Chihuly Garden and Glass- Seattle, WA
Posted on November 16, 2014
Recently, I was in Seattle for the first time. It was a great trip for work and had a little bit of time to explore. A few years ago I saw a Chihuly exhibit in Park City, UT. There is a permanent exhibit at the base of the space needle and I knew I wanted to go. WOW! It was awesome. I highly recommend visiting the exhibit. Didn't think I would be able to bring my camera, so these pictures were with my iPhone. Bring your camera, you can take pictures!
I love cooking!
Posted on November 9, 2014
For my friends who knew me in my 20s and early 30s, they probably can't believe this statement: I love cooking! In my 20s, my idea of cooking was frozen dinners. There is nothing wrong with them and they fit my lifestyle at the time. However in 2001, I started a job that required travel and I realized when I was home I wanted home cooked meals. As I started learning more about food, I realized I wanted to know where it came from and what were the ingredients in the food. I started reading recipes and experimenting. I generally cook whole foods and let the natural flavor come out. I am sad when our local farmers market comes to an end in November, but happy there is a local food co-op now in Doylestown. One of my favorite things to make is soup, especially as the weather is getting cooler. It also is great to use my Cutco Cutlery to dice and chop!
I posted a picture of a chicken, kale and quinoa soup a few weeks ago on Facebook and some asked for the recipe. Here is the thing, the way I cook, I don't follow recipes. I made the soup again today, so I thought I pass the "recipe" here. This time I changed it and put Gluten free pasta.
8 chicken legs
1 onion
handful of kale
3-4 carrots
2 parsnips
2 containers of chicken broth
box of quinoa or pasta
Place chicken in a crock pot. Cook till done. Slice and dice carrot, onion, and parsnips. Tear kale into small pieces. Place in large pot. Take chicken from crock pot and take off the bone. Place in pot. Add quinoa or pasta. Add chicken broth from crock pot and store-bought. Cook on low till done. Flavor to taste!
It's easy and I love using local ingredients. The soup I made today has kale from a friends garden. Food is good for the soul! I get so much joy from sharing my creations with others. Happy Sunday!
Law of Attraction
Posted on October 9, 2014
We are on our yearly sister vacation. During this trip to the Languduac region we have noticed a couple of things there are very few taxis or elevators in the train stations. Both make for fun times when carrying heavy suitcases in train stations. Yesterday we were leaving our apartment in Montpillier and not looking forward to the 20 minute walk with our luggage. My intentions were set we would get a taxi. I turn around on the small street and see a yellow taxi, which I have never seen in France. We attract what we need at the perfect time!
Trip to Frontignan!
Posted on October 6, 2014
This morning we took a train to the seaside coastal town of Séte. It was fun to walk around. We enjoyed a lunch of local seafood.
After lunch we decided to visit some tasting rooms in Frontignan. We got the local bus to head there. We thought that we would see a sign that said Frontignan on one of the stops. Nope. Mental note: take a picture of the bus route with stops. We realized too late that we passed our stop. So, we got off at the next stop. It was in the middle of no where. We were laughing and as soon as we got off the bus it started raining. We got on another bus and headed back to Montpillier! It was a fun adventure. You will see my sister using her scarf as an "umbrella" and us standing under a tree.
Barcelona Sants
Posted on October 6, 2014
Our 4th Annual Sister's vacation has begun! We are changing things up this year and using Barcelona as our airport. I miss Paris! We are traveling to the wine region of Languedoc Roussillon. We had about five hours in Barcelona yesterday waiting for our train. I had read that the train station had lockers! You put your bags through a scanner and our bags were safe. We were excited about not having to carry our bags around Barcelona!

Out Of My Comfort Zone!
Posted on August 3, 2014
What is out of your comfort zone?
For me its heights and activities on the water. While I was in California a few weeks ago, I did both. First we went to Trapeze High in Escondido. When we go out of our comfort zone, we need those that are in theirs, to reassure us. For me, I was not afraid of the trapeze. I knew that the safety ropes and staff had me, I was afraid of the of the 23 foot ladder to get to that point. Once I knew the procedure and pattern, I felt safe. Below are some pics of me taken while "flying."
For me paddle board yoga was out of my comfort zone. Some people ask why, it's because I don't really know how to swim. I can float, but swimming is not my strength. So, for me, water sports are out of my comfort zone. We took a class with Floating Yogis in Carlsbad. It was great! The instructors helped you and pushed you safely into poses. I am proud to say I didn't fall in the water. However, if I did what was the worse that would have happened. I would have gotten wet! Thank you Sarah!
