I'm used to paint to an image in MacOS and paint that in drawRect: unless there is need to redraw. I do this because in some cases I get drawRect events from other controls like NSScrollView, or others I don't know about. I've noticed that doing a setNeedsDisplay in iOS is very expensive and also it looks like it doesn't get called unless I do it manually. To caché or not to caché in ios.. that is my question

About "The Night Goes On"
Lyrics for Kenny Rogers - "The Night Goes On"
You and me walking on the land
But we can lose a stare from time in time
Cos we both get lonely
And it makes me more afraid
As the night goes on.
How long will it take until we know
If we should pray and say I'll let it go
Cos I feel the danger
That maybe we should try to take it slow
As the night goes on.
And the night goes on
Keeping us waiting, keeping us holding on
Til we're not afraid of falling in love
And the night goes on
Don't let it shake us, just let it make us strong
So we're not afraid of falling in love
And the night goes on.
You and me keep talking heart to heart
But why don't we stop talking and just start
Cos it makes me restless
Can't you see it's tearing us apart
As the night goes on '.
And the night goes on '.
I see myself when I look in your eyes
Staring back with a look of surprise
At what's going on
Don't turn back you can get away now
We're just a step from ten feet off the ground
We're alright where we belong
And nobody can say where we were wrong.
And the night goes on

LGs not the only one getting a lot of news today: there were quite a few Samsung related posts coming through. But that's gotta happen when you've got so many devices, right?
Firstly, the T-Mobile Galaxy Tab 10.1 is finally getting ICS. Users, launch Kies now to get your hands on it.
As with most Samsung devices, those who purchase the Galaxy Note II or the Galaxy Camera would get 50 GB Dropbox space. Whether the offer would be extended to those in the US remains a mystery, as AT&T and Verizon had previously opted out of it so as to not pick up the tab for it.
The Galaxy Pocket Duos, a low-end, dual SIM phone, is now official.

Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill Negotiating to Reteam on 'Aloha' (Exclusive)
"The Watch" producer Shawn Levy is looking to reunite the two stars for a Nicholas Stoller-penned comedy at Fox.
Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill and director Shawn Levy might soon be saying Aloha.
Sources say Fox is picking up a Hawaii-set comedy pitch as a development project that would see heavyweights Stiller and Hill attached to star and Levy attached to direct. The trio also would act as producers.
PHOTOS: 'Ben Stiller Show' Alumni: Where Are They Now?
Nicholas Stoller, the screenwriter who worked with Hill on Get Him to the Greek, is in negotiations to pen the script, based on an idea by Hill that Levy, Stiller and Hill fleshed out on the set of The Watch, Fox's sci-fi comedy that opens July 27 and is produced by Levy and his Fox-based banner, 21 Laps. (Akiva Schaffer directs.)
Loglines are being kept close to the vest but it's vaguely described as an island-set comedy. With that Aloha title, Hawaii seems like the probable locale.
The final involvement of the three A-listers will be up to scheduling and Stoller's script, according to insiders.
PHOTOS: Behind the Scenes of '21 Jump Street'
Stiller, Hill and Levy are repped by WME. Stiller is additionally repped by Gang Tyre, Hill by Jackoway Tyerman and Levy by Ziffren Brittenham.
Stoller is repped by UTA and Ziffren Brittenham.

Professional Ratings: 92 Wine & Spirits, 90 Wine Spectator
Region: Chile, South America
Varietal: Merlot
Item no. 62258
Deep, dense red ruby color. Complex and attractive nose of blackberries and cherries. Notes of black chocolate, black pepper and toast. This wine has a full palate with explosive richness, fleshy cassis and black cherry fruit, and nicely, integrated oak. Smooth tannins give this vintage of Cuvee Alexandre Merlot a solid and well-structured frame, finishing with character. The wine can be enjoyed now, but will gain in complexity and harmony with appropriate cellaring.
"Heavy on the toast, with bacon and vanilla dominating the jammy raspberry and blackberry fruit. It's fleshy and ripe, with an alluring dark chocolate finish, but the fruit needs to emerge more. Try short-term cellaring. Best from 2003 through 2005." - Wine Spectator

The Walking Dead Season 2 Discussion *Spoilers*

Re: The Walking Dead Season 2 Discussion *Spoilers*
In other news, did you know there are still contingents of TWD fandom (mostly uber alpha male chest pounders) who are bitching up a storm that Shane was killed instead of Rick?
There's a big grouping of them over at imdb and some on youtube who are bitching about Rick being a murderer, that female fans will desert the show without "hunk" Shane, that TWD would be more interesting with Shane instead of Rick as the lead because Shane got things done....yada yada yada. It's appropos of nothing, but I thought it was funny. Some think both of the characters should still be on the show.
Yeah, Shane murders Rick and takes his family. Just my opinion, but that's a protagonist with no rooting value.
Best disaster animal relief charity around. Don't forget our animal friends. Donate, train to be a volunteer, or be a foster parent for a displaced pet.

An important decision when your investment is yielding handsome profits is whether or not you should close your investment (thus lock in your profits) or hold onto your position and hope for even more profits. Here's how to decide.
To save our Ailing Economy – Build Infrastructure?
Ok. So maybe repairing our decaying infrastructure isn't the best thing to do. Or maybe it is. But it's certainly better than spending billions on fighter planes and giving tax benefits to bankers (who end up destroying the economy). Over the past few years, we've seen the TARP and all these other American recovery programs. Funny thing is, I don't see any difference. All these TARP programs did was temporarily bail us out (actually, they didn't bail us out. They bailed out those who don't deserve help a.k.a bankers). Cash for clunkers. Mortgage assistance. All these things did was to temporarily make the whole picture look nice and rosy. The instant the program ends, everything heads south.
Random Thoughts on Investing – October 2011
I have a lot of thoughts on investing I want to share with you guys. As you may know, I prefer to write long posts, and none of these individual thoughts take a long time to describe. So I've decided to group these thoughts together into the second, monthly Random Thoughts on Investing – September 2011. You may or may not agree with my thoughts, but that's ok. It's always good to read about others' opinions. In the comments section, I hope to read your opinions too about my thoughts.
Should We be Alarmed With the Financial Crisis?
In a modern, global economy where making purchasing decisions is as simple as getting cheap insurance quotes online, the financial state of affairs for the last several years has proven difficult for most. Yet, before the mess of the last financial crisis has even begun to pick up the pieces, the economy threatens to buckle once again. So is it time to panic that we're on the verge of another financial meltdown?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, projected employment will only increase 10.1% by 2018. This is not enough to keep up with the current rate of population growth, much less make a dent in the unemployment numbers that remain stubbornly stagnant at over 9%.
How to Survive and Invest Profitably in a Stock Market Crash
Investing in bull markets is simple. Just buy and hold. Anyone can do that. But investing in a bear market is tough. Here are 9 rules that will help you weather the crash, not necessarily unscathed, but in a much better condition than many other investors.

