Blue Jays skipper John Gibbons calls on knuckleballer R.A. Dickey (11-11, 3.91 ERA) for Game 4 of the ALDS at the Rangers on Monday (4:07 p.m. ET, FOXS1). Lefty Derek Holland (4-3, 4.91 ERA) commands the mound for Texas.
Series odds: The price on the Blue Jays was adjusted to +155 to win the best-of-five series from a pre-Game 3 line of +400 after besting the Rangers Sunday night. Rangers bettors are laying -175, down from the -500 odds less than 24 hours ago.
Game 4 line: Blue Jays -130, Total: 9.5
Line movement: Texas is taking money as a home dog, with the line moving from +125 to +120 in less than three hours of trading. Check our odds page for current MLB playoff lines.
Blue Jays outlook: Dickey is in decent form, lowering his ERA from 4.25 to 3.91 in the month of September. He is 2-2 with a 3.77 ERA in four career starts against the Rangers. Texas' current roster has hit the knuckler well, with a .286 lifetime average in 199 at-bats. The ice-cold Josh Hamilton has done some damage in 10 plate appearances, hitting .500 with one double and zero strikeouts.
On the road, the Jays went 1-8 in the first half of the season behind Dickey, supporting him with only 2.4 runs per game. Since the All-Star break, however, they are 5-2 behind the knuckler, scoring 4.7 runs to 3.9 allowed. Dickey has won his last four starts as a favorite away from the Rogers Centre, he and the pen allowing 2.2 runs a game.
The Jays are slugging home 5.9 runs per game against starters with a 4.00 ERA or higher since the All-Star break, 6.2 when closing as the favorite.
Rangers outlook: Holland, who missed the majority of the first half of the season because of surgery to remove a bone chip in his throwing elbow, ended the year pretty badly, giving up 24 earned runs in 28 innings in his final five starts of the regular season. The sinker-baller saw his ERA jump from 3.13 to 4.91 over this span. Holland is 3-0 with a 3.79 ERA in postseason play.
Holland is 3-2 in seven career starts against Toronto. The Blue Jays' current roster has a .225 batting average against the 29-year old in 138 at-bats. Third baseman Josh Donaldson has four extra base hits in 23 plate appearances, while outfielder Jose Bautista is only hitting .200 in 20 at-bats.
Dating back to 2012, Holland is 4-1 in his last five starts as a home dog. The Rangers, in fact, are 10-4 overall in their last 14 as a home dog.
Trends that matter: The OVER is 17-8-1 since the All-Star break when the Jays close as the betting favorite on the road….The Rangers are 10-6 as a home dog since the All-Star break
Pick: The Sporting News' staff likes the Jays to win, but we don't like laying -130 on road chalk. We'll hold our money and see if a Game 5 presents a better wagering opportunity.

Self acclaimed speakeasy, only open on friday and saturday nights. Stiff drinks, soul food and live music

Original Aired On 02/20/2012
Episode: Detroit
Andrew and Chuck Bennett for an upscale version of Detroit soul food.
Andrew and Chuck Bennett visited Cafe d'Mongo's for an upscale version of Detroit soul food. Andrew tasted Leroy's version of peking duck. As seen on Bizarre Foods America.
George the piano player is awesome. Their menu is not vegetarian friendly:( the d�cor is like Applebee's on Jazz;)
Soul food and very stiff drinks. Best bet? Meet the owner, Larry D'Mongo, and listen to his stories: If they aren't always factual, they're entertaining as hell.
Larry D'mongo is hilarious.
Try a Detroit Brown (ask red, courtney or christine), and for the love of god get there early enough for soul food.
If you think you're looking at a mirror and don't see your reflection, don't worry, you didn't disappear. You're just a drunk fucking idiot staring at the other side of the room.
Open only Friday night and some Saturdays. Go here for food and drinks and stay all night for the live music and amazing people watching!
Dope music and drinks and the decor hasn?t changed in 50 years. If you?re lucky, Mongo will be there himself, and you can buy him a shot for being so damn cool.
Some spots are like sitting in your grandmas old furniture. Prepare for your chin to be table height.
Drink alot. Listen to the mysic. And dont stare at the walls too much!

Convention (III) relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War. Geneva, 12 August 1949.
of 1960
Contrary to former practice, accession today works on the same principles as ratification. Thus accessions will take effect six months after the date on which they are received by the Swiss Federal Council which, in this case also, is named as depositary and has the task of communicating accessions to the other Powers.
Article 140 does not state, as Article 137
did for ratifications, that the Federal Council must draw up a record of the deposit of each accession, or that it must transmit a copy of that record to the other Powers. There is no reason, however, why the formalities should not be the same for accessions as for ratifications.
If reservations are made on accession, they will be treated in the same way as reservations on ratification (1).

You are right, its very simple but also delicious. I did not have exactly 300 grams zucchini but it did not matter. This was very nice served with a pasta dish. The sides were very crispy, the middle a bit softer. Leftovers reheated very well the next day and I will make this again!!!

