With a history going back through six centuries, the viola has been composed for by history's greatest musical minds and earned a permanent place in the symphony orchestra. It's a crucial instrument in countless compositions, and it's fair to say that strings are as important to the viola's sound as the viola itself is to the sound of the symphony. There's no other single upgrade you can make that will affect the tone as much as changing your viola strings, and since they're in contact with the bow the whole time you're playing, they're also going to show some wear over time. Considering those two facts, there are lots of reasons to change your strings - from customization to simple maintenance. Historically, viola strings were made from animal gut, but modern materials have given us some more reliable (and humane) alternatives. They've also added more variety, which you can see in strings like the D'Addario Prelude Series Viola String Set. Based on a solid steel core, these strings are designed with a nod toward students and amateur players. They don't stretch or contract with temperature and humidity the way gut strings do, and they last much longer, so you'll get a lot more use out of them between changes. If you're playing at an advanced level, you might prefer to pick your strings one-by-one instead of buying a full set. This gives you a ton of control over your sound across the scale, and there are plenty of single-string options here to choose from. Take the Pirastro Aricore Series Viola C String for instance: its synthetic material has a darker timbre and warmer sound than a steel string. Another great example would be the Pirastro Evah Pirazzi Series Viola A String, which produces a complex tone with responsiveness that can really bring out the heart and soul of your instrument and playing style. No matter how long you've been playing viola or what sort of violist you happen to be, the right set of strings - or individual strings - will be waiting for you somewhere in this section. All you have to do is find them! Start by deciding what core material is the best fit for your needs and go from there; as long as you take your time and make an informed choice, you can look forward to results that might even make you fall in love with the viola all over again.

Rosenbaum [5 7] ABSTRACT A water-soluble, thermoplastic compound especially suitable for hygienic and medical applications, such as for use as an insertion aid coating for tampons and as the matrix structure for suppositories. The compound is composed of a thermoplastic, film-forming watersoluble polymer and a compatible plasticizer for the polymer. The preferred polymer is hydroxypropyl cellulose. The preferred plasticizer is an olefinic glycol of predetermined molecular weight. One example of a preferred plasticizer is polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of less than about 1,500. Another example of a preferred plasticizer is propylene glycol and polymers thereof below a molecular weight of about 750. These compounds are thermoplastic and may be cast, thermoformed, hot melt dip coated, or transfer molded.
4 Claims, No Drawings COATED TAMPON RELATED APPLICATIONS US. Pat. application Ser. No. 127,818 filed on even date herewith is now US. Pat. No. 3,672,056.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the hygienic and medical field there is a need for a water-soluble compound which at ambient temperatures is in the form of a tough but soft and flexible solid, or in the form of a flexible film. The solid and film forms should both have the ability to dissolve readily upon contact with body fluids. The solidified compound preferably should also have a surface which provides reduced frictional resistance under shear, especially when in rubbing contact with body surfaces. A further required major characteristic is that the compound be stable at room temperatures, i.e., from about 68 to 75F, up to at least 150F and higher.
One area of activity in which there is a special need for a water-soluble compound with a friction-reducing surface is as an insertion-aid coating suitable for application to at least the tip portion of compressed absorbent tampons. Another potentially useful area is in the suppository field where such compounds may act as both the structural or matrix portion of a suppository and as the vehicle or carrier for medicaments. There are other potential uses for the type of compound which meets the above defined characteristics, but the following description will relate principally to the utilization of such a compound in the tampon and suppository field.
DISCUSSION OF THE PRIOR ART Prior to this invention, insertion-aid coatings for tampons consisted primarily of two types. In one type the entire coating, or a major portion thereof, was comprised of a lubricant such as liquid petrolatum, emulsified mineral oil, soft waxes or the like. While these coatings functioned well as lubricants, they were detrimental to the absorptive capabilities of the tampon and relatively unstable at elevated temperatures, such as 150F, which are commonly encountered under routine handling and shipping conditions.
As the art developed a second type of insertion-aid coating was introduced. In this second type, the coating was changed to one which was fluid-soluble and preferably had a surface which was smooth when dry and slippery when wet. A long list of such coatings may be found in US. Pat. Nos. 2,340,311 of Feb. 1, 1.944 and 2,440,141 of Apr. 20, 1948. In the type coatings defined in these latter two patents, insertion ease depends primarily upon a reduced coefficient of friction obtained by having a surface with the properties of smoothness when dry and slipperiness when wet. In accordance with those teachings, the coatings had no real lubricating effect until the surface was moistened. Many of these coatings also deteriorate at the high temperatures encountered under normal shipping and storing conditions, giving them poor aging characteristics.
Efforts to obtain a lubricating effect by utilizing internal mobility of the coating itself prompted the more recent introduction of various combinations of polyethylene glycols for such use, in combination with various other materials. Assignees copending US. application Ser. No. 807,490 filed Mar. 17, 1969 and now US. Pat. No. 3,595,236, describes coatings of this nature. In essence the coatings described in this application are mixtures of at least'two polyethylene glycols, each of a different molecular weight, plus powdered starch or similar fillers. These coatings as initially applied to tampons have a smooth velvety appearance and are not tacky or sticky to the touch. When these coatings are applied to the tampon by dipping, spraying or the like, they do not immediately penetrate into the tampon body or cause it to re-expand; and this is a desirable feature, especially for highly-compressed, selfsustaining tampon bodies which must retain their compressed state during processing. In their prime condition the interior portion of these coatings remain sufficiently mobile to provide some slip by a shearing action which reduces friction and aids insertion. However it has been found that as the coatings age, and are subjected to the usual high temperatures which occur during shipping and storage, fluid portions migrate into the tampon body and the resulting crystallization of remaining higher molecular weight polyethylene glycols eventually causes the coatings to discolor, crack, and to dry out to a pont where they no longer can perform their intended function.
