Skin conditioning compositions of the oil-in-water emulsion type containing 2-pyrrolidinone, wherein a substantial amount of the 2-pyrrolidinone is present in the oil phase.
1. A skin conditioning composition in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion comprising:
A from about 1% to about 25% by weight of an oil component which is physiologically acceptable for placement on the skin, and in which 2-pyrrolidinone is freely miscible when said oil component is in the liquid state; said oil component being selected from the group consisting of lanolin fatty acids, isopropyl esters of lanolin fatty acids, hydroxylated lanolin, straight chain fatty acids containing from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms, straight chain fatty alcohols containing about 10 to 20 carbon atoms and mixtures thereof;
B. from about 1% to about 20% by weight 2-pyrrolidinone;
C. from about 50% to about 95% by weight water; and
D. an amount of oil-miscible emulsifier sufficient to achieve an emulsion between components A, B and C; said composition being prepared by a process comprising the steps of
1. liquifying the oil component by bringing it to a temperature at which it is liquid;
2. mixing the emulsifier and from about 10% to about 95% by weight of the total amount of 2-pyrrolidinone to be used in said composition into said oil component;
3. dissolving the balance of the 2-pyrrolidinone into the water; and
4. mixing the water solution of step (3) into the mixture of step (2) to
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the amount of 2-pyrrolidinone is from about 5% to about 15%, and from about 25% to about 75% of the total amount
3. The composition of claim 2 wherein the emulsifier is a nonionic
4. The composition of claim 3 wherein the emulsifier is present at a level of from about 0.05% to about 10% of the composition and is selected from the group consisting of fatty acid monoglycerides wherein the fatty acid group contains from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms, alkoxylated
5. The composition of claim 4 wherein the oil component is present at a level of from about 5% to about 15% of said composition and is selected from the group consisting of lanolin fatty acids, isopropyl esters of lanolin fatty acids, hydroxylated lanolin, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, stearic acid and mixtures thereof and the emulsifier is a mixture of
6. The compositon of claim 5 wherein after step (2) the water is mixed into the mixture of step (2) to form an emulsion and then the balance of the 2-pyrrolidinone is mixed into said emulsion.
The present invention provides compositions which improve the condition of skin through moisturization and flexibilization. The application of oils or of oil-in-water emulsions to the skin so as to form a barrier which reduces the escape of moisture from the skin is known to the art. Also, the incorporation into said oils or emulsions of humectant-type materials to exert a positive moisturizing effect on the skin is known. Increased moisture content is believed to be either directly or indirectly responsible for increasing the flexibility of the skin.
In accordance with the present invention the chemical, 2-pyrrolidinone, which heretofore has not been successfully used for this purpose, is used as a skin moisturizing and flexibilizing ingredient in oil-in-water emulsions. According to the present invention it has been found that in order for 2-pyrrolidinone to be effective it must be formulated into such emulsions with a proper view to the selection of the oil components, the emulsifiers, and the method by which the emulsion is prepared so as to ensure that a substantial portion of the 2-pyrrolidinone remains in the oil phase of the emulsion.
The oil component of the present compositions can be any oil or mixture of oils, and/or wax or mixture of waxes which is physiologically acceptable for placement on the skin, and in which 2-pyrrolidinone is freely miscible when the oil component is in the liquid state. The term "freely miscible" as used herein shall mean that the 2-pyrrolidinone shall be completely miscible when mixed into the oil component to the extent of at least 50% by weight of 2-pyrrolidinone, based upon the total weight of oil component and 2-pyrrolidinone, at the minimum temperature at which the oil component exists as a liquid. In many instances the oil component will be solid at room temperature.
Examples of suitable oils and waxes which can make up the oil component of the compositions of the present invention are lanolin fatty acids (e.g., Amerlate WFA), isopropyl esters of lanolin fatty acids (e.g., Amerlate W) and hydroxylated lanolin (e.g., OH Lan). The foregoing three materials are available from Amerchol Co., a unit of CPC International. Other suitable oils and waxes include the aliphatic straight chain fatty acids and alcohols of from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms, e.g., lauric acid, stearic acid, coconut fatty alcohol, cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol. Mixtures of the various oils and waxes can be used up to oil component of the compositions.
The oil component should comprise from about 1% to about 25% (preferably from about 5% to about 15%) by weight of the total composition.
An oil-miscible emulsifier (or mixture of emulsifiers) is an essential component of the present compositions and is used in an amount sufficient to form an oil-in-water emulsion between 2-pyrrolidinone, the water and the oil component of the present compositions. Generally the emulsifier comprises from about 0.05% to about 10% by weight of the composition. Generally the emulsifier should be miscible in the oil component to the extent of at least 25% by weight of the total weight of said emulsifier and said oil component at the minimum temperature at which said oil component is a liquid. Many oil-miscible emulsifiers are known to the art and are useful in the present invention. Generally, such emulsifiers are nonionic surfactants. One suitable type of nonionic surfactant is the fatty acid monoglyceride, wherein the fatty acid group contains from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms, e.g., glycerol monostearate. Other suitable nonionic surfactants are the alkoxylated nonionics.
The alkoxylated nonionic surfactants may be broadly defined as compounds produced by the condensation of alkylene oxide groups (hydrophilic in nature) with an organic hydrophobic compound which may be aliphatic or alkyl-aromatic in nature. The length of the hydrophilic polyoxyalkylene radical which is condensed with any particular hydrophobic group can be readily adjusted to yield an oil-miscible compound having the desired degree of balance between hydrophilic and hydrophobic elements.
For example, a well-known class of nonionic synthetic detergents is made available on the market under the trade name of "Pluronic." These compounds are formed by condensing ethylene oxide with a relatively hydrophobic base formed by the condensation of propylene oxide with propylene glycol. The hydrophobic portion of the molecule which, of course, exhibits water insolubility, has a molecular weight of from about 1,500 to about 1,800. The condensation of ethylene oxide to this hydrophobic portion in an amount such that the polyoxyethylene content of the total condensation product is from about 5% to about 20% by weight produces oilmiscible emulsifiers which are highly suitable for use in the present compositions.
Other suitable alkoxylated nonionic surfactants include:
1. The polyethylene oxide condensates of alkyl phenols, e.g., the condensation products of alkyl phenols having an alkyl group containing from about 6 to 12 carbon atoms in either a straight chain or branched chain configuration, with ethylene oxide, the said ethylene oxide being present in amounts equal to 2 to 20 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alkyl phenyl. Th alkyl substituent in such compounds may be derived from polymerized propylene, diisobutylene, octane, or nonane, for example.
2. The condensation product of aliphatic alcohols having from 12 to 18 carbon atoms; in either straight chain or branched chain configuration, with from about 2 to about 20 moles of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide per mole of alcohol, e.g., a stearyl alcohol propylene oxide condensate having from 15 moles of propylene oxide per mole of stearyl alcohol.
2-pyrrolidinone, which is the active moisturizing ingredient of the present compositions, is a standard item of commerce, being used widely as a plasticizer and solvent. When formulated into oil-in-water emulsions according to the present invention, this compound exerts a substantial moisturizing and flexibilizing effect on the skin when the emulsion is spread upon the skin in the normal manner of skin lotion usage. The 2-pyrrolidinone is present in the compositions of the invention at levels of from about 1% to about 20% (preferably from about 5% to about 15%) by weight and is, as will be discussed hereinafter, incorporated into said compositions in a manner so as to ensure that there is a proper distribution of 2-pyrrolidinone between the oil phase and the water phase.
Water is an essential component of the compositions of the invention and is present at a level of from about 50% to about 95% by weight of the total composition.
In order to achieve the substantial skin moisturizing and flexibilizing benefits of 2-pyrrolidinone, the compositions of the present invention must be formulated according to the procedure which will ensure that a proper distribution of the 2-pyrrolidinone will be obtained between the water phase and oil phase of the emulsion. The procedure is as follows:
1. Liquify the oil component by bringing it to a temperature at which it is liquid.
2. Mix the emulsifier and from about 10% to about 95% (preferably from about 25% to about 75%) by weight of the total amount of 2-pyrrolidinone to be used in the composition into the liquified oil component.
3. Dissolve the balance of the 2-pyrrolidinone in the water component.
4. Mix the water component and oil component to form an emulsion.
Optionally, Step 3 in the above process can be performed after Step 4, i.e., the balance of the 2-pyrrolidinone can be added to the emulsion instead of adding it to the water component prior to forming the emulsion. The order in which the emulsifier and 2-pyrrolidinone are added to the oil component is not critical. Preferably, the water component is brought to the temperature of the liquified oil component before the two are mixed in Step 4 so that the two components will be at substantially the same temperature when they are mixed with each other.
In addition to the essential ingredients described above, the compositions of the present invention can contain additional materials which are commonly used in skin care preparations, e.g., viscosity modifiers such as the Carbopols (cross-linked carboxy polymethylene polymers), sorbitol and propylene glycol, preservatives such as the C1 to C4 alkyl esters of para hydroxy benzoic acid, opacifiers such as titanium dioxide, emulsion stabilizers such as triethanolamine, and dyes and fragrances. Although the points at which these optional ingredients are added to the compositions in the making process are not critical, it is preferable that such materials be incorporated into the composition by mixing them into the respective component (i.e., oil component or water component) in which they are soluble or readily dispersible, prior to forming the emulsion. If insoluble particulate materials such as opacifiers (e.g., TiO2) are to be used in the compositons, it is preferable that they be added to the finished emulsion.
The present invention will be illustrated by the following example.
The following composition is prepared:
______________________________________The following composition is prepared:1. Amerlate WFAa 0.752. Amerlate Wb 1.003. Stearic acid 1.004. Cetyl alcohol 1.755. Stearyl alcohol 0.756. OH Lanc 0.757. Arlacel 165d 0.758. Arlamol Ee 1.259. 2-pyrrolidinone 8.0010. Distilled water 74.5511. Carbopol 934f (15% solution 3.25 in H2 O)12. Propylene glycol 2.5013. Sorbitol (70% solution in H2 O) 2.5014. Triethanolamine 0.6515. Methyl Parabeng 0.2016. Propyl Parabenh 0.1017. Titanium dioxide 0.2018. Perfume 0.05 100.00______________________________________ a Mixture of lanolin fatty acids (Amerchol Unit of CPC International b Isopropyl ester of lanolin fatty acids (Amerchol Unit of CPC International) c Hydroxylated lanolin (Amerchol Unit of CPC International) d Glycerol monostearate (ICI United States, Inc.) e Polyoxypropylene (15) stearyl ether (ICI United States, Inc.) f Polymer of acrylic acid cross-linked with polyalkyl ether of sucrose, M.W. 1,000,000 (B. F. Goodrich Chemical Co.) g Methyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (Washine Chemical Corp.) h Propyl ester of hydroxybenzoic acid (Washine Chemical Corp.)
Ingredients 1-8 are mixed in a tank and heated to 82� C. and one-half of the 2-pyrrolidinone (i.e., 4%) is added. Mixing is continued for 30 minutes at 82� C. The mixture is homogeneous and liquid. Ingredients 10-14 are mixed in a second tank for 30 minutes at 82� C. The mixture is homogeneous and liquid. The contents of the two tanks are then mixed together. After about 5 minutes of mixing, ingredients 15-17 are added to the mixture and agitation is continued for 30 minutes. The mixture is then cooled to about 54� C. and the remaining one-half of the 2-pyrrolidinone and the perfume are added and mixing is continued for an additional 10 minutes. The final mixture is then cooled to room temperature and is ready for use. The mixture is a thick creamy liquid oil-in-water emulsion.
This composition when applied to the skin produces a moisturization and flexibilization of the skin which is superior to that which is obtained with similar compositions wherein substantially all of the 2-pyrrolidinone is introduced into the composition by addition to the water phase before forming the emulsion or by addition to the total emulsion after it is formed.
In the foregoing example, a composition having substantially similar characteristics and skin conditioning effectiveness is obtained when the balance (i.e., the second 4%) of 2-pyrrolidinone is added to the water component before the water component is added to the oil component.