WASHINGTON, DC-Sens. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Mark Warner (D-VA) authored the "Housing Finance Reform and Taxpayer Protection Act." Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NB); Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT); Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND); Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV); and Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), sponsored the legislation. In short, there is some powerful forces lined up behind the legislation.
It will be necessary as the bill calls for radical change in the mortgage finance industry. As Sen. Warner explained in a lengthy post published on his website and in Politico, the bill calls for:
- Private market participants to hold 10% of the first loss of any mortgage-backed security that purchases a government reinsurance wrap–twice the loss severity experienced by Fannie and Freddie during the crisis. The authors note that if this standard had been in place during the crisis, taxpayers would have taken no losses.
- A new infrastructure that would split up credit investors, who want to take on this risk of loss, from rate investors, who have traditionally supplied our market with the funds necessary to borrow at low rates. "This will help keep mortgage rates competitive, while also isolating the taxpayer from loss."
- The dissolution of Fannie and Freddie within five years of bill passage and transfer appropriate utility duties and functions to a different, modernized and streamlined agency. "All of this is done with a fiduciary duty to maximize returns to the taxpayer, via the Treasury, as the GSE's assets are sold off."
- The elimination of the GSEs' affordable housing goals, which will be replaced with more transparent and accountable counseling and rental assistance programs. A new access fund paid through a small assessment on those loans that go through the government platform will be dedicated to the sustainability of homeownership, "while making it very clear where the money goes and putting in place strict criminal penalties against misuse."
- The formation of a new corporation mutually owned by small banks and credit unions to make sure that they have direct access to the secondary market. "This ensures that local banks and credit unions aren't gobbled up by the mega banks as soon as Fannie and Freddie are dissolved."

CARBURETOR IIIIIIIM Filed M4rch 13, 1924 Patented Apr. 2%, i927.
parse ,srarrs LfiZfifitS PATENT @FFNTE.
Application filed March 13, 1924, Serial No. 698,966, and in France March 19, 1923. Q
My invention relates to a carburetor having a simple and substantial construction and comprising no fragile elementsnor capilary ducts which are subject to cloggmg and are difficult. to keep in order, The said apparatus is further arranged in such manner that the simple operation of a needle valve will serve to control the inlet of air as well as the inlet of gasoline in order to modify the power produced accordin to needs and even to entirely out ofi the a mission of air and gasoline when an energetic braking action is desired. Another feature of the nvention is the arrangement of the gasoline and air passages, providing for two successive emulsions and a rotary motion, thus offer'lng a complete spraying and a. perfect mixture of the fuel with the air.
The invention further comprises a simple regulating device for the admission of additional air, whereby the driver can cut ofi" or admit the air by the use of the finger and without removing the hand from the steering wheel.
The appended drawings show by way of example a conventional form of carburetor according to the invention.
Fig. 1 is a vertical axial section and Fig. 2 a section on the line AA of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of a device for the control of the admission of additional air.
The said carburetor comprises amain body 1 having therein a mixture passage formed by two conical portions in contrary disposition 2, 3 and separated by a restricted part 4. The part 4 is joined to a cylindrical portion 5 which is screwthreaded and serves to make connection with the engine inlet. \Vithin the conical part 3 is disposed a conical valve member 6 secured to the controlrod 7 which is slidable in the plug Sacrewed to the bottom of the main body- 1, said valve member being urged against "the surface 3 by the spring 9. v
In the plug 8 are plercedthe apertures 10 for the suction inlet of air to the engine. The gasoline from a constant level tank not shown, flows through the pipe 11 and into the annular passage 12. provided at thebot- .tom of the said main body, and proceeds thence through the vertical ducts 13 I into the transverse conduits 14 the latter are practically tangential to the conical surface 3, and due to this'inclination, a rotar motion is imparted'to the fuel'mixture 1n the annular space between the conical parts 3 and 6 when the valve 6 is more or less lowered, and this motion will further the mingling of the gasoline with the air admitted through the apertures 10.
An additional supply of air can also be admitted into the. conduits 14, since the lattor communicate with the annular chamber 12 which may be connected with the atmosphere under the control of a needle valve 16 which is urged upon its seat by a spring 17. By controlling the valve 6, the engine feed can be modified. at will, since the section of the passage between the parts?) and 6 is changed, and hence the amount of air and gasoline admitted. The feed can even be entirely arrested, both for gasoline and air,
when the valve 6 is fitted exactly into the cone 3. From this time onward, the engine,
acts as a vacuum pump with respect to the. inlet p1pe,"and it may 'thus'serve for the braking of the-vehicle for the usual brakes. To control the gasoline feed, acock 1.8 is
preferably mounted on the fuel pipe in order and can be substituted normal operation, this feed will be more or less reduced according to the variations in the sections of the passages which are conbe replaced to advantage by the simple deto limit the maximum output of fuel. In
vice shown in Fig-3- for cutting oifthe inlet of additional air at, will and herein the airis admitted to the chamber 15 through a conduit 19 extending to a point which is within reach of the driver and is preferably located upon the steering wheel;the driver can stop up the orifice 2O simply by means of the fin ger, for example during the short periods in which it is advantageous to provide a very rich fuel mixture in order to obtain a momentary excess of. power.
It should beobs'erved that in normal operation, the gasolineisemulsified with air by meeeting in a perpendicular manner with the streams of additional air flowing in the conduits 14 forming in ectors, and is further emulsified with air when the resulting rich mixture meets obliquely with the stream of air rising between the conical parts 3 and 6. This will roduce a. double atomizing effect and a per ect mixture, assuring arapid and complete combustion. Thejcock l8 may loo ' engines, the combination of a hollow body adapted to be connected with the intake manifold of the engine and in which is provided an air central duct having a tapered part whose opening, of the smallest diameter, is located on the side of the manifold of the engine, a tapered valve'adapted to fit in and close the said tapered part of the duct and the top of which is also orientated towards the manifold of the engine, an annular fuel chamber provided in the wall of the said hollow body and arranged concentrically to the said central duct, the said hollow body having. provided in its wall auxiliary air inlet ducts communicating, on the one hand with the free air and 'discharging, on the other hand, into the said central duct at points situated in a circle near the opening of the largest diameter of the said central tapered duct and spray nozzles starting from the said fuel chamber and ending into the said duets.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signed my name.

