Curtis Harwell Discusses What The Endocrine System Does and How it Works
in Fitness
The endocrine system controls the way your body functions. It produces hormones that travel to all parts of your body to maintain your tissues and organs. Here are a few of the areas governed by the endocrine system:
Responses to stress and injury
Growth and sexual development
Body energy levels
Internal balance of body systems
Bone and muscle strength
Adrenal glands - influence the way your body uses energy, they also release a hormone called adrenaline when you are under stress
Hypothalamus - part of your brain that controls hormone production by releasing different chemicals to the pituitary gland
Ovaries - produce estrogen and progesterone in women, and also release egg cells
Pancreas - releases the insulin your body needs to metabolize sugar; problems with the pancreas can lead to diabetes
Parathyroid - located behind the thyroid gland, they are essential for proper bone development
Pineal gland - connects the endocrine system with the nervous system; produces several important hormones, including melatonin, important to sleep/wake cycles and sexual development
Pituitary gland – likely the most important gland in your body, it is crucial to growth, mental development and reproduction; influences or controls the rest of your endocrine system
Testes - produce the hormone testosterone; in men, testosterone maintains sperm production and bone mass
Thymus - crucial to normal immune function in childhood; once a child reaches puberty, its tissue is replaced by fat
Thyroid gland – located in the front of your neck, it releases hormones that control your metabolism and govern the way your body uses energy

Planet Gold:White Powder of Gold and the Christian forgery / w Baniti Amun Re
Planet of Gold is a fascinating and meticulously researched account of the first stirrings of the Earth, when alien gods mastered our universe. Paris' hypothesis of these gods sending tons of gold from our planet may challenge your beliefs, but with great skill, he weaves a believable and astounding conclusion of why religions developed and how these beliefs have become permanently intertwined in our history. The gold of Earth, transformed into a "monatomic super-conducting gold powder", could bring health and longevity. Additionally, it was a powerful and clean energy source. The knowledge about gold powder was the explicit privilege of the gods. For us, it has been classified as "forbidden knowledge." The gold, and the gold powder, was the reason behind such events as the creation of man, the confusion of the tongues, the destruction of cities, and the introduction of religions like Christianity and Islam. Their action, to violently deprive us from using gold powder, is visible in our current state of being: a world dominated by diseases, mental enslavement by religious dogmas, and pollution leading to a climate crisis. This book is a stunningly revealing look at ancient kings, prophets, secret societies, the Holy Inquisition, the Bible, and other religious Recent findings about the exotic properties of monatomic gold and the platinum group metals are rediscoveries of an advanced science understood or at least known by the ancient Mesopotamian, Egyptian.Most herbal companies do not address the pineal gland. This gland has been a very neglected gland in the Western world, at least up until recent times, but research shows that it is the most important of all the glands of the body and the body's endocrine system.

Basic Anatomy and Physiology for the Music Therapist
in Health
Daniel J. Schneck is my guest today and will be talking about his forth-coming book, Basic Anatomy and Physiology for the Music Therapist. Providing need-to-know information about the human body for music therapists, this book covers the elements of anatomy and physiology that are of particular relevance to clinical practice.
Addressing both the structure and function of the human body, the material is presented with the music therapist in mind. Particular attention is paid to the role of music in affecting responses from the organ systems, including the senses, the endocrine glands, the immune system, the musculo-skeletal system, the nervous systems and the vestibular system. Dr Schneck also uses accessible musical metaphors to explain complex biological information.
Emphasising the symbiotic relationship between music and the body, this book reveals how an understanding of this relationship can help music therapists to practice more effectively, and will be of interest to students and practitioners alike.
The author's previous co-authored book, The Music Effect (ISBN 9781843107712), has sold over 2200 copies since Dec 2005.
Dr Daniel J. Schneck is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the Biomedical Engineering Society. He has published widely, including 24 books, and is a National Book Award nominated author. He is an international consultant on basic physiological function and the role of music in human adaptation. He is also an accomplished violinist and continues to perform professionally. He is based in Virginia, USA.

There are certain sounds that are evocative enough to promise trouble is upon you.

There were no designated run plays in the fourth quarter. The final 19 plays run were all passes. "We have to re-commit to the running game.''

I stuck up for ESO, but now I'm done ( list )
Reviews & Impressions « Elder Scrolls Online
Originally posted by Hariken
The latest patch seemed to be really messed up with an hourly crash-to-desktop memory leak, random world mobs that were harder to fight than most bosses (especially in VR content), getting stuck trying to enter certain buildings, and a few other things gone wrong. I was starting to get upset & wondering how they could release such a un-tested mess. Then I had a system message pop up yesterday that said they were out to sweep the game of bots, and if anyone spotted one to report them right away. I realized all those glitches weren't part of the patch, but temporarily in place for the sweep. Now that the dust has settled it feels like ESO again. I haven't seen any bots running around, and harvest nodes are everywhere... just like they were in early access. Mobs seem back to normal and I've noticed far fewer occurrences of input lag since the bots were purged. I think the speed hacks they used were part of, if not the cause of the input lag.

Total Newbie to Darkfall Early Game Impressions & Observations
General Discussion « Darkfall: Unholy Wars
Nice write up, OP. I can't honestly agree or disagree on your comparison to EVE (as I havent played it) but I played this while it was in beta through Jan & Feb. I agree the UI takes a bit to get the hang of, but its leaps & bounds easier to manage than DF1. I have this horribly short attention span when it comes to games the past few years, usually playing the same one for anywhere from a month to 6 months before moving on to try something else. The main reason I put it down was do to my work schedule. Its hard to want to come home & game for a few hours every night when I work 50-60 hour weeks. I just burn out on them too easily. But I can say I gave DFUW a solld two months & during the beta it was very noticable that AV was working hard to close up as many bugs & potential exploits as they could. DF1 was an AFK macro & exploiter's haven, so seeing their approach with the new version gave me hope.

