This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 598,166 filed July 22, 1975, and now abandoned, which application is a continuation of application 203,034 filed Nov. 29, 1971, and now abandoned.
Distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite has been prepared in the past as a waxy, non-friable solid. It contained some triphenyl phosphite and other phenoxy groups. Because of the presence of phenolic material in the product, it has encountered food and drug problems. Also its waxy nature renders it difficult to handle and to blend in polymeric systems. Typical methods of preparing such a waxy distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite are disclosed, for example, in Gould U.S. Pat. No. 2,961,454, Friedman U.S. Pat. No. 3,047,608, and Hechenbleikner U.S. Pat. No. 3,205,250.
It has now been found that distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite can be prepared as a non-waxy friable, colorless, hard, dry solid with a very low odor, having a solidification point of 55�-60� C. It can be readily ground to a free flowing, non-caking white powder, e.g. of 200 mesh size or less.
The distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite of the present invention is prepared by reacting diphenyl pentaerythritol diphosphite with stearyl alcohol in an excess of at least 10% molar excess. The excess stearyl alcohol can be 50% or even 100% on a molar basis. The distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite can also be prepared by reacting pentaerythritol, triphenyl phosphite and stearyl alcohol, using the same amount of excess stearyl alcohol. There can be used any conventional phosphite esterification catalyst, preferably an alkaline catalyst such as sodium methylate, sodium decylate, sodium octadecylate, potassium methylate, metallic sodium, sodium hydrate, sodium phenolate, etc. The catalyst can be employed in conventional amounts, e.g. 0.1-5% by weight.
The product prepared in the present invention consists of 85-90% distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite, 5-10% stearyl alcohol and traces of tripentaerythritol tetraphosphite and tristearyl phosphite as incidental impurities.
The distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite composition of the present invention is useful wherever the known distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite is used and has the advantages of being able to be ground to a free flowing powder, being free of phenolic odor and especially having advantages due to its extremely low toxicity for food and drug application. In chick embryo tests the distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite of the invention exhibits no toxicity. Also, there was no LD50 at 10 grams/kilogram of body weight in tests on rats.
The distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite composition of the present invention prevents processing degradation of olefin and vinyl halide polymers in the melt and exhibits synergistic stability with ultraviolet light stabilizers, e.g. benzophenones such as 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone, 2, 21 -dihydroxy-4-methoxy benzophenone, 2, 21 -dihydroxy-4-n-octoxy benzophenone, and 2-hydroxy 4-n-octoxy benzophenone, benzotriazoles, e.g. 2(21 -hydroxy-51 -methyl phenol) benzotriazoles, etc.
Previously excess stearyl alcohol was not employed in preparing distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite, possibly because it was believed that the use of excess stearyl alcohol would cause the formation of polymers and other types of stearyl pentaerythritol phosphites.
When the distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite compositions of the invention are used to stabilize polymers, they are used in an amount of 0.005 to 10 parts per 100 parts of polymer. Usually they are used in olefin polymers in an amount of 0.05-1%, preferably 0.1-0.5%, and with vinyl halide polymers in an amount of 0.2-1.0%.
The distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphite compositions can be used as heat and light stabilizers for resins made from vinylidene compounds such as vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, vinyl chloroacetate, chlorostyrenes, vinyl bromide and chlorobutadienes.
Such vinylidene compounds may be polymerized alone or in admixture with each other or with vinylidene compounds free from halogen. Among the halogen free materials which can be copolymerized with the halogen containing vinylidene compounds, e.g. vinyl chloride, are vinyl esters of carboxylic acids, e.g. vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, vinyl butyrate and vinyl benzoate, esters of unsaturated acids, e.g. alkyl and alkenyl acrylates such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate and allyl acrylate as well as the corresponding methacrylates, e.g. methyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate, vinyl aromatic compounds, e.g. styrene, p-ethyl styrene, divinyl benzene, vinyl naphthalene, x-methyl styrene, p-methyl styrene, dienes such as butadiene and isoprene, unsaturated amides such as acrylamide, methacrylamide and acrylanilide and the esters of α, β-unsaturated carboxylic acids, e.g. the methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, allyl, methallyl and phenyl esters of maleic, crotonic, itaconic and fumaric acids and the like. Specific examples of such esters are diethyl maleate, dibutyl maleate and dibutyl fumarate.
