An antifouling coating composition comprising a settable resin and a non-metallic algicide that does not react with the resin. The composition can be applied to flexible and rigid substrates and does not contain heavy metals.
1. An antifouling coating composition for submergible articles comprising a polymer selected from a vinyl acetate homopolymer; a vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer; a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer; and an acrylic polyvinyl chloride copolymer; and
a non-metallic algicide consisting essentially of a quaternary ammonium compound having methyl groups and two alkyl groups alone or in combination with a second quaternary ammonium compound having methyl groups, an alkyl group and a benzyl group, said algicide being encapsulated in said polymer and being capable of being leeched from said composition during submersion.
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the polymer is a vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer and the alkyl group in the quaternary ammonium compound has up to 16 carbon atoms.
3. A composition as claimed in claim 1 including a filler.
4. A composition as claimed in claim 3 in which the filler is selected from calcium talc, silica.
This invention relates to an antifouling coating composition. The composition is useful for coating equipment to be inserted in the sea, for example fish nets and boat hulls but also finds use for coating roof shingles and the like exposed to much rain and subject to algae growth.
The growth of algae on structures, for example on boat hulls, on fishing nets, on roofs and on patios is unsightly. There are however, more important failings. The hull of a boat is considerably less efficient when coated with algae. The drainage of a roof can be adversely effected by the presence of algae and patios, balconies and the like can become slippery when wet if algae is present. In industry fouling and plugging of water pipes, particularly in cooling systems, can occur with algae growth, for example in the pulp and paper mill industries. The warm temperatures in cooling system waters make ideal conditions for algae growth.
A hull of a boat or a walkway can be scrubbed to remove the algae but, for example, in the case of a boat, this involves removing the boat from the water and also involves a considerable amount of hard work. As a result chemical approaches have been used. Compounds such as chlorine, organic mercury compounds, chlorinated phenols, organic bromine compounds and organic sulphur compounds have all been used in an attempt to reduce the growth of algae.
In the growing of fish in pens there is a marked need for a biodegradable antifouling coating for the nets that are used to pen the fish. The coating is required to prevent the growth of marine organisms, which restrict the flow of fresh tidal water through the net.
This need has been met by the use of antifouling coatings containing heavy metals, for example organic tin and mercury compounds and the like. However, heavy metal coating are environmentally undesirable, particularly in the marine environment. It has been shown that they have an adverse effect upon shell fish beds and other coastal marine life even in trace amounts. As a result the use of heavy metals for this use is now illegal in some jurisdictions.
Yet a further use of antifouling compositions is in hospitals where medically sterile environments are required if staff infections are to be avoided.
However, no system developed so far is believed to be ideal. The most popular, the use of chlorine, is limited first by the toxicity of chlorines and chlorine containing compounds. To be effective chlorine requires quite large doses, making its use economically unattractive. Furthermore, chlorine is a highly reactive compound, meaning that it can be difficult to store and, when applied, can react with other compounds in the environment, reducing its effectiveness against algae.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,881,008 to Shema et al. teaches the use of N-2-nitrobutyl morpholine mixed with N-alkyl-dimethyl-benzyl ammonium chloride as a slime control composition. But the prior art fails to teach coating compositions, effective over a considerable period, to destroy algae.
The present invention seeks to provide a lasting coating composition, giving antifouling properties over a considerable period. Accordingly the present invention is an antifouling coating composition comprising:
a settable resin; and
a non-metallic algicide that does not react with the resin.
The resin may be a polymer of an olefinic monomer, suspendable in water to form a stable emulsion or latex. For example, suitable polymers include vinyl acetate-acrylic copolymer; vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer; acrylic-polyvinyl chloride copolymer and vinylidene chloride copolymers.
In a further preferred embodiment the settable resin may be an epoxy resin, for example one curable by a polyamide.