In reviewing the prior art directed to suppositories, it will be found that most suppositories now being marketed have a base of cocoa butter, hydrogenated fats or similar natural and synthetic fatty substances which have a melting point approximately that of normal body temperature. Another common type of suppository comprises soft gelatin capsules which contain an oleaginous fluid plus analgesics or medicaments. Both types rapidly liquefy or release fluids shortly after being inserted in the body. This liquefaction often results in a gushing discharge of fluid from the body orifice, which, of course, is highly undesirable. Many types of suppositories must be kept under refrigeration to prevent premature melting. In addition, suppositories having a water-soluble base have limited stability and lose water in storage with resultant gross changes in shape and aesthetics. In certain types of suppositories, thin protective coatings, which may also contain medicaments or the like are sometimes used to reduce premature melting. In any event, the reliance on body heat for liquefaction and distribution of medicaments is at best an undesirable condition, so that when suppositories in general are used, special care must be taken to prevent the liquefied substance from inadvertently running out and soiling clothing or bed linens. This problem is so severe as to limit the usage of some suppositories to situations which require the body to be in a supine or prone position when applied, in order to maintain the active fluid ingredients within the body cavity.
The compound of this invention overcomes the respective disadvantages for known tampon coatings and suppository structures mentioned above. The compound comprises a thermoplastic water soluble filmforming polymer which by itself has little or no lubricity. This polymer is blended with, or dissolved in, a compatible organic plasticizer. When the polymer is processed as described in this invention, the resulting compound has what may be called a shear dependent lubricity, i.e., when the surface is frictionally engaged or rubbed as during the insertion into a body cavity, surface shear liberates fresh areas of the polymerplasticizer matrix, which in turn shear away and uncover still more surface area as the friction continues. Another way to define shear-dependent lubricity is that as force is applied to the compound in a plane tangent to the surface there is a displacement of the contacted surface portion from its immediately adjacent interior portion. 7
Since the compound is water-soluble, continuous contact with aqueous body fluids dissolves the coating away completely when it is used as a thin tampon coating. Similarly, when it is used as the matrix of a suppository, the compound has its surface gradually eroded away by body fluids, which makes it suitable for longterm treatments. In other words, such controlled erosion will continually release fresh medicaments as intended for relief of the condition being treated, whether these medicaments are water-soluble and dissolved in the polymer plasticizer matrix or waterinsoluble and dispersed therein.
Accordingly, it is the principal object of this invention to provide an improved compound for hygienic and medical use.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a heat stable water-soluble friction-reducing coating as an insertion-aid and/or a medicament vehicle for absorbent tampons.
Another object is to provide a heat stable water soluble compound suitable for use as the matrix for immediate or deferred action suppositories, providing a vehicle for medicaments as well as being the main suppository structure.
Other advantages will become apparent by reference to the following summary and detailed description.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The compound of this invention is comprised of a thermoplastic, film-forming, water-soluble polymer in blend with a compatible organic plasticizer of predetermined molecular weight.
A preferred thermoplastic polymer is hydroxypropyl cellulose (hereinafter sometimes referred to as HPC). Preferred plasticizers include polyethylene glycols (hereinafter sometimes referred to as PEG) of a molecular weight which is further defined hereinafter, and propylene glycols and polymers thereof (hereinafter sometimes referred to as PPG) of a molecular weight which is also further defined hereinafter.
In order to avoid unnecessary repetition and for the sake of brevity in the following description, the aboveidentified letter abbreviations will frequently be used to identify the polymers and plasticizers used in the specific examples. The numbers following the letter abbreviations will serve to identify the approximate molecular weight. For example, PEG 400 will mean polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of about 400. HPC 75,000 will identify hydroxypropyl cellulose with an average molecular weight of about 75,000. Whenever reference is made to molecular weight it is also understood that this indicates average molecular weight as it is-commonly used in the art.
DETAlLED DESCRIPTION The following discussion will be useful in providing additional background as well as identifying suitable molecular weights for the plasticizers and polymers employed.
Hercules, incorporated, a supplier of hydroxypropyl cellulose, under the registered trademark KLUCEL, indicate on page 8 of their 1968 technical brochure which is further identified by the number 879-32327,
that high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and high molecular weight polypropylene glycols are compatible with hydroxypropyl cellulose at elevated temperatures. However, it has been found that those polyethylene glycols and polypropylene glycols which the art classifies as high molecular weight polymers are not compatible. For example, hydroxypropyl cellulose in the lower commercially available molecular weight range (about 75 ,000) is totally insoluble in the polyethylene glycols and the polypropylene glycols rated as high molecular weight polymers.
An examination of the molecular weights used commercially such as are identified on page 6 of Union Carbides 1970 brochure entitled Chemicals and Plastics Physical Properties (F-6I36X, 11/69 M), finds that the high molecular weight polyethylene glycols start at about 1,500. It has been found that PEG with a molecular weight of 1,500 is completely incompatible with HPC 75,000 at both ambient and elevated temperatures. Compatibility was found to begin somewhere between a PEG molecular weight of 1,000 and 1,500.
Page 12 of the same Union Carbide brochure cited above discloses high molecular weight polypropylene glycols begin at about 1,007.
A similar observation may be made by reference to page 3 of Dows technical brochure Form No. l 11-430-69 on polypropylene glycols.
It has also been found that PPG with a molecular weight of 1,000 is completely incompatible with HPC 75 ,000 at ambient and elevated temperatures. Compat ibility for PPG was found to begin somewhere between molecular weights of over 85 and under 1,000.
In preparing the various versions of the compound, the plasticizer is first heated to a temperature of about 285F under continuous agitation in an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen. Then the thermoplastic watersoluble polymer (hydroxypropylcellulose or HPC) is added and while maintaining the mixture under continuous agitation the temperature is raised sufficiently high to obtain a smooth blend or solution. The blended mixture is then cooled to about 265F at which point suitable medicaments may be added, if desired. The temperature of medicament addition may be lower depending upon its thermal stability and the nature of the forming operation.
The coating may now be applied to tampons by dipping the tampon tips in the warm compound and allowing the coating to set. Suppositories may be made from the compound by casting, by thermoforming, or by transfer molding procedures.
