It is always a pleasure to stay with Toby and Steffi. The are extremely gracious and helpful. The apartment is very spacious and open with lots of natural light and it well equipped. It is also located in a great location, easily accessible to the city's sights and public transportation. Always my first choice when I'm in Munich!
The reservation was canceled 44 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
It is always a pleasure to stay with Toby & Steffi! The apartment is spacious, modern, comfortable, and clean. It is quite large for an apartment in the city and very well stocked with amenities, as well as conveniently located to public transit. Toby and Steffi are most gracious hosts and I always enjoy staying with them when in Munich for business or leisure!
Fantastic experience! Tobi was great at getting in contact and was also quick to answer any questions and concerns. He met us at the door with the key and also had some recommendations for us when we asked about the local shops. The apartment was clean and tidy and plenty of room for the 6 of us on air beds.
What a great experience! Toby me us at the apartment and took us through the sights and neighborhood. Apartment is located in the heart of Munich, but the neighborhood is very local and not touristy. This area is filled with great restaurants, cafes, and shopping. Plus, there's a taxi stand and tram right outside so getting places was very easy. Thank you, Toby and Steffi!
Tobys Wohnung ist ein Traum. Er hat mir den Schlüssel persönlich übergeben. Alles ist so wie im Internet angegeben. Strategisch günstige Lage und im Schlafzimmer total ruhig. Bäckerei, Metzgerei und viele andere Geschäfte in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Komme gerne wieder!
Steffie & Toby met me late at night when I arrived and made me feel very welcome. The apartment was exactly as described, I loved it and would definitely stay again . The tram was out front , as were many lovely shops and restaurants & markets as well. Very spacious, comfortable and quiet. Thank you, I loved it.
Cheers Helen
We felt very welcome. It was light and airy. The place was comfortable and in a convenient location. We were able to use the public transport right in front of the apartment and the neighborhood seemed safe. We were able to walk to the nearby market and to other stores. We only stayed one night and didn't cook so we couldn't comment on the kitchen facility but it looked very complete. Overall, it was a pleasant place to stay and we would consider staying there again.
Sehr tolle und gemütliche Apartment.
Danke an Steffi und Tobias für Ihre Gastfreundlichkeit!
Gerne mal wieder!
Two level apartment, very convenient location, streetcar stop right outside practically on the doorstep, really easy! Close to everything, cafes, shops, open air market, walking distance to Marianplatz main square, tons of shopping, eating, and historical buildings, and any transportation you would need. Toby met us as soon as we arrived at the apartment with keys, info, etc. Prompt communication throughout. Only not so good thing was construction behind the property and jackhammering during the day, but that was no fault of the hosts, and we weren't there for most of the workday hours anyway. Otherwise, the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. It would be hard to find a more convenient place to stay for what we were in town for.
We rented Toby and Steffi's apartment in Munich as we did not want to stay confined in a hotel room. We did not know what to expect when renting an apartment for a short duration of two weeks. We were very pleasantly surprised by the warmth, friendliness and generosity of Toby. He is very organised and his response time to communication is fantastic. He is always concerned and wants to ensure that you are having a good time. And ofcourse, he pleasantly surprised us with a very special shopping treat. We rented from a landlord but ended our trip in Munich with a good friend in Toby. Highly recommended and a 10 start rating! :)

To my mind there seems to be a certain 'paranoia' about the NEX-7, something I find quite disturbing. Whilst most professional reviewers are writing very positive, comprehensive feedback, amateur armchair experts seem to picking holes in everything by writing messages all over the Internet that are littered with non-understandable technical jargon. I am far from sure anyone without an advanced degree in photography can understand what on earth they are on about. Surely the strength of a camera is in the pictures (or video) the camera offers, and in the case of the NEX-7, it's generally recognised they are quite astounding, comparing quite favourably against cameras at four times the cost.

Upside-Down Girl, 1974
Price on Request
Danziger Gallery is proud to announce our representation and first solo show of the work of Mark Cohen.
