The Baja Wan-Thousand: A Quick Trip to the Tip
BigWan: Knock knock
LittleWan: Who's there?
BigWan: Tijuana
LittleWan: Tijuana who?
BigWan: Tijuana go to Baja?
LittleWan: Nope. :nah
Last year, BigWan started bugging me about doing the Mexican 1000, 2up.
Really? :huh
He was sure we could do it, but first we needed to pre-run.
BW: Do you want to go to Baja?
LW: Um, no. Are you still on that?
BW: Do you want to go to Baja?
LW: Seriously? No, I don't want to go to Baja.
BW: Do you want to go to Baja?
LW: Good God. OK - let's go. But it has to be next week.
And it has to be quick. I don't want to just hang out.
The plan:
Head South and see how well we would do on the race courses for the Baja 1000 and the Mexican 1000.
Using the maps found here, BigWan drew up a route that would incorporate
the 2012 Baja 1000, the 2012 Mexican 1000 and the 2007 Baja 1000.
You can download the maps (and GPS tracks) at that link.
There were also a few fun places we wanted to see, so we'd be veering from the course here and there for some side trips.
The original plan to ride in Baja was hatched at the KTM rally in Bend.
BigWan was riding with some Baja nuts, and all that B1k talk had planted the seed.
Another trip to Baja was inevitable, he just needed to talk me into it.
The Riders:
Scott (Goggles Pizano) from Reno.
Scott was a 2006 Baja 1000 Ironman finisher, so we knew he'd be a blast to ride with.
He was ready to tear it up on his KTM 950SE.
El Bartek (Bartek990). Bartek is a fairly new dirt rider (18 months - is that right??), but he oozes natural talent.
He's always up for anything and never complains. Perfect!
Here he is with his unique 2011 KTM ADV R (with dakar plastics)
and, us Wans - Matt and Kelly (BigWan and LittleWan).
Dumb as ever. ¿Como se dice "¡D'oh!" in espanol? :scratch

We had all been hoping that Radek (rburkat) would be able to complete our little group, but this trip was very last minute.
By the time we got our shit together, he was already committed to spending February in Poland.
He really wanted to go and was sad to miss the ride.
Us, too, Radek. Us, too. :cry
The Route:
You guys know I suck at maps, but I love my crayons.
Here's a close approximation of our route.
It's hard to tell from the crappy map, but most of this route is offroad.
How much pavement did we do? Not sure, but our guessimate is 400 miles.
It was as little as possible while still completing the route in 11 days.
Make sand your favorite!
It was a pretty ambitious plan and we'd have to do 200-300 mile days to keep on schedule.
And in February, the days are short.
The guys were all excited to use their lights, so night riding was going to happen.
Isn't that one of the big no-nos in Mexico?
Some stats:
2500 miles
11 days
114 tacos (and that's not counting the ones on Bartek's front rim :rofl)
6 flats
1 broken subframe...
and 1 broken rider. :eek1
Here are some teaser pics to whet your appetite.
Are you ready, Baja?
('cause we aren't)
Is This Real???
This can't be happening. I'm in at the start of a Wans adventure..:clap
Happy to tag along on this one. Y'all just do some casual rides. :eek1 :lol3
Bring it on!
good work bigwan, they eventually will say yes...:wink:
The Baja Wan-Thousand: A Quick Trip to the Tip
Baja threads are in full swing now, and this will surely be one of the greats.....
Did a recent, 2 up loaded down 950 run to the tip. Had a few " couple's skill building" moments in the sand.
Looking forward to the entertainment, comedy and some 2up extreme riding.
I'm game.................show me the way........
Oh yea, I've been there let's do it again.
Your RRs are great..............:wink::wink:
Bring it! Did BigWan take one of his purses down there? :rofl
But I found this crammed into one of the side bags...
( hi VFR, dvwalker, Bgunn, and stickman1432! It's great to have you here. :wave)
sweet made it on the first page...
You know I'm in!!!:drif:lol3
I've forgotten already----------can you 'splain about those mameshiba things again???
Baja Wan Thousand. I see what you did there Kelly!
Hi guys!
Big ktms and baja!!!!
Hi guys! The gang's all here! :clap
JustPaul, scottmac, HWD, Bob, larryboy, LeDakaR! :wave
Great to see everyone.
I thought it was brilliant.
My only contribution was noting that it can be abbreviated as "WanK"...
making us WanKers? :scratch
OK, let's get this story on the road...
Departure: 2/16/13
Usually, Matt is adamant about riding to a destination (its an ADVenture bike),
but he made an exception for this ride.
Without time to ride the coast or something fun (like the PCQ),
we were dreading the hideous slab down I-5.
Also, at $200 a tire, we didnt want to waste a new D908.
With 2500 miles ahead of us, we were already cutting it close.
Scott came down to the bay area and spent the night at Barteks.
The next morning, we met up and loaded the bikes.
It was a tight fit, but they got the SE and the R in the trailer.
Almost lost Bartek in there!
The S would be riding in the bed.
We were on the road before 8am.
It was a quick, easy drive down to the border.
This was a Saturday in the midst of a 3-day weekend.
No traffic in the bay area, no traffic in LA.
We made great time. I think it took about 10 hrs.
The energy in the truck was palpable.
Everyone was stoked and ready for adventure. :smile6
There was so much conversation and Baja excitement,
Matt never even turned on the stereo.
We gassed up in Tecate, CA and got some food.
For Kurt and Martha.
We quickly learned that El Bartek needs to feed every few hours.
Eating with both hands insures that all the food groups are ingested with maximum efficiency. :dg
Salad in one hand, Hawaiana pizza in the other...
Yep, that covers it. :lol3
Just as we were pulling out of the parking lot,
Scott remembered that he hadnt put the gas cap back on his safari tank.
Oh crap, that would have been a nightmare -
one tope and everything in the trailer would have been soaked in gasoline.
Whew, disaster averted!
Tecate was pretty dead when we crossed.
It was weird - I dont remember seeing another vehicle.
So of course we got a red light at customs.
After years of getting all green lights, weve had red lights for the last few crossings.
It was no big deal, though.
They didnt really want to search us, either.
Just took a quick glance in the trailer and waved us on.
The guy in migración was friendly enough, but I could tell he was annoyed at having these pendejos screwing up his saturday night tv.
There wasnt great trailer parking, so we were visiting the office in shifts.
I think every one of us messed up the visa form and he had to keep explaining things over and over. Stupid gringos.
Ive filled these things out before (last time was 2011), but they keep changing them. :dunno
The bank was already closed by the time we got there,
so he told us to make sure we pay when we find a bank on monday.
Okey dokey.
We almost forgot to stop and get pesos, but even with doubling back to find a bank,
it was a quick drive to Rancho Ojai.
Matt arranged for truck and trailer storage ($5 a day) and we rented a cabin ($71).
Rancho Ojai
Pronounced Oh hai! :rofl
(this friendly kitty was hanging around outside the office)
We spent some time unpacking and enjoying cervezas,
then it was time for bed.
I think it was hard for everyone to sleep - the next day was Christmas!

