The Algerian government has treated the event rather like its military operation during the hostage crisis at a gas facility in the Sahara earlier this year: with intense secrecy and overwhelming force.Two newspapers were censured last week for reporting that Bouteflika's health was worsening, while the government, under the eye of the president's brother Said Bouteflika, insists all is well. Predictably, his blandly reassuring words have persuaded most Algerians that little is well, either with Bouteflika's condition or Algeria's future.

Publisher Comments:
Prologue: Is There a Future? April 1993
In 1989, not long after my partner Wally and I took the HIV test, the pain in my back--which had been a chronic, low-level problem--became acute. I went to a chiropractor I'd seen before, a rough-and-tumble kind of guy with a strange, cluttered little office on a shady part of Main Street in the Vermont town where we lived then. Dr. Crack, as I thought of him, was his own secretary, and furnished his office with all manner of cast-offs and inspirational posters, along with many implements of vague and mysterious use. In general, he did not inspire confidence. He snapped me around with considerable force, and though I felt much better after being treated by him, I also felt a mounting sense of nervousness about the degree of force he used. One day the crack my neck made as he whipped it into place was so loud that I resolved to see the new-age doctor my friends had spoken so highly of instead. She had cured one friend of a nervous tic in the eye simply by massaging a spot on her spine; others swore by her gentler style of manipulation.
On my first visit, as I lay on my stomach in a room full of ferns and charts marking the locations of chakras and pressure points, she touched one vertebra which throbbed, seemed almost to ring, painfully, like a struck tuning fork. I felt she'd touched the very center of the pain in my sacrum, the weak spot where my ache originated. When I told her this, she said that the particular vertebra she was touching represented "faith in the future."
Under her tentative touches--delivered with less pressure than one would use to push an elevator button--my back simply got worse, but her diagnosis was sopenetratingly accurate that I never forgot it. After a while, I went back to Dr. Crack, and my back got better, but not the rupture in my faith.
The test results had come back negative for me, positive for Wally, but it didn't seem to matter so much which of us carried the antibodies for the virus. We'd been together eight years; we'd surrounded ourselves with a house and animals and garden, tokens of permanency; our continuance was assumed, an essential aspect of life. That we would continue to be, and to be together, had about it the unquestioned nature of a given, the tacit starting point from which the rest of our living proceeded. The news was as devastating as if I'd been told I was positive myself. In retrospect, I think of two different metaphors for the way it affected me.
The virus seemed to me, first, like a kind of solvent which dissolved the future, our future, a little at a time. It was like a dark stain, a floating, inky transparency hovering over Wally's body, and its intention was to erase the time ahead of us, to make that time, each day, a little smaller.
And then I thought of us as standing on a kind of sandbar, the present a narrow strip of land which had seemed, previously, enormous, without any clear limits. Oh, there was a limit out there, somewhere, of course, but not anywhere in sight. But the virus was a kind of chill, violent current, one which was eroding, at who knew what speed, the ground upon which we stood. If you watched, you could see the edges crumbling.
Four years have passed. For two of them, we lived with the knowledge of Wally's immune status, though he was blessedly asymptomatic; for the last two years, we have lived with AIDS.
Hishas not been the now-typical pattern of dizzying descents into opportunistic infections followed by recoveries. Instead, he's suffered a gradual, steady decline, an increasing weakness which, a few months ago, took a sharp turn for the worse. He is more-or-less confined to bed now, with a few forays up and out in his wheelchair; he is physically quite weak, though alert and responsive, and every day I am grateful he's with me, though I will admit that I also rail and struggle against the limitations his health places upon us. As he is less capable, less present, I do battle with my own sense of loss at the same time as I try not to let the present disappear under the grief of those disappearances, and the anticipatory grief of a future disappearance.
And I struggle, as well, with the way the last four years have forced me to rethink my sense of the nature of the future.
Because the truth was I'd"never" really believed in a future, always had trouble imagining ongoingness, a place in the unfolding chain of things. I was raised on apocalypse. My grandmother--whose Tennessee fundamentalism reduced not a jot her generosity or spiritual grace--used to read me passages from the Book of Revelation and talk about the immanence of the Last Days. The hymns we sang figured this world as a veil of appearances, and sermons in church characterized the human world as a flimsy screen behind which the world's real actors enacted the struggles and dramas of a loftier realm. Not struggles, exactly, since the outcome was foreknown: the lake of fire and the fiery pit, the eternal chorus of the saved--but dramatic in the sense of scale, or scope. How large and mighty was the music of our salvation!
When the Hog Farm commune came to my town in an old school bus painted in Day-Glo colors swirled like a Tibetan mandala, the people who came tumbling out into the park had about them the aura of a new world. Their patchouli and bells and handmade sandals were only the outward signs of a new point of view. We'd see things more clearly, with the doors of perception cleansed; fresh vision would yield new harmony, transformation. I was an adolescent, quickly outgrowing religion when this new sense of the apocalyptic replaced it with the late sixties' faith in the immanence of Revolution, a belief that was not without its own religious tinge and implication. Everything promised that the world could not stay the same; the foundations of order were quavering, both the orders of the social arena and of consciousness itself. I couldn't articulate much about the nature of the future I felt was in the offing,but I could feel it in the drift of sitar music across a downtown sidewalk, late summer afternoons, and in the pages of our local "underground" newspaper, "The Oracle," with its sinuous letterhead as richly complicated as the twining smoke of the Nepalese rope incense I used to burn. I was sure that certain sorts of preparation were ridiculously beside the point. Imagine buying, say, life insurance, or investing in a retirement plan, when the world as we'd always known it was burning?
One sort of apocalyptic scenario has replaced another: endings ecological or nuclear, scenarios of depleted ozone or global starvation, or, finally, epidemic. All my life I've lived with a future which constantly diminishes, but never vanishes.
Apocalypse is played out now on a personal scale; it is not in the sky above us, but in our bed.
In the museums we used to visit on family vacations when I was a kid, I used to love those rooms which displayed collections of minerals in a kind of closet or chamber which would, at the push of a button, darken. Then ultraviolet lights would begin to glow and
The harmonious existence shared by poet Mark Doty and his companion of many years, Wally Roberts, was shattered in 1989 when Wally tested positive for HIV. From diagnosis to the initial signs of deterioration to the heartbreaking hour when Wally is released from his body's ruined vessel, "Heaven's Coast" offers an intimate chronicle of love, its hardships, and its innumerable gifts.
The year is 1989 and Mark Doty's life has reached a state of enviable equilibrium. His reputation as a poet of formidable talent is growing, he enjoys his work as a college professor and, perhaps most importantly, he is deeply in love with his partner of many years, Wally Roberts. The harmonious existence these two men share is shattered, however, when they learn that Wally has tested positive for the HIV virus.
From diagnosis to the initial signs of deterioration to the heartbreaking hour when Wally is released from his body's ruined vessel, Heaven's Coastis an intimate chronicle of love, its hardships, and its innumerable gifts. We witness Doty's passage through the deepest phase of grief — letting his lover go while keeping him firmly alive in memory and heart — and, eventually beyond, to the slow reawakening of the possibilities of pleasure. Part memoir, part journal, part elegy for a life of rare communication and beauty, Heaven's Coast evinces the same stunning honesty, resplendent descriptive power and rapt attention to the physical landscape that has won Doty's poetry such attention and acclaim.
About the Author
Mark Doty's books of poetry and nonfiction prose have been honored with numerous distinctions, including the National Book Critics Circle Award, the PEN/Martha Albrand Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and, in the United Kingdom, the T. S. Eliot Prize. In 2008, he won the National Book Award for Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems. He is a professor at the University of Houston, and he lives in New York City.