Mark Cohen was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania where he lived and photographed for most of his life. (He now lives in Philadelphia.) His work was first exhibited in 1969 at the George Eastman House but came to prominence with his first solo exhibition at MoMA in 1973. Known primarily for his black and white images, Cohen was also a pioneer of the 1970s color movement that changed American photography.
Shooting in the gritty environs of working class Pennsylvania, Cohen brought to street photography a literal and innovative closeness that came from his style of holding the camera at arm's length without looking through the viewfinder while using an unusually wide angle lens. Intrusive but elegant, by turns brutal and sensuous, Cohen's cropped bodies and faces and gritty still lives and landscapes reveal a finely tuned aesthetic and consistency. No background behind the looming foreground figures is without interest. No random object is observed without purpose. "They're not easy pictures. But I guess that's why they're mine." Says Cohen.
Cohen is the recipient of two Guggenheim Grants and his work is in the collections of major museums from the U.S. to Japan. His most recent retrospective in 2013 at Le Bal in Paris and the accompanying publication "Dark Knees" were singled out by critics around the world as outstanding achievements in photography.
Previous publications include "Strange Evidence" (published in conjunction with Cohen's 2010 show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art); "Grim Stret" (with an introduction by Anne Wilkes Tucker); and "True Color" (with an introduction by Vince Aletti).

Keep things tidy through the keyhole and then hammer down the back straight. 3rd, 4th, 5th. ******* the stoppers at the first brake maker (500 ft).

That warrior mentality, which describes Nate better than simply racer, is what is lacking in so much of America today. When everyone simply expects to be given what they want with no hard work, a society is doomed. Likewise, a culture that spends more effort on risk management or risk mitigation will never do anything great, never win nor attract the best and the brightest.

celebration swap
im back since i have use of my hand again i have been collecting seeds like crazy i have over 70 diff kinds already so i want to have a swap i was thinking one where anything goes we could send in seeds from 06-07 we could send in fruit,veg,flowers if you dont want any of those you can put that on your envie
we can go 5 of each seeds for flowers 3 on veggis
send return postage,addy label,
as for the date i was thinking of oct 15 if that is ok
come on in and make this a huge swap and make the rest of my summer exciting
I received some really great seeds from your last swap, Candy, and would love to join this one. I guess I need to get all my dates squared away because I have one Sept, this one in October and another in November. That will allow me to more efficiently clean my seeds and be able to send in different things to each one. YIKES!!!
Oh, and on the marigolds, from another thread, they are notorious for not only cross pollinating with each other, but also the seed collected from hybrid produce plants that have strange characteristics. F2 generation sometimes have very few blooms on plants with lots of foliage, or flowers that fade as soon as they open, or flowers with very few petals....just funky things. Maybe an alternate idea would be to have a swap with commercial seeds. Or find some places where you can buy them in bigger quentities (bulk) and have lots of GW members partner in the purchase, like a coop? Just an idea, but most of my collected marigold seeds produced junk this year.
I wanted to give this a bump because the timing of it is so great -- October, so right between the September one and the November ones, so I don't get a break at all until I am finished! Now THAT'S something to Celebrate!!! LOL!
Let's get some more people signed up!!
hi i guess i should post more im still here i have collected over 80 kinds of seeds already this is going to be a awesome swapping season
everyone should email me at email@example.com and ill start sending out my addy im not real great at typing yet so ill try and dop a few at a time if i miss anyone plmk
i really want this to be a great swap
and have a great fall day
Kandi, LOL! When I first read it, I was thinking 5 seeds?, but yes, that means 5 packs of seed from red zinnias, but then you could also send 5 packs of seed from yellow zinnias. (Can you tell I like Zinnias?) And 3 packs of Green Beans and 3 packs of Green Long beans, etc.
