Chainz 2: Relinked is the sequel to Chainz. The game has four modes of play: Classic, Arcade, Puzzle and Strategy. Each uses the core mechanic in a slightly different way. The game is played by rotating colorful chain links to connect them to other links of the same color. When three or more are connected, they are destroyed, and the links from above fall in to fill the space.In the Classic Mode, the player has to fill a progress bar before running out of moves. The boards get tougher as the levels progress, but when you complete a stage, you can always start a new game from that point. The Arcade Mode is the same as Classic with the addition of a time limit for each level. In Puzzle Mode the player must clear the board of links in progressively harder layouts. And in Strategy Mode, the player must fill the progress bar, but each time they rotate a link, two more are spawned. If the board fills before the progress bar is filled, the player loses.
Like the original, the player can earn bonus points by matching links with letters on them and spelling the word CHAINZ. Also, there are new power-ups that help clear links. There is a lightning bolt that removes a complete column and/or row. There is a bomb that destroys links in a radius, and there is the Snowflake, which freezes the board and allows you to make lots of links that collapse all at once for big bonuses. There is, however, the Black Link, which cannot be rotated, and makes for trouble because it takes up valuable space.

Any recs on who to send these to?
I have a few bg 4.0s that need elastic and velcro fixed. I bought the refresher kits and did one but I just don't have the time to finish them. Do you know a mama who does this and does a great job who I can send them to?
Thanks in advance :) |
Bump someone must know.
I'd ask her. She's well known and although it's mostly snap replacement I highly doubt she couldn't do this for you.

Miyamoto vs Lansere
The first final of the day was the girls singles. The match was between the number one seeded Ayumi Miyamoto and the surprise of the tournament. In the first set both players were playing their best game. The game plan was clear for both players, Miyamoto was attacking and Lansere was defending. After Miyamoto won the first set with 6-4, she didn't stop playing her attacking game.
The Russian wasn't able to fight back and lost the second set with 6-1.
Making the final score 6-4 6-1.
After the match she got her prize and thanked the crowd for an amazing week.
Congratulations Ayumi Miyamoto on winning the Dutch Junior Open Girls Sing
Baez vs Donski
When everyone got back on their seat, the boys singles went on the court.
When they walked on the court, music that they choose themselves got played.
The crowd was really big, because this match had all the ingredients to be the best match of the week. The match was played between Sebastian Baez from Argentina and Alexander Donski from Bulgaria. From the first point on the level of tennis was really high. They showed everything they could, long rallies, drop shots and fast ground strokes.
In the first set Donski showed how good his serve was and it looked like he couldn't lose his own service game. Until 4-3 in the first set, Donski was taking the lead with one break.
But Baez started making less mistakes and took over the lead and even won the first set 7-5.
At the start of the second set it looked like the match was going to be decided in a third set.
Donski started off playing really good again, but Baez didn't make any mistakes.
With the confidence Baez got from winning the first set, he kept on going and managed to win the second set with 6-3. Making the final score 7-5 6-3.
Right after winning the match he got his prize. His English was a bit better than the English of our champion in the girls singles, Ayumi Miyamoto.
Congratulations Sebastian Baez on winning the Dutch Junior Open Boys Singles 2016!
Right after the match tournament director Hans Boske received a special prize for his services. After a speech of the praeses of the tennisclub Marko Jan Ducro and trainer and advisor Ronald van der Horst, Hans Boske received a document that thanked him for his long timework for the tournament.
Bergs/ Martineau vs Angele / Tabur
The final of the boys doubles had a high percentage of French players. They were three Frenchman on the court and one Belgian guy, who controls the French language pretty good.
It was a match a lot of people wanted to see. The French and Belgium combination were having a good start with winning the first set with 6-3. At the start of the second set the French duo got back in the game and took a big lead with 5-2. But the Bergs and Martineau didn't want to play a third set and won the second set with 7-5. Making the final score 6-3 7-5.
Congratulations Zizou Bergs and Mattheo Martineau for winning the Dutch Junior Open Boys Doubles 2016!
It was a great week. We hope we see everyone back next year.

Here is another character from the upcoming Disney animated movie "Bolt" which is due to be released November 21st. This next tutorial will show you how to draw Rhino from Bolt step by step. Rhino has a very big name for a very small animal. He is a hamster that spends most of his adventurous life inside of a hamster ball. Because I haven't seen the movie yet there is really not much to say about this animated character. But I can tell you how he is explained from several websites that describe what the story of Bolt is about. Now from what I understand Rhino is Bolt the dog's biggest fan from his syndicated broadcast show. The adventure starts for Rhino when Bolt the dog winds up knocking on his door in New York. Now because he is a big fan of the show he immediately lets him in the house and listens to why he is there. Once he finds out that Bolt is going off on an adventure to get back home to Hollywood and to his master Penny, Rhino automatically volunteers his service to help him on his journey home going on the adventure of a lifetime with his all time favorite super hero. I think that he is a very cute hamster and it is sad that he spends almost the trip in his hamster ball. A member from DragoArt requested this character for a tutorial. I mean what kind of teacher would I be if I didn't fill a request made by one of my fellow artist friends. You will learn how to draw Rhino from "Bolt" step by step. I know you will have fun drawing this adorable character created by Disney. I will be back with more drawing fun in a while so hang in there kids there is more in store.

