Sometimes while driving the car will die, just the engine, electrical ok. Often it is hard to start might take 3 or 4 tries before turning over. I have a 3.2 engine. Checked the codes there are no codes set, changed the MAP sensor, nothing. Thinking it may be the Camshaft Position Sensor? Any Help would be appreciated.

Before you replace any other parts, you should check the trouble codes in the computer! Also, check the common problems page, it mentions stalling problems due to other issues! http://repairpal.com/dodge-intrepid-1999

sorry forgot to include ... I did check the codes. All zeros no code is set and the check engine light is not on.
Answer #2Andy Y February 12, 2009, 13:46Master
Do you have a way to check your fuel pressure or test the fuel system? The check valves in the fuel pumps can wear and allow the fuel pressure to bleed off causing the long crank times. Can you tell if your fuel pump is making more noise than it should?
Answer #3cocker211 February 17, 2009, 22:33Rookie
I do agree with Andy Y.. This seems to be a fuel pump problem.

Still Malfunctioning! Will eventually start if you keep trying. Sometimes dies while driving. Replace Throttle Position Sensor, drove good for weekend than started again having problems.
Replymoose_1, May 03, 2009, 02:00Enthusiast
Found it! Turns out it was the CrankShaft Position sensor. Chenged it out and car has been running great ever since!

I've looked on the forums here but haven't seen this addressed. My beer has been in primary for a few days bubbling away happily. Looking at it, I can see particles in the beer rising up, down, and all around in a convection current. The fermentor is room temperature at 65 degrees with a towel wrapped around it as an insulator.
Is this convection current normal? I'm merely curious, not concerned.
Very normal. fermentation is an exothermic reaction (heat is produced).
some fermentations are quite violent:
Thank you Malkore! I find it fascinating but my SWMBO had a....different reaction.
Its not just fluid convection, its also Co2 gas nucleation, growth of bubbles and release of co2 at the surface - letting particles fall again.
I find myself losing track of time, just staring at it, knowing what it will become.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. - Steven Wright

Are these purple coneflower seedlings?
janie58(5a)August 22, 2009
Last Fall 2008 I scattered a few packs of coneflower seeds in a corner of my front yard. In the spring of 2009, hundreds of little seedlings sprouted and when they were about 2-3 inches tall, I moved some to a sunny location.It's now mid August and some are about a foot tall but no flowers. I have read in some posts that coneflowers can take a year or two just to establish their roots. Are these coneflowers or have I been growing weeds? I have some black eyed susans in my yard and the leaves and stems look very similar to these. Thanks for any info.

Here's a pic of what they should look like...

This review is from: High School Dxd: Complete Series Collection [DVD] (DVD)
This anime series was amazing to watch. The main character was hilarious and this anime has ALOT of FAN-SERVICE to offer for those of you who like that sort of thing. The story was engaging and the characters were interesting. The fights were action packed and the dubbing was top quality.
Highschool DXD in a nutshell is one of the best anime titles that I have had the pleasure of watching. I would recommend this to any anime fan.

Walt Cooley has not received any gifts yet
Hi Walt, We have not gotten any cows yet and at this point it appears we may be selling the farm. We have tried to refinance, find investors to help us through this rough spot but have not found anyone that would help. So the future is up in the air...we plan to plant crops again this year but unsure of what the future holds...prices are horrible right now so cutting the input cost is a primary factor.
Hi Walt! Just wanted to say thanks for the welcome message. Looking forward to getting started here on Proud to Dairy!
Thanks and have a great day!
Hi Walt! I found you after reading about your website in a dairy publication, I believe in Hoards. I work for a dairy farmer check-off program in the South and am trying to learn as much about dairy production as I can.
Hi Walt,
I was looking at compliance around effluent and wondered what regulations farmers in America are bound by. We have govt legislation with Fonterra (our co-op) as a clean streams accord. We must prepare nutrient budgets showing how we comply.
I went looking for a correspondent and Voila! your web site popped up on google.
Hi Walt!
We found you after my husband read an article in one of his dairy magazines. We are looking to get back into dairy after not having cows for 2 years. He read the article about the family looking to sell their herd to someone. He still gets up at 4:30 a.m. and we got out of it due an earth current problem on our farm.
Hello! We have recently installed Lely robotic milkers and was just looking for more comments from other producers and found this.
Thank you! I've been a long time reader and am interested in getting to know other readers.
Hello, I have been receiving your magazine for years and decided I would sign up; I manage a calf ranch in the central valley of California and find the articles on calf raising very useful
I have an interest in the dairy industry for many reason. One of them being that I am looking for a farm or a group of farms in New York that have a single or collective a large number of cows. Read an article in a generic online magazine. I am interested in renewable energy from dairy waste.

Yeah, let's conquer roleplays. I'm definitely in for that. I just hope nobody makes up something way too gamebreaking, as we are talking outside of the Replay Value AU here, which means that this roleplay will, just like many others, leave way too much up to the individual RPers' imaginations, or one collective. This is because Homestuck unfortunately explains nearly nothing about Sburb's game mechanics, which is sort of a flaw of Sburb roleplays in the sense that they often make up stuff that, maybe, wasn't intended by the Hussienator to be in the game. Anyways I'm going off on a tangent here, sure I'll go RP the snot out of myself there.
That's right... It's begun again... How long must this war go on?

We love local, and we love stylish weddings – so as well as promoting our own luxury bridal events via these pretty pages we also like to tell our readers about certain selected special events – like the massive North West Wedding Fair this weekend – or this rather lovely little event, The Exquisite Secret Vintage Wedding Fair, hosted by our friend and Brides Up North Exhibitor, Rebecca Jenkinson of Pretty Little Trio Vintage (Rebecca will be showing you what she can do at our Brides Up North Luxury & Vintage Wedding Exhibition at The Bowdon Rooms, later this month).
To celebrate the announcement of the secret location of the show, released later today, these beautiful images were curated by Rebecca and were captured by exhibitor Lucy Greenhill Photography with Emma Hillier Photography. We're thrilled that they chose Brides Up North to show them off.
Be inspired!
rebecca says: The inspiration for our shoot was a modern interpretation of one of my favourite vintage styles, Art Nouveau, with a hint of the twenties too. I wanted to showcase our beautiful secret venue and took inspiration from the surroundings and weaved in pretty spring oranges, a hint of teal blue, deep greens and of course a beautiful dash of gold sequins and vintage elements.
For the shoot we wanted to produce images that could be easily interpreted as inspiration for real wedding days rather than anything too aspirational so the general brief we took was everything was to be beautiful but achievable.
When planning the shoot, in the same way as many brides planning their wedding ideas, I found Pinterest a huge help in pulling thoughts together. I selected ideas for colours, dresses, hairstyles, makeup, props, stationery, cakes and lots of other details and then shared the board with the team ahead of the day so we could all add our skills to bringing the vision together.
The lovely images were captured by Lucy Greenhill Photography with second shooting by Emma Hillier Photography, both creative, great fun and lovely people to work with.
Our bride Charlotte was dressed by Fiona of The Wedding Boutique Cheshire, all the stunning designs are from the Felicity Cooper Collection and are exclusively designed and crafted by Fiona in her boutique where she takes inspiration from vintage styles and materials. She is going to be debuting her latest collection at London Bridal Fashion Week in May, I'm so excited for her.
Charlotte's pretty hair and make up are by the amazingly skilled Sophie, part of the fabulous Manchester based Bethany Jane Davies - Vintage Beauty Parlour.
The stunning flowers are by the super talented Heather at Living Colour Floral Design, there is literally no vintage style this girl can't master for you whilst giving it a contemporary feel too.
All the beautiful stationery, so perfectly vintage, is created by Emma at Hattie Boo Designs. It has a real vintage heritage being based on wedding stationery found in an old wooden box from the wedding of Emma's Nanna's Husband's first marriage in the 1920's!
The beautiful swirly icing art nouveau inspired white and gold tiered cake was created by Manchester based Beth at Cakes by Beth. She is a total genius and can turn her hand to any idea you might have and they taste phenomenal too!
I supplied all the vintage china, suitcases, books and other props through my vintage hire company with the look completed with dazzling table cloths from lovely Helen at Pudding Bridge, who hires nationwide.
The team involved in the shoot are just some of our wonderful exhibitors, I'd definitely recommend any one planning their day with a vintage flavour to come along on the 8th March to enjoy the event and meet our lovely exhibitors.
The Exquisite Secret Vintage Wedding Fair returns to Manchester city centre for its second year this Sunday the 8th March 2015. It is a vintage wedding fair with a bit of a difference, as the exact location is a total secret until just days 5 before when the secret venue is unveiled. (That's today!)
Tickets are £2.50 in advance (£5.00 on the door) and £10.00 for group tickets.

