Marriage dates
Right, they are only stored internally and are only used to display spouses in the correct order. If there is only one spouse it's not needed, but maybe in the future they will list those dates, just guessing on that.

RE: Wedding Dates
When you click on [Link family members] this screen pops up, where you can plug in memorial numbers for parents or a spouse.
- Father:
- Mother:
- Spouse:
- - Year Married (optional)
- Spouse #2:
- - Year Married (optional)
It's ONLY in the Spouse area where a year of marriage can be added, and that is never visible on the actual memorial page.
Hope this helps, & makes sense!

You sent me an edit indicating her burial location as Block 7 Lot 39 Grave 3, yet on her husband's memorial you indicate his burial location as Block 7 Lot 34 Grave 1. Since they share the same headstone, I was just wondering?

Geri Hemp Mercer
Grahn family
Have you any information on Christian and Louisa Grahn? Their daughter, my g-g-grandmother Mathilda C. Grahn was married to Herman Hemp and they lived in Jefferson and Neillesville, WI, finally moved to Valley City, ND. Her obituary names a brother Fred Grahn and sister Pauline Grahn of Wimbledon, ND, at the time of Mathilde's death (1921), and in Germany Herman Grahn and Minnie Schame. Have you researched the Grahn family and have any information on Christian, Fred or Louise? Thank you.

It seemed an easy fix to prevent the excesses of the housing market: make home buyers put more money down.
Posted 26 April 2013 - 06:15 PM
Personally, I think a down payment should be a requirement. 20% was always the standard and I think that's a fair number, but I also know how drastically home prices have risen over the last 20-25 years. Also, there were and still are loan programs out there that will let you go lower to say 10%, sometimes 5% under exceptional circumstances.
Another factor mention is the "affordability" of the loan wihch (IMHO) used in conjunction with a down payment requirement would probably give a much better idea to lenders of the viability of the borrower to be able to pay back the loan and on the borrower's side, it gives a giid indication if the home & mortgage you're about to take on is feasible for you at your current debt/income levels.
We live in such an "instant gratification" society these days, working and saving for several years to build up a good-sized down payment is not the norm anymore. Sure, people still do it but the whole subprime, NIV mess created a world where you didn't have to have a down payment, didn't have to prove your income and could buy way more house than you could really afford and there were plenty of greedy lenders standing by to give you the money to do it, regardless of your obvious inability to be able to make the monthly payments. Then when the bubble burst and people were defaulting on loans left and right, well... we all know how that story ended.

"What now?"
The words echoed across the area, nothing to interrupt them, nothing to change the mood.
"What now?!" You asked again, more assertive this time. Your eyes scanned their sullen faces, looking for anything to cheer you up. Finally, you sighed defeated as tears started forming in your eyes. Slumping to the ground in defeat, you allowed yourself to cry. You had tried so hard, but now, it was all for nothing.
"All for nothing"
"What?" The others looked at you.
"THIS WAS ALL FOR NOTHING! THE PLANT ISN'T HERE AND WILLIAM IS GOING TO DIE WITHOUT IT. WE SHOULD'VE JUST STAYED WITH HIM SO HE WOULDN'T BE ALONE." You screamed, not knowing how else to channel your emotions. And, much to your displeasure, everyone

CHICAGO New U.S. regulations aimed at curbing pollution from power plants could drive up metals prices and the cost of goods made from metals, according to industry analysts and trade associations.
The new rules, announced June 2 by the Environmental Protection Agency, could lead to higher natural gas and electricity costs, which in turn could force metals producers and their downstream customersincluding automakersto attempt to pass higher raw materials costs on to end-users, they said.
The new regulations are also a blow to the domestic coal industry, a big consumer of steel, analysts said.
Such warnings come as the EPA looks to slash carbon emissions from existing power plants, which according to the agency are the biggest source of pollution in the United States. The EPA wants to cut carbon emissions from the power sector by 30 percent from 2005 levels, it said June 2.
"We dont have to choose between a healthy economy and a healthy environmentour action will sharpen Americas competitive edge, spur innovation and create jobs," EPA administrator Gina McCarthy said in a statement.
But the new regulations could do just the opposite, making power more expensive and less reliable, as well as pushing jobs and emissions overseas, American Iron and Steel Institute president and chief executive officer Thomas J. Gibson said.
"When CO2 regulations are instituted in the United States, limitations must apply at the same level of stringency to other major steel-producing nations, such as China," Gibson said in a statement June 2. "Otherwise, steel production and manufacturing jobs will shift to other nations with higher rates of (greenhouse gas) emissions."
The Aluminum Association also stressed the importance of predictable, low-cost electricity for a competitive domestic industry, noting that it is reviewing the new rules and will provide the EPA with feedback.
"It means energy costs are going to go up. Thats the bottom line," Charles Bradford, principal of New York-based Metals Industry Advisory Group LLC, told AMM, adding that higher power prices could lead to higher steel tags, although that isnt guaranteed.
"It definitely makes the U.S. steel industry less competitive. But its not something they can necessarily pass on to their customers because were not living in inflationary times," he said, also pointing to European carbon policiesand resulting higher pricesas a warning to steelmakers in the United States.
"This is one of the things killing the European steel industry. Their energy costs have gone sky high, theyre noncompetitive and theyre going to have to close some steel mills down," Bradford said. But U.S. steelmakers wont suffer as much as their European counterparts, in part because of abundant shale gas production, he added.
The new regulations will have an impact on steel in general, which means they could impact downstream steel consumers, including the automotive sector, according to Chris Kuehl, an economist and managing director of Lawrence, Kan.-based Armada Corporate Intelligence. However, its too early to jump to any firm conclusions, he said.
The rules will push more power generation capacity away from coal and toward natural gas, Kuehl said, brushing aside wind and solar as bit players, which means steel and metals producers will be more reliant on historically more volatile natural gas prices, although that volatility could be muted because of shale production.
"We were developing a tidy little advantage in steel production because of cheap energy. We may still have it, but is there going to be time to transition from cheap coal to cheap gas?" Kuehl asked.
A key factor will be whether and to what extent big utilitiesespecially in southern stateschoose to contest the new rules or seek to boost rates, and whether state utility boards approve higher rates, he said.
"If (utility boards) think there is a big enough change in how utilities make their money, they may approve some pretty hefty rate hikes," Kuehl added.

