My mind is the thirteen level floor
Can't find it
from Crooked I (Ft. Horseshoe G.A.N.G & Iceman) – Team COB Lyrics on Genius
Since the number 13 is very unlucky, most buildings don't have a 13th floor. His mind is the 13th floor, which doesn't exist. That's what he means by "Can't find it"
Notice that there's no 13th floor button because there is no 13th floor. Although technically the 14th floor is the 13th floor.

Oct 19, 2012This is just the most stupid film ever made. Seriously. Just watch this sh*t. Only talking, talking, talking and... BORING TALKING! Oh, i forget about silly screenplay.
I can't imagine film worse than this one.
The film is an ingenious, deranged, bloated, and just plain batshit crazy riff on advertising and the mad men and women it creates and/or consumes. Heady stuff, but it's no "How to Get Ahead in Advertising." This film is absolutely mental, and not in a good way, either.
Branded has ideas, but unfortunately, the ideas are reeking batshit nuts, especially once the cheaply animated "brand" monsters, which might not actually exist, start flying around like Ghostbusters mistakes biting one another. You've been warned.

Recipe by Chef John
"Before I knew much about food or dining out, I knew that if they brought shrimp cocktails to the table as an appetizer, we were eating at a 'fancy' restaurant. I'm sure I enjoyed the shrimp, but what I really loved was dipping the crackers in the spicy, horseradish-spiked cocktail sauce."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 teaspoon
whole black peppercorns
bay leaf
Cocktail Sauce:
1/2 cup

prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon
lemon juice
1 teaspoon
Worcestershire sauce
3 drops

shell-on deveined jumbo shrimp
This was a fantastic way to season up shrimp. I've never done this before and now I will always season like this. Perfect flavor and the recipe was right on.
This was fantastic! I have made shrimp cocktail a few times but it was missing "something". This recipe hit the nail on the head for us and was most like what you order in a restaurant. Only change made was I did not have the tarragon so I subbed oregano. Perfection!
7 Ratings
Thank you so much! Only way I will prepare shrimp cocktail from now on! Only change I made was adding a little dried tarragon instead of fresh. I didn't have fresh. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce is the best ever! So good!
used fresh shrimp (and bottled cocktail sauce) - absolutely the best shrimp I've ever had! wouldn't change a thing!

In this article I argue that the value of epistemic justification cannot be adequately explained as being instrumental to truth. I intend to show that false belief, which is no means to truth, can nevertheless still be of epistemic value. This in turn will make a good prima facie case that justification is valuable for its own sake. If this is right, we will have also found reason to think that truth value monism is false: assuming that true belief does have value, there is more of final epistemic value than mere true belief.
In this article I dispute the claim, made by several contemporary scholars, that Spinoza was a naturalist. 'Naturalism' here refers to two distinct but related positions in contemporary philosophy. The first, ontological naturalism, is the view that everything that exists possesses a certain character (variously defined) permitting it to be defined as natural and prohibiting it from being defined as supernatural. I argue that the only definition of ontological naturalism that could be legitimately applied to Spinoza's philosophy is so unrestrictive as to tell us nothing about the content of his ideas. The second, methodological naturalism, is the view that the natural sciences are the best means of finding out substantial truths about the concrete world. I present some historical research showing that Spinoza's way of positioning himself with respect to other philosophers in the Dutch Republic casts very serious doubt on the claim that he was a methodological naturalist. This adds further weight to arguments that have already been made against the naturalist reading of Spinoza.
Malebranche argues that we lack a clear idea of the mind because we cannot, even in principle, derive all the possible modes of mind solely from the idea of thought. But we can, in principle, derive all the possible modes of body from the idea of extension. Therefore, there is epistemic asymmetry between our ideas of mind and body. I offer a defense of Descartes whereby he can assert that we have a clear idea of mind despite this asymmetry. I argue that he can do this by distinguishing the simplicity of mind from the divisibility of body.
In a dissonance case, a person sincerely and with conviction asserts that P, while his/her overall automatic behavior suggests that he/she believes that not-P. According to Schwitzgebel (2001, 2010), this is a case of in-between believing. This article raises several concerns about Schwitzgebel's account and proposes an alternative view. I argue that the in-between approach yields incorrect results in belief self-ascriptions and does not capture the psychological conflict underlying the individual's dissonance. I advance the view that in relevant cases the dissonant individual has two mutually contradictory beliefs.
Robust Virtue Epistemology (RVE) maintains that knowledge is achieved just when an agent gets to the truth through, or because of, the manifestation of intellectual virtue or ability. A notorious objection to the view is that the satisfaction of the virtue condition will be insufficient to ensure the safety of the target belief; that is, RVE is no anti-luck epistemology. Some of the most promising recent attempts to get around this problem are considered and shown to ultimately fail. Finally, a new proposal for defending RVE as a kind of anti-luck epistemology is defended. The view developed here turns importantly on the idea that knowledge depends on ability and luck in a way that is gradient, not rigid, and that we know just when our cognitive success depends on ability not rather, but more so, than luck.
The article investigates the significance of the so-called phenomenon of apparent faultless disagreement for debates about the semantics of taste discourse. Two kinds of description of the phenomenon are proposed. The first ensures that faultless disagreement raises a distinctive philosophical challenge; yet, it is argued that Contextualist, Realist and Relativist semantic theories do not account for this description. The second, by contrast, makes the phenomenon irrelevant for the problem of what the right semantics of taste discourse should be. Lastly, the following dilemma is assessed: either faultless disagreement provides strong evidence against semantic theories; or its significance should be considerably downplayed.
I defend a theory of the way in which death is a harm to the person who dies that (i) fits into a larger, unified account of harm (so that death is not a special kind of harm but is harmful in the same way that any harmful event is harmful); and (ii) includes an account of the time of death's harmfulness, one that avoids the implications that death is a timeless harm and that people have levels of welfare at times at which they do not exist.
This article motivates and develops a new theory of time: priority presentism. Priority presentism is the view according to which (i) only present entities exist fundamentally and (ii) past and future entities exist, but they are grounded in the present. The articulation of priority presentism is an exercise in applied grounding: it draws on concepts from the recent literature on ontological dependence and applies those concepts in a new way, to the philosophy of time. The result, as I will argue, is an attractive position that can do much of the same work in satisfying our intuitions about time as presentism, but without the ontological cost.
Our behavior doesn't always match the beliefs attributed to us, and sometimes the mismatch raises questions about what our beliefs actually are. I compare two approaches to such cases, and argue in favor of the one which allows some belief-attributions to lack a determinate truth-value. That approach avoids an inappropriate assumption about cognitive activity: namely, that whenever we fail in performing one cognitive activity, there is a distinct cognitive activity at which we succeed. The indeterminacy-allowing approach also meshes well with an attractive view of folk-psychology: that ascriptions can help shape the attitudes they report.
The claim that everyone ought to be treated with respect is a familiar and widely accepted prescription in recent moral philosophy, often expressed as a principle of 'respect for persons.' I argue that this principle need not be justified by a claim that every person possesses some feature – dignity, autonomy, value, or the like – that makes her worthy of respect. There is abundant conceptual space within many approaches to moral philosophy, including a Kantian approach, to affirm a duty of respect for all persons, while denying that the duty is justified by the respect-worthiness of every person.
It is a common criticism of presentism – the view according to which only the present exists – that it errs against truthmaker theory. Recent attempts to resolve the truthmaker objection against presentism proceed by restricting truthmaker maximalism (the view that all truths have truthmakers), maintaining that propositions concerning the past are not made true by anything, but are true nonetheless. Support for this view is typically garnered from the case for negative existential propositions, which some philosophers contend are exceptions to truthmaker maximalism. In this article, we argue that a 'no truthmakers' approach to the truthmaker objection is critically flawed.
I show that a particular version of Hume's Dictum together with the falsity of Composition as Identity entails an incoherency, so either that version of Hume's Dictum is false or Composition as Identity is true. I conditionally defend the particular version of Hume's Dictum in play, and hence conditionally conclude that Composition as Identity is true. I end by suggesting an alternative way out for a persistent foe of Composition as Identity, namely mereological nihilism.
This article defends novel approaches to what we are and how we persist. First it is claimed that we have disjunctive persistence conditions: we can persist by way of either biological continuity or psychological continuity. Then it is claimed that we are neither human beings nor persons essentially. Rather, we are essentially bio-psycho-continuers, a concept to be explained along the way. A variety of objections are considered and found wanting.
E. J. Lowe argues that the mental event token cannot be identical to the complex neural event token for they have different counterfactual properties. If the mental event had not occurred, the behavior would not have ensued, while if the neural event had not occurred, the behavior would have ensued albeit slightly differently. Lowe's argument for the neural counterfactual relies on standard possible world semantics, whose evaluation of such counterfactuals is problematic. His argument for the mental counterfactual relies on a premise that is plausibly false. My arguments support other counterfactuals, which are consistent with identity theories.
Pretense is a topic of keen interest to philosophers and psychologists. But what is it, really, to pretend? What features qualify an act as pretense? Surprisingly little has been said on this foundational question. Here I defend an account of what it is to pretend, distinguishing pretense from a variety of related but distinct phenomena, such as (mere) copying and practicing. I show how we can distinguish pretense from sincerity by sole appeal to a person's beliefs, desires, and intentions – and without circular recourse to an 'intention to pretend' or to a sui generis mental state of 'imagining.'

Sea Tea Improv Announces 'Beginners' 'Character' and 'Second Beat' Fall 2012 Classes
As part of its educational offerings, Sea Tea Improv will be teaching two levels of improv courses to the public this fall. For the first time, this swift-growing professional theater company will be offering an Intro to Improv workshop, a Foundation-Level course called "The Character," and a Focus-Level course about "Second Beats." The courses will each be taught by a founding member of the acclaimEd Hartford-based Improvisational Theater Company.
All classes will be held at Sea Tea Improv's brand-new studio space: 75 Pratt St, 5th floor, Room 512, in Hartford, Conn.
"Improv for Beginners," taught by Greg Ludovici, is for everyone-- no comedy required. In this one-day workshop, Sea Tea Improv will introduce the basic techniques and games that professional improvisers and comedy writers use to collaboratively discover fun ideas, characters, and scenes. Our number one rule is "make your partner look good," so come try improv in a supportive, no-pressure environment, and learn from a professional improviser. Our course instructors have graduated from the premier comedy schools in the northeast, including New York City's Upright Citizens Brigade, and ImprovBoston. The class will be held on Sunday, September 30th, 3 PM to 5 PM. Workshop is limited to 15 participants. Registration is via paypal. http://bit.ly/SeaTeaBeginners
The Foundation Course: "The Character," taught by Vladimir John Perez will focus on character development through physical exploration. Players will invent, refine and inspire characters that are rich and consistent. Students will also learn how to clearly create, communicate and maintain objects within the environment of the scene. This course ends in a share performance for an invited audience. This course requires no previous improv experience or courses. Those with improv experience will benefit from the curriculum targeting specific improv skill-sets. All class meetings are from 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM on Wednesday nights, from Oct 10th through December 12th. The class is $199 and limited to 16 students. Register via PayPal:

Had an excellent experience staying here. The room was clean and comfortable, as I expected it would be, but I have to say the highlight was the courteous employees. I believe Judy was the name of the woman who served our breakfast--a total gem. And the shuttle was a wonderful convenience. I'd definitely stay here again.

Tempers flaring over school crowding in Manchester
Relations between the Hooksett and Manchester school boards are heating up, so much so that after both agreed to hold a joint public meeting on Thursday, Nov. 15, the meeting place became a bone of contention.
The meeting was set so the boards can discuss overcrowding at Manchester High School Central, where most of Hooksett's students go.
It follows Hooksett school officials threatening to pull their students out of the city high school after reports, at the start of this school year, that some classes had more than 30 students.
The high school agreement allows Hooksett, Candia and Auburn to terminate the contract with the city if Manchester fails to follow state standards on class sizes and other educational issues.
Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas said that the Manchester School Board had asked Hooksett to come to West and "opinions were voiced" by members about where the meeting should take place. A telephone poll took place Thursday and the board decided to go to Hooksett.
"This needs to be worked out. It needs to be the right thing for Manchester, for Hooksett, and for the students," said Gatsas.
A couple of years ago, a task force was formed about the schools and meetings were held in both communities, he pointed out.
Up until Thursday, the Manchester board had sidestepped Hooksett's insistence that the meeting be held at Cawley Middle School in Hooksett where the town believes "the Hooksett public would be facilitated in terms of their attendance."
Instead, city school officials had offered Manchester venues. The city's initial response was the Manchester Health Department. In response to Hooksett's request to hold the meeting in town, Manchester voted at a special meeting Nov. 2 to hold the meeting at Manchester High School West.
The Hooksett School Board, however, wasn't budging. At their last meeting on Nov. 6, the board voted unanimously to reaffirm their intention to hold the meeting in the Hooksett middle school's gym. Hooksett Superintendent of Schools Dr. Charles P. Littlefield noted his intent to send a letter to that effect the following morning.
"We have an issue here with venue," said Littlefield before the vote. "I think it has been this board's position that in some ways, we are the aggrieved party, and to facilitate communication with the Hooksett public, we had not asked them to drive to Manchester to witness this meeting."
The board shared Littlefield's sentiment.
"I agree that we are the aggrieved party, but even if we weren't, they're our vendor," said school board member David Pearl. "Spending the kind of money that we spend, I think if we asked to meet with any of our vendors, they probably would show up."
Board member Trisha Korkosz went even further, stating after a discussion about the possibility of suggesting a "neutral" meeting place on town/city lines, "I just think their not wanting to come here speaks volumes about what they think about us."
The Hooksett School Board voted Oct. 26 to enter into negotiations with Manchester for an early release from the town's contract with the city school district, arguing the city failed to lower classroom sizes in accordance with state standards.
The Nov. 15 meeting is meant to be a public discussion between the two boards on the issue at large and the current status of Manchester's high schools.
The motion, which was passed unanimously, authorized Littlefield and the Hooksett School District's attorney, Gordon Graham, to approach the Manchester School District in pursuit of an exit deal. The move would avoid a breach of contract fight.
If resolved soon, Hooksett could find a replacement school for students to attend starting in September. Pinkerton Academy in Derry is widely considered to be a frontrunner for Hooksett students.
Should Manchester agree to the negotiations, and should a deal be reached, a warrant article will be issued to be voted on by town residents.
Auburn has already taken steps to remove its students, with plans for them to attend Pinkerton Academy. Candia, too, is reviewing its options.

Ice Cube - Crowded
Artist: Ice Cube
Producer: Solid Productions
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 27 votes )
The rap game's considerably more Crowded than it was in 1986, when Ice Cube first hit the scene as one-sixth of N.W.A., but there will always be room in the spotlight for the West Coast vet. That's due in part to the man's skills on the mic, and partly to his willingness to elbow the competition out of the way. On this non-album promotional single, recorded for inclusion in a new Coors Light commercial, the Los Angeles mainstay showcases his combative brand of swag over a scintillating club instrumental by Solid Productions. While this joint, as mentioned above, isn't part of the set, Cube fans should keep it locked for the latest on forthcoming full-length Everythang's Corrupt, the lead single and title track off which earned rave reviews from our readers when it hit our pages in fall 2012.

NH killer in 1991 Smart trial seeks time with wife
William "Billy" Flynn was 16 when he was charged with shooting to death the husband of Pamela Smart, who was his lover and an employee of the school he attended.
Flynn and a friend, Patrick Randall, who held Smart's husband at knifepoint, were convicted of second-degree murder.
The New Hampshire Department of Corrections kept the inmates separate by having Flynn incarcerated in Maine while Randall served his sentence in New Hampshire.
"We basically stated that William Flynn has been discipline-free over 15 years and completed all programs and treatment required of him," New Hampshire corrections spokesman Jeff Lyons said.
Flynn's bid to be furloughed comes amid renewed interest in the Pamela Smart case.
Smart, who is serving life in prison without the possibility of parole, has maintained her innocence and said that Flynn was responsible for the murder.

Antiperspirant compositions in gel form are provided which include an antiperspirant-active salt, a C2 -C6 polyhydric alcohol, dibenzyl monosorbitol acetal, and a propoxylated C6 -C20 alcohol carboxylate. The carboxylate serves both as an emollient and as a clarifier to obtain a clear gel stick.
1. An antiperspirant stick composition of good clarity comprising:
(i) from about 1 to about 50% by weight of an astringent antiperspirant-active salt;
(ii) from about 5 to about 60% by weight of a C2 -C12 polyhydric alcohol;
(iii) from about 0.5 to about 10% by weight of dibenzyl monosorbitol acetal; and
(iv) from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight of is propyl PPG-2 isodeceth-7 carboxylate.
2. A composition according to claim 1, further comprising from about 0.1 to about 10% by weight of zinc glycinate.
3. A composition according to claim 1, wherein the polyhydric alcohol is selected from the group consisting of dipropylene glycol and propylene glycol.
4. A composition according to claim 1, wherein the carboxylate is present in an amount from 1 to 2%.
5. A composition according to claim 4, wherein the dibenzyl monosorbitol acetal is present in an amount from 1.5 to 5%.
6. A composition according to claim 1, wherein the carboxylate is present in an amount from 0.8 to 5%.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to antiperspirant compositions in the form of gelled sticks.
2. The Related Art
Cosmetic sticks which exhibit a clear appearance can be prepared using sodium stearate as a gelling agent or structurant. Unfortunately, these clear sticks cannot be formulated with antiperspirant-active salts because the alkaline gelling agents will react with the acidic salts. This incompatibility has been surmounted through use of neutral structurants, for instance, use of low melting point waxy materials such as stearyl alcohol. Stability is good but the resultant sticks are opaque.
For many years, the art has investigated a unique gelling agent known as dibenzyl monosorbitol acetal (DBMSA) for use in translucent or transparent sticks. No derivative of sorbitol or any other gelling agent has yet been found which equals its structurant properties. However, it is also known that acetals are stable only in alkaline or neutral media, but not in acidic media. Under an acidic environment even in the presence of small amounts of water, the acetal hydrolyzes or will react with alcohol, e.g. ethanol, to form a different acetal.
Thus, antiperspirant sticks containing acidic antiperspirant-active salts in the presence of DBMSA in reactive alcoholic solvents have not been satisfactory because, in time, especially at elevated temperatures, they deteriorate and liquefy. There is a need, therefore, to find a way to stabilize these sticks against such deterioration.
Antiperspirant sticks containing dibenzyl monosorbitol acetal and antiperspirant-active salts are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,154,816 (Roehl et al.). These sticks contain, in addition to the antiperspirant-active salt and DBMSA, a lower monohydric alcohol, a di- or trihydric alcohol, a propylene-/ethylene-glycol polycondensate, and optionally an alkylolamide. A problem with these products is their stickiness on application. U.S. Pat. No. 4,346,079 (Roehl) reports elimination or significant reduction of the stickiness problem through replacement of at least part of the polycondensate with an oleaginous compound.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,518,582 (Schamper et al.) found the Roehl antiperspirant sticks, even with the improved stickiness control, were not stable on extended exposure at elevated temperatures. The problem was addressed through use of a gel stabilizer such as magnesium sulfate, zinc acetate and hexamethylenetetramine. Another remedy for stickiness is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,720,381 (Schamper et al.) wherein non-reactive solvents were used to replace reactive ones. Less reactive alcohols were identified as isopropanol, isobutanol, dipropylene glycol and other higher molecular weight alcohols. A still further approach was described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,725,430 (Schamper et al.) wherein N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acetamide was utilized as a stabilizing agent in the gel.
Another refinement of the DBMSA system is reported in U.S. Pat. No. 4,781,917 (Luebbe et al.) which utilizes a coupling agent and buffering adjustment agent to improve the stick. The coupling agent may be a polypropylene glycol (PPG) ether of a C4 -C22 fatty alcohol. Suitable buffering adjustment agents were stated to be coconut monoethanolamide, sodium aluminum chlorohydroxylactate, sodium hydroxide, stearamide monoethanolamide, acetamide MEA, zinc acetate, zinc oxide, zinc stearate, zinc carbonate and similar materials.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,743,444 (McCall) describes improvements in gel rheology and transparency, while maintaining hardness and physical integrity. These benefits were obtained by incorporation of a C14 -C16 fatty alcohol.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,719,102 (Randhawa et al.) in conjunction with a DBMSA gel stick describes novel solvents for use therein to allow processing at lower temperatures. The novel solvent is a compound having not greater than about five carbon atoms that includes, for instance, morpholine, pyridine, acetic acid, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, etc.
EP 0 512 770 A1 (Benfatto et al.) describes DBMSA compositions wherein water and lower monohydric alcohols have been replaced with dihydroxy aliphatic alcohols containing 3 to 6 carbon atoms as solvents.
Westwood Chemical Corporation in its data sheets has suggested that a DBMSA gel stick could be stabilized with zinc glycinate. At higher temperatures this technology is insufficiently effective to prevent cloudiness arising in the gel stick. Clarity is especially adversely effected when the compositions contain emollients necessary to improve product aesthetics and avoid the tacky feel associated with this type of formulation.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an antiperspirant stick gelled with DBMSA which does not deteriorate or become sticky, even at higher temperatures.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an antiperspirant stick gelled with DBMSA that not only is stable but has good clarity, i.e. at least translucent if not transparent.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an antiperspirant stick gelled with DBMSA that includes emollients yet minimizes the tacky feel commonly associated with these types of formulations.
These and other objects of the present invention will become more readily apparent from consideration of the following summary, examples and detailed description.
An antiperspirant composition is provided which includes:
(i) from about 1 to about 50% by weight of an antiperspirant-active salt;
(ii) from about 5 to about 60% of a C2 -C12 polyhydric alcohol;
(iii) from about 0.5 to about 10% of dibenzyl monosorbitol acetal; and
(iv) from about 0.1 to about 10% of a propoxylated C6 -C20 alcohol carboxylate.
Use of the propoxylated alcohol carboxylate provides an emollient which not only improves aesthetics and reduces the tacky feel commonly associated with DBMSA formulations but also is highly compatible thereby maintaining product clarity.
Now it has been discovered that the tackiness and aesthetics of a DBMSA gelled antiperspirant stick can be improved through use of a propoxylated C6 -C20 carboxylate as an additive. Thus, the essential components of gelled sticks according to the present invention are an antiperspirant-active salt, at least one polyhydric alcohol as solvent, DBMSA as gellant and the propoxylated C6 -C20 carboxylate.
Accordingly, the first essential element of compositions according to the present invention is an atiperspirant-active salt. Actives within this category include: polyhydroxy complexes of basic aluminum salts (e.g. aluminum chlorohydrol-propylene glycol complex), polyhydroxy derivatives of zinc and zirconium complexes of basic aluminum halides, zirconal hydroxychloride salts (e.g. zirconium/aluminum glycine complexes known as "ZAG"), aluminum chlorhydroxide, aluminum chloride, aluminum sesquichlorhydroxide and activated aluminum chlorhydroxide.
Particularly preferred is aluminum/zirconium pentachlorhydrex-GLY complex, fortified with zinc glycinate, and available from Westwood Chemical Corporation as Westchlor� A2Z8106 (30% propylene glycol solution).
Levels of the antiperspirant-active salt may range from about 1 to about 50%, preferably from about 10 to about 40%, optimally between about 15 and about 30% by weight.
A second essential element of compositions according to the present invention is that of a polyhydric alcohol functioning as a solvent for the composition. Polyhydric alcohols may be selected from the group consisting of 1,2-propylene glycol; 1,3-propylene glycol; 1,3-butylene glycol; glycerin; 2-methyl-2,4-pentane-diol; 2-ethyl-1,3-hexane-diol; 1,4-dihydroxypentane; 1,4-butylene glycol; dipropylene glycol; dibutylene glycol and mixtures thereof. Levels of polyhydric alcohol may range from about 5 to about 60%, preferably from about 10 to about 50%, optimally between about 25 and 40% by weight.
Dibenzyl monosorbitol acetal to be utilized in compositions of the present invention is commercially available as Millithix 925 from Milliken Chemical, Division of Milliken & Company and as Gell A-D from the New Japan Chemical Company, Ltd., Osaka, Japan. Levels of DBMSA should range from about 0.5 to about 10%, preferably from about 1.5 to about 5%, optimally between about 1.8 and 3% by weight.
The improvement element of compositions according to the present invention is that of a propoxylated C6 -C20 alcohol carboxylate. The preferred carboxylate has the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is a C6 -C20 radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl and phenyl; R1 is a C1 -C8 radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl and phenyl; x is an integer from 1 to 20, preferably from 1 to 5, optimally 2; and y is an integer from 0 to 20, preferably from 1 to 8, optimally about 6. The preferred R group is a C6 -C12, optimally a C8 -C10 alkyl group. R1 is preferably a C1 -C4 alkyl, optimally an isopropyl group. Most suitable for purposes of this invention is a material whose CTFA name is Isopropyl PPG-2-Isodeceth-7 Carboxylate, available as Velsan D8P-3 from the Sandoz Chemical Company. Levels of the carboxylate component will range from about 0.5 to about 10%, preferably from about 0.8 to about 5%, optimally between about 1 and 2% by weight.
A variety of buffering/pH adjustment agents may also be incorporated into compositions according to the present invention. Illustrative of this category are coconut monoethanolamide, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, stearamide monoethanolamide, acetamide MEA, calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, aluminum oxide, calcium acetate, zinc glycinate, zinc oxide, zinc acetate and mixtures thereof. Most preferred is zinc glycinate. Levels of these agents may range from about 0.1 to about 10%, preferably from about 0.4 to about 3%, optimally from about 0.5 to about 1.5% by weight.
Emollients and coupling agents may also be included in compositions according to the present invention. Often, materials will function both as emollient and coupling agent. Illustrative of these materials are C6 -C22 fatty alcohols, ethoxylated derivatives of C6 -C22 fatty alcohols, propoxylated derivatives of C6 -C22 fatty alcohols, and mixtures thereof. Specific examples of these are: PPG-5-ceteth-20; PPG-4 myristyl ether; PPG-4 lauryl ether; PPG-10 cetyl ether; PPG-3 myristyl ether; Glycereth 7; PPG-10 butane diol and mixtures thereof. Most preferred is PPG-10 butane diol (available as Macol 57) and Glycereth 7 (available as Liponic EG-7). Levels of these materials may range from about 0.1 to about 20%, preferably from about 0.5 to about 10%, optimally from about 0.8 to about 3% by weight.
Co-gellants may also be included in compositions according to the present invention. Particularly preferred are the ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymers such as Pluronic F77 available from the BASF Corporation. Amounts of these materials may range from 0.1 to about 5%, preferably from about 0.3 to about 3%, optimally from about 0.5 to about 1% by weight.
Volatile and nonvolatile silicone oils may also be incorporated into compositions according to the present invention. Preferred silicones include the polydimethyl siloxanes having from 3 to about 9 silicon atoms. Examples of silicone oils useful herein include: Dow Corning 344, Dow Corning 345 and Dow Corning 200. Silicone copolyols may also be useful, a preferred material being commercially available as Amersil DMC 357. Amounts of these materials may range from about 0.1 to about 20%, preferably from about 0.2 to about 3%, optimally between about 0.4 and 1.5% by weight.
Adjunct components of compositions according to the present invention may include fragrances, colorants, sunscreens, bacteriostats and combinations thereof, each at a level sufficient to perform their function. Generally, these materials will be present in amounts anywhere from about 0.01 to about 5% by weight of the compositions.
Sticks according to the present invention will preferably be clear. By the term clear is meant either translucent or transparent. Typically, the clear sticks will allow at least 2%, preferably more than 10%, optimally more than 50% of light to be transmitted through a one inch diameter stick.
The following Examples will more fully illustrate embodiments of this invention. All parts, percentages and proportions referred to herein and in the appended claims are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
A set of compositions were formulated to evaluate the effect of the propoxylated C6 -C20 alcohol carboxylate (Velsan D8P-3) on clarity of the resultant sticks. These compositions are outlined in the Table below.

Each of the compositions were formed by first combining phase I components in the order listed. These components were mixed while maintaining heat at 65� C. Phase II was then formed by combining dipropylene glycol and propylene glycol with heating to 110� C. Millithix 925� (DBMSA) was vigorously mixed into the phase II blend which was heated to 127� C. Thereafter, phase II was mixed until clear. Phase II after cooling to 110� C., was added to phase I held at 65� C. Fragrance was then added and the resultant mixture poured into molds.
Composition A was slightly cloudy upon pouring and became cloudy/opaque after gelation. As the fragrance was added, it was observed that the fragrance did not fully solubilize and formed flecks of precipitate.
Composition B was clear when poured and became slightly cloudy after gelation. Composition C was slightly cloudy at pouring and also after gelation. As the fragrance was added, it did not fully solubilize and formed flecks of precipitate. By contrast, Composition D was clear when poured and remained clear after gelation.
Based on these results, it is seen that Composition D is superior to that of A, B and C. Composition D owes its clarity to the presence of Velsan D8P-3, i.e. Isopropyl-PPG-2-Isodeceth-7-Carboxylate.
A further series of compositions according to the present invention are reported in the table below.

I have this question since I need to allocate the output buffer for the compressed data. I need to know how large the buIs the output of a compression algorithm (for example gzip, zip, or snappy) definitely smaller than the input?
Is the output of a compression algorithm (for example gzip, zip, or snappy) definitely smaller than the input?
For lossy compression algorithms it is possible for this to be the case, though not guaranteed. For lossless compression algorithms this is not the case - a lossless compression will always generate outputs that are larger than the input for some inputs. See this Wikipedia page for reasoning why.
there is always a fixed size associated with the "header", but for any real-life data (e.g. the length of this comment), compression will usually help.
That said, it is not "safe" to declare a post-compression buffer to be the same size as the input buffer. It might be bigger.
Compression libraries, such as zlib (for inflate/deflate used in gzip & pkzip) are more likely designed to process max N bytes from input and output max M bytes to user allocated buffer -- and signalling the caller if the library expects either new input data or new/cleared output buffer. Only rarely those libraries expect complete input and output residing in memory, but work on blocks.
Also the 'search windows' of many common algorithms are relatively small. This also limits the amount of required memory. Counter examples exists e.g. BWT used in tar.bz2.
And as other people have pointed out, the output of any lossless compression algorithm can be larger than the input, in which case most well designed compression libraries implement automatically a fallback mechanism, which just wraps an uncompressed block to a container with size information.
To summarize: many compression libraries just require a buffer from few kilobytes to few megabytes and process an input of any length with it. (Such constrains are btw included in MPEG -- in addition to the expected frame size (e.g. 128 kbps in mp3) they have specified the maximum required buffer size)
If you're using zlib (for gzip), you might find the following interface useful: (from
I believe that bzip has a similar interface. The value returned will be slightly larger than sourceLen, and should only be used if the data is compressing is small enough that you can do the compression in memory. For such applications, though, it's very useful.
Note that most of the time, you won't use most of the memory allocated, so you would also want to be able to return the unused memory if you are planning to keep the compressed version in memory for any length of time.
No, it is not.
A quick example: Data with uniformly distributed non-repeating values can not be compressed without loss, and so you end up with the original data, plus the attached meta data.
