, copolymers of vinyl chloride and one or more of vinyl acetate and vinylidene chloride having 50% or more of combined vinyl chloride (preferably or more) may be used as part or all of the plastisol resin.
The plasticizing constituent may be any one or more of the available liquid plasticizers for PVC. Those commonly used include those of the epoxy type, for example Paraplex G62 (an epoxidized soybean oil) and Admix 746, the ester type such as dioctyl adipate and dioctylphthalate and diisooctyl-phthalate, the benzoate type such as glycol benzoates, for example the Benzoflexes, including Benzoflex 2-45 (diethylene glycol benzoate) and Benzoflex P200 (polyethylene glycol dibenzoate), Texanol- Isobutyrate (isobutyrate), etc. The amount of plasticizer used depends both on the eificiency thereof and the hardness desired for the top-coating. It is usually preferable that the plasticizer comprise about one-half or about 35% to 65% of the weight of the resin, although from about 20% to of the weight of the resin is sometimes used.
Both the plasticizer and the volatile solvent function to facilitate spreading or application of the top-coating on the foamed or fo'arnable PVC base layer 1. Thinner coatings are obtained with less viscous plastisols. The amount of volatile solvent used is therefore largely determined by the fluidity or viscosity desired. When greater hardness in the top-coating is desired, a less efficient plasticizer may be used and/ or the amount of plasticizer may be reduced and more volatile, but relatively high boiling solvent may be added to produce the desired fluidity.
The component of the plastisol to which the present invention is particularly directed is the stabilizer. The composition of this component is critical when the plastisol is used to provide a top-coating over a blown (sponge) PVC compound. The selection of the separate ingredients in the stabilizer and the balance or proportion of the amounts thereof is important, particularly when color brightnesss, color permanence and color reproducibility are major considerations.
The stabilizer comprises (1) a barium soap having 6 to 12, inclusive, preferably 8 to 10, inclusive, carbon atoms in the fatty acid radical thereof, (2) a zinc soap having 6 to 12, preferably 8 to 10, inclusive, carbon atoms in the fatty acid radicals thereof, (3) a mixture of (a) one or more alkyl diaryl phosphites and (b) one or more linear polyaryl (polyaryl here includes polyalkaryl) polyphosphites having phosphite groups connected through alkylene ether linkages having 1 to 4, and preferably 3 carbons in the alkylene groups thereof, i.e. having the groups of the phosphite groups,
O-FO i linked by one or more oxyalkylene ether linkages,
wherein n is 1 to 3, preferably 2, X is hydrogen or methyl, and R is aryl or alkaryl and preferably phenyl, and having terminal oxygen valences connected to aryl (including alkaryl) groups, preferably (4) a high molecular weight (12 or more carbon atoms) fatty acid which is preferably unsaturated, such for example as oleic, ricinoleic and linoleic acids, and usually (5) a high boiling solvent mixture.
The stabilizer is used in amounts of 1 to 8 parts (usually 2 to 6 parts are preferred) per 100 parts of the PVC resin of the plastisol. In the stabilizer, a combination of the above barium and zinc soaps in the presence of the phosphites have about the same index of refraction as the fused resin. These soaps should be present in the amounts to provide 0.3% to 1.0%, preferably about 0.5% to 0.7%, of barium calculated as metal and 0.3% to 1% of zinc, preferably about .5% to .7% calculated as metal. With lesser amounts of these soaps the heat-stability becomes insufficient and with larger amounts the discoloration at low temperature aging becomes more rapid. The combination of barium and zinc soaps with the phosphite mixture maintains a blue-white reflectance. If a blue-white reflectance is not required, part or even all of the barium soap can be substituted by equivalent amounts of calcium soap. However, inasmuch as the barium is quite superior to calcium, at least one-half of the total of calcium and barium should generally be barium. The total of barium and calcium present should be 0.3% to 1% calculated as the elemental metals.
It is important in the products of my invention that the monophosphites have no more than two aryl groups present as triarylphosphites are found to hydrolyze or split off phenols which promote color change on low temperature aging of the article, even though such triarylphosphites are advantageous at higher temperatures encountered during processing.
The two classes of phosphites are used in about equal proportions or preferably about 40% to 50% of the alkyldiaryl phosphite should be used with about 60% to 50% of the linear polyphosphite. The mixture of phosphites acts as an antioxident in the plastisol and combines with the free radicals generated by light to which the article is exposed. It also cooperates with the soaps above used to provide the suitable index of refraction required. The mixture of the above particular types of phosphite provides the reaction rate required to counteract the free radicals caused by the light and radiation to which the foam is exposed.
The phosphites are used in the stabilizer in sufficient amount to provide 4% to 10% phosphorous (usually about 5% to 8%) calculated as elemental phosphorous. Maximum amounts of the phosphite are preferred commensurate with cost limitations.
The long-chain carboxylic acids (higher fatty acids), such as oleic, should be present in amounts of about 0.1% to 5% of the weight thereof. These higher fatty acids cooperate in a synergistic manner with wetting agents or surface active agents for nonaqueous vehicles to improve release of air from the plastisol and facilitate the formation of a more uni-form film.