The copolymers in which at least 50% of the copolymer is made from a halogen containing vinylidene compound such as vinyl chloride are preferably treated according to the invention.
The stabilizers of the present invention are also effective when intimately mixed with halogen containing resin in which part or all of the halogen is introduced into a preformed resin, e.g. chlorinated polyvinyl acetate, chlorinated polystyrene, chlorinated polyethylene, chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, chlorinated natural and synthetic rubbers and rubber hydrochloride.
Typical examples of copolymers include vinyl, chloridevinyl acetate (95:5 weight ratio), vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate (87:13 weight ratio), vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate-maleic anhydride (86:13:1 weight ratio), vinyl chloride-vinylidene chloride (95:5 weight ratio), vinyl chloride-diethyl fumarate (95:5 weight ratio), vinyl chloride-trichloroethylene (95:5 weight ratio).
The resin, e.g. polyvinyl chloride, can either be plasticized or unplasticized. As the plasticizer there can be employed conventional materials such as dioctyl phthalate, octyl decyl phthalate, tricresyl phosphate, 2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate, dodecyl dicresyl phosphate, tributyl acetyl citrate, dioctyl sebacate, dibutyl sebacate, etc. The plasticizer is used in conventional amount, e.g. 10 to 100 parts for each 100 parts of the vinyl chloride containing resin.
There can also be incorporated 0.1 to 10 parts per 100 parts of the halogen containing resin of a metal salt stabilizer. Thus, there can be used barium, strontium, calcium, cadmium, zinc, lead, tin, magnesium, cobalt, nickel, titanium and aluminum salts of phenols, aromatic carboxylic acids, fatty acids and epoxy fatty acids.
Examples of suitable salts include barium di(nonylphenolate), strontium di(nonylphenolate), strontium di(amylphenolate), barium di(octylphenolate), strontium di(octylphenolate), barium di(nonyl-o-cresolate), lead di(octylphenolate), cadmium-2-ethylhexoate, cadmium laurate, cadmium stearate, zinc caprylate, cadmium caproate, barium stearate, barium 2-ethylhexoate, barium laurate, barium ricinoleate, lead stearate, aluminum stearate, magnesium stearate, calcium octoate, calcium stearate, cadmium naphthenate, zinc stearate, zinc octoate, cadmium benzoate, cadmium p-tert butylbenzoate, barium octyl salicylate, cadmium epoxy stearate, strontium epoxy stearate, cadmium salt of epoxidized acids of soybean oil, and lead epoxy stearate. For food grade uses non-toxic stabilizers should be used such as the calcium and zinc salts.
In plastisol formulations there is preferably also included from 0.1 to 10 parts per 100 parts of resin of an epoxy vegetable oil such as epoxidized soybean oil or epoxidized tall oil.
The stabilizers of the present invention are particularly effective as color stabilizers and melt flow stabilizers for olefin polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene propylene copolymers (e. g. 50:50, 80:20 and 20:80), ethylene-monoolefin copolymers wherein the monoolefin has 4-10 carbon atoms and is present in a minor amount, e.g. ethylene-butene-1 copolymer (95:5) and ethylene-decene-1 copolymer (90:10). Furthermore, they can be used to stabilize natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR rubber), e.g. (75% butadiene-25% styrene), EPDM rubbers, ABS terpolymers (e.g. 20-30% acrylonitrile, 20-30% butadiene, 40-60% styrene), polyisoprene, polybutadiene, styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers butyl rubber, polyacrylonitrile and acrylonitrile copolymers (e.g. acrylonitrile-vinyl chloride 85:15), polystyrene, impact modified polystyrene, butadiene acrylonitrile (e.g. 60:40); polymerized acrylates and methacrylate, e.g. polymethyl acrylate polymethyl methacrylates and polybutyl acrylate, polyacetals, e.g. polyoxymethylene polymers (e.g. Delrin and Celcon), polycarbonates (e.g. bisphenol A-carbonate polymer), polysulfones, polyphenyleneoxides, phenoxy resins, epoxy resins, A-epichlor-hydrin, nylon, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate-propionate, cellulose acetate-butyrate, cellulose nitrate, ethyl cellulose, linear polyesters, e.g. polyethylene terephthalate (Dacron, Mylar), unsaturated polyesters, e.g. vinyl compounds modified alkyds such as ethylene glycol phthalate-maleate modified with styrene or diallyl phthalate, oil modified alkyd resins, e.g. soybean oil-glyceryl phthalate resin, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, polyurethanes (e.g. toluene diisocyanate reaction products with polypropylene glycol molecular weight 2025 or with glycerine-ethylene oxide adduct having a hydroxyl number of 56.
As the EPDM rubber there can be employed many of the commercially available EPDM rubbers. The EPDM rubber normally contains 30 to 70 molar percent (preferably 50 to 60 molar percent) of ethylene, 65 to 20 molar percent (preferably 35 to 45 molar percent) propylene and 1 to 15 molar percent (preferably 3 to 5 molar percent) of the nonconjugated polyolefin. Usually the polyolefin is not over 10 molar percent. The ethylene and propylene can each be 5 to 95 molar percent of the composition.
As used in the present specification and claims, the term nonconjugated polyolefin includes aliphatic nonconjugated polyene hydrocarbons and cycloaliphatic nonconjugated polyene hydrocarbons, e.g. endocyclic dienes.

