Hi guys, Sloping in around the corner after the fracas the other day ... been meditating on an Ode to Sherlock, but as yet haven't come up with anything apt, still in shock. Who else got the GOB (Grand Order of the Boot)? I seem to have missed any other 'offender' being obvious - I think most folk 'had a go' whilst the chaos was in progress. Decided today that when subs renewal comes around next March I'm going to quit. Yes, I had just paid my dues when it was all change .... and now this stupidity. Really hacked off about it all, really, really hacked off .... Jane PS: Thanks for listening! |

More particularly, the invention concerns polymeric films having properties that make the film useful for cling wrap film, such as that used for wrapping pallet loads of various materials. Known polymeric materials used for cling (also known as stretch) wrapping of palletized loads include polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. U.S. Pat. No. 4,222,913 teaches the use of a three-component blendfor cling wrap formulations, the components being an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer as the base resin, a polypropylene copolymer added to achieve a thin film gauge, and a third component as a tackifier. The patent teaches that the ethylene-vinylacetate and the polypropylene copolymers should have similar viscosities (for compatibility during blending) and refractive indices (for optical properties). The low molecular weight tackifier tends to bloom to the surface, giving the necessary clingproperties. Prior 2-component systems, such as low density polyethylene base resin and a glyceryl mono-oleate tackifier, show easy processing, but they typically have a low tackiness, with the tackiness failing at temperatues below about 40° F.,leading to storage and customer use problems. It is an object of this invention to produce a 2-component cling film composition that overcomes at least a majority of these deficiencies. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is a composition suitable for use as cling film, the composition comprising from about 90 to about 97.5 wt.% of an ethylene polymer selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, low densitypolyethylene homopolymers, and linear low density polyethylene resins, and from about 2.5 to about 10 wt.% of an ethylene-propylene copolymer. Optionally, a minor amount of an antioxidant, such as BHT (butylated hydroxy toluene) or BHEB (butylatedhydroxy ethylbenzene), can be added to the composition for protection against degradation during processing. Antioxidant in the amount of from about 100 to about 1000 ppm, preferably about 300-400 ppm (based on the finished film) can be added. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A major component of the composition is an ethylene polymer selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, low density polyethylene homopolymers, and linear low density polyethylene resins. There are many ethylene-vinylacetate copolymers commercially available, with varying vinyl acetate contents. I have found that an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl acetate content of from about 3.0 to about 15 wt.% of the total copolymer, (or, more narrowly, fromabout 3.5 to about 8 wt.%) when combined with a suitable amount of a tackifier, furnishes a useful cling wrap film. In the present invention, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers having approximately 92 wt.% ethylene and about 8 wt.% vinyl acetate, whenmixed with a tackifier, furnish a desirable cling wrap film, while a preferred composition comprises of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having from about 4 to about 5 wt.% vinyl acetate and about 95-96 wt.% ethylene. Low density polyethylene homopolymer can also be used as the major component of this composition. There is a wide range of ethylene homopolymers available for use in this invention, with densities ranging from about 0.916 to 0.928, and with amelt index varying from about 0.2 to about 6.0. The extremes of density and melt index are characteristic of polyethylenes that are not optimum for cling wrap applications. Formulations made with ethylene homopolymers outside these ranges of densityand melt index tend exhibit minimum or undesirable cling wrap performance. Low density polyethylene homopolymers are known in the polymer art and need not be discussed further here. Linear low density polyethylene is a relatively new ethylene copolymer, but it is becoming more widely used daily. This copolymer of ethylene and 1-alkenes, such as 1-butene and 1-octene, has physical properties similar to the conventional lowdensity polyethylene described above, but it also has excellent elongation, good tear resistance, good tensile strength, and good puncture resistance. These properties are desirable for cling/strength wrap film applications. Broadly, the range of ethylene polymer in the composition is from about 90 to about 97.5 wt.%. More particularly, the range can vary from about 94.5 to about 97 wt.%. A preferred range is from about 95 to about 96 wt.%. The ethylene-propylene copolymer used as a tackifier in this invention is preferably a low molecular weight amorphous copolymer in which the ethylene content varies from about 1 to about 7 wt.%, and which has a viscosity (measured at 500sec-1 and 380° F.) such that the ratio of the ethylene polymer viscosity to ethylene-propylene copolymer viscosity is from about 100 to about 100,000. A preferred ethylene-propylene copolymer for use in this invention is POLYPOL 19, aproduct of Crowley Chemical Company. This particular product has an ethylene content of about 3 to 5 wt.%. The weight % of the ethylene-propylene copolymer in the composition varies from about 2.5 to about 10. A more suitable range is about 3-5.5wt.