The first significant prolonged snowfall for Central Oregon is headed our way. A winter weather advisory will be in effect from 3pm Wednesday through 10am Thursday. "In the Bend area, we could be expecting anywhere from three to five inches of snow with locally higher amount, locally higher amounts near the crest. So as you head up an elevation north and west of us we could be talking about amounts higher than that, maybe seven or eight inches of snow in those areas." Weather Channel forecaster Mark Thibodeau says there would be blowing and drifting. The snow will be warm and wet, so it could cause a problem with trees and power lines. He also calls this "heart attack" snow so if you have a heart condition be careful as you shovel it because it will be heavy. We could feel the impact of three separate snow systems by the time the weekend arrives. The first heavy one will arrive within the next 18-hours, followed by a smaller one, and then possibly some more significant snowfall by the weekend. Temperatures will drop overnight after some daytime melting, so you can also expect some slick roads.

2,941,983 URETHANE-TERMINATED POLYCARBODIIMIDES Kenneth c. Smeltz, Wilmington, Del., assignor w E. I. du Pont de Nemonrs and Company, Wilmington, Del.,
This invention is directed to a new composition of matter which comprises urethane-terminated polycarbodiimides of controlled molecular weight. These com- 'pounds are useful in the preparation of films, coatings, fibers, elastomers, plastics, binders and adhesives.
Carbodiimides such as diphenylcarbodiimide are known. These compounds have been described in Chemical Reviews, vol. 53 (1953), pages 145-166, and in Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, vol. IlI--A, page 205, Elsevier Publishing Company (1954). In general, these carbodiimides have been prepared by treating a di-substituted thiourea with a metallic oxide, such as mercuric oxide. This type of process is not satisfactory for the preparation of polymeric compounds containing a plurality of carbodiimide linkages.
The polymeric carbodiimides prepared by treating diisocyanates with phospholine oxide catalysts exhibit limited storage stability. Their solutions soon become viscous and deposit gel polymer. Although the reasons for this instability are not fully understood it is believed that the terminal isocyanate groups are largely responsible. Chain extension involving these groups is possible Traces of the polymerization catalyst can promote further carbodiimide formation by interaction of the isocyanate groups with each other; traces of water can add to the carbodiirnide links in the "polymer and create sites for isocyanate attack. The
presence of water may leadto urea links. Since these isocyanate-terminated polymeric 'carbodiimides have a tendency to undergo this uncontrolled chain extension, it
is very diflicult to isolate and keep a product of desired molecular weight. 1 i
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a novel class of polymeric carbodiimides which are urethane terminated.
It is also an object to provide polymeric carbodiimides of controlled molecular weight. It is a still further object of the present invention to provide polymeric carbodiimides whose solutions display improved shelf-life.
These and other objects will become apparent in the following description and claims.
More specifically, the present invention is directed to novel urethane-terminated polycarbodiimides of the formula where R is a bivalent organic radical which is free of substituents reactive with isocyanate groups; BO is a monovalent radical obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from a primary or secondary alcohol; BOH may not be phenolic and x is an integer greater than 1.
The compounds of the present invention are made by dissolving a diisocyanate or an isocyanate-terminated linear polymer or their mixtures in a suitable inert solvent, initiating chain extension by adding a catalyst for United States Patent "ice 2 carbodiimide formation, and, finally, chain-stopping the polymerization by introducing a primary or secondary alcohol when the polymer has reached a certain observed number average molecular weight.
The polymerization reaction may be carried out between about 25-l50 C. The rate is inconveniently slow when the reaction temperature is below 25 C. When sterically unhindered diisocyanates such as methylene bis(4-phenylisocyanate) are polymerized, it is recommended that the upper temperature limit be about C. When sterically hindered diisocyanates such as of the polycarbodiimide, the activity of the catalyst and the reactivity of the diisocyanate. The polymeric carbodiimide must not precipitate from solution during the reaction. A convenient rate of polymerization will require a higher temperature it less catalyst is used or if the catalyst is not very active or if a sterically hindered diisocyanate such as mesitylene diisocyanate is to be polymerized. It has been found convenient to carry out the operations at 50 C. when unhindered diisocyanates are employed. I
