I am not a racist but I am a realist. I see things the way they are, not as I or other people would like to see them.
I am not PC and do not give a da*n what people say or think about me. Some people say that makes me less loveable.

You gotta love World Net Daily
Where else can Right Wing Wackos blame Obama for being too Conservative, Liberal, Fascist, Socialist, Libertarian, And of course, being responsible for everything everywhere that goes wrong at any time.
But here's one of my favorites:
World Net Daily: Obama Killed Everybody
In a column published today by World Net Daily, nutcase columnist Erik Rush accuses President Obama of orchestrating the murders of several gay men in Chicago, a nurse in Colorado, a Buzzfeed journalist, the White House dog trainer, Libyan ambassador Christopher Stevens, and of course, Andrew Breitbart.
Now that's entertainment !
#18460 Jul 17, 2013
Great translation.
But be careful.
You keep destroying the Right Wing Wacko bizarro rantings and they'll stop posting them - then what will we read for entertainment.
#18461 Jul 17, 2013
I don't really know, I just think that "who"(or whatever) and "Bored Monitor" make a very odd couple!
#18462 Jul 17, 2013
I completely misjudged you.
You are way more of a leeeeeeeeberal bleeding heart socialist commie than I could ever be.
I for one admit I never knew how distraught Right Wingers were over a black drug dealer shooting another black drug dealer in Detroit.
But dammit, I ain't going along with your desire to flood Detroit with federal dollars to improve schools, provide job training for youths, and drastically increase law enforcement in high crime areas.
No Sireee Bob.
So take your Libtard self and your God Obama and stop bitching about blacks killin blacks.
#18463 Jul 17, 2013
Sounds to me like Right Wing Wackos who claim Obama is a liberal union man better stop posting documentation that he's not.
Kind of makes RWWs appear even more foolish to make accusations that they themselves then demonstrate are false.
But, please don't stop... it's entertaining as all get out.
I know .... why don't Right Wing Wackos accuse Obama of being one of them leeeeeeberal vegetarian hippies and at the same time post a link showing him eating a hamburger and fries.
#18464 Jul 17, 2013
More fun !!
Watching Right Wing Wackos complain Obama is a leeeeeeberal and at the same time demonstrating he's a Right Wing anti-union corporate tool.
This is great.
Thanks for proving me right once again.
Glad you now admit that Obama is a Right Wing Bush, only with a brain.
#18465 Jul 17, 2013
Right Wing Wackos everywherte are saddened that their attempt to imprison Zimmerman was foiled by that liberal Florida jury.
More factual news.
Local prosecutors refused to indict and prosecute Zimmerman for shooting a black teenager.
Right Wing Wacko Republican governor Scott appointed special prosecutors to indict Zimmerman and try him for murder.
Right Wingers throughout America are in mourning today that Zimmerman isn't in prison for shooting Right Wing Wacko hero Martin in self-defense.
#18466 Jul 17, 2013
I wonder why that far right republican McCain is suckin up to the libs so hard? He's not fooling anybody, but maybe Reid. I think he needs to sit down somewhere. He is not helping in my opinion. What's your take on his about face on many keys issues? I do think his influence in stopping the "nuclear option" was a plus for him. I am just curious as to what his motive for doing so is. I think maybe he wants to have another go for president in 2016, if he can live that long. Ya think? I think he was fine soldier, but is horrible at being a politician.
#18467 Jul 17, 2013
Right Wing Wackos screw up everything they touch - the run away and hide - and more humorously - blame Obama.
Damn they are funny little folks.
Once again, Right Wing Wackos - having screwed the pooch, want to pretend:
- it never happened, or
- if it happened, they didn't do it, or
- if they did it Obama made them, or
- if they can't hide that it happened and they did it,
revert to
- just accuse black people somewhere of doing something wrong - nobody will remember the Right Wing Wacko screw up that cause all the problems in the first place.
Facts, facts, how we hate facts:
1. After investigating for 44 days, local law enforcement decided not to prosecute, concluding that Zimmerman had legitimate grounds for a justifiable homicide defense.
Even now, former prosecutor Christopher Darden says he never would have brought the Zimmerman case to court:âThere was a high burden of proof giving way to reasonable doubt.â
Then came a special prosecutor, Angela Corey,(who was appointed (by Right Wing Wacko Gov. Scott), to review the case.
In this way, the Zimmerman case came to resemble New Yorkâs racially charged Howard Beach case, in which the locals didnât prosecute until special prosecutor Charles Hynes stepped in. But the similarities end there.
