This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/313,230, filed on Dec. 5, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,634,525, which was, in turn, a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/349,894, filed on Jul. 8, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,530,500, issued on Mar. 11, 2003, the entirety of all these applications is hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to containers for viscous and other fluids and to improvements in the containment, dispensing and handling of the fluids; being more particularly, though not exclusively, concerned with architectural coatings such as paints and the like and to significant improvement in current paint can design.
Nearly all one-gallon and smaller containers of paint are sold in cylindrical metal cans having an upper edge with a groove that accepts the annular protrusion of a high friction metal lid secured by a press fit. This arrangement has many operational drawbacks that the industry has put up with for many decades. These include the lack of a locking mechanism that would prevent the friction lid, popping off if the can is dropped from a height as little as one meter, with consequent spilling of the contents widely on the ground. The lid, moreover, must be pried off with a tool to gain access to the paint, which proves a problem if no tool is available. The prying action, moreover, often damages the lid sealing surface. The can lip, furthermore, makes a very poor spout. When the paint contents are transferred to another container, they must be poured across the grooved upper edge of the can, which inherently retains some of the paint, and the paint running down the outside of the can often obscure the label, potentially reaching the users hands and the bottom surface. The can, indeed, must be wiped nearly every time it is poured. With the inside of the upper rim trapping paint as it is poured, the user is never able to extract all available paint even if a brush is used. The circular shape of the can opening, in addition, is ineffective for wiping a flat brush clean of excess paint. Every time paint is poured from a can, the groove that accepts the lid fills with paint and it is very difficult to clean completely. After repeated opening, pouring, and closing, in addition, the mating surface becomes fouled and the friction seal fails.
Perhaps the biggest drawback of the current paint can, however, resides in the splattering of paint from the groove as the lid is pounded back on. The pounding of the lid often damages both sealing surfaces, which again can cause the seal to fail. Furthermore, paint in and around the groove can dry out and flake, leading to paint contamination each time the can is jostled. While metal cans are coated to prevent rust, this coating often fails, which leads to rust and paint contamination. Paint cans, in addition, do not stack well, and little disturbance is needed to cause them to slide off of one another.
Many efforts have been made to address these and other problems associated with the conventional metal paint can. Some prior are improvements remedy to some degree some of the shortcomings mentioned above, but none, until the present invention, has effectively solved even a majority of these problems.
As an example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,669,526 discloses a plastic paint can that has a small-diameter, collapsible spout, non-contaminating lid seal, and straight edge formed in the can opening to facilitate brush wiping. This configuration, however, only addresses problems of paint contamination, messy pouring, and non-uniform brush wiping inherent in the conventional metal paint can. The narrow spout opening causes a slow pour rate and an undesirable chugging action as contents are poured.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,269,438 discloses a container with features designed to improve dispensing, such as a pivotally mounted carrying handle that is offset from the opening to provide access. It also has a wide pouring channel to improve flow, addressing to some degree a number of deficiencies. The pop top of the lid, however, is not very secure and the spout does not prevent paint running down the side of the container.
A plastic container having a threaded lid that closes the container either by screw-down or snap-on action is proposed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,453,647. A depression is formed in the lid to accept a mixing stick or the like to aid in tightening and undoing the lid. This configuration, however, only addresses the problems of paint contamination and the difficult opening and closing of the lid inherent in the conventional metal paint can. As the contents are poured, they can still coat container threads and run down the side of the container. A tool, in particular a paint mixing stick, not always available, is required, moreover, to open the lid.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,917,268, there is disclosed a liquid-dispersing package with a spout that has a drain back channel to return liquid drips to the container. This configuration, however, only addresses the problem of difficult, messy pouring inherent in containers intended for dispensing low viscosity liquids, but it does not work will with moderate viscosity fluids, such as paint. The tall and narrow design, moreover, eliminates the stackability of the container.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,054,661, as another illustration of attempts to improve the pouring operation, discloses a pouring spout that extends outwardly of the upper edge of the container, and an opposing handle projected from the upper edge of the container. It is also primarily intended to facilitate dispensing of paint during painting. In this invention, however, there is also no means to store the paint, and any unintended spillage during pouring will also wet exterior surfaces.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,619,373 discloses a plastic paint container with a lid that seals within the inner diameter of the rim at the top of the container, to eliminate the poor sealing characteristics of the friction lid of the metal paint can. It is still subject, however, to contamination of the seal by the paint itself, and does not provide for clean use or dispensing.