In accordance with this invention, and as indicated above, compounds having the aforementioned characteristics may be formed by using hydroxypropyl cellulose as the thermoplastic film-forming water-soluble polymer and selected polyethylene glycols or selected polypropylene glycols as the compatible plasticizing polymer. The use of PEG will first be described.
In working up to the development of a suitable compound, many tests were made of various combinations of HPC and PEG before a suitable compound was achieved. In combining these two chemicals, it was determined that while a number of low molecular weight PEGs are useful, certain intermediate weight PEGs are preferred.
The following are some examples of this development work, and in addition to the preferred embodiments include several unsuccessful and/or useful but less desirable combinations.
EXAMPLE 1 120 grams of PEG 200 (a colorless liquid having a molecular weight of about 200) were heated under a nitrogen atmosphere and constant stirring to a temperature of about 285F.
85 grams of HPC 75,000 (a white powder) were added and thoroughly mixed into the heated PEG 200 while the' temperature was raised to about 320F. A clear very viscous solution was obtained. The mixture was coated on the end of a tampon by dipping the tampon tip in the heated solution. The resulting coating was sticky, runny and generally unstable, never taking a good set. Accordingly, this example was adjudged completely unsatisfactory for tampon or suppository use.
EXAMPLE 2 120 grams of PEG 200 were heated under a nitrogen atmosphere and under constant stirring to a temperature of about 285F. 30 grams of HPC 275,000 (a white powder) were added with continued stirring at 300F. The solution became clear and very thick. Tampons dipped at 300F were very sticky and smeary thus making them completely unacceptable for use as a tampon coating.
EXAMPLE 3 This is identical to Example 2 except that 20 grams of HPC 900,000 was substituted for HPC 275,000. A very thick solution was obtained. It was generally too thick to stir and impractical to use.
EXAMPLE 4 120 grams of PEG 400 (also a colorless liquid and having a molecular weight of about 400) were heated under a nitrogen atmosphere and under constant stirring to a temperature of about 285F. 300 grams of HPC 75,000 (a white powder) were added and thoroughly mixed in the heated PEG 400 while the temperature was raised to about 320F and a clear solution achieved. The mixture was coated on the end of a tampon by dipping the tampon tip into the heated solution. The coating was quite stringy and sticky when the dipped tampon was withdrawn. The cooled and set coating was clear and transparent and very tacky, While this coating exhibited shear-dependent lubricity, it was considered marginal for tampon coating or suppository use because of its extremely tacky nature.
EXAMPLE 5 This was prepared as in Example 4 but 40 grams of HPC 75,000 were used. The cooled and set coating on the tampon was slightly less tacky than that of Example 4 and had a somewhat rubbery feel. This coating was considered marginal for tampon use. That is, while its resistance to insertion was somewhat less than for an uncoated tampon, the tackiness exhibited detracts from its desirability.
EXAMPLE 6 This was the same as Example 4 but employed 50 grams of HPC 75,000. The set coating had only a slight tack and a very rubbery feel. This coating was also in the marginal area, but was adjudged as somewhat better than Example 5 because of the reduction in tackiness.
EXAMPLE 7 This was the same as Example 4 but contained 60 grams of HPC 75,000. The set coating was barely tacky and very rubbery. It was considered quite satisfactory and an improvement over Example 6.
EXAMPLE 7A grams of PEG 400 were heated to about 285F as in Example 4. 30 grams of HPC 275,000 (a white powder) were added and thoroughly mixed while the temperature was raised sufficiently to achieve a clear solution. When applied to a tampon the coating of this example was water clear and rubbery without tack. It exhibited excellent shear-dependent lubricity properties.
EXAMPLE 8 120 grams of PEG 600 (a colorless oily liquid having a molecular weight of about 600) were mixed with 30 grams of HPC 75,000 under the same conditions as in Example 1. The mixture was allowed to cool to 280F before dipping tampons therein. As the tampon was withdrawn, the coating appeared stringy and sticky. However, after cooling and setting, the outer surface of the set coating was not tacky, but quite rubbery. Rubbing the surface of the coating with the finger appeared to provide some surface shear with the result that fresh fluid glycols were liberated or exposed on the surface at the rubbed areas. This phenomenon can be described as a shear-dependent lubricity. Because of the sliding effect thus provided, this coating was considered to be quite satisfactory for use as a tampon coating, and for suppositories. In addition, it was found that the coating remained stable when coated on a tampon, or cast as a suppository, even when exposed to temperatures of at least F for extended periods. Because of this latter characteristic the coating was considered superior to known shear-dependent coatings.
EXAMPLES 9- 10 These were similar to Example 8 except that in Example 9, 40 grams of HPC 75,000 were used and in Example lO, 50 grams of HPC 75,000 were used. The unset coating in each case was sticky and stringy, but the set coating was found to be non-tacky and very rubbery. Again, when rubbed with the finger, the abovedescribed sliding effect and shear-dependent lubricity was observed. These two examples were also in the preferred range for tampon coatings and suppositories for the reasons set forth for Example 8.
EXAMPLE 1 1 This procedure was identical to Example 8 except that 20 grams HPC 900,000 were used, instead of 30 grams of HPC 75,000. The mixture at 300F was very thick and 90 grams of PEG 600 had to be added with continuous mixing to enable dip coating a stick tampon. The resultant coating was water white and rubbery and gave a slight indication of shear generated lubricity. Thus the coating would only be marginally satisfactory for coating tampons, but would be satisfactory for use as a suppository matrix.
EXAMPLE l2 120 grams of PEG 1000 (an opaque, waxy solid with a molecular weight of about 1000) were heated under nitrogen atmosphere to a temperature of about 300F which was sufficiently high to melt the solid to a liquid state. 40 grams of HPC 75,000 were added to the hot PEG 1000 under constant stirring to obtain a smooth blend. A tampon was dipped into this mixture to coat the end. When set the coatingwas relatively hard and smooth. lt exhibited shear-dependent lubricity when rubbed and was judged as suitable for coating tampons and the like, although it was considered not as good as coatings containing the intermediate weight PEG 600.