I learned to trust those that are experts in their fields to do things that are out of my comfort zone! Both of these experiences were VERY empowering I HIGHLY recommend both of these places, if in the area.
Doylestown, PA- July 2014
Posted on July 20, 2014
Today's weather felt like a warm fall day and not a typical July 20th hot day! I LOVE Sundays with no plans. I had an awesome breakfast at Domani Star and then went for a walk with the camera! I had fun with flowers, bees and buildings! Some of you may not know that I have my photos available for sale. Also, I have started a Facebook page for my photography. Have a great week!

Star Trek Cracks Top Five
BookScan Top 20 Graphic Novels for May 2009
Published: 06/04/2009, Last Updated: 06/10/2009 01:26am
Star Trek: Countdown from IDW cracked the top five in the Nielsen BookScan Top 20 Graphic Novel chart for May 2009, moving up from its debut slot at #9 last month. The movie release was early in May, so this will probably be as high as this volume gets.
Watchmen remained #1 for the 11th consecutive month.
The surge in Naruto releases over, the number of Naruto volumes in the Top 20 dropped to seven from 12 in April and nine in March. Volumes 43 and 44 continued to hold the #2 and #3 ranks.
Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 18 came in strong at #4.
Negima! Volume 21 crept up the chart to #7 (from #12 in April and #19 in March) in its third month in the Top 20, an unusual phenomenon reserved for only the strongest titles.
The latest volume of Dark Horse's Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Season 8) hit the chart at #8.
Other new titles on the list included Stephen King's Dark Tower: Treachery HC from Marvel at #9, Viz's Giratina & the Sky Warrior at #11, and Top Shelf's first published volume of Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen at #15.
There were seven publishers with titles in the Top 20 in May, an unusually high number.

Happy Sunday!
It was cloudy and cool here today, which ended up being the perfect weather for an outdoor run. You can read about the workout here. I ended up running 6 miles and the boyfriend ran 14 miles. His marathon training has officially resumed.
We headed over to his parents house afterwards to shower, eat dinner, and hang out for a bit.
We just got back and I was absolutely starving. Even though I had already eaten dinner, it felt as though I hadn't eaten all day.
I whipped up a 100 calorie English Muffin with two scrambled eggs.
It was delicious. I don't know why I was so hungry. The run must have really took a lot out of me.
I am trying to get my week organized tonight. I have a bunch of coupons to go through, meals to plan, and finish ironing out my workout schedule for the week.
I have been trying to do a better job at keeping track of coupons. I have not really kept up with it in the past, to be honest I don't even know how to organize them properly. I always end up losing them and can never find them when I am ready to do my shopping. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
How do you keep track of coupons? Do you have a book you organize them in or a filing system of some kind?
I took a bunch of Women's and Men's Health magazines from my boyfriend's parents house. I am going to try to go through them tonight and find some yummy recipes to create!
I'll be back tomorrow evening after work and my gym workout. Have a great Monday!

The Energy Department has finally announced details of the grant it will award for setting up a National Electric Sector Cyber Security Organization, which will be the major authority charged with protecting the electricity grid.
The good news is that it's worth around $10 million. The bad news is that potential applicants have less than a month -- until April 30 -- to pull their applications together.
The National Energy Technology Laboratory is managing the process for DOE.
The department first made the announcement about the new organization at the beginning of this year. The idea is to have it develop and establish safeguards for emerging technologies such as the smart grid, which will use IT to tie intelligent meters and other devices together to give a better way of managing power demand and supply.
The DOE said it's on an aggressive schedule "to meet the Nation's need for a reliable, efficient and resilient electric power grid." However, given that it's now four years after the department published its Roadmap to Secure Control Systems in the Energy Sector, you have to wonder what it means by aggressive.
Nevertheless, at least we now have a concrete next step in place.

Family Dollar Stores Inc., facing a threat from billionaire activist Carl Icahn, adopted a shareholder-rights plan that will limit investors from acquiring more than 10 percent of the company.
Billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn amassed a new 9.4 percent stake in Family Dollar Stores Inc. and will seek talks with the discount retailer's management and board about ways to boost shareholder value.
RadioShack Corp.'s plan to revive its stores would have been difficult to execute even in the best of times. Now it's contending with an industrywide slump in electronics demand that's also hurting healthier rivals.