As soon as I saw the stunning images of Lydia and Jamie's wedding day I knew it was one we just had to share with our readers. The creative couple tied the knot in The Lantern Theatre, a unique wedding venue in Sheffield that I had no idea existed, despite it being in the city in which I live.
This wedding is packed full of inspiration from Lydia's fabulous bespoke vintage dress to the home-grown flowers, cool favours and gorgeous décor.
So take a seat, as Brides Up North is now showing Lydia and Jamie's big day.
Images by Weddings by Smith.
lydia says: We got engaged at La Rosa Campsite in Whitby which is a campsite full of beautifully decorated themed caravans. Our caravan was a Catholic kitch theme and somehow we picked a weekend that was quiet which meant we had the whole place to ourselves. Jamie hadn't planned to ask the big question, but suddenly over lunch one afternoon the timing just felt right. We searched for a ring the following weekend in Nottingham, the city where we first met and I chose a blue antique ring.
We set the date for 17th August 2013. We chose that date because of the weather mainly, and it was around one year after we got engaged.
We had our ceremony at The Lantern Theatre in Nether Edge, Sheffield. It is a small theatre that seats around 84 people with a miniature balcony. It is Sheffield's oldest surviving theatre, 120 years old, and a Grade II listed building. We loved that it was small and intimate, laid back, yet a bit grand and opulent, and a bit of a hidden secret. It was also extra special because it was a minute's walk from our house. It reminded me of the film Moulin Rouge, which is by Baz Luhrmann, a film director whose visual style I love. Our party venue was Hagglers Corner, a cafe bar and venue space all set around a lovely courtyard, on the edge of Sheffield city centre.
The theme was kind of inspired by where we got engaged, our venue and all the things we love. It was a little bit of everything, vintage, romantic, Hollywood, rustic and kitsch. We wanted soft and romantic hues of blues, pinks, reds and golds. We chose the overarching colour scheme based on what we both wanted to wear.
I chose a beautiful lady called Joanne Flemming from Brighton to make my dress and took a little mini break there to get fitted. I wanted a vintage wedding dress with a blue underlay and bow. My shoes where Vivienne Westwood Melissa heart shoes and I wore a birdcage veil.
Jamie wore a blue checked suit and red bow tie from Ted Baker.
My grown up bridesmaids wore Karen Millen silk blue dresses, and my flower girl wore a pink dress from Monsoon. We asked the groomsmen to all wear an eclectic mixture of blue tones, and we gave them a red bow tie and I made button holes to tie it all together.
We hired a red vintage bus from a local bus museum to take guests from the ceremony to the party venue. The ceremony was so close my dad took me in his car (which my nan would like to point out she made a special bow for).
Tom Smith of Weddings by Smith did our wedding photography. He was absolutely amazing, we had seen him shoot a wedding before, and I knew that we could not get married without him shooting ours. We gave him some mood boards and he got exactly what we wanted straight away. He also made us feel very comfortable and kept staged photos to a minimum.
I bravely decided to do my own flowers, a mixture of flowers that I planted and grew in my garden, foliage stolen from roadsides in the Peak District and flowers bought the day before from the flower market. I spent the two days before the wedding in my garden cutting flowers, arranging about 100 vases, making bouquets for me and all the bridesmaids and all the button holes for the men. We decorated both venues ourselves (with help from friends and family) the day before with pompoms, bunting, ornaments, homemade table cloths and candles. I carried a bouquet that was made from blue hydrangeas, pink peonies (the Chinese flower of love) and gypsophila.
For our favours we had popcorn boxes which contained fortune cookies, blowing bubbles, a fan and 3D glasses. The fans had quotes from our reading on one side, and timings on the other. Our reading was 'advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young' which is on the end of the Baz Luhrmann Romeo and Juliet original soundtrack.
Our cakes were by Victoria Made.We had a naked cake with sugar flowers and a cake made from layers of cheese covered in fruits. Our cake topper was made by the wonderful people at Lollipop Workshop which we will treasure forever.
After the ceremony we had ice cream and Pimms. At the party venue we had a healthy vegetarian BBQ by Organic Fusion.
To entertain our guests we hired a magician called Steve Faulkner for the theatre, plus a lady who made balloon animals for the kids. We had an ice cream VW van from Ice-Cream Dub and later at night a DJ. We also had lots of board games and toys and fancy dress bits for the kids.
As a special touch we had a wishing tree at the ceremony. We had guests pass around our rings in a box of ribbons and tags, and write a little wish for us to tie to the tree. I also designed our wedding invites myself via my creative studio, Studio Binky.
Our venue didn't have wedding license at the time, so we chose a humanist ceremony by Kate Gee.
It was everything we wanted, really personal and full of love. Kate really got to know us over a couple of meetings and wrote a great ceremony, with us writing our own set of vows. I would highly recommend her.We did the legal part a week before in secret at the town hall.
The Lantern Theatre and Hagglers Corner where both really accommodating, they allowed us to decorate the day before and really helped on the day, whilst at the same time leaving us free to enjoy the venue hassle free. I would definitely recommend them both to other couples.
I'd say my favourite part of the day was sitting down on the stage next to Jamie before we said our vows. Time seemed to stand still, I was worried I might be nervous being on a stage, but surprisingly I felt really relaxed. Everyone in the crowd was someone I really cared about and it felt so special, more than just marrying Jamie, it felt like a big life moment and I'd never felt so loved or happy and at ease.
We had a night in our favourite hotel La Rosa in Whitby straight after the wedding (a gift from a friend), we stayed in a swan themed room which was very romantic and went to a folk gig in the basement that night. This was followed by an unfortunate honeymoon from hell camping trip to York which had to be abandoned. We planned to go somewhere tropical a few months later, but it unfortunately didn't happen which is why I would advise all brides to book a proper honeymoon, you will need it.
In addition, my top tips to other Brides Up North would be to make mood boards, they come in really handy when showing a supplier the look and feel you want. Also, let people help you (especially if planning a DIY wedding). I should have done this more.
Jamie and I are now planning for the next chapter in our life – we are having a baby in June, eek!