%, while a preferred range is about 4-5 wt.%. Due to the tackiness of the ethylene-propylene copolymer component of the composition, I have found that the composition of the invention is best produced in final form in an extruder. One way of accomplishing this is to add the major component,the ethylene polymer, to the hopper of the extruder and then to add the desired amount of the ethylene-propylene copolymer, in melted form, to the barrel of the extruder, which has a mixing screw, to assure thorough mixing of the components before theextrusion of the final film. It has been found that if the components are dry blended, the ethylene-propylene copolymer resin has enough tackiness to form agglomerates, which lead to feeding and mixing problems in the extruder. The addition of the optional antioxidant additive can be accomplished in any of the known ways in the art, such as by addition to the extruder hopper or by dry blending with the major component of the composition before mixing in the extruder. The following examples illustrate the invention: EXAMPLE 1 95 parts of a pelletized low density polyethylene film resin (LDPE), such as Cities Service EF 310 having a melt index of 2.2 and a density of 0.925, were masticated in a Banbury to a typical molten state (about one minute), and 5 parts of anethylene-propylene copolymer (POLYPOL 19, a low molecular weight amorphous polypropylene copolymer containing about 3-5 wt% ethylene) were added, with additional mixing for a total of five minutes. The mixture was fed to a heated 2-roll mill, and theresultant sheet was cut into rectangular pieces and cooled to ambient temperature. The cooled pieces were ground to a convenient size, melted in an extruder, extruded as a strand, cooled, and pelletized. The pellets were fed to a blown film extruder(melt temperature 360° F.) to give a 1 mil-thick film. The film showed good clarity, stretch, and cling properties. The film was stretched about 20-25% in wrapping a loaded pallet, showing typical stretchability. The property of clingabilitywas measured by an in-house procedure. Two strips of a single layer of film of the composition of the invention, each 1 in.×6 in., were overlapped 1 in. to give a contact surface of 1 sq. in. This contact surface was then subjected to a pressureof 1 psi (a 1-lb. weight was placed on the 1 sq. in. contact surface) for five minutes at ambient temperature. The portions of the strip not in contact were then mounted in the jaws of an Instron Tensile Testing Machine, and the jaws (2.5 in. initialseparation) were pulled apart at 10 cm/min. to failure. The force required to separate the lapped area was 810 g/in.2. EXAMPLE 2 The procedure of Example 1 was repeated, except that 95 parts of an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer (Cities Service EF 732, containing 4 wt.% vinyl acetate (VA) and having a melt index of 2.75 and a density of 0.928) and 5 parts of POLYPOL19 were processed to give a cling film. Here, the force required to separate the lapped area was 930 g/in.2. Referring to U.S. Pat. No. 4,222,913, wherein the viscosities of the EVA and polypropylene copolymers had similar viscosities, the constituents of the instant example have the following viscosities, measured at 500 sec-1 and 380° F.: EF732--3,200 poises Polypol 19--0.5 poise Viscosity ratio--6400 (Ethylene polymer/propylene co-polymer) EXAMPLES 3-6 The procedure of Example 1 was followed, using the below-described variations and obtaining the noted cling results: ______________________________________ Ethylene- EVA Propylene Polymer VA Content Copolymer Cling (parts) (wt. % in EVA) (parts) Results ______________________________________ (3) 96 4 4 Comparable to Ex. 2 (4) 96.5 4 3.5 Comparable toEx. 2 (5) 97 4 3 Comparable to Ex. 2* (6) 97.5 4 2.5 Comparable to Ex. 2* ______________________________________ *Developed the cling property slowly required at least 3 days' storage time to develop cling. After this time, cling tests gave results comparable to Example 2. EXAMPLES 7-9 When the procedure of Example 1 is followed, and the VA content of the EVA component varies as noted below, the cling results are: ______________________________________ VA Ethylene- EVA Content Propylene Polymer (wt. % (EVA Copolymer Cling (parts) in EVA) properties) (parts) Results ______________________________________ (7) 95 2.5 MI = 2.0 5 Comparable d. = 0.925to Ex. 2 (8) 95 7.5 MI = 0.75 5 Comparable d. = 0.929 to Ex. 2 (9) 95 12 MI = 0.25 5 Comparable d. = 0.930 to Ex. 2 ______________________________________ EXAMPLE 10 When the procedure of Example 1 is followed and 95 parts of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), having a melt index of 1.0 and a density of 0.920, are mixed with 5 parts of ethylene-propylene copolymer (POLYPOL 19), a mixture similar to thatof Ex. 1 is obtained which, due to the higher viscosity of the LLDPE, is extruded at 410° F. The film gives a cling comparable to that of Example 2. EXAMPLES 11-12 Using the same procedure as Example 2, and using the EVA copolymer of Example 2 but varying the amount of ethylene-propylene copolymer, and by processing at 340° F., due to the lower viscosity, a film having a comparable cling isobtained. However, the use of this composition having higher amounts of the tackifier component leads to tackifier build-up on the processing machinery. The compositions and results of these variations are noted below: ______________________________________ Ethylene- EVA Propylene Polymer VA Content Copolymer Cling (parts) (wt. % in EVA) (parts) Results ______________________________________ (11) 92.5 4 7.5 Comparable to Ex. 2 (12) 90.5 4 9.5 Comparable to Ex. 2 ______________________________________ Field of SearchFood or tobacco contact composition or process of preparing |