Family Dollar Stores Inc. , which billionaire investor Nelson Peltz offered to buy for $7.7 billion, is the most likely to fail among 2011 deals, according to traders who profit from mergers and acquisitions.
"While we believe this financing package should allow RadioShack to avoid a near-term bankruptcy filing, it comes at a heavy cost to existing shareholders and may only serve to forestall its ultimate demise."

~We are currently at capacity and cannot take any horses at this time, please see the Resource tab for a list of rescues ~
ASPCA Announces Winners of National 'Help a Horse Day' Contest
Exciting event coming to Bend!
Trainer Application deadline for the Rescue Revolution is fast approaching
1) We are extending the Trainer Application deadline.
2) We are allowing Trainers to select their own horse. We'll have the catalogs out very soon, or horses can be viewed at Equine Outreach in Bend. Selection order will be based on order of receipt of completed Trainer Application. Trainer will be given 2 days to make the decision, and 5 additional days to pick up the horse(s), after which time the Trainer will lose position in the selection order. (Trainers selecting their horse(s) prior to December 1 will have 5 days after December 1 to pick up horse) This will have no negative impact on the Trainer except that his/her chosen horse may not be available. The potential for chaos is pretty great with this Trainer's Choice option, but we wanted to offer it, and we hope everyone will play nice so that it can somehow work out well!
3) MINIMUM cash prizes will be $500/300 (1st and 2nd place) in both In-hand and Under Saddle Divisions. We hope there will be more cash available, but will promise these minimum amounts.
Again, completed Trainer Applications can be scanned and emailed to me at firstname.lastname@example.com, and I am available any time to answer questions at 541-447-8165.
FIRST HORSES SELECTED! From the Thoroughbred pen, "Phoenix" and from the Warm Springs pen, "Whiskey". Congratulations to the lucky trainer who will begin this competition with these two great subjects!

Great Kids Horse! 15H
Teke is a pretty little paint - somewhat sway-backed We estimate she is in her late 20s, but has plenty of spunk - even goes into a trot when you are leading her. Her former owner stated that she has been trained to pull a cart - and that she has been ridden in parades. Would make a great kids horse!special someone!

The Languedoc-Roussillon region
The Gard is part of Languedoc-Roussillon, which covers a large part of southern France from the Rhone valley all the way round the Mediterranean to Spain. The Gard goes from the sandy beaches of the Mediterranean, the vineyards of the Rhone valley (e.g. Châteauneuf-du-Pape) up to the sparsely populated sculpted valleys of the Ardeche and across to the moorlands of the Larzac with their flocks of sheep and world-famous Roquefort cheese. The property is located in the north of the Gard in an unspoilt region of vines, olive trees, lavender and oaks. Whilst benefiting from a dry climate, summers tend to be less "steamy" than closer to the coast, partly due to refreshing breezes. Nature lovers will be impressed by the abundant wildlife - the property is on 20 acres of land - and stargazers will adore the night skies free of any light pollution. Hikers and bikers will make the most of the hundreds of miles of signposted paths all around. Music lovers will find their favourite music be it opera (Orange), classical or modern (countless festivals in the surrounding region). There is also a world-famous theatre festival in Avignon.
Uzès, "the first duchy of France", has been a major local landmark for over 1500 years. This beautifully renovated architectural gem was designated a "city of art and culture" in 2008. Wander through the winding medieval streets to the bustling street markets (Wednesdays and Saturdays), then stop off at one of the many outdoor cafés in the shade of 60-foot plane trees. There is so much to discover from the ducal château, the stone facades of the Renaissance houses to the old cathedral with its wonderfully renovated baroque organ.

According to Health Day News, a new study has found that high blood pressure in women may be worse than in men. "High blood pressure might be more dangerous for women than men, a new study suggests.
As a result, women may need earlier and more aggressive treatment for the condition, the study authors said.
"The medical community thought that high blood pressure was the same for both sexes, and treatment was based on that premise," lead author Dr. Carlos Ferrario, a professor of surgery at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, said in a medical center news release. "This is the first study to consider sex as an element in the selection of [drugs to treat high blood pressure] or base the choice of a specific drug on the various factors accounting for the elevation in blood pressure."" read more [2]

Toronto election off to a dizzying start: Fiorito
We all know Rob Ford's enemies: the question is, who are Olivia Chow's friends?
|Report an Error
Share via Email
This is a little swirly, and so I would like to look around a little before I look ahead. First, let me clarify a small point. The mayor's most recent arch-enemy is Andy Pringle. Who he?