This letter is to extend our thanks to the gentleman who painted over the graffiti and the ethnic/racial slurs at the railroad overpass on South Church Street.
I don't know who you are, but I do know what you are. May the good Lord reward you with a happy and long-lasting life so that you can continue with your good deeds!
We need more people like you to show our community that hope is not lost, that Hazleton can make a comeback.
Our city belongs to honest, hard-working people like you, not to criminals. We need to eradicate the criminal element for the sake of our innocent children, senior citizens and other law-abiding Hazleton-Americans.
The silent majority needs to wake up. We need to support our police. We also need to support our code-enforcement officials. We need to visit our crime watch groups and offer support.
Criminals come in different colors; some are black, some are white, and some are cinnamon. Nevertheless, honest people also come in different colors. So, the problem is not the color of the skin nor the language that they speak. The problem is personal behavior.
Hazleton must persevere! This is an uphill battle, but together we can save our city. It will take a team effort.
Random acts of kindness like the one you have just performed are remembered forever by concerned citizens and rewarded by our Lord.
Now, if you wish to remain incognito, that is your prerogative; perhaps it is better that way. We don't know you but Jesus knows you.
May God bless you, bless Hazleton and bless the American flag.
Antonio Rodriguez,

Read in the paper today that Casey was taken out of the game last night because "he was so closely marked and wasn't in the game." Garbage. Casey is terrible.
I was shocked that he made the national team. Hopefully the new U.S. coach doesn't make the same mistake.
No kidding. He won't though. He's too old, and Jurgen wants youth and creative players. Conor is not that.
Besides, as soon as Conor got injured and Nyassi started in his stead, the Rapids have looked very good.

I was at the Rapids vs. the NE Revolution. It was an exciting game. One thing that got me mad was that the refs sucked and there was alot of fouls, but I can't argue with that PK the ref gave them. That saved them. I also think that Omar Cummings did not have a really good game.
Wow, massive win for Rapids against D.C.! Lets hope we can keep this form against the games that matter in our conference.

Bank of America said in the report, "Management noted that it typically posts sequential 2Q improvement of 5 to 7 points in its operating ratio, which would indicate a 100.5% to 98.5% operating ratio for 2Q12 from 105.5% in 1Q12. We target a 98.9% operating ratio, a 660 bp improvement. Continuing in its release, the company noted it experienced a slight operating loss in April 2012, thus it would need to post sizeable operational improvement in the second half of the quarter to meet our targets.

ABC's Tapper got "Down and Dirty" to attack Media Matters but hit only himself
Research ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
In a post on his ABC News weblog, ABC correspondent Jake Tapper accused Media Matters for America of "engag[ing] in standards more fit to last-minute political attack ads than to fair and objective journalism." Yet Tapper's post contained the same elements of "last-minute political attack ads" he falsely accused Media Matters of employing.
A November 1 Media Matters item about news reports that have mischaracterized Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s concurring opinion in the 2000 abortion case Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey v. Farmer included Tapper among the journalists who have misrepresented that opinion.
Some news reports have suggested that Alito's vote to strike down the abortion ban indicates that he has a "nuanced" history of opinions on abortion that has included both opposition to, and support for, abortion rights. But Alito's Farmer opinion specifically indicated that he was voting to strike down the abortion ban in question only because he was obligated to follow Supreme Court precedent -- by which he will not be bound if confirmed to the high court -- not because of his own views of the law or of abortion. Media Matters noted several examples of news reports that misrepresented Alito's opinion, including two that appeared on ABC News:
Alito's Farmer opinion was mischaracterized in numerous October 31 television reports. For example, on ABC's Nightline, correspondent Chris Bury cited the decision as evidence that "Judge Alito has come down on different sides" of the abortion issue, without noting that Alito said he was merely following Supreme Court precedent. Similarly, on ABC's World News Tonight, correspondent Jake Tapper cited Farmer as evidence that "in some cases, Alito has voted for abortion rights."
That's the extent of Media Matters' mention of Tapper. In response, on November 1, Tapper wrote an invective-filled blog post aimed at Media Matters:
Being in the mainstream media, one is regularly subject to the slings and arrows of media critics pushing their various political agendas. That's fine; it comes with the territory.
But you as a viewer/reader should know how dishonest this criticism can be.
Here's an example. Media Matters -- a liberal media group -- today is complaining that the opinion Judge Alito handed down in 2000, striking down New Jersey's ban on what abortion opponents call "partial birth abortion" in the Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey v. Farmer decision, "was mischaracterized in numerous October 31 television reports. ... on ABC's World News Tonight, correspondent Jake Tapper cited Farmer as evidence that "in some cases, Alito has voted for abortion rights."
Interesting point. Except they only used half of my quote.
I said: "But in some case Alito has voted for abortion rights previously defined by the Supreme Court."
Interesting point. Except it changes nothing.
The italicized portion of Tapper's quote doesn't change the fundamental problem with what he said; he still inaccurately claimed that "Alito has voted for abortion rights." In fact, in the Farmer case, Alito voted for following Supreme Court precedent, which he is obligated to follow as an appellate judge -- not "for abortion rights," as his opinion clearly explained. Tapper's quote, in full, suggested that Alito is in favor of the rights the Supreme Court has defined. There is no evidence of that; there is only evidence that Alito is in favor of not having his decisions reversed by the Supreme Court.
Thus, the second "half" of Tapper's quote -- which he accuses Media Matters of dishonestly omitting -- does nothing to change the substantive error in his reporting.
But Tapper didn't stop at merely accusing Media Matters of being "dishonest" by omitting a portion of his quote; he continued his attack by resorting to name-calling:
The dishonesty inherent in their truncating my quote may help satisfy their partisan martyrdom and help fill their professional coffers, but it does a disservice to the American people.
I don't intend to make a regular habit of responding to this type of clearly partisan attack from organizations that are clearly all-too-eager to engage in standards more fit to last-minute political attack ads than to fair and objective journalism. (It's the old saying about don't wrestle with a pig; the pig loves it and you just get dirty.)
For the record, the original Media Matters item did not characterize Tapper in any way. It did not criticize him personally. It simply -- and correctly -- pointed out that he mischaracterized Alito's Farmer opinion. In response, Tapper accused Media Matters of being "dishonest," of "view[ing] news through the colored lenses of dogma," of seeking "partisan martyrdom," of resorting to "dishonesty" in order to "fill their professional coffers," and of leveling a "clearly partisan attack."
Incredibly -- and with no hint of irony -- after this stream of insults, Tapper compares Media Matters to a "pig" who "loves" getting others dirty.
It's worth noting that the title of Tapper's blog -- the entire blog, not just his post attacking Media Matters -- is "Down and Dirty."

