What are you most proud of? Made myself a pattern and started to cut the fabric.When finished I had to make more of them immediately. My husband wears them as soon as they come out of the washingmachine.
I dont have "flatlock", but this is as close as I can get on my machine..
The link for "pattern details" does not work for me. How can I learn more about this item? I might want to try one for myself (a retired man trying to learn to sew garments).
Wow, flattering. Thanks a lot! Well - I kind of invented the pattern from some briefs that I liked at home. Perhaps I should think of a way to put out a pattern tha You could download. Would that be something??

Companies today are generating much more data than they can currently store and analyse; they're being overwhelmed with data. Many generate petabytes of information they aren't making the best use of. And not all of the data are alike. Some of it has value, and some not so much. The problem with data has been the difficulty in analysing what companies currently have and the time and expense involved in using conventional systems to process data.
There has been a buzz around "Big Data" as a way to resolve these issues and to help businesses get better information quickly, so they can make better business decisions.
Business intelligence (BI) and analytics have been around for some time. So how does Big Data differ from BI and analytics?

In the blink of an eye Emma Llanas sews up a tear in a pair of shorts and in no time it almost looks like it was never there. This skill is something that Emma picked up as a young girl while fixing clothing with her family. Now she hopes to use this talent to launch her own business reports The Brownsville Herald.
The odds may be against her, but a group of community organizers think they can turn her into an entrepreneur.
In May, Llanas and 15 other low-income women living in Hidalgo County colonias received startup grants to help them launch their own home-based businesses.
Part of a program dubbed "Latina Hope," the awards aim to prove that with a little outside investment, extremely small business ventures can prove successful even in a difficult economy.
"Most of these things start off in some way as a hobby," said Eduardo Millet, vice president for business development at the McAllen Chamber of Commerce. "But in a few years, who knows? It could expand from there."
"A lot of these ladies did some of these things already – seamstress work, home decor, sold items at local flea markets," said Janie Caballero, an adviser with the UTPA Small Business Development Center. "They just weren't used to thinking about them in a business sense."
The trick, she said, was teaching them to stop thinking of their work as a hobby and start approaching it with the zeal of an entrepreneur. It was a transition that didn't come easy.

