Living in Toronto, this is probably the scariest thing I could hear as a hockey fan. Burke constantly reiterates how there's a 5 year plan to not only get the team into the playoffs, but be a perennial Stanley Cup contender.

If Tampa wants a younger goalie with potential, than perhaps Harding would be an option for Yzerman to sign in free agency. There are many options out there for a goalie without giving up assets.
Nabokov and Vokoun would be great stop gap solutions. No thanks to Harding, who's been injury plagued most of his career and has shown that he can't be a good #1 in this league when given the reigns (since Backstrom's been out with injury).

Why have I not watched this show ages ago?
Of course now I'll have to deal with withdrawal symptoms once it's criminally short time is over, but still. This show is one of the best I've ever seen.
I just watched this movie at the insistence of a friend. I don't think I'll be watching it again.
After all this time saying it looks boring/dumb, I kinda' think I should maybe try it first. However buying it is a pain so I dunno', I'll have to look into it.
Might be fun though, even if I dislike the game, to roam around with friends and stuff. I dunno'.
So for a few months now me and my good friend Iro (Swindle atm on BZP) have been planning a get-together IRL. He was taking a bus up to Canada to my town and we'd chill and do fun stuff and throw snowballs and yeah.
Everything's going good until the night he's supposed to get on the bus; his wallet got stolen with all of his ID, money, and the bus ticket.
So now I have two weeks off work that I have nothing to do with and he's lost all his stuff.
Thanks, universe.
Immature titles aside, this christmas rocked in terms of gifts. We're in the process of moving right now, so we had no tree, no decorations, etc. So really this year christmas was just about gifts.
And family, of course.
Anyway, here's what I ended up getting:
-Ewok Attack lego set
-USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C) 1:1400 model kit
-The Afterman limited edition Gold/Silver Vinyl pre-order by Coheed and Cambria
-So Far, So Good... So What! picture vinyl by Megadeth
-Master Of The Moon picture vinyl by Dio
-Dream Theater Majesty logo car sticker
-bunch of candy
-FINGER SPORK (I bought these for my family and I got one so IDK if it counts but FINGER SPORK)
And now, a bunch of stuff from my grandmother who means well and has been doing really well with gifts lately, but not so much this year:
-Air Guitar (quite literally. It would be awesome if I didn't play real guitar)
-Transformers watch
-light-up shoelaces
-more candy
I swear I'm missing some but you get the idea; it was great. I also have 4 lego sets and a record in the mail that I bought myself, so merry christmas to me from me.
Anyway, same sentiment to you all and I hope everyone had a great time with your family and/or friends and got some sweet gifts.
As soon as I get money over to my paypal I am getting this.
(For those not in the know, it's coheed and cambria's new double album "The Afterman" including Ascension and Descension on silver and gold vinyl with a harcover box and the full story of both albums song-by-song and signed guitar pics and fdhdahwoelfjvjd)
Okay back up to date again, here's days 16 and 17 of both calendars:
For city, we get a little girl who also comes with snowballs like the little boy. Unfortunately, both the boy and girl have the same face. Really, Lego? you couldn't have even added eyelashes or threw in a different face? On the 17th, it's a catapult for larger snowballs much like the one Chols got last year. Woo, I suppose.
We get 2 mini vehicles from Star Wars this time, with the Naboo cruiser from episode I on the 16th and the little green speeder thing also from episode I. That makes 3/4s of the calendar so far mini kits from naboo. Don't get me wrong, Naboo had sweet ships and stuff, but really there's six movies and so far they've covered one and the intro to another. Kinda' lame but these are still pretty cool little models that represent their ships well.
Well... Today was my 8-year anniversary on BZP. I joined this day back in 2004, in my wee noobish years (I was 9, holy carp) and somehow stuck around through the madness and managed to have next to nothing to show for it (look at my post count haha).
So yeah... time to go admire the new spinny, and here's to another year, I suppose.
On day 14, we get a box and flames. I really hope this is an add-on for something later because box(?). The next day we get a third wall, with what appears to be a breather mask/visor and an oxygen tank. 'Kay.
Star Wars gets a jumble of weapons on the fourteenth, with a mostly useless "holder". Lightsaber would be a good foreshadow of what is to come if it weren't that Maul is right on the front cover of the calendar. There is also not enough weapons here to supply all the characters we've got so far. On the fifteenth we get a snow trooper in keeping with the current Hoth theme. Never cared for the look of snow troopers so I'm not too thrilled, but it's a pretty nice fig nonetheless.
And that's all. Christmas approaches, and excitement rises. Even without a christmas tree...
It's official, I'm now an AFOL; I turned 18 today. Still not old enough to go to bars to see shows, but oh well. Next year. My birthday was... average, I guess, not like last year which was fantastic. But it definitely wasn't bad (just a bit too much bickering and whining for my taste; also I wasn't feeling very well most of the day).
But it got better near the end, and I got some really cool gifts:
-Guitar Pick punch-out thingy. Kinda' like a hole punch except it punches guitar picks out of random plastic.
-CAA membership (for if I get stuk in our dangerous winter driving conditions - also came with $20 free gas!)
-Lego CITY advent calendar (I opened it early for obvious reasons)
-Master Of Puppets (Metallica, but you knew that) picture vinyl
-Star Wars Sith robe housecoat
-KRE-O Battleship set
Yeah. The last two were from my grandmother, who had wonderful intentions but did not know the ###### quality of the kre-o sets. The headphones are also garbage unfortunately. However my mom has the receipt for the kre-o, so I'll be exchanging it for some lego instead.
