I love the site too!
Hey, do you really love popcorn? I once bought a fifty pound bag of unpopped corn at Sam's Club and almost single-handedly ate the entire bag, popped in a copper-bottom skillet.
Oh now you've got me drooling! LOL Yes, I LOVE the stuff...my wish for Christmas every year is a popcorn machine like you see in movie theaters. Darn husband just keeps giving me stuff like jewelry, clothes, etc. :-)
bump for later, getting service unavailable msg for now
Try this URL instead...I don't know why the original one won't work!
Even with that one I get "service unavailable" - but I will keep checking back.
I get that "service unavailable" message too...and don't know why! I've gone to the site many, many times without any problems. Keep trying!
Here is a picture, even!
Kinda gettin' off the subject of your thread, I guess...but I'm bumping it to the top anyways! :-)
It just took a few more tries, but I finally got through and I have someone I will be sending a package to soon.
Now you've done it! My husband had a business dinner tonight so I was planning to eat some leftovers. But now I'm thinking of a big ol' bowl of popcorn for my supper! Yummmmm!!!
That's a great site, thanks for the link.
What does BTTT mean?
bump to the top ^ ^ ^
I luv popcorn too! I spent most of the day preparing a box to ship to Afghanistan....Sent it priority mail. Great site. Thanks for posting....Y'all ... TAKE TIME TO READ THE NEEDS OF OUR SOLDIERS ...better yet, take the time to respond.
We could all put together just one extra gift for a soldier overseas.
I don't know why the original one won't work!
I suspect a plot.
Remember just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they really aren't out to get you.
PS. Iluvpopcrn too! :-)
This needs bumped every day. I already have used this site and they are POSTING every day!!!
I see your bump and raise you one! :-)
I see your bump and raise you one! :-)
And I raise you... what a great vehicle this is to support the troops... I consider this a fine way to stick my finger in the media's eye. btt
The posters in Iraq and Afghanistan now number over 3,000, they ask for as little as simply letters of support. By reading their posts, you will get the *latest news* of the war effort.
You can get a flat postage rate box at the post office for free, and pay $7.70 to send a box of goodies to a soldier/marine/airman/marine who has little support from home. They mostly ask for little, just support.
This is a great cause. Visit http://www.anysoldier.com Click on "where to send" and read some posts from our soldiers... their posts fill in the blanks the media chooses to ignore. Read the posts for a few days, and you will learn much.

