Allison Park, Pa., assignors to Gulf Research & Development Company, Pittsburgh, Pa. No Drawing. Filed May 26, 1969, Ser. No. 827,920
Int. Cl. C08f 1/08 US. Cl. 26078.5 8 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Maleic anhydride and an aliphatic olefin having from 20 to 30 carbon atoms, such as a mixture of alpha-olefins having from 20 to 30 carbon atoms, are copolymerized in the presence of a free-radical catalyst and a solvent such as a saturated dihalogenated aliphatic liquid hydrocarbon having from one to five carbon atoms, for example propylene dichloride. Enough solvent is employed to solubilize not only the reactants but also the copolymer products. The copolymer is precipitated in a filterable particulate solid form substantially free of monomers by cooling the entire reaction product to a temp rature from about 35 C. to about 55 C. and admixing the cooled reaction product with an aliphatic monohydroxy alcohol having three carbon atoms per molecule, such as n-propanol, while maintaining the desired cool temperature.
This invention relates to the preparation of a copolymer of maleic anhydride and an aliphatic olefin having from 20 to 30 carbon atoms per molecule in a particulate solid form.
The preparation of copolymers of maleic anhydride and various unsaturated monomers, especially ethylene and styrene, is well known in the art. Many of the prior art processes relating to the preparation of maleic anhydride copolymers teach the use of solvents for the reaction which dissolve the maleic anhydride and ethylene, but which are non-solvents for the resulting copolymer so that the copolymer precipitates as a solid during the reaction and is capable of being separated from the reaction mixture by filtration or otherwise. It has been found, however, that in the preparation of a copolymer of maleic anhydride and an aliphatic olefin having 20 to 30 carbon atoms per molecule, the resulting copolymers are very difiicult to obtain in a particulate solid readily filterable form.
It has now been found in accordance with the invention that a copolymer of maleic anhydride and an aliphatic olefin having from 20 to 30 carbon atoms per molecule can be prepared by a process which comprises: copolyme rizing maleic anhydride and at least one of said olefins in the presence of a free-radical catalyst and a solvent for the maleic anhydride, said aliphatic olefin and the resulting copolymer; cooling said copolymer solution to a temperature from about 35 C. to about 55 C.; and while maintaining said temperature admixing said copolymer product while in solution with a monohydoxy aliphatic alcohol having three carbon atoms per molecule, the amount of said alcohol being sufficient and the rate of addition of said copolymer solution being such as to result in the precipitation of the copolymer in a particulate solid form.
The olefinic reactant can be a single olefin or preferably a mixture of two or more olefins having from 20 to 30 carbon atoms per molecule. The preferred olefins are the aliphatic alpha-olefins having from 22 to 28 carbon atoms per molecule. The double bond in the olefinic reactant can be in the beta position, although such olefins are more difficult to copolymerize. The olefins can be obtained from any suitable source, such as the crack- 3,560,455 Patented Feb. 2, 1971 ice ing of wax or other paratfinic-type hydrocarbons, or by the so-called telomerization process wherein a small olefin,
such as ethylene, is reacted in the presence of a metal alkyl, such as aluminum triethyl, to produce higher carbon number olefins or mixtures of higher carbon number olefins. The telomerization process is normally run in a continuous manner, such as in a coil reactor, as described more fully in Ser. No. 608,127 to Fernald et al.,
filed in the United States Patent Ofiice on Jan. 9, 1967,
now issued as US. Pat. No. 3,482,000, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Only even numbered olefinic products, predominantly alpha-olefins are produced; for example, the C through C alpha-olefins useful in the process of this invention can be produced.
Typically, a C to C olefinic fraction is distilled over (with small amounts of C and C olefins) as a reaction product from the telomerization process. This C to C fraction normally contains higher amounts of the C to C olefins so that the average carbon number of the mixture is about C It has been found that this mixture of aliphatic alpha-olefins from the telomerization process is ideally suited for use in the process of this invention.
Examples of suitable olefins include, but are not limited l-eicosene;
or mixtures thereof.
Maleic anhydride is the other reactant used to prepare the desired copolymers by the process of this invention. It is preferred that the maleic anhydride be substantially free of maleic acid. The maleic anhydride will, of course, react with water to form the undesired maleic acid. Commercial maleic anhydride is suitable for use in the process of this invention, but in the event it is exposed to water and thereby becomes contaminated with maleic acid, means should be employed to remove the maleic acid before the maleic anhydride is used in the subject process. One suitable method of purifying the maleic anhydride is to dissolve the maleic anhydride in a liquid, such as benzene, which is a solvent for the maleic anhydride but a non-solvent for the maleic acid. The acid can then be separated by filtration or otherwise and the maleic anhydride recovered by evaporation of the benzene.