The preferred non-metallic algicides are quaternary ammonium compounds. Particularly preferred are n-alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chlorides. Especially preferred are those compounds in which the n-alkyl group is one having 12, 14 or 16 carbon atoms.
Other useful quaternary ammonium compounds include myristyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, stearyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, dialkyl benzyl ammonium chlorides, and N-trichloromethyl thiophthalimide.
A composition according to the invention may include a filler, for example calcium carbonate, talc or silica. The use of fillers as a means of increasing the bulk of coating composition is well-known.
The invention is illustrated in the following formulations, which illustrate antifouling compositions according to the present invention, particularly useful for coating fish nets.
2 parts UCAR� 503 polymer (acrylic-styrene)
0.1 to 1.25 parts N-alkyl dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride (e.g. from Lonza, N.J.)
0 to 6 parts water
Add the polymer slowly with stirring to the water until well mixed. Continue stirring and slowly add the algicide until well mixed. Coating composition thickness is easily controlled by reducing or increasing water content. Lower water content results in thicker coatings. This composition containing 6 parts water is particularly good for coating fish netting to prevent fouling.
2 parts Swift 6113 polymer (vinyl acetate-ethylene) from Swift Co., Burnaby, Canada
0.1 to 1.25 parts N-alkyl dimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride
0 to 6 parts water
This formula containing 1.2 parts algicide is particularly good for coating fish netting to prevent fouling.
Same as formulas A or B but polymer is vinyl-acetate type such as Union Carbide 367.
Same as formulas A or B but polymer is Reichold 101X from Reichold, Port Moody, Canada
Same as formulas A or B but polymer is vinyl alcohol-vinyl acetate type such as UCAR 137.
Same as formula A or B but polymer is acrylic-styrene-polyvinyl alcohol type such as UCAR 516 or UCAR 124.
Same as formulas A or B but polymer is natural rubber.
25 parts polymer of types shown in formulas A to G above
74 parts or less of water
1 part algicide or microbicide such as FUNGITROL 11 (formulation containing Folpet produced by Nuodex Inc., Piscataway, N.J. Folpet is a trademark for N-trichloromethyl thiophthalimide.
This formula is blended in analogous fashion to formula A above.
Same as formulas A to H but N-alkyl n-methyl ammonium chlorides having any combination of carbon containing alkyl groups, or dialkyl groups, or stearyl containing groups, or methyl containing groups or aryl containing groups are used as algicide or microbicide.
Same as formulas A to I with the addition of varying amounts of polymer stabilizers such as Dow Corning 6020 or 6070 or 6075 silane. These stabilizers increase the ability of the coating composition to repel water.
The above formulas A to J can be used immediately or stored and then remixed, with stirring, prior to coating a marine surface, for example a fish net. In this application fish nets can be dipped in these formulas followed by draining and drying in air for, for example, 90 minutes. Good coatings are especially achieved in temperatures of at least 18� C. Coating should be carried out in a well ventilated environment, encouraging good air flow. The coated surface can be water rinsed prior to use in the marine environment. Coatings typically have a life of about 18 months and can be reapplied by washing the used coatings with pressurized water followed by redipping of the re-exposed substrate, for example fish net, using the method described above.
Epoxy containing formulations are illustrated by formulas K, L and M below. A highly water resistant epoxy, for example that available under the trade mark Novolac Den 444 from Dow Chemical, can be mixed with a variety of solvents to form a new composition referred to as part A in these formulations. Polyamides such as those available from Henkel under the trade mark Versamide 115, 125 and 140 can be dispersed in a solvent, for example xylene, and then mixed with the above algicides to form novel water, free antifouling dispersions referred to as part B in the formulations below. Parts A and B can be mixed to form antifouling compositions, which set due to the reaction between the epoxy bases and the polyamides. Various types and amount of solvents are chosen to complement the viscosity characteristics of the amide hardener and the epoxyresin. Solvents can be evaporated as the reaction proceeds. Parts A and B are mixed in the proportions of 3 to 1 for formulas K and M. Parts A and B are mixed in the proportions of 2.3 to 1 for formula L. The ratio is dependent on stoichiometric requirements plus flexibility and adhesion requirements. After waiting 10 to 15 minutes the product of A and B can be used to coat the desired substrate. Useable application times are typically 2 hours.