On paper, the Red Sox feature three locks in their rotation and what seems like about a dozen question marks whom the team hopes to re-shape into a couple of answers.
Given that the failures of the rotation played a central role in the team's collapse in 2011, it has been natural to view the team's financially conservative approach to rotation building with some skepticism. Rather than pursuing an obvious (and pricey) upgrade, the Sox to date have brought a number of potentially cost-effective solutions into the mix.
The team's approach to the construction of its rotation is partly a function of its payroll limits and partly a function of its comfort with the front three of Jon Lester, Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz, three pitchers who -- if healthy -- have potentially dominating stuff.
As good as Lester, Beckett and Buchholz can be (again, with the caveat that they must remain healthy -- not a given based on the fact that all three missed time due to injury in 2011, and that Beckett and Buchholz have missed significant time on the DL in recent seasons), it is worth asking: Are the Sox being too cavalier with the back of their rotation?
Put another way: The Sox' goal is to compete for a championship. That being the case, what kind of back-end starters do World Series-winning teams have, and where do they come from?
The 2011 Cardinals offer an interesting case-study in the making of a championship rotation. The team made a mid-year adjustment to its rotation, adding Edwin Jackson in a trade. In October, they featured four starters (Chris Carpenter, Jaime Garcia, Kyle Lohse, Edwin Jackson) who had been good rather than great.
None were All-Stars. All featured ERAs that were slightly better than league average but not significantly so, with all four finishing the season with an ERA+ (the pitcher's ERA as compared to the league average) that was better than 100 but less than 110.
In some respects, this year's Cardinals team had an unusual profile for a World Series winner. The absence of starting pitchers who had been dominant during the regular season was atypical.
Of the 17 World Series winners since the advent of the divisional round of the playoffs in 1995, 10 (59 percent) have had at least three pitchers with an ERA+ of 110 or better (meaning ERAs that were at least 10 percent better than league average). All but two of the last 17 World Series winners (88 percent) have had at least two such pitchers.
That said, just four (24 percent) have had four postseason starters who had an ERA+ of 110 or better during the regular season. In that sense, it would appear that a dominant No. 4 starter is more unusual than it is common for championship teams.
In that respect, the 2011 Cardinals were very much in line with precedent. Last season's St. Louis team also featured a number of additional shared traits with prior championship rotations. Among them:
-- A mid-year alteration to the rotation. Of the last 17 World Series winners, 11 (65 percent) have featured a postseason starter who wasn't with the team in the majors at the beginning of the year. Five of those teams made trades; seven received at least one start in October from a pitcher who was called up after the start of the season.
-- A solid fourth starter. While recent championship teams typically have not featured dominant Game 4 starters in the postseason, they usually do feature a fourth starter who is roughly league average. Of the last 17 World Series winners, 10 (59 percent) have had four starters with an ERA+ of 100 or better.
So what does all of that mean for the Red Sox? There are a couple of implications.
First, if the Sox can have a healthy and productive Lester, Beckett and Buchholz joined by one league-average starter from their wide-ranging mix of candidates for the last two spots in the rotation, then they will feature a rotation that aligns with the type of starting groups that has proven capable of winning championships. In all likelihood, the team doesn't need an ace, but rather just a solid, reliable contributor who can keep the team in the game on a predictable basis.
Secondly, there is a reasonable chance that the Sox will need to identify some kind of second-half reinforcement for their rotation. That said, championship teams haven't had to trade for top-of-the-rotation starters. Instead, moves have been made to acquire the likes of Edwin Jackson, Joe Blanton, Jeff Weaver, Albie Lopez and Denny Neagle -- not exactly a list of future Hall of Famers.
That being the case, the sensibility of the Sox' emphasis on depth is apparent. Championship teams have viable alternatives when one of their season-opening starting options falter. The 2011 Red Sox, ultimately, did not.
The 2012 edition of the club, while short on dazzling names, hopes to correct that deficiency, whether with once-solid performers such as Vicente Padilla, Aaron Cook or Carlos Silva or even with an almost-forgotten reinforcement such as Daisuke Matsuzaka, whose conditioning work to recover from Tommy John surgery is producing raves.
Will it work? Check back in October.
That said, if the Red Sox set their bar according to the construction of a championship-caliber rotation (rather than, say, trying to match the Yankees on a move-for-move basis), then the logic of the team's approach to this offseason becomes a bit clearer.
Here is a year-by-year look at the pitchers who made postseason starts for the last 17 World Series winners (with regular season ERA and ERA+ in parentheses):
2011 Cardinals
Chris Carpenter (3.45 ERA, 105 ERA+), Jaime Garcia (3.56 ERA, 102 ERA+, Kyle Lohse (3.39 ERA, 107 ERA+), Edwin Jackson (3.58 ERA, 102 ERA+)
Notable change: The Cardinals acquired Jackson, Octavio Dotel, Corey Patterson and Marc Rzepcynski from the Blue Jays at the trade deadline for Colby Rasmus, Trever Miller, Brian Tallet and P.J. Walters.
2010 Giants
Matt Cain (3.14 ERA, 124 ERA+), Tim Lincecum (3.43 ERA, 114 ERA+), Jonathan Sanchez (3.07 ERA, 127 ERA+), Madison Bumgarner (3.00 ERA, 131 ERA+)
Notable change: The Giants called up Bumgarner in late-June, resulting in their entirely homegrown championship rotation.
2009 Yankees (three-man rotation in postseason)
CC Sabathia (3.37 ERA, 137 ERA+), A.J. Burnett (4.04 ERA, 114 ERA+), Andy Pettitte (4.16 ERA, 111 ERA+)

Cole Hamels (3.09 ERA, 142 ERA+), Jamie Moyer (3.71 ERA, 118 ERA+), Joe Blanton (4.20 ERA, 105 ERA+), Brett Myers (4.55 ERA, 97 ERA+)

Chris Carpenter (3.09 ERA, 144 ERA+), Jeff Suppan (4.12 ERA, 108 ERA+), Jeff Weaver (5.18 ERA, 86 ERA+), Anthony Reyes (5.06 ERA, 88 ERA+)
Notable change: The Cardinals acquired Weaver in a July salary dump by the Angels in exchange for outfielder Terry Evans. The team also called up right-hander Reyes from the minors.
2005 White Sox
Jose Contreras (3.61 ERA, 125 ERA+), Mark Buehrle (3.12 ERA, 144 ERA+), Freddy Garcia (3.87 ERA, 116 ERA+), Jon Garland (3.50 ERA, 128 ERA+)
Notable change: None. All four of those starters made at least 32 starts.