One reason to not be too critical of it's correctness is that we're debating a word that fits Romantic etymology so it isn't only subject to US English pronunciation, even though US English has a few of its own counter-intuitive pronunciation anomalies like 'Wednesday'. In UK English there are loads proper nouns/names like 'Worcester' (woos′·ter) that aren't pronounced like they would appear to be, or where the same name will have different pronunciations in US vs UK like 'Belvoir' (bE′·ver in UK, belv-war in US). Personally, I think the fancy 'Arche' spelling kind of gives it more of a olde world vibe.

Your version of Windows is a factor here too. If its WinXP, I believe that Microsoft will officially stop supporting it in 2014. If its Windows Vista or Windows 7, you'll definitely want to do a bit of research on re-registering the copy that you have when you replace the motherboard .
With Vista or 7, basically your options are to either keep the OS intact on the hard drive and partition that its currently installed to and everything will be moved into a "windows.old" folder
wipe the partition, format it and do a fresh install of Windows then call Microsoft Support and explain that you replaced the motherboard so the Product Key can be migrated to the new hardware ID.

General: Smedley: MMOs 'Are Stagnant and Stuck in This Model'
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
I like what Smedley is saying, but I don't want to put too much stock in it until there's something on the table to back it up. SWG PreCU is proof enough that they know the recipe of mechanics, systems and gameplay that make a great sandbox, but I can't see a great sandbox living up to its full potential in a F2P model. Maybe with a low sub fee and a shop with items similar to the cosmetic TCG stuff they could find a good middleground to capture both the F2P & P2P players. Personally, I'd be more than happy & willing to pay a sub for a polished game that has sustainable rather than consumable content.

At best I dabbled with a few of MMORPG's during 2012 but didn't find anything that grabbed my attention and kept me interested in playing for more than two weeks at a time. I wouldn't say its killed gaming for me because there are still a couple of games I'm looking forward to playing (hopefully in 2013), but I can say that 2011-2012 definitely changed the types of games that I've put much of my time into.

I missed the additional 50 watts you tossed in there, but it doesnt change the total I come up with on eXtreme calc. The reason I said 3-4 watts per USB was to take into account for the pull differences in USB 2.0 & 3.0, and pulling an average of the two. This amounts to a difference of 2 or 3 watts, which is a really petty amount tbh.
The hypothetical 500w sagging to 480w I'm imagining worst case scenarios such as a 2 year old power supply that rarely gets shut down, and add in factors like heat, less-than-perfect line conditioning, capacitor aging, unexpected TDC spikes, RFI, etc building a perfect storm of worst case scenario. Regardless of brand/quality, any power supply subjected to numerous negative factors can sag. My issue is in not knowing how far under-rated is each PSU for its wattage. Without discussing it with their engineers, no one knows. Again, its a matter of 50 watts and I prefer to overshoot by that much rather than ride on the hope that 450 really means 500.
About the 80 Plus Gold/Bronze certs, they have about as much to do with min/max/peak/continuous wattage outputs as the breed of my neighbor's cat, but I'd agree that a gold is a better choice than bronze (of the same wattage & quality) if the price difference between the two is negligible.
We could debate for days over this 50 watts, but I'm just going to agree that we have slightly different methodologies in chosing the right amount of power supply for a system's needs. Mine works out for me, and if you get the same result thats great. I'll consider the $10 difference as buying piece of mind and you can consider it money well saved.

Hardware « General Discussion
I'm not disputing your brands of choice... only the systems wattage requirements. My point is that yes, since ratings are driven by marketing a 500w continuous could actually deliver 540watts max. but it also means that with RFI, heat, aging, etc it could also hit sags and fall to 480w intermittently. There are also wattage needs that you're overlooking. Each USB device thats plugged in is going to bump up the wattage need by about 3-4 watts each, so I estimated 5 devices (15watts) that need figured into tthe draw to allow for things like a keyboard, USB mouse, Headset, Cell or iPod charger & desktop speakers.
My total on a more trusted wattage calculator is showing this to be right at a 450watt draw for the AMD FX-6300 setup you're recommending (calculated with 5 USB devices, having the SSD/7200 setup and with no overclocking of the GPU or CPU). I just think that recommending at mimimum a 500w rated PSU would be a more responsible recommendation and allow a safer ceiling for unanticipated future draw increases such as overclocking the GPU via Catalyst software.

Not sure where the figure of >400 watts is coming from, but this is showing about 100 more watts than your estimate. I realize the CPU isnt a Black Edition and it doesnt allow to seperately add a 7200rpm & and SSD, but the difference there cant be much more than about 15 watts from what is recomended here. I'm guessing 475-ish would be about right with an SSD instead of 2 7200rpm's. You can throw the top of the line 450watt PSU at a machine that needs >450, but its going to fail early as well as cause random shutdowns, crashes, BSODs & similar turmoil.
Maybe their estimates are REALLY far off.. Im not sure. I'm going to dig around for real numbers on wattage draw for these components.