The winter might still be dragging on but get ready as we're about to inject your Monday with a fabulous dose of sunshine and happiness.
Olivia and Nathan's rustic wedding sets the style bar sky high with stunning attire and décor to match.
I adore the pale grey and vibrant yellow colour palette which shines through in the mens' get up, lovely blooms and the bridesmaids' cute dresses, designed by the bride herself no less!
So let's head down to the farm to relive this gorgeous couple's big day.
With images by Maryanne Scott Photography.
olivia says: We got engaged early April 2013. Nath picked me up from work as a surprise on a Friday afternoon and took me to Chester for the weekend. On the Saturday we went for a picnic on a river bank which he had prepared, he remembered everything, the blanket, basket and champagne! After eating lunch he proposed. It was absolutely freezing but very romantic.
We chose to tie the knot on August 9th 2014. We knew we wanted a summer wedding and we were restricted to school holidays, if we wanted a honeymoon, as Nath is a teacher.
We got married at All Saints RC Church in Hassop, where we had a Catholic ceremony with full mass, followed by a reception at Brosterfield Farm in Foolow. Having grown up in Sheffield I was always being brought out to the Peak District at the weekend for walks. It is such a beautiful part of the world and I wanted a beautiful setting for the wedding.
I very much wanted a rustic, DIY wedding and knew I wanted a field and marquee. The marquee allowed us to have enough space for 120 day guests and around 185 in the evening. This is what Brosterfield provided, a long open space for the marquee with beautiful scenery, enough space for us and our immediate families to stay and an excellent service. It was perfect!
The theme was DIY/rustic/handmade, which is very much the theme at home, so it was easy for me to adapt this to the wedding. There wasn't a colour scheme as such. I decided I wanted grey dresses for the bridesmaids – I wanted something neutral and knew I didn't want the pale pink 'pretty' look. Nath wanted a grey suit so we went for grey for the lads too. Nath saw a yellow tie he really liked, he wanted a bit of colour to stand out and it really suited his colouring. So we decided to use the yellow in my bouquet and his button hole too to make us stand out and tie us together.
My dress was a Blue by Enzoani Dakota fish tailed lace dress. It was the perfect shape for my figure as I have a very small frame at the top but hips and a bum so it showed everything off. As it was a Catholic ceremony I wanted to have my shoulders covered. I had a small top made with ¾ sleeves in the same lace as the dress with matching buttons down the back. I then took this off for the evening reception. I also had a long veil with very small diamantes on it. I bought my dress from Emily Bridal Wear in Sheffield. Emily and her staff were superb throughout the process.
I bought a vintage belt before I bought my dress, which I spotted at a vintage fair. I wanted to change my outfit a little for the evening so it was the perfect addition for the reception. I also wore a handmade forehead band in the evening made by Debbie Carlisle. She was incredible and replaced all the diamantes with pearls to match my jewellery and shoes. My shoes were pearl coated five-inch heels which I bought from Etsy from a Yorkshire-based seller called Project Elegance.
Nath wore a three-piece grey suit from Reiss. He bought a white shirt from the Saville Row Company with a white collar bar and had this personalised with McG on the cuffs (our surname is McGuinness). The knitted tie was from Ted Baker and we managed to find a matching pocket hankie in Reiss and socks in Urban Outfitters. I bought Nath a pair of silver cufflinks with a pearl detail which I had designed at the jewellers and had given to him the morning of the wedding. These were engraved with McG on one and the wedding date on the other.
I had the bridesmaids dresses made as I had designed the dresses and there was nothing similar on the high street or online. They were a grey sweetheart neckline with mesh top, a tutu bottom and a big bow on the back. They had pearl buttons down the back. The girls wore Kurt Geiger silver/grey heels and pearly flowered headbands. The younger bridesmaid and flower girl had very similar style dresses but made in ivory. They had fresh flowers in their hair.
The ushers and best men had three-piece suits from Next and the dads had very similar ones from M&S. They had grey ties made by the lady who made the girls' dresses. They all had a different pocket square made from vintage scarves which I collected from vintage fairs and shops in the grey theme too. We also had two page boys; Charlie wore a mini version of the groomsmen's suit from Next with a bow tie and braces with converse. George wore shorts with braces from Etsy with a bow tie.
I went to the church in a vintage VW Beetle called Jenny and the bridesmaids in a vintage VW Campervan called Harry. They were hired from Vintage Volksweddings. Nath and I then had the Beetle to the farm and we had lots of lovely photos with it at the end of the drive whilst our guests arrived. Richard from the company was absolutely superb – I would recommend him to anyone.
The photographer was Maryanne Scott and she was brilliant. Maryanne did a trial shoot with us before we booked her – we were both a bit nervous about being in front of the camera but she put us at ease straight away. We also had an engagement shoot before the wedding. On the day we couldn't have asked any more of her. Maryanne was at my Mom's house where I was getting ready early on, she took some fab getting ready shots and then set off into the countryside to get photos of all the lads and then the guests arriving. She takes natural, beautiful photographs, capturing the details of the day and special moments without you even knowing she is there. What an amazing photographer and a lovely person, she really was a joy to have photograph our big day!
I knew I didn't want the standard pretty flowers for our wedding day. We used a lady called Catherine at Petalis in Sheffield. From our first visit Cat understood my vision. We had vintage tins as centre pieces and dotted around the marquee which Cat filled with beautiful flowers with pops of colour as well as using milk churns and watering cans with bright, wacky summer flowers as displays. Cat decorated the church with beautiful, more subtle flowers. She also created stunning button holes and bouquets using natural textures and grey foliage to fit our theme. Cat managed to deliver very high quality flowers to fit the rustic vision and colours, delivering to multiple venues. I was so pleased with them all!
The men were given vintage football programmes as their favours. As a massive Sheffield Wednesday fan and Nathan being a massive Manchester United fan we decided to purchase a programme from the 60s-80s depending on the person's age for either SWFC or MUFC versus the team that person supported. The women meanwhile were all given vintage brooches which I had collected from charity shops, antique shops and car boot sales before the wedding. The children were all given a personalised colouring pack and crayons which I ordered off eBay. I also made 80 jars of strawberry jam as extra favours with special labels. I've had so many people asking me to make more jam since!
We had a three-tier cake made by Lindy Lou Cakes with a Victoria sponge tier, fruit tier and lemon drizzle tier. It was decorated very simply with ivory icing and pearl details all over with an icing bow. I then made the cake toppers to add some more colour. We also had chocolate cupcakes to match.
We hired The Butlers Pantry in Mickleover to do the food and they were absolutely fantastic! First we had prosecco and canapés, including mini Yorkshire puddings with beef, and cheese and sundried tomato tartlets. We then had sharing platters as our starter so there was something for everyone. For main we had Chicken filled with brie and basil wrapped with Serrano ham in a mushroom and tarragon sauce and then Eton Mess for pudding. We had a pizza van for our evening catering by Fabio's Wood Fired Pizza Oven. They arrived and set up without disturbing us in the slightest and created a variety of amazing pizzas to suit everyone's tastes!
For entertainment we had a band called 'up4thedownstroke' who came up all the way from Birmingham. They were just incredible and everyone commented on how amazing they were – not a typical wedding band but a professional set up with soul, RnB and some more generic songs to please everyone. Our friend Cookie DJ'd between the band's sets and afterwards. We also provided games both inside and outside the marquee for the few children who were at the wedding and they went down really well too.
The special touches on the day were just all the little things I made, from bunting on each chair to the crocheted doily table runners. I also made signs to go around the venue, did photo displays and a 'rules of the dance floor' sign too.
Other suppliers from our wedding that I would recommend include Julie at Stephen Bywater Hair, who did mine, the bridesmaids' and my Mom's hair. Posh Frocks and Wellies marquee company were also very good. They provided the marquee, the hardwood flooring, the tables and chairs, linen and the toilets. I'd also highly recommend Brosterfield Farm if you are looking for somewhere to make your wedding your own. It gave us the freedom to use all different suppliers and contacts and make the day perfect for us.
I genuinely enjoyed every single minute of our wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed our vows – it was really important to us both to have a catholic ceremony and it was really special. I also loved our first dance where we had a slide show of photographs of us in the background and followed this with a dance with my Dad. The speeches were also brilliant, though I think it was just really special to have all our friends and family together.
We went to Bali on our honeymoon which was wonderful. We spent the first ten nights in Nusa Dua – a more touristy resort and the last two in the most amazing boutique hotel in the jungle in Ubud.
My top tip for other Brides Up North would be make it your day, don't let anyone put you off any of your ideas. This is your day, the most special day of your life, and it has to be perfect for you both. Incorporate details of both of you into the day and make memories to last a lifetime!