Thread: oil question: warm white?
December 7th, 2006 #1
oil question: warm white?
One of my biggest problems with my palette is that all whites I own are cold ones. Especially some of the mixed whites and glazing whites or permalba white.
I don't think titanwhite is fully neutral, to me it appears to be somewhat cold.
So... anyone knows a warm white?
because warming the white up (with naples yellow or similar stuff) is a way to help out but especially white glazes or warm highlights are a real pain in the neck with those.

i think almost everyone is going to tell you to use naples yellow, white is inherently alot cooler then almost any other colour out there because its so desatured (i think) also look into tinting it with indian yellow, i havent done it yet myself but apparently its highly transparent and really versatile.

true whites are cool.
white essentially has no color, and therefore appears cool.
the only time it appears warm is when it is surrounded by a predominantly warm area,
or is slighted tinted to the warm side of the spectrum (not really making it white any more).
redrook is dead on about indian yellow.
its very vibrant, and just a pinch will really warm up the white.
so, if what you are looking for is something of a very light value that is still warm (and premixed),
unbleached titanium white
or, naples yellow light <<<one of my favorite colors

I agree with all DS's comments, but I have also heard people say that Lead White is warmer than most (but I've never used it). It really is in how you use it though

Im still deciding whether the whole idea of colors being warm and cool is silly. Well, scratch that; I am trying hard to fight the idea that it is silly, out of deference to all the artists who have come before me and assumed this to be true. Im not sure Ill ever be convinced that color is not entirely relative. In the right situation, red can look green. A so-called cool white can be made to look warm if used in company of the correct colors.
But then again, for painting images of lighting situations that are fairly standard, its darn convenient to grab the Naples yellow to lighten a color and add warmth. I suspect the artists who came up with the warm/cool way of thinking werent painting skin tones in purple fog and lit by green and lights. It seems to me like a guideline for painting conventional scenes with conventional lighting and colors.
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.

I think this discussion was why the Art Discussion area is here in the first place- but again, I think it is a way of classifying some very general connotations carried by colors- Day is warm, yellow, red, orange. Night is cool, blue purple, darker greens. Using warm colors at night, unless under a specific light, makes it not seem like night. That isn't to say that all warm mooded paintings only have warm colors or vice-versa- for instance, on a blue background, what stands out better. A purple rock or an orange rock? The orange- (not only because it is blue's compliment), but because it is a warm color. On a predominatly orange BG, what stands out more- a red rock or a blue rock? The blue- for the same reason. It is essentialy a divide in the color wheel to seperate colors of different types- Warm naturally carry a lighter tone, Cool naturally carry a Darker tone- though this is all again, speculation and I could be totally wrong.
December 7th, 2006 #8
odd ly I think we get in to habits of dealing withthings in certain ways..our own personal conventions if you will. Seedling tends to cool light.. YTyranx to worm golden light... I can't deal withthe damn stuff at all so who am I to talk...
I use titanium white for everything cooled or warmed as needed

Almost any tube of warm, light paint you can buy (brilliant yellow lt, even most naples yellow) is going to be mostly white pigment. You just have to learn how to hold the local while lightening a color, same as with darkening. It's almost never simply a matter of adding white.

