Festival Park Reimagined
Festival Park is the heart of Downtown Castle Rock and is home to some of the community's most treasured events. Soon, this central gathering space will be transformed into a vibrant urban center. This project was planned through a collaborative effort of residents, the Downtown Development Authority, Downtown Merchants Association and the Town.
On Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2016 a construction contract between the Town and M.A. Mortenson Company was approved by Town Council to redevelop Festival Park. The goals are to enhance the park, boost the success of the adjacent Downtown business district and create an active public gathering space for both work and relaxation.
Throughout the planning process, the Town solicited input from the public to help re-image the park. The $6.9 million-park-improvement project will include amenities such as a landing pavilion, splash pad, two fire-pits, an open lawn, a creek-side picnic area, market plaza, bridge connections to Town Hall parking, improved lighting and seating, an overlook walkway with an iconic lantern feature and a water-play area in Sellars Gulch. In addition to the amenities, stormwater improvements along Sellars Gulch will be implemented to align with national flood plain regulations and provide public access to the creek.
It's also important to note, the park's redesign will include a permanent partial closure of Second Street. Traffic will only be permitted to enter Second Street one-way from Perry Street and will be required to exit through the alley north. This will allow for both a pedestrian walkway and market plaza to be incorporated into the park.
Construction is set to begin early 2017 and is planned to be completed by Starlighting.
The Festival Park redesign project has multiple funding sources including the Conservation Trust Fund, the Parks and Recreation Capital Fund, the Town's unobligated General Fund, the Town's Stormwater Account and the Downtown Development Authority's TIF (tax increment financing).
Funding Sources | |
Town of Castle Rock | $2.9 million |
Downtown Development Authority | $4 million |
Total | $6.9 |
Contract Award | M.A. Mortenson Company |
2008- Planning for the redesign of the park was a vision some time ago. In 2008, Downtown businesses voted to increase their property taxes to help pay for Downtown improvement projects through a TIF fund.
- Council approved the final design concept and funding as part of the 2016 budget.
- Public engagement process took place to get resident feedback. Check out the results from the public engagement process.
- Design Workshop – the landscape design consultant for the project – led a team of highly-qualified architects and engineers to develop construction drawings suitable for the contractor-bidding process.
- Town Council approved a construction contract with M.A. Mortenson Company.
- Construction is set to begin and is planned to be completed within roughly one year.
Anticipated Closures / Parking Suggestions
- Permanent partial closure of Second Street.
- The right turn lane onto Second Street when heading north on Wilcox will also be removed.
- Only five parking spots will remain on Second Street after construction begins. View the ample public parking that will remain available.
- Sellars Gulch Trail will be temporarily closed to accommodate construction beginning Feb. 9, 2017 (detour will be necessary). The closed portion of the trail is between Wilcox and Perry streets. The Sellars Gulch detour is approximately a half mile in length and takes you to street level by the police station, around Town Hall and down along the ADA access ramp near Blue Nectar restaurant. The detour is expected to be in effect through November 2017.
Current Project Status
Construction update - Friday, March 17
The construction progress at Festival Park is moving along as scheduled. The work in Sellars Gulch is moving upstream but is still focused on the first of two water-quality-control structure. The rock work in the gulch can be seen from the Wilcox Street bridge.
While this gulch work is continuing, crews are working on the shade structure off the corner of Second and Perry streets. The complicated excavation process around existing utilities is strategically taking place for the concrete footers.
Coming up next
Over the next few weeks the work in the gulch will continue. Additionally, concrete supports for the two pedestrian bridges will be placed. Also, the concrete walls will be placed for the shade structure.

Gianna Nannini annuncia il nuovo disco e il tour europeo
This is icehouse
I've seen them, I've seen the danger
I've seen some things
I'll remember if I live forever.
I need dream killers
I need your pictures
I don't need heroes
I need opinions
I need religion
I don't need heroes
I'll use the trick
It hurts but I'm thinking clearly.

To help you to decide if these workbooks may be of use to you, please read the reviews and find out what others have to say about them.
Clare Phillips wrote:
An amazing and gentle introduction to Qabalah, written in a practical and down to earth manner the book takes you to the temple of Malkuth using visualisation and meditation. It will get you thinking about your life, who you are and what is important to you. It introduces basics of the Qabalah and temple working without a need for any religious beliefs. A real must if you want to start looking at how to make changes in your life.
Paula Mundy wrote:
It's always difficult to know where to start when you've found a teaching that interests you, there are many books and courses to choose from, unfortunately most are confusing and costly.
The Qabalah workbooks however help you to understand the individual subject from the very start; they provide a wealth of information which is clearly written and illustrated.
Your imagination is brought to life when you read through the meditations; you'll be connected to the energy that surrounds you.
You'll want to explore deeper as each workbook has a unique feel, the more workbooks you read the stronger the connection you'll have with what goes on around you.
The depth of knowledge that the authors have is clearly visible through these workbooks and we appreciate them for sharing.
Lastly, if you decide to start your journey with these workbooks, note that you are providing yourself with a solid foundation to walk on.
Jane Russell wrote:
The OWL and Isis workbooks provide concise teachings of the traditional Qabalah as has been taught by OWL teachers and through Isis workshops. The workbooks take you step by step through each of the Sephirah on the Tree of Life with the aim of helping you understand the connections between your emotions, thoughts, attitudes and feelings, and your actual life experience. You are encouraged to work through exercises designed to help you to face the reality of your life while helping you discover what is truly important to you and to better know yourself.