Unlike Corey, Hynes empaneled a grand jury before pressing charges. Corey skipped that step ââa tremendous flaw,â according to defense attorney Arthur Aidala.âTypically you could say,âWell, the grand jury thought it was enough,ââ Aidala says.âHere it was not the case. The special prosecutor couldnât say that.â
Do Right Wing Wackos ever accept responsibility for any of their debacles?

You're right.
Zimmerman charged and prosecuted himself for murder.
Right Wing Wacko Republican Gov. Scott appointing a special prosecutor to prosecute Zimmerman after local prosecutors refused, had nothing to do with it.
The Zimmerman trial is not another example of Right Wingers refusing to accept responsibility for their debacles.
It's that damn Obama.
Obama drugged Right Wing Wacko Scott and forced him in a hypnotic state to appoint prosecutors to take Zimmerman to trial.
Yea that's it. It's Obama's fault.
Oh wait...
It's those leeeeeeeeberals fault.
Right Wing Wacko Scott appointed the special prosecutors because he was afraid of all of the leeeeeeeeeberals in Tallahassee - all 17 of them,(well 18 if you include Betty Lou when she visits her sister).
Oh wait...
It's those black folk in Massachusetts who don't vote in Florida cause Right Wing Wacko Scott was afraid they'd all move to Wauchula Florida and buy trailer homes and terrorize the rest of the retirees at the "Over 55" park.
No way we can admit the entire mess resulted from Right Wing Wacko Scott demanding Zimmerman be prosecuted and appointing his own prosecutors to do it when the locals refused.
Why, that would mean Right Wing Wackos might have to accept responsibility for the disasters between 2001 and 2009.
Hey, they were Obama's fault too - if they occurred, which they didn't.
#18470 Jul 17, 2013
Damn... Blacks and Right Wingers have something in common,(in addition to slurping up federal funds).
Right Wingers always support politicians who are sexual freaks, use hookers, or just like some "strange" on the side.
Remember Right Wing Wacko Senator Larry Craig, who serviced his constituents while kneeling on the floor of airport men's rooms, and brought us the humorous "wide-stance" excuse.
Right Wingers raced to his defense when it was suggested that men's room pervert ought not be a U.S. Senator and saved him from being forced to resign.
Remember Right Wing Wacko Senator David Vitter from the Great Red State of Louisiana, who hired hookers so frequently, for so much money, his name warranted an asterisk in the brothel madam's records.
Right Wing Wacko voters returned Vitter to office with gusto - hey - the hookers he hired were "hot". Good judgment in your hookers is always a plus !
Remember esteemed Right Wing Wacko Governor Mark Sanford, who secretly traveled to South America to bang his mistress while claiming he was hiking our own Appalachian Trail.
Right Wing Wacko voters came out in droves to successfully demonstrate getting a little strange when you're married is no big deal and send him to Congress.
Yep ... Right Wing Wackos love sexual perverts, hooker hiring men, and secret world travelers bent on adultery.
Surely they wouldn't be so hypocritical and nonsensical as to say Spitzer is a bad guy.
No way.

Just one more thing about ignorance, I believe that you stated(some time back) that the reason Romney was not elected was because he was a RINO- or not 'conservative' enough. Please, inform us which 'true conservative' you think would have beaten Obama in the past election? We all await with baited breath!

Again you amaze me. The whole point of my post was that the Zimmerman story was just a front to cover up the bad economy. You failed to look at the links I provided that describe how the economy is turning to the worse. You just ignore what you want, and just spout your some old BS. I am hoping that as a cop you didn't use the same tactics there, if so, many people were wrongly sent to prison.

This is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 733,734 filed Oct. 26, 1976 now abandoned and a continuation-in-part application of copending U.S. Ser. No. 643,444, filed Dec. 22, 1975 now abandoned.
The present invention is a formulation, which when incorporated in toothpastes containing a fluorine containing compound and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an insoluble alkali metal metaphosphate and calcium pyrophosphate that are held in unlined aluminum tubes, gives a paste which has acceptable pH values for efficacy of said flourine containing compound, acceptable texture, and a noncorrosive effect on the inside of the unlined aluminum tube in which it is held.
It has been recognized that toothpaste formulations which contain a polishing material which includes a major amount of an insoluble alkali metal metaphosphate cannot be placed in unlined aluminum tubes without corrosion problems being caused. One prior art attempt to overcome this problem is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,624,199 to J. Norfleet et al. which suggests using 0.5 to 5%, by weight, benzyl alcohol and 0.15 to 2%, by weight, zinc oxide in such toothpaste formulations. The zinc oxide is identified as being responsible for prevention of corrosion of the unlined aluminum tube containing such a toothpaste formulation, whereas the benzyl alcohol is merely identified as a desensitizing agent for tender areas and membranes in the oral cavity.