Fidel Castro is taking questions from dozens of Cuban ambassadors at the Foreign Ministry and warning them of the threat of global nuclear war, in his most overtly political public act since re-emerging from four years of near total seclusion.
It is the revolutionary leader's fifth appearance in less than a week, and the first in which he met with senior government officials.
With Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez at his side, the former president took questions on Friday for more than 90 minutes from Cuba's ambassador corps.
Castro's other recent appearances include a meeting with workers at a science think tank and taking in a dolphin show at the national aquarium. He has stayed clear of discussing national issues.

Bringing Battle to the Home Front: With the Marines at Tarawa
Will you be watching the Oscars this Sunday? Did you know that a number of films produced by the United States government were nominated or won Academy Awards? One such film is With the Marines at Tarawa, which brought the experience of a major battle to the American public and consequently won the 1945 Academy Award for best documentary short.
With the Marines at Tarawa hit theaters March 2nd, 1944. Sunday's Oscar broadcast marks the 70th anniversary of the film's release.
The Unites States Marine Corps fought the Battle of Tarawa over four days in November, 1943. At the end of the battle, nearly a thousand Marines were dead, and over two thousand were wounded. Of those holding the island, there were nearly 4700 casualties. Only seventeen Japanese soldiers surrendered; of about a thousand Korean forced laborers, 129 survived the battle.
Beyond the strategic value of the victory, the battle is significant today because so much of it was caught on film by our combat cameramen. Seeing the footage made the experience real for those on the home front, and serves as a record of the horror of war for those of us who watch it now.
With the Marines at Tarawa was carefully crafted to bring viewers into the experience, from the somber mood during preparation, through the chaos of battle, the overwhelming sadness of counting and caring for the dead, and the sense of accomplishment as the American flag was raised on the island.
In addition, the film focuses on how lives were saved by competent medical personnel and the possibility of blood transfusions, a fact that would have provided hope to those with loved ones on the front lines. Viewers are left with a sense of grief, as well as patriotism in knowing that "our boys" were bravely fighting this "war we did not want."

(a follow-up to last year's list)
I'm also thankful for…
I was driving home this morning and something happened that made me instantly think of a caption and a social network. Now, what that something was, I can't tell you. That's how insignificant it was. But my immediate reaction was to share some clever mess online in hopes of being showered with likes, comments and retweets.
That experience and internal dialogue is not uncommon. About an hour before writing this, I pulled out my copy of "August: Osage County" and found a ticket stub from Brown University's 2009 Spring Weekend. Somehow my mind drifted past the mesmerized feelings I'd had during my first crack at Brown's legendary SPRING WEEKEND and instead went straight to "Ooo! Let me Instagram this!" I know I'm not the only one whose mind operates this way.
Thoughtful Thursday Music: "The Joy," Milo&Otis (2013)
I'm so incredibly excited to share this beautiful video with you all today! As I wrote earlier this year, Milo&Otis is an amazing Chicago-based duo, made up of two of my classmates from Brown University. Their debut album "The Joy," released in May 2012, features 11 tracks of soulful goodness, including a love song featuring Chance the Rapper. If you don't want to take my word for it, just read the news; Milo&Otis has been featured in magazines, newspapers (Washington Post, anyone?) and "artists to watch out for" lists for a minute now.
These two deserve all the shine they receive and more. Please support them by listening and sharing their music - thank you in advance!
TODAY'S TASK: "Look at your life, look at the joy you give!" Have faith, no matter what.

Flashback Fridays: "Hangin' On A String (Contemplating)," Loose Ends (1985)
Some of you may hear this and think of Wiz Khalifa, but my mind goes back to being stuck in the backseat, listening to WHUR and MAJIC 102.3 while my parents ran errands.
Though I hated what I perceived as a lack of choice back then, I'll forever be grateful that my mother and father were always in complete control of the radio. Without their strictness, I'd be severely lacking in old school knowledge and Love's Holiday wouldn't exist today. So thank you, past generations, and have a very happy, funky Friday!
Not-So-New Music: "On & On (LAKIM Remix)," Erykah Badu (2013)
Shout out to my home state for cultivating great producers (see Timbaland and Pharrell)! LAKIM hails from Virginia and reworked the Badu classic in early 2013.
The track comes from "Reinterpretations," a project he put out with Potholes In My Blog. Download the 6-track album for free, then check out his Soulection-backed "Esoteric" EP and new remix of Young Dro's hit "FDB."