Each workbook focuses on a different energy suggesting ideas that may be worthy of deeper exploration and contemplation. They include practical exercises which give equal importance to both heart and mind and which may help you to reach new insights that you can apply to your everyday life. The practical aspects of the Qabalah are complemented with esoteric information. This includes a summary of traditional correspondences and useful descriptions and illustrations in respect of each Sephirah to help prompt your own imagery in meditation. The workbooks do not give easy answers but instead provide tools to help self reflection and to help you open to your own unique experience and inner wisdom.
There is always something new to discover within Qabalah and as someone who has worked with the Tree of Life for many years I can recommend these very accessible workbooks as suitable for both new and established learners who may be considering returning to study.
Pam King wrote:
Each Workbook takes you on a journey to a different Sephirah on the Tree of Life. They are written step by step, progressively building up your knowledge in a very informative and practical way that is easy to understand. The workbooks are superbly illustrated which helps to bring the Qabalah to life.
Whereas many other books that I have read on the subject are largely theoretical, these workbooks go a step further. The information, meditations and guidance within them is really tangible, helping you to get to know the "real you" and begin to understand what is truly important in your life.
They have inspired me to look at many aspects of my life with a completely different awareness. They are deeply thought provoking and can be read and re-read, each time bringing a new awareness and further understanding. I can thoroughly recommend them.
Cassandra Deacon wrote:
These workbooks are a breath of fresh air. They are modern, concise and beautifully illustrated.
Steadily building awareness of the tree of life as a whole they also provide in depth information about each of the sephirah. As you work through the books you create a fascinating journal of your own personal experiences, learning more about yourself and the 'bigger picture'. It is explained how the previous workbook is linked in with the one you are working on, so you easily understand how the Tree of Life works - almost like a road map. As you build your knowledge and practical experiences you can become stronger spiritually, mentally and emotionally. For this reason I personally feel it is best to work on the books in order starting with Malkuth.
If you follow the workbooks closely and partake in all the practical work you can really get a lot out of your journey! The descriptions of the temples are very detailed but still allow for personal experience during the meditations described. With these books you can choose to submerge yourself deeply but on the other hand, if you wish to just 'dip in' there is plenty of information in bite size pieces.
The books contain practical tips such as help with meditation and links to further help on the OWL website.
Packed with information they are truly excellent value for money either for your practical journey or purely for reference.
Allison Chan wrote:
All my life I have been interested in and drawn towards spiritual and holistic studies and I have actively studied the Qabalah, with great enjoyment, for well over a year. Due to the fact that I feel and believe that my path is to spiritually give hope and protection, I have given up my old career in property management and have started a business which will also open a retail outlet in 2013.
I have used 'The practical Qabalah' workbooks in conjunction with my lessons and have found them to be an excellent learning resource and reference guide. They are easy to follow and take you, step by step, through the different temples and on a journey through the Tree of Life.
I have read several other books on the Qabalah and have found the Owl and Isis workbooks the best to follow because they are written in plain English and follow a structured course right from the beginning, rather than other books which assume a certain level of knowledge before you read them.
The workbooks are inspiring and enlightening, the meditations and visualisations are very powerful and extremely useful to be able to 'feel' what each temple is like. I would recommend these workbooks to anyone interested in studying the Qabalah and the Tree of Life.
Maria Ross wrote:
I ordered the series of workbooks exploring the teachings of the Qabalah (Kabbalah) and Tree of Life. The books were easy to read, study and understand. It was a very enjoyable experience. The books are just the tool especially for busy people who want to read about the subject but have limited time. They give you a good grasp of the teachings and help you to work on your own transformation. They are a work of art and deserve a place in main book shops.
Lee Lam wrote:
The workbooks offer everything you could want, from a complete introduction to the sephirah, to a challenge to understand it at a deeper level.
Each workbook contains the information required to fully appreciate what each aspect of the Tree of Life represents, and offers you a number of images that allow you to get the details straight in your own mind as to what that sephirah means to you. Alongside that knowledge, however, is the challenge: how can I incorporate what I now know into my life, to let my life run more in tune with the Tree's teachings?
The books let you go into as much or as little detail as you want, and the exercises help you learn more about yourself. The details given help you but there is always the teaching as well that it is your own personal journey, and no one can really tell you exactly what you will see, feel or experience along the way. It encourages you to embrace this and run with it.
Each workbook helps you understand a little piece of who you are, and how to use what you have most effectively. But put together, they are a powerful tool to take control of your life and it's direction.

Wasps confirmed today that 32-year-old back Lewsey, who won 55 international caps, would quit at the end of the season and McGeechan revealed it had come up when the pair were discussing contracts for next year.
"Josh has got planned what he wants to do and we wish him well," McGeechan said after today's 12-6 victory over Newcastle.
"There aren't many English backs who will go home with the silverware he's collected, with World Cups, 10 trophies with Wasps and a Lions tour.
"He's been hugely significant in English rugby and the same at the club."
Lewsey hopes to bow out with a place on this summer's Lions trip to South Africa and McGeechan, manager of the touring side, insisted that his retirement decision will not affect his chances of being selected.