2003 Marlins
Josh Beckett (3.04 ERA, 138 ERA+), Brad Penny (4.13 ERA, 102 ERA+), Dontrelle Willis (3.30 ERA, 127 ERA+), Mark Redman (3.59 ERA, 117 ERA+), Carl Pavano (4.30 ERA, 98 ERA+)
Notable change: Willis was called up in May, shortly after A.J. Burnett was lost for the year due to Tommy John surgery.
2002 Angels
Jarrod Washburn (3.15 ERA, 141 ERA+), Kevin Appier (3.92 ERA, 113 ERA+), Ramon Ortiz (3.77 ERA, 118 ERA+), John Lackey (3.66 ERA, 121 ERA+)
Notable change: Lackey made his big-league debut at the end of June and never left the rotation, finishing the year by starting (and winning) Game 7 of the World Series.
2001 Diamondbacks
Curt Schilling (2.98 ERA, 157 ERA+), Randy Johnson (2.49 ERA, 188 ERA+), Miguel Batista (3.36 ERA, 139 ERA+), Albie Lopez (4.00 ERA, 117 ERA+) Brian Anderson (5.20 ERA, 90 ERA+)
Notable changes: Acquired Lopez catcher Mike Difelice from the Devil Rays for Nick Bierbrodt and Jason Conti at the trade deadline. Batista shuttled between the rotation and bullpen all season.
2000 Yankees
Andy Pettitte (4.35 ERA, 111 ERA+), Roger Clemens (3.70 ERA, 131 ERA+), Orlando Hernandez (4.51 ERA, 107 ERA+), David Cone (6.91 ERA, 70 ERA+), Denny Neagle (5.81 ERA, 83 ERA+)

1997 Marlins
Kevin Brown (2.69 ERA, 150 ERA+), Livan Hernandez (3.18 ERA, 128 ERA+), Alex Fernandez (3.59 ERA, 113 ERA+), Al Leiter (4.34 ERA, 93 ERA+), Tony Saunders (4.61 ERA, 88 ERA+)

faith_elise_maceira 5m agoSuggested Alterations- Use Sliced chicken breasts, not whole. Milk for breading isn't really necessary We fried in olive oil, not butter. Spaghetti makes a great addition- it eats like a chicken parm/alfredo crossover.