AA TEMPORARILY PLUGGING AN EARTH FORMATION WITH A TRANSIENTLY GELLING AQUEOUS LIQUID RELATED PATENT APPLICATION The present application is a continuationin-part of patent application Ser. No. 256,507 filed May 24, 1972, now abandoned which was a division of patent application Ser. No. 62,931 filed Aug. 11, 1970, (now abandoned). It is also related to the E. A. Richardson US. Pat. No. 3,614,985, which describes an earth formation plugging liquid containing an aqueous solution of a metal that precipitates as a gelatinous metal hydroxide at a relatively high pH and a reactant that raises the pH of the aqueous solution to cause the precipitation. The present application relates to a relatively high pH and a reactant that raises the pH of the aqueous solution to cause the precipitation. The present application relates to a liquid in which such a metal and such a pH- increasing reactant are combined with a pH-decreasing reactant which lowers the pH of the aqueous solution and subsequently causes a dissolution of the precipitated metal hydroxide. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to temporarily decreasing the permeability of a permeable material. More particularly, it relates to temporarily plugging a permeable earth formation by an in situ formation of a gel that subsequently reverts to a free-flowing liquid. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention realtes to temporarily plugging a permeable earth formation. A transiently gelling liquid made up to contain a substantially homogeneous mixture of an aqueous solution of a salt of a metal which precipitates as a gelatinous metal hydroxide at relatively high pH, a reactant that reacts at a selected rate to increase the pH of the aqueous solution and cause the precipitation, and a reactant that reacts at a relatively slower rate to subsequently lower the pH of the aqueous solution and cause the dissolving of the precipitated metal hydroxide. The compositions and proportions of the pH-increasing and pH- decreasing reactants are correlated so that, at a given temperature, the precipitation occurs within a selected time and forms a gel that tends to immobilize the solution, the gel breaks after a selected period, and the solution becomes relatively mobile. At least a portion of the earth formation to be plugged is permeated with the solution before the gel has formed. The solution is kept substantially static during the persistence of the gel and, after the breaking of the gel, is displaced from the earth formation. DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIGS. 1 and 2 are schematic vertical sectional illustrations of two stages of a workover operation in a dual completion well. FIGS. 3 through 5 are similar illustrations of three stages of a perforation cleaning operation. FIGS. '6 through 8 are similar illustrations of three stages of a hydraulic fracturing operation. FIGS. -9 and 10 are similar illustrations of two stages of a selective acidization of a relatively impermeable portion of a reservoir interval. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is particularly useful in temporarily plugging subterranean earth formations into which wells have been completed. For example, in various well completion situations, a multiple zone well may be equipped with a casing string which is perforated in at least one upper and one lower reservoir interval. In various operations in a multiple zone well; it is desirable to vary the pressure of the fluid within the casing without causing fluid to flow into or out of one or more of the reservoir intervals. Such operations may involve fracturing the lower reservoir interval by pressurizing the fluid in the casing, cleaning the well by displacing sand or debris from below an upper reservoir interval by circulating fluid through the casing to a surface locations, or the like operations. In other situations a well may be opened into a reservoir interval that contains layers having different permeabilities. In the latter situation it may be desirable to preferentially acidize or displace residual oil from the least permeable one of such layers. A preferential-treatment can be accomplished by injecting a transiently gelling fluid into the reservoir interval. In such an interval most of the injected fluid tends to enter and penetrate deepest into the most permeable layer. The soinjected transiently gelling fluid is allowed to gel. Subsequently, a treatment fluid is injected into the interval and is deflected, by the gel, into the least permeable layer. The gel later reverts to a free-flowing liquid. The present transiently gelling fluids can also be used in well testing and various other operations. For example, in one type of injectivity profile well logging operation, a discrete slug of relatively cool liquid is injected into a relatively hot reservoir and measurements are made of the rate of the temperature recovery in order to determine the injectivity profile of the reservoir. A transiently gelling fluid of this invention can be advantageously used as the liquid which is injected. It is adapted to gel, and thus prevent the formation of convection currents during the temperature recovery. It is also adapted to subsequently revert to a free-flowing liquid. The present transiently gelling fluids can also be used to temporarily plug or stabilize various permeable materials, such as the sand of a foundry mold, or the like. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a use of the invention in a workover in a well completed into upper and lower zones of permeable earth formation. Well borehole 1 contains cement sheath 2 and string of casing 3. The borehole is opened into fluid communication with upper and lower zones 5 and 6 of permeable earth formations by means of perforations 7 and 8 through the casing and cement. In FIG. 1, a tubing string 10 is equipped with a bottom cap 11 and a packer l2 and arranged for injecting fluid through the perforations 7. Transiently gelling fluid 13, in its initial liquid state is injected, as is indicated by arrows, into the region 14. A downflow within the borehole is prevented by packer l2 and an upflow is prevented by means of an additional packer (not shown) and/or by maintaining a back pressure on the annulus within casing 3, (i.e., the space between tubing 10 and easing 3). . Transiently gelling fluid 13 is maintained static until it becomes gel 16 (FIG. 2) comprising a precipitated galatmous metal hydroxide. The gel is removed from the relatively large spaces within the borehole by a procedure such as a fluid circulation with an inflow through tubing and an outflow through the annular space between the tubing and the casing. Such a fluid circulation disrupts the structure of portions of the gel that are contained in the relatively large openings within the borehole, entrains the gel, and conveys the entrained gel to a surface location. This leaves the borehole open while the region 14, within the earth formation 5, is plugged by gelatmous metal hydroxide gel 16. In the relatively small pores within a permeable earth formation, the gel 16 is resistant to displacement in response to a relatively high pressure differential. In the operational stage shown in FIG. 2, tubing'l0 has been replaced by a string of tubing 17 which is extended to near the perforations 8 leading into the lower zone 6 of permeable earth formation. As indicated by arrows, fluid may be circulated, with an inflow through tubing 17 and an outflow through the annulus between that tubing and casing 3, to entrain and remove solid particles 18, such as sand or debris. Such a fluid circulation is apt to involve fluctuations, in the injecting and- /or flowing pressures, which could cause undesirable inflows or outflows of fluid through the upper perforations 7. In using the present invention, such inflows or outflows are prevented by the presence of gel 16 in the zone 14 around the perforations. The gel 16 subsequently reverts to a free-flowing liquid that can be produced into the borehole or displaced further into the formation where it does not interfere with the operations of the well with respect to the upper zone. FIGS. 3 through 5 show a use of the present invention in a procedure