In a setback to the Reddy brothers of Karnataka, the Supreme Court on Monday stayed all further mining activities by the Obulapuram Mining Company (OMC) in Andhra Pradesh.
A Bench consisting of Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justice Deepak Verma appointed an expert committee headed by the Survey of India to review the mining areas and ascertain allegations of large-scale encroachment on reserve forest areas by the powerful mining lobby.
The court granted the committee two weeks to file its report, and said no further mining would be permitted at the site until further orders.
The Bench issued notice to Karnataka Ministers G. Janardhan Reddy and G. Karunakara Reddy on a special leave petition filed by the Andhra Pradesh government challenging the February 26 High Court order quashing the cancellation orders passed by the State.
"Findings ignored"
Attorney-General G.E. Vahanvati said the High Court ignored the findings of the Supreme Court-appointed Central Empowered Committee (CEC) and the high-level inquiry committee of the State government.
Both committees, after independent inquiries, concluded that the Reddy brothers had encroached on vast hectares of reserve forest areas in Andhra Pradesh.
The High Court decided the matter as the case was sent back to it by the Supreme Court on January 14 with a direction to dispose it of within a month after both the OMC and the Andhra Pradesh government had given their consent.
The Supreme Court felt that the High Court, which earlier gave a conditional order for the OMC to carry on mining, would be in the best position to decide the vexed issue of boundary dispute involved in the matter, and allowed all parties to make their case before the High Court.
"Pillars removed"
The Andhra Pradesh government alleged that the OMC extended the area of mining by removing pillars which formed the boundary of the area for which a lease was granted.
The government issued an order prohibiting mining after the CEC had recommended stoppage of mining by the company in the area. The CEC was constituted by the Supreme Court on a writ petition by Tapal Ganesh of Bellary against the OMC over alleged illegal mining in violation of the Forest Conservation Act.