Bentley offers health-care reform plan
Published: Sunday, November 8, 2009 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 8:52 p.m.
MONTGOMERY | Dr. Robert Bentley, a Republican gubernatorial candidate, presented a health-care reform plan for the state that he says would broaden access to insurance and lower costs.
Some of the provisions are more symbolic than practical, and Bentley has not calculated the cost of implementing his plan.
Bentley, a state legislator from Tuscaloosa and a retired dermatologist, says that if elected, he will push for insurance law changes, subsidized medical education for primary care doctors, and changes in tax law to allow state income tax deductions of medical insurance premiums to help small businesses and individuals buy affordable insurance.
The centerpiece of Bentleys plan is symbolic defiance of federal health insurance reform. Bentley wants a state constitutional amendment allowing Alabama to opt out of federal health mandates.
Were trying to get health coverage for the people of Alabama with the state of Alabama doing it rather than the federal government, Bentley said in an interview last week.
He said he plans in the 2010 legislative session that begins in two months to introduce a constitutional amendment asking voters to reject federal health insurance mandates sought by President Barack Obama.
Bentley said states have the right under the U.S. Constitution to regulate themselves. In conservative Alabama, if he can get an amendment out of the Democrat-led Legislature, an amendment rejecting Washington might pass.
This constitutional amendment just basically allows us to stand up and say we are going to exert our rights as a state, Bentley said.
The Legislature can approve many of Bentleys ideas without a constitutional amendment. But changing income tax laws that affect education taxes is easier said than done with the powerful teachers lobby fighting attempts to lessen the tax base.
Bentley said small businesses and individuals buying their own health insurance should be given tax deductions to offset the cost of premiums.
Bentley said he does not know by how much his various tax law proposals or his entire plan will cut state taxes, saying the Legislative Fiscal Office will have to estimate the cost.
Bentley is one of seven Republican candidates for governor in the June 2010 primary. Democrats have two candidates. The general election to succeed two-term Gov. Bob Riley, who is prohibited by law from seeking a third straight term, will be in November 2010.
The people of this state have made it clear to me that when it comes to government-run health care in Alabama, their answer is No, he said.
Bentley said his plan also includes being able to buy insurance across state lines, tort reform to reduce defensive medicine, establishing electronic medical records, and health savings accounts for state employees.
Bentley said that as a retired dermatologist, he is in a unique position to understand the medical and business sides of health care. He said hell push for law changes to protect Alabama from the unwarranted and unnecessary intrusion into our personal health-care choices.
He said he knows that any constitutional amendment rejecting federal medical mandates would be symbolic, but hes counting on Alabama becoming part of a nationwide movement to pressure Congress to resist mandates.
As governor, I will work with other conservative governors to encourage federal passage of provisions that would drive down prices by increasing competition while working within a capitalist framework, he said.
Many parts of Bentleys plan, including allowing Alabamians to purchase health insurance from other states, can be accomplished without a constitutional amendment. Alabama now has fewer than a dozen medical insurance providers, but only three sell to consumers. The others are Medicare providers.
The trade association that represents health providers in Alabama said its difficult for new insurance companies to get doctors and hospitals to become part of a provider network.
There are 10,000 or 12,000 physicians in Alabama, and its hard to get them to sign a contract, said Mike OMalley, executive director of the Alabama Association of Health Plans. If the right doctors dont get on the plan and hospitals wont take it ... youre not going to be able to sell it.
Bentley said the state can encourage new insurance companies.
If you can get insurance companies to come in and write insurance in Alabama, and if we have to do that with our tax system, we have to do that ... especially for companies that will write high deductible insurance polices that you can couple with health insurance savings accounts, he said.
OMalley said Alabama requires health insurers to provide more than three dozen benefits. The mandates dont cover large employers because theyre self-insured and also dont cover unions, Medicare or Medicaid. Indian tribes arent covered because theyre all regulated by federal law, OMalley said.
Small employers are sitting there saying, I would offer my employees a good hospital plan but its not affordable, OMalley said. If Robert Bentley wants to make an impact for a group, make it for that group.
Bentley said his proposals will create affordable insurance for small businesses and the self-employed.
His plan includes state income tax deductions, tort reform to cap non-economic damages at $250,000, reducing defensive medicine that adds costs, and getting Washington to pay Medicaid based on the percentage of recipients.
For example, if Alabama has 5 percent of the nations impoverished individuals, Alabama should receive 5 percent of the money, he said.
Medicaid is federal health coverage for the poor. Nearly 20 percent of Alabamas population was eligible for Medicaid in 2007, but states are required to pay a match to get federal Medicaid dollars.
The money ought to come in direct proportion of the indigent patients in Alabama, he said.
Other proposals include increasing Medicare payments to hospitals and primary care physicians, using tax incentives to encourage more companies to write health insurance, tax deductions for individuals paying their own premiums, and establishing health savings accounts much like pre-tax contributions to 401(k) plans.
He said health-care accounts coupled with high deductibles, especially for state employees and teachers, will instill self-
discipline in health-care use.
It decreases the over-
utilization of the health-care system, Bentley said. It makes you think about how your money is spent.
Bentley also said that 60 primary care scholarships of up to $40,000 a year should be reserved for primary care physicians. He wants 25 percent of Alabamas medical school positions reserved for students who want to practice family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, OB-GYN and general surgery.
We need to fix the things that are broken, but keep things that are good, Bentley said.

