Exactly and when I ask people to provide links to proof of these claims, what do they do?
Post a link to an article from some unknown website that is basing its info off ANOTHER Un-named website.
Even with the recent Pantheon debacle, the developer that went on KTAM Radio said he had statistics, charts, graphs, etc proving that Brad stole nearly 65k and not 40k. Yet he never provided the graphs or any other info and hasnt been heard of since.
On top of that, What is KTAM, its a website with roughly 40 members, a radio show that gets 100 hits max a week, yet everyone is so ready to accept that Brad stole the 40k because a guy with no actual proof went onto that J-List Website and said he did.
Its like you said, people just want to hate him, thats all there is to it.

I'm certainly one of the people who goes out of my way to put a "warning" tag on anything he puts his name on. I was guardedly optimistic about Pantheon, because he has at least had games released in the past - despite whatever issues he may have. I'd say I was hopeful for the game itself, but cautious about trusting him running the show. I have one post here in a positive light for Pantheon, countered by several doom and gloom posts on the board of a game I cannot mention on these forums. Any project he's involved with now is indeed doomed. It isn't 1999. It isn't 2006.
If he's hired by a company to work on a project I would likely be guardedly optimistic again, since there would be others involved - some of them above him in the food chain. But getting that job opportunity is a challenge, based on his own mistakes.
After the Pantheon money issue things have changed. Nothing he does on his own, with his name out front, should be taken seriously. I do believe others should warn people and cite that, so they don't waste their money. If he can get investors, or enough people to donate after that? Great. No matter how many mistakes he makes he has the right to make a game, but it SHOULD be a more difficult road based on the speed bumps and detours he himself has created.
His games being accepted by the public should be just as difficult as Brad getting hired by a MMO developer. That's really the bottom line for me. He shouldn't get a free pass just because his ideas are a bit less of a rehash than what we usually get, or because he was involved in making a good game and a decent one that could have been good.
Hey, maybe he can be in Iron Man 4.

Brad, I am sure, is not a bad person, but he has let his fans down multiple times and the results of his efforts usually result in failure and or a big screw over.
I think the biggest issue with Brad has already been said in this thread, he is not a leader. Great for ideas but to run a business and or have final say in matters is a role he should be kept far away from.

You use words like "usually" and "multiple times"... what big "screw over" happened, exactly? People were let down by the state of Vanguard, and every squarely pinned the blame on his shoulders, despite it being more to do with Microsoft than anyone else.
What other times did people get "screwed over"?

Except when you have it on Kickstarter or Indiegogo you are insuring that you will make a product and if you dont then you can be made to repay all the money. Kickstarter just sued a company recently and refunded all the money to the people who got screwed over by some guy who was making custom playing card decks.
For the most part you are paying for a product before hand similar to a preorder but for this the product is yet to be produced and could take some time to create.
We also know that 45k was taken out of the 150k budget for Brad himself and was 3 months of pay... according to him. How did he expect to make a game that will take years to make on 150k when he is paying himself 15k a month and not paying anyone else apparently at the same time.
Have you seen what he put out recently that was showing off the game? The character designs were bought from another company, the animations were horrible. He also said it was suppose to only showcase the environment, which he could have done without using character models that were not his and showing his ass. 150k and nothing to show for it.

OP, I see many post from you on this thread and others, all in defense of Brad McQuaid. Why is that? Do you know him personally? This is a serious question, not me trying to troll you. Or are you Brad himself? If not, I just find it odd that you would staunchly defend someone you don't know. Despite all evidence to the contrary (circumstantial or not), how can you still defend this man? You act like everyone is on a witch hunt, but what has he done to give you the benefit of the doubt? Again, honest question.

I dont think you understand what you are reading. If you donate on kickstarter and the project is funded then you are guaranteed to get a product, if not you get refunded.
Sounds like you are one of the fans who paid him so he could pay his medical bills. Also yes he did run off with the money. A few months ago he changed everything after he took 45k from the money the fans gave him. He said that any money that went to the project wouldnt be going to the game anymore and that nothing was guaranteed.
You shouldnt take your anger on me, I didnt steal your money.