I am answering some of the questions for Candy because of her hand. She is having a hard time typing and we need her to to save her hands for PACKING SEEDS! :))
This will end up being a huge swap with a lot of people, so if you need a special dispensation on the "5 pack rule", you might contact Candy. By that I mean if you have the most fabby plant in the world, maybe a special Impatiens, and need to send 1 pack for each participant, then you could probably contact her and ask. The object of the game for a swap hostess is for the hostess to not get 100 packs of Cleome, Marigolds with no height, color, or any information on them, white datura, and some of the other oh-so common plants, it's not to limit the senders. Does that make sense?
hi im sorry if i did not answer you queston kandi i thought i did by email maybe i did in my dreams LOL maybe its old age so far i have only had one person ask for my addy and yes if anyone has special named varietys i think we can safly go to 10 packs of flower seeds but please not veggis doesnt seem like any one wants veggis
again im sorry if i haven been answering questions i am here every few hours all day
thanks and have a great day
Candy - you did answer me by email - I posted it on here before I sent you the email though so I got multiple answers which is alright - I've got plenty of seeds to collect and a short time to do it in and there are a few that I'm wishing would seed so I could share. I have this beautiful blue ostrich chinese aster that even has my men folks who are lucky if they can name a daisy going oooh and ahhhh and my other men folks who've always helped me with the flowers are also impressed - just came up on their own and are so beautiful but no where close to being ready to seed - i should have plenty of other varieties by the deadline though - i really can't wait until next year - i didn't start saving seeds until I joined GW so there were plenty of seeds I didnt' save this year that i'll have next year
So....which do we consider herbs to be; ornamentals or vegetables? I grow a lot of herbs for fragrance or appearance. Or, is whether it is edible or not the test of which category it belongs in for purposes of this swap?
Or should we not send herbs at all?
Sorry, the question sounds stupid even to me, but I don't know the answer.
Don't worry, I'm now here and Im' sure I'll have a question that far beats yours. :)
Are we aloud to send in Commercial seeds? Earlier in the Thread someone mentioned that commercial marigolds are better(I've got tons). As far as collecting seeds, by the time the deadline rools around, I should have plenty of seeds collected from a (not mine :() garden.
Is there a limit to the number of types of seeds? Forgive me if this is too silly, but I'm sleep deprived.
If I make the cut, I'm in... :)
Thanks, Monica
Hi Everyone,
I sent my seed package out Saturday Candy, I'm sorry I didn't post sooner, I've been really busy and couldn't post 'till now. Anyway I don't know if we are to list preferences, but I would like veggies and herbs, but flowers are great too. I'm not really picky, I guess...LOL. Thanks for hostessing Candy!
I hope everyone has a great day...Marylee
hi i guess ill post i have been busy collecting seeds i have so many new variets this year i dont think ill ever get caughht up packing them up
anyone know how to do mexican sunflowers without killing your fingers
well ill let everyone know when there seeds come in
anyone else need my addy not many have asked
Uhhh...you guys are making me look bad :wink: The deadline is Oct 15th! Hehehe- I guess I have always been the procrastinator of the group.
I'm leaving for NY tonight for a wee or so, but I'll be taking everything with me...not to fear!
Whenever things get me down.....I love to read this poem...
William Ernest Henley. 1849Â1903
7. Invictus
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
OK, was that last post a little too off topic? Sorry...FYI- plans have changed and the seeds will be out on Monday instead (which is the deadline) I will post a DC.
I figured you wouldn't mind because you have so many seeds to sort through already.
i have everyones envies ready to go out on mon i hopei didnt send you any dups if i did i sent everyone lots of xtras if i made a mistake i hope i made up for it
monica you sent me so much postage i sent you 2 envies back i hope i sent you 3to4 times the seed back i h ope you are happy
i hope evryone is happy
Oh Candy, how thaughtful. I had bought the MO before I packaged the seeds up. I thaught it was no biggie though for all the hard work you're doing.
Monday- WOW! That was fast!
Again, thank you for hosting such a wonderful swap.
So far, great expirience for me.
I recieved my packages yesterday. Thank you so much for all of these seeds! I had to hide them from my DH out on my porch so he wouldn't have a heart attack.