The unreacted maleic anhydride is usually the more difficult monomer to remove from the polymer, and therefore it is desirable to react essentially all of the maleic anhydride. Both the rate at which the maleic anhydride reacts and the total conversion of maleic anhydride can be increased by increasing the olefinic reactant concentration relative to the maleic anhydride. The molar ratio of olefin to maleic anhydride can vary between 0.1:1 and :1 with preferred molar ratios between 1:1 and 4:1. Due to the greater reactivity of the vinylidene type olefins, a slightly lower molar ratio can be employed.
The polymerization reaction is a solution-type polymerization wherein the maleic anhydride and olefin monomers are dissolved in a common solvent. The copolymerization can be initiated by any free-radical producing material well known in the art. The preferred free-radical initiators are the peroxide-type polymerization initiators and the azo-type polymerization initiators. Benzoyl peroxide is the most preferred initiator. Radiation can also be used to initiate the reaction, if desired.
The peroxide-type free-radical initiator can be organic or inorganic, the organic peroxides having the general formula:
RqOOR where R, is any organic radical and R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and any organic radical. Both R and R can be organic radicals, preferably hydrocarbon, aroyl, and acyl radicals, carrying, if desired, substituents such as halogens, etc. The most preferred peroxides are diaroyl and diacyl peroxides.
Examples of suitable peroxides, which in no way are limiting, include benzoyl peroxide; lauroyl peroxide; tertiary butyl peroxides; 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl peroxide; tertiary butyl hydroperoxide; cumene hydroperoxide; di acetyl peroxide; acetyl hydroperoxide; diethylperoxycarbonate; tertiary butyl perbenzoate; and the various compounds, such as the perborates.
The azo-type compounds, typified by alpha,alpha-azobisisobutyronitrile, are also well-known free-radical promoting materials. These azo compounds can be defined as those having present in the molecule group -N=N-, wherein the valences are satisfied by organic radicals, at least one of which is preferably attached to a tertiary carbon. Other suitable azo compounds include, but are not limited to, p-bromobenzenediazonium fluoborate; ptolyldiazoaminobenzene; p-bromobenzenediazonium hydroxide; azomethane and the phenyldiazonium halides. A suitable list of azo-type compounds can be found in US. Pat. No. 2,551,813, issued May 8, 1951 to Paul Pinkney.
The amount of initiator to employ, exclusive of radiation, of course, depends to a large extent on the particular initiator chosen, the olefinic charge stock and the reaction conditions. The initiator must, of course, be soluble in the reaction medium. The usual concentrations of intiator are between 0.001:1 and 0.1:1 moles of initiator per mole of maleic anhydride, with preferred amounts between 0.00511 and 0.03:1. In general, the more reactive olefins, such as the vinylidene-type, require smaller amounts of the initiator.
The polymerization temperature must be sufficiently 'high to break down the initiator to produce the desired free-radicals. For example, using benzoyl peroxide as the initiator, the reaction temperature can be between 75 C. and 90 C., preferably between 80 C. and 85 C. Higher and lower temperatures can be employed, a suitable broad range of temperatures being between 20 C. and 200 C., with preferred temperatures between 50 C. and 120 C.
The reaction pressure can be atmospheric or below, but super-atmospheric pressures of up to 1,000 p.s.i.g. or higher can be used. It is preferred to maintain the olefinic reactants in the liquid phase for better contacting. The preferred pressure is, of course, atmospheric pressure.
The reaction time is usually sutficient to result in the substantially complete conversion of the maleic anhydride monomer to copolymer. The reaction time is suitably between 1 and 24 hours, with preferred reaction times between 2 and hours.
The copolymers of this invention generally have inherent viscosities of between 0.05 and 1.5 deciliters per gram. This is measured by dissolving five grams of copolymer in one deciliter of acetone and measuring the inherent viscosities at 25 C. This inherent viscosity is indicative of molecular weight. Copolymers having higher or lower molecular weights, i.e. higher or lower viscosities, can be prepared.
