Maybe you think you're a top-notch drink-maker because you took an online class, or because you can tell the difference between Ancient Age and Maker's Mark in a blind taste test. But do you know much about the what, where, and who of your hooch? We didn't think so. Learn the science behind your favorite libations at "The Science of Distilling," co-produced by INFORUM, a division of the Commonwealth Club, and the Bay Area Science Festival. Featuring all kinds of tips for boozehounds to nerd out on, this workshop includes tastings from some of the Bay Area's best boozeries, hands-on demos (so you can go home and try it yourself), mini-interviews with master distillers, and the chance to have a robot bartender serve you a drink. Another highlight is the interactive beverage creation stations brought to you by St. George Spirits, Anchor Distilling, 1512 Spirits, SFVodka, and others. Tickets include more than a couple drinks, so plan your transportation options ahead of time, and prepare to have your mind (and liver) blown as you learn more about alcohol than you did your entire freshmen year of college.

A: The beer pours a nice brown with a white head.
S: The beer has a lot of sweetness on the nose and some caramel.
T: I think this is one of the best tasting beers from Rahr. It has a good amount of caramel and A LOT of sweet fruity flavors.
M: The beer was very smooth for how much carbonation that it had. It was a very enjoyable mouthfeel.
O: Rahr did a very good job with this beer. It is so tasty and enjoyable.

22oz bomber into a snifter
A: Pours brown with a decent eggshell white head that fades to a ring and leaves a tiny bit of lacing on the glass.
S: The nose is typical of a Weizenbock with notes of banana, cloves, and chocolate/cocoa.
T: The taste follows the nose with nice flavors of cocoa, banana, and yeast esters along with a spice flavor I wasn't expecting. Pretty impressive from a brewery that is on a roll with this new series lately.
M: The feel is medium bodied and silky with a good amount of carbonation.
O: This is a tasty beer which was a bit surprising to me. I didn't think i'd like it but it's a good interpretation of the style. It could us a bit more complexity but that's nitpicking.

Bottle from local bottle shop.
Pours a dark dark amber color with about a finger of head.
Nose is a lot of banana, sweetness, and what smells like the remnants of lactose... also a hint of a coriander. Taste is much better than I was expecting. I get a dark fruitiness, touch of cinnamon, and a hint if Belgian yeast and Munich malts.
Mouthfeel is pretty thick, shockingly so... well carbed, this was a pleasant surprise!

The goat on the label does indeed look pissed and poised to beat (hoof?) some elven ass! 22 oz bomber (from HEB) pours a dark brown color with a creamy cap of tan head. Not much for retention, but does leave some decent lace. Pretty good looking weizenbock here.
Lots of banana present, cloves are fairly mild and the wheat is soft and supple. I'm surprised at how good this beer smells, as I dont typically think of Rahr as capable of producing a great WB. Chocolate is there but the yeast takes center-stage...as it should.
Not bad, a bit phenolic and the alcohol is a tad on the rough side, but it has some nice yeast character and a smooth chocolate presence.
A few swirls of the glass knocks out some of carbonation and helps smooth things out. Sweetness is just about right, just enough to give it a rich body and offset the alcohol...which is big. Smooth out the alc and add a bit more roastily-smooth chocolate and this one would be damn near world-class. <clap, clap>...I think this is the best in the 'To Thee' series since the Bourbon Barrel Winter Warmer. Better as it warms to around maybe 45 or so. I would (and will) have no problem sending this tasty treat out in trades or BIFs.

On tap at the Flying Saucer in Fort Worth.
The beer pours a medium brown color with a tan head. The aroma is heavy on the caramel and toffee with some wheat, bananas and cloves mixed in. Smells just like I think a weizenbock should smell.
The flavor follows suit. There is a lot of heavy malt notes with some caramel and toffee, with some nice spices including cloves and cinnamon. There is also a nice amount of banana mixed in with the flavor. The alcohol is detectable.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
Serving type: on-tap

The slow dispatch wasn't great but after emailing to chase my order i managed to get the item in time for a hen party. When chasing details of my order it would have been easier if there was a phone number on the website to call... I couldn't find this and so resulted in email which was slower. The quality of the flip flops ordered was not the best I've seen but served a purpose and looked ok as a gift once I'd dressed them in a clear gift bag with a bow… Read Full Review

I ordered small organza bags for my business cards to give out at a Wedding Fayre. The bags were fine and of good quality and what I expected but I almost didn't get them in time as, according to the person I spoke to at the company's offices, they had apparently gone missing in the post. They did send a replacement pack immediately which was fine but it was all a bit of a rush to fill the bags with the things I wanted before the Fayre.

Our phone number is on our contact page, so I am unsure what the issue is with that. We do ask customers to email in with all enquiries, and all enquiries are dealt with. Can I ask you to email us again, as I would believe if we didn't answer your emails or send your items, that you would need a refund? but we haven't had any emails asking about this.

If you can email us again, we can try and sort this out for you. We are a wedding website, so I am unsure what birthday present has been bought, but we should be able to sort this out for you.