A lot of the packets came without seeds in them. I would say about fifteen of them. I didn't see any seeds floating inside the package either. It's ok though, I consider free packets to put seeds into that I won't have to make.
Thank you so much for hosting this swap and all of the lovely seeds! I would DEFINATELY participate in another swap of yours in the future. Thank you again!

Round (18" dia) Teak Side Table with Serving Tray
The clever design of this all solid teak side table comes with a removable top that doubles as a serving tray! The 18" diameter tray is designed to sit snug on the table top. The design plays on the functional with a touch of whimsy. As with the rest of the Kafelonia Collection, this piece fits beautifully in any space for any occasion, indoors or out. Exclusively designed for Westminster, the Kafelonia Collection epitomizes the beautiful marrying of traditional craftsmanship and the clean lines of modern design. The pure forms and modern simplicity of each piece is a true reflection of timeless design. With the appropriate finish on the teak frames and fitting fabric selection on the cushions, the entire collection would fit beautifully indoors or out. Made to contract quality specifications.
As you browse through our pages and speak with our knowledgeable customer representatives, you will find there are quite a few reasons why many have returned and recommended others to shop with us over the past 12 years. Here are some that we often hear why many of our customers think we stand out:
I've been meaning to write you and let you know how very pleased I am with the Barbuda-Java folding table and chairs I recently ordered. They arrived very promptly & had to wait in our garage until the gazebo arrived. Each piece was perfect.
The chairs are very comfortable & don't even need seat cushions. The table is just what I wanted since it folds down to a very narrow size. The quality of everything is superb.
I would like to commend Flo with whom I spoke on July 19th when I placed the order. She was pleasant, well-informed and spent time with me to make sure that I was satisfied. She was an excellent customer service rep & I hope this message will be relayed to her.
I will definitely recommend Westminster Teak to anyone looking for quality furniture, fair price and excellent service.

Janet, John, Alison, Neil Connor (9yrs) and Erin (6yrs)
We needed a peaceful getaway to recuperate after a most traumatic time.
Villa Angel was exactly what we needed.
Caroline and Jeff were the perfect hosts and nothing seemed too much trouble.
The accomodation was spotless and extremely well equipped and everything we needed was on hand.
An excellent bus service took us to either Mijas centre or Fuengirola in less than 10 minutes so we had the choice of the bustle of a busy town or the peace of a beautiful, quiet village.
I can guarantee that we will be returning as we have had such a wonderful time in a wonderful place.
Thank you very much for your excellent hospitatliyu.
This is a Great Villa to stay in, with excellent access to local transport routes. The owners eere warm, friendly and very accomidating going above and beyond the call of duty.
This is a great place to stay. Well appointed and high spec villa with lots of amenities close by and good transport links. Would highly recommend!
Perfect appartment within a beautiful villa just 20 minutes by car from Malaga airport. It is near enough to public transport for non drivers to still feel they can be in the hills yet able to access the beautiful village of Mijas and the larger town of Fuengirola.
Within minutes of arriving we were relaxing by the lovely pool. We found the acommodation lived up to the description in everyway. It was extremely clean and the modern bathrooms ticked all boxes. We found Caroline to be discrete and helpful, putting bread, water and milk into the fridge was an extra we didn't expect. Where would we have been without Geoffrey. On one ocassion he helped us out with a problem that many other owners would turned away from.
Thank you for helping us have the successful, restorative break we three ladies needed.
Just back from our third visit to this lovely clean and comfortable villa, (last time was 2010). It was just as inviting as on our last visit and it was great to see Caroline and Geoff again who seemed to be as pleased to see us as we were to see them and made us very welcome.
It was just as we remembered and so lovely to have the pool and lovely large secluded garden to ourselves after sharing with others on our last two holidays elsewhere.
We can highly recommend this lovely villa which has so much to offer if you want a great relaxing place to stay and Caroline and Geoff are very helpful and inviting.
