Description (OCR text may contain errors)
This application is a continuation-in-part of our previously filed application, Serial No. 153,062, filed November 17, 1961, now abandoned.
This invention relates to an electrolytic apparatus and method for the treatment of aqueous caustic solutions thereby to remove metal ion impurities and improve the color of the solution.
In many industrial applications, aqueous caustic solutions are required having a high degree of purity. Often, metal ions enter the solutions during the process of manufacture, during transport or in various other ways. These metal ions may, in certain instances, cause a deterioration in color of the aqueous solution. Further, in many processes, the presence of metal ion impurities renders the aqueous caustic solution useless for the intended purpose.
It is an object, then, of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus whereby substantially all of the metal ion impurities may be removed from an aqueous caustic solution.
Numerous methods have been proposed for the re moval of metal ions from aqueous caustic solutions. Among such methods are filtration, precipitation, adsorbtion, and the like. T hese methods are generally expensive and inefficient relative to the present method.
We have discovered a method and apparatus whereby metal ion content of aqueous caustic solutions may be reduced to substantially nil in a simple one-step operation. In accordance with our invention, an aqueous caustic solution containing metal ion impurities is subjected to electrolytic treatment in a cell having as its cathode a fiuid permeable pad of fine strands of electric current conducting material.
In the electrolytic processing art, it is well known that when an aqueous solution containing metal ions is subjected to an electric current, that the metal ions will tend to plate out on the cathode. It is another well recognized phenomenon within this art that the predominant plating out of metal on the cathode takes place at the portion of the cathode closest to the anode. It is for this reason, that most cathodes used for the plating of metal ion from solution are designed so that a maximum amount of surface area is in a plane normal to the line between the anode and cathode of the cell. Because of this characteristic of plating at the point closest to the anode, most cathodes are of a fiat, thin plate or screen-like design since little or no metal plating would occur at any distance from the surface .closest to the anode. It was, therefore, unexpected that a mesh pad of wire or other conducting material, when employed as a cathode in accordance with the present invention, would receive a relatively uniform plate of metal, from the metal ion containing solution, over the entire surface area of said pad. Since the surface area per unit volume of the cathodes employed in the present invention is substantially greater than that of cathodes having a thin design, greater efiiciency in metal ion removal by plating may be obtained. Further, more metal ion may be removed from the solution before replacement or cleaning of individual cathodes becomes necessary.
The term metal ion impurities as used herein refers to those metal ions belows aluminum in the electromotive Patented Apr. 5 1966 series of elements which can be electroplated from aqueous solutions i.e. those metals having an electrolytic potential. less than that of aluminum. These metals include zinc, chromium, iron, cadmium, cobalt, nickel, tin, lead, antimony, copper, mercury, silver, lead and gold.
Cathodes appropriate for use in the present invention are greater than one quarter inch in thickness and usually from one quarter to twelve inches in thickness, the thickness being measured along the line between the anode and cathode, and made of strands of a current conducting material which has a cross-sectional area equivalent to wire having a diameter of from 0.001 to 0.03 inch in diameter. The surface area to volume ratio of the appropriate cathodes for use in the present invention is generally from about 50 to about 600 square feet of surface area per cubic foot of cathode volume. The cathodes are made of electric current conducting strands which are resistant to caustic under cell operating conditions. Generally metallic wire or strands of nickel and nickel n1 loys, stainless steels, mild steel and silver are used.
Aqueous caustic solutions which may be purified by the methodand apparatus of the present invention are those which contain from about 0.25 to about 500 parts per million of metal ion impurities. Solutions containing less than about 0.25 part per million of metal ion impurities may be purified by the method and apparatus of the present invention but it is usually not necessary to do so. When purification of solutions containing more than about 500 parts per. million of metal ion impurities is attempted by the method and apparatus of the present invention, the problem of throwing power presents itself. Solutions having high concentrations (over about 500 parts per mil-lion) of metal ion impurities tend to behave such that plating occurs only at that portion of the cathode closest the anode, thus losing the advantages of the present method. While the process of the present in vention is applicable to caustic soda solutions of various concentrations it is particularly useful for the purification oidaqueous solutions containing greater than 40% caustic s a.
In practice, the aqueous caustic solution which contains the metal ion impurity is generally passed through the cell in such a manner as to flow through the mesh pad cathode.
Alternately, the cathode may be agitated as by vibrating or reciprocating, in order to increase the solution to cathode contact. Also, the number of cathodes and anodes may be multiplied in order to assure maximum solution-cathode contact.
In general, for best operations, the current densities to be employed are generally in the range of from about 1 to about 6 amperes per square foot of cathode surface area. The particular voltage employed to obtain a desired cathode current density normally depends upon the cell design but is usually low, being in the range of from about 1.6 to about 4 volts per cell. If desired, a. plurality of cathodes and anodes may be operated in series by employing a higher voltage across the series. The preferred current densities are generally dependent on the individual solution to be treated. Ordinarily, the current density is adjusted during operation to achieve the desired results. Preferred solution temperatures for ciperation of the present invention are usually in-excess of 25 degrees C. but preferably range from about 40 degrees centigrade to the boiling point of the aqueous solution. Temperature is not particularly critical, the
only requirement being that the solution be fluid at the temperature employed. The optimum temperature may vary somewhat with the particular nature and concentration of the solution and the design of the cell.
After a period of use, the cathodes may be simply discarded, or treated to recover or remove the metal which assessor,
has plated on them. In such treatment, it is common to take a solution which will preferentially dissolve the plated metal.