And to Allah belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise. 5That He may admit the believing men and the believing women to Gardens under which rivers flow (i.e. Paradise), to abide therein forever, and He may expiate from them their sins; and that is with Allah a supreme success, 6And that He may punish the Munafiqun (hypocrites), men and women, and also the Mushrikun men and women, who think evil thoughts about Allah: for them is a disgraceful torment. And the Anger of Allah is upon them, and He has cursed them and prepared Hell for them - and worst indeed is that destination. 7And to Allah belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. 8Verily, We have sent you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) as a witness, as a bearer of glad tidings, and as a warner . 9In order that you (O mankind) may believe in Allah and His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم), and that you assist and honour him (صلى الله عليه وسلم), and (that you) glorify (Allah's) praises morning and afternoon. 10Verily, those who give Bai'ah (pledge) to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) they are giving Bai'ah (pledge) to Allah. The Hand of Allah is over their hands. Then whosoever breaks his pledge, breaks it only to his own harm; and whosoever fulfils what he has covenanted with Allah, He will bestow on him a great reward. 11Those of the bedouins who lagged behind will say to you: "Our possessions and our families occupied us, so ask forgiveness for us." They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say: "Who then has any power at all (to intervene) on your behalf with Allah, if He intends you hurt or intends you benefit? Nay, but Allah is Ever All-Aware of what you do. 12"Nay, but you thought that the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and the believers would never return to their families, and that was made fair-seeming in your hearts, and you did think an evil thought and you became a useless people going for destruction." 13And whosoever does not believe in Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), then verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers a blazing Fire. 14And to Allah belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. He forgives whom He wills, and punishes whom He wills. And Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. 15Those who lagged behind will say, when you set forth to take the spoils, "Allow us to follow you." They want to change Allah's Words. Say: "You shall not follow us; thus Allah has said beforehand." Then they will say: "Nay, you envy us." Nay, but they understand not except a little. 16Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) to the bedouins who lagged behind: "You shall be called to fight against a people given to great warfare, then you shall fight them, or they shall surrender. Then if you obey, Allah will give you a fair reward; but if you turn away as you did turn away before, He will punish you with a painful torment." 17No blame or sin is there upon the blind, nor is there blame or sin upon the lame, nor is there blame or sin upon the sick (that they go not for fighting). And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم), He will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow (Paradise); and whosoever turns back, He will punish him with a painful torment. 18Indeed, Allah was pleased with the believers when they gave the Bai'ah (pledge) to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) under the tree: He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down As-Sakinah (calmness and tranquillity) upon them, and He rewarded them with a near victory. 19And abundant spoils that they will capture. And Allah is Ever All-Mighty, All-Wise. 20Allah has promised you abundant spoils that you will capture, and He has hastened for you this, and He has restrained the hands of men from you: that it may be a sign for the believers, and that He may guide you to the Straight Path. 21And other (victories and much booty He promises you) which are not yet within your power; indeed Allah compasses them. And Allah is Ever Able to do all things. 22And if those who disbelieve fight against you, they certainly would have turned their backs; then they would have found neither a Wali (protector, guardian) nor a helper. 23That has been the Way of Allah already with those who passed away before. And you will not find any change in the Way of Allah. 24And He it is Who has withheld their hands from you and your hands from them in the midst of Makkah, after He had made you victors over them. And Allah is Ever the All-Seer of what you do. 25They are the ones who disbelieved (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and hindered you from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah) and detained the sacrificial animals from reaching their place of sacrifice. Had there not been believing men and believing women whom you did not know, that you may kill them and on whose account a sin would have been committed by you without (your) knowledge, that Allah might bring into His Mercy whom He wills - if they (the believers and the disbelievers) had been apart, We verily would have punished those of them who disbelieved with painful torment. 26When those who disbelieve had put in their hearts pride and haughtiness - the pride and haughtiness of the time of ignorance, - then Allah sent down His Sakinah (calmness and tranquillity) upon His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and upon the believers, and made them stick to the word of piety (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped but Allah); and they were well entitled to it and worthy of it. And Allah is the All-Knower of everything. 27Indeed Allah shall fulfil the true vision which He showed to His Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) [i.e. the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saw a dream that he has entered Makkah along with his Companions, having their (head) hair shaved and cut short] in very truth. Certainly, you shall enter Al-Masjid-al-Haram, if Allah wills, secure, (some) having your heads shaved, and (some) having your head hair cut short, having no fear. He knew what you knew not, and He granted besides that a near victory. 28He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), that He may make it (Islam) superior to all religions. And All-Sufficient is Allah as a Witness. 29Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) is the Messenger of Allah. And those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and falling down prostrate (in prayer), seeking Bounty from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. The mark of them (i.e. of their Faith) is on their faces (foreheads) from the traces of prostration (during prayers). This is their description in the Taurat (Torah). But their description in the Injeel (Gospel) is like a (sown) seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, and becomes thick and it stands straight on its stem, delighting the sowers, that He may enrage the disbelievers with them. Allah has promised those among them who believe (i.e. all those who follow Islamic Monotheism, the religion of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم till the Day of Resurrection) and do righteous good deeds, forgiveness and a mighty reward (i.e. Paradise).