All in all it was a pretty good birthday. The metallica vinyl and sith robe are glorious.
Now, on to the advent calendars:
So on the twelfth day of the countdown we get a firelady, with very nice hair. I really like this hair mold and I've not seen it anywhere else and I don't have it. Could come in handy some day. otherwise she's mostly the same as the fireman, just with a radio instead of a megaphone (it also included two radios). Today's kit is a computer desk, which is pretty wonderful aswell. It comes with a keyboard-printed tile which is amazing, and the screen is done really well. The chair and height of the dek could've been done a bit better but not too big a complaint.
On the star wars end, we get what was predicted in the comments of the weird dish thingy, a generis rebel snow trooper. He's alright, but the face bothers me a bit for whatever reason, and the goggles look incredibly stupid while he's "wearing" them. So I'll just leave them up on his head there. Today we get a kind of silly gonk droid that has the same problem as the AT-AT: it's just a box with feet. Which, granted, that's what gonk droids are, but still. The way they used to build them for the star destroyers and stuff was much more pleasing.
That's all, thank you and goodnight.
Day 11, a bit late because Clone Wars all day.
So, that's what the tires were for. I really should've seen that coming. However, either way, I was pretty stoked on this one - who doesn't love little go cart things? It's deceptively simple, using less pieces than that mini Naboo starfighter a few days back. But I quite like it. (FYI the tires from yesterday go on it; it doesn't come with its own).
I have no idea what this is. It's pretty dumb, IMO. Hopefully it attaches to something? Can't really say anything else, it's a satellite thing with handlebars. Not even any wheels. yeah.
Day ten already, jeez. December's a third over already! Still have my birthday in three days though so yay. Also my BZP anniversary in six days - 8 years, I believe. Anyway, the calendars:
...yeah. Tires and a trolly. I'm grateful for the trolly as I don't have one yet, but... how is this christmas-y? Snow tires maybe? But for what vehicle? Some of these days have been really strange. Anyway yeah, you get four tires but the trolly can only hold three and it's red. That is all.
On the Star Wars side of things, we get (as I predicted) the mini AT-AT walker. It's... kinda' bad. I didn't like the look of it on the box, and I don't like it any more in hand. It looks like a box on tubes. I feel they definitely could have done a bit better.
Finally caught up. Today we get a minifig in each calendar:
Nothing exciting here. A mechanic with a wrench. Though the hat appears to be a new mold; it has a curved brim rather than the flat I'm used to. Came with two of those and two wrenches. Otherwise unremarkable.
And here we have an imperial gunner, it appears. He looks either like the dudes firing the death star or the guy commanding the AT-ATs; i remember neither well enough to say for sure. He's pretty cool I guess, but again nothing amazing. Though I'm predicting the mini AT-AT will be tomorrow's kit.
Okay, we're up to date now, here's the seventh and eighth models for each calendar:
So, on the seventh of december, we get what is possibly the coolest model yet: an RC fire truck with a remote. At first I was thinking it was a kind of stupid looking car, but then I realized it was a firetruck and was awed. Kind of. It's a pretty cool little thing, I think. And today we get (brace yourselves) another brick wall. But this time with skis! Now the only thing I don't get is why does a fire hall (I assume that's what the walls are) have skis? We shall never know.
For Star Wars, we get two especially cool little ships; a Naboo starfighter on the seventh and an episode one Vulture droid that can actually switch from flight to walker mode. I'm pretty thrilled with these, they're nice in terms of detail and aesthetics (for being so small). My only problem is, aside from the star destroyer, every one of the kits has been naboo-related. =/

Kung Fu Hustle
2004 'Gong Fu' Directed by Stephen Chow
From walking disaster to kung fu master.
In Shanghai, China in the 1940s, a wannabe gangster aspires to join the notorious "Axe Gang" while residents of a housing complex exhibit extraordinary powers in defending their turf.

My neighbors are probably wondering what the hell is going on in my apt having heard me laughing out loud while revisiting this film! The 3 back to back scenes involving knives, snakes and road runner-esque chase scene were so funny I thought I was going to bust a gut laughing!
Stunning creativity and imagination generate some truly memorable moments! The special effects dept worked overtime and it really shows!
PTAbro's World Tour Stop 19: China
Fun, frantic, and funny, Kung Fu Hustle is an odd beast - reveling in its own goofiness, yet somehow supremely earnest, Stephen Chow obviously knows his cinema (the shot of Sing and Fong mirroring Astaire and Rogers was sublime), and works to throw everything together into a convincing narrative; Tex Avery cartoons and Bruce Lee exploitationers are just some of the genres skewered in Chow's tornado of referential machismo. Slapstick, verbal barbs, and absurdism add to the light-hearted humor of the piece.
Unfortunately, not all the jokes stick. Chow himself does a fine job playing semi-foil to the anarchy around him, but he's a much better action star than a comedian. And while I…
No more soccer!
I had the misfortune of not having a single good movie in the last 8 films I watched so I needed palate cleanser. Something guaranteed to bring me viewing pleasure and bring me joy for roughly 2 hours. Enter Kung Fu Hustle.