So it's bank holiday weekend and one week until my mother in law's wedding for which I'm chief bridesmaid.... Panic as I remember I've forgotten to order some items!! Quick email to Tip Top Wedding Shop requesting items and if I would be able to collect as I didn't live too far away & delivery stated allow 10 days. Not expecting a prompt reply due to bank holiday back log and previous poor experience with similar retailers during my own wedding prep two years ago, I was so grateful and… Read Full Review

13 days after placing my order and paying for it I had still not received it, despite the 5-10 days quoted on the website. Failed to respond and confirm when it would be dispatched and no explanation for the delay given. Opened a dispute on PayPal and they then started sending shirty emails because they didn't like this then tried bullying me into closing the dispute as resolved when it had not been and told me they would not send the order until I did. Escalated on PayPal and received a full… Read Full Review

Customer opened a case, instead of contacting us direct, then paypal took the money from us for the order, we responded to the case saying we could get it sorted for them, but they had to ask them to cancel the case, as we needed to get paid for the items before we shipped them, as any website/company would. Customer refused. Instead of dealing with the issue, that she hadnt paid for the items, as she had opened a case, she escalated the case, which meant all we could do is refund. I explained this to the customer, and again the customer refused to realise the issue was that she hadnt paid for the items. Paypal didnt sort the refund for her, we did, so im unsure why 'thank goodnes for paypal'. Also, 'chances are you will never recieve the order you paid for' is also incorrect, as the customer didnt pay for the items, as this was the issue, and why the order couldnt be sent. I cant see that asking the customer to close the claim so that we could be paid for the items is bullying.

Who did them? I didnt with the first but am this time around!
i didnt do them... not professionally. I did take pics of myself prego and I think everyone should take them :)
I didn't have any professionally done but I do have pics of myself.
Never did them. They weren't "cool" either time I was pregnant.

Very Good, though when I first took this out of the oven I was so disappointed because it was very watery. I let them sit about 15 minutes or so and it made all the difference...perfectly thick, the way scalloped potatoes are supposed to be. I increased the flour to 3 tablespoons and also added in about 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder with the broth/milk mixture. Also, I didn't have dried basil on hand, so I just used italian seasoning. After I put a layer of potatoes in the pan (I used an 11x7 pan and it was the perfect size), I sprinkled with the salt and pepper and put on a layer of chopped onions and a little parm. cheese before adding 1/2 the sauce. Then I repeated. These had wonderful flavor and no one would ever be able to tell that these are low fat! Just remember, let them set for atleast 15 minutes, so they can thicken up nicely. I will be using this recipe again for sure! :)
Ok - these potatoes are to die for!! So delicious. I used a tsp. of dried basil and I used more cheese - proablly close to 2 cups. I know this made the recipe less "skinny" but so so good (just added some cheese in between the 2 "layers" and then added cheese to top at the end as recipe suggested). I also added a little more flour to the "sauce" part just to get it a little thicker. These came out perfect! Husband loved them! Thanks for the recipe!
This is a good scalloped potato recipe. I substituted vegetarian broth, otherwise I followed the recipe as-is. It is very simple to prepare with good results. Recently, I prepared this recipe for some relatives on a low sodium diet and substituted fresh mushroom broth (made without salt) for the vegetarian broth.

UnknownShe admires the damage in othersHer twisted form of jealousy.The breaking of a heartAnd the touch of a razor bladeThe only true pain she has ever known.Her heart reaches for broken soulsTaking them into her cold embraceTo amend for her sick envy...Her infatuationHer melancholyHer rage.Her guilt for being ordinaryKnows no bounds.As she clings to injured handsWishing to heal themBut secretly...Wanting to be like them.Her reason for whichIs still Unknown.
SupernovaYou shone bright amongst the darknessMy dying starYour damaged soul fueling my infatuation.The memories beneath those eyelidsBurned at your soulThough you didn't see fit to trust me with them.With the freezing of your heartAnd the flicker of your wrist,You cast me aside.Brooding on your ownPlunging us back into the blackest of nights.But through the darknessYou still saw the moonA beacon of hope on the bleak horizon.And as I sat amongst the darknessBathed in the lunar eclipseI realized there was no hope for a dying star.
BloomA gentle smile graced her face."I have something for you love." She whispered.She cupped her hands beneath her breast and stared down at them peacefully.Before he could grow curious, a brilliant scarlet rose appeared and began to slowly bloom beneath her fingers, it's silky petals a perfect contrast to the thorns that pricked her delicate and scarred fingertips.A small drop of blood flowed from the tip of her finger to gently land on one of the flower petals, the color of her blood meeting the rose and blending instantly.She lifted it to her nose to inhale the exquisite aroma.She smiled before presenting it to her lover standing wide-eyed before her."For You."He slowly brought his shaky hands to reach hers, affraid that if he touched her or the rose, they would shatter or dissapear."Don't be afraid." She tenderly assured. He nodded and took the small rose in his hands."Thank you..." He replied.She stretched her hand to gently caress his cheek."Sorry for the blood

YouThe reflection in the Mirror is no longer broken,The flower in Bloom no longer stained,The song that I Sing is no longer sad,The Unconditional love I feel is no longer strained.The Supernova I see is an explosion of desire,The Unknown no longer compels me to fear,If a Hospital is where I seal my fate,Let it be known I died loving You, my dear.

