US 2901813 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) United States Patent TEXTILE MATERIAL OF REGENERATED CELLU- LOSE CONTAINING A POLYACRYLAMIIDE Joseph W. Schappel, Morton, Pa., assignor to American Viscose Corporation, Philadelphia, Pa., a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Application October 20, 1953 Serial No. 387,322 '5 Claims. (CI. 2882) This invention relates to an improved textile material of regenerated cellulose, such as fibers, filaments, yarns, fabrics and the like, which contain certain polymers of acrylamide. This application is a continuation-in-part of my copending application Serial No. 266,243, filed January 12, 1952, now U.S. Patent No. 2,858,185, granted October 28, 195 8, which discloses the production of regenerated cellulose fibers containing such polymers of acrylamide and claims the treatment with formaldehyde of the regenerated cellulose fibers and fabrics made therefrom which contain such polymers of acrylamide. The fibers containing the polymers of acrylamide have improved properties. Particularly important are the re duction in wet elongation, and sometimes of the dry elongation of the regenerated cellulose fibers, and the increase in stillness of such fibers without embrittlement thereof. In some cases, there is an appreciable reduction of Water-retention. These improved properties of the fibers and filaments impart to yarns and fabrics made from such regenerated cellulose filaments a fuller and crisper hand or feel as compared to regenerated cellulose yarns and fabrics which contain no polymers of acrylamide. They also impart to ordinary knitted or woven fabrics an improved resistance to wrinkling and to pile fabrics, when the fibers are incorporated in the pile, such as in carpets, rugs, plushes or velvets including transparent velvets, a markedly improved crush-resistance as compared to fabrics containing ordinary regenerated cellulose fibers in the pile. The improved textile materials are produced by incorporating into the cellulosic spinning solution, such as cuprammonium cellulose solution or viscose, a polymer of an acrylamide as defined hereinbelow, at least 30% by weight of the monomeric units of which contain amide groups, extruding the spinning solution into a coagulating and/or regenerating bath, passing the coagulated and/ or regenerated filament structures through customary purification procedures and drying. The purification treatments may be those usual for the particular spinning system. For example, when spinning viscose containing the polymer of an acrylamide, the filaments after coagulation or during coagulation are regenerated, such as in a dilute-sulfuric acid bath, stretching being performed in conventional manner either during or after coagulation. The subsequent treatment may involve washing, desulfurization, rinsing, bleaching, rinsing, applying a soft finish and then drying. When spinning cuproammonium cellulose solutions, the usual after-treatment system may be applied after coagulation, regeneration and stretching. The drying may be eifected in the normal manner, such as by passage through a tunnel drier in which heated air at about 140 F. is supplied. However, the drying or a portion of it may be eifected at higher temperatures with increased elfect on the properties of the filaments, yarns and fabrics mentioned hereinabove, that is, in respect to the hand, stillness, reduction in elongation, wrinkle-resistance and crush-resistance. For example, these properties may be enhanced byincluding within the drying, or by following it with, a period of heating for a duration of 3 to 30 minutes at a temperature of about C. to C. The improvement in the properties mentioned is obtained without this higher temperature treatment but, in many cases, the improvement in such properties is greatly enhanced when this higher temperature treatment is employed. The term an acrylamide is used in the specification and claims hereof as a generic expression for the restricted class of related compounds defined in more technical fashion as follows: a mono-amide, having a single unsaturated carbon to carbon bond, of an acid of the group consisting of acrylic acid and alpha-alkylor beta-alkydsubstituted alpha-methylene monocarboxylic acids, and N-alkyl substituted derivatives thereof, the alkyl substit uents consisting of methyl, ethyl, and both methyl and ethyl, the amide having only a single carbonyl group attached to the N atom. These acrylamides have the general formula: in which each of R, R R R and R are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, and ethyl radicals, and may be the same or different than one or more others of the group. The term acrylamide polymer or polymer of an acrylamide is intended to be generic to homopolymers and copolymers of the compounds just defined, whether they are produced directly by polymerization or copolymerization or indirectly by hydrolysis, saponification, or other reaction upon a previously produced polymer or copolymer. When copolymers are used, at least 30% by Weight of the monomeric units in the copolymer should contain amide groups. The polymer may be produced (1) by polymerizing or copolymerizing acrylamide itself or a substituted acrylamide (within the definition hereinabove), or (2) by hydrolyzing a polymer of copolymer of acrylonitrile or an alkyl-substituted acrylonitrile, such as methacrylonitrile, to produce a polymeric product in which at least 30% of the monomeric units comprise amido groups. The polymeric products may be produced by standard solution or emulsion polymerization techniques such as in the presence of a peroxy catalyst such as potassium persulfate. When copolymers are used, the monomeric unit other than that containing the amide group may be, or may be considered to be derived from, any other ethylenically unsaturated monomer, such as vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinyl alcohol, acrylic acid, acrylonitrile, methacrylic acid, methacrylonitrile, vinylidene chloride, ethylene, etc., or mixtures thereof. Also, in using method (2), the hydrolyzed product may contain nitrile and/or carboxyl groups as well as amido groups if it is derived from polyacrylonitrile or from polymethacrylonitrile. It may also contain other groups, such as hydroxyl and/ or acetate groups if derived from copolymers, such as a copolymer of acrylonitrile and vinyl acetate. Polymeric amides of relatively high molecular weight may be used and those polyacrylamides which, in concentrations of 10% in water containing 1% of isopropanol by weight have a specific viscosity of 300 centipoises to 6000 centipoises are preferred. The acrylamide polymers are long-chain linear substances and although they are water-dispersible at the time they are added to the viscose, and are added in the form of their water dispersions, there is no scumming of the bath or other evidence that they are leached out during spinning or after-treating. Apparently the linear structure of the polymeric amides causes them to become tangled or meshed with the eel Patented Sept. 1, 1059 3; lulosic chains of the viscose whereby they are restrained from being leached out by the coagulating and other aqueous baths. At the same time, their linear structure permits them to flow and align themselves with the cellulose chains during extrusion of the mixture and stretching of the article for orientation. The textile material may contain from 1 to 15% by weight of the polymer of an acrylamide, the balance being substantially all regenerated cellulose. The preferred proportion is from 5 to in pile of carpets and from 10 to for ordinary fabrics for imparting improved resistance to crushing and resistance to wrinkling in the respective fabrics. While the polymer of an acrylamide may be introduced into the viscose or cuprammonium cellulose solution at any time before spinning, it is preferred to inject the polymer into the stream of viscose as it flows to the spinnerets so as to reduce the time during which the polymer is maintained in an alkaline medium. To facilitate the introduction of the polymer into viscose, it may first be dissolved or dispersed in water. If desired, the polymer dispersions may also contain viscosity-increasing substances, such as alkaline solutions of water-soluble or water-insoluble cellulose ethers, e.g., hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, carbomethyl cellulose, and ethyl cellulose which have the degree of substitution and may be used in the proportions specified in my copending application Serial No. 308,296, filed September 6, 1952, now U. S. Patent No. 2,796,656, granted June 25, 1957. Other substances may be incorporated in these aqueous dispersions, such as dyes, pigments; spinning assistants for inhibiting incrustation and clogging of the spinnerets, such as lauryl pyridinium chloride, ethylene oxide condensation products of higher fatty alcohols, such as of lauryl alcohol; viscose coagulation retarders or accelerators, such as triethanolamine or diethylamine in a proportion of one to four millimoles or more than 100 grams of viscose, and so on. The viscose used may have any spinnable composition. For example, it may be a normal viscose having a sodium chloride salt test value of from 3 to 6, containing from 6 to 9% cellulose, from 6 to 9% sodium hydroxide and of normal spinning viscosity, i.e., having