for cleaning each of a plurality of perforations that open into a reservoir interval and being certain that each of the perforations has been cleaned. A cased borehole 21 is opened into a reservoir 22 through perforations 23 and 24. Such a casing is preferably surrounded by a sheath of cement (not shown) with the perforations being extended through the casing and cement. In FIG. 3, a string of tubing 26 surrounded by packer 27 has been installed with the packer set to plug the annular space between tubing 26 and casing 21. In the illustrated stage of the operation, the region 28 around perforation 23 and the region 29 around perforation 24 have been plugged with a gelatmous metal hydroxide gel 16. During such a plugging operation, a slug of transiently gelling fluid is injected, at a downhole pressure greater than the reservoir pressure but less than the reservoir fracturing'pressure. Where one or a plurality of perforations (and/or the perforation tunnels extending through a cement sheath) is relatively highly permeable (e g., perforation 23 is cleaner and more permeable than perforation 24), most of the injected fluid flows through the more permeable perforation and permeates a relatively large zone (e.g., zone 28) around the clean perforation with only a small zone (e.g., zone 29) being permeated around the less permeable perforation. In FIG. 4, gel 16 is being removed from the borehole. Tubing string 26, with packer 27 unseated, has been extended to near the bottom of the perforated interval. Fluid is circulated with an inflow through tubing 26 and outflow through the annulus around it, as shown by arrows. The circulating fluid breaks up the gel structure and entrains the broken-up portions of the gel 16 where the gel is unsupported in the relatively large openings existing within the borehole. In FIG. 5, the packer and tubing string have been relocated and reset, in the positions shown in FIG. 3, and a second slug of temporary gelling fluid 13 is being injected. During such an injectiomwhere a relatively large and relatively pressure resistant plugged zone 28 exists around one perforation and a much smaller plugged zone 29 (as shown in FIG. 3), exists around another, two events tend to occur. First, no fluid injection occurs at the injection pressure used in the prior injection of transiently gelling fluid. Second, after the injection pressure has been increased to a higher pressure (less than the fracturing pressure), the small plug in and around a debris plugged perforation (e.g., perforation 24) is displaced and fluid enters the surrounding zone 31. If substantially no fluid injection occurs at such an increased pressure, it is likely that (a) all perforations were clean and were plugged around during a previous injection of transiently gelling fluid or (b) the plugging material in any perforations which are still plugged is embedded too firmly to be removed without fracturing the reservoir. The gel 16 subsequently reverts to a free-flowing fluid that can readily be displaced when the well is returned to normal operation. FIGS. 6 through 8 show a use of the invention in forming, extending and propping a fracture. In FIG. 6 a cased borehole 32 is opened through perforations 33 into reservoir 34 which has some, but a limited amount of, permeability. Such a reservoir may either be one which tends to fracture horizontally (as shown) or one which tends to fracture vertically. In the stage shown in FIG. 6, a fracture 35 has been formed, e.g., by injecting fluid through tubing 36 extended through packer 37, and is being held open by the pressure of a transiently gelling fluid 13 that is flowing into the fracture and the surrounding zone 38 as indicated by arrows. In the stage shown in FIG. 7, the fluid injected into zone 38 has been kept stationary until it formed gel 16 and the gel that formed within the borehole has been removed. A fracturing fluid is being injected as shown by arrows to form a fracture extension 39 from which the fracturing fluid is leaking into the reservoir in the zone 41. Leakage through the fracture walls near the reservoir is prevented by the gel plug 16 in zone 38. In the stage shown in FIG. 8, a granular fracture propping agent 42 is being pumped into the fracture as shown by arrows. The fracture propping material suspending liquid leaks into' the zone 41 and displaces fluid from that zone into the expanded zone 43. Leakage near the well is prevented by the gel 16 in the zone 38. The gel facilitates the transporting of fracture propping material for a relatively long distance within the fracture by preventing the leakage into the fracture walls that tends to cause sand-outs or depositions of the fracture propping material. The gel 16 in the zone 38 subsequently reverts to a free-flowing fluid that is readily displaced when the well is used for the injection or production of fluid. FIGS. 9 and 10 show the use of the invention in a process for selectively acidizing a layer of lesser permeability within a reservoir interval that contains layers of different permeabilities. As shown in FIG. 9, the well contains a perforated casing 44,'a tubing string 45, and has been pretreated by injecting a transiently gelling liquid and allowing it to form a gel 16 within'the portions 48 and 49 of the reservoir formation. The reservoir interval includes oil sand layers 46 and thief zone layer 47. Since the oil sands are less permeable than the thief zone, they are permeated and plugged only to the depths 48, which are small relative to the depth 49 of the plugging in thief zone 47. l In the stage shown in FIG. 10, an acidizing fluid 51 is being injected as shown by the arrows. Such an acidizing fluid can be substantially any relatively strong mineral and/or organic acid formulation, such as the acidizing fluids conventionally used for increasing the permeability of an earth formation. The acidizing fluid can be prevented from rising within the annulus between tubing 45 and casing 44 by maintaining back pressure by means of surface located equipment or downhole packers (not shown). The pressure at which the acidizing fluid is injected exceeds that used to inflow the transiently gelling fluid but is preferably less than the reservoir-fracturin g pressure. A so-pressurized injection of fluid tends to displace portions of the relatively thin plugs in zone 48 without displacing the relatively thick plug in zone 49. As acidizing fluid 51 flows through the gelled metal hydroxide in zones 48, it tends to dissolve the plugging material and most of the acidizing fluid tends to be guided around the undisturbed plug in zone 49 into the relatively impermeable oil zones, as indicated by the arrows. The undisplaced and undissolved portions of the'gel 16 subsequently revert to a free-flowing liquid. The transiently gelling fluid of the present invention I can comprise substantially any relatively homogeneous liquid mixture that is adapted to penetrate into the pores of a permeable earth formation and contains an aqueous solution of at least one multivalent metal that precipitates as a gelatmous metal hydroxide at relatively high pH, at least one pH-increasing reactant which reacts at a relatively rapid rate to form at least one alkaline material that increases the pH of the aqueous solution and at least one pH-decreasing reactant that reacts more slowly to form at least one water soluble acidic material that decreases the pH of the aqueous solution. The transiently gelling fluid can be a clear solution, a micellar dispersion, or an emulsion containing a dispersed phase in which the particles are sufficiently small and mobile to move through the interstices within a permeable earth formation. The aqueous liquid solution of a metal which precipitates at relatively high pH in the form of gelatmous metal hydroxide can comprise a solution of substantially any salt of such metal which is soluble in an aqueous liquid having a moderately low pH and is precipitated from an aqueous solution of a moderately higher pH. Such salts are preferably soluble in a pH range of from about 2 to 7 and precipitated at a pH from about 7 to 10. The preferred salts are typified by the chloacid halides, N-alkylamides, urea, salts of cyanic acid, such