duvet cover reveal
You guys will be happy to know you won't hear me whining about sewing these two duvet covers anymore.
I'm very happy with how both of the covers turned out, and Thing 1 and Thing 2 just love them (it's a good thing too). They are so bright and cheerful in their room. Best of all, these things are OUT of my craft room. Yesss. Huge weight off my Towering Guilt Pile of Unfinished Projects.
I also sewed up a ruffled pillow sham (the subject of a tutorial coming soon) and the other pillow sham was purchased and then festooned with handmade yo yos.
On a whim I also sewed a couple of quick swiss dot pillow cases to go with the new stuff. I also would like to make a couple of cute accent pillows as finishing touches, but I haven't worked around to that yet. It's on the list.
51 comments:
You guys are so nice. I do like them, but I have to admit I came to the point where I really didn't care if the whole thing was a huge design mistake or not. Their room is small and the pattern scale is pretty large. I just wanted to get it done. So it is nice that I actually do like them!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those are amazing! I love the colors and they are just so bright and fun! I wish they were in MY bedroom! ;-)
Rachel @ Maybe MatildaY'all are so nice. Thanks! I'm glad I could inspire. A basic duvet cover is pretty easy to make with ready-made sheets. And I guess even the zig zag patchwork would not be bad if you did it the right way instead of the hard way like I did. Also the 9 month duvet break is optional.
Robyn, yes, I remember that sweet photo. That my best friend took with a flash in the middle of a dark room full of sleeping children. :-)WOW. These are really cute duvet covers. Really cool for kids. Thanks for sharing. Keep it up.
Your kids duvet covers are really so cute and are perfect for a kid's room. Can you please tell us how can I make them at home or how can I buy them for my kids super king size of duvet.
Thanks in advance!!!

A comparative study of market share models using disaggregate data
Prior research assessing the predictive validity of alternate market share models produced conflicting results and often found that econometric models performed worse than naive extrapolations. However, contributors to IJF's recent issue on market share models suggested that such models are often misspecified, in part because they exclude promotional variables and are estimated on aggregate data. Thus, we used weekly scanner data to assess full, reduced, and naive forms of linear, multiplicative, and attraction specifications across different levels of parameterization. Consistent with specification-based arguments, (1) econometric models were superior to naive models, (2) GLS estimates of attraction models were superior when models were fully specified, (3) OLS estimates of linear models were superior when models omitted important variables, and (4) attraction models predicted best overall. Moreover, in general, unconstrained models yielded superior forecasts relative to constrained models because brand-specific parameters were heterogeneous for the product category tested.

Williams joins Gareth Maule and Adam Warren in committing to the west Wales outfit for next season and beyond.
The news follows Welsh internationals Ken Owens and Aaron Shingler signing new contracts earlier this season and with Phil John and Emyr Phillips also staying on, it is good news for head coach Simon Easterby.
He said: "These are important signings for us and there is a very strong foundation being retained here at the Scarlets in terms of experience, quality and flair.
"Add the eight players that we have signed going forward so far this season to a squad list that includes international class players like Jon Davies, Rhys Priestland, Liam Williams, Gareth Owen and Rob McCusker and we have a lot to be positive about.
"To have secured key players like Ken Owens and Scott Williams with the value and profile they have both inside and outside Wales shows that wherever possible, we are committed to retaining our best talent."
Carmarthenshire born centre Williams has played all his rugby in the Scarlets region, joining from Newcastle Emlyn and playing for Whitland RFC and Llanelli RFC. He has since appeared 52 times for the Scarlets, went to the 2011 World Cup with Wales and has been part of the national squad which has secured back-to-back Six Nations triumphs.
"I am delighted to be staying at the Scarlets - I wouldn't want to play my rugby anywhere else and it was important to me to be part of this region having grown up with Scarlets rugby," said the 22-year-old.
"The team has shown its determination and ability this season and to be in the race for the play-offs in the PRO12 means everything to the players and supporters at Parc y Scarlets."
During the international windows, fellow centres Maule and Warren have been at the heart of the push for a play-off place. They too, have both been rewarded with new deals.
Maule, who has captained the region, moved from the Newport Gwent Dragons in May 2009 and has appeared 88 times for the Scarlets, scoring 10 tries.
Warren meanwhile, made his Scarlets debut against Aironi in 2011 and a brilliant first season in regional rugby saw him earn an international debut for Wales against the Barbarians in June of last year.
Maule said: "It is really important to me to be part of the Scarlets going forward.
"There's a great spirit and determination in this region and we're a close-knit squad of players at Parc y Scarlets who are determined to achieve success."

Maytag dishwasher, no lights on, won't start
Model Number: MDB4651AWS Brand: Maytag Age: 1 - 5 years
Our dishwasher suddenly stopped working. Right before it went out, pushing the buttons to change cycles would not work well (intermittent). We have verified power is getting to the top of the unit, and have replaced the door switch. Still no power (lights), although testing with meter showed power going to the top. Have debated whether to replace the control panel ($100 plus) or the electrical control board ($75 plus), hopefully not both. Only 2 years old- the dishwasher that is- please help! Related Models |

Most likely the problem is a bad control panel, but there is a small chance for the control board to be bad as well. Unfortunately there is no way check them instrumentally.

I was able to find the following tech sheet
http://www.servicematters.com/maytag...s/16026393.pdf It has the pin outs for the keypad so you can check the buttons with a meter. If it checks OK then I would replace the control board first. Still a bit of a crap shoot but your odds of getting the correct part first time are a little better. I would try the following first: Unplug the unit Open it up Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board. Clean the edge connector. If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive. Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here. Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates. Reconnect everything and give it a try.