Solutions containing about 10-30% by weight of diisocyanate are treated while agitated under anhydrous conditions with about 0.1-10 parts of catalyst for every 100 parts of diisocyanate. It has been found convenient to use about 0.6 part of 1-ethyl-3-methyl-3-phospholine l-oxide. Carbon dioxide is evolved as chain extension occurs by carbodiimide formation.
The amount of the carbon dioxide given off during the reaction can be continually determined by passing the gas through a suitable absorption column which is attached to a balance. The weight of this carbon dioxide can be correlated with the progress of the polymerization by reference to a working plot of molecular weight attained vs. weight of carbon dioxide evolved for the diisocyanate in question. When the molecular weight has reached the level desired, alcohol is introduced into the reaction mixture. Shortly thereafter gas evolution ceases. The polymer may then be isolated.
The preferred procedure for obtaining the polymeric carbodiimides is to remove the solvent under vacuum. This procedure avoids fractionation. When the polymeric carbodiimide is prepared in benzene, it may be isolated by pouring the solution into a large excess of an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent such as n-hexane. This method of isolation, however, does not recover all the polymer.
The number average molecular weight of the products isolated has been determined by ebullioscopic measurements or by titration of a polyguanidine derivative. The values obtained are in excellent agreement with the molecular weights indicated by carbon dioxide evolution. In Example 1A, the polymer number-average molecular Weight is given as 670 by gas evolution, 680 by boiling point rise, and 664 by titration of the polyguanidine.
Primary or secondary amines may be used as well as their alcohol analogues to stop the growing polymer chains; however, unlike the alcohols under these tempera- Suitable.

ture conditions, the amines also add to the carbodiimide QThis addition does afford a convenient way for determining' the -N=C-=N content of the polymer and the solids whose physical properties depend on the nature of the diisocyanate'employed and, the degree of polymerization. The infrared spectra of these carbodiimides exhibit bands characteristic of the NH group at 3.02
microns, the -N==C=N group at 4.70 microns and 'a urethane carbonyl group at 5.77 microns.
Primary or secondary alcohols containing no other substituents reactive with isocyanates are useful in this invention. Representative examples of these alcohols are methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, sec.-
butyl alcohol, isoamyl alcohol, n-hexanol, cyclohexanol, 2-chloro-1-propanol, 2-octanol, methyl phenyl carbinol,
"benz'yl alcohol, diethylene glycol mono-n-butyl ether, and
cinnamyl alcohol. Tertiary alcohols and phenols, cres'ols,
'naphthols, and other compounds in Which the hydroxyl group is directly attached to an aromatic ring are not For optimum results, the alcohol selected'to stop' the polymerization should have a boiling point above the temperature at which the reaction is being conducted.

The corresponding phospholines and phospholidines may be prepared by a lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the corresponding dichlorophospholine or phospholidine. These dichloro compounds are also used to prepare the above-mentioned oxides and sulfides and are described in U.S. Patent 2,663,736.

The solvent should readily dissolve both the diisocyanate and the alcohol used as the chain-stopper. Furthermore, it should maintain the polymeric carbodiimide' in solution during the polymerization. Benzene, toluene, the xylenes, ethyl benzene, isopropyl benzene, mesitylene, cyclopentane, n-hexane, cyclohexane, n-heptane, methyl cyclohexane, tetramethylethylene, diisobutylene, chlorobenzene, methylene chloride, ethylidene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ethylene chloride, methylene bromide, o-dichlorobenzene, chloromethylether, isopropylether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, and pyridine are representative examples of solvents useful in this invention.
The -N=C=N- content is determined as follows:
Weigh a 0.2 g. sample of the polycarbodiimide into a 250-ml. Erlenmeyer flask. Introduce 35-50 ml. of dry tetrahydrofuran and dissolve the sample. Add about 5.0 ml. of a 0.4 M solution of ethylamine in tetrahydrofuran. Stopper the Erlenmeyer flask and allow it to stand l5;30 minutes at room temperature. Remove the stoppenadd a boiling chip, and heat the flask on a steam bath. Bring the solution to boil and maintain boiling until the vapor is no longer basic to wet indicator paper. Cool the solution, add about 8. drops Brom Phenol Blue indicator and titrate with 0.1 N hydrochloric acid until the solution turns green.
For example, a 0.2078 g. sample requires 9.15 ml. of 0.1005 N hydrochloric acid. The percent N=C:N prescut is In general, Percent N: G