Sacramento River Cats Trivia Time (2009)
Let's go back 5 ½ years ago to 2009 and test your River Cats knowledge. I am trusting you to not go to the internet to get your answers. I will have all of the correct answers in my next blog. Good luck!
Match the statements with the correct player (Answers will be in the next blog)
1) – I am from Florida and attended Land O' Lakes High School. My dad was a legendary coach there and they ended up naming the high school baseball field after him. Who am I?
2) – I played 2B and some OF with the River Cats in 2009 and I famously stole home in a game that year at Raley Field. My brother played with the Chicago Cubs and I actually came up through the Cubs system originally. Who am I?
3)- I was the starting SS for the River Cats for much of the year in 2009 and I am a former 1st round pick of the A's. I am now 30 and play for the Arizona Diamondbacks. I played my collegiate baseball at Texas A & M. Who am I?
4- I caught for most of the year with the River Cats in 09 and did a little DHing as well. I am now the backup catcher for the New York Mets and I married former homegrown lefty Brad Kilby's cousin. Who am I?
5) – I am the homegrown lefty from Elk Grove. It was a thrill to pitch for the River Cats as I attended River Cats games when I was in high school and college. I made my big league debut on September 2nd, 2009. I am now coaching baseball at Franklin High School. Who am I?
6) – I played the outfield, first base, and I DH'd for a bit the first part of 2009. I became a pitcher, making the conversion in 2011 and worked my way to the big leagues in 2012. I am now an all-star closer and at one point in 2014, I had walked one and struck out 63 batters. Who am I?
7) – I could have made millions being a voiceover specialist as I have the gift of a "movie trailer voice". Instead, I am now a major league baseball player and with the San Diego Padres over the last several years I have put up good numbers as an everyday outfielder in the big leagues. I finished 2014 with the Seattle Mariners. I was the River Cats center fielder and right fielder in 2009. Who am I?
8) – I played some first base and was the designated hitter at times in 2009. I made my big league debut at Fenway Park on July 28th that year starting at first base for the Oakland A's. Who am I?
Relax and take yourself back to 2009. I will have the answers for you in the next blog.
Park Factors 101
You may have heard of the terms "hitter's park" and "pitcher's park" being used to describe ballparks both in the PCL and MLB. These terms are used to indicate that some parks tend to feature games with more runs, while others tend to suppress offense. This is because unlike in most sports, baseball's playing field is not standardized. Plus, the differing climates and altitudes also affect play (for example, the thin, dry air of Colorado helps balls fly farther, while the sea-level humid air of San Francisco supresses hits).
Measuring a ballpark's offensive or defensive inclinations is called Park Factors. Park Factors uses a simple mathematical formula to calculate the relative amount of offense a ballpark has in comparison to the rest of the league. This is the one ESPN uses to calculate MLB ballpark factors:
And here's why it works.
The formula combines all the runs scored at the home ballpark and divides it by number of games, which comes out to the average (the mean) total number of runs scored in each game.
It also combines all the runs scored in games played by that ballpark's team away from that park and divides it by the number of games, which comes out to the average total number of runs scored in each away game. Since those games feature the same players that also played at the home ballpark, the only variable that changes is the ballpark. By dividing the two, you are level with a number that indicates if more or fewer runs are scored at the home ballpark than at all other ballparks in the league.
If the home ballpark is perfectly average, the Park Factor is 1.000, meaning that the average number of runs scored at the home ballpark is the same as the average number of runs scored at all the other ballparks.
If the home ballpark is a "hitter's park," the Park Factor is above 1.000, which means a higher than average number of runs is scored at the home ballpark.
If the home ballpark is a "pitcher's park," the Park Factor is below 1.000, which means fewer runs are scored at that park than other parks on average.
This formula can work for any counting statistic: hits, doubles, triples, home runs, and so on, just by replacing "runs." The Park Factor for each statistic changes because some parks' dimensions encourage certain types of hits, such as AT&T Park's infamous Triple's Alley.
Here is ESPN's list of MLB Park Factors for 2014. If you don't quite feel like clicking on that link, just know that our MLB affiliate San Francisco Giants play in a pitcher's park. AT&T Park's Park Factor is .920 (25th overall), with a Home Run Park Factor of .677 (dead last).
Of course, playing in a pitcher's park is nothing new to River Cats fans. Here are the Raley Field Park Factors for 2014:
Runs: .728
Hits: .846
Home runs: .681
That means in each of the main three offensive categories, Raley Field allows fewer than the PCL average. This doesn't mean that games lack runs, however – the PCL is one of the highest scoring leagues in North America. It just means that Raley Field will help the ace pitching prospects the Giants are notorious for developing.
How It's Made: Theme Night Jerseys
One of the more unique aspects of minor league sports is the theme night jersey. Eschewing their normal colors and logos, for one night a team can honor the military, be R2-D2, or raise money for breast cancer awareness. One minor league hockey team even honored Seinfeld's famous puffy shirt episode. They're some of the most anticipated nights on the schedule.
A lot of work goes behind the scenes to produce these specialty jerseys. To illustrate the process of creating one, we'll take you through how we created last season's Social Media Night jersey.
Our Social Media Night jerseys for Aug. 13 at Raley Field. Yes, the players' @Twitter handles will be on the back. pic.twitter.com/XlvsV0Ggdy
— River Cats (@RiverCats) March 27, 2014
The process begins far in advance of the night itself. It begins the previous season, when the themes nights are thought of and planned. After the theme nights are decided upon, we choose a few that we think could have really awesome specialty jerseys that could raise money for some great causes. One night was Social Media Night, held on August 13.
Once an idea has been decided upon, details start getting hashed out. We knew it had to tie in closely with social media, and we wanted our players' Twitter handles to be on the back.With those two guides, the design process started.
First, a more solid theme was hammered down. We knew that it was "Social Media," but that could be Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or some amaglam of all of them and more. Guided by the knowledge that the Twitter handles were going to be in place of the standard nameplates, we settled on Twitter-themed jerseys.
The next step was the graphic design equivalent of throwing everything at a wall and seeing what sticks. Lots ofdesigns were created, most of them not very good, in an effort to find a good idea.
After the "@RiverCats" logo was chosen as the main point of the jersey, the rest of the jersey was designed around it. With the predilection for hashtags being apparent in the logo concepts, we decided to bring the hashtags into the sleeves.
To balance out the slanted "River Cats" logo, we added the Verified logo. And rather than throwing out the logo that evoked Twitter's old "t" logo, we used that as a sleeve patch. We finished off the jersey with the nameplates, using the internet's official font: Impact. This concept was sent to the printer for their edits.
Finally, we got the final version from the printer, who makes color and pattern edits that perfects the jersey. The entire process, from first deciding to create a jersey to actually getting the jersey to give to the players, takes almost an entire year. It's a long process, but it's worth it, don't you think?
Yes, that means we are in the process of creating a slew of specialty jerseys right now, to go with theme nights old and new. But we're not giving any hints… yet.