Madison Heights
Madison Heights aims to upgrade all signs by November
New MDOT grant will help defray significant capital costs
By Andy Kozlowski
Posted September 25, 2013
MADISON HEIGHTS — More than 3,700 signs are being updated in Madison Heights to meet new federal standards for lettering size, font case and reflectivity, ensuring they're readable from a distance and visible even in low-light conditions.
This is especially key since, according to the Federal Highway Transportation Administration (FHWA), half of all traffic fatalities occur during nighttime hours, even though only one-quarter of all travel occurs at night.
Madison Heights has been diligently working on the project since the new standards were adopted in 2007. As of 2010, the Department of Public Services had replaced nearly 50 percent of the city's overall signage. Now, they're in the final stretch, expected to wrap all sign work this November.
The project comes at a significant capital cost of nearly $286,600. Fortunately, the city recently secured a grant through the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to help cover the costs. Along with a local match of $18,600, the city has the nearly $93,000 needed to cover the last leg of the project.
Madison Heights City Council approved the agreement between the city and MDOT at their meeting Sept. 9. The lone dissenting vote was Councilman Brian Hartwell.
"The new signs will show clearer and more defined," said Madison Heights City Manager Ben Myers. "The work is all being done in-house, with no contractual labor — it's all city personnel doing the work. The cost is primarily two things: the steel posts for the signage — roughly one-third of the cost — and the signs themselves."
The application for the grant was submitted in July and approved in August. It was preceded by a three-year period in which the city took stock of non-compliant signs and figured out the engineering needs of the project. Among the supporting documentation required by the state was a map of the city showing all locations for sign upgrades.
"We've already received compliments from residents about the improved visibility," Myers said. "We also have the vertical strips we put along the posts under the stop signs, yield signs and school crossings. They're color-coordinated with the signs. I think those are also making a difference."
Joseph Vitali Jr., the public works supervisor, said the MDOT grant is good timing.
"We are very fortunate to have secured this grant funding to assist the city in virtually completing all of the sign upgrading that is required," Vitali said in an email. "One note: The DPS … is a very busy department, maintaining over 3,700 signs on a daily basis prior to this federal mandate."
Myers also thanked MDOT.
"I'm pleased we've gotten the supplemental funding to finish the last bit of work," Myers said. "We have considered this a priority, from a safety standpoint."

The findings may be an argument for developing synthetic compounds rather than saying "smoke pot for pain", said one researcher. But they also suggest that people smoking marijuana for medical reasons are "experiencing pain relief", not just enjoying a high, he said. Marijuana's role in easing pain was a key issue in California's hotly contested vote last year to allow doctors to recommend it for patients such as cancer or Aids sufferers.
Supporters claim it relieves the symptoms of pain and nausea without the addictive side-effects of opiates. The new studies will only add fuel to the controversy, at a time when some opponents of medical marijuana in the US have grudgingly conceded that there should at least be studies of its possible effects. Some results suggested that cannabinoids may relieve the symptoms both of arthritis and hyperalgesia, extreme sensitivity to pain linked to nerve diseases and spinal cord injuries. Researchers from the University of California at San Francisco, from Brown University and the University of Michigan, reported their findings at a meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in New Orleans. They were based on animal studies using THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, and a synthetic cannabinoid, WIN 55212.
The studies showed that "substances similar to or derived from marijuana, known as cannabinoids, could benefit the more than 97 million Americans who experience some form of pain every year," the Society of Neuroscience said in a press release. They have a "direct effect on pain signals in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues," and "could be manipulated to form a new type of pain reliever".
At San Francisco, the research included measuring pain suppression in rats by seeing how long it took them to remove their tails from an "uncomfortable heat source". Injections of less than a tenth of a millionth of an ounce caused a profound loss of pain sensitivity. At the University of Michigan, similar experiments were conducted on three rhesus monkeys, confirming that after a dose of cannabinoids they were slower to remove their tails from a tub of water kept at 50 degrees Celsius. But along with these simple observations, researchers also monitored the biochemical reactions involved. The research suggests cannabinoids can, like morphine, reduce pain in two different ways, said Dr Barton Manning of UC San Francisco.
Firstly, they can directly suppress neurons in the peripheral and central nervous system that convey pain information from the body to the brain. But they can also "talk" to pain-transmission neurons in the spinal cord and influence the number of pain signals that are allowed to reach the brain.

what can I say 8", 2gb ram, 16gb internal, smoking dual core cpu that keeps up 100% with a s4 snapdragon... very sturdy and well built... nice battery life...
well im a seasoned Linux and Android user. this tablet is amazing for the money. honestly its a stable and snappy as a brand new gen ipad if not more so. just as fast as my nexus 7 2013 but way less buggy.
end result if your not needing a 100% root method and custom roms this is the best budget tablet alive... I have to have root for romtoolbox pro and titanium backup... so for me root is a must have...
no proper root available yet, and probably never any roms will be available... you can root the 4.2.2 if you don't update it but even then I saw some users still couldn't get root properly... and as I said definitely no custom roms...
these aren't cons to a basic user... but they are a massive deal breaker for me, but the one I bought wasn't for me so no biggy...

August 2nd, 2006: For Better or For Worse has started animating some of their strips when they're posted online. This seems to be almost entirely limited to making the characters blink; the result is supremely creepy. Instead of being like photographs, the panels instead become visions of our favourite characters trapped in temporal amber, screaming with mouths that cannot move, their remaining strength, marshalled, good only for a occasional flutter of eyelids, their humanity and their will to life reduced to its cruellest parody.
I think that the word I am reaching for is "unsettling", but a new instance of the word, a more powerful incarnation capable of rendering this animation, this - this blinking in only a few syllables while maintaining all of its unholy power. This would be a word whispered only accidentally while telling ghost stories, and as it hung moist in the air all conversation would cease, and suddenly we would become aware of our own breathing, of how the fire seemed colder, of how the roasted marshmallows began taste like chalk in our mouths, and of the sudden strange, unfriendly beating of our hearts. My new book Romeo and/or Juliet is out now!! It's my choose-your-own-path version of the Shakespeare play featuring tons of great illustrations. Check it out!!