a ball fall viscosity of 35 to 50 seconds at 18 C. The setting bath into which the modified viscose is extruded may be a coagulating and cellulose-regenerating bath of the composition normally used in the manufacture of fibers or yarns from viscose. Aqueous baths containing from 7 to 13.5% sulfuric acid and from 18 to 28% sodium sulfate are satisfactory. The bath may also contain comparatively small amounts, for example, from 0.1 to 5% of zinc sulfate, as well as small amounts of other adjuvants or assistants. If it is desired to produce selfcrimpable fibers of the type described in US. 2,517,694 to Merion and Sisson, viscoses and spinning baths as described in that patent may be used. The invention is also adapted to the production of modified shaped articles, and especially filaments, by the two-bath process in which the modified viscose is extruded into a coagulating bath which ertects little, if any, regeneration of the cellulose, and the article comprising cellulose xanthate is subsequently treated with a celluloseregenerating medium, stretching of the film, filaments or the like being efiected before or during the regeneration stage. The following examples in which parts and percentages given are by weight unless otherwise stated, are illustrative of the invention. in ail cases, the tests were made on the yarns after conditioning them at 58% relative humidity and 70 F. The test for water-retention is more or less standardized and involves soaking the yarns in water, centrifuging them to remove the excess water, and weighing the yarns. The difference between the weight of the conditioned yarn prior to the soaking and centrifuging and the Weight of the centrifuged yarn expressed as a percentage of the conditioned weight of the yarn is a measure of the water-retention capacity of the yarn. The specific conditions under which this test is performed may vary somewhat. In the present case, the conditioned yarns were soaked for 15 minutes in distilled water at room temperature, wrapped in a cotton muslin fabric, soaked in water for an additional 15 minutes at room temperature, and then centrifuged for 3 minutes in a centrifuge having a diameter of 17 inches and rotating at a speed of 1800 r.p.m. EXAMPLE I A hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile in which about 60% of the monomeric units contained carboxyl groups, about 30% contained -CONH and the balance contained nitrile groups was introduced into a viscose containing 7.4% cellulose and 7% caustic soda so as to provide 5% hydrolyzed polymer based on the weight of cellulose. The viscose was aged to a salt point of 5.9 and spun at 60 meters per minute into :a coagulating and regenerating bath containing 10% sulfuric acid, 4.5% zinc sulfate and 22% sodium sulfate maintained at a temperature of about 50 C. The filaments had a 13-inch immersion in the spinning bath. The filaments, after leaving the spinning bath, were stretched 40% between godets. After completing the regeneration, desulfurizing, bleaching and appropriately washing, one portion (hereinbelow designated A) was dried at room temperature, another portion (hereinafter designated B) was dried at C. and a third portion (designated C hereinafter) was dried at 100 C. and then heated to C. for 30 minutes. The resulting groups or portions had the following properties as compared to a regenerated cellulose control yarn (containing no polyacrylamide) dried at 100 C. temperature. Tablel Percent Percent Elongation Water Retention Dry Wet EXAMPLEII A copolymer of 50% acrylonitrile and 50% acrylic acid was introduced into a viscose having the same composition as in Example I to provide 5% of the copolymer on the weight of the cellulose. After ageing to a salt point of 6.4, the viscose was spun into a coagulating bath of the same composition as given above. After purification of the yarns, in a manner similar to that of Example I, several portions A, B and C were dried as in Example I. The yarns had the following properties: Table 11 Percent Percent Elongation Water Retention Dry Wet EXAMPLE III were purified as in Example I and dried at 100 C. (por- 5 tion B) and heated to 150 C. for 30 minutes after drying at 100 C. (portion C). The yarns had the following properties: Table III Percent Percent Elongation Water Retention Dry Wet EXAMPLE IV An aqueous dispersion of polyacrylamide was injected into a stream of viscose containing 8% cellulose and 8% caustic soda aged to a salt point of 6.1 in such an amount as to supply parts by weight of the polyacrylamide to 90 parts by weight of cellulose in the mixture. The mixture was spun into a coagulating bath containing 7% sulfuric acid, 1% zinc sulfate and 21% sodium sulfate at 50 C. Spinning was at 60 meters per minute and after leaving the spinning bath, the filaments were stretched 67% while being subjected to a 90 C. dilute acid bath, the size of the holes in the spinneret being selected to produce filaments. having a size of 3 denier each. The filaments were cut to 2-inch staple fiber lengths and subjected to the conventional after-treatment and dried at 120 C. The fibers were highly crimped as the result of the correlation of the composition in the spinning bath with the composition of the cellulose, and stretching and relaxation after cutting in accordance with the principles of U.S. Patent 2,517,694. The dried crimped fibers were spun into yarns of the size 20/1 (cotton system). The yarns were woven into a 54 x 52 plain weave construction. After desizing, scouring and rinsing, the fabrics were dried in relaxed condition on the tenter and finished thereon as a 66 x 58 cloth count fabric. A control fabric made from regenerated cellulose fibers of the same constitution (except for the lack of the acrylamide polymer) was tested along with the acrylamide modified fabric for wrinkle-resistance. The recovery angle of the control fabric was only 116 whereas the average of two fabrics made from the acrylamide polymer containing regenerated cellulose fibers gave a recovery angle of 135. EXAMPLE V Fibers were spun as in Example IV except the conditions were adjusted to produce filaments of a size corresponding to denier each and they were cut to 3-inch staple lengths instead of 2-inch lengths. The polyacrylamide was injected in proportions to provide 5% by weight of polymer to 95% by weight of cellulose in one batch and 15% polyacrylamide to 85% cellulose in another batch. Yarns were made from both batches on the woolen system of a size corresponding to 1.08/2 run (woolen system). These yarns were woven as the pile into a standard Axminster 7-row 189-pitch construction. After burling, shearing, backsizing, and steaming, they were dried under conditions which included heating at 175 C. for a period of about minutes. The thickness of the carpet was 0.4 inch. Fabrics made from the yarns containing 5 and 15% by weight of the polyacrylamide were tested along with a wool fabric and a fabric of regenerated cellulose made in the same way but without the introduction of an acrylamide polymer under severe service conditions, that is, by placing the carpets within a narrow corridor through which numerous persons traveled back and forth and necessarily walked over all four carpets. The initial thickness of each carpet was the same and the thickness of the carpet was periodically tested after 4, 6 and 8 weeks of the service conditions. The measurement of the thickness of carpet at these periodic intervals was made at each of three pressures, namely, 0.1, 1.27, and 11.5 pounds per square inch. The luxury index was then determined for each carpet by determining the residual compression or the difference in thickness between the 1.27 and the 11.5 pound per square inch load at equilibrium crush conditions (that is, when the maximum extent of crushing as a result of service had been obtained). These residual compression values were then converted into comparative values by arbitrarily assigning the luxury index of to wool. The higher the luxury index, the more crush-resistant is the fiber. The following values were obtained: It is to be understood that changes and variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. I claim: 1. As a new article of manufacture, a crush-resistant textile comprising a regenerated cellulose fiber containing, distributed throughout the fiber, 1-15% by weight based on cellulose of a highly polymerized water-dispersible linear polymer of a monoamide of which at least 30% by weight of the monomeric units contain amide groups, said monomeric units having the general formula: I ia l t; R in which each of R, R R R and R are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, and ethyl radicals, the linear structure of the polymeric amides causing them to become tangled or meshed with the cellulosic chains of the viscose whereby they are restrained from being leached out by the coagulating bath during spinning. 2. The article of claim 1 wherein the polymer is polyacrylamide. 3. The article of claim 1 wherein the polymer is a 50-50 copolymer of an acrylamide and acrylic acid. 4. The article of claim 1 wherein the polymer is a hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile in which about 60% of the monomeric units contain carboxyl groups and about 30% contain amide groups. 5. The article of claim 1 wherein said crush-resistant textile is a pile fabric.

