ou were working on a doctoral thesis at Oxford on an entirely different subject---race relations--when you found a letter written by Georgiana. How did you find Georgiana amongst that subject?
I was writing a thesis about attitudes towards race and culture in eighteenth-century London and by sheer coincidence I happened to come across some of her letters. I was reading a biography of her lover, Charles Grey, who had proposed abolition of the slave trade. She figured quite prominently in this biography but the writer described her in a very derogatory way and he kind of made fun of her and dismissed her. I felt from the letters that were quoted in this book that the author's tone completely failed to match the intelligence and vitality of her in letters. I felt very strongly that something really wrong had taken place, a kind of historical white out; it got my blood going and I wanted to discover what she was actually like. So from that point on I started investigating her and tried to find anything I could either about her friends, her time, anything that mentioned her in any way. Before I knew it, I neglected my thesis and was only working on her. Six months later my advisors noticed; I explained and they took a kindly view and invited me back.
The Whig party was in favor of many liberal notions not least liberty for the States. Was Grey's position on abolition that of the Whig party as well?
Yes, it was a Whig position. I was always attracted to the Whigs. For one thing they had a great soft spot for America. They supported American freedom, they supported religious tolerance, and they were against the slave trade. I always felt they were my kind of people.
Was there anything in Georgiana's childhood that would suggest that she was to become so powerful and present in that world?
From the moment Georgiana was born she had a charisma, an ability to attract people. First of all, she enthralled her own mother. In fact, her mother wrote that she would never love another child the way she loved her "little G." And there was something amazingly captivating and winning about her from the age of six months. Wherever she went, whether it was to other little children's parties or to France, people thought that it was a weird phenomenon that she had an ability to attract attention.
It has been said that her self-destructive compulsions such as gambling and drinking were a rebellion against the Duke. Was he truly someone she needed to push herself so forcefully against?
It was less that she was rebelling against the Duke and more that she was punishing him for not being the ideal husband that she thought he was going to be when she married him at age sixteen. She rebelled against his family, who wanted her to be demure and obedient.
Was she an obedient child?
She was obedient. Georgiana suffered from a profound shock when she was seven years old. Her parents had suddenly gone off on a trip for a year. Her father suffered from a severe depression and her mother thought she could help him by taking him to Italy for a year but she never explained this to Georgiana. She just left her with her grandmother. As a result, Georgiana felt she had been a really bad girl. From that moment on she became obsessively obedient and terrified of saying or doing the wrong thing without actually knowing what the wrong thing was at any given time. That was what made her so obedient as a child and so easily manipulated as an adult. She had an inarticulate fear of doing the wrong thing and displeasing people. It was not a fear of doing the wrong thing socially; it was a fear of displeasing people.
So her habits were a response to the Duke because he ignored their marriage and continued the habits of his bachelorhood. He did not make her the center of his universe.
I think so.
Even as her debts mounted she distributed allowances to a roster of people of whose needs she had been made aware.
She never wanted to displease and always wanted to help people. She consistently had an amazingly humane response to anyone in need. At the same time she would borrow money and not pay it back for years.
Why did her friends keep lending her money to hide her gambling debts from the Duke?
A lot of them broke with her because of it. And a lot of them would beg with her and plead with her to stop gambling. Money was the bane of her existence. It was worse than the fly in the ointment; it was the livid scar on the face. It colored and touched and partly ruined everything she did.
These debts followed her across the sea to France. She did make remarkably close relationships with the French court upon her first visit at age twelve.
She was a best friend of Marie Antoinette. They were always exchanging letters and fashion tips. It was Marie Antoinette that sent Georgiana the muslin dress and which Georgiana wore and it became the fashion statement.
It was a fashion that could not get off the ground until she wore it and it was an extreme departure for the fashion of the day. In fact it resembled an undergarment more than a dress and was incredibly risqué.
For all that Georgiana was desperate to please, she also had an unerring ability to know how far things could go. So, though she liked to shock people--such as by wearing this dress--something within her must have known she could get away with it.
Did her relationship with the French court carry over to political involvement?
She had connections with the Royalists. I'm not sure how much influence she had politically with the French although after the revolution she had a lot of influence. She was among those who had the royal family protected and she wrote letters to Lafayette. In fact, the Marquis de Lafayette was captured many years later and was imprisoned in Austria as a revolutionary and she campaigned the British government for his release. She was very involved in international politics.
This at a time when the French and the British were bitter foes.
She never really accepted international divides. She was very popular wherever she went, in whatever country; she was a star instantly.
Why did her younger brother, George, have an almost parental authority on her and their younger sister, Harriet?
He had control over all the money; they were given their portions and that was it so he became the head of the family. They both looked up to him and admired him as a sensible person. They adored him and knew he was smart and solid and all the things they weren't. George was a straightforward politician and the avenues were very laid out for him. Georgiana had to carve things out for herself and that position can be very intimidating. Georgiana was acting in a time when women were expected to be involved in politics.
But not at the level from which she was conducting and influencing politics.
That is the story of Georgiana. She entered into the world in the way she was expected to and then she always took it to the nth degree in every way whether it was fashion, politics, gambling...she took it to another place.
Why and how did she do this?
It was because she was all heart, a big, huge heart. She had a skin missing. She was very, very sensitive. Everything was writ large for her, nothing was small. Everyone said of Georgiana that she seemed too big for any room that she happened to be in. She was this great big, raw, beating heart. I think that everyone who ever met her felt lucky that they had met her. She was an experience and everyone that came across her knew that they'd had one.
The marriage of Georgiana and the Duke of Devonshire was shared by a third party, Lady Elizabeth Foster, otherwise known as Bess. They met Bess in Bath; how did she enter their lives so swiftly and so deeply?
Bess had circumstances that made her a sympathetic figure. She was the daughter of the fourth earl of Bristol. She came from an aristocratic family but she had no money. She had married a comfortably-off Irishman and the marriage failed miserably and her husband returned to Ireland. Her husband had taken away her two sons as the father could in those days because they had control of the children no matter what. Her father was a bit of a rogue and refused to give her any income as well and so she was really living on air in a precarious situation in her sister's household in Bath. Bess's rather romantic and dreadful situation appealed to Georgiana's sense of charity, romance and justice. She wanted to help her new friend.
When Georgiana spent two years in exile for the birth of her illegitimate daughter it was written in woe that it seemed the entire world was in love with Georgiana except for her husband.
Georgiana married the Duke because she thought he was like her father, who was very reserved and very cold on the outside and very warm on the inside. The Duke was very cold on the outside and very cold on the inside. He did have an interior but it was so labyrinthine that she was never going to find her way in, though Bess would. They both needed so much attention but neither could give it because they both needed it so much. That is why the marriage was such a disaster.
He appears very cold and remote--so much so that it is a surprise that Bess could enter the fortress by sycophancy.