Another proposal, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,245,753 also provides a plastic paint container, but with a snap-on, screw-off type of lid. It also provides a stacking construction and a hollow handle. The design addresses the sealing and opening/closing problem with the metal paint can friction lid, and aids in stacking containers together. Like the other prior art, however, it does not provide for clean dispensing or use, nor does it address the difficulty that would be encountered with hand rotation of a firmly engaged, large diameter friction seal lid.
Numerous other prior art proposals provide for attaching auxiliary components to existing metal cans. Attachments are inherently deficient because they all require the additional operations of the attachment, removal, and cleaning which are inconvenient to the user. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,702,395 discloses a handle and pouring-spout arrangement intended for attachment to a conventional metal paint can. The spout has an optional paint-drainback section. This configuration, moreover, only attempts to solve the problem of difficult, messy pouring from conventional metal paint cans.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,949,884, as another illustration, a removable top to a conventional metal can is proposed to attempt to solve these problems of difficult, messy pouring from conventional paint cans. Again, it must be attached and removed not only for every opening and closing, respectively, but also every time a brush is to be used.
While the above-mentioned advances in the art each solve to some degree some of the major problems inherent in the conventional metal paint can, none of them solves a majority of the problems. Some, moreover, improve only a subset of the problems and make improvements at the expense of some current favorable can features. The present invention, on the other hand, synergistically solves nearly all of the major problems above-enumerated inherent in the conventional metal paint can.
A primary object of the invention, accordingly, is to provide a new and improved paint container for minimizing paint dripping and, in addition, simultaneously obviating the other previously described handling and operational disadvantages of current paint can containers.
Other and further objects will be explained hereinafter and are more particularly delineated in the appended claims.
In accordance with the present invention, a paint storage and dispensing product is provided. The product includes a plastic body defining an interior volume. The body has a bottom portion including a bottom wall and at least one side wall. A top collar is joined to the bottom portion. The collar has an enlarged opening extending therethrough for accessing the interior volume. A bail-type swing handle is connected to the body for holding the container. The swing handle has a grasp portion that is movable between a downward stowed position, wherein the grasp portion is disposed against the body and an upward carrying position, wherein the grasp portion is spaced above the body. A pouring guide is disposed in the collar and includes a pour spout extending upwardly above the collar to enable pouring of paint over the collar. A cap is engageable with the collar to close the opening. The cap has an interior height sufficient to accommodate the pour spout when the cap is engaged with the collar.
The paint and storage dispensing product preferably has two pairs of opposing side walls that are joined at rounded corners to provide at least part of the bottom portion of the body with a rectangular cross-section with rounded corners. Preferably an integral handle is formed in the bottom portion of the body at one of the corners.
The invention will now be described in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
A container 5 embodied in accordance with the present invention is illustrated in
The top of the lid 16 is shown provided with two integral hinge slots 68 in which the hinge pins 12 of the flip handle 10 are assembled. The top of the lid 16 has a recessed handle trough 18, in which the flip handle 10 sits when assembled with the lid 16. The trough 18 is formed between a set of trough rails 92. The top of the lid 16 has a set of stacking grooves 14 cut into the trough rails of the lid 16. The stacking grooves 14 are at the intersection of the trough rails 92 and an inside shoulder 36 of the lid 16. The stacking grooves 14 are circular, concentric with the diameter of the lid 16, and truncated at the edges of the trough rails 92. The flip handle 10 in the retracted position remains within the diameter of the lid 16, and does not block the stacking groove 14. The flip handle 10 may have a matching groove or indentation of sorts to prevent interference with the stacking groove 14. The flip handle 10 pivots up to 180 degrees about its hinge pins 12 when assembled in the lid 16, so that in the flipped-open position, the handle 10 protrudes from the outside of the lid 16 and can be used as a lever to turn the lid 16.