I'm not sure about this copy & pasting business, but I'll apologize for the over-extended paragraph. I typed it out on my phone during a break at work.
I'll agree again and say that even though it isnt an immediate necessity, an aftermarket CPU cooler is definitely a better option of the two. The less times your hands need to be inside the case after the initial build, the better off you are (usually). I would still recommend upgrading to an aftermarket cooler down the road (especially in a gaming rig) to someone using the stock cooler for a few months, as I've done this in the past. Load temps ultimately dictate whether or when there's a need for an aftermarket cooler.
Regarding my point in choosing Arctic Silver: it didn't have anything to do with its cooling characteristics vs. that of any other insulator compared to it. Again, I'm drawing from my own experiences. The thermal compound thats used on a stock heatsink has a tendency to cure over time, especially with a decent amount of CPU load-heavy use. The curing isn't immediate by any means, but it becomes more noticeable over time. When this curing happens, the pad of compound starts to lose its insulating surface area. I haven't seen this happen to Arctic Silver, even in extreme heat conditions (by CPU standards), so by default for me, CPU & GPU heatsinks get the stock goop removed and replaced with Silver before they go in.
We've pretty much established that the Radeon 7870 is a solid choice for a graphics card. The one I linked wasn't the cheapest of the 7870's but it had more & higher owner reviews. To me, its worth the extra 20 bucks to go with a model that 90+ people are giving 5 egg reviews versus taking a gamble on a model with two 2 egg reviews. I did find a list of GPU bench results for PS2 here: http://forums.videocardz.com/topic/188-planetside-2-performance-test/
About the power supply: the reason I chose the 600 watt was a combination of price, brand, reliabilty and past experience. I've had a decent number of PSU failures than I should have using a 450watt PSU on a rig that required 430watts and had the best durability-to-price result by using a PSU that overshoots a system's wattage requirement by about 20%. Factors like a power supply having less than perfect fluctuation correction (line conditioning), line harmonic interference, RFI, heat and component aging (i.e. diminished capacitor electrolytes) are all factors that would support the notion that a power supply needs a given "buffer" amount above the system's wattage requirement in order for it to be reliable. Because of the potential factors that can cause wattage fluctuations, I lean toward better safe than sorry in regards to choosing a power supply for a system's wattage requirements.

Holes in Hibiscus leaves
Unfortunately I don't know how much information I can give you, but I'll describe the plant the best I can. It hasn't flowered yet this year, however it has large white flowers with a dark pink center. The petals are smooth and the leaves are spade shaped with jagged looking edges. The plant is quite large and has lots of buds right now, but the bottom leaves are being chewed up by some pest. I do see some ants, a few flies on the leaves and I saw a small worm on one of the plants leaves (probably having a feast). If anyone can help, I'd love to know how to get rid of this problem as soon as I can. Thanks for your help.
Mix up some dish washing detergent(NOT the antibacterial type), 1 table spoon per 1 gallon of water. Using a spray bottle spray the bush down, be sure to spray the underside of the leaf as well. Do this late in the afternoon to avoid the sun burning the leaves.
This will take care of most of the bugs thats eating on the plant and not harm the good ones.

Kitchen layout help please
I have been a fan of GW for many years and am in desperate need of assistance. I am remodeling a kitchen and could use as much input as possible. Here are the details. It is a galley kitchen with 147" on either side. Enter the house and there is a small foyer of about 6 feet with a pocket door that leads right into the kitchen. Through the kitchen is the eating area which is not included in the 147". Appliances are.. 36 in bottom KA or Miele type fridge, 24" dw, 30" stove tbd and a 24" Gaggenau steamer. 30" main sink and would love to get a prep sink in somewhere as this is for 2 cooks and 2 dogs.
There is a window on one side that I can remove it is 33" off the pocket door and goes for 48". It is in a really bad spot. Not far enough to get 2 banks of nice sized drawers in either side but nice for added light. On the side opposite the window there is a full wall for 48" of the 147".
Pictures to come shortly. I hope this is helpful to start.
You'll find that the people who get the most responses for layout help are the ones who post a clear layout with dimensions included. Photos are a plus. Sketch out a layout on graph paper and start a new thread. Along with the layout, include information about how your kitchen is used such as how many cooks, what type of cooking, entertaining, etc.

No leaves
Hello Everyone. A friend gave me a division shoot from his main banana plant. It's about 5 feet tall, and has 1 green leaf from last year. I planted it about a month ago, and there has been no change since. It didn't really have any roots to speak of. The one green leaf has remained, so I'm still hopefull. Any ideas on when/if I'll get some new growth? Our weather has turned really hot in the last week, so maybe it will crank out something soon.
Varies. Without any real roots, the pup is totally dependent on the stored energy within the partial corm. I've heard stories of pups taking off from anywhere within a week to two months.
Just give it time and make sure you're watering the area around the corm fairly often.
Thanks foreverlad! I planted it poorly initially, and found a better spot after that. When replanting, I did notice a few large roots beginning from the corm. I guess I'm just impatient. I had one for the past 3 years, but it turned to mush in my unfinished basement last winter. Seeing a new leaf is one of the highlights of my summer. This may say more about me than my banana plant.
Totally understandable Pauln, I'm the same way. I have a back tropical bed with 12-15 basjoo spread out over 30-40ft. Each one of them have between 2-6 pups. I was anxious to start pulling some away and spreading the love. I only removed a single one about a month ago. It was the largest at the time. Had 2 leaves and a new cigar leaf rising.
When I pulled it away from the mother plant, I got two tiny roots, otherwise it was all curved corm. Not a solid bulb-like storage device, just the extension away from the parent plant. I sighed, plopped it down into the bed under some light canopy shade, and left it alone.
After a month, the two old leaves had died and the cigar leaf was gone. pseudostem was turning black from the top down. I dug it up two days ago. Had to cut away 1/3 of the p-stem and pot up the plant as no real roots were growing from the corm.
It might still make it, we'll have to wait and see. I have learned that patience is a virtue, and it's better to leave a pup attached too long than risk pulling it away too soon.
Wandering around my backyard garden today, and low and behold, my first new leaf is unfurling as we speak! I guess it was waiting on sustained hot days, which we'll have for the next 4 months. Thanks for the encouragement Mike! Now, I get to enjoy a new leaf about every 10 days. These tropicals are new to me, so I am learning as I go.

DearOlivejuice began when Josiah's passion to worship his Father in heaven, Jesus Christ, drove him to learn the guitar. Upon learning a few chords Josiah began to compose silly songs with his best mate Jono. They dubbed themselves The Humble Bards. Their music can still be found around the internet on myspace and even some improv videos on youtube.
As they continued to create improv tunes together people began to notice that Josiah could sing before he had even thought so himself. He was soon invited to join a band with some friends which he thought was ridiculous at the time because he 'wasn't very good'.
Shortly there after he was asked to lead worship at his youthgroup. Peoples desire to have him play drove his self-taught learning process along at a steady enough pace.
Josiah tends to be very laid back and yet a somewhat insane person and so his music may reflect that to some degree. Between the simple acoustic rhythm and fairly awkward vocal melodies DearOlivejuice finds it's almost electronic sound. Sometimes compared to Owl City or Death Cab for Cutie.
To sum it up, DearOlivejuice, started as an attempt to give praise to an all powerful Creator and that Creator soon purposed that praise into something unexpected.
That something, my dear friends, is DearOlivejuice.