Another suitable terpolymer is the one containing 50 mole percent ethylene, 47 mole percent propylene and 3 mole percent 1,5-cyclooctadiene (Dutrel).
Examples of EPDM rubbers are given in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,933,480; 3,000,866; 3,063,973; 3,093,620; 3,093,621, and 3,136,739, in British Pat. No. 880,904 and in Belgian Pat. No. 623,698.

Hi minnie,
Great shot. I have the same cat statue as you - I 've had it well over 25 years. It's so realistic some people when they come in the house for the first time are startled, thinking it's real & might attack!
I had a collection for some time of cat statues, then finally quit, giving away many & sent others to the thrift store, but this one is a favorite & I'll always keep it.

I want to unwind a x64 callstack, so I'm trying to follow the "UNWIND procedure" I found here:
I understand that if the RIP is in the epilog, we need to compute the offset of the RSP considering the operations still needed to be done, but it's unclear to me how to find out if the RIP is in the epilog or not (in section 3.a)?
Can somebody explain this to me? (a link or code example will be also greatly appreciated)

In a major break-through, police have arrested a person, who was allegedly behind the bogus pattas racket that became a menace to the administration in Ongole and adjoining panchayats.
Following instructions from District Collector Kantilal Dande and Superintendent of Police V Navinchand, revenue, police and municipal officials swooped on the house of one Palakiti Malakondaiah at Vura tank adjacent to modern vegetable market late last night and seized bundles of house-site pattas ready for distribution bearing the 'signatures' and 'seals' of Tehsildars of Ongole and Santanutalapadu.
All that one had to do was to fill up the blanks like beneficiary name, survey number of land and boundaries of the plot.
Police arrested him on charges of forgery and cheating.
According to officials, the accused used to identify government waste land in and around Ongole town, prepare a lay-out and sell the house-site plots to gullible persons.
Officials bewildered
The fake pattas have been bewildering the officials.
The officials allotted one acre of land in Vura tank for construction of an auditorium and got the foundation stone laid by the then Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy in 2005.
But they found to their dismay that the land was already occupied by hut-dwellers, who contended that the officials had issued house-site pattas to them.
The beneficiaries went to court and stalled the auditorium work.
The officials found themselves in a piquant situation.
The then Collector, K Devanand, had to allot alternative land for auditorium to expedite its construction.
Similarly, Acharya Nagarjuna University efforts to start post-graduate centre at Pernamitta near Ongole came to a naught as the land allotted to it was found to be in the possession of some hut-dwellers with fake pattas.
The officials hope to break the mystery shrouding the house-site patta racket in Ongole town with the arrest of Malakondaiah.

Guess What I'm Up To?
Allow me to share a few hints: y-e-l-l-o-w-d-o-o-r
Yup, I'm painting our front door the happiest of shades: rain boot yellow! That's not the real name of the paint swatch that we settled on, I just think it's the perfect way to describe the glossy sunny yellow that we chose.
I was hoping to share some after pics, but alas, this is real life and all the prep work took longer than I thought. Boo.
The good news is that I'm done with the drilling, the spackling, the sanding, and the deglossing. So all that general readying stuff is out of the way. And if all goes well I'll be back with a ton of deets and photos of the entire took-longer-than-I-thought process as soon as the paint's dry enough to photograph (the goal is sometime this afternoon).
Oh and in random yellow door news, guess what color we painted our first house's front door in May of 2006?
Wait… why are you scrolling? You have to guess first…
… I wonder what color you're going to guess…
… I'm just putting words here so you don't see the answer before you can guess…
… words…
… words…
… words…
… words…
… words…
… more words …
… even more words…
… word…
…ok, now you can scroll…
Yup, it was a very similar happy yellow color. And we loved it gobs more than the glossy black look that we later went with…
… and it was probably tied with the bold fire engine red door that we ended up with after a paint/hardware makeover here and a big porch makeover here.
For some strange reason we just couldn't see the front door of our new house being any other color than bright sunny yellow, especially when we held up a ton of other swatches and felt nothing but blah. So yellow it is. Here's hoping my little door makeover will help us build curb appeal momentum since there are about 500 other things we'd love to tackle outside. Especially since you can hardly see our door from the street these days thanks to the jungle that is our front yard. Le sigh.
Have you painted a front door four times in five years like me? Have you gone back to the first color you chose as if it were "the one"? Are you wondering why we only buy brick ranches with monkey grass and walls of shrubbery? I'm beginning to sense a pattern…
Psst- I'm revealing an admittedly very odd post pregnancy secret over on BabyCenter today. Can somebody tell me I'm normal? Maybe not…