Too many soft towels just rub the water around but don't absorb it. These are soft and very absorbent. Really nice towels, and even better after a few washings.
These towels will make you feel like you are being pampered at a 5 star hotel. The best towel set I have found on O and I have been trying quite a few. Twice the price of the others, but it is worth it! This is truly a luxurious and thick towel.
I have now purchased three different towel sets from Overstock. I'm so pleased with all three sets. The thickness of this towel is VERY nice and soft. These towels are so much less in cost than towels I have purchased in department stores. The size is great on all pieces....not skimpy. Color was exactly as shown. VERY PLEASED. Will see how they hold up after a lot of washing!! I'm confident they will be great!!
Wow! I bought these for the guest towels, company is coming and my husband uses a bath sheet. Way too big and heavy for the parents :). I read the reviews and washed several times. Yes, there was fluff but it diminished with each wash. They're cotton. I also read the reviews that said they get softer with washing so I have been using them for myself until the company arrives! Only problem is, now I want some for myself! These are the thickest, most luxurious towel I have ever used. Previously, I liked Egyptian cotton, JC Penney, etc. No more, these are TOP NOTCH, thick and sturdy, absorbent and, hopefully, will get softer with each washing. Remember, you should not use fabric softener with towels so the softening process is just use/time. The price is right, too.
For the price I paid I expected perfection, Not! These towels have been washed over and over, still cannot be used, because of the never ending lint. I have ruined other sets , because I washed them together with these brand new Turkish towels, now they are ruined too. What a waste of money!!!! Sure I could return, but that would mean more time and money, no thanks!
Lovely thick towels - blue color is lovely. Have been washed several times with no pulls. Worth the money - I will order more
I read a lot of reviews before purchasing -- like any cotton anything, they do shrink a little. Concerned because of other reviews, I measured a laundered one against a non-laundered one... it shrank by about 1w x 3L. I've never had anything 100% cotton, including towels, not shrink, I just paid special attention to it because of the reviews, and I just don't see how it's a big deal. I also laundered them separately at first, and with other towels since. No more shedding than any new towel. What I DO notice is that they are quality and a perfect (for me) weight -- a substantial, luxury feel without being super heavy. Love the loop to hang on a back of the door hook. Just very luxurious feeling and not all that expensive, very pleased.
The quality is very good. Towels are absorbent and hold their shape. A nice feature of the towels is there is a "loop" to hang your towels on the door for quick drying. I was a little disappointed in the color - I thought they would have more pink tones, but they were defintely more tannish. However for the price and the quality I can live with towels that are not the perfect color. I would defintely recommend this product.
Finally! Some great Turkish cotton (100%) towels with a little better color selection. These are very well made (in Turkey) soft, substantial...better if they were 900GSM...bath towels that I've been trying to find. Yes, quite a little fuzz in the dryer screen first time, but in no way diminished the quality of the towel. Be sure to follow care directions. (I will post an update after using, washing a few times.) These towels are made the way all good quality towels should be made. Wrap yourself up and feel spoiled!
I was looking for a nice thick white towel, similar to a great hotel..These are thin, and not what I was looking for. I will be returning them.
I was really looking forward to these towels given the reviews and was disappointed by the quality. A few had pulls already and I didnt find these to be of the superior quality I was looking for. The loops are quite large and they dont look expensive. I sent them back for a refund. Still looking for a luxurious towel that knocks my socks off.
I just purchased these and after a first wash (there was a lot of lint, but no detectable problem) they are up in the bathroom. Soft, "thirsty", great to use. The Sunshine color is beautiful. Enjoy.
you won't be disappointed - go for it! very plush, sops the water of your body with ease.
The color was true to the picture. The towels did shed at first, but all towels do, if they are absorbent. The shedding was brief. They were not as thick as I had hoped, but the quality was good, the color what I wanted, and they have held up for a couple of years now. I still have a couple of towels from my wedding 40 years ago that work fine, by the way, but most towels I have purchased in the last 20 years don't hold up nearly that well. This set is looking like it might. I'll check back with you in 2026.
So soft and luxurious. The best towels I have ever come across. Worth every penny! I've actually bought 2 sets and plan on buying another set. Love the extra feature of the towel hook.
The towels are lovely! Thick, absorbent, and cozy. Wash very well. Highly recommend!
not quite as soft as I would have liked but the color was spot on showed.
Super soft and big. Perfect for a spa effect.
The color didn't match what I wanted. It encourages me to buy from the store.
I looked everywhere for yellow towels for my master bath. Overstock had this set at excellent price and quality. Thick thirsty towels that will work for years.

Evonik Industries' decision to locate a new nylon 12 resin plant in Singapore is featured in this week's Material Insights video. Officials with Evonik in Essen, Germany, said that the new plant is needed to handle increased demand from auto and other market. Its expected to open in 2014 with annual capacity of almost 45 million pounds. They added the firm's damaged feedstocks plant in Marl, Germany, should reopen later this year. A pair of deals involving Dow Chemical Co. also are featured in this weeks video. Midland, Mich.-based Dow recently sold its TP-brand plasticizer business to HallStar Co. of Chicago. Dow also has formed a joint venture with Turkish acrylic maker Akso to develop products for the carbon-fiber composites market. The video wraps up with looks at two more acquisitions. BASF has purchased Iowa-based polyurethane systems maker ITWC, including plants in Iowa and in California. And French polymer formulator Axson Group has bought epoxy technology firm Nanoledge from technology investor Telesystem of Montreal.

Barb has been a close family friend for Years. She dealt with my child support stuff with my parents and grandparents when i was 7-9 years old. I'm now 21, and she recently (November 2014) helped me keep custody of my daughter due to her father trying to take her. Wonderful wonderful person. I highly recommend her

Barbara Yockey is a wonderful person and a wonderful attorney. When a family member attacked the family trust and put me in a position where I could have lost everything Barbara reviewed my case and agreed to represent me. While the opposing attorney ranted and raved and acted like a circus clown Barbara stuck to the facts and acted like a true professional lawyer. In the end Barbara made the situation go away with a simple settlement. I cannot praise Barbara enough for the personal and professional care that I received throughout this horrible event in my life.
Posted by Jacque
Extremely patient woman with a firm hand who understands the law fully. She will represent you extremely well and has a firm hand. Not only does Miss Yockey have a firm hand, but she knows when and how to use it. The patients exhibited by Miss. Yockey during my lengthy case was extraordinary, and observed by the judge on several appearances. You will be well served to hire Barbara as your attorney, just make sure you follow her direction to the letter, you will be better off in the long run. I owe my life to Barbara and Frank for the heartfelt work they collectively did on my case. Without them I would be in a different place in my life. God Bles Them!