Thus the present invention provides low toxicity, antifouling compositions particularly suitable for coating marine submersibles, for example fish nets and boat hulls, and containing non-metallic algicide. The compositions are also useful for coating non-marine structures, such as roof shingles, particularly those exposed to much rain and thus subject to algae growth.
Formulations according to the present invention may also be useful in the treating of cedar shakes and shingles. In addition to the antifouling capabilities it also has the ability to confine or contain cedar oils within the shake or shingle. This prevents the contamination of water courses by the migration of the oil from the wood. This migration is a problem in the development of large subdivisions.
The compositions are characterized by the absence of chemical reaction between the algicide and the carrier. The algicide is encapsulated in the polymer carrier and slowly migrates to the surface to give a long term, reliable antifouling effect.
The quarternary ammonium chloride algicides, leaching into the surrounding waters from the polymer carrier, are degraded by oxygen and water, unlike highly toxic metal containing antifouling agents. Algicides of the N-trichloromethyl thiophthalmide type, which are generally available under the trade mark Folpet leach into the surrounding waters and are slowly hydrolysed. The chlorine substituents are combined with marine cations such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium to form harmless salts.
The use of inert fillers which are desirable in coating formulations, does not have any effect on the antifouling capability of the compositions.
The algicides act as plasticizers for the polymer carriers, making the latex containing coatings particularly suitable for flexible substrates by inhibiting chipping of the polymer from the substrate, for example fish nets. Epoxy containing coatings are particularly suitable for rigid substrates, such as marine buoys or boat hulls. Algicides impregnated in epoxy carriers leach less rapidly than algicides contained in latex carriers.