Predicting the Top of a Bubble: Here's How
In the history of the financial markets, we have experience possibly hundreds of bubbles, from the tulip bubble all the way to the recent Web 2.0 bubble. The question is, how to you spot the top of the bubble, and get out before it's too late? Truth is, it's impossible to catch the top. Near the end of a bubble investors are in a maniac demeanor, hence it's impossible to predict how long and how far the bubble can keep going. Just because the markets are in a bubble doesn't mean they're anywhere near the top of the bubble. However, here are some FUNDAMENTAL signs to watch out for.
Job Prospects Looking Bleak for Educators
When we hear news about the economic crisis and jobs being cut, we usually think of burly manufacturing men standing in the unemployment lines. Most don't think of skilled professionals having too hard of a time getting back on their feet during times of economic duress. Surprisingly, one of the industries losing jobs at an astonishing rate is the public school system. With all of the talk of needing more educated students, taxpayers aren't willing to shill out the extra cash for teachers to keep their jobs. Here are some reasons why investing in a teaching degree may be a bad idea:
Investor Psychology/Sentiment in a Bear Market
In an upcoming post, I'll explain that understanding market sentiment and the psychology of other investors in the market is far more useful than technical or fundamental analysis in a bear market. Here's a wonderful chart of investor sentiment during a bear market. Look below to the right.
In this post, I will detail out exactly what each of these market stages are, and how investors are feeling (what the sentiment is) during each of these market stages. Through understanding psychology, one can predict how other investors will react to certain market events (because human psychology is the one thing that never changes, unless we stop being human).
At this stage, many investors are feeling good about themselves and the markets. It's been a while since the markets touched bottom, and a lot of people have forgotten that equities were once deemed as "dead". The public begins to buy (albeit not too much, afraid that stocks will fall), believing the propaganda from the main stream media proclaiming that stocks will go higher, Higher, HIGHER! A few market analysts are calling a bubble, the general atmosphere amongst investors is optimism. The market data is all good.
This is when things really start to roll. Good times are in, and the public becomes accustomed to buying ever increasing stocks. Most investors are buying with both hands now, believing that stocks have yet to double and triple and quadruple. In other words, bubble on! Risk on! A few of the smart investors and hedge fund managers, contrarian to popular belief, believe that it's now time to short equities and pop the bubble. But of course, no one listens to them, because no one wants to be a disciple of bad news. Market data, of course, comes in with corporate earnings report consistently beating the previous ones.

I see your point here, and why you obviously said such a thing. However, in the end our lives matter more than lives before or after we take our first or last breath. WWII is an interesting 'story', and one you can and must learn a lot from. But while it seems the speaker tells us to almost ignore other "stories", what he really means is to control what we have in our hands and worry less about the past or future we cannot.

Comments & conversations
Dear TEDies, Whoa! So many deep and heartfelt comments. Thank you for sharing a bit of your soul. Small example of PS: A man is sitting on a plane while flying to Toronto. Every ten seconds he hears a shrill laugh and his seat jumps forward as the girl behind him kicks his seat. After five minutes of silent fuming at the girl and her father, who has barely tried to quiet her, he turns around to scold the girl once and for all. To his surprise he sees the girl has Down Syndrome and kicks his seat involuntarily every moment or so. He closes his mouth and his eyebrows soften. His perspective changes completely. He just experienced a paradigm shift.
Wow. Should I try?
But who is TED?
No. No No No. No. No . No No No No No.No. No No No. No. No . No No No No No. What? Why? TED is an organisation. It is run by those vague smiley people who we sometimes see at the end of talks. I think. Is it? There is too much uncertainty regarding what TED is. All we know for sure is that someone chooses very intelligent people to give talks to very rich people, and then shares those talks with very grateful people on the Web. Which of the people in the previous sentence are "TED" ? The core idea behind TED is truth, and while politics can be a very clear and direct business, it is currently sterile from outside "dirty" influences and I honestly believe it should stay that way. All political parties are bias- that is the point of having a point of view. The truth, however, is not bias. That is why TED and politics should not mix.
Dear Dear TEDies, Thank you taking the time to write a reply. However, I would like to point out two things: 1) Try not to hate too much here. We have enough hate and anger swilling around outside. 2) Edward Long gets a bonus point! "(to) proudly wear the label". Good job Edward! Your split infinitives are cool.
An example from Dr. Wik E. Pedia: "The use of the term was advanced by British philosopher Antony Flew: Imagine Hamish McDonald, a Scotsman, sitting down with his Glasgow Morning Herald and seeing an article about how the "Brighton Sex Maniac Strikes Again". Hamish is shocked and declares that "No Scotsman would do such a thing". The next day he sits down to read his Glasgow Morning Herald again; and, this time, finds an article about an Aberdeen man whose brutal actions make the Brighton sex maniac seem almost gentlemanly. This fact shows that Hamish was wrong in his opinion but is he going to admit this? Not likely. This time he says, "No true Scotsman would do such a thing".[2] When the statement "all A are B" is qualified like this to exclude those A which are not B, this is a form of begging the question; the conclusion is assumed by the definition of "true A"." Isn't Anthony Flew a terrific name?
Interesting last 2 sentences. however you can hardly blame her for making herself sound "certain". She was trying to convince people that her view was the correct one. personally i think she explains the "faithful agnostic" part clearly in the second half.
Very ingenious. Too bad Mr. Shaw didn't explain a bit more on how it works: at the end of the talk I unfortunately looked for a "sad" to rate it with...
YO! Cool answers. Oh, and by the way, dear TEDies, whenever answering to the challenge please write "Challenge : " before the answer. Teedle-dee

Re: Was Roddenberry a Terrible Writer?
Roddenberry was a pretty good writer, maybe not to everyone's tastes, sometimes not even mine, but what he turned out was well executed. I think his biggest flaw was in the producing area where he tended to micromanage everything, and stifle the creativity of the people around him.