Representative examples illustrating the present invention follow.
Example 111 Preparation of o CHsCHaO( i-NH-[A N;O=N-]:Ar-NH-ii-O CHrCHa where Ar represents the bivalent residue obtained by removing the isocyanate groups from toluene-2,4-diiso cyanate.
02 part of 3-methy1-1-ethyl-3-phospholine l-oxide is added with stirring to a solution of 34.8 parts (0.2 mole) of toluene-2,4-diisocyanate in 175 parts of anhydrous benzene at 50 C. Carbon dioxide evolution starts at once and continues steadily in the following 37 minutes during which the reaction mixture is agitated at 50 C. A total of 6.0 parts of carbon dioxide is collected. Then 9.2 parts (0.2 mole) of absolute ethanol are added. Gas is evolved for 23 more minutes. The total carbon dioxide collected amounts to 6.7 parts. e
The solution is concentrated under reduced pressure at a temperature below 5 0 C. The sticky mass obtained is soluble in chloroform and benzene. Its infrared spectrum shows a NH band at 3.02 micro'ns, a --N=C=N band at 4.70 microns, and a urethane carbonyl band at 5.77 microns. Analysis of the polycarbodiimide gives an 18.4% N=C=N content which indicates .a numberaverage molecular weight of 664. The total weight of carbon dioxide evolved indicates a number-average molecular weight of 670. The ebullioscopic value determined in benzene is 680.
Example 113 The procedure in Example 1A is repeated except that the ethanol is not added until 8.2 parts of carbon dioxide have been evolved (270 minutes after initiation of reaction). No more gas is given off. l About two-thirds of the benzene is removed and the. concentrated solution is poured into n-hexane. The white fiufly precipitate which separates is only partially soluble in chloroform, benzene and tetrahydrofuran. cast from the chloroform solution exhibits a NH peak at 3.10 microns; a strong -N=C=N band at 4.68 mi crons, and a small urethane carbonyl band at 5.76 microns. The number-average molecular weight of the .unfractionated product is indicated to be 2114 by the weight of carbon dioxide collected during the run.
Example 2A Preparation of where Ar represents the bivalent residue obtained by removing the isocyanate groups from toluene-2,4-diisocyanate.
0.2 part of 3-methyl-3-phospholine-l-oxide is added with agitation to a solution of 34.8 parts (0.2 mole) of toluene-2,4-diisocyanate in 175 parts of anhydrous ben- 'zene at 50 C. The mixture obtained is maintained at 50 C. a'ndcontinually agitated. Carbon dioxide evolution occurs steadily and 6.0 parts are collected within 50 minutes. Then 12 parts (0.2 mole) of isopropanol is introduced. Gas continues to be evolved for about 25 minutes until the total collected is 7.0 parts. Thereafter no more is given off.
The benzene is distilled olf at reduced pressure and at a temperature below 50 C. The hard brittle product is soluble in chloroform and benzene.
i The infrared spectrum of a Nujol mull exhibits an NH The. infrared spectrum of a film '6 band at 3.03 microns, a -N=C=N- band at 4.74 microns, and a urethane carbonyl band at about 5.83 micons. Analysis indicates that the polymer has a 19.5% N=C=N-- content which implies a number-average molecular weight of 803. The 7.0 parts of carbon dioxide given ofi during the polymerization indicate a numberaverage molecular weight of 794. The ebullioscopic value determined in benzene is 792.
Example 23 Example 3 Preparation of 0.2 part of 3-methyl-l-ethyl-3-phospholine l-oxide is added with stirring to a solution of 34.8 parts (0.2 mole) of toluene-2,6-d-iisocyanate' in parts of anhydrous benzene at 50 C. Carbon dioxide evolution begins at once and continues steadily in a first-order manner during the following 1 hour and 40 minutes during which the reaction mixture is agitated at 50 C. When 6.3 parts of carbon dioxide have been evolved, 9.2 parts. (0.2 mole) of absolute ethanol is added. Gas is given ofi for a short while. The total carbon dioxide collected is 6.6 parts.
The mixture is cooled and poured into a large excess of n-hexane with stirring. The precipitated solid is filtered, dissolved in hot chloroform and again precipitated by addition to n-hexane. The total weight of carbon dioxide evolved indicates a number-average molecular weight of 642.
Example 4.4