Andy Pringle is a guy who was appointed to the Police Board with the support of that jolly old crack-smoker, Rob Ford himself. Pringle also donated to the Ford campaign during the last election.
Ford is, therefore, in the hunt for the head of a man he took money from, and also trusted enough to endorse for a job of serious municipal responsibility.
Pringle's crime?
He went fishing with another of the mayor's other arch-enemies, the chief of police. And now, if only for the sheer delight in saying so, I remind you that, in what surely looked like one of his drunken stupors, the mayor accused the police chief of kissing other men in their most private places.
The chief's crime?
He was doing his job.
Let us tease out the Pringle/police chief thing just a bit: the mayor is going after both guys because the one is the boss of the other, and also because they went fishing together.
Does Rob fish?
Ask Stephen Harper.
OK, if we are to judge a man by the company he keeps, as the mayor is now doing with Pringle, then let us similarly judge the mayor, whose company includes drug dealers, thugs, convicts, gangbangers, teenage boys in football helmets, and a certain fellow who has been charged with extortion.
I remind you that Sandro Lisi is alleged to have tried to retrieve a video showing his boss smoking alleged crack, and if you allegedly think the alleged Sandro was allegedly looking for the very real video on his alleged own, then I can't help you.
Back to Pringle: you are aware that his other, perhaps more serious crime, is that he knows John Tory, who is currently running to unseat Rob.
I would now like to explain why we all hate politics: Nick Kouvalis, he of the scowl and the sneer, is the same guy who head-faked Tory out of the mayor's race with a couple of dirty tricks last time around. Kouvalis, as you surely know, is running Tory's campaign.
You are now free to tell me what you think that says about John Tory's ability to distinguish between a friend and an enemy; or you can save your breath because I know what I think, and it isn't pretty.
Enter Olivia Chow.
As Ford enemies go, she is formidable. She knows council inside out. She is politically smarter than her rivals. She also poses an interesting dilemma for those suburban Chinese-Canadians who may have voted for Ford last time, because they now might feel the tug of ethnic pride.
I said it swirls, but in the months ahead it will get dizzier, i.e. when does Karen Stintz drop out of the race, and whom she will support; from whom does Tory draw his votes; and how does Chow's bedrock support compare to the army of Ford's blockhead loyalists?
What's the way for Chow to win? We know that Ford, who enjoys creating enemies, has a list: he wants to unseat councillors Perks, Davis, Vaughan, Carroll, Mihevc, Doucette, De Baeremaeker, Layton, Wong-Tam and Ainslie. He also loathes Augimeri and Fletcher, and we all saw him push McConnell to the floor when she had the bad luck to be standing between the raging mayor and the target of his ire.
We know where all these councillors stand with respect to the mayor. But what about the others? If Ford has an enemies list, the question is who from council's middle has the guts to run as a Friend of Olivia?
Joe Fiorito appears Monday, Wednesday and Friday. email@example.com

November 21, 2014
ST. FRANCIS, Wis. (AP) -- The Bucks' first-round draft pick this year is standing out for more than just his tricky name.
Giannis Antetokounmpo (YAHN-iss ah-deh-toh-KOON-boh) has been bright spot in the first half of what's otherwise been a tough season so far in Milwaukee.
The Bucks have the worst record in the NBA at 8-33. They've been beset by injuries, especially earlier in the season.
That's opened up more playing time for Antetokounmpo, the 19-year-old rookie from Greece. Through 36 games, Antetokounmpo is averaging 7.0 points and 4.7 rebounds per game. Coach Larry Drew especially likes how the 6-foot-9 forward adds a burst of energy on the court.
Drew says Antetokounmpo has a ways to go in his development, though he likes the progress he's made in his rookie year.

A Match Made in Madness: CO's Marriage Education Act
by: Spencer Chretien
The: "Colorado Marriage Education Act": would mandate that any couple receive 10 hours of government-sanctioned marriage training before they get married. For the first marriage, that is; the second will require 20 hours; the third, 30. From reading the relevant articles, it's unclear to me whether each additional marriage after the third compels an extra 10 hours.