ADHESION OF RUBBERY POLYMERS TO TIRE CORDS Filed Dec. 19, 1955 Samuel B. Robison Francis R Baldwin Inventors BY M Attorney ADHESION OF RUBBERY POLYMERS T TIRE CORDS Francis P. Baldwin, Colonial, and Samuel B. Robison, Roselle, N.J., assignors to Esso Research and Engineering Company, a corporation of Delaware Filed Dec. 19, 1955, Ser. No. 553,830 14 Claims. (Cl. 154-139) This invention relates to coating compositions for natural or synthetic. fibrous materials, such as cotton, rayon, nylon, etc., to improve the adhesion thereof to rubber such as natural rubber or especially synthetic rubber such as GR-S rubber, Buna-N rubber, and preferably butyl rubber.
More particularly, the present invention relates to coating compositions containing brominated butyl rubber. The invention also involves processes for producing the aforesaid compositions and to methods of employing the same to obtain improved adhesion between a rubber and fibrous filaments, cords, threads, fabrics, etc. particularly inthe presence of phenolic-aldehyde resins. The present invention also appertains to the resulting rubber-fibrous composites produced by the aforesaid processes.
Heretofore, cellulosic and synthetic fibers such as rayon, regenerated cellulose and nylon threads, cords, or filaments have adhered very poorly to rubber and to compounded rubber stocks (especially containing butyl rubber) when they were united and the rubber stock subsequently cured according to any known process of producing adhesion between rubber and fibers. This poor adhesion, especially of synthetic threads, cords, and fabrics to synthetic rubber such as butyl rubber has constituted a very serious obstacle to more extensive use of butyl rubber in the manufacture of automobile tires, reinforced rubber belts and similar products consisting of alternate plies of rubber and cords. Such products are required to adhere very strongly for long periods of time under drastic conditions of high temperature, constant flexing, bending, shock, etc. For example, if nyloncord is.pressed into butyl rubber or a butyl rubber stock and the composite vulcanized, it will be observed that the nylon cord may be pulled away from the rubber with comparative facility.
Butylrubber comprises. acopolymer containing. about 8599.5%, preferably 9599.5% of a C C iso-olefin such as isobutylene, the remainder being a (L -C multi- 0lefin, preferably a C to C conjugated diolefin such as butadiene, dimethyl butadiene, piperylene or especially isoprene. The preparation of. butyl-type rubbers. is described in US. Patent 2,356,128 to Thomas etal. and also inother patents as well as in literature.
According to the present invention, fibrous materials such as tire cords are coated with a phenolic-aldehyde type resin and a brominated butyl rubber which contains at least 0.5, preferably at least 2.0 weight percent combined bromine but not more than about 0.5 N to 3 N, preferably 1.0 N to 1.5 N weight percent combined bromine wherein L=mole percent of the multi-olefin in the polymer. M =molecular weight of the isoolefin. M =molecular weight of the multi-olefin. 79.92=atomic weight of bromine.
2,963,588 Patented Jan. 17, 1961 The invention will be more apparent with reference to.
the drawing in which the single figure is. a cross-sectional In one embodiment of the present invention, fibrous.
materials such as tire cords are first passed through an aqueous solution of a phenolic-aldehyde type resin such. as a resorcinol-formaldehyde resin, having a mole ratio of the phenolic compound to the aldehyde of about 1-1 to about 1-5, and dried. The concentration of the resin in the solvent is preferably between about 0.5% to. 10.0%.
The resulting resin-coated cord is then. dipped intoa solution of brominated butyl rubber or preferably calendered at between about F. to 300 F. with a brominated butyl rubber formulation in which 100 parts by weight of the brominated butyl rubber have been com.- pounded in a composition comprising:
The brominated butyl rubber cement preferably contains about 5 to 50 grams of the above composition plus brominated butyl rubber dissolved in about 50-200 cc. of a rubber solvent such as kerosene, naphtha, straight run material spirits, gasoline, hexane, heptane, benzene, toluene, ethyl chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, etc;
The cords, treated as above-described, are then dried at temperature above about F., preferably above 200' F., e.g. 225 F. The cords may then be embedded in an unvulcanized rubber such as butyl rubber, natural rubber, chlorinated butyl rubber, GRS rubber (a rubbery butadiene-styrene copolymer), Buna-N rubber (a rubbery butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer), chloroprene rubber, etc., and sulfur vulcanized at 250 to 400 F., preferably 300 to 375 F. for about one minute up to several hours ormore to produce a finished article having an improved bond between the coated cords and rubber.-
The above procedure produces superior articles suit able for use in constructing tire carcasses for automobiles; trucks, airplanes, etc. as well as numerous other uses such as conveyor belts and other products built up' of a plurality of laminatious of 'cord' and butyl rubber, etc., the invention being especially applicable to such prod llcts which have at least one layer which is of butyl rubber. The invention may also be applied in uses in volving merely a single layer of a fabric such as nylon, cotton, rayon, silk, etc., which may be either coated on one side or. both sides, with the resin and brominated butyl rubber as described above.
The cure. of the finished articles may be not only in the presence of sulfur or sulfur-containing vulcanization agents, but also by p-dinitrosobenzene, pquinone dioxime, p-quinone dioxime dibenzoate, tellurium diethyl dithiocarbomate, polyalkyl thiuram sulfides such as tetramethyl thiuram disulfide, etc. The cure is also preferably in the presence of basic metalcompounds such as bivalent. metal oxides, e-.g. zinc oxide.
The phenolic-aldehyde resins. which are within the-put, view of, the. present invention may be generally defined as belonging to the class of heat-hardening phenol-aide hyde' type resins, preferably resins from phenolic com-' pounds which, prior to heat-hardening or thermosetting are. water soluble at least to the extent of -10% or more. Such resins are capable of thermally setting in the absence of any added catalysts at temperatures of about l50400 F., temperatures of 200-250 F. being preferred for coating rayon whereas higher temperatures are permissible for nylon.
As phenolic compounds capable of producing resins of the abovementioned characteristics, mono or especially dihydroxy benzenes are satisfactory. Di-hydroxy benzenes having the hydroxyl groups meta with respect to each other are preferred. Satisfactory phenolic compounds include phenol, cresols, phloroglucinol, xylenols, trimethyl phenols, mono or dichlorophenols, diamyl or diisopropyl phenols, p-tertiary butyl phenol, p-phenylphenol, hydroquinone, and especially resorcinol. I
The preferred aldehydes for reaction with the above phenolic compounds include formaldehyde or a material supplying formaldehyde such as paraformaldehyde. Other suitable aldehydes include acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, furfural, etc. The ratio of the phenolic compound to the aldehyde is preferably such that the resin, prior to thermosetting, has substantial water solubility as well as solubility in polar solvents. In order to produce the desired resin, a small amount of an alkali metal containing catalyst or other condensing agent is preferred, If sodium, hydroxide is employed, it is advantageously present in amounts of about 0.02 to 0.5 percent by weight, based on reactants.
The brominated butyl rubber is produced by reacting the unvulcanized rubber with bromine or bromine-containing compounds so that the polymer contains at least 0.5 weight percent of combined bromine but not more, than about 3 atoms of bromine combined in'the polymer per molecule of multi-olefin present therein; i.e. not more than about 3 atoms of combined bromine per double bond in the polymer.
Suitable brominating agents which may be employed are molecular bromine, alkali metal bromites (preferably sodium hypobromite), sulfur bromides (particularly oxygenated sulfur bromines), pyridinium bromide perbromide, N-bromo-succinimide, alpha-bromoaceto acetanilide, tri-bromophenol bromide, N-bromoacetamide, betabromo-methyl phthalimide, and other common brominating agents. The preferred brominating agents are molecular bromine and/or those bromine compounds which are known to lead to allylic substitution, e.g'. N-bromosuccinimide, beta-bromoethyl phthalimide, N-bromoacetamide, etc. The bromination is advantageously conducted at about 30 C. to +l00 C., preferably at about 20 to 80 C. for about one minute to several hours. However, the temperatures and times are regulated to brominate the rubbery copolymer to the extent abovementioned.
The bromination may be accomplished in various ways. One process comprises preparing a solution of the copolymer as above, in a suitable inert liquid organic solvent such as an inert hydrocarbon or advantageously halogenated derivatives of saturated hydrocarbons, examples of which are hexane, heptane, naphtha, kerosene, straight run mineral spirits, benzene, toluene, naphthalene, chlorobenzene, chloroform, trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, etc., and adding thereto the bromine or other brominating agent, preferably in solution, such as dissolved in an alkyl chloride, carbon tetrachloride, etc.