The United States Government has certain rights under this invention as set forth in DOE Contract No. DE-AC03-82-CE30755.
This is a divisional of co-pending application Ser. No. 646,395, filed Aug. 31, 1986, now abandoned
The present invention relates to polymeric compositions embodying phase change materials and, more particularly, to polymeric compositions incorporating polyethylene glycols and/or end-capped polyethylene glycols as phase change materials. These compositions are useful in the manufacture of materials such as flooring, tiles and the like as well as in forming pellets of the phase change materials useful in other applications. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, polyethylene glycols and/or end-capped polyethylene glycols are incorporated into paint compositions.
There has been a great deal of interest in phase change thermal energy storage systems due to their inherent ability to store large amounts of heat and release it to the surrounding environment as temperatures drop below a predetermined level. These systems are of particular interest in the architectural and building trades where climate control and its concomitant energy consumption is one of the principal considerations in building design and material selection.
A variety of building materials and techniques have previously been used to conserve heat or cool and thereby reduce energy costs. Included among them are structural elements which incorporate phase change materials. By incorporating phase change materials into building materials, energy in excess of that necessary to maintain comfort conditions is inherently absorbed and subsequently released when the surrounding environment drops below the comfort range. Thus, in winter months, phase change materials incorporated into structural elements in the walls or floors of buildings and the like can absorb solar energy during daytime hours and release it to the interior at night as temperatures drop. In summer months, the same phase change material, due to its thermostatic character, conserves coolness by absorbing energy.
Structural elements and compositions incorporating phase change materials are more desirable than elements which only store sensible heat because they have a higher capacity to store energy and they absorb and release a large quantum of energy over a very narrow temperature range. A phase change material utilizes its latent heat of fusion for thermal storage. The latent heat of fusion is substantially greater than the sensible heat capacity of the material. That is, the amount of energy a material absorbs upon melting, or releases upon freezing, is much greater than the amount of energy it absorbs or releases upon increasing or decreasing in temperature 1� C. Thus, upon melting and freezing, per unit weight, a phase change material absorbs and releases substantially more energy than a material which stores purely sensible heat. Furthermore, as contrasted with a sensible heat storage material which absorbs and releases energy essentially uniformly over a broad temperature range, a phase change material absorbs and releases a large quantum of energy in the vicinity of its melting/freezing point. This is particularly advantageous in buildings where space is at a premium and energy storage and release are required within a very narrow comfort range.
Among the teachings which were available in the art prior to the present invention are those of U.S. Pat. No. 4,259,401 to Chahroudi et al which discloses both structural and non-structural building materials incorporating phase change materials. These building materials are made up of a rigid porous matrix structure which is impregnated with the phase change material. Three classes of phase change materials are disclosed, namely, hydrated salts, waxes, and clathrates. Cements, plasters or thermosetting materials may form the rigid matrix.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,111,189 to Dizon discloses a combined solar collector and thermal energy storage device in which the collector employs phase change matrix comprising a phase change material dispersed in a polymeric matrix. The preferred phase change material is polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight in the range of 4500 to 20,000.
The present invention is directed to polymeric compositions which are useful in thermal energy storage and include polyethylene glycol and/or an end-capped polyethylene glycol as a phase change material.
It has been found that polyethylene glycols and end-capped polyethylene glycols have relatively high heats of fusion (typically greater than 30 cal/gm) and melt at temperatures which make them useful as phase change materials for climate control, deicing, or in active solar energy storage systems. More particularly, it has been found that polyethylene glycols and/or end-capped polyethylene glycols can be dispersed in polymeric compositions and used to form molded or coated products in which the glycols maintain their melting points and heats of fusion and function effectively in passive thermal energy storage. Thus, by incorporating polyethylene glycols or end-capped glycols into polymeric compositions and using them to form flooring, paints, tiles and similar materials, heating and cooling costs can be reduced.
It has additionally been found that polyethylene glycols and end-capped polyethylene glycols can be incorporated into various polymeric materials and used to form pellets useful in active thermal energy storage systems such as a pellet bed heat exchangers as well as in solar passive storage systems.
Accordingly, a principal object of the present invention is to provide a polymeric composition which incorporates a polyethylene glycol or an end-capped polyethylene glycol as a phase change material.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a polymeric composition which incorporates a polyethylene glycol or an end-capped polyethylene glycol and is useful in the manufacture of molded or coated products which exhibit desirable thermal energy storage characteristics.
Another object of the present invention is to provide paint compositions containing polyethylene glycols or end-capped polyethylene glycols as phase change materials.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide pellets containing polyethylene glycols or end-capped polyethylene glycols which are useful in passive storage applications in which the glycols may interfere with other properties of the composition or solar active storage.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a pellet bed heat exchanger containing pellets formed from polymeric compositions containing polyethylene glycols.
The present invention will be explained in more detail by reference to the following drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a plot of the melting point of polyethylene glycols as a function of molecular weight.
FIGS. 2-5 are differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) diagrams for selected polyethylene glycols and blends useful in the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a differential scanning calorimetry curve for a blend of 600 and 8000 molecular weight PEG's.
FIG. 7 is a differential scanning calorimetry curve for a latex paint containing 20 parts by weight polyethylene glycol 1000.
The PEG's and end-capped PEG's used as phase change materials in the present invention have molecular weights ranging from greater than 400 to ultra high molecular weights in excess of 200,000. Included in the term "polyethylene glycol" or "PEG" are polyethylene oxides (PEO's), by which name the higher molecular weight PEG's are known in the art.
The term "end-capped" PEG's refers to PEG's in which at least one and preferably both of the terminal hydroxy groups are reacted and includes alkoxy-capped PEG's, urethane-capped PEG's, ester-capped PEG's and like compounds. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the glycols are end-capped by etherification with long chain, alcohols having 12 or more carbon atoms (e.g., C16-C18) and esterification with formic and acetic acids and long chain alkyl hydrocarbon acids having 12 or more carbon atoms such as stearic acid, oleic acid and the like. The etherification and esterification with long chain alcohols and acids can be used advantageously to obtain reduced water sensitivity and enhanced storage simultaneously.
The energies of the phase changes of PEG's and end-capped PEG's do not show a smooth correlation with molecular weight, but, in broad outline, as the molecular weight of the PEG increases, so do its fusion/crystallization energies until a constant value of about 40 cal/gm is reached at molecular weights of 1000 and higher. This can be seen from the results of Reference Example 1 below. PEG's having molecular weights of 1500 and 8000 are anomalous in this respect and this may be due to the molecular weight distribution in the material or other unknown factors. All of the PEG's and end-capped PEG's used in this invention have phase change energies greater than 30 cal/g.