I think the best way to attack this ridiculous overreach is simply to make a list. So, here we go:
1. All conservatives should be very, very skeptical of any group that purports to speak for children. The allegedly pro-children agenda of Marian Wright Edelman's far-left Children's Defense Fund, for example, is to: ban guns,: support Obamacare, and go further into debt by starting countless new programs to "help" children by eroding parental rights and increasing government bureaucracy. Planned Parenthood's website has a whole page that proclaims,: "We all Want What's Best for our Children.": To me, that sounds like it comes right out of: 1984.: Hillary Clinton, I'm sure, would tell you she supports Universal Pre-K because it's "for the children." Nancy Pelosi: prays for the children.: Liberals who support dismembering babies in the womb and: market sex to twelve year olds: are all about the children. Yeah.
2. The proposal discourages marriage, making couples pay for the counseling and thus raising the cost of getting married. Single people and those in civil unions face no such financial burden. The incentive is to stay single, get a civil union, or just keep cohabiting. We need more people getting married, not fewer.
3. If you like your church-run marriage counseling, you can keep it. But that's not good enough. Everyone needs the state-run counseling regimen, regardless of whether you're already doing marriage prep through a religious institution.
4. The marriage counseling will be provided, at the expense of those waiting to be married, by the Colorado State Board of Marriage and Family Therapist Examiners. Would you rather discuss your future marriage with your spouse-to-be, your family, your friends, and your pastor, or with the social worker who doesn't know you and probably donated to Obama?
5. The divorce rate is so high because people don't enter into marriage properly and give up on their marriages too easily. Any attempt by government to fix the first problem won't work, and it doesn't even try to fix the second here.
6. Mandates are bad!
7. As I briefly mentioned earlier, this idea is actually very Orwellian indeed, from a philosophical level.: The purpose of any marriage preparation is, of course, to shape not only your actions, but also your thoughts and beliefs about the meaning, purpose, and consequences of the marriage into which you will soon be joining. It is a frighteningly totalitarian idea that the force of government could be behind an effort to control people's thoughts and ideas about the best way to approach a marriage.
Let's hope that this initiative doesn't make the ballot, and that it's defeated at the polls if it does qualify. It would turn marriage in Colorado into a match made in madness. The only way it could pass is if the voters of Colorado are high.: Oh, wait.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
July 30, 1963 w. G. SCHARF METALLIZED SYNTHETIC SPUN YARN Mauth@ Filed Sept. 50, 1960 LLFU IN V EN TOR. Marzi? G SC//AQF w Q//w Amy/Veys METALLIZED SYNTIETIC SPUN YARN Waiter G. Scharf, Ridgewood, NJ., assigner to Metal Film Company, Inc., New York, N.Y., a corporation of New York Filed Sept. 30, 1960, Ser. No. 59,728 11 Claims. (Cl. 23-72) This invention relates generally to metallized textile materials, and more particularly to the manufacture of staple fibers formed of synthetic met-allized ribbons and usable for spun yarn. This invention is a continuationin-part of my earlier application tiled June 18, 1956, issued March 7, 1961, as Patent No. 2,974,055.
'Ihe use of metallized threads in fabric design to enhance the Ibeauty of the fabric is of ancient origin. In order to tobviate certain drawbacks inherent in threads made entirely of metal or those having a core of natural iiber, it has been the practice in recent years to form such threads by combining met-al with synthetic materials of superior tensile strength.
In one known commercial form, a continuous lament is composed of two narrow plastic ribbons bonded together by adhesive, the interior surface of one ribbon being coated with a metal deposit. In .another commercial form, a strip of metal foil is sandwiched between two plastic ribbons and bonded thereto. In either laminated form, the ribbons may be made of cellulosic material, such as cellulose butyrate, although non-cellulosic lamina may also be used such as Mylar (polymerized ethylene glycol terephthalate).
Fabrics woven `of continuous metallized iilaments have a -ribboned surface and are limited in their design possibilities, particularly since the basic thread is flat, not round as with conventional threads. The resultant fabric does not have the hand or -appearance of fabrics formed with round libers. Moreover, the use of adhesive between the ribbon plies which form the filament gives the resultant thread a tendency to delaminate in the course of chemical or mechanical processing such as sanforizing, dyeing, commercial washing and `dry cleaning. Also adhesive acts to reduce the brilliance of the thread.