"I've told him he's got to be playing well first and foremost. I have to look at all the pluses in the squad we want, the mix and how that fits in so there's a bit of sorting still to be done in that respect."

Fiberforge Case Study: Sikorsky Corporation
For much of the time since Igor Sikorsky first tinkered with helicopter design in 1909, the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation has stood for the leading technology in vertical flight. The company's advanced helicopters set standards in the world market, and its swift Blackhawk and Seahawk helicopters have long been the staple of military rotary wing fleets. Over the past century, Sikorsky has made the helicopter practical--it also made it fast and, in some cases, downright amazing.
Sikorsky is developing the next-generation CH-53K helicopter for the U.S. Marines. The CH-53K will be Sikorsky's largest and most powerful helicopter to date, with the capability to carry a cargo load of 27,000 pounds more than 100 nautical miles - performance that is twice the capability of its predecessor. In order to design a helicopter that can perform at this level, Sikorsky engineers have to cut as much weight as possible from the aircraft without adversely affecting the strength needed to withstand the difficult and dangerous conditions of U.S. Marine combat and rescue missions.
To meet the challenge, Sikorsky and subcontractor DRS Technologies have called on Fiberforge to develop a variety of components for the CH-53K, including floor panels, structural beams, pallet roller trays and tie-down elements for the internal cargo system. Fiberforge's patented technology creates highly durable and structural carbon fiber thermoplastic composite parts and gives Sikorsky the ability to lightweight the cargo components of the CH-53K without compromising strength and durability.
This is the first time that Sikorsky has opted to use composites for a cargo flooring application. Traditional thermoset composites, while light and stiff, do not offer the toughness required for a cargo floor that is subject to high impact loads and harsh environmental conditions. Thermoplastic composites are tougher and more damage tolerant but historically haven't been able to be produced cost effectively. Fiberforge's processing technology has simplified and improved the fabrication of thermoplastic composites, enabling companies like Sikorsky to reduce the weight of more components than ever before at a cost comparable to traditional metals.
According to David Meyers, Engineering Manager at DRS Technologies, "For the CH-53K project, we need a thermoplastic cargo floor that is lightweight and durable enough to last 30 to 50 years—we just can't afford for it to wear out prematurely.

A former talent booker at the Wendy Williams Experience show, Nicole Spence, has filed papers towards the husband of Wendy Williams, Kevin Hunter. The former employee went to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission with allegations that Mr. Hunter physically abused his wife, Wendy Williams at the Radio station as well as made sexual advances towards Nicole many times. According to the New York Post: "Mr. Hunter repeatedly sexually propositioned me at work in the most crude and vulgar ways, telling me over and over that he wanted to 'f- - -' me,†Spence charges. I also feared Mr. Hunter because he repeatedly physically assaulted Ms. Williams at or near the WBLS studio,†Spence says in the complaint. In one instance, Mr. Hunter stormed into the studio, demanded that other employees leave and openly physically abused Ms. Williams, pinning her against the wall with his hand around her neck, choking her while repeatedly pounding his fist into the wall directly by her head.†It's looking like Mr. Hunter needs to calm down a little bit. Not only is he being accused of rocking the "wife beater" jersey with his number and name on it, he's playing the game with no pants on as well.  #Say What?! #News & Gossip #Wendy Williams #Kevin Hunter Facebook Twitter Google Plus Share via Email

Comfortable Underground bar and Restaurant with amazing reasonably priced food. They offer a wide range of vegetarian options. I can recommend the enchilada and the mixed Fries as well as the hot Hibiscus lemonade.
The dishes are - very soon on your table! - like home made: no high art, but taste well. The prices allow many student visitors, too! A kind of retro atmosphere...
I quite frequently visit this place with my friends since we've discovered it. Perfect location close to the Library at Kalvin square. Good vibes, cozy atmosphere, medium prices and delicious foods. The service is good and plus point for the hot ginger-honey lemonade, that's fantastic ;) the only thing which could be better is the smell coming occasionally from the... More

Recently went to this restaurant after seeing it was very busy every time we walked backed to our hotel. Food was good. Had the chicken paprikas (have to pay extra for something with it, but not an issue as it was very reasonably priced). Would recommend.
Made our way down on a Thursday night and was drawn in by the prices. Ordered the steaks and chicken strips expecting very small portions but they were spot on! Tastey food! Value for money.
Initial impressions were good: there was lots of outside seating, it was busy and the prices seemed very reasonable. Unfortunately it went downhill quickly. After being ignored for 20 minutes (we weren't greeted and menus are on the tables) despite there being many staff, one of whom was smoking and one on his phone, we had to ask to order.... More
Nice and simple place. Food was tasty, though the portions were a bit small. We did not complain as for the low price it was okay. At the end it turned out that the side dishes were included in the bill separately. That would be alright if anyone informed us about this fact. Nobody did and nobody let us choose... More

This invention relates to substrates covered with a protective coating. More particularly, it relates to improved primers for substrates adapted to receive a silicone resin top coat composition. Curing the top coat with heat forms an adherent protective, abrasion-resistant layer thereon.
Recently, the substitution of glass glazing with transparent materials which do not shatter or are more resistant to shattering than glass, has become widespread. For example, transparent glazing made from synthetic organic polymers is now utilized in public transportation vehicles, such as trains, buses, taxis and airplanes. Lenses, such as for eye glasses and other optical instruments, as well as glazing for large buildings, also employ shatter-resistant transparent plastics. The lighter weight of these plastics in comparison to glass is a further advantage, especially in the transportation industry where the weight of the vehicle is a major factor in its fuel economy.