EXAMPLE 13 120 grams of PEG 1500 (a waxy solid with a molecular weight of about 1500) were heated to a temperature of 325F under nitrogen atmosphere and constant stirring. 30 grams of HPC 75,000 were added. The mixture remained granular and did not dissolve completely. The resulting compound was considered unsatisfactory for tampon coatings or suppository use.
EXAMPLE 14 120 grams of PEG 4000 (a waxy solid with a molecular weight of about 4000) was heated as in Example 13. When 30 grams of HPC 75,000 were added, the mixture remained granular as in Example 13 and was completely unsatisfactory for the proposed use.
EXAMPLE 15 120 grams of propylene glycol (a liquid with a molecular weight of about 85) was heated to 225F in the usual manner and 60 grams of HPC 75,000 added. The latter quickly dissolved. The coating was runny, tacky, and generally unstable as in Example 1 and therefore totally unsuited for the proposed use.
EXAMPLE 16 120 grams of polypropylene glycol with a molecular weight of about 400 (a clear oily liquid) were heated to a temperature of 290F and 40 grams of HPC 75,000 mixed thoroughly therein. A tampon was coated with the compound by dipping. The set coating was transparent, rubbery and slightly tacky, and still produced the desired sliding effect with the finger rubbing test.
EXAMPLE 17 120 grams of PPG 750 (a clear oily liquid with a molecular weight of 750) were heated to a temperature of 300F under a nitrogen atmosphere and constant stirring. 10 grams of HPC 75,000 were added. The mixture remained granular and the HPC would not dissolve. It was therefore unacceptable for use.
EXAMPLE 18 120 grams of PPG 1000 (a clear oily liquid with a molecular weight of about 1000) were heated to a temperature of about 300F under a nitrogen atmosphere and continuous stirring. 50 grams of HPC 75,000 were added. The mixture remained granular and the HPC would not dissolve. This was also completely unacceptable for use.
EXAMPLE 1 9 120 grams of PPG 2000 (a clear oily liquid with a molecular weight of about 2000) was substituted for the PPG 1000 in Example 18. The results were similar to Examples 17 and 18 and the compound was unsatisfactory for use.
In general the examples described above show that lower molecular weight glycol plasticizers are more efficient than the higher weight materials in plasticizing HPC. Consequently to obtain a coating or suppository that will maintain sufficient body and integrity, it is necessary to use a higher weight fraction of the thermoplastic polymer in the compound as molecular weight of the plasticizer is reduced. it becomes evident that integrity will also be improved if the same amount of a higher molecular weight thermoplastic polymer is used to replace the HPC 75,000 as employed in all the above examples. Similarly when a lower molecular weight HPC is used a much higher weight fraction of the lower weight HPC would be required with the same amount of plasticizer as was used with the higher molecular weight HPC to obtain comparable hardness or integrity.
The examples also demonstrate that plasticizer efficiency with a given molecular weight HPC decreases with increasing molecular weight of the plasticizer. It can therefore be concluded that for HPC 75,000 the glycol which gives the preferred degree of sheargenerated surface lubricity is an intermediate molecular weight glycol plasticizer. Similarly when a higher molecular weight HPC is employed, a lower molecular weight glycol plasticizer should be used to provide the preferred shear-generated lubricity.
In addition the examples clearly show that high molecular weight PEG, i.e., 1,500 and above, and high molecular weight PPG, i.e., 750 and above, are incompatible with HPC 75,000 and therefore unsatisfactory as plasticizers.
When an HPC of lower molecular weight than 75,000 was used it too was found incompatible with the high molecular weight PEG and PPG. It follows that higher molecular weight HPC would also be incompatible with these higher molecular weight plasticizers. I
From the above examples, and by interpolation, it can be derived that PEGs with a molecular weight somewhat above 200 and somewhat below 1500 when mixed with HPC of a suitable molecular weight will provide compounds with the desired shear dependent lubricity. The same reasoning can apply to the propylene glycols, i.e., PPGs with a molecular weight above and somewhat below 750 are suitable for use.
While the described compounds are suitable for use without additives for coating tampons and fabricating suppositories, it is evident that a large number of compatible medicaments may be readily employed. This is especially true with respect to suppositories. The gradual solvation characteristic of the compound in suppository form when exposed to body fluids provides a means for applying long-lasting controlled-release medication to areas selected for treatment.

Skip to comments.FYI: Beware of Automatic Payroll Deposits
Posted on 06/14/2005 8:43:07 AM PDT by The Ghost of FReepers Past
Have you signed up with your employer for an automatic payroll deposit? Then be warned. The employer has access to your bank account for 5 days after the deposit is made. Technically, the employer can only debit your account to reverse an error. BUT IN REALITY, he can debit your account for the full amount of your check for any reason he chooses. Revenge. Coercion. Whatever. Your bank won't care; it's not their problem. His bank won't care, or they may fake it and just not call you back. The ACH people won't care. Mid-America Payment Exchange won't care (it's not their problem -- "contact your employer").
Do NOT sign up for this unless you really trust your employer. And then I still wouldn't sign up for it unless they cannot debit your account for ANY reason. If they make an error, they should have to get your authorization FIRST! Don't repeat my mistake.
I'd rather get paid in gold ingots, but they didn't like that suggestion when I made it.
LOL! I'm serious about this. It sounds great and is convenient, but DO NOT agree to let them correct mistakes without your authorization. You are essentially giving them access to your account for the full amount of the deposit.
If your employer pays you with a check, he can stop payment on it for any reason he chooses, too.
So, I guess I'm missing your point.
What if you work for the bank like I do?
My mother has her SS check automatically depostied. They won't correct errors. They tell her about the error and she must refund it herself. They have no authorization to make debits. That's what you should arrange with your employer. Give them NO RIGHT to make debits so they can't take the money back just because you won't sign a non-compete or something.
What was the mistake on yours? and if you dont mind my asking, about how much were you screwed out of?
He can stop payment on a check, yes. But can he go to your bank after the check has cleared and take it back out of your account? That is what I am talking about.
one time, i went to take a few thou out of the bank, and they asked "and how would you like that?"
"in pennies".
you shoulda seen the look on her face.
(I finally gave in and took $100s) =P
For me,
It was one of two choices,
a. Auto-deposit.
b. Routinely look my purse and find my payroll check fom 10 days earlier that I had forgotten to deposit. AFTER I'd written and mailed my bills.
It's a no-brainer for folks like me!
That's exactly what happens if he stops payment on a paper check after you've deposited it in your account. As long as he stops payment before it clears HIS account, you lose, just like the ACH process you're talking about. One is electronic; the other is paper.
This person was told to sign a non-compete agreement or he would not get paid. He signed, but another employee didn't. The employee that didn't sign was told he had two choices: resign or be fired. That was a Thursday. Friday was a payday and the employer decided to just take back his pay of approx $1,500. It was money earned the two weeks prior to the pay week. The employee then met with the employer the following monday and signed a resignation letter. THEN AND ONLY THEN did the employer give the money back.
Okay. I'm just warning you that you need to check what you signed. Be sure that your employer has NO RIGHT to debit your account for any reason whatsoever. Then you should be safe.
Nope. An auto deposit starts out by clearing his account. It goes to his bank FIRST, then to yours. The funds are immediately available to you because they have already cleared his bank.
That also applies in this case:
BUT IN REALITY, (your wife) can debit your account for the full amount of your check for any reason (she) chooses.
ACH payroll transactions are different. They orignate with the signer and clear his bank BEFORE they get to the payee's bank.
Go ahead and give your employer the right to debit your account if you want. It's your risk. I'm just warning you.
LOL! Yes, but only if you agreed to a joint account. You probably do not want to have a joint account with your employer.
Nobody is going to agree to this, so if you can't live with that, you're pretty much going to have to do without direct deposit.
SSA agrees to it. The same rule should apply for employers. The rule should be changed. If a mistake was made they should have to get authorization from the account holder first.
Yes, of course. But, if he were to pay you with a paper check, he has the benefit of having the float time in which to discover and correct (via the stop payment) any mistake he may have made. Do you think employers want to just give up that benefit? Probably not. Therefore, the ACH provides this mechanism to keep them from losing that benefit.
Now, I also recall hearing a few months ago that, since paper checks are now processed electronically, there was some talk of eliminating the paper float; the check would clear the check writer's account when the issuing bank received electronic notification rather than waiting for the paper check to arrive. If that were to happen -- maybe it already did, I don't know -- this 5 days of float would seem to give direct-deposit employers a huge benefit that paper-check-writing employers no longer enjoy.
Hell, everybody has access to my account. I have direct deposit but I've worked there for 27 years so I **sort of** trust them.
I'm just trying to determine whether the risk is any different with direct deposit than with a check.
Of course, if you really want to eliminate the risk, insist on being paid in cash or, as another FReeper suggested, in gold.
The law probably requires them to do so. Meanwhile, in the non-governmental real world, nobody is going to agree to direct deposit if an accidental extra zero on your paycheck means they have to sue you to recover it.
I've been having my salary direct-deposited with a variety of banks and employers for almost twenty years now, and not once have I had a problem where they had to go and recover money from me. You got hit by lightning, basically - it happens, and I'm sorry it happened to you, but let's not get maudlin.
I would also not have a problem if someone was interested in holding employers to the rules. But they shouldn't be allowed to just snatch your money for any manipulative or vengeful reason they choose. The ACH rules are clear that they do not have that right. But try and get someone to care.
Yes, the rules are supposed to cover only those sorts of situations -- the extra zero, the duplicate, etc. My warning is that in reality, the employer can just take the money for whatever reason he chooses. The employer is protected by exposing the employee to risk. That's not fair, imo. There should be REAL punishment to an employer who breaks the rules.
What's the real difference between that and your employer simply choosing to not pay you at all? As a practical matter, he can decide to not pay you anything this week for whatever reason he chooses, but if it's something stupid, he's probably going to answer for it later.
Let's say I work in payroll and I decide to debit my employer's account a few days early for my pay and just not tell him about it. Would you have a problem with that? Would I have committed a crime?
So if your employer told you that you must sign a non-compete or you would not receive your already earned pay, you would be fine with that? Or if he got mad at you and decided to debit your account on payday for the full amount of your paycheck, you would be fine with that? What if he then held the money until you signed something else he wanted you to sign? No problem? That's just the way payroll works?
Okay, if that situation is either relevant or analogous, I'm missing it.
Wasn't it your intent to imply that there's a risk with direct deposit that isn't present with the old-fashioned paper check?
I've had automatic direct deposit with all but one employer in my life, without incident. However, regarding the one employer who paid by check, I have had a paycheck returned for insufficient funds.
My point is two-fold. There is a risk with direct deposit. That risk is, you give your employer access to your account for 5 days after payday. I would like access to his account 5 days prior to payday then. It is the same thing. I can't take his money without his consent and he shouldn't be able to take mine. I understand about correcting errors, but in reality, that's just a cover. He can take the money if he WANTS to take the money. Period! The rules are worthless if the employer isn't punished for breaking them. I would be punished if I accessed his account, even if I had limited, authorized access to his account, if my access was in violation of the payroll terms.
Yeah. But Banks go after people who write hot checks. There is justice for that in the end.
Dunno, I've used direct deposit for over 30 years and never had a problem. I had to correct payments on two occassions, when I got paid for deployments after I had returned (I initiated action in both cases) and both times they just took it out of the next paycheck.
If I were concerned about my employer possibly debiting my account, I could simply electronically transfer my entire paycheck to a different account. With online banking, I could even set this up to be automated.
I'm not too worried... I'm more valuable to my employer than they are to me (even though they won't admit it).
It's not that simple - you're assuming that you're entitled to the money in the first place. If your employer disputes that, they can refuse to pay and put the burden on you to prove otherwise.
So if your employer told you that you must sign a non-compete or you would not receive your already earned pay, you would be fine with that?
Never had it happen. Never seen it happen.
Or if he got mad at you and decided to debit your account on payday for the full amount of your paycheck, you would be fine with that?
Never had it happen. Never seen it happen.
What if he then held the money until you signed something else he wanted you to sign?