Preparation of 0.2 part of 3-methyl-1-ethyl-3-phospholine l-oxide is added with stirring to a solution of 50 parts (0.2 mole) of 4,4-diisocyanato diphenylmethane in 175 parts of anhydrous benzene at 50 C. Carbon dioxide evolution begins at once and continues steadily in a first-order manner in the following hour during which the reaction mixture is agitated at 50 C. In the first hour 7.9 parts of carbon dioxide is given oil. Then 9.2 parts (0.2 mole) of absolute ethanol is added. Carbon dioxide evolution stops after 15 minutes. The total gas collected weighs 8.1 parts.
The solution is concentrated at 40-50 C. under vacuum to give a white solid which analyzes for 17.0% carbodiimide content. This indicates a number-average molecul-ar weight of 2771. The total weight of carbon dioxide evolved indicates a number-average molecular weight of 2750. r
Example 43 The procedure in Example 4A is repeated except that the ethanol is introduced when only 6.9 parts of carbon dioxide have been evolved. The number-average molecular weight is about 1071 at this point. Gas evolution ceases after 0.4 additional part has been collected. The solution is cooled and poured with stirring into n-hexane. The product separates as a White solid. The weight of carbon dioxide collected indicates a number-average molecular weight of 1332.
Example 5 Preparation of in chloroform.
0.2 part of S-methyl-l-ethyl-3-phospholine l-oxide is introduced with agitation into a solution of 50 parts (0.2 mole) of 4,4-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane in 300 parts of chloroform at 50 C. The mixture obtained is subsequently stirred at 50C. Carbon dioxide evolution is very slow and only 4.8 parts is collected in the first 3 hours. An additional 012 part of cyclic phospholine catalyst is introduced. The reaction is continued at 50 C. for 2 hours and 20 minutes longer. The total carbon dioxide collected is 6.2 parts. Then 9.2 parts (0.2 mole) of absolute ethanol is introduced. Carbon dioxide evolution ceases after about 20 minutes during which about 0.2 part is collected.
The solution is concentrated under vacuum at a temperature below 50 C. until about half the chloroform has been removed. The residual'solution is poured into n-hexane with stirring. The precipitated polymer product is separated and air-dried.
Example 6 Preparation of *collected.
Half the benzene is distilled off under reduced pressure at a temperature below 50 C. The concentrated solution is poured into a large volume of n-hexane. The polymeric product precipitated is separated and Washed with additional n-hexane. The polycarbodiimide is a white flufi'y solid Which dissolves in benzene and chloroform. The infrared spectrum of a film cast from chloroform solution exhibits -NH band at 3.0 microns, a strong N=C=N peak-at 4.70 microns, and a urethane carbonyl band at 5.76 microns. i f g l Example 7 CH: O I- Preparation of CHs NH-C-CHaOHs 0.2. part of S-methyl-Lethyl-3-phospholine l-oxide is added with stirring to a solution of 40.4 parts (0.2 mole) of mesitylene diisocyanate in 260 parts of o-dichlorobenzene at 140 C. Carbon dioxide evolution begins at thereafter. A storage stable solution of urethane-terminated polymeric carbodiimide is obtained. The weight of carbon dioxide collected during the run indicates that the polymer has a number-average molecular weight of 7250.
Example 8 Preparation of obtained by removing the terminal isocyanate groups from toluene-ZA-diisocyanate capped polyethyleneether glycol.
A. PREPARATION OF ISOCYANATE-TERMINATED POLYETHYLENEETELER I t a 3 10 parts (0.5 mole) of polyethyleneether glycol (-M.W.=620; Water content=0.04%) and 0.88 part (0.005 mole) of benzene sulfonyl chloride are thoroughly rnixed and added at room temperature to 522 parts (3L0 moles) of toluene-2,4-diisocyanate contained in a dry reaction vessel equipped with athermometer, agitator, nitrogen inlet and a condenser attached to a drying tube. A slow sweep of dry nitrogen is continually maintained. External heat is applied and the temperature of thereaction mixture is adjusted to C. The reactants are agitated for one hour at 75 C. The excess toluene diisocyanate is distilled off under reduced pressure. The product obtained is extracted with petroleum ether and again heated under reduced pressure to remove the petroleum ether.