You must pay a visit into Mijas village which is adorable and have drinks or a meal at 'The Secret Garden'. Also we visited the well-known 'Valparaiso Restaurant' a couple of times and the food and entertainment were amazing. It is only a 5 minute walk from the villa.
Back home again now, but we will definitely be back.
Janet, John, Alison, Neil, Connor (13) and Erin (10).
Mijas has the finest views on the Costa del Sol. Numerous restaurants offering all types of cuisine. Active bull ring, museum and shops of all types. British doctors and dentists available. From Mijas trips to Granada, Ronda, Tangiers, Gibraltar and other interesting places. Close by is Aqua Park and Fuengirola Zoo. The Aquarium at Benalmedina is worth a visit. The motorway link is 1 km away, giving easy access to the whole of the Costas and our local beaches have Blue Flag ratings. There are also numerous golf courses and tennis courts within easy reach.Regular bus service close to villa & train direct from Malaga airport to Fuengirola .Fantastic location to get around the costa del sol .

Palace Reserves Game Now Behind Closed Doors
Monday, 20th Feb 2012 14:47
Tuesday afternoon's reserves friendly against Crystal Palace at Playford Road will now be played behind closed doors. The club initially said fans would be welcome to watch the game against the Eagles.
Town cite "football reasons" as the explanation for the change of policy, which may indicate that one or both clubs could field trialists, something which requires less paperwork if a game is played without spectators present.

Asus Joins High Density Display Club With New Transformer Tablet 265

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
You can use any Bluetooth keyboard with the iPad and battery docks are a dime a dozen....
Because the keyboard dock turns it into an Android netbook, rather than a kludgy collection of knocked-together addons where you have to support the display with your knees?
finally the 16:9 fad is over. maybe soon i'll be able to replace my 15" WUXGA D830...
So pairing a Bluetooth keyboard and a using a stand makes it a "kludge"?
Uh, yes. Is this supposed to be a trick question?
I thought we were comparing tablets, or netbooks/ultrabooks with a touch screen interface.
While interesting, what you linked to does not seem to have a touchscreen interface listed in the specs. HP only seems to offer a single touchscreen product [hp.com] for almost 3 times as much when you search their site.
I'm particularly interested in the touchscreen for some mobile employee use cases that we have. The Latitude XT tablet is the cheapest that I can find starting at $750. Without the dock, this new Transformer Prime is $499, considerably less than $750. That's an Android OS, but I have been looking into HTML5 to capture touch screen input.
"It's an actual accessory designed specifically for this particular tablet, not some 3rd party attachment designed to try and fill a void. "
Right because an accessory designed for the iPad is not designed specifically for the iPad....
It's actually the other way around really. The tablet is designed for the accessory, whereas an ipad is not. So the accessory then works quite a bit better with the tablet because the tablet was designed to use it.
Great! So on an iPad all HD video has to be scaled up to a different resolution resulting in a loss of perceivable sharpness, whereas on this Asus it can be displayed at a perfect 1:1 pixel correspondence.
I know which I'd prefer.

Helmets and other articles are made reflective through the use of coatings which include retroreflective platelet particles cut from a larger retroreflective sheeting.
1. An article carrying on a surface of the article a coating that comprises a transparent binder film and retroreflective platelet particles dispersed in said film; said platelet particles comprising flat segments cut from a larger retroreflective sheeting; the shortest dimension of a face of the segments averaging at least about one-and-one-half times the thickness of the segments and the segments including a monolayer of retroreflective elements optically exposed over at least one face of the segments; the index of refraction of said binder film being such that said segments retroreflect light incident on the film.
2. A coated article of claim 1 in which the article coated is a helmet.
3. A coated article of claim 1 in which said segments are cut from sheeting that comprises two retroreflective sheetings laminated back-to-back so that said segments have a monolayer of retroreflective elements optically exposed over both large-area faces of the segment.