ReunionI awoke slowly and groggily to find myself in an unfamiliar dark room. It was late at night, that much I could tell, and I couldn't quite comprehend where I was or what had just happened to me. With my head still lying heavily on a pillow, I looked around the black room attempting to find some clue as to where I might be; I could tell I was lying in a bed, but that was about the extent of what I knew. "Where... am I?" I mumbled to no one in particular; I was still in a bit of daze and couldn't fully focus on being conscious for the first time in a long time (how long though, I had no idea). I shut my eyes, took a deep breath and attempted to focus both my mind and my body. After barely a minute of meditation, I heard the sheets on my bed rustle and something that sounded like a moan. My eyes immediately snapped open; Was there someone or something in here with me?"Rina..." At the sound of his voice saying my name I immediately jolted upright and began frantically searching
Your Smile"Can I ask you a question?""You just did.""Alright, smartass. Be serious. Can I ask you a real question?""You know you can always ask me anything.""Okay.

What we said: "The Expendables" may be one of the most old-school action movies to be shown at this year's Comic-Con, but it could have gone in a very different direction.
"I thought it would be great to a live-action 3-D movie," director and star Sylvester Stallone told Hall H on Thursday afternoon, describing his thought process before he began shooting the ensemble shoot-'em-up. "I was tempted." But the star said he felt it would have constricted movement of the camera. "So I thought, 'Why not not just do it old-school, in a classical way?'"