He didn't know what real love was; he didn't have it as a child. He had a false idea of love to begin with, a constructed idea.
How did they escape censure for their triangular living arrangement?
They got away with it socially because he was one of the richest men in England and the very rich can get away with almost anything. His own wife was prepared to countenance it as if nothing were happening to incur discord: "We are three very great friends living in a house together because we are all very great friends." No one was about to say aloud: "No, that's not true."
Do you believe that Georgiana was truly unaware of Bess's questionable character?
I think she was aware of it but she also believed that Bess's good nature was stronger and bigger than her bad nature and she preferred to believe in the good nature.
Why do you suppose that she trusted Bess as a conduit within her very own marriage when Bess was her husband's mistress and was clearly yearning to replace her as head of the household?
It is an amazing thing that Georgiana believed that Bess would do as she thought she would do and Georgiana's overwhelming belief convinced Bess, in spite of herself, that she should do what was asked. If it hadn't of been for Georgiana's extraordinary presence, her love, her charisma, her devotion to Bess, Bess would have dissed her. She would have gotten one over her all the time. Anytime she wanted to do that she would be confronted by this woman who was winning everything she wanted and yet claimed no ownership. She is like the thief in the night whose owner says, "Please, take it. You are welcome to it. You don't have to steal it." The thief doesn't know what to do. That is Georgiana and Bess.
In your portrait, Bess seems to play both Georgiana and the Duke very carefully and also seems incapable of devotion without tangible rewards, but she has a great many affairs.
I think Bess was sexually voracious and would sleep with anybody.
So much historical writing has purified and, as a result, virginized the eighteenth century.
In many ways, that particular era, the 1750s and 1800s is one of the sexiest eras in the second millennium. Everybody is overwhelmed with the idea of self-fulfillment because of the Enlightenment. They are doing the best they can to find it. It's before the age of evangelical religion and before the age of psychoanalysis so it doesn't have the self-consciousness of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They are just doing it and they don't know why; they just are and I find that really fascinating.
Georgiana was the beginning and end of an era. Queen Victoria's reign shut down the liberal freedoms that marked the Enlightenment and the opportunity for a woman like Georgiana to assume a powerful role.
Georgiana defined a political era and a fashion era and for all of her mistakes, she is such a child of her time: the gambling, the sexual license, the art and the music, every thing she does defines the moment because she is so much and utterly of it.
You mention a novel written by Georgiana, anonymously, that you believe to be a roman à clef.
The romantic novel she wrote, The Sylph, is like every other terrible romantic novel written at that time but it is more terrible because they are real stories. There is one of a woman being beaten up by her husband in order to get more money out of her or a husband that sells the rights to his wife's body to his creditors to settle a gambling debt. I know it's true; it is a roman à clef and that is so extraordinary.
Generally, these novels do not remain anonymous for long, though the author may never confess to having written them and thereby exposing their contemporaries along the way. Where did Georgiana, the young bride, find the courage to publish?
She wanted to expose the hypocrisy of her surroundings. She was very young and felt unloved. Her husband was having affairs with her friends and she wrote that book out of a sense of loneliness. She wanted everyone who thought she was on top of the heap to know that the heap was a dunghill.
What is the story line of The Sylph?
A young country girl happens, by a series of coincidences, to meet a rake in the countryside. She has a fair amount of money but she has never been to London. The rake marries her and he expects her to move to London and to conform to the ways of eighteenth-century high society. She's pure and innocent and doesn't want to and the marriage falls apart in about five seconds. The story is of her travails as an unloved, pure-hearted, innocent wife in this moral cesspit.
There lies her accusation to the Duke who was a heavy drinker, a gambler and adulterer who did not depart from those activities even on their wedding night.
Well, he certainly wasn't a figure of moral rectitude but neither do I think he ever expected her to become a nun. All he wanted from her was not to get pregnant with another man's child and not to spend all the family money, which, on the face of it, is not such a terrible thing to ask.
Georgiana came perilously close to losing everything her family had to her gambling debts. There were various aspects to her. She was very needy but also greatly magnanimous. She assisted many people with annual stipends and never turned away a plea for cash and yet she allowed her friends to go belly up by not repaying her loans. She would then borrow from someone else with the understanding that the money was going toward her debts and take it instead to the table and lose it again. She fretted but never once betrayed a shred of honorable action in this regard, her family, her children and their legacy be damned.
I know, I know, it's just shameful and that is what made her family and her friends just weep for her. It was just tragic. She was completely consistent in that everything she did lost money. Gambling wasn't considered strange when everyone did it. It's like drinking where at the end of the night one person is drunk. With her it was gambling. In the night she would have gambled away everything. She has all these problems and she doesn't know what they are. We do because we have labels for them. Desperate needs create desperate acts. No one would act as she did if the cards were stacked up properly. She's a celebrity without knowing what a celebrity is. She's a gambling addict before she knows what that is. She was a bulimic before she knew what one was and the way she tries to find what she is and decide what she is and then find ways to not be what she is, all without help or guidance or hindsight or knowledge, fascinates me.
Did her involvement in political discourse and strategy consume her enough to abate her gambling patterns?
She stopped gambling upon her return from exile and the birth of her daughter Eliza by Charles Grey. First of all, she was in social disgrace so she couldn't go out. She was under lock and key which helped an awful lot. Then she was incredibly ill and she lost one eye and was disfigured and then the Whig party collapsed and there were to be no more politics. She is at her lowest point. She had no more defenses. There were no crutches. She suddenly had to be with herself. The first couple of years were kind of hard. Finally, she came to terms with who she was and then the gambling became less of a burning need. She started to become a whole person. She used to say that she felt very uncomfortable having one-to-one conversations. She could speak in front of thousands easily but one-to-one she feared they might get past her defenses. It was too intense for her. Those fears and insecurities all dissipated once she had come to terms with herself.
What did she come to terms with? What did she finally understand?
I think she understood that she didn't have to please everyone in order to be loved. She understood that it wasn't necessary and that her self-worth wasn't based on the number of people who knew who she was or shouted her name or read about her in the papers. I think that, formerly, she had come to believe that her public image was all she was.
So she not only read her tabloid press but she believed what they wrote?
Oh yes, definitely. She had the famous person's problem of not being able to tell the difference between who she was and who the public thought she was, of being confused between the two.
How would you sum her up?
If I had to sum her up, I would say that she is a woman who was born with every advantage in life and, somehow, by having been given every advantage, none of it meant anything to her. She spent the first part of her life throwing away these advantages and destroying herself. It is the rise and the fall of Georgiana. It is only in the fall, when she has destroyed everything, that she discovers what her essence is and who she really is and she can become a woman, not an idol, not a mascot, not an icon...not any of these things. She is herself and that is when she finds real fulfillment, at the end of her life.
What did you learn from her?
I learned that the struggle of becoming who you are is a) lifelong and b) universal and that was very inspiring. As much as she accomplished in her life, much of it was created under incredible limitations that she simply did not see. Hers was a great blindness.