better understanding of the present invention may be had in light of the following examples which are set forth to illustrate, and are not to be construed to limit the present invention.
Example I A pilot plant test was run with a cell having three cathodes of mesh pads one-inch thick. Each mesh pad had a stiffener for support. The stiffener was an eightmesh nickel screen to which an electrical connection was made. The pads, one foot square, were constructed of woven nickel wire of approximately .006 inch in diameter and had a wire surface to pad volume ratio of 288 square feet of surface area per cubic foot of cathode volume. Anodes of an eight-mesh wire screen fabriof 0.032 inch diameter nickel wire were inserted between the cathodes and at each end of the cell.
A. fifty percent sodium hydroxide solution at 102 degreas centigrade was passed through the cell at a rate of 1.6 gallons per minute. The voltage applied was 2.5 volts, at which voltage a cathode current densityof 2.1 amperes per square foot was obtained. The sodium hydroxide product charged was slightly blue in color and contained about 35 parts per million of iron based on the sodium hydroxide content. After passage through the cell, the sodium hydroxide solution contained four parts per million of iron on the same basis and had attained a water-white color. Plating of iron occurred throughout each cathode. Analysis of the deposit formed on the cathodes showed that iron, copper, nickel and lead had been removed from solution.
Example 2 A cell having rotating cathode pads was employed. The cathode pads were circular discs having an overall diameter of about 12 inches and a center aperture of 2 inches in diameter. Thesecathodes were constructed with pads of one-half inch thickness of mesh material of the type described in Example 1 on each side of the five-eighth inch mesh nickel screen stiffener. The cathodes were attached to a fiveeighth inch vertical shaft and rotated. A total of eight cathodes were thus assembled on the shaft. Anodes, also circular in shape andwith circular central apertures, were made of ten gauge nickel plate. These were inserted between the cathode surfaces. The anodes were stationary and assembled inside the cell which was a vertical cylindrical vessel of approximately fourteen inch internal diameter.
Sodium hydroxide solution to be treated was introinto the cell at the bottom and discharged at the top In one run, sodium hydroxide solution was fed to cell at the are of one gallon per minute, contained fifty percent by weight of sodium hydroxide and was at a temperature of 58 degrees centigrade. The solution also contained about 31 parts per million of iron, based upon anhydrous sodium hydroxide content. The cathode surfaces were rotated at a rate of about 135 revolutions per minute and the cathode current density was about 2.1 amperes per square foot of total cathode surface area. The product obtained from the cell contained less than one part per million of iron, a greater than 96 percent removal of the iron present. Plating of iron occurred throughout the cathode.
Example 3 Cathodes made of pads similar to those in Example 1 were reciprocated in a cell in an up and down direction at a rate of from about 130 to about 240 cycles per minute, the amplitude of the reciprocating motion being from'about one-half to about one-inch. When an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution containing about 35 parts per million iron was passe thro g the cell,
d results similar to those set forth in Examples 1 and 2 were obtained. The removal of iron from the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution was highly efficient. Plating was observed to be uniform throughout: the cathodes.
Example 4 .--C0mparati ve Mesh cylinders were prepared from 2-inch by 24-inch strips of nickel wire mesh, the wire having a diameter of 0.007-inch, rolled into a cylinder one and five-eighth Electrical contact with the cylinder.
inches by 2 inches. was established using an insulated nickel wire connected to the bottom of the meshcylinder.
rnesh cylinder almost touched the bottom of the beaker.
An anode was made of a circular section of nickel screen 1 one and one-half inches in diameter, the screen being of the same material used to fabricate the mesh cylinder The anode was positioned slightly above the cathode. cathode in the beaker and electrical contact was estab lished therewith in a manner similar to that employed with the cathode. In operation, the beaker was filled with test solution, current was passed through the solution for i an appropriate amount of time, and the results observed.
About 300 milliliters of an aqueous solution containing fifty percent NaOH and five percent copper was used as the electrolyte. through the solution for about ten minutes. The entire run was conducted at about 70 degrees centigrade. At the end of this time the mesh cathode had copper plated only on the portion which faced the anode.
Example 5 An aqueous solution of 50 percent NaOH containing about parts per million of copper was clectrolyzed in the apparatus and under substantially the conditions described in Example 4. Uniform deposition of copper wasobtained throughout the wire mesh cathode.
Example 6 Employing an apparatus substantially as described in Example 4 an aqueous solution containing 50 percent NaOl-l and 100 parts per million zinc was electrolyzed at 0.5 ampere for 10 minutes at a temperature of about.
Example 7 In substantially the same manner as Example 6, a 50 percent aqueous sodium hydroxide bath containing about 100 parts per million iron was electrolyzed at 70 degrees. Electrolysis was carried on at about 0.5.
ampere for 10 minutes. After electrolysis the cathode.
was removed and washed with a copper-containing solu- I tion in order to expose the iron deposited areas. Examination of the washed cathode indicated that uniform plating throughout the wire mesh cathode had occurred.
Example 8.--C0mparative In substantially the same manner as Examples 6 and 7, a 50 percent aqueous sodium hydroxide solution containing about 2 percent zinc was electrolyzed at 70 degrees centigrade. Electrolysis was carried on at about 2 amperes for about 3 minutes. Higher amperage than was previously used was employed due to the higher activity of the. zinc. Washing with copper solution and examination of the cathode after electrolysis indicated that only the portion of the pad closest the anode contained zinc deposit.
The mesh cylinder was inserted in a beaker such that the bottom. of the.
An average of 0.5 ampere was passed.
Exampl'c 9 A group of nickel mesh cathodes as hereinbefore described were subjected to electrolysis at about one ampere for 10 minutes in various solutions with the following results:
Electrolysis of an aqueous solution containing 50 percent NaOH and 0.5 percent copper resulted in deposition only at the portion of the cathode closest to the anode.
Electrolysis of an aqueous 50 percent sodium hydroxide solution containing 100 parts per million of iron resulted in uniform deposition of iron throughout the wire mesh cathode.
Electrolysis of an aqueous solution containing 50 percent sodium hydroxide and 100 parts per million copper resulted in uniform deposition of copper throughout the wire mesh cathode.