When the percentages of the effective ingredients are based on the weight of resin content of plastisol, the plastisol will contain the aforesaid ingredients in such amounts as to provide .003% to .08% of barium as metal, .003% to 0.08% of zinc as metal, 0.04% to 0.8% phosphorus as elemental phosphorus, and .00'1% to 0.5 of oleic acid or other equivalent fatty acid as aforementioned. The phosphorus is proportioned as aforementioned between the two types of phosphite compounds.
The alkyl group in the abovementioned alkyl diarylphosphites should have 6 to 12, inclusive, carbon atoms, preferably 8 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl group thereof. The aryl group is preferably phenyl or tolyl, although naphthyl-substituted phosphites may be used. Examples of the preferred alkyl diarylphosphites are decyldiphenylphosphite and octyldiphenylphosphite.
Examples of the above linear polyaryl polyphosphites, which must be mixed with the alkyl diarylphosphites to obtain the balance in the stabilizer required for the advantages aforesaid, are tetrakis(nonylphenyl)dipropylene glycol diphosphite, and decaphenyl heptakis(dipropylene glycol) octaphosphite. It will beseen that in these polyphosphites the terminal phosphite groups are attached to two phenyl (including alkyl-substituted phenyl) groups, and each phosphorus atom is connected directly to at least one aryloxy (including alkyl-substituted aryloxy) group.
The high boiling solvent mixture may or may not be used. It is however, desirable in properly homogenizing and solvating the ingredients of the stabilizer so that a clear film may be deposited from the plastisol. The solvent, if used, is primarily a high boiling point hydrocarbon (B.P. 200 to 400 F.) mixed with a small amount of one or more polyglycols or polyglycolethers, such as butyl carbitol (diethylene glycol butyl ether), dipropylene glycol methylether, tripropylene glycol, etc., preferably having 2 to 3 carbons in the alkylene groups thereof and up to 4 carbon atoms, inclusive, in any alkyl groups thereof. These glycols and glycol ethers when added improve compatibility and the soaps are conveniently first prepared as a solution in the solvent of about 25% solids content. Generally, the solvent mixture constitutes between 15 and 45% or 50% of the stabilizer component of the above plastisol with about 30% by weight, being optimum.
The stabilizer functions not only as aforesaid to prevent discoloration and increase inbrightness and clarity of contrasting colors, but also to improve release of entrapped air from the plastisol. To this end, the oleic acid, or equivalent similar fatty acid component, greatly assists other wetting agents which may also be present. We have found no available wetting agent which functions to release air from the plastisol layer as do the aforementioned fatty acids in combination with a wetting agent soluble in the liquid component of the plastisol.
The following examples, in which parts are by weight, illustrate the invention:
EXAMPLE 1 (A) A solution of barium octoate, containing about 2.9 to 3% barium, calculated as metal, is prepared by dissolving approximately 9 grams of barium octoate in 100 grams of a liquid mixture consisting principally of high boiling liquid hydrocarbons (B.P. 325 F.) with a minor amount of one or more of dipropylene glycol methylether and tripropylene glycol.
(B) Another solution containing about 3% of zinc, calculated as metal, is prepared by dissolving about 16.2 grams of zinc octoate in 100 grams of a mixture of high boiling liquid hydrocarbon solvent (B.P. 325 F.) and a minor amount of butyl carbitol (diethylene glycol monobutyl ether).
(C) A mixture is prepared of 45 parts by weight of one or more of octyl and decyl diphenyl phosphites with 55 parts of one or more of tetrakis(nonylphenyl)dipropylene glycol diphosphite and decaphenyl heptakis(dipropylene glycol) octaphosphite.
19.55 parts of the barium soap solution A above, 19.55 parts of the zinc soap solution B above, 58.1 parts of the mixed phosphites C above, and 1.80 parts of oleic acid are mixed together to form the stabilizer component for addition to the plastisol.
EXAMPLE 2 100 parts of Geon-120X-203 polyvinyl chloride resin are thoroughly mixed with 50 parts of a mixture of equal proportions of Paraplex G62 (epoxidized soybean oil) and dioctylphthalate and with 4 parts of the stabilizer of 'Example 1. The plastisol thus prepared contains per 100 parts of the resin, zinc and barium soaps suflicient to provide .023 part of each of barium and zinc calculated as metal, .0072 part of oleic acid, 1.28 part of the polyphosphites, and 1.08 part of the monophosphite. The plastisol is spread by suitable means, for example by means of a doctor-blade over the upper surface of a calendered base layer of blowable PVC compound containing azodicarbonamide dispersed therein as the blowing agent and having colored designs printed thereon. The whole is then passed into a continuous oven where the temperature is gradually raised to about 260 C. to cause gelling and fusing of the plastisol and decomposition of the blowing agent with resultant formation of the spongy polyvinyl chloride. The floor covering material thus produced is allowed to cool and has the design and colors strikingly apparent in true colors. Even after aging the flooring for long periods at low temperatures 160 F. to 210 F the color remains unchanged.
While in the top-coating compositions of the present invention other stabilizer ingredients are unnecessary, it is understood that other stabilizer compositions may be mixed with those of the present invention. Additional antioxidants may also be present if desired, but such should not include appreciable amounts, if any, of phenols, phenates, and triphenyl phosphites, which latter apparently hydrolyze to produce phenols that cooperate with groups derived from blowing agents to promote color changes on low temperature aging. While also unnecessary for ordinary use it is sometimes desirable to incorporate into the plastisol or into the stabilizer compositions a small amount of a potassium soap having 6 to 18, inclusive, carbon atoms, such as potassium hexoate, potassium laurate, potassium oleate, etc.