Although the use of zinc oxide alone in a toothpaste, wherein a desensitizing agent is not needed, will inhibit the corrosion of unlined aluminum tubes, it has been found that the desired pH values have been exceeded for efficacy of the fluoride compounds that may be contained therein.
It has been found that this problem can be solved by combining the zinc oxide with an effective amount of a selected type of acidic pH adjuster to both lower the pH of the paste to the desired range of from about 5.5 to 6.8, preferably 5.5-6.5, and to prevent hindrance of the anti-corrosion effect of the zinc oxide on the tube. Additional improvements in paste texture can be obtained by incorporating in the formulation an effective amount for such improvement of trimagnesium phosphate.
The formulation of the present invention contains zinc oxide, an acidic pH adjuster, which will be described in greater detail below, and, optionally, trimagnesium phosphate. These components can be preblended to form such a formulation or can be added individually to a dental cream when the other solid constituents are added. In either case, the amount of zinc oxide which is used must be effective to inhibit any appreciable corrosion of the unlined aluminum tube, the amount of the selected acidic pH adjuster must be effective to both maintain a pH in the toothpaste which is acceptable for any fluoride compound which is present therein and to not hinder the anti-corrosive action of the zinc oxide, and the amount of trimagnesium phosphate, if such is used, must be effective to bring about any desired improvement in texture. Generally the anti-corrosion formulation itself should consist essentially of from about 20% to about 87% by weight, zinc oxide, from about 13% to about 80% by weight of the acidic pH adjuster and from about 0% to about 7% by weight of trimagnesium phosphate. Preferred amounts are about 40- 67% zinc oxide, about 33%-60% pH adjuster and about 0%-5% trimagnesium phosphate.
The amount of the above preblended formulation, or individual components thereof, which is added to the toothpaste must, as described above, be sufficient to give acceptable pH values and texture and prevent corrosion of the unlined aluminum tube. Generally, the final content of zinc oxide in the paste containing the above-described components will be from about 0.05% to about 2.0%, preferably from about 0.1 to about 1.5%, the amount of acidic pH adjuster will be from about 0.05% to about 3.0%, preferably from about 0.2% to about 1.5%, and the amount of trimagnesium phosphate will be from about 0 to about 0.5%, preferably from about 0.07% to about 0.2%, by weight.
The acidic pH adjuster is selected from the group consisting of weak organic or inorganic acids, and the salts thereof which will form relatively insoluble aluminum compounds with the aluminum tube which contains the toothpaste. Phosphoric acid and its acid salts (sodium aluminum phosphate [1:3:8], magnesium dihydrogen phosphate, aluminum dihydrogen phosphate, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate) give the best long term results. Other acidic pH adjusters which can be used include boric acid, oxalic acid and tartaric acid.
The above-described anti-corrosion formulation is adapted to be used in a fluorine toothpaste containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an insoluble alkali metal metaphosphate and calcium pyrophosphate. The toothpaste formulations of this type are well known and contain a number of ingredients which will now be described in greater detail:
Polishing Agent: The water-insoluble polishing material of the toothpaste formulation of interest herein contains a major proportion (that is, from about 50 percent to 100 percent, by weight, of the polishing material) of an insoluble alkali metal metaphosphate or calcium pyrophosphate. The insoluble alkali metal metaphosphates which may be used are preferably the insoluble sodium and potassium salts of polymetaphosphoric acid. These materials are known in the art with the insoluble sodium metaphosphate being preferred. Such materials may be formed in any suitable manner, as illustrated by Thorpe's Dictionary of Applied Chemistry, Vol. 9 (4th ed.) pp. 510-511. The forms of insoluble sodium metaphosphate known as Madrell's salt and Kurrol's salt are further examples of suitable materials. These metaphosphate salts exhibit only limited solubility in water, and are commonly referred to as insoluble metaphosphates. There is commonly present a minor amount of soluble phosphate material as impurities, usually of the order of a few percent such as up to about 4% by weight. The insoluble alkali metal metaphosphate is typically employed in powder form of a size such that no more than about 1% of the material is larger than about 44 microns.
The polishing material may contain 100% of the insoluble alkali metal metaphosphate or calcium pyrophosphate or any of these agents in major amount in admixture with a minor amount of such other agents or polishing agents as dicalcium phosphate, tricalcium phosphate, calcium pyrophosphate, hydrated alumina, calcium carbonate, and the like.