2015 Roster Possibilities Pt. 1: Andrew Susac
With the 2014 Major League postseason still underway, it's tough to tell which players will be calling Raley Field home in 2015.
That won't stop us from trying, though.
The first player we'll look at is Roseville native and Jesuit grad Andrew Susac. After being selected in the 16th round of the 2009 first-year player draft by the Philadelphia Phillies, Susac chose not to sign and instead enrolled at Oregon State University. The decision paid off when Susac was drafted in the second round of the 2011 draft by the San Francisco Giants.
He began his MiLB career in San Jose in 2012, working his way up to Double-A Richmond in 2013 and eventually made it all the way to the big leagues in 2014. Susac held his own at the highest level, hitting .273 with a .326 on-base percentage and a .466 slugging percentage in 88 at-bats spanning 35 games played with San Francisco.
Before making his big league debut May 22, Susac played 63 games at the Triple-A level, clubbing 10 home runs in 213 at-bats. Four of those games took place at Raley Field, and included two two-hit performances.
As a catcher, Susac made the Giants' NLDS roster. With Buster Posey making more and more starts at first base for San Francisco, it's likely that Susac will begin the 2015 season behind the plate at AT&T Park. If, however, he doesn't begin the year in the bigs, he's sure to be wowing River Cats fans right here in Sacramento before returning to the show.
PCL Affilate Shuffle
It's been a busy offseason in the Pacific Coast League with six teams changing Major League affiliations. You already know that we're now affiliated with the San Francisco Giants, but what other changes were made, and how will it affect the River Cats moving forward?
In Sacramento's division (the Pacific Northern Division), the Fresno Grizzlies are now affiliated with the Houston Astros. The good news is that Tony DeFrancesco (Sacramento's manager for seven seasons and Houston's current Triple-A manager) will make eight visits to the Capitol City this season. The bad news is that Houston's Triple-A club could be stacked in 2015 with as many as 10 former first-round draft picks. The other two teams in the division (Tacoma/Seattle and Reno/Arizona) did not change affiliations.
In the Pacific Southern Division, the Albuquerque Isotopes are now the Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies after previously being affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers. El Paso, Salt Lake, and Las Vegas all re-signed with the San Diego Padres, Los Angles Angels of Anaheim, and New York Mets respectively.
The PCL's American Conference saw three affiliation changes. The Oakland Athletics Triple-A squad will now call Nashville home and will visit Sacramento on May 25-28. The Oklahoma City RedHawks are now the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Colorado Springs Sky Sox will now feature players and coaches from the Milwaukee Brewers organization.
2015 promises to be one of the most interesting seasons in River Cats history. Buckle up!
Former River Cats/Giants
In our 15 years in Sacramento, hundreds of players have worn our uniform. Of those hundreds of players, 33 have also played for our new MLB affiliate–the San Francisco Giants.
The most notable of those names is 2002 Cy Young Award winner Barry Zito. In his only season with the River Cats (2000), Zito made 18 starts to the dune of a 3.19 ERA including 91 strikeouts and 45 walks in 101.2 innings of work. After winning the Cy Young award with the A's in 2002, Zito signed a seven-year deal with the San Francisco Giants, eventually helping the club win two World Series titles in 2010 and 2012.
Another big-time player to play for both the River Cats and Giants is Tim Hudson. Huddy, who made one rehab start for Sacramento 2004, signed a two-year deal with the Giants prior to the 2014 season. In his lone River Cats start, he tossed three innings on two hits and two earned runs with two walks and three strikeouts.
Current Giants closer Santiago Casilla (formerly known as Jairo Garcia) has appeared in 105 games for Sacramento in his career. He has a 3.98 ERA and 28 saves in 122.2 innings of work in those games. Additionally, Keith Foulke played briefly for the River Cats and Giants, eventually going on to win the 2004 World Series with the Boston Red Sox.
Here's the complete list of players to have played for both the River Cats and Giants. The list is currently 33 names long. How big will it be after the 2015 season? We'll set the over/under at 50.

Johnny Doskow – On the Road
Hi. My name is Johnny Doskow and I do the radio play-by-play with the Sacramento River Cats. I am about to embark on my 15th season with the River Cats and I wanted to share some thoughts on this blog about my travels and experiences in baseball.
People like to ask the minor league broadcasters about their favorite cities and ballparks and although I am partial to Raley Field, I will share with you my top 5 favorite cities to travel to in the Coast League.
- Memphis
There is nothing quite like Beale Street for music and food. Blues City Café and Gus' Famous Chicken are two of my personal favorites. We only go there every other year for four days so I make sure that I feast on ribs and chicken while we are there. In 2009 I was fortunate enough to go on a tour of Sun Studios, where Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash both recorded albums.
- Las Vegas
We stay downtown and not on the strip, but I have never not enjoyed going to Vegas during the season. Despite the hot weather at times and the high scoring games at Cashman Field, this city never gets old to me. I love the fact that it never closes and there are a number of places to eat after the games and always something going on.
- New Orleans
I love the French Quarter and really enjoy walking it during the day or after the game at night. The music is amazing and the people-watching on Bourbon Street is second to none. I enjoy the folks in the Big Easy and my brother came out to see me this summer there and we had a ball. I wish we were able to see it more than once every two years. Great city.
- Nashville
Nashville is another city that I wish we were able to get to more than once every two years. The downtown area is incredible and you meet people from all over the country when you go there. I have been to the country music hall of fame but have not been to the Johnny Cash museum as of yet but plan to in the future. This is another city with outstanding restaurants.
- Iowa
Do not sleep on Des Moines, Iowa. Phenomenal town. Maybe it is the fact that I started my career in Iowa, but I do have a soft spot in my heart for Iowa and specifically Des Moines. Don't knock it until you have been there. I love to explore the downtowns of these cities and this could be my favorite. We used to stay walking distance from the ballpark and that made it even better as you could walk to the ballpark. I hope they move the hotel back to downtown again. Zombie Burger is a place to eat and the shakes there are ridiculously good.
Giant News
It's official! The Sacramento River Cats are now the Triple-A affiliate for the San Francisco Giants!!
We are ecstatic to partner with the seven-time World Series Champs to give Sacramento-area sports fans what they've been clamoring for: more #SFGiants!
The change was announced Friday morning at a press conference at Raley Field that was attended by River Cats president Jeff Savage, Giants VP & Assistant General Manager Chip Maxson, Dusty Baker, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon, former Giants pitcher Jim Barr, and every Sacramento-area media outlet.
From the River Cats perspective, the move was made for the fans, as an overwhelming majority of Sacramento-area sports fans are San Francisco Giants fans.
"We appreciate the 15 successful years we've had with the Oakland Athletics," said River Cats President Jeff Savage, "and we're grateful for the tremendous support that the region has shown us. Our mission here at Raley Field has always been, and always will be, giving the Sacramento community the best fan experience possible. We're extremely excited to join the Giants family, and can't wait for our 2015 home opener on April 9."
From the Giants perspective, the move made sense in several respects: Raley Field is one of the premier facilities in minor league baseball, and its proximity to San Francisco is unmatched at this level.
"Sacramento is a great baseball town and the area has traditionally produced top baseball talent for the Major Leagues. Our affiliation with the River Cats provides us with an outstanding player development environment, and we are excited about the opportunity to work with our young players at Raley Field," said Giants Senior Vice President and General Manager Brian Sabean.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Center Martin Hanzal scored his third goal in as many games, and goalie Mike Smith earned his second consecutive win as the defending Pacific Division champion Phoenix Coyotes recorded a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Monday. Hanzal gave the Coyotes (4-4-2) a 2-0 lead at 7:48 of the second period. Smith held off the Wild the rest of the way, giving up only a goal to Zach Parise after a defensive giveaway midway through the second period.

Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Patented Mar. 2, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND PROCESS OF PREPARING THE SAME No Drawing. Application May 11, 1936, Serial No. 79,178
14 Claims.
This invention relates to substitution products of deacetylated chitin and more particularly to alkyl and substituted alkyl deacetylated chitins, and to methods for making them.
This case is a continuation in part of my copending application Serial Number 731,600, filed June 21, 1934.
Chitin is the chief component of the horny exo-skeletons of crustacea such as shrimp, crabs and lobsters. According to the currently accepted theories, it is a polymer of an acetylated glucosamine. Various attempts have been made to deacetylate the material to an extent such that it would be soluble in dilute acids while retain- 15 ing the chitin nucleus sufliciently unchanged that the product could be regarded as substantially undegraded, i. e. such that a coherent film could be obtained therefrom.
Such attempts were not successful prior to the invention outlined in the above-identified application which discloses a process whereby a substantially undegraded chitin, deacetylated to the point of solubility in 5% aqueous acetic acid, may be obtained. This is a true deacetylated chitin, since the chitin structure is retained therein and yet at least some of the acetyl groups have been removed. The term deacetylated chitin, as it is used herein to characterize the starting material, indicates this particular product. Where chitin is used as the parent name for the products of the present application (e. g. benzyl deacetylated chitin), I also desire to convey the meaning that the chitin nucleus remains sufficiently unchanged so that the product can be regarded as substantially undegraded.
This invention has as an object the preparation of alkyl deacetylated chitins in which the alkyl groups in turn may or may not contain substituent groups such as hydroxyl, carboxyl, and aryl. Other objects will appear hereinafter.
These objects are accomplished by the following invention wherein deacetylated chitin as above defined is reacted in neutral, acid or alkaline medium with an etherifying agent, for example, an alkylating agent, having, for example, the formula (R) 11X, where X is a functional group capable of uniting with primary amino hydrogen, n is the valence of X, and R is an alkyl, alkenyl or substituted alkyl or alkenyl radical. The products may be considered as derivatives of deacetylated chitin in which reactive hydrogen is replaced by an alkyl, alkenyl or substituted alkyl or alkenyl radical.
In carrying out my invention, I may follow any 55 one of four general processes. In the first (Example I), a solution of the deacetylated chitin in acid is emulsified with the alkylating agent and alkali then added, in successive small portions if desired. In the second, (Example 11), the deacetylated chitin is first converted to a more reactive form by dissolving in acid and precipitating with ammonia or alkalies, the reprecipitated deacetylated chitin then being separated and treated with alkali, after which it is reacted with the alkylating agent. In the third method (Example III), the deacetylated chitin is reacted directly with alkali and alkylating agent without a preliminary solution in acid or a preliminary precipitation. The fourth method (Example IV) consists in carrying out the reaction in the presence of a diluent, other details being the same as for any one of the preceding three methods.
The exact nature of the products, with particular reference to degree of substitution and solubility, will depend upon, among other things,
which of the above methods is followed. With comparable proportions, temperatures, and the like, the degree of substitution will generally be highest by the first method, less by the second, still less by the third, and least by the fourth. Under similarly comparable conditions, the solubility in aqueous acids will increase, and the solubility in organic solvents decrease, in the order of methods 1, 2, 3, and 4. The first method is in general preferable since it permits the preparation of products having a wider range of substitution and solubility.
Having thus outlined the principles and objects of the invention, the following exemplifications of the invention are added in illustration and not in limitation.
Example I Three hundred parts of deacetylated chitin (having a viscosity of 13 poises in 5% solution in 1.5% acetic acid at 25 C.) dissolved in 5,700 parts of 1.5% acetic acid were emulsified with 1915 parts of. benzyl chloride by adequate stirring. To this emulsion was added 1340 parts of 50% sodium hydroxide. The temperature was raised to 90 C. and stirring continued for 16 hours. The product gradually separated as a soft gum which clung to the stirrer and to the reaction vessel. At the end of the reaction the aqueous layer was separated and the gum hardened with methanol. The solid thus obtained was repeatedly macerated with methanol and finally water until the washings were halogen free. After drying at 60 C. the white porous solid amounted to 577.3 parts.
The benzyl deacetylated chitin prepared above was soluble in glacial acetic acid, benzyl alcohol, chloroform, dioxane, pyridine, 90% chloroform: 10% alcohol, 90% toluene- 10% alcohol, and
5 80% benzene 20% alcohol. It was swollen by acetone, ethyl acetate, and 90% amyl acetate: alcohol. It was insoluble in 1.5% acetic acid, water, alcohol, methanol, ether and linseed oil.
10 A solution of the product prepared by dissolving parts of. the solid in 45 parts of a mixture of 80% benzene alcohol gave a clear, transparent, tough and water resistant film when cast on a glass plate and allowed to dry.
15 A solution of one part of this derivative in 22.6
parts of a mixture of 90% toluene and 10% alcohol was mixed with a solution of 9 parts of cellulose acetate in 34 parts of acetone. The resultant solution was somewhat cloudy. when 20 cast on a glass plate and allowed to dry it gave a white and opaque film which was strong, flexible and tough.
A solution of 1.2 parts of the benzyl derivative of deacetylated chitin in22 parts of ethanol, 48 25 parts of toluene and 17.5 parts of ethyl acetate was added to 10.8 parts of nitrocellulose and the mixture stirred until homogeneous. The resulting solution was somewhat cloudy and gave an opaque white film when cast on a glass plate and dried.
Example I illustrates the preferred method of preparing an organic solvent soluble derivative of deacetylated chitin. The product contains about 2 benzyl groups per Cs unit as shown. by the increase in weight and by the amount of acid taken up from 0.1 N hydrochloric acid. Probably only about half of the benzyl groups are on the nitrogen atom since a glacial acetic acid solution of the product reacts rapidly at 50 C. with o acetic anhydride to form an insoluble product (see Example XI) Example II To 300 parts of deacetylated chitin was added 5,700 parts of 1.5% acetic acid and the mixture stirred to a clear solution. This solution was then poured into 8,000 parts of water containing 500 parts of 28% aqueous ammonia. The solid was separated, broken up into small pieces by rapid stirring, filtered and washed once with water. I'he moist solid was transferred to a suitable vessel and mixed with 785 parts by vol ume of sodium hydroxide. The mixture was Y heated with stirring until all the ammonia had been driven out and then 1,910 parts of benzyl chloride was added. Stirring and heating at 100-105 C. were continued for 5 hours, then the temperature was lowered to 90 C. for 19 hours. The viscous'gum was separated from the aqueous solution, hardened in methanol, ground to a fine powder in a power grinder, and steamed until benzyl alcohol and excess benzyl chloride had been removed. The product was dissolved in a mixture of 80 parts of benzene and 20 parts a1- cohol, diluted to a suitable concentration with this solvent, filtered, and a small quantity of wetting agent or soap added. 7 This solution was then steamed until the solvent had been completely removed. The product was a white porous powder, easily washed with water and easily redissolved in organic solvents.
Example [II To 750 parts of deacetylated chitin suspended in 3,000 parts of water was added 4,710 parts of benzyl chloride and 2,980 parts of 50% sodium hydroxide. The mixture was heated for 24 hours at C. withemeient stirring. The gum was separated from the aqueous layer and 300 parts of benzene was added. The benzenesolution was then steamed to remove the solvent. The solid thus obtained was washed with water until the washings were halogen free and dried at 50 C. The yield was 1,548 parts by weight.
The product was easily soluble in glacial acetic acid, benzyl alcohol, chloroform, dioxane, pyridine, amyl acetate and 10% alcohol, 90% chloroform and 10% alcohol, 90% toluene and 10% alcohol and 80% benzene and 20% alcohol. It was swollen by acetone and ethyl acetate. It was insoluble in 1.5% acetic acid and in imseed 011.
Example IV To 75 parts of deacetylated chitin (having a viscosity of 14 poises in 5% solution in 1.5% acetic acid at 25) contained in a suitable vessel were added 28 parts of glacial acetic acid, 600 parts of water, parts of benzene and 82 parts benzyl chloride. 'The mixture was stirred until a homogeneous emulsion was obtained, then 82.5 parts of 50% sodium hydroxide solution was added. The temperature was raised to 80 C. and stirring continued for 16 hours. The product, after washing, was broken up as in Example I and dried to 99.7 parts.
The benzyl deacetylated chitin prepared in Example IV was soluble in glacial acetic acid. and
1.5% acetic acid. It was highly swollen by benzyl alcohol, chloroform, dioxane, pyridine, ethyl acetate, 90% amyl acetate-10% alcohol mixture, 90% chloroform-10% alcohol mixture, and 90% toluene-10% alcohol mixture. It was insoluble in water, alcohol, methanohacetone, ether and linseed oil.
Example V product was poured into methanol, filtered, ex-
tracted with methanol and finally washed with water until the washings were free from halogen. The butyl deacetylated chitin thus obtained was soluble in 1.5% acetic acid, swollen by glacial acetic acid and insoluble. in organic solvents. Acid absorption showed that it contained about 1 butyl group per glucose amine residue.
Example VI Ten parts of deacetylated chitin was dissolved in 190 parts of 1.5% acetic acid and emulsified with 20 parts of n-dodecyl chloride. The emulsion was heated for 24 hours at 90 C. with stirring. It gradually increased in viscosity until the entire mass was a sticky gum. Fifty parts of 10% sodium hydroxide was added'and the heating continued for 8 hours. The entire mixture was then macerated with methanol, extracted with methanol, and finally washed with water until free of halogen, then dried. The dodecyl deacetylated chitin thus obtained (8 parts) was insoluble in benzyl alcohol, chloroform, dioxane, pyridine, and all organic solvents with which it was tested. It was difiicultly soluble in 1.5%