From hot-air ballooning to kite surfing, nearly every imaginable activity can be arranged during your holiday in Thailand. Select from the following activities to learn more about Thailand's diverse activities or browse the highlighted activities and select those you wish to add to your travel planner by clicking the link with the green circle.
As a Buddhist nation, Thailand is full of spectacular temples, the purpose of which is for Thais to devout themselves to the principals passed down by the Buddha, nee Siddhartha Gautama. As Thailand is such a welcoming country and Buddhism is a non-restrictive religion, it is easy for visitors to study Buddhism and learn meditation at a number of temples and meditation retreats around the country.
While those simply curious about Buddhism can attend "monk chats" at Wat Chedi Luang or Wat Suan Dok in Chiang Mai, these and other temples allow visitors to check themselves in for a week or longer of intensive meditation study.
While certainly intriguing, these meditation retreats are not for those unprepared for serious self reflection: the purpose of meditation is to clear the mind and achieve clarity and inner peace; consequently, most meditation programs do not allow students to talk during their stay, with the exception of meditative chanting and discussions with senior monks to help their meditation techniques. Furthermore, by its very nature, meditation can be somewhat mundane, and so visitors are expected to follow the routines and procedures quite thoroughly if they wish to genuinely learn to meditate properly and achieve the most from their experience.
For those unable to commit to a remote meditation retreat from which they cannot easily leave, Wat Mahatat, near Bangkok's Grand Palace, allows visitors to study meditation no less strictly, but with more flexible time requirements.
With idyllic tropical beaches, majestic temples, fascinating culture, and world class service and accommodation, Thailand is undoubtedly a romantic kingdom. Consequently, it's a top destination for those looking to marry in an exotic land or experience the ultimate honeymoon. In fact, many of Thailand's finest hotels and spa retreats offer wedding and honeymoon packages specifically designed to ensure you have the ultimate romantic getaway. Whether you are looking for a private beach-side swimming pool, an outdoor tub overlooking the jungle, a romantic riverside candle-lit dinner, or the ultimate his and her pampering at a Thai spa, Thailand has innumerable options to make your special date the most memorable experience of your lives.
Thailand has abundant natural resources, including a variety of flora and fauna, as well as a diverse natural environment. There are more than 100 national parks, including over 20 marine parks, and the animals in Thailand include more than 1,000 different mammal species, numerous birds -both native and migratory, and spectacular marine life.
Each Thai National Park is inhabited by unique flora and fauna, from the northern mountain's temperate forests and central Thailand's expansive plains to the northeastern savannahs and the southern coast's mangrove forests. The diversity of wildlife includes monkeys, gibbons, elephants, bears, and even whale shark, the largest fish in the world.
Eco-activities in Thailand include trekking, kayaking, snorkeling, nature photography, river rafting, bird watching, and spotting other wild animals in Thailand, such as elephants and gibbons.
Thai plants and animals are both unique and diverse, with a variety of climates suitable for various plant and animal species.
Natural forest covers nearly 25% of Thailand, with woodlands consisting primarily of monsoon forest and rainforest. Monsoon forests consist primarily of deciduous or hardwood trees, which shed their leaves during the dray season in order to conserve water. The rainforest zones are covered by evergreen trees. In the in the coastal lowlands, in addition to more predominately rainforest cover, mangroves and rattan abound. Trekking, horse riding, mountain biking, and even kayaking are great ways to get out into Thailand nature and make the most of your experience in the kingdom.
Thailand is famous for its variety of fruit and flower bearing trees and plants, the most iconic of which is the orchid, Thailand's national flower which appears in over 27,000 different varieties.
While encroachment on their habitat has reduced the numbers of exotic animals in Thailand, there are still a great variety of indigenous species. The most iconic of these is the Elephant, of which roughly 1,000 remain, mostly within the National Parks in Thailand. Among the larger mammals are the tiger, leopard, Malaysian sun bear, sambar deer, otter, and civet cat. Climbing animals include the gibbon and many species of monkeys. There are also sheep, goats, oxen, tapirs, wild cattle, wild hogs, and a wide variety of snakes, including cobra.
There are over 900 breeding bird species indigenous to or migrating to Thailand. Birdwatching tours are particularly popular in Sam Roi Yot National Park and Khao Sok, which is home to six species of hornbill. Crocodiles, lizards, and turtles are numerous. Fish abound in the rivers and coastal waters.
Thailand's geography and terrain are quite diverse: from the lush, jungle covered peaks of the northern mountains to the turquoise hues of the Gulf of Thailand. Exploring Thailand by air, whether skydiving or riding aboard a hot air balloon, glider, helicopter, or small aircraft allows visitors to have an exhilarating experience while getting a unique perspective on Thailand's spectacular countryside.
Thai culture features a number of performing arts including Thai dance, drama, and sport, all of which have a number of intriguing variations. Variety shows that feature a number of different theatrical arts are common in Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Phuket, and Pattaya. There are also venues that feature Thai culture shows that specialize in particular arts.
Perhaps the most popular among visitors is classical Thai dance, which is typically accompanied by live classical Thai music. Thai dance performances in Chiang Mai, which are typically arranged in conjunction with a dinner of traditional Thai food, also feature dances from various hill tribes living in Thailand. Thai theatre includes performances by masked dancers as well as puppet shows, either performed by similarly masked dancers, or from behind a curtain using the shadows of the puppets to recount tales from Hindu and Buddhist lore.
Other Thai culture performances include wedding ceremonies, theatrical performances of ancient Muay Thai boxing matches, and of course exhibitions of Elephants, either showing off their working skills or even playing musical instruments.