The polishing material content of the dental cream can be varied, but will generally be from about 20 to about 75% by weight of the total composition.
Liquid Ingredients: In the dental cream formulation, liquids and solids are proportioned to form a creamy mass of desired consistency. In accordance with this invention, the creamy mass is packaged in a collapsible unlined aluminum tube.
In general, the liquids in the dental cream will comprise chiefly water, glycerine, aqueous solutions of sorbitol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol 400 and the like, including suitable mixtures thereof. It is advantageous to sometimes use a mixture of both water and a humectant, such as glycerine or sorbitol. The total liquid content will generally be from about 20 to about 75% by weight of the formulation. It is preferred to also use a binder or gelling agent in dental creams such as the natural and synthetic gums and gumlike materials, e.g., Irish moss, gum tragacanth, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and the like, usually in an amount up to about 10%, by weight, and preferably from about 0.2 to about 5%, by weight, of the formulation.
Surface Active Agents: Organic surface-active agents used in the toothpaste formuations of interest herein can be used to assist in achieving through and complete dispersion of the instant compositions and to make them more cosmetically acceptable. The organic surface active material may be anionic, nonionic, ampholytic, or cationic in nature, and it is preferred to employ as the surface active agent a detersive material which imparts to the composition detersive and foaming properties. Suitable materials are the water-soluble salts of higher fatty acid monoglyceride monosulfates, such as the sodium salt of the monsulfated monoglyceride of hydrogenated coconut oil fatty acids, the higher alkyl sulfates, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, the alkyl arylsulfonates, such as sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, the higher alkyl sulfoacetates, the higher fatty acid ester of 1,2 dihydroxy propane sulfonates, and the substantially saturated higher aliphatic acyl amides of lower aliphatic amino carboxylic acid compounds, such as those having 12 to 16 carbons in the fatty acid, alkyl or acyl radicals, and the like. Examples of the last-mentioned amides are N-lauroyl sarcosine, and the sodium, potassium, and ethanolamine salts of N-lauroyl, N-myristoyl or N-palmitoyl sarcosinates, which should be substantially free from soap or similar higher fatty acid material which tends to substantially reduce the effect of these compounds.
It is preferred to use from about 0.05 to 5% by weight of the foregoing surface-active materials in the instant dental cream.
Fluoride Compounds: The toothpaste compositions of interest herein also contain a fluorine-containing compound having a beneficial effect on the care and hygiene of the oral cavity, e.g., diminution of enamel solubility in acid and protection of the teeth against decay. Examples thereof include sodium fluoride, stannous fluoride, potassium fluoride, potassium stannous fluoride (SnF2 KF), sodium hexafluorozirconate, and sodium monfluorophosphate, which is preferred. These materials, which dissociate or release fluorine-containing ions in water, suitably may be present in an effective but nontoxic amount, usually within the range of about 0.01 to 1% by weight of the water soluble fluorine content thereof. It is necessary that the pH of the formulation be between about 5.5 and 6.8 when these compounds are used.
Flavoring Agents: Any suitable flavoring or sweetening sialagogue may be employed in formulating the dental cream of the instant invention. Examples of suitable examples of flavoring consituents include flavoring oils such as the oils of spearmint, peppermint, clove, wintergreen, sassafras, sage, eucalyptus, marjoram, cinnamon, lemon and orange, as well as sodium salicylate. Suitable sweetening agents include lactose, maltose, sorbitol, and saccharine. Suitably, the total amount of sialagogue may comprise from about 0.5 to about 6% or more of the dental cream of the instant invention.
Other ingredients: Various other materials may be incorporated in the dental creams of this invention. Examples thereof are coloring or whitening agents, preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate and the esters of the hydroxybenzoates, which are usually considered necessary from a commercial standpoint), silicones and other constituents such as desensitizing agents. These adjuvants can be incorporated in the instant compositions in conventional amounts and will not substantially adversely affect the properties and characteristics of the formulation formed thereby.
The following Examples illustrate certain preferred embodiments of the present invention.
This Example illustrates the formation of a toothpaste formulation containing the stabilizer formulation of the present invention.