lll. Budgeting Budget Philosophy A budget is a written document that expresses the goals and objectives of the association in terms of dollars. It is a method of establishing priorities for the allocation of available resources. It represents the financial plan for the association. It is a guideline for spending and should not be considered absolute or inflexible. It is based on the best information available at that time. It is a combination of value judgments, choices and compromises. Combined with a financial report, it becomes a valuable program evaluation tool. A budget should not be considered either a minimum or a maximum spending commitment. It should be based on reasonable, attainable goals. There should be wide participation during its development, especially by those responsible for its implementation. It should be completed before the date it is to become effective. If the definitions are too vague or the appropriate participation is not included in the development phase, the budget may be ignored. It may become easy to lean on the "flexibility" arguments. If it is a plan, a statement of goals and objectives and an expression of priorities, then it should be followed, unless changed by the appropriate governing body. Strategic budgeting provides answers to the following questions: What do we want to achieve? How do we plan to pursue our goals? What will it cost? What resources are available and when will they be received? What did it cost? Did we achieve our goals? Are we on track? If not: - Was the goal unrealistic? - Should an alternate plan be adopted? - Should we re-evaluate the allocation of our resources? - Should we seek additional resources? - Was our time and money diverted to other, more critical goals? The follow-up or evaluation process is one of the most important parts of budgeting. This is achieved through variance analysis which compares the budget to the actual expenses and attempts to identify the reasons for the differences. Budgeting cannot be effective in a poorly structured organization, or where leadership and members are not communicating effectively. The budget-building process can help strengthen the organization and provide meaningful internal, two-way communication. Budget Development The steps and organizational set-up that follow are suggestions for your consideration. Evaluate them as they relate to your association and the needs of your members. Select a budget committee. The committee should include the treasurer, president-elect and one or two at-large members of your association. Keep this committee fairly small, even if your association is large, since later steps in the budget process will involve the rest of your members. Establish a timetable for completing the various stages of the development process. Work back from the date the budget must be adopted by your delegate body. The body authorized to adopt the budget should be specified in your local bylaws (total membership representative assembly, or executive board, etc.) The following is a sample calendar: May 1 School Board notification of dues withholding April 30 Membership meeting to adopt budget and dues April 14 Recommended budget distributed and discussed with general membership by Area Representative April 7 Representative council reviews proposed budget and makes recommendations to membership March 4 Proposed budget sent to representative council by budget committee Feb. 24 Deadline for program committees to submit budget recommendations to the budget committee Feb. 20 Survey details given to program committees by budget committee Feb. 15 Surveys due back from Area Representatives Feb. 4 Surveys sent to membership Jan. 29 Membership survey completed by budget committee and prepared for distribution to membership Jan. 8 Budget committee begins work on a new budget Develop a method for identifying members' requirements and/or requests. This may be accomplished through a general membership meeting, building meeting, a member questionnaire, a small sample questionnaire, informal meetings, etc. Gather the requests, requirements and surveys if used. Distribute to the appropriate officers and chairpersons of local committees for development of programs that reflect the results. Submit budget requirements to the budget committee within the timetable established. Compile the results as submitted by the program committees and categorize under headings as suggested by the Chart of Accounts (e.g. Negotiations – Committee Meeting Expenses). Submit the compiled results to the officers and executive board for consideration and evaluation. Realistic income projections must be developed as it determines your association's ability to finance the proposed program. Since the proposed budget will ultimately be the president-elect's responsibility to administer, it would be advisable for the president-elect to chair the budget committee and for the executive board to chair the evaluation session. Present the proposed budget to the members, advising them of any local dues increases if applicable. Following approval of the budget, submit it to the treasurer for implementation to ensure the budget format conforms to the association's bookkeeping system (e.g. new accounts). Budget Implementation Begin by including the current, year-to-date income and expenses plus projected income and expenses for the remainder of the fiscal year. This may be used as a basis of comparison and reasonableness. (Refer to Section X – Samples - for Specimen III A and B, Budget Worksheet and Summary) The proposed budget will determine how much your association will spend on each program. Estimate the amount your association will spend for individual items within major accounts. Disregard items in Specimen III A and B that do not apply to your association and add items as needed. An assigned number can identify the major programs. Coding will make it easier to refer to programs on checks and the association books. Variance Analysis Variance Analysis should accompany the treasurer's report. The "rules" for this analysis are a) it should only address the line items that are above or below budget by a meaningful amount, b) the reason for the variance and planned corrective actions should be included, and c) the analysis must be presented in a readable form. If the budget is forecast to be over budget (expenses exceed revenue) for the year, a decision will have to be made as to how to balance the budget. This may include a) reallocating budget dollars among various programs and services; b) raising revenue (i.e. by increasing dues); c) cutting back on certain programs during the current year; or d) continuing scheduled programs for the year and using reserves to fund them. A popular format for variance analysis is tabular. Refer to the next page for an example: Line Item Budget Actual Difference Comments Newsletter Printing $500 $700 -$200 Needed to publish an extra issue, due to the strike. Will eliminate an issue at the end of the year to compensate. An alternative is to use a narrative format. If you use this system, we suggest that you devote a separate paragraph to each variance. For example: "Newsletter Printing was over budget by $200 (40%). We had to publish an extra issue in October due to the strike. At this time, we plan to eliminate the April issue of the newsletter to get the cost back in line with the budget."