Depends on what it is, I guess. Never had it happen to me, nor seen it happen to someone else.
Sounds like your employer wasn't a very nice person. Looks to me like you should have contacted a lawyer to take advantage of the laws that already exist, rather than wasting your time agitating for a law that's specially designed for the oddball edge cases. Sorry this all happened to you, but there's plenty of law out there to help you already.
Actually, justice may be served in the end. I think the person can file a complaint about a rules violation and they have to process it. Laws were broken here. I hope it works out.
So dangling it over the employees' head just to get their way. That's messed up man.
Actually, perhaps the banks and the ACH people are the wrong folks to call. Perhaps the District Attorney and the police department are better sources.
But for what it's worth, in all my years in banking, I never ever saw this happen.
If someone steals your ATM card and starts using it, you want justice. If someone steals your checkbook and starts forging checks, you want justice. If an employer takes your pay right out of your checking account -- unauthorized -- you are fine with that?
""If your employer pays you with a check, he can stop payment on it for any reason he chooses, too.""
Hmmmmm......In Florida it is illegal for an employer to put a stop on an employees check.
What state are you in?
You must have some type of comprehension problem. No one is saying it's "fine" to have an employer "take back" a direct deposited paycheck or to hold it "hostage" to coerce an employee to sign something.
Direct deposit is not the culprit here, it is the employer. Both things you describe sound to be actionable at least under civil, if not criminal law.
Of course not. I never said any such thing.
All I said was that I never saw anything like that happen. I simply do not think it is a common occurrence.
I have seen many people who had gotten paid with a hot check, though. And there is absolutely no recourse for them, short of suing the employer.
Driving is great until you have a wreck.
This is much more likely to happen and be much more significant, so should we quit driving too?
If it is in fact legal for an employer to reverse a direct deposit and illegal for him to stop payment on a paper paycheck -- nevermind that "for any reason he chooses" garbage -- it would seem legislators have some catching up to do.
No, it isn't. He can only take back the money he put into your account. If you were to start putting direct deposits into his account, you'd probably have "access to his account" for 5 days hence, too. And, to the extent either of you steals what rightfully belongs to the other, the legal system awaits.
{sigh} Your original post said, "Do NOT sign up for this unless you really trust your employer."
So, let's say I don't "really trust" my employer. Should I feel better if I'm paid with a paper check?

Why in the world are you roaches over excited is beyond any understanding. FAZ is only up 14 cents today. Yes, fourteen. Do you really think this time is different?
STFU FAZ to da moon
That is funny, most of us are swing traders that are just looking to make a buck on the market. We aren't here to call people roaches and threaten to spit on them.
We are here to share news and information and try to make informed decisions on our trades.
I wish you well, but would appreciate it if we could eliminate the name calling and focus on what matters.
We call roaches the fazzets praying for wars and defaults 24/7 only to make a penny.
Couldn't agree more play ball. The other point to be made is if the poster really cares about the market they would want the drop. It's very unhealthy and unstable for the market to go straight up. This can be seen in the tvix as volatility sky rocketed today as fear begins to creep into investors minds. I bought faz calls today as I think this is the start of something bigger to come. Greece is now bring pressured to prove they can backup the bailout. It was already priced into the market that Greece would not default that's why the market didn't care. Now if they can't prove it that could be the catalyst that really makes it turn.
sounds good playball....I try to keep finding and highlighting positive input..... I used to trade equities with a good retail trader board long time ago and oddly FAZ YB has brought a good contingent too ....everybody has good ideas to add to the pot...

Gamepro is gone. Members of the gaming press recently confirmed the announcement on the Gamepro.com website. 1UP alumni Justin Haywald and Kat Bailey are no longer employed there. I hope all of us can provide them some support in a difficult time.
The closing of Gamepro caps a year that has been really rough on the gaming press. Agencies including 1UP have merged, closed or consolidated, and many of the industry's former copywriters and editors are now freelancers. The crowded freelancer market in turn makes it hard for anybody writing about games to make a living doing so.
Friends and neighbors, what are your thoughts on the situation? Do you have any details to share on why Gamepro shut down? Do you know who else is out on the street? Do you have any insight on the contraction of the gameing press? Share news and opinions here!

Welcome to another week of creative wonder. What's on your agenda? What are you creating this week? While you are gearing up to make great things this week, here's a free desktop wallpaper and a new LAB print. Need a music to get you in the making mood? Try this week's 8Tracks mix. Let us know what you are working on in the comments below.
I check Kickstarter from time to time, looking for great handmade projects to promote and somehow I missed these fresh and innovative bags from Intrepid.
Nellianna van den Baard and Kenneth Veenenbos must really love origami. How else can you explain their incredible shop of light fixtures? Noticing that the energy-saving light bulbs that have become popular in Europe lack warmth, this talented architect and industrial designer decided to do something about it. By designing these colorful light fixtures, their aim is to bring warmth and joy to the spaces they inhabit.
Kristina Krogh is a Copenhagen-based graphic designer with a love for texture. What you're looking at here are posters based on her original artwork. Each piece showcases her unique collages, composed from relatively inexpensive materials like paper, cork and marble.
As you can imagine, I keep a running list of shops and artists to feature. There are so many great talents out there, If I didn't attempt to be organized about posting to the LAB, I'd be even more of a mess than I am. There are times though, when I find a shop and it's so outstanding that I just have to push it to the top of the list. That's what happened when I stumbled upon Hruskaa. Man do I love this shop!
Jamie Iacoli and Brian McAllister really like to make very pretty things. They've been featured all over the place and now they are on the LAB. That means they've really arrived, right?
It's totally unfair that we all can't be as talented as Mark Griffith. Besides having one of my favorite blogs of all time, Mark also is the mastermind behind the Etsy shop with the best name ever: Yumalum.
I will first admit that I'm a little obsessed with the handmade pencils from Inkkit. Aren't they amazing? OK, so who out there is like me and has wondered how in the world do you get the lead in there? I've always wanted to know. One day, I'll discover the secret, but until then I'll just salivate over these.