The flip handle 10 is wide and thick enough to withstand a lateral force used to unscrew the lid 16 from the body 24. The flip handle 10 is shown having rounded edges for user comfort. The flip handle 10, for example, may have an approximately 1-2 mm deep access cut 72 at the end opposite the hinge pins 12, and on the side of the flip handle 10 which rests on the bottom of the trough 18. The access cut 72 enables a finger or tool to be placed underneath the end of the flip handle 10 to pull it up. The flip handle 10 width is slightly smaller than the width of the handle trough 18. This is provided to prevent binding in the trough 18, yet to provide for transfer of applied turning force directly through the sides of the flip handle 10 to the lid 16 instead of to the hinge pins 12.
With reference to
The container body 24 is also illustrated as provided with an integral, hollow handle 26 recessed to fit within the overall shape of the body 24.
As before discussed, one of the important novel features of the container construction of the present invention resides in the dripless pouring spout 20 that can be seen in
The lid 16 has internal threads 60 that mate with the external threads on the collar extension 42 of the body 24. A circular gasket 44 is used between the lid 16 and jug body 24, near the threads of each member. The gasket 44 is made of a pliable, compressible material such as soft plastic or rubber, and seals the container 5 when assembled. The gasket 44 is installed in the lid 16 and retained there by a tightly conforming gasket groove 80. A flexible, circular splash seal 38 extends from the bottom of the lid 16 radially inside the threads, gasket 44, and spout 20, coincident with the outside wall of the recessed lid top. The beveled edge 34 of the jug body 24 forms a mating surface for the splash seal 38, which is made long enough so that the splash seal 38 will not hit the top of the wiping edges 22 when the lid 16 is screwed on the body 24. Below the wiping edges 22 on one side and the beveled edge 34 on the opposite side of the opening 78, the jug body has an inner lip 66 that is a smooth contoured transition from the inside of the body 24. The lip 66 is shaped so material poured out of the body 24 will not be trapped inside in the upside-down position.
Operation of the Container—
The container 5 of the invention is well suited for storage and access of viscous fluids. The presence of the rigid swing handle 28 or flexible swing handle 48 and integral handle 26 allows multiple one-handed or two-handed positions when holding or carrying the container 5, or pouring material from it. The handles also allow for multiple positions, with one hand holding or carrying the container 5, while accessing the material within it through the jug body opening 78 with the other hand. The shape, size and location of the integral handle 26 also allows different relative positioning of the arm whose hand is holding the integral handle 26, either straight on, perpendicular to the container 5, or at the side, tangential to the container 5. It also allows for carrying two containers 5 with one hand, if the hand is at least average adult-sized.
The thin edge of spout 20 provides for the minimum amount of spillage from a viscous fluid poured from the container 5, which will adhere to the back surface of the spout 20 as it is tipped back to an upright position. The combination of the spout 20 extending higher than the threaded extension 42, and the gap between the spout 20 and the threaded extension 42 at drip catch 40, prevents spillage onto the sealing surface at the top of the threaded extension 42 and onto the threads themselves. This helps to keep them clean for optimal use and storage with the container 5. Drip catch 40 also provides a reservoir for, and traps such viscous fluids poured from the container 5, which otherwise would drain down the outside of the spout 20 onto the threads. In order for this arrangement to work properly, however, the drip catch 40 can not be allowed to contain too much fluid or it would pour out from that area at the same time as the main body 24 when tipped. The function of splash seal 38 is to prevent this from happening.