As noted above, the subject reaction is a solutiontype polymerization reaction. The olefin, maleic anhydride, solvent and initiator can be brought together in any suitable manner. The important factors are intimate contact of the olefin and maleic anhydride in the presence of a free-radical producing material. The reaction, for example, can be conducted in a batch system where the olefin is added all initially to a mixture of maleic anhydride, initiator and solvent or the olefin can be added intermittently or continuously to the reaction pot. In another manner, the components in the reaction mixture can be added continuously to a stirred reactor with continuous removal of a portion of the product to a recovery train or to other reactors in series. The reaction can also suitably take place in a coil-type reactor where the components are added at one or more points along the coil.
The reaction solvent, as noted above, must be one which dissolves both the maleic anhydride and the olefinic monomer. It is necessary to dissolve the maleic anhydride and olefinic monomer, so as to bring them into intimate contact in the solution polymerization reaction. It has been found that the solvent must also be one in which the resulting copolymers are soluble, but not so soluble that the copolymers cannot be precipitated out of solution by the addition of the solution to a monohydroxy alcohol having three carbon atoms.
Suitable solvents include liquid saturated or aromatic hydrocarbons having from 6 to 20 carbon atoms, ketones having from 3 to 5 carbon atoms, and liquid saturated aliphatic dihalogenated hydrocarbons having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms per molecule, preferably from 1 to 3 carbon atoms per molecule. By liquid is meant liquid under the conditions of polymerization. In the dihalogenated hydrocarbons, the halogens are preferably on adjacent carbon atoms. By halogen is meant F, Cl and Br. The amount of solvent must be such that it can dissolve the maleic anhydride and olefin monomers in addition to the resulting copolymers. The volume ratio of solvent to olefinic monomer is suitably between 1:1 and :1 and is preferably between 1.5 :1 and 4:1.
The preferred solvents are the saturated hydrocarbons having from 6 to 10 carbon atoms and the saturated dichlorinated hydrocarbons having from 1 to 5, more preferably 1 to 3, carbon atoms.
Examples of suitable solvents include, but are not limited to:
(1) saturated hydrocarbons, such as:
octane; and
isooctane aromatic hydrocarbons, such as: benzene; xylenes; and
toluene saturated dihalogenated hydrocarbons, such as: dichloromethane; dibromomethane; l-bromo-Z-chloro-ethane; 1,1-dibromomethane; 1,1-dichloroethane; 1,2-dichloroethane; 1,3-dibromopropane; 1,2-dibromopropane; 1,2-dibromo-2-methylpropane; 1,2-dichloropropane; 1,1-dichloropropane; 1,3-dichloropropane; l-bromo-2-chloropropane; 1,2-dichlorobutane; 1,5-dibromopentane; and 1,5-dichloropentane (4) ketones, such as: acetone; and methyl ethyl ketone.
The reaction mixture comprising the copolymer, any unreacted monomers and the solvent is then cooled to a temperature from about 35 C. to about 55 C. The cooled reaction mixture is then added to a liquid monohydroxy aliphatic alcohol having three carbon atoms per molecule while maintaining said temperature at a rate such that the copolymer precipitates in a finely divided particulate filterable solid form.
It is critical for the purposes of this invention that the temperature of the reaction mixture being added to the monohydroxy alcohol be maintained from about 35 C. to about 55 C. By operating in this manner the monomers are dissolved in the monohydroxy alcohol but the desired copolymers are precipitated in a finely divided filterable solid form. If the temperature during the precipitation step is permitted to exceed about 55 C., the desired copolymers become sticky and tend to agglomerate into an unwieldy solid mass. If the temperature during the precipitation step is permitted to fall below about 35 C., both the unreacted monomers and the desired copolymers tend to precipitate and thus create additional problems of separation. Thus, if the temperature during the precipitation step is maintained from about 35 C. to about 55 C., the desired copolymers will precipitate in the desired manner while the unreacted monomers will conveniently dissolve in the n-propanol or isopropanol. Most preferably, the temperature during the precipitation step is maintained from about 40 C. to 50 C.
It is preferable to remove any excess solvent before adding the reaction mixture to the alcohol since increased amounts of solvent merely require the use of increased amounts of alcohol to result in the precipitation of the copolymers. Usually the weight ratio of alcohol to sol vent exceeds about 1:1 and is preferably in excess of 2:1. Preferably, a weight ratio of alcohol to solvent of about 4:1 is used, although ratios of :1 to 100:1 or more can be employed if desired. Of course the initial weight ratio of alcohol to solvent may be very, very high if a batch precipitation is used wherein the solvent mixture is added to a large volume of alcohol. A continuous precipitation system can also be employed where a stream of alcohol and a stream of solvent reaction product are simultaneously admitted to a precipitation hold tank in the proper ratios and product is continuously removed.
It has been found that alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and butanol are unsuitable for the precipitation of the maleic anhydride-C C olefin copolymers of this invention. The only alcohols which are suitable are the monohydroxy aliphatic alcohols having three carbon atoms per molecule, i.e. n-propanol and isopropanol.