as alkali metal cyanates, cyanamide, etc. Urea and potassium cyanate are particularly suitable reactants that increase the pH of an aqueous solution by producing ammonium hydroxide at rates which are suitable for use at temperatures commonly encountered in subterranean earth formations. Where desirable, a buffer system, such as a dissolved mixture of a weak acid and its salt of a strong base, can be used to facilitate and/or control the adjustment of the pH of the solution. For example, a substantially equal molar mixture of acetic acid and sodium acetate will maintain a pH of from about 4.5 to 5.0 as long as both components are present. Such a mixture can be used to extend the time required for the ammonia released by the hydrolysis of urea-to raise the pH of the solution. The first portions of the ammonia are used up in depleting the components of the buffer and the attainment of the pH at which the metal hydroxide is precipitated is delayed by the time required to overcome this effect. The pH-decreasing reactant can be substantially any relatively slowly reacting material (preferably a watersoluble material) which yields a watersoluble acidic product that decreases the pH of an aqueous liquid. The relative amounts and rates of each of the pH- increasing and pH-decreasing reactants are adjusted by coordinating the types and amounts of such reactants so that the aqueous solution first gels and becomes immobile, as the pH increases to a value at which a gelatmous metal hydroxide is precipitated, and then breaks and becomes a mobile fluid, as the pH decreases and the metal hydroxide is dissolved. The concentration of the respective metal salt and pH-increasing and pH- decreasing reactants can be varied over relatively wide limits. Such concentrations can range from as little as about 0.1 percent by weight to an amount (which may be as high as from about 30 to percent) that forms a saturated solution. Suitable pH-decreasing reactants are exemplified by the'hydrolytically-reactive halogenated organic compounds described in the solvolysis acidization process U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,215,199; 3,297,090; and 3,307,630; esters such as esters of water-soluble organic or inorganic acids, such as formic acid, acetic acid, chloroacetic acid, acids such as phosphoric, sulfuric, nitric, etc., with water-soluble alchols, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, or the like reactants. Relative to the plug formation and plug dissolution reactions the pH-triggered transiently gelling fluids of the present invention are uniquely advantageous. During the plug formation, the viscosity and flow properties of the fluid remain substantially unchanged while the pH is slowly increasing. When the precipitation inducing pH is reached, substantially all of the dissolved metal becomes insoluble in substantially all of the aqueous liquid. The change from a free-flowing liquid to an immobile gel is relatively sudden. During the plug dissolution, the rigidity and insolubility of the gel remain substantially unchanged while thhe pH of the aqueous liquid component is slowly decreasing. When the metal dissolving pH is reached, substantially all of the precipitated metal hydroxide become soluble in substantially all of the aqueous liquid component. The change from an immobile gel to a free-flowing liquid is both relatively sudden and complete. The transiently gelling liquids of the present invention are characterized by certain readily determinable properties. These properties can be evaluated from test tubes by visual observation. In general, a test solution is placed in a test tube, sealed and immersed in a waterbath. Time is taken as zero at the moment'of immersion in the bath, without allowance for warm-up At intervals the contents of the tube and the following observations are made. 1. IPT (Initial precipitation time). A transiently gelling fluid of the present invention is usually a clear, water-white solution, having a density and viscosity ap proximating that of fresh water. At the time its components are mixed in the laboratory or blended in a field operation, such a solutionhas a pH of from about 3 to 6. The reaction of typical pH-increasing reactants, such as the hydrolysis of urea and KCNO, cause the pH to rise until a gel forms, at a pH of about 6.5. The time, at a given temperature required to form the gel is referred to as IPT. The gel usually forms relatively quickly. The solution usually remains clear until the gel forms. The pH of the gelled liquid continues to rise until the pH-increasing reactant is spent. 2. GET (Gel Break Time). When the pH-increasing reactant is essentially spent, the rate of its production of base becomes about equal to the rate of production of acid by the pH-decreasing reactant, such as a hydrolyzing ester or organic cloride. The pH of the liquid thus becomes steady and eventually begins to drop as the rate of the base production continues to diminish due to the continued depletion of pl-l-increasing reactant. At a pH of about 6.5, the gel begins to break as a large unit, even though many large patches of gel may still be present as well as some individual suspended solid particles. The Time at a given temperature required for the gel to start breaking is referred to as GBT. Thus, the GET contains the lPT plus a period of time during which the solution or precipitate-containing liquid was firmly EXAMPLE 1 An aqueous solution containing about 2 grams of KOCN per 100 cc is blended with an equal amount of an aqueous solution containing about 4.4] gram per 100 cc of AlCl,-, 6 H and 29.4 cc per lOO cc ofa 3% aqueous solution of ammonia. A 100 cc portion of that blend was mixed with 6 cc of ethylformate and 2 cc of an aqueous 3% ammonia. This yielded a transiently gelling solution having a pH of about 5.7 and containing a ratio of equivalents of pH-increasing reactant to pH- decreasing reactant of about 0.3. At about 140F, this solution exhibits an IPT of 5 minutes, a GBT of 3 hours, and a CT of 6 hours (at which the pH is 4.5). EXAMPLE 2 A transiently gelling solution was prepared as described in Example 1, except that a 100 cc-portion of the blend of pH -increasing reactant and metal salt solutions was mixed with 4 cc of ethylformate, 2 cc of ethyl acetate, and 4 cc of a 3.7 percent hydrochloric acid. This yielded a transiently gelling solution having a pH of about 4.9. at 140F, this solution exhibited an IPT of 20 minutes, a GBT of two hours, and a CT of 8 hours (at which time a faint haze was apparent). EXAMPLE 3 A transiently gelling solution was prepared substantially as described in Example 1 except that the KOCN reactant was replaced by urea and the blend of the pH- increasing reactant and metal-containing solutions was mixed with ethyl alcohol. At about 190F. the resultant transiently gelling solution exhibited an IPT of 2 hours, a GBT of 2 days, and a CT of greater than about 6 days (relative to a solution containing only a faint haze). EXAMPLES 4 AND 5 An oil-in-water emulsion containing, respectively, about 2 cc of allyclchloride, 0.3 cc anionic surfactant (Triton GR-7, available from Rohm and Haas), and 1 gram KOCN per cc of water, was blended with an equal amount of a metal salt containing aqueous solution of the type described in Example 1. The blending provided a transiently gelling liquid of the present invention in the form of an emulsion. The results of testing that liquid at two different temperatures are indicated in the Table l: i The results of measuring the viscosity as a function of time during the course of a gel-break cycle, in order to illustrate the type of changes occuring in a transiently gelling liquid of the present invention, are indicated in Table II. Since such a gelled system is highly non-Newtonian, the viscosity values are a function of arbitrary conditions of measurement and the numerical values have only a qualitative significance. An aqueous solution containing about 1 gram KOCN per 100 cc was blended with a metal salt-containing solution as described in Example 1. A 100 cc portion of the blend was mixed with 5 cc methylacetate and 0.2cc aqueous 3% ammonia. This yielded a transiently gelling solution having a pH of about 5.3.