Meh, i do not care about the latest whatever it is..trying to make a bigger and better EQ was doomed to niche status before the first line of code was written.
That is the issue to me, why support a person that does not see that? Hate him? No, do not know enough about the guy to care that much really. But support or care about his project? No.
Would not give a dime, or a care really, till i saw a produced and released game that was not a re-hash of old games that like to punish you to play them.

On a serious note, since your questioning my credability as a poster, I am not actually "Defending" Brad at all. Im merely adding some conjecture to the rampant 1-sided conversationalists that decide Brad is nothing short of the Doom-Bringer of MMO's. The man doesnt deserve the hatred, and some people still think its ok, it is not.
Theres nothing positive, righteous, or even correct about hating Brad. And do you know why? Because the facts arent there to support the hate.
What do the facts tell us? Brad is a terrible manager and yes, if you dont trust his management skills, you shouldnt give money to his kickstarters, you shouldnt give your money or your time to someone you dont think capable, yes that is all correct. But vilification and staunch judgements dont belong in a logical argument, they just push the real issues down and confuse the rest.

You say you are not "defending him", but then you go on to mention about it not being "righteous" to hate him. Really odd choice of words there. You say it's not "correct"? Again, my honest question to you is, how do you know it's not correct? I'm not saying it is or it isn't, but you're talking as if you yourself are the only correct one here and has all the answers. How can this be? That makes no sense to me, especially since you say you don't know him.
If you're just responding to the "1-sided conversationalists" as you say, why not reply on the threads or places it occurs instead of posting new threads about it? It says a lot that the moment I saw the thread title I automatically knew it was you who had posted it, even before reading the OP. Believe what you want about the guy (I myself don't care about him either way, he's no one in my world), and conspiracy theories aside, I just don't understand practically placing a person up high on a pedestal just because you liked a game he designed a decade ago.
And no, don't worry about me giving money to him or any other bit of "crowdfunding". I don't put out money for products that don't exist.

Sigil missed the first 5 deadlines in a row before microsoft even brought in oversight to check out the game direction and progress.
When the microsoft team saw the lack of progress and the piece of crap sigil was making, microsoft tried to step in and take over the project.
Brad threw a childish little hissy fit just like he did 100 times at SOE. Microsoft gave them three months to catch up the project Sigil ignored them, so Microsoft pulled funding.
Sigil crawled back to SOE and got destroyed on the deal with SOE basically signing over the entire game for nothing.
Hence ended all association between Brad and SOE, and Brad and Microsoft.
I mean honestly when nobody not SOE, Microsoft, Trion, EA, or even PWI want anything to do with Brad, you would think the public would take it as a warning sign.

Does Wendy Davis's Ad Cross the Line in Mentioning the Accident that Put Greg Abbott in a Wheelchair?
Wendy Davis' latest campaign ad was released on Friday. It opens by explaining that Republican Gubernatorial nominee Greg Abbott was disabled after a tree fell on him in 1984, before describing cases in which Abbott, as Attorney General, sided with the relatively powerful, rather than the victims of various acts of negligence. That sounds straightforward, but the ad was, to put it mildly, the source of some controversy. Texas Monthly's own Erica Grieder called it "mean-spirited," while a breathless post on the otherwise-sympathetic-to-Davis lefty magazine Mother Jones insisted that what the ad is really about is "basically calling Abbott a cripple." Abbott himself told the San Antonio Express-News that it was Davis' choice "if she wants to attack a guy in a wheelchair."

Marvellous morning for a moon dance
Early risers will be treated to a spectacle tomorrow morning with a total eclipse of the moon. With a bit of luck the skies should be clear for keen observers to witness the event.

- Permalink
According to John Sunderland from the Latrobe Valley Astronomical Society, the moon will be exactly opposite the sun from about 5.22am on Thursday.
The eclipse will be visible to the naked eye and officially start about 3.25am but John Sunderland told ABC Gippsland's Mornings Program the best viewing will be from 5am, well into partial eclipse phase, to 6.15am.
"You'll actually be able to see the moon entering into the earth's shadow (during the partial eclipse)," he said.
"It won't be completely dark because some of the light from the sun actually filters through the earth's atmosphere. That little bit of light will still be scattered back to the moon and will still show the moon's face a little bit.
"Because that light has come through the atmosphere, it's quite red, the same reason why a sunset is red."
Astronomers are eager to see whether the recent ash cloud which has drifted from volcanic activity in Chile will affect the eclipse in some way.
John Sunderland said the eclipse would be a good photo opportunity, particularly if you can control your camera manually.