The Florida Panthers have been busy adding a collection of veteran misfits recently and they added to that haul on Sunday night with the addition of defenseman Ryan Whitney. Within the last few days the Panthers already signed Tim Thomas Brad Boyes and defenseman Tom Gilbert to contracts after bringing each of them in on professional tryouts. Whitney had been on a tryout with the St. Louis Blues but didn't find a spot on their roster so Florida decided to sign him too. The contract reported by TSN's Bob McKenzie is for one season and $900000. It's certainly a low-risk move for the Panthers at that price and commitment but you have to wonder how much of a potential reward is there. They already have a fair share of veterans to go with their plethora of youngsters and Whitney just adds to that list. At this point though Whitney is slow and not the best in-zone defenseman you'll see but he can produce some offense particularly on the power play. Another concern is the fact that he h...

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
United States Patent 3,250,807 DICARBOXYLIC ACIDS 0F FLUOROCARBON ETHERS AND FLUORIDES, ESTERS, AMIDES AND SALTS THEREOF Charles Gerhard Fritz and Earl Phillip Moore, Wiimington, Del., assignors to E. I. du Pout de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, DeL, a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Filed Aug. 23, 1963, Ser. No. 304,259 6 Claims. (Cl. 260-535) This application is a continuation-in-part of, copending application S.N. 160,653, filed December 19, 1961, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to novel fluorocarbon ethers, and more particularly to fluorocarbon ether acids and acid derivatives.
The fluorocarbon ethers of the present invention have the general formulas:
X0 CCF CF [OCF CF (C-F OCF R' CF O [CF (CF CF 0] OF (CF COX where X is a halogen, hydroxyl, amino, or an -OMe radical in which Me is a monovalent metal, an ester or an ammonium radical, R: is a perfluoroalkylene radical of one to twenty-one carbon atoms, n is a number from zero to 35 inclusive and where m and p are numbers, the sum of which is from zero to 35 inclusive.
The fluorocarbon ethers of the present invention are obtained by the reaction of diacid difluorides with hexafluoropropylene epoxide. The diacid difluorides employed in the formation of the fluorocarbon polyethers of the present invention are in particular oxalyl difluoride and perfluoroalkandioic acid difluorides. Specific examples of the latter are the difluorides of perfluoroglutaric acid, perfluoromalonic acid, perfluoroadipic acid, perfluoropimelic acid, perfluorosuberic acid, perfluoroazelaic acid, and perfluorosebacic acid.
The reaction of the acid fluorides with the hexafluoroproplyene epoxide is carried out by various means. Thus, the reaction can be carried out in bulk using either activated charcoal or high energy, particulate ionizing radiation. Although temperature is not a critical factor in this reaction, it is preferred to carry the reaction out at temperatures of 50 to +80 C.
In another method, the reaction products of the present invention are obtained by reacting the hexafluoropropylene with the acid fluoride in a polar organic solvent. Suitable solvents are organic solvents liquid at the reaction temperature and capable of dissolving, i.e., to an extent of greater than 0.01 weight percent, perfl-uorocarbon alkoxides of alkali metals and, specifically, potassium perfluoropropoxide. The perfluoroalkoxides can be formed by reaction of metal fluorides with per'fiuoroacyl fluorides. In particular, however, the preferred organic solvents are aliphatic polyethers having from 4 to carbon atoms and hydrocarbon nitriles having from 2 to 10 car-hon atoms, such as the dimethyl ether of diethylene glycol, dioxane, propiom'trile, benzonitrile and acetonitrile. Other highly polar solvents which meet the foregoing qualifications but which are not nitriles nor polyethers include dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methyl pyrrolidone, nitroethane and tetra-hydrofuran.
The catalysts which are employed in combination with the solvent are monovalent metal fluorides, particularly alkali metal fluorides, quaternary ammonium fluorides and alkali metal perfluoroalkoxides. The metal fluorides may be used as such or admixed with other alkali metal halides.
Such mixtures are, for example, mixtures of LiCl/CsF,
3,250,87 Patented May 10, 1966 LiCl/KF and LiBr/KF. Catalyst concentration is not critical and amounts of catalyst are determined by the environment in which the reaction is carried out. In general, the concentration of the catalyst is at least 0.01% by Weight of the hexafluoropropylene epoxide. The catalyst may be present either in solution or as a separate phase.
Reaction temperatures may be greatly varied from C. to 200 C., although a preferred range is from ---30 C. to C. Pressures ranging from below atmospheric pressure to several hundred atmospheres have been employed and it has been established that pressure is not a critical factor in the process. 'Pressure is primarily employed for convenience depending on the physical properties of the reactants at any selected reaction temperature. It will be apparent that the ethers of the present invention are obtained by addition of one or more hexafluoropropylene epoxide molecules to the acid fluoride molecule. The degree of polymerization obtained depends on the catalyst, the temperature, and on the ratio of the acid fluoride to the epoxide. At the high temperatures of the above indicated range a lower degree of polymerization is obtained than at the low end of the temperature range, as a result of competing side reactions which occur at the high temperatures. A ratio of acid fluoride to epoxide which is one or greater than one results in only the monoadditionproduct. As the ratio is decreased, products with higher degrees of polymerization are obtained. It is, however, to be realized that this control over the nature of the fluorocarbon ethers produced in the reaction is not absolute and does not prevent the formation of some fluorocarbon ethers of either higher or lower molecular weight or both.
The fluorocarbon ethers of the present invention are obtained from the reaction in the form of the acid fluoride and have the above indicated formulas. The acid fluoride form of the ether is readily converted to the acid form by contact with water. The fluorocarbon ether dicarboxylic acids are strong fluorocarbon acids that have chemical reactivity which is analogous to that of other fluorocarbon acids insofar as the car-boxylic acid group is concerned. Thus, the acids and also the acid fluorides react with alkylamines and aralkylamines, such as methyl amine, dimethyl amine, butyl amine, higher normal and branched primary and secondary amines, benzyl amine, benzedrine and phenyl ethyl amines. Diamines, such as hexamethylene diamine, may also be employed in the formation of the amide. Esters can be formed by reaction with alkanols and aromatic .alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, phenol, benzyl'alcohol and glycols. Metal salts are formed from the acid or the acid fluorides by reaction of the oxides and hydroxides of both monovalent and polyvalent metals such as the alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals, aluminum and metals of Groups II B and III B of the Periodic Table of Elements. :Reaction of the sodium salt with NH4 or quaternary ammonium salts, (R N)+X where R is a hydrocarbon radical gives rise to the corresponding fluorocarbon ether ammonium salts.