This splash seal 38 prevents any significant amount of fluid from getting into the drip catch 40 or on the sides of the threaded extension 42 when lid 16 is on. As the lid 16 is screwed on, the splash seal 38 engages with beveled edge 34 at the same time the lid 16 engages with gasket 44. The gasket 44 compresses as the lid 16 is turned further, providing a seal for the container 5. As the gasket 44 compresses, the splash seal 38 flexes inward down the beveled edge 34 until the lid 16 is completely seated against the threaded extension 42. This way, by keeping the drip catch 40 and inside surface of the threaded extension 42 free of fluid material, external threads 42 and gasket 44 will remain clean so long as the container 5 is only tipped to pour material out in the direction of the spout 20. To illustrate further, if a significant amount of fluid is allowed to get into the drip catch 40, this fluid could then pour out over the top sealing surface of the threaded extension 42 and onto the threads the next time the container 5 is tipped for pouring. Preventing fluid from getting into those areas, in accordance with the construction of the present invention, allows for shaking the container 5 to mix internal fluids, or for other normal uses, while assuring the gasket sealing surface and threads stay relatively clean.
One way a person can open or close the lid 16 of the container 5 is simply to grasp the lid 16 around the flip handle 10 in the half-moon shaped sections of recessed lid top 32 with one hand, and the integral handle 26 with the other, and turn the lid 16. Alternately, flip handle 10 assembled in the lid 16 is used for leverage in manually screwing the container 5 open or closed. First a person uses a finger (or, if available, a small a tool such as a screwdriver) to flip open the flip handle 10 all the way. Then the person grasps the integral handle 26 with the other hand and applies a force to the flip handle 10 while taking the reaction out with the hand at the integral handle 26. Obviously, the flip handle 10 and recessed handle of the lid 16 can be used concurrently if convenient to do so.
Access to the material inside the container 5 is provided through the opening 78. Wiping edges 22 are provided for wiping off a brush or the like dipped into the fluid in the container 5, such that the fluid wiped off the brush or other device, will drain back into the container 5. The material in the container 5 may also be poured out completely, which is facilitated by inner lip 66 which provides a smooth geometry that will not trap any fluid in the upside-down container position.
A plurality of the containers 5 may be stacked on top of one another for storage in a stable fashion, facilitated by the stacking groove 14 in the lid 16 and integral stacking ring 46 on the bottom of the jug body 24, as before described.
Alternate Constructions
In order to provide a more producible version of the container 5, it may be desired to make the jug body 24 out of two separate pieces, and then use a commercially available adhesive or fasteners integrally to connect them. One likely separation point is at the interface between the externally threaded extension 42 at the top of the body 24 and the remaining features radially inside it. This corresponding inner piece would consist of the wiping edges 22, the beveled edge 34, the spout 20, and potions of the bottom surface of the drip catch 40 and of the inner lip 66. The pieces may then be able to be fabricated with other less expensive techniques than blow molding or injection molding or with less expensive tools and machines. Similarly, the lid 16 and flip handle 10 may be fabricated by other means as opportunity allows for improved costs, such as stamping or extrusion.
To provide a stronger hinge pin on the flip handle 10, it may be desirable to construct it out of a metal material such as stainless steel. In its place, in the handle, would be tight fitting hole, in which two separate hinge pins or one long pin through the handle would be installed.
The same flexible swing handle 48 is shown in
Further modifications will also occur to those skilled in this art, and such are deemed to fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Advantages of the Container of the Present Invention
In its objective for improving the dispensing, containment, and handling of fluids such as architectural coatings and the like, the container 5 of the present invention has been particularly optimized for paints, wherein dispensing involves the opening, distribution of contents by pouring or extracting with a scoop or brush, cleaning, and closing of the container 5. Current paint cans, as before explained, require the use of tools such as a screwdriver or the like for opening the lid. Screwdrivers often damage paint can lids and ruin the can seal. Prying open the lid becomes more difficult, furthermore, the more the can is used. It is much easier to open the lid 16 of the present invention because it is screwed on, and has built-in leverage to tighten and loosen it, and has design features in the opening and spout 20 of the container 5 to prevent the threads from getting contaminated with the fluid from inside. No additional tools are needed, and the handles that are provided for leverage fully retract within, or are already integrally part of the container 5. Once the lid 16 is rotated approximately one third of a turn, the friction seal is released and little resistance is left. An additional recessed lid grip is then used quickly and easily to unscrew the lid the rest of the way, until open.