What other film can you watch that will spoof a Road Runner cartoon and pay homage to Way of the Dragon moments later? The same film that will have two characters in a death scene quote lines from Spider-Man, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind and The Untouchables all in the same exchange. It's like a pop culture martial arts party.
If that sounds a little crazy, then you get a good idea about what kind of martial arts is in the film as well. It crosses the line of reality and doesn't care. It's all the better for it.
I'm just happy from beginning to end when I watch this.
I hadn't seen this since it was released a decade ago, but it strikes me that in all that time since Marvel has released like 30 superhero movies and not a one of them is half as entertaining, imaginative and profound as this. And it runs only 99 minutes.
Things I learned on rewatching:
1. Lam Suet! Lam Suet is in this!
2. The landlord and landlady (types in homage to Chor Yuen's The House of 72 Tenants, a non-action movie that was Hong Kong's biggest hit of 1973, topping even the mighty Bruce Lee) are played by Yuen Wah and Yuen Qiu. Yuen Wah, of course, is a longtime stuntman and actor (you can see him as the villain…
A perfect mixture of slap stick and martial arts. One of the best martial arts movies I've ever seen, and it still holds up to this day. Very fast paced, both fight scene and story wise, and does its very best to exclude any filler in between action sequences and dramatic exposition. Stephen Chow isn't an artsy guy, but he does have his own unmistakable style of execution that you can't ignore as art in it's own right. The final 2 fight scenes in this film are only matched or surpassed by a select few films in existence, and overall is living proof that if Dragonball: Evolution had remained under Chow's control, it wouldn't have suck quite as bad.

Funny and brilliant.
If Warner Brother ever made live action looney tunes....
Awesome. Th Th Th That's all, folks.
To call "Kung Fu Hustle" a live-action cartoon might be a little glib, but it also would not be inaccurate. When the notorious Axe Gang -- a terrifying mafia in (I think) 1930s China -- tries to overtake a small, poor village, a few normal-looking (but highly-skilled) Kung Fu masters emerge from the cover normal life.
The fight sequences are sometimes breathtaking, sometimes so over the top that it's nearly impossible to suspend disbelief. Clearly, the plot itself is really just an excuse to move the fighting through several different "boss levels," and sometimes to the detriment of the plot. (I would have liked to see more of the coolie, the tailor, and the baker.)
The film is often pretty damn funny, especially when Sing (Chow himself) is slick-talking. (His lollipop redemption subplot is tacked-on, though kind sweet.) It's a very entertaining flick, but with absolutely no depth whatsoever. It's eye- and mind-candy, but it's a lot of fun.
Honestly surprised that I found this tremendously unfunny. Chow's visual competency takes this much farther than it should and without it, the film would be an utter mess of generally flat gags and shitty melodrama. The denouement of the film caused literally eye rolling more than once.
It almost seems to be of a nega-verse where this is an Edgar Wright movie and Edgar Wright is extraordinarily less talented.
There was something nice in the overall takeaway that there is something exceedingly beautiful in the ordinary of life but man this movie goes to almost not lengths to prove it. On top of being overly expositional and unnecessarily egregious fay/gay stereotypes.
No, Steven Chow, I don't find your interesting framing of butt cheeks funny.
Based on: "Looney Tunes Goes East," the movie.
From the building drums, to the singular slow violin, the overtures' (sync me) for this film. Making me feel, like I have ringside seat, for the next fight.
PERSONAL: What can I say, I'm a F'in fool for Stephen Chow movies.
Kung Fu Hustle, directed by Stephen Chow, is a unique Kung Fu film, with some artistic blend of Kung fu, comedy and CGI effects.
It is also a matter of notice that film delivers wonderful plot with brilliant cast, who portray their stunts as original as the demanding from director Stephen Chow.
Being a follower of Hong-Kong movies, I must admit that I have greatly enjoyed this wondeful film, and this is one of my favorite films, along with many other Kung fu movies.
Thumbs Up: Chow's infectiously fun and energetic direction, huge cast of crazy magical characters (with an assist from the great costume and production design), plots plays out in interesting and unexpected ways, Chow gives a hilarious performance but wisely doesn't hog the spotlight, good score.
Thumbs Down: Chow's whimsey gets a little out of hand, over-reliance on CGI that hasn't aged well (especially the bit where he's got huge swollen lips), a few bits of lazy exposition, would have enjoyed the fight scenes more if they focused on choreography rather than crazy special effects.
Kung Fu Hustle shows why the Hong Kong actor-director's features should be considered a genre of their own; a marvelously entertaining picture.

The Madison Water Utility Board said this week that it would continue to add fluoride to the city's drinking water.
The utility board voted at its meeting Tuesday night to keep its fluoride policy. The city's been adding fluoride to water to improve dental health for 68 years since the policy was adopted in 1946.
Madison Water Utility currently aims for a target fluoride concentration of 0.7 parts per million, as recommended by county, national and international health agencies.
In a news release Wednesday, the city of Madison said it took public comments on the policy Tuesday for about two hours before the vote.
The policy will be reviewed again in 2024.

Here we go again with the 'we' word. Let's get one thing straight, you are NOT a warrior. No one in here is a warrior. Our ancestors may have been warriors, but that was then and this is now. I can't help but laugh or shake my head when I hear declarations like yours...We had to be fearless in order to survive t man eating people of Melanesia, and inhabit Tonga, Samoa, and t rest of t Pacific.. Yes we once were warriors and pretty dam good at it, but hate t game not t players. It was a survival maganism that required us to step into t dark side or Pulotu as known in Fiji, otherwise, we would have become like t dinosaurs, extinct. Yes, we had long worm out our welcome and needed to get t hell out of Dodge.