While transparent plastics provide the major advantage of being more resistant to shattering and lighter than glass, a serious drawback lies in the ease with which these plastics mar and scratch, due to everyday contact with abrasives, such as dust, cleaning equipment and marring results in impaired visibility and poor aesthetics, and oftentimes requires replacement of the glazing or lens or the like.
One of the most promising and widely used transparent plastics for glazing is polycarbonate, such as that known as LEXAN�, sold by General Electric Company. It is a tough material, having high impact strength, high heat deflection temperature, good dimensional stability, as well as being self-extinguishing, and is easily fabricated. Acrylics, such as polymethylmethacrylate, are also widely used transparent plastics for glazing.
Attempts have been made to improve the abrasion resistance of transparent plastics. For example, scratch-resistant coatings formed from mixtures of silica, such as colloidal silica or silica gel, and hydrolyzable silanes in a hydrolysis medium, such as alcohol and water, are known. Misch, U.S. Pat. No. 3,708,225; Clark, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,986,997, 3,986,497, and 4,027,073; Armbuster et al., U.S. Pat. No. 4,159,206; and Ubersax, U.S. Pat. No. 4,177,315 for example, describe such compositions. Improved such compositions are also described in commonly-assigned copending U.S. application Ser. No. 964,911, filed on Nov. 30, 1978; and in copending U.S. application Ser. No. 82,163, filed Oct. 5, 1979.
The application of silicone hard coat materials to LEXAN� and other thermoplastic materials, e.g., poly(methylmethacrylate) is pre-treatment dependent, i.e., it is good practice, if not essential, to prime the substrate. See, for example, Humphrey, U.S. Pat. No. 4,188,451, which uses as a primer, a UV-cured reaction product of a polyfunctional acrylic ester monomer and a silane containing a silicon-bonded unsaturated hydrocarbon radical, and the abovementioned Ser. No. 82,163, which discloses the use of a thermosetting acrylic resin. It is apparent that the current state of the art in primers requires a stoving (i.e., heating) step or a ultraviolet (uv) radiation step for proper performance. The contents of the abovementioned patents and applications are incorporated herein by reference.
It has now been discovered that thermoplastic acrylates can be laid down as primers by flowing, dipping and the like from a unique solvent system and, after simply air drying for 20-45 minutes, top coating with a thermally curable silica filled silicone will produce ultimately articles having a top layer with excellent adhesion, abrasion resistance and moisture resistance.
Accordingly, it is one object of the present invention to provide a novel primer for use with a protective coating resin for solid substrates.
Another object of this invention is to provide articles primed with the new composition which, after application of a silicone resin top coat provide improved abrasion-resistant surfaces thereon.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an improved primer composition coated on a substrate and air dried, especially well suited for top coating with silica sol filled silicone resin compositions.
These and other objects are accomplished herein by providing articles comprising a solid substrate having at least one surface on which is deposited:
(i) a layer of a primer composition; and,
(ii) a layer of a cured top coat containing a colloidal silica filled thermoset organopolysiloxane, said primer composition comprising
(a) from about 2 to about 10 parts by weight of a high molecular weight thermoplastic methacrylic ester polymer or copolymer selected from
(1) polymers and copolymers comprising C1 -C6 alkyl methacrylate;
(2) copolymers comprising C1 -C6 alkyl methacrylates and a reaction product of glycidyl methacrylate and a hydroxy-benzophenone ultraviolet light screening agent;
(3) copolymers comprising C1 -C6 alkyl metacrylates and (A) a reaction product comprising units of methacrylic acid and γ-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane (B) acrylic or methacrylic acid, or (C), a mixture of (A) and (B); or
(4) a mixture of any of the foregoing;
(b) from about 60 to about 90 parts by weight of 2-ethoxyethanol;
(c) from about 10 to about 30 parts by weight of 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone; and
(d) from about 0 to about 20 parts by weight of glacial acetic acid, per 100 parts by weight of (a), (b), (c) and (d) combined.
The primer compositions can be applied to a variety of solid substrates by conventional methods, such as flowing, spraying or dipping to form a continuous surface film. Substrates which are especially contemplated herein are transparent, as well as non-transparent, as well as non-transparent plastics and metals. More particularly, the plastics are synthetic organic polymeric substrates such as acrylic polymers like poly(methylmethacrylate), polyesters, such as poly(ethylene terephthalate), poly(butylene terephthalate), etc., polyamides, polyimides, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers, styrene-acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, poly(vinyl chloride), butyrates, polyethylene and the like. The coated substrates especially contemplated are polycarbonates, such as the poly(bisphenol-A carbonates) known as LEXAN�, sold by General Electric Company, and also injection molded, extruded or cast acrylics, such as poly(methyl methacrylate). Metal substrates for use in the present invention include bright and dull metallized surfaces like sputtered chromium alloys. Other illustrative substrates contemplated herein include wood, painted surfaces, leather, glass, ceramics and textiles.
With respect to the high molecular weight thermoplastic polymers or copolymers to be used in the primer composition, these can be made in known ways and some are commercially available.