Unless you follow Brides Up North over on Instagram (ahem!) then you probably won't have noticed that I've been off skiing in the Alps for the past seven days… a sneaky little holiday before the Brides Up North wedding exhibition madness begins, but things certainly weren't any less pretty or less busy on these pages this last week!
I've left one set of mountains to come home to an email mountain of my own, so whilst I get cracking on that lot, I'll leave you with our first beautiful wedding of the week, Helen and Joe's stunning vintage inspired celebration in the Yorkshire Dales.
And breathe…
With images by Joe Stenson.
helen says: For my 33rd birthday we went to Manchester to watch Eddie Izzard Live. We had booked an apartment and Joe had secretly upgraded us to the penthouse suite. On the morning of my birthday Joe surprised me on the roof terrace with a champagne breakfast and my birthday presents. The last present I opened was an empty box… when I looked over to Joe he was beside me and down on one knee with a ring in his pocket. I was shocked that he had finally proposed to me and I hadn't even seen it coming!
We were married on 19th April 2014. We made the most of the long Easter weekend with our friends and family.
I am from Staffordshire and Joe is from North Yorkshire so we looked at venues in both counties. We wanted to get married at a venue that had everything on one site and could offer us the whole weekend. After doing lots of internet research on our summer holiday we had shortlisted it down to three places. After visits to all three we quickly decided on Taitlands in Stainforth, North Yorkshire. This beautiful venue had everything on site: a coach house with marquee, a grade II listed house with guest bedrooms, a smaller cottage and beautiful walled garden with the amazing Yorkshire Dales as a backdrop.
As the venue was fairly vintage and rustic I knew to keep it in with that theme. There were lots of homemade bunting and fabric hearts which I had spent months making and with the help of family and friends collected lots of vintage bottles from car boot sales, vintage fairs and antique shops for the flowers. I also spray painted vintage lace doilies with coral fabric paint and used these for the table centres – a job I really loved. For the marquee we hired some huge letters of our initials from Add Vintage who I met at a vintage fair in Leeds.
My favourite colour is coral so I wanted the bridesmaids and the flowers to follow that. I also wanted spring colours so ivory and sage green went perfectly with the coral. The colour theme wasn't too obvious but there were subtle hints.
After trying on about fifty different dresses (!) I had a good idea about what suited me (and what really didn't). After trips to 13 different shops, I found a beautiful ivory gold vintage lace design by Justin Alexander at Ava Rose Hamilton in Silsden and knew it was the one. I chose my veil from Ava Rose and purchased some beautiful vintage hair pieces from Chez Bec after seeing them on a wedding blog. My pearl earrings and bracelet were also from Chez Bec and I had personalised bracelets made for the bridesmaids, each with their birthstone on. I wore beautiful vintage closed toe shoes called Orla from Rachel Simpson.
My hair and make-up was all done by Helen Whincup from Harrogate, a self-employed hairdresser. She travelled to the venue very early and was a huge help at calming me down and getting us all ready on time.
Joe wore a blue three piece suit which he bought from Reiss in the January sales. He accessorised with tan brown shoes from Barker Shoes and a coral and blue tie from House of Fraser. His outfit was finished off with his Granddad's 1970s gold pocket watch which was a surprise from me on the wedding morning enclosed in an engraved pocket pouch. He really looked very handsome.
My bridesmaids, my sister Sarah and two closest friends Thea and Jenny, wore coral lace mid length dresses from an American supplier on Etsy complimented with patent nude shoes from BHS, again in the January sales.
I walked in to 'I will wait for you' by Mumford and Sons (I had been waiting nearly 14 years!) and as I got to the front and Joe finally turned round I stopped crying and started to sing the lyrics to him. I hadn't planned to do this and afterwards I learnt that the entrance song had been played in full when they thought I was ready to come in so really he had been waiting for me!
After seeing two or three florists I visited Twisted Willow Floristry in Ripon. Joanna was absolutely lovely and really got the idea of what look I wanted without me knowing much about flowers. She came up with some amazing bouquets, buttonholes and corsages made up of peonies, roses, gypsophila, lily of the valley, ranunculus, anemones, larkspur and muscari. She also provided dried confetti for my DIY paper doily confetti holders and the same flowers as the bouquets for the table centres and venue which my mother-in-law then put together in a very natural way. Joe's mum did such an amazing job the day before putting this all together.
After the ceremony we had an Easter egg hunt and also hired some outdoor games (croquet and giant jenga) from Add Vintage to keep guests entertained.
RSVP Candy helped us produce all of our fantastic wedding stationery from the amazing personalised wedding story invite and poster to the personalised name badges, wedding programmes, table plan, table names and signs for our photo booth, easter egg hunt and sweet table.
We used vintage postcards of the Yorkshire Dales and a stamp from Not On The High Street for our save the dates. As we had lots spare my creative sister used the leftover postcards and created us a print of our names which we hung up on the day in the ceremony room.
We also had photo bunting hung around the coach house of all our guests from over the years. This created a lot of laughter and some embarrassment for our guests.
The food was all supplied by Taitlands' caterers and we had a selection of Yorkshire canapés out on the lawns followed by country terrine, slow cooked Taitlands lamb and lemon tarte for the wedding breakfast. Locally produced and perfect for spring.
The fizz and wine was all supplied by Majestic. We had gin and elderflower tonic for when guests arrived, prosecco and raspberry liqueur for after the ceremony and a sauvignon blanc and rioja for the wedding breakfast which complimented the lamb perfectly.
We had two cakes, a 6 tier wedding cheesecake made by The Courtyard in Settle which was the main part of the evening supper with pork pies. Our good friend Hannah made three different flavoured cupcakes with a top tier fruit cake. These were amazing and I really can't recommend Hann-made cakes enough.
During the wedding breakfast we had a wedding quiz (all about our guests) and later on in the evening we had a DIY photobooth and polaroid camera so guests could leave their photos and messages in a guestbook.
Our favours also doubled up as pin badge place names in coral for the girls and sage green for the boys. By the end of the day everyone was wearing them, which also helped with introductions. We also had a sweet table and wedding quiz for our guests to enjoy.
Joe researched the entertainment for months and we were so pleased with the Leeds band that we finally chose. Vibetown provided two great sets of live music, with two singers, brass, guitar and drums. Our first dance was 'Hey Ho' by the Lumineers as we didn't want a slow smoochy one and we both loved the lyrics. By the second set everyone had bought the photo booth masks and props onto the dancefloor which the band found hilarious. We also had a spontaneous breakdance competition between guests and there were one or two power cuts when the generator kept cutting out but the saxophonist kept playing solo until the power came back on. Superb.
We managed to find a top guy to take our wedding photos at a vintage fair in Leeds. Joe Stenson is unbelievably talented and such a kind, great guy to work with! We did two engagement shoots before the wedding, including a trip to the pub which made us feel right at ease with Joe. A month or so before the wedding Joe asked if Jemma, a friend of his, could come along as a second photographer as she wanted to shoot some more film so we got two fantastic photographers for the price of one. Jemma was so good at making the girls feel relaxed on the morning of the wedding and Joe was so great at capturing the real feel of the day. We would give them both the best possible recommendation to anybody looking for a wedding photographer.
The venue and the backdrop of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales was perfect. Everything was on site, including accommodation for the bridal party and all our other guests stayed locally in Settle, only a 10 minute taxi ride away.
Emma the owner and her husband Martin were very good at accommodating our requests. We wanted the wedding breakfast in the marquee which they didn't usually do, we were able to set up the venue on the Thursday and our bridal party could arrive early on the Friday so we could relax the day before. Emma let us use her home as if it was our own and was very relaxed about most things. Her staff on the day were great too.
I can't wait to go back there one day for a visit when we are walking in the Dales.
Our favourite moments from the day included our entrance to the wedding breakfast. We came into the A-Team and high-fived everyone as we went round the room. We loved the speeches and the surprise video messages from guests that couldn't be there, including my nan and a few words from one of Joe's favourite comedians Richard Herring!
A couple of days after the wedding we flew to Miami beach for a short stay and then went onto Belize and Mexico for jungle trekking, visits to lots of ruins, snorkelling and lazing on beautiful Caribbean beaches. It was great to spend some quality time with my new husband after 10 months of wedding planning and the scenery and weather was amazing. It was tough going back to work after nearly 4 weeks off!
Joe and I planned the wedding we wanted in 10 months! We did have 'wedmin' to do pretty much every day but we really enjoyed it. I would say spend your budget on the food, drink and music – that's what all your guests will appreciate the most. We wanted those special little touches too so made time to have or make things that were personal to us, that others may not have noticed.
My top planning tips for other Brides Up North would be to set budgets and make decisions early to give yourselves time at the end for all the fun things. On the day itself, try and relax and take it all in as it can be quite overwhelming. We had half an hour by ourselves just as the sun was setting, when we went off with the photographer, and it was lovely just to catch up and relive some of our favourite moments.
Finally, never put your drink down, you'll never remember where you put it!