Color temperature in terms of art - to me, is all about context.
If we're talking lightsource it's of course about hue. i.e. Yellow is warm, blue is cool.
If we're talking shading scale we're talking about saturation/purity. i.e. Adding saturation warms, losing saturation cools. Though perhaps, adding saturation to a cool hue cools?
If we're talking about comparison we're talking relativity and dealing with simultaneous contrast. i.e. A warm red next to a cool red, or a red next to blue - this is a mix of both hue and saturation I believe.
It's very confusing as the terms float around different contexts interchangably.
December 10th, 2006 #12
wow... so much valuable information... thanks a lot for that.
I will try some of this stuff today.
I have to add one thing:
Mussini Glazing White is definitive a lot cooler than titaniumwhite.
I did a study yesterday with Titanium White and Ivory Black in Acrylics. When it was dry I added a GlazingWhite oil glaze and it appeared blueish (not slightly blueish, it was obviously much cooler).
Then I added some warm and cool colors and came to the conclusion that Titanium White is a neutral white and whatever pigment is used in mussini glazing white is a cool white.
December 10th, 2006 #13Originally Posted by Zaknafain
However, putting that aside, there are differences in the qualities of different white pigments, and they're well worth exploring. That Mussini glazing white is probably mostly zinc, which is a relatively cold, transparent white. Titanium is much denser and "pure" white, and much more powerful in mixtures (to the point where it can be overwhelming and "chalky"). Most titanium white paint actually has a small amount of zinc added because it improves the handling qualities. "Mixing whites" like Permalba have a higher percentage of zinc so that they tint more cleanly, while still having the covering power of titanium.

And I want to capture when this window closes. I use the following code:

popup = window.open('http://www.google.com', 'my_popup', "width=800,height=600,scrollbars=no,resizable=yes,status=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,menubar=no");
$(popup.document).ready(function() {
$(popup).on('unload', function() {

Now, I've noticed that the opened window briefly loads "about:blank" and then loads the requested url. At that time, the onunload event is fired. Other posts say that this is normal behavior, but I don't seem to get a 2nd onunload event (using chromium at least).
Anybody have a workaround to suggest?

All services must be available to the public regardless of ability to pay and at no time should a person be refused service due to an inability to pay. 2. Fees to clients should be as low as possible, and should consider the financial situation of the client. 3. Agency may not charge a fee for credit repair nor be affiliated with an organization that does. V EDUCATION 1. Agency must provide a community resource for educational materials and information concerning personal finance and debt issues. 2. Agency shall allocate a reasonable percentage of operating expenses to develop, foster and/or provide a variety of community educational programs (beyond counseling) on money management, budgeting and the intelligent use of credit. VI ACCREDITATION 1. Agency must be accredited by an approved third-party, currently either COA or BVQI (ISO) to the AICCCA Code of Practice, and must be re-certified at least annually. 1 of 4 VII REPORTING 1. All financial books and records of an association member, including all client deposit accounts, must be audited annually within 180 days of the close of the member's fiscal year. Each agency shall provide a copy of its audit opinion letter, if unqualified, and its entire report of auditors, if qualified for any reason. 2. Agency must make reasonable amounts of statistical data (as determined by the Board) available to the Association in order to allow proper presentation of essential information to outside parties. VIII BUSINESS PRACTICES 1. Agency will fully comply with the association's Best Practices Guidelines. (Best Practices Guidelines are outlined on page 4). 2. Agency must not engage in deceptive or false advertising and in all cases should adhere to the highest standards of honesty and fairness. 3. Any materials that discuss debt management plans must include a disclosure regarding the agency's dual role in serving the needs of consumers and creditors. 4. Prior to the receipt of the client's first deposit, an agency must provide each client enrolling in a debt management plan with a reliable estimate of the length of time it will take to complete the plan. This must be provided in writing and identify all creditors included in the plan, the amount owed to and the proposed payment to each creditor, and the anticipated number of months to liquidate the debt. 5. Third parties providing services to an agency are to be held to the same standards as the agency, including, but not limited to, standards for fees and counselor certification. 6. On an annual basis, there will be an independent third party audit of the agency's operating practices to ensure compliance with the standards. Among other things, the audit will confirm the quality of counseling services delivered (as evidenced by quality assurance reports), as well as ensure the agency consistently conducts thorough client financial analyses, screens clients in order to make appropriate debt management plan recommendations, and conducts regular internal quality reviews to ensure a comprehensive counseling process during and after the counseling session. (Note: See Section VI Accreditation) IX CLIENT FUNDS 1. Agency must carry adequate insurance or bonding on all employees with access to agency or client funds, with coverage based on the level of funds handled by the agency. Member agencies must add the Association to their respective Certificate of Insurance bonding policies for the purpose of receiving notice of any potential lapse in coverage due to non-payment of premium. 2. All client funds must be kept in a separate trust account in an FDIC insured, or equivalent, bank or financial institution. X COMMON OWNERSHIP AND/OR CONTROL OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS (Effective January 1, 2006) 1. An agency must avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest in all decisions involving third-party providers of goods and services to the agency. 2. An agency may subcontract a non-core agency activity to a third party as long as no non-independent trustee, family member of a non-independent trustee, or paid officer of the agency has an ownership interest in the third party other than a non-controlling interest in a publicly traded company. 3. An agency may not subcontract a non-core agency activity to a third party where an independent trustee of the agency has an interest in the third party unless: the trustee discloses such interest to the agency's board of trustees and recuses himself/herself from the decision processes related to the third party. In addition, the transaction must either be for a nominal or otherwise insignificant amount; and the transaction was made at or below market rate. 2 of 4 4. An agency may not outsource or subcontract any core activity except to an organization that has received a determination of tax exempt status from the IRS and complies with the standards set forth in this document. Agency is defined as a non-profit credit counseling or debt management service provider that has applied for, or received, a determination of tax-exempt status from the IRS. The term "agency" does not include an organization that has been denied tax-exempt status by the IRS. Core activities of an agency are defined as education, consumer credit and debt management counseling, and related debt management consumer services that are not related to payment processing. Non-core activities of an agency are defined as all other activities that are not core activities. Independent Trustee is: a trustee who is not employed by an agency or by an affiliate of an agency; and who is not employed by organizations or businesses that will receive a direct financial benefit from the outcomes of counseling sessions or the business activities of the agency, such as credit grantors, collection agencies or third party contractors. Non-Independent Trustee is a trustee who is employed by an agency or by an affiliate of an agency. Family Member is defined as a spouse, parent, child, sibling, in-law, wherever they may reside, as well as any person(s) sharing the same living quarters in an intimate, personal relationship. Intent of Section: Recent disclosures of improper arrangements between some non-profit credit counseling agencies and for-profit service providers have the potential to undermine the trust of the public in credit counseling. The goal of this standard is to ensure that the agency adheres to the highest possible standards when dealing with third party and for-profit service providers. Even the slightest appearance of a conflict of interest must be avoided. The subcontracting of non-core services must be conducted on an "arms length" basis from agency insiders. An independent trustee of the agency is only allowed to be financially involved with an entity that receives compensation for non-core activities or services if the amount of financial involvement is nominal or otherwise insignificant and subcontracted at below market rates. The determination of whether an amount is insignificant should be based on the facts and circumstances of the transaction. 3 of 4 Best Practices Requirements The following "Best Practices" are required to be followed by every member agency to ensure integrity, fairness and professionalism in the delivery of those services. Where specific limits are stated they are provided as upper limits that are acceptable, while improved performance is encouraged. 1. FEES – Maximum fees for the "set-up" of a Debt Management Plan (DMP) are $75. Maximum fees, or requested donations, for the monthly maintenance of a DMP are $50. 2. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS – Client funds received for a DMP must be disbursed to the creditors no later than 15 days from receipt of valid funds, or by scheduled disbursement date, whichever is greater. 3. TRANSMITTAL OF FUNDS – Member agencies must utilize available electronic payment processing in remitting funds to creditors. 4. CLIENT/CREDITOR ACCEPTANCE – Debt Management Plans should be established only when they are appropriate, and advantageous to the client. No client will be refused a DMP for minimum balances. No creditor will be excluded from a DMP unless it is beneficial to the client. 5. INCEPTION DATES – Clients must start a DMP, and make their first plan payment, within six weeks of agreeing to the service. Proposals must be issued in a timely manner, but no later than prior to the first payment date. 6. COUNSELING – Appointments for a counseling session should be scheduled within 2 business days of receipt of the request. 7. COMPLAINTS – All complaints should be researched and responded to within 5 business days.