Quaternary ammonium compounds containing anhydride groups are prepared by halogenating dimethylmaleic anhydride and reacting the halogenated product with a tertiary amine. The products are useful as surfactants, biocides and as cosurfactants in enhanced oil recovery.
1. A composition of the structural formula: ##STR6## wherein X is halogen.
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein said composition is methyl bromomethylmaleic anhydride.
3. A method of preparing methyl bromomethylmaleic anhydride of the structural formula ##STR7## wherein said anhydride is prepared by reacting dimethylmaleic anhydride with bromotrichloromethane in the presence of actinic radiation, and recovering said anhydride by distilling at a temperature of from about 100� to about 106� C. and from about 0.2 to about 0.3 mm Hg.
This invention relates to quaternary ammonium compounds containing anhydride groups that are derived from dimethylmaleic anhydride. More particularly, this invention relates to quaternary ammonium compounds prepared by halogenating dimethylmaleic anhydride with a halogen, an allylic halogenating agent, or a free radical halogenating agent and reacting the methyl halomethylmaleic anhydride with tertiary amines wherein the said quaternary ammonium compounds are of the structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, aryl groups of 6 to 18 carbon atoms, aralkyl groups with 7 to 19 carbon atoms, heterocyclic groups with 4 to 20 carbon atoms, and cycloalkyl groups with 5 to 12 carbon atoms.
For convenience these compounds are referred to as quaternary ammonium compounds containing anhydride groups. These compounds possess biocidal properties. The invented compounds of molecular weights within the range of from about 400 to about 1200 act as cosurfactants useful in enhanced oil field recovery. These compounds are also useful as surfactants and biocides, and can be used as hydraulic fluids when of sufficiently low molecular weight, and as chemical intermediates.
Cosurfactants function as coupling agents for surfactants and reservoir brines for the purpose of enhancing crude oil production. Surfactant and cosurfactant mixtures are dissolved in brines in low concentrations to form micellar fluids or solutions. These micellar solutions can be described as microemulsions containing surfactants which act to reduce the interfacial tension between water and oil. A second component, a cosurfactant, usually an alcohol, is used to improve the quality of the micellar solution. An efficient cosurfactant increases the micelles' capacity to solubilize more oil or water and still form stabilized solutions.
Compounds used as cosurfactants in the prior art have been alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol, amyl and hexyl alcohols and their ethoxylated derivatives. These cosurfactants have limited capabilities because of the variety of reservoir conditions encountered in enhanced oil recovery programs. For example, special systems must be designed for reservoirs which are essentially fresh water, that is, those which contain 6000 ppm or less monovalent ions, and those which are essentially hard water, those which contain 50,000 ppm monovalent ions plus 500 ppm or more of divalent ions. Cosurfactants should perform so as to achieve a stable fluid when the water-cosurfactant mixture is in contact or mixed with crude oil. Molecular weight of the cosurfactant should be sufficiently low to permit passage through semipermeable rock formations and achieve mobility control.
This invention accordingly relates to a new and unique family of low molecular weight compounds which are suitable for use as cosurfactants for enhanced crude oil recovery. These compounds in use lower the interfacial tension between water and oil, are low molecular weight of from about 400 to about 1200, and are required in only low concentrations to formulate micellar fluids.
This invention relates to quaternary ammonium compounds containing anhydride groups that are derived from dimethylmaleic anhydride, and that are useful as cosurfactants in enhanced oil recovery, surfactants and biocides, and as hydraulic fluids when of sufficiently low molecular weight.
Quaternary ammonium compounds containing anhydride groups are prepared by halogenating dimethylmaleic anhydride with an allylic halogenating agent and reacting the methyl halomethylmaleic anhydride with tertiary amines according to the following reaction: ##STR2##
R1 can be halogen, such as chlorine or bromine, succinimido and trichloromethyl. X is halogen and can be iodine, bromine, chlorine and fluorine. Chlorine and bromine are preferred because of availability and cost.
The tertiary amine, (R)3 N, can be a trialkyl amine wherein the alkyl group can be of 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Examples of such trialkyl amines are trimethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, lauryldimethylamine, stearyldimethylamine and tri-n-octylamine. The tertiary amines can be heterocyclic amines selected from the group consisting of pyridine, quinoline, isoquinoline, phenanthridine and N-methylpyrrolidine. Examples of aralkyl amines are benzyldimethylamine, benzyldibutylamine, and naphthylmethyl dimethylamine.
Preferably the tertiary amine comprises an amine comprising trioctylamine, triethylamine, trihexylamine, stearyldimethylamine and pyridine. These are preferred because they are cheap, reactive and cover the range of derivatives in various inorganic and organic solvents. One or more hydrogens of the aliphatic, alicyclic, heterocyclic and aromatic moieties of the above-described amine compounds can be replaced with nonreactive radical groups such as cyano and alkoxy radicals.
The molar ratios of the reactants to prepare the quaternary ammonium compounds containing anhydride groups, i.e., the allylic halogenating agent, and the anhydride that can be used, can vary. The agent-anhydride ratio is between 1 to 3 moles of agent per mole of anhydride. Substantially equimolar amounts of agent and anhydride are preferred. Use of a solvent such as heptane, hexane, benzene, acetone, dichloromethane, dioxane or carbon tetrachloride at concentrations of 1 to 85 weight percent is convenient.
Dichloromethane is the preferred solvent.
The reaction can be run in any type of open or sealed vessel, suitably agitated, equipped with means of heating the contents and with reflux capabilities.
The present invention also comprises a method of injecting a miceller slug into a subterranean formation comprising the steps of (1) contacting said subterranean formation with an aqueous fluid composition comprising water, a surfactant, a hydrocarbon, and an electrolyte and a low molecular weight quaternary ammonium compound containing anhydride groups within the range of from about 400 to about 1200; (2) applying sufficient pressure to said composition to cause said micellar slug to move through said formation; (3) maintaining sufficient pressure while injecting said composition into said formation. The said low molecular weight quaternary ammonium compounds can be selected from the group consisting of compounds prepared from trioctylamine, trihexylamine and stearyldimethylamine.
In order to facilitate a clear understanding of the invention, the process of preparing quaternary ammonium compounds containing anhydride groups and the use thereof, the following specific embodiments are described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the detailed expositions of the instant invention, while indicating preferred embodiments, are given by way of illustration only since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
Screening tests for suitable cosurfactants to be used as additives for enhanced oil recovery have been developed which indicate a relationship exists between interfacial tension of the cosurfactant and petroleum removal from core samples using a micellar solution. Surfactant-stabilized dispersions of water in hydrocarbon are micellar solutions. In addition to the required surfactant, water and hydrocarbon, micellar solutions can contain cosurfactants and electrolytes to improve stability. Alcohols such as isopropanol and amyl alcohols typically have served as cosurfactants. Sodium chloride and sodium sulfate are examples of electrolytes that are used.
Important aspects of a micellar solution include an ability to solubilize water, compatibility with hydrocarbon and crude oil, an increasing viscosity with increased water concentration and inversion to an oil-in-water solution. In a micelle, surfactant and cosurfactant surround dispersed water which exists in the hydrocarbon phase as spherical droplets. With additional water, the water droplets increase in size. When water is in dispersed phase, the micellar solutions exhibit hydrocarbon-like properties of the external phase. As more and more water is solubilized in a micellar system, spheres enlarge until inversion takes place to form an oil-in-water emulsion. Cosurfactants in a miscellar solution stabilize the solution to reduce incidence of inversion and phase separation.
The following bench test has been devised as a preliminary vial screening test to eliminate need for expensive core tests of cosurfactants. The test has been found to have reliability in predicting suitable properties of cosurfactants when used in micellar solutions. The principal important aspect has been found to be the interfacial tension of the cosurfactant in an oil-water mixture. The formulation is required to yield stable fluids in brine and to show low interfacial tension (IFT) as well as very good miscibility with crude petroleum.
Micellar fluids formulated from concentrates containing 40:1 to 5:1 surfactant-cosurfactant ratios have been tested over a wide range of salinities (sodium chloride in water) and hard waters, being examined for phase stability, fluid clarity, interphase behavior and miscibility of aqueous fluids with crude petroleum.
The vial screening bench test is an empirical test which comprises mixing the micellar fluid and crude petroleum by swirling the fluids together in a test tube while observing the interface. A light source is used to observe the fluid-oil behavior. The interfacial mixing (and hence interfacial tension) is judged upon a scale of very low, moderately low, low, medium and high by a comparison with standards previously developed.
For example, brine solutions of a hardness range from under 6,000 ppm of monovalent ions (sodium chloride) to about 50,000 ppm of monovalent ions (sodium chloride) are mixed with a 40:1 ratio of surfactant-cosurfactant mixture with Second Wall Creek crude. The surfactant is a petroleum sulfonate. Surfactant-cosurfactant-brine mixtures are prepared at ambient temperature and pressure.
Stability of the brine solution with surfactant-cosurfactant mixture is tested by pouring the mixture into a 50 ml graduated cylinder and allowing the solution to stand for one hour undisturbed. Fluids which remain single phase and free of sediment are further tested. 20 ml of solutions are poured into a vial. 4 ml of crude petroleum are added to the vial. The vial is turned gently, observing mixing behavior of crude and micellar fluid. The vial is then shaken vigorously for one minute, after which the vial is allowed to stand undisturbed for one hour. After this period, the fluid is evaluated for oil drop-out, number of liquid phases, thickness of emulsion and miscibility. Results are correlated with interfacial tension of solution and crude by visual observation and spinning drop method of J. L. Caylas, et al., "Low Interfacial Tension," American Chemical Society Series No. 8 Adsorption At Interfaces, 1975. Formation of round oil droplets which separate quickly, and failure to form an emulsion, indicate a high, ineffective interfacial tension characteristic which can render the cosurfactant unsuitable as an additive for enhanced oil recovery applications.
A mixture of 12.6 g (0.1 mole) of dimethylmaleic anhydride, 17.8 g (0.1 mole) of N-bromosuccinimide, 0.2 g of benzoyl peroxide, and 150 ml of carbon tetrachloride was stirred and refluxed for 26 hours. At 10 hours, we added another 0.2 g of benzoyl peroxide. The mixture was cooled to 25� C. and filtered, giving 10 g of succinimide (theory, 9.9 g). The filtrate was diluted with 50 ml of n-hexane, the lower layer separated and evaporated, giving 18.02 g (88 mole% yield) of orange, viscous oil as product. It was distilled in vacuo. All but a few drops distilled as a thick yellow oil at 103�-110� C. (0.35 mm).
Anal. Calcd. for C6 H5 BrO3 :C,35.1; H,2.4; Br,39.0. Found: C,34.6; H,2.5; Br,38.2.
A solution of 12.6 g (0.1 mole) of dimethylmaleic anhydride in 38.45 ml (0.3 mole) of bromotrichloromethane was irradiated with a 275 watt G. E. sunlamp at 70�-80� C. for 19 hours. Distillation gave 5.5 ml of chloroform at 62�-80� C., 24 ml of bromotrichloromethane at 80�-90� C. (200 mm), and 15.12 g of methyl bromomethylmaleic anhydride at 102�-106� C. (0.2 mm).
Anal. Calcd. as in Example I. Found: C, 35.6; H, 2.6; Br, 38.1.
The products of both Examples I and II showed peaks for CH2 Br at 4.25 ppm in the H spectrum and at 16.0 ppm in the 13 C spectrum.
To a solution of 2.18 g (10 mmoles) of the product of Example I in 5 ml of dichloromethane was added a solution of 4.37 ml (10 mmoles) of tri-n-octylamine in 5 ml of dichloromethane. The solution became hot and turned deep purple. After two days at 25� C. the mixture was diluted with 10 ml of tert-butanol and evaporated at 80� C. to constant weight. The product, ##STR3## was an extremely viscous, dark oil that weighed 5.57 g (98 mole% yield).
Anal. Calcd. for C30 H56 NBrO3 :C, 64.5; H, 10.0; N, 2.5; Br, 14.3. Found: C, 64.8; H, 10.4; N, 2.8; Br, 14.0.
To a solution of 2.18 g (10 mmoles) of methyl bromomethylmaleic anhydride (Example I) in 5 ml of dichloromethane was added a solution of 2.7 g (10 mmoles) of tri-n-hexylamine in 5 ml of dichloromethane. Treatment of the dark purple solution and workup as in Example II gave 4.4 g (90 mole% yield) of extremely viscous dark oil.
Anal. Calcd. for C24 H44 NBrO3, ##STR4## C, 60.8; H, 9.3; N, 3.0; Br, 16.9. Found: C, 61.2; H, 9.2; N, 3.4; Br, 16.2.
A mixture of 2.18 g (10 mmoles) of methyl bromomethylmaleic anhydride and 0.791 g (10 mmoles) of pyridine, each dissolved in 5 ml of dichloromethane, was treated as in Example III. The product was a dark, hygroscopic solid, 2.9 g (100% yield).
Anal. Calcd. for C11 H10 NBrO3, ##STR5## C, 46.5; H, 3.5; N, 4.9; Br, 28.2. Found: C, 46.1; H, 3.9; N, 5.4; Br, 27.8.
The effectiveness of these novel compounds as surfactants in lowering interfacial tension between solvent-extracted 5W oil and water was measured using a Cenco-Du Nouy Interfacial Tensiometer No. 70545 with a 6 cm platinum-iridium ring at 25� C., with double-distilled water, with these results at 1 wt% concentrations.