I love the yellow! Very welcoming and sunny! Can't wait to see the outcome! We recently stripped 51 years of paint off our oak front door– about 10+ layers in all and stained it ebony to match our hardwood floors. My boyfriend spent over 20 hours on the project, but the work was totally worth it!
Welcome to the yellow door club!!! We have double front doors and when we repainted our peachy-pink trimmed brick house (yes, it was as gross as it sounds!) white with blue shutters I knew I wanted cheery yellow doors. They have gotten mixed reviews from the neighbors (some a little older, if ya know what I mean…) Hey, did you park a school bus in front of your house? or Is that primer? haha! All my friends love it and I'm so glad we did it!!!
Good luck. I'm sure they will be beautiful!
Hi Sherry and John!
We just painted our front door a bright, "in yo' face"," you can see us 20 miles away" yellow, and we love it! It really does make it easier to find on our street. I can't wait to see your finish product, no doubt it will be fantastic!!
Can't wait to see how it goes!
This might be a stupid question but are you also going to paint the inside part of the door yellow?
In my family room we have a door that leads outside and it's so blah as just plain white that I'm considering painting it a fun color but wasn't sure if you do both sides typically?
The interior side of my front door was white (well really cream) for 6 yrs. I just painted it black and I LOVE it!
I did the same thing! Painted my front and back door a rich chocolate brown and did both sides. I LOVE IT!!
I think it's so funny how all except one of the pictures you chose have symmetrical plants on either side of the door! Are you guys wanting that look as well…maybe subconsciously hinting? Love the colour.
OMG! Jealous you had the balls to do it, Last year when we painted our bungalow I wanted to paint our red door to yellow. I asked everyone what they thought and nobody responded favorably. The colors I picked matched my aveda shampoo bottle and I just knew a yellow door would be perfect. Oh well..yours looks great!
I'm a red front door kinda gal. I've done two of them now and they just make me smile.
Actually, something about a bright, welcoming front door, period, makes me smile. Can't wait to see the yellow!
I've fallen in love with yellow lately. It seems that all things yellow today are expensive though – so paint is probably the best option to turn things yellow! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
I've painted our front door 3 colors in 3 years. Right now it's a dark turquoise that I love and am planning on keeping for a while!
Ha, I thought you were thinking of house numbers since all of those in the pics were pretty cool. I have pregnancy brain.
I was thinking of the numbers at first too! How could we have both missed the yellow? Hello!
Yellow sounds like a great color for your door! Looking forward to seeing the "after" pics. It's funny you post this, because I am also going to be painting our front door this weekend, but in red! I will definitely be reading your how-to's before I begin. We also have a jungle of yard (looks ALOT like yours!), but luckily in the back where only we can see it. I can't wait to see what you guys do so I can get some guidance!
Thanks for all the great ideas…keep them coming!
Yellow outside, grellow inside – your faces will ache from all those happy smiles! I can just picture some yellow daffodils peeking out from that monkey grass. (Nearly 5000 entries for you giveaway?!! Huge!)
The door project always takes longer than you think! We worked on ours earlier this year and I think we started off with a similar colour…Yellow will look great!
I won't lie, I'm very glad you're doing this; the 2nd project I have planned when we move into our first house is painting the original front door (1940s) a bold rich green colour. I am looking forward to reading your how-to.
Love the yellow! I also love all of the modern house numbers on those samples you shared. I wonder where I can get some of those? We just painted our door glossy black to match our shutters. http://thehappyhomebodies.blogspot.com/2011/08/glossy-black-front-door.html
Have you given any thought to painting your interior doors for a pop of color? I'm contemplating doing that in our house, and I've seen some really great yellow and turquoise interior doors on Pinterest.
Jordan! We are thinking along the same lines. I painted our interior door turquoise and found some fab modern house numbers at Home Depot of all places. You can see both in this post:
Also, here's a round up of some great mod house numbers. They can get pricey though, which is why we ended up at Home Depot.
Your black door looks slick and gorgeous!
Home Depot has some for around $4-5/pop. We put them on our mailbox- they came in brushed nickel and ORB.
Sherry – I saw this interior painted kitchen door recently & thought it was gorgeous! (Maybe you've seen it). DIYDiva.net referred the link on her 8-12-11 post (luv her blog – she's ridiculously talented & very funny):
Perhaps you could somehow incorporate a beautiful interior door color, too, somewhere in your home? Oh, and do you plan to install a pretty door knocker on your yellow door? How classy are those?! :)
we recently had our front door painted (along with the rest of the house, which is why i didn't do it) BM's radiccio, you can see it here: http://oliveourhouse.blogspot.com/2011/08/while-ago-i-came-across-this-door.html
the inside of the front door is teal. and the back door (inside) is also radiccio, after a brief stint as golden rod.
in short, painting doors is awesome.
It will look amazing! Our current door is black but due to scratches, dog related scratches, we can tell it used to be a horrible purple color. We're debating on getting a new door – what color would go with pink/coral brick and a brownish roof??!!
I love brightly colored front door. I have big plans for my front door too, I'm going to go with a bright almost lime green(a color my dad always calls "Libby Green" because it is one of my favorite colors in all the world). Your door is going to look great!
What fun! Love it.
LOVE! Makes me want to paint our front door!!
We have a similar brick ranch and struggled what to do with our huge garage door (that we kept even though we made the garage part of the house)& front door. We decided to go with wood and had them custom made for our house. Beautiful!Now we just need some 'cooler" house numbers and a "fancier" doorknob/handle.
This could be really spectacular. Make it work!
I love yellow doors and Tim Gunn!
Can't wait to see how it turned out! I love bright colored doors. SO fun. :)
i live in a condo so i can't paint my front door, boo! but we did paint the inside of our door Dazzling Daffodil by Glidden and we LOVE it. it makes us happy every time we shut the door. and we are painting the back of two bookcases the same color. so warm and happy!
I was just lamenting the fact that we live in a condo and can't paint our door. It never occurred to me to paint the *inside* of the door! Now I'm all excited…
I also live in a condo, and can't paint the outside (although I guess I can't complain too much since they asked me to pick the colors for the building). But anyway, I also painted the inside of my door a few days ago. I went with orange!! And I love, love, LOVE it!