The manner of admixing the reaction mixture with the nonsolvent alcohol is not critical. The usual procedure is to admix the total reaction mixture from the telomerization reactor after appropriate cooling, as noted above, and including the solvent copolymer, any unreacted monomers and initiator with the non-solvent by pouring at such a rate that the copolymer forms a fine particulate solid suitable for separating by filtration or centrifugation. If the opposite procedure is employed, namely, if the nonsolvent is added to the total reaction mixture even at the appropriate temperature, the copolymer will tend to precipitate in larger size pieces, which are not desirable, but such a procedure of addition can be employed with proper stirring. The non-solvent is preferably stirred Well during the addition of the total reaction mixture.
After the addition of the total reaction mixture to the non-solvent and the precipitation of the particulate solid copolymer, the copolymer is separated from the other components by any suitable means, such as by filtration or centrifugation. By following the process of this invention and using the defined solvent-non-solvent combination, the copolymers are obtained in an easily filterable particulate solid form which has many advantages from the standpoint of ease of drying and handling. After separation of the copolymer solids, the remaining components can be separated by fractionation to recover the solvent, non-solvent and unreacted monomers for recycle. It is, therefore, also preferred to employ a particular solvent-non-solvent combination which is easy to separate by distillation.
The copolymer can be washed with any suitable liquid which can dissolve and thus remove any unreacted monomers. The solvent used in the reaction is suitable. The wash liquid is preferably heated to aid in the washing procedure. While the copolymer may be soluble in the wash liquid, the rate of solution of the copolymer is so much slower than the rate of solution of the monomers that very little of the copolymer is dissolved in the wash liquid. The copolymer can then be dried by any conventional drying procedure to remove any residual solvent and/ or washing liquids.
The copolymer products are essentially a chain of alternate groupings of maleic anhydride and the olefinic monomer reactants, this being true even though much higher or lower ratios of olefin to maleic anhydride than 1:1 were employed. The copolymers are useful for many purposes, including their use as dispersants for pigments, or as intermediates in the preparation of polyesters by their reaction with polyols or polyepoxides.
The invention will be further described with reference to the following specific examples.
A mixture of predominantly aliphatic alpha-olefins having from 22 to 28 carbon atoms per molecule was prepared by the telomerization of ethylene. An analysis of the olefinc mixture is given in Table I below.
TABLE 1 Percent by wt. in Olefin Carbon No.: the mixture C 0.1 C 34.7 C 30.6 C 19.1 0 17.3
A copolymer of maleic anhydride and the above-' described mixture of olefins was prepared by adding 370.3 grams (1.1 moles) of the mixture of olefins to a reaction mixture consisting of 200 grams (1.8 moles) of propylene dichloride (1,2-dichloropropane), 58.8 grams (0.6 mole) of maleic anhydride, and 1.5 grams (0.006 mole) of benzoyl peroxide as the initiator. The addition was made at room temperature and the reaction temperature was increased to between 119 C. and 121 C. (reflux) at a pressure of atomspheric for a reaction time of 4 hours.
The reaction product was a solution of the maleic anhydride-C C olefin copolymer and some unreacted monomers in propylene dichloride. This reaction product was then treated as shown in the following examples.
EXAMPLE 1 25 grams of the reaction product was poured slowly at a temperature of about 45 C. into grams of n-propanol maintained at 45 C. and a finely divided filterable white solid was formed which was easily separated by simple filtration.
EXAMPLE 2 Example 1 is repeated except isopropanol is employed. Substantially the same results are obtained.
EXAMPLE 3 Example 1 was repeated except the temperature was increased to 60 C. No precipitate was formed.
7 EXAMPLE 4 Example 1 was repeated except the temperature during precipitation was 25 C. and both the unreacted monomers and copolymer precipitated.
EXAMPLE 5 Example 1 was repeated except ethanol was used as the precipitating alcohol and both the unreacted monomer and the copolymer precipitated.
EXAMPLE 6 Example 1 was repeated except n-butanol was employed as the precipitating alcohol but no precipitate was obtained.
EXAMPLE 7 Example 1 was repeated except n-pentanol was employed as the precipitating alcohol but no precipitate was obtained.
EXAMPLE 8 Example 1 was repeated except n-hexanol was employed as the precipitating alcohol and no precipitate was obtained.
Resort may be had to such variations and modifications as fall within the spirit of the invention and the scope of the appended claims.