However we were quite forgiving at t time maybe we stayed long enough to acrually developed some affinity to u guys, otherwise, we,would have been back for Samoan umu, literally. Lol. So, hate on Tonga n Fiji all u want, but w out t 2, there would not be a 3 4 or 5 etc. So, sust remember, when u r out there, remember who u really are and make us proud.
"Yes we once were warriors and pretty dam good at it, but hate t game not t players."
You weren't one of the warriors during that time were you?? Of course not. You didn't even witness it. Some of my ancestors were warriors too but you don't see me trying to take credit for what they did.

22. The composition in accordance with claim 21 wherein the anionic surfactant has an alkyl group of about 8 to about 20 carbon atoms, inclusive.
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional application No. Ser. No. 60/010,841 filing date Jan. 30, 1996.
Soap has been used for time memorial to cleanse human skin. Both solid and liquid compositions containing soap have been used to deliver the surfactant to the skin for cleansing purposes. As with virtually every composition used for consumer purposes, the stability of the composition is critical for proper use and/or prolonged storage prior to use.
It is well known that free radical reactions will interfere with the stability of soap containing compositions. Free radicals initiate chain reactions which bring about the deterioration of long chain hydrocarbon materials such as soaps, free fatty acids, synthetic surfactants and the like present in cleansing compositions. Such reactions can bring about among other observable effects, color changes in the cleansing composition and eventually the rancidification of the formulation caused by the presence of breakdown products which are highly odiferous.
The deterioration of the long chain hydrocarbon containing materials can be substantially hindered by the use of known materials to either hinder the catalyzation of certain free radical mechanisms or work as a free radical sink to terminate the free radical chain reaction by rendering the chain free radical harmless. Example of the former type of materials are agents which chelate metals such as copper and iron which are known catalyzers of free radical initiation steps, particularly at points of unsaturation in the hydrocarbon chain. Such agents include ethylene diamine tetra carboxylic acid and its salts and various salts of phosphonic acid derivatives. Exemplary of the free radical sinks are various aromatic compounds which seems to work as a sink for the generated free radials whatever their initial mode of propagation might be. A prime example of this type of compound which has been in use for several decades is butylated hydroxy toluene, (usually known by its abbreviation BHT).
However, even with the use of BHT, stability problems are known to occur. General discoloration of cleansing bars occurs from time-to-time as well as specific points of coloring, usually intensely yellow also occurs. Although unusual, after prolonged periods of time, odors from a soap bar can also occur. Therefore, a need for a better cleansing formulation, particularly solid, stability enhancing additive remains.
In accordance with the invention, there is a personal care cleansing composition which comprises a cleansing effective amount of a long chain alkyl or alkenyl containing surfactant or mixtures thereof and a color stabilizing effective amount of a compound of the formula ##STR2## wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and are isopropyl or tertiary butyl and n is about 8 to about 20.
A preferred composition is one wherein the surfactant is a soap.
A further preferred composition is a solid, more preferably a bar.
Any surfactant may be used in the cleansing composition which removes soil from skin and which is susceptible to degradation upon prolonged shelf-life, particularly with respect to degradation which leads to discoloration and/or unpleasant odors. Therefore, any surfactant which has a long chain alkyl or alkenyl group or mixtures thereof, can be susceptible to such degradation. By long chain is meant at least about 8 carbon atoms, preferably 10, usually, normal or having a slight amount of branching. Generally, the maximum number of carbon atoms is not significant but usually above 20 is not preferred. Small quantities of olefinic bond(s) can be present in the predominantly alkyl sections, particularly if the source of the "alkyl" group is obtained from a natural product such as tallow, coconut oil and the like.
Soap, a long chain alkyl or alkenyl, branched or normal carboxylic acid salt such as sodium, potassium, ammonium or substituted ammonium salt can be present in the composition and is preferred.
Examples of such surfactants are the anionic, amphoteric, nonionic and cationic surfactants. Examples of anionic zwitterionic surfactants include but are not limited to alkyl sulfates, anionic acyl sarcosinates, methyl acyl taurates, N-acyl glutamates, acyl isethionates, alkyl sulfosuccinates, alkyl phosphate esters, ethoxylated alkyl phosphate esters, trideceth sulfates, protein condensates, mixtures of ethoxylated alkyl sulfates and the like.
Anionic nonsoap surfactants can be exemplified by the alkali metal salts of organic sulfate having in their molecular structure an alkyl radical containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms and a sulfonic acid or sulfuric acid ester radical (included in the term alkyl is the alkyl portion of higher acyl radicals). Preferred are the sodium, ammonium, potassium or triethanolamine alkyl sulfates, especially those obtained by sulfating the higher alcohols (C8 -C18 carbon atoms), sodium coconut oil fatty acid monoglyceride sulfates and sulfonates; sodium or potassium salts of sulfuric acid esters of the reaction product of 1 mole of a higher fatty alcohol (e.g., tallow or coconut oil alcohols) and 1 to 12 moles of ethylene oxide; sodium or potassium salts of alkyl phenol ethylene oxide ether sulfate with 1 to 10 units of ethylene oxide per molecule and in which the alkyl radicals contain from 8 to 12 carbon atoms, sodium alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonates; the reaction product of fatty acids having from 10 to 22 carbon atoms esterified with isethionic acid and neutralized with sodium hydroxide; water soluble salts of condensation products of fatty acids with sarcosine; and others known in the art.
