Williams to fight to keep crossing's flashing lights
The issue of flashing lights at Moama's Meninya St pedestrian crossing has been ongoing since they were re-installed last year.JESS CRAIG March 18, 2014 4:50am
Member for Murray-Darling John Williams will be meeting with Murray Shire councillors to discuss a range of issues, including the pedestrian crossing in Moama.
Member for Murray-Darling John Williams will fight for flashing lights to remain at Moama's Meninya St pedestrian crossing.
His decision will go against that of NSW Roads and Ports Minister Duncan Gay, who has taken the suggestion of Roads and Maritime Services that the lights be removed.
Having lights on the crossing does not comply with NSW pedestrian crossing standards, but Mr Williams and Murray Shire councillors believe the lights kept people safe as they cross the busy road.
RMS and NSW Police representatives believe the flashing lights should be removed.
RMS has suggested zigzag lines, pedestrian fencing and the removal of some parking spaces to improve safety.
Mr Williams saw the volume of traffic first-hand on Friday.
''The council has explained to me that in peak periods, there can be as many as 19,000 cars through this area in one day,'' Mr Williams said.
''The flashing lights give drivers awareness that they are approaching something.''
Mr Williams has made representations to Mr Gay's chief of staff, and said while he had not received an 'affirmative answer', he would support council in its fight to keep the lights.
The issue of flashing lights at the crossing has been ongoing since they were re-installed last year.
Murray Shire councillors are unanimous in their support of the lights.
Most traffic comes from Victoria, where lights are common at crossings, so the lights should remain, the councillors said.
In December last year, the shire sent a submission to Mr Gay about the disputed crossing.
Murray Shire's local traffic committee has also met with RMS and NSW Police representatives.
The committee's council representatives — mayor Tom Weyrich, Cr Gavin Burke and Cr Ian Moon — believe the flashing lights should remain.
Cr Burke previously said the flashing lights were essential to public safety and he told the Riv on Friday his position remained the same.
''Not one person I've spoken to wants the lights removed,'' he said.
''I am in favour of the lights for safety reasons.
''The RMS suggestion that pedestrian fencing be put in place instead is not suitable

PLUS: YACHTING -- WHITBREAD; EF Education Quits Fifth Leg
By SUSAN B. ADAMS
Published: March 7, 1998
Becalmed and bedeviled, EF Education, the all-female team in the Whitbread Round the World Race, retired yesterday from Leg 5 after 33 days 11 hours at sea.
The Swedish entry is the second yacht to withdraw before completion of the 6,670-nautical-mile leg from Auckland, New Zealand, to Sao Sebastiao, Brazil. The crew of EF Education made the decision after being becalmed for more than six hours at a position about 1,127 nautical miles south of Sao Sebastiao.
''We have run out of wind and continuing slow progress under sail will preclude us from getting to Sao Sebastiao in time for the start of Leg 6,'' the skipper, Christine Guillou, wrote to race headquarters yesterday. ''We therefore started our engine and will motor with the limited supply of diesel in our tanks whenever wind conditions are light. We tried our hardest.''
The crew has been dogged by bad luck since the start of Leg 5 on Feb. 1. On Feb. 7, the yacht's D2 fitting on the rigging stripped out of its fitting on the starboard side of the rig. On Feb. 16, EF Education lost her rig when the port D2 failed. The crew made its way without a mast -- an experience one of the crew members, Katie Pettibone, described as ''similar to trying to steer an egg riding in a washing machine'' -- to Ushuaia, Argentina, at the southern tip of South America. Once there, the women fitted a new rig.
On Wednesday, five days after restarting Leg 5, EF Education ran into heavy seas and 35- to 45-knot northeasterly winds, and the head blew out of the main sail. Then the wind died out completely, and the crew decided unanimously to retire yesterday at 12 P.M. Greenwich mean time (7 A.M. Eastern standard time).
EF Education had fought hard to finish the leg to collect the heavy points awarded for its completion. ''If we can at least get points for finishing, we will be better off than Silk Cut,'' Pettibone wrote on Tuesday, referring to the dismasted British entry, which officially retired from the fifth leg last week.
''It would have been a bonus if EF Education had managed to finish the leg,'' Johan Salen, the EF project manager, said yesterday. ''Our priority has always been for EF Education to get to Sao Sebastiao and be ready to start the sixth leg in good shape.''
The 4,750-nautical-mile stage from Sao Sebastiao to Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is scheduled to begin on March 14. The nine-stage, 31,600-nautical-mile round-the-world race is scheduled to return to Southampton, England, in May. SUSAN B. ADAMS