your opinions needed for final kitchen layout
Thanks to many feedbacks from you , I revised my kitchen design, i moved the dishwasher from the right of the sink to a different wall. This change enabled us to keep get more storeage for the prepzone and separate the prep zone from the cleaning up zone. Please, help me check for any design issues/ draw back before I order cabinets. Thanks!
I wouldn't do a lazy susan on the peninsula. I would save the money and use regular cabinets and then make the corner accessible from the other side.
Hi messyguy,
I posted my suggestions before, and I'll run them by you again. I think you have too many lazy susans. Have you gone through the whole kitchen, figuring out what is going to go where? I think it would be a valuable exercise for you. Lazy susans can make good use of space, but they aren't as easy to access as drawers.
I would block off the one in the upper left corner completely - never see that space again. Then you can have two 24" drawer stacks on the sink wall.
Next, I would eliminate the one on the peninsula. That corner can be accessed with drawers or doors from the dining room side. Your 18" drawer stack on the peninsula becomes 30".
Now, move the range to the middle of the opening, and put 18" drawer stacks on each side of the range. You add symmetry to the range wall, as well as make better use of the corners. Sometimes not using a corner at all makes such an improvement to the space next to it that you come out ahead by not trying to use it.
Ditto on the Lazy Susans. They're expensive and an inefficient use of space. I see that in this current configuration, you have little space but to keep two of them. I'd seriously consider a one-wall plus a big island kitchen rather than all these Lazy Susans.
Also, I'd consider moving the window-wall's 36" cabinet to the other side of the sink. This'd get the sink out of the corner and make the garbage a little more convenient to the prep/stove area.
Oh, and the dishwasher. I don't think you'll be happy with it catty-cornered from the sink.
Thanks everyone for today ' responses. I need to rethink about the corners! My wife saw the lazy susan at homedepot and she really liked it compared to what we currently have in our kitchen, so she decided all corners should be lazy susan. I am so confused, and undecided
Corner solutions (in order, IMO, of usefulness):
27" or 30" cabinet turned 90 degrees so it faces outside the peninsula - can only be done if the back of the peninsula is accessible.
Corner drawers (depending on what you want to store there, tie, IMO, with corner susans)
Corner susan
Upper cabinet - Easy Reach
Blind corner cabinet (Tie with Easy Reach for base cabs)
Base cabinet - Easy Reach (Tie with Blind Corner cab for base cabs)
"Deadening" the corner...what people don't mention is all the filler you need to make this option work...and it has to be empty filler, not filler pullouts, etc (unless you have inset cabs and recessed handles to open drawers & doors)
Corner drawers can be useful if designed properly.
"Deadening out a corner", IMO, is a waste of what can be valuable storage space.
Corner susans offer several advantages:
Excellent storage for pots & pans
Excellent storage for small appliances
Plus - anything you store in a corner susan is always right in front of you when you need it - just rotate the susan and the item is right in front. If you get one that has side & back walls that follow the contour of the susan shelves, nothing can fall off.
The 9" to 12" on each side of the corner provide the "filler" space needed to allow drawers & doors to open proplerly - and those inches are not empty "filler", they're part of the corner cab storage
Blind corner cabs with a pullout shelf, OTOH, are an issue if something falls off - if it's inside the cab, you have to crawl inside the cab to retrieve the item - in the meantime, the pullout will not close until you've cleared the obstruction.
I'm not convinced that corners are all that "valuable". Lazy susans (or corner drawers) provide easiest access, but take up an awful lot of space. That's why I asked the OP what is going to be put in there. This seems like a good sized kitchen - I don't think messyguy needs to scrounge for every last inch.
What I see is a little 12" drawer next to the range. Where does one put potholders and cooking utensils? Pots and pans and their lids? spices? If the lazy susans provide adequate storage for all the things one wants to have near the stove, that's great - but I would rather use drawers.
I have a similar layout, but I only have 1 lazy susan (since it's Ikea, it swings all the way out).
left corner (kitchen aid): I chose to leave it as a dead/unaccessible corner, so that I can get my great 24" 3-drawers for my dishes.
right corner = while a great lazy/super susan/whatever, it is not used much (mainly because I have so much space right now). DH even made a little hook onto the swing out thing inside so I only need to open the door for the appliance to swing out. :)
peninsula corner: faces out, for stuff like waffle maker and crockpot (and for my kids to stuff themselves in it when playing hide/seek. :)
one of my favorite part of my kitchen is labeled 26" KA mixer. it looks like modernmom35's beverage station, but mine is 3 layers.
top = 2 normal doors
middle = like modernmom's: my KA mixer, etc
bottom door pull ou like a drawer = toaster, Vitamix, and electric can opener.
I LOOOVVVVEEEE It.
pull it out, blend my green pina colada, shut drawer, and nothing on the counter.
I agree about too many lazy susans. For the one next to the stove, maybe replace that with a cabinet facing towards the dining room. Use that for table linens, napkins, board games, etc. Between the back of that cabinet and the stove you can put one of those pullout spice racks.
You may have plumbing challenges to put the dishwasher that far from the sink.
Thankyou everyone for your time. My wife and I truly appreciate your help.
- From your feedback, we are thinking of replacing the Lazy susan corner on the pennisula with the a 3- drawers bank ( 30") facing dinning room. Would the top drawer still be accessible if there is 12" of counter top overhang above it ????.
-Plumbing issue with new DW location: we will double check with the plumber !
Thanks everyone!!!!