My family and I have been going to the Echo Motel and Cottages for the past 10 years. We began this yearly trip when my children were small and we fit comfortably in one of the motel kitchenettes. We never had issues with space. We managed to cook a breakfast every morning. We were supplied all the dishes and cooking utensils we needed. Whenever we decided to cook dinner instead of going out, we had the luxury of using one of the barbeques that are supplied. If we decided to eat out side we could use one of the tables either on the second floor or the one on the lower level. My kids start talking about going back to the Echo Motel as we are driving off.
Now that they are older and have friends that they bring, we are renting one of the cottages that is very well maintained and kept clean. We also like using the pool after a day at the beach, the beach is steps away. The cottage we rent Echoside, It is very spacious and clean and there is ample room for the 6 of us.
We would not stay anywhere else, except the ECHO MOTEL AND COTTAGES!!

From frontiersmen to congressman, multiple Tennesseans gained war fame
When archivist Tom Kanon speaks on the War of 1812, he usually begins by asking the crowd what words or names they associate with the war.
The two most common responses: Andrew Jackson and the Battle of New Orleans.
"I have said that not mentioning Andrew Jackson when speaking about the War of 1812 is like forgetting to mention George Washington in any discussion of the American Revolution," said Kanon, with the Tennessee State Library and Archives, who is writing a book entitled "Andrew Jackson and the War of 1812 in the South," set to be published by the end of 2013.
Yet despite Jackson's role in the Americans' victory throughout the Southern theater of the war, it is important to note that many other Tennesseans began their rise to prominence during the War of 1812.
Frontiersman Davy Crockett, former Blount County resident Sam Houston, Knoxville founder James White, and even lesser-known names, like Congressman Felix Grundy and Gen. Edmund Gaines, all played roles throughout the war and hailed from the state of Tennessee.
"The War of 1812 was kind of the career-maker for a lot of guys," University of Tennessee history professor Daniel Feller said. "Tennessee played an inordinately large part in the War of 1812.
"It was still a frontier state. Its population was probably less than Kentucky's. If you compare Tennessee to, say, Ohio, where battles also took place, Tennessee took on an inordinate share of that burden, and several Tennesseans became national figures out of it. The core of Jackson's army at New Orleans was Tennesseans. Tennesseans basically fought the Creek War."
White saw his action during the war as a brigadier general during the fall of 1813.
In his mid 60s at the time, White left Knoxville to serve in northern Alabama, according to two separate encyclopedias on the war and verified by Kanon.
The Knoxvillian led an attack on a particular Creek tribe, known as the Hillabees, under the order of Maj. Gen. John Cocke, who was commanding the eastern division of the Tennessee militia. Cocke's soldiers were en route to meet up with Jackson's western division.
Nearly 70 Indians were killed during the raid and more than 250 were captured by White's brigade, David S. and Jeanne T. Heidler's "Encyclopedia of the War of 1812" reports.
Unbeknownst to Cocke, the Hillabees had recently secured a peace agreement with Jackson, and the incident raised the ire of the major general. The incident fueled a bitter rivalry between Cocke and Jackson.
However, one official with James White Fort in Knoxville questions the historical accounts of White's Indian raid, saying the family's written history — correspondence from the time, archived at the McClung Collection in the East Tennessee History Center — never details White actually leaving Knoxville during the war of 1812.
But even a commemorative White newspaper obituary, published on the centennial of his death in 1921, references White's travels to Alabama during the war, noting his advanced age at the time.
It was also during the Creek campaigns that Crockett saw work as a scout for Gen. John Coffee and that Sam Houston suffered three injuries in the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, allowing Houston to become associated with Jackson.
"Jackson takes notice of this brave young officer and takes Houston under his wing to become his protégé," said Tennessee State Museum extension services curator Myers Brown. "Houston's rise to political dominance as governor of Tennessee and later as governor of Texas and of course as the president of the independent Republic of Texas each began with the War of 1812."
The war Hawks
Nationally, Tennesseans also played a political role during the war, as Felix Grundy led a group of congressmen called "the War Hawks" in declaring war against Great Britain.
According to Kanon, Grundy represented "western" concerns during the early 1800s, and those concerns were land and Indians.
While costal states wanted war due to the impressment of American sailors into the British Navy and the British interference into American trade with France, the frontier states of Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee were more concerned with further expansion into Indian territory.
The frontier state leaders were under the impression that the British were stirring up the Indians, whether it was true or not, Kanon said.
On the canadian border
Gen. Edmund Gaines, of Kingsport, Tenn., also played a key role — but his action was on the Canadian border.
"He is placed in command of Fort Erie, which is taken by the United States on the Canadian side of the border," Brown said. "The Canadians, the British and their Indian allies launch a counter attack to try to retake that fort.
"Gaines successfully defends the fort to the loss of over 1,000 British, Canadians and Indians. He is only one of two Tennesseans to be awarded Gold Medals from Congress for the War of 1812, the other being Andrew Jackson."
Kanon says the reason that Gaines is not widely-known in his home state is that his northern campaigns did not directly affect those in the South.
- Felix Grundy, a U.S. congressman for Tennessee from 1811-14, has counties named after him in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Tennessee. Grundy also served as a mentor to future President James K. Polk.
- Sam Houston, a former resident of Blount County, Tenn., has cities named after him in Texas, Mississippi, Minnesota and Missouri as well as a county in Texas.
- Both William Trousdale and William Carroll, who each served in the War of 1812 and later became governor of Tennessee, have counties named after them in Tennessee.
- Edmund Gaines, a native of Kingsport, Tenn., has cities named for him in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee and Michigan. Gaines also has a fort commemorating him in Mobile, Ala.
- Gov. Willie Blount, the half brother of Southwest Territory Gov. and Knoxvillian William Blount, is the great-great grandfather of Tennessee's 34th governor, Harry Hill McAlister. Blount has a county named after him in Alabama for his role in the Creek War.
- James Winchester, who served as a brigadier general in the Army of the Northwest during the War of 1812, was captured and held for more than a year after a failed attack to retake a portion of southern Michigan from the British. Winchester later founded Memphis with Andrew Jackson and John Overton in 1819.
- Davy Crockett's namesakes include Crockett, Texas, Crockett County, Tenn., Fort Crockett in Galveston, Texas, and the M28/M29 Davy Crockett Weapons System.