The solution remains at a high viscosity until about 1,200 to 1,700 minutes has passed, giving a GBT of 1,700 minutes. A slow drop continues until t= 6,900 minutes, when essentially the original viscosity is reached. However, the pH does not go low enough to give a clear solution as dispersed colloidal solids too fine to settle are noted in the solution.

The relative proportions are preferably such that the amount of urea is at least the stoichiometric equivalent for increasing the pH of the aqueous solution of the aluminum chloride to a pH at which aluminum hydroxide is precipitated, and the amount of ethyl acetate is at least the stoichiometric equivalent for reducing the pH of an aqueous liquid containing the products of reaction of the aluminum chloride and urea to a pH at which the precipitated aluminum hydroxide is redissolved. What is claimed is l. A process for temporarily plugging a permeable earth formation, which comprises: compounding an aqueous liquid solution, of from about 0.1% by weight of a saturated solution of each of (a) at least one salt of a polyvalent metal that is soluble in an aqueous liquid of pH from about 2 to 7 and precipitates as a gelatinous metal hydroxide when the pH of the aqueous liquid is increased to from about 7 to 10 (b) at least one water-soluble, water-reactive reactant which increases the pH of the aqueous liquid and causes said precipitation and (c) at least one watersoluble, relatively slowly water-reactive reactant which yields a water-soluble acidic product that decreases the pH of the aqueous liquid and causes the dissolution of the precipitated metal hydroxide; adjusting the relative amounts and rates of each of said pl-l-increasing and pH-decreasing reactants and reactions by coordinating the types and amounts of said'reactants so that the aqueous solution first gels and becomes immobile, as the pH increases .to a value at which a gelatinous metal hydroxide is precipitated, and then breaks and becomes a mobile fluid, a the pH decreases and the precipitate is dissolved; permeating an earth formation with said aqueous solution before the occurrence of said precipitation; maintaining the'fluid substantially static within the earth formation until the precipitation occurs; and k after the occurrence of said dissolution of precipitated metal hydroxide, displacing fluid from the sotreated earth formation. 2. The process of claim 1 in which: the permeated earth formation is an upper zone of a multiple zone well, and fluid is circulated within the well'while said upper zone is plugged with the precipitated metal hydroxide. 3. The process of claim 1 in which: the permeated earth formation is the formation adjacent to at least the most permeable one of a series of substantially adjacent perforations through the casing of a well, after said precipitation of metal hydroxide, but before said dossolution of metal hydroxide, the precipitated hydroxide is displaced from the perforated portion of the casing, and at least one additional portion of said transiently gelling fluid is injected into the earth formation adjacent to any of said perforations through which such fluid will flow in response to a pressure that exceeds the pressure at which the preceding portion of said fluid was injected but is less than the fracturing pressure of the surrounding earth formations. 4. The process of claim 1 in which: the permeated earth formation is one that forms the wall of a fracture, and said fracture is extended and propped while its walls are plugged with said precipitated metal hydroxide. 5. The process of claim 1 in which: the permeated earth formation is the most permeable portion of a reservoir interval containing'formations of different permeabilities, and a treating fluid is injected into said reservoir interval while the most permeable portion is plugged'with the precipitated metal hydroxide. 6. A process for temporarily plugging a permeable earth formation which comprises: compounding a substantially homogeneous liquid consisting essentially of an aqueous solution of a salt of a metal that precipitates as a gelatinous metal hydroxide when the pH of the solution is increased, a pH-increasing reactant that reacts at a selected rate to increase the pH of the aqueous solution and cause the precipitation, and a pH- decreasing reactant that reacts slower than the pH- increasing reactant to subsequently decrease the pH of the aqueous solution and cause a dissolution of the precipitated metal hydroxide; adjusting the compositions and proportions of said pH-increasing and pH-decreasing reactants so that, at a given temperature, the precipitation occurs within a selected time and forms a gel that substantially immobilizes the liquid, the gel breaks after a selected time, and the liquid becomes relatively mobile; permeating at least a portion of the earth formation to be plugged with the liquid before the gel has formed; maintaining the liquid substantially static during the persistence of the gel; and after the breaking of the gel, displacing the liquid from the earth formation. 7. The process of claim 6 in which a buffering agent is dissolved in said aqueous solution. 8. The process of claim '6 in which said pH-increasing reactant is awater-soluble material that reacts with water to yield an amino group-containing material. 9. The process of claim 6 in which said pH- decreasing reactant is a water-soluble ester that reacts with water to yield a water-soluble acid. 10. The process of claim 6 in which the pH- increasing reactant is a mixture of urea and an alkali metal nitrite. Patent Citations