There are no rules when it comes to giving.
Or more accurately, there are no agreed upon rules because everyone has their own set of unique of criteria when it comes to deciding how much they should give. $20 dollars? Minimum of $100? Or how about your favourite number, $77.77?
When it comes to providing the option to accept donations using InviteRight, we have often suggested that "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication," and that event organizers such as gala fundraisers or high school drama teachers should provide a straightforward set of common denominations to choose from: $20, $50, $100 etc. But those that give often also love the freedom of choice…that's where our new Amounts feature comes in…

November 20, 2014
At three conferences that we attended this past month, a recurring topic of discussion was how school districts can create greater financial transparency to avoid fraud with school generated funds. With the numerous activities such as field trips and fundraisers happening throughout the year the misappropriation of funds can add up quickly – in some cases costing parents, students and schools over 50k a year. Certain fraud techniques can even persist for years undetected.
Fraud occurs funds are misreported or concealed. When there are gaps in financial transparency, transactions that use cash typically become the most susceptible to fraud. However what became alarming to delegates of the conferences that we attended this month was that cheques could be similarly compromised.

Radio DJ Steve Wright regains his fuller figure three years after losing one and a half stone
Three years ago, he lost over one and a half stone after becoming shocked by a photo of himself looking heavier.
However, it appears radio DJ Steve Wright has relaxed back into his former eating habits after being spotted looking fuller again.
The veteran presenter, 58, was cutting a rounder shape as he left the BBC studios on Thursday following his Radio 2 afternoon show.
Weight battles: DJ Steve Wright, pictured in London this week (left), appears to have regain the weight he lost in 2010 (right)
Wearing baggy jeans, a dark blue shirt and blazer, the father-of-two looked relaxed as he walked to his nearby flat, just a few minutes from the studio.
The broadcaster, who has worked for Radio 2 since 1996, famously shifted the pounds after overhauling his diet in 2010.
In September 2010, he revealed he had lost 1 1/2 stone and was hoping to lose even more.
Active: Although Steve appears to regained some of the weight he lost, he still gets exercise by walking
He told the Mail at the time: 'I've been eating healthily and I've lost about one-and-a-half stone. I've cut out chips, crisps and I no longer eat chocolate.'
Living in central London, he admitted he had started walking around the West End to burn the calories, in particular Regent's Park.
He explained: 'When you get to my age you get that paunch and I also sit down all day for my work. So exercise is the key – but eating right is also important.'
Keeping busy: Steve still hosts his long-running afternoon show on weekdays
The former Radio 1 Breakfast DJ currently hosts his daily three-hour show Steve Wright In The Afternoon on weekdays and Sunday Love Songs.
Despite his weight loss three years ago, sources close to the star told a paper in 2011 that he found it hard to resist his favourite food.
A source told the Daily Mirror at the time: 'Steve is constantly battling his weight but can't help himself, he loves his food and is always snacking on something.'
Cover up: Steve appeared to be wearing some kind of hairpiece or hair thickener as he shopped in London on Monday
Ageing: Like many men, Steve is understandably frustrated with hair loss
During her heyday on Radio 1 in the Nineties, Steve was fairly trim, but like many men of his age, succumbed to a slower metabolism once hitting his Fifties.
Meanwhile, it looked like Steve was trying to cover up his receding hairline when he was pictured earlier in the week.
The DJ looked like he was wearing some kind of hairpiece as he walked home with some shopping bags.
Steve is thought to be still single following his 1999 split from ex-wife Cyndi, mother of his children Tom and Lucy.

Obama administration
Affordable Care Act
- See also: Obamacare overview
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, was passed in its finality on March 21, 2010, and signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010.[7]
The aim of the law was to provide an expansion of health insurance coverage to more Americans through both individual health insurance marketplaces as well as through employer-provided plans. Minimum requirements of coverage were established and both individual and employer mandates were established over a period of years in order to achieve the goal of expanded coverage. Subsidies and tax credits are provided to individual consumers based on income level and dependents, and existing programs such as medicaid and CHIP were expanded to increase reach. Small businesses receive tax credits based on the level of insurance offered to employees, as well.[8]
Ten essential benefits for coverage
The law included ten essential benefits that plans created after the law's passage needed to include. Existing plans were grandfathered in, but few of the grandfathered plans remain due to frequent changes to health insurance policies.[9] The ten essential benefits outlined by the ACA are:[10]
- Ambulatory patient services
- Emergency services
- Hospitalization
- Maternity and newborn care
- Mental health and substance abuse disorder services, including behavioral health treatment
- Prescription drugs
- Rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices
- Laboratory services
- Preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management
- Pediatric services, including oral and vision care
Rite Aid partnership