Builder Confidence Remains in Holding Pattern
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
May 15, 2014 - Builder confidence in the market for newly built, single-family homes in May fell one point to 45 from a downwardly revised April reading of 46 on the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) released today.
"After four months in which the HMI has shown little signs of fluctuation, it is clear that builder sentiment is becoming more in line with the market reality of a continuing but modest recovery," said NAHB Chairman Kevin Kelly, a home builder and developer from Wilmington, Del. "However, builders expressed some optimism that sales will pick up in the coming months."
"Builders are waiting for consumers to feel more secure about their financial situation," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "Once job growth becomes more consistent, consumers will return to the market in larger numbers and that will boost builder confidence."
Derived from a monthly survey that NAHB has been conducting for 30 years, the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index gauges builder perceptions of current single-family home sales and sales expectations for the next six months as "good," "fair" or "poor." The survey also asks builders to rate traffic of prospective buyers as "high to very high," "average" or "low to very low." Scores for each component are then used to calculate a seasonally adjusted index where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor.
The index's components were mixed in May. The component gauging sales expectations in the next six months rose one point to 57 and the component measuring buyer traffic increased two points to 33. The component gauging current sales conditions fell two points to 48.
Looking at the three-month moving averages for regional HMI scores, the South rose one point to 48 while the Midwest fell a single point to 47 and the West posted a four-point drop to 47. The Northeast held steady at 33.

Roky Erickson has been a cult hero for so long that even the albums that introduced the Austin-based psychedelic survivor to an enthralled post-punk audience back in the 1980s are ready to be discovered by a new generation. The estimable reissue label Light in the Attic Records has revived Erickson's three 1980s releases, The Evil One, Don't Slander Me, and Gremlins Take Pictures, as CDs, downloads, and vinyl LPs that look and sound worlds better than their original incarnations.
Unfamiliar with Roky Erickson's fascinating, tragic and ultimately uplifting story? Here's what you need to know.
He Wrote A Garage Rock Classic
Roky first gained notice as the lead singer in one of the psychedelic era's most notorious bands, The 13th Floor Elevators. Their albums -- most notably 1966's The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators and 1967's Easter Everywhere -- are legendary for openly proselytizing for the use of hallucinogenic drugs. But the Elevators' first single (and all-time best song) is an Erickson-penned snotty little teenage kiss-off called "You're Gonna Miss Me" that's closer in spirit to the likes of "96 Tears" or "Dirty Water." That song kept the band's name alive when Lenny Kaye included it on the classic proto-punk compilation Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era in 1972, where generations of new garage rock fans first discovered Erickson.
He Made A Really Tragic Choice
Although it was the Elevators' guitarist and primary songwriter Stacy Sutherland who was the driving force behind the band's pro-hallucinogenics stand, that outspokenness made the entire band targets as far as Texas law enforcement was concerned. So when Erickson was arrested holding a single joint in 1969, he decided to plead insanity in an effort to avoid a potential decade in jail. Unfortunately, his three-year stint in a Texas mental hospital, which included heavy doses of both electro-shock treatments and anti-psychotic medications, left Erickson -- who had had brief episodes of mental illness prior to being committed -- far more mentally and emotionally damaged than he had been when he went in.
He Was A Post-Punk Cult Hero
One of the less attractive elements of the indie rock underground is that sometimes artists attract audiences more for their obviously unbalanced mental state (Daniel Johnston and the late Wesley Willis being two obvious examples) than for their actual music. While there's no question that some of Erickson's latter-day fans were attracted by the "Hey, lookit the crazy guy!" aspect of his story, the albums that Light In The Attic has just reissued stand up on their own musical merits. The Evil One (1981) most strongly features Erickson's lyrical obsessions of that era, religious parables doused with creepy horror-movie imagery of zombies, werewolves and vampires. Don't Slander Me (1984) is his most straightforwardly rocking effort and includes the glorious "Starry Eyes," an utterly sincere power pop love song that sounds like the best single Buddy Holly never wrote. The patchwork Gremlins Have Pictures (1986) was gathered from live tracks and demos covering nearly a decade and is the hardest listen of the lot, both for its lo-fi sound and the clear evidence of Erickson's steadily-worsening mental state in the fragmented songs. Still, even it contains the sterling live track "Song For Abe Lincoln," a cockeyed optimist's lyric set to one of the catchiest tunes he'd ever written.
He Got Worse...A Lot Worse
In the 1980s, Erickson announced that his body had been inhabited by an alien, and even got a notarized statement to that effect. Diagnosed as schizophrenic, Erickson lost interest in music by the late '80s, and at the turn of the 1990s spent a stint in prison on mail theft charges that were eventually dismissed. During this period, a longtime fan who worked for Warner Brothers Records created the 1990 compilation Where The Pyramid Meets The Eye: A Tribute To Roky Erickson. Long out of print but easily available online, the set includes tracks by friends and fans including ZZ Top, R.E.M., T-Bone Burnett, Julian Cope and The Jesus and Mary Chain, not to mention now-obscure college rockers of the time like The Judybats, Thin White Rope and Poi Dog Pondering. The album both contributed royalties to Erickson's all-but-depleted coffers and introduced him to the burgeoning alternative rock scene.
And Now He's A Lot Better
In 2001, Roky Erickson's youngest brother Sumner petitioned to take over his sibling's guardianship due to the declining mental and physical state of their mother. With his mental illness more carefully managed thanks to that change and advances in medication, Roky Erickson returned to an almost-normal life that included live performances and, in 2010, a well-received comeback album, True Love Cast Out All Evil, with the help of fellow Austinites Okkervil River. A promo interview of Roky by Okkervil River frontman Will Sheff from that era shows an alert, witty, intelligent and introspective man in late middle age (he turned 66 in July) who more than possibly anyone else deserves the clichéd term rock and roll survivor.

