I refuse to write the prosecutor's name in this blog. He is a waste of characters. Last night the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri failed to indict the officer (I will not mention his name either) who killed Michael Brown on any of the possible five charges. After 100 days the 12 men and women who composed this grand jury added Michael Brown's blood to the long litany of Black men in America who have been either lynched or murdered from America's sea to shining sea.
The action of this grand jury has inducted Michael Brown into a fatal fraternity where he joins Trayvon Martin, Sean Bell and Kimani Gray and countless other unnamed black teens who have been gunned down by police and had their dreams drowned in a pool of blood while their killers have walked free in the name of an American criminal justice system that strongly skewers justice to favor the majority culture of this country!
Simply put, my brother Michael Brown was murdered. 12 rounds of bullets fired at one person by an out of control gun wielding police officer whose actions have been sanctioned by an American criminal justice system that places no premium value on the lives of Black men.
I have read what has been made available of the grand jury report. To say that it is conflicting is a mild understatement of the facts. However, in Mr. Brown's murderer's testimony we have a great and grave insight into how too many white police officers view young black men. Brown's killer testified, "Michael Brown looked 'like a demon.'" Black men are demonized from coast to coast from the Catskills of New York to the curves of the Carolinas to the rugged roads of the New South which has returned to the Old South to the maddening Midwest across a turbulent Texas to the coasts of California and many places in between.
The unindicted officer continues his testimony by saying, "When I grabbed him, the only way I can describe it is I felt like a five-year-old holding Hulk Hogan." So he goes from demonizing Michael Brown to seeing him as a fictional character. Between "like a demon" and "Hulk Hogan" we have the lens through which a lot of white America sees young black men which explains why over 60% of white America said before the verdict that there shouldn't be an indictment.
Both of the aforementioned labels scream, "We devalue black life in America." When you see a person as a demon or a character, then you don't see them as a person at all. You simply see an animal. You see something that needs to be killed. You see a "something" instead of a person and when we dehumanize each other bad things happen. The bad things that usually happen are sanctioned by a criminal justice system that gives policemen a green light to gun down young black men without having to worry about any repercussions because the law protects them under the cover of "justified shooting." To say that this system is broken is a gross understatement of the facts.
Young black men are an endangered species in America and the law allows police to hunt them like wild animals. Studies show that black teens are 21 times more likely to be shot dead than their white counterparts.
One source, in a report called "Operation Ghetto Storm" says that in 2012 that of the 739 "Justified" shootings from 2012, 313 of them were Black. 44% of them or 136, were unarmed. 27% of them (83) were claimed by Law Enforcement to have a gun at the time of the shooting, but that could not be later confirmed or the "gun" was in fact, a toy or other non-lethal object. 20% of them (62) were confirmed to have been armed with a gun, knife or cutting tool.
I invite you to look at the chart at the top of this blog and then allow it to tell you the horrific story of the disproportionate killing of Black men in this country in just FIVE American cities.
I went around the barn just to tell you that much of this madness is driven by racism. The American criminal justice system is racist. Police departments are filled with racists. Both the criminal justice system and the police department are in bed with each other and have taken an unspoken sworn oath to murder "the demons" and "the Hulk Hogans." They cover for each other. They stand united in their efforts to legally "kill" my black brothers.
If we don't break up the marriage between the criminal justice system and the police department, then we are going to see a repeat of Ferguson over and over again. The next Michael Brown is on deck and police are ready to see him as a "demon" and "Hulk Hogan" and we will see a repeat of this vicious cycle.
Remember in the 60s when the world saw policemen spray protesters with water-hoses? Well, the policemen's guns are the new water-hoses. The police chiefs are the new "Bull" Conners. The District Attorneys are the new George Wallaces. The only thing that has changed relative to justice is the date on the calendar because the ideology has been frozen in time and it is conveniently unthawed at "their" appropriate time of need. That ideology says that black lives don't matter and especially the lives of young black men.
By refusing to indict Michael Brown's murderer, America has once again indicted herself before the world. My good friend Christel Beelen writes from Belgium, "The whole world is in shock. These are sad times for justice. No justice, no peace."
America keeps writing her black citizens bad checks. America tells us to vote but then America suppresses our vote. America tells us to get a job but America discriminates against us when we apply for jobs. America tells us to go to college but America puts up admission hurdles. America tells us that justice is colorblind but America strongly skewers justice away from the black, brown, yellow and red. America invites us to dream and then works overtime to turn our dreams into a nightmare.