Control of microorganisms in inhibiting or preventing growth of fungi in enhanced oil recovery operations is a desirable characteristic of useful additives.
The product of this invention was tested as a biocide and inhibitor for the growth of microorganisms by this test: 25 g of agar preparation were placed in standard petri dishes. The agar preparation consisted of 23.5 g of Bacto Plate Count Agar, Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Mich., dissolved in 1 liter of water. Plate Count Agar contains a standard USP formula for nutrient agar, consisting of:
5 g: Pancreatic digest of casein
2.5 g: Yeast extract
1 g: Glucose
15 g: Agar
Four petri dishes were untreated and used as blanks. To the others, in duplicate, were added 2.5 ml of 1% acetone solutions of the products of Examples I, III, IV, and V. All plates were uncovered for 4 hours to expose them to the spores of adventitious fungi and bacteria, then covered and stored at 30� C. for 6 days. Ratings were given at this point; 0 represents no growth, 5 shows luxuriant colonies of fungi and bacteria. Results were as follows:
______________________________________Product ofExample No. Growth______________________________________Control 5,5Example I 0,0Example III 0,0Example IV 0,0Example V 3,0______________________________________
The compounds of Examples III, IV and V were tested in the vial test as cosurfactants for enhanced oil recovery, using 5% petroleum sulfonate as surfactant in brine (NaCl), adding the cosurfactant to surfactant and noting the stability of the mixture, as brine tends to cause the surfactant to separate (salt) out. The brine-surfactant-cosurfactant mixture is then mixed by shaking with crude petroleum and the interfacial tension (IFT) observed. Low IFT is indicated by easy mixing of the two phases with no separation. Formation of round oil droplets that separate quickly indicates a high, ineffective IFT.
The vial test consisted of adding 0.1 g of cosurfactant to 20 ml of stock solution (5 wt% of crude oil sulfonate, A-152 or V-60 sulfonate, in 0.1N aqueous sodium chloride), adding 2 ml of crude oil, and shaking vial vigorously. A good vial test (+) results in an emulsion stable for 2 hours at 25� C.
Products of Examples III and IV proved effective in lowering the IFT in the vial test, giving mixtures of brine-surfactant-cosurfactant fluids which were stable, did not separate, and easily formed mixtures of the fluid with crude petroleum. Product of Example V was ineffective. These novel compounds can be used in solutions at 0.01 to 10% by weight.
A micellar slug for micellar flooding consisting of 3 (vol)% petroleum sulfonate as surfactant, 2 (vol)% petroleum hydrocarbon, 1 (vol)% cosurfactant comprising a quaternary ammonium compound containing anhydride groups prepared from methyl bromomethylmaleic anhydride and tri-n-hexylamine in a 1.0N NaCl brine solution is prepared. The micellar slug fluid is fed into the high pressure injection pump and is injected into a 25 foot section sandstone formation in Crawford County, Ill., USA, through an injection well at 900 psig. The amount of slug injected is about 7% of reservoir pore volume and the petroleum hydrocarbon is lease crude oil. Pattern of injection is two rows of injection wells and three rows of producer wells. There are nine wells in each row and total area enclosed is 40 acres. Injection and production wells are 460 feet apart and adjacent wells are 115 feet apart. Crude oil production increases to recover about 30% of the oil in place at start of the injection.