Help choosing machine to monogram baseball hats?
I need to embroider a logo (Japanese calligraphy character) and 10 to 15 letters on baseball caps. I will not be doing more than 20 at a time and usually only 5 or 10. I need an embroidery machine that will allow me to use a custom design...to transfer the drawing of the logo from my computer to the machine. I have never had an embroidery machine and don't know where to even start. I've spent hours on line trying to figure it out! I live in a small town and the only dealer close enuf to provide assistance if I decide to go that route is a Bernina dealer. I do have some sewing experience; clothing, home dec and quilting. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You need a commercial embroidery machine because of the volume of work you are going to be doing and home embroidery machines have a stipulation in their warranties that the machines are not to be used for commercial use, commercial use voids the machine warranty.
Thanks, Stitch. Good point. Maybe I should buy a used machine in that case? I am only going to do a max of 50 all together so can't see buying a commercial machine for so few. Any suggestions on buying a used one and I won't worry about a warranty? Or a reasonably priced one and forgo the warranty?
I have a Bernina that I love and I have the cap attachment for it, but have never used it. You will need a software program for your computer in order to make the designs and put them in your machine for stitching. It's easy to do with the Bernina program that I have, but the machines and the software are quite expensive.

Buying a hot hatch is rather like going to Nandos. You select your hot hatch of choice, then specify exactly how hot you want it to be. It started with the new Golf GTI, and the trend has now moved onto one of its MQB brethren: the Seat Leon Cupra.
Seat's new performance hatch comes with either 261bhp, or 276bhp if you go for the 280 edition (280 stands for the amount of PS). Said power comes from the same two-litre turbocharged petrol engine as the Golf GTI, fettled to eke out more power. 49bhp more to be precise. Which puts the car in the same power range as Vauxhall's potent Astra VXR.
Rowan Horncastle08 January 2014
New Seat Leon Cupra revealed
276bhp hot hatch is the quickest and most powerful Seat ever. Eat that, Vauxhall Astra VXR
Buying a hot hatch is rather like going to Nandos. You select your hot hatch of choice, then specify exactly how hot you want it to be. It started with the new Golf GTI, and the trend has now moved onto one of its MQB brethren: the Seat Leon Cupra.
All this power will send you shooting to 62mph from a standstill in 5.7 seconds and on to a top speed of 155mph. If you spend £1,285 on the optional DSG, that is. If you go for the less powerful model and have it hooked up a manual 'box, you'll do the 0-62mph sprint two tenths slower.
276 horses was always a bit of a struggle for the front wheels of the VXR, where torque steer wanted to spit you into the nearest bush with each prod of the throttle. Seat says it's addressed this with a new mechanical front diff that improves traction, eliminates torque steer and can send up to 100% of the power to one wheel. And if you're feeling brave, there's also the ability to turn the traction control completely off – something you can't do in a Golf GTI.
Visually the car looks a lot angrier than a Golf GTI: large air intakes, angled LED headlights and dual exhausts sprouting out of the rear diffuser. The 280 model comes with bigger titanium paint 19-inch wheels, Cupra lettering on the red brake calipers and an added aero package.
Prices start at £25,690 for the 261bhp version and £26,940 for the more powerful 280 spec. That's the same price as an Astra VXR, but then the Leon comes well equipped with full-LED headlights, DAB radio and automatic wipers and headlights as standard. If the current Leon's anything to go by, it'll be plusher inside, too.
Later in the year we should see a Leon in Nandos worthy 'Extra Hot' form: the Cupra R. Expect 300bhp plus sticky four-wheel-drive.
One fundamental difference between buying a car and a Nandos chicken dinner does remain: you don't get free refills. Luckily, the Cupra does 42.2 mpg.