The preparation of the novel fluorocarbon ethers of the present invention is further illustrated by the following examples. Unless otherwise stated, all parts and percentages used herein are by weight.
Example I Into a 30 ml. stainless steel cylinder was charged 1 g. of Darco activated carbon, 18 g. 'of hexafluoropropylene epoxide and 4.3 g. of oxalyl fluoride. The cylinder was allowed to stand at room temperature for 22 hours. Distillation of the product gave 2.4 g. of perfiuoro-2,7-dimethyl-3,6-dioxaoctanedioyl fluoride, BI. 98 to 100 C.
- An infrared spectrum of the product was consistent with the assigned structure.
3 Example 11 Into a glass reaction vessel was placed 9 g. of cesium fluoride, 90 ml. of diethylene glycol dirnethyl ether and 73 g. of perfluoroglutaryl fluoride. The reaction was cooled in ice and stirred rapidly. There was then. added '120 g. of hexafluoropropylene epoxide at such a rate that the pressure in the flask did not exceed p.s.i.g. Workup of the recation mixture afforded per-fluoro-2,10-dimethyl-3,9'dioxaundecanedioyl fluoride, B1. 156 to 158 C., in 80% yield based on perfluoroglutaryl fluoride. The nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectra of the product were consistent with the assigned structure. Similar results are obtained when potassium fluoride or a mixture of potassium fluoride and lithium bromide is employed.
The acid fluoride was converted to the disodium salt of perfluoro-2, -dimethyl 3,9 dioxaundecanedio-ic acid by hydrolyzing the acid fluoride to the acid by addition of water and neutralizing the resulting solution with NaOH. A smaller quantity of the monoaddition product FOC(CF OCP(CF )COF was also obtained.
Example III Into a glass flask is charged 0. 8 g. of cesium fluoride, and 50 m1. of dimethyl ether of diethylene glycol. The flask is evacuated and 16.5 g. of perfluoromalonyl difluoride is added. The flask is then cooled to 0 C. and 31 g. of hex-afluoropropylene epoxide is added. The flask is agitated for period of 16 hours. On filtration, separation and distillation there is obtained 3 g. of
Into a dry, clean 500 cc. round bottom flask containing a magnetic stirrer and flushed with nitrogen were placed 10 g. of dry cesium fluoride and 55 cc. of dry dimethyl ether of diethylene glycol. There was then added 61 g. of perfluoroglutaryl fluoride. The reaction mixture was cooled to 22 C. and hexafluoropropylene oxide was added with stirring over a 3 /2 hour period at 22 to 20 C. A total of 225 g. of hexafluoropropylene oxide was added. Fractionation of the crude reaction mixture atforded the following fractions: (1) boiling point 80 at 300 mm. to 110 at 100 mm., 112 cc. (54 cc. dirnethyl ether of diethylene glycol plus 58 cc. fluorocarbon layer); (2) boiling point 155 at 100 mm. to 160 at 70 mm., volume 26 cc.; (3) boiling point 160 at 70 mm. to 165 at 40 mm, volume 51 cc.; (4) boiling point 165 at 40 mm. to 172 at 22 mm., volume 31 cc. Fractions 2, 3 and 4 were combined and titrated with standard base to give a neutralization equivalent of 276. This corresponds to a molecular weight of 1104. The calculated molecular weight for a mixture of compounds of structure [OCF(CF3)CF2]mOCF(CF3)COF [OCF(C Fa)CF2] OOF(CFs)COF where the sum of m:+p is an average of 3, is 1074 The combined fractions were treated with excess methanol. Excess methanol and hydrogen fluoride were removed under vacuum. Distillation of the fluorocarbon material aflorded a series of fractions boiling from 88 at 0.5 mm. to 13-3 at 0.25 mm. Infrared-and NMR spectra on the components of this mixture obtained by preparative scale gas chromatography showed them to have the structure Examp le V Into a 300 ml. stainless steel cylinder was placed 3 g. of cesium fluoride. The cylinder was attached to a manifold and evacuated and then charged with 40 ml. of the dimethyl ether of diethylene glycol. Thereafter the cylinder was cooled to C. and 27 g. of oxalyl fluoride and 91 g. of hexafluoropropylene epoxide was introduced. The cylinder was allowed to warm to room temperature under autogenous pressure and intermittently agitated for 5 days. On separation, there was obtained 28.1 g. of a liquid fluorocarbon product. The product was combined with 13.3 g. of a similar product of the second run and distilled. There was obtained 3.3 g. of
FOCCF OC(CF )COF boiling at about 50 C. and 8.4 g. of
FOC CF (CF )--OCF CF OCF(CP )COF boiling at 98 to 101 C. Contact with water hydrolyzes both compounds to the corresponding dicarboxylic acids.
Example VI Into a glass flask is charged 60 ml. of acrylonitrile and 1.0 mole of potassium fluoride per liter of solvent. The
flask is evaporated and 1 mole of perfluoroglutaryl fluoride is added. The flask is cooled to 0 C. and gaseous hexafluoropropylene epoxide is charged into a flask until a pressure of 5 p.s.i.g. is built up. The reaction was continued until no further hexafluoropr'opylene epoxide was taken up by the reaction mixture. Filtration, separation, and distillation gave a 23% yield of F OC (CF 0C (CF GOP and an 18% yield of F OCCF(CF )O-(CF OCF (CF 3 )COF Example VII Using the procedure of Example VI, but employing tetrahydrofuran as the solvent and cesium fluoride as the catalyst, a 67% yield of the monoaddition product and a 3% yield of the diaddition product is obtained.
The foregoing examples have illustrated the formation of the fluorocarbon ethers of the present invention. It is apparent from these examples that the chemical activity of the acid end groups of these fluorocarbon ethers is typical of that of any fluorocarbon acid. The fluorocarbon acid derivatives disclosed herein but not specifically illustrated :are formed by conventional methods developed for the preparation of analogous derivatives of fluorocarbon acids which do not contain ether oxygens.
The fluorocarbon'ethers of the present invention are useful as such or as chemical intermediates. In the carboxylic acid form or in the form of the sodium or ammonium salt the fluorocarbon ethers are outstanding, thermally and chemically stable dispersing agents. The stability of the esters or amides of fluorocarbon ethers allows their use as high temperature heat transfer media and also as lubricants. The fluorocarbon ethers of the present invention, in view of their particular end group structure, i.e.,
can arise be 'decarboxylated to result in vinyl ethers which have utility as monomers in the formation of thermoset-v ting resins.
We claim: 1. A fluorocarbon ether having the formula. X0 CCF (6P {OCF CF (CF ],,,0 CF R' CF 0 [CF(CF CF 0] CF (CF COX where X is a radical selected from the class consisting of halogen, hydroxyl, amino and OMe radicals, where Me is selected from the class consisting of monovalent metals, alkyl radicals, aryl radicals, the benzyl radical and the ammonium radical, R' is a perfluoroalkylene radical of zero to twenty-one carbon atoms, where m and p are numbers, the sum of which is from zero to 35.
2. A fluorocarbon ether having the formula:
where R, is a perfluoroalkylene radical of zero to twentyone carbon atoms.
3. The fluorocarbon ether of claim 2 wherein the perfluoroalkylene radical is a perfluorodimethylene radical.
4. The fluorocarbon ether of claim 2 wherein the perfluoroalkylene is a perfluorotetramethylene radical.
5. The fluorocarbon ether of claim 2 wherein the perfluoroalkylene radical is a perfluoromethylene radical.