The annual Rising Stars awards, which honor up-and-coming information technology professionals who work for government agencies and contractors, were recently announced, causing craziness in the cubicles, pandemonium in the parking lots, and euphoria by the espresso makers. But now that the confetti has been swept up and the rented tuxes returned, all thoughts turn to next year's awards. Could a future Rising Star be among us? Awaiting change from our vending machines? Surfing the web on our Wifi? Swiping their smart cards on our security systems?
The following list offers a few clues that one of next year's Rising Stars may, indeed, be in your midst:
10) His suit coat matches his cargo shorts.
9) He asks what the high score is in systems integration
8) She delivers all white papers in 140 characters or less.
7) He sleeps in the office to ensure that the coffee maker goes on at the correct time.
6) When running a meeting, she presents all attendees with an iPod "meeting mix" playlist.
5) She creates a Facebook group called "People who want to be in a Facebook group with a Rising Star."
4) He single-handedly ports the agency financial management system to a Wii format.
3) He expresses the desire that the first Bush administration had "taken out PowerPoint when they had the chance."
2) She shares her fantasy of becoming Secretary of State in a Jon Stewart administration.
1) She wants to know why they can't text the award to her.

Tier 11 or Tier 111??
I couldn't find info online so hope you can help me out.
I currently own a 6yr. plus GE Harmony w/o heater washer. I wonder what Tier it comes in energy wise?
GE has just come out with a new GE Harmony version to my surprise, but I'm assuming it's a Tier 111 unit.
Not to sound ignorant, but does that mean it uses much less water than my model?
That's one thing I love about my machine, it uses ample water, and water temps are awesome even w/out heater.
I used a friends new Samsung Steam washer and found the water usage was very minimal. I used the heavy duty cycle and the load still had smells after the wash.
Question, do all of the new HE TL washers appear to be in the Tier 111 category?
Is the new LG He TL a Tier 111 unit as well?
Thanks to anyone able to clear this up for me!
Tier III top load washers will use very little water, that is to get them to the III level. A quick google of Top Load Washer Tier II shows a bunch of them.

Showtime Breaks Network Record With 'Dexter,' 'Homeland' Continues to Grow
With 2.6 million viewers at 9 p.m., the Michael C. Hall drama outdraws its previous record set in 2009.
As their finales approach, Dexter and Homeland continue to grow on Showtime.
And after last week's mild upset of Homeland outdrawing Dexter for the first time ever, the veteran serial killer drama rallied with its most-watched episode ever. And that 2.6 million viewer haul doubles as Showtime's biggest audience ever for an original series.

Dexter, averaging a robust 6.1 million gross weekly viewers across platforms during this season, topped its previous (and long held) record of 2.57 million viewers brought in during its season four finale.
As for Homeland, the series grew to 2.36 million viewers in its inaugural 10 p.m. broadcast, outdrawing the previous week's record of 2.2 million viewers by eight percent. Homeland is averaging 5.8 million gross weekly viewers across platforms, a 35 percent improvement from its freshman season.
With originals and encores, the night brought in 5.68 million viewers for Showtime. Both series end their runs this coming Sunday, Dec. 16.

Diller Scofidio + Renfro, who are collaborating with Rockwell Group on New York's 'Culture Shed', have unveiled the design for this new 170,000 sq ft non-profit cultural centre project in the Hudson Yards area of Manhattan.
The centre is designed to help anchor Manhattan's far West Side by providing large-scale, flexible space for a dynamic range of creative industry activities, including visual art, design, dance, theatre, music and media.
The facility will comprise a five-storey fixed building with large, column-free floors for exhibitions and performances and a shell that deploys to double the interior space.
As Culture Shed expands and contracts, it will work in many configurations, welcoming multiple events simultaneously, and serving diverse artists and audiences from across New York City and beyond.
The project is currently going through the public review process, which is due to be completed by the end of September, with city officials hoping the project will be open by the end of 2017.