Barbara Yockey took over a case from another attorney (MJK, Jr., Clinton Twp.) who had left me open for a creditor lawsuit and never responded to the court or the creditor on my behalf (even though MJK, Jr. had taken my money). Mrs. Yockey was prompt, professional and literally saved my case. Without her intervention, I have no idea what would have happened to my case or to me. The issue was successfully resolved. I cannot thank her enough.

I have required the services of an Attorney several times throughout my business and personal life. I will say Barbara has been the most Superior experience I have had with an attorney.
She is extremely professional and knowledgable as well as compassionate and sincerely caring.
As her client she truely cares about you and you can feel it. She works diligently to ensure your case is handled efficiently and throughly.
Barbara handled my bankruptcy and some Friend of the Court issues for me. I was very pleased with the out come on both.
She always makes her self available, even staying late on a friday, due to my schedule.
Extremely prompt when it comes to returning your calls. Matter of fact my calls were usualy returned within the hour.
I would strongley recommend Barbara for your legal counsel. I am proud to have her as my attorney as I am my friend.

Barbara handled my case involving vacation property that I owned. I talked to the lender who was a private individual and held the land contract for me about returning the property to him. He was in agreement and we came to a mutual financial understanding. He had his Real Estate professional draw up the paperwork and had it sent to me. I had Barbara review the paperwork and she found numerous mistakes by the Real Estate professional. Barbara called the Real Estate professional as well as the land holder and produced the correct paperwork to make the transaction legal. Without Barbara's knowledge and detailed review of the paperwork the property transaction would not have been legal. Barbara thank you once again for your detail and expertise in handling this manner in a professional way.

Barb helped me out with a situation most attorneys wouldn't have touched- an issue with a drainage ditch- believe it or not. She waded into strange territory (no pun intended!) and saved me what would have been a fortune in fines and costs. I highly recommend Barb!!!

Some people think you can live with one pair of sheets. Those people have NEVER ACHIEVED ANYTHING.
Oh, sure, you can have a pair of favorite sheets, absolutely you can. And you can totally use them as much as you can. But what about that time at 4 in the morning when the dog gets sick? Won't you need extra sheets then? Or what about if you have kids, and they're visiting your bed, and there's a little accident. Do you want to wait to wash your single set? Or hey, what about this: pretend you've got someone who wants to stay over on two consecutive nights. How lucky for you! And do you REALLY want them finding out you've been using the same sheets night after night after night?
The sheet flow chart is easy. If you don't have sheets, you need sheets. If you do have sheets, you need extra sheets. If you have extra sheets, you need backup extra sheets.
Shop accordingly.