|Museum a great school resource
Dear Editor:
On behalf of the Aurora Middle School 7th grade teachers and students we would like to take time to extend a huge thank you for all of the work you do to put on an outstanding field trip for our students.
Megan and Tina do an outstanding job of making the experience educational and enjoyable with the hands-on activities for our students to enjoy.
Over the last several years we have been amazed at how many of our students have never been to the museum right here in Aurora. In the last year, they have made numerous changes and additions to the exhibits to give it an updated appearance. This is an outstanding resource in our community, and we highly recommend taking some time to stop in and appreciate what we have in Aurora.

Kombo Pro
Job Description
We have designed, patented and manufactured a fishing multi tool called 'The Kombo Tool' (www.kombotool.com). We are now needing a new and improved design called 'The Kombo Pro'. The concept will be similar to our original kombo tool but will need some changes. ie: A different shaped head, a reinforced club, a line cutter, a hook sharpener. We are looking for someone to do original design of the tool and CAD drawings to be sent to our manufacturer overseas. We have very basic conceptual drawings but in the end, we are looking for a creative designer who can come up with some ideas.

Salt Lake City, UT
You're correct, the only difference between the surf and the adventure editions are the mounts and accessories that they come with. The camera is the same.
Spring: there is still snow in the mountains, and the valley temps are warming up enough for mountain biking, longboarding, or anything else you like to do.
But some of us have jobs, and there is only so much light in a day. But with 1200 lumens on your head, you now have the freedom to do ski, bike, skate, etc, in the middle of the night. Now you can ski pow all day, and mountain bike all night...or the other way around!