While the heats of fusion/crystallization of PEG's are fairly constant, the melting points of PEG's directly with their molecular weight. FIG. 1 is a plot of melting points and freezing points of PEG's as a function of molecular weight. Melting point varies the fastest in the molecular weight range of 300 to 1500 rising from about -15� C. to 45� C. with that molecular weight range whereafter it increases more slowly to a limiting melting point of about 63� C.
By appropriately selecting PEG's, it is possible to achieve any desired melting point within a range of about -15� C. (300 molecular weight) to about 63� C. (molecular weight greater than 8000). For climate control, heating and cooling, it is desirable to use PEG's and/or end-capped PEG's having melting points in the range of about 16� to 42� C. Consequently, for use in passive energy storage systems such as building materials, wall panels, flooring, tiles, paints and the like, the polyethylene glycols and end-capped polyethylene glycols preferably have a molecular weight in the range of about 600 to 1500.
For deicing applications, melting points of about 1� to 20� C. (preferably 5� to 15� C.) are desirable. Hence, for these applications, polyethylene glycols falling within a relatively narrow, low molecular weight range of 450 to 600 are desirable.
The compositions of the present invention may also be useful in certain active thermal energy storage systems, such as solar collectors and pellet bed heat exchangers. Here, melting points up to about 63�, the maximum for PEG's, are useful and, as such, polyethylene glycols ranging from about 3500 to several million (polyethylene oxides) in molecular weight are used. To illustrate the phase change characteristics of polyethylene glycols and end-capped polyethylene glycols, differential scanning calorimeter curves are provided in FIGS. 2-5 for commercially available 1000 (FIG. 2) and 1500 (FIG. 3) molecular weight polyethylene glycols and a 750 (FIG. 4) molecular weight methoxy capped PEG (carbowax 750). FIG. 5 is a differential scanning calorimeter curve for a 100,000 molecular weight polyethylene oxide.
In most cases, the melting/freezing points of polyethylene glycols can be modified by blending polyethylene glycols or end-capped polyethylene glycols having different melting/freezing points to obtain a phase change material having an intermediate melting/freezing point. This practice can be used to tailor the thermal storage characteristics of the phase change material to meet the requirements of the particular end use.
It has been found, however, that if the molecular weights of the blended polyethylene glycols are sufficiently different, they retain their respective melting/freezing points and heats of fusion and compositions having two phase change temperatures can be prepared. This is illustrated in FIG. 6 which is the differential scanning calorimeter curve for a blend of 50 parts 600 molecular weight and 50 parts 8000 molecular weight polyethylene glycols. As the curve illustrates, in the blend, each of the glycols exhibits a separate latent heat of fusion and melting/freezing point. These materials offer the ability to design building materials which perform optimally in both heat storage and cool storage or for use in both active and passive thermal energy storage systems. The blend illustrated in FIG. 6 is particularly useful in that it could store solar heat for winter heating, and night time "cool" for summer cooling in a single composition.
As a general rule, separate heats of fusion and melting points can be maintained as long as the difference in the molecular weights of the polyethylene glycols is at least 2000, and one of the two blend components has a molecular weight of 1000 or less. The phase change materials can be blended in any ratio depending upon the performance characteristics desired. Ratios of 1/10 to 10/1 are useful.
PEG's and/or end-capped PEG's can be incorporated into thermosetting or thermoplastic, elastomeric or non-elastomeric polymeric materials. Included within the scope of the term "polymeric materials" are natural or synthetic rubbers.
The polymeric material must be compatible with the PEG or end-capped PEG such that the PEG or end-capped PEG can be incorporated into the polymeric material and remain incorporated therein upon molding or coating. If the materials are not compatible, the PEG or end-capped PEG will not disperse in the polymer or, upon molding, coating or otherwise acting on the composition, the materials will separate. The PEG or end-capped PEG can be dissolved and/or dispersed in the polymer.
PEG's can be most readily dispersed in polymers having a polar character. By "polar character" is meant that the polymer contains polar moieties therein such as carboxyl groups, hydroxyl groups and the like. Typical examples of polar polymers are nylons, polyesters, acrylate rubbers, methacrylate rubbers, polyvinyl alcohol, vinylacetate copolymers, polyvinyl acetate, vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer, neoprene, butadieneacrylonitrile rubber, etc. However, less polar or non-polar rubbers or polymers such as natural rubber, butyl rubber, polybutadiene copoly(butadiene/styrene) and copoly(ethylene/propylene) (EPDM) can also be used, although more intensive mixing is necessary. Depending on the type and molecular weight of the PEG's, it may be present as a separate phase of discrete droplets. This type of dispersion does not prevent the melting and crystallization of the phase change material.
The compositions of the present invention can be crosslinked, or uncrosslinked depending upon what physical properties (such as hardness or thermal form stability) are required in the final product. If they are crosslinked, it is essential that the compositions not be crosslinked to an extent that the phase change material loses its heat of fusion.
It is advantageous to incorporate the PEG's in rubbers having significant crystallinity that they can also function as phase change materials. Natural rubber reportedly has phase transitions at -6� and 25� C. Neoprene reportedly has a crystalline melting point at about 32� C., as is desirable for comfort heating. Other semi-crystalline rubbers include specific EPDM and copoly(ethylene/vinyl acetate) rubbers. Hence, a crystalline matrix rubber containing encapsulated PEG can provide augmented thermal energy storage capacity since both parts of the composite contribute.
End-capped PEG's such as methoxy-capped PEG's can be readily incorporated into the less polar polymers identified above. Thus, depending on the character of the polymers conventionally used in an application such as floor tiles, PEG's or end-capped PEG's can be used to impart a phase change capability to the material.
The PEG's can be incorporated into polymeric compositions in amounts of up to 50% by weight, depending on the nature of the polyethylene glycol and the polymer used. Theoretically, there is no lower limit on the amount of PEG or end-capped PEG that is used since some thermal energy storage benefit (although small) accompanies any addition. As a general rule, PEG's or end-capped PEG's are used in an amount of at least 1% by weight.
In forming molded products, the PEG or end-capped PEG can be mixed with the polymeric material in a conventional manner, e.g., in a banbury or on a roll mill. Furthermore, conventional plasticizers, fillers, pigments, curing agents, etc., can be added to the compositions to adjust their physical properties as desired It is advantageous to add fillers such as finely divided silica and carbon black to the polymer composition. They may be added in amounts ranging from about 10 to 100 parts per 100 parts of polymer.
For certain applications, it is desirable to form pellets or granules from the polymeric compositions of the present invention. This can be accomplished by incorporating PEG in the polymer, and grinding or cutting the polymer to produce pellets ranging from about 0.25 to 3.0 mm in particle size.
These pellets are particularly useful in active thermal energy storage systems or in applications in which PEG or end-capped PEG would interfere with the composition in which it is to be dispersed. In both cases, the polymers function to contain the PEG while in its liquid state. In the latter case, the polymers also isolate the PEG from the composition. The polymer may be crosslinked or not depending upon whether thermal form stability is required. For example, crosslinked pellets are used in active thermal energy storage whereas the pellets incorporated in cementitious compositions need not be crosslinked.
One example of an application in which it is particularly desirable to use PEG pellets is in forming cementitious compositions. PEG's (as contrasted with end-capped PEG's) are highly hygroscopic and tend to retard the rate with which concrete sets. Consequently, unless pelletized, they can only be added to concretes in very limited amounts typically less than about 5% by weight. PEG/polymer pellets can be dispersed in a cementitious composition in an amount up to 50% by weight.
PEG polymer pellets are particularly useful as the phase change media in pellet bed heat exchangers. In this case, as previously noted, high molecular weight PEG's and polyethylene oxides are used. Pellet bed heat exchangers are known in the art and there is no reason that the pellets of the present invention cannot be used in any exchanger design. Such exchangers generally include a heat exchanger column containing a bed of the pellets through which a heat exchange fluid (e.g., a liquid such as silicone oil or a gas such as air or nitrogen) is circulated. Typically, the pellets range in size from about 0.25 to 3.0 mm. The amount of polymer the pellets should be no more than necessary to effectively contain the glycol so as to minimize any insulative effect it may have.