4. A coated article of claim 3 in which the article coated is a helmet.
5. A coated article of claim 1 in which said monolayer of retroreflective elements comprises a monolayer of transparent microspheres covered by a flat exterior transparent cover layer.
6. A coated article of claim 5 in which the article coated is a helmet.
This a continuation of application Ser. No. 743,889, filed Nov. 22, 1976 now abandoned, which itself was a division of application Ser. No. 592,744, filed July 2, 1975 and now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 4,004,930.
The best known commercial composition for coating a surface to make it retroreflective is described in Palmquist et al, U.S. Pat. No. 2,963,378. This composition comprises a liquid vehicle and a dispersion of transparent glass microspheres, each of which carries a hemispherical "cap" of vaporcoated aluminum. When the composition is coated onto a surface, a percentage of the microspheres become oriented with their uncapped surface disposed toward the outer surface of the coating, Light rays incident on the coating are approximately focused by these oriented microspheres onto their respective hemispherical caps, whereuppon the light rays are reflected along substantially the same axis as they traveled to the microspheres. The result is a bright retroreflection of light.
While such coating compositions have been quite successful, they do not have a maximum retroreflectivity, since statistically only about one-third of the microspheres in a final coating are oriented to give maximum retroreflectivity, Further, such compositions are generally limited to a metallic color, caused by the hemispherical coating of aluminum. And when coatings made from the compositions are wet, as from rain or condensation of moisture, their retroreflective properties are greatly reduced.
These deficiencies have been recognized during the approximately 20 years that coating compositions as described have been marketed. But despite a desire for improvement, no one insofar as known, ever provided a coating composition that countered the described deficiencies.
Briefly, a new fluid composition of the invention comprises
When a coating composition of the invention is spread on a surface, the segments will tend to settle in the applied coating and, if necessary, turn so that their flat face is parallel to the substrate. Such a turning will occur, for example, when an edge of the segment strikes a substrate, because of the force of gravity or force or propulsion. Or it will occur because a coating operation such as a rolling or brushing operation introduced aligning forces. The result is that a high percentage of the particles are properly oriented to retroreflect light rays incident on a coating.
(While other flat particles, including thin, flat, specularly reflective, so-called "glitter" particles, have previously been used in coating compositions -- see Coffey et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,725,119 --no one, insofar as known, has previously suggested the use of flat retroreflective platelet particles in a coating composition, nor that such a use would answer the desire for improved orientation of retroreflective elements in such a composition. Glitter particles are distinct from retroreflective particles, and glitter cotaings do not require the organization of a retroreflective coating, in which a mass of retroreflective elements must be oriented into a common position, so that those elements will cooperate to return light in the same direction.)
Preferably, segments used in the invention have a monolayer of optically exposed retroreflective elements on each of their large-area surfaces to further maximize retroreflectivity. Such segments can be cut from webs prepared by adhering together two retroreflective sheets, with their respective monolayers of retroreflective elements facing outwardly.
Because the platelet particles are embedded in a matrix of binder material, they will retroreflect even if the coating becomes wet. Further, since the segment or platelet particle can be colored, as by coloring of a transparent cover layer on the sheeting from which the segment is cut, colored coating effects can be obtained.
FIG. 1 is an enlarged cross-section through a platelet particle or segment useful according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-section through a coating formed from an illustrative coating composition of the invention; and
FIGS. 3 and 4 are schematic diagrams of apparatus useful in preparing segments useful according to the invention.
Platelet particles or segments useful according to the invention may be cut from a number of either commercial or specially prepared retroreflective sheetings. An especially useful sheeting is flat-surfaced retroreflective sheeting as described in Palmquist et al, U.S. Pat. No. 2,407,680, which has a transparent flat cover layer that physically covers a monolayer of transparent microspheres but leaves the monolayer optically exposed. Specular reflective means, typically an aluminum vapor-coat, underlies and is in optical connection with the backs of the microspheres. The cover layer (which may be colored, as with a soluble dye or organic pigment) and microspheres have a ratio of indices of refraction that causes the microspheres to achieve a desired focusing of light rays that are incident on the front surface of the sheeting. If the microspheres focus the light rays at their back surface, the specular reflective means is typically applied directly to the microspheres. If incident light rays are focused at a point beyond the back surface of the microspheres, a transparent layer (often known as a space coat) is typically disposed between the microspheres and the specular reflective means so as to position the latter at the focal point. The desired focusing occurs even if a liquid or transparent solid material covers the cover layer, and the result is that segments cut from such sheeting will retroreflect efficiently even when covered by a liquid or embedded in a transparent film.