One Sin Away from Disaster, the Seal Beach Massacre
By Phillip E Hardy
Rated "G" by the Author.
I am a local coming to terms with the senseless tragedy in Seal Beach yesterday.
On Monday night, coyotes were the top story in my community. The local news affiliate reported one of the marauding animals killed someone's small terrier. The following evening, I was excited when I saw one of the wild beasts while riding my bike. The day afterward, a despairing man who lives an only mile away from me perpetrated the most prolific slaughter in the history of Orange County. What a difference a day makes in your perspective.
Seal Beach is a few miles down the road from where I live in Huntington Beach. It is an idyllic, tranquil seaside hamlet just north of urban Long Beach. My wife and I have often frequented their array of restaurants, bars and trendy shops on Main Street; and have taken relaxing walks on their pier. It is a town where people go to unwind, forget their stress and soak in the California sun. All that changed when a 41-year old man named Scott Dekraai walked into The Salon Meritage and murdered eight defenseless people.
Until yesterday, the alleged killer lived on a street I have driven past many times during my eleven years in the neighborhood. By his next door neighbor's account, he was an "easy going" man, who played ball with his son, and was often helpful to the people who lived on Melody Lane. Like his neighbors, the families and friends of the victims and our local media, people need to understand what caused a middle aged father to come apart at the seams; and succumb to unbridled evil.
Early accounts have surfaced that Dekraai suffered a maritime accident in 2007 that left him permanently mutilated and disabled. Since then, the once physically active father experienced a rapid bodily decline, a contentious divorce and subsequent custody battle. The Orange County Register reported that he has post-traumatic stress disorder and possibly bouts of bipolar disorder. This might tend to engender my sympathy; but then I think about the poor souls who now suffer from the permanent depravation of life.
Recently, I heard Pastor Jack Graham say something to the effect that "we are all just one sin away from disaster." Though I have been blessed with much in life, I am acutely aware that the situation could change. With a few misfortunes, I could lose the things I hold dear. I would like to think like most ordinary folks, I could never do anything so cowardly and despicable. I sit comfortably in my office pronouncing judgment, with the sun shining and the birds singing outside my window. I cling to the illusion that I have control of my fragile world; and I can accept the challenges that fate throws my way.
It is ironic that I heard about this tragedy while returning home from attending a funeral. Yesterday, I joined a family in celebrating the life of a fellow man that had a long and productive journey. Four days ago, Huntington Beach was a town that thought scrounging coyotes were a crisis. Today, we are a community suffering the shock that one of our own destroyed the sleepy daydream of security enjoyed by our neighboring community. A place where until yesterday, people lived, worked and played in safety and prosperity. There but for the grace of god...