In 2009, current owner and native Oregonian Chris Peterson revived his family's defunct, nearly 20-year-old roofing business with the decision to make eco-friendly practices the foundation of C.D. Northwest's roof-strengthening services. Chris threw all the know-how he had gained from growing up with the company and the knowledge he accrued earning a degree in business administration into reopening C.D. Northwest's doors. Now, Chris and his small crew of dedicated workers tend to roofs on commercial buildings and residential homes, from bungalows and ranches to three-story Victorians made of glass. That eco-friendly mission has held fast, forming the basis for even the most basic services, such as scouring roofs with a nontoxic cleaning chemical. To keep Mother Nature and karma on its side, the team at C.D. Northwest continually contributes to a variety of charities including Friends of Trees and the SMART program, which aims to teach kids how to read.

Foam Feet Fall Out
Nov 19, 2012
By Jersey Girl "Jersey Girl"
This stamp mount worked wonderfully - for the two times I got to use it before one of the foam feet fell out and disappeared. It is useless without it and too late for me to return it to the store where I bought it. I have contacted the company for another foot, but have yet to hear back. So, if you g it, be careful. Double check th e foam feet and add glue if one or more seems loose.

Surprised by this Martha Stewart Product
Sep 05, 2013
By Ginger
This product was as stated. When using this stamp mount it is hard to ink up a stamp using a full size ink pad. (Such as Memento) The sponge feet get in the way of the ink pad and if you are not paying attention you could get ink on the sponge foot and not notice it. I will be using this with "very small" stamps and a small ink pad such as a dew drop so it doesn't interfere with the sponge feet. I am not sure about the medium/larger mount having the same problem since I do not own that size. The other recommendation is, if you have a thicker cling stamp; then I would be careful when placing it onto your paper before pressing down. Clear stamps work great since there is plenty of clearance between the stamp and paper before pressing down on the mount. Some people commented on losing one of the sponge feet so I checked mine carefully when arrived. So far this has not been an issue. Overall, I will continue to use this since the product was as stated as far as size; however, do not plan on ordering the medium one. So it is an ok product. I think that this was not as thought out as some of Martha Stewart's other products. Especially, since this mount, in essence, would be a staple in your stamping supplies. That said, I have to admit that I own quite a few of her other products which I love and have recommended.

stamp block
Apr 12, 2014
By Kathy Ellwanger
This is a great block for acrylic stamps, it is a good size and has grid lines. The only problem with it is the foam legs, they fall off. I finally glued them in their holes with glossy accent, a very strong glue. The foam isn't quite hard enough because the legs like to go over to the side while stamping, you jut have to keep an eye on that. I use my block all of the time.

Great Product with one defect
Oct 04, 2013
By Amy524
Great Product and Idea, except for one problem, the foam feet fall off . I ordered a second one, because I like the idea and size of the product, except I store it in the packaging or Ziploc bag so I can glue the foam feet back on. The Fiskars Stamp Presses are better made and I have both but I wanted something smaller.

Speed Limit Lowered in Ucon
(UCON, ID) – If you're driving through Ucon this week, you'd better slow down. Beginning this week, a section of Highway 43 will be reduced to 35 miles per hour. The change came after a study by the Idaho Transportation Department concluded that the area was prone to far too many speed-related traffic accidents. Idaho State Police say they'll be closely monitoring the area over the next few days to help motorists get more accustomed to slowing down.

MaxSea fertilizer
Hey RainforestGuy, will MaxSea fertilizer work for neps the same way Growmore will? they are selling it online at california carnivores.
Pitcher numbers can vary from species to species. The alata group has the most persistent pitchers that rarely brown even as the plant progresses. So many factors affect how long a pitcher lasts. High humidity is a key factor. Too wet or too dry variations can also affect pitcher staying power. I have had pitchers from seedling stage all the way to fully developed uppers remain in perfect coloration and appearance right through the plant. This has a lot to do with the plant being well nourished and fertilized with a soluble fertilizer on a regular basis. Plants that are only fed through insect prey usually have the least number of pitchers and rarely have a perfect pitcher while a new one is developing. In other words, the plant is only capable of producing a single pitcher at a time ecause the plant doesn't have enough nutrients to keep and grow new ones. this is not the case in the wild, where a plant can sport dozens of pitchers simultaneously at once.
My N. ventricosa does ok, but not as many as my alata types.
But my ventricosa's are slightly larger than the tc form.
Try putting up an automatic misting system to bring humidity levels higher. I have seen battery operated timers, or even machines that make a mist through a fan to add humidity to the air. Place these on timers that go off for the hottest and driest portions of the day.
Keeping plants and other tropicals in close proximity will also increase humidity.
Yeah, I fertilized my neps this morning and tommorow I am going to flush out the pots of excess salt, then I am just going to have to wait. what do the lower pitchers look like, if you have some? I knew it had some truncata in there, because of the over all look of the pitcher.
I was wondering if you have ever had a Ventrata, and how big the pitchers on mine can get, assuming I grow it right which shouldn't be too hard. because I only have two plants other than the Home Depot one, a ventrata and a ventricosa(I think). Do you know any good sources for seed grown plants?
Ventrata doesn't really get so big, but they can be overwhelming in quantities of pitchers. I once had a small Ventrata in a six inch hanging basket with over a hundred pitchers on it all at one time. Of course this plant had been pruned so there were multiple stems of leaves with many many pitchers on it.
The largest in size was about eight inches.