A general procedure for forming the toothpaste includes the following steps:
1. Weigh the desired amounts of thickener, sweetening agent, preservative and sodium monofluorophosphate and premix said ingredients with a spatula;
2. Place a beaker on a ringstand and a mixer in said beaker. Add sorbitol and glycerine and mix them until they are uniform. The ingredients from Step 1 are then added slowly and are mixed. Water is added and mixing is continued; and
3. The beaker containing the mixture from step 2 is weighed and water is added if needed to bring the mixture to the requisite weight. The insoluble sodium metaphosphate is then added and anhydrous dicalcium phosphate, zinc oxide, boric acid, and trimagnesium phosphate are added and are mixed into the formulation with a spatula until a uniform consistency is noted. Detergent and flavor can then be mixed in until a uniform paste is obtained. The mixture is milled into a stainless steel beaker and the batch is deaerated. It is then transferred to filling equipment and is inserted into an unlined aluminum tube.
The above procedure was used to make the following formulation:
______________________________________Ingredient(s) % (by weight)______________________________________Insoluble sodium metaphosphate 40.25Water 19.39Sorbitol (70% by weight) 14.00Glycerine (95% by weight) 12.80Anhydrous dicalcium phosphate 5.00Misc. agents (Binder, Flavoring,Preservative, etc.) 4.20Sodium N-lauroyl sarcosinatedetergent 2.00Zinc Oxide 1.00Sodium monofluorophosphate 0.76Boric acid 0.50Trimagnesium Phosphate 0.10______________________________________
The formulation had a pH in the range of about 5.5 to 6.5 and had a smooth texture. When placed in an unlined aluminum tube for one week's storage at 50� C., the formulation caused no appreciable corrosion of said tube.
The general procedure used in Example 1 was utilized to form toothpaste formulations containing the following components:
______________________________________ (% by weight)Ingredients A B______________________________________Insoluble sodium metaphosphate 41.85 40.25Anhydrous dicalcium phosphate 5.00 5.00Sodium monofluorophosphate 0.76 0.76Sodium N-lauroyl sarcosinate 2.00 2.00Glycerine 12.80 12.80Sorbitol 14.00 14.00Misc. agents (binder, flavoring, preservative) 4.20 4.20Water 19.39 19.39Zinc oxide -- 1.00Boric acid -- 0.50Trimagnesium phosphate -- 0.10______________________________________
Formulation A, set forth above, corroded unlined aluminum tubes when placed therein whereas formulation B did not.
This example illustrates both corrosive (formulation A, below) as well as non-corrosive (formulation B, below) formulations using calcium pyrophosphate as the polishing agent. The same general mixing procedure of Example 1 was used and both formulations were placed in unlined aluminum tubes. The following ingredients were used:
______________________________________ (% by weight)Ingredients A B______________________________________Calcium pyrophosphate 45.00 43.40Glycerine (95%) 4.00 4.00Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (medium viscosity) 1.20 1.20Saccharin 0.20 0.20Sodium benzoate, U.S.P. 0.10 0.10Sorbitol (70%) 18.00 18.00Distilled water 23.00 23.00Flavoring 1.00 1.00Sodium lauryl sulfate (20%)in glycerine (80%) 7.50 7.50Zinc oxide -- 1.00Boric acid -- 0.50Trimagnesium phosphate -- 0.10______________________________________
This Example illustrates the effect of removing one or more of the components of the anti-corrosion formulation of the present invention. The table sets forth the various formulations (A-D) which are prepared:
______________________________________ (% by weight)Ingredient A B C D E______________________________________Insoluble sodium metaphosphate 41.85 40.85 40.35 40.25 39.75Anhydrous dicalcium phosphate 5.00 5.00 5.00 5.00 5.00Glycerine 12.80 12.80 12.80 12.80 12.80Sorbitol 14.00 14.00 14.00 14.00 14.00Sodium N-lauroyl sarcosinate 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 2.00Sodium monofluorophosphate 0.76 0.76 0.76 0.76 0.76Water 19.39 19.39 19.39 19.39 19.39Binder, preservatives,flavoring, etc. 4.20 4.20 4.20 4.20 4.20Zinc oxide -- 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00Boric acid -- -- 0.50 0.50 --Trimagnesium phosphate -- -- -- 0.10 0.10Sodium aluminumphosphate (138) -- -- -- -- 1.00______________________________________
Each of the toothpaste formulations set forth in the table were placed in resin coated aluminum tubes and unlined aluminum tubes, respectively. The paste pH and texture were noted. The tubes were examined after they had been stored for 7 days at 50� C. The following results were obtained:
______________________________________Formulation Paste pH Texture Tube______________________________________A 5.5-6.5 Acceptable Coated - Not corrodedA 5.5-6.5 Bubbly Unlined - CorrodedB 7.5-9.0 Acceptable Coated - Not corrodedB 7.5-9.0 Acceptable Unlined - Not corrodedC 5.5-6.5 Acceptable Coated - Not corrodedC 5.5-6.5 Acceptable Unlined - Not corrodedD 5.5-6.5 Acceptable Coated - Not corrodedD 5.5-6.5 Acceptable Unlined - Not corrodedE 5.5-6.5 Acceptable Coated - Not corrodedE 5.5-6.5 Acceptable Unlined - Not corroded______________________________________
Formulation A which did not contain any of the components of the claimed invention yielded a paste having an unacceptable, bubbly texture and produced corrosion in the unlined aluminum tube. Formulation B containing only zinc oxide avoided the problem of corrosion but gave a paste having a pH which is too high for the effectiveness of the fluorine compound contained in the toothpaste. Formulation D, containing trimagnesium phosphate, produced a slightly smoother, and more acceptable, paste texture than Formulation C, which was acceptable.