acetic acid. The n-dodecyl chloride used in this example may be replaced with good results by the mixture of alkyl chlorides obtained from the alcohols produced by carboxyl hydrogenation oi coconut and other saturated fatty oils.
In a similar preparation, 5 parts of deacetylated chitin yielded 9.5 parts of n-dodecyl deacetylated chitin after heating at 100 C. for 14 days with same proportions of alkali and dodecyl chloride as above. The product was soluble in glacial acetic acid from which solution a film was formed by casting on a glass plate and allowing the cast film to dry at room temperature.
Example VII To 225 parts of deacetylated chitin contained in a suitable vessel was added 5,200 parts of water and 528 parts of chloroacetic acid. The mixture was stirred until a clear homogeneous solution was obtained, then 910 parts of 50% sodium hydroxide solution was added during 6 hours. The temperature was held at 60-'70 C. for a total of 12 hours during which time stirring was continued. The product was a viscous, clear solution having a slightly alkaline reaction. The solution was poured with stirring into a large volume of methanol, filtered and the solid extracted with methanol until the washings were halogen free. The product after drying to a constant weight amounted to 279 parts. It was soluble in water, slightly alkaline solutions and slightly acid solutions, but was insoluble in strongly acid or strongly alkaline solutions. It was insoluble in organic solvents. Films of good clarity, flexibility and strength were prepared by allowing a neutral aqueous solution to dry on a glass plate.
Example VIII To 10 parts of deacetylated chitin suspended in 180 parts of water was added 25 parts of ethylene oxide. The mixture was agitated by suitable means for 12 hours at 30 C. At the end of this time the product was filtered off, washed with water and dried. The product thus obtained was soluble in 1.5% acetic acid to form a clear solution from which films of good quality were cast. Glycol chlorohydrin may be used instead of ethylene oxide.
Example IX 10 rts of deacetylated chitin dissolved in lll part s of 1.5% acetic acid was added, with stirring, 20 parts of ,6,,3-dichlorodiethyl ether. The emulsion thus obtained was heated to C. on a water bath with continued stirring while 124 parts of 10% sodium hydroxide was added during 12 hours. The material gradually became more viscous until the entire mass set to a elly. After washing the product with methanol and finally with water until the washings were free of halogen, it was dried at room temperature. The yield was 8 parts of a product insoluble in 1.5% acetic acid, glacial acetic acid and the usual organic solvents. This product is useful as a i ent. p gm Example X Seventeen hundred and twenty parts of diethyl sulfate was added to 300 parts of deacetylated chitin dissolved in 5,700 parts of 1.5% aqueous acetic acid. The mixture was stirred at room temperature until a homogeneous emulsion was obtained. Seventeen hundred and ninety parts of 50% sodium hydroxide were then added slowly accompanied by stirring and external cooling to keep the temperature below 45-55 C. After the initial reaction subsided, the temperature was gradually raised to C. at which point it was maintained for 8 hours, stirring being continued. The ethyl deacetylated chitin thus obtained was separated, washed with water until the washings were free of sulfate, and then dried at 50 C. to constant weight. This product was soluble in glacial acetic acid and in 1.5% aqueous acetic acid. Transparent, tough, and flexible films may be cast from a 5% solution in acid of the latter concentration. Methyl deacetylated chitin may be prepared in a similar manner from dimethyl sulfate.
The alkyl deacetylated chitins of the present invention may be esterifled as disclosed in the following example.
Example XI To one part of benzyl deacetylated chitin (prepared as in Example II) dissolved in 5 parts of glacial acetic acid was added with stirring, 5 parts of acetic anhydride. The solution soon warmed up and spontaneously set to a firm jelly.
This product was heated to 50 C. for 6 hours. The friable jelly thus obtained was mechanically broken up and then extracted with methanol and finally with water until all excess acid had been removed. After drying at room temperature, the white powder was found to be insoluble in pyridine, dioxane, methanol, benzene, water, 1.5% acetic acid and the usual organic solvents. It is useful as a pigment and a delusterant.
Examples I-X above disclose the introduction into deacetylated chitin of lower alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl and butyl, higher alkyl groups such as n-dodecyl, and substituted alkyl groups such as hydroxyethyl, benzyl, and carboxymethyl. Not only may the alkylating agent contain one reactive group as in Examples I to VIII and X, but it may also contain more than one as in Example IX.
Etherifying agents in general may be employed. These include not only alkylating agents in the narrow sense of agents introducing a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, but also etherifying agents which introduce a substituted alkyl radical, an oleflnic radical, etc. Thus the term etherifying agent includes benzyl bromide, ethyl iodide, methyl chloride, benzyl iodide, butyl bromide, ethylene chlorohydrin, glycerol chlorohydrin, chlorostearic acid, sodium dodecylsulfate, 1,3-dichlorobutene-2, 1-chloro-2-butene, ethoxyethyl chloride, methoxyethyl chloride, xylyl bromide, cyclohexyl chloride, propyl bromide, chloromalonic ester. The derivatives of the present invention thus include and the inwherein X is a functional group capable of reacting with primary amino hydrogen, for example C1, Br-, I, SO4=, CHsCc H4SO3-, and the like, n is equal to the valence of X and R is vent soluble (see Example IV).
a monovalent radical such as an alkyl, aralkvl, carboxyalkyl' or hydroxyalkyl radical, i. e., an alkyl or substituted alkyl radical;
Sodium hydroxide has been disclosed as a suitable base for alkylating and etherifying but any water soluble strong base may be employed including sodium, potassium, barium and calcium hydroxides.
Only substantially undegraded deacetylated chitin, e. g. that prepared by the process disclosed in my copending application Serial No. 731,600 is useful in the present invention. Chitin itself does not seem to be applicable to any step in this process. Substantially degraded deacetylated chitin does not give useful products. By degraded" is meant that a 5% solution in 5% acetic acid has a viscosity of less than one poise or that the deacetylated chitin is incapable of being formed into a coherent film.
The temperature at which the alkyl deacetylated chitins and other deacetylated chitin ethers are prepared varies with the reagent used. Thus deacetylated chitin and chloroacetic acid do not give useful products at temperatures much above 0., since dark colored decomposition products result. On the other hand less reactive reagents such as n-dodecyl chloride may require temperatures of C. or above to give a useful degree of substitution.
The etherification and particularly the alkyla tion of the deacetylated chitin may if desired be "agents of formed articles of deacetylated chitin,
such as films and filaments prepared as in my application Serial No. 731,601, under conditions which do not involve solution, whereby the film or filament is rendered more water-resistant and in many cases insoluble.
While I do not wish to be confined to any particular explanation of the present invention, I believe that in all instances reaction takes place at least in part at the amino groups of the deacetylated chitin. Whether or not the alcohol groups therein are involved probably depends upon hydrogen ionconcentration, on the particular alkylating agent used, and on the dura tion and temperature of reaction. In neutral or acid media probably only the amino hydrogens react since the products generally retain their acid-solubility but do not become organic-sol- An alkaline medium probably permits the reaction to be in part diverted to the alcohol groups since the products gradually become organic-solvent-soluble (see Examples I, II and III). Higher temperatures and longer reaction periods may favor.
reaction with alcohol groups. A few etherifying agents such as chloroacetic acid probably react wholly with amino hydrogen, regardless of conditions. In all cases, I obtain what I believe to be derivatives of deacetylated chitin wherein active hydrogen atoms (i. e. amino hydrogens or hydroxyl hydrogens) are replaced by alkyl radicals, which in turn may or may not contain substituent groups. The products may be considered as typical ethers, or as ammonia system. nitrogen ethers, of deacetylated chitin.
The products prepared by this invention may be formed into films and filaments, alone or in combination with viscose, cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, etc. They may also be molded or used in the formulation of coating, impregnating or adhesive compositions. Many of the products described herein'may be utilized in di flerent fields from those in which the original deacetylated chitin is useful. For example, nearly all are thermoplastic, whereas the original material is not, and they can be readily shaped, as in a mold. The carboxy alkyl ethers in particular are readily compatible with viscose, whereas deacetylated chitin itself, being completely insoluble in alkali, is not.
The above description and examples are intended to be illustrative only. Any modification of or variation therefrom which conforms to the spirit of the invention is intendedto be included within the scope of the claims.
1 I claim:
1. Process of preparing benzyl deacetylated chitin which comprises reacting benzyl chloride with deacetylated chitin in the presence of aqueous sodium hydroxide.
2. Process of preparing benzyl deacetylated chitin which comprises reacting a benzyl halide with deacetylated chitin in the presence of a water soluble strong base.
3. Process of preparing an allnvl deacetylated chitin which comprises reacting an alkylating agent with deacetylated chitin in the presence of a water soluble strong base. 7
4. Process which comprises reacting deacetylated chitin with an etherifying agent of the formula wherein X is a functional group capable of reacting with primary amino hydrogen, n is the valence of X, and R is a monovalent radical se-' lected from the group consisting of alkyl, aralkyl, carboxyalkyl, and hydroxyalkyl radicals.
5. Process which comprises reacting deacetyl ated chitin with an etherifying agent.
6. A benzyl deacetylated chitin.
7. An aralkyl deacetylated chitin.