No matter how much progress that we make in racial relations in America it is a steep climb up a monstrous and unforgiving mountain. Nelson Mandela had it right when he said in Long Walk to Freedom, "After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb." We have many more hills to climb to reach racial reconciliation in America. The gap is great. The divide is wide. The differences are vast. Mandela goes on to say, "To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity."
So where do we go from here? While I don't in any way support the Ferguson riots, I understand the rage. Yet, this rage must be turned into a righteous plan. A plan to register voters. A plan to then vote. A plan to oust the District Attorney. A plan to oust the police chief. A plan to take control of the city council. A plan to take control of the school board. Ferguson cannot and Ferguson must not return to the way life was before the murder of Michael Brown. #changeFORWARD
For Ferguson to change forward it will not be easy.
I want to close this blog by allowing two giants to speak from their graves. First, we will hear from the immortal Nelson Mandela.
"There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires."
A final word from my favorite Civil and Human Rights activist Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. who wrote in 1967 in his book Black Power: A Form of Godly Power: "Unless man is committed to the belief that all mankind are his brothers, then he labors in vain and hypocritically in the vineyards of equality."

Hope you can help. In my ASP.net MVC3 app, all my controllers descend from a customized controller I have created.
Upon FormsAuthentication time out, my app correctly redirects users to the login page if they attempt to access any page (standard functionality).
However, for Ajax.ActionLink and Ajax.BeginForm calls, they just return nothing, which confuses users if the browser is left open for more than 20 minutes and then they try to access an Ajax link.
Is there any code I can put in to my base controller that will work generically so that when it detects an inbound Ajax call and we have timed-out, it will redirect users to my login page as expected?
I don't mind if it doesn't return to the original page afterwards - happy for it to just go to the Home Index page.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Enzyme granules, particularly for detergent compositions, are prepared having a granule core of solid material carrying an enzyme and a solid coating of plasticized resin free of the enzyme. The plasticized resin can be dextrin or sodium lignosulphonate containing a plasticizer such as glucose, sucrose urea, glycerol or ethylene glycol. The granules are made by spraying the enzyme-containing core with a concentrated aqueous solution of the plasticized resin.
1. An enzyme granule comprising a granule core of solid material carrying an enzyme, said granule having around it a continuous, non-tacky solid coating of plasticised resin substantially free of the enzyme, the resin being selected from the group consisting of dextrin and alkali metal liguosulphonate and having at 20� C and at a neutral pH, a solubility in water of at least 50% by weight, and a 50% aqueous solution of the resin at 20� C having a viscosity of from 0.1 to 25 poises.
2. A granule according to claim 1, in which the plasticised resin comprises dextrin and an effective amount of glucose, sucrose, urea, glycerol or ethylene glycol to plasticise the dextrin.
3. A granule according to claim 1, in which the plasticised resin comprises sodium lignosulphonate and an effective amount of glucose, sucrose, urea, glycerol, ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol monoethyl ether to plasticise the sodium lignosulphonate.
4. A granule according to claim 1, in which the plasticised resin is a mixture of from 10 to 90% dextrin and from 90 to 10% sodium lignosulphonate by weight.
5. A granule according to claim 1, in which the carrier material comprises a detergency builder.
6. A granule according to claim 5, in which the detergency builder is sodium tripolyphosphate.
7. A granule according to claim 5, in which the granule core contains as binder a nonionic detergent-active ethylene oxide condensate.
8. A granule according to claim 5, in which the enzyme is a hydrolase.
9. A process for preparing a granule as claimed in claim 1, comprising contacting a granule core of solid material carrying an enzyme with an aqueous solution of the plasticised resin and removing any excess water by drying until a continuous film of solid plasticised resin is formed around the granule core.
10. A process according to claim 9, in which the granule core is contacted by spraying with an aqueous solution containing an amount of the plasticised resin corresponding to a viscosity at the temperature of spray formation of from 0.5 to 20 poises.
11. A process according to claim 10, in which during the formation of the coating the core is contacted with a finely-divided inert anhydrous inorganic material.
This invention relates to enzyme-containing granules, to processes for preparing them, and to detergent compositions containing them.
Numerous methods have been proposed for incorporating enzymes into detergent compositions, including the provision of the enzyme in granular form in order to avoid the presence of fine particles in the dry composition, and the encapsulation of the granules to protect the enzyme from decomposition. British Pat. No. 1,237,899 describes the improvement of storage stability of granules containing an enzyme and a detergency builder salt, by providing them with a coating of a material which is sufficiently soluble or dispersible in tap water at 20� C, and gives as examples of suitable coating material "non-ionics" and film-forming agents such as shellac. However, both nonionic detergent-active compounds and shellac have disadvantages. Thus nonionic detergent-active compounds are not suitable for use as coating for porous granules because they are either liquid materials which will not give solid coatings, or where they are solid substances there are difficulties in producing continuous cohesive coatings with them without the use of organic solvents. Shellac is only soluble in water under alkaline conditions, so that formation of a coating with it in practice requires the use of an organic solvent because a high pH is unacceptable. The present invention concerns the use of a coating material which can be applied by spraying from aqueous solution at neutral pH without the use of organic solvents, and which readily dissolves in water to release the enzyme when required.
According to the invention, an enzyme granule comprises a granule core of solid material carrying an enzyme, and a solid coating of plasticised resin substantially free of the enzyme, the resin having at 20� C and neutral pH a solubility in water of at least 50% by weight, and a 50% aqueous solution of the resin at 20� C having a viscosity of from 0.1 to 25 poises.
Preferably there is used a resin whose 50% aqueous solution at 20� has a viscosity of from 1 to 15, and especially from 5 to 12 poises, as these are the most easy to use to form the coating by a spraying technique without using large amounts of water which then having to be removed by drying, perhaps with repeated application in order to build up a coating of sufficient thickness.
Particularly suitable as resins for the coating are dextrins and alkali metal lignosulphonates having the physical properties defined above. A suitable dextrin is yellow dextrin, also known as canary dextrin, especially one whose 50% aqueous solution have a viscosity at 20� C of 7 poises. White dextrins having the required properties can also be used. Dextrins are described in Skeist, Handbook of Adhesives (Reinhold, 1962). Dextrins are commonly used as binders for agglomerated particles and have been proposed as such in making enzyme granules, for instance as in U.S. Pat. No. 3,650,967. Alkali metal lignosulphonates can be potassium, but are preferably sodium lignosulphonates. Suc materials are described in Brauns and Branuns, The Chemistry of Lignin (Academic Press, 1960).
Neither dextrin nor an alkali metal lignosulphonate can be used effectively without a plasticiser. A wide variety of compounds can be used as plasticisers for the resin, but it is necessary to choose a plasticiser and the amount in which it is to be used in relation to the particular resin chosen by carrying out a simple test. In tis test a glass slide is dipped into a concentrated aqueous solution of the resin and plasticiser compound to be tested and allowed to dry in air at ambient temperature. If after 2 weeks the resinous film shows no cracks or faults and the film is dry to the touch, the plasticiser is suitable for use with the resin in the proportion employed. By "plasticised resin" accordingly is meant the resin with plasticiser incorporated in it such that it meets this test requirement to provide a durable continuous non-tacky surface film.
Suitable plasticiser compounds for use with dextrin as resin are glucose, sucrose, glycerol, ethylene glycol and urea. Examples of plasticiser compounds which can be used with sodium lignosulphonates are glucose, sucrose, glycerol, ethylene glycol, urea and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether. While neither dextrin nor sodium lignosulphonate are satisfactory by themselves, mixtures of them, for instance containing from 10 to 90% dextrin and 90 to 10% sodium lignosulphonate by weight, can be employed, when the one acts as plasticiser for the other. In generral the amount of plasticiser compound will be from 5 to 60% by weight of the plasticised resin. Some suitable ranges of resin-plasticiser compositions that can be used for the coating of plasticised resin are given in the following table.
______________________________________ Plasticiser inResin Plasticiser plasticised resin %______________________________________ Glucose 35 - 60Yellow dextrin Sucrose 15 - 60 Urea 10 - 50 Glucose 10 - 35Sodium lignosulphate Sucrose 20 - 60 Urea 10 - 50______________________________________
A coating can contain finely-divided inert anhydrous inorganic material either dispersed through it or in a layer between two layers of coating. The coating can also contain water residual from an aqueous solution from which it has been applied, for instance up to 5% by weight.
The granule core of solid material can be any enzyme granule, for instance one of those well-known in the art of detergent compositions containing enzyme granules. The carrier material of the core will be of solid non-friable substance suitable for carrying the enzyme, for instance a water-soluble substance which can have detergent or detergency builder properties. Thus it can be a solid water-soluble inorganic salt, especially a detergency builder salt. Examples of suitable inorganic salts are sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium orthophosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium tetraborate, sodium perborate, and sodium sulphate. Potassium salts can also be used. Non-builder salts such as sodium chloride can also be employed. Preferably the carrier material of the core is sodium tripolyphosphate.
The enzyme carried on the granular core material can be any which it is desired to put into granular form. While this invention is described with particular reference to detergent compositions, the enzyme can be one whose practical use is intended to be other than as a detergent. It can for example be an oxidoreductase, transferase, desmolase or isomerase, and for detergent compositions a hydrolase is particularly useful. The most common classes of hydrolase are proteases, which degrade protein-containing soils; esterases, which degrade lipid-containing soils such as sebum; carbohydrases, for instance amylase, which degrade carbohydrates; and nucleases, which degrade nucleic acids present in skin residues. A typical protease used in detergent compositions is the subtilisin enzyme from bacillus subtilis. Many suitable proteases are available commercially, usually in fine powder form, the powder containing from 2 to 80% of active enzyme and inert diluent such as starch, sodium sulphate, calcium sulphate or sodium chloride, but sometimes in liquid form, for instance as a slurry. Other enzymes that can be used are described in Barman, Enzyme Handbook, Volumes I and II (Springer Verlag, 1969).
The granule core preferably contains a cohesive organic material as binder, the material either melting or dissolving in water at the temperature of use of the granule in order to release the enzyme. Examples of suitable cohesive organic materials are fatty acids containing from 8 to 30 carbon atoms, for instance lauric, palmitic and stearic acids, and fatty acids, coconut oil and tallow; fatty alcohols containing from 12 to 30 carbon atoms, for instance lauryl alcohol and the fatty alcohol derived from tallow; and monoglycerides and diglycerides, for instance 1-monostearin, 1,3-distearin, 1-monopalmitin and 1,3-dimyristin. Preferably the cohesive organic material is a nonionic detergent-active compound, particularly one which has a melting point within the range from 0� to 30� C, especially 15� to 25� C. Suitable nonionic detergent-active compounds are condensates of ethylene oxide with organic compounds having reactive hydrogen atoms, for instance a fatty acid of 8 to 18 carbon atoms, a fatty alcohol of from 8 to 24 carbon atoms, or an alkyl phenol whose alkyl group has from 5 to 18 carbon atoms, using from 5 to 50 mols ethylene oxide per mol of reactive hydrogen-containing compound. A nonionic detergent-active compound prepared by condensation of 9 mols ethylene oxide with 1 mol of a mixture of C11 to C15 secondary alkanols is particularly suitable.
The granule core can have a layer of cohesive organic material around its surface, or the solid material carrying the enzyme can be agglomerated with the cohesive organic material to form the core. Where cohesive organic material is present in a granule core it will usually provide from 2 to 50% by weight of the granule core. The amount of enzyme present in the granule core will be chosen according to the activity of the enzyme concentrate available.
The size of an individual granule core will generally be within the range of from 0.05 to 4 mm average diameter, and more often from 0.3 to 1.2 mm.
An effective amount of the plasticised resin coating can be from 2 to 50% of plasticised resin by weight of the granule, but the minimum amount required to give a worthwhile improvement can be even less, perhaps as little as 1% or even 1/2% where a granule has already been coated with other substances, for instance a nonionic detergent-active compound. Preferably the amount of plasticised resin coating is from 3 to 40%, and especially from 7 to 20%, by weight of the granule.
The preparation of a granule core cann be carried out by conventional methods. Thus, an enzyme slurry containing cohesive organic material as binder can be sprayed on to granulated sodium tripolyphosphate in a mixer, or an enzyme powder can be mixed with the sodium tripolyphosphate and a concentrated solution of cohesive organic material sprayed on to it and the resulting mass extruded and formed into noodles.
The invention includes a process for preparing an enzyme granule as described above, which comprises contacting the granule core with an aqueous solution of the plasticised resin, and if necessary removing excess water, until a continuous film of solid plasticised resin is formed around the granule core. A mass of granular cores can be sprayed while it is continuously moved in a mixer.
Preferably the granule cores are sprayed with an aqueous solution containing an amount of the plasticised resin corresponding to a viscosity at the temperature of spray-formation of from 0.05 to 20, and preferably from 0.5 to 10 poises. In practice the solutiion contains not more than 50% by weight of water. Preferably the aqueous solution also contains a minor amount, for instance from 1 to 10% by weight, of a nonionic detergent-active compound such as those described above as cohesive organic materials, in order to assist the formation of spray. During the formation of the coating, the core is preferably contacted with a finely-divided inert anhydrous inorganic material, for instance silica or talc, in order to thicken the coating as it is formed: an effective amount will usually be no greater than the amount of plasticised resin employed. For this purpose the finely-divided inorganic material can be added simultaneously with spraying or during an interruption in the spraying step. The contacted granule core in some instances requires no positive step of drying either because sufficient water evaporates during the contacting process or is absorbed into the core, but if necessary to form a sufficiently dry coating, excess water is removed by drying, for instance in an air current with the granules in a state of motion of prevent adhesion.
The coating step can be carried out in a Lodige mixer, a pan coater, a drum granulator, or a smooth vertical cylinder having a rotating roughened base plate.
The invention also includes a solid detergent composition comprising enzyme granules as described above, where the enzyme is a hydrolase, and a detergent-active compound external to the granules. Such detergent compositions include fabric-washing compositions for use in pre-wash soak media and in a washing process. Examples of detergent compositions of the invention are those of British Pat. No. 1,204,123 or any of the conventional enzyme granule detergent compositions, whose enzyme granules are replaced by the coated enzyme granules of this invention. The detergent-active compound external to the granules can be anionic, nonionic, amphoteric or zwitterionic in character, and can be present with a detergency builder and other conventional detergent ingredients, for instance lather boosters, bleaching agents, antiredeposition agents, perfumes, fluorescers and colourants. Typical detergent-active compounds, builders and detergent compositions are described in Schwartz and Perry, Surface Active Agents, Volume I, (Interscience 1949), and Schwartz, Perry and Berch, Surface Active Agents and Detergents, Volume II (Interscience 1958). To prepare such detergent compositions, the enzyme granules of the invention can simply be mixed with a free-flowing detergent powder in the proportion required, usually from 1 to 25% by weight of the total composition.
The invention is illustrated by the following Examples, in which amounts are by weight and temperatures are in � C. The yellow dextrin employed is a dextrin giving in 50% aqueous solution a liquid of viscosity 7 poises at 20�. The sodium lignosulphonate is one obtained by te sulphonation of lignin to introduce 4 sulphonic acid groups per lignin unit and subsequent neutralisation with caustic soda, and giving in 50% aqueous solution a liquid of viscosity 9 poises at 20�. The aqueous plasticised resin solutions used for coating granule cores have in each instance a viscosity within the range of 0.5 to 10 poises during spray formation.
An enzyme slurry consisting of protease from bacillus subtilis with inorganic salts dispersed in a liquid condensate of 9 mols of ethylene oxide with 1 mol of a mixture of C11, C13 annd C15 secondary alkanols (the slurry having a nominal enzyme activity of 1400 glycine units per mg or 1.9 Anson units per g) was atomised into non-friable porous granular sodium tripolyphosphate (of particles retained on a sieve of mesh diameter 0.5 mm and passing a sieve of mesh diameter 1.2 mm) at 30�-40� agitated in a Lodige mixer (a mixer having a drum with axially-rotated blades).
On to the granule cores thus produced was atomised an aqueous solution containing 45.5% yellow dextrin and 13.6% glucose, with continued agitation. The resulting granules were then dried for 20 minutes in a fluidised bed with air at 40�.
A detergent composition was prepared by mixing 5 parts of the granules with 95 parts of a detergent powder containing the following ingredients.
______________________________________Sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate 14Sodium soap (a mixture of sodium saltsof the fatty acids of tallow and 1coconut oil in proportion 80:20)Anhydrous alkaline sodium silicate 7(Na2 O:SiO2 ratio 1:2)Coconut monoethanolamide 1Sodium tripolyphosphate 27.5Sodium sulphate 6.5Sodium carboxymethylcellulose 0.5Sodium perborate 25Water (with perfume and fluorescer) 18.5______________________________________
A 30g sample of detergent composition was elutriated for 10 minutes in a constant stream of air at a velocity of 0.3 metres per second, the air being exhausted through a fibreglass filter upon which all elutriated material was collected. The collected material was analysed for enzyme activity and the total enzyme loss from the sample thus determined.
Enzyme granules were prepared using different amounts of ingredients as given in the table below and detergent compositions prepared from them tested with the results given.
______________________________________Example No. 1 2 3______________________________________Granular sodium tripolyphosphate 81 83 81.5Enzyme slurry 10.1 10.3 8.2Aqueous solution of resin andplasticiser 15.1 11.8 21.2Amount of coating in granule % 9 7 12Elutriated enzyme in glycine units 180 500 250______________________________________
The average loss of enzyme from conventional enzyme granules in a similar detergent composition when subjected to the above test is 800-1000 glycine units.
Enzyme granules were prepared as in Examples 1 to 3, except that the aqueous solution of yellow dextrin and glucose also contained 0.8 and 0.9%, respectively, of the same ethylene oxide-alkanol condensate that was present in the enzyme slurry, and no positive drying step was used; and detergent compositions were prepared and tested as before, with the following results.

Enzyme granules were prepared as in Examples 1 to 3, except that the aqueous solution of resin and plasticiser was applied in two steps, and between these steps the partially-coated granule cores were contacted in the Lodige mixer with particles of a finely-divided alumina-silica powder obtained by the neutralisation of aqueous sodium silicate with aluminium chloride and having a ratio of SiO2 :Al2 O3 :Na2 O of 30:2:1 and a particle size passing a sieve of mesh 50μ and no positive drying step was used: detergent compositions were prepared and tested as before, with the following results.

Granule cores were prepared as in Example 1 and given a preliminary coating by atomising on to them in the Lodige mixer a solution of anhydrous citric acid in the same ethylene oxide condensate as was present in the slurry (the solution containing 20% citric acid). The resulting granule cores were placed on a rough disc revolving at 350 rpm within stationary smooth vertical cylindrical walls and an aqueous solution containing 45.5% yellow dextrin and 13.6% glucose and also particles of the finely divided silica alumina composition of Examples 6 and 7 were slowly and simultaneously added to the cores. The granules produced were dried for 20 minutes in a fluidised bed with air at 40�.
A detergent composition was prepared by mixing 5 parts of the granules with 95 parts of the same detergent powder as in Examples 1 to 3 and subjected to the elutriation test.
A similar composition was prepared in which the glucose was replaced by urea.
The amounts of ingredients and results were as follows:
______________________________________Example No. 8 9______________________________________Granular sodium tripolyphosphate 71 71Enzyme slurry 9.4 9.4Solution of citric acid in ethylene oxidecondensate 6.1 6.1Aqueous solution of resin and plasticiser 9.7 9.7Silica alumina 7.8 7.8Amount of coating in granule % 14 14Elutriated enzyme in glycine units 0 10______________________________________
Enzyme-carrying granule cores were prepared by extruding a plastic mass of a commercial protease concentrate derived from bacillus subtilis, sodium chloride, dextrin and water, through a metal screen to give noodles of 700μ diameter. The noodles were dropped on to a revolving rough disc to form spherical particles which are transferred to a fluidised bed drier where they were dried at 40�-60�. The dry granule cores were given a preliminary coating of nonionic detergent-active compound by a step similar to that described in Examples 8 9.
Granular cores prepared in this way were placed in a bed and fluidised with air at 60� and an aqueous solution of 45% yellow dextrin and 13.6% glucose in an amount which was 12% of the granular cores was atomised through a nozzle projecting into the fluidised bed to give granules having a coating of the dried plasticised resin. The granules (7% of which was coating) were than used to prepared detergent composition as in Examples 1 to 3.
Granules are prepared by processes similar to those of preceding Examples, but using as plasticiser in the aqueous solution of resin and plasticiser, instead of glucose, the compounds indicated and in the amounts given, the remainder of the compositions and the procedure being as given in the Examples indicated.

I love going to The Mansion. The food is delicious and the atmosphere makes me feel very comfortable. The boss ,managers, employees everyone is so polite. No other restaurant can compare to The Mansion. Its a great place to sit back relax and enjoy a good meal.

my roommate and i go here often, and the food is fine. nothing spectacular, just good solid diner food. i just ordered delivery. the turkey burger wasn't cooked through, and the side was wrong. wasn't too happy.
Posted by TexMex chic on 10/21/2007
Receiving another cold burger and fries has compelled me to write this review. I have ordered or dined in at the Mansion at least once a week since 1995, except during vacations and holidays. Their good, well-priced comfort food kept drawing me back, from their burgers and salads, to their brunch food and chicken soups, and has allowed me to nurse many a cold and host many a brunch date. I love their host and wait staff, and see them as long standbys in the neighborhood. When they shut down for renovations, I felt deprived and looked forward to their return as a staple in the area (and in my diet). Their food is still of the same quality, and I'm glad they've returned. The prices are considerably higher, with some items 20-30% higher, but I assumed this would happen when I learned the place would be upgraded, and it seems inevitable that the best deal in the area wouldn't remain so. But the re-opening has presented new challenges, namely of finding a way to enjoy the food while it's still hot in a decent setting. The restaurant looks nicer, but it is really noisy, unlike before. I dined in a few times and decided to relegate my former fave to a delivery vendor. This is an even worse option. I've ordered eggs at 9 am on a weekend, burgers at dinnertime, and now burgers again at 10:30. I've ordered from them at least a half dozen times in the last 3 months. The food has arrived colder than lukewarm, nearly dead cold. Given the long waiting time (45 minutes for a 3-block delivery), I would guess their staff is delivery too many orders at once. They've delivered cold eggs to me a few times over the years, but not every single time and only during prime brunch hours. These days, I prefer the wordless efficiency and $6 breakfast specials at Jackson Hole (91st/Madison) and the expensive but perfect egg plates at the Barking Dog. I still recommend the Mansion but with big reservations -- I want them to tweak some things and bring back my fave!

...than it was before the former owner/operator took it back. I can only speak to breakfast and the delivery service: they consistently have delicious home fries that are reason alone to order there. Delivery is snappy. Also, and in greatest contrast to afore, if there is even a suggestion of a mistake, they will graciously make it right.

Little is left of my "Town", The "Mansion" part of my life from way back when... Food is great, prices are too cheap. How ya doin Phil!

I am on a very strict diet and was worried about eating greasy diner food. However, this restaurant accomodated my every request. The mediterranean omelette made with egg whites, red peppers and zucchini, was absolutely delicious with a side of fresh fruit. Not greasy at all.
Posted by Anonymous on 06/24/2007
I've only eaten here after 10:30 p.m., so I haven't had to contend with a packed restaurant as another reviewer mentioned. I've only ordered basic diner fare- haven't tried any dinner entrees yet. It's a test based on the belief that if the cook can't get eggs or a burger right then the roast chicken/salmon filet will be a disaster. Anyways, the basics have been terrific so far. You can tell that whoever prepared the dish cares and pays attention to detail. It's such a relief to have a diner close by with a cook that takes pride in his work. I hope Mansion keeps up this standard.

"Fond memories of office spaces"
My first faculty office at CLU was a small closet (no windows) in the Benson House. When I became the director of the Counseling and Guidance Program I was "upgraded" to an office that was constructed by an employee's son. The floor was on a slant and if I had dropped a pen or pencil I had to chase it before it rolled away. Small lizards frequently visited through the small holes beneath the door and window.
Despite these conditions, I have fond memories of sitting around the kitchen table where faculty meetings both formal and informal, were held. Working in a house supported the feelings of family among the faculty and staff. This atmosphere was readily felt by our students who often reported that they were well cared for.
I guess I too felt lucky- at least I wasn't assigned to the bathroom upstairs! Nowadays, I am located in the beautifully modern Ed. Tech building- but some days I miss the Benson House.

Hey! My name is Trevor Cunningham I was raised by Karen Cunningham (née: Karen Lynn Wincher) whose mom Melba, my great grandma, was Ellsworth's niece I believe.. ( maybe someone on here can correct me). My nana (Melba Wincher; I forget her maiden name) is the last surviving of her siblings. She is in her 90's and is in the hospital right now, so as I'm praying for her I've become interested in her side of the family, and I started reading the Statler biography. Anyways I thought I'd post this to just let the family know we live in San Diego and basically I just wanted to say what's up! So hey! What's up?

I have an existing algorithm and I need to optimize it sligtly if it is possible. Changing a lot in this algorithm is not an option at the moment. The algoritm works with instance of
std::vector< std::vector<unsigned char> >. It looks like this:
typedef std::vector<unsigned char> internal_vector_t;
std::vector< internal_vector_t > internal_vectors;
while (fetching lots of records) {
internal_vector_t tmp;
// reads 1Mb of chars in tmp...
// some more work
// use this internal_vectors
The algorithm inserts a lot of times in
internal_vectors instances of internal_vector_t using push_back(). Most of instances of internal_vector_t have size 1 Mb. Since the size of the
internal_vectors is unknown no reserve() is done beforehand.
The first thing that I don't understand is what is happening when
internal_vectors reachs its current capacity, needs to allocate a new block and copy its current content in the bigger block of memory. Since most of the blocks are 1Mb in size copying is a long operation. Should I expect that a compiler (gcc 4.3, MS VC++ 2008) will manage to optimize it in order to avoid copying?
If copying is unavoidable will changing to
std::deque help? I consider std::deque because I still need accessing by index like internal_vectors[10]. Like this:
typedef std::vector<unsigned char> internal_vector_t;
std::deque< internal_vector_t > internal_vectors;
// the same while
As far as I understand
std::deque does not need relocate that was once allocated. Am I right that
std::deque in this situation will requere less allocation and copying on push_backs?
1) According to DeadMG MSVC9 does this type of optimization (The Swaptimization - TR1 Fixes In VC9 SP1). gcc 4.3 probably doesn't do this type of optimization.
2) I have profiled the version of the algorithm that use
std::deque< std::vector<unsigned char> > and I see that its performace is better.
3) I have also made use of using
swap that was suggested by Mark Ransom. Using this improved the performance:
internal_vector_t tmp;

Getting married, starting a job or going to the dentist have long been recognised as sources of great stress.
But it seems they are now matched by a new, peculiarly 21st century affliction – the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
Millions apparently suffer from "no mobile phobia" which has been given the name nomophobia.
They have become so dependent on their mobile that discovering it is out of charge or simply misplacing it sends stress levels soaring.
Experts say nomophobia could affect up to 53 per cent of mobile phone users
More than 13million Britons fear being out of mobile phone contact, according to research.
Crazy… I love technology but we are now trading for real conversations with real people face to face!
Not sure really about this image but it is my reply
wonderful concept, wonderfully created and I agree with your sentiments 100%, seems the art of communication is less personal than just 10 years ago, and with text i am beginning to wonder what we were taught cursive for, ahhh we digress, still your piece is precise and thoughtful
This is a wonderful depiction of today's reliance on mobiles. Lol, I certainly don't fit into the no-mobile fear group, I love being without it! I wish I could go without one completely but safety reasons mean I need to have one.Your concept and execution are brilliant.
A fave for me, Mr Ghost.
Fantastic TG!! :)
Outstanding artwork!
Esto me gusta mucho!!!
nice work.
Terrific concept, Ghost . . . fascinating image . . . makes one wonder . . .
crazy. and I don't ever understand why answering a call or a message is important enough to interrupt any face to face conversation….I hate it.
good to see you working again.
I guess this won't be designed as I-phone cover. ;-))
you and me both
– ToastedGhost
I love turning my phone off!!!!!
Really cool!!

Looks like a great board at a great price.
perrycar Apr 13, 10
seems to work well for me, however, when I try to unlock my forth core my system becomes unstable, anyone else?
hiigaran Apr 14, 10
you could just have a problem with the processor itself. when the cores are disabled, they are sometimes done so because they are damaged. this is a way for the manufacturers to save some money and reduce wastage. core unlocking doesnt work for everyone.
VeGiTAX2 Apr 14, 10
It's a risk taken in buying the tri or dual core chips to unlock the other cores. The best you can do is study the processor codes that have the best results and hope that your retailer gets you one from a batch around that time. As hiigaran noted, these are often disabled for some level of defect in the quality of the chip. Some are able to underclock to gain stability while others have to just revert back to their original cores.
perry car Apr 15, 10
direct x 11 doesn't see it either, I think you are right, they call it a three core when the fourth core doesn't work properly
VeGiTAX2 Apr 15, 10
The functionality is always a toss-up, although if by some freak accident it ever has a problem. AMD tends to maintain a one time swap program no matter what the case is for the chip not working. Unfortunately that still doesn't promise you a working 4th core if you did get another chip.