Alvaro Saborio's injury dents Real Salt Lake, Costa Rica
May 1, 2013, 3:58 PM EDT
News out of Utah today is bad news if you're a Real Salt Lake fan, but potentially terrible news for Costa Rica's ongoing bid to reach the 2014 World Cup.
The Deseret News reports today that Alvaro Saborio's quad injury will keep the Costa Rican international sidelined for perhaps several weeks. He suffered the injury in practice late last week and missed Saturday's loss to the LA Galaxy.
(So, for that set who believes Saborio is over-valued because "all he does is score goals," well, here you go. We talked about this previously.)
The subplot here (or the main plot line, perhaps, if Saborio's time in the treatment room goes beyond three or four weeks) is what impact this has on June qualifiers. June is huge, with all six nations involved in final round qualifying set to play three times.
Costa Rica hosts Honduras on June 7, visits Mexico four nights later and then hosts Panama on June 18. (The complete CONCACAF final round schedule is here.)
The quad injury isn't likely to extend into June. But will the fourth-year MLS man be fit and sharp?
Along with Panama's Blas Perez, Mexico's Javier "Chicharito" Hernadez and perhaps Clint Dempsey, Saborio is among the region's top marksman still involved in the World Cup chase. Saborio has seven goals in 2014 qualifying, second only to Perez (9 goals) among active strikers.
The Ticos are currently tied for second along with the United States and Honduras in the six-team "Hexagonal."

Baby-mugging turns into Internet craze
It's simple and cute, and perhaps that's why this has caught fire around North America and elsewhere.

Share via Email
View 6 photoszoom
It's the new Internet craze.
It's called Baby Mugging.
It's not what you think. Mugging babies?
No, it's babies in mugs.
It's simple and cute, and perhaps that's why this has caught fire around North America and elsewhere.
It involves no elaborate Photoshop. All you need is a baby, a camera, a coffee mug — and some patience.
You place your baby on the floor and place a coffee cup in front of the baby so the cup obscures the baby's body. You line up the mug and baby so that it appears your baby is popping out of the cup.
One of the tricky things when taking these photos: It's hard to get both the mug and baby into focus.
"You usually have to choose one or the other. Some people have been able to do a good job," said Ilana Wiles a Manhattan mom, who is the woman behind this viral hit. "It's all perspective."
Wiles has a blog called Mommy Shorts.
After the Boston Marathon bombings, she wanted to post something to make people smile because the horror was so much for people to bear.
"I wasn't sure what to write about that day," Wiles said.
So, she lined up her baby Harlow and her 3-year-old girl Mazzy and began posting shots on Instagram showing them "popping out" of coffee mugs.
In that blog post, she wrote: "This morning, I talked to a few friends who said people are looking for a reason to smile today. I hope that's true . . . If you want a simple smile, I'm posting babies in mugs."
The craze was born.
Wiles said that she has been overwhelmed by the response.
"I had no idea it would become a THING," she wrote on her Mommy Shorts blog a few days after the bombings. She also created a hashtag #babeinamug. Another hashtag is #babbymugging.
Even late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel made a reference to this in a recent show, catching Wiles by surprise as she blogged late at night with Kimmel on the nearby TV.
Wiles has even has a Facebook page devoted to people who "like to mug their babies."
For all other things "baby," Wiles has created a Mommy Shorts Facebook page in which she posts things such as baby photo contests and viral baby videos.
But, as with all things viral, people have taken the next step by posting photos of their pets popping out of mugs. Dog in a mug, anyone?

Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Constantly Risking Absurdity Poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Constantly risking absurdity
and death
whenever he performs
above the heads
of his audience
the poet like an acrobat
climbs on rime
to a high wire of his own making
and balancing on eyebeams
above a sea of faces
paces his way
to the other side of the day
performing entrachats
and sleight-of-foot tricks
and other high theatrics
and all without mistaking
any thing
for what it may not be
For he's the super realist
who must perforce perceive
taut truth
before the taking of each stance or step
in his supposed advance
toward that still higher perch
where Beauty stands and waits
with gravity
to start her death-defying leap
And he
a little charleychaplin man
who may or may not catch
her fair eternal form
spreadeagled in the empty air
of existence

i love ferlihnghetti and have ever since my first modern american poetry class in 1970-
i think 'constantly risking absurdity' is one of the great anthems for poets...
we surely do risk absurdity and flying above the heads of our audiences, only because they often won't just see what they see.
'i am waiting' is my favorite of his....but he has been an inspiration for my poetry for almost 40 years,
thank you, lawrence (Report) Reply