The present invention substantially eliminates paint from reaching the exterior surface of the container 5 during pouring through its spout design that is optimized essentially to eliminate dripping onto the container exterior, specifically on the threads or label. Its unique shape minimizes dribble over the spout; and a non-draining groove or trough behind the spout traps what little dribble may somewhat occur. Pouring, in accordance with the invention, is thus a vastly cleaner operation that requires little or no clean-up before closing.
The invention also improves pouring accuracy and comfort, as well. The spout 20 pours more uniformly than a conventional paint can. The fluid stream is narrower and more cylindrical. This enables more accurate pouring. The use of the integral handle 26 and swing handle 28 or 48 during pouring is more comfortable than holding a paint can by the bail and can bottom. The handles also provide better control, which also improves pouring accuracy.
The design of the present invention, furthermore, improves dispensing of paint by brush. A brush is typically wiped on one or both sides to remove excess paint after it is dipped into the can. When a brush is wiped against the cylindrical opening of a conventional paint can, only excess paint from the edges is removed. The invention provides two straight wiping edges 22 at the back of the opening 78 at right angles to each other. Being straight, the wiping edges 22 remove excess paint uniformly from the brush as it is wiped. The edges being only 90 degrees apart, makes the wiping of both sides more convenient with less hand motion due to being closer together. A brush wiped against a conventional paint can opening must be moved across the entire opening, which is less convenient.
Many users, moreover, hold paint cans as they brush. The bail and associated can geometry is uncomfortable. The integral handle 26 of the invention, on the other hand, can be held in two positions. One method is to grasp the handle 26 as one would any vertical handle, such as one commonly seen on a plastic gallon milk jug. The other method is to put one's fingers through the integral handle 26, palm towards the jug, and grasp the container 5 with the hand. Each method is significantly more comfortable than holding a conventional paint can.
As before intimated, conventional paint cans may require a hammer or similar tool for closing. This often damages the friction lid and ruins the seal. As mentioned before, paint splatter is common due to paint left in the trough. After sufficient drying time between repeated uses, dried paint can completely foul the friction lid seal and render the paint can useless for storage. If the lack of seal is not identified by the user, the contents may congeal or solidify in storage. Closing and resealing the container 5 of the invention is vastly improved since its threads and sealing surfaces remain clean after use. As a result, it will store fluids longer and keep them from becoming contaminated or drying out. The spout 20 and screw on the lid 16, in addition, eliminates any pooling of paint that could cause splattering or fouling of the seal. The built-up flip handle 10, recessed lid grip, and integral handle 26 in its body eliminate the need for any tools for closing.
The design of the container 5 of the invention also improves containment. Fouling of the seal is eliminated and thus preservation of contents is assured. The improved sealing features of the device ensure endurance of the paint quality. The container 5 is preferably of plastic, so the formation of rust, which is common on paint cans, is eliminated. The invention also has the splash seal 38 inside the lid 16 that isolates the container opening 78 from the spout 70 and sealing surfaces. This seal blocks paint from reaching the gasket seal 44 and the spout 20 of the container 5 during handling and shaking. By keeping these two items free of paint, seal integrity and clean pouring are respectively maintained far better than with a conventional paint can.
Hand transport and general handling of the container 5 of the invention is also superior to conventional paint cans. The user has a choice of using the integral handle 26 or an exterior, rigid swing handle 28 depending on the situation. The rigid swing handle 28 offers the same conveniences as the bail on conventional paint cans. The integral handle 26 is more comfortable, sturdy, and offers more control over the container 5 when it is full.

Sign the Petition to Label GMO Foods!Posted by Christy Goldfeder on October 30, 2012
Do you really know what's on your plate? Tomorrow's Halloween, but many consumers are actually getting tricked all year round. Even if you try to make healthier food choices, there's a dirty secret that the big agricultural companies don't want you to know about.