Brandon Beachy's risky approach
He's going deeper into games but few swing-and-misses will be an issue
Quick: Name the starting pitcher with the lowest ERA in the National League this year. Roy Halladay? Cliff Lee? Stephen Strasburg? Clayton Kershaw? Nope. It's Atlanta Braves starter Brandon Beachy.
Entering Sunday, Beachy leads all NL qualified starters with a 1.77 ERA. Even if you adjust for Beachy's home park and league -- an adjusted ERA of 100 is average and, like normal ERA, lower scores are better -- Beachy leads all NL starting pitchers with an ERA- of 47. He's pitched so well that Jayson Stark named him the NL's quarter pole Cy Young.
While Beachy was pretty good last year in his first full season as a starter, his ERA was essentially league average. In 25 starts in 2011 as a 24-year old, Beachy posted a record of 7-3 with a 3.68 ERA, 10.7 strikeouts per nine innings, and fewer than three walks per nine innings. This was certainly a strong debut and suggested that the young right-hander had significant upside. So it's possible that we are simply seeing Beachy take that next step in his evolution as a top-of-the-rotation starter.
The question for Beachy, as with many players putting up stellar numbers entering June, is whether or not this performance is truly sustainable over the long term. It isn't just Beachy's results that are different than last year's, but also his approach. And generally speaking, pitchers who make the kind of adjustment Beachy has (whether on purpose or due to aging) don't tend to have the greatest success during the course of a season. So what's Beachy doing differently?

"As a believer, I found this book hard to believe."
Yes. After reading, several books about NDE's and finding their stories sincere and consistent with other NDE's, I thought this book would be right up my ally. But this was not the case, while reading this book my B.S. detector was going off like crazy.
I am not calling him a liar because maybe (a big maybe from other books and accounts I have read) this is what the last few moments are like on earth. But the experiences he "recounts" are very inconsistent with hundreds of other NDE's I have heard (i.e. angels have feathers, and physical feathers have been left behind by some angels)
The stories seemed incredibly embellished from a Catholic perspective.
I am a Christian and a believer that there is life after this life, so I thought this book would be interesting, but I was dissappointed and could not finish because I thought the accounts were far fetched, and embellished.

Michael Bourne's Favorite Interviews
March 1, 2014. Posted by Brandy Wood.Add new comment | Filed under: afternoon jazz, Antonio Carolos Jobim, Barbara Carroll, Blues Hour, Claire Martin, Cleo Laine, Dave Brubeck, Derek Trucks, Diana Krall, FIIJM, Gatemouth Brown, Ian Shaw, Interviews, Jazz Alive, Joe Williams, John Dankworth, Little Milton, Manhattan Transfer, Marcia Ball, michael bourne, Monreal Jazz Fest, new york voices, Paquito D'Rivera, Robert Klein, singers unlimited, Susan Tedeschi, Tedeschi Trucks, Tony Bennett, WBGO turns 35
What are Michael Bourne's favorite interviews from his three decades at WBGO? We asked the host of Afternoon Jazz, Blues Hour and Singers Unlimited to share these with us, as we prepare to celebrate our 35th anniversary. Enjoy!
I've interviewed countless musicians and others through my going-on-30 years as a jock on WBGO. Maybe a thousand? Maybe two thousand -- if you count the 25-a-day I've sometimes talked with at conferences or festivals we've broadcast from. I've loved especially broadcasting from my favorite festival, Festival International de Jazz de Montreal.
This year being FIJM's 35th and WBGO's 35th, you can expect a more exciting broadcast than ever as the world's best jazz festival (sez me) and the world's best jazz radio station (sez everybody) celebrates together.
Who've been my favorite interviews for WBGO? So many of my favorite artists:
Tony Bennett at WBGO, parts 1 and 2
Tony in Montreal
Dave Brubeck, at his home in Connecticut
Paquito D'Rivera
Cleo Laine & John Dankworth
Claire Martin
Diana Krall
Ian Shaw
Manhattan Transfer
Barbara Carroll
Robert Klein
And from the Blues Hour:
Marcia Ball
Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi
Other greats come to mind from before our era of on-demand everything - Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Williams, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gatemouth Brown, Little Milton...
Several generations of jazz artists have come along in the years since WBGO came on the air.
We're still (and always will be) playing Ella and Sarah, Dizzy and Miles, but in this last 35 years along came some new one-name-only singers and players: Kurt and Cassandra, Wynton and Branford -- and they're now an older generation.
Our annual JAM-fest (Jazz Appreciation Month Festival) in April is a spotlight on the newest generation, some of the best and brightest newcomers from schools in NJ, NY, and down from Boston.
When you hear them playing live on WBGO, you're hearing the future of jazz… and of the station.
(like great interviews) FOR 35 YEARS! pledge now

"Each session was a different experience," says Jackson. " I like these..."

February 24, 2014. Posted by Alex Ariff.Add new comment | Filed under: Jazz Alive, matt wilson, Playdate
Playdate is WBGO's new series of great moments from our archive of live recordings. Tune in Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. to hear Show #4 with Michael Brecker, Max Roach, Kurt Elling, Shelly Manne, the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band, Stéphane Grappelli and Bucky Pizzarelli, James Newton, and more!