1741Tough Questions
- Sep 1, 2000
Hello People of CostaRicaLiving,
Recently, we were asked to provide information for someone's friend, on several rather difficult questions. It is never good to deal in a one-person removed status with anyone. If your friend does not have a computer, have that friend write out the questions and then transcribe them for CostaRicaLiving.
I will point out some generalities --- Obtaining "Legal Citizenship" is a lengthy process and in my humble opinion, should always be done with a lawyer advising from the very first moment. --- The "Caja" or the primary Social Security Health Coverage is available to anyone living in Costa Rica. One's status is not considered. You must have an address and you must pay up-front if you are applying as an individual and not being covered as a result of your employment. As of 4 August of this year I applied through the 'Association of Residents of Costa Rica'. They are an authorized agent for Caja and this is just one of the many services they help you with as part of your membership. I paid them the first month's fee of $37 for family coverage of one over fifty years old, plus a $5 one-time processing fee. I was given a paper, complete with the required stamp, to take to my "Local" police station along with a recent telephone, TV, water or another similar bill with my present address on it. This does not even have to be in your name, as often is the case here. For no charge, my local police filled this out and I was on to my next required stop --- that of my local Caja Clinic, where they made out my Caja Card with the attached, so far blank, appointment card. That is the total process. No mas!
I have no idea what he has read that you say he does not like about San Jose. To accomplish anything in any foreign country with a minimum amount of aggravation, time and stress sounds to me like the dreams of a North American Type "A" personality. This type rarely adapts well to life in a third world country and should visit the country several times for as long as possible before burning any bridges. Many, many people just do not make it in Costa Rica and soon go back to the States where everything is easy to do and you are able to find all the right numbers in the Yellow Pages. I know of no blueprints to follow in dealing with the local bureaucracy, which is a lot like the equivalent in any other country. Good legal advice is always nice to have when you don't understand the process and maybe not even the language. I won't give any numbers as magic shortcuts to doing every and anything here, even though many other people will be happy to do so --- in fact, you can get a list of magic numbers very quickly in almost all of the Gringo bars in San Jose --- use them at your peril!
Don't worry – sea feliz,