PEG's and/or end-capped PEG's can also be incorporated into oil based or latex paints and coated on structures where the coating exhibits the desirable phase change properties of the PEG. PEG's are highly water soluble and readily dissolve in the aqueous base of latex paints. Upon coating these paints on walls or other surfaces, the water evaporates and a film is formed comprising a water-insoluble film-forming polymer having phase change material dispersed therein. The PEG retains its heat of fusion and melting point properties and retains its ability to function as a phase change material in the coating.
Commercially available interior latex paints containing polyvinyl acetate as the paint vehicle and exterior paints containing acrylic resin as the vehicle have been modified by simple additions of up to 20 wt. % polyethylene glycol and measurable heats of fusion and crystallization have been obtained.
PEG's are not soluble in oil based paints but, by end-capping PEG's particularly with long chain alcohols or acids (e.g., having greater than 12 carbon atoms), an oil dispersible phase change material is obtained which, upon painting and evaporation of the oil paint solvent, yields a film having minute droplets of phase change material therein.
PEG's and end-capped PEG's can be added to paint in any amount provided the PEG or end-capped PEG does not detract from the ability of the paint to form a thin uniform film. Usually the glycols are added to paints in amounts ranging from about 5 to 30% by weight and more preferably 20 to 30% by weight.
For cool storage, the melting point of the phase change material is selected to be a few (preferably 10� C.) degrees above the freezing point of water. For this reason, PEG's ranging from about 450 to about 600 in molecular weight are required.
The phase change temperatures and energies of a series of PEG's of average molecular weight ranging from 600 to 14,000 were determined using a DuPont Model 912 Dual Cell Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) interfaced with a DuPont 1090 Thermal Analyzer. The cell constants for this instrument were determined using Indium and Tin standards. The energies of the fusion endotherms of the standard materials were found to be within 2.6 to 6.2% of the literature values. The fusion temperature and energy of Gallium was used to check the instrument calibration in the temperature region of interest for the PEG's. The fusion temperature of Gallium was 1.2% high (found 30.1� C., literature 29.25� C.) and the enthalpy of fusion was 1.5% low (found 18.87 cal/g, literature 19.16 cal/g) which is considered to be within experimental error. Temperature control in a cooling experiment in the DuPont DSC is not as accurate as temperature control in the heating mode of operation.
Each sample was put through four sequential heat-cool cycles at a heating/cooling rate of about 10� C./minute in a nitrogen atmosphere. Excellent precision of measurement was obtained. Experimental values are summarized in Table 1.
TABLE 1______________________________________PHASE CHANGE PROPERTIES OFPOLY (ETHYLENE GLYCOLS)Molec-ular --T + s (�C.)Weight Onset (ext) Maximum Final --H + s (cal/g)______________________________________Fusion 600 5.6 � 0.8 21.6 � 2.5 31.4 � 2.5 -32.65 � 0.501000 27.7 � 1.5 42.9 � 2.3 51.4 � 1.6 -40.85 � 1.041500 41.4 � 0.2 48.7 � 0.9 55.5 � 1.8 -39.74 � 0.133400 50.7 � 0.6 61.8 � 0.6 68.7 � 0.9 -46.11 � 0.638000 49.6 � 0.7 62.0 � 0.4 68.3 � 1.5 -41.40 � 1.2314000 52.9 � 1.1 63.7 � 0.5 71.4 � 2.5 -46.90 � 1.18Crystallization 600 9.7 � 0.6 6.1 � 0.8 -13.4 � 2.1 31.69 � 0.501000 32.6 � 3.2 26.9 � 3.4 8.6 � 5.1 38.94 � 0.481500 33.4 � 1.7 28.9 � 3.5 20.9 � 8.5 36.71 � 4.283400 42.5 � 0.2 38.1 � 1.0 30.5 � 0.5 41.81 � 0.728000 43.2 � 2.0 39.3 � 0.2 27.0 � 1.4 38.45 � 0.4214000 45.8 � 0.5 43.5 � 0.7 30.2 � 2.4 44.36 � 0.36______________________________________
It is well documented in thermal analysis literature that the temperatures at which thermal events occur are a function of the DSC heating rate. Consequently, the temperatures reported in Table 1 are to be considered as representative of the range over which both fusion and crystallization of the PEG's will occur.
One particularly advantageous feature of PEG's as phase change materials is that they generally do not exhibit a large supercooling effect. The amount of supercooling observed in the DSC experiments at heating/cooling rate of �10� C./minute are summarized in Table 2.
TABLE 2______________________________________AMOUNT OF SUPERCOOLING INPOLY (ETHYLENE GLYCOLS)Molecular Weight Onset (ext) Maximum______________________________________ 600 (+4.1) -15.51000 (+4.9) -16.01500 -8.0 -19.83400 -8.2 -23.78000 -6.4 -22.714000 -7.1 -20.2______________________________________
Two different values are reported for each PEG. The extrapolated on-set temperature of the phase change is affected by the integration limits selected for the peak and consequently is not as accurate as the maximum temperature value. This is reflected by the parenthetical values of the extrapolated on-set temperature "supercooling" values for PEG 600 and PEG 1000. With these two exceptions, supercooling ranges from a minimum of -6.4� C. for PEG 8000 to a maximum of -23.7� C. for PEG 3400. Again, both superheating and supercooling may be a function of the heating and cooling rates, and nucleation; and, thus will be less pronounced at the much slower heating and cooling rates of the actual application. Additionally, however, we have found that small percentages (e.g., 10% weight) of higher molecular weight PEG 8000 can be used in PEG 1000 to reduce the supercooling to about 1/2 the value of Table 2 above.
The present invention is illustrated in more detail by the following non-limiting examples.
20 g polyethylene glycol (1000 molecular weight) was dispersed in 100 g polyvinyl acetate (200,000 molecular weight) in a laboratory banbury. The composition was subjected to DSC analysis according to the procedures set forth in Reference Example 1 and exhibited a melting point of 40.0� C., a crystallization point of 15.1� C. and a latent heat of fusion/crystallization of about 28 cal/g.
50 parts polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 1000 was incorporated into 100 parts butadieneacrylonitrile rubber (Chemigum HR 967, a product of Goodyear Co.) with 50 parts silica and 5 parts of peroxide curing agent (DiCup R, a product of Hercules Chemical Co.) in a laboratory banbury. Two samples were prepared, one of which was cured at 350� F. for 30 minutes and the other of which was not. Both samples were subjected to DSC analysis as in Reference Example 1. In both samples, the polyethylene glycol maintained its latent heat of fusion.
100 parts polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 1000) was incorporated into 100 parts Neoprene WRT (a product of E. I. duPont) with 75 parts silica and 5 parts DiCup R on a laboratory banbury. Two samples were prepared, one of which was cured at 350� F. for 30 minutes and the other of which was not. Both samples were subjected to differential scanning calorimeter analysis at 0� C./min and the polyethylene glycol retained its heat of fusion.
A rubber composition was prepared by compounding 100 parts EPDM (Nordel 1070) with 50 parts silica, 5 parts stearic acid, 3 parts DiCup R, 63 parts polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 1500) and 3 parts polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 8000). Two samples were prepared, one of which was cured at 350� F. for 30 minutes and the other of which was not. Upon subjecting both samples to DSC analysis, it was found that two heats of fusion were obtained corresponding to the respective polyethylene glycols.
Three polymeric compositions were prepared by respectively incorporating 50, 66, and 100 parts polyethylene glycol (1000 molecular weight) in 100 parts ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA 40/55 Rubber, a product of U.S.I. Chemicals Co.). Each of the samples was analyzed DSC analysis and in each case it was found that the polyethylene glycol maintained its melting point and heat of fusion properties.
A polyvinyl acetate latex paint composition was modified to include a phase change material by adding 20 parts polyethylene glycol (1000 molecular weight) to 80 parts Dean & Barry White Super Velveton paint (a polyvinyl acetate latex paint). The paint composition was coated upon a support and allowed to dry. DSC analysis showed that in the dried composition, the polyethylene glycol exhibited its melting point and heat of fusion properties. The DSC curve is shown in FIG. 7. Thus, desirable thermal energy storage characteristics can be obtained through the incorporation of polyethylene glycols into latex paints.
Having described the invention in detail and by reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be apparent that modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the appended claims.