Another variation comprises employing liquid bromine.
Still a further method resides in blending with the solid copolymer a solid brominating agent which is known to lead to allylic substitution such as N-bromosuccim'mide, supra. In such a case, the blend formed is preferably mill-mixed and heated to a temperature sufficient to brominate the solid copolymer. The use of elevated'or depressed pressures is optional since atmospheric pressure rubber (GR-I-lS) were dissolved in 960 grams of carbon tetrachloride. Two milliliters of liquid bromine were then added and reaction was allowed to ensue for one hour at room temperature. The brominated rubbery polymer formed was then precipitated by the addition of excess isopropyl alcohol. In place of isopropyl alcohol, other known non-solvents for butyl rubber may be employed such as C -C alkanols, ketones such as acetone, etc. The rubbery polymer was then redissolved in hexane and reprecipitated with isopropyl alcohol. The brominated rubbery product was then dried at 65C. under a vacuum of 0.1-2.0 inches of mercury absolute. The brominated product compared to the original poly mer as follows:
Original Polymer Brominated Product Iodine No.1l.6 Iodine No. (cg./g.)4.87,
(cg./g.) 2.93 wt. percent combined bromine.
Example I Parts by 1 Weight Component Brominated butyl rubber-AK 100 Pigment (EPC carbon black)" 50 Mold release agent (stearic acl 1.0- Anti-Oxidant (phenyl beta naphthylamme) 0 25 Zinc O e 5.0
Rayon and nylon tire cords were first treated with aqueous solutions of resorcinol-formaldehyde resins hav; ing mole ratios offormaldehyde to resorcinol of 1/1 to 5/1 as tabulated below. The reaction between the resorcinol and the formaldehyde was at 25 C. for 48 hours. The resin concentration was 5 parts by weight of resin per 100 parts by weight of water. The cords were placed beneath the surface of the resin solution which. had been aged for 48 hours and maintained in a beaker by a wire guide. The time of aging may be almost negligible up to about one month or more at room temperature up to about 200 F. The cord was then dried in a circulating air oven at 250 F. for 5 minutes.
The above brominated butyl rubber cement was then applied by forcing the resin-coated cords beneath the surface of the cement by a wire guide and then passed through an air blast to remove excess cement. The cord was then redried for 5 minutes at 250 F.
The cords were then lodged in an uncured butyl rub-.
ber matrix and vulcanized .for 25 minutes at-320 F.;' the matrix having the following composition:
Ingredient Parts by Weight GR-r-r/ 10d M.P.G. Carbon blank 50 Stearic Acid. 0. 5 p-dinitrogoh m ne 0. 5 Zinc oxide- 5.0 Sulfur 2.0 Tellurium diethyl dithlocarbamate -1. 0 Plasticizer hydrocarbon oiU-N 15.0
1 The plasticizer hydrocarbon oil was a paraflflnic base oil having following eharacterlstics:
8.8.0. at F Pour Point, F Flash Point, F
The adhesions of the cords, coated in accordance with the invention, to the matrix were measured bya technique essentially similar to the H test described by Lyons, Conrad and Nelson, Rubber Chemistryand Technology, 26 8, vol. XX (1947). The tire cords used were rayon tire cord of 1650/2 denier ply construction and nylon cord of 840 denier 2 ply construction. The test specimens were prepared with a /2 inch length of treated cordvulcanized into the center of a 1 /2 x /2 x inch butyl rubber matrix composition. The vulcanized rubber matrix was reinforcedwith light cotton duck on the two long sides from which the cord did not protrude. The force requiredto pull the /2 inch length of cord from the rubber block was measured by means of a Scott tensile tester at a 20 inches per minute jaw separation rate. The results were as follows:
Cord Rayon Nylon The above data indicates that superior adhesion is obtained in all instances when employing the brominated butyl rubber cements in conjunction with resorcinolformaldehyde resins. Maximum values of about -7 pounds for nylon and 13-15 pounds for rayon were obtainable heretofore using unmodified butyl rubber. cements in conjunction with resorcinol-formaldehyde resins.
One particular advantageous use for the brominated butyl rubber-phenolic aldehyde resin combinations of the present invention is in pneumatic tires of either the inner tube containing variety or in a tubeless type tire. Referring now to the drawing, the single figure depicts a pneumatic tubeless tire which comprises a hollow-toroidal type member which is substantially U-shaped in crosssection by'virtue of an open portion which extends around the inner peripheryof the member. In other words, the tire is of a tubular type structure which has across section in the form ofan open-bellied body with spaced terminal portions to define a member generally resembling a horseshoe. The terminal portions constitute the bead portions 11-11 of the tire inside of which are a plurality of bead wires adhesively imbedded and molded in a rubber. The outer surface of the bead portion is advantageously formed into an air sealing means, such as a plurality of ribs to aid in adhesion to rim 12 when the tire is inflated.
The outer surface of the tire also includes tread area 13 and sidewalls 14. The open portion of the horseshoe-shaped tire faces that portion of the inner circumference of the tire which is adjacent the said tread area 13 of the tire. The remaining construction of the tire may vary according to conventional fabrication, but in general the tire is a multi-layered type of structure with an outer layer as abovementioned. The layer next adjacent the outer layer generally comprises a carcass 15 which includes a rubber having incorporated therein a fabric composed of a plurality of cotton, rayon, or nylon cords.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, said automobile tire cords are coated first with an aqueous solution of a resinous phenolic-aldehyde condensation product, preferably resorcinol-formaldehyde, and then coated with a cement comprising a solution of brominated butyl rubber in a volatile solvent. The butyl rubber contains at least 0.5 wt. percent combined bromine but not more than about 3 combined atoms of chlorine per double bond in the polymer. The cement also may contain a rubber pigment (filler) such as carbon black, clays, silica, etc.; bivalent metal oxides (or hydroxides) 1 5 Moleratio(formaldehyde/resorcinol) 1/1 3/1 4/1 6/1 3/1 such as ZnO, CaO, MgO, plasticizer oils, ultra accelerators and/or antioxidants etc. The resulting coated cord when driedhas. been found tohave much greater adhesion after vulcanization at 250-400= rubber and other rubbers in the carcass layers of tires.
The tire. also includes an inner lining advantageously made from rubber, e.g. butyl rubber or brominated butyl rubber, which must be substantially impermeable to air. For example, the lining may advantageously comprise natural rubber, a rubbery copolymer, brominated copolymer or mixtures of any of the above wherein the copolymer comprises the reaction product of about to 99.5 weight percent of a C C, isoolefin, such as iso2- butylene, and about 0.5 to 30 weight percent of. a C -C multi-olefin, such as isoprene which has been at least partially vulcanized by heating in. the presence of. a vulcanization agent for several minutes to 5 hours or more at about 200 to. 400 F. The above multi-layers, at least three in number, are conventionally bonded. or
otherwise adhered together, for example, by cementing and/or especially by vulcanization, etc., to form a tire of a unitary structure.
The brominated butyl rubber and phenolic-aldehyde compositions of the present invention may be employed in the tire carcass alone or in admixture with minor proportions of natural rubber or certain synthetic rubbers to include chloroprene rubber, polyisoprene, butadiene or isopene vinyl pyridine copolymers, andparticularly co-' polymers of butadiene with acrylonitrile (e.g. Buna-N rubber) or copolymers of butadiene with styrene such as GR-S rubber, etc.
The intermediate or carcass layer including a rubber and a plurality of fibrous cords and/or fabric,.must be of both desirable rigidity and strength. The performance of this layer is therefore dependent upon the bond or adhesion between the cords or'fabric and the. rubber. Certain synthetic rubbers, and especially butyl rubber does not normally have good adhesion to such fibrous materials, particularly if they are synthetic such as rayon, polyacrylonitrile and especially nylon. The present invention has solved this difficulty and provides a strong bond between butyl rubber and such fibers by employing the coating compositions and coating technique: as hereinbefore described.
While there are above described a number of specific embodiments of the present invention, it is obviously possible to produce other embodiments and various equivalent modifications and variations thereof without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
l. A process for improving the surface tack of a textile fibrous material which comprises coating said material with a phenolic-aldheyde resin and then with a second coating of an isoolefin-multiolefin butyl rubber copolymer modified to contain at least 0.5 wt. percent of a brominating agent to improve its adhesive characteristics but not more than about three atoms of bromine per double bond in the rubber.
2. Process according to claim 1 in which the phenolicaldehyde resin is a resorcinol-formaldehyde resin.
3. Process according to claim 1 in which the brominated butyl rubber copolymer is also in admixture with per parts of said rubber about:

Ask.com "What Does Gluten Free Mean?"May 19th, 2013 at 10:00 pm by Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie
What Does Gluten Free Mean? Ask.com is the latest company to get into the Gluten Free game by adding a new commercial this Spring. Two Cowboys in a classic showdown and the big question … What Does Gluten Free Mean?
People who have Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance have a reaction to the protein found in wheat, barley and rye. The only thing that can be done is to avoid this reaction and adhere to a strict Gluten Free diet. Although oats are naturally Gluten Free, most are grown or processed with wheat. Please read the label to make sure that your product says Certified Gluten Free oats, or that this is a Certified Gluten Free product.
Products that have the Certified Gluten Free symbol have the highest standard of safety. Some products may claim to be Gluten Free but are processed in a factory containing wheat. For people with Celiac Disease, Gluten Intolerance, Wheat Allergies, please be aware and be cautious of consuming those products.
I love seeing fun, positive commercials highlighting living Gluten Free. It helps to get people talking and create more awareness. Happy Celiac Awareness Month!

Gluten Free Baked Potatoes Stuffed with Spicy Chorizo and PeppersMay 18th, 2013 at 11:00 pm by Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie
The Spring rain is falling and we want warm and spicy comfort food! This is an easy recipe to make for a family or group of hungry friends any day of the week. Gluten Free Baked Potatoes Stuffed with Chorizo can be served alone as a hearty meal with a side salad. If you have a really hungry group serve with your favorite fire grilled steak!
Gluten Free Baked Potatoes Stuffed with Chorizo
3-4 medium size Idaho Russet Potatoes
2 1/4 cups Tillamook 4 Cheese Mexican shredded
2 yellow peppers
2 orange peppers
2 red peppers
2 yellow onions
2 Tbs roasted garlic chopped
3 Tbs butter
3 Tbs olive oil
sea salt
black pepper
Aji Amarillo pepper dried
1 package Uli's Famous Sausage – Spanish Chorizo or Chorizo Picante
Wash and pierce the potatoes and bake them in the oven at 425 degrees for 45 minutes to one hour. When the potatoes are done, place the potatoes on a rack to cool for 5 minutes. While wearing hot pads or gloves, carefully slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and place them in a baking pan.
While the potatoes are baking, sauté the onions and peppers with some olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Set aside when done. Cook the chorizo in the pan
Use a spoon to scoop out the potato and place it into a medium size bowl. Add butter, sea salt, black pepper, Aji Amarillo pepper, garlic, 1/4 cup of cheese and mix together.
To make this recipe use non-dairy Earth Balance butter and Daiya Non Dairy Pepperjack and Cheddar Cheese.
Scoop out the seasoned potato mixture and place it back into the skins. Add the cooked Spanish Chorizo on top and add the peppers and onions just before serving. I like to make extra and freeze them in self sealing freezer bags. They heat back up perfectly in the microwave or oven fast and delicious! Make some Gluten Free Baked Potatoes Stuffed with Chorizo, you will be glad you did!
I like to use Tillamook products because they are a local company from Tillamook, Oregon. Over 100 years they have been making the freshest, best tasting natural cheeses in the USA. Tillamook has great company values, working with farmers and cleaning up the communities they work within. For more information about Tillamook products that are Gluten Free, please go to their website.
I copied the information posted on the Tillamook site, asking about specific Gluten Free products.
Do any of your dairy products contain gluten?
Just a few of our products contain gluten. All of our cheese, yogurt, sour cream and butter products are gluten-free (hooray!).
Most Tillamook Ice Cream is gluten-free, too. HOWEVER, flavors that include ingredients like pie, dough, or cake are NOT GLUTEN FREE. Specifically, THESE TILLAMOOK FLAVORS CONTAIN GLUTEN – Caramel Toffee Crunch, Cookies and Cream, Cookie Dough, German Chocolate Cake, Sweet Centennial, Marionberry Pie, Sticky Bun, and Grandma's Cake Batter.
I hope you enjoy this easy Gluten Free comfort food recipe for Celiac Awareness Month!
Please share this recipe to show how easy it is to make a delicious food that just happens to be Gluten Free.