For July Fourth, Mike Madison and his daughter, Brooke, will spend 17 nights camping out in a large, white tent in a parking lot right off U.S. 31W in the middle of Elizabethtown.
That's because the Tennessee twosome are one of 12 vendors selling fireworks in the city — in addition to eight in Radcliff — this week in preparation for Independence Day.
After entering a guilty plea April 7 agreeing to a 12-year sentence for sex acts with a male relative, a Clarksville, Tennessee, man entered a pro se motion Tuesday in Hardin Circuit Court to withdraw the plea.
Riding downtown in a wheelchair, Elizabethtown Mayor Edna Berger accidentally steered into a street sign and a flowerpot. She needed help from two people — including Police Chief Tracy Schiller — to scale a curb's lip.
"You've got to remember this is my first time," she said. "I haven't had any practice."
A Hardinsburg man is in serious condition at a Louisville hospital after a single-vehicle crash on Hardinsburg Road Monday night.
Matthew N. Marple, 42, was driving a white four-wheel drive truck in the 14000 block of Hardinsburg Road when the crash occurred.
Two men pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to robbing the West Point Bank in Glendale of nearly $9,000 last December.
Leonard Duane Sisk, 54, of Cecilia, and Justin Matthew Collinge, 32, of Leitchfield, pleaded guilty to the Dec. 23, 2014 robbery. They were arrested Jan. 5.
A van transporting 10 children from a day care was involved in a three vehicle crash on U.S. 62 Tuesday in Elizabethtown.
At 12:25 p.m., Elizabethtown Police responded to an injury accident at the intersection of U.S. 62 and Kentucky Drive.
Concern over how evidence in sexual violence cases is handled prompted State Auditor Adam Edelen and the Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs to conduct a series of meetings across the state, including a stop today in Elizabethtown.
A man is in stable condition after police say he "exited" a moving vehicle Monday morning on U.S. 31W in Radcliff near the intersection with Vine Street.
The man was a passenger in a vehicle and the woman driving was questioned by police, Radcliff Police Capt. Mac Slack said.
"Neither snow or rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." A tribute to America's postal workers chiseled in granite over the entrance to the New York City Post Office on 8th Avenue.
The Vine Grove Public Works Department started flushing fire hydrants Monday and the process will run through July 19 at various locations around town, a city official said.
The work will be done between the hours of 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. on Mondays through Thursdays. On Fridays and Saturdays work will take place between the hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m.

inXile Entertainment, creators of The Bard's Tale and the upcoming Kickstarter-backed Wasteland 2, are back with Torment: Tides of Numenera. This game is a spiritual successor to one of my favorite games of all time, Planescape: Torment, which you can get at GOG. That game is an RPG classic, and it doesn't fit the traditional save the world plot of pretty much any other RPG. It's also not set in a fantasy realm, which is still pretty unusual for an RPG. It is set in the Planescape multiverse of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. It is heavily dialogue-driven, with most of the plot being developed through conversations, not combat.

Kobe Bryant Divorce: Vanessa Showed Up In Public Without Ring, Is Divorce Back On?
Vanessa Bryant without ring (Photo: twitter)
It's been a turbulent year for Kobe Bryant, both on the court and off. We know about the drama with his Lakers already, and Bryant's almost-divorce with his wife, Vanessa, was made pretty public. The couple eventually worked things out, getting back together this summer after splitting for most of the year.
But now, trouble may be brewing in the Bryant household. Vanessa showed up at a charity event today and posed for pictures, all without wearing her wedding ring.
Remember, this was the infamous two million dollar ring that Bryant got Vanessa after he was accused of sexual assault back in 2003. Charges didn't go through, but Bryant admitted to adultery. And all sources covering the couple's almost-divorce this year cited Bryant's playboy ways as the main reason.

So did Bryant get caught again?
Or maybe Vanessa realizes the Lakers aren't going to win a championship this year? After all, the Mrs famously told New York Magazine she likes to be with "winners".
On the court though, Bryant's situation looks to get better. Steve Nash is all but set to return to the Lakers on Christmas day against the Knicks, and the Lakers have slowly begun to resemble a team that is playoff-bound. As for actually winning the championship? We still wouldn't bet on it.
The couple married in 2001 after Bryant met her at a music video shoot. Vanessa was 19 at the time. The couple have two daughters, and share three mansions in the Los Angeles area -- although Vanessa will get at least one of the mansions if the divorce goes through.

Van Halen's 'Pretty Woman' Featured in Mindy Kaling Super Bowl Commercial
Van Halen is in the Super Bowl! Sort of.
Van Halen is in the Super Bowl! Sort of.
Among all the commercials featuring beer, boobs and big-ass summer movies you'll see during the Super Bowl on Sunday will be a relatively smaller sell for the South American country of Ecuador.
Check out this teaser for an ad that will air Sunday during the Super Bowl to promote an upcoming NASCAR event on NBC. It's clever!
With so many Super Bowl ads and teasers already online, do you think there will be any surprises on Sunday?
As if the war of words between fans of the teams playing in the Super Bowl wasn't already high, we now have a second parody of AC/DC's 'Big Balls' with new lyrics about DeflateGate, the scandal that has rocked the New England Patriots.
Ready for the snacks and commercials? Oh yeah, and football too next Sunday.
I ran across some great recipes for snacks that are worth sharing so here ya go.
A Seattle sports radio station has unveiled a parody of AC/DC's 'Big Balls' about DeflateGate.
Do you know what number the Roman Numeral "L" stands for?
Me neither!
And if you know it's 50, good for you. You're very smart and well-rounded.
The NFL has decided to drop the Roman Numerals for Super Bowl 50 in San Francisco in 2016, because the lonely "L" just doesn't work.
We've heard what countless fans, pundits, and commenters have to say about the Red Hot Chili Peppers miming during the Super Bowl halftime show, and we've gotten an explanation from Flea. But what does Axl Rose think about all this?
The best Super Bowl commercial may very well be one you never saw.
Before anyone knew that Super Bowl XLVIII would turn out to be a flop on the field, the big event kicked off with a great rendition of the national anthem combined with a flyover of US Army helicopters over MetLife Stadium.
No, they didn't play a 45-minute version of Led Zeppelin's 'Dazed and Confused.' In fact, the Red Hot Chili Peppers did exactly what you probably expected them to do as the special guests of the Super Bowl halftime show -- play 'Give it Away' while bouncing around like teenage lunatics.
In this recent teaser for Bud Light's upcoming Super Bowl 2014 commercial, the Governator is warming up for one hell of a ping pong match.