How much per sq/ft to paint room?
I don't know about Mass. but a good painter figures in the size of the room, condition of the walls, and the number of doors and windows. Each door and window will slow the painter down because of the time it takes to cut in around it.
A good painter will rarely if ever quote one coat. Its usually two coats or two coats plus a primer coat. And they will not use cheap paint. They figure it all up front, not to make extra $$ off you, but to avoid call backs. IF he does one coat and you aren't happy with it, you will not forget you only wanted to pay for one coat.
Best bet - get three quotes and pick the middle one.
Many residential painters can and will vary greatly in price and probably do not calculate their estimates based on sq footages, but rather ceiling heights, amount of trim and whether or not they can spray the majority of the work-- how many different colors on different walls.
In Texas, the average price of painting a room (regular size and normal amount of trim)- with one wall latex color, ceiling white, and one different enamel trim color would be about 350 dollars. (for walls, ceiling, and trim).
If someone just wants to get their trim replaced, painted or stained, we usually charge about a dollar per linear foot to replace and a dollar to paint or stain-- plus the cost of the wood. If a wall with 8' ceilings needs to be painted-- 12-16 ft wide-- usually a hundred dollars per wall if the customer does not want the whole room done.
Cabinets are a whole different story and totally depends on the job

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's at age 44, and at the beginning as symptoms started to appear and make themselves known to me, I paid close attention to my driving. The last thing I wanted was to be driving when I shouldn't. I had no intention of putting myself in danger, or worse still causing an accident and hurting someone I love or any innocent victim.
I will admit many things, one of which is my inability to follow a map, and poor sense of direction. Well, if I were being totally honest, I'd confess, I have no sense of direction whatsoever. My husband will quite happily back me up on this point for I have demonstrated on many occasion, much to my shame and his amusement, getting lost even in familiar surroundings.
How many times have you been asked by a doctor; "On a scale of 1 - 10, how bad is the pain?" Unfortunately I've been asked this question too many times to count. I realise a doctor needs some indication, a clue as to what he/she is dealing with, but I wonder how helpful this unreliable approach really is.