counter top microwave, broiler, toaster - does this exist?
homeimprovementmomApril 23, 2013
I thinking about replacing my microwave. I understand that there are now "speed ovens" microwave convection oven combos etc. I would need a counter or under counter may be wall microwave but we canot not vent to the outside.
it does not have to be huge either - regular plate size - my current Sharp is 20" - I could go a to 24".
What brands have microwave and a broiler that can toast or brown?
I think it really does exist (see my link to find it) - Good luck Melanie

McKenzie sets sights on Ireland job
ESPN Staff
April 4, 2013
Ewen McKenzie is the bookies' favourite to replace Declan Kidney © Getty Images
Reds coach Ewen McKenzie has admitted that the Ireland post is the type of job that he is "interested in looking at" but he is yet to hear from the Irish Rugby Football Union.
The IRFU announced on Tuesday that it would not be renewing the contract of Declan Kidney when it comes to an end in June. In his place, Les Kiss will take temporary control of their summer tour to North America while the body in charge of Irish rugby seeks to find a permanent successor for Kidney.
Harlequins boss Conor O'Shea has already ruled himself out of contention while Saracens CEO Ed Griffiths is adamant that they will fight to keep Mark McCall at the club. Clermont Auvergne's Vern Cotter's name has also been thrown into the mix, but he is keen to see out his contract at the Top 14 club.
But McKenzie, who has coached Stade Francais in the past and also led the Reds to Super Rugby glory in 2011, has already announced that he will leave his post in Queensland at the end of the current season. He would be available for the Ireland job if they decide to approach him and he has admitted that he would be open to talks.
"I have said I am looking for coaching challenges at the next level and I am looking for whatever the possibilities are," McKenzie told Sydney's Daily Telegraph. "It's the type of job I am interested in looking at but there have been no discussions. I have stated I would like the Wallabies job but it's all in the timing. You have to look around what's available when you're looking for a job.
"I have made it clear the challenge of coaching at that level is what interests me but there aren't many opportunities at Test level and you can't control the timing."
Leinster's Joe Schmidt has also been mentioned as a possible candidate and their veteran second-row Leo Cullen concedes that the Kiwi would be a great fit for Ireland. "I suppose Joe is right in front of their [the IRFU's] noses," Cullen told the Telegraph. "Joe is very driven and I think he could certainly improve any team he works with.
"He would be a real addition. We would hope, with Leinster, that he would stay on for another couple of years but if the chance came with Ireland I don't think anyone at Leinster would begrudge him."