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes Keep Things Hot in Cold NYC
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes dressed in layers for a walk in NYC this afternoon. The couple spent the weekend in the Big Apple, taking walks in Manhattan and enjoying the end of the Thanksgiving break. Work brought them together romantically on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines during the Summer of 2011, and they'll be side by side in the run up to the picture's release next year. Ryan and Eva got things started on the red carpet back in September, when they premiered The Place Beyond the Pines at the Toronto International Film Festival. Ryan's got more movies to promote before theirs, though. His Gangster Squad hits theaters in January. This month has also been a big one for Ryan and Eva — Ryan turned 32 just a few weeks ago.

Children's food guru Annabel Karmel slams airline food calling a British Airways salmon salad 'the driest thing I've ever eaten'
Leading children's food writer Annabel Karmel has criticised airlines for serving 'horrible' food on flights.
The UK's best-selling author on baby and children's food said airlines frequently 'destroyed' food by overcooking it and said many parents 'don't trust' meals served on planes. She also criticised the lack of healthy snacks on flights, saying too often junk food was offered to passengers.
BYO? Many parents just 'don't trust' airline food, says Karmel
She told MailOnline Travel: "Airlines should be able to provide good food for children. I think it
will get better but currently it's pretty unhealthy.
"A bag of crisps, maybe biscuits and some dried-out food. It's pretty horrible and a lot of parents bring their own food because they don't trust it. If it was improved, parents would much prefer it, rather than having to carry their own food with them."
Ms Karmel said a recent British Airways flight had left her in no doubt that airlines were failing customers when it comes to food onboard planes.
Mile-high food misery: Airlines are making huge mistakes when it comes to designing menus that can by enjoyed at 30,000ft, says Annabel Karmel, and are better off buying food in the airport before flying
"I was
served what they called a 'salmon salad'. It was a piece of warm, salmon
fillet - I have never eaten anything as dry as that. Really horrible. Everything we ate was really dry. It's horrible and you
end up eating it because you're so bored but I would never normally eat
something like that.
"Salmon - fish - with no thought is a disaster, it will never be right. Salmon needs to be slightly cooked for around eight minutes. If you're heating it for 20 minutes, it'll never be good. How anyone could think that would be a good meal on a plane is beyond me."
She added: "I don't think it's that difficult to do. It's just about having the
right recipe to begin with, it doesn't need to be any more expensive.
They get it so wrong - they make things that would never withstand
Karmel also doesn't hold back when it comes to breakfast services. "Omelettes end up dry as a bone, scrambled eggs are congealed. Airlines would be better off serving a croissant and cereal. You can very rarely get eggs right on a plane."
Feeding demand? The airline said new research showed Cadbury's was preferred over expensive luxury chocolates on flights
The criticism comes as British Airways released research on what their passengers like to eat at 30,000ft. The airline said 'butter chicken curry', Cadbury's chocolate and lager were all hits with flyers but that requests for healthier options, such as peppermint tea and sparkling water, had also increased.
A BA spokesman defended their in-flight food, saying: "We're disappointed that Annabel Karmel didn't enjoy her dining with us on her recent flight and apologise if her meal wasn't up to our usual high standard.
"British Airways is committed to constantly improving the menus for our customers, so they can chose from a range of dining options from healthy to indulgent.
"We always source fresh food wherever we can and ensure our suppliers provide us with produce with local provenance and have worked hard to reduce salt and remove all hydrogenated fats.
"We test all our menu's before they
go on our flights, with an in-house team of professional chefs and a
tasting panel to maintain our high quality."
British Airways defended its in-flight meals, saying it always sourced fresh food where possible
Karmel said that there was lots more that carriers could do to improve food for children and that she was already working with an unnamed airline.
"Forget starters. Do a really nice main course that can be heated up and
not destroyed. A hidden vegetable spaghetti bolognese can be brilliant - using something
like penne because it's more robust.
Pringles, sir? easyJet said it would be introducing a new range of salads on board this week
"Mum's happy because she knows the child's getting one of their five a day. The child's getting their favourite meal - spaghetti bolognese ticks most boxes of what most children like. It'd be a really good meal."
It isn't just long-haul carriers that could improve, says Karmel. "You go on easyJet and it's extra to buy Pringles or a Heinz tomato soup that's just about passable. [A sandwich might be] white bread with a bit of cheese and ham in it, it's disgusting and you pay extra for it. Why not have granary bread or something like a chicken salad? It could be done. I'm on holiday I want to have a treat!
easyJet spokesperson said the airline's food offering 'has been
carefully put together to cater for a wide variety of budgets and
legacy airlines, we offer our passengers the flexibility to choose from
a comprehensive range of sandwiches as well as snacks like tasty
couscous and lentil savoury pots. For our younger passengers we do offer
a snack pack which includes healthy snacks as well as little treats.
"We let our passengers decide whether they would like a healthy option or a slightly more indulgent one and our customers are also welcome to bring their own food onboard."
The low-cost carrier said it would be introducing more salads and organic drinks to services from this week.

You may remember Sou Fujimoto Architects radical House NA from this video we shared with you last November. Designed for a young couple in a quiet Tokyo neighborhood, the 914 square-foot transparent house contrasts the typical concrete block walls seen in most of Japan's dense residential areas. Associated with the concept of living within a tree, the spacious interior is comprised of 21 individual floor plates, all situated at various heights, that satisfy the clients desire to live as nomads within their own home.

HA Tower / Frontoffice + Francois Blanciak
The HA Tower, designed by Frontoffice + Francois Blanciak, proposes a hybrid model for urban life that embraces the city, pulling it in the heart of the units, while still offering large open spaces that otherwise are only available on the urban fringe. Located in Higashi-Azabu, within walking distance of a cluster of rail lines, Shiba Park, and the iconic Tokyo Tower, the corner site is small, covering only 130 square meters and is constrained by a floor area ratio that limits construction to 8 floors.

Jax is an amazing DPS character who does a lil burst damage every few seconds, however more and more people want him to do alot of damage with his W and Q and so they get no attack speed items cus they think that jax's ultimate's passive will make them attack faster, this is where the problem lies imo. In team fights u cannot expect to get 10 stacks of jax's ultimate because noone wants jax attacking them for so long. You get the picture. so people think he is useless in teamfights and only good in 1 on 1. His counterstrike makes good enough CC in teamfights and if still stunning people every few seconds for a short period of time doesnt make you happy, then GTFO and play a nuking mage because this DPS is not for you, simple

I don't know how many Jax feed nowaday. Riots you did that so wrong. BUMP
Dear DarkApple, can you tell, me how many games have you been playing as Jax?? Btw, I haven't found your name in ladders, what is your ELO?
Junior Member
Jax needs buffs, not nerfs.
Jax is still pretty dominant at the pubstomp level, which is a problem a bit like tyrndamere. Or Eve. Or Twitch. How do you buff a champ that already flat out dominates games for a large portion of your players? Most of the solo queue normal games i play in, Jax gets fed, and dominates pretty hardcore. I have yet to see him do well in a ranked game though, and I'm pretty far down in elo, and if he's bad there, he's got to be even worse higher up.

Thanks - Looks like my first robot is not going to be moving as quickly as I had hoped.The motors infact have HEDS-5505 encoders on them. Just need to figure out how to use them...Can this be done using just the H-bridge and the Atmega8 via software or do I need some sort of motion control processors like the LM629?

The target of Mitch's ridicule sinks low under the brim of a Malcolm X baseball cap and fixes his bemused stare on the few chess pieces that still stand before him, struggling to reckon with the incontrovertible truth of a checkmate. "Any way I make it I can't get out of it," mutters Rodney, as he restores the pieces to an earlier position and tries to figure out where he went wrong. He reaches for his can of Ballantine Ale and brings it halfway to his lips before he realizes it's empty. "I can't get out of it."
"What you say?" Mitch catches the opening bass riff of Curtis Mayfield's "Pusherman" as it slides out of the two dusty speakers that sit on the barbershop floor. "Whadyousay?" He shuffles back toward the table, cupping his hand to his ear and feigning deafness.
"Any move I make," Rodney mumbles, no louder than before, "I can't get out of it."
"These guys," says Mitch, pointing at two men leaning intently over another board, "when they beat me I'm all ears, 'cause they bad! But this guy...." He jabs a finger toward Rodney. "You can kick him, hit him upside the head, knock him down, and he still won't admit it." He exaggerates a sigh and helps Rodney reset the pieces for the fourth of their late-afternoon confrontations.
"Professor" Ted Lampkin, the shop's 40-year-old proprietor, stands at his familiar post behind his barber's chair, smiling his benign smile on the cycle of celebration and defeat and tending to a troublesome boy who squirms uncooperatively mid-cut. Currently the headquarters of the predominantly black Miami Knights Chess Club, Professor Lampkin's Barber Shop in Opa-locka plays host to some of the most aggressive, colorful, and masterful chess in South Florida. Rarely does an hour pass when at least one of Lampkin's several chess sets isn't locked in furious battle, whether commanded by experts or fumbled by eager schoolkids.
For as long as Lampkin can remember, there's always been a chess set ready to go in his shop, back when the business was housed in North Miami, and even before that, when it was located several blocks away from its present site in this impoverished, predominantly black city that is perhaps best known to outsiders for its junkyards and extraordinarily high crime rate. The chess custom, Lampkin will point out, evolved from another time-honored tradition in many black barbershops, where checkerboards were nearly always a part of the furniture.
But the establishment is something greater than an arena for cerebral and street-savvy gamesmanship. As caretaker of a disappearing tradition A the neighborhood barbershop A Professor Lampkin and his shop serve as a nexus of local gossip and opinion, and a sanctuary for men seeking refuge among their own. "The barbershop is a meeting place, a place where men can come to exchange ideas or work off their frustrations under a nice lather and shave," Lampkin says. "Over the years we black people didn't have many places to hang out. Barbershops have always been hangouts. Someone's got to keep the tradition alive."
Afternoons bring the best players to the shop as the men get off work, and the games invariably continue well after Lampkin lowers the blinds at 6:00 p.m., pulls the front door shut, and cranks up the air conditioner. Competition is tough, trash-talking irrepressible. "I got Red talking over here, saying he's going to win this game," scoffs a middle-age auto-body mechanic and Miami Knights Chess Club member whose friends call him Zay. The men are battling in the endgame, and Zay, who is considered one of the club's superior players and who holds a United States Chess Federation rating of about 2000 (an "expert" in USCF parlance; players earn ratings by playing in USCF-sanctioned tournaments) is down two pawns.
"I'm going to win the game." Red flashes a mouth full of gold.
"He saying like he gonna win this game. Ha! You hear that 'Fess? He saying like he gonna win."
The men face each other at a ten-foot-long folding buffet ringed by collapsible metal chairs. Just big enough to lay out four boards in a row, the table is the focal point of the narrow shop, which is modestly furnished and slightly disorganized in the way of a bachelor's apartment. Several customers, all of them men, rest in various states of consciousness in the waiting area near the front of the shop. Scattered here and there are objects that serve no apparent purpose but have become so much a part of the surroundings that they probably won't ever be removed: an empty candy dispenser falsely promising M&M's, jellybeans, and after-dinner chocolate mints; a defunct cash register; and an empty rack for the distribution of the used-goods classified magazine Show & Sell, the sort found at the entrances to supermarkets. A black-and-white television, broken for weeks, still sits in an alcove in the wall.