The polymers and copolymers of C1 -C6 alkyl methacrylate include, for example, poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(n-butyl methacrylate) poly(methyl-co-butyl methacrylate) and the like. These are made by thermal or peroxide or azo-bis-isobutyronitrile catalyzed polymerization of the corresponding monomer, or mixture of monomers in well known bulk, suspension, emulsion, and the like techniques. In general, the molecular weight should be high, that is, at least 50,000, preferably at least 100,000. The upper limit is not particularly critical. A satisfactory range for most purposes is 100,000 to 250,000. A suitable commercial product is poly(methyl methacrylate) type designation Elvacite 2041, sold by DuPont Co.
A second embodiment (a)(2), includes a copolymerized ultraviolet screen in the acrylate primer. Copolymerization of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone or other hydroxy-functional benzophenone, e.g., 2,2',4,4'-tetrahydroxybenzophenone with methyl methacrylate is achieved by functionalizing the benzophenone first by refluxing with glycidoxy methacrylate and a catalytic amount of a trialkyl amine. When all of the glycidoxy methacrylate has been consumed, the mixture is reduced in volume to remove the catalyst and methyl methacrylate is added. A preferred final ratio of the methacrylated uv screen to acrylate ester is 1:10, by weight. A suitable catalyst (azobisisobutyronitrile) is added and the solution is heated at 80�-120� C. for two hours. Two more portions of the catalysts are added at two hour intervals. Removal of the solvent gives an acrylate copolymer which is useful herein, alone, or in further admixture with poly(methyl methacrylate) homopolymer, etc.
A third embodiment, (a)(3), includes a copolymerized methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane and/or acrylic or methacrylic acid copolymer with a C1 -C6 alkyl methacrylate. To make these, a solution of methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane 1-10 parts and/or acrylic acid or methacrylic acid 1-10 parts, methyl methacrylate 90-99 parts, a catalyst 1-5 parts, and an appropriate solvent, if desired, e.g., benzene, can be heated at 80� C. for 4 hours. A second portion of catalyst can be added and the solution can be heated for another four hours. The solution can be diluted to 2-10 parts of solids per 100 parts of composition, e.g., with 2-ethoxyethanol and 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, and, optionally, acetic acid. If desired, also, poly(methyl methacrylate) homopolymer can be added. Heating, to complete solution, can be used. Filtration prior to use is often desirable.
In embodiments (a)(1) and (a)(3), if the substrate material is photolytically unstable, the addition of ultraviolet screening agents to the primer will prolong the life of the substrate and, thus, the final product. Selected uv screens can be added at 0.5 to 50% of the total solids. Illustrative such screening agents are benzophenones, triazoles, hindered amines, salicylate esters, metal complexes, other known screening and/or free radical quenching agents, and the like.
A two to 10 percent solids solution of the primer composition in the solvents combination (all of which are items of commerce) is applied, e.g., by dipping, flowing or spraying, and the primed substrate is air dried, e.g., for 20-30 minutes, e.g., at 15� to 30� C.
The air dried primed substrate is then flow, dip or spray coated with the silica filled curable organopolysiloxane top coat composition.
The curable top coatings used in this invention comprise generally a dispersion of colloidal silica in an aliphatic alcohol-water solution of the partial condensate of a silanol of the formula RSi(OH)3, wherein R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and aryl, at least 70 weight percent of the silanol being CH3 Si(OH)3, said composition containing 10 to 50 weight percent solids, said solids consisting essentially of 10 to 70 weight percent colloidal silica and 30 to 90 weight percent of the partial condensate. Preferably the composition has a pH of from 7.1 to about 7.8. They are prepared by hydrolyzing a trialkoxysilane or a mixture of trialkoxysilanes by hydrolyzing a trialkoxysilane or a mixture of trialkoxysilanes of the formula R'Si(OR)3, wherein R' is alkyl of from 1 to 3 carbons or aryl, such as phenyl, and R is alkyl, in an aqueous dispersion of colloidal silica.
In the practice of the present invention, suitable aqueous colloidal silica dispersions generally have a particle size of from 5 to 150 millimicrons in diameter. These silica dispersions are well known in the art and commercially available ones include, for example, those sold under the trademarks of Ludox (DuPont) and Nalcoag (NALCO Chemical Co.). Such colloidal silicas are available as both acidic and basic hydrosols. For the purpose of this invention, wherein the pH of the coating compositions is on the basic side, basic colloidal silica sols are preferred. However, acidic colloidal silicas, wherein the pH is adjusted to a basic level, are also contemplated. In addition, it has been found that colloidal silicas having a low alkali content (e.g., Na2 O) yield a more stable coating composition. Thus, colloidal silicas having an alkali content of less than 0.35% (calculated as Na2 O) have been found to be preferable. Moreover, colloidal silicas having average particle size of from 10 to 30 millimicrons are also preferred. A particularly preferred aqueous colloidal silica dispersion for the purposes herein is known as Ludox LS, sold by DuPont Company.