For this reason, it is no surprise that many methods of Web forming are in full development, as evidenced by numerous machine and process patents.
The process of the present invention is similiar to the method of manufacturing fiber leather in which the quilted leather waste is mixed with a binding material emulsion and by adding precipitating material, water removal is accomplished and a bonding of the leather fibers with the dispersed bonding material is achieved.
It is well known that on conventional paper machines, it is only possible to make papers from fiber material comprising short fibers, up to 12 millimeters in length. However, the modern non-woven webs are formed of fibers of 60 or even 80 millimeter length and one cannot make use of the standard methods of preparation in the pulper, hollauder or chopper and a new approach must be taken. This consists of the following:
When cationically charged fibers are dusted on a foam made of an anionic binder like a polyvinylacetate emulsion, then the emulsion will break down and the binder material precipitates onto and combines With the cationic fibers and the water may thereafter be removed. The speed of the process can be increased by the addition of other cationic means for accelerating the precipitation or by adding flocking'agents, such as aluminum sulfate.
Specifically, in this process, cationically charged fibers, such .as polyester fibers or cellulose acetate fibers coated with fattyalkylpropylene di-amine acetate, may be uniformly dispersed on a butadiene-sty-rene dispersion foam. The butadiene-styrene dispersion breaks down or flocculates, depositing the but-adiene-styrene binder material onto the fibers and enabling the water from the dispersion to be removed, all of which may be performed at high production speeds. Long experiments suggest that uniform deposition of the fibers into a web can best be accomplished by pneumatically conveying the fibers to a layer of pre-laid binder foam utilizing rotating screens to obtain a uniform distribution of fibers across the web. This method of delivering fibers to the foam belongs to 3,275,496 Patented Sept. 27, 1966 this new principle of high speed production of nonwoven webs. It is also contemplated that the treated,
cat-ionically charged'fiber, can be dispersed in the binder foam before the foam is laid out in a web.
Other objectives, advantages and features of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention wherein reference is made to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic elevational view of apparatus for practicing the method of this invention; and,
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a modification of the apparatus of FIG. 1.
The apparatus illustrated in FIG. 1 is similar to appara-tus which has been employed to practice this invention in the production of non-woven fabric having a weight of 27 grams/square meter and a width of 20 centimeters at a speed of 200 meters per minute, An emulsion mixture of latex adhesive is formed by the introduction into a vat 11 of 8 'liters of water and a foamable adhesive compound consisting of grams of polyvinylacetate as an adhesive agent, 40 grams of methyl cellulose .as a suspending, or emulsifying, agent and 40- grams of a suitable plasticizer. This foamable emulsion, indicated at 12 is subjected to violent agitation by means of a 'high speed impeller '13 and high pressure lair introduced through the bottom of vat 1 1 through a pipe 14.
A multiplicity of synthetic fibers have been previously treated to render them cationically charged and are stored in a hopper 16. By way of example, a suitable treatment may involve 800 grams of viscose rayon of. 1.2 denier having a fiber length of 60 millimeters. These fibers are rendered cationic by coating them with a cationic organic amine in the form of 32 grams fattyalkylpropylene diamine acetate. The fibers may additionally be treated with 40 grams of aluminum sulfate as .a coagulating, or precipitating, agent for the adhesive emulsion in the binder foam.
Foam produced in vat 11 is fed through a slice 17 onto a moving foraminous wire 18 driven at a speed of 200 meters per minute and supported at the ends of its loop by rolls 19. Foam binder is deposited on wire 18 at a rate sufficient to form a foam web 20 across the wire to a depth of 1 centimeter.
The previously treated, cationically charged fibers, indicated at 21 are fed from hopper 16 through a grinding and sieving unit 22 and into a separator 23 from which the fibers are dispersed onto the binder foam web 20. Upon contacting the foam the cationic fibers and the coagulating agent thereon act to break down the adhesive emulsion in the foam allowing the polyvinylacetate adhesive to adhere to and bond together fibers in the foam.
Wire 18 with the foam web 20 and fibers 21 thereon pass over a series of suction boxes 24 which effect removal of water released from the emulsion and excess foam material leaving a coherent web of bonded fibers on the wire. The non-woven Web thus formed may thereafter he removed from the wire by means of a felt or a :felt covered roll 26 and transferred to the surface of a large drying drum 27 which drives the remaining water from the web. The dry web is removed from the drying drum with the aid of a scraper, or doctor blade 28 and the finished web 29 may thereafter be rolled up on a reel (not shown).
The process of this invention may be practiced in a modified form on the apparatus illustrated schematically in FIG. 2. In this embodiment the adhesive foam emulsion 12, prepared as stated above, is introduced into a vat 31 having an impeller 13 and a compressed air pipe mass of binder foam. To this mass are introduced the charged fibers 21, prepared as stated above; The mixture of fibers 211and foamed adhesive emulsion 12 are conveyed to the moving wire '18 through a slice 32 communicating with vat 31 and having oppositely rotating cylindrical screens or sieves 33 disposed therein for breaking up and dispersing the charged fibers within the foam. The web 34 of fibers and binder foam deposited on wire 18 is thereafter dewatered and dried as described in con. nection with FIG. 1.