I suspect that much that is likely due to it having the electric start however. The 2009 does seem to carry it's weight differently to (better).
I highly doubt there is anything "wrong" with your bike's actual weight unless some one bolted on some lumps of lead to it! . In your pictures, your bike looks essentially stock - nothing there that would make it feel noticeably heavier.

Linux ISO
Anybody know where one could get their hands on the Calandra Distro? I really wanted to try that one, but SCO has "pulled it until the legal BS is worked out".
Also... I'm looking for a SMALL Distro that will run on an OLD machine (Pentium 133, 64MB, 1MB Video, 2GB HD), yet use the newer Kernel. I have Red Hat 6.1, but I didn't really care for that Distro, and I'm looking for something smaller (Disk space req / mem req).
**** sco..
use slackware that should suite your box good.
Re: Linux ISO
If you install the minimum of packages it works
quite well .
The graphics are a little slow (GNOME) or mozilla, The main use of that system is for text mode applications : mc, gcc, apache,
You also could try a newer rh9 ...
ps : i tried mdk9.0 and slackware 8.x on that machine too

Grant applications for EMA equipment and public safety equipment were the main topic of discussion during the Back Mountain Community Partnership meeting on Nov. 15.
Kate McMahon from the Northeastern Pennsylvania Alliance (NEPA), a regional development agency that helps facilitate business between the municipalities, reported that organization spoke to a representative from the Department of Community & Economic Development, who confirmed the Local Share Account grant applications for EMA equipment and police equipment should be filed as two grants and not as one grant.
At its October meeting, the partnership had questioned whether the grants would be in competition with one another. DCED said the grants would not be in competition with one another, but the purchases were too different to be written as one common grant.
The partnership had requested at that meeting that NEPA set up a bank account for the maintenance funds of the jointly-owned EMA equipment.
Mark Van Etten from the Luzerne County Tax Collection Committee said the first EMA equipment trailer would be ordered following the next Lehman Township meeting. McMahon reported that once checks arrive from each municipality, the partnership could open the account. Signature cards from each municipality will be required.
The group discussed the purchase of a JAMAR Radar Data Recorder. In October, each municipal representative took the information back to their respective governing bodies for review to see if the boards were interested in jointly purchasing a radar machine.
Dallas Borough, Dallas Township and Lehman Township got approval to a specified amount. Kingston Township and Franklin Township are not interested. Jackson Township representatives were not at the meeting and had not yet relayed whether they would participate. McMahon said he would contact the township to get confirmation so the other municipalities can figure out the cost each would have to contribute.
The partnership announced its 2013 schedule and reported that Attorney Jeff Malak will advertise the schedule.