To make the top coat, the aqueous colloidal silica dispersion is added to a solution of a small amount of alkyltriacetoxylsilane in alkyltrialkoxysilane or aryltrialkoxysilane. For the purposes herein, from about 0.07 parts by weight, to about 0.1 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the total composition of the alkyltriacetoxysilane is used. The temperature of the reaction mixture is maintained at about 20� C. to about 40� C., preferably 20� C., to about 30� C., and most preferably below 25� C. It has been found that in about six to eight hours sufficient trialkoxysilane has hydrolyzed so as to reduce the initial two phase liquid mixture to one liquid phase in which the now treated silica (i.e., treated by its admixture with the alkyltrialkoxysilane or aryltrialkoxysilane) is dispersed. In general, the hydrolysis reaction is allowed to continue for a total of about 12 to 48 hours, depending upon the desired viscosity of the final product. The more time the hydrolysis reaction is permitted to continue, the higher will be the viscosity of the product. After the hydrolysis has been completed to the desired extent, the solids content is adjusted by the additional of alcohol, preferably isopropanol or isobutanol to the reaction mixture. Other alcohols which are suitable dilution solvents include lower aliphatic alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, n-butyl alcohol and t-butyl alcohol. Mixtures of such alcohols can be used, too. The solvent system should contain from about 20 to 75 weight percent alcohol to ensure solubility of the partial condensate(siloxanol). Optionally, additional water-miscible polar solvents, such as acetone, butyl cellosolve and the like in minor amounts, like no more than 20 weight percent of the co-solvent system can also be used. The solids content of the top coating composition is generally preferred to be in the range of from about 10 to 25%, most preferably, about 13 to about 20% by weight of the total composition. The pH of the resultant coating compositions of the invention is in the range of from about 3.5 to about 8.0, preferably from about 7.1 to about 7.8, especially preferably higher than 7.2, such as from 7.3 to about 7.5. If necessary, dilute base, such as ammonium hydroxide, or weak acid, such as acetic acid, can be added to the top coating composition to adjust the final pH to this desired range. At these basic pH's the compositions are translucent liquids which are stable at room temperature for at least several weeks. When stored at temperatures below about 5� C. (40� F.) the period of stability is increased even further.
The alkyltriacetoxysilane is used to buffer the basicity of the initial two liquid phase reaction mixtures and thereby also temper the hydrolysis rate. While the use of alkyltriacetoxysilane is preferred herein, glacial acetic acid may be used in its place, as well as other acids such as organic acids like propionic, butyric, citric, benzoic, formic, oxalic and the like. Alkyltriacetoxysilanes wherein the alkyl group contains from 1 to 6 carbon atoms can be used, alkyl groups having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms being preferred. Methyltriacetoxysilane is most preferred for the purposes herein.
The silanetriols, RSi(OH)3, hereinbefore mentioned, are formed in situ as a result of the admixture of the corresponding trialkoxysilanes with the aqueous medium, i.e., the aqueous dispersion of colloidal silica. Exemplary trialkoxysilanes are those containing methoxy, ethoxy, isopropoxy and n-butoxy substituents which, upon hydrolysis, generate the silanetriol and further liberate the corresponding alcohol. In this way, at least, a portion of the alcohol content present in the final coating composition is provided. Of course, if a mixture of trialkoxysilanes is employed, as provided for hereinabove, a mixture of different silanetriols, as well as different alcohols, is generated. Upon the generation of the silanetriol or mixtures of silanetriols in the basic aqueous medium, condensation of the hydroxyl substituents to form ##STR1## bonding occurs. This condensation takes place over a period of time and is not an exhaustive condensation but rather the siloxane retains an appreciable quantity of silicon-bonded hydroxyl groups which render the polymer soluble in the alcohol-water cosolvent. This soluble partial condensate can be characterized as a siloxanol polymer having at least one silicon-bonded hydroxyl group per every three ##STR2## units.
The non-volatile solids portion of the top coating composition herein is a mixture of colloidal silica and the partial condensate (or siloxanol) of a silanol. The major portion or all of the partial condensate or siloxanol is obtained from the condensation of CH3 Si(OH)3 and, depending upon the input of ingredients to the hydrolysis reaction, minor portions of partial condensate can be obtained, for example, from the condensation of CH3 Si(OH)3 with C2 H5 Si(OH)3 or C3 H7 Si(OH)3 ; CH3 Si(OH)3 with C6 H5 Si(OH)3, or even mixtures of the foregoing. For optimum results in the cured coating it is preferred to use all methyltrimethoxysilane (thus generating all monomethylsilanetriol) in preparing the coating compositions herein. In the preferred top coating compositions herein the partial condensate is present in an amount of from about 55 to 75 weight percent of the total solids in a solvent of alcohol and water, the alcohol comprising from about 50% to 95% by weight of the cosolvent.
At low solids content, such as about 13%, it has been found that the polysiloxane polyether copolymers disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 964,911, filed Nov. 30, 1978, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,277,287 incorporated herein by reference, may be employed in the top coating compositions of this invention as flow control additives which assist in the prevention of flowmarks, dirtmarks and the like on the surface of the substrate which is coated. Generally, these polysiloxane polyether copolymers may be employed in amounts of from about 2.5 to about 15% by weight of the total solids of the composition.
The coating compositions of this invention will cure on a substrate at temperatures of, for example, 120� C. without the aid of an added curing catalyst. However, in general, catalyst in the amounts of from about 0.05 to about 0.5 weight percent, preferably about 0.1 weight percent, of the composition can be used. Compositions containing catalysts in these amounts can be cured on a solid substrate in a relatively short time at temperatures in the range of from about 75� C.-150� C. to provide a transparent abrasion resistant surface coating.