Zwitterionic surfactants can be exemplified by those which can be broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, and sulfonium compounds, in which the aliphatic radicals can be straight chain or branched and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water-solubilizing group, e.g., carboxy, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. A general formula for these compounds is: ##STR3## wherein R2 contains an alkyl, alkenyl, or hydroxy alkyl radical of from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, from 0 to about 10 ethylene oxide moieties and from 0 to 1 glyceryl moiety; Y is selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur atoms; R3 is an alkyl or monohydroxyalkyl group containing 1 to about 3 carbon atoms; X is 1 when Y is a sulfur atom and 2 when Y is a nitrogen or phosphorus atom, R4 is an alkylene or hydroxyalkylene of from 0 to about 4 carbon atoms and Z is a radical selected from the group consisting of carboxylate, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphonate, and phosphate groups.
Examples include: 4- N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-octadecylammonio!-butane-1-carboxylate; 5- S-3-hydroxypropyl-S-hexadecylsulfonio!-3 hydroxypentane-1-sulfate; 3- P,P-P-diethyl-P 3,6,9 trioxatetradecyl- phosphonio!-2-hydroxypropane-1-phosphate; 3- N,N-dipropyl-N-3 dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropylammonio!-propane-1-phosphonate; 3-(N,N-di- methyl-N-hexadecylammonio)propane-1-sulfonate; 3-(N,N-dimethyl-N-hexadecylammonio )-2-hydroxypropane-1-sulfonate; 4-( N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-(2 hydroxydodecyl) ammonio!-butane-1-carboxylate; 3- S-ethyl-S-(3-dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropyl)sulfonio!-propane-1-phosphate; 3-(P,P-dimethyl-P-dodecylphosphonio)-propane-1-phosphonate; and 5- N,N,-di(3-hydroxypropyl)-N-hexadecylammonio!-2-hydroxy-pentane-1-sulfate.
Examples of amphoteric surfactants which can be used in the compositions of the present invention are those which can be broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic secondary and tertiary amines in which the aliphatic radical can be straight chain or branched and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms and one contains an anionic water solubilizing group, e.g., carboxylate, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate. Examples of compounds falling within this definition are sodium 3-dodecylaminopropionate, sodium 3-dodecylaminopropane sulfonate, N-alkyltaurines, such as the one prepared by reacting dodecylamine with sodium isethionate according to the teaching of U.S. Pat. No. 2,658,072 N-higher alkyl aspartic acids, such as those produced according to the teaching of U.S. Pat. No. 2,438,091, and the products sold under the trade name "Miranol" and described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,528,378. Other amphoterics such as betaines are also useful in the present composition.

dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride;
nonylbenzylethyldimethyl ammonium nitrate;
tetradecylpyridinium bromide;
laurylpyridinium chloride;
cetylpyridinium chloride

Also see CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary, 4th Edition 1991, pages 509-514 for various long chain alkyl cationic surfactants; incorporated herein by references.
Nonionic surfactants can be broadly defined as compounds produced by the condensation of alkylene oxide groups (hydrophilic in nature) with an organic hydrophobic compound, which may be aliphatic or alkyl aromatic in nature. Examples of preferred classes of nonionic surfactants are:
1. The polyethylene oxide condensates of alkyl phenols, e.g., the condensation products of alkyl phenols having an alkyl group containing from about 6 to 12 carbon atoms in either a straight chain or branched chain configuration, with ethylene oxide, the said ethylene oxide being present in amounts equal to 10 to 60 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alkyl phenol. The alkyl substituent in such compounds may be derived from polymerized propylene, diisobutylene, octane, or nonane, for example.
2. Those derived from the condensation of ethylene oxide with the product resulting from the reaction of propylene oxide and ethylene diamine products which may be varied in composition depending upon the balance between the hydrophobic and hydrophilic elements which is desired. For example, compounds containing from about 40% to about 80% polyoxyethylene by weight and having a molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 11,000 resulting from the reaction of ethylene oxide groups with a hydrophobic base constituted of the reaction product of ethylene diamine and excess propylene oxide, said base having a molecular weight of the order of 2,500 to 3,000, are satisfactory.
3. The condensation product of aliphatic alcohols having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, in either straight chain or branched chain configuration with ethylene oxide, e.g., a coconut alcohol ethylene oxide condensate having from 10 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of coconut alcohol, the coconut alcohol fraction having from 10 to 14 carbon atoms. Other ethylene oxide condensation products are ethoxylated fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols (e.g., Tween 20-polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate).
4. Long chain tertiary amine oxides corresponding to the following general formula:
wherein R1 contains an alkyl, alkenyl or monohydroxy alkyl radical of from about 8 to about 18 carbon atoms, from 0 to about 10 ethylene oxide moieties, and from 0 to 1 glyceryl moiety, and, R2 and R3 contain from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms and from 0 to about 1 hydroxy group, e.g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, hydroxy ethyl, or hydroxy propyl radicals. The arrow in the formula is a conventional representation of a semipolar bond. Examples of amine oxides suitable for use in this invention include dimethyldodecylamine oxide, oleyl-di(2-hydroxyethyl)amine oxide, dimethyloctylamine oxide, dimethyldecylamine oxide, dimethyltetradecylamine oxide, 3,6,9 trioxaheptadecyldiethylamine oxide, di(2-hydroxyethyl)tetradecylamine oxide, 2-dodecoxyethyldimethylamine oxide, 3-dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropyldi(3-hydroxypropyl)amine oxide, dimethylhexadecylamine oxide.