Quiet county park outside the city, but close enough to drive in to visit. We stayed here 10 days since I needed to fly out of PDX to return home for a wedding while DH watched over the unit and Bengal cat. I was able to get a weekend reservation here within one-week notice for August so that was pretty impressive. You'll need over a month's advance notice for weekends at the state parks. They keep the grass green and trimmed here. Picnic tables are located at the back-side of the parking pad, a little odd to me, but I suppose they figured you'd want to enjoy the grassy area more than next to your RV door. Sites are pretty close together too, so maybe too tight for picnic tables, plus it would be tough to maintain the narrow strip of grass. They are planting young trees between sites, so in 10 years I can expect there to be a little privacy and eventually shade? If I could have reserved much sooner, I'd have chosen one of the pull-thru sites in the trees. If you have a smaller unit without tow vehicle, you should check out the other camping section, it's set in the trees more with back-in sites for more privacy. I never got to check out the bath house. We work online so Verizon LTE data coverage is important for us, and this area had solid LTE service. - Sara C.

We stayed in the RV section (Barton East) for a week. The campground in general is quite nice, with newly paved roads and sites, decently sized sites, and a huge green field in the center of the main loop. Most sites are back-in with full sun and plenty of space. There are about 8 crescent pull-throughs that have more shade and privacy, but are right up against the trees with very little camping space. We chose the back-in. The park is mainly used by locals for weekend camping and activities along the river, and as a camper you can walk down to the river to swim, tube, etc. There are a few trails around the park which are good for walking dogs, and the campground itself is large enough for most dog walks. The main downside is that because of the several small lakes that surround the campground, the grass and roads were covered in goose droppings so you continuously need to watch your step. The lakes are overgrown/swampy so not good for getting the dogs wet. The showers were clean but water was lukewarm and the shower head created a fine spray making the water feel even cooler. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. We had only 2 bars of AT&T and Verizon 4G but both worked pretty well. Note: the park apparently locks their gates at 10pm nightly, although we were never out late so didn't confirm this. We used Barton Park as a home base to visit Portland and the Columbia Gorge. Unfortunately it's about 60 minutes to Portland due to traffic and 45 minutes to Columbia Gorge due to lack of main roads nearby. We'd definitely consider staying here again (it's a great park with a great price), but we might try to stay closer to Portland for a few nights to visit without all the driving/traffic. - LifeRebooted

This is a nice park, with very clean restrooms and free showers, nice playground, short walk to an amazing park on the river. Would be a great spot for a wedding or family parties. All kind of sites available, some great wooded areas for tents or small campers. I would of given it a 10 but some sites are close together. AT&T cell work well. - laears

Very nice park, paved streets and all sites were level as well as paved. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Stayed in a pull-through site which was easy to get in and out of, with dedicated space to park our truck. The town of Troutdale is a nice little town and easy to walk to from campground. Cable TV was good and the Wi-Fi was OK. Definitely would stay here again when traveling in this area. We stayed here for 5 nights as we visited many sites in this area. - Jim Moyer

Beautiful park, though little privacy between sites. Spaces are paved and level. Cable TV requires a converter box from the office. Internet provided by TengoInternet, so it's spotty at best. Facilities were OK, but starting to show their age. Very little freeway noise, but passing freight trains at night were noticeable. Rate was for a 5-day stay. Good hub for seeing Portland and Columbia River area. - Christopher Scott

Sites are all shaded, large, paved level back-ins, electric/water - no sewer (one dump nearby). The park is quiet with good hiking/horse trails. Picnic tables are extra large. Clackamus River runs through the park. Only 30 amp service and low voltage in the early mornings - trips our surge protector between 8-9am. Great, helpful camp hosts. Views are limited because of all the trees, but lots of green. Mount Hood is nearby. Definitely stay here again. - Livermorered

This is a very nice park, well taken care of, sites are nicely spaced, with power and water for $24.00 night. Lots of walking and horse trails, even a big off leash dog area, horse corals, and disk golf course. Very clean bathroom with free showers. ATT cells works well, was able to get internet through the cell, no dirTv. Note to any one going to Oregon State Parks, they're all on one night at a time or by reservations, makes it kind of hard to just stop in and pick a site for a few nights at a time. All in all great park, I would stay again if in area. We have been told the fishing great!! - laears

Pros: easy access to freeway, walmart and other grocers nearby, close in to Portland, sites concrete, level, good landscaping and well maintained. Cons: on one side RR tracks, other side busy roadway, above is flight path to Portland airport. Cable and wi-find terrible, good antenna recept. Things quiet down pretty much at night. By 5-6 a.m. "permanent" residents go to work in their diesel trucks and on motorcycles and air and road noise picks up. Only a couple of trains a day. - Oregon91

This park is extremely well kept and a good location for visiting Portland. The sites are a little tight....the lamp post doesn't help.... with cars being parked next to the rig, which is close to many slides. But we got it to work. We were parked across from the dog walk area and that was convenient for us. Verizon cell and air card worked well, as did all the utilities. We were able to get satellite from our space. Pads are paved, as well as the street so it stays nice and clean. The staff in the office was very friendly. We have stayed here before and will stay again. - Danni

The sites at this park are tight. They gave us Site 70 which just fit the length of our 45 ft coach, except we could not open the door because of an untrimmed tree. The rudest manager I have met in years informed me that they were busy and there was nothing he would do to rectify the problem. Eventually he did move us to Site 71 which does have a trimmed tree. Concrete pad is just wide enough for your wheels. Towed vehicle must be parked beside your rig and with slides it is difficult to get the driver side door open. Sites are so tight for larger rigs that trucks are sticking out in the street. It is very busy and I recommend reservations. Park is clean & well located. Our site was mostly dirt; no grass. - Freedom Bus