The entrees are yummy! The bread sticks are to die for and the huge salad that they give you is very fresh. The only down side is that on weekends their is always a wait. When your hungry its a bummer to have to wait 1/2 and hour or more.
Loved this restaurant. The meals were very good with an unlimited amount of bread sticks. The prices are very reasonable and the service was impeccable.
Typical franchise, "so called italian food". Typical spot for people who believe this is "fine dining". I do believe it's a great spot for families and people who just want some frozen-cooked italian food.
Have been here several times and the food never disappoints. I had a pasta dish with sliced beef that was outstanding. The appetizer was stuffed mushrooms that were also very good. The breadsticks are always hot and fresh. Our server was very good and always checked back within reasonable time. We will be back!
We had the "All you can eat!" salad and soup. We had a choice of three different soups, minestrone, chicken and gnocchi and pasta e fagioli. I had the pasta and it was delicious! The second bowl was just as hot and tasty as the first. It was a great light lunch for a great price. Everyone had plenty to...
I used to be a fan of OG, but since tonight's supper, i will be reluctant to try OG again.
I dunno if it's the concord franchise that serves very bland tasting food or it's the chain in general.
My husband ordered the pescatore parpadelle and I had the grilled trout with parpadelle side. Both of our dish was bland...
Our waiter was Matthew B and he was just terrific.
Excellent service. Suggested wine as sample to taste. We ended up having a glass and it was very good.
We were a family of 4 people and had Chicken brocoli alfredo fettucini which was very good and creamy. Our waiter even ask us if we wanted more sauce which we...
We generally enjoy the Olive Garden & patronize the nearby location whenever we travel. As we travel with our little dog-faced boy for the last few years we've tended to take advantage of ToGo menus, particularly when weather precludes leaving fido in the car. It has been brutally hot & humid of late here in New Hampshire.
This location certainly...
We had one of the best servers we have ever had the last time we visited this location. He was super-attentive, and we could not have asked for better service. The food was awesome as well.
We were in Concord and wanted a quick lunch that would be reasonably priced. Have always had great service at this restaurant until this time. We were shown to our table, the waiter came over took our drink order, but when he brought the drinks back he does not give us straws. We order our apps and give our lunch...

April 9, 2013
By 1998, in the U.S., a cumulative total of 109,311 adolescent or adult females had been diagnosed with AIDS. African-American women were three times more likely to die from AIDS than Caucasian or Hispanic women. In South Africa, Gugu Diamini, an AIDS activist, was beaten to death by her neighbors after revealing her HIV status on Zulu television.
The Global Campaign for Microbicides is founded at the XII International AIDS Conference in Geneva. The creation of the microbicide campaign came about from key members of the women's health and HIV community deciding to work together to focus world attention on the critical needs for new HIV prevention options, especially for women.