Purple Sunrise Gluten Free Organic Hot CerealMay 18th, 2013 at 9:39 am by Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie
Do you miss a warm bowl of oatmeal? I hear ya'! I am allergic to oats and miss them terribly. No worries my Gluten Free Foodies friends, Purple Sunrise is a healthy and flavorful way to start your day!
Camano Island Mills makes the dried cereal that you make at home. It is fast and easy to make a bowl of just add water to make it on your stove top or microwave. Warm Purple Sunrise Gluten Free Organic cereal made with almonds, forbidden rice, buckwheat, canahua (baby cousin to quinoa), millet, brown rice, amaranth, chia seeds and flax seeds. All Gluten Free, No GMO's , Kosher and so easy to make in just a few minutes. This warm bowl of Purple Sunrise is very satisfying and packed with energy making whole grains to get your day started the healthy way.
I made mine on the stove with water. The directions say you can also make it with your favorite non-dairy or dairy milk. All it takes is a few minutes of stirring, letting it rest and it is done! I added a drizzle of my favorite Ginger Syrup by Morris Kitchen with dried cranberries. I made another bowl with a drizzle of Preserved Lemon Syrup and dried blueberries. It would also be lovely with fresh fruit but I wanted to make this and share this as soon as I could. I keep dried fruit in my pantry for this very reason when I am out of fresh fruit!
The texture of the cereal is so great, you can really taste the almond flavor. I like it without the syrup but just a little really enhances the whole grains. I also tried it with a little Coconut Cream and that just made it even more decadent! Whichever way you try it, I like them all! Keep it natural, try maple syrup or a little of your favorite preserves. My guests really like it too!
Barbara Swartz created her company Camano Island Mills and Purple Sunrise cereal for her daughter that had reactions to wheat. Her family has benefited from eating and enjoying the cereal as well. Read more about Barbara, her family and company on their website. Camano Island Mills is completely wheat free, oat free and vegan. You can order Purple Sunrise directly from their website. You can also purchase it at a few locations in Washington state. They are adding stores a quickly as they can. Barbara says she her core values are to care for her family, community and environment. She has created partnerships with suppliers and is excited about sharing healthy education practices.
I highly recommend buying a few bags from them online. I found that one bag serves 3 bowls. Bring the empty bag into your favorite grocery store. Ask the manager to start selling Purple Sunrise at their store so you can buy it from them. This way you to can share your favorite breakfast – Warm Purple Sunrise Gluten Free Organic Cereal with you community.
Happy Celiac Awareness Month!