Too add onto what's been said. I think the Black edition is worth it.
Why? Super View! (silver edition does not have super view)
If you'll be using it for mountain biking and snowboarding, you'll be able to see more of your bike and snowboard in the shot while still having the camera mainly pointed forward. It gives a little more perspective to the video.
I have used the 3+ in both Black and Silver and definitely noticed the difference between the two.
Hope this helps your decision a lil more.
I'll start this by saying I own the Hero 3, and have always wondered, how much better can the 3+ really be?
I got a chance to test it out this weekend up at Snowbird and it lived up to the hype. I don't know how they do it, but GoPro just keeps making these things better.
Stand out new features:
1) Super View mode: Wider view and it doesn't look boxy or distorted. You can mount it on your helmet and still see your skis without angling it down too much.
2) Low Light mode: This is awesome. Noticeably better picture in off or changing light conditions when compared to the Hero 3.
3) Battery Life: I lent my friend Ryan my Hero 3 while I used the 3+. After our shred, he had one bar of battery left and I had two. I'll chalk that up to a 25% increase like they say.
In the video:
HERO 3 --> Ryan DeVine: Red pants and Rossi skis
HERO 3+ --> Me: Black pants and Armada skis
Both in 1080p 30fps modes
You should be able to see some differences in the two cameras.

Three Tips for Running Programs as Administrator in Windows 7
Beginning with Vista and continuing in Windows 7, new security measures were introduced that required additional steps for running certain types of programs or operations. For example, elevated administrator credentials are required for anything that affects system settings. This higher security setting is commonly referred to as "running as administrator" or "with elevated privileges".
I have noticed that PC users are often confused about when they are actually able to run a program as administrator. Because there is a type of user account known as an "administrator" account, it is understandable that a PC user might think that using this type of account was the same as running as administrator. But in the Microsoft way of doing things, this reasonable assumption does not hold. It's confusing but there it is.
Being in an administrator account does enable certain functions not allowed in a standard account but Microsoft's User Account Control (UAC) still requires extra steps for many operations and programs. So I have put together a description of several ways to run a program as administrator.
I will assume that you are using an administrator account in the discussion. Using a limited or standard account would be somewhat similar but in that type of account you would have to keep entering an administrator password.
I have previously described how to run the command line as administrator but the procedure is the same for any program or executable (EXE) file. Here are three ways to run a program as administrator.
Run as administrator from the right-click context menu
- Right-click the program shortcut or executable file
- Select "Run as administrator" from the context menu
- Agree to the UAC challenge
Run as administrator with a keyboard shortcut
- Select the shortcut or executable with a single click
- Use the keyboard combination Ctrl+Shift+Enter (Hold down all three keys)
- Agree to the UAC challenge
Create a shortcut for a program to run as administrator
If you need to run a program as administrator frequently, you can save some time by creating a permanent shortcut for the program that will skip some steps. Another approach is to elevate the privileges of an executable file itself.
- Use an existing shortcut or create one for the program in question in a convenient place
- Right-click the shortcut
- Select "Properties" from the context menu
- Click the "Compatibility" tab
- Put a check by the entry "Run this program as an administrator"
- Click "OK"
You will still get the UAC warning when you use this shortcut but it reduces the total number of steps involved in running a program as administrator.
If you prefer, this same procedure can be applied directly to an executable program file instead of its shortcut. I like to make a separate shortcut because it gives me the option of running a program with or without elevated privileges.
And there you have it. I hope this clears up any confusion about how to run a program as administrator.

You can also create a shortcut that uses the runas command:

I think the UAC warnings are self-defeating because I've watched countless people click to give permission without reading what's in the box, and have more than once heard someone mutter "yeah yeah yeah" as they clicked.
Too many security warnings, such as saying 'this file may damage your computer' when you are copying it TO a usb device all suggest The Boy Who Cried Wolf was not on the reading list of the Microsoft security folk.
by Phil Bird (not verified) on 25. March 2012 - 0:36 (91092)
Yep..disabling the UAC (or the PIA as it's known in these parts) is the answer to a lot of Win 7/Vista frustrations.
Clearly Vista and Win 7 were not run past a bevy of users prior to issuing to the masses, as was done up to XP.
They are distinctly "user unfriendly".
Microsoft's inconsistency in what denotes "administrator" qualification for the system is not good enough either !
I resent being de-skilled by systems providers, after 20 years of using a pc !
Hi Phil,
Appreciate your comment re being de-skilled but Microsoft have to cater to the lowest common denominator i.e. the multitude of people who have no idea regarding security whatsoever.
I personally love the UAC prompt as it gives me an opportunity to stop and think what I am doing.
I also follow all the safe practices recommended by Gizmo as well as using MSE and a once a week scan with Super AntiSpyware
But this is a bit off topic sorry :-)
by swim (not verified) on 24. March 2012 - 22:41 (91089)
OR you could just forget the whole thing and disable UAC. Been doing that ever since I started using Win 7 with no ill effects and a lot more sanity than I would've had.
I had an infected flash drive which would have made a right mess of my desktop, but UAC stopped it dead and enabled me to track down and kill the culprit.
For me, the small annoyance of an extra click is completely worthwhile.
Your machine. your choice but I would never recommend disabling UAC.
by MidnightCowboy on 26. March 2012 - 7:34 (91171)
You make a very good point. So many users complain about the security vulnerabilities of Windows, yet the first thing they search for is how to disable UAC.
by Jonas (not verified) on 24. March 2012 - 21:19 (91084)
Ctrl+Shift (+ click) is enough/the same. Using it often to launch the command prompt with elevated privileges.
UAC can be tweaked quite a lot via registry and GPO's. There's a bunch of articles online. This one is pretty good: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/two-ways-to-fine-tune-windows-7-uac/
The settings shown in the Gpeditor all changes some values in registry..