So she is not a natural green haired girl?!!!
Ha she is playing an action-plataformer Megaman style!
I see she wanted to be an space pilot, then diverted into music, and then she wanted to be a normal pilot, does her actual self knows how to fly?
kmau responds:
I never heard of naturally green-haired humans, although I know there's been green cats already..
Woaps, I wrote "spaceship" by accident. The normal planes are antique models because her story is set in the future (with futuristic spaceship-like planes, but no space travel).

Attention Citizens! This is an urgent Justice Department Announcement!
Today is the last day you can enjoy the reduced price Lawgiver Mk II Earlybird Tickets!
Follow the link in the image below to purchase yours NOW!!
Over on their facebook page the team behind the upcoming Strontium Dog fan film, and also Judge Minty, have posted up the first images of the two leads (no pun intended).
Getting excited yet?
It is with heavy heart I post this on behalf of all at ECBT 2000AD.
Today we discovered Brett Ewins had died, after a short illness. We are so very sad to hear this, and wish to extend our thoughts and condolences to his friends and family.
As readers of 2000AD, and fans of comics in general, we were all touched by Brett in some way. While we may look at his career more closely at a later date, I'd like to touch briefly on why he was so important to so many of us.
He quickly became popular in 2000AD, originally asked to emulate a particular style on Judge Dredd, but before long showing he had his own unique look to bring to the pages of the comic.
For many of us he became a favourite artist when he worked on solo Judge Anderson strips. His tight linework, bizarre creatures, and mastery of the female form made him a fan favourite very quickly.
For me, he made a huge impact on my malleable young mind in the long running 2000AD series, Bad Company. While having a very sci-fi/fantasy setting, Ewins was able to portray the way conflict dehumanises in an unforgettable manner. This affected me so much I wrote an essay for my A level English class. In it I compared this war story to that of so many previous 'boys own' comics. I included the following panel to emphasise the sudden change in direction from the gung ho heroics of Victor and Warlord, to the heightened sense of damage a war can do to a person. I thank Mr Ewins for the great mark my essay got.
Many will remember Brett Ewins for other reasons, including founding Deadline with Steve Dillon, and the character of Johnny Nemo, who he co-created with long time collaborator Peter Milligan. In all these ways, and more, he left the UK comic industry a lasting legacy.
You can see Brett Ewins and Peter Milligan discussing their work at some length on Night Network here:
On a final personal note, I had the honour of meeting Brett in Earls Court last year. He was happy to chat to me for some time, and we discussed his work on Bad Company at length. He was very warm and pleasant to me, and thanked me for passing on my love of his art. I came away with an even greater appreciation of him and his work. I am so glad I had that opportunity before he passed.
We have truly lost someone great.
For those who wish to pass on their condolences, there is a Facebook memorial here:
Also, you can read and add tributes to Brett on the 2000AD Forum, here:
Over on their Facebook page the Sunderland Comic Con have posted up their panel schedule which includes amongst other goodies a 2000AD panel with IZ AND WHITTLE FROM THE MEGACAST! Oh, and some guys called Higgins, Morrison, Ewing and Wagner.
Go check it out. Rumour has it Pete Wells of the 2000AD Covers Uncovered website will also be there giving out free hugs…even if you tell him you don't want any and threaten him with a broken bottle. You can't go wrong.
For those who cant make it, panellists willing we'll hopefully post up the panel as a podcast after the event.
Tharg the Mighty, in his universe spanning wisdom, has seen to fit to invite John Higgins to create the cover for the 38th anniversary of 2000AD.
John has risen to the challenge, and in this fantastic time lapse film from Sally Jane Hurst (BOK Designs, and colourist on Greysuit) we see The Mighty One take shape in paint on canvas:
Why not tell John how awesome you think it is via Twitter: @razorjackrealm
Haven't been following the pricing on these myself but as Senior Judge Burdis, who let's be fair, knows about this stuff, posted : "Now with a reduced price to help those rookies on the streets!"
I'm taking that as a good enough recommendation to pass on.