This is our favorite RV park !!! according to an overall feel we were looking for in a park.
It's a small park, about 15 spots, some of the people are seasonal but everyone is super friendly. We immediately felt like we could stay here for a long time. It's the only park that you WON'T hear the train it is very quite, maybe some of the others may look nicer but this one feels welcoming and family like.
It's in the heart of Columbia Valley, on the hill. It is only 25min away from Portland but has the best location for hiking and more attractions around.
Wifi works GREAT!!!! Water pressure is very good.
Our dog loved it here and she's picky ;)
It doesn't look perfect but rather feels very homey, each spot has nice green grass on both sides and the spots has nice space between each other.
We've never given a park 10 stars, even not the "resort" really beautiful ones, but this one even though it's not prettiest, it's just made us feel like we belong. - MikeMayNaama

A very nice little park with very friendly folks. Maneuvering's a bit tight, but doable. Site was a bit off level. Rate is full rate-- no PA in June. Park entry is on a curve in the road, so access and egress can be tricky. Manager watched traffic for us on departure. Arriving, we took Exit 18, avoiding grade and tight curves (40ft MH with tow). When approaching the park from west, look for pale green commercial buildings on the right. Entry is on the right IMMEDIATELY after! Managers interrupted their dinner to greet us. Park is very well kept, with trees, very pleasant atmosphere. We just stayed one overnight, but they were very helpful with sightseeing info, etc. I would stay there again. - JFXG

I've visited here many times over the last 11 years and if never seems to change...except they keep raising the nightly/weekly rates. WiFi is email and FB speed only, short term pads are broken up and tilt to the right (uncomfortable during showers and stuff), cable requires box, with a $50 deposit (refundable), and then doesn't work (OTA is OK though), bathroom is clean but it's 100 yards away, and requires a key ($5 deposit...refundable). All in all, I would not stay here if it wasn't so conveniently close to my friends living in the area...
When I'm lucky, and a good pad opens up, I stay here for weeks at a time. But that was last year and years past when the weekly was $180, now it's freaking $220. Really, place isn't worth that. - User35

The place is rundown with 99 percent permanent residents. The pads are terribly un level and narrow. The manager is an older woman with a nasty attitude. Don't waste your time stopping here - Doctorlock

Price was OK for the area and what you get. Office personal was very dramatic and every request and change seemed to frustrate her. Most sites are permanent residents. Laundry and restrooms are clean and nice. Most spots have trees, making it difficult for satellites to receive. We would not stay here again if we could find another place. - JoyceG

We stayed here for a week, and were not especially happy with the park. The sites were too short for our 39 foot motorhome. The grass/weeds were not taken care of. There were many resident rvs, some not well taken care of. The rules, especially for quiet time, were not enforced. We will NOT return. Also many of the sewer connections did not have covers. - Kent Savage

10 level sites. Good location easy off and on freeway. Without full hookup I cannot give any site more than 8. But it is a good place other than that issue. - Gilbert & Gail

We needed an overnight stop and most RV parks in the Portland area (very few to begin with) are full for the summer. Make reservations early, the locals love camping in RV's! This was fortunately one spot that seems to get overlooked if you need a last-minute place that is secure at night (gates are locked at 10pm). No reservations, it's first-come first-serve. Most sites are pull-thru and big-rig friendly. Check-in was a little confusing, no place to park without blocking the entrance. Might be best just to pick a spot you like and pull-in? That's what we did and the camp host met us at our site to take a credit card or exact cash only (no checks accepted). Sites right next to the river are extra, maybe $5 more? We arrived on a Wednesday evening and the campground was less than half-full in the middle of July. You will want to be self-contained to stay here, no showers and I can't remember any restroom either, except if you walk over to the park (not far). We were in the 3rd row from the river but could still see it. Sites are crammed next to each other though, so it's practically a gravel parking lot. At least no one pulled in next to us that night - we picked one between empty sites. No picnic tables for sites here. There is a dump available here. Lastly, we work online and make sure to say something about Verizon's coverage - surely no need to worry being in the middle of the city here, full bars LTE data and cell signal. - Sara C.

The best sites are along the river. 2nd row is pretty good, too. All sites are a little close to the next. Good rate makes up for it, plus you're in the city. Road noise is moderate. Easy to access off the main road. I was able to pull in over 100 TV channels. I think the other review had issues with his TV. It's a great spot to drop in your kayak or do some river fishing. - Craig H

Best kept secret. No reservations. I was able to get a site last minute on weekends. The park has 2 great green parks, kids' activities and water access. Hosts are great people and keep all areas CLEAN. Great park centrally located. - Doctorlock

Very nice park directly across the street from marina at the lake 6 miles south of Estacada. Great Wi-Fi and level sites with lots of room. Didn't even know this park was here. We always parked our motorhome near Portland and drove to Estacada to visit family. We will stay here from now on. - 4Freeman