5. Long chain tertiary phosphine oxides corresponding to the following general formula:
wherein R contains an alkyl, alkenyl or monohydroxyalkyl radical ranging from 8 to 20 carbon atoms in chain length, from 0 to about 10 ethylene oxide moieties and from 0 to 1 glyceryl moiety and R' and R" are each alkyl or monohydroxyalkyl groups containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms. The arrow in the formula is a conventional representation of a semipolar bond. Examples of suitable phosphine oxides are: dodecyldimethylphosphine oxide, tetradecylmethylethylphosphine oxide, 3,6,9-trioxaoctadecyldimethylphosphine oxide, cetyldimethylphosphine oxide, 3-dodecoxy-2-hydroxypropyldi(2-hydroxyethyl)phosphine oxide stearyldimethylphosphine oxide, cetylethyl propylphosphine oxide, oleyldiethylphosphine oxide, dodecyldiethylphosphine oxide, tetradecyldiethylphosphine oxide, dodecyldipropylphosphine oxide, dodecyldi(hydroxymethyl)phosphine oxide, dodecyldi(2-hydroxyethyl)phosphine oxide, tetradecylmethyl-2-hydroxypropylphosphine oxide, oleyldimethylphosphine oxide, 2-hydroxydodecyldimethylphosphine oxide.
6. Long chain dialkyl sulfoxides containing one short chain alkyl or hydroxy alkyl radical of 1 to about 3 carbon atoms (usually methyl) and one long hydrophobic chain which contain alkyl, alkenyl, hydroxy alkyl, or keto alkyl radicals containing from about 8 to about 20 carbon atoms, from 0 to about 10 ethylene oxide moieties and from 0 to 1 glyceryl moiety. Examples include: octadecyl methyl sulfoxide, 2-ketotridecyl methyl sulfoxide, 3,6,9-trioxaoctadecyl 2-hydroxyethyl sulfoxide, dodecyl methyl sulfoxide, oleyl 3-hydroxypropyl sulfoxide, tetradecyl methyl sulfoxide, 3 methoxytridecylmethyl sulfoxide, 3-hydroxytridecyl methyl sulfoxide, 3-hydroxy-4-dodecoxybutyl methyl sulfoxide.
Any quantity of surfactant or mixture of surfactant which brings about a skin cleansing effect can be employed in the composition of this invention. Generally, at least about 1 wt. % of the composition should be surfactant. Preferred minimums of at least about 3, 5, 7, 10, 20 and 30 wt. % surfactant(s) can be present in the composition. Maximum quantities of surfactant(s) depends upon the physical nature of the composition being employed. Generally, no more than about 95-97 wt. % surfactant(s) are present, specifically no more than about 90 wt. % surfactant(s). Maximum quantities of about 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 85 wt. % surfactant(s) can also be readily employed.
The anionic surfactant can be present in the composition in various preferred quantities beyond those general quantities previously discussed for all surfactants of from about 1 to about 96 wt. %, specifically about 5 to about 85 wt. %. With respect to liquid, preferably aqueous, compositions, the anionic surfactant(s) is from about 2 to about 20 wt. % of the composition, specifically about 5 to about 15 wt. %. For a solid composition, the anionic surfactant(s) can be from about 5 to about 90 wt. %, preferably from about 10 to about 50 wt. % for a "syndet" bar, about 55 to about 80 wt. % for a "combar", and about 70 to about 90 wt. %, more preferably about 75 to about 85 wt. % in a solid composition wherein there is only one anionic surfactant therein, such as soap.
The antioxidant of the formula is specifically one where all the "R" groups are the same and most preferably are all tertiary butyl. When the "R" groups are each tertiary butyl and n is 18, the compound is available from Ciba-Geigy as Irganox 1076. The CAS number is 2082-79-3 and its chemical name is octadecyl (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate). The quantity of antioxidant percent in the compositions(s) of the invention is an amount effective to provide color stability to the composition showing shelf aging. The upper limit appears to be primarily dependent upon the cost of the material. In solid compositions, generally from about 25 to about 500 ppm of the composition can be employed, preferably from about 50 to about 300 ppm of the composition. In liquid compositions and generally from about 10 to about 300 ppm of the antioxidant can be employed, preferably from about 25 to about 250 ppm of the composition.
The physical nature of the composition is not critical and can be a solid, liquid or gel. The method of making such a composition is by the usual methods employed in the detergent industry. The antioxidant is added at the usual point an antioxidant is added in the process.
Below are standard liquid and solid compositions as illustrative examples of the composition(s).

The compounds of the invention are not restricted to only personal care cleansing compositions. These compounds can also be useful in oral compositions designed for cleansing teeth.