"Yesterday, I was talking to a certain someone who knows a lot about the game of hockey. He said he's been following us the last couple of years and said we've done tremendous work and it's a huge jump from where we were five years ago. To hear that from a guy like that is unbelievable. A guy called Steve Yzerman," said Anze Kopitar, the lone NHLer on the Slovenian team and the son of the team's head coach, Matjaz Kopitar.
The Los Angeles Kings center was back in the lineup Tuesday and scored the first goal against Austria after missing the final period of Sunday's game against the United States with a stomach virus. Kopitar will have to be at his best and will be playing big minutes in the hopes of putting a scare into the Swedes.
The game plan is pretty simple, said Rodman, who had two assists Tuesday.
"We've got nothing to lose," he said, "so we just want to play our system well, make as less mistakes as we can and capitalize on our chances and work our ass off."

Caterpillar Inc. is spending $200 million to modernize production of the track component of its track-type tractor.
"Nobody in the world can produce undercarriage like we can with this equipment," Jack Nichols, general manager of Caterpillar's steel products group, said at a news conference Friday morning at Building BB, the facility that makes those components.
The modernization program provides new high-tech equipment that enables workers to produce 30 percent more undercarriage components in the same time that they could previously, Caterpillar group president Stu Levenick said.
The renovation of a building in use since 1929 also will make a big difference, he said.
"If you'd seen this facility a year or two ago, it was like a coal mine. Now it's bright and cutting edge," Levenick said.
"Critics that say manufacturing can't compete in America need to come here."
The modernization of the facility also was hailed by East Peoria mayor Dave Mingus and U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Peoria.
"This is a classic case of how America can compete in the manufacturing arena," Schock said.
Because the owner of a tractor might replace the undercarriage 15 to 20 times during the life of the average machine, Caterpillar tractors sold in South America, Asia or Europe will need components produced in the East Peoria plant, Schock said.
"This is the only place in the world that makes the (undercarriage) parts they need. The more customers Caterpillar makes around the world, the more jobs there are right here," Schock said in addressing some of the 200 employees at the plant along with visiting dealers at the news conference.
Roberto Ortiz, a Caterpillar dealer visiting from Madrid, said the upgrade in undercarriage production is a boost for dealers around the world.
"It allows us to provide our customers with better service," he said.
For more than 100 years, track-type tractors have been produced in East Peoria, dating to when the Holt Co. moved to East Peoria in 1910. Holt later merged with the C.L. Best Co. in 1925 to form Caterpillar.
The undercarriage modernization program is expected to take three to four years to complete, company officials said.

So Yzerman and Shanahan didnt have heart?McCarty didn't have heart?none of them worked hard?What about a guy like Mike Richards?he doesn't have heart or work hard?What a ridiculously stupid comment to make when you have nothing to back it up.Olli Jokinen does not have what I consider heart.Everyone knows he causes problems within the team he's playing for.Just an all around idiotic thing to say.wow.
Finnish players have more heart and they work harder.