Segments useful according to the invention can also be cut from so-called "exposed-lens" constructions, in which a monolayer of transparent microspheres is only partially embedded in the exterior surface of a film. Such segments can be included in a coating composition and will retroreflect efficiently if the film-forming binder material in the composition and the microspheres have an appropriate ratio of indices of refraction. Space coats can also be used to achieve desired focusing. As examples, if no space coat is used and the microspheres have an index of refraction of 2.7, then the film-forming binder material should have an index of refraction of 1.38 to obtain maximum retroreflectivity. However, by proper adjustments, materials of other indices can be used; for example 2.3-index microspheres can be used in 1.5-index binder materials.
A different type of sheeting from which segments useful in the invention may be cut is described in McKenzie, U.S. Pat. No. 3,190,178. This sheeting is exposed-lens in the sense that it uses microspheres only partially embedded in a support sheet, but the microspheres are covered by a transparent cover sheet spaced above the layer of microspheres. The cover sheet is held to the support sheet by a network of bonds that form hermetically sealed pockets, and segmenting of the sheeting should maintain a high proportion of such sealed pockets.
FIG. 1 shows an illustrative segment 10 prepared from two flat-surfaced retroreflective sheetings 11 adhered together back-to-back by a layer of adhesive 12. Instead of laminating two retroreflective sheets together, a single sheeting may be used, or a retroreflective sheet may be laminated to a colored or specularly reflective sheet to obtain different decorative results. A variety of adhesives can be used to adhere the sheetings together, including pressure-sensitive adhesives, solvent-activated or thermo-softening adhesives, and reactive adhesives.
To increase the tendency for the segments to lie flat on one of their large-area faces in an applied coating, the shortest dimension of the segment faces should be at least about 11/2times, and preferably at least two or three times, as great as the thickness of the segments. Preferably the segments are less than 0.5 millimeter thick, and more preferably less than 0.25 millimeter thick. FIG. 2 shows an illustrative coating 14 on a substrate 15, the coating including segments 16 embedded in a transparent film 17 formed from a film-forming binder material.
Usually the segments will be square but they can also be rectangular, triangular or of unusual shapes. Provided the needed ratio of area to thickness is maintained, smaller-area segments are often desired to produce a more uniform coating. For example, square segments are often preferred that are less than about 3 millimeters, and more preferably less than 1or 2 millimeters on a side. However, for some purposes the segments will be larger, such as 5 or 10 millimeters on a side. If the substrate to be coated is large and flat, then large segments are more useful; whereas a small and complicated surface will generally call for smaller segments. Also coatings formed using larger segments will generally provide brighter retroreflection.
The retroreflective elements most typically comprise transparent microspheres, with some specularly reflective means underlying and in optical connection with the back surfaces of the microspheres. Aggregate of microspheres such as taught in Palmquist et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,043,196, may also be used as retroreflective elements, as can so-called "cube-corner" retroreflective elements having means, such as a coating of specularly reflective material on the cube-cornered back surface of a sheeting, to maintain retroreflectivity even when segments from the sheeting are embedded in a transparent film.
Apparatus for forming segments useful in the invention is illustrated schematically in FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 shows an overall apparatus, and FIG. 4 shows a chopper mechanism in greater detail. As shown in FIG. 3, sheeting 19 to be cut into segments may be unwound from a supply roll 20, passed around an idler roller 21, and driven by two drive rollers 22 to a chopper 23. The sheeting unwound from the supply roll 20 may be either a sheeting having a single retroreflective face or a composite sheeting in which each of its faces is retroreflective. Alternatively, two different sheetings can be unwound from supply rolls, passed through a coating station to apply adhesive to one or both of them, then pressed together by nip rolls to adhere them together, and then introduced to a chopper.