Staff Correspondent
Belgaum: International Women's Day was observed here on Saturday in a different and meaningful manner. "Rangoli" artist Jyoti Chindak was at her creative best when she drew the images of women on the ground using colour powder, highlighting the issues they are facing.
At the Marathi Mandir Auditorium here, she created 30 images, each depicting the status of women in society.
Of the three sections in the exhibition, one depicted exploitation of women, atrocities on them and gender discrimination.
The second section highlighted women power and those who had excelled in social, economic, cultural, science and technology and space fields.
The third section depicted Rajasthani traditions.
Wife of Ramesh Chindak, Ms. Chindak, hails from a Marwadi family.
She shot to fame when she drew the biggest "rangoli" for the popular TV show, "Shabaash India", on November 2, 2006. She told The Hindu that an art could be used as an effective tool to convey socially relevant messages or to draw attention towards various issues concerning society.
She used the "rangoli" form not only for the sake of art, but also for "expression".
The topics included social evils such as female foeticide, female infanticide, dowry, and drug and alcohol addiction. The event featured the portraits of leaders and achievers such as Rani Channamma of Kittur, first woman President Pratibha Patil, Mother Teresa, and Kiran Bedi.

Maker Elder
Edit Page Last Edit: 3 years ago
The oldest of the Old Ones, the Maker Elder is withdrawn and contemplative. he moves and speaks slowly, with a great wisdom and sense of inner peace. There is, more and more in his tone, a great sorrow. he has seen the end of all things, and knows that the march toward this inescapable fate has already begun. death's appearance in their world is unexpected however, and the Elder sees it as an omen, or at the very least, an unexpected wrinkle which may change the course of fate.

DJ Shadow: Endtroducing...
Endtroducing… was one of the first records I ever purchased (I have somehow ended up with 3 copies of the LP since). In one way or another, this album exposed me to a new world of records, dj'ing and the diversity of hiphop music. It's a timeless classic 10 years on.
To me, the photograph on the cover is synonymous with DJ Shadow and his dedication to the art of digging for records. His knowledge for the most obscure records and sampling them with an MPC led to this masterpiece. Many aren't aware of this, but DJ Shadow has one of the worlds largest private record collections with over 60,000 LPs.
LA-based photographer B+ aka Brian Cross shot this photograph. His images have appeared on over 100 hiphop record covers for artists including Mos Def, Q-Tip, Jurassic 5, Ozomatli, Blackalicious, Warren G and Eazy E.
An interesting anecdote on the shot:
We measured the focus really quickly because of the cat and we measured in feet when it's set for metres. That's why the foreground is out of focus. It was honestly a total mistake.
Photography by B+. Sleeve design by Ben Drury and Will Bankhead.