Electropop is a type of electronic-based pop music characterized by a distinctive low frequency synthesizer sound which might variously be described as crisp, crunchy, crackly, fuzzy, warm, distorted or dirty. The term is distinct with the cleaner sounding dance pop or the sparser sounding synth pop, though the lines between them are often blurred or non-existent in practice. Despite first emerging as early as the mid-70s or so via artists such as Yellow Magic Orchestra, Telex, and Yello, the genre didn't break through commercially into the mid-80s about...

One thing that has been bugging me in an otherwise great phone, is the wifi signal, quite weak to say the least, my Sony Xperia Z is roughly 2 bars stronger in the same place, in fact, so is my Q10 and various mobiles I have collected over time (Xiaomi Mi2s, Pantech 840s), annoying to say the least, tried all the tweaks and settings mentioned here and elsewhere and while they may help some, for me the signal is still very poor.......
Was watching an excellent tear down video here:
When he mentioned making sure the little contacts for the antennas were sufficiently bent upwards to make a good contact, very interesting!
So I carefully popped off the back after taking out all the twelve little screws, and proceeded to gently bend upwards the two connectors for GPS and wifi, I also ever so slightly roughed the silver connector with a fine needle, all done in theory to aid signal.....
As for the results, well, with the same ROM, and no router reboot etc.... the wifi that used to hover at one signal pip, maybe two, now moves between two and three, it even went full bar briefly, which it had never done before from the spot I used! And there are a few more SSID's in the list too
I am now as you would expect, very happy, the wifi still isn't fantastic, but it's a damn sight better now!!
Please don't try this and then blame me if you mess up your phone, I take no responsibility if you do, posted this just because I was quite surprised with the results!

Clean to the extreme
Published: Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 3, 2003 at 12:03 a.m.
What do you do when the face in your rear-view mirror is foaming at the mouth? Gladys Molitor, the principal witness in this case, first made sure there was no immediate danger to the driving public.
Then she hurried home to call and tell me about it. "I was driving on Barrow Street," Molitor reported, "and at the traffic light at Belanger Street, I noticed white bubbles around the mouth of the driver of the white van behind me."
"I have seen drivers doing all kinds of things; reading, talking on cell phones, doing their hair, putting on makeup, but this was different." But by the time the light changed Gladys had figured it out. The other driver was merely brushing her teeth.
Questions remain: So it was not rabies, nor an extreme case of "road rage," just someone freshening up or preventing cavities. And, I have been informed since Gladys called last week, the mobile tooth-cleaning practice is not that unusual. "It's what I do, on the way to the dentist," someone told me, apparently unaware that it is like cleaning the house to impress the cleaning lady. So, for some folks, dental care knows no boundaries of inconvenience or place. But where do they spit?
From Denver: Southdown native Eldon Freeman entertains me from time to time with long, verbose e-mails in which he complains about the abuse heaped on him by his wife.
"I am considered to be a semi-quasi expert on wives," Eldon wrote recently in a copyrighted electronic letter, "which is about as good as any husband can get."
Warning: Eldon's brand of matrimonial humor is of the sort guaranteed to elicit wifely abuse. Husbands should avoid smiling at anything Eldon says, even in private. His collection of borrowed observations demonstrates just how wrong he is.
For example: "Every man needs a wife because sometimes things go wrong that you can't blame on the government."
"Getting married is like getting hanged, it's a lot less stressful than it made out to be."
"All men are born free and equal until they get married."
"When man marries he finds out he has only two faults; everything he says and everything he does."
"Never under estimate the power of a woman and never, never over estimate her weight."
"To make a man happy, a wife should treat him like a dog; give him plenty of affection and keep him on a loose leash."
"Just because a wife says she misses her husband doesn't mean she loves him. It might mean she can't throw straight."
"It has been said that the biggest surprise a wife can get for her anniversary is for her husband to remember it."
Chuckle with Le Petit: Later this month, between plays, Le Petit Theatre de Terrebonne is presenting "A Mid-Summer Night's Chuckle -- For Grownups," featuring professional stand-up comics Don Frieson and Ken LaFrance, and Thibodaux's Steve Shaw. Performances are 7 and 9:30 p.m. Aug. 23 at the downtown theater. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. Call the box office at 876-4278 for information.