The first post I did about Yuan Xu's amazing cards is one of my most read posts of all time. I thought it high time that I revisited Yuan's unique and adorable card collection, also known as Lemon Drop Papers.
Seeing that it's summer, it's the perfect time to try to seek inspiration away from the computer. Few things brings people together like food. Making it and sharing it together s a source of joy for many. What better way to celebrate the power of the plate than with these fun posters from the Whimsey & Spice maven herself, Jenna Park. Not only are these great for conversation, but they are designed supremely.
Coco Lapine is the handiwork of Berlin-based, Belguim-born Sarah Van Peteghem, an interior designer with a love for the monochromatic. For those of you who adore the simplicity of black & white, you will love this modest shop. Take a peak at all the handmade goodness.
What a fitting name for a shop! Kate Waggoner's art really does Jump Off The Page. Also, you know you're singing the B-52's right now, aren't you? I love this print! With her refreshing palette and great designs, there has to be at least one print in the Jump Off The Page shop that works for your space. I've also included a couple of Kate's way-cool wood art pieces. OK, so when you're finished roaming around the world, be sure to click on any image to see all of Kate's great art.

Skip to comments.NV sheriff, BLM: Bundy must be held accountable
Posted on 07/05/2014 7:38:26 PM PDT by sockmonkey
RENO, Nev. (AP) Bureau of Land Management officials say they agree with a Nevada sheriff's position that rancher Cliven Bundy must be held accountable for his role in an April standoff between his armed supporters and the federal agency.
(Excerpt) Read more at lasvegassun.com ...
Rustler Reid and his hired hand (BLM head and former Reid staffer) Neil Kornze must be held accountable for pure chicanery.
I'll be there!
When will the Federal Govt..... "be held accountable"??????
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
"Only ours ain't writ by no tin star, bought and paid for, Marshal. It's writ by us, and we aim to enforce it."
Reid wants his solar farm. Patriots, roll out!
"When will the Federal Govt..... be held accountable??????"
Soon, much sooner than many think.
>>When will the Federal Govt..... be held accountable?<<
No f'n shitte. Tawk about lawless, it is the executive branch of the feral gubbamint.
Medal of Freedom Award?
The Clark County Sheriff does not seem to be in a big hurry to confront Bundy and his supporters. I wonder why?
Do it again Patriots if need be
For what? Defending his property from an out of control government?
Sure, hold him every bit as accountable as Lois Lerner for the IRS scandal and Hollary Clinton for Benghazi. Are we done yet?
From the article...Bundy crossed the line when he allowed states' rights supporters, including self-proclaimed militia members, onto his property to aim guns at police....
The BLM is "working diligently to ensure that those who broke the law are held accountable."
I think this "State's Rights Supporters" is being reiterated to give pause to those who would dare to stand up against the current invasion by Illegal Immigrants, sponsored by our Government.
The war has begun. It is evident that the Government no longer responds to the will of the people and communism is here. And may be to stay. Americans the time is near.
I assume this is just the same Sheriff who was in cahoots with Reid and the BLM at the time of the standoff.
Bureau of Land Management officials
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
Harry Reid and his cipher of a son conspire with the BLM to procure land for a corrupt deal with a sworn enemy of the United States and one man has the courage to say no... CRUCIFY HIM! Yes, let's get this in court ASAP. Depositions all around!
Maybe the BLM will make Bundy a Professor of Literature at some over rated East Coast Ivory Tower, and then put him on the cover (smiling) of Time and other vacuous rags. Yeah, that'll teach him!
They were shooting his cattle. Are they frustrated because they didn't get to shoot the Bundys?
Leave the guy alone, feebs! He's just trying to raise cattle, and on desert land, and we need beef.
Oddly, in Clark County, the "Sheriff" is in charge of both the County and Las Vegas (i.e. "Metro"). He is a Rustler Reid minion/puppet.
PS We could use a lot more ranchers raising beeves and a lot less federal hired hands with itchy trigger fingers.
Yah, Bundy's seemingly racist veiws in no way excuse Fedzilla's unconstitutal rampage on his ranch
(If they can do that to him, they can do it to anyone .)
But imagine if the feds put 1/1000th of the effort they make in oppressing and harrassing American citizens, (so that multi-millionaires and Marxists in the Govt. can further their interests), imagine if they instead dedicated themselves to protecting Americans from those who would destroy us (I.e. terrorists, crimminals, gang members...exc.) ?
HaPPy 4th!!
Will he be afforded a fair trial with a jury of his peers?
Is he so much fodder in a federal bureaucracy of rampant regulations that would make a sane man ask Why even bother anymore? Pretending that the powers that be have a clue.. or could care less about lands that go for waste.
All of a sudden a four eyed tortoise with a speech impediment appears speaking a weak french dialect.. and sanity retreats.
I seriesly doubt desert tortoises are any more native than ranchers or earlier foragers in the grand scheme of things
The best way to hold him accountable would be to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. As soon as we get a president back into the White House.
no surprise here. we all knew that the next round was to
be expected
Research videos of Nye County, Nev. Sheriff, Anthony L. De Meo, for comparison.
That is a 2008 pic of Eric Holder, Harry Reid, and Sheriff Gillespie touring the Counter Terrorism Fusion Center in Las Vegas..
But in all seriousness-Has anything else been uncovered about Reid and sons possible business deal connection, with trying to force Bundy off his property?
What happened at court?
Does anyone believe this government is NOT acting solely for the purpose of enriching its members and increasing its control over citizens?
Like the old TV show "Lineup," where the cops always made the statement to those viewing the lineup by saying: "pay no attention to their answers as they often lie." This would apply, with a few notable exceptions to all big county sheriffs, including Doug Gilespie.
Our chains are being forged.
Whatever one or all believe, there is no way to effectively make & have stick the accusation that Reid et al are trying to snake the guy's land away. Not without a piece of documentation that says "I bet we can use the BLM to force him off his land and leave the door open for us to go solar". Such a doc obviously does not exist. This is the way the game is skewed: There can be lots and lots of defects in the case when "the case" has no distinct proof of nefarious intent but all the time is claiming "law and order".
It's all about the proof that is obtainable versus the presumption that the govt is always right. *With* that presumption, the govt can bankrupt Bundy 50 times over without breaking a sweat.
It is with a strange feeling that those of us who come from the Soviet Union look upon the West of today. It is as though we were neither neighbours on the same planet, nor contemporaries -and yet we contemplate the West from what will be your future, or look back seventy years, to see our past suddenly repeating itself.
And what we see is always the same, always the same as it was then: adults deferring to the opinion of their children; the younger generation carried away by shallow worthless ideas; professors scared of being unfashionable; journalists refusing to take responsibility for the words they squander so profusely; universal sympathy for revolutionary extremists; people with serious objections unable or unwilling to voice them; the majority passively obsessed by a feeling of doom; feeble governments; societies whose defensive reactions have become paralyzed; spiritual confusion leading to political upheaval.
What will happen as a result of all this lies ahead of us. But the time is near, and from bitter memory we can easily predict what these events will be.Excerpt from "West's Betrayal of Civilization" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The federal government needs to be held accountable.
We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In America at the present moment, in terms of real involved legitimate productive Americans, maybe four in ten are leftist Obama types. Six in ten would rather government stay out of a LOT of stuff, such as schools, health care, regulation, welfare -- six in ten value freedom from government tyranny. In the MSM, however, 9.5 in 10 are liberals. And in elections, systemic vote manipulation and ginning on the left cheats to put the minority in office where they wield tyrannical power of government.
Awareness of the real situation: The media and vote fraud has us all bamboozled into thinking in terms of "idiots who elected these clowns." More like ghosts, frauds, fakes, ginned, harvested, who elected these clowns. They have to cheat because they're the minority. THAT is the awareness of the real situation that right now eludes the right.
Reid wants his solar farm. Patriots, roll out!
Bump again.
Was he the sheriff in charge of the area where the Costco shooting took place, where officers shot down a concealed-carry veteran in front of the store?
horse crap,
Time to hold federal employees accountable starting with the head turd in charge, obammy.
If they go after those who helped Bundy, it will be to get a reading on the mood of the People. If successful, we are doomed. If they get stopped again, it won't be long before the masses are given a choice - submit or win CWII.
Thanks for the post and ping back to a great thread.
ABSOLUTELY economic, political, psychological, social, philosophical, educational and electronic chains are already upon us.
Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim when he defends himself as a criminal. - Bastiat
I swear they are pushing every button they can to get 'someone' or 'anyone' to snap so that they can get CWII underway.
If it isn't the influx of illegals, or the EPA overreach on everything they can touch, the inflaming of the left of the 'Hobby-Lobby' decision then it's whatever else they can come up with.
The time of the 'death of a thousand paper cuts' is just about over, I think they are going for the machetes this time.
Frankly if the Feds really want to get CWII started today, then they should just quit funding the EBT cards. That will do it in a heartbeat, or at least in three days when the recipients get really hungry.
I once went to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's website and watched videos about the history of law enforcement in the city and county.
To make a long story short, in the 1970's law enforcement was consolidated into the LVMPD.
Before that, there was a Las Vegas Police Department for the city and the Clark County Sheriff's Department covering the county outside the city limits.
I'm not a big fan of police and or government consolidation and that's what they did in LV and Clark County some 40 years ago.
CWII Spark — The peasants cannot be allowed to defy the nobility with impunity!
You're probably right, all it will take is one governor to throw a monkey wrench into the immigration works — for examlpe, could you imagine what would happen politically if NM's governor used the authority granted by the State's constitution in the matter?
Art V, Sec. 4. [Governor's executive power; commander of militia.]Now combine that with a very public demand for the federal government to abide by Art 4, Sec 4 of the US Constitution:
The supreme executive power of the state shall be vested in the governor, who shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed. He shall be commander in chief of the military forces of the state, except when they are called into the service of the United States. He shall have power to call out the militia to preserve the public peace, execute the laws, suppress insurrection and repel invasion.
Art IV, Section. 4.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.

Lots of interest and even more posturing on the Evander Kane trade front
Thomas Drance
February 09 2015 04:18PM
So this may or may not surprise you: lots of teams would love to acquire a 23-year-old power forward who scores 5-on-5 goals at a first-line rate, especially if that 23-year-old power forward who scores 5-on-5 goals at a first-line rate can be had on the cheap.
Though Evander Kane is lost for the season following shoulder surgery, the rumours surrounding his future continue to flow in. There's a lot of reported interest and even more reported posturing.
Let's dig in.
Do the Jets win more games when out-hitting?
Garret Hohl
February 09 2015 01:06PM
The hit statistic is one of the more common stats thrown out there in game analysis. It isn't uncommon to hear some saying they are losing due to lack of physicality, show the hit numbers, and then play some clips. Earlier this morning I wrote an article at Hockey-Graphs about hitting and its negative relationship with goal differentials.
But what about the Jets? Does this trend persist for them?
Let's take a look.

Lately all the Winnipeg Jets talk has been centred on a young, talented player being lost to the organization. Instead of focusing on the negative, I thought we turn it around and focus on the positive. Alexander Burmistrov will likely be returning to the NHL and that is a good thing!

It was a great late Sunday afternoon (or early Sunday evening) and the Winnipeg Jets came to play. Unfortunately for the Avalanche, their team didn't arrive until much later; they allowed an ugly 4 goals in the second period and ultimately loss the game 5 to 3.

Jamie Kelly promises everything in her diary is true -- well, true as it needs to be, anyway. Your child will laugh as she reads Jamie's diary entries about her life, especially the ones about the pretty, popular Angeline who, in Jamie's opinion, is a complete goon.
Softcover, contains 128 Pages
By: Jim Benton
In her candid diary entries, sure to enthrall your preteen reader, Jamie Kelly promises everything is true - although she has her own point of view. Jamie is hiding from an admirer too gross to be mentioned, she's fallen for Hudson and Hudson has his eyes on the Princess Turd of Turdsylvania - who some think is the prettiest girl in the school.