By choice of the proper formulation, application conditions and pretreatment of the substrate, the top coatings can be adhered to substantially all primed solid substrates. A hard coating having all of the aforementioned characteristics and advantages is obtained by the removal of the solvent and volatile materials. The top coating composition will air-dry to a tack-free condition, but heating in the range of 75� C. to 200� C. is necessary to obtain condensation of residual silanols in the partial condensate. This final cure results in the formation of silsesquioxane (RSiO3/2). In the finished cured top coating the ratio of RSiO3/2 units to SiO2 will range from about 0.43 to about 9.0, preferably 1 to 3. A cured top coating having a ratio of RSiO3/2 to SiO2, where R is methyl, of 2 is most preferred. Coating thicknesses may vary but for the improved abrasion resistance desired herein, coating thicknesses of 3-10 microns, preferably 5 microns, are utilized.
In order that those skilled in the art may better understand how to practice the present invention, the following examples are given by way of illustration and not by way of limitation.
A top coating composition is prepared by adding 80.1 lbs. of Ludox LS (aqueous colloidal silica dispersion, average particle size of 12 millimicrons, pH 8.2 sold by DuPont) over a period of one-half hour, to a solution of 135 g. of methyltriacetoxysilane in 97.6 lbs. of methyltrimethoxysilane. The temperature of the reaction mixture is maintained between 20� C. and 30� C. The hydrolysis is allowed to proceed over a period of sixteen hours. At this time the reaction mixture is diluted with 182 lbs. of isopropanol. The pH is 7.4; the viscosity is 5.3 centistokes using a calibrated Cannon-Fenske routine type viscometer.
A primer composition is prepared by charging a clean vessel with 76.0 parts by weight of 2-ethoxyethanol, also known as ethylene glycolmonoethylether. To the agitated solution is added 4.0 parts of poly(methyl methacrylate), ELVACITE 2041, MW 250,000. The mixture is heated to 100� C. and agitation is continued for two hours. The solution is cooled to about 30� C., and 20.0 parts of 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, also known as diacetone alcohol, is added. The solids content is 3.8-4.2%; the product is filtered and is ready for use.
Pieces of transparent LEXAN� poly(bisphenol-A carbonate are primed with the acrylic composition by flow coating or dip coating at four inches per minute and allowed to air dry at 20� C. for 20-30 minutes. The primer coating thickness is from 1.5 to 5 micron, respectively, the primed substrates are next dip coated in the top coat composition at two and four inches per minute, allowed to dry for one-half hour and cured one hour at 120� C. The cured coatings are hard, adherent, resistant to moisture and optically clear.
Other acrylates may be used in the primer composition such as poly(n-butyl methacrylate); and selected ultraviolet screening agents or mixtures thereof can also be dissolved in the primer composition.
The procedure of Example 1 is repeated substituting another primer composition according to this invention.
A solution of 1 mole of 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone (UVINUL 400) and 1 mole of glycidoxy methacrylate and a catalytic amount of a trialkylamine is refluxed until reaction is complete. The solution is reduced in volume to remove the catalyst and sufficient methylmethacrylate is added to provide 10 parts by weight per 1 part by weight of reaction product. A catalytic amount of azobisisobutylnitrile is added and the solution is heated at 80�-120� C. for 2 hours; two more portions of catalyst are added at two hour intervals. The solvent is removed and the polymer is dissolved in 60-90% of 2-ethoxyethanol. The final primer solution is made by adding 10-50% of poly(methyl methacrylate), 10-30% of 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone and 5-20% of glacial acetic acid. A 2 to 6 percent solids solution is used to prime LEXAN by dipping or flowing, and it is air dried at about 18� C. for about 20-30 minutes. The air dried primed substrate is then flow or dip coated with a silicone hard coat resin as described in Example 1. A hard, transparent, top coated article is obtained. The primer in this instance incorporates a copolymerized ultraviolet light screen. Copolymerization of the screening material appears to immobilize it, preventing its leaching or diffusion.
The procedure of Example 1 is repeated substituting another primer composition according to this invention.
A solution of methacryloxytrimethoxysilane, 5 parts, methyl methacrylate, 95 parts, and AIBN catalyst, 2.5 parts, and 2-ethoxyethanol solvent, 200 parts, is heated at 80� C. for 4 hours. A second portion of catalyst is added and the solution is heated for another 4 hours. The solution is diluted with 1500-3800 parts of 2-ethoxyethanol and 360-960 parts of 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone to 2-5% solids. Then 100 parts of poly(methyl methacrylate) is added and the composition is heated to complete solution and then filtered prior to use as a primer.
If the procedure is repeated substituting 5 parts of acrylic acid or 5 parts of methacrylic acid for the methacryloxytrimethoxysilane, two other primer compositions for use according to this invention will be obtained.