Topic: This house would end the U.S.'s practice of electronic surveillance being conducted without a warrant.
Should the government discontinue its program of collecting electronic information on persons without a court-issued search warrant? Since 2001, the National Security Agency of the United States of America has collected electronic information on suspicious persons and/or activity without having to show just cause an obtain a court warrant for the information. While the program was shut down temporarily in 2007 due to allegations of privacy violations by the NSA, it was revived in 2008 as the PRISM data collection program (aided by amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act).
Today, the NSA collects massive amounts of data – including mined information requested from Google and Apple – in order to secure the country from the threat of terrorism both at home and abroad. The proposition side, represented by Taylor Fealy and Katelynn Hanek, will argue that the government should end the program. Andrew Carroll and Zachary Hanshaw of the opposition side will argue that the NSA electronic surveillance program ought to continue. The audience will be polled, and the winning team will represent Davis & Elkins College at James Madison University's Madison Cup debates in April.
According to Brent Allen Saindon, D&E Instructor of Communication and Interdisciplinary Studies Coordinator,
"This will be the second public debate held on our campus this academic year. The students have been working hard to develop their skills in argument. The topic is important, timely, and ought to matter to everyone. The venue is ideal. I believe this will be a wonderful, entertaining event for both students and the broader campus community. We hope that you will join us on Wednesday to help determine who will have the opportunity to represent the College next month at James Madison University."

Handling sundried tomatoes?
fatlesterAugust 8, 2005
Dh bought a container of sundried tomatoes.
I don't eat them. Back in the dark ages I used to buy them packed in oil. These are dry and flexi.
I'd like to layer them tomorrow night with the 1/2 mozzarella ciliegine instead of using fresh toms (variation on Lori's spears) since I'll have tomatoes in something else.
Do I put boiling water on them, then oil? Just water? Just oil? What makes them really edible and good?

Persona 4 Golden
Battle of the Babes P4G Finals(for realz): Rise vs. Naoto
Yukiko is my second fav girl in P4 but she's never in any Finals, she's just not that popular. Oh would you look at that, Naoto is winning...big surprise there /sarcasm
At least its not a blowout for once. And for the posts saying Rise has won a few, where did she win? I've never seen one where Rise is even close to winning, let alone actually pulling out a win. This is the closest I've ever seen it though she won't win for the 800th time in a row..lol
wow, what a close match. anyway, Naoto. I'm not into either, but I at least used to be in love with Naoto until I actually played P4G, so she gets my vote.
as for future contests like these, why don't we just disqualify Rise and Naoto from the get-go? They're the most popular girls anyway.
It's like having KH and FF in a best JRPG contest
GT: PhantazyStar | PSN: PhantasyStar23
Japanese Dubs: Raw passion | English Dubs: Actual personality
I really wanted Yukiko to win since shes my favorite girl in the game but my vote is for Naoto.
It's the boobs...
Looks like Naoto is the winner
Just like in real life, the biggest boobs win. Size matters

Not sure why you think that, I voted Naoto, the poll is closed, she was up by 4 when I was awake
PSN: Ahkiva
She shouldn't even be in the finals and she won anyway. Great.
Having the biggest boobs isn't necessary everything. For Rise I feel Laura did a excellent job voicing her, but I don't really like how clingy and straight forward she was towards the MC.

She shouldn't even be in the finals and she won anyway. Great.
Are you seriously being bitter about the results? Shoulda, coulda, woulda, but guess what? She IS in the finals, and she won. Get over it.

Well tbh, the only reason she's in the finals is because TC changed the rules at the last minute because Marie was winning and he didn't want that. He just admitted to voting for Naoto so it makes it clear that he only did that so he could get Naoto in the final but it doesn't really matter. Rise always loses and I'm fine with it. Reminds me of when he spazzed out over Chie beating Margaret (twice for that matter after he did a revote)...lol I'd be down with the suggestion to disqualify Rise (even though she's my fav) and Naoto though since honestly, I've never seen a final that isn't Naoto beating Rise and it makes for boring 'drama'. The pre-final battles are always more interesting when it comes to P4 anyways because of it.