|Bartonville-Based Infantry Soldiers Get Back to the Basics
|News Releases - Military & Veterans News
|Written by Sgt. Jesse Houk, 139th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
|Thursday, 12 July 2012 13:22
CAMP RIPLEY, MINN. (07/11/2012)(readMedia)-- Soldiers from Company A, 1st Battalion, 178th Infantry Regiment in Bartonville participated in squad live-fire exercises at the Infantry Platoon Battle Course as part of the eXportable Combat Training Capability (XCTC) program July 9 at Camp Ripley, Minn.
"This training is the culmination of what we have been doing over the last year," said 1st Lt. Chris K. Rodgers of Macomb, battalion liaison officer of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 178th Infantry Regiment. "This is a validation lane for what we are going to be doing July 12. There the companies will run through platoon-size, live-fire exercises."
As with much Army-based training, a crawl, walk, run approach was used. Soldiers were briefed they were in a reconnaissance patrol, came upon enemy contact and had to destroy the enemy with their weapons, clearing the way for future movement.
"It's a real slow pace right now as we're learning," said Spc. Waylon S. Holland of Columbia, Mo., with Company A. "We spent a lot of time with rehearsals trying to better fit each other. I think this will be foundational and a crucial part to our XCTC experience."
During the rehearsals each squad moved tactically until engaged by pop-up targets and then responded with blank-round ammunition. Soon after, the squads repeated the movement with live rounds.
"This training is simulating (received) contact on a dismounted patrol," said Pfc. Collin A. Watts of Plainfield, with Company A. "We're practicing bounding techniques, which are basic movement techniques within a squad."
Although the movements are basic infantry tactics, the importance of knowing and employing them are vital to mission success and Soldier safety.
"Every infantryman will know this ... this is as basic as it gets," said Cpl. Paul A. Minder of Roanoke, team leader with Company A. "This is something they have to practice; they have to know."
The acknowledgement of risk and the seriousness of the exercise was expressed by others as well.
"It comes down to knowing who's on your right and left, knowing how to communicate and knowing how to give and follow orders," said Capt. Nick P. Camardo of Rockford, Company A commander. "It's essential they know how to take the proper steps and keep the weapon pointed down range and at the enemy. It's important for them to continue to train like this and I'm confident they will be good to go by the end of the day."
Company A made safety a priority and took the necessary precautions to ensure the Soldiers stayed safe throughout the exercise.
"There will be one range personnel, one medic, and two internal company safeties who will walk with every squad," said Rodgers.
After Camardo validates squads, the battalion commander will validate the platoons and then Company A can be validated and complete a large portion of their pre-mobilization tasks.

Hollow, reinforced plastic articles are molded in a closed molding chamber by employing an internal expandable bag to define the inside surface of the article to be molded. A nonstretchable sleeve surrounds at least a portion of the bag so that, when the bag is inflated during the molding operation, the sleeve accurately establishes the wall thickness of the article to be molded.
1. A method of making hollow-reinforced resin articles of accurate wall thickness comprising positioning a hollow lay-up of loosely felted reinforcing fibers against the inner surface of a rigid mold having a cylindrical wall portion and domed end portions, venting said mold, providing in said mold an amount of uncured resin required to form said article, compressing said lay-up with an internally pressurized inflatable core, while confining only a cylindrical portion of the inflatable core with a substantially inextensible sleeve, inflating said inflatable core to a first pressure sufficient to fully expand said core against the interior of the sleeve until said fiber lay-up along said cylindrical portion is compressed to a desired state of compression, while maintaining said state of compression on said lay-up along said cylindrical portion increasing inflation of said core to a second pressure to further compress the portions of said lay-up along said domed ends in regions extending axially beyond said sleeve to a state of compression greater than that developed by said first pressure, curing said resin, deflating said core, and removing said core from the mold.
2. A method as set forth in claim 1, wherein said first and second pressures are selected to produce uniform compression of said lay-up.
3. A method according to claim 1, including the further step of removing the molded article from the mold.
4. A method of making hollow-reinforced resin articles of accurate wall thicknesss comprising positioning a hollow lay-up of loosely felted reinforcing fibers against the inner surface of a rigid mold having a cylindrical wall portion and domed end portions, venting said mold, providing in said mold an amount of uncured resin required to form said article, compressing the lay-up along said cylindrical wall portion to a desired thickness by inflating a member within said lay-up to a pressure sufficient to fully expand said member against substantially inextensible sleeve means, and, while maintaining said thickness by confining only the cylindrical portion of the inflatable member within said inextensible sleeve means, compressing the lay-up along said domed end portions to a desired thickness by increasing said pressure to further compress said lay-up in regions extending axially beyond said sleeve means.
5. A method as set forth in claim 4, wherein said thicknesses are substantially equal.
6. A method according to claim 4, including the further step of removing the molded article from the mold.
7. A method of making hollow-reinforced articles of accurate wall thickness comprising positioning a hollow lay-up of loosely felted reinforcing fibers against the inner surface of a rigid mold having a cylindrical wall portion and domed end portions, venting said mold, providing in said mold an amount of uncured resin required to form said article, compressing said lay-up with an internally pressurized inflatable core, restraining the portion of the core contacting the fiber lay-up along the cylindrical portion when said core portion reaches a first pressure by an inexpansible sleeve portion of said core, after inflating said core to a pressure sufficient to fully expand the core portion against the sleeve, and, while restraining that core portion, further pressurizing the core to additionally compress the fiber lay-up along the domed end portions in regions extending axially beyond said sleeve, curing said resin, deflating said core, and removing said core from the mold.
This is a continuation of Ser. No. 145,237, filed May 20, 1971 and now abandoned.
This invention relates to an improvement in techniques for the manufacture of hollow, fiber-reinforced articles, and more particularly it pertains to an inflatable mandrel to be used in forming the interior surface of molded hollow articles.
This invention is an improvement in the type of molding apparatus described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,977,269 to C. M. Nerwick and U.S. Pat. No. Re. 25,241 to D. W. Randolph. According to the methods described in these patents, hollow cylindrical, fiber-reinforced plastic tanks have been successfully and economically pressure-molded. Generally, these methods include the steps of laying up fiber matting in a rigid mold casing in the approximate form of the desired article. A complete fiber form may include preformed matted fiber end wall caps which telescope into a laid-up, cylindrical sidewall portion.
An expandable bag or envelope which will define the interior shape of the finished article is positioned within the laid-up form in the mold. Rigid casing caps which shape the end walls of the final article are clamped to the ends of the mold casing to enclose the fiber mat form. With the fiber matting and mold thus assembled, the fiber matting is placed under a suitable moderate pressure by expanding the bag to hold it in place against the mold. The fiber matting is then permeated with a thermosetting resin or the like. The bag, besides defining the interior surface of the molded tank and determining the proper fiber-to-resin ratio, compresses the fiber lay-up in such a manner as to avoid migration of fibers with resin flow and resulting destruction of the lay-up.
The use of an expandable bag to compress the fiber lay-up and to form the interior shape of the molded article has been very successful in the production of fiber-reinforced hollow articles. However, more rigid and precise industry standards have necessitated even more accurate control of wall thickness and fiber-to-resin ratio.
According to such prior art techniques, a rubber bag is inflated to a predetermined pressure or series of pressures. The final volume occupied by the walls of the molded article depends principally on the bulk factor of the fiber lay-up, its compressibility, and the ultimate bag inflation pressure. To obtain a predetermined fiber-to-resin ratio in the finished molded article, it is necessary to control the compressed thickness of the fiber lay-up during resin injection and during subsequent molding operations. Variations from such an ideal or optimum final wall section thickness are the result of unavoidable slight differences in fiber lay-up assemblies and variances in inflation pressure. To some extent, the expandable bag does not correct but, rather, complies with deviations of the fiber matting from a desired final wall configuration.
When molding cylindrical hollow articles with domed, integral end walls, it is particularly difficult to maintain uniformity in the thickness of the fiber lay-up over the sidewall and end walls of the article. A given inflation pressure produces interdependent forces on the sidewall and end walls. Thus, it is difficult to adjust the inflation pressure to correct the force distribution on either the sidewall or end walls without affecting the other. If the expandable bag is inflated to a pressure where the end walls are sufficiently compressed, the sidewall of the article may be over-compressed. Over-compression of the sidewall may result in an unacceptably thin sidewall and/or a resin-starved sidewall and resin-rich end walls due to over-compaction of the sidewall lay-up and a resulting high concentration of fibers in the sidewall.
A bag or membrane is provided which, at least as to certain portions of the bag, may be inflated to a predetermined configuration and maintained at that configuration even though the inflating pressure to obtain that configuration is exceeded. The membrane is sufficiently flexible or pliable to be easily inserted into the fiber lay-up and extracted through an opening in the finished article.
Since at least certain portions of the membranes do not appreciably stretch, the walls of the article formed between these portions and the outer rigid mold casing will not vary in thickness when the inflation pressure increases beyond that which is necessary for proper wall thickness.
In the illustrated embodiment the portion of the membrane which will not expand beyond a predetermined configuration is determined by a cylindrical mandrel or sleeve which is slipped over and fixed to the cylindrical sidewall of an expandable envelope, such as a rubber bag. The assembled sleeve and bag are used in the production of cylindrical tanks having domed ends. The sleeve corresponds generally to the cylindrical sidewall portion of a tank. The sleeve cooperates with the cylindrical portion of the outer mold casing to accurately and repeatedly form cylindrical walls of uniform and optimum thickness. Since the sleeve is not appreciably stretched or dilated beyond a predetermined cylindrical configuration when it is subjected to an excess of inflation pressure, the thickness of the end walls of the tank may be controlled by adjusting the inflation pressure in a range above that which is necessary to suitably compress the cylindrical portions of the fiber lay-up.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view of a molding assembly having disposed therein fiber matting compressed between the outer mold casing and the inner inflatable core.
FIG. 2 is a view, on an enlarged scale, of a portion of FIG. 1 taken at an end of the cylindrical wall of the assembly.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the sleeve or mandrel of this invention.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view, similar to FIG. 3, showing a bag assembly according to this invention.
Referring now to the figures, a molding assembly 9 includes a rigid cylindrical mold casing 10 surrounding a cylindrical sidewall portion 11 of a molded article or tank 12 of fiber-reinforced resin. The inner surface 13 of the cylindrical mold casing 10 defines the outer surface 14 of the cylindrical sidewall portion 11 of the tank 12. A rigid, domed mold casing end wall cap 18 is secured to the lower end of the cylindrical casing 10. This domed end cap 18 forms an outwardly convex bottom end wall 19 of the tank. At the upper end of the cylindrical mold casing 10 a rigid mold casing end wall cap 21, similar to the lower end cap 18, is provided to form a top end wall 22 of the fiber-reinforced tank 12.
Fiber-reinforcing material for each end wall 19 and 22 of the tank is provided in the form of cup-shaped fiber pre-forms whose production is familiar to those skilled in the art. A fiber pre-form for the bottom end wall 19 is set into the lower casing end cap 18. A felted mat of reinforcing fibers for the sidewall 11 is laid up within the cylindrical mold casing 10. Mating edges 23 and 24 of the fiber matting of the sidewall 11 and the pre-form for the lower end wall 19, respectively, are mutually tapered to form a smooth wall joint.
After the fiber matting of the sidewall 11 has been laid up in the cylindrical casing 10, the fiber pre-form of the top end wall 22 is inserted into the matting for the sidewall 11. Again, mating edges 26 and 27 of the fiber matting of the sidewall 11 and the pre-form for the top end wall 22, respectively, are tapered to form a uniform wall joint. The top and bottom pre-forms and the fiber mat sidewall form a body which approximates the form of the final article.
The fiber pre-form of the top end wall 22 is provided with an aperture 28 at its center or apex. Ultimately, this aperture may become a port of the finished tank. An inflation tube assembly 29 is inserted through this aperture 28 and a corresponding opening or hole 31 in the upper mold end wall cap 21. The inflation tube assembly 29 is adapted to sealingly clamp a mouth of an inflatable envelope or bag 32 of a rubber or a similar elastic material. The rubber bag 32 and a sleeve or mandrel 33 comprise an inflatable mold core. With the inflation tube assembly 29 extending through the aperture 28, the pre-form for the end wall 22 is positioned inside the edges 26 of the sidewall 11 and the upper cap 21 is clamped on the cylindrical casing 10 to enclose the fiber form. The rubber bag 32 and sleeve 33 in their deflated state are indicated generally by the phantom lines 36. The rubber bag 32 is inflated through the tube assembly 29 to compress the fiber matting of the end walls 19 and 22 and sidewalls 11.
The fibers reinforcing the sidewalls 11 and the end walls 19 and 22 may be loosely felted glass fibers held together with a suitable binder in a relatively compressible and porous form. After the rubber bag 32 and the sleeve 33 are inflated to hold the fiber form against the rigid mold casing 10, 18, and 21, a conventional liquid resin, settable by heat, a catalyst or the like, is then introduced through a supply line 40. The amount of resin introduced into the mold is sufficient to permeate the entire fiber body and provide a slight excess to insure that all of the air will be driven out of the mold through a set of vents 41. The compression of the fiber body lay-up by the rubber bag 32 and sleeve 33 is effective in preventing migration of the individual fibers of the lay-up with the flow of impregnating resin.
As mentioned above, the inflatable mold core includes a rubber bag 32, which is of conventional construction, and a sleeve 33. The sleeve 33 is formed of a flexible but relatively non-stretchable or inelastic material, such as vulcanized neoprenecoated glass cloth with a non-stretch straight weave. The flexibility of the bag 32 and sleeve 33 permits them to be extracted from the interior of a finished tank through the aperture 28. As shown in FIG. 3, the glass cloth may be fashioned from a sheet into a sleeve by overlapping a pair of its edges 46 and 47 and by joining these edges into a longitudinal seam by the application of heat, adhesive, or the like. As shown in FIG. 4, the sleeve 33 is positioned over the cylindrical portion of the rubber bag 32 and may be held in this position by taping it along its ends to the rubber bag.
The sleeve 33 is fabricated so that its outside diameter corresponds to the desired finished inside diameter of the sidewall 11 of the tank. The length of the sleeve is generally equal to the length of the tank sidewall 11. The rubber bag 32 and sleeve 33 may be encased in a protective sheath of polyvinyl acetate film or nylon film or similar material which will protect the molding resin against the chemical action of vulcanizing agents or residues thereof associated with the bag or sleeve.
The inflatable core is normally inflated with air to a final pressure of about 25-30 p.s.i. This pressure is adequate to properly compact the fiber body to form an article having a predetermined suitable fiber-to-resin ratio. Under these pressures, the non-expandable sleeve 33 does not appreciably stretch. The tank sidewalls 11 are accurately and uniformly formed repeatedly from article to article.
In addition to providing uniform sidewall sections, the non-expandable sleeve 33 permits control of the compaction of the fiber end portions of the tank. Since the rubber bag 32 may be inflated to a pressure somewhat above the point at which the sidewalls are satisfactorily compressed without significant stretching of the sleeve 33 and over-compression of the sidewalls, an optimum force distribution on the end zones of the tank may be obtained.
As a result, the sidewalls may be produced with an optimum thickness and the end walls 19 may be likewise satisfactorily compressed to a desired thickness. In the past, when only an expandable and completely stretchable bag was used to compress the fiber body, the bag would tend to over-compress the sidewall pre-form and/or under-compress the end wall pre-forms. With the use of the non-stretchable mandrel or sleeve 33 of this invention, the rubber bag 32 may be inflated to higher pressures than could previously be used to compress the end portions 19 and 21 against the end caps 18 and 21.
The preferred embodiment utilizes a cylindrical, nonstretchable or inelastic sleeve 33 in combination with an inflatable, elastic rubber bag 32 to mold tank wall sections more uniformly than has been possible in the past. The cylindrically formed sleeve may be easily fabricated from a relatively inexpensive sheet of fabric. The dome-shaped ends 34 and 35 of the rubber bag 32, extending longitudinally beyond the ends 48 of the sleeve 33, are unhindered by the sleeve and satisfactorily compress the top and bottom pre-forms. If desired, the inelastic sleeve 33 and rubber bag 32 may be replaced by an inflatable core having inelastic properties in both the cylindrical and end portions.
It is to be understood that the illustrated tank embodiment has been chosen only to represent that type of application to which this invention may be advantageously applied. Obviously, other hollow article or tank configurations are well suited for applications of this invention. The scope of the invention is not limited to the slavish imitation of all the details mentioned above. These have merely been given by way of an example of a presently preferred embodiment of the invention.