11. An ether of deacetylated chitin.
12. A derivative of deacetylated chitin wherein an active hydrogen is replaced by the radical of an alcohol. p
13. A derivative of deacetylated chitin wherein an active hydrogen is replaced by a radical of the class consisting of alkyl and substituted alkyl radicals.

Oilers re-sign Horcoff to three-year deal
According to tsn.ca
Shawn Horcoff signed a $10.8-million US, three-year deal with the Edmonton Oilers on Friday, avoiding salary arbitration.
Who's The Most Improved ?
As free agency winds down and teams are starting to shape their rosters for 2006-2007, which Canadian team do you feel will be the most improved over last season?
Leafs sign Jiri Tlusty
According to TSN.CA, they state that the Maple Leafs have signed their 2006 1st round selection.
Its the bottom paragraph
Pecca offered 3 + player option
According Howerd Berger of the Fan 590 – The leafs have offered Michael Peca a 3 year + 1 year player option. A little less money but more tenure. I would expect an announement Monday.
Leafs close to signing Allison
Sportsnet.ca is reporting that the Leafs are very close to resigning Jason Allison for a far lower price than last year. Apparently he really wants to remain in Toronto. On another note, the Edmonton Oilers are making a serious push for the services of Eric Lindros. More to come as it becomes available.
Looks like the Penguins are going nowhere!!!
All three groups competing for the slots license have pledged in writing to contribute to building the Penguins a new arena. No matter who wins the slot license, the Pens win. A great day for Pittsburgh hockey fans, not so great for people in Winnipeg and Hamilton.
Bob Gainey
There is one way to measure the impact thus far Bob has had on the Habs. It should be obvious that under his watch the team has significantly improved. Bob took over the team in may 2003, and has only had 2 working seasons with which to place his mark. One only has to look at what he inherited compared to what he has today.
Maple Leafs 2006/2007 Schedule
Complete Toronto Maple Leafs 2006/2007 Schedule
Is more offense what you ordered??
First of all… Hal Gill was a very good signing by JFJ @ 2 mil. Take Jay McKee on Buffalo for example, he was one of the best defensive D-men in the league last season (although he did lead the league in blocked shots) here are his numbers while playing on the top seeded Sabres last season.
Taking Stock : Part 2
Bob Gainey once again pulled some major moves that none of the rumour mongers were expecting at all. The team's made significant upgrades in order to keep with the North East arms race. The first saw Richard Zednik dealt to Washington for a pick, another pick sent to Phoenix for Mike Johnson; and most importantly, the signing of Sergei Samsonov to a 2yr, 7.05M contract. The two time All-Star and former Calder Trophy winner is being counted on in Gainey's words to play alongside fellow Russian Alex Kovalev. But who will be centring this fearsome duo?

Reader's groundhog story ' interesting and remarkable'
GROUNDHOG DAY has come and gone for 2012, and by now we are well headed toward the first day of spring. Of all the groundhog stories I have heard, none have been quite like this.
A Newport reader wrote: "As a follower of your articles and a listener to your radio show in the 40's and 50's, we have shared mutual friends such as State Police Officer Chester Hartwell, and R.N.
Johnson. You spoke at Jack's 75th Anniversary of his being in business in Walpole, NH."
(Chet Hartwell was an excellent member of the NH State Police for many years. The last I knew, he was well into his nineties, a reader of this column, and had retired in Vermont. From 1943-1966 I was Radio Farm Program Director for radio station WKNE, Keene, doing a daily farm program from my farm. During those years, Ralph N. "Jack" Johnson sponsored those programs. Jack's John Deere farm machinery business is now headed by his grandson, Allan Johnson).
Our Newport reader continued: "I would like to submit a story about Mr. Groundhog.
On February 2, in the mid'50's, I was driving a 1949 - 650 Brockway low-bed, owned by Carmen & Porter of Alstead.
On a trip from Alstead to Bridgewater, Vermont, to pick up heavy equipment, after going past Drewsvill store, on my right at the next farm I glanced out the large and low window and behold was there Mr. Groundhog sitting up as proud as a peacock.
"Thought you might be interested in this story as I haven't met many people who have seen 'Mr. Phil' on his special day in 77 years on this planet."
I must confess, in all my 90 years, I have never heard of a woodchuck ever leaving his winter abode in New Hampshire as early as Feb. 2.
An interesting and remarkable story, indeed.
As a "city" kid, educated from fifth grade on, in private schools, (Tilton and Vermont Academy) my first contact with a woodchuck came in the late 1930s. A Vermont farmer not wanting any harm to come to it, brought a baby woodchuck to our Mr. Mark Emerson, biology teacher at Vermont Academy. Since I was taking care of the animals in the laboratory, the little one was turned over to me to care for. At the time the baby chuck had not opened its eyes and his only interest was eating without biting. I began by feeding it milk from a teaspoon. The young chuck quickly learned how to grab the spoon with both front paws and slurp down the milk. It was a messy process, but effective. It wasn't long before it opened its eyes and then was able to drink from a small saucer. Its first solid food was lettuce leaves donate by the school's chef.
When school was out in June, I took the little fellow, nicknamed "Chucky," to my then home at Grandfather Cole's house. I was not sure if Gramp, having retired from farming over ten years before, would appreciate my doing so, but, thankfully, he and the young chuck took to each other right off. It was not long before a blossoming friendship developed. I learned that woodchucks were very clean and "naturally" housebroken.
Gramp fixed up a "cat" box and it was always utilized when Chucky was indoors.
All that summer I was busy with baseball or bird watching or some other distraction and Chucky "imprinted" on Gramp. Indoors or out the developing woodchuck followed Gramp around wherever he went. He trailed along behind when Gramp mowed his lawn and even while hoeing in the garden.
Chucky quickly learned early on to keep out from under foot. This was especially necessary as Gramp always hoed his garden backwards.
He liked the looks of a wellhoed garden as hoeing in that manner showed no footprints.
Gramp would frequently note that weed seeds took longer to germinate by not being pressed into a solid contact with the soil. Chucky did nibble on a few vegetable plants but he was never complained of as his garden snacks were just "tastings" so's to speak.
Gramp made sure that Chucky had plenty to eat at regular mealtimes.
Late that fall, Chucky disappeared one day. He had always come to us when called, but not this time. We guessed he had decided it was time to dig a hole and go to sleep for the winter. We hoped to see him again in the Spring. Unfortunately, that was not to be.
A Candia reader wrote on Jan. 15: "I wanted to tell you that Red-bellied Woodpeckers (a male and a female) have showed up at my feeder for the frst time this year.
"Also, it was a good year for Bluebirds and they have kept coming back almost daily. A pair were at an old untended nest box this morning! It was 30/F at the time (10 a.m.) and low here in Candia was -8/F.
It appeared that the male was coaxing the female out of the nest box which I can only imagine was filled with old wasps nests, cobwebs, grass, etc. There are two others that the bluebirds and swallows nest in and a third new box.
The one they were hanging out at had not been used by any species for a year. Perhaps it was better with years of clutter inside."