Wagoner is a city in Wagoner County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 8,323 at the 2010 census,[3] compared to 7,669 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Wagoner County[4]. It became the first city incorporated in Indian Territory on January 4, 1896.[5]

The town of Wagoner began as a small community at the intersection of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) Railway and the Kansas and Arkansas Valley Railway (a branch of the Missouri Pacific Railway), when William McAnally, a foreman for the MKT built a small hotel at this isolated location in June 1887. By the next summer others had built two more hotels and two general stores. The town was named for railroad dispatcher Henry "Big Foot" Wagoner, who had reported the need for a railroad switch nearby to accommodate the shipment of logs and hay. The switch had been previously named "Wagoner's Switch." The switch soon relocated to the town and caused the development of a major cattle shipping business.[5]
By 1894, the community had 642 names in a local census. A local newspaper began promoting the town in 1895, encouraging more people to move to there. By 1896, there were approximately 1,500 residents. In the fall of 1895, the community formed a commission that circulated a petition requesting incorporation under the statutes of Arkansas. Incorporation was granted by the U. S. District Court on January 4, 1896, making Wagoner the first city incorporated in Indian Territory.[5]
A privately funded courthouse was built in 1897, which housed a newly created U. S. Western District Court. The Dawes Commission turned Indian Territory land from tribal to individual ownership by members of each tribe. The individuals were allowed to sell their land to non-Indians, causing a real estate boom in farmland around the area. By statehood, the city had 2,950 residents and was named as the county seat of Wagoner County.[5]
The boom continued through 1910, when the population reached 4,018. The MKT had located a division headquarters in the city, which then had three railroad trunk lines and twenty passenger trains a day. Industries included three grain elevators, a cotton gin, cotton oil mill, iron foundry, hardwood company, cement plant, and roller mill. However, the boom ended in 1913, when the MKT moved its division headquarters to Muskogee. The oil boom farther west and later, the Great Depression, caused a further decline in the city's economy and population.[5]
World War II started a revival of Wagoner's fortunes. The city lay between two war-related Federal Government projects: Camp Gruber to the south and the Oklahoma Ordnance Works to the north.[5]
After the war, several small manufacturing industries took root. Completion of the nearby Fort Gibson Lake in 1950 stimulated the economy and turned Wagoner into a sports and retirement center. The McLellan-Kerr navigational channel made the agricultural area accessible by barges, stimulating farm-related businesses. Highway improvements made Wagoner a bedroom community for Tulsa and Muskogee.[5]
Wagoner is located at 35°57′20″N 95°22′41″W / 35.95556°N 95.37806°W (35.955501, -95.377938)[6]. It is 18 miles (29 km) north of Muskogee, Oklahoma and 40 miles (64 km) east of Tulsa.[5]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 7.0 square miles (18 km2), all of it land.
As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 7,669 people, 2,928 households, and 2,111 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,101.4 people per square mile (425.4/km²). There were 3,152 housing units at an average density of 452.7 per square mile (174.9/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 70.48% White, 9.27% African American, 13.21% Native American, 0.34% Asian, 0.08% Pacific Islander, 0.70% from other races, and 5.92% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.93% of the population.
There were 2,928 households out of which 35.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 52.3% were married couples living together, 15.6% had a female householder with no husband present, and 27.9% were non-families. 25.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 13.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.58 and the average family size was 3.06.
In the city the population was spread out with 28.1% under the age of 18, 9.9% from 18 to 24, 26.3% from 25 to 44, 21.0% from 45 to 64, and 14.7% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 35 years. For every 100 females there were 88.7 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 84.7 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $30,493, and the median income for a family was $35,426. Males had a median income of $28,163 versus $21,331 for females. The per capita income for the city was $14,178. About 12.2% of families and 15.5% of the population were below the poverty line, including 20.2% of those under age 18 and 14.5% of those age 65 or over.