Doing what: Chicago Dinner Cruise
first we got transferred to the dinner cruise from the lunch cruise. was easy to do and very friendly. tickets and seats ready when we arrived. fantastic. service started right away. put a glass down, staff filled it right away. wow. because the table next to the window was empty, they moved us there. Great Move. Excellent customer relationship. Service made me feel as if I were a president. they always checked if we needed something, removed dishes once we finished that course. always smiling and friendly. now about the food.
hated it, i mean i hated to stop eating it. The best meal I have EVER had. My friends find I am a food expert. It was heavenly. the crew on my cruise should be given pats on the back. although they would more than likely want a raise instead.:) Thank you very much. dave and edith jones

The water taxi is a great way to see Chicago at the river level and downtown buildings off of Lake Michigan. We have been to downtown Chicago many times but this is the first time getting around to Navy Pier and the Field Museum by water taxi .It was relaxing and very enjoyable.

Hi guys,
I've collected a few of these over the years but this is the first I've had that has it's original box. I don't really collect Masonic jewels but I've always been drawn to the Royal Masonic Institute for Girls 1927 jewel, I suppose for it's military look and it being made from sterling silver.
I've come to realise that I know nothing about this jewel or Masonic pieces in general, just what were they "awarded" for and when were they worn and by whom?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

"easy to use no pop up windows"
support is great to help if you have problem running on trial version. I did have trouble running at first but with some help was able to use. Automatically runs all programs as untrusted which means it is safe to surf. Like sandbox but no pop up windows to decide to trust. If want to download trusted program you run in trusted with a click. Little resources used as of 2 days of use on my xp comp.
I would like desktop icon added automatically when install. Now go to programs to click to run. But small issue if leave on all the time.

Results of the complex analysis of the unique natural territory of Greater Sochi from the point of view of physical geography are considered. The region of Greater Sochi is located on the S slopes of the Main Caucasus chain on the eastern coast of the Black Sea. Morphometrical analysis of the relief and analysis air surface temperature and precipitation allowed to distinguish four specific subregions within the whole territory. It is demonstrated that the period of stable snow cover in the two subregions which occupy more than half of the region's area is sufficient for successful development of winter tourism. Peculiar combination of the mild climate of the coast with stable snow cover in the mountains till the beginning of summer provide strong attractivity of the region for all-the-year-round tourists inflow to the most modern recreational centre of Russia. The work provides the methodology for similar studies.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are hoping to make a sequel of 'Daredevil' together.
The smitten couple, who met on the set of the action film and married earlier this year, are expecting a baby – but hope to collaborate on a possible follow up after their child is born.
Jennifer said about a possible 'Daredevil 2′: "Ben says it's in the early stages but he is hopeful.
"It would be fun to work together again – not to mention convenient."
Meanwhile the star couple have sparked rumours they want to name their unborn baby daughter Violet.
Sources claim the 'Alias' beauty left a baby book in her trailer on the set of her latest film, 'Catch and Release', with the name 'Violet' highlighted. Last month, it was revealed they are reportedly expecting a baby girl.
A source claimed they let slip the secret of their unborn baby's sex while in the Turks and Caicos Islands, where they married.
According to America's In Touch magazine, Ben was overheard saying to his new wife: "My mom wants to know what we're going to name her, but I say, 'What does it matter what she's named if she has a healthy granddaughter?'
"Our baby will be perfect"

Jo's Boys
Best known for the novels Little Women and Little Men, Louisa May Alcott brought the story of her feisty protagonist Jo and the adventures and misadventures of the March family to an entertaining, surprising, and bittersweet conclusion in Jo's Boys. Beginning ten years after Little Men, Jo's Boys revisits Plumfield, the New England school still presided over by Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer. Jo remains at the center of the tale, surrounded by her boys—including rebellious Dan, sailor Emil, and promising musician Nat—as they experience shipwreck and storm, disappointment and even murder.
Popular for over a century, Alcott's series still holds universal appeal with its powerful and affectionate depiction of family—the haven where the prodigal can always return, adversity is shared, and our dreams of being cherished, despite our flaws, come true. In this edition of Jo's Boys, readers once again experience a treasured classic by one of America's best-loved writers.

I just gave this the initial skim, and MAN is it brutal; the entire thing is a meat grinder mixed with lots of post-WWI historical awesomeness - in other words, exactly what you expect from this subject matter cranked up for level 13+ pathfinders. Well done!
So the big questions are: will pawns and AP/PFS scenario maps move over as well. If so, you just made a big fan out of me, despite the limitations. The ability to plunk down the maps and pawns for Rise of the Runelords AE with no prep time is a pretty impressive selling point. Throw in the maps from the comics and things get even better.

if you don't mind paying $250.00:
D23 Disney Exclusive Charter Year Tinker Bell Pin - eBay (item 170315197898 end time Apr-25-09 08:08:44 PDT)
Pretty sad actually - I have mixed feelings about the way someone bought this and is selling it at such an inflated profit. I love free market and all - and I also believe that a fool and his money are soon parted. But this kind of gouging from a D23 member is bad form in my opinion. Someone paid $75 to be a D23 member, they bought pin that was intended for members only and they've shown what a "great" Disney fan they are by attempting to turn a quick 1250% profit. This is sad.