Organic surface-active agents are used in oral compositions to achieve increased prophylactic action, assist in achieving thorough and complete dispersion of any active material such as an anticalculus agent throughout the oral cavity, as well as rendering the compositions more cosmetically acceptable. The organic surface-active material is preferably anionic, nonionic, or ampholytic in nature, and it is preferred to employ as the surface-active agent a detersive material which imparts to the composition detersive and foaming properties. Suitable examples of anionic surfactants are water-soluble salts or higher fatty acid monoglyceride monosulfates, such as the sodium salt of the monosulated monoglyceride of hydrogenated coconut oil fatty acids, higher alkyl sulfates such as sodium lauryl sulfate, alkyl aryl sulfonates such as sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, higher alkyl sulfoacetates, higher fatty acid esters of 1,2 dihydroxy propane sulfonates, and the substantially saturated higher aliphatic acyl amides of lower aliphatic amino carboxylic acid compounds, such as those having 12 to 16 carbons in the fatty acid, alkyl or acyl radicals, and the like. Examples of the last mentioned amides are N-lauroyl sarcosine, and the sodium, potassium, and ethanolamine salts of N-lauroyl, N-myristoyl, or N-palmittoyl sarcosine which should be substantially free from soap or similar higher fatty acid material. The use of such sarcosinate compounds in certain oral compositions is particularly advantageous since these materials exhibit a prolonged and marked effect in the inhibition of acid formation in the oral cavity due to carbohydrate break down in addition to exerting some reduction in the solubility of tooth enamel in acid solutions.
Examples of water-soluble nonionic surfactants are condensation products of ethylene oxide with various reactive hydrogen-containing compounds reactive therewith having long hydrophobic chains (e.g. aliphatic chains of about 12 to 20 carbon atoms), which condensation products ("ethoxamers") contain hydrophilic polyoxyethylene moieties, such as condensation products of poly (ethylene oxide) with fatty acids, fatty alcohols, fatty amides, polyhydric alcohols (e.g. sorbitan monostearate) and polypropyleneoixde (e.g. Pluronic materials).
Generally, surfactants are present in the paste, gel or the typical teeth cleansing composition in from about 1 to about 15 wt % of the composition. The antioxidant of the present invention can also provide stabilization properties to oral compositions containing a peroxide such as hydrogen peroxide or calcium peroxide and the like. The quantity of antioxidant employed is that amount sufficient to stabilize the composition, for example, as a free radical scavenger. Exemplary of such quantities are antioxidant of from about 50 to about 5000 ppm, preferably about 100 to about 2000 ppm of the composition.
The following are examples of the invention which are intended to show the extent of the invention and not be unduly limited thereof.
The following test system was employed to initially look at material which could be useful in surfactant cleansing systems, particularly soap containing systems.
An equal amount of potential antioxidant under evaluation and benzoyl peroxide (weight basis) are dissolved into an inert organic solvent such as chloroform to form a 1% (each) solution. 10 ml. of the solution is transferred into a round bottom flask, and heated to boiling under a water cooled condenser. The content is kept refluxing for 15 hours. After removal from heat and allowing to cool to room temperature, the solution is visually inspected for discoloration. This system is designed to bring about yellowing and discoloration which is normally observed in BHT containing cleansing systems.
The following materials evaluated show a varied degree of color instability:
Irganox 1076 is more stable than Irganox 1330, which is more stable than Casamine OTB which is more stable than BHT.
a. Irganox 1330 is 1,3,5-trimethyl-2,4,6-tris(3,5-di-tert. butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) benzene.
b. Casamine OTB is ortho-tolyl biguanide
The BHT is bright yellow after the test period. The Irganox 1330 and Casamine OTB have varying coloration. Irganox 1076 does not show any discoloration after the test period.
When used in a solid, gel, or liquid composition it is preferred to maintain the system essentially absent from free alkali.
The excess alkali in soap formulations can be effectively neutralized by the in-situ "superfatting" with strong acids or with free fatty acids. Any quantity of acid which brings about at least essential neutralization of the free alkali can be employed. Quantities of free acid such as citric, acetic, and tartaric as low as about 0.1 wt. % can be employed with effectiveness. The amount of free fatty acid can also vary considerably although generally at least about 3 or 5 wt. % free fatty acid such as stearic, coco, myristic and the like can be employed, preferably at least about 7 wt. % of the composition. The final pH of the composition, as measured by 1 wt. % solid composition in water is generally from about 6.5 to about 10.3. Too acidic a pH should be avoided as well since compound cleavage can also occur.

Can I put a crockpot in the oven?
- n
- nicoleberry83 Nov 18, 2006 02:04 PM
I'm interested in making Bittman's no-knead bread, but I don't have anything large enough (and heavy enough) in which to bake the bread except my crockpot crock. If I put it in the oven at such a high temperature, is it sure to crack?
Crockpots are wonderful things, but ONLY within their narrow temperature ranges.
No oven.
No Re-Heating of cold stuff on the stovetop.
No Pre-Heating for crock-braised recipes.
Gosh... that sounded gruff. And I've already had morning coffee. It's just that these are beautiful instruments within the 60-240 degree range, but they crack and break if treated as a normal pot.
Thanks for your advice. I was fearing this was the case. Looks like Bittman's is going to have to make a couple mini loaves for me.
When in doubt, don't, but mine has a clearly marked -- stamped into the ceramic -- warning against use over open flame, but says nothing about the oven. Assuming the manual is long gone, try the mfr's website.
Whatever the advisability of doing it regularly, I'd be really surprised if the inserts are quite so fragile as to break right away at reasonable oven temps. It might happen with repeated use, but the likelihood of people doing it, unless there's a really obvious warning, is just too high - so whether out of concern or just fear of legal exposure, I'm sure they're made to withstand temps in that range.