amazing that its been 4 or 5 years since i was really into these books and the next one's still not out...dude isn't gonna finish the series is he :(
it's definitely good tv series material though if they're willing to run it out long enough and don't try to cram each book into a single season (the 3rd book alone is like as long as the entire lord of the rings iirc)

you think they ought to make it longer? u mad

not necessarily make it longer, just not do 1 book = 1 season when the books are of varying length and plot complexity (4th book could be cut down by a ton for example to make room for more stuff from the 3rd book)

They could just do more episodes for the season w/ the 3rd book. I don't see how they could split it up though.

perdido street station feels basically like a miniseries already! which is unfortunate in that the other bas-lag stuff wouldn't really work as further series of.

Wasn't the guy in the first scene of the trailer also in the Lord of the Ring movies? I guess all "serious" fantasy movies/series now have to look kinda murky with muted colours, since LotR did that. Will anyone make a colourful fantasy movie anymore?

yeah thats sean bean... ive been reading the first book and im not a fantasy guy at all but its p. good... a lot of the early parts of the story take place in a wintery shithole, which limits your color choices... plus its kind of 'gritty' fantasy and they wanna convey that style/mood...
lotr movies were pretty colorful imo, like that part where they're in elfburg and the dwarf goes AND U HAVE MY AXE... lots of stuff actually... its just the color palette changes depending on context... i mean what do you want dude, rainbows over mount doom..

Well, not necessarily, of course it depends on the story... It's just that every recent live action fantasy seems to have had a similar muted colour palette as LotR, as if gritty fantasy was suddenly the only choice. For example, based on the trailer the Avatar The Last Airbender movie has the same kind of look even though the source material is actually quite colourful and fun.

have you read the books? if there is one story that needs to look "gritty", it's this one.

God, I hope not. To me the best way to do it would be to break it down and rearrange in a linear timeline. Jump around between characters, like any good television drama with a ton of characters tends to do.

Could go either way; the showrunners are certainly less self-indulgent than George, but they've yet to prove they can come up with the same calibre of concepts and twists.

Luckily, we've been talking about this with George for a long time, ever since we saw this could happen, and we know where things are heading. And so we'll eventually, basically, meet up at pretty much the same place where George is going; there might be a few deviations along the route, but we're heading towards the same destination. I kind of wish that there were some things we didn't have to spoil, but we're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. The show must go on ... and that's what we're going to do.
I'm glad. The show is much better than the books. Now Martin can focus on the plot twists and not waste his time embedding them in thousands of pages of purple prose

I have not got a clue about George RR Martin's politics, if any, but flags get waved in his books while he writes about hard times. He is no craven, and the recitation of beheadings and other problems always seems punctuated by a bleak, dire warning: "Winter is coming."