We've already posted on Wayne Shorter, The Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, Ruth Brown, Sun Ra, Dorthaan Kirk, Chick Corea with Gary Burton, The "Salsa Meets Jazz" Series, Joe Henderson, and The Carnegie Hall Jazz Band.
This week's first web extra, available now at WBGO.ORG/PLAYDATE, comes from a historic performance inside the walls of WBGO.
In late 1980s, drummer Max Roach fused his working quartet with a string quartet to create a Double Quartet. Hear this group perform Rahsaan Roland Kirk's "Bright Moments" live in the WBGO studios by clicking here.
Portrait of Max Roach, Three Deuces, New York, N.Y., ca. Oct. 1947. Photo by William P. Gottlieb.
Roach was one of the most prolific and influential figures in modern jazz. Best known for his work with saxophonist Charlie Parker, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, and other bebop pioneers, his use of thematic improvisation forever changed how jazz drummers approach their instrument.
This week's Playdate, Show #4, begins with a solo drum song by Roach. Our host, drummer Matt Wilson, draws inspirations from Max Roach every-time he sits down at his kit - Wilson has also named one of his sons Max after this great jazz icon.

A demolition permit issued by the city signals an end to the building on 104th Street and North Avenue that had housed Aurora Health Care medical offices at the entrance to the Mayfair property.
A fence has been put up around the entire property, and the building looks empty.
"Aurora was a tenant in that building and left when the lease ended," said Myrle Croasdale, a spokesperson for the health care company. "All the services in that building were moved into existing sites nearby."
A demolition company, Veit, took out the permit, said Karl Schreiber, city development coordinator. He didn't give an anticipated date for the building to be razed.
As for future use of the property that has a land value of $6.3 million, "there is not yet an application for redevelopment of the site," Schreiber said.

UVA Vascular Surgery Residency Curriculum
The primary goals of the Vascular
Surgery residency at the University of Virginia are to educate and
train the next generation of vascular surgeons. In order to achieve the
educational goals, the primary focus is on operative and endovascular
experiences for the resident and the early and increased autonomy for
them as they gain experience in the pre-operative, peri-operative, and
post-operative care and management of vascular surgical patients. As
part of the program there are several didactic conferences.
8am - 4pm Dr. Kern clinic
OR Time- Dr. Cherry
IR Time – Dr. Upchurch
8am - 4pm Vein Clinic - Dr. Tracci
8am -12 Dr. Kron clinic
12:30- 4pm Dr. Upchurch clinic

6:30am Vascular Surgery conference
IR Time-Dr Upchurch
OR Time Dr. Cherry
3pm - 4pm Dr. Tracci clinic
7am - 9am Multidisciplinary Conference (Vascular Surgery/IR) Conference
8am - 3:30pm Dr. Tracci clinic
Alternate with
8am - 3:30pm Dr. Upchurch clinic
8am - 4pm Vein Clinic Dr. Tracci
Through participation in weekly interdisciplinary clinical conferences (see table) residents are exposed to a wide variety of ideas and perspectives regarding the treatment of vascular diseases. The residents will present topics for discussion at clinical case conference, multidisciplinary conferences and at local and national vascular surgery meetings. Each vascular surgery resident will attend one national scientific conference and one regional conference or educational course annually. It is the goal of the vascular surgery faculty to teach by example, and with daily contact, demonstrate at all times the highest level of integrity, professionalism, dedication to service and compassion toward those entrusted in their care.
At the University of Virginia we participate in the vascular surgical match coordinated through the NRMP. We have (2) two positions annually and accept applications via ERAS system during the fellowship match season which runs December – April.
Application: General Surgery Residents apply during their 4th year in general surgery via Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). 5:2 program. Applicants who successfully complete a general surgery residency program accredited by ACGME will be considered.
Interested applicants will have their applications are viewed by faculty members in Division of Vascular and endovascular Surgery and select number of individuals are invited to interview at the University each year. There are typically two (2) interview dates in late winter/early spring each year. Following the interview process, the faculty meet and determine the rank order then submit to the NRMP in anticipation of May match.
To initiate your application to the University of Virginia Vascular surgery residency program, please note the following:
The educational philosophy and approach at UVA is that all residents are mature learners who have control over their environment, circumstances, and education. A faculty goal is to remove obstacles to learning and to actively participate in teaching. This approach requires a commitment to teaching at all levels.
2015 Vascular Surgery Residency Candidates for 2016 NRMP
This coming vascular surgery season, there are two (2) vascular surgery positions open. Application Criteria:
- Completed ERAS application form
- Demographics, past education, research experience, publications, VISA status, USMLE, current licensure

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
It's hard to believe that Monotype, a successful company and a great font house with a history of brilliant design behind it, could cut two slightly different versions of a distinctive eighteenth-century font, and choose the wrong one to preserve; but such happened in the 1920s to 'Fournier' -- attractive enough, if a little plain -- and its more beautiful sister 'Barbou'.
From: – Stanley Morison, 'A Tally of Types', pages 79-80. Cambridge UK: Cambridge University Press, 1973.
To these biographical notes a few paragraphs may be added about the book-faces originated by Fournier, which were recut by the Monotype Corporation and immediately acquired for use at Cambridge. Although it was decided in 1922 to proceed with the recutting of one of the roman and italics characteristic of Fournier's early period, work was not begun until the autumn of 1924. When the Corporation made its decision, there remained some doubt as to the best model, and two designs were cut, which are here compared for the first time. They are numbered 185 and 178 respectively.
Owing to some confusion (due to the typographical adviser's absence abroad), series 185 was approved. This, therefore, is the face that, after a highly successful career of over twenty-five years, appears here and in the Corporation's specimen. It is a reproduction of Nos. xlvi (roman) and xlvii (italic) named in the Manuel Typographique as 'St Augustin Ordinaire'. The great seven-volume Shakespeare printed at Cambridge for Francis Meynell between 1929 and 1933 is, according to the considered judgement of its designer, the 'chef d'oeuvre of the Nonesuch Press'. As a use of series 185, it is no less a monument to Fournier le jeune, although the capitals were specially reduced in height. The first size of the Monotype recutting was completed in 1925.
The second and, surely, preferable design (shown in this paragraph) is numbered series 178, only one size of which, in one set of matrices, was struck. They were acquired by Cambridge, where they are known as 'Barbou', and were first used for the composition of 'The Fleuron', vol. V, printed at Cambridge in 1926. The Barbou type was used for the composition in 1926 on a type-facsimile of 'Traité historique et critique sur l'origine et les progrès des caractères de font, pour l'impression de la musique' which Fournier wrote and Barbou published in 1765. The facsimile was duly proofed, but pressure of work of a different kind having first delayed the writing of the necessary introduction and finally postponed it to the Greek Kalends, Lewis after fifteen years dissed the type ('It had whiskers on it'), and the project was abandoned. The Barbou type has had occasional use since 'The Fleuron' came to its appointed end with volume VII (Cambridge, 1930). This paragraph enables comparison to be made with the standard Fournier shown in those preceding it. Both designs were cut by Fournier le jeune before 1742. They are both unmistakably eighteenth-century in cut; neither is conspicuously French, or even markedly continental. Both series provide for a persistent need in the trade: a bookish type which is narrow in the body without looking starved, an effect better reached by series 178 than by 185.*
The headpiece at the beginning of this section is composed from reproductions of ornaments designed and engraved by the artist. Fournier's ornaments as a whole and the use he made of them alone place him at the head of his craft during a century that included Bodoni and Baskerville among his great contemporaries.
Attached is a scan of page 80 of Morison's book, which gives examples of Fournier at the head and tail of the page, and Barbou in the centre.
I like my digital version of Fournier, but I agree with most commentators that at sizes less than 16 point, it gives a spindly and anaemic effect. How I long to hear that Barbou has been revived as a digital face...
John Tranter, Balmain
Thanks for bringing this to our attention: I've also read the story of Monotype Barbou in Morison's book.
As a sidenote, I would like to remember that another, heavier, digital version of Fournier does exist: Corundrum Text, by Joshua Darden (http://www.dardenstudio.com/typefaces/corundum_text); although I find Monotype Fournier beautiful and useful when appropriately set.
Barbou, on the other hand, has been quoted by Jeremy Tankard as one of the historical typefaces he has researched upon while designing his Kingfisher (check the pdf here: http://typography.net/fontfamilies/view/12).
Many thanks for those two links, Nicola. Corundum is a little heavy for my liking, and Kingfisher a long way from Barbou, but they are both very good fonts.
John Tranter
On second thoughts, I take that back. Corundum is not a heavy font: it just looks that way if you go to the website, because almost all the examples given as "Corundum Text" are in fact Corundum Bold Text -- an extraordinary oversight. It's nearly impossible to work out that the Regular weight exists: when you finally uncover them, the three weight variations are unlabelled, where they should be labelled Regular, Bold and Extra Bold (or if you prefer Regular, Semi-bold and Bold.)
It does look like a stylish and very useful digital font -- a modernised version of Fournier-Barbou with harmonious italics, good small caps and a good range of ligatures-- and I shall explore it further.
FWIW, in the PDF sample, the three weights of Corundum are called 'book', 'semibold' and 'bold'.
Thanks, DTW. I've bought a version and I am trying it out on a few pages of poetry with footnotes. It's very quirky: the lower-case i and the numeral 7 in italic is too strange to use for long, and it's not easy to insert their alternates; and as a text font it does seem to be cut just a tiny bit too thick, but at least that remedies Monotype Fournier's problem of being a little too wide and open and faint, especially the lower case g.
At least someone has brought out a good, usable digital version of Barbou. I can remember when a strip of two fonts (on photo film) for the $100,000 Compugraphic 7700 machine cost US$600, a quarter of a century ago, and that didn't include kerning, alternates or ligatures (which were impossible on that equipment in any case)! That's a couple of thousand bucks for two fonts in today's sadly shrunken dollar, more than ten times what my digital version of twelve Corundum fonts cost.
And what would we do with all that spare time if we found the perfect font?
John Tranter
John, can I ask you what software you use for setting texts? In Indesign it's pretty easy to insert alternates via the glyphs table, and you can even do a search/substitute glyphs function for changing every occurrences of a single glyph in a document (or in a text block). Anyway, it's interesting to see a poet setting texts. By chance, in these days I'm reading a nice sixties edition of Blake's poems - translated by Giuseppe Ungaretti - wonderfully set in Monotype Dante (metal), I would like to post some pics soon to show it here.
Hi, Nicola. I use InDesign for typesetting, and unfortunantely Corundum has problems with that software. Choosing to replace the italic 1 or 7 with their alternates does not call up the real alternates; you have to set the text with the weird glyphs Corundum gives you, then, when you're finished (really finished!) go through and substitute one glyph for another, a real pain. And if you decide to make some revisions (as we all do), you have to do this all over again.
Also, importing RTF files into InDesign fails to catch the italic version of Corundum, and for some inexplicable reason, the font designer refused to call the italic version "italic", and instead calls it "BookItalic". Sometimes it is impossible to force InDesign to accept the changes you need to make (change Italic to BookItalic), by hand, one at a time. What a shame!
Dante Metal is a wonderful typeface. I set my 2009 Doctor of Creative Arts thesis in the digital version of Dante. Unfortunately when it was photocopied and printed and bound, the face turned out too faint: the photocopier overexposed the pages. Oh well: that's photocopying versus metal printing.
I'll try to give an example of that, and an example of Corundum as a font usable for poetry. The footnotes in the Corundum font are not meant seriously, by the way.
I should mention that the Penguin edition of Rimbaud's "Collected Poems" (trans. Oliver Bernard) is set in Monotype Fournier, and the effect is very good. The metal original helps make the font solid enough.
John Tranter
And here's the Monotype Fournier setting for the Collected Poems of Arthur Rimbaud (trans. Oliver Bernard, Penguin, 1962).
In searching for information about Barbou, I see one place where it is dated 1926, another where it is noted that Monotype made it available in 1959, and another that says it was their last hot-metal type, from 1968.
It is a beautiful typeface. But are its commercial prospects enough for them to make the effort to do it justice?
And I also like Kingfisher. I think it's very important that type designers aim at addressing the issue of why many digital typefaces seem uninteresting compared to metal ones. But I notice that it seems aimed at the area of design space occupied by Caledonia, and a number of other typefaces of recent design and high quality are aimed at this area of design space.
I think that there is both too much competition, and a lack of interest there for a typeface in that area to really take off: aside from commercial prospects, this is unfortunate as I would like the successful attempts to be influential. Only a few people, in comparison, seem to be aiming at what I suspect is the brass ring with typefaces such as Williams Caslon and Starling.
Popular taste probably would respond well to a fresh new alternative of high quality in the Bembo - Garamond - Caslon - Baskerville - Times - Century Expanded neighborhood of serif types.
John, you should tell Joshua Darden - Corundum's designer - about your issues with the typeface in Indesign; I'm sure there must be an easier (and faster) way to insert the alternate glyphs, as well as to convert the italic style from your rtf document to Corundum's italic. By the way, your poetry examples look very nice; Corundum seems to hace a very nice texture.
Thanks for the suggestion: I have sent the Darden Studio a courteous email to that effect.
@Quadiblock: Thanks, John: your remark about Williams Caslon spurred me to research it further. William Berkson, the fonts' designer, has a wonderfully insightful two-part article about the design of the font here:
Thanks again
John Tranter, Sydney
The Wrong Fournier:
I've added some more examples to this page:
It shows the two Monotype Fourniers from the 1920s; also shown for comparison are a scan reproduction of a photo-litho offprint of some Monotype metal-set Fournier (Oliver Bernard's translations of Rimbaud's Collected Poems, Penguin, 1965), the same text typeset in digital Fournier, and the same text set in Corundum, a recent typeface by the Joshua Darden studio in Brooklyn USA:
I'm reviving this thread since I've just found that the b+p swiss typography foundry has published in 2011 a new digital revival of Fournier, designed by Francois Rappo. It is a very large family (24 fonts) which even features different x-heights. The book weight is slightly darker and bigger than the Monotype's version. In the image attached, I set a quick comparison between Monotype Fournier (above) and the b+p version (below), both set at 12 points on 14 leading:
A free trial version with a limited set of glyphs is available for download:
Nice to see the Rappo Fournier here – an elegant type.
Mind you, some of us think the choice of the Fournier that Morison didn't want was not a mistake at all. Luckily he was safely out of reach.
Alas, the lovely Rappo Fournier has disappeared from the Swiss Typefaces site. Is this a unique event in the world of digital type? I had tried to install it on my Macbook Air, but the operating system refused to allow me to, and reported finding problems with the kerning tables. I passed this on to Swiss Typefaces, and they said a redesign that would solve that problem was planned. Alas, that didn't happen, and the font disappeared, and now my 600-page Collected Poems will have to be published in Adobe Arno Pro -- a very nice typeface to be sure, but not quite what I wanted. If M. Rappo manages to save his font from its fate, and fix the kerning tables, would someone please let me know? Thanks. JT, May 2013.
Have you tried asking Rappo directly? A couple of channels:
If all else fails (and if the EULA allows modification) you can get a third-party to fix the font for you.
Windows computers are cheaper than some fonts, so that's another solution.

In a few weeks, we'll be starting up with a local food coop and I couldn't be more excited for it to start up. We had been receiving a weekly box of produce from a farm west of Boston and had quite enjoyed the service. Besides onions and garlic, we really didn't need to purchase a whole lot in the way of vegetables. Since moving, we had to find another service and we were thrilled when we came across information regarding a produce pickup not far from our house. In addition to the veggies we'll be getting, we also joined their cheese share. Yes, a cheese share! They do a bread one too, but we decided that might not be the best idea. But cheese… we couldn't resist.
While we wait for this to start up, I've been making frequent trips to our local Whole Foods, which is situated just down the road. A ten minute walk. Yes, it's dangerous. These trips always result in items that we probably didn't need… but, gosh, we just had to have them. Like fiddleheads. Or ramps. Or those very expensive mushrooms I couldn't leave without.
I made a stop there just last week after Kimberley's fierce debut cookbook, Vibrant Food, came my way. I've had the pleasure of following her site, The Year In Food, for quite some time. A couple of years ago, we got to see each other in New York. Snacks were consumed. There was day drinking (I know… shocking). From the moment I saw her beautiful blog… the recipes, the photos, the anecdotes… I knew that it was only a matter of time before there'd be a book. When the announcement was made, it immediately made it on my list of must-have cookbooks. Nothing could have prepared me for this stunning creation. I will hold onto Vibrant Food for years and years. This is not a book that one goes to for the images alone. I want to make every dish in here and, not only that, it has inspired numerous ideas for future recipes. That's something special.
This recipe is my take on her poached apricots, which included rose water instead of the lavender I used. I also included chopped pistachios for texture and because I will put pistachios on top of just about anything because I love the nutty flavor.
So, thanks to Kimberley and the folks at Ten Speed Press, you have a chance to win your own copy of Vibrant Food!
Here's how to enter the giveaway:
Leave a comment on this post… it can be anything, but I'd love to hear what your favorite spring or summer fruits and veggies are.