I was going to use mine too. Mine a Rival, has a stoneware insert. It says it can go in the oven, but does not mention temps. The lid can not go in, but I thought I could use heavy foil.
I think I'll check their site first for temp info.
I found that you can use the stoneware from your crockpot (MINUS the lid) up to a temperature of 400 degrees.
re: AWilt
The insert is stoneware which is fired at a high temperature in a kiln, so that makes perfect sense.
I have one that is low and wide. I bake dishes in it to take to potlucks and keep it warm during serving by using it as intended. I always let it cool down a bit after removing it from the oven before putting it in the base.
Saw Rick Bayless use the insert on TOP of stove to brown something before slow cooking. Check it out and it's a SPECIAL crock and seem to remember way more than I was willing to even think about spending. Thinking maybe enameled cast iron??
Just read on the Rival site that the stoneware can handle temps up to 400 degrees, but don't broil. I would stay at 375 degrees to be safe. And of course, it said not to put the lid in the oven!

Officials: Senators reach deal on high-tech visasBy DAVID ESPO
and ERICA WERNER
The Associated Press | May 22,2013AP Photo
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., left, confers with Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., center, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., as the Senate Judiciary Committee assembled to work on a landmark immigration bill to secure the border and offer citizenship to millions, on Capitol Hill in Washington.WASHINGTON Leading senators working on immigration legislation reached a compromise Tuesday on the details of an expanded high-tech visa program, officials said as the Senate Judiciary Committee neared completion of its work on the measure.
At the same time, several officials said the White House has made it known to Sen. Patrick Leahy, the panels chairman, that it would prefer postponing a showdown over the rights of same sex spouses until a vote in the full Senate.
It was unclear whether Leahy would comply as he drives the committee toward a final vote on the sweeping immigration measure, which would give an estimated 11.5 million immigrants living in the United States illegally a chance at citizenship. There have been 300 amendments offered. Why shouldnt there be one more? he told reporters.
At its core, the legislation would provide an opportunity of U.S. citizenship to millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, create a new visa program for low-skilled workers and permit a sizeable increase in the number of high-tech visas, at the same time it mandates new measures to crack down on future unlawful immigration.
Final committee approval is expected by midweek, with the full Senate likely to begin debate next month.
The compromise on high tech visas was negotiated by Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah and Chuck Schumer, D-New York, and was designed to satisfy both industry, which relies increasingly on skilled foreign labor, and organized labor, which represents American workers.
Jeff Hauser, a spokesman for the AFL-CIO, said the organization remains opposed to the amendments, but will continue to support passage of the overall legislation with a path to citizenship.
The officials who confirmed the agreement did so on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly ahead of an official announcement.
As drafted, the bill would raise the current cap on so-called H-1B visas for highly skilled workers from 65,000 annually to 110,000, with the possibility of a further rise to 180,000. The legislation also included new protections designed to ensure American workers get the first shot at jobs, and high-tech firms objected to some of those constraints.
Hatch, whose state has a large high-tech industry, championed their cause. Schumer, an author of the bill, worked to satisfy his concerns. In exchange, Hatch told reporters Monday hed committed to supporting the overall legislation when it comes to a vote in committee, lending it important GOP support.
The deal disclosed Tuesday modifies several amendments Hatch introduced on high-tech visas, including limiting some of the bills protections for U.S. workers to companies that are more heavily dependent on H-1B visas. That would exclude many major U.S. firms.
On the other major remaining unresolved issue, officials said there was a growing if unspoken expectation that the measure would likely emerge from committee without a provision granting same-sex spouses the same access to legal status as heterosexual spouses are entitled to.
Leahy has introduced a proposal to give equal treatment under the bill to same-sex couples, a provision gay rights groups seek. Several lobbyists and others noted during the day Monday that he had not said definitively that he would seek a vote on it before the panel completes its work, and neither the White House nor other Democrats on the committee have made a strong push for its inclusion.
Two people familiar with the deliberations said the White House had suggested to Leahy that it would be best to put the controversy until bill goes before the full Senate. They were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and insisted on anonymity.
A vote on the proposal could create political difficulty for Democrats on the committee who support gay rights and are also members of the so-called Gang of Eight, which negotiated the main features of the legislation. That includes Schumer and Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois.
Durbin has told outside groups he will back the change if it is offered. Schumer hasnt said which way he would vote.
All eight authors of the bill have pledged to maintain the essential outlines of the legislation. A vote to add the gay rights provision could lead to approval on a party-line vote in committee, but lead to the collapse of Republican support on the Senate floor and the bills demise.
In addition, the Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling by early July that could render the issue largely moot.
The measure is one of President Barack Obamas top domestic priorities, although the administration has generally let the committee work on its own.
In a show of support, though, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden arranged to meet Tuesday in the Oval Office at the White House with individuals directly affected by the measure.MORE IN Wire NewsVIENNA Reflecting its lessening oil clout, OPEC decided Thursday to keep its output target on...

Les Beck (5 January 1886 – 30 September 1961) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton in the VFL during the early 1900s.
As part of a strong Carlton side he has a remarkable win loss record, losing only seven of the 60 games that he played with Carlton. Born in Gippsland, Beck spent most of his time in the back pocket and was a member of three Carlton premiership teams.
In World War One Beck joined the Australian military and fought in France. He was twice shot during the conflict but survived.