I've been on depo for almost a year now and have had only mild symptoms. I use it for birth control and it's done its job so far. The only symptoms I've had were some spotting in the first three months which then disappeared after the second shot I got and weight gain. I did gain some weight but I actually like that since I always been so thin and struggled to gain weight. I love my body even more now. I believe everyone's body is different and depo is different for everyone. I felt like I needed to share my experience. I did try birth control pills and they were just horrible. I was constantly nauseous and my breast were so tender. Depo is honestly the best birth control method for me. I also take calcium supplements every day to help with the bone density loss.
I had the Depo-Provera shit in my buttock 8/15/12. I was my choice of birth control, it was the worst year of my life. I literally had my period for a year straight, after seeing all kinds of doctors and specialist a doctor determined the cause as a bad effect to the Depo shot. I had no sex drive for two years! It was given to rapist in prison to lower sex drive. I lost so much weight due to this drug. Why this is a legal form of birth control and not fully explained by doctored is disgusting to me!!!
I've been on the shot for about seven months now, and haven't experienced any of the negative side effects that I'd heard horror stories about (no weight gain, no acne, no hair in unusual places, no major mood swings, etc). I did have unpredictable spotting for the first three months or so, but now I can't remember the last time I saw anything that looked remotely like a period (let alone a spot) - which suits me just fine. Overall I've been very happy with it, only downside is that I have to keep scheduling Dr.'s appointments to get the injection.
I took my first shot the week before December 10th. On December 10th, I started my period as planned. It was the year 2013. It would not stop for a while. 210 days later, it would stop. But it wasn't just 210 days of period; there was multiple doctor visits and exams, even a trip to the hospital. It took them months before they decided this birth control was not right for me. By the end I had anemia, I was dehydrated due to blood loss, and I developed PTSD months later. PTSD from a birth control. My body believed I was pregnant because I went from 210 days on my period to no period. My body and mind panicked and I began to suffer from severe anxiety. DO NOT DO THIS PRODUCT. Pick any other product. Trust me.
This has been my only use of birth control, ever. I'm on year 3 and I love it. I never have to worry about missing a dosage and going to my doctor every three months makes sure I stay healthy. I had no weight gain, minimal headaches occasionally, and have not had a real period in a long time. My insurance also covers all of it, which is fantastic. Love my depo, couldn't go without it.
I got the shot March 2015 no side effects in the beginning. I started spotting the end of March thinking it was no big deal. I've been bleeding ever since. Which has been really annoying. I was anemic before taking the shot. Since I've been bleeding my blood flow has been spotting light medium and sometimes heavy. I feel nausea almost everyday. I've experienced headaches in the beginning that were really sharp but only lasted a few seconds. My most recent symptom was the pain in my thighs. Which was really annoying. When I spoke to the nurse about prolonged bleeding they say some people bleed longer then others. I know 2 people on the shot, one has no symptoms the other doesn't even want to go back for the 2nd. I guess everyone is different. With my experience I wouldn't recommend it.
I WOULDN'T recommend an animal to even TEST Depo-Provera. I got the Shot the second week of April 2015 and Is May 20,2015 I'm still bleeding. One day when I got up from getting my hair braided lots of blood clots came out. I would have thought I had a miscarriage, it was BAD. I'VE been having heavy bleeding to light every single day. It's soooo annoying. I just thank God I haven't been cramping or having any pain. I Do not recommend a Depo Shot. Its sent from HELL. I LITERALLY PRAY FOR IT TO END. IT'S THE WORST THING I'VE EVER DONE IN MY LIFETIME.
I had the depo shot in December 2009. My periods were every 28 days and a size 8 (UK), after I received this contraception I started to experience severe stomach cramps as explained by my nurse. What I wasn't prepared for was the weight gain, then I noticed my hair was starting to thin. Needless to say I never went back for my second shot. In 2012 I got married and by this stage my face was covered in malasma staining and it was worsening. I went to my dermatologist and they informed me that the staining was likely connected to the depo shot along with my alopecia. Finally, a I had answers a I fell into the 5% rare side-effects of the depo shot. I was offered skin bleaching cream, instead a I opted for Obagi which didn't work. In 2013, my sex drive was rock bottom and a I was looking fat, a I started suffering with acne (never in my life have a I had acne) so, I knew that this was all connected with the depo shot. I was also experiencing severe pain in my ovary. I pushed to get bloods taken, they checked me again for thyroid that came back fine, all my hormones were perfect. They sent me to the hospital to get a vaginal ultrasound and it came back that a 7cm tumour on my ovary, thi
I took this at a planned parenthood after having my daughter. I wish I had never taken it. Immediately I started getting terrible migraines, the kind w aura. I couldn't take care of my daughter without the terrible pain that locked up most of my muscles. I bled for almost 2 months straight. I was irritable and hungry all the time. I didn't go in for another shot but I am still experiencing side effects almost 2 years later bc the hormone stays in your fat cells. I became estrