Hurricane Maria is bearing down on Newfoundland, Canada, as a Category 1 hurricane with 80 mph winds. The wind shear over Maria turned out to be much lower than was predicted yesterday, allowing the storm to organize into the season's third hurricane. Latest satellite imagery shows that Maria is steadily degrading, with a hole in the storm's southwest eyewall, and the cloud pattern distorted by 30 - 50 knots of wind shear. The eyewall has collapsed, as seen on recent microwave satellite imagery. Maria's very fast forward speed of 45 mph means that only locations on the right (strong) side will experience hurricane force winds. With the center of Maria expected to pass over the extreme southeast tip of Newfoundland, only a small region of the island near Cape Race will see the powerful right-front quadrant of the storm. Winds at Sagona Island on the south shore of Newfoundland were sustained at 50 mph at 7:30 am local time, but have dropped to 37 mph at 9:10 am. Winds in the capital of St. John's have been rising steadily this morning, and were sustained at 37 mph, gusting to 46 mph, at 10:30 am local time. Winds will probably reach sustained speeds of 55 - 65 mph between 1 pm and 5 pm today in St. Johns, causing considerable tree damage and power failures. Radar out of Newfoundland shows the hurricane has been dumping heavy rains over the southeastern portion of the island this morning; rainfall has been under a half inch thus far at most locations, though. Along with wind damage, heavy rains leading to flash flooding are the main threat from Maria; last year, heavy rains of up to 8 inches from Hurricane Igor caused major damage in Newfoundland. Fortunately, Maria's rains are not expected to be as heavy as Igor's. According to the Canadian Hurricane Center, rivers in eastern Newfoundland are currently at average to below average levels, which will limit the amount of flooding. Maria's storm surge will arrive when the normal astronomical tide will be going out, limiting the damage the expected 3-foot storm surge will do.
Yesterday, Maria brought a brief 8-minute period of sustained winds of tropical storm force, 39 mph, to the Bermuda airport. Bermuda picked up 0.20" of rain from Maria.

Newfoundland's second consecutive year with a hurricane
If Maria strikes Newfoundland as a hurricane, this will be the province's second consecutive year with a hurricane strike, something that has never occurred since hurricane record keeping began in 1851. Last year, Hurricane Igor killed one person on Newfoundland, and damage exceeded $100 million, making Igor the most damaging tropical cyclone in Newfoundland history. A summary of the impact of Igor prepared by Environment Canada put it this way:
"Hurricane Igor and its severe impacts certainly represent a rare event in Newfoundland history which has been described as the worst in memory. In statistical terms, this was effectively a 50 - 100 year event depending on how one chooses to define it. There are no hurricanes/post tropical events of this magnitude striking Newfoundland in the modern era. Hurricane Juan in Nova Scotia was the last Atlantic Canadian hurricane to cause extreme damage. Prior to the naming of hurricanes, the 1935 Newfoundland Hurricane 75 years ago was of similar intensity."

Elsewhere in the tropics
All of the models have been sporadically predicting development of a tropical wave 5 - 7 days from now between Africa and the Lesser Antilles. The location and timing of the hypothetical storm have been inconsistent, and there is at present no signs of anything brewing. The NOGAPS model continues to predict a strong tropical disturbance or tropical depression could form in the Caribbean 6 - 7 days from now, near Jamaica. None of the other models is supporting this idea, so the NOGAPS model is probably wrong on this scenario. I'll have an update Saturday afternoon.

Quoting basti11: oh basti...you KNOW you will always have a sweet spot in my heart. Forever. :) islander- I am NOT begging for it to stop. Geez. It was overwhelming, yes. But BRING IT ON. I'd grow gills and webbed feet and LIVE in the water and rain if I could. |
Quoting Patrap: At 10:00 in the morning? Sure! :D |
Geez - amazing! And to think I had the gall to complain about the 3 1/2 inches we got Thursday afternoon - in about an hour! Yet FWB did not get a drop....... Quoting aquak9: |
Quoting Skyepony:cant make those people happy in ne fl. a few months ago they were crying no rain here? now they are begging for it to stop. stalled fronts can be a problem here in fl. |
Phunny stuff from Phunny folks always brings a crooked smile. Cake anyone? |
Quoting aquak9:Hi Aqua...so true-LOL |
Morning my dear K9.... I've with Skye -- Wow! Quoting aquak9: |
Quoting islander101010:I have to agree with you on this one, 97L which some models have this right over you next week and damn some have it moving right up the middle of florida, very interesting times ahead next week or so for us |
hi basti- our Doc is doing well, running a pharmacy dept at a big new hospital- she stays real busy We took 8.10 inches of rain between 7pm and 1am last night. I am not kidding. It was the worst drive ever, at 11pm. All the curbs were underwater for at least ten miles. Like a firehose spraying on my windshield, lightning blinding me, power out everywhere. Thank Goodness for the Subaru. They say there's more coming but I am too numb from last night to believe it. |
Quoting aquak9: Good Morning aqua. |
Mik.. looked the '28 cane over.. NICE work bro, I saved it and will revise my stuff to reflect the reanalysis, thanks! I have created an archive of all storms.. TD on up that "affected" Florida 1851 to present. Remembering that those were the days of sail and close counted. One file is 532 pages. I use it a lot when I'm nosing around pioneer stuff. |
Quoting aquak9: Great observation.. So what kind of rainfall totals you end with? I'm in wow of the frontal boundary that dumped on ya'll last night. |
Quoting aquak9:Good morning Aqua :) It's a beautiful morning in North Florida today. Hope you are enjoying it :) |
Quoting aquak9: Sad but true Aqua. |
Parts of NFL took some near epic rainfall lastnight.. |
1086. indianrivguy I'm on S. Lake Drive...I could throw a rock from my place and hit the Barefoot Mailman (motel), or the Old Key Lime House! We have got to get together...I love this kinda stuff. In '64 I lived on Pineway Drive - off Purdy Lane, west of Military. |
574 Speeky "Why did we come up with the name "Invest" for an area of disturbed weather that has a >20% chance of forming within 48 hours?" Like 'info' for 'information' : 'Invest' for 'area under investigation' Basicly if a storm system has characteristics within a(n at least minimally favorable) surrounding environment that resemble those of past storm systems which later developed into TropicalCyclones, an order is given to "Invest extra time and resources to investigate this storm system more closely." Which is expectably shorthanded down to 'Invest' on the paperwork and "We've got an Invest" in discussion. With numbering to distinguish which Invest we're discussing at the moment. Doesn't imply an expectation that a TC will develop. Study of interesting marginal systems -- even those that are most likely to be on the wrong side of the margin -- helps weather services to better understand "what will and what won't" become a more dangerous storm. |
palm beach florida south has a bad history for major landfall storms for the rest of this season the sw part of fl. would seem to be more likely spot for a landfaller |
hmmmm, looks like I need to spend some time at that hurdat site.. thanks Mik. I have to go to work in a bit, work late, then open in the morning so I won't be able to dig around much but I would be happy to share with you the stuff I have about storms. My family is the oldest homestead family in Palm Beach. We gave the name and spelling to Hypoluxo Island.. owned ALL of it once upon a time...sighs... I have two barefoot mailmen in the family and the statue and Stephan Dohanos' murals were modeled after my Uncle Charlie. He wrote a 690 page memoir that Dr. Don Curl condensed into the Book Pioneer Life in Southeast Florida. I absolutely thrive on this stuff and have served several years on the Board of the Lake Worth Pioneers Association, and am still currently their historian. Landfall... where is your home? My cousins run a little curio shop called the "Barefoot Mailman" out of the family house on Pine Street in Lantana that was built in 1910 or so. |
Quoting indianrivguy: I'm only refering to landfalling hurricanes (westerly-moving) whose center made a direct hit on PB County. I can only find four. Maps for the '28 storm with the revised track (Re-Analysis 2010) are available on my photo page. Hurricane Isbell of 1964 had almost the exact same track as Wilma. Same month, a little stronger, I was six at the time. Went right over us. |
Quoting oakland:Yes WuSister :) Sorry. |
Yawn, GW again. hit the snooze... I got an idea. Just design weather stations so they are not allowed to be 'liberal' and report temperatures higher than 85 F or have ongoing drought or other severe weather or any other clear signs of climate change... Problem solved, well actually we'll still be suffering it effects perhaps but at least we won't have to be open to debate or acknowledgement. After all the world isn't allowed more mystery than my ability to comprehend, if it doesn't fit in my brain then it's up to me to reject it as truth. I decide what the world can or can not be, not the other way around. God appointed me as the general manager of the universe, the universe has no right to manage me. |
Quoting scooster67:SOME MODELS HAVE THIS OVER FLORIDA NEXT WEEK |
Quoting indianrivguy: It's a little funny, there are a lot of people here in Palm Beach Co. that are relative newbies who have convinced themselves that somehow this area of S. FL is immune to hurricane strikes. You'll hear that the shape of the coastline, climatology, and plain 'ol "they don't hit here." None of that is true of course. The '49 storm you talked about and the '28 storm demonstrate it. Some of the biggest storms to strike the east coast have hit right along here, and there's no guarantee it won't happen again. In fact, you can almost guarantee it will at some point. |
One of the problems, I think, is this: Scientists, as a rule, aren't known for their captivating communication skills...and that has added to the polarization of the discussion....I'll pick on my own son, as he's a handy example....but it applies broadly... he's a physics major and a pilot...and he's most comfortable in a black and white world of 1's and 0's and tidy solutions...he sees no reason why the trains shouldn't run on time...unfortunately, for him, most of us live in the shady spots...so he's a bit socially inept...his girlfriend virtually had to stalk him before he realized she was interested...he can also come across as arrogant, which can be an impediment to meaningful communication... it's not a character flaw...it's just the nature of things... but it would serve science well if its practitioners would develop some communication skills... |
Quoting scooster67: WUSister.... LOL |
Quoting Landfall2004:I seem to recall reading that at one time not to distant say 5,000, 7,000 years ago that the Sahara was a lush landscape. It is thought that as the climate changed and the Sahara dried up it forced people to move to the Nile and learn how to cultivate crops. The artical I recall reading had a picture of a very old tree in the middle of the desert, the last remaining survivor of days long ago that somehow had tapped into a water source far beneath the sands. I try to make my posts entertaining and I hope informative. Not much is happening in the tropics right now, weather and climate do kinda go hand in hand. |
Thanks Weather Nerd.. I "captured" the image. Mik' The Jensen Causeway was wooden in '49, that is why it took so much damage. Not long ago we featured a photo collection about the damage the '49 storm caused at Stuart Feed Store Museum. One of our Board members comes from a boat building family and had some great shots of wrecked boats, buildings and dock in the Manatee Pocket. You have missed a LOT of storms that affected Palm Beach county. A portion of my family had just left service at Jupiter Light, trying to make their way to Lake Worth via the "sawgrass route" and were caught in a sawgrass swamp by the 1873 cane that was VERY similar to Wilma.. even to the point of pulling down a cool front behind it. Uncle Charlie said after taking shelter under the 12ft tender "Fly" hauled up on a gator crawl all night they awoke to a calm NW breeze with clear robin's egg blue skies. He could hardly believe that just a few hours before the storm was raging at over a hundred miles per hour. Charlie says the "vortex" or eye passed over them so either the storm had a bigger eye than supposed, or it's track was a little further south than recorded. An aside, the 1873 storm pulled a cold front down as I said, but it brought a frost to Nawlins' which was having a mosquito borne epidemic. The frost ended it for that year. |
Quoting indianrivguy: WOW--and my 1895 house stood through ALL of them!!!!! How is it I can't find HO insurance (except Citizens????) |
Quoting indianrivguy: As far as I know, I'm the only one with the revised track in a zoomed-in map form. You can go to the HURDAT Tracks and plot the positions for yourself. Here's the 1x4 from Andrew: Got it here. |
Climate change is the most important money matter facing humanity at this moment.Poloticians and elite's will be basking in the light while we sit in the dark. |
Quoting Neapolitan: Well Said Nea. I agree that climate change is a critical issue. I've also believed that the scientific community probably made an early error in calling it global warming (which it is, but probably wasn't the best name for it), which opened the door to people using things like record snowfall to debunk the science by attacking the name of the phenomenon. Dr. Masters has championed awareness of climate change for some time now, and most people who have come to this blog for a while know that Dr. Masters has been an advocate for increased awareness of it. I can't imagine that suddenly over the last 48 hours people suddenly realized that CC/GW is an ongoing topic of Dr. M's blog. |
Quoting GainesvilleGator: Just something interesting that was on the History Channel last night. Please forgive me if I do not remember everything with 100% accuracy--but I am trying. The Sahara is responsible for 150 million TONS of dust every year--some of which THANKFULLY reaches Florida--or we would have MORE hurricanes. Soil samples from the ocean floors indicate that the Sahara was once an Ocean 3 million years ago. Then the tectonic plates shifted and forced what is now Africa up into Europe and the land buckled and lifted. However, there were still some salt water lakes formed, that eventually dried up. Also, with the launch of the Space Shuttles, NASA used a "new" radar on a 30 mile wide swath of the Sahara in the early 1980's--and found that there we actually fresh water rivers in the Sahara at one time. Evidently, every 20,000 years or so, there is a WOBBLE in the earth's orbit, and the Sarah pulls away from the equator and becomes a rainforest. (Oh dear, no more dust!) My point--GW or not, STUFF HAPPENS beyond our control that affects climate and weather. Hey, we are travelling around on a spinning, cooling rock with a hot, molten center, in an ever expanding universe, being pelted with asteroids and meteorites. Who actually knows what tomorrow will bring? Sure not worth fighting over!!!! Life is too short. |
Quoting oakland:You have my support WuBrother. |
Quoting Neapolitan: Nea, I agree that there is a time and place for the conversation, but in peak week of tropical weather season is not it. Even with a lull like the one were having is not the time. Today's topic has nothing to do with AGW. I have noticed that your focus has been on the weather more lately and I have enjoyed reading your posts. When the season is over and when Jeff posts about it, I will be here then to learn more. Thanks for your informed input. I appreciate it. :) |
Quoting Neapolitan: +1000 |
Quoting jpsb: Hey, nice pie chart. I love pie charts. You're probably familier with this one: Of course, it's no longer accurate. "The biggest single killer in hurricanes is storm surge." Jamie Rhome, storm surge specialist at the National Hurricane Center in Miami. "Most U.S. tropical cyclone deaths occur from drowning," says hurricane center deputy director Ed Rappaport. Storm surge accounted for about half of the losses since 1970. Nearly all of those occurred in Katrina (2005). Floods from excessive rainfall rank second in causing loss of life in hurricanes. So, we need a new pie chart (warning: saying "pie chart" several times may make you hungry). Any pie chart makers (bakers?) out there? |
Here is the '28 'cane plotted on google earth A close up of center of storm track.. this surprised me, I always thought Palm Beach got the center Here is the "other" '28 storm plotted next to the Okeechobee lake storm.. we never hear about the first one, It HAD to have caused great problems, perhaps loading the area with water that a month later became a killer. Here is the '47 storm Mikatnight spoke of. I plotted it out looking for speed of advance, and distance from various points including Okeechobee Lake Andrew... couldn't find the 2x4 image, I have it some dang place. I am on a new laptop and have not moved all my stuff into it yet.. arrggg |
Quoting TropicalWeatherGrl88: All I can say to this is- Grothar was a nice man who had some wonderful contributions to this blog and WU in general. To come back this morning to learn he has left is a sad thing. Also, I searched his blog and tried to leave him a WUmail. The result- His blog entries have been removed and he has refused to accept WUmail. Whoever or whatever happened yesterday must have been pretty horrific to drive him completely away. It's a very sad commentary for the state of this blog. Okay, I'm getting off my soapbox now and I'm sure I'll have derogatory comments about what I've said but that's okay. |
[EDIT: removed quote, as my intention was not to single out any person or persons.] I've been hearing repeatedly of people leaving because of discussions about climate change, but I haven't seen any proof of that. There's one very vocal "skeptic" who has said he's withdrawing, along with a well-liked member going through a self-described period of bad health who has been posting less and less over the past several months anyway. But aside from those two--and a handful of who-wants-them-anyway trolls--I'm unsure who else has departed in a fit of pique. As aqua said last night, it's doubtful anyone leaving is suddenly doing so because of blog entries with CC/GW content; after all, Dr. Masters has been posting about that subject for several years now, and the blog is doing just fine, thank you very much. (Not to mention the fact that for every person who may leave because of climate change discussions, another one will be drawn here simply because of such discussions.) Annyway, it can't be said enough: it's Dr. Masters' blog. He has created WU, one of the most popular websites on the internet, and this blog is one of the most widely-read. If he wishes to occasionally use this self-created and high visible soapbox to talk about a subject--any subject--he's passionate about, I'm not sure what right any of us have to ask him to change. Demanding he does so is, to me, no different than walking into a McDonalds and declaring they must start serving only tofu burgers because you happen to be a vegetarian. That is: you're free to go elsewhere. Have some manners, for crying out loud. And a final note: climate change is likely the most important matter facing humanity at this moment. Not talking about it isn't going to make it go away. Thanks for listening... |
It's got a lot of work to do. It's a good representation on the state of this blog :( |
for what this is worth cause i ant no professor nor am i a very good scientist but i would like to think that with reasoning Dr Masters puts out this info on global warming to show us how this changes or could change our weather patterns on earth as well as we can see that it does indeed have an effect on our lives within this atmosphere and not only that but it could drastically effect the price of my Tatar tots with that said well let it Rain Over Me Link |

I'd normally run to Fairway Red Hook but they're closed due to Sandy. Please advise.My lamb shanks feel lonely.Thanks!
Flatbush Food Co Op may have them in the bulk section.
Believe you can find them at D'vine Taste in Park Slope. Also, believe I've bought them at (gasp) Key Food on Fifth Ave.
D'vine has it and it's the easier stop for me. Thank you both!
I don't know if they do or do not have them, but you may want to check out Sahadi's as well. Shopping in the bulk area is a bit of a workout (take a number!), but the prices are excellent. It seems like the kind of thing they would sell there.
Ive bought then at Sahadi in the past but they were packaged and in the area across from the register - not in the bulk area. I dont know what the arrangement after the expansion is,

At output of LM324, 50 mV low frequency (Around 5 to 10 Hz) oscillations were observed when it was used as attenuator for pure DC application........what could be the reason?
Welcome to the PF. Could you please post your schematic showing all connections and power supplies, and describe how you made this measurement?
You have not post the value of the components. BUT LM324 is unity gain stable, your circuit cannot cause oscillation. It must be something else. For low frequency oscillation, most likely is power supply. Do you have by pass cap on the power supply? Take a picture of your circuit. Layout is everything, circuit is always very simple. Your circuit has no problem on the schematic.
Value of components are R119 =R110=99k , R112=R117=499k....gain is 1/5 ...it is atteneuator...and input is 3.2 V DC
Your resistor value is a little high for my taste unless it is necessary. this is just a simple differential amp. You have a cap C93 that make the circuit unbalance, take it off and see whether the noise goes away. If you need the cap, you have to put one across R110 to balance to get common mode cancellation. But this is only affecting high frequency end, I don't think this is a problem. But worth a try. If that don't solve the problem, take a picture. With such high resistance, layout is very critical, long leads in the wrong spot can pick up all sort of noise.
Capacitor is Not connected(NC)...is that noise? what it should be called? I have attached o/p waveform ....Each division is 50 mV....is that noise? what it should be called?
Waveform is captured in CRO AC coupling mode...Even in multimeter oscillation was clearly visible as digits kept on changing...
Have you tried swapping the op-amp? Occasionally you get a defective one that "works" but has a high noise level.
I need a picture of your physical circuit. I want to see your layout. The waveform don't look oscillation, it is some noise you pickup. I also need a scope picture with longer time scale to see the repetition. Tell me the time scale as I can't see it. It looks like some periodic signal from the picture, but need wider time scale to tell. Picture first, talk is cheap at this point, if you did it right, the circuit should work, no if and buts about it.

text: "Fight The Good Fight" 1 Timothy 1:18-19a Intro: A. As Born Again Christians, Jesus told us – John 10:10 ― I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.‖ B. And we know that the fellowship we have with God is demonstrated in Galatians 5:22-23 ―…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. C. And yet everyone of us who have been saved more than a few years realize that – 1. There is another side to the Christian life 2. A side of the Christian life that is a life of SPIRITUAL WARFARE D. The moment we received Christ as Lord and Savior; 1. Not only did we enter a life of WONDERFUL FELLOWSHIP with GOD; 2. We also entered ―As believers, we entered a lifelong fight against the evil world system, Satan, and our own sinful human flesh.‖ E. Sadly, much of the contemporary church seems to have missed this reality 1. And many have only heard only the gospel of easy believism and cheap grace a. Which results in an inadequate understanding of spiritual warfare ―Many Christians, who have an inadequate concept of the spiritual struggle involved in loving Christ, often magnify the petty temporal annoyances of everyday life until they seem like trials of epic proportions. Frankly, that is as absurd as a soldier in the midst of a raging fire-fight complaining about the dirt on his uniform.‖ Dr. John MacArthur F. The Apostle Paul was very aware of Spiritual Warfare, not only did he 1. Understand the battle w/in in flesh (Romans 7:14-25) 2. And he also had to continually engage the world in conflict G. In 2 Corinthians 12:7 Paul said that he was relentlessly assaulted by Satan, 1. As a messenger of Satan was sent to beat him H. In 1 Thess. 2:17-18, 1. Paul said it was Satanic opposition that kept him from visiting the Thessalonians I. And now, here in 1 Timothy 1:18-19; 1. Paul calls Timothy to ‗fight the good fight' against Satan ―Like everyone who is in the ministry, Timothy was called to an unceasing spiritual warfare. That fight demands equipped, trained, and devoted soldiers. Paul wrote this letter to help Timothy gear up for the current battles.‖ J. Paul had left Timothy in Ephesus to oppose the false teachers who opposed the – 1. Person and work of Jesus Christ K. As the head of the church of Ephesus, Timothy was in the forefront of the battle; 1. And Paul wanted him to be prepared as he fought the spiritual battle in Ephesus What is Spiritual Warfare? (At its highest level, it is a…) War between God and Satan (it is also on an angelic level between…) Satan's demons and God's Holy Angels (on a human level, it is a battle between…) Godly and ungodly men L. Originally, there was no such war Genesis 1:31 (On the end of the 6th day…) Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. ―Everything in God's creation submitted to His sovereign rule; there was no conflict or rebellion. There was no Satan, no adversary, no rebel, no deceiver.‖ M. But then came that disastrous event that ignited the COSMIC WAR 1. Turn with me to Ezekiel 28, beginning with v 11 Ezekiel 28:11-19 11 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 12 "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord God: "You were the seal of perfection, Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you. 16 "By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones. 17 "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, That they might gaze at you. 18 "You defiled your sanctuaries By the multitude of your iniquities, By the iniquity of your trading; Therefore I brought fire from your midst; It devoured you, And I turned you to ashes upon the earth In the sight of all who saw you. 19 All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you; You have become a horror, And shall be no more forever." ' " N. Beginning in Ezekiel 26, Ezekiel had been giving prophecies against the city of Tyre 1. Here in Ezekiel 28, Ezekiel indicts the human ruler of Tyre 2. Then he describes the supernatural power behind the human ruler O. Ezekiel 28: 1–10 describes the human leader of Tyre, 1. Then verses 11–19 contain descriptions that could not apply to any human The leader of Tyre did not have ―the seal of perfection‖ (v. 12) nor was he in ―Eden, the garden of God‖ (v. 13) No mere human could be called ―the anointed cherub who covers‖ (v. 14) and of no man except Adam could it be said, ―You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you‖ (v. 15) Verses 11–19, then, describe Lucifer P. Before his fall, which obviously took place after the creation of the Garden of Eden, Satan was the ―anointed cherub who covers‖ (v. 14) He was the highest ranking angelic being, concerned particularly with the glory of God He was ―on the holy mountain of God,‖ and ―walked in the midst of the stones of fire.‖ Q. That speaks of his dwelling in the immediate presence of God 1. How such a being, blameless since his creation, 2. Existing in a perfectly holy environment, could sin remains a mystery 3. That he did sin is a fact, however 4. All Ezekiel says of him is that ―unrighteousness was found in you‖ (v. 15) He was then cast from his station among the holy ones in God's presence (v. 16) R. Although he is still allowed access to that presence (Job 1:6; Rev. 12:10) It was then that he became Satan, the adversary; Apollyon, the destroyer; Devil, the slanderer S. It's difficult for our finite minds to understand 1. How a perfect being in a perfect environment could fall into sin T. Ezekiel describes Lucifer's motivation in verse 17: ―Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor.‖ ―Satan somehow became enamored with his beauty and splendor, and his response was the sin of pride, which led to rebellion.‖ U. Isaiah 14:12–14 confirms that it was indeed pride that caused Satan's downfall: Isaiah 14:12-14 12 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.' V. Notice Satan's pride is revealed here in the five statements in verses 13 and 14 1. That begin, ―I will‖ ―As Ezekiel described Satan as the greater power behind the ruler of Tyre, so Isaiah shows him to be the power behind the king of Babylon. He calls him ―star of the morning,‖ emphasizing the glory Satan possessed before his fall (Rev. 22:16 where a similar phrase is used to describe Christ). Isaiah's exclamation ―How you have fallen from heaven‖ is reminiscent of our Lord's words in Luke 10:18, ―I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.‖ W. Satan was not was not content with being the highest–ranking created being, 1. Dwelling constantly in God's presence X. He became jealous of God, and sought equality with Him 1. That sin, a projection of his pride, a. Was the same one he soon tempted Eve to commit (Gen. 3:5) When Satan, in his pride, tried to ―ascend above the heights of the clouds,‖ and make himself ―like the Most High,‖ the long war with God began. Satan was not alone in his rebellion A. Revelation 12:3–4 reveals that hosts of other angels joined him: Revelation 12:3-4 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. ―The dragon is none other than Satan, and the stars of heaven symbolize the angels (Job 38:7). When Satan fell, he took one third of the angels with him. These fallen angels, or demons, aid Satan in his warfare against God. While some God has permanently bound (Jude 6), and others He has temporarily bound until the Tribulation (Rev. 9:3), the others move through the world to do Satan's bidding and their own evil.‖ B. The specific target of Satan and his demonic hosts is Christ 1. And His redemptive work and final glory C. In Revelation 12:5, we read of the woman, symbolizing Israel, 1. Giving birth to the Messiah, who was to rule the nations with a rod of iron D. In verse 4, we see Satan attempting to destroy the child 1. Throughout history, that has been the special focus of his attack ―Satan and his angels, in battling God and His purposes, also wage war against God's elect angels, led by Michael. That warfare has a past (Jude 9; Dan. 9), present, and future (Rev. 12:7) aspect. Although hidden from our view, their battle is no less real (Dan. 10:12–13).‖ E. Satan also attacks the people of God Satan's Warfare against the Believer – He personally attacks us o He attacks us through fallen angels He attacks us through evil men F. It's important for us to remember that Satan has limited interest in individual believers 1. His attacks against us are ultimately attacks on God and attempts to thwart His plans a. How we fare in the battle, then, reflects on God ―If we are defeated, Satan has in that sense been effective. When we are victorious, his attack against God are defeated.‖ G. This is the reason Paul urged Timothy in 2 Tim 2:3, to ―You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.‖ H. If we want to be victorious, we must understand how Satan attacks the church today 1. Then we will not be ―ignorant of his schemes‖ (2 Cor. 2:11) How does Satan attack the Church? First he attacks the church by blinding the minds of unbelievers to the gospel (2 Cor. 4:3–4) o Thereby keeping them away from the truth and the church o He accomplishes that through ignorance, false religion, pride, lust, and the wickedness that results from his control over the world system Second, Satan attempts to devastate those who are already believers o To cripple them and destroy the credibility of their witness Third, Satan attacks the church by attacking marriage and the family o Paul commanded husbands and wives not to deprive each other of sexual relations so Satan would have no opportunity to tempt them (1 Cor. 7:5) o Strong marriages and families are a prerequisite to a healthy church and witness o By attacking those institutions, Satan weakens the church o The recent upsurge in divorce and other family problems among Christians indicates he is having success in that area Fourth, Satan attacks the church through the leaders o 1 Timothy 3 tells us that leaders must be well qualified for their positions o Otherwise, they may ―fall into reproach and the snare of the devil‖ (1 Tim. 3:7) o There is no one in the church Satan would rather destroy than leaders o This, too, is an area where Satan has had much success in recent years o Leader after leader has been devastated by Satan's attacks, whether through sexual sin, pride, materialism, or authoritarianism o The results for the church are tragic o When the shepherds are destroyed, the flock will scatter Fifth, Satan attacks the church through false religious systems o Liberal Christianity, the cults, world religions & humanism are a constant menace o The leaders of those movements, like their evil master, can transform themselves into angels of light (2 Cor. 11:14–15) o The things taught in the name of biblical truth are sometimes frightening I. The church faces a constant barrage of error, 1. All of it ultimately spawned by Satan—―doctrines of demons‖ (1 Tim. 4:1) How can the church defend itself against the wicked one? Paul gives the answer in - 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, Ephesians 6:10-18 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints- Our weapons for fighting the spiritual battle are God's Word o Prayer ―at all times‖ B. Satan would love to draw us into the physical realm of spiritual warfare; 1. Where all our intellect, ability, skill, and ingenuity are useless C. It is a DAILY spiritual war that we are all engaged in 1. And this is why Paul urges Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:18 ---- 18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, THE RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE OTHERS A. It was important for Timothy to remember that he was not in the battle alone 1. He had not chosen his ministry; 2. Rather he had been commissioned by Paul, a. And his call to the ministry was confirmed by revelation from God ―Timothy was responsible and accountable to the church and the Head of the church for his role in the battle.‖ B. In order for Timothy to carry out his responsibility to the LORD and the CHURCH; 1. Timothy had 1st the command to OBEY 2. It was not a suggestion, and is not open for discussion ―Timothy had a duty to God in the church, something our self-indulgent culture knows little about. We talk much of freedom, success, joy, and peace, but little of duty. Yet we are duty- bound to obey the Commander and fulfill our ministries. Those things are not optional… Every servant of the Lord is duty-bound to carry out his ministry…In our society, with its emphasis on entertainment, anti-authoritarian attitude, critic mentality, and psychological orientation, our message will often be rejected. That, however, does not excuse us from our duty.‖ J. MacArthur C. Note also here in V18, that Timothy had a confirmation to live up to 1. Timothy's calling had been confirmed through prophecies 1 Timothy 4:14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. ―The prophecies were those that specifically and supernaturally called Timothy into the ministry. Paul's command to Timothy was not his own, but was confirmed by God through the ministry of some prophets.‖ D. Typically today, God calls men to be Pastors from within 1. That desire, or calling is then confirmed by the church E. Through the observation of a man's life & service, 1. The church can confirm whether he gives evidence of a. Being called by God to the ministry ―The confirmation of the call of God upon the Pastor's life, should keep him going when the battle is fierce. Having been commissioned by God through divine revelation, and then by the confirmation of God's people, a leader can't quit. The call of God in his life should encourage Timothy and all other preachers to fight the good fight.‖ ILLUSTRATION: The most notable convert of the early English Reformer and martyr Thomas Bilney was Hugh Latimer, who like Bilney died at the stake. Latimer was easily the most popular of the reforming preachers - full of the Word, with a vivid preaching style. He preached justification by faith alone but also preached that a justified man will show it in the way he lives. He was unsparing of other preachers' shortcomings: "Since lording and loitering hath come up, preaching hath come down... . They hawk, they hunt, they card, they dice." He accused his fellow preachers of "pampering of their paunches... munching in their mangers, and moiling in their gay manors and mansions." On one occasion he was invited to preach at Hampton Court before Henry VIII, and he predictably offended the king. Henry commanded Latimer to preach again the following Sunday and to make an apology. Latimer addressed himself as he began to preach: Hugh Latimer, dost thou know before whom thou art this day to speak? To the high and mighty monarch, the king's most excellent majesty, who can take away thy life if thou offendest; therefore, take heed that thou speakest not a word that may displease; but then consider well, Hugh, dost thou not know from whence thou comest; upon whose message thou art sent? Even by the great and mighty God! who is all present, and who beholdest all thy ways, and who is able to cast thy soul into hell! Therefore, take care that thou deliverest thy message faithfully. Then Hugh Latimer preached the same sermon he had preached the week before - with even more energy! What a man of God! There can be no doubt that Hugh Latimer, like his mentor Thomas Bilney, fought the good fight. Those sixteenth-century saints embodied apostolic steadfastness. F. Like Timothy, Hugh Latimer & Thomas Bilney; 1. Those called by God must accept the duty to fulfill their ministries. 19 having faith and a good conscience, THE RESPONSIBILITY WITHIN HIMSELF A. We could easily spend an entire morning studying just this phrase! 1. Notice here in V19a, that Paul is pointing out 2 FACTORS a. FAITH…and a GOOD CONSCIENCE ―The faith is a reference to the Christian faith, the gospel, the Word of God. Keeping the faith means holding fast to that revealed truth. Timothy's first responsibility to the Lord was to remain loyal to the objective body of revealed Scripture. A good conscience is the result of a pure life. Like Paul, Timothy was to maintain a blameless conscience. Conscience is a God-given device in every human mind that reacts to that person's behavior. It either accuses or excuses (Rom. 2:14–15). It produces feelings of well-being, peace, contentment, and calm when behavior is good. When behavior is evil, it activates guilt, shame, remorse, fear, doubt, insecurity, and despair. Its purpose is to warn the person of the fact that he is sinning. What a blessing to have such a warning device. It is to the soul what pain is to the body. Pain warns that something threatens the body's well-being. Guilt warns that something threatens the well-being of the soul. Paul was always anxious to have a clean, clear, pure, good conscience ( 2 Cor. 1:12) and desired the same for Timothy. He calls for holiness in this charge to Timothy.‖ T.M.N.T.C. ―Doctrinal purity must be accompanied by purity of life.‖ B. It is not enough to proclaim the faith with our lips; 1. We must practice the faith in our daily lives C. One man said of his hypocritical pastor, ―He is such a good preacher, he should never get out of the pulpit; but he is such a poor Christian, he should never get into the pulpit!‖ D. What a sad commentary on what I believe to be true among many modern day preachers! 1. A good conscience is important to a good warfare and a good ministry ―Because there is an inseparable link between truth and morality, between right belief and right behavior; consequently, theological error has its roots in moral rather than intellectual soil (Matt. 7:15–20). People often teach wrong doctrine to accommodate their sin. That truth is borne out by the immorality that so often characterizes false teachers (2 Peter 2). E. It's not surprising then that Paul emphasizes godliness 1. As a PREDOMINATE theme in 1 Timothy ―Sound doctrine and godly living are the twin towers guarding the purity of the church.‖ CONCLUSION: A. Paul exhorted Timothy vv18-19a; 1. ―you're in a Spiritual Battle‖ 2. The enemy is seeking to destroy you B. Two of his biggest targets will be 1. Your FAITH 2. And your CONSCIENCE

Wright Words: Summer homework — give thanks to early-morning seminary teachers, students
Last Friday, our family tucked in another year of early-morning seminary for the summer. It was the third year for my oldest daughter and, after nine months of rising at 5:15 each morning, she's earned the right to sleep a bit later this summer before her last journey begins anew in September.
What a journey it is!
For the Wrights, early-morning seminary has always been a family affair. Like my three older siblings, I attended seminary as a young man. As an adult, I've taught seminary in two different wards for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and learned to deeply love both the program and the students. Recently my mother ended her own long tenure as an instructor in her cozy living room in Charlottesville, Va., and my mother-in-law just completed her second year of teaching in Woodstock, Va.
Let's be clear: We absolutely love our youths wherever they live and however they attend seminary. We admire them whether they meet in a nice classroom in a building next to the high school during third period, or in a chapel, a basement or even at a kitchen table 30 minutes from home.
But consider for a few seconds — or in this case, paragraphs — the sacrifice made by LDS youths and teachers living away from traditional release-time programs.
Here in the Woodstock Branch of the Winchester Virginia Stake, some students drive nearly 30 minutes to attend a class that begins each day at 6:40 a.m. One drives over a dangerous mountain that separates his valley from ours. Because of the distance, students have no time to return home and must leave straight for school. In our branch, and in other wards across our large stake, some students must drive long distances past their own high school, only to return 50 minutes later to begin their school day.
In other parts of the church where release time from the school isn't an option because the facilities or number of potential students doesn't permit it, classes start even earlier. When I taught years ago in a northern Virginia ward, we began each day at 5:55 a.m. — and I am aware of classes starting as early as 5:30 a.m. This means that during much of the year, students walk into class in the cold, pitch-black morning air.
We can't forget the enormous sacrifice of parents. In many cases, students are either still too young to drive as underclassmen or the family can't spare a car. Mothers and fathers often drive children many miles only to sit inside on church couches, in parking lots or quietly walk neighborhood streets to pass the time. When class adjourns, they'll deliver children to school — sometimes to more than one when carpooling is possible — and finally tackle their own responsibilities of the day.
How about the instructors? They are simple, humble volunteers who haven't asked or applied for the calling. They are mothers, fathers, businessmen and women, doctors, nurses, retail clerks and emergency services workers. Rarely do they have teaching backgrounds or formal training, yet they immerse themselves with the Spirit and pour themselves into the material each and every day. They love the kids and they love the Lord. What more can we ask of them?

Description This invention is related to novel ultraviolet (UV) radiation-absorbing organo-silicone ester and ether molecules, in both monomeric and polymeric forms. Preferred methods for their production from silicone hydrides and organic UV absorbers and usage in coatings prepared via acid catalyzed alkoxysilane sol-gel synthesis on various glass (soda-lime, etc.) substrates are provided. Coatings on glass substrates, incorporating embodiments of the disclosed invention, aid in preventing UV radiation from degrading underlying articles. Numerous organic and inorganic compounds that absorb UV radiation have been described in the prior art. As used herein and in the accompanying claim, a UV absorber is defined to mean a compound that absorbs radiation of wavelengths starting in the near visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, around 400 nanometers to the so-called vacuum ultraviolet, around 200 nanometers in wavelength. These compounds are often used to protect items underlying transparent, semitransparent and/or translucent substrates from the degradative effects of ultraviolet radiation absorption. Applications include, but are not limited to eyeglasses, windows, and glass panes in paintings, art prints, and the like. UV absorbers coated onto glass for the protection of paintings, pictures, and the like are of particular importance with a view to the present invention. One class of polymers useful as matrices for UV absorbers are crosslinked polysiloxanes synthesized by sol-gel methods. As used herein and in the accompanying claims, reference to a �sol-gel� synthesis is intended to mean any method of preparation of a poly- or oligo-siloxane using hydrolysis of alkoxysilanes via acid, base, or other useful catalysts, e.g. coordination catalysts, to produce oligomer and/or polymers useful for preparing films and coatings. Polysiloxanes produced via sol-gel synthesis and applied in thin coatings are generally transparent to electromagnetic radiation in the so-called �visible� wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum where the human eye absorbs such radiation. However, it is generally recognized in the sol-gel reaction art that effectively dispersing and retaining organic-base additives such as radiation absorbers, is problematic. Organic UV absorbers are often insoluble in silane/silicone monomers and polymers and can require extensive mixing procedures to produce a uniform, albeit unstable, dispersion useful for various applications. Additionally, with a view to the prior art, monomeric UV absorbers are known to evaporate during heat processing which is required to finally cure siloxane systems. Further, monomeric UV absorbers often exhibit a yellow hue or color when they are not fully dispersed. This color effect can require correction by adding expensive dyes which further complicates the formulation and cost of a UV absorbing coating system. Finally, monomeric UV absorbers tend to both 1.) leach out of polysiloxane matrixes over time and 2.) deactivate via oxidative decomposition. One potentially useful method of retaining UV absorbers is to covalently bond them onto alkoxysilane monomers for subsequent incorporation into a polysiloxane matrix via sol-gel synthesis. Several chemistries have been utilized in this regard. One modified alkoxysilane useful in the preparation of certain classes of coating solutions is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,051,161 to Proskow, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Proskow discloses several alkoxysilane-benzophenone monomers prepared by reacting an alkoxysilane that contains an epoxide moiety with a hydroxyl group on a hydroxybenzophenone to form an α, β hydroxy-ether which covalently links the hydroxybenzophenone and the silane. Proskow's invention appears to be limited to monomeric species for incorporation into polymers containing polysilicic acid (e.g. silica) and hydroxylated fluorocopolymer systems. However, there are problems with and disadvantages to directly bonding an alkoxysilane modified UV absorber (e.g. a hydroxybenzophenone) into a sol-gel polymerized matrix as disclosed in Proskow. Without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, it is believed that, when monomers having multiple sets of multiply reactive groups (e.g. multiple trialkoxysilanes groups) are polymerized into a film-forming network, stresses can be generated throughout the forming film. These stresses can cause localized failures in coatings thus leading to premature film oxidation and loss of UV absorbers. Finally, because of their low viscosity, sol-gel polymerizations often require the addition of so-called �low control agents� to provide an increase in viscosity. These are typically higher molecular weight oligomers that are used for viscosity control during the monomer reaction and curing stages of film preparation. However, it would be desirable to eliminate these materials as they can cause potential negative effects in the ultimate physical properties of cured siloxane films, e.g. hardness. It is apparent from the foregoing discussion that improvements in the art of siloxane/silane sol-gel polymerizations related to the addition of functional additives are desirable. Those desirable improvements include, but are not limited to: (a.) the ability to uniformly incorporate organic-base UV absorbers into a silane matrix without reliance on variable mixing schemes and complicated preparation procedures, (b.) the elimination of additional colorants, (c.) minimizing or eliminating the addition of flow control agents, (d.) minimizing possible mechanical stresses in cured films, and (e.) minimizing the loss of additives, such as UV absorbers, caused by processing heat and environmental degradation. It is a purpose of the present invention to fulfill any and/or all of these needs as will be apparent from the following detailed disclosure of this invention. It is therefore one objective of the present invention to provide UV absorbers which can be uniformly incorporated into polysiloxanes, prepared by sol-gel reactions, to produce films and coatings having uniform radiation absorption characteristics. It is another objective of the present invention to provide UV screening monomers, macromers and polymers that resist volatilization and decomposition in curable compositions of alkoxysilane monomers. It is an additional objective of the present invention to provide UV screening monomers, macromers, and polymers which will exhibit low color in polysiloxane films curable on transparent, semitransparent, or translucent substrates. It is an additional objective of the invention to provide UV absorbing monomers, oligomers, and polymers that display behavior as flow control agents. It is an additional objective of the invention to provide benzophenoxy-alkoxysilane monomers that are capable of hydrolyzing into polymerizible silanols and unbound hydroxy-benzophenones when utilized in a silane based sol-gel polymerization. An additional objective of the invention is to provide alkoxysilane based film-forming solutions that are curable onto a substrate and will yield substantially insoluble polysiloxane films having uniform UV absorption characteristics. It a further objective of the invention to provide methods of preparing and using the disclosed molecules, macromers, polymers and coating compositions. These and other objectives are exemplified by certain non-limiting embodiments of the invention as disclosed in the following examples and descriptions. Reference will hereinafter be made to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals throughout the various FIGURES denote like elements, and wherein; FIG. 1 is representation of the structure of one of the embodiments of diepoxy-siloxane monomers whose synthesis is disclosed in Example 1 which is useful in preparing UV-absorbing siloxane/silane compounds; FIG. 2 is a representation of one of the embodiments of diepoxy-terminated alkoxy-siloxane monomers produced by the reaction scheme of Example 2 useful in preparing UV-absorbing siloxane compounds; FIG. 3 is a reaction scheme to produce one of the embodiments of a hydroxybenzophenone-epoxy siloxane polymer disclosed in Example 3. which can be used as an ultraviolet radiation absorbing material and/or as part of a curable film forming composition which absorbs ultraviolet radiation; FIG. 4 is a representation of a reaction scheme useful to produce embodiments of films incorporating poly (hydroxybenzophenone-co-diepoxy alkoxysilanes) (as disclosed in Example 3.) with additional organo silane monomers; FIG. 5 is a graphical representation of the total UV radiation absorption/transmission properties of the film produced according to the reaction and preparation scheme of FIG. 4; FIGS. 6(a) and (b) are representations of reaction schemes useful to produce embodiments of the alkoxy benzophenones disclosed in Example 5; FIG. 7 is a representation of the expected UV absorption characteristics of a sol-gel polymerized film prepared according to the reaction scheme in Example 5. and according to FIG. 6.(b) from Example 5; FIGS. 8(a) and (b) are representations of reaction schemes useful to prepare embodiments of the alkoxysilane-phenoxy benzophenone monomers as disclosed in Example 6; and FIG. 9 is a representation of a reaction scheme useful to prepare an alkoxysilane-based sol-gel film incorporating embodiments of the phenoxybenzophenone monomers disclosed in Example 6. and in FIG. 8.

Especially preferred organic alkoxides include, methyl, ethyl and propyl alkoxides. Siloxanes having at least 1 to about 10 Si�O�Si repeat units are preferred. An especially preferred embodiment is di-epoxy-siloxane monomers comprising about four or five siloxane repeat units, and at least one reactive organo-alkoxide wherein the organic alkoxide is methyl or ethyl-alkoxide. A preferred vinyl terminated organic group or compound also having an epoxy group is 3-glycidoxy-1-propylene. A second preferred embodiment comprises a condensation product of a di-epoxy-silane or di-epoxy-siloxane monomer with an aromatic UV absorber molecules having at least two aromatic hydroxyl groups reactive with epoxide groups. The reaction can be run to prepare a high polymer or produce dimer, trimer, tetramer or other higher -mer condensation products. The condensation product contains both UV absorbing repeat units and alkoxy-siloxane and/or silane repeat units. In a preferred embodiment, an oligomer is produced having from about 2 to 10 repeat units of the basic structure (e.g. hydroxy-benzophenone and siloxane groups covalently bonded) and has a number average molecular weight, MWn, of about 3000 to 4000 grams per mole. Still another preferred embodiment comprises siloxane repeat units having at least one organic alkoxide unit per siloxane repeat unit wherein the alkoxide is ethoxy and/or methoxy groups. A third preferred embodiment comprises the reaction product of a (multi)-hydroxy-benzophenone or a phenoxy-salt form with respectively a di-or tri-functional alkoxysilane or chloroalkoxysilane to form a hydroxybenzophenone-substituted alkoxysilane ether wherein the hydroxybenzophenone is attached to the silicon atom of the silane through an ether oxygen. In a preferred embodiment, the hydroxybenzophenone is or 2,2′ dihydroxy-benzophenone and the alkoxysilane is trimethoxymethylsilane or triethoxymethylsilane. A fourth preferred embodiment comprises a mixture of substituted alkoxysilanes and a hydroxybenzophenone-substituted alkoxysilane (HBAS) useful in sol-gel polymerizations initiated by acid or base or other suitable catalyst. In a preferred embodiment the alkoxysilanes are methyltriethoxysilane and phenyltriethoxysilane in a 1 to 1 molar ratio and the HBAS is a disubstituted hydroxybenzophenone bonded through hydroxyl oxygen, (thereby forming an ether linkage) to a methyltriethoxysilane. A fifth preferred embodiment comprises a film forming composition for an acidic sol-gel polymerized film comprised of substituted alkoxysilanes and a poly (hydroxybenzophenone-alkoxysiloxane). In an especially preferred embodiment, the substituted alkoxysilanes are a mixture of methyltriethoxysilane and phenyltriethoxysilane, and the polymer formed has a number average molecular weight, MWn of about from 3000 to 4000 grams per mole. A sixth preferred embodiment comprises a film-forming mixture of alkoxysilane monomers, hydroxybenzophenone-substituted alkoxysilanes, and a hydroxybenzophenone-alkoxy and/or alkyl-silane co-polymer useful for forming a substantially transparent polysiloxane film that efficiently absorbs UV radiation. These and other embodiments are disclosed in the following nonlimiting Examples. Anhydrous, dry tetramethyldihydrido siloxane, ((CH3)2HSi�O�Si(CH3)2H), available from United Chemical Technologies Inc, 2713 Bartram Road Bristol, Pa. 19007 or Sigma-Aldrich Chemical, PO Box 355, Milwaukee, Wis. 53201 is mixed at a molar ratio of at least 1:2 with a solution of allylglycidylether (or other sufficient quantity to ensure that a di-epoxysiloxane monomer is produced) in a nonreactive solvent. These compounds are reacted using a platinum catalyst system, such as platinum dispersed in an inert carrier solvent or a platinum compound such as chloroplatinic acid, over a temperature range of from about 30� C. to about 100� C., most typically about 50� C., to yield a di-epoxy-terminated siloxane monomer. Other useful catalysts and reaction conditions are described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,946,701 to Plueddemann, issued Jul. 26, 1960, the entire disclosure being hereby incorporated by reference. This reaction and product are illustrated in FIG. 1. An anhydrous solution of a siloxane oligomer having a molecular weight of ca. 438 grams per mole and the molecular formula C11H34O4Si5 having a reactive hydrogen atom bonded on two Silicon atoms is mixed at a molar ratio of 1:2 with a dry solution of allylglycidylether so that there are two ethers per siloxane molecule available for reaction. The siloxane is available from United Chemical Technologies Inc, 2713 Bartram Road Bristol, Pa. 19007. The reagents are reacted using a platinum catalyst system such as platinum dispersed in an inert carrier solvent or a platinum compound such as chloroplatinic acid at a temperature of about 50� C. A di-epoxide terminated alkoxy functional siloxane is produced. FIG. 2. is a representation of a reaction scheme useful to produce embodiments of the above. A di-epoxysiloxane from either Example 1 or 2 or both is reacted with a multifunctional functional aromatic hydroxyl-containing UV screening moiety under anhydrous conditions in the presence of a quaternary ammonium catalyst such as tetramethylammonium chloride; for example, a tetrahydroxy-benzophenone wherein the 4′ and 2′hydroxyl groups are both reactive such as 2,2′, 4,4′ tetrahydroxybenzophenone as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,051,161, issued Sep. 27, 1977 to Proskow and assigned to E. I. Dupont de Nemours and Company, the entire disclosure of which being incorporated by reference. A reaction will occur between the hydroxyl- and epoxide groups to form an alpha-beta hydroxy ether having alternating hydroxybenzophenone and di-epoxy-alkoxysilane moieties (i.e. a polymerization). Depending on the temperature chosen, the reaction is run from 2 to 10 hours, preferably 4 to 8 hours. The mixture changes into homogeneous, viscous oil on reacting. FIG. 3. illustrates this reaction scheme. About 3 grams of an oligomer prepared by the method of Example 3., having a number average molecular weight, MNn, of about 3400 g/mol is mixed into 10 grams of butanol and about 35 mls of propanol along with one gram of phenyltriethoxysilane and one gram of methyl triethoxysilane and sufficient water. The mixture is heated to about 50 degrees Centigrade until all the oligomer dissolves and the solution is uniform. The catalyst in the form of acetic acid, about 0.15 mls, is mixed into the solution in the form of a alcoholic mixture. The reaction of the silanes and the oligomer is allowed to run for between 4 and 12 hours as required by the final film properties desired. The reacted mixture is cast as a film on a cleaned, dry float glass substrate by coating to thickness using a doctor blade. The coated substrate is allowed to equilibrate in air prior to oven drying. The coated substrate is then dried in a heated oven at about 200-250 degrees for several hours to produce a hard, tack free, transparent film. During drying no visual indications of evaporation of benzophenone is apparent i.e. there are no yellow vapors given off as with formulations containing unbonded benzophenones. The film is tested for total ultraviolet radiation transmission, % Tu,v and found to display uniform UV absorption with concentration: monotonic with concentration. FIG. 5 displays the expected results. A coating solution is prepared using the method in Example 2 in U.S. Pat. No. 4,051,161-�2,2′,4,4′-Tetrahydroxybenzophenone/γ-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane 1:2 Adduct�. The resulting oil is mixed with the ratio of phenyl and methyl trimethoxysilane monomers used in Example 4 above. The reaction scheme is shown in FIGS. 6.(a) and (b). A flow control agent (BYK 375) is optional and is useful at levels up to about 3 weight percent of the total mixture. Films are prepared in the same manner as in Example 4, above. A transparent, hard film is produced. The film has UV absorption characteristics according to FIG. 7. Synthesis I: A solution of tetrahydroxybenzophenone (Aldrich Chemical) is treated with sufficient caustic, i.e. sodium hydroxide, to prepare a disodium phenolate salt. This salt solution is mixed at a two to one molar ratio with dichloromethylmethoxysilane (Aldrich, United Chemicals) to yield 2,2′ di-(dimethoxymethylsilyoxy), 4,4′dihydroxy-benzophenone having the structure shown in FIG. 8(a). Synthesis II: A solution of tetrahydroxybenzophenone is added along with a portion of trimethoxymethylsilane at a molar ratio of two to one. Introducing caustic soda and heating the system accomplishes the transesterification. The isolation is carried out via vacuum distillation, or fractional crystallization, from a mixture of solvents such as benzene and/or hydrocarbons such as heptane. FIG. 8(b) shows the reaction scheme useful to produce embodiments of the disclosed invention. A mixture of the title compound, triethoxymethylsilane, triethoxyphenylsilane, propanol, and water is prepared via intensive mixing to yield a homogeneous solution. Dilute acetic acid in water is added to initiate the sol-gel polymerization and liberate the bound tetrahydroxybenzophenone into the polymerized matrix at a rate that is dependent of the temperature and concentrations of the reactants. A temperature of ca. 50� C. is used to facilitate the reaction. The as-reacted solution is coated onto a glass substrate using a doctor blade and cured at a temperature of ca. 220 to yield a polysiloxane film wherein the UV absorber is not covalently bonded into the matrix and is evenly distributed throughout the matrix. While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