On September 9, 2013, Sebelius announced a partnership with Rite Aid to promote the Affordable Care Act throughout the country. The company promised to place insurance agents at 2,000 of the chain's 4,600 locations nationwide. Agents are not to be affiliated with the insurers offering new exchanges, but they do receive commission on each policy taken out. Rite Aid also receives a commission per policy. Sebelius commented on the agreement, stating, "We weren't ever going to make this program work from Washington. This has to be an on-the-ground effort. Americans trust their pharmacists. Often the pharmacist is the on-the-ground health provider people see the most and know the best, so having this critical role in a pharmacy makes wonderful sense."
Steve Lonegan, a New Jersey candidate for U.S. Senate, spoke out against the agreement, stating, "If Rite Aid and the other big companies are so enthusiastic and think this is such a great plan, let it stand on its own two feet."[11]
Organ transplant lists
In late May 2013, Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius was involved in debate over transplant lines for adult lungs. Policy requires that children under 12 in need of a lung transplant be placed at the bottom of the waiting list for adult lungs, while being placed at the top of the transplant list of childrens' lungs, though they are more rare. Ten year-old Sarah Murnaghan of Pennsylvania was in need of a lung transplant due to cystic fibrosis. She had been on the pediatric lung transplant list for 18 months. Sebelius ordered a review of the policy, but stated she "can't imagine anything worse than one individual getting to pick who lives and who dies."[12] On June 5, 2013, a federal judge ordered Sebelius to allow Murnaghan to be added to the adult lung transplant list, giving her a higher probability of receiving a transplant, after hearing oral arguments in a lawsuit filed by Murnaghan's parents. A change to the policy would allow about 20 children annually to be added to the adult waiting list consisting of 1,600 patients. Dr. Arthur Caplan of the New York University Langone Medical Center explained that the reasoning behind the policy is that children generally fair worse than adults after the procedure. Caplan worried that the precedent set by the court ruling could result in politicizing medical judgements.[13]
Healthcare.gov rollout
- See also: Healthcare.gov website rollout
Pat Roberts calls for Kathleen Sebelius' resignation.
The launch of the Healthcare.gov website featuring the federal healthcare exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act was met with error messages, faulty information being sent to insurers and problems with direct enrollment through insurance companies.[14][15][16] At an October 10, 2013, promotional event for the website, Sebelius stated, "Believe me, we had some early glitches, but it's getting better every day."[17] Sen. Pat Roberts called for Sebelius' resignation over the struggling website on October 11, stating, "Enough is enough. Today I am calling on Kathleen Sebelius to resign her post as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Secretary Sebelius has had three and a half years to launch Obamacare, and she has failed."[18] Sebelius testified before the House Energy and Commerce committee on October 30, 2013. During testimony, Sebelius stated: "In these early weeks, access to HealthCare.gov has been a miserably frustrating experience for way too many Americans, including many who have waited years, in some cases their entire lives, for the security of health insurance."[19][20] Officials have not released an estimated timeframe for fixes.[21]
On October 23, Rep. Jeanne Shaheen, (D-NH) called for an extension of the open enrollment period while the administration attempted to fix the problems, while Sen. Joe Manchin, (D-WV) was already drafting a bill to delay the individual mandate for a year.[22]
On April 10, 2014, Sebelius resigned as Secretary of HHS in part due to the troubled rollout of Healthcare.gov.[23]
Meetings with Barack Obama
The Government Accountability Institute found in December 2013, that between July 12, 2010, and November 30, 2013, President Obama's public schedule had no one-on-one meetings between Obama and Sebelius, who was in charge of implementing his "most important initiative." During that timeframe there were 277 meetings with other cabinet members. In response to the claim that the two had not met over that period of time, Press Secretary Jay Carney stated, "Cabinet secretaries don't regularly get entered into the visitor logs."[24] A Department spokesperson backed up Carney's statements, claiming, "She is frequently at the White House for meetings related to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, including dozens with the President in the last year alone. In fact, she met with the President just yesterday."[25]
The Hill released the findings of a Freedom of Information Act request on February 13, 2014, showing evidence of 18 meetings between October 2012 and October 2013. Seven of those meetings were specifically on the topic of Obamacare. When questioned by the news outlet on why President Obama was not aware of the website problems, an HHS Department spokesperson responded, "She is frequently at the White House for meetings on a wide range of topics, including the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. As we have also said, the Affordable Care Act is more than just a website, and consistent with other significant policy initiatives, there was coordination across the Administration on a broad range of policy and implementation topics."[26]
Contracting practices investigation
On December 11, 2013, Sebelius asked the inspector general of the Health and Human Services Department to open an investigation into the contracting practices involved in the Healthcare.gov website. She said the investigation's results would help to prevent future issues like happened with the website rollout. She also announced the creation of a chief risk officer position in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.[27]