I've never noticed the cat before!
The guy in the grey jumper on the cover much get pulled up all the time by people asking "Where have I seen you before?"
And he'd go "um…. errr… I was that blurry dude on the DJ Shadow album"
Whenever I lend Shadow to anyone, I always ask if they spotted the cat…
They never do!
But did you notice the Super Mario Bros movie poster? :) If I had to name something I could remember from that image, it's that poster.
I have the cardboard cd version, and it has this cool fabric innersleeve.
@Rickert: You must take a picture and email it over (firstname.lastname@example.com). I was not even aware such a version even existed! Very curious now…
Anybody know which record store this was taken in? I'm thinking Amoeba Records on Haight in San Francisco, but I'm not sure…
I'm pretty sure Amoeba on Haight did not exist at that time. Could be wrong, though. I think it was still Rock N Bowl?
Yup, confirmed. Endtroducing came out in '96, but the Haight Amoeba opened in '97 (according to wikipedia articles on dj shadow and amoeba records)
The store is called simply "Records" and is on K street in Sacramento.
The newly relocated store is featured on the DVD "Scratch"…it is said that most of endtroducing was made from records taken from the basement there.
Classic. Never noticed the cat either.
Blurry dude wearing wig is Lyrics Born, other guy is Chief Xcel from Blackalicious… other dude wearing baseball cap is Beni B from ABB Records.
Awesome record and cover work – i love it.
I have the original MoWax 1996 Ltd CD release of this… It is a card slipcase, with an LP style gatefold interior containing a fabric CD sleeve (as with many MoWax releases on CD at that time), separate booklet, and mail-in registration card.
It's a shame I didn't look after them better (several house moves since), as this and the original CD version of the Spiritualized LP 'Ladies and Gentlemen…' in the Pill box were the ones that got me into limited edition packaging.
ok, i'm gonna go ahead and be that stupid guy who asks… where is that cat? i can't see it, i can't find it… gosh, this is embarrassing.
The cat is in the open cover to the far left.
Man, I thought the cat was someone with a camo jacket and headphones, blurred by movement…
Somehow the title combined with the image becomes some kind of visionary prediction of the death of the industry.
I did notice the cat one evening at a friend's place while trying to make out some of the covers in the picture. That's when I noticed the Mario Brothers ad.
I wonder.. has anyone ever been able to identify a few covers on this ?
Fast-forward to about the 2-minute mark of the video for ""Midnight In A Perfect World": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InFbBlpDTfQ
Best album ever.

Earl Sweatshirt accuses Taylor Swift of 'perpetuating black stereotypes' Taylor Swift Tickets
Pop singer released 'Shake It Off' video to tease new album '1989'
Sweatshirt's comments follow the announcement of Swift's fifth album, '1989', and the release of the 'Shake It Off' video, which can be seen below.
Taking to Twitter, Sweatshirt wrote: "haven't watched the taylor swift video and I don't need to watch it to tell you that it's inherently offensive and ultimately harmful… perpetuating black stereotypes to the same demographic of white girls who hide their prejudice by proclaiming their love of the culture… for instance, those of you who are afraid of black people but love that in 2014 it's ok for you to be trill or twerk or say nigga"
haven't watched the taylor swift video and I don't need to watch it to tell you that it's inherently offensive and ultimately harmful— EARL (@earlxsweat) August 19, 2014
Swift is yet to respond to Sweatshirt's comments. Among those praising the video are Girls creator Lena Dunham.
@taylorswift13 + @markromanek = dreams & fantasies #ShakeItOff— Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) August 18, 2014
The accusations of racism follow a recent report that concluded that sexism and racism are rife in music videos, with women routinely depicted in a hyper-sexualised way that creates a "conducive context" for violence.
Commissioned by equality campaign organisations EVAW Coalition, Imkaan and Object, the report found that women – in particular black women – are portrayed as hyper-sexualized. The report said: "Black women are commonly portrayed as hypersexual, with a focus and fascinated gaze on their bottoms, invoking ideas of black women as wild and animalistic."
Earlier this year, Avril Lavigne addressed comments that her 'Hello Kitty' video was racist, while Miley Cyrus denied accusations that her Bangerz tour was

This is not standard fights, but a special contest. For the context of this battle Batman will be on the Batpod, from the Dark Knight Rises. and judge Dredd will be on his lawmaster. They are both in their most current comic book forms, as well as being in full character, and batman, has full knowledge on how the batpod works. However this is a random encounter, and neither knows what the other can do.
While tracking a known criminal in Boston; two cops are killed, and Batman is blamed, as an APB goes out, Judge Dredd, crosses over into the DC universe, due to a temporal anomaly, and hears the APB, and begins to pursue batman.
Reason i chose Boston, i had to balance this fight as best i could, lawmasters are beastly, able to go 300 mph, in straightaways, something Boston does not have a lot of, Second traffic jams, making both people adapt, to ever changing environment. Third, at this time of day it can take over an hour and a half to go from one side to other, So it give them plenty of interactions.
Please Give your reasons, who wins this and Why
Location Boston MA Thursday at 5:23 pm Both start in East Boston ( the part above the airport)
Victory conditions: either riders vehicle is completely totaled, or batman escapes the southern most part Boston, thus sending dredd home
K.O or Death also Applies, if you can justify the fight
Also take level of experience and years of experience into account

Special features. the wheels can roll against their normal axis, seemingly for added stability in sharp turns or other maneuvers. This also allows for instant changes in direction - if the driver approaches a wall, the Batpod's central frame will rotate to keep the driver upright (the inspiration for this useful chassis feature, though never explicitly mentioned, may well have been the innovative wheel configuration on a Killough Platform, which itself was the product of research into omni-direction mobile chassis)

The incident was handled between 8 and 8:30 a.m. Friday.
"When the (school) counselor and the deputy contacted her (on school grounds), she resisted," said Lt. Mark Hershey. "She had to be taken to the ground… She wasn't happy about that."
The girl started screaming as she was being held by the deputy and school counselor, and the deputy called for backup, Hershey said.
No further details are available at this time.
The girl's name was not released because she is a minor.

What are you most proud of? I did it and enjoyed the process. Learned many new things and want to make another one with a different colour scheme.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Watch the entire video before beginning. Try to have your colour theme chosen before beginning. Next time I would have practiced the darning foot as I haven't used that before. Loved the class and seeing other finished works from fellow classmates for inspiration. My local quilt shop loved it so very motivating. Thank you so much and to everyone who shared their beautiful work.
Loved the colors and the fabrics! Looks like one of those rare sunsets you wish you could capture for ever and you have!