Your plate may contain "Frankenfoods" that are not found in nature. Genetically engineered foods are created through bioengineering and can be made from inserting genes from one species into another. (Think fish genes added to tomato genes.) These combinations are intended to bring out desired traits, ward off pests, or withstand herbicides and pesticides used in their cultivation.
The problem is that genetically engineered foods are unlabeled, so you don't know you're eating them. And most Americans are eating them every day. In fact, genetically engineered ingredients are in 75% of the foods on America's supermarket shelves.
Though the FDA deems these foods "Generally Recognized as Safe," GMOs have never been tested, so no one knows for sure what effect they're having on our bodies.
Worst of all, GMOs have also been linked to toxic and allergic reactions in people, and to sickness, sterility, and fatalities in livestock. They have also shown to be linked to damage to virtually every organ studied in lab animals.
While many European and South American countries have outright bans against genetically engineered foods in their regions, America doesn't even label GMO foods as such.
What can you do?

"The customer service, I received was out-st-anding!!!!!!!!!!! I dig shoes and my Nikes were a giddy up. I would refer over and over again. I am very pleased and will shop, using this site again."
"So easy! I have my order in 1-2 days, FOR FREE. And when I returned something it could not have been easier. I actually ordered 2 colors of something because I couldn't decide. Then returned one with great ease. "
"I ordered a pair of converse on a thursday and got them shipped here within only a couple of days on the next monday! I also recieved free 2-business-day shipping which was very nice. There were no issues, i'd definitely recommend anyone to shop at Zappos."
"Shoes are of very good quality.
I am a regular purchaser of zappos shoes and have never been disappointed."
"I honestly have no idea how Zappos can get a 7 rating. I have used this site over the years and have quietly thanked the people who created this business. Zappos is the best online merchant. Super fast and super easy ordering, shipping, AND FREE RETURNS! If Zappos has the item I want, I would not buy it anywhere else."
"Wrote a review for another online store but since I'm here, I thought I'd rate Zappos, too. I love Zappos! They have a wide range of product from inexpensive, to quite pricey, and expensive ones. Super fast delivery, by the way! "

LUREC Restoration Work Days
The monthly restoration work day was held at LUREC on Saturday, July 13. Eleven volunteers, braving the mosquitoes and other wetland creatures, focused on clearing some of the damage from the intense rain storms of late June. The volunteers cut up a large 3-stemed box elder that blew down in the wetland. Fortunately, it was a tree that was intended to be removed. The root system had been partially torn from the ground, and the trunk lay horizontally with the roots and attached soil vertical. As the volunteers started cutting away the upper branches, the roots and lower trunk began to rebound, bringing the lower trunk into an upright position. Box elders are full of surprises!
The prairie flowers are being watched with great interest and anticipation following our spring burn. Some of what has been seen in the area just off Country Cloud Road includes: Butterfly Weed, Prairie Coreopsis, Pale Purple Coneflower, Wild quinine, White Wild Indigo, Golden Alexanders, Purple Joe Pye Weed, Great St. John's Wort, Panicled Trick Trefoil, Mountain Mint, and Culver's root.

If you thought you saw a four-legged friend walking around the Y, you were not mistaken! Since 2007, our YMCA has hosted approximately 40 Guiding Eyes for the Blind puppies in pre-training! Noel, a 16-month-old Labrador Retriever, left for New York Friday, January 23rd, for her In-for-Training Test. Her raisers, the Mulcahy family, Daniel, Danny, and Teresa, brought Noel to the West Cabarrus Y frequently because the facility offers diverse training opportunites for these puppies with a purpose.
"All our guide dog puppies need to experience various public places for training. Without the Y's partnership, we couldn't do what we do on a regular basis. The Y has been so gracious and welcoming," said Belvie Gilleland of Guiding Eyes for the Blind. If you would like to lear more about Guiding Eyes puppies, go to www.guidingeyes.org.

What are these pods I found in my electrical outlet?