"Beast of Burden" is a song by English rock band The Rolling Stones, featured on the 1978 album Some Girls. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song #435 on their list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" and #433 on the 500 Greatest Rock and Roll Songs of all time.
Inspiration and recording[edit]
A "beast of burden" is a semi-domesticated animal that labors for the benefit of man, such as an ox or horse. The music and some lyrics were primarily written by Keith Richards. In the liner notes to the 1993 compilation disc Jump Back, Richards said, "['Beast of Burden'] was another one where Mick [Jagger] just filled in the verses. With the Stones, you take a long song, play it and see if there are any takers. Sometimes they ignore it, sometimes they grab it and record it. After all the faster numbers of Some Girls, everybody settled down and enjoyed the slow one."
In those same notes, Jagger says, "Lyrically, this wasn't particularly heartfelt in a personal way. It's a soul begging song, an attitude song. It was one of those where you get one melodic lick, break it down and work it up; there are two parts here which are basically the same." The song can be seen as allegorical, with Richards saying in 2003, "When I returned to the fold after closing down the laboratory [referring to his drug problems throughout the 1970s], I came back into the studio with Mick... to say, 'Thanks, man, for shouldering the burden' - that's why I wrote "Beast of Burden" for him, I realise in retrospect."
"Beast of Burden" was recorded from October–December 1977. Although basic lyrics were written before the Stones entered the studio, many of the lyrics on the recording were improvised by Jagger to fit with the smooth running guitars of Richards and Ronnie Wood. Characteristically, Richards and Wood trade off rolling, fluid licks. Neither is really playing lead or rhythm guitar, they both slip in and out, one playing high while the other is low. The song is another famed Some Girls song that features each band member playing their respective instruments without any outside performers; both Richards and Wood play acoustic and electric guitars, with Wood performing the solo.[2]
Release and aftermath[edit]
The song was released as the second single off the album. It charted at #8 in the US. A live version was recorded during their 1981 American Tour and was released as a B-side to "Going to a Go-Go", as well as being reissued on Rarities 1971-2003 in 2005. Another live version was recorded during their 2002-2003 Licks Tour which was released on Live Licks. The single edit of "Beast of Burden" was included on the compilation albums Sucking in the Seventies, Rewind (1971–1984), Jump Back, Forty Licks and GRRR!. A 5:20 version of the song with extra lyrics circulates among collectors.[3] It was taken from the 8-track mix of "Some Girls," which features significant differences from all other versions of the album.
Cover versions[edit]
In 1983, the song was covered by Bette Midler whose video for the song featured Jagger as the guest star. Midler's version, which reached #71 on Billboard's Hot 100, modified several lines of lyric (for example, changing "Pretty, pretty, girls" to "my little sister is a pretty, pretty girl"). The track appeared on Midler's No Frills album.
English band The Kooks have performed a cover of "Beast of Burden" combined with The Velvet Underground's "Sweet Jane".

This morning the Bank of England released its inflation report information. As expected the Bank of England has lowered growth expectations. Weak growth is substantially contributed to by the debt situation in Europe and slowing growth globally. UK GDP and CPI estimated were also lowered. The Governor King also stated that CPI could reach 5% in the short term but expected it to be around 2% in the medium term. He also stated that monetary policy cannot change the short term inflation rate.
I placed trend lines around the previous consolidation pattern. I have also labeled the highest probability Elliott Wave Count. This is much like the traditional head-and-shoulders technical pattern. The breakout below the lower trend line suggests we will continue to have more bearishness. We are likely to have a rebound to the lower trend line or possibly up to 1.6250 before heading lower.
The converging channel lines that have held the trend since mid-2010 have been clearly broken for a while now. We retested the trend support line as resistance and we have fallen very quickly following the retest. The horizontal support line is the neckline for a medium term head-and-shoulders pattern. A break of this support can take us all the way to 1.5500 and from there the long term target is closer to parity.

Masonry prices
I have the typical 4 bed 2 bath bi level (what some people here call high ranch) in New Jersey. I think the brick work in the front of the house really needs to be redone. The house is 40 years old and I'd like to have it redone.
I know that getting an exact price is impossible over these forums but I am just asking for a ballpark figure, perhaps someone else has done this to their house. I would need the existing brick removed and then the new brick installed. http://www.weichert.com/handlers/get...14584&i=647405 Here's the house |
Nice house. Not sure about the price range though. I'm sure some of the members here have experienced that thing. Good luck on that.
remember split entry or raised ranch but you may be in a different part of jersey,,, just to me, your home needs landscape revival,,, brick looks fine to me.
I will post a thread about the lanscape. I was particularly interested in getting some trees in the backyard to block the view of the nearby city water tank. I am not ready with a budget for the front lawn as I think I will $$$ for it and I'm not ready for it but I have to do something with the back soon. |

Reality shows capture real people in their real environs, doing their everyday real things -- with the help of several cameras, boom mics, light filters, multiple takes and story outlines! Lights. Camera. Acting?!
Photographers snapped LC and Whitney -- and a few of their closest "Hills" production staff friends -- enjoying lunch on Thursday. Pretend we're not here!
It's just like a documentary -- and wrestling, Jerry Springer and infomercials!
# 5 and # 7aka Beef Curtains is Spencer. That has always been his moniker. I guess Spencer gets a little jealous when its not about him.
I agree with # 17, of course it has to be somewhat staged how else do you think they're going to film it. Why all the hullabaloo with The Hills? No different than the rest. But there ya go that's TMZ"S deal they worked out with MTV to show hype on the show.
MTV stands for Mostly Television and some Videos. What's up with MTV these days. I stopped watching it for these reasons. Crap crap crap. If I wanted to see junk tv I would watch the View or day time tv. Now I have to watch it all day.
Break down of the conversation between these two bitches;
"Does this drink make me look fat?" (red)
"No." (green)
Does this drink make me look cool?" (red)
"No." (green)
"Do you think guys like me?" (red)
"No." (green)
"Do girls like me?" (red)
"...No." (green)
"Do you think get a raise and get signed for another season?" (red)
"What do you think?" (green)
"I think the papparazzi likes me." (red)
"I think we are doing a show or something." (green)
No you got it all wrong Brody. BEEF CURTAINS means Lauren's crotch is really big. Her labia is really huge like beef. This is according to her sex tape and pictures. it has nothing to do with Spencer even though is a waste of space.
I hope all you losers who watch this stupid show with these ugly ass non-talent whores knew all along this is scripted, all you losers should boycott the show so it will just go away!!!!!!!!!
Will someone please, oh please tell me what the F@%* do that require them to written up every damn day? i don't watch whatever show that they are supposed to be on. I don't think that either one of them has any talent, and apparently they'r not well liked by anybody, so please oh please someone with some sense, make sense of this S*$@. Thank you so much for your help because I just don't get it!
I don't think there are too many people who ever thought The Hills was real. We watch it because it is fun to watch, and it is purely entertainment. I have to laugh at the negative posters who come on this post and say stupid, idiodic comments like "anyone who watches this show is a loser", etc... etc... I'm guessing since these naysayers obviously watch the show themselves, or else how can they know what the show is about. So call me a loser...but you best look in the mirror yourself.
TMZ get a clue. Those aren't photographers, those are the show's producers in that picture.
L.C is classic pretty- nice that she knows bleach blonde is not the way to go like Heidi hoe does- UGH!!!!!
Reality shows are tv's answer to lack of creativity. Why do we watch this crap anyway? They're all staged anyway. The original reality show was Survivor, and if believe they were roughing it with a director, camera crew and crew breakfast, lunch, and dinner you are on crack!
Hey Peg>>> I look in a few times every day. I don't see no stinkin loser. So I guess that means you are al loser. LOSER< LOSER

In response to environmental and dietary cues, the C. elegans orphan nuclear receptor, DAF-12, regulates dauer diapause, reproductive development, fat metabolism, and life span. Despite strong evidence for hormonal control, the identification of the DAF-12 ligand has remained elusive. In this work, we identified two distinct 3-keto-cholestenoic acid metabolites of DAF-9, a cytochrome P450 involved in hormone production, that function as ligands for DAF-12. At nanomolar concentrations, these steroidal ligands (called dafachronic acids) bind and transactivate DAF-12 and rescue the hormone deficiency of daf-9 mutants. Interestingly, DAF-9 has a biochemical activity similar to mammalian CYP27A1 catalyzing addition of a terminal acid to the side chain of sterol metabolites. Together, these results define the first steroid hormones in nematodes as ligands for an invertebrate orphan nuclear receptor and demonstrate that steroidal regulation of reproduction, from biology to molecular mechanism, is conserved from worms to humans.

Our top moments of the week:14. Worst Exit: Controversial Jeopardy! winner Arthur Chu's 12-day winning streak comes to an abrupt end when he answers the final Jeopardy! question with the ...read more
The Bachelor might have just ended, but like most viewers at home, Chris Harrison is still wondering what the heck happened on Monday night.
At the end of the two-hour finale, Juan Pablo sent Clare home, ultimately choosing Nikki. The live audience applauded as Clare gave the Venezuelan a piece of her mind and were also dumb-founded as Nikki professed her love, only to have those feelings hardly reciprocated when he offered her the final rose. At the live After the Final Rose special, things only got more bizarre and tense as a defensive Juan Pablo refused to truly say whether or not he even loves Nikki and all but chided Harrison for asking the questions that anyone who stars on this show is supposed to be asked.
Her nightmare is over: Andi Dorfman has been chosen as the next star of The Bachelorette.
"This is the first time it's starting to feel real," Andi said after the reveal on Monday's After the Final Rose special. "I feel all in, I'm mentally all in, emotionally all in. I'm in a place in my life where I'm so ready for this... At the end of the day I cannot wait to hopefully say, 'You are the one. '"

More Clips & Interviews
The twisted minds of two of the six screenwriters behind Scary Movie- Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg are at it again- this time poking fun at the romantic comedy genre! Date Movie tells the story of hopeless romantic Julia Jones (Alyson Hannigan), who has finally met the man of her dreams, the very British Grant Funkyerdoder (Adam Campbell). But before they can have their "Big Fat Greek Wedding," they'll have to "Meet the Parents," hook-up with "The Wedding Planner" and contend with Grant's friend Andy, a spectacularly beautiful woman who wants to put and end to her "Best Friend's Wedding."
The romantic comedy genre gets skewered 'Scary Movie'-style in this riotous parody. Alyson Hannigan stars as overweight waitress Julia Jones, whose love for a handsome customer prompts her to seek help. Losing weight and gaining confidence, Julia finally scores her man--but can she keep him amidst the challenges of her 'Greek' father and a foxy romantic rival?

It's no secret there's been a ton of negativity surrounding this season of The Bachelor. But while fans, celebrity and otherwise, have shared their distaste for Season 18 star Juan Pablo, it's also been one of the most talked-about seasons in the series' 14-year history. Which begs the question: Does a detested Bachelor actually make for a more successful season?
The Bachelor: Where are they now?
The ladies of The Bachelor were feisty on Monday's Women Tell All, but not amongst each other. Instead of the usual cattiness, this time around the group banded together to attack Juan Pablo.
From Andi's follow-up of last episode's ending to Kelly's emotional reaction to Juan Pablo's off-camera remarks and a bunch of stuff in between, Juan Pablo certainly took his fair share of heat. But it was also surprising who came to his defense, especially when it came to the almost unanimous claim that all his conversations were superficial.
Who needs a rose when you can get a ring? The Bachelor contestant Renee Oteri, who appeared on the current season of the ABC dating show, is engaged, TVGuide.com has confirmed.

If only the walls of The Bachelor's fantasy suite could talk.
What started out as a great date between Juan Pablo and Andi seemingly turned into a nightmare by the next morning. Although the former came away thinking the duo's evening together went well, Andi had a totally different take, later explaining that it was beyond awful. Andi later removed herself from the competition, but on the way out she tried (and failed) to explain to Juan Pablo why she felt he was inappropriate during the night. Plus: She straggled with how little Juan Pablo seemed to care that she was leaving.
On The Bachelor hometown dates, Juan Pablo was met with more than one disapproving family member, but that didn't seem to affect his ultimate decision.
As Juan Pablo traveled to meet each of the four remaining women's families, it was in Atlanta with Andi and Sacramento with Clare that he met the most resistance. While Andi's dad was on the defense almost the minute the pair sat down, in Sacramento it was Clare's older sister Laura whose disapproval left Clare in tears. But even though Juan Pablo appeared to have a tougher time with Andi and Clare, he sent Reneehome after a nearly perfect date.

At the young age of 18, while at the Wesley's Chapel picnic, Opal met the love of her life, Murphy Ragland. They were wed January 19, 1941 and resided in Birmingham, AL until Murphy was called to service in WWII. Following this, the couple moved back to Huberts Cove, a place which they loved, where they had and raised two daughters and many fond memories.
Opal was a devoted mother, who enjoyed birthdays and holidays with her family, all the while cooking for them and making them feel special. Opal lived through many tough times but always had a smile on her face and in her heart as she saw herself as blessed by God. She was an active member of the Wesley's Chapel Church, where alongside her husband, she worked diligently to serve the Lord. She also enjoyed gardening and her beautiful flowers.
For Opal, living to see her family grow from two daughters to five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and a great-great grandchild and doing so next to her husband of 68 years, was the best life one could ask for.
In addition to her parents and her younger brother, Opal is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Murphy as of August 11, 2009. This day, the family that she loved so much and loved her equally can take comfort in knowing that she has joined Murphy and they are with Christ.
Coffee County Funeral Chapel is honored to serve the family of Mrs. Opal Lee Ragland.