This Example illustrates the importance of utilizing, as acidic pH adjusters, compounds which forms insoluble compounds with aluminum. The formulation described in Example 1 was used during the tests. The Table sets forth the results:
______________________________________ ZnO/Cpd Amount of Weight Corrosion andCompound Ratio Other Observations______________________________________Sodium aluminumphosphate (1:3:8)1 1/1 No corrosion.Monomagnesium phosphate2 1/0.8 No corrosion.Monoaluminum phosphate3 1/0.75 No corrosion.Monoammonium phosphate4 1/1 No corrosion.Sodium acid pyrophosphate 1/1 Corrosion present.Boric acid5 1/0.5 No corrosion.Oxalic acid 1/0.6 No corrosion.Phosphoric acid6 1/1.2 No corrosion.Tartaric acid7 1/1 No corrosion.Citric acid 1/1.5 Corrosion present.Acetic acid 1/0.4 Corrosion present.______________________________________ Footnotes: 1 This adjuster is acceptably effective at a level of about 0.25 to about 1.5% by weight of the stabilizer formulation of zinc oxide/pH adjuster/(optionally) trimagnesium phosphate. A suitable product of this type is available under the trademark LEVAIR� from Stauffer Chemical Company, Specialty Chemical Division, Westport, Connecticut. Some slight development of a grainy texture was observed in some pastes containing this adjuster. 2 Also called magnesium dihydrogen phosphate. Its formula is Mg (H2 PO4)2. 3 Also called aluminum dihydrogen phosphate. Its formula is Al(H2 PO4)3. 4 Also called ammonium dihydrogen phosphate. Its formula is NH4 H2 PO4. 5 The pH values of pastes containing this additive tended to drift upward with time and during a one to eight month storage often was above the desired value. 6 Some offcolor and slight thickening of the paste was noted after one week storage at 50� C. when used with relatively low levels of zinc oxide, e.g., 0.5% Zn/0.25% H3 PO4. A 0.8% ZnO/0.5% H3 PO4 mixture kept the paste pH at 6.2 for twenty one months storage a room temperature without corrosion, offcolor, or thickening. 7 Paste aged at 50� C. for one month containing this additive showed significant thickening, whereas at room temperature the thickening was much less.
The salts and acids listed on the foregoing Table which produce corrosion in the unlined aluminum tube are those which do not form relatively insoluble aluminum compounds with the aluminum tube material in which the toothpaste formulation is packaged.
It has been found that when relatively high values of zinc oxide are used relative to the acidic pH adjuster, it is possible for the pH of the toothpaste formulation to drift upwardly upon prolonged storage due to the dynamic nature of the system. For example use of a 2:1 weight ratio of zinc oxide to boric acid (1%:0.5% by weight of the toothpaste formulation) gave a paste pH after one month's storage of 6.5 and after six months storage of 7.3. This can generally be overcome by using a lower relative amount of zinc oxide or a higher relative amount of the acidic pH adjuster. For example, equal weight amounts of zinc oxide and boric acid (0.8%:0.8% by weight based on the weight of the toothpaste) produced a pH of 6.3 after six months storage. It is well within the ability of a person of ordinary skill in the art to adjust the zinc oxide: pH adjuster ratio so as to obtain the desired pH values after desired storage times.
The foregoing is illustrative of certain preferred embodiments of the claimed invention and is not to be construed in a limiting sense. The scope of protection that is sought is set forth in the claims which follow.

Writer Charles Soule appears at Midtown Comics Downtown to sign copies of Marvel's Daredevil #8 and BOOM! Studios' Strange Attractors on at 7:00 PM on Thursday, June 9th!