A more serious limitation of laminated metallized threads from the standpoint of textile design is that the practical use of such threads is conined to continuous iilarnent applications. While it is known to convert continuous lfilament thread of synthetic material into staple lengths which are Ithereafter spun into yarn, such conversion has not heretofore been possible with laminated metallized threads. Such threads, if cut into staple lengths, are excessively thick and heavy and cannot be spun effectively. They tend to be [thrown out of the spinner `and will not wrap around and interlock with each other.
Accordingly it is the principal object of the invention to provide staple iibers derived from a metallized synthetic tape and usable for spun yarn.
More specifically, it is an object of the invention to provide a composite metallized tape which is exceptionally thin and light `and is convertible into staple liber, the tape being constituted by a transparent base ribbon having a metal layer deposited thereon, the metal layer being coated with a transparent film which is related structurally to and has an atiinity for the base ribbon. A tape in accordance with the invention is produced entirely Without adhesives, it is inherently incapable of delaminait is highly iiexible and has improved tensile strength.
It is also an object of the invention to provide metallized staple tibers -iormed of composite material whose integrity is maintained when the bers lare processed chemically or mechanically.
Briefly stated, spun yarn .in accordance 'with the invention is fabricated by cutting into staple lengths and spinning fibers derived from a continuous tape formed by a transparent exible plastic ribbon coated on one side with a deposit of metal, the surface of the metal deposit being covered with a plastic solution or suspension which when dried and cured affords I'an adherent transparent film, the plastic coating being a material related structurally to the ribbon and having an affinity therefor.
For a better understanding of the invention as well as other objects `and yfurther features thereof, reference is made to the following detailed description to be read in conjunction with the -accompanying drawing.
In .the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a schematic -diagram showing the process in accordance with the invention adapted to produce a metallized synthetic web.
FIG. 2 is a sectional View of fone embodiment of a metallized tape according to the invention.
FIG. 3 is 4a sectional view of another preferred embodiment of a metallized tape.
FIG. 4 schematically illustrates one method for converting a tape of metallized material into staple liber.
FIG. 5 is a magnified -view of a single staple iiber.
FIG. 6 illustra-tes la spun yarn made of staple iiber in accordance with the invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a process in accordance with the invention for producing a metallized web which may be slit to form a relatively narrow tape, the tape then being .cut int-o ber lengths. A continuous web of transparent thermoplastic material 410 is drawn yfrom a supply roll 11 and is caused to travel thro-ugh a high vacuum chamber 12 wherein lone surface of the film is metallized. rIhe web may be constituted by cellophane, acetate, tri-acetate, acetate butyrate, polymerized ethylene glycol terephthalate (Mylar) or any other suitable transparent .and tlexible material capable of being vacuum-plated. The thickness of the web for ordinary yarn should not exceed 2 mils and is preferably of 1/2 mil thickness.
In the vacuum chamber 12, one surface of the iilm is metal-plated by gold, silver aluminum, magnesium, titanium, nickel tor any other metal, the thickness of the metal layer being molecular and not exceeding %0,00Uth of an inch. 'I`he deposition may be carried out by known thermal evaporation or cathodic sputtering techniques. In ther-mal evaporation, metal vapor is generated by direct heat such as an electric arc source or .a glowing tilamenrt. To effect maximum adherence of the plated iilrn, the metal atoms should pass linearly from their source to the surface to be coated and this requires the maintenance of pressures of about 10-4 Iof mercury in the vacuum chamber.
In' cathode sputtering, Ya high voltage is impressed between an anode and a cathode of the plating metal. The cathode is vaporized by positive-ion bombardment, some of the vapor diffusing laway lfrom the cathode and depositing on the web to be plated, The voltage requirements `depend on the nature of the cathode metal. At pressures of 0.01 to 0110 mm. of mercury necessary to maintain the glow discharge, the ordinary laws of diffusion prevail. After plating, fthe web is re-rolled on takeup drum 11 in preparation for the next step.
To produce a yarn having the color properties of the metal deposit, the metallized web is then coated on the metal side with a transparent plastic in solution or suspension which is related structurally to andhas an ailinity for the -web which is metallized. That is to say, the plastic coating must have substantially the same tensile strength 4and elongation characteristics as the web material. Since the metal layer is of molecular thickness it is inherently permeable to the liquid plastic coated thereon.
The plastic coating can be applied by a roller coater, a reverse roller coater, or by the llexographic or rotogravure process. By way of illustration, FIG. l shows a direct three roll coater. The coater, generally designated by numeral 13, includes a bath -14 for containing the liquid, a first roller 15 which is rotatable within the bath and acts to apply the liquid to a second roller 16 which engages the metallized surface of the web 10, the Web being pressed against the second roller by means of a third roller 17.
The wet plastic coating formed on the web 10 is then dried and cured by passing the web through a suitable oven 18 which is properly heated and vented lto drive olf ali solvents and at the same time to effect the curing of the coated material. For heating purposes, steam, gas
heat or infra-red radiation may be employed, as desired.
The temperature of the oven and the travel time therethrough are determined by the specific web and coating materials. The coating is further cured by cooling drums 19 `disposed at the opposite end of the oven. Cooling may be accomplished by a circulating water system or a refrigerant. Thereafter the metallized and coated web is longitudinally severed or slit in :a conventional slitter 20 into tapes each having la width appropriate to staple fibers.
In FIG. 2 there is shown' la section taken through the tape. The tape is composed of a thermoplastic base strip 21, a thin metall coating 22 being deposited thereon and a plastic lm 23 being intimately bonded to the surface of the metallized strip to form an integral structure. Preferably the strip is about l/2 mil in thickness and the film is yabout 1/s mil thickness, the thickness of the deposit being negligible. Thus the total thickness is less than one-thousandth of an inch.
The color or luster of the tape produced in the above- 4described technique is determined by the natural color of Ithe metal deposition. However, it is also possible to generate other colors -by adding a dye or pigment to the plastic coating fluid, in which event the resultant color in the finished tape is the combination of the metal and pigment hues. For example, as shown in section in FIG. 3, a gold eEect may be realized by a silver or aluminum metal deposit 22 in combination kwith a plastic coverin-g 23 having an' amber dye or translucent pigment therein. To have the gold effect on either side it is also necessary Vto color the non-metallized surface of the base strip and this is best vaccomplished by aapplying the pigmented or ldyed liquid plastic 24 to this side as well as the metallized side, so that a film is formed on both sides of the base strip.
As pointed out previously, it is important that the plastic coating on the metallized web be related structurally and have an ainity for the web material. Where 'the web material is constituted by Mylar, it has been found that an effective coating is one in which the basic make-up of the solids `are `approxinrrately as follows on a ratio basis per weight:
1 part Vinylite VAGH l part Vinylite VMCH 1 part nitrite rubber .12 ultra-violet light absorber The ratio basis of the above constituents may be varied without materially impairing the efficacy of the mixture by reducing the Vinylite VAGH to an extent not exceeding about 30%, and by increasing the Vinylite VMCH to an extent not exceeding about 30%. Alternatively, the Vinylite VAGH may be increased by 30% and the Vinylite VMCH decreased by 30%. However, the nitrite rubber should be held more or less constant, as well as the ultra-violet light absorber.
The light yabsorber acts aswan 'anti-oxidant relative to L?. the rubber and in lesser amounts than above indicated is not fully effective. On the other hand, an increased yarnount Would not signicantly improve the ultra-violet light resistance of the dried lilm laid down with the coating composition. The light absorber prevents discoloration `of the film.
'Ihe nitrite rubber is available commercially from several sources. The nitrite content may run between 30 to 36% and the balance made up of butadiene. This type of rubber is higher in sacro-nitrite content, giving a harder polymer which is necessary to add to the compositions for a non-blocking coating and one that will resist boilin-g of coating when the coated material is formed into metallic yarn and subjected to various dye and cleaning processes, etc.
The Vinylite VMCH is manufactured by Bakelite Corp. under their trade name, the chemical composition being as follows:
Vinylite VAGH is also manufactured by Bakelite Corp., the chemical constituents being the following:
Percent Vinyl chloride 91 Vinyl acetate 3 Organic material having hydroxyl group (2.6 times greater when calcul-ated as vinyl alcohol) 6 The function of the Vinylite VMCH is to effect 'adherence to metallic surfaces and also to plain polyester surfaces. The Vinylite VAGH gives better range for hardness and overall compatibility which allows the introduction of a wider range lof colors. v
The Vinylite VMCH does not tolerate the addition of many pigments or dyes, and resort is therefore had to VAGH for broader compatibility of colors to be added,
as Well Ias to good adhesion, along with a material that is hard, thereby imparting a non-blocking character to the coating film itself. Various types of light fast azo dyes,
-vat dyes and various types of pigment ldispersions are compatible in this mixture. i'
This mixture may be dissolved in a straight ketone sys-V tem, such as acetone or where high volatility and evoparation of solvents is desired. For general coating operations on reverse -roll coaters, the solvent system may be 2/3 methyl ethyl ketone and 1/3 varomatic hydrocarbon, such as toluol solvent. The solids may range between 18 to 23% for a low viscosity mixture.