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Joseph is now the ruler of Egypt. The famine he predicted has come to pass. It extends beyond Egypt to the land of Canaan. Seeking to buy food, Joseph's brothers make the journey to Egypt. They arrive at the palace of the man in charge of grain distribution:
"Now Joseph was governor of all Egypt, and it was he who sold the corn to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came and bowed to the ground before him. Joseph recognized his brothers as soon as he saw them, but he behaved like a stranger and spoke harshly to them … Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him" (Genesis 42:6-8).
We owe to Robert Alter the idea of a type-scene, a drama enacted several times with variations; and these are particularly in evidence in the book of Bereishit. There is no universal rule as to how to decode the significance of a type-scene. One example is boy-meets-girl-at-well, an encounter that takes places three times: between Abraham's servant and Rebecca, Jacob and Rachel, and Moses and the daughters of Jethro. Here, the setting is probably not significant (wells are where strangers met in those days, like the water-dispenser in an office). What we must attend to in these three episodes is their variations: Rebecca's activism, Jacob's show of strength, and Moses's passion for justice. How people act toward strangers at a well is, in other words, a test of their character. In some cases, however, a type-scene seems to indicate a recurring theme. That is the case here. If we are to understand what is at stake in the meeting between Joseph and his brothers, we have to set aside three other episodes, all of which occur in Bereishit.
The first takes place in Isaac's tent. The patriarch is old and blind. He tells his elder son to go out into the field, trap an animal and prepare a meal so that he can bless him. Surprisingly, Isaac hears someone enter. "Who are you?" he asks. "I am Esau, your elder son," the voice replies. Isaac is not convinced. "Come close and let me feel you, my son. Are you really Esau, or not?" He reaches out and feels the rough texture of the skins covering his arms. Still unsure, he asks again, "But are you really my son Esau?" The other replies, "I am." So Isaac blesses him: "Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field blessed by G-d." But it is not Esau. It is Jacob in disguise.
Scene two: Jacob has fled to his uncle Lavan's house. Arriving, he meets and falls in love with Rachel, and offers to work for her father for seven years in order to marry her. The time passes quickly: the years "seemed like a few days because he loved her." The wedding day approaches. Lavan makes a feast. The bride enters her tent. Late at night, Jacob follows her. Now at last he has married his beloved Rachel. When morning comes, he discovers that he has been the victim of a deception. It is not Rachel. It is Leah in disguise.
Scene three: Judah has married a Canaanite girl and is now the father of three sons. The first marries a local girl, Tamar, but dies mysteriously young, leaving his wife a childless widow. Following a pre-Mosaic version of the law of levirate marriage, Judah marries his second son to Tamar so that she can have a child "to keep his brother's name alive." He is loath to have a son that will, in effect, belong to his late brother so he "spilled his seed," and for this he too died young. Judah is reluctant to give Tamar his third son, so she is left an agunah, "chained," bound to someone she is prevented from marrying – and unable to marry anyone else.
The years pass. Judah's own wife dies. Returning home from sheep shearing, he sees a veiled prostitute by the side of the road. He asks her to sleep with him, promising, by way of payment, a kid from the flock. She asks him for his "seal and its cord and his staff" as security. The next day he sends a friend to deliver the kid, but the woman has disappeared. The locals deny all knowledge of her. Three months later, Judah hears that his daughter-in-law Tamar has become pregnant. He is incensed. Bound to his youngest son, she was not allowed to have a relationship with anyone else. She must have been guilty of adultery.

Very cozy, spacious, new and well furnished small houses. Very nice verandah nice view up to the "mountains". The pool was excellent as well. When traveling for so long sometimes you just want to stay in and watch movies, so it doesn't hurt having 70channels (movie channels as well) and a dvd player. And the internet connection was very fast (you can rent a laptop if you don't have your own) It takes 5 minutes to walk to the beach, where there are a lot of simple thai places to eat. the owner was very nice and we had a very nice stay (booked for 2 nights stayed for 7)