In the last 18 games, Howard has 10 sub-.900 save percentage performances. Of those 10, 9 resulted in a loss, including the last 3 games. His goals-against over the last 18 games is 3.333 per game.
Is his defense crap? Yes, but at what point do we stop making excuses for him and accept that if you are going to be a good goaltender, you have to make the difficult saves, especially at crucial points in the game. As I've said elsewhere, he allows his glove hand to dip, resulting in two goals tonight, his rebound control is as bad as its ever been (which is really saying something with Howard), and the way he has been the last few games reminds me of his early season stretch of awfulness. By the the second goal you could read in his body language that he was feeling sorry for himself. He looks lethargic at times and he is allowing back-breaking goals.
Is the problem honestly that this injury-depleted team can't score an average of 4+ goals per game to win? Bad as our defense has been, Howard has been just as bad, and getting worse.

Howard has to play better than this. Yes, the defense is bad but those were both makeable saves.

4 goals in the last 4 games with back to back shutouts by the opposing goalie. Can't just continue to feel sorry for themselves with the injuries...someone needs to step up at some point. Been pretty disappointed with Nyquist as of late.

Yes, but I still think it's unfair that he gets to use a .44 Magnum. I think it gives him an unfair advantage on the ice. No goalie is going to stop that shot. Well, maybe Hasek ... with his teeth!

Tough, But A Good Preparation Book For The GMAT
I am of the opinion that no matter what book you use or how much you prepare you are likely to make approximately the same score because the GMAT does not test knowledge, but it does require a fairly high level of math intellect. However, this book met my needs by giving me practice problems that got my mind accustomed to thinking the way I would have to think on the test. I disagreed with the author on some of the answers to the problems. Some of the questions asked seemed very abnormal, but it prepares you to think out of the box. All in all it's a good GMAT prep book with tough problem examples. I would recommend it to someone studying for the GMAT.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