A metallized tape formed in `accordance with the above described process and including a Mylar base or web will afford increased yardage per pound of Mylar las cornpared with conventional laminated structures since only one ply of Mylar is entailed. And since no adhesive ris employed, the plastic coating being integrally bonded to the web, lche tape and the staple fibers derived cannot delaminate.
As pointed yout above, the broad metallized web is slit down to tape size. In practice, a web having a 48 inch width is cut down to a narrow tape Whose width is equal to the preferred length of staple fiber. Thus, the width of the tape may run between about one and three inches,
as is the case with standard short and long staple lengths Y in natural bers, such as cotton or Wool.
As shown in FIG. 4, the continuous tape 25 is fed through a staple cutter or chopper which may take the form of a cutting drum 26 having an array of radially extending blades Z7 arranged circumferentially thereon. The blades, which cut the tape transversely against a platen 2S, are spaced from each other rat distances equal to the desired width of the staple fibers 29 which are cut from the tape. The width fof the staple ber preferably is about 1/120 of an inch. Alternatively a reciprocating blade may be used to chop the tape into fibers. The individual staple bers Iare extremely thin and ylight and are readily spun into yarn by known spinning techniques such as those described in Man Made Textile Encyclopedia, edited by J. J. Press land published by Textile Book Publishers, Inc. (f1959). The objects of spinning are to reduce the bulk fed to the desired size, to insert twist and to produce a rm package suitable for the next operation. A spun yarn is a continuous strand of brous material which has received its nal attenuation and has been twisted to give it suicient strength or other desired characteristics.
In `order to improve the spinning qualities of the staple bers of metallized material, the tape is cut by blades having a serrated cutting edge, whereby as shown in FIG. 5, the edges 29a and 29b are similarly corrugated or serrated to augment the interlocking characteristics of the bers. While the individual bers are at, the yarn resulting from spinning these bers are generally round, the spun yarn, 'when woven, provides a fabric having a soft hand an appearance which 'diers signioiently from that obtained with continuous metallized at threads. It has been found that the spun metallized yarns provide a rich and warm metallic glitter not achieved by any other form of yarn.
It is also possible to intermix metallic staple bers of different colors to provide unusual col'or effects, or to combine metallic staple bers with conventional staples of natural or synthetic material to produce radiant spots of color and to achieve other remarkable decorative effects. The metallized staple bers may also be combined with paper in Ia paper making machine, the bers being deposited on the wet web in the machine and forming an integral part of the nished sheet when the web is dried.
The metalllized staple bers are also usable as a rellective tinsel or chaff which may be jettisoned from lan aircraft to effect deceptive jamming effects in connection with radar or other military detection devices. The extreme lightness 'of the chad causes it to float in the atmosphere for long periods.
The plastic lm for the metallized carrier or web material may also be derived from polyester resins and epoxies in solution which when dried land cured `form a lrn having a strong anity for the carrier particularly when the carrier is Mylar. The metallized staple bers may be intermixed with non-metallic bers of natural or synthetic material to form composite spun yarns, as shown in FIG. 6, spotted with metal land having a decorative glitter. Such non-metallic staple bers as wool, silk and cotton may be used in this connection. The spun yarn is made up of metallized bers Fm and non-metallized bers Fn.
While there have been shown what are considered to be preferred embodiments :of the invention, it will be manifest that many changes and modications may be made therein Without departing from the essential spirit of the invention. It is intended, therefore, in the annexed claims to cover all such changes and modications as fal-l within the true scope of the invention.

Residents of bankrupt California city launch recall of city's council, mayor, and city attorneySubmitted by PeaceProsperity on Sat, 05/04/2013 - 16:16
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Up in arms against the leadership it blames for San Bernardino's bankruptcy, a group of business people and residents on Thursday launched a campaign to recall the California city's council, mayor and city attorney.
The group, looking for a "clean sweep" inside crisis-hit San Bernardino, presented its initiative on the steps of City Hall before a crowd of residents and local media.
San Bernardino, a city of 210,000 about 65 miles east of Los Angeles, filed for bankruptcy in August 2012 citing a cash-flow crisis and a budget deficit of $45 million for the current fiscal year.