A pension is one of the most tax-efficient ways of saving for retirement. Like all pensions, a SIPP (Self Invested Personal Pension) offers up to 45% tax relief on contributions and there is no UK capital gains tax or UK income tax to pay. The tax benefits will depend on your individual circumstances and tax rules are subject to change by the government. More about the tax benefits.
Traditional pensions typically limit investment choice to a shorter list of funds, normally run by the pension company's own fund managers, however a SIPP lets you invest almost anywhere you like and choose your own investments.
What's more, you can manage your SIPP completely online, enabling you to buy and sell investments at the click of a mouse, and our Pensions Helpdesk are here 6 days a week to help.
Our award-winning Vantage SIPP has no set-up fees, which means more of your money working for you.
You can deal shares online from just £5.95 to £11.95 a deal plus benefit from super-low annual charges on several top funds - the discounts we have negotiated for our clients save them £12.6 million every year.

The Vantage SIPP lets you choose from thousands of funds run by some of the finest fund managers. You can also select from individual shares, corporate bonds, gilts, investment trusts, ETFs and cash.
The greater the interest you take in your SIPP, the larger your retirement pot is likely to be.
Find out where you can invest your SIPP
Start saving from as little as £25 a month into the Vantage SIPP (a payment of just £20, to which the government will automatically add £5 tax relief). Set up a direct debit and we will collect the money from your account on the 7th of every month, so you don't have to do a thing. You can start, stop, increase and decrease your contributions whenever you like.

From age 55 (57 from 2028), you can start taking withdrawals, normally up to 25% tax free and the rest taxed as income.
The Vantage SIPP offers the pension freedoms so you can take as much of your pension as you wish.
You could choose to take the whole fund as cash in one go, smaller lump sums as and when you like, or a regular income (via drawdown or an annuity). Remember your pension may need to last throughout your retirement in order to maintain your standard of living.

Service is excellent. I particularly value your regular communication and the fact the correspondence and telephone calls are dealt with by real, intelligent, business-like people so much more respectful of your customers and so much more efficient than most other financial service providers.

The range of investment funds to choose from is outstanding and I'm pleased to have more direct control over my investments.
Mr Bradley, London
I have transferred various pensions to my SIPP at Hargreaves Lansdown. I must say I have received an excellent service by phone and by email. All the hassle was taken from me by HL and made my life a lot easier. Also dealing in funds online and switching is straight forward.
Mr Bhudia, Middlesex
Since dealing with HL for the last seven years, I have always been very happy with the prompt, efficient service I have received.

A SIPP is a type of pension for people happy to make their own investment decisions. Investments go down in value as well as up so you could get back less than you invest. The rules mentioned are those currently applying and could change in the future. You can normally only access the money from age 55 (57 from 2028). Tax reliefs depend on your circumstances. This website is not personal advice, if you are unsure an investment is right for you, please seek advice.