Documents revealing that General Motors tested the Suzuki SJ410 but decided not to sell it in the US because of fears that it was unstable could affect a damages claim in the High Court in Britain.
The SJ410 was already on sale in Britain when it was tested by General Motors in 1982-83. Suzuki continued to sell both this and later models and has now sold more than 50,000 in Britain and over 1 million worldwide. Although built for cross-country travel they have become popular with town-dwellers.
The decision by General Motors has come to light in a US case where Suzuki is being sued by the victim of an accident in Georgia in which one of the vehicles turned over in a collision.
The evidence produced by lawyers acting for Fati Malautea, could affect a similar lawsuit in Britain where a woman left partially paralysed after a roll-over accident in Oxfordshire is claiming damages from the company.
Tracy Bishop, 22, of Thame, Oxfordshire, was driving her father's SJ410 in 1987 when it went out of a control on a bend and turned over into a ditch. Miss Bishop is suing Suzuki for damages, alleging that the company designed and built a dangerously unstable vehicle. Her lawyers also say that the SJ410 had an inadequate roll-bar. The claim should be heard in the High Court next year.
Miss Bishop can walk for short distances on crutches but still needs to use a wheelchair for longer journeys. She said: 'The accident has changed my life totally.'
Suzuki was fined by the US judge for trying to conceal evidence in the case. A default judgment was entered against the company which means that, unless its appeal against this is successful, all that remains is for a jury to decide what damages the plaintiff should be awarded.
The ruling by Judge S Avant Edenfield stated: 'It is clear that General Motors decided initially not to market the SJ410, or actually the improved model known as the SJ413, because of the perceived rollover problem and that at least by 1984 Suzuki was aware of GM's reason for this decision.
'This evidence clearly establishes that in the early 1980s GM discussed the possibility of marketing a Suzuki sports utility vehicle in the United States but abandoned this idea because of a perceived rollover problem.
'When the plaintiff asked Suzuki to provide information about these discussions, Suzuki deliberately withheld this information . . . The court simply does not find it credible that no one at Suzuki was aware of the communications between Suzuki and GM.
'The GM materials suggest that Suzuki was aware that the SJ410 had a propensity to roll over and that Suzuki knew that certain design changes were necessary to correct this problem.'
Suzuki disputes the judge's ruling. In a statement it said: 'Suzuki never offered the SJ410 to GM for sale in the continental United States. GM reviewed that vehicle as part of a larger discussion about developing a new vehicle with Suzuki for the United States market.
'Significantly, GM has never determined that either the SJ410, the Samurai or any other Suzuki vehicle is defective in any respect. GM did not, at any point, conduct dynamic tests on the SJ410 for rollover stability.'

A second Latina in the Legislature?
With her Republican primary win this week, Jessie Rodriguez could become the second Latina in the state Assembly and the first Republican Hispanic.
Rodriguez, a political newcomer, beat out four other Republicans to get the nomination for the District 21 seat being vacated by Mark Honadel, a South Milwaukee Republican.
Rodriguez will face another political newcomer, Elizabeth Coppola, in the Nov. 19 election. Coppola was elected to the board of the Social Development Commission in the spring but resigned her seat to run for the Assembly.
Rodriguez is the outreach coordinator for Hispanics for School Choice.
Her husband, Aaron Rodriguez, has been an officer in Hispanics for School Choice. He's a paramedic with the Racine Fire Department and writes for El Conquistador. He also blogged as the Hispanic Conservative.
His blog The Red Fox now runs as part of the Journal Sentinel's Purple Wisconsin community blog project.
Jessie Rodriguez was born in El Salvador and moved to the U.S. with her family in 1986 in the midst of that country's civil war, according to her Facebook page.
She graduated from Hamilton High School, then enrolled at Marquette University, where she received a degree in communications studies.
The couple live in Franklin with their young son.
Democratic state Rep. JoCasta Zamarripa, who represents Milwaukee's south side was the first Latina elected to the Assembly and only the second Hispanic to serve in the Legislature.