I just bought a house built in the 50s and found maybe 10 little dark brown pods behind the plate in one of the kitchen outlets. they are about the size of beans, but they are not beans... they are hollow like an exoskeleton but some are still completely intact. Are they some type of egg?
here is a link to a picture..
You're right, they are egg cases......I knew what they turned into, but didn't know they didn't pupate. That's why I asked the poster to email me so that I could explain discretely what they were. Gosh guys, I'm sure there was a more delicate way to handle that answer.
If you still have them, you'll know it.
Hint: lots of scurrying when you turn the lights on in the middle of the night.
DIY bug bombs just make them stronger. Invest in a professional.
When I managed rental properties, cockroaches were endemic. Between occupancies, I'd sometimes have to soak the house in Diazinon 1%. However, it's been banned for residential use in Canada and the US for a decade; and Canada is phasing it out for agricultural use.
Don't freak out yet. They're not that bad sometimes. :)
Are you in the country or city? In the city it can be harder.
Every time you open up a wall or hole, put in large amounts of boric acid. You can puff it through cracks with a turkey baster. They get their toes in it and wash themselves and get sick and die. It lasts forever and if you put it behind walls and under cabinets, nobody who is supposed to be in your house will get into it.
Also, check with your local ag extension service--they may have suggestions for your particular area.
And remember, those egg cases could be 50 years old and the cockroaches may be long gone.

The ongoing investigation into the overtime charged by a former Vermont State Police trooper has found that he wrote 973 traffic tickets over 12 years that were never given to a motorist or filed with the court.That conclusion is among the latest findings in an investigation into alleged time-sheet padding by Sgt. Jim Deeghan, a former state police patrol commander in Chittenden County.The details were in an affidavit filed by Detective Lt. Robert Cushing, who is investigating Deeghan's overtime practices.
The immediate supervisor of a former Vermont state trooper charged with falsifying his time sheets has been transferred to police headquarters in Waterbury.The Burlington Free Press reported the transfer of Lt. Marc Thomas yesterday. Thomas had been the station commander at the state police barracks in Williston since May 2010.Thomas said he was unsure how long the transfer would be in place.
Vermont authorities say they would try to collect any over-payments that may have been made to a former state trooper charged with falsifying his time sheets.County Attorney T.J. Donovan has filed a lien on former Sgt. Jim Deeghan's home, which was put up for sale.The Burlington Free Press reports Donovan wrote to Colchester Town Clerk Karen Richard that the state is trying to protect its interests by filing the lien. He wrote if convicted, Deeghan could face a possible restitution order.
A 22-year veteran of the Vermont State Police who resigned after possible time-sheet fraud is facing charges.

Poor housekeeping performance / poor desk service
26 March 2015
i stayed at this hotel for one night. Everything was acceptable until the morning hours. I had placed the "do not disturb" sign on my door and was attempting to sleep a little later in the morning. Housekeeping could be heard tapping on the adjacent room doors and announcing themselves before entering. If this was all I heard that would have been acceptable. Upon entering the rooms they made no attempt to minimize the noise generated by the room doors when they slammed shut. Housekeeping should be instructed to close the doors slowly to minimize the noise. Checkout time is 12 noon. Even though the "do not disturb" sign was on my door, housekeeping attempted entry to my room at 11:10 am. They used their key and started to open the door. Upon checkout, I told the desk personnel of my dissatisfaction with the housekeeping service and they did not apologize or offer to pass the information on to management. They proceeded to make excuses and tell me how heavy the doors are and they close themselves. I already know this!!!! When I return to my room late in the evening, I hold the door and allow it to close slowly so it doesn't disturb other quests. I spent 84 nights last year and 19 nights so far this year in IHG hotels and this is the first time I have a bad review.

Hmmm, good reasonings and insights so far, thanks!
I know there many different types of delicious lagers out there... I was more thinking along the lines of "I want to brew a Celebrator clone...why would I use a lager yeast? Why not make it techinacally and ale and save myself time some trouble (fermenting low with a clean ale yeast). Is the difference worth it?"