Daredevil #8:
Losing a big case has landed A.D.A. Matt Murdock in night court for the foreseeable future, meaning less time to clean up the streets as Daredevil. Luckily Blindspot's around to pick up the slack. But the young hero might be in over his head when he stumbles upon a horrific crime scene, one that will terrify even The Man Without Fear.
Rated T+
Strange Attractors #1:
What's to Love: Writer Charles Soule (Daredevil, Civil War) crafted a mind-bending story about how chaos math kept New York City from collapsing under itself. Presented for the first time as a limited series, each oversized issue of Strange Attractors features 30 pages of content, including new, never-before-seen bonus story pages.
What It Is: Dr. Brownfield believes that a series of cataclysmic events are coming to New York City, and someone has to keep the city safe after he's gone. Enter Heller Wilson, a brilliant mathematics student, who discovers that his ailing, perhaps insane, mentor has been saving New York City from societal collapse by a series of 'adjustments,' a la the Butterfly Effect. But now, all signs point toward an impending disaster. Can Wilson take what little he's learned and save the city in time?

I have not seen anyone who was not accepted by others at this school. It' is highly diversified. There are many different ethnic back grounds and age ranges. From the teen just out of high school to the older people who are looking for a new career and more stability.
Student Body:
There is a lot of diversity in Charter College. There isn't any discrimination concerning religion, views on politics, etc. Having classes that are small are really nice because I makes it easier for everyone to get along.
Student Body:
The student body relates yet is diverse. Most of the students attend school looking for a way out of poverty. The others are from the military and are attending school because they are getting paid. There are some going just so they can continue receiving government aid. Only about 20% of the students are focused on making a better lives for themselves because THEY want to.

The Geneva Conventions can be dated back to the start of the movement in 1864, but the current version was signed on August 12, 1949, which means that today the Conventions turn sixty. They are the most widely accepted and followed of all international agreements. The United States played a historically significant role in helping to establish and strengthen these conventions. Yet under George W. Bush, the United States dealt a serious blow to the whole Geneva system by engaging in conduct that demonstrated only contempt for the Geneva rules.
In a comment piece in today's Guardian, I offer Barack Obama some suggestions on how he can get America back on the right side of the Geneva Conventions:
On the 60th anniversary of the rebirth of the Geneva conventions, there are some easy steps that President Obama could take to demonstrate that his administration takes its obligations under the conventions seriously. He could submit the two additional protocols to the Senate for ratification.
He could legalise his defence department's extraordinary detentions system. Or he could just give meaning to his repudiation of torture by ending force-feeding at Guantánamo and accepting that the ban on torture applies even in wartime. Any of these steps would at this point be more welcome than his wonderful – but increasingly unconvincing rhetoric. The Bush team dealt the Geneva conventions a grave wound. Healing that wound requires actions that give meaning to the Obama administration's words.
A law professor asks that I sketch out in more detail what I mean by "legalising his defence department's extraordinary detentions systems." That's a complex matter and my piece was not intended to offer a legal discussion, but here are the major points:
(1) The Authorization for the Use of Military Force, which covers the military operations in Afghanistan, includes implicit authority also for a detention system of some sort. This is essential for U.S. law purposes, but that is only the beginning of the story, because the detention regime must be independently grounded in international law and the law of the host nation.
(2) The law of armed conflict provides authority for the detention of persons who constitute an imminent threat to the safety or security of U.S. forces. However, it does not provide authority for indefinite detention, and particularly not in a setting which is not a conflict in the meaning of the Geneva Conventions.
(3) In the case of the operations in Afghanistan, for instance, legal authority would have four separate potential legs: U.S. legal authority, a Security Council resolution authorizing operations can confer a right for security detentions (as was the case with resolutions issued to cover multinational forces operations in Iraq); international law, which provides a set of minimum standards for operations (particularly Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights); but finally and most importantly, the detention operations must be reconciled to Afghanistani law. Detainees must have all the substantive and procedural rights that Afghanistani law gives them—including rights to be confronted with charges and to defend themselves before an appropriate tribunal.
(4) The authority of the United States to act and the reconciliation to Afghanistani law should be enshrined in an agreement between the United States and Afghanistan.
This sounds elaborate, but in fact the United States military have maintained detention facilities in foreign countries many times in the past, and usually on the basis of these arrangements, sometimes subsumed in a Status of Forces Agreement.
The debate on this issue has focused on some things that strike me as irrelevant or unnecessary. There is no need for special new Congressional legislation addressing the detention operations. Such legislation would only complicate the executive in his major responsibility—namely, concluding an agreement with the host nation. Also, I do not see a particular role for the U.S. Constitution, including the habeas corpus process and due process. They do act as limitations on what the U.S. military can do in certain circumstances, of course, and they reflect basic values that the U.S. should seek to uphold. But it would be absurd to take them as affirmative standards for a detention operation in Afghanistan—in fact that might even be seen as the projection of U.S. law on to the soil of a foreign country, which could be viewed from an international law perspective as inappropriate.

From the April 2015 issue
In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

Nobody likes stinky sock drawers or smelly closets. With these Bottega Veneta Scented Sachets ($70 each), you don't ever have to worry about either. Just place one of these into your drawers, luggage, or anywhere else you want to smell like wood and iris, and kiss foul smells goodbye. Bottega fans (present) will appreciate the brand's trademark latticed Intrecciato leather.
Around The Web
I'm sorry... $800 for a pair of Louboutins that deliver comfort and style... $600 for a Coach handbag that's been handstitched and evenly distributes the weight of all the crap I carry... $700 for a Badgley Mischka dress that is a knockout! Yes... But $70 for one little leather pillow of something scented that is going to lay in my underwear drawer? I think not!!!!! Anyway, I toss my dryer sheets in my sock and underwear drawers when I unload them from the laundry. I'm getting a little sick of what these companies think we'll pay for useless crap!
I agree, WAY overpriced. I recently saw some pretty ones selling for $1-$2 at Yves Rocher, they're like a little pillow tied up with ribbon, so cute. (Not that I would even buy those for myself on my meager college budget...but very nice stocking stuffers! :P)
$70 for something that will hold stinky socks?!!!you know you can always get some Tide and wash the stinky socks trust me it will cost much less
I guess it's a cute idea? But who would pay $70 for something so unnecessary as scented woven leather sachets? No thanks...
i'd rather just put a fabric softener sheets in my dresser drawers and you can buy much cheaper satchels for the closet.
$70 a satchel is ridiculous even for people that have money. I would rather make my own or buy something much less expensive.
What's with the ridiculous, expensive stuff lately?
dyer sheets like Bounce also work well for this...
Too $$$$
I have a cheaper way--I put little soaps and the scented perfume ads (the little cards that you open) in my drawers. My mom always does that and I think it works nicely.

To investigate the influence of alterations of the scala tympani environment and modifications of the surface of cochlear implant electrode arrays on insertion forces in vitro.
Study Design:
Research experimental study.
Fibroblasts producing neurotrophic factors were cultivated on the surface of Nucleus 24 Contour Advance electrodes. Forces were recorded by an Instron 5542 Force Measurement System as three modified arrays were inserted into an artificial scala tympani model filled with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The recorded forces were compared to control groups including three unmodified electrodes inserted into a model filled with PBS (unmodified environment) or Healon (current practice). Fluorescence microscopy was used before and after the insertions to identify any remaining fibroblasts. Additionally, three Contour Advance electrodes were inserted into an artificial model, filled with alginate/barium chloride solution at different concentrations, while insertion forces were recorded.
Modification of the scala tympani environment with 50% to 75% alginate gel resulted in a significant decrease in the insertion forces. The fibroblast-coated arrays also led to decreased forces comparable to those recorded with Healon. Fluorescence microscopy revealed fully cell-covered arrays before and partially covered arrays after the insertion; the fibroblasts on the arrays' modiolar surface remained intact.
Modifications of the scala tympani's environment with 50% to 75% alginate/barium chloride and of the cochlear implant electrode surface with neurotrophic factor–producing fibroblasts drastically reduce the insertion forces. As both modifications may serve future intracochlear therapies, it is expected that these might additionally reduce possible insertion trauma.

For my automated acceptance tests, I want inserts to start with id=1. I achieved this on one PC (XP 32bit, mysql 5.1.something) with (after deleting all rows from the table), "alter table tableName auto_increment = 0".
I'm now setting up a new PC (Windows 7 64bit, mysql 5.1.42), and this command seems to have no effect. I can see in the information_schema.tables table that the auto_increment value is not changed back to 0 --- it just keeps going up. If I try to change the value in that table directly, I'm told that access is denied to 'root'@'localhost'. Does this perhaps give a hint to my problem?
Other stackoverflow people had suggested that "truncate from tableName" is a good alternative. I'm happy to report that this works. But does anyone know why the "alter table" command won't reset the auto_increment?