Spirituality of the Readings
The Epiphany of the Lord
January 4, 2015
Into the Hands of Love
On this Epiphany Sunday we hear a classic story about innocence in the midst of evil, innocence betrayed by those who should have cared.
The Gospel begins by referring to the fact that the guiltless child has been born. Angels in their rapture painted the sky with song. Shepherds heard and came a-running. The star pulled magi out of far lands to come and see. A beautiful, humble scene, giving such joy to all created beings.
Or at least to most of them. Our story contains another reaction as well. Jealousy. Herod feels a spasm of it when the magi ask their simple, trusting question.
"Where is the newborn king of the Jews?
We saw his star at its rising
and have come to do him homage."
"Where is the newborn king of the Jews?
We saw his star at its rising
and have come to do him homage."
Newborn king? Star rising? Herod, like the magi, should have been filled with joy at this news. But no. Instead, he is "greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him." I suppose it would be like envoys from outer space visiting the White House to tell the president that they had selected someone new to take his place.
Cunning Herod does not show his distress to the magi but instead hatches a plan. He had never been very interested in his people, so now he seeks information. He rushes the Jewish chief priests and scribes together and demands to know where this Messiah person is supposed to be born.
Herod acts quickly. He oils his way back to the magi and treats them to the story about Bethlehem. He oozes charm, luring them into returning to him with information about the child. He wants to give homage too, he lies. In truth, Herod's aim is simple: get rid of the competition.
The magi travel on to Bethlehem and give true homage to Jesus. Herod finds out nothing from them because they go back home by a different route, warned by God in a dream.
That is the story. What are we to learn from it?
For myself, I wonder if you and I can retain something of innocence in today's world? If "darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds cover the peoples" (First Reading), maybe Herod's plan is the only smart way out. Lie, cheat, and kill.
Isn't the Church today a sinful body? Isn't the world steeped in self interest? What makes us so sure we would not follow Herod's example in detail if the opportunity presented itself? Where is our hope?
You will find it in the First Reading. Yes it is dark, that reading says, but light shines into the darkness. If we bother to look at that light, at that child in a manger, we will take on some of the Godly glow we find there. Our lives will settle down and our goals will become simpler. By putting ourselves into the hands of love, Christ's light will stay alight, sheltered like a candle in the wind.

The company once again once again sponsored two scholarships through the entomology department of Purdue University.
TWINSBURG, OHIO – In keeping with its mission of supporting the professionalism of the pest management industry through useful, environmentally conscious tools and pest education, J.T. Eaton & Co. once again sponsored two scholarships through the entomology department of Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind.
Mahsa Fardisi and Steven Smith have been named this year's recipients of the Twinsburg-based manufacturer's scholarships. Fardisi, who received a $1,500 scholarship, is a graduate student from Shiraz, Iran. Smith, an undergraduate student from Bluffton, Ind., received a $1,000 scholarship.
Both students were presented with their scholarships during the recent Purdue Pest Control Conference Banquet at the Purdue University campus in West Lafayette, Ind.
"We believe that Purdue has one of the strongest entomology programs in the country, and its students in turn become quality professionals who truly care about not only their customers, but the environment," says Dale Baker, vice president of J.T. Eaton. "We consider it an honor to support the program, because it does a great deal to advance the professionalism of the industry."
Casey Parker recently won the ONE WORLD competition, organized by the UF College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Challenge 2050 Project in conjunction with the Syngenta Good Growth Plan.
During its meeting in Washington, D.C., on March 14, the National Pest Management Association's (NPMA) Board of Directors approved the organization's Pollinator Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Featuring a "Who's Who" of speakers with decades of experience serving the commercial pest management segment, the April 29 virtual event is filled with information you need to know to expand your presence in this dynamic marketplace. Cost is only $99 and attendees will receive full access to all of the educational sessions and a complimentary copy of the highly-acclaimed PCT Guide to Commercial Pest Management, a $29.95 value!
PMPs can put EcoRaider to the test in their own field applications.
Terminix released its annual ranking of the most termite-infested cities in the country. Cities in California and Texas dominated the list, earning six of the top 10 spots.

Song: "All You Do Is Talk"
Artist: Kopecky Family Band
Label: ATO Records
Directed, Filmed, Edited, and Special Effects: Stephanie Watters
This is the music video for the song "All You Do Is Talk" originally by the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and masterfully covered by the Kopecky Family Band. It was meant to convey a "day in the life" of KFB and to give the fans a "behind-the-scenes" look at their pre-show rituals. It was shot in one afternoon/evening near and around Boulder, Colorado and at The Fox Theater (Boulder). I used a Canon 7D; 50mm & 35mm lenses; Final Cut Pro X, mVintage, and Neat Video for all production & post-production work. This was my first attempt to capture & sync slow motion footage.