United States Patent ()ffice ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Soluble polyimides and solutions thereof, of pyromellitic dianhydride or 3,4,3 ,4 -benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride and 2,4-diaminoisopropylbenzene, said polylrlnidels being useful in coating compositions, as films, and t e i e.
RELATED APPLICATION The present application is a continuation-in-part of copending application Ser. No. 660,930 (filed Aug 16, 1967) and now abandoned which is in turn a continuation of application Ser. No. 323,232, filed Nov. 13, 1963 and now abandoned.
SUMMARY The polyimides of the present invention are characterrzed by a recurring unit having the following structural formula where R is and R is isopropyl, and the arrows denote isomerism.
These polyimides display outstanding physical and chemical properties which make them very useful as shaped structures such as self-supporting films, fibers, filaments and the like or for coating other materials. The structures are characterized by high tensile properties, desirable electric properties and surprising stability to heat and Water. These polyimides have been found to be soluble to the extent of at least 5% in the well-known polyamide solvents, e.g., the N,N-dialkylcarboxylamide class of solvents and the like. Hence, these polyimides can be used in solution as coating compositions and in the formation of shaped articles by direct methods.
The polyimides are prepared by reacting 2,4-diaminoisopropylbenzene with pyromellitic dianhydride or 3,4,3 4 -benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride in an organic solvent for at least one of the reactants, the solvent being inert to the reactants, preferably under anhydrous con- Patented Dec. 8, 1970 0 I'll HI HO OH Where R and R are as hereinbefore defined.
It should be understood that it is not necessary that the polymeric component of the composition be composed entirely of the polyamide-acid. This is particularly true since conversion to the polyimide is contemplated subsequently. Furthermore, in determining a specific time and a specific temperature for forming the polyamide-acid of a specified diamine and a specified dianhydride, several factors must be considered. The maximum permissible temperature Will depend on the diamine used, the dianhydride used, the particular solvent, the percentage of polyamide-acid desired and the minimum period of time that one desires for the reaction. For the combination of diamine and dianhydrides given above, it is possible to form compositions of polyamide-acid by conducting the reaction below 100 C. However, temperatures up to C. may be tolerated to provide acceptable compositions. The limiting factor may only be the boiling point of the solvent.
The degree of polymerization of the polyamide-acid and/or polyimide is subject to deliberate control. The use of equal molar amounts of the reactants under the prescribed conditions provides polymers of very high molecular weight. The use of either reactant in large excess limits the extent of polymerization. Besides using an excess of one reactant to limit the molecular weight of the polymer, a chain terminating agent such as phthalic anhydride may be used to cap the ends of the polymer chains.
In the preparation of the polymer, it is essential that the molecular weight be such that the inherent viscosity of the polymer is at least 0.1, preferably 0.3-5.0. The inherent viscosity is measured at 30 C. at a concentration of 0.5% by weight of the polymer in a sutiable solvent, e.g. N,N-dirnethylacetamide. To calculate inherent viscosity, the viscosity of the polymer solution is measured relative to that of the solvent alone.
Inherent viscosity Viscosity of solution Viscosity of solvent C where C is the concentration expressed in grams of polymer per 100 milliliters of solution. As known in the polymer art, inherent viscosity is directly related to the molecular weight of the polymer.
The quantity of organic solvent used in the process need only be sufficient to dissolve enough of one reactant, preferably the diamine, to initiate the reaction of the diamine and the dianhydride. It has been found that the most successful results are obtained when the solvent represents at least 60% of the final solution. That is, the solution should contain 5.040% of the polymeric component.
The normally liquid organic solvents of the N,N-dialkylcarboxylamide class are useful as solvents in this solution polymerization process. The preferred solvents are N,N-dimethylformarnide and N,N-dirnethylacetamide. They may easily be removed from the polyamide-acid and/or polymeric shaped articles by evaporation, displacement or diffusion. The solvents can be used alone and in mixtures. Alone or in mixtures, it has been found that natural logarithm these same solvents will also dissolve the specified polyimides to the extent of at least 5% at 25 C.
If the compositions still contain polyamide-acid, they may be converted to the respective polyimide compositions by any one or more of several processes. One process comprises converting the polyamide-acid polymer to polyimide by heating above 50 C. Heating serves to convert pairs of amide and carboxylic acid groups to imide groups. Heating may be conducted for a period of a few seconds to several hours. It has been found that after the polyamide-acid has been converted to the polyimide in accordance with the above described heat conversion and if it is not desired to obtain the polyimide dissolved in a solvent directly, if the polyimide is further heated to a temperature of 300500 C. for a short interval seconds to 2 minutes), improvements in the thermal and hydrolytic stabilities of the polyimide are obtained as well as an increase in inherent viscosity.
The preferred process for converting polyamide-acid to the corresponding polyimide is a chemical treatment and involves treating the polyamide-acid composition with a dehydrating agent alone or in combination with a tertiary amine, e.g. acetic anhydride or an acetic anhydridepyridine mixture. The polyamide-acid composition is treated in solution with the acetic anhydride-pyridine mixture. The ratio of acetic anhydride to pyridine may vary from just above zero to infinite mixtures. It is believed that the pyridine functions as a catalyst for the action of the cyclyzing agent, the acetic anhydride. In this way, the polyimide in solution is obtained directly.
Besides acetic anhydride, lower fatty acid anhydrides and aromatic monobasic acid anhydrides can be used. The lower fatty acid anhydrides include propionic, butyric, valeric, mixed anhydrides of these with one another and with anhydrides of aromatic monocarboxylic acids, e.g. benzoic acid, naphthoic acid, etc., and with anhydrides of carbonic and formic acids, as well as aliphatic ketones (ketone and dimethyl ketone). The preferred fatty acid anhydrides are acetic anhydride and ketone. Ketones are regarded as anhydrides of carboxylic acids, (ref. Bernthsen-Sudborough, textbook of Organic Chemistry, Van Nostrand 1935, page 861 and Hackhs Chemical Dictionary, Blakiston 1953, page 468) derived from drastic dehydration of the acids.
The aromatic monobasic acid anhydrides include the anhydride of benzoic acid and those of the following acids: o-, mand p-toluic acids; mand p-ethyl benzoic acids; p-propyl benzoic acid; p-isopropyl benzoic acid; anisic acid; 0-, mand p-nitro benzoic acids; o-, mand p-halo benzoic acids; the various dibromo and dichloro benzoic acids; the tribromo and trichloro benzoic acids; isomeric dimethyl benzoic acids, e.g., hemellitic, 3,4-xylic, isoxylic and mesitylenic acids; veratric acid; trmethoxybenzoic acid; alphaand beta-naphthoic acids; and biphenylcarboxylic (i.e. p-phenyl benzoic) acid; mixed anhydrides of the foregoing with one another and with anhydrides of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids, e.g. acetic acid, propionic acid, etc., and with anhydrides of carbonic and formic acids.
Tertiary amines having approximately the same activity as the preferred pyridine may be used in the process. These include isoquinoline, 3,4-lutidine, 3,5-lutidine, 4- methyl pyridine, 3-methyl pyridine, 4-isopropyl pyridine, N-dimethyl benzyl amine, 4-benzyl pyridine, and N-dimethyl dodecyl amine. These amines are generally used from 0.3 to equimolar amounts with that of the anhydride converting agent. Trimethyl amine and triethylene diamines are much more reactive, and therefore are generally used in still smaller amounts. On the other hand, the following operable amines are less reactive than pyridine: 2-ethyl pyridine, 2-methyl pyridine, triethyl amine, N- ethyl morpholine, N-methyl morpholine, diethyl cyclohexylamine, N-dimethyl cyclohexylamine, 4-benzoyl pyridine, 2,4-lutidine, 2,6-lutidine and 2,4,6-collidine, and are generally used in larger amounts. As stated previously,