Winning is fun, but relentless winning is hardly dramatic. There's nothing to overcome. There's no story there.
Neil Hayes' book, "When the Game Stands Tall," about the record-shattering 151-game win streak by De La Salle, a private Catholic high-school football team in Concord, Calif., is mostly about its 2002 season. But Hayes includes an epilogue about the 2004 team that finally lost a game. (To Bellevue, by the way, at Qwest Field.)
So that's what the movie focuses on: losing, and how you recover from it.
There are some good internal contradictions to mine here. Winning, for coach Bob Ladouceur (Jim Caviezel), is a byproduct of playing the game right (humility, teamwork, etc.); but glory, humility's opposite, is a byproduct of winning all the time.
- WSU study: 'Exploding head syndrome' more common than once thought
- McMorris Rodgers should ask hometown folks about Obamacare
- Oregon Zoo elephant Rama euthanized; loved to paint
- Seattle congestion: We're No. 5
- Ivar's to raise restaurant workers' wages to $15 right away

So how do you keep egos in check when you never lose? When does the byproduct of playing the game right cause you to play the game wrong?
Sadly, the movie dramatizes all of this with reductive situations and stock characters: the me-first, team-last dude (Jessie Usher) who is cured like that by a trip to a VA hospital; the glory-seeking father in the stands (Clancy Brown, the prison guard in "The Shawshank Redemption"). Neither rabid fans nor the probing media help.
First-half subplots — Ladouceur's heart attack, a senseless murder — are more-or-less forgotten in the second. Caviezel's Ladouceur is sourly inscrutable, his talks with his wife (Laura Dern) are dull business, and the grace moment at the end is hardly graceful.
The movie raises religious and philosophical questions about whether what we put out in the world is returned to us, but it sticks with the ultimate American answer: There is no problem so great that winning a football game won't solve it.