This application is a continuation-in-part of our application, U.S. Ser. No. 08/724,557, filed Sep. 30, 1996, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a process for extracting oil from solid particulate filter media. The process is especially useful for separating used rolling oil from porous filter media such as diatomaceous earth particles.
Metalworking lubricants are widely used in the aluminum industry for reducing the thickness of sheet metal in rolling mills. These lubricants are usually emulsions wherein a small quantity of oil is admixed with a larger volume of water. The lubricants lubricate an interface between the rolls and sheet metal, and they cool the metal as it passes between the rolls. After prolonged use, the oil in these systems becomes contaminated with finely divided metal particles, metal oxide particles, and other extraneous matter such as mill dirt. These contaminants decrease process efficiency, reduce the activity of the oil as a lubricant and eventually lead to smudging and other surface defects in the product.
When the lubricant is contaminated, its usefulness is reduced because of the difficulty of emulsification and because the metal contaminants and other suspended materials furnish a source of an undesired abrasive. Accordingly, it is desirable to remove solid contaminants from the lubricants so that they can be reused.
In both ferrous and non-ferrous metalworking operations, filtration systems are customarily established for reclaiming hydrocarbon oils from used lubricants. In these systems, the oil is separated from water and then the oil is filtered through a particulate filter medium. Some suitable filter media include calcined diatomaceous earth, sand and wood pulp. Diatomaceous earth is particularly preferred. The diatomaceous earth has an average particle size in the range of about 1-30 microns.
In the prior art, used diatomaceous earth has typically been discarded after being used to filter lubricant oils. However, the discarded diatomaceous earth poses a potential environmental hazard because of its residual oil content. Accordingly, there is a need for a process capable of reclaiming residual oil from used diatomaceous earth rather than discarding the oil together with the diatomaceous earth.
Lubricant compositions used in aluminum rolling mills generally contain mineral or synthetic oil together with various oil additives. The oil additives are generally organic compounds such as ethanolamines, carboxylic acids, alcohols and esters. One important advantage of the present invention is that our process will recover these additives together with the mineral or synthetic oil.
Another important advantage of the present invention is that our process avoids extracting the used filter medium with hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene, toluene, methanol and tetrahydrofuran. These solvents pose serious health, safety and environmental hazards and they dilute oil recovered from the process unless considerable energy is devoted to distilling them off.
A principal objective of the invention is to provide an efficient and economical process for extracting oil from oil-contaminated solid particulate filter media.
A related objective of the invention is to provide a process for extracting oil from oil-contaminated filter media wherein the process avoids using organic solvents such as benzene, toluene, methanol and tetrahydrofuran. Prior art processes relying upon such organic solvents inevitably release harmful pollutants into the environment and pose serious health hazards to persons inhaling or ingesting them.
Additional objectives and advantages of our invention will become readily apparent to persons skilled in the art from the following detailed description.
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a process for extracting oil from a mixture that includes oil, at least one oil additive, a solid particulate filter medium, and usually also some water. The process is especially useful for separating used rolling oil from diatomaceous earth particles. The mixture may also contain finely divided metal particles, metal oxide particles and other solid matter such as dirt.
Some oil additives that may be included in the mixture are carboxylic acids, alkanolamines, esters and alcohols. The carboxylic acids are C8 -C40 mono- or di-carboxylic acids. Oleic acid, isostearic acid and lauric acid are suitable monocarboxylic acids and dimerized linoleic acid is a suitable dicarboxylic acid. Some preferred alkanolamines are triethanolamine, diethanolamine and ethyldiisopropylamine. The esters may be C1 -C8 alkyl esters of C10 -C40 mono- or di-carboxylic acids. One suitable ester is ethyl laurate. The alcohols may be C10 -C40 alcohols and are preferably C10 -C20 alkyl alcohols. One example is lauryl alcohol.
Portions of the mixture are compressed in a pelletizer to form discrete pellets having an average sieve size of less than one inch, preferably about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Squeezing the mixture in the pelletizer removes some oil and water from the pellets.
The pellets are transferred to an extraction vessel where liquid or supercritical CO2 flows around them. The extraction vessel is preferably maintained at a temperature greater than about 20° C. and a pressure greater than about 3000 psi. More preferably, the temperature is greater than about 30° C. and the pressure is greater than about 4000 psi. Optimally, temperature in the extraction vessel is about 40° C. and pressure is about 4500 psi. At that temperature and pressure, CO2 is a supercritical fluid and the oil solubility in CO2 is about 1.65 wt. %. Accordingly, the volume of CO2 supplied to the extraction vessel must be at least about 30 times the volume of oil to be extracted from the pellets. More preferably, the volume of CO2 is about 50-100 times the oil volume.
The extraction step produces de-oiled diatomaceous earth pellets and a liquid solution containing CO2, oil and water. The solution is transferred through an expansion valve to an evaporator maintained at a lower pressure than the extraction vessel. The evaporation pressure is preferably greater than atmospheric pressure and less than about 1000 psi. The evaporator is heated to maintain a temperature of about 20°-60° C., preferably about 20°-40° C. and more preferably about 20°-30° C. A particularly preferred evaporator temperature is about 25° C. with a pressure of about 500-1000 psi.