The chopper 23 produces lineal segments having a width depending on the rate of feed of the sheeting 19. (Instead of a chopper as shown, which chops a transverse length of a web, a slitting mechanism can be used, which forms longitudinal cuts in the web and thus separates the web into longitudinally extending sections.) The lineal segments then drop to a conveyer 24, and eventually pass through a second chopper 26. (Although the apparatus is shown as being straight-line, the conveyor belt or second chopper may be aligned at right angles to the first chopper so as to feed the lineal segments longitudinally through the second chopper). The second chopper 26 produces segments as shown in FIG. 1, which may be tumbled into a rotary mixer 27 together with a parting agent such as a fine silica powder or fine glass microspheres of 1.5 index refraction. The parting agent covers the adhesive at the cut edges of the segments to prevent them from sticking together. If the parting agent has an index of refraction the same as that of the binder material for the coating composition, the parting agent will not be visible in the coating. From the mixer 27 the segments cascade onto a screen that separates the segments from any excess parting agent.
FIG. 4 shows an illustrative chopper mechanism 26. Feed rolls 28 may be disposed above a table 29 to advance chopped lineal segments from the chopper 23 through a straightening guide 30. The straightening guide comprises a block, made, for example, of metal and formed with a set of parallel grooves 31 in its bottom face. The straightened lineal segments are drawn from the guide 30 with a variable-speed feeding roll 32 and then over a stationary knife 33. Just beyond the stationary knife is a rotating knife assembly having several square-edged knives 34 which chop off segments from material fed along the stationary knife. A cooling gas may be applied through jets 35 to make the web more stiff and thus more readily chopped. The use of two retroreflective sheetings adhered together further enhances the stiffness of the web.
The chopping process generally leaves the segment substantially intact optically, with little separation of glass microspheres from a cover layer, for example, except to some extent along the edge of the segment. Generally the chopped product has a rather perpendicular edge.
In making a fluid composition of the invention, the platelet particles or segments are dispersed in a liquid vehicle, which typically comprises a film-forming binder material dissolved or dispersed in a volatile thinner (such as an organic solvent or water), and which forms a nontacky adherent film when applied as a thin layer onto a substrate and, exposed to an appropriate environment. Desirably the fluid composition incudes a thixotropic agent to assist in maintaining the segments in dispersion. However, even if some settling occurs, the composition can be stirred to redisperse the segments. The amount of segments included in the composition varies with the effect desired. Most often, slightly fewer segments than would be needed to fully cover a coated surface are used to avoid piling of the segments on top of one another. However, more can be used to obtain brighter effects, or less can be used. The liquid vehicle and segments are compatible with one another; for example, the liquid vehicle should not dissolve or attack the cover layer or other exposed portion of a segment.
Coating compositions of the invention are especially useful for application to complex or compound surfaces such as motorcycle helmets, traffic cone sleeves, bicycle frames or fenders. Decorative effects can be obtained by using segments of different color, or segments that have a different color on each side, whereupon a mosaic effect is obtained.
While the invention is most concerned with coating compositions, the invention also extends to compositions that are used in molding or casting applications, in forming of gel-coats, etc.
Instead of incorporating segments of the invention in a fluid composition, they may be used in a drop-on application. In that case it is typical to first coat a film-forming binder material onto a surface and then drop the segments onto the coating. A cover film of binder material is then typically applied over the segments.

With it tumbling and no longer transmitting there's no way to accurately state it's altitude even if you did have a real time upper atmosphere model. There's simply no way to inform people in real time because there's no way to know in real time. Even if you constantly updated it by the time the info was passed on that entry had occurred it would already be on the ground (or darn soon afterward).