Some cats may require an adjustment period to get used to a new litter box. Here are a few tips to help with the transition.
Animals learn by association , so you'll need to adapt what your cat is peeing on now to the litter box in small, slow steps. If at any time your pet goes backwards a few steps, this is an indication you're pushing him/her too far too fast. Slow it down or even back up a stage or two, then try again, but at a slightly slower pace. Your pet only wants to make you happy, so continual praise and reward is the key!
If your cat is peeing on an object such as a small area rug or box:
If your cat is peeing in a specific spot such as a corner or wall:
Remove the four green plastic shipping inserts on the bottom of the litter box. The rake should work correctly after you remove and discard these inserts.
Using the litter tray for more than 30 days per cat may result in urine leakage and tray breakage.
ScoopFree was designed for use with one or two cats. If you have more than two cats, you will need one litter box for every two cats.
Litter trays are 22" x 14-1/2" x 2-1/2". The usable litter bed area is 14" x 14". ScoopFree Free litter trays do not include lids and can be nested, allowing them to be stored in a smaller space.
ScoopFree's litter bed measures 14" x 14", and the exterior litter box dimensions are 27-3/8" x 19" x 7". The height is 16-3/4" with the optional hood installed (the Ultra comes with the privacy hood). ScoopFree Slide's litter bed measures 14" x 14", and the exterior litter box dimensions are 27" x 18-1/2" x 9"H.
When the litter is saturated or the waste trap is full, simply place the cover on the used litter tray and throw it away. Replace the used litter tray with a new one.
To extend the life of your litter tray, do not put any litter underneath the waste trap lid when you pour the litter into the tray. Some people find that mixing the crystal litter once a week also extends the life of the tray. This is extremely beneficial if your cat is ill or has high urine output. It will also benefit cats that do not cover their waste or urinate consistently in the same spot. Be sure to mix the crystals from behind the rake and along the sides of the litter box. Do not mix the litter in the waste trap.
Setup is a snap. Simply lift the litter box and slide in the disposable litter tray filled with Premium Blue crystals litter for unbeatable odor control.
We recommend replacing the litter tray every 20 - 30 days for one cat, every 10 - 15 days for 2 cats, or every 7 - 10 days for 3 cats. You may need to replace the litter tray more often if you have: cats who eat a diet high in crude fiber, ash, and byproducts; cats over 10 years old; cats with health problems; and kittens under 6 months old.
ScoopFree is rigorously tested in our lab for more than 100,000 cycles without failure or jamming.
ou should change the tray when either of the following occurs:
ScoopFree has proven to be very safe in testing. Following are standard safety precautions:
The rake will not sweep if a cat is in the litter box because it will be obstructing the infrared sensors. The countdown timer will reset itself, so the rake will begin to sweep 20 minutes (or 5, 15, or 20 if you have ScoopFree Ultra) after your cat leaves the litter box again.
The Premium Blue litter tray comes preloaded with Premium Blue Crystal Litter that stops odor 5 times better than clay and clumping litter. All Premium Blue litter trays come with a lid. When the tray is ready to be disposed, simply cover it and toss it in the trash.
The Free Crystals Litter Tray is made from recycled materials (paper with no bleach added) and comes pre-filled with premium crystal litter free of perfumes and dyes. Free trays do not come with a lid so the trays nest, making them easier to stack and store in small spaces.
The serial number is located on a sticker on the bottom of the litter box (not the litter tray) on the same end as the indicator light. The serial number is listed after the letters "SN" at the bottom of the sticker. Click here to register your product.

All ScoopFree litter trays work with all ScoopFree litter boxes, including ScoopFree Slide. They do not work with the Simply Clean or Sweep One litter boxes.
Cats over the age of 10 years old tend to be prone to kidney issues which account for increased urine output and decreased litter tray lifespan.
The green indicator light flashes for two reasons:
ScoopFree needs little cleaning because the parts most likely to get dirty are part of the disposable litter tray, which is thrown away. You may occasionally choose to clean ScoopFree as follows:
Do not immerse ScoopFree in water, spray it down, or expose it to excessive sunlight or moisture.
ScoopFree is designed to be left alone for up to 20-30 days with one cat. Most users never have to remove the waste because it is automatically raked into the covered waste trap built into the disposable litter tray.
Never add litter to your ScoopFree litter box or use another type of litter. The Premium Blue Crystal litter is formulated especially for ScoopFree. The amount is carefully pre-measured for optimal performance. Too little or too much litter may cause your ScoopFree to malfunction. You can add two handfuls of your old litter to the Premium Blue crystals in your ScoopFree litter box to help your cat adapt when you first use the box without risking malfunction.
Most cats adapt easily to ScoopFree and use it within 7 to 10 days. If your cat needs help adjusting, we recommend the following:
You will experience minimal tracking with the ScoopFree litter box due to our unique litter formulation. However, we do offer a hood for the Original system (this is included with ScoopFree Ultra) and an anti-tracking carpet for all 3 litter boxes. The hood does not fit ScoopFree Slide due to the manual raking mechanism. Purchase these accessories for the ScoopFree litter box to ensure litter stays where it should.
ScoopFree has a large 14" x 14" litter bed that can accommodate up to two large cats. Most large cats can also easily use ScoopFree with the hood.
The packaging may have changed, but the litter trays have exactly the same litter crystals your cat knows and loves. We're always working to improve our products based on your feedback, so we may upgrade the litter formula in the future. Learn more about our continuous product development process.