Thanks for the link and the quick response. I had actually tried the Compatibility Administrator some time back and couldn't get it to work, but the Task Scheduler method is awesome - that works perfectly! This solves the problem of having to manually launch a couple of older programs every time I boot. Now those programs are back in the Startup group like they were back in the XP days.
Thanks again!

Thanks Vic,
For the owner and single administrator/ user of a PC running an OS and programmes for which large sums have been paid to Microsoft, the ultimate frustration is to be told you don't have rights to perform some relatively elementary task.
If I was 50 years younger and retained the energy I'd learn Unix!

My biggest issue with Vista and now Win7 is deleting files.
I have several external hard drives with 10's of thousands of photo files and video files.
Win7 always prevents me from moving directories around and deleting files.
It's EXTREMELY annoying.
Trying to use the program Eraser to clean these files up and remove all traces fails. I've attempted running it as an administrator and it still fails to delete all the old files.
I'd love a way around this problem. Best way I've found so far is to use an old XP machine.
Any hints?

It might be the newish thing(not in xp)where they restrict the number of files u can do things to at once.To disable this u need to enter a reg command.
Go to:
Make a new DWORD value called MultipleInvokePromptMinimum
then set it to decimal 22 (or hex 16)
If u don't want to do this,email me and i will send u a reg file to double click(u can check it's ok in notepad),save u doing it urself
It also makes it possible to open many files at once(prob the reason they did it)so for gods sake don't accidently click open instead of delete/move or u'll be there all day waiting for millions of pics to open.I needed it so I could open loads of windowblinds skins at once as it only lets u open about 10 at once.
Hope this works I know bit old now.

Geez-O. Really? In their infinite wisdom Microsoft have restricted how many files I can work on at once. Sigh. Does that mean I can no longer back up more than x files? Geez.
Thanks for the cool tip, I'll check this one out too!
You can back up as many files as you have room for. What you cannot do is work on more than 15 files at the same time. See this link:
This type of question is best posted in the forum where a bevy of experts are waiting to help out. But here is a quick answer. The only time I have trouble moving or deleting files is when they are being used by some application.

Thanks for trying V.
Your experiences do not match mine. No other applications are using the files when I'm attempting to delete them. Searches online return zillions of replies along the same line as what is given here: use an administrator access.
The files delete easily under XP. Irritatingly difficult under Win7. Try to delete a 100 videos in one directory and only 1/4 of them will delete under Win7. Do the same thing under XP and they all go.
Not to second guess you, because I know there are circumstances in which you are correct, but what confirmation do you have that some of those files aren't actually in use?
"In use" doesn't necessarily just mean that the files are open for editing or being viewed. Especially with images and videos, it's often the case that Windows Explorer and Windows Media Player/Center will keep a file handle to various images open and locked even if you're not actively viewing anything, and sometimes even if there are no Explorer/Player windows open.
A good way to make double sure of this is to use Process Explorer (Sysinternal's/Technet's Task Manager replacement). If you haven't tried this already I'd recommend grabbing it, running it, and going to "Find -> Find Handle or DLL..." and searching for some of the offending files that way. Often you get surprised by what is actually keeping an open handle to your files.

" Process Explorer ... "Find -> Find Handle or DLL..." and searching for some of the offending files that way. "
Thanks for the hint! I will check it out. I usually use Process Hacker as I like the interface a little better. But I do have Process Explorer installed and use it occasionally too.
"Often you get surprised by what is actually keeping an open handle to your files."
Since I've never opened them with the new Win7 box, and I set the pop-up box to "do nothing" when I attach an external drive I don't see what would be using the file. That does not mean that Win7 isn't doing something behind the scenes I'm not aware of.

Thanks for the writeup. I wasn't aware of the Ctrl+Shift+Enter shortcut.
Do you know if there is any way to eliminate the UAC warning entirely short of completely disabling UAC? Or is there any way to change UAC settings on a per program basis?
Thanks again.

You can try this method, this should do the trick for you.
I don't know how to disable global warnings without disabling UAC.
For a specific program, you could write some sort of script to answer the UAC challenge automatically. Or here is another method - I haven't tried it but you can take a look at it