Founded in 1999 by the late Rev.
Billy Bell, Clinton Christian Academy was the fulfillment of his vision to provide parents an alternative to public schooling where children can study faith, as well as academics.
Started at the behest of several parents in the Church with a sizable donation from outside our congregation, CCA continues to grow each year.
This year, we have a total of thirty students, two full time teachers, one part time teacher, our principal Rev.
Tim Butler, and several volunteers.
It will be exciting to see what the future holds for CCA with such a strong, well-grounded, and committed faculty.
It is the purpose of Clinton Christian Academy to educate students in Truth and Righteousness, and in so doing, support the family and local Bible-believing churches, provide quality education, instilling in each student honesty, integrity, hard work, and personal commitment and assist families in the process of leading each child to a personal commitment to Christ.

"This card is absolutely adorable. Excellent quality. It's cute and has space for multiple photos. It has a very pleasing color combination with orange, yellow, brown, purple and black-- perfect for Halloween. What I really like is the sweet "halloween greetings" banner that is simple and straightforward and enhances, rather than detracts, from the photos. Those who received our card wanted to know where we found such an awesome design that doesn't feature the usual garish clip-art-ish rubbish found in most other halloween cards! A+."
"I chose this thank you card since it was more sophisticated and classy. I didn't want kid-like trucks and animals with bold colors for boy. The small photo on the left is subtle. Lovely. I reordered."
"This is my son's first Halloween and I wanted something to commemorate it with and so that his grandparents and aunts could have a memory. This card was perfect! I'm even putting one in his scrapbook."
"We did a collage for our Puppy and it worked out perfectly. Also, the quality of the card and color was more than great! Thanks a lot!"
"Too quality card with the ability to edit and create your own wording! Arrived quickly and perfectly:) just as we envisioned for our 7year old's halloween party!"

it is often hard for me to figure out who is who, in emails people use their real names
on forums it is often common to use all sorts of alias names, I never really understood why, since I always use real name or my call signs OZ2CPU, so all people know who I am no matter where I write online. I need to learn double names to all people who email me :-) so please dear friends, when you email me, remember to say your forum alias, so I know what to respond, or start from the beginning.. also please be kind to think about, I get sometimes ALOT of mails in a very short time, it can be hard to track them all correctly, and now mix them up a bit or forget a few things, specielly when all ask more or less about the same, and some even have the same first name and such, I dont have super powers.. at least not that kind :-) |

Anyway I found out something interesting with the newer tx firmware you sent me. (At least I never noticed it before). If I end the ppm stream from the controlling transmitter (remove the trainer plug), but keep power to the TSLRS Tx, it doesn't initiate a failsafe in the receiver. Only if I remove power from the TSLRS Tx. Is this normal? It's not a problem, just wondering. |

At approx 2/3rds normal flight range I had interference then a little further again without RTH engaging. My TSLRS and 3S battery are on my Patch Antenna and connected to the 8FG via cable to the buddy box connection providing PPM and ground. When in use the 8Fg is powered by its on battery and RF set to not transmit. If I Power Off the 8FG the LR RX does not enter Failsafe. If I remove power from the TSLRS at the Patch Antenna the Rx Failsafe works. Hope thats of use |
Feb 01, 2013, 07:07 PM | |
Do batteries affect the LRRx and antennas? On my spider the ideal location for the RX is just ahead of the batteries with the coax running down each side and the whips in an angled Vee behind. I have small lengths of tape supporting the grounds as shown on the support page. Are antenna tubes OK? Is pointing down better than pointing up?

Thanks Thomas good to know the limitation. I was lucky as it was a Quad carrying full AP equipment onboard and it pancaked onto soft ground.
The Quads Failsafe system normally would have it hold station for a short time on signal loss allowing time to either power up the TSLRS or engage RTH if no signal. |
Feb 04, 2013, 06:03 AM | |
you know what Barney and Billy, try to test this again, but at a bit more distance,
maybe take off tx antenna to see my point, in case PPM is lost, but power to the TX remain with latest 402 firmware, the tx will actually turn off the amplifier stage, so power will be micro watts, if you are a bit away, the RX should recall failsafe. |

Hi ...
I'm currently having trouble with my current UHF system .. and I'm considering the Thomas scherrer UHF system and I really appreciate some quick answers to the following inquiries to help me make a decision 1-Can I update the firmware whenever a fix is released ? 2-How can I use a head tracker with TSLRS ?? Thanks a lot Khaled |

Hi Thomas!
I have a Tx V6 to work with a DX18 radio, but I´m confused about the connections between the RVOSD and the Rx. Have you some graph that helps me to understanding the connections? Including the RSSI Edit: One cuestion more: Can I use a single Tx with two (or more) Rx?? (Thomas Obviosly). Each one mounted on different plane. (sorry, my English is´n good) Thanks! Jezuz |

Rubber Retro Bygone Stampers (1935) (2010)
Hollywood Rubber Stamp
Most people head to Hollywood Rubber Stamp to get a custom-made stamp quickly, at prices starting at just $7. Prop masters for films including National Lampoons European Vacation have sought its services whenever they needed to literally make a mark on set. Unknown to many visitors, however, is the history of the desolate building. During WWII, the premises was used to pack parachutes and the staff was rumored to have included Marilyn Monroe, before she became famous. The rubber stamp operation moved into the building in the mid-50s and hasnt changed its appearance since. Unpolished wooden walls and timeworn, long-defunct machinery bought as early as the 30s create pure nostalgia. Lending a touch of retro are autographed headshots of 80s celebrities including stars of TVs The A-Team. Add the reliably warm, well-mannered service and youre in for a retail experience that is truly from a bygone time. 6564 Santa Monica Blvd., Hollywood. (323) 463-3111, hrsco.com. Noelle Loh

It's been widely understood, and more than intimated by head coach Don Nelson, that Keith Smart will be the Warriors next head coach. But Nelson's possible departure and the recent shake-up in the coaching ranks has brought up an interesting question.
Should the Warriors stick to their plans of annointing Smart as the successor? Or should they go out and get one of the names that are available?
Honestly, it's a tough call. The names are enticing. Avery Johnson, who was introduced as coach of the year just two years ago. Mike D'Antonio, who is reportedly but unofficially out in Phoenix, has mastered the system similar to the one the Warriors play. Sam Mitchell, who may get fired in Toronto, was last season's coach of the year and one of the young talents in the league. Flip Saunders may be on his way out, too.
These are all winning coaches. Avery and D'Antoni (if he becomes available) Playoff coaches. Avery has been to the Finals. D'Antoni has been to the West Finals. They couldn't get their team to a championship, which is why they are (likely) out, but they have gotten their team to the playoffs regularly, which is the next step for the Warriors.
If you are Chris Mullin, do you go out and get a proven coach who can take this team to the next level? Or do you stick with the groomed assistant who knows the system, the organization and COULD be one of the next young coaching talents?
As tempting as it is to go nab one of those vets, it may be more beneficial to go with the guy who is familiar to the franchise. A new guy would have to a spend a year or two getting accustomed to the team, to the franchise, to the media, to the fans. There's a whole feeling out period that needs to go on, which could cost the Warriors a season of progress. True, it may be a necessary price to get to the ultimate goal, but that may not be the best thing coming off missing the postseason. True, it may take Smart as much or more time to get used to being the head man. But he may just be able to smoothly step in, as did Avery.
Another reason I'd say go with Smart is the cost. Smart is cheaper than Avery or D'Antoni (should he become available), and could turn out to be just as good. Remember, Avery and D'Antoni were young, unknown commodities when they first took over. They stepped into to great situations and thrived. If Smart can do the same, and it's set up for him to do so, they Warriors will get the same results for much cheaper. That money is better served going towards the luxury tax they'll have to pay to bring in some help.
As tempting as it is to get the proven commodity, I'd say stick to the plan. Stick with Smart.
Chris Webber
Inside: The End
Emptying out the notebook at the sooner-than-expected conclusion to the Warriors' season:
** Just as Don Nelson is unrepentant regarding l'affaire Baron, Chris Mullin is equally OK with the waste of time, money, energy and resources that was Chris Webber's Warriors comeback. Before they signed him, I said on KNBR that "the guy can't run," and I saw no evidence to dispute that theory while he was with the Warriors.
The recognition of the need to add another rotation player to a rapidly tiring team was good; settling for a guy that clearly gummed up the works in his season debut – which just happened to be the Chicago loss on Feb. 7, a game where the visiting Bulls were missing their top three players – was not.
Nevertheless, Mullin gave an immediate "no" when asked if he thought the Webber fixation cost his team any games.
"I think we may have won that Boston game (because of Webber), actually," Mullin said. "I thought he did a good job in that game (on Feb. 20). I thought he played well. Baron made that incredible shot, but I thought defensively, (Webber) helped us that night."
** Mullin was in pretty good form, humor-wise, during his season-ending chat with print reporters on Wednesday. Among the highlights was his response to a reporter noting that Baron might want "17, 17, 17 and 17," referring to a three-year extension on top of his $17.8 million salary for the upcoming season.
"That's a good number," Mullin said. "I like the number 17, especially if it wasn't just my (uniform) number. If that was the going salary (when Mullin played), that'd be pretty sweet."
As for who will represent the Warriors at the draft lottery on May 20, Mullin knows one thing – if past history with the event counts for anything, he won't be the one in the chair in Secaucus, N.J.
"From that standpoint, I shouldn't do it, because the first year they had it, it was the worst (outcome), the booby prize," Mullin said, referring to the initial lottery of 1985, when the Warriors were denied a shot at No. 1 pick Patrick Ewing despite a league-worst 22-60 record and ended up with a certain lefty out of St. John's. "They could have got (No.) 1 through 7, and they got 7. So I'm a bad candidate."
** Nelson said last week that he made the determination as early as training camp that he'd have to ride the Baron/Jack/Monta triumvirate into the ground in order to compete for a playoff spot. What about guys like Austin Croshere and Troy Hudson, the veterans brought in to firm up the Nos. 9 and 10 spots on the roster? Couldn't they have been some sort of stopgap measure?
"Do you have any idea who you're talking about?" Nelson said. "Were you hoping that those guys rise up? They're at the end of their careers, they were never great players anyway, and now you're going to ask them to rise up and all of a sudden be something special? At best, they're a good veteran."
** The trade-Al-Harrington door swings both ways. While the team mulls over its future with Al – and decides whether his $9.2 million price tag might be better spent on other roster priorities – he will ponder if he wants to endure another season of Nelson's pointed needling or wants to demand a change of address instead.
That's not to say Harrington is undeserving of blame, but he certainly bore a disproportionate share of Nellie's insults. And though Al is too much of a pro to ever admit it, it was clear from watching him that he's frustrated at being the team's designated whipping boy.
** Stephen Jackson gets the last word. Asked about the urgency to win during what Nelson says will be his last year (assuming he comes back), Jackson couldn't help for laughing: "I love Nellie. I hear something different from y'all every week with Coach."

Webber a Hall of Famer?
His numbers stack up among some of the best. He certainly had Hall of Fame talent. His impact on the game – changing the way we look at power forwards in this era – is rare.
But Webber is not a Hall of Famer. Sorry. He was a great player. But I find it hard to place him among that elite group. There very specific reasons he doesn't belong.
*He never won. Never even played in an NBA Final
*He had a reputation as a diva, a coach killer. True or not, that's how Hall of Fame voters will view him. He won't ever pass the Hall of Fame citizenship test.
*Michigan scandal. Remember, it is the Basketball Hall of Fame, not the NBA Hall of Fame. His NCAA violations, which cost Michigan their Fab Five records, factor into play. That's a stain that is too hard to hide.
Webber was an innovative player. He was a productive and special talent. But, based on his success as a player, he could almost be considered an underachiever. Someone with the tools he had should have rings, MVPs, etc. He was only a five-time All-Star. He made All-NBA once.
That's not enough, to me. What do you think?
Knee problem for Webber
I commented to Tim Kawakami in the Oracle Arena media room Sunday afternoon that my one concern with writing about the improvements in Chris Webber's game was the fact that things might turn 180 degrees at any moment.
After a first half Sunday night in which he clearly struggled, Webber did not come out after intermission because of soreness in his left knee, the same one that gave way in 2003, eventually requiring microfracture surgery.
The team didn't have much in the way of details — "sore left knee" was as much as we got in the locker room — but Webber said he wants to get an MRI as soon as possible. It's not clear if the team can get that done before its scheduled departure at 10 a.m. Monday, or if Webber might stay behind to see the doctors and catch up with the team later.
With Andris Biedrins already out, if Webber is unavailable in Atlanta, Don Nelson will have few options in the middle: go small with Al Harrington or Austin Croshere, or go big with oft-inactive Patrick O'Bryant or Kosta Perovic. I'd expect the former rather than the latter, which should insure that Brandan Wright will continue to start for the foreseeable future at power forward.
I've been skeptical of the notion that the Warriors, with 15 guaranteed contracts, would sign another player, since many of the guys available are not clearcut improvements over what Golden State already has. But if Webber's pain is a significant injury, I think they have to give further serious consideration to that idea.
As for Sunday's game, the thing that stood out the most for me was the fact that seven players scored in the fourth quarter. I can't remember the last time Golden State had that kind of diversity down the stretch of a game where the outcome was still in doubt.
– Geoff
Time for Wright is Now
It's kind of hard to go against Nellie, though I think he makes a lot of questionable decisions, dare I say some bad decisions. Still, the dude knows what he's doing, and there have been a lot of times where he's dead on, so there is reason for reserve when questioning his moves. Though I may not always agree with his reasoning, he usually has a pretty logical reason.
This, though, I can't get past. I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it just doesn't make any sense. Nellie: PLAY BRANDAN WRIGHT.
With Andris out, with the Webber experiment yawning along, there is no excuse for Wright not to play. I'm not even on the "play the youngsters" kick, as I'd be perfectly fine with not seeing Belinelli and Kosta on the court this year (though I don't understand why C.J. isn't play. He does well almost every time he's in). But Wright, he's different. He can be a factor now. And he's not as much of a liability as the other youngsters.
Wright has the athleticism, the motor and the skills to contribute something the Warriors need right now. Why is his mistakes less tolerable than Stephen Jackson's telegraphed crossover or Matt Barnes' failed Magic Johnson imitations or Mickael Pietrus tap dancing on the out-of-bounds line? If you can bring Webber along, you can certainly bring Wright along, because he has way more life in his legs.
I'm not saying run Wright out there for 30 minutes. But he's good enough to play 15 to 20. I'd settle for 10. And not with four other hardly used reserves, either.
Whne you think about it, the Warriors have talent on the bench. Half of them have had their confidence sapped by Nellie's whimsical rotation. But for the most part, some of these dudes can play. Azubuike was a starter. He can play. Pietrus and Barnes can play (when they're under control). Wright can play.
Even Patrick O'Bryant can play. Kinda. He's slow. He's soft. But he has offensive skills. In the right situation, such as last night against the bigger Hawks, he can give you something inside. At the very least, he could put Josh Childress in his place with a bony elbow to the chest. You might as well milk POB for what you can. He's going to leave town in two months having made nearly $5 million off the Warriors.
All they need is the removal of the fear that one mistake will end their stint. Look how comfortable Wright was last night knowing that he was going to play. With his length and athleticism and skill set, he can't help but make an impact. All he needs his mental under control, and he's going to give you something — without causing you to lose.
Since the Warriors didn't pull off a trade, they can still make a move that adds to the team. They can potentially get that spark they need, that boost past Denver and/or Houston.
Nellie: PLAY BRANDAN WRIGHT.
20 and 10 for C-Webb
Chicago is terrible.
The adrenaline is pumping.
This game is made for Webber to break out.
It's done: Chris Webber returns
After a 14-year hiatus, Chris Webber is going to be a Warrior again.
A team source said that Webber, who arrived in Oakland as the No. 1 overall pick from the 1993 NBA draft but left the following year after a vicious falling-out with coach Don Nelson, is expected to sign a one-year contract with Golden State either tonight or Tuesday. Another source confirmed the team has put in for waivers on injured guard Troy Hudson, clearing the way for Webber, a five-time All-Star, to join the club.
An official announcement is not expected until Tuesday, and Webber most likely won't join the team until Thursday, when it returns from a two-day road trip to Houston and New Orleans.
Webber, who has not played this season, also had interest from the Lakers, but went with Golden State after Los Angeles reportedly asked him to work on a tryout basis under two 10-day contracts before getting a season-long deal.
Webber's deal is expected to be worth approximately $550,000, although the Warriors will be reimbursed roughly $200,000 from the league under salary cap rules meant to encourage the signing of veteran free agents.
A Warriors spokesman, citing team policy, declined to comment on the impending deal, which will reunite Webber and Nelson for the first time since 1993-94. The pair helped Golden State win 50 games that season and earned a playoff berth, but cracks in the relationship started to become public in January and February, and after the season, Webber exercised an opt-out clause in his 15-year, $74 million contract.
Webber held out until November 1994, when Golden State worked out a sign-and-trade deal with the Washington Bullets, shipping out Webber in exchange for Tom Gugliotta and three first-round selections. Nelson stepped down as the club's general manager and coach in February 1995. The franchise didn't garner another playoff berth — or even a winning record, for that matter — until Nelson returned last season.
The Warriors' interest in Webber came to light last week, although it may have been going on for significantly longer than that. Sources said that Nelson and Webber have talked through any residual enmity, and Nelson said he has no fears of a repeat performance.
"I look back on it . . . and we were both pretty stubborn," Nelson said. "I was maybe too tough and he was too young to see the positives that I was trying to bring to the table. But anyway, I think I've learned and I think he has too. Hey, I'm an old man and he's an old player. There's a lot of common sense to it."
And a lot of media craziness, too. Let the circus commence.

E3 2010: Killzone 3 Video Interview & Transcript

We chat to Guerrilla Games' Steven Ter Heide regarding the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive title Killzone 3.

: Welcome to AusGamers once again, last day of the show at E3 2010. We're sitting here with Steven Ter Heide from Guerilla Games. We just ran through a quick demo of Killzone 3 which is probably the best looking game on the show floor I have to say.
Steven Ter Heide
: Thank you very much, I'm happy to hear that!
: We talked about it a little during the gameplay demonstration, but you guys have really approached a lot of what the fans have been asking for -- a lot of what the critical feedback was. Can you run us through a few of the big changes this time around?
Steven: Absolutely! One of the big things that we're doing for Killzone 3 is adding a lot more variety. Not just in the environments, where we'll take you from the icy, snowy environments that you've just seen in this level, but all the way through alien jungles, nuclear wastelands -- even into space. So there's a lot of variety in the environments and also a lot of variety in the stuff that you do from minute to minute.
In the level we have on show today, we'll have you firing from an intruder, where you're actually on the intruder firing down; we've got your regular combat with a new brutal melee system in there; you get to fight jetpack troopers; you get to actually put on a jetpack yourself and hop around the level. And of course these levels are much bigger this time around so it allows you to basically open up whole new routes because the jetpack takes advantage of those kind of things.
Then at the end of the level, we've got this big, massive rocket launcher that does lots and lots of damage; we call it the Wasp rocket launcher, it's kind of a portable Weapon of Mass Destruction -- lots of fun to play with -- and that's just the variety in the span of one level and something we want to do across the span of the game.
That's probably the biggest thing that we wanted to address. Obviously there's other concerns as well from the fans and critics that we've had. We want to address the storytelling; there's a couple of really good games that came out after us that just did a phenomenal job of telling a story. Naughty Dog with Uncharted -- I think they're on top of the game and they just did a fantastic job with that, so we looked at that game and said "what makes this story so good?", and I think it's the light-hearted tone they take in some of these things. Killzone used to take itself very, very seriously; Killzone 2 was a very serious game and it could do with a couple of light-hearted touches. It's not going to be a comedy -- not at all -- but a couple of light-hearted elements in there will kind of liven it up a little bit.
So it's those kind of things that we take on board and try to fix. The same goes for Rico, a lot of people had very strong emotions about Rico. Strong emotions about a character we created is great and we love to hear about that, but it shouldn't be out of frustration; it shouldn't be about "He's useless". So that's something we want to address, we want to make him more helpful. So this time around he's able to revive you if you're shot down, so it's not just you doing the reviving all of the time, he'll actually help you out. He's going to be a much more helpful buddy this time around. He's going to the same brutal melee combinations and going to look pretty awesome so that's something that we wanted to do.
The loading times are another thing that people commented on, they said the loading times are too long -- there's these loading hiccups in the game as well. As you can see from this build already, those loading times are pretty much gone and we want to get rid of them completely. So it's going to be one seamless experience. You pop in the disc and play it through from beginning to end -- we want to get rid of that as much as possible.
Another thing that a lot of the hardcore fans commented on was controller lag is something that we are addressing as well. Obviously Killzone has it's own kind of scheme of how you move around, that all of the animations have a bit of "weight" to them. That's something that we want to keep but we want to make sure that when you press a button something happens on screen immediately. There shouldn't be any lag between you pressing a button and stuff happening on screen. So that's pretty much gone in the build that we have here already, but we're working it out to get rid of it completely.
: We'll have to wrap up pretty quickly, but another big change is that you guys are offering the game is 3D and from all accounts it looks like one of the best FPS's shown in 3D. Did you guys have to sacrifice anything to do that or did it actually help development of the game come along in terms of gameplay options and opportunities.
: I think 3D is a great addition to the game. What we had to do obviously, we had to push the PlayStation 3 to make sure we got two images, one for each eye. That means that the tech guys back home are very hard at work to make sure that the performance gets up there. That benefits the entire game because we need to make sure that 3D runs at 30 frames [per second] and that benefits the 2D version obviously as well.
We had to do a couple of things in terms of design for it. There's very subtle changes that initially you don't think about. Things like the crosshair, where it's not actually part of the gameworld, so you have to figure out "where does that crosshair live?"; "where do you need to place it, in terms of the level of depth?", so that it's not just right in front of you where you can't focus on it. So that's something that we had to figure out and it's those kind of minor design changes that we have to make in terms of 3D. In terms of content though it's one to one with the 2D game.
: Awesome. Well thanks very much for that Steven, we're going to have to run, but the game looks fantastic!
: Thank you very much.

Philip Glass Opera in Brooklyn
Published: September 2009
By Anne Midgette
Kepler Brooklyn Academy of
Music (November 18–21). In the popular imagination, Philip Glass is a composer of
film scores and repeating minimalist patterns; but he's also an eminent, and prolific, opera
composer, with a particular interest in scientists (Einstein and Galileo have featured in past
works). His 23rd opera (according to his website) will have its world premiere in Linz, Austria
(where the astronomer Johannes Kepler lived in the early 17th century) before coming to Brooklyn
under the baton of one of Glass's oldest friends and champions, Dennis Russell Davies.

About DJ Mustard
We assume most of y'all are at least peripherally familiar with DJ Mustard at this point - even if you aren't, you've definitely heard a beat of his at some point within the past five years. The Pushaz Ink affiliate has pioneered what he describes as "ratchet music", and is a close friend of fellow Californian artist YG, also serving as his official tour DJ. Throughout his young career, the Los Angeles native has already collaborated with the likes of Young Jeezy, Tyga, 2 Chainz, TeeFlii, Nipsey Hussle, Ty Dolla $ign and many more. To date, his most recognizable singles would have to be YG's "My Nigga", 2 Chainz' "I'm Different" and Tyga's "Rack City". Most recently, he's been collaborating with Rihanna as well as the TDE camp, and curated the first edition of industry insider and renowned artist manager Steve Lobel's "Battle For Beats" event, during which a free beat is given to the emcee who comes out on top. Stay tuned for the further adventures of Dijon McFarlane.
Facts Only
- Mustard began DJing at the age of eleven, inspired by his uncle, who's also a DJ.
- In 2010, he released an unofficial compilation via Thump Records titled "Let's Jerk".
- Not only are Mustard and YG collaborators, they're very close friends as well, having come up together.
- DJ Mustard uses the production program Reason.
- "Mustard on the beat, hoe!" is his signature tagline.

This is the HPI Racing Vorza Flux 1/8 scale 4WD Buggy with 2.4GHZ radio, flux system and painted body. With the World Championship-winning HB D8 buggy as its foundation, the Vorza takes the race-winning design of the D8 and mixes it up with HPI Flux HP tech from the Savage Flux HP to give you awe-inspiring speed! This is a ready to run (RTR) buggy that you can take to BMX jumps for hair-raising big-air thrills, and then you can take it straight to any buggy track for top-level racing action - it will turn heads and amaze your friends! The Vorza has everything that backyard bashers and racers want!
The Vorza Flux HP is our FASTEST buggy, able to reach speeds up to 73 mph*! Can you imagine an electric buggy going that fast? The Flux Blur speedo takes 2 batteries, allowing you to fit in up to 6S of LiPo power for utterly insane top speeds and mind-boggling take-off power!
World Championship Suspension Design
With many parts taken directly from the World Champion HB D8 racing buggy, the Vorza is ready to hit the track any time, any place! Equal-length 16mm HB Big Bore shocks smooth out the ride and provide plenty of adjustment, while the D8's solid suspension arms, knuckles and uprights take the pounding of jumps, dips and landings. Sturdy aluminum suspension mounts securely hold the suspension arms to the chassis with a steel screw and washer.
Top-Level Race Buggy Adjustability
At both ends of the car, the Vorza has everything you'd expect from an all-out competition kit, including HB's Inverse Steering Block Design, thick anodized aluminum steering link, optional hinge pin holes for the rear uprights, adjustable roll center, thick turnbuckle links, aligned king pin and universal joint pivots, sway bar, steel turnbuckles and HB's own counter-rotating shock mount screws.
Rock-Solid Reliable Drivetrain
Continuing the rugged reliability of HB nitro buggies and truggies, the Vorza uses the D8 spiral-cut 'worm gear' diffs to get the power from the driveshafts to the wheels. A spiral cut is more reliable and much stronger than standard straight-cut gears, giving you extra confidence and fewer maintenance headaches. You can adjust the diff action with thicker or thinner oils because all three diffs are sealed against leakage, giving you a fantastic boost of tuning ability.
2.4GHz RADIO SYSTEM
All of the latest HPI kits are now fitted with a comfortable and feature-packed HPI 2.4GHz radio system for supreme control and confidence! The radio features a pistol-grip design with drop-down steering wheel, 3 channel functionality, easy carry handle, fold-down aerial, end point adjustments, servo reversing and steering dual rate. It's also extremely lightweight due to it requiring only four AA batteries.
You won't have to worry about radio crystals or what channel other RC racers are using with our 2.4GHz technology - the radio does all that work for you! The radio prevents frequency conflicts automatically and changes channels if there is any interference. Finally, if you ever lose radio signal or battery power, an electronic failsafe will bring it to a safe and controlled stop. You'll have professional-level control in one easy RTR package!
4 AA Batteries - HPI recommend #101938 Rechargeable AA Batteries!
2 matching Battery Packs with Deans Plugs - HPI Plazma Li-Po batteries recommended!
Battery Charger - #101972 or #101971 HPI Reactor 500 Charger recommended!
Great buggy! Very quick on 6s without gearing up but I will be sometime soon just to see how much crazier this thing is on the road. Any bashers out there do yourself a favour and get 2 pairs of proline 3.8 badlands you won't be dissapointed raises the car up a fair bit and gives it tons more traction and just looks bad ass! :) you should probably stay at the stock gearing with those bad boys tho to save your diffs, etc.
Out of the box this thing is killer. If you go with 6S make sure you go easy on the throttle till you get used it it. Otherwise you break parts like I did.
I just bought from http://www.rctophobby.com for 2 days and find the price here is lower
Very good service and prompt delivery.
The Vorza exceeded my expectations. Working with RCPLANET as always was a great experience.