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Miami Dolphins linebacker Kevin Burnett is sidelined by a foot injury, raising doubts about his availability for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Burnett was added to the injury report Thursday, when he did not practice. He missed much of training camp with a back injury but started the Dolphins' first two games. Reserve defensive tackle Tony McDaniel (knee) and receiver Marlon Moore (hamstring) also sat out practice. Starting cornerback Richard Marshall (back) and reserve receiver Anthony Armstrong (hamstring) were limited. Backup running back Daniel Thomas has practiced fully the past two days after missing Sunday's win over Oakland with a concussion.

thought was condom
Silly boy, Mari doesn't use condoms. When you sleep with her you catch every single STD known to man.
this is basically what I'd do
One of the top ten uses for Mari.
>Implying that she wouldn't get a raging erection from this
>>5044If one of them isnt stuffing her in a barrel of concrete and dropping in the ocean, then Im not interested
did you ever have a chick say 'you can do whatever you want with me' to you - so you threw her out of the window and then jerked off while you were waiting for the ambulance to arrive?
Did you ever have a chick say 'I'll do anything you want, anything at all" - so you say "Make me a sandwich, woman!"
Did you ever have a chick actually talk to you. I mean other than to sneer in disgust... doubt it
I'd say to her "be like my mother - but also have sex with me".

Jim and Pam are back from their honeymoon, and the first thing Michael does is tell Jim he's dating Pam's mom. After getting over the initial skepticism and horror, Jim tells Michael to keep it quiet and end it immediately. But Michael can't do the first part, let alone the second, and when Pam finds out, she has a total "Luke, I am your father" moment. Actually, that's pretty much her whole day, as she proceeds to lose her entire freaking mind over this. And you can imagine Jim's discomfort, as he's caught between his new wife and his new co-boss in what turns into some pretty ugly arguing. So he's in no mood whatsoever to put up with Dwight's weak attempt to bug his office. After playing Dwight for a disappointingly short period of time, Jim punishes him by making him wash their car, which cheers Pam up quite a bit. But Jim doesn't know that there's been a real listening device in there all along, capturing all his boring sales conversations. Diabolical.
Discuss this episode in our forums, then see why, despite their occasionaly terribleness, Jim and Pam are perfect for each other. And check back soon for the full weecap!
Jim and Pam are back from Puerto Rico, and there's the expected overinvested reaction from everyone to their return. They do a joint talking-head about Frank and Benny, another couple they met on vacation. They tell us that it always makes them laugh to say "Frank and Beans!" in a funny voice. That's going to be put to the test, I'll tell you right now.
Michael comes out of his office wearing sunglasses, pretending to be blind. Jim and Pam play along patiently, but only because Michael doesn't push it too far by groping Pam's boobs. He just gropes Jim's. He THs in his office about his new improv character, "Blind Guy McSqueezy." Apparently the women in the class hate him. I think that makes Michael Andy Kaufman.
Meredith asks Pam what she brought them, and isn't satisfied with candy. "Oh, because you spent so much on the wedding," Meredith snarks. "It's good to be home," Pam tells us.
Dwight comes to visit Jim's office, first to bitch about Jim leaving a pen on his desk and to stick it in Jim's pen holder, but really to present Jim with a peace offering: a wooden duck decoy. Actually it's a mallard, as Dwight will be correcting people throughout the episode, but I'm just going to take care of that right now and you can just assume it happens at every opportunity for the rest of the half hour. Dwight lets us in on a little secret: there's a "listening device" stuck in the bottom of the mallard. It's a baby monitor, actually. He sets it on Jim's desk, apologizing for "bugging" him all these years.
Pam tries to place her container of Puerto Rican candy on the reception desk, but Erin won't accept it before checking with Michael.
In the kitchen, Michael breaks some news to Jim about how he's taken a lover. Pam's mom, of course. So that's still going on, apparently. "From the wedding?" Michael reminds Jim, as though he doesn't know who his mother-in-law is. Jim thinks Michael's messing with him, until Michael tells him what kind of car she drives (with seats that go all the way down), and Jim lets out a bleep/blurred curse. He's horrified, obviously. "First of all, never tell Pam," he says. But he never gets to the second item before Michael says it may come out when they tell Pam that night over dinner. Poor Toby happens to come in at the wrong time and gets yelled at by both of them. "What'd I do?" he mutters to himself, exiting with his tail even further between his legs than usual. Jim tells Michael to cancel dinner and never see Pam's mom again. Michael thinks Pam wants him to be happy more than anything. "Not more than anything," Jim insists. But Michael gives in. "Okay so we're good," Jim says, walking stiffly out. As though it's ever that easy.