Obviously, other modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the above teachings. For example, additives and other modifying agents, such as pigments, dyes, flow control agents, thickness, and the like, may be added to the compositions of this invention. It is to be understood, however, that changes may be made in the particular embodiments described above which are within the full intended scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

The HT4100 isn't much of a motor to use for swaps. With it's aluminum block and iron heads, gasket sealing was a major issue. Head and intake gaskets being the worst. It did use a standard BOP bell housing pattern. The 200-4R was used by Cadillac in the rear drive models powered by the HT4100. A standard BOP th350 would work as well. Dan
i figured it would be something interesting. i didnt know anything about the motor until now, and i only know what you told me.
does it have the 8-6-4 ignition system ive heard so many bad things about? after all, the motor runs good, but if its just going to waste my time, i probably wont bother. with the gasket sealing problems: would milling the heads and intake help this problem? i was planning on bumping compression and porting them anyway, so would it be benificial? or should i just hold out for the 500 caddy that i really want? after all, i wanna stick a caddy into my road race inspired javelin. just for sheer oddball points what about a manual bellhousing and transmission? any hope there? with a swap to a 200-4r, will i need to switch torque converters or flywheels? thanks for all the help. mike |
The 8-6-4 system was used on the 368. The 368 was of the same engine family as the 425/472/500. The HT4100 was the first attempt by Cadillac to build a small, light weight, powerful engine. At 250 cubic inches, it's small. The aluminum block made it light. Powerful, it never was.
Head gasket problems started with the different expansion rates of the aluminum block and iron heads. Head gaskets couldn't take the scrubbing action for long. The second major problem was cooling system corrosion. Several ideas have circulated as to why the corrosion was a problem. Electrolysis seems to be what most blame. A once a year flush and fill seems to slow the corrosion quite a bit. You wouldn't want to mill the heads to raise compression. They are a light weight casting to start with, and warp quite easily when the head gasket goes. If you are set on Caddy power, the 425/472/500 are, by far, a better motor to start a high performance build on than a 4100. When running a stick trans behind a Caddy, the flywheel and pilot bushing are the two main issues. If you plan on using a big inch motor, go to this sight for a good explanation of what's needed to convert over to a stick. Dan http://mywebpages.comcast.net/caddyc...arlopage2.html |

A lot of people are focusing on holiday shopping this time of year. Personally, my workload has increased and I haven't given shopping much thought. (I really need to get on that!) But I have thought about my finances and some things I need to do as the year comes to a close. There are tons of year-end money lists out there and they all talk about decreasing taxes, selling investments, and saving for retirement. There are a few other things I like to think about when the year ends.
Evaluate your performance against your goals.
At the beginning of this year (or the end of last year), you made a few financial goals – how much money you wanted to save, what you wanted your gross income to be, to pay off a certain amount of debt, etc. The end of the year is the time to see whether you met those goals or not. Don't beat yourself up if you fell short; maybe your goal was too aggressive or maybe something happened this year that kept you from accomplishing everything. Just take it as a lesson learned and use the information to set your goal for next year.
Organize your receipts.
Boring, but totally necessary. Ideally, you've been categorizing receipts throughout the year. If you fell off the wagon mid-year and starting tossing them all in a shoebox, now's a good time to get them organized again. Categorizing your receipts makes it easier to take tax deductions for certain business expenses like office supplies, internet, equipment purchases, etc. Not only that, knowing what you spent this year will help you make a budget for next year.
Check your insurance coverage.
Now is a good time to review all your insurance policies – life, health, auto, disability – to make sure you have the right amount of coverage. Health insurance may be the only insurance that you can't change right away – because of open enrollment times, but the other insurances typically let you make changes at anytime during the year.
Consider a raise.
Employers rarely increase rates on a "just because" basis and neither should we. If you decide to charge a higher rate next year, make sure you can justify the increase to your future clients. You also have to decide whether the rate goes up for all clients or just new clients. Jenn mentioned this recently, but it's worth repeating – use the writing rate calculator to help you decide what your hourly and per word rate should be if you decide to increase your annual income.
Create a business budget for next year.
Your 2010 receipts will help you figure out where you spent money on your business. Before you spend any money on your freelance writing business in the new year, you should decide how much you're going to spend and what you're going to spend it on. Having a plan in place will cut back on unnecessary spending. You still have to be smart with business expenses, even if they are tax-deductible.

Subject | Oak plugin model |
Date | Tue, 15 May 2012 16:18:31 GMT |
Hi, When we talk about Oak and about where in our stack a particular piece of functionality should be implemented, we often tend to approach the design as a layered stack of components from oak-jcr to oak-core and on to the underlying implementation. Possible extra features are usually presented as either new functionality in one of the existing components or as an extra layer in between or on top of this stack. This linear top-down view of dependencies seriously limits the architectural freedom and potential for extensibility we have. I've brought this up a few times in the context of other discussions, but I wanted to raise it also as a general concept to make sure we're all on the same page. To make this non-layered approach to Oak architecture more obvious, I outlined this idea in a diagram [1] that shows various potential features as pluggable extensions. Such an approach provides a nice third alternative to the kinds of discussions where we've been debating whether a particular feature (like name mapping, query parsing, etc.) should be located in oak-jcr or oak-core. By treating such functionality as pluggable extensions, accessed through well defined service provider interfaces, we get to keep the main Oak API clean and simple (e.g. no need for it to cover concepts like a namespace registry or an abstract query tree) and make the overall system much more modular and easier to customize. Ultimately such extra plugin components may well end up as separate Maven components, but until the related service interfaces and plugin boundaries are well defined it's better to keep all such code together and simply use Java package boundaries to separate them. That's the rationale behind the .oak.plugins package I recently created in oak-core, and I propose that we'll start moving also other pluggable parts (like some of the query bits and applicable parts of the recent security work) there.