I mean, I've never had a Celebrator brewed with an ale yeast, so I can't say. I love full flavor beers, but I also love clean and crisp lighter beers too. I'm more curious if ale and lager yeasts are really so different. It seems that the clean/crispness of a great lager cannot be matched by an ale, from what I'm reading...it lets the malt/hop flavored through more on their own...
I've yet to find a "clean ale yeast" that matches or even nears the cleanliness of a lager yeast, especially for the "fizzy yellow" variety of them. With darker styles, maybe, but even the most cleanest ale yeast, no matter what temp you try brewing it at, it's not totally clean.
I think the biggest thing is the lager phase, in the cold the yeast still continues to go back and clean up after itself. Even better than an ale yeast in a long secondary or extended primary.
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew

A world without lager is just as bad as a world without ale.
Helles is brilliant in it's taste and origin.
If Celebrator didn't exist, my life would be incomplete.
I love brewing crystal clear lagers in addition to my ales. I also love the challenge of brewing lagers in a controlled environment, and tinkering with making starters at lager temp and room temp in an attempt to perfect my process.
Im currently lagering my first lager, with help from the afore mentioned Michigan weather. I pulled a sample when moving to secondary and I gotta tell you it was one of the smoothest and most refreshing beers ive ever had, and its not done or carbed yet! Its definately worth delving into.

Christopher Heine | October 6, 2011 | Comments
They tout performance metrics for their ad units.
Facebook and Twitter have released new ad-related data in conjunction with Advertising Week, which ends tomorrow.
Let's begin with Facebook. Its partner, Nielsen, reported on Monday that broad targeting (e.g., adults aged 18 to 54) for ads across the web - excluding Facebook - is far more effective than narrow targeting (e.g., women 18 to 34). The former tactic hits the mark 72 percent of the time, according to a Nielsen blog post, while narrow targeting only produced the same result at 35 percent.
David Fischer, Facebook VP of advertising and global operation, compared the cross-web Nielsen data with Facebook-specific numbers during a speech in New York on Tuesday. Citing research from Nielsen's Online Campaign Rating (OCR) system, he said Facebook ads that use broad targeting hit the mark by more than 95 percent, while narrow targeting on the social site achieves at least 90 percent.
Meanwhile, Adam Bain, Twitter's chief revenue officer, said at the IAB MIXX conference on Tuesday that his company now has 1,600 brand advertisers. This includes the micro-blogging site's Promoted Tweets, Promoted Products, and Promoted Trends products. Around the same time last year, Twitter only had a handful of paid advertisers.
In addition, on its blog Monday, the San Francisco-based Internet firm said marketers have seen an engagement rate between 3 and 5 percent for Promoted Tweets. "Engagement rate" entails clicks on a link in a tweet, retweets, favorites, and replies to a tweet.

From the moment we walked in we knew this was going to be our favorite vacation home! Within an hour of our arrival we had on the snowshoes that the owners provide and we were out enjoying the sights in back of the house along the Saco River. The kitchen has the look and feel of a farmhouse and it's very well stocked and the large fireplace is situated in such a way that it can be enjoyed from the kitchen as well as the living room. I couldn't get over how roomy and comfortable the bedrooms were and it was great that each one had its own private bath. I can't think of anything that I didn't like except that I wasn't staying longer. Linda & Jay were great and so willing to do anything to make our stay enjoyable. You can bet we'll be back again!'
Very warm beautifull historical house.
Nothing was missing for our comfort. Plenty of dishes and glasses for 10. The beds are confortable and clean. The house may need a little bit of love (Ceiling cracked,...). It's a bit cold on the second floor. You may need an independent heater in the bathroom. We live in an 19 century house and we always appreciate old houses. Overall, I would recommend it.
Wonderful Experience
We had a wonderful weekend at this home. Everything was perfect for a holiday escape from the city. Our kids loved all of the rooms, the sled-riding hill, and the nearby towns (cute diners, candy stories...) We would highly recommend this house and location!