text: enel is very dangerous to everyone except luffy. if luffy was taken down before enel was then he would have a good chance of winning. unless of couse someone stabs him in the head with sea stone or something. i think that even though the elephant sword is probably going to be really good he is terrible so i dont think he will wield it well


text: Items 49 to 60 of 74 total View 12 / 24 / 48 Previous 1 ... 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 Next Better than felt By David on 2/13/2012 David would recommend this product to a friend I like these much better than felt. The felt mesh is easier to install and change out. I am also able to get the mesh far cleaner. The felt socks got nasty pretty quick, i think that both are of high quality and performance but my preference is mesh. Great filter sock By Brenton on 2/13/2012 Brenton would recommend this product to a friend This sock works great compared to some others i have tried. Really seams to catch almost everything and is really built to last which is nice for those of us who like to wash filter socks and use them long term. Awsome By Rocco on 2/5/2012 Rocco would recommend this product to a friend These filter socks work great. Catch the larger gunk and easy to clean so it doesn't become a nitrate spiker. A necessity for any sump By Brian on 1/13/2012 Brian would recommend this product to a friend I ran a sump without a filter sock for a year. It was a pain to clean and got nasty really fast. It's wayyy easier to change a sock every few days than to clean your sump out every few months. These socks are made of a thin fine mesh. I have used felt socks before, and their material is much thicker and they catch more. If you want to wash a felt sock, it's much harder to get the particles out and much more difficult to turn the filter sock inside-out. I'd rather catch a little less debris and have it be easier to clean. works well By Ryan on 12/30/2011 Ryan would recommend this product to a friend I went from having to clean my felt socks every 2 days to now every week with the mesh. Doesn't catch as much as the felt but works with my system. Easy to clean By kyle on 12/14/2011 kyle would recommend this product to a friend great product and much easer to clean than outher socks i have used. will buy again Wish I took the Felt By Randolph on 12/13/2011 Randolph wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Decided to try out the Mesh, but after hooking it up I wished I had taken the Felt, I think the felt catches so much more and is far more quieter. works great By david on 12/10/2011 david would recommend this product to a friend works great did not like the filter sock By NMsaltwaterfish on 12/3/2011 NMsaltwaterfish wouldn't recommend this product to a friend My experience was different than other reviewers. I put the new sock in and over a few days it was still clean. I never cleaned it because it did not catch anything. I assume everything went through the larger 200 micron sock. I ordered the felt socks and yes i have to clean them often but I know they are taking things out of the water. Great Product! By Nathan on 9/23/2011 Nathan would recommend this product to a friend Exceeds other micron socks. Wouldn't use anything else! Very good! By Nick on 9/23/2011 Nick would recommend this product to a friend These mesh socks absolutely change my life! No more tedious rinsing, soaking, or washing machine use! A quick rinse is all thats necessary to maintain these and they are durable. These Filter Socks are Amazing By Sunny on 8/11/2011 Sunny would recommend this product to a friend I have an eshopps pro-series deluxe sump that came with a 300 Micron Felt Sock. The original felt sock clogged every few days. I got the BRS Mesh 200 Micron filter socks to replace the original eshopps one. The BRS mesh sock fits perfectly, keeps my water crystal clear, and hasn't clogged in around 2 weeks. Very happy with the purchase, I have 4 more on stand by for use :-).

The Dodgers have agreed to a one-year deal with right-handed reliever Todd Coffey, CBSSports.com insider Jon Heyman reports.
Coffey will earn $1.3 million in 2012 with $350,000 worth of possible incentives.
Coffey, 31, was 5-1 with a 3.62 ERA in 69 games for the Nationals last season, striking out 46 batters in 59 2/3 innings. He had a WHIP of 1.257. In parts of seven seasons with the Reds and Brewers, Coffey is 24-18 with a 4.08 ERA and 11 saves.
Right-hander Javy Guerra finished the season as the Dodgers' closer and looks to be the favorite going into 2012, with Kenley Jansen there if he falters. Coffey can help in a setup role, along with right-hander Matt Guerrier and lefty Scott Elbert.

Ten soldiers were killed and four injured when suspected Taliban militants attacked an army checkpoint in southern Afghanistan, police said on Monday.
"Six soldiers escaped from the checkpoint, and it is not yet clear if they had a relationship with the insurgents," Mohammad Ismael Hotak, a police officer, said of Sunday night's attack in Helmand province's Washer district.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the strike, saying their fighters killed 16 soldiers.
"The mujahideen also seized a large number of arms and ammunition during the attack," Taliban spokesman Qari Yousuf Ahmadi said.

The wet saw is invaluable for cutting tile. Use this guide to learn how the saw can make various cuts.
More in Home Improvement
Wet saws have a water-filled trough that throw water over the tile as it's being cut, preventing the tile and the tool from overheating. Wet saws are expensive, but they can be rented for about $50 a day.
Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying chips of tile when using a wet saw. Before using a wet saw, pour water into the trough. The water level must be above the pump. Set the tile on the tray with the line to be cut aligned with the center slot on the tray. Push the tile and tray through the blade.
Attachments to the wet saw's table allow it to make bevels and other angled cuts. To cut a bevel, rest the tile on a bevel guide as it's sent through the saw blade. To cut tile at an angle, attach the angle guide to the table and adjust it as desired. Align the tile with the angle guide before sending it through the blade.
The wet saw can also cut curves on tile, such as an opening for a pipe. The process is easy but dangerous, as the user's hands are close to the blade. This technique should be attempted only by those skilled in the use of a wet saw.

