Introducing the first of a new series of cooking videos on technique, though admittedly this one focuses on an actual Le Creuset piece, the cocotte. I love these little dishes. They're great to cook in and great to serve in. I'm dying to do a little snail potpie in them. In this video, though, I'm cooking my favorite ingredient, the egg. How many ways can this little miracle of nutrition and economy be brought to ethereal heights of soul-satisfying deliciousness? Enough to fill a book or ten (wait for mine, coming in April). Here, I'm going with perhaps the easiest way of all to cook an egg, baked in an enclosed vessel. There are three different terms applied to eggs cooked in an oven. The second, after baked, is coddled: covered and baked in a Read On »

We are now in the full throes of summer, and there is no better cocktail to conclude a summer's day than a gin and tonic. It is simplicity itself. It can be made extra-special if you use an excellent gin and, more importantly, an excellent tonic. But an inexpensive gin and some diet Schweppes will do the trick if that and a lime is all you have or want. This is a seasonal drink. The bitter and bubbles refresh, the gin eases, and the citrus brightens. I like to use both lime and lemon, because lemon makes just about anything better and the bright color makes the glass more inviting. If you want to simply enjoy a cooling cocktail at the end of a hot day, then I encourage economy over quality. But if you Read On »
I was about 24 hours into my vegan experiment, planning to prepare pasta with asparagus and olive oil. In Ruhlman's Twenty, I write about what a felicitous pairing scallops and asparagus are and make a sauce by pureeing the stems and mounting the puree with butter, serving the reheated tips as garnish. Finding myself with a good bunch of asparagus, I thought, "I'll bet pureed asparagus makes an excellent sauce for pasta. But still it's going to need a little oomph. Hmmm. Perhaps some freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Oops, not strictly vegan. But maybe just a few shaving, it'll taste sooo much better." I was hungry, and the dish needed a little extra something, which in so many instances is solved simply by adding an egg. Oh hell, why not mount a good deal of butter into Read On »
We've been on the road visiting our son at camp and have returned to the usual sea of email and backlog of work. So forgive me for reposting this classic, the Mojito. I'm not sure if everyone has seen the nightly news, but there are reports of a widespread heat wave. Just wanted to make sure you all knew. So if you're in just about any place in the Lower 48, I definitely recommend preparing this cocktail in its traditional manner, in a highball glass, topped with soda water, plenty of it if temps are in the high nineties where you are. Originally posted June 8, 2012 I've loved seeing the mutability of cocktails simply by changing the spirit during these Friday Cocktail Hour posts.

One of the lucky perks about being an independent writer is that I can occasionally entertain invitations to exotic locales on someone else's dime. Not long ago I was asked by the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (institute! sounds academic, no? must be good for you) to visit Alaska. Several of the junkets were no longer available so I was clearly a last-minute fill-in invite. But this was not why I said no. It's a busy summer is all (thus the 2 posts a week, and a repeat cocktail coming up). But the kind lady who invited me, one Christine Fanning, a senior communications specialist with Schiedermayer Alaska in Anchorage, asked if she could send me some of the finest fish coming off the Alaskan fishing boats. That, Christine, is good communications! Sister Carri had brought Read On »

Haiti: Farmers against Monsanto
by Redaktion (comments: 0)
Haitian farmers are worried that giant corporations like Monsanto are trying to gain a larger foothold in the local economy under the guise of earthquake relief and rebuilding, according to AlterNet. Earlier this month, in the central square of Hinche, an agricultural town in Haiti's Plateau Central region, some farmers burned a symbolic quantity of hybrid corn seed donated to Haiti by Monsanto. They called on other farmers to burn any Monsanto seeds already distributed, and demanded that the government rejected further shipments. The actions were spearheaded by a regional peasant movement that claims 50,000 members, and the national coalition of some 200,000 members to which it belongs. Despite divisions among Haitian peasant organisations, several of the most important groups joined together.
Haitian agronomist Bazelais Jean-Baptiste said that the foundation for Haiti's food sovereignty was the ability of peasants to save seeds from one growing season to the next. The hybrid crops that Monsanto were introducing did not produce seeds that could be saved for the next season, therefore peasants who useed them would be forced to somehow buy more seeds each season. He continued that their primary goal was to defend peasant agriculture, an organic agriculture that respected the environment and to fight against its degradation, and to defend native seeds and the rights of peasants on their land. According to Monsanto, 130 tonnes of hybrid corn and vegetable seed out of a promised 475 tonnes have been sent so far. The rest, which will be hybrid corn seed, are to be delivered over the coming twelve months. The company stressed in a news release that the seeds were not genetically modified, but acknowledged that some seeds were coated with fungicides and pesticides.

New Delhi: Amid demands for scrapping the
Armed Forces Special Powers Act in the country, personnel from
various paramilitary forces got down to debating if human
rights and security-related duties can go hand in hand.
The annual debate organised by the National Human Rights
Commission (NHRC) and conducted by Indo-Tibetan Border Police
(ITBP) in the capital on Tuesday was won by the personnel of
the Border Security Force (BSF).
The debate is conducted since 1996 to promote human
rights awareness amongst security personnel.
A total of 64 police officers from Assam Rifles, BSF,
CISF, CRPF, ITBP, NSG, RPF and SSB participated in the
competition which was titled "Human Rights can be observed by
security forces without compromising national security
While 32 officers spoke against the topic, 32 others
spoke for the topic.
"Some speaking for the topic said human rights are not an
obstacle. It is a guiding tool. By following it forces can
win the hearts and mind of the common population. They can win
their confidence and loyalties, through which, they can get
intelligence and support base among the local population. By
winning loyalties of common man security forces can destroy
the support bases of militants and Naxals," a senior officer
who moderated the debate competition, said.
The others who spoke against the topic said security
personnel who get killed by terrorists and militants also have
human rights and they should be protected.
NHRC chairman KG Balakrishnan gave away the awards while
paramilitary chiefs of forces like ITBP, NSG and CISF were
present during the event.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
United States Patent 3,210,327 SYMMETRICAL DIOL ALKYL ESTERS OF ACRYLIC ACIDS AND POLYMERS THEREOF Francis R. Galiano and Gerald J. Mantell, Kansas City, Mo., and David Rankin, Kansas City, Kans., assignors, by mesne assignments, to Gulf Oil Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania No Drawing. Filed May 23, 1962, Ser. No. 196,914
36 Claims. (Cl. 26080.5)
This invention relates to novel diol compounds. More particularly, it relates to novel symmetrical diols consisting of 1,3-prtpane diols having a 2-acrylic ester substitucut. The compounds are represented by the following formula:
H 0 El ie CH2 (]C0O(CH2)n CR1 wherein R is a hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical (preferably hydrogen or methyl), R is a lower alkyl radical having one to four carbon atoms or hydrogen, and n represents an integer from one to four, inclusive.
The symmetrical diols of this invention are generally relatively high boiling liquids. They are water-soluble and are in general soluble in polar solvents such as lower alkanols, e.g., methanol and ethanol, and in acetone, dioxane, ethyl acetate, and the like. The compounds of this invention can be homopolymerized or copolymerized with another polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compound to form interpolymers. The polymers thereby provided have the interesting characteristic of being in most instances soluble in solvent combinations of water and water-miscible polar solvent such as acetone, ethanol, and the like. However, they on the other hand are not generally readily solubilized in Water alone.
Additionally, since the compounds are symmetrical diols as to both hydroxy functional groups, the compounds are readily reacted with a dicarboxylic acid agent to form polyesters. In polyester preparation, suitable elevated reaction temperatures will be used. Customary catalysts used by the skill of the art in polyester formation are desirably utilized. Suitable dicarboxylic acids for the ester formations include both aryl and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids illustrative of which are succinic, adipic, ophthalic, terephthalic, sebacic, 1,4-naphthalene-dicarboxylic, azelaic, glutaric, 3-ethylsebacic, and the like carboxylic acids. When appropriate, corresponding acid halides or anhydrides can be employed as the dicarboxylic acid agent. Relative proportions of the diols and dicarboxylic acids will be selected to insure polyester formation.
An important virtue of these polyesters is that they can be readily cured to form thermoset polymers conventionally by heating an admixture of the polymer and a catalytic amount of a free radical initiator such as a suitable peroxide, e.g., t-butyl perbenzoate. If desired, a quantity of a monomer can be added in preparation of the thermoset polymers to promote the linking of a double bonds of the acrylic substituents. Such monomers having unsaturation as styrene, triallyl isocyanurate, and the like can be employed for this purpose.
Furthermore, polyurethanes can be provided by reacting the diol with an organic diisocyanate such as toluene diisocyanate and hexamethylene diisocyanate, and the like.
The diols of this invention can readily be prepared as 3,210,327 Patented Oct. 5, 1965 ice by a mild aqueous acid hydrolysis of S-alkylene-m-dioxanyl acrylic esters such as disclosed in US. patent application filed concurrently herewith, Serial No. 196,916, by David Rankin et al. The following equation illustrates the hydrolysis procedure:
wherein R, R and n have the definitions set forth above. The carbon atom occupying position 2 in the dioxanyl ring can have any substituents to fulfill the valence requirements so long as the substituents do not prevent the necessary hydrolysis. The substituents are desirably both lower alkyl, suitably methyl, because of the relative ease by which such ketals hydrolyse to the desired compounds and the economy of such intermediates. However, other compounds having one or both substituents other than methyl can be employed. Illustratively speaking, the substituents can alternatively be ethyl, propyl, phenyl, or the like.
The hydrolysis is carried on by adding a suitable amount of the acrylic dioxanyl ester to an inert aqueous reaction solvent. Water is a satisfactory reaction solvent. The mixture is acidified'by adding a suitable acid. Mineral acids such as hydrochloric and sulfuric acid are satisfactory for this purpose. The pH of the reaction mixture is advisably lowered to about pH 5 or below, preferably to a pH in the range of about pH 2 to about pH 4. The reaction temperature can be room temperature but presently is preferred to be slightly above to provide a more eflicient and rapid hydrolysis, e.g., a temperature in the range of about 30 C. to about 60 C. is ordinarily satisfactory. A reaction time of from about one-half to about ten hours is ordinarily sufficient, depending on conditions and the intermediate employed. The reaction mixture is neutralized, is filtered, and the desired product is isolated as by extraction. Chloroform has been found to be a satisfactory extractant for aqueous reaction mixtures.
The ester exchange reactions by which the intermediate dioxanyl ester compounds of this invention are provided are conducted at an elevated temperature at which the desired S-m-dioxanyl acrylic ester is stable. Ordinarily it has been found useful to include in the reaction an ester exchange catalyst such as an alkyl titanate, e.g., tetrabutyl titanate, or any other useful ester exchange catalyst such as an alkali metal alkoxide, or an alkali metal oxide, hydride, or hydroxide, or the like. The catalysts can be employed in general in amounts which are catalytic in ester exchange reactions. In illustration, the S-m-dioX- anyl acrylic esters are provided by the following reaction:
The desired acrylic dioxanyl esters are isolated from the ester exchange reaction mixture by conventional procedures. For example, a relatively crude fraction of the desired dioxanyl esters can be obtained from the reaction mixture by fractional distillation. The crude products can be further purified as by extraction, precipitation, or distillation procedures of common knowledge to the art. In treating the reaction mixture, it is advisable to destroy any residual catalyst activity prior to isolation treatment as by adding water to the reaction mixture and by extraction of the desired compound therefrom with an inert water immiscible solvent in which the desired ester is soluble, for example, benzene, toluene, and the like.
The S-hydroxyalkylene-m-dioxanyl alcohols can be provided following conventional condensation procedures illustrated by the following reaction:
The symmetrical diols of this invention can be polymerized by following known methods for polymerizing acrylic type monomers. Polymerization can be conducted following bulk, solution, suspension, or emulsion polymerization techniques. Presently, it appears that solution polymerization results in a polymer having less cross linking and correspondingly greater solvent solubility than polymers produced by standard emulsion polymerizations. Conventional catalysts can be employed, and are ordinarily advisably used. Such referred to conventional polymerization catalysts include peroxide free-radical initiators such as benzoyl peroxide, tertiary butyl hydroperoxide, and tetriary butyl perbenzoate and the like; azotype free-radical catalysts such as alpha, alpha-azobis(isobutyronitrile), alpha, alpha'-azobis(ethyl isobutyrate), alpha, alpha azobis(isobutyramide), and the like; and persalts such as potassium persulfate and the like. It is desirable that the diol be free of ester exchange by-prodnets on polymerization, such as bis-esters, for example, Z-hydroxymethyl-Z-methyl-1,3-prpane diol bisacrylate or methacrylate.
The compounds of this invention can also be copolymerized with One or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers polymerizable therewith such as the alkyl esters of acrylic o-r methacrylic acid such as methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, octyl acrylate, and benzyl acrylate, acrylamides such as methacrylamide; vinyl esters such as vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate; vinylidene chloride; acrylonitrile; allyl compounds such as diallyl adipate; vinyl aryl compounds such as styrene and divinyl benzene; and other unsaturated compounds like butadiene and maleic anhydride. It is to be understood that at times some of the above mentioned monomers will not polymerize in all concentrations or in all proportions with all of the 1,3- propane diols provided by this invention. However, copolymers of this invention can be provided wherein a very small but efiective quantity of one or more of the above diols are incorporated. For example, an eifective quantity of a symmetrical diol can be as small as about one percent by weight up to about ninety-nine percent by weight. Preferably, the diols of this invention are contained in the polymers of the order of at least about two to about ninety percent by weight. It is to be understood that the exact concentration will vary depending upon the particular diol employed as well as the other ethylenically unsaturated monomer or monomers employed.
It is to be further understood that copolymers can be made with a mixture of two or more of the novel diols with or without utilization of additional ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
Certain agents and certain controls can be usefully employed in the polymerizations involving the acrylic ester. For example, control of temperatures and pressures can greatly contribute to the character of the end polymer products. It has been found that, when oxygen is excluded in for example a solution polymerization of the m-dioxanyl acrylic ester, the end polymers are relatively solvent soluble. However, if oxygen is present during the polymerization, apparently cross linking occurs and the end polymers are largely solvent insoluble. Certain agents acting as telogens can be employed. If emulsion polymerization is employed, emulsifying agents will be added such as fatty acid soaps, fatty acid esters of polyalkylene glycols, sulfated alcohols, or the like.
The polymers provided hereby are useful in coating various objects, as adhesives and are useful in molding and casting operations. For example, the'polymer can be ordinarily dissolved in a suitable solvent and laid down as a cast film. The end polymers can be foamed or they can be cross-linked as by application of heat or by the incorporation into the polymer mix a free radical providing catalyst such as peroxide catalyst.
The following examples illustrate the provided invention but are not to be interpreted as being in limitation thereof except as defined by the appended claims.
Example 1 A quantity of (2,2,S-trirnethyl-Sm-dioxanyl)methyl acrylate (5 g.) is added to 100 ml. of water and the solution pH is adjusted to pH 3 by the addition with stirring of dilute aqueous hydrochloric acid. The two phase reaction mixture is heated to 40-45 C. for 2 hrs. during which time the two phases become miscible. The reaction mixture is cooled, is neutralized by the addition of solid potassium carbonate, and is filtered. The filtered aqueous solution is extracted three times with chloroform. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the chloro form is removed leaving a residue of beta, beta-(bishydroxymethyl)propyl acrylate. The infrared spectrum of the product was in confirmation that the product is the propylene glycol desired.
The above procedure is repeated employing (2,2,5- trimethyl-S-m-dioxanyl)methyl methacrylate as the starting compound to provide the corresponding beta, beta- (bishydroxymethyl)propyl methacrylate.
Example 2 The following additional 1,3-propane diols of this invention can be provided by following essentially the ring hydrolysis process of Example 1. The appropriate RR -substituted S-alkylene-m-dioxanyl arcylic esters are employed where in the dioxanyl portion has the following structure:
GE -O CH The required acrylic dioxanyl intermediate is prepared and also described in the cited copending application.
H O I i l g moo H 0 nl mo-olIl The polymerization of beta, beta-(bishydroxymethyl) propyl methacrylate is carried out in an emulsion system. Sodium lauryl sulfate (0.2 g.) is dissolved in 7 ml. of distilled Water and 6.4 g. of the methacrylate is added. This mixture is placed in an addition funnel and is shaken vigorously to dissolve the monomer. Potassium persulfate (32 g. in 4 ml. of Water) and the monomer are added to a 100-ml., round-bottom flask equipped with a paddle stirrer, a reflux condenser and a gas inlet. The reaction mixture is heated to C. under an argon atmosphere and is stirred rapidly. After thirty minutes the remaining monomer emulsion is added dropwise over a onehour period. The reaction temperature is maintained for an additional approximately forty-five minutes, Whereupon the emulsion solidifies. The homopolymer product of beta, beta-(bishydroxymethyl)propyl methacrylate is relatively solvent insoluble.
The homopolymer of beta, beta'(bishydroxymethyl) propyl arcylate disclosed in Example 1 can be homopolymerized following the above emulsion polymerization procedure. Likewise, the monomers of Example 2 can be homopolymerized by this emulsion polymerization procedure.
Example 4 A solution copolymerization of beta, beta-(bishydroxymethyl)propyl methacrylate, styrene, and n-butyl methacrylate is carried out as follows: twenty milliliters of a butanol-xylene solvent (1: l by volume) is refluxed under argon for one-half hour in a lO-ml., three-neck, round bottom flask equipper with a gas inlet, reflux condenser, syringe cap, and a magnetic stirring bar. Argon is also bubbled through a mixture of monomers, 57 g. of the methacrylate, 84 g. of styrene, and 51 g. of n-butyl methacrylate for one-half hour at room temperature. A quantity of 0.4 g. of alpha, alpha'-azobis(isobutyronitrile) is then dissolved in 19.2 g. of the above monomer mixture. The monomer catalyst mixture is added dropwise with a syringe to the heated solvent mixture over a period of one-half hour. The reaction mixture is then heated for six hours at reflux temperature. After cooling, the reaction mixture is filtered to remove a slight amount of solid material. The filtrate contains the terpolymer of beta, beta-(bishydroxymethyDpropyl methacrylate, styrene, and n-butyl methacrylate.
Example 5 The procedure of Example 4 is repeated employing the following comonomer mixture: 26.5 g of beta, beta- (bishydroxymethyl)propyl methacrylate, 44 g. of styrene, and 20 g. of n-butyl rnethacrylate.
Additionally, following the polymerization procedures set out in Examples 3 and 4 above, the remaining 1,3- propane diols of Examples 12 can be homopolymerized and copolymerized with copolymerizable: ethylenically unsaturated monomers, e.g., acrylonitrile, butadiene, styrene, methyl acrylate, and the like.
Example 6 The terpolymers provided by Examples 4 and 5 above are cured according to following procedure: Solutions of the terpolymers are thoroughly mixed with 30 percent by weight of a butylated melamine formaldehyde liquid resin product having a 50 percent solids content (the product is sold under the trademark Cymel 245-8 by American Cyanamid Company). The curing admixture is heated for one-half hour at 150 C. at a pressure of one atmosphere.
The cured film product of the terpolymer of Example 4 has the following properties: a Sward hardness value of 68, a 60 gloss value of 98; and a film prepared from the cured terpolymer showed good resistance to butyl acetate, 5% sodium hydroxide, and a one-half percent aqueous solution of sodium lauryl sulfate at 73 C.
The cured film product of the terpolymer of Example 5 (provided by the above procedure) showed a 60 gloss value of 100, showed a very slight crazing in eight hours on exposure to butyl acetate, showed good resistance to five percent aqueous sodium hydroxide, and showed a slight blistering within two hours to exposure to one-half percent aqueous solution of sodium lauryl sulfate at 73 C.
Example 7 A homopolymer of beta, beta-(bishydroxymethyl) propyl methacrylate, is also readily obtained by mile hydrolysis of the homopolymer of (2,2,5-trimethyl-5- m-dioxanyl)methyl methacrylate. The homopolymer is obtained following conventional polymerization methods employing a bulk polymerization technique (as described in the above referred to copending application. The catalyst employed is 0.1 percent based on monomer weight of alpha, alpha-azobis(isobutyronitrile). The
preparation by hydrolysis of the homopolymer is carried on by adding one g. of the homopolymer to 17 ml. of an aqueous acetone solution consisting of 2 parts of water and 15 parts of acetone. The reaction mixture is acidified by the addition of p-toluene sulfonic acid to bring the pH to a pH of about 3. The temperature is maintained at 56 C. and the reaction is carried on for about one hour. Addition of more water is made from time to time to maintain the polymer in solution as the hydrolysis proceeds.
The provided homopolymer of beta, beta-(bishydroxymethyl) propyl methacrylate is isolated by the following procedurezThe homopolymer is precipitated by the addi tion of either additional Water or acetone. The homopolymer is removed by filtration, and is dried in vacuo.
The above procedure can be repeated to provide homopolymers and certain copolymers of the remaining monomers of Examples 1 and 2 wherein polymers of the corresponding S-alkylene-m-dioxanyl acrylic ester are employed as starting polymers. The 2,2-dimethyl-5-m-dioxanyl rings are converted then in the procedure to the required 1,3-propane diol structure.

1995 Lincoln Mark VIII Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review
Hey everyone, I just wanted to say thanks for bearing with me and the lack
of uploading lately. I have a ton of videos to upload including vintage,
exotics, new models, and some unique things to come. I have recently moved
into a new house for my 4th year pharmacy school rotations and have been
packing, unpacking, and dealing with all of this for a while. Now I'm
finally able to slowly start getting back into the groove of things. I
will also begin working on a new update video fairly soon to let you all
know what has been happening lately. Thanks a bunch and enjoy the future
vids to come!!!
Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! YouTube's largest collection of automotive
variety! In today's video, we'll take an up close and personal, in depth
look at the 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII. I now feature BOTH models and versions
of the Mark VIII. This 1995 and the 1998 refreshed body style LSC model. I
reference the LSC in this video also. If you would like to check out the
video on the LSC (although it's not a mint condition version) use this
During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the
vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel
economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach
you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed
fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership
yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique
differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it
would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion
with rev and Exhaust note with
interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car
designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will
find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world,
presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this
gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you
can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is
consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my
presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960
Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of
vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of
the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new,
exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have
built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted
to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be
sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's
Seat of YouTube!

1966 Lincoln Continental Convertible Suicide Doors Entourage Classic Car for Sale in MI Vanguard

on "How to Avoid the 7 Deadliest Mistakes of Buying a Classic Car Online"!
The Lincoln Continental was produced from 1939 to 1948 and again from 1956
to 2002. The Continental was a distinctively styled, highly equipped,
luxury car. Its name conveyed prestige. This generation of Continental is
favored by collectors and has appeared in many motion pictures, such as The
Matrix, The Last Action Hero, and the Inspector Gadget films. It has also
appeared in the television series Pushing Daisies, and recently in the
opening sequence of the television series Entourage.
The fourth generation Continental's most recognized trademark, front
opening rear doors, was a purely practical decision. The doors were hinged
from the rear when Lincoln engineers kept hitting the doors with their feet
when examining the back seats. The suicide doors were to become the
best-known feature of 1960s Lincolns. The Continental was the first postwar
four-door convertible from a major U.S. manufacturer.
Vanguard Motor Sales is proud to present this, two owner, 1966 Lincoln
Continental Convertible. Let me just say, if you are tired of being a
spectator at the car shows, and you are ready to get some attention, this
is the car for you. With the suicide doors, brand new Gangster white wall
tires mounted on the original wheels, and a power hide-away convertible top
that works without hesitation, you will be turning heads wherever you go.
This triple black Continental has a straight and solid body. The gaps and
panels line up perfectly, the doors open and shut without and problems. The
paint isn't perfect, but it is nice and shines up great. The chrome is in
average condition. The undercarriage is solid, as you can see from the
pictures. There aren't any holes in the pans or frame rot. The squared-off
grille houses the headlights, and sits above the chrome bumper, which
features the parking lights and front turn signals. The taillights are
fitted with a ribbed chrome grille on each side, and set in the rear
Pop the hood and you'll find the 462ci big block motor, with 80k original
miles. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and with the power
steering, this boat practically floats down the road. Power brakes are
another nice feature that really makes driving this convertible a true
Inside this convertible you will find the original black leather interior.
The walnut-paneling on the doors ads to the prestige look. Front factory
seat belts with retractors, a tilt wheel, and both power seat and windows
make for one comfortable ride. The A/C is currently inoperable, but who
needs A/C when you can put the top down?
Product breakdown for the 1966 Lincoln Continental consisted of 65% sedans,
29% coupes, and just under 6% for the four-door convertible. Total sales
were close to 55,000 in 1966, which means only around 3,200 of these 4 door
convertibles were made. How many do you think are left? This is an amazing
opportunity to own one of these luxury automobiles for a reasonable price.
It runs great, drives straight down the road and will be a great cruiser
for summer nights. Don't miss out on this opportunity, call today!

What a luxury car should be.
The History of Lincoln
Henry Leland, a former manager of the Cadillac division of General Motors,
and his son, Wilfred Leland, formed the Lincoln Motor Company in August,
1917. Leland named the new company after Abraham Lincoln, his hero and for
whom he cast a vote in 1864. Lincoln's first source of revenue came from
assembling Liberty aircraft engines, using cylinders supplied by Ford Motor
Company, to fulfill World War I government contracts.
After the war, the Lincoln factories were retooled to manufacture luxury
automobiles. Ford Motor Company purchased the Lincoln Motor Company in
1922, but Lincoln continued to operate as a somewhat separate company from
Ford through early 1940. On April 30, 1940 the Lincoln Motor Company became
the Lincoln Division of Ford Motor Company
At the direction of Henry's son Edsel, in 1923 several body styles were
introduced, that included two- and three-window, four-door sedans and a
phaeton that accommodated four passengers. They also offered a
two-passenger roadster and a seven-passenger touring sedan and limousine,
which was sold for $5,200. A sedan, limo, cabriolet and town car were also
offered by coachbuilders Fleetwood, Derham and Dietrich, and a second
cabriolet was offered by coachbuilder Brunn.
As the brand grew it developed several memorable vehicles, the Zephyr, the
Continental Mark II, the Lincoln Continental and recently the ubiquitous
Town Car.

Sick Duck
My duck has been acting strange for about a week now. Basically she looks drunk and staggers around when she tries to walk. The other ducks are fine. She is separated from them and has been getting cod liver oil (for extra vitamins) but so far no change. She still drinks and eats, but her appetite is slightly decreased now. Her eyes & nose are clear. And stools are normal. Thanks for your help!
Mine did the exact same thing..he had a seizure..as far as we know.I't in the breeding.what breed is your duck?Mines a pekin,,
He acted drunk and disoriented for about a week and a half,,but now he's a lot better.He's still a little clumsy sometimes,like when he tries to scratch the left side of his face,,he sometimes loses his balance. but other than that he's living happily with his mate.
I'm sure your duck will improve over time. good luck,
Sorry your duck isn't acting right.

What's it like?
I am an EMT-B interested in volunteering for a volunteer fire company. I wanted to hear some experiences from other volunteer firefighters. What kind of training do you go through? What do you usually do? What is it like being the new person around the fire house? Are the physical requirements for a volunteer firefighter the same as a career firefighter?
Thanks for all your help.
I hope this helps a little.
It's great to hear that your interested in becoming a firefighter. The training that you go though will depend on your local department, my department sends us to training though out our state if we want to. As far as what you will be doing that varies by department also. I live in a largely rural area so most of my calls are on the farm. Now for being the new guy, always be willing to learn whatever you can from the old timers, as you might already know being an EMT, also remember that at some point everyone was a new guy.
As for physical requirements that also depends on your department, my department really doesn't have any standard so long as you can do the job.
You can check with the department that your interested in joining and ask them. I hope this helps.Firefighter/ EMT-Basic

Great location on a nice residential block, just a short walk from the heart of downtown. The "en suite" bathroom is well-stocked with plush towels and all amenities you need. Sean is a wonderful host - we really appreciated the information print-out left on our bed letting us know the essentials about the house and the surrounding area (including where to get great coffee and breakfast).
My wife and I enjoyed a very nice stay at Sean's place. The suite is spacious, clean, and has a small balcony. The bed was very comfortable. The location is very convenient to downtown.
Sean is a very prompt and thorough communicator. I recommend his place for your stays in the Santa Barbara area.
The room in this great duplex home was ideal. It's exactly as described and in a great neighborhood. Sean even went out of his way to list out some top places in Santa Barbara for us ahead of time as we weren't in town for more than 24 hrs. He also had a parking spot organized for us when we came in. Sean is totally helpful and cool, and I would recommend this place to anyone. There's a good coffee shop with breakfast burritos down the street too if you need to grab something quick.
It was very nice to stay at Seans place. Great room and very silent area
Sean was a very welcome host. He made accommodations for our late arrival time and gave us recommendations of places to see while in Santa Barbara. The room was well maintained and the bed very comfortable.
The balcony was very nice to sit out on in the afternoon with the sun out. I would definitely stay here again if back in Santa Barbara.
Wonderful location that is relatively easy to find (Sean gave great instructions). Room and everything was exactly like description as well as neat and tidy. The host was also great at replying to all questions.
Sean prepared us with excellent directions to his place and provided a sheet of suggestions once there to help with details of his room and suggested places for breakfast. He met us at the door and showed us our room.
Hi, I'm Sean. I am so happy to be able to live and work in Santa Barbara. I work for UC Santa Barbara. I love sports, I went to school in the south east and have been fortunate to travel and live in many parts of the country.