Secret Spring Farm Field TripMay 17th, 2013 at 12:31 pm by Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie
Today is Food Revolution Day, a day that is committed to learning about where our food is sourced. I thought it was a perfect day to share a recent visit to my new favorite farm on Bainbridge Island, Secret Spring Farm. It was a great day to get together for a Secret Spring Farm Field Trip for all ages. This small farming family has been back on their homestead for almost 2 years working hard revamping this land that their Great Grandfather, Frank Williams, purchased in 1912. Erik and Felix are cousins and this is where their family history started on Bainbridge Island. Erik is married to Maia and they met at Felix's wedding to Sola, Maia's sister. So Erik, Maia, Felix, Sola and their baby Aine all live on the farm. Did you get that?!?!
I met Erik and Maia a few months ago at a community meeting. When I told them about my blog, I asked if it would be ok to visit them with some friends at their farm. So last week, we decided that we needed a field trip to see what this small farm life is all about. I asked a friend of mine, Shealeen Stabelfeldt (owner of Building Blocks NW) and her 2 adorable children – Maia and Luke to join us for the field trip. Shealeen home schools her children, so this was a perfect lesson on the farm. I invited my mother, Ginger as well. So we put our boots on, grabbed our cameras and went out for our little farm adventure a few miles down the road.
We were greeted by the roosters crowing as they played king of the hill.
Secret Spring Farm has approximately 50 hens and 30 baby chickens. Their flock is a variety of Golden Stars, Black Stars, Rhode Island Red, Astralorpe, Ameraucana. They also have horses and mules to help plow the land. Maia says, "the animals are more environmentally friendly than tractors. She said, "I know how to handle a horse or mule. I don't know how to run or fix a tractor." The farm cats don't get to nap all day. They work on the farm as the special task force on rodent "re-direction" work.
Secret Spring Farm is 6 acres of cleared land where their Great Grandfather planted a dozen apple trees in 1920. They have terraced garden beds where they grow a variety of kale, potatoes, lettuce, fenugreek, asparagus and more. They kept some of the raspberry bushes and grapevines growing nearby. Additionally they have young and old Apple, Cherry and Pear trees. Their hope is that their pear trees will grow tall in 3-5 years so they can make some cider. They are also hoping that the BARN Commercial Kitchen will be built and ready to share the space and equipment with other farmers and artisans to make their cider.
Erik was telling us that their great grandparents lived on the farm and orchard in 1920. They live in the same house. Erik is now in the room that his Grandmother grew up in while she lived in the house. He says that he is amazed to think about it when he has time to go in the room to rest. They recently updated the house to allow for current wiring and technology. Felix works from home and is also the webmaster for their beautiful web site. When he is done with the computer work for the day he steps outside and helps out on the farm.
While we were talking it was quite fun to hear all of the animals in the area. It was a melody of coyotes howling in the forest nearby, the roosters crowing every few minutes and the birds and eagles swooshing by from above. I asked them about unwanted visitors and if they have problems with the animals taking freebies. They said that the coyotes will try to get a "free lunch" when they take a break to go inside. The farmers have installed electric fencing to help deter prey but it is usually on at night time while they are not working. The deer roam and take nibbles or samples and are a bit easier to scare away. The eagles are perched high in the trees surrounding, keeping an eye on the perfect moment to swoop in and grab a feast to bring back to their nest. I asked them, "how do you stop that?" Maia said, "you run about, make tons of noise and move your arms about. It's a group effort but that is about the most you can do. It is farm life!"
I guess I never really thought about having to protect and secure the goods in that way. Today we talk so much about technology security that this just really brings it back to nature and protecting their life's work and investment.
As we toured the farm the hens, chickens and roosters were all around us. I couldn't believe how beautiful they were, so many beautiful colors. The golden and black ones are Ameraucana. The black and white striped ones are Barred. They also have some Astralorpe, which lay their eggs the fastest.
I asked, how many eggs will the hens lay? On average the 3 hens will give you 2 eggs every a day. Roosters just eat, eat, eat!
Maia, grew up with chickens in Rosemeade, CA until she was 8 years old. Her family has had a flock of chickens all their life. When they moved to Arcadia, CA ,they lived on a farm with roosters. Maia's sister, Sola also learned about chickens from a young age. They brought the Ameraucana from their mom's flock in California. I was very curious, I had to ask how they all met. Secret Spring Farm is the perfect small family farm. They all work very well together and each of them have their strengths and special knowledge that make it the perfect mix.
They feed the chickens Organic food. Their plans are to grow Quinoa and other GF grains to feed the chickens to produce GF eggs. You can tell by the color of the earlobes in general. A white lobed hen will lay white eggs, while a red lobed hen will lay brown eggs. Ameraucana lay eggs with colors ranging from khaki green to sky blue. Maia was so great in teaching the children about the animals and how to communicate with them safely. The kids had a chance to hold the chickens, pet the horses and mules.
Eventually the farmers would like to get the farm in better shape to have more people visit the farm. They want to connect with the community by having Secret Spring Farm Field Trip for all ages, so that people can see, learn and experience how their food is grown.
The farm was covered in blackberries when they moved in. They said it took a ton of work to clear it. Their great grandparents had a farm and orchard with big trees that are still there and are 50-80 years old. When they had kids, they stopped the farm and let it grow over. The trees grew big and tall while they raised their family. They would clear cut the trees to sell for lumber. Now that the great grandchildren are back on the homestead, the family roots continue to grow with the farm and some of the original trees.
For now you can find Secret Spring Farm produce, eggs and honey (soon), at the Bainbridge Island Farmers Market and at the Farm Stand at Bay Hay and Feed. For more information about Secret Spring Farm, please go to www.secretspringfarm.com
Later that day I received a very nice treat! An email with the project that little Maia Stabelfeldt wrote about her day on the farm. She also drew a picture. Lovely!