Part of a series on Internet Slang. [View Related Entries]
PROTIP: Press 'i' to view the image gallery, 'v' to view the video gallery, or 'r' to view a random entry.
BRB is an initialism for the expression "be right back," which is typically used in instant messaging to notify others of a brief absence from the conversation in progress.
One of the earliest known uses of BRB appeared in a log from a Apple II Development Forum[13], held on January 3rd, 1989. During the chat session, at least two different users wrote "brb" to denote that they were temporarily stepping away from the chat room.
While "BRB" is most widely used in the context of real-time chat, the term has been also discussed on Usenet, including a post on the alt.usage.english[1] newsgroup on January 13th, 1994. After poster Tony Y.T. Chan inquired as to the meaning of the initialism FYI (for your information), Ron O'Dell replied with a list of seven internet initialisms people had been using online to help Chan and other readers who were not as familiar with them, including BRB.
On April 21st, 1996, BRB was discussed in a Los Angeles Daily News[2] report on internet slang, among many other terms. In June 1997, the term was defined on the FAQ[3] for the Multi-User Dungeon (MUD) Valhalla. Later that year, in December, BRB was added to the Online Slang Dictionary[4], followed by its inclusion in the Free On-Line Dictionary of Computing[5] in January 1998.
That November, Mads Orbesen Troest touched on the use of BRB in IRC chats in his academic paper[6] on computer-mediated communication while studying at Aalborg University in Denmark. On March 16th, 2006, a poster on the Unsolved Mysteries[8] forum posted a short list of online initialisms. On April 11th, 2003, BRB was first defined on Urban Dictionary[9], where nearly 70 definitions have been submitted as of October 2013.
In April 2006, BRB was used in the name of nonprofit organization BRBInfo[10], a Christian group dedicated to the idea that Jesus will "be right back." The following month, members of the forums for the MMO game MapleStory[12] launched a poll to compare the use of "AFK" (away from keyboard) and BRB, in which 70% of the voters chose BRB as their preferred method of marking themselves as away in-game (shown below, left). That September, a thread was started on the WordReference Spanish-English forums[11] seeking a Spanish translation of the phrase "be right back." By November 2006[16], the term began to be used as part of the LOLcats caption "Going to the moon, BRB," with an image of a striped feline wearing the cover from a spindle of blank CDs on its head (shown below, right).
In July 2008, BustedTees[14] released a BRB shirt depicting a boomerang, a throwing object that is made to come back to its point of origin. PC World[15] traced the history of BRB through its America Online roots for an article on the history of online shorthand. By February 2010[17], BRB was often found in LOL Jesus image macros, specifically ones in which Jesus is depicted on the cross (shown below, left) or ascending in to heaven (shown below, right). In March 2010, a Facebook fan page for the phrase "Going to the moon BRB"[18] launched, gaining more than 5,300 likes as of October 2013. A fan page specifically for the BRB intialism[19] was created that May, attracting more than 4,500 likes in the same time period.
In 2013, BRBApp[20] was introduced to the iOS App Store, allowing users to notify friends that they will be away from their mobile devices for a specified amount of time via their social media accounts. The app features customized messages, referencing the nostalgia behind the custom away message feature of AOL Instant Messenger. Since its launch in August, founders David Krevitt and Noah Levy reported the app has been used by students attending class, people whose phones have died and those who are driving.[21]

Currant Questions
Do currant tomatoes have a different flavor than other "wild" tomatoes like Matt's Wild Cherry? (I have tried Matt's, and I don't care for the flavor).
Do currant tomatoes set fruit even in heat and humidity and basically grow like weeds (like Matt's wild cherry)?
Are currant tomatoes very productive?
Can you harvest currant tomatoes without the tiny fruits splitting (the I way have found they do on Matt's)?
If I try currants, is it best to go with the regular "red currant" or "yellow currant" types, or one of the selected ones like Tess' Land Race?
Basically I'm looking for a wildish, heat-tolerant, and easy tomato like Matt's but with different flavor and less problems with split fruit.
Thank you.
Matt's Wild Cherry is not a currant. It's S. lycopersicon var cerisforme and I don't like the taste either. Currants are S. pimpinellifolium and are closest to what was growing wild in South America where tomato originated from and there are now about 15 different species of true tomatoes,
I've grown quite a few currants and my favorite is Sara's Galapagos , fruits were bought back to me from the Galapagos and checking with the Rick center at UC Davis in CA it's probably a stable interspecies cross but has the best taste of any currant I've grown.
This past summer I was able to score a pink fruited mutation of Everglades ( from the red, yellow epidermis, to a pink,clear epidermis), and it's called Ted's Pink Currant and I think you'll see it around in the future since I've SSE listed it for 2013 and will be sending it for trial to those seed companies for trial where I know the owners well and trust them.
I've never had any problems with splitting of any currant I've grown where Ilive and garden. And I wanted to add that there's nothing special about Wild Everglades. No doubt spread along the Gulf oast into FL by the Spanish missionaries who brought it from Mexico.
In any one SSE Yearbook there are many currantgs listd, some named, some not.
Lastly, at many places you'll read about growing currant varieties way far away form non-currant since currants have a stigma that sticks way up but it's been found that only about half of the currants that have been looked at are like that. Just to be safe, any time I grow a currant I do grow it in an area as far away as I can from regular garden tomatoes.But if you aren't a seed saver you can ignore what I just said,
Hope that helps,
Carolyn, thanks so much for the information (and sorry for the delayed reply). I'm going to try Sara's Galapagos, and I'll make a note of Ted's Pink for the future.
I love your book, by the way. After reading it I grew Druzba and Eva Purple Ball this fall and they have both done very well for me.

There's a reason I love freelancing and entrepreneurship. It's not the money (although that's nice). It's not the fame. (Wait, who is this guy?) It not that I am my own boss. (Sometimes that's more work than you'd think.) It's the freedom. Months when I want to make more money, I can work harder and spend more time on my businesses. But months when I want to spend more time with my wife and 2-year-old son, I can do that

Quoting a project isn't easy – and knowing how to quote a design project well is even tougher.

(Cue butterflies, rainbows, and birds chirping.) Easier said than done. (Cue giant sledgehammer.) Regardless of how much you charge or whether you quote a design project by the