I've been bashing my head against the wall trying to do what should be a simple regex - I need to match, eg '12po' where the '12' part could be one or two digits, then an optional non-alphanumeric like a :, ., -,_ etc, then the string 'po'.
The eventual use is going to be in C# but I'd like it to work in regular grep on the command line as well. I haven't got access to C#, which doesn't help.

Loved this area, lots of Hala foods, and ShaoMai restaurants. We went back to one of the Shao Mai restaurant twice in our 5 day trip.
It is good to walk along the street and enjoy the architecture. The white mosque, though not huge, is a different sight in this city. If you don't have time and have a car, drive along the street - it is pretty wide and you can get a feel of a different culture.
Just next to the great mosquee, you can go between the islam streets. It's easy to know as you as you enter due to the larges door and similar architecture of the building almost all painted in yellow. It's a shame that the street are a bit dirty. Many shoes shop and even the "plaza city shoes".

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
And now, the weather... sorry, theatre with Sylvia
Sylvia Kuzyk figures she owes theatre for how it transformed her from an introverted young woman into a Winnipeg television fixture for almost 38 years.
She gets her chance to give back Thursday at the inaugural So You Think You Can Act fundraiser when she performs in one of the nine scenes being staged by local luminaries in support of Sarasvti Productions.
"For me, theatre was my liberation," says Kuzyk, who signed off from the Winnipeg CTV newscast last September. "It sounds kind of dramatic but when I was in high school I was super shy and I would never have dreamt of speaking in front of an audience. I had no aspirations of going into television."
In the early '70s, the graduate of Red River Community College's nursing program attended a friend's workshop production at the University of Manitoba and became intrigued enough with the stage to enrol in a acting course with Actor's Showcase, the forerunner of Manitoba Theatre for Young People. She landed a small part as a saloon girl in a docudrama about the Canadian West being shot at CKY-TV where she heard about an opening for a weather girl.
"Since then, I've had a soft spot in my heart for theatre," she says, during an interview this week. "No, absolutely I wouldn't have had a TV career. It started me on my journey."
Kuzyk is being joined in the spotlight at the Gas Station Arts Centre tomorrow by former MP Judy Wasylycia-Leis, TSN's John Lu, Hot 103 DJ Ace Burpee, CITI FM's Howard Mandshsein, Free Press movie reviewer Randall King, performer Al Simmons, Shaw TV personality Tracy Koga and Laurie Mustard.
The trio of Winnipeg Studio Theatre's artistic director Kayla Gordon, Prairie Theatre Exchange artistic director Robert Metcalfe and Lee White of The Crumbs will be the on-stage judges dispensing their assessments of the performances. The audience will ultimately determine the winner of a large, garish trophy topped by as Oscar-like figure.
"Our judges are going to be a little ridiculous," says Sarasvti artistic director Hope McIntyre, who hopes to raise $5,000 for an upcoming production. "They're arguing over who's going to be Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell. Our three will be spoofing the judges we all know and love. Bob doesn't want to be the mean one, but he's so good at it."
All the scenes being staged the day after Valentine's Day deal with love gone wrong. They are lifted from plays like I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change and Mom, Dad, I'm Living with a White Girl.
Kuzyk will be performing (script in hand like all the actors) a scene from Ferenc Molnar's A Matter of Husbands, in which she plays a haughty, famous actress who is being confronted by an earnest young woman who thinks her spouse is being stolen from her. She considered a couple of scenes from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? but thought the material too heavy for a fun evening.
It's a long time since she last acted in a serious production. Her fringe festival debut was in 1989 as the title character in the comedy, The Prettiest Girl in Lafayette County, and returned the following year in The Time and the Place.
"I'd do it again," says Kuzyk, who is enjoying running her own communications business. "I don't claim to be a good actress but I'm passionate about theatre."
That ardour does not extend to reality TV shows like American Idol or So You Think You Can Dance."
"I don't like those shows," she says. "I don't watch any of them. I can't stand them."
Showtime is 8 p.m. Thursday. Tickets are $25 and can be reserved by calling 586-2236.

Michael Nathanson's drama Talk will be presented in Israel in April.
The Winnipeg Jewish Theatre production is the only international participant in the Stage One English Theatre Festival to be presented in Jerusalem April 8-10. Talk, about two longtime friends who find themselves on opposite sides of the Middle East conflict, debuted at WJT in 2007 and was performed at the National Arts Centre last year as part of Prairie Scene 2011.
"I've never been to Israel," says Nathanson, WJT artistic producer. "The fact that this play is taking me there makes the experience all the more overwhelming."

Hi, im a little confuse with sparging, lets say I want to do 5 gallon batch of an american ale with an OG of 1.052. How much water I add up initially for mash?? How much water I add up in sparging? Whats going to be the OG before I add up sparge water? And After?
It kind of depends on your system and preference. I usually mash in at a ratio of 1.3 quarts per pound of grain. Of course the temperature of the initial strike water is dependant on your grain temp, amount, your target mash temp, and how much heat your mash tun sucks out of the water. As far as sparging...are you fly sparging or batch sparging? If batch calculate the difference between your target volume you planned on going into the fermenter and what you collected in the 1st runnings. The difference will be how much water you need. Your first runnings will have a higher gravity than the runnings you collect after sparging as the concentration of sugars will be reduced.

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this: You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt
Not Commit Adultery," and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment.
Figure about 1.25 gallons per pound of grain for the mash, and about 1/2 gallon per pound for the sparge.
There is some great information here and here.
If you are fly sparge, take a reading from the first runnings from the mash tun. It will be very high, perhaps somewhere between 1.080 and 1.100. Take another reading from the last runnings -- that should be quite low, not more than 1.010. The closer you can get that to 1.000 the better. Remember, when you fly sparge, slower is better. For a 5 gallon batch, sparging should take a minimum of 45 minutes.

Good luck, and enjoy!

Can I not sparge? I mean if I want to make 5 gallons of beer, I can do as if I was going to do 6.5 gallons and when it evaporates i have 5 gallons with my desired gravity? And thats it?
Jvend, Yes you can do that, but you will take a hit in efficiency. What I am doing is splitting my total volume in half. I will mash with 1.25 qts of water per lb of grain (this beer has 24 lbs of grain for a 10 gallon batch). I will mash with 30 qts of water, and then sparge with 30.25 qts. Because of the water that the grain will absorb in the mashtun, and the wort that the hops will absorb in the boil kettle, I will end up with (I hope) 10 gallons in the carboys.
I am batch sparging.
I use a basic spreadsheet to do all my calculations. I enter the total grain amount and assume that it will absorb .1 gallons of water per lb. I then enter the mash ratio in qts per lb and the total preboil volume (batch volume +1.5 gallons works for me) and it kicks out the sparge volume. I can then adjust the mash ratio until my mash volume equals my sparge volume, if that is what I want to do.
Some folks use brewing software. I made my own simple spreadsheet.

Antartica-- WOW!
Our first try to reach Antartica was February 2011, but gale force winds in Paradise aborted the trip after a foggy morning at Elephant Island,. Decided to try again and we lucked out! The comments about embarkation in Buenos Aires by others was right on, A miserable experience and we were unable to get assistance from local meet and greet contact or home office which seemed critical to us as our luggage arrived 3 days late and an hour before official check in was scheduled to be completed-- a wee bit stressful!!
This trip, Celebrity changed its itinerary with only one stop between BA and Antartica. The seas around Cape Horn and through the Drake passage were amazingly calm-- smoother seas than many transatlantics or Caribbean cruises. Arriving in Antarctic region, the day started out foggy but by mid-morning was clearing and we had a sunny day in Paradise Bay --just amazing as was the leopard seal who floated on an iceberg next to our ship for at least an hour. Words More are really inadequate to describe how beautiful it was. That evening we cruised up the Gerlache Straits during early evening and had a lovely sunset to end the day,
The next morning we passed through several cloud banks but by the time we got to Elephant Island the sun was out and the sky was clear.. Another amazing day with stunning visuals. Whales were spouting again, seals swimming near the ship and by the time we left, penguins were feeding and jumping near the ship,.
So glad we took a second chance on this itinerary. If you want to see Antartica at a reasonable price, this is the way to go, Just remember,storms and fog is not uncommon so be prepared to try more than once! wish I knew how to add a few photos!! Less

Sigmund Fudge
Bassist Ryan McGillicuddy, keyboardist Joe Bagg, guitarist Jamie Rosenn, and drummer Jason Harnell were among those who threatened to shift the balance of power in the L.A. jazz community, from established veterans to a new generation of upstarts. Now the young guns are new veterans fending off an insurgency of innovation by recent college graduates. McGillicuddy's solution was to flee to Seoul, where he became one of the best bassists in South Korea. He returns to L.A. for a brief reunion with his friends. Their band, Sigmund Fudge, was known for exploring sonorities not commonly found in jazz. In 2014, that's called jazz. In a brave new world of exploding sonic trends, these erstwhile iconoclasts who once stood at the frontier of a turning point continue to stay ahead of the curve.

Grid penalty for Hamilton following gearbox change
Apr 20, 2013, 6:27 AM EDT
Lewis Hamilton has received a five place grid penalty after changing his gearbox following the final practice session for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver suffered a car failure at the end of the session which caused damage to his suspension and left-rear of the car, which has forced the team into making the gearbox change.
Mercedes confirmed to Autosport that the change was due to this damage, and Hamilton joins Mark Webber and Esteban Gutierrez who have penalties from last weekend's Chinese Grand Prix.
Webber incurred a three place penalty for his incident with Jean-Eric Vergne, whilst Gutierrez will drop five places on the grid after causing an accident involving Force India's Adrian Sutil.
Hamilton will be aiming to qualify as high as possible to minimize the impact of this penalty, and he could still start in the top ten after running well in final practice.

Not surprising after the bumpy Shanghai circuit and how small and lightweight the 7 speed w/ reverse the F1 transmissions are. It's frankly amazing that they last as long as they do, even if they don't like bumps.
What surprises me is that there weren't more failures last week – as a result of last week. I wish we knew which teams changed gear between rounds.

My mistake, I thought the gearbox had actually failed. Turns out it was replaced preemptively.