the amine functions as a catalyst for the action of the cyclyzing agent, the anhydride.
As a third process of conversion, a combination treatment may be used. The polyamide-acid may be partially converted to the polyimide in a chemical conversion treatment and then cyclization to the polyimide may be completed by subsequent heat treatment.v
The presence of polyimide is apparent if the polyamideacid compositions are scanned with infrared during conversion to the polyimide. The spectra initially show a predominating absorption band at ca. 3.1 microns due to the NH bond. This band gradually disappears and as the reaction progresses, the polyimide absorption bands appear, a doublet at ca. 5.64 and 5.89 microns and a peak at 13.85 microns. When conversion is completed, the characteristic polyimide band predominates.
The polyimide compositions may be stored at this point for later use or they may be immediately used to form shaped articles. The polyimide solutions of this invention have several advantages over solutions of polyimide precursors, e.g., polyamide-acids, polyamide-esters, etc. There is no fear that they will convert to polyimide upon storage and, thus, precipitate out of solution. Since these solutions involve soluble polyimides, the conditions of storage, shipping, handling, etc. are not very critical. Yet the polyimides as shaped articles, coatings, etc. display the excellent properties of polyimides, i.e. thermal stability, hydrolytic stability, strength, etc.
The final shaped article may consist of the polyimide alone or as a blend with other polymers and/or modified with inert materials. Depending on their nature, the inert materials may be added before or after shaping. For example, fillers such as pigments, electrically conductive carbon black and metal particles, abrasives, dielectrics and lubricating polymers may be added conveniently to the polymer in solution before shaping. Certain abrasives and electrically conductive materials are better added as surface layers. A cellular form or foam of the polyimide may be produced by adding a conventional blowing agent to the polymer solution either alone or in combination with a filler, followed by heating to decompose the agent. Alternatively, cellular products can be made by dispersing bubbles (or air, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc.) into a solution of the polyimide before shaping.
Instead of being shaped itself, the polyimide solution can be used as a coating composition. The liquid coating composition containing the polymer, either alone or modified by the addition of fillers and/or foaming agents, may be applied by any of the usual techniques (doctoring, rolling, dipping, brushing, spraying) to a great variety of substrates. Such substrates include copper, brass, aluminum, steel, and other metals in the form of sheets, fibers, wires screening; mineral structures such as asbestos; glass in the form of sheets, fibers, foams, fabrics, etc.; polymeric materials such as cellulosic materials (cellophane, wood, paper, etc.) polyolefins (polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, etc.); polyesters (polyethylene terephthalate, etc.), polyamides, other polyimides, perfluorocarbon polymers (polytetrafluoroethylene, copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene with hexafluoropropylene, etc.), polyurethanes, in the form of sheets, fibers, foams, woven and non-woven fabrics, screening, etc.; leather sheets; etc. The polymeric substrates can be metallized before coating, or treated with a conventional adhesive or other agent to improve surface receptivity. Films of the polyimide can be laminated to any of the above substrates, often with the aid of a commercially available adhesive.
The invention will be more clearly understood by referring to the examples which follow, Example 1 representing the best mode contemplated for practicing the invention. It is understood that the examples, although illustrating specific embodiments of the present invention, should not be considered limitative of the invention.
In the examples, inherent viscosity is measured at room templerature on a 0.5% solution in N,N-dimethylformam1 e.
Thermal stability is determined by heating a sample of the polymer in dry air from room temperature to 400 C. at a steady rate of 3 C. per minute and measuring the percent weight loss. A percent weight loss of less than 10% is considered good. A percent weight loss of less than is considered excellent.
Electrical resistivity is measured by a method similar to that of ASTM method D25754T, using equipment modified in conventional ways to provide for measuring low resistivities:
A piece of film 2.5 x 3.5 cm. is used for the test. Silver electrodes are applied on top and bottom of the film to a distance of 0.5 cm. from each of the long ends. This gives a square of film 2.5 cm. x 2.5 cm. between the electrodes. The resistance between the electrodes is then measured by attaching the leads from at Simpson meter to each end of the film. This gives the resistance in ohms/square. The electrical resistivity is found by multiplying this value by the film thickness expressed in centimeters to give the units ohm-cm.
Methods for determining dielectric constant and dissipation factor are described in an ASTM method entitled Tests for Dielectric Constant of Electrical Insulation (Dl50). They are measured at room temperature (23 C.).
Example 1 To a solution of 3.75 grams (.025 mole) of 2,4-diamino isopropylbenzene in 36.8 grams of freshly distilled N,N-dimethylformamide is added 5.45 grams (.025 mole) of pyromellitic dianhydride. The dianhydride is added as a dry powder intermittently over a period of about 30 minutes. Adequate stirring is provided to mix the increasingly more viscous reaction mixture, and a slight rise in temperature is noted. As the last 2 grams of the dianhydride are added, the solution becomes extremely viscous and difficult to stir. At this point, an additional grams of N,N-dimethylformamide is added, thus, yielding a 20% solids solution. The resulting polymer, predominantly polyamide-acid, has an inherent viscosity of 1.32 when measured at room temperature as a 0.5% solution in N,N- dimethylformamide. This polymer is converted in solution to the corresponding polyimide by the addition of a mixture of 5.1 grams of acetic anhydride and 5 ml. of pyridine. The resulting polyimide has an inherent viscosity of 1.17 and a solubility in N,N-dimethylf0rmamide at 20 C. of greater than 10%. This polyimide solution is cast into a film having good physical properties as shown below:
Tensile modulus (p.s.i.) 328,000 Elongation (percent) 13.7 Tensile strength (p.s.i.) 11,600 Dielectric constant (1000 c.p.s.) 3.3
Dissipation factor (1000 c.p.s.) 0.006-0.016 Electrical resistivity (ohm-cm.) 10 Thermal stability (percent weight loss) 4.5
Example 2 A film of the polyimide prepared substantially according to the procedure of Example 1 is redissolved in N,N- dimethylformamide and recast as a film. The polymer, after being redissolved has an inherent viscosity of 0.74. The film properties are substantially those presented for Example 1. The polyimide is also soluble in N,N-dimethylacetamide.
Example 3 The procedure of Example 1 is generally followed except 3,4,3,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride is substituted for the pyromellitic dianhydride. The resulting polyimide is soluble in N,N-dimethylacetamide at 20 C. to the extent of at least 5% Example 4 The solubility of the polypyromellitimide of Example 1 (derived from 2,4-diaminoisopropylbenzene) in dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and dimethylforamide (DMF) was demonstrated by treating film samples thereof of about /2- inch x /z-inch dimension with about 2 ml. of the indicated solvents at room temperature. Each test sample was found to be readily soluble at room temperature with stirring in each of DMAC and DMF.
The same solubility experiments were repeated using control samples of film of the polypyromellitimide of 4,6- dimethyl-l,3-diaminobenzene (a xylene diamine). The control samples were insoluble in both DMAC and DMF at room temperature, and the same control samples were also insoluble in these solvents when heated to 60 C.
What is claimed is:
1. A shapeable polyimide polymer consisting essentially of recurring units of wherein R is a tetravalent aromatic radical of the group consisting of @i (l ft and R is isopropyl, the polymer having an inherent viscosity of about 0.1 to 5.0 when measured on a 0.5 percent by weight solution of said polymer in N,N-dimethylformamide at 30 C., said polyimide polymer being. soluble in N,N-dimethylformamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide to at least 5 percent by weight at 25 C.