Ferlinghetti was one strange man this poem was the only one that didnt depress me, I aslo like the charliechaplin man I thought that that made the poem (Report) Reply
David Peters (12/28/2006 5:02:00 PM)
While I'm not generally a fan of Ferlinghetti's poems, I've always loved this one.
It's sad to see that it is not formatted here the way he arranged it. Using the original format is critical if readers/listeners are to truly capture the meanings and emotional content of this poem. (Report) Reply
Stan Jelley (12/1/2004 12:12:00 AM)
One of my favourite poems; sums up and illuminates like nothing else could the personal exposure and risk inherent in any creative act. The common farewell these days of Take Care is the very opposite. The final image of the charleychaplin man who may or may not catch beauty shows again the self-sacrificing risk in pursuit of success, satisfaction, or even audience acclaim. But how artistically and with what panache does Ferlinghetti express it! (Report) Reply

|ECPA names book cover finalists
|Wednesday, 05 December 2012 04:20 PM EST
The Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA) has announced 10 finalists for the Design award and nine for the Consumer Research award in the ECPA/dp Book Cover Award program. ECPA reported a record-breaking year of submissions for the awards program, which is sponsored by Dickinson Press.
Managed by Faceout Studio and highlighting the art aspect of book covers, the ECPA Book Cover Design Award was introduced this year and focuses on the design merits of a book cover, including the level of conceptual thinking, the quality of the execution and appropriateness for the market. Three finalists are announced in three publisher categories, with a tie in the small publisher category.
Design finalists in the large publisher category are: Heroes and Monsters by Josh James Riebock (Baker Books/Baker Publishing Group); Love Does by Bob Goff (Thomas Nelson); and The Teavangelicals by David Brody (Zondervan).
Managed by RISC AmeriScan and highlighting the science aspect, the Consumer Research award is based on the consumer-buying research of the Research Institute for Social Change (RISC), which measures consumer motivations as it relates to cover design and book sales. Covers are judged and analyzed on how well their design elements match characteristics of their intended audience.
Research finalists in the large publisher category are: The Queen by Steven James (Revell/Baker Publishing Group); Soul Detox by Craig Groeschel (Zondervan); and The Voice Bible (Thomas Nelson).
Click here http://bookcoveraward.com to see all of the finalists in small, mid-sized and large publisher categories. Judges will announce the award winners via webcast Wednesday, Dec. 12.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
River East plays part in Rainbow Stage's success
We may not be thinking that summer will ever come as we endure the extreme cold we have experienced this winter.
However, summer is bound to return, and I thought this might be a good time to focus on a unique family tradition that many of us look forward to. That tradition is Rainbow Stage.
This summer marks Rainbow Stage's 60th Anniversary of dazzling family entertainment. As Canada's longest-surviving outdoor theatre, success has come from both the quality of the productions and the support from the community. What could be better than having a picnic with family and friends at Kildonan Park followed by enjoying a lively musical theatre production?
Rainbow Stage has put together quite the lineup for its Diamond Celebration and will feature three productions this summer. It all begins in June with A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, followed by The Producers in July and capped off with Disney's The Little Mermaid in August. The theatre itself has been upgraded. The concrete walls are now covered with beautiful murals, the auditorium curtains have been replaced and the concessions have been completely renovated and redecorated.
There are also plans underway for a Summer Picnic in the Park and on Oct. 15th Rainbow Stage's yearly fundraising gala, Encore 2014! 60 Years of Brilliance!, will be held at the RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg.
I am extremely proud that many talented individuals in our community play an integral part in making Rainbow Stage possible. I am sure that many of you know, or know of, someone who works or volunteers their time at Rainbow Stage; whether they are a part of the cast, the crew, or on the board of directors. Names like Kimberley Rampersad, Stacey Nattrass, Carson Nattrass, the late Ken Peters, Scott Peters, Jascha Boge, Robert Boge, Campbell McIntyre and Doug Meacham are just a few of the many familiar names who are part of the Rainbow Stage family. These professionals and volunteers have played a significant role in the success and growth of Rainbow Stage over the years.
I want to congratulate Rainbow Stage for providing 60 years of top notch family entertainment! I know that our community will continue to support this wonderful summer institution for generations to come.
For show dates and ticket information, or if you'd like to volunteer, please visit their website at www.rainbowstage.ca or by phone at 204-989-5261.
If you know someone who is doing good work in our community, I would love to hear from you. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Though the actors look their parts (actually, Johansson's parts look darn fine – but that's another story) they are sort of wasted in a tale like this" – Clint Morris
Ewan McGregor, Scarlett Johansson, Sean Bean, Steve Buscemi, Djimon Hounsou, Michael Clarke Duncan, Ethan Phillips
Jigsaw Puzzles aren't much to look at when their pieces aren't in place. Scattered across the floor – it's an illegible mess. Like Michael Bay's latest film though, when all the pieces are coupled, or in this case his infinitely different first and third act are linked, it all looks good and the privy party walk away fulfilled. Bay being Bay though – there's always a couple of pieces from the brainteaser that he's forgotten to slot into the puzzle.
Seemingly desperate to lose that well-deserved tag as Captain Popcorn-Movie – no story but special effects, stars and super stunts – Bay drops seasoned action producer Jerry Bruckheimer ("Con-Air", "The Rock", "Armageddon", "Bad Boys") from the call-sheet as he attempts to do something that's a little less effects-driven and significantly more of a yarn.
"The Island" is set in the future, where men and women are having themselves cloned so that they can live longer lives – through use of their clone's fresh parts, be it a healthier liver or better ticker.
What are the clones, which are all trapped in a huge-sized underground compound, told? They've been brainwashed to believe that there's a beautiful 'Island' each of them will get to go – when fortuitously selected. Of course, they're merely being dragged away so they can be sliced and diced for their parts.
When Lincoln-Echo Six (Ewan McGregor) gets wind that something's not right in his world, he grabs friend (Scarlett Johansson) and they both escape. The outside world is an alien one to them – obviously, having never been outside the complex – and poses quite a challenge. One that turncoat factory worker Mac (Steve Buscemi) helps them to overcome.
"The Island" is one-part "Minority Report", one-part Michael Bay, and all-action. It may feel like two movies – the first part being the story driven section, and the latter half being unrelenting action – but it's very entertaining, a sort of thrilling cinematic rollercoaster ride. Bay's intention may have been to sway away from those action blockbuster's he's made his name for but he really hasn't. Yes, the first part of the film has significantly more story than any of Mikey B's previous films, but by the film's middle – he's his old self. Thing is, after so much exposition and repartee, we're keen for some action and he can seemingly blow stuff up, flip cars and destroy buildings like no other.
So what are the pieces missing from Bay's puzzle?
Though the actors look their parts (actually, Johansson's parts look darn fine – but that's another story) they are sort of wasted in a tale like this. No performance necessary really. At the same time, they're deserving of a well-earned holiday, so if this is how they get it, then why not? In addition, the script's a little all-over-the-place. Seemingly unsure of itself, it weaves in and out of different genres and in the end, simply just keeps going and going and going. Some serious trimming needed here. The film's conclusion is also a bit of a disappointment – flat, not very stirring. Maybe they should've used the predictable twist after all?
Still, Bay knows how to deliver enough bang for your buck, and his latest more than satisfied the price of cinema admission yet again. Well worth checking out.

Writer: Tactful Sheik

Dundee United travel to Ibrox this weekend, hoping to continue their impressive run against the Glasgow side.
Since 2004, Dundee United have only lost 3 of a possible 12 SPL matches against Rangers, including a 2-1 victory at Tannadice earlier in the campaign.
On the 28th of August 2007, goals from Lee Wilkie (28mins) and a penalty from captain Barry Robson (54mins) gave Dundee United a deserved win - though Daniel Cousin's 51st minute equaliser from the penalty spot had threatened to turn the match on its head.
Even after the shocking events at Fir Park last weekend, a 4-1 win over Hearts midweek, should have the United players full of confidence and determined make it 2 wins out of 2 this season.
Although, Craig Levein might have to do without 3 of the side which played against Hearts, with the influential Lee Wilkie, Grzegorz Szamotulski and Willo Flood all struggling with knocks.
Willo Flood has a dead leg and Polish goalkeeper Szamotulski is also a doubt for the tip to Ibrox, after struggled with an ankle injury for most of the 2nd half against Hearts.
While it's looking increasingly unlikely that central defender Wilkie will play against Rangers, because of a tight hamstring picked up midweek.
"I came off just before the end, but I first felt my hamstring in the warm-up," confessed Wilkie to the Dundee Courier.
"The hamstring is the most worrying, but I'm hoping it will be OK because, apart from derbies, Old Firm games are the ones you look forward to most and I'd be gutted if I missed it.
"We've had a few good results against Rangers up here and it would be nice if we could go down and get one in Glasgow, but we know these games are always tough."
Craig Levein will wait until tomorrow morning before making a final decision on all 3 players, but it would be a major blow to take on one of the Old Firm sides without your best players available.
"There is nothing too serious, but with the games coming thick and fast there is not a lot of time for them to recover," admitted Levein.
"We're giving their injuries as much time as we can to settle down and it will be tomorrow before a decision is made on any of them."
Meanwhile, Rangers will be without Lee McCulloch, Steven Smith and Andy Webster, but Charlie Adam and Nacho Novo are both available and are expected to make an appearance at some stage during the match.

Oaktree, Apollo to sell 9 million Charter shares
- Diana Barr
- Associate Editor- St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
Two of Charter Communications Inc.'s largest stockholders are reducing their stakes in the company.
Funds affiliated with Apollo Funds and with Oaktree Opportunities Investments have agreed to sell about 6.2 million shares and about 3.1 million shares, respectively, of their holdings in Charter in an underwritten offering.
Charter will not sell any shares in the offering and won't receive any proceeds from it, the company announced Thursday.
Goldman, Sachs & Co. is acting as underwriter for the offering and may offer the cable and broadband company's common stock in transactions on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at prevailing rates or negotiated prices.
With the offering, Apollo will reduce its stake in charter from 24.3 percent to 18.3 percent; Oaktree's stake in Charter will drop from 12.4 percent to 9.4 percent, according to a prospectus on the offering filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The sale price for Charter's stock in the first quarter through Thursday ranged from a high of $90.90 to a low of $76.19. The company's stock was trading at $88.43 a share in midafternoon Friday, down about 1.5 percent from Thursday's close.
For the full-year 2012, the cable and broadband company posted a loss of $304 million on revenue of $7.5 billion.
Charter (Nasdaq: CHTR) announced in October that it would move its corporate headquarters from Town & Country to Stamford, Conn., but keep most of its operations here. Tom Rutledge is Charter's president and CEO.

Marc Forgione's Advice to the New Iron Chef Contestantsby Sarah De Heer in Food Network Chef, Shows, September 19th, 2011
The countdown to the premiere of Next Iron Chef has officially begun (Sunday, October 30) and who better to kick it off than season three winner Marc Forgione? Nobody knows the stresses of the competition better than he does and with 10 new super-chefs lined up for season four, we asked Marc to share his lessons learned with the new contestants.
1. Do not underestimate any of your competitors.
2. Taste your food. Sometimes, in the heat of battle, you get caught up in the craziness and forget the basics like tasting your food.
3. Be fair. If you need a small amount of parsley, take a little and leave the rest for the others.If you're going to win, you want it to be because you're the best, not because somebody didn't have something. Plus, it's good karma.
4. Don't cut yourself. A cut really sets you back when time is of the essence.
5. Follow your gut. When the battle begins, your first instinct is usually the right one. I never second-guessed anything I thought of last season. You need to trust yourself.

(By Balaseshan) Computer Sciences Corp. (NYSE: CSC) said it has agreed with South Africa's employment services company, Adcorp, for the sale of its Australian IT staffing unit - Paxus.
This agreement, CSC's third divestiture in seven weeks, advances CSC's transformation strategy to rebalance its portfolio of services. The total value of this all-cash transaction is expected to be $73.5 million.
"We do not anticipate any impact on CSC's core services and clients in Australia, and we expect to use after-tax proceeds for general corporate purposes," said Mike Lawrie, president and CEO of CSC.
Adcorp's decades-long history in the staffing industry will ease the transition for Paxus's clients and employees. After the closing, CSC will continue a business relationship with Paxus to meet its IT staffing needs in Australia.
[Related -Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE:CSC): CSC May Miss FY2014 Revenue Target]
In fiscal 2012, revenue from Paxus was about $340 million with low single-digit operating margins. Paxus's results will be recast as discontinued operations in future periods. Paxus's results had been previously reported within CSC's Business Solutions and Services segment.
The companies expect to close the transaction by the end of January 2013. CSC acquired Continuum and its Melbourne-based Paxus business unit in 1996.
"This portfolio-shaping transaction is the latest step in CSC's transformation. We are aligning the company's resources with our strategy of leading the next generation of solutions and services," said Lawrie.

A water-based or solvent-based, or combinations thereof, aerosol insecticide is provided. Dimethylether (DME) is used both as a solvent and a propellant. The DME holds the ingredients of the aerosol in a homogenous liquid solution while it is in an aerosol bomb. Upon release of the aerosol, the DME flashes off and the remaining ingredients separate into two phases: a liquid phase, and a solid or oil phase having the active insecticidal ingredients.
1. A solvent-based aerosol insecticidal composition to be sprayed upon an insect that is embodied in a homogeneous liquid solution contained under pressure in an aerosol can which solution becomes a two-phase system upon release from the aerosol can, the insecticidal composition being produced by a method comprising:
placing in the aerosol can at least one active insecticidal ingredient selected from the group consisting of organophosphates and a co-solvent which dissolves the insecticidal ingredient and maintains the insecticidal ingredient in solution while it is contained in the aerosol can;
adding a diluent to said at least one insecticidal ingredient and co-solvent, said at least one insecticidal ingredient being insoluble in said diluent, said diluent being a hydrocarbon solvent;
adding dimethyl ether as a propellent and a solvent under pressure, said dimethyl ether holding said insecticidal ingredient, co-solvent and said diluent in a homogeneous liquid solution within the aerosol can and said insecticidal ingredient is a solid or an oil when not in solution; and
whereby upon releasing the aerosol insecticide, the dimethyl ether and co-solvent present flash, and the two-phase system forms, one phase comprising the diluent which separates, and a second phase comprising said insecticidal ingredient, said insecticidal ingredient returning to its solid or oil state when it separates from the diluent;
wherein the insecticidal composition consists essentially of organophosphate active insecticidal ingredient in the range of 0.01%-10.0%, co-solvent in the range of up to 25%, diluent in the range of 25.0%-90.0%, and dimethyl ether in the range of 10.0%-75.0%.
2. The insecticidal composition of claim 1 wherein the co-solvent is selected from the group consisting of isopropyl alcohol, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and combinations thereof.
3. The insecticidal composition of claim 1 wherein the insecticidal ingredient is acephate.
4. The insecticidal composition of claim 2 wherein the insecticidal ingredient is acephate.
5. The insecticidal composition of claim 1 wherein the diluent is an isoparaffinic hydrocarbon.
6. The insecticidal composition of claim 2 wherein the diluent is an isoparaffinic hydrocarbon.
7. The insecticidal composition of claim 1 wherein the diluent is an isoparaffinic hydrocarbon and the insecticidal ingredient is acephate.
8. The insecticidal composition of claim 7 wherein the co-solvent is selected from the group consisting of isopropyl alcohol, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and combinations thereof.
9. The insecticidal composition of claim 7 wherein the co-solvent is isopropyl alcohol.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/377,664 filed on Jan. 23, 1995, now abandoned, which is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 08/053,320 filed on Apr. 26, 1993, abandoned, which is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 07/689,180 filed on Apr. 22, 1991, abandoned.
This invention relates to insecticides, and, in particular, to novel formulations for the efficacious delivery of pesticides, water or solvent based insecticides which will not harm the ozone layer of the atmosphere when released.
Halogenated solvents, such as methylene chloride and 1,1,1-trichloroethane are common carriers, diluents and solvents for aerosol sprays. However, they have been restricted due to health and environmental concerns. To alleviate these concerns, many aerosol manufacturers shifted from solvent-based aerosols to water-based aerosols. Many of these aerosols used water as a carrier, dimethylether (DME) as a propellant, and a solvent. The use of DME as a propellant is well known. See for example U.S. Pat. No. 2,358,986 to McGovran et al. Because the insecticide is emulsified in the water, the prior art water-based aerosol insecticides do not have a sustaining good knock-down effect, and when sprayed on a porous surface, such as wood or drywall, the insecticide is significantly absorbed by the surface. As a result, the remaining solvent has a tendency to dilute the insecticide. Thus, consequently, there is not enough insecticide on the surface in sufficient toxic amount to be available for insects to receive in the required amount to effectively kill the same. None of the prior art insecticides disclose a formula wherein the active insecticidal agents are separated from the water or diluent upon release from the aerosol can in order to avoid the problem of dilution, absorbtion and slow knockdown. See for example U.S. Pat. No. 2,358,986 to McGovran et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,439,342; U.S. Pat. No. 4,439,343; U.S. Pat. No. 4,439,344; U.S. Pat. No. 4,483,783; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,826,674, all to Albanese; U.S. Pat. No. 4,487,334 to Werding; and, U.S. Pat. No. 4,381,066 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,384,661, both to Page et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,187,204 to Howard; U.S. Pat. No. 4,420,575 to Rapaport et al.; U.S. Pat. No. 4,450,253 to Suk; U.S. Pat. No. 3,207,386 to Presant et al.; and, U.S. Pat. No. 4,041,148 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,139,607, both to Simons et al.
One object of the present invention is to provide an effective, yet environmentally safe insecticide formulation.
Another object of this invention is to provide such an insecticide formulation which has good knock-down and kill capabilities for flying and crawling insects.
A further object of this invention is to provide such results that the target insects will be exposed to the undiluted insecticide which will remain on the surface upon which it is sprayed without being absorbed by such surface.
Other objects of this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the following description.
In accordance with this invention, generally stated, there is provided a water-based or solvent-based insecticide formulation in an aerosol, the insecticide comprises a diluent, at least one active insecticidal ingredient which is insoluble in the diluent, and dimethylether. The diluent is chosen from the group consisting of water and petroleum distillates, which can include isoparaffinic hydrocarbons, or other solvent or diluents in which the active component is not soluble. The dimethylether is a co-solvent which holds the active ingredients in solution with the diluent so that the insecticide is maintained as a homogenous liquid solution within the aerosol can. Upon releasing the insecticide, the dimethylether flashes and a two phase system forms, one phase comprising the diluent, and a second phase comprising said insecticidal ingredients.
The formulation insecticide may include a co-solvent to make production of the aerosol easier. The co-solvent is preferably chosen from the group consisting of isopropyl alcohol, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, and combinations thereof. Obviously, other equivalent co-solvents may work just as effectively.
The natural physical state of the active insecticidal ingredients are preferably a solid or an oil when not in solution. If the insecticide is to be used to kill crawling insects, the active ingredients can be chosen from any group including organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids, such as chlorpyrifos, propoxur, or cypermethrin, as examples. If the insecticide is to combat flying insects, the active ingredients are preferably chosen from the group consisting of natural pyrethrum, synthetic pyrethroids, and combinations thereof.
The flying insect insecticide may include synergistic agents. The synergistic agents preferably are chosen from the group consisting of piperonyl butoxide, N-octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide and combinations thereof, while many other like agents are readily commercially available.
The aerosol may include corrosion inhibitors chosen from any group including oleamide DEA, phosphate esters, sodium benzoate and sodium nitrate.
As can be obvious from that as reviewed herein, the concept of this invention is not only to provide a water-based insecticide, but an insecticide that may be water-based, or solvent-based, or a combination thereof, and emplaced within an aerosol can, so as to remain miscible within the solvent within the can, until sprayed. Such is the concept of the invention herein. The mixing of the insecticide with dimethylether, and a co-solvent, becomes a homogeneous mixture within the solvent in the can. When sprayed, the water or other solvents available dissipate, leaving the undiluted insecticide on the surface of the area sprayed or undiluted insecticide suspended in the air.
The use of dimethylether (DME) as a propellant has been known for some time. However, it is also a strong polar solvent which has been found to be able to hold active insecticidal ingredients in solution with a diluent while in an aerosol bomb (i.e. in an aerosol can). It has also been found that when the aerosol is released (discharged) the DME flashes off, allowing the insecticidal ingredients and the diluent to separate into two phases; the diluent being one phase, the insecticide being the other. This allows the insecticide to return to its natural physical state upon release, i.e., if the insecticide is naturally a crystal, it will crystallize upon release. Because the insecticide is separate from the diluent, it will not be absorbed into the contacted porous surfaces. Therefore, there is more insecticide available for insects to ingest, and the insecticide is thus more effective in application.
The aerosol is preferably made by combining the insecticidal agents and a corrosion inhibitor and dissolving them in isopropyl alcohol. Water is added next and then DME. The corrosion inhibitor is added to protect the aerosol can from corrosion which would otherwise occur due to the can's contact with the water ingredient.
The aerosol could be made without the use of the isopropyl alcohol, which only acts as a co-solvent. However, the use of isopropyl alcohol makes production easier and is thus preferred.
The following examples show various formulations of insecticidal aerosols made in accordance with the above procedure.
______________________________________Crawling Insect Insecticides______________________________________Example I0.505% Chlorpyrifos* insecticide10.000% Isopropyl alcohol co-solvent0.300% Oleamide DEA corrosion inhibitor59.195% Deionized water diluent30.000% DME solvent/propellent______________________________________ *O,O-diethyl O(3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinyl) phosphorothioate available from Dow Chemical U.S.A. under the trademark Dursban R 99%

Because the DME flashes upon release from the aerosol can, chlorpyrifos and propoxur, which are both solid, crystalline insecticides, recrystallize immediately upon release from the aerosol bomb. As they are not held in solution or dissolved in the water after release, the insecticide will remain on the surface upon which it is sprayed. It will not be absorbed into the surface to any appreciable extent. Thus, there is more crystalized insecticide readily available for insects to ingest or otherwise contact.
______________________________________Flying Insect Insecticide______________________________________Example IV1.250% Pyrethrum, technical insecticide0.278% d-trans Allethrin pyrethroid insecticide1.000% MGK-264* synergist1.000% Piperonyl Butoxide synergist18.000% Isopropyl alcohol co-solvent0.300% Oleamide DEA corrosion inhibitor33.172% Deionized water diluent45.000% DME solvent/propellent______________________________________ *MGK-264: McLaughlin Gormley King Co. trademark for Noctyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide

Benick and Company under the Trademark SBP1382. **Trademark of GAF Chemicals Corp for Nmethylpyrrolidinone.
Example IV includes synergistic agents to help increase the efficacy of the insecticides. In both Example IV and V, the insecticides and synergistic agents are all liquid oils, except that Resmethrin crystals are present as the insecticide. Upon dispensing, they form a highly atomized fog. The crawling insect formulae (Examples I-III) have a lower percentage of DME than the flying insect formulae. The lower percentage of DME in the crawling insect formulae reduces the amount of atomization. A high degree of atomization is not required for crawling insects because it is not desirable to spray a large area. It is preferable to concentrate the insecticide in the immediate area of the insect to be sprayed, or in proximity therewith.
______________________________________Example VI______________________________________ 3.080% Orthene Tech, 97% insecticide10.000% Isopropyl alcohol co-solvent36.920% Isopar L* diluent50.000% DME solvent/propellant______________________________________ *A trademark of Exxon Company U.S.A., a division of Exxon Corporation for a hydrotreated heavy naptha, petroleum consisting primarily of C11 -C13 isoparaffinic hydrocarbons.
In this example, Isopar L, an isoparaffin petroleum distillate operates in the same manner as the water in the preceeding examples. The combination of the co-solvents, and the solvent/propellant, together make a homogeneous mixture within the can, in order to sustain the dilution of the mixture within the container, until sprayed.
Numerous variations, within the scope of the appended claims, will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description and accompanying drawings.

When Hollywood wants to tug heartstrings, few real-life stories do it as well as those with animals
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Cujo was not based on a true story. Sadly, neither was Babe.
But when Hollywood wants to tug those heartstrings, few things send an audience reaching for tissues as quickly as a real-life story involving animals.
Lasse Hallstrom's 2009 drama Hachi: A Dog's Tale, is based on the real story about a faithful pooch who never failed to show up to greet his owner's train home from work. Richard Gere plays the man who rescues an adorable Akita stray, who repays the favour by being the world's most loyal companion.
As much a story about a marriage (starring Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson) as the underachieving yellow Lab of the title, Marley & Me was based on journalist John Grogan's book Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog.
Based on Farley Mowat's autobiographical book about working in the Arctic, Never Cry Wolf (1983) was directed by Carroll Ballard, who also directed Fly Away Home (based on the true story of Canadian inventor Bill Lishman) and The Black Stallion. Charles Martin Smith is in the lead role, exploring our relationships with wolves while giving insight into their complex society.
Similarly inspirational was the 1966 British-made Born Free, inspired by the real-life adventures of Joy and George Adamson, who raised an orphan lion cub in Kenya. They named her Elsa and faced the task of turning their oversized house pet into a wild animal in order to release her back into her natural habitat and save her from life in a zoo.
For those who like their animal adventures offshore, there's Dolphin Tale (2011), inspired by the true story of a young dolphin saved from a crab trap — and survived — thanks to human intervention and a custom-designed prosthetic tail courtesy of a scientist played by Morgan Freeman.
Andre is about an adorable poppet (Tina Majorino) whose family adopts an orphaned wee seal pup only to find he becomes a rambunctious, full-grown seal that causes no end of trouble with local fishermen. It's also based on a true story, although we have to wonder if it was really possible to get a seal to wear a Hawaiian shirt or did Hollywood take a few liberties?
Secretariat's Triple Crown track triumph is well known, but we get a backstretch story to go with it in Secretariat, starring John Malkovich and Diane Lane in the story of a horse that beat the odds.

The food and drinks were way overpriced. We felt like we were scammed. Staff was also reluctant to provide extra towels and knowledge for things to do locally.

Where Dogs Go to DiePosted 3-Mar-2015
This hotel is waaaay past it's prime. The owner needs to update drastically. The rooms are more motel than hotel; and I was very happy I bought my bleach wipes. My first night checking in - the room had not been cleaned. I had to request new sheets (as the ones there were covered in hair). To be fair there are good things about this hotel. 1.) I found the staff to be wonderful. They are just at a loss in dealing with a hotel in such a state, and 2.) The beach and location are fantastic - it's close to everything (walking). But I would prefer comfort in my room. Honestly the Howard Johnson is probably a better stay. In the end I'd say visit the bar and stay elsewhere. :)

nightclub with crash padsPosted 3-Mar-2015
This really isn't a hotel as much as its a nightclub with crash pads. The techno music blares late into the night (2:30am on Saturday), and it rattles everything. The rooms were filthy and full of beach sand, the beds were awful, the bathroom was dirty and smelled. The hotel staff was nice enough and it's truly right on the beach but it's not worth the money or your time. Avoid this place.

Awesome location, great beach, cool cool cool.Posted 25-Feb-2015
Highly recommended. Great food at hotel bar/restaurant, best section of beach around the area, tons of restaurants within .5 mile.

ひどいホテルだったPosted 24-Feb-2015

Het enige leuke aan dit hotel is de liggingPosted 11-Feb-2015
Pros: Niets!!
Cons: Zorgen dat de verblijfplaats niet een hotel genoemd zal worden, meer een overnachting in een disco
Location: Vreselijke omgeving, weinig aan te bevelen
Een vreselijke plek om te verblijven. Het is zo gigantisch lawaaiig, niet normaal meer om te kunnen slapen. Het lijkt wel een plaatselijke disco die ook nog kamers verhuren. Dit kun je geen hotel noemen!!. Er zijn 3 verschillende bedrijven die zogenaamd samen werken, vergeet het maar, Ontbijt is zeer slecht en je moet om een bon vragen om het te krijgen, wil je in de avond iets gebruiken van de bar dan zijn de prijzen ineens dubbel tot 3 dubbel verhoogd. Het enige wat goed was geregeld is dat je gratis gebruik kan maken van de strand stoelen. Een plek om nooit weer terug te komen. Je kan beter op de luchthaven blijven slapen. Is zeker stiller !!!

Right on the beachPosted 9-Feb-2015
The hotel itself is in need of repair (wicker chairs broken and missing cushions) but the location is perfect. Hotel is very close to some nice restaurants and grocery store. The hotel has some beautiful cabanas on the beach, but I would not use them after seeing staff straightening out the sheets on them every morning and not replacing them. The rooms were small but clean and if your okay with just a bath towel (hand towels and face cloths were not provided). Beach chairs, shade cover and towel provided by hotel I would stay there again but would not recommend if you want perfection.

Location was EverythingPosted 6-Feb-2015
Pros: Location
Cons: Rooms
Location: We didn't have a car so we took a short taxi ride from the airport. Then we were able to walk to nearby restaurants, etc. Took the bus to Old San Jua
Location was great but room left a lot to be desired. Room very small and outdated. No hair dryer-even at the front desk.

I never comeback to this hotelPosted 2-Feb-2015
One thing is what you see on expedia page and the opposite is what you get in the place. The rooms or hotel have nothing to mach with the pictures on expedia, I need to double check the page on my phone in the hotel to confirm that I am in the right place and I paid for that hotel. I will never coming back