Copper River Salmon Season 2013 in the Pacific NorthwestMay 15th, 2013 at 4:01 pm by Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie
There are 26 Haggen and Top Food stores located in western Washington, with headquarters in the Bellingham, WA area. The chain has started the count down for the coveted Copper River Salmon Season 2013 to begin. Haggen and Top Food Stores offer the freshest, exceptional quality and variety of Pacific Salmon from Mid-May through October. The past 15 years, the grocery chain has partnered with Ocean Beauty Seafoods, based in Seattle.
Our seafood buyers expertise, experience and commitment to source local, sustainable products have also developed a relationship with the Alaskan fisheries. "There is no better place on Earth to buy fresh Pacific salmon than at Haggen!" said Amber Thunder Eagle, seafood buyer at Haggen. "We personally know many of the fishermen that pull these prized fish from pristine Alaskan waters. These deep relationships guarantee that we can offer our customers the best seafood in the Northwest." Amber recently visited Cordova and is sharing part of her journey with us on the video below.
The Copper River Fishery is based in Cordova, Alaska – a small fishing town, just off of the Copper River. The season starts in Mid-May with Chinook (King) salmon and ends in September with Sockeye salmon, and winds down with Coho salmon.
Did you know that the Copper River is nearly 300 miles long, flows powerfully from glaciers high in the Chugach and St. Elias-Wrangell Mountains? This massive body of water has 13 major tributaries, is a mile wide and runs at 7 miles per hour. Dropping an average of 12 feet per mile and draining 24,000 square miles, it is the 10th largest river in the United States. The copper deposits found along the river give it it's name Copper River.
What makes the Copper River salmon so delectably delicious? When the salmon swim upstream to the spawning grounds, it requires tremendous exertion up an extremely intense river system. The salmon stop eating once they re-enter the chilly, fresh water. The salmon have to rely on huge reserves of Omega-3 fatty acids to fuel their efforts. The high amounts of the Omega-3 fatty acids are found in the layer between the skin and underside of the filet. This is what gives the salmon the natural, extra buttery flavor and are what makes the Copper River Salmon the most prized and flavorful salmon in the world. Omega-3 are great for improving heart health, autoimmune disorders and reducing inflammation.
The Haggen and Top Foods stores are so excited they have a
"Enter the Salmon Pool Contest"
Haggen has invited customers to guess the weight of the first salmon to arrive in a Haggen store this year. Customers can enter the Salmon Pool contest at any Haggen or Top Food store from now through May 16.
The customer that guesses the exact weight of the first salmon delivered will receive 3 pounds of fresh Copper River salmon filets, plus a $25 Haggen or TOP Food gift certificate to complete their salmon dinner.
New starting this June, Kulshan Salmon – the next large run from the waters of Kodiak Island. The Sockeye from this run will be delivered to Haggen through the Ocean Beauty partnership. Haggen works directly with Kodiak fisherman like Captain Robert "Roddy" McDonnell, a Bellingham native who has been fishing for more than 40 years. McDonnell captains the Kulshan, named after Mt. Baker, and recruits students from Western Washington University to help crew the vessel.
When Ocean Beauty fishermen like Capt. Roddy and his crew catch the Sockeye, the fish go straight into a fish hold full of refrigerated seawater. Tenders pick up the catch and deliver it to the Ocean Beauty Cannery in Alitak, Alaska. From there, the fish are promptly delivered to the distribution center in Seattle, and then to Haggen.
Amber Thunder Eagle adds, "Ocean Beauty helps fishermen like Captain Roddy stay productive and make sure the fish gets back to the plant quickly. Today, the level of quality and care in handling the fish is amazing. Ocean Beauty still uses respected old-fashioned techniques while also using state-of-the-art equipment to streamline the process."
McDonnell said, "It makes me feel good that when I go to Haggen and see that a shopper could have conceivably gotten a fish from my boat—that this lucky person will get my salmon on their dinner table. It's all about being local."
Stay up to date on the latest news about the first catch of Copper River Salmon Season 2013 to arrive at Haggen and Top Foods click here. You can also find recipes and more information about the stores on this link.
I wanted to extend a special thank you to Haggen and Top Foods for sharing their story with me about their passion to provide the healthiest and freshest salmon to us here in the Pacific Northwest.
I can't wait for my first Copper River Salmon Season 2013 bite!
I'm guessing 56.8 pounds this year!

Celiac Disease – How and Why Is Diagnosis ImportantMay 11th, 2013 at 9:55 pm by Lisa - Gluten Free Foodie
We are fast approaching our mid-month of
Celebrate Celiac Awareness Month for 31 Days in May.
There are 2 things that I want you to know more than anything.
Celiac Disease – How and Why Is Diagnosis Important
1- How Do I get Diagnosed of Celiac Disease?
As I mentioned in my previous posts, there are over 300 symptoms associated with Celiac Disease and may be overlooked as subtle or linked to other illnesses.
According to the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center (UCCDC)
- Only 10% of people with Celiac Disease are diagnosed.
- Approximately 20% of the patients are older than 55 at the time that they are diagnosed even though it is harder to clearly link the symptoms to the disease.
- Celiac Disease affects 3 million Americans
- 97% are undiagnosed.
The UCCDC recommends that if you suspect that you have Celiac Disease, the first step is to get the antibody blood testing. Once you get the blood test results, you may need to have an endoscopic biopsy to further your diagnosis process. .
Please note, according to the Gluten Intolerance Group, you MUST NOT BE ON A GLTUEN FREE DIET prior to testing for Celiac Disease. Removing Gluten from your diet prior to testing may alter your testing results because your body will not be actively responding to the Gluten reaction in your system. The UCCDC also says that you will need to be consuming Gluten for several weeks prior to testing. The following tests may be used to help diagnose Celiac Disease.
**Please consult your physician for testing, diagnosis and further testing information.**
- Anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG)
- Anti-endomysium (EMA)
- Anti-deamindated gliadin peptides (DGP)
Celiac Disease is a genetic disease which means that you need to have the genes in order to develop CD. The tests listed below can be done, to confirm that you have the genes.
2 – Why is getting a diagnosis of Celiac Disease so important?
Celiac Disease is an inherited disease, genetically we may or may not pass the disease on to our future family. Early diagnosing and proper testing is very important to you and your family's health in the future. Once you know that you have Celiac Disease and you adhere to a strict lifelong Gluten Free diet you can avoid various complications due to malnutrition, cancer and additional health complications.
I hope that you find this post about Celiac Disease – How and Why Is Diagnosis Important helpful. Please share this with your family and friends because it is highly likely that they know someone that might need help with getting diagnosed.
I truly want you to live a happy and healthy life with your family and friends. Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mothers and motherly people out there that are taking care of all of us. Thank you!