Good race & time Scott. Make sure you take sufficient easier days after that effort - even marathon pace for 21 ks is a tough workout.
This comment has been removed by the author.
You know I was thinking of you at the 16K mark when I was just off pace for a PB! Thinking about what you said, and thought. "Damn you Ewen why are you making me run so hard!?" ;)
Congrats! Lucky the rain held off.
Hey Scott. It was great seeing you at Wakayama. Super race, and all that. And thanks for the cameo in your vid, lol. Angel

LOS ANGELES -- Coming off of a game in which their offensive line struggled, the UCLA Bruins can't be too excited to be facing one of the nation's top defensive linemen.
But the schedule says Utah will play UCLA at the Rose Bowl Saturday at noon Pacific, so the Bruins will have to figure out a way to deal with the Utes and nose tackle Star Lotulelei.
Despite getting double- and triple-teamed just about every play, Lotulelei, a 6-4, 320-pound senior, has a team-high five tackles for a loss and has forced two fumbles. He is the leader of a strong Utah defensive front that uses as many as 12 players and will switch from a 4-3 to a 3-4 throughout the game.
"The guys that stand out to you are really their defense," UCLA coach Jim Mora said. "They play physical, they play hard. Lotulelei, their nose tackle, is one of the best defensive linemen I've seen in a long, long time. He's just a force."
Lotulelei, the 2011 Morris Trophy winner as the top defensive lineman in the Pac-12, helps make Utah's defense formidable. The Utes (2-4, 0-2 Pac-12) are third in the Pac-12 in total defense, giving up 350 yards per game. They have given up only 114.8 yard rushing per game, a stat that has them ranked No. 35 in the nation in that category. It's going to be a challenge for a UCLA offensive line that had a poor showing against California, which got five sacks, eight tackles for a loss and held UCLA to 128 yards rushing -- almost 100 yards below the Bruins' season average.
"This will be a good challenge for us, especially up front with our young offensive line going up against these guys," Mora said. "It'll be a real challenge so we've got to have a good week of practice and stay focused and come out and play as well as we can."
Defending the Utah offense doesn't appear to be nearly as much of an issue. The Utes lost starting quarterback Jordan Wynn in the second game of the season and have not been able to find a consistent groove under replacement Jon Hays. Utah is No. 114 in the nation in total offense with 299.4 yards per game and is averaging only 17.5 points per game in two conference games.
Take away the first three minutes of the USC game last week, when the Trojans gift-wrapped Utah touchdowns with a pair of fumbles inside the USC 15-yard line, and Utah has scored only 21 points in two Pac-12 games. The Utes are No. 108 in the nation in rushing offense and No. 100 in passing offense.
Running back John White, thought to be among the top returning running backs in the conference after a 1,519-yard season last year, has 301 yards this season and had his only 100-yard game in the season opener against Northern Colorado, an FCS school.
Since the career-ending injury to Wynn, the Utes have shown a reluctance to pass and Hays has yet to top 200 yards passing in a game. He passed for 160 yards last week against USC and 117 the week before against Arizona State. Still, Mora said the Utah passing attack features a deep group of receivers led by Dres Anderson (13 catches, 163 yards) and Kenneth Scott, who is averaging 19.6 yards per catch.
"Offensively, it's probably the deepest group of receivers that we've seen," Mora said. "They've got a bunch of guys that can make plays and they're all efficient at what they do."
The Utah defense, however, poses the biggest challenge for UCLA.
"They get after it," Mora said. "And when you watch the film, that front is impressive. I heard about Lotulelei but I had never seen him play. I saw him play on TV and then when I turned on the film the other day, you want to turn it off after about 10 plays. He was a force so we've got to figure out how to deal with him."

Back to War in Gaza; No cease-fire!
Israel to intensify and expand killing in Gaza after Hamas "rejects" ceasefire ~ link ~ The whole thing was a Netanyahu PR stunt ... the Egyptians are headed by a Jewish general/President and served up a nice PR stunt for the Israeli warhawks. The Israelis only announced the "ceasefire proposal acceptance" after Hamas had already rejected it. Stirling
A top Hamas official in Cairo said the Islamist movement was still considering the plan. But Hamas' armed wing rejected the ceasefire, saying its battle with Israel would "increase in ferocity and intensity".
Despite Hamas' wing opposing the ceasefire, Palestinian officials say they still may hold talks with Egyptian intelligence in an effort to resolve the conflict, Israeli media report.
Israeli air raids kill 4 Syrians in the Golan Heights ~ link ~ This is the important area to watch. This is where Israel intends to widen the war to Syria/Iraq/Iran, to a General Middle East War ... a war that is apt to become World War III. Stirling
warplanes have targeted three administrative and military centers in the
Syrian Golan Heights region, killings at least four people and injuring
several others.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group based in
the UK, says the attack which took place in southern Syria's Quneitra
Province left at least four people dead, including two women. The attack came after Israel claimed that a rocket fired from Syria hit the Israeli-occupied sector of the Golan Heights.
According to Israeli sources, the rocket fell on open ground, leaving no casualties.