The present invention relates to a process for preparing aqueous pigment compositions, especially aqueous dispersions or suspensions of organic or inorganic pigments, of improved Theological behaviour by ultrasonic treatment.
WO 00/24679 discloses a process for the removal of micro-biological contamination from aqueous pigment compositions by combining the use of chemical biocides with an ultrasonic treatment. No suggestions, however, are provided that ultrasonic energy might be used to achieve the effects according to the present invention, viz. besides a reduced viscosity (improved rheology) also an increased solids content of the pigment compositions obtained. Both properties are highly needed for a more economical handling of the pigment compositions and the colourant compositions, such as inks or paints, prepared thereof.
Accordingly, it is the main object of the present invention to improve the rheological properties of aqueous pigment compositions. Other objects of the present invention are the improved pigment compositions as well as methods of using them. These and other objects of the present invention will be described in the following.
Therefore, in a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for improving the Theological properties of aqueous pigment compositions which comprises ultrasonic treatment at a frequency of 16 to 100 kHz of aqueous pigment dispersions of suspensions.
This first aspect can also be defined as method of using (use) of ultrasound (ultrasonic energy) for improving the rheological properties of aqueous pigment compositions.
According to another aspect of the present invention, the process for improving the rheological properties of aqueous pigment compositions by ultrasonic treatment is carried out in a (continous) flowing system (using e.g. an acoustic chamber) at a (relatively) high flow rate, i.e. for a relatively short treating time (residence time in the acoustic chamber).
The aqueous pigment compositions are those of organic or inorganic pigments.
The organic pigments comprise, but not exclusively, such pigments as monoazo, disazo, naphthol, dioxazone, azomethin, azocondensation, metal-complex, nitro, perinone, quinoline, anthraquinone, benzimidazolone, isoindoline, isoindolinone, quinacridone, hydroxyanthraquinone, aminoanthraquinone, anthrapyrimidine, indanthrone, flavanthrone, pyranthrone, antanthrone, isoviolanthrone, diketopyrrolopyrrole, carbazole, perylene, indigo or thioindigo pigments.
Mixtures of the pigments may also be used.
Preferred are organic pigments of the following chemical classes: Monoazo (naphthol AS pigments: C.I. Pigment Red 2 and 23), disazo (diarylide yellow pigments: C.I. Pigment Yellow 12, 13, 14, 17; diarylide orange pigments: C.I. Pigment Orange 34), naphthol (P3-naphthol pigments), and metal-complex pigments, such as e.g. phthalocyanines (C.I. Pigment Blue 15, 15:1, 15:3), and azomethin metal-complex pigments,
For further details as to the organic pigments reference is made to Industrial Organic Pigments, W. Herbst, K. Hunger, 2nd edition, VCH Verlagsgesellschaft, Weinheim, 1997.
Inorganic pigments include among others titanium oxide pigments, iron oxide and hydroxide pigments, chromium oxide pigments, spinel type calcined pigments, lead chromate pigments, bismuth vanadate pigments, carbon black and Prussian Blue.
In this context, reference is also made to the Colour Index (C.I.), issued by the Society of Dyers and Colorists and The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists.
The aqueous pigment compositions suitable for use in the process according to the present invention include dispersions and solids suspensions of organic and inorganic pigments in water, containing further, as a rule, additives that enhance processing and applicational properties.
Examples of such additives are ethoxylated fatty alcohols(C8-20), and alkyl (C8-C18)-phenols, such as octyl-, nonyl- or dodecyl phenols, sulfonated fatty acids, such as sulfuric acid ester of castor oil (turkey red oil), sulphonated naphthalenes and their derivatives, acrylic acid polymers (poyacrylic acid) and copolymers with styrene, homo- and co-polymers of substituted (alkyl-, halogeno-, cyano-substituted) acrylic acids, or polymers of 2-propenic acid, both water-soluble and as emulsion.
The term �solid� as defined herein includes particles of pigments and dyes where the particle can be an individual crystal, aggregate of crystals or agglomerate of aggregates ranging in size from a few nanometres to hundreds of microns together with additives which themselves are solutions or emulsions in water. Any level of solid may be employed in the suspensions. However, at very high solids contents, typically greater than about 65%, highly viscous materials are typically formed which, although usable in the present process, provide specific difficulties in the manufacturing process due to pumping limitations. Similarly, highly diluted suspensions, typically containing solids at levels of less than about 5%, may be processed (pumped) more easily but their low solids content can limit their utility for economic reasons. Thus solids suspensions containing from 20% to 70% of solids, preferably 30% to 60% by weight of the dispersion are preferred for use in the process of the present invention.
Further additives may be antifoams, such as tributyl phosphate or polysiloxanes (polydimethyl siloxanes) or (chemical) biocides.
Any level of chemical biocide may be employed in the compositions to be processed according to the present invention. Typically the chemical biocide is present a levels of from about 15 parts per million (ppm) by weight of the dispersion to about 500 ppm, most preferably from about 50 ppm to about 250 ppm by weight of the composition. Chemical biocide as defined herein means a material which is capable of inhibiting the growth of microbiological contaminants in water-based systems. Examples of microbiological contaminants as defined herein include Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, yeasts and fungi. Suitable chemical biocides include aldehydes and isothiazolones.
Suitable chemical biocides include aldehydes such as formaldehyde, dialdehydes such as glutardialdehyde (pentane-1,5-dialdehyde), substituted and unsubstituted isothiazolin-3-one, such as N-methylisothiazol-3-one or N-octylisothiazolin-3-one or 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, hexahydro-1,3,5-tris-(2-hydroxyethyl)-s-triazine, tetrakishydroxymethylphosphonium sulphate, dimethyl-N-alkylbenzammonium chloride, 2-(thiocyanomethyl)thio(benzothiazole), and mixtures thereof. It is our experience that the efficiency of a particular biocide is closely associated with the colourant chemical type. It should be understood that within the range of chemical biocides available some will be more effective than others with any particular solids dispersion.
Preferred chemical biocides for use herein are the substituted or unsubstituted isothiazolin-3-ones.
Ultrasound as defined herein means sound waves beyond the response of the human ear, notably 16 kHz or greater. The frequency ranges may be 16 to 100 kHz, preferably 16 to 40 kHz, and mostly preferred 16 to 20 kHz.
Being a sound wave, ultrasound can be transmitted through any substance, solid, liquid or gas, which possesses elastic properties. The movement of the vibrating body (the sound source) is communicated to the molecules of the substrate medium, each of which transmits the motion to an adjoining molecule before returning approximately to its original position. Besides the variation in the molecules' position when the sound wave travels through the medium there is a variation in pressure. At the point where the layers of molecules are crowded together (such as when the molecules are compressed) the pressure is higher than normal at that instant, whereas in the region where the layers are furthest apart (the rarefaction region) the pressure is lower than normal. If a sufficiently large negative pressure is applied to a liquid (here it will be the acoustic pressure on rarefaction), such that the average distance between the molecules exceeds the critical molecular distance necessary to hold the liquid intact, the liquid will break down and voids or cavities will be created. These voids or cavities are known as cavitation bubbles. The production of such cavitation bubbles has been known for many years, and good examples are provided by either a ship's propeller or a paddle stirrer where the cavities are produced by the rapid rotation of the blade through the liquid. Once produced, these cavities or bubbles may grow in size until the maximum negative pressure has been reached. In the succeeding compression of the wave, however, they will be forced to contract, i.e. decrease in volume and some of them may even totally disappear. The shock waves produced on total collapse of the bubbles has been estimated to be of the order of several thousands of atmospheres, and are believed to be the cause of the considerable erosion observed for components in the vicinity of the bubble.
To completely rupture a liquid and hence produce a void or cavity requires a finite time. For sound waves with high frequencies, the time required to create the bubble may be longer than that available during the rarefaction cycle. For example, at 20 kHz the rarefaction cycle lasts 25 microseconds (=0.5�frequency), attaining its maximum negative pressure in 12.5 microseconds, whereas at 20 mHz the rarefaction cycle lasts only 0.025 microseconds. Thus it might be anticipated that as the frequency increases, the production of cavitation bubbles may become more difficult to achieve in the available time, and that greater sound intensities (i.e. greater amplitudes) would need to be employed (over these short periods) to ensure that the cohesive forces of the liquid are overcome. Since it is necessary for the negative pressure in the rarefaction cycle to overcome the natural cohesive forces acting in the liquid, any increase in viscosity will increase the threshold of cavitation.
A transducer is a device capable of converting one form of energy into another, a simple example being a loudspeaker which converts electrical to sound energy. Ultrasonic transducers are designed to convert either mechanical or electrical energy into high frequency sound. Ultrasonic transducers which may be employed in the process of the current invention include electrochemical transducers and magnetostrictive transducers.
Electrochemical transducers are based on either the piezoelectric or the magnetostrictive effect. Piezoelectric transducers utilise the piezoelectric effect of certain crystals such as quartz. On applying rapidly reversing charges to a piezoelectric material, fluctuations will be produced. This effect can be harnessed to transmit ultrasonic vibrations from the crystal through whatever medium it might be in, although it is not possible to drive a given piece of piezoelectric crystal efficiently at every frequency. Optimum performance will only be obtained at the natural resonance frequency of the particular sample, and this depends upon its dimensions. This is why the conventional sonochemistry equipment is of fixed frequency and why reports of comparative studies at different frequencies are uncommon. The use of different types of piezoelectric materials permits the building of ultrasonic generators of different powers and frequencies.
Magnetostrictive transducers rely on a change in the dimension of a suitable ferromagnetic material such as nickel or iron, by the application of a magnetic field. It is usually in the form of a rod (or bar) acting as the magnetic core within a solenoid. Applying a varying current to the coil produces a variation in the dimensions of the bar.
In industrial production situations the type of process will govern the choice of reactor design, whether it is batch or (continuous) flow-through.
The aqueous pigment dispersions can be subjected to the ultrasonic treatment by various techniques. The �flow through� technique essentially means a continuous opration where the flow is in a single direction and does not pass through the sonolator a second time, but all material has completely flown through once.
The �pass� technique covers the flow from one a vessel �A� to a vessel �B� and all the material has passed through the sonolator. By re-configuring the pipwork between the vessels, the material can then be passed in its entireity from vessel �B� back to vessel �A�. The essential point is that all the material passes through the machine a defined number of of times.
And finally, the �recirculation� technique means that the material from vessel �A� passes through the sonolator and returns to vessel �A� continuously. By this technique it is unlikely that all material from vessel �A� will ever pass through the sono'lator, but statistically, the longer the time period the more likely it is that the bulk will have passed through at least once, while some parts may have passed through many times and therfore received multiple treatments.
High intensity systems may employ a number of probes, but more effective is an acoustic chamber formed by two acoustically activated metal plates which enclose a flow system such as a Nearfield Accoustical Processor. These plates face towards each other and are separated by a small distance, typically a few millimetres to several centimetres, depending on the rheology of the fluid. Under these conditions any fluid flowing between these plates is subject to an ultrasonic intensity greater than that expected from simple doubling of a single plate intensity. Furthermore, if the two frequencies are slightly different from each other then turbulence is set up in the fluid which gives very efficient mixing, particularly in the case of slurries, thereby eliminating the need for stirring and improving the sonication of the medium.
Further it has been found, and this is an essential feature of the inventive process, that the ultrasonic treatment in the flow-through system preferably can be carried out for a relatively short period of time to achieve the desired and unexpected results. Therefore, the ultrasonic treatment may last from about 5 seconds up to 5 minutes, preferably from about 5 seconds to about 2 minutes, for example from 5 to 20 seconds.
An additional benefit of the Nearfield Accoustical Processor ultrasonic equipment is that with vibrating plates the system can be built to any size and can cope with very large throughputs of material. This same concept can be achieved by coupling numbers of probes into a pipe by means of �T� sections, or the immersion of a submersible transducer inside a pipe itself.
During the propagation of a plane sound wave through a medium the intensity of the wave decreases as the distance from the ultrasonic radiation source increases. This attenuation may rise as a result of reflection, refraction, diffraction or scattering of the wave or it may be the result of converting some of the mechanical (kinetic) energy of the wave into heat. As the molecules of the medium vibrate under the action of the sound wave, they can experience viscous interactions which degrade the acoustic energy into heat, and it is this degraded acoustic energy by the medium which gives rise to the small observed bulk heating effect during the application of high power ultrasound.
Since it is necessary for the negative pressure in the rarefaction cycle to overcome the natural cohesive forces acting in the liquid, any increases in these forces, such as an increase in viscosity, will increase the threshold of cavitation. It is therefore advantageous to alter the distance between the accoustical plates to suit the rheology (flow characteristics) of the medium, or the amplitude (power) of the accoustical processor if temperature rise is not an issue.
Preferred for use herein is the Nearfield Accoustical Processor ultrasound equipment, and in particular the NAP-3606-HP Ultrasonic Reactor� available from Advanced Sonic Processing Systems, 324 Christian Street, Oxford, Conn. 06478, USA. For the effective sonolation treatment of water-borne solids suspensions containing up to 70% solids it has been found that the frequencies in the range of from 16 kHz to 20 kHz; electrical power consumption of up to 4000 watts and a diaphragm plate spacing of from 3 millimetres to 50 millimetres are sufficient.
Utility of alternative sonolation equipment as specified herein before will require adjustment of the requisite frequency, chamber volume and residence time in order to define the optimal conditions for effective treatment. Such adjustment and analysis is within the knowledge of the skilled operator.
Generally, ultrasound is applied having the requisite characteristics or parameters of time, frequency and power level to effectively achieve the desired results, i.e. the decrease of viscosities and the increased particle (pigment) loading.
It is assumed that�but without being stuck to these assumptions�that by ultrasonic treatment a structural re-arangement of the pigment fluid system is taking place. Normally, water is structurally �locked up� in a system as solid surfaces (of the pigments) and surfactants both have a strong affinity for the available water, and the water is the only component which can flow.
Ultrasound can possibly release the water from the structure of the system (hence the viscosity reduces) by causing a rearrangement of the component inter-relationships in the system.
If a product is needed (sold) at a given viscosity, then the solids loading can be increased to achieve the original viscosity figure, hence improving the economics of the production operation.
Alternatively, if one wishes to operate a colour concentrate dispensing system the lower viscosity would be desirable.
The inventively obtained pigment compositions show improved, more economical, handling properties, such as a significant particle (pigment) loading and a reduced viscosity, and lead, therefore, to considerable advantages when preparing colourant compositions, such as inks or paints, thereof.
The following non-limiting Examples further illustrate the present invention. Parts and percentages are by weight, if not otherwise indicated. Temperatures are indicated in degrees centigrade.
Aqueous pigment dispersions available as UNISPERSE� brands from Ciba Specialty Chemicals (UK) Ltd., are passed through a sonolator chamber (Nearfield Acoustical Processor�NAP Reactor�, 3606-HP-TC) to assess the influence of ultrasound on the rheologies of these commercial products.
The measurable variables being:
Power Input:
A Carri-med� rheometer is used to measure the rheology of aqueous dispersions before and after sonolation. Viscosity of each dispersion is calculated by dividing the shear stress by the shear rate, measured in milli Pascal seconds (mPa�s).
The shear rate is the number of rotations (6.2 cm disc) per second, measured in reciprocal seconds; the shear stress is the stress applied, measured in Pascals (Pa).
The aqueous dispersions(UNISPERSE� brands) of the organic (inorganic) pigments contain as a rule 35 to 45% (50 to 65%) by weight of the pigment, about 35 to 50% (30 to 40%) of water, and as further additives sufficient amounts of e.g. dispersants (ethoxylated fatty alcohols, naphthalene sulfonic acid-formaldehyde adducts, sulfonated fatty acids), polymers (homo- and copolymers based on acrylic acid and substituted acrylic acids), antifoams (polydimethyl siloxanes, tributyl phosphate), and biocides (glutardialdehyde, unsubstituted or substituted isothiazolin-3-ones, etc.)
The following UNISPERSE� products are subjected to the ultrasonic treatment:
All dispersions are subjected to the same conditions in terms of power density and residence time.
Colouristics measured on each product immediately after sonolation indicated that, with the exception of Red Oxide R�S, no discernible strength, shade or transparency/opacity changes took place. In the case of Red Oxide R�S, strength increased by 9%, with AC 1.0 and AH 0.7Y.
The viscosity effect (decrease) is irreversible.
The following Table 1 shows the results.