This past week saw the closing of a fellow long time organization running programs in TSL, Eye4You Alliance, which was run by the Charlotte Public Library
Through the years, there has been a lot of crossover between teens in our programs in Teen SL and those at Eye4You, and in fact I learned of it's closing from the prolific teen blogger Daniel Voyager, who took part in both GK Island and Eye4You.
We are sorry to see our friend's and collaborators leave this virtual worlds space and wish them luck with future projects.
They have end of project update on their site at http://eye4youalliance.youthtech.info/.
Last Friday was the conclusion of the "I Dig Zambia" virtual summer camp, co-organized by the Field Museum and Global Kids. I Dig Zambia was a two-week camp that brought together 19 teens from Chicago and New York to learn about paleontology, biology, and Zambian culture and politics in the virtual world of Teen Second Life.
Now that our teens have solidified their Second Life skills and learned how to work with their teams across cities during the first week, we ramped up our activities to be more intensive and collaborative. It was by no means an easy week for our virtual campers, but I think it was engaging, surprising, and often fun.
This blog entry follows up on my previous post about Week One of IDZ. What follows is a recap of some of the main activities during Week Two of I Dig Zambia and an overall summary of IDZ. Read on...
Fossil Exhibit Creation and Presentations
The first thing I learned was what paleontology means, the second thing I learned was what it means to be eco-friendly to your environment, and the struggles that the kids have to go through with AIDS/HIV in Africa.
My favorite experience was when we learned the games that the played in the Grassroots football team in Africa, like how they used games to teach kids about AIDS/HIV, how you can't just tell from how a person looks if they have AIDS/HIV or not.
Learning in second life has been really awesome for me because I can't physically go to Zambia and dig for fossils and doing it on second life sped up the process because I don't think I have the patience or the skills to get the fossils out safely. But some of the bad things about doing this on second life was the lagging it was a disaster having to wait and kept getting booted of the site, other than that it was a really great experience and I'm looking forward to joining more second life programs.
This program has been a good learning process for the past two weeks. I think its different from regular programs because we actually do stuff but when we are in second life we can do and become anything we want, it's like we are starting over brand new and fresh.
Three things I learned about paleontology that I didn't know about before are that:
that the same fossils can be found on several different continents because of the the continents split of millions of years ago leaving animals spread up from each other. I learned that dinosaurs are not the only type of fossils that are left on the earth today. There are a lot of others that can be found but can look similar. And that when digging up the fossils they can break very easily just because they have become very fragile due to the different weather conditions and because of how they were exposed above the earth so the animals that were alive could have easily have access to it and could have done things to make it break and spread all over the earth or they could have eaten it .
My favorite experience in IDZ would most likely be just how we worked in second life. I say this because I have never been involved in second life before and just the thought of working as a character of myself have been very interesting. Also just because we got to socialize with other people it felt more comfortable doing it in second life than if I had to do it in real life.
Paleontology is the study of fossils and the process of digging up fossils. in the past week i learned that paleontology requires a lot of hard work, during fossil digging there is a method used to get a fossil, and a lot of group work and communication is needed to complete a task.
My favorite experience with IDZ was taking our bits of fossil bones to create the animal. This was fun because our team work was perfect and this made us finish up first and be recognized as the leading team.
Over the past 2 weeks, I learned that group work helps complete a task in a shorter amount of time and participation and concentration results to a nearly perfect exhibition. Participation and focus will help me in the future because it will help me understand the work and raise accurate and educated points.
Learning in second life was a totally new and interesting experience. Although it was difficult at first, I got used to it and learned through the images, chats and blogs. Some pro's in learning with second life are: you get to see your task and show it according to your taste, we get to chat with our groups in pretty cool tents, we get to fly :), and we get to possess cool items which help us learn. Some con's are: our characters some times lag which makes it frustrating when we are in the middle of a task and the graphics need some improvement.
YAY!! Last blog!! Not that I don't like blogging, it's just that it becomes more of a chore than something fun to do after.
I learned a lot about Zambia and paleontology. I learned how fragile fossils are and how long it takes to find and carefully extract it from the earth. I also learned that this is not a future career for me. Way too much school and a life time of hard work.
MY favorite part of IDZ was our letter from Jeff and Alta. They let us know what was going on and how closely our lives can be related to the lives you youth in Zambia. Zambia looks like a very beautiful place and I would love to visit some day.
I don't think I learned new skills but i did find out some new computer and second life short cuts. Second life is great. I have a personal second life account but using second life to learn about first life things is really cool and way better than boring books. It can be a little tricky if it is your a first time second life user but once you figure out how to move about and move things it become enjoyable. Second life is cool because you can create the material need to fully understand what ever is being taught. But there are those annoying lag issues.
I had a ton of fun and hope I can do something like this again. Made some new friends too. This may be the last thing I do with GK :( I enjoyed every moment. :)
I have learned many new things about Paleontology. The most interesting thing that I learned was the process of preparing. Before, when I walked into a museum, I thought that the bones were extracted as complete artifacts. Now I know that people called Preparers actually make the bones look worthy of presentation and that the process of preparing bones is very difficult. I also learned more about how the shape of a fossil can determine different things about the way that they lived their lives. I learned many things that surprised me. For example, I finally learned how scientists determine where to dig when they are in search of fossils.
My favorite experience in I Dig Zambia was participating in the soccer and AIDS activity. I didn't like the soccer part so much, but I loved the effect that the program was having on local communities in Zambia. AIDS relief is an issue that is near and dear to my heart. This year I wrote a thesis paper on the U.S AIDS relief program PEPFAR and the paper didn't exactly portray the program in a great light. I thought that it was awesome that a small group of people could start such an effective program. I liked the fact that we discussed political and social issues in Zambia instead of only focusing in on the paleontology.

During the entire process of digging up fossils there were many different times the green team had to problem solving. Like when we were digging we had two people to each fossil one brushed and the other watered that way retrieving the fossils was faster. Where if i was by myself doing it it would've taken a longer period of time.
The research I had to do was to find out the type of habitat the Dicynodont lived in and to find out what type of food did eat. Considering it's a herbivore it only eats plants (trees, grass, bushes, flowers, etc.). The important facts that I put in was that it was cold when it was living, and what I left out that it only ate plants close to the ground because it cant climb trees and it is to short to reach anything higher than that.
I don't think if the U.S. went to a different country they will have the same power but they probably will have a big influence on the other countries, if we give them good advice to help out with their country's problems (aids, food, global warming, etc.).