In the evaporator, CO2 gas is liberated and removed. The residue is mostly oil and oil additives. The liberated CO2 gas is removed and then condensed, cooled and compressed to form liquid CO2. The liquid CO2 is preferably heated before it is recycled to the extraction vessel for extracting oil from diatomaceous earth pellets.
The sole FIGURE is a schematic illustration of the process of the present invention.
A particularly preferred extraction apparatus for carrying out the process of the present invention is shown in the FIGURE. The extraction apparatus 10 includes a pelletizer 12, two extractors or extraction vessels 14, 15, an evaporator 17, a condenser 19, a CO2 supply tank 21 and a CO2 pump 23.
A mixture 25 of diatomaceous earth, oil, water and various solid impurities is fed into the pelletizer 12 through a hopper 30. Solid impurities accumulate in the diatomaceous earth as it filters rolling oil used as a lubricant in mills for reducing the thickness of aluminum alloy sheet material. The solid impurities include finely divided metal particles, metal oxide particles and mill dirt.
The pelletizer 12 produces solid pellets 35 having an average sieve size of about 23/4 inch. Compressing the pellets 35 in the pelletizer 12 removes some oil and water 36 from them.
The pellets 35 are fed into am extraction vessel 14 where they are mixed with liquid or supercritical CO2. In the preferred embodiment shown, the extraction fluid is supercritical CO2 maintained at a temperature of about 40° C. and a pressure of about 4500 psi (31 MPa). Under those conditions, the solubility of oil in CO2 is about 1.65 wt. %. Accordingly, the volume of CO2 supplied to the vessel 14 is usually about 50-100 times the volume of oil to be extracted from the pellets.
The extraction vessels 14, 15 each have a volume of about 200 liters, and they are made from stainless steel to resist carbonic acid, which has a pH of about 3-5. The extractors 14, 15 are generally unjacketed and uninsulated under normal process temperatures of about 25-40° F.
The extractors 14, 15 are designed to have a two-hour cycle time. That is, each extractor will be emptied and refilled with diatomaceous earth pellets and CO2 in a two-hour period.
The extraction step produces de-oiled diatomaceous earth 38 which is either discarded or recycled after an appropriate chemical treatment to remove impurities. A liquid solution 39 containing CO2, oil and water is transferred through an expansion valve 40 to an evaporator 17. The evaporator 17 is heated by steam 42 to maintain a temperature of about 25° C. and a pressure of about 900 psi (6.2 MPa). The evaporator 17 yields CO2 gas 45 and a liquid residue 47 which is mostly oil together with some oil additives.
The CO2 gas may be vented or removed to a condenser 19 where it is liquefied and then sent to a CO2 supply tank 21 which is maintained at about 900 psi (6.2 MPa). A liquid CO2 storage tank 50 and a liquid CO2 pump 52 also send CO2 to the supply tank 21, as needed. The storage tank 50 is maintained at a pressure of about 300 psi (2.1 MPa).
Liquid CO2 from the supply tank 21 is recycled to the extraction vessels 14, 15 through a precooler 55, a liquid CO2 pump 23 and a preheater 60. The pump 23 and preheater 60, in combination, supply CO2 to the extractors 14, 15 at about 40° C. and 4500 psi (31 MPa).
We performed a test demonstrating the ability of our process to extract oil from diatomaceous earth. The feed material was 24.3 wt. % mineral oil, 23.8 wt. % water and 51.9 wt. % diatomaceous earth. The feed material was compressed into lumps or pellets having a diameter of approximately 1/2-3/4 inch.
A 3812 g load of the lumps was placed in an extractor having a 4.6 inch inside diameter. The packing depth was about 24 inches and bulk density was 0.69 g/cm3. The extractor was maintained at a temperature of about 25-26° C. and pressure of about 3000 psi (20.7 MPa). A 730 g/min. upward flow of CO2 was maintained through the lumps for 197 minutes. Analysis of the lumps for oil and water showed the following results.
______________________________________Analysis of Pellets for Oil and WaterMaterial Oil (wt. %) Water (wt. %)______________________________________Feed 24.3 23.8Bed, bottom 2.5 5.1Bed, middle 14.1 6.4Bed, top 18.7 13.0______________________________________
The total extract weight after evaporation of CO2 was 21.3% of the feed weight. About 1/8 by volume of the extract was water. The extraction rate remained constant during the run and corresponded to about 4.5-6.4 mg extract/g CO2. For the first 120 minutes, the extract was entirely oil. Toward the end of the run, the proportion of water in the extract gradually increased. The lumps were still wet with oil and water after the extraction, even at the bottom of the bed where oil and water contents were lowest.
Two examples of lubricant compositions that may be recovered from mixtures with solid particulate filter media are as follows:
______________________________________Lubricant Compositions Amount (wt. %)Ingredient No. 1 No. 2______________________________________Oil 77.5 56Fatty Acid 2.5 10Ester 18 30Soap 2 4______________________________________
One advantage of our invention is that the fatty acid and ester components of such compositions are recovered along with the oil. Accordingly, the recovered oil additives are recycled for reuse as rolling oil lubricants.
The invention has been described above in terms of some particularly preferred embodiments. Persons skilled in the art will understand that numerous changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the following claims.

Mark Levin says someone or some people are trying to intimidate him into silence and he believes it's in connection with a Republican campaign.
The intimidation has to do with Levin being recently engaged to a woman whose son happens to work in the Senate office of Ted Cruz.
But Levin says his fiancee's son can work anywhere he wants and for anyone he wants, whether it's Rubio, Paul, Cruz or whomever. Levin says it's not about the son.
In fact he pointed that he's endorsed several people running for president now in past elections, whether it was Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or Rand Paul.
Levin says he will not be intimidated and he's furious that someone thinks they can intimidate him with this nothing-burger.
Levin thinks he knows which campaign it is and when he finds out for sure, he says, he's going to expose them.
For the record, in the following segment Levin said he doesn't believe it's the Trump campaign.