I wrote a post to my blog yesterday about homophobia, although it was more generally about the tendency people have to dismiss racism, sexism and homophobia as stupidity or ignorance. Here's the tl;dr version:
[A]s much as people like to label him a "monster", Hitler was a human being, just like you and me. Sometimes you hear people say of politicians these days that "He's the sort of guy you could hang out and have a beer with!" I have no doubt that Hitler was a guy that you could hang out and have a beer with--so long as you weren't a member of one of the groups that the Third Reich tried to exterminate. And what's more, who could really think that Hitler was an idiot? He nearly took over the whole world, which doesn't sound to me like the sort of thing that idiots tend to do. No, Hitler wasn't ignorant; he had an oddly well-informed hatred.
So my question for the thread is, do you think dismissing intolerance and/or other ideas that you disagree with as ignorance is a poor way of dealing with them, and why or why not?

Search Films by Director
David Robert Mitchell
Something wicket this way comes… In this terrifying cult movie in the making, a teenager is stalked by a shape-shifting nemesis, and the only escape is to pass this walking vendetta onto somebody else - through sexual congress.
"The most exciting film in Cannes ... Tender, remarkably ingenious and scalp-pricklingly scary." — Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph
Travis Rummel
Through majestic cinematography, DamNation explores the history and controversy surrounding dam removal projects. Where obsolete dams come down, rivers bound back to life, giving salmon and other wild fish the right of return to primeval spawning grounds, after decades without access.
"Directors Ben Knight and Travis Rummel have made a fleet movie with a convincing argument for systemic dam removal (some of which is caught thrillingly on film) and arresting nature-drenched cinematography." — Robert Abele, LA Times

Room was compact but well layed out and had all the amenities I wanted. Attractive, too, which I never expect in a chain. Staff were all very polite.
The rooms were comfortable and clean. Hampton has the best beds anywhere in my opinion.
The staff was not available and the walls were very very thin. I could make out the conversations in the rooms around me and I was staying during the day to drive at night.
The staff was ferric - from the young man at the desk that told us where to find a good, reasonable meal at 10:00pm to the morning staff who were friendly and cheerful.
The breakfast could have been better- different breads for example.
Easy freeway access.
Older motel. Needed to be fixed and painted.
Staff was courteous and welcoming.
Room smelled like years worth of musty cleaning supplies.
Price and location were good.
Overall property was, not unexpectedly, a bit shabby but acceptable. Trains throughout the night, and the thin walls and inexpensive construction, made for a somewhat noisy stay!
Easy check in waffles and banana was good we ate by 6:30 all was ready little refrig and microwave was nice
Light was a lttle lacking in main bedroom while getting ready
It was a warm place to rest on a very cold and windy night.
No elevator: no water for a few hours. Old furnishings and building with tight spaces. Close to interstate with trucks rushing noisily in front and a truck stop adjacent on one side with it's sounds and fumes.
Outside entrance. Quite a bit of highway noise. Sad breakfast selection.
nothing very disappointed
rooms very old and not clean
Needs updating
Very close to the on/off ramp of the highway
They were 'remodeling' so there was a lot of 'stuff' piled in the area next to the breakfast room. Very junky looking also very cold in the breakfast room and hallways.
The front desk staff was very good. (Hotel employee) was very personable. The beds were clean and comfortable.
The hotel should be condemned. It is a lost cause. The room was dirty. It was not even vaccuumed. The window sills were full of leaves and dirt--inside the room. The shower walls were caving in as was the ceiling in the shower. The grout was dirty.
Did not like any aspect of the hotel and we decided to leave 20 minutes after arrival. We requested our money back and that was refused
The hotel is infested with giant roaches and they are everywhere, in the room, in the bath, in the walkways in the yard. The bugs invasion is overwhelming unsanitary and should not be tolerated by any guest. This place is an absolute disaster..!!!
Room was on the first floor.
Attendant did not know what a registered certified service dog was, would not even read the ID card for my dog. She told me to remove the dog from the lobby, leave her in the car and do not bring her inside because of the food.
Older motel, but, nicely remodeled. The staff was friendly and made us feel comfortable.
Cleanliness; comfortable bed; flatscreen TV; small table & desk; nice manager
Train tracks right behind & room shook a bit when trains went by. Did not disturb our sleep, however.
Booked room , arrived at motel & no one at front desk & no vacancy sign on door , no one answered phone

The poison in the welfare state
Means-tested benefits just encourage people to cheat. There is another way, says Frank Field MP
There are families now that have totally abandoned the idea that paid work has any relevance for them at all, such is the impossibility of finding a job. There are schoolchildren who, because no member of the family is in work, have not the slightest idea of what it means to earn one's living. I have become hardened to the brave men with laughing mouths but wintry eyes who tell me that it doesn't matter that they may never work again. I try to be equally hardened to the men who simply cry before me. What kind of hope can you build into a person's life if there is not chance of work?
Britain now has ghettoes. Three decades ago most poor people lived outside officially designated poor areas. That position is now reversed. Most poor people live in areas which are becoming poorer and more polarised, where there is more crime, more unemployment and shorter life expectancy.
The reaction of young men and women arriving at the foothills of adulthood and living amid such desolation is marked. Many young women are moving away from their parents and starting their own families, often with a succession of boyfriends. Their male counterparts have three main options: they can leave home and become drifters, often ending up begging; they can try their hand at the drugs trade or they may be forced back on to their parents and into a state of permanent adolescence.
In the face of all this, our welfare system is broken-backed. The number of claims soars and so, therefore, does the bill, edging its way towards the £90bn mark. It costs working taxpayers £15 each day and yet still the number of people on very low incomes rises inexorably. Half the population now lives in households drawing one of the principal means-tested benefits.
A deadly lesson is being taught: the only way to survive is to cheat. Because means-tested help is reduced as income rises, people on low or no wages have no incentive to improve their lot. Suppose that a married wage earner with two children earns £60 a week. With means-tested benefits, the net family income will be £125 a week (after housing costs), which is not much more than he would get without a job. Just to add £10 per week to the family income, he would need to increase his gross wages by around £140 a week and earn a total of £200 a week.
The alternative - unless he decides to sit tight and do nothing - is to take work but not declare additional income. This is fraud. And fraud is a criminal offence. Welfare is therefore having the opposite effect from that for which it was devised. The welfare state was constructed as a means of extending full citizenship to the entire population, many of whom might otherwise remain outside civil society. Welfare fraud now acts as an expelling agent, encouraging people into criminal activity.
Means tests poison the welfare state. They paralyse self-help, discourage self-improvement and tax honesty. They reward claimants for being either inactive or deceitful. They penalise all those values which make strong, vibrant communities. Those with savings above a certain level do not qualify. Those who have jobs, or have put aside a little money for a rainy day, or work beyond retirement age to gain an additional pension - they can qualify, but only if they lie. And the second lie is always easier than the first.
The cumulative impact of such deceit is the further erosion of pride, respect and self-worth, already under attack because of long-term unemployment.
The starting point of welfare reform must be an acceptance of the great forces that drive human nature. These include self-improvement and altruism but self-interest is fundamental. The present system rewards lying, cheating and deceit. The challenge is to allow self-interest to operate in a way which simultaneously promotes the public good.
There should be comprehensive insurance cover so that families are in a position to improve their own lot legally and by their own efforts. And there should be an income floor to replace the income ceiling which is created by means-tested welfare.
We should, therefore, phase out means tests. Instead, a National Insurance Corporation, comprising representatives of employers, employees and government, should run a new national insurance scheme. Those paying into it should be known as "stakeholders". They would receive protection against unemployment, illness and disability. But levels of benefits should be clearly linked to levels of contributions. In other words, stakeholders should be clear that the money they pay into the scheme will not be used to redistribute their income to other people.
What about those who cannot pay adequate contributions - because their wages are too low, because they cannot get jobs, because they are sick or disabled or because they are caring for elderly relatives? The Exchequer would pay contributions into the scheme on their behalf. In this way, redistribution would be clear and above-board. It would come, and would be seen to come, from general taxation and not from some sleight of hand within the national insurance scheme.
Alongside this, a Private Pensions Corporation should universalise private pension provision to run alongside the state scheme. This body would be independent of the government and would organise the task of spreading private pension provision within a framework of compulsory contributions by employees and employers.
Income support should continue but should be transformed into an opportunities agency developing career plans. It should act as a life-raft taking people back into work rather than, as at present, as a sink into which they are dumped.
In addition social security fraud should be recognised as the very big business it is. Imaginative counter-action needs to be driven by a core of SAS-style anti-fraud officers. Benefit savings from successful anti- fraud campaigns should be ring-fenced and used for tax cuts and increases in child benefit.
The growth of individualism is not going to be arrested by talk about rebuilding the community. Welfare has to be shaped so individual wishes can simultaneously promote new senses of community. The stakeholder welfare scheme proposed here does precisely that. Real power is delegated to stakeholder boards - which should eventually be directly elected - running both the new insurance scheme and the universalisation of private pension provision. Stakeholder welfare provision ushers in a period of popular or social, as opposed to state collectivism.
Only in this way can the country's burgeoning underclass be linked back into mainstream activities. But this programme will also appeal to mainstream Britain, where the old order of jobs for life has already passed. The uncertainty implicit in a flexible labour market needs to be countered by a certainty offered from a flexible welfare state.

Hedo Turkoglu impresses Doc Rivers in workout for Clippers
Jan 11, 2014, 3:30 PM EDT
Hedo Turkoglu wasn't a part of the futre in Orlando, and as a result, the Magic let him know that before the season began and allowed him to remain away from the team until he was either dealt or waived. When no one was willing to offer anything in trade for Turkoglu, the Magic decided…

When Masai Ujiri jumped from the Denver Nuggets to the Toronto Raptors to take over as general manager, the objective was clear. Ujiri was to do what he does best: tear it down, and try to salvage as much value as possible from the mistakes made by the previous regime. Ujiri hasn't failed to live…

Jan 7, 2014, 6:31 PM EDT
During the third quarter of the Magic's blowout loss to the Clippers Monday night, Nikola Vucevic went up to try and block a Blake Griffin shot, ended up getting flipped and took a hard fall where he landed on his side and his head hit the floor. Vucevic suffered a concussion and the Orlando big…
Report: Clippers considering adding Hedo Turkoglu, Sasha Vujacic
Jan 7, 2014, 12:10 PM EDT
For one night Monday, the Clippers' offense looked just fine without Chris Paul. Unfortunately, the Clippers don't get to play a disinterested and dispirited Orlando Magic team every night. With CP3 out, the Clippers need more guys who can create shots. Which is why the Clippers are thinking of making a roster change and bringing…

UPDATE 6:09 pm: And it's official, the Orlando Magic have waived Hedo Turkoglu. No team is going to claim him off waivers and pick up the $6 million he is owed. It is possible he gets a minimum deal, more likely he gets a 10 day contract soon. 4:04 pm: So much for trying to…

The Magic are in a rebuilding mode, and as their 9-20 record will tell you, that means that wins have been hard to come by this season. But a bright spot has been the play of Arron Afflalo, who has been consistently putting up big numbers — he's posted his career high of 43 points…

Hedo Turkoglu probably isn't on anyone's radar outside of Orlando, mainly because he hasn't played a game for the Magic or been around the team in any capacity at all since the season began. Turkoglu isn't a part of the team's future plans, so they essentially told him to get lost — while being paid,…

PBT's NBA Power Rankings: Stability at the top, trades could shake up bottom
Dec 16, 2013, 1:47 PM EDT
There is no movement at the top of the standings as the top five teams went 15-1 last week (and that one loss was to another top 5 team). However, get past that five and you get into teams like the Rockets, Suns and others where trades could really change rankings as we move toward…
Magic's Glen Davis dislocated shoulder during game, had it popped back in, returned
Dec 16, 2013, 8:44 AM EDT
Glen Davis acted like a hockey player Sunday night. He has missed a lot of time and worked hard to get back on the court following a couple of foot surgeries — he's not going to let a little injury keep him from going now. A little injury like a dislocated shoulder, one he got…

In Eric Bledsoe's final game with the Los Angeles Clippers last season, he played nine minutes and 28 seconds. In that game, the Memphis Grizzlies scored 118 points despite possessing what most would consider a below-average offense. Mike Conley, a player Bledsoe has routinely shut down throughout his career, went to the free throw line…
Magic's Nicholson ejected for late cheap shot on Cavs' Varejao (VIDEO)

Near the very end of the Cavaliers' win over the Magic on Friday, Orlando's Andrew Nicholson was called for a flagrant two foul that resulted in an automatic ejection for shoving Anderson Varejao to the floor. Apparently Nicholson didn't appreciate the fact that Varejao scored the meaningless basket with the Cavs up six and just…
Glen Davis gets up close and personal in postgame interview (video)
Dec 12, 2013, 3:25 PM EDT
Glen Davis, even down to the lowest weight of his career, is big. After games, he's big and sweaty. So, FOX Sports Florida's Dante Marchitelli faced quite the challenge of staying focused during this, literally, touching interview. That man deserves a raise! Marchitelli, not Davis. Davis is paid just fine, and at least it's his…
Victor Oladipo rejects Carmelo Anthony at the Rim (VIDEO)
Dec 7, 2013, 9:30 AM EDT
The Knicks rolled the Magic 121-83 on Friday to earn a much-needed second straight victory, but Orlando rookie Victor Oladipo came up with at least one play that was worthy of the highlight reel. As Carmelo Anthony drives the lane for what looks to be a certain slam, Oladipo rises up and rejects him at…

Man Whistling "Georgia On My Mind" On 1980s Detroit-Based Talk Show Completes Me/Us
It was thought lost to the ages, but now it is found.
You can spend so many years wandering through the dark and lonely desert of existence that you forget what you were looking for in the first place, but when you find it, all is well, and time is compressed to fit on the head of a pin. Also this guy's face! (Thanks for the tip, basattak.)

|As of Sunday July 17th, 2009 there is a black dog leash that is attached to a dead tree at the base of the Widower Wall near the Black Pearl. We left it since we figured that the owners would realize that they left it there and other foot-traffic seems to be very low in this area.

|Some friends and I climbed a line on a large boulder we found by hiking past the Lost Boulder and heading down and to the right (as opposed to up and left to get to The Pearl). Does anyone have any info on that boulder? I might be just crazy, but I can't find it anywhere on MP. The boulder was a bit dirty for feet, but there were good jugs and chalked-up start crimps, kind of a layback crack at the top.... It was just a little east of Shiver Me Timbers.

|I've seen this boulder too, my friends and I also did the line you're talking about and another one on the adjacent face. I don't believe it's on MP, but to me it felt about V1, maybe a grade tougher from the low start. Not too bad, a little chossy though for sure. Maybe you should post it, Bob.

I agree, Ben. V1 from the jug sounds right. The sit start was a lot harder than I thought it would be, given the poor feet. It might even be V3... or maybe I just need to do more pull-ups.
I'll remember my camera next time I'm there and post a pic. Maybe the FA-er will recognize it. It was definitely worth doing, IMO.