We didn't have an opportunity to meet Levi, but he left the house neat and tidy and we hope he had a great stay!
Levi and his wife Hyunji were absoltelty delightful guests. My partner and I has recently visited Bozeman, Montana, and so we had lots to talk about. I had received such wonderful hospitality in Montana that I felt priveleged to have the opportunity to return even a bit of it to Levi and Hyunji. The were kind, considerate, and tidy. We enjoyed a glass of wine together and through conversation about my Peace Corps experience 12 years ago in Mali, they reconnected me with an old volunteer friend who they now know in Bozeman!

Public Library Exclusively For Digital Media Proposed 90
from the don't-copy-that-book dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
One of us must be drunk.
The big issues involve licensing for eBooks and the fact that publishers seem to engage in punitive pricing with Libraries. Example: One publisher declares that an ebook can only be checked out 27 times, then the license for that expires. Multiple publishers REFUSE to sell ebooks for Library use. Libraries are treated like pirates by many publishers.
Now, different companies are trying different models. Kansas libraries spearheaded a massive campaign to control their own ebooks licensing, and they succeeded with an unprecedented project of contacting hundreds of Publishers and finagling acceptable licenses for public usage. Will the San Antonio folks be doing this? Do they expect 3M, Sirsi, or Polaris to do this?
A tertiary issue is the license themselves. Typically in libraries, you cannot use a library owned computer to capture or transfer the license to an ereader device. This is because in the case of "USB required devices or items", the license exists on the COMPUTER itself. Downloading a license to a public computer currently violates all applicable copyright law for ebooks/eaudio materials because it makes the license available to all (or the license is lost when a computer reboots and doesn't save anything at all between sessions.)
Intriguing idea, but the article doesn't include any comprehension of the issues involved in this. Just because it sounds "cool", doesn't mean it's doable.

I'm 47, been in Portland since 1996, and I am a writer and publisher. In fact, I'm the author of two hiking guidebooks, a camping guidebook, and a breakfast guide to Portland (seriously!). So I can totally give you pointers.
I am all about the outdoors -- hiking and camping -- and there's a decent chance that while you're in my place I'll be sleeping in the woods. If I am visiting your town, I will want to know where to hike and eat breakfast, and I'd love to catch a soccer game.
I am also clean and sober and into my spirituality, so I can leave my meditation alter in place, if you'd like.
I might be able to hook you up Timbers tickets while you're in Portland.

Picerne Military Housing LLC
Business Services, Real Estate, Management Consulting
Picerne Military Housing is a relatively new company with a distinguished heritage. We trace our roots to 1925, when Romeo Picerne began building homes for immigrant families in Rhode Island. From the start, the focus of his fledgling company was on making life better for families. Much has changed since then. Much has remained the same. Today the Picerne organization is diversified, developing, constructing and managing whole communities. Even so, the families we serve continue to be our principal focus. Recently, we have partnered with the U.S. Army through the Residential Communities Initiative to develop, build and maintain on-post military family housing. Where better could we make an investment that will improve the quality of life for families who truly deserve comfortable, modern homes? We believe in long-term ownership of our communities. We build quality homes in desirable locations, manage them professionally, maintain them well and modernize them often. In fact, we still own and proudly manage the first multifamily community we built in 1958. Picerne Military Housing is developing military communities today that will continue to be viable 50 years from now. Even as construction of the first new neighborhoods get underway at Fort Meade, we are setting aside funds for the future to ensure that every military family moving into a Picerne home enjoys a comfortable, attractive and well maintained home.

Sources for V. Monstera Deliciosa
or Borsighiana? I really would like to get one of these when Spring comes. They're striking and I must have one in my garden this year!
I think you might have problems with Monstera Deliciosa in winter outside in zone 7. I can overwinter them outside, but only just, in a very sheltered position in a walled garden in a warm valley in zone 9. Move them to the front garden and the weather will zap them. They don't like anything below -2C or teh leaves get damaged and the stalks die at -5C too - end of plant!. If you can keep them above -2C, they pick the coldest horridest time of the year to flower!!! - They pick January here in the UK.
I picked up a couple $3 babies last year at my local OSH- I was rather suprised to find it there in the 'common indoor plant' section.. But they've got quite a few of them. Big ones were $15 to $20, but I figured why not get some little ones & wait? They're in a 12" hanging pot and doing very well in my 'seedling zone' under a 250 watt HPS bulb. I *may* put 'em outside this summer... Maybe not. I don't know, depends on how much moving stuff around I feel like doin'.
Anyway, go check pout your local Home Depot, Lowes or OSH.. You might get lucky as they have some unusual stuff sometimes.
Here is a link that might be useful: Variegated Monstera
The plant pictured in Izhar's link above is Monstera deliciosa albomaculata, with "maculata" being a Latin reference to spots, for this plant has the usual albo (white) variegated splotches, plus every leaf is uniformly covered with white spots, too. This plant goes by the name "Philodendron Cheesecake" in some nurseries. I found a pot of it containing two nicely rooted stems in a local nursery just today. They had only one and I snapped it up, having never seen it available here before.