Cosmopolitan vacation
I had a great time at the Cosmopolitan. I haven't been to Vegas in about 7 years and it's changed quite a bit. The older casinos are still nice and have much to offer. However, the newer places like Cosmopolitan, Aria, and Wynn truly take the
concept of 'sparing no expence' on amenities, decor and luxury options like shopping, dining and dance clubs. These new hotels take the Vegas experience to a whole new level of fun simply because the options to do so many different things are available. And they are available at most hours of the day and night.
There are multiple restaurants in the Cosmopolitan. None of which are cheap. However, they all offer outstanding food. If you are not able to spend freely, then plan on dining elsewhere like the sandwich shop at the much lower quality Planet Hollywood across the street. It does have great sandwiches at $3.99 each. If you can spend freely, try STK for perfectly cooked steak. The tapas at Jaleo are excellent but once you have tapas, there isn't much difference between tapas dining. Comme Ca is another restaurant that is in Cosmopolitan and the food is good but in my opinion, over priced. Nice presentation but not the best selection. Oh yeah,
Great stay at the "IT" hotel
Stay was great. Staff was good....a little snooty. Internet not reliable..great for vaca not work
Some stains on the carpet...but OH the View!!!! amazing!!!
shopping down the street and across the street was excellent
Cosmopolitan is a great hotel
My girlfriend and I chose to stay at the cosmopolitan because they told me they would have there pools open all year around, well a couple weeks before our trip i saw they were closing there pools. Luckily I had screen shots of them telling me the
pools would be open. To help rectify the situation we were given a spa pass to use the hot tubs in the spa and a room upgrade. We came back to our room from a grand canyon trip and had chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of champagne waiting for us with a card saying hope you are enjoying your stay signed from the representative that we talked to on the phone. The customer service is superb at the hotel and everyone is extremely friendly. Our room was a terrace studio with a view of the bellagio fountains. room was beautiful. I do believe the cosmopolitan is the premier hotel to stay at on the strip.
everything was fine
only poorly cleaned the room before the entrance of! Everything else was great
Draize nightclub best !!!!! to get there!
The best hotel on the strip
Very hip hotel with a young crowd. Rooms were awesome and clean and location is the best on the strip. Only negative was the time it took to get extra towels brought to the room but besides that I would definitely stay here again.
Go to marquee early because it will take a while to get in after 11 pm. Definitely worth it though
The Cosmopolitan Hotel was one of the grandest hotels I've have ever had the pleasure of enjoying !!! I totally recommend it to anyone who would love to be pampered from the room's accomodations to the fantastic service ,the incredible plush beds
with state of the art wall tv along with very ultra modern decor & view . If this is not enough , let me add the bathroom is also fit for royalty as if I would know what royalty would appreciate !! The complex to my estimation does not lack in any way : it is top of all or most hotels .
Thank you for your recommendation to me !!!
Perfect new addition
Perfect location on the strip. The rooms were very well appointed, the staff very courteous and helpful. There was more of a hotel feel to the place as opposed to the cheesiness of other locations. The crowd and casino had more of a modern, trendy
feel, i would definately stay here again.
Great place to stay at
Love the location, great room.. Love the terrace... Just absolutely loved it.. Can't wait to go back again...
China poblano - best tacos in the strip....and it's inside Cosmo...
nice place
I got the room upgrade with the king bed and balcony. The rooms were large and modern; living room, office area, microwave, 750ml grey goose in the minibar, huge walk in shower, soaking tub with a window overlooking the strip, a separate big
screen tv at the office station for laptop hookup, environmental, lightning and home automation control via a touch screen. There was free access to the Marquee club, and a separate line (ie. NO LINE) for hotel guests.
Vegas Baby
The best hotell we've ever been in Vegas!!!! Well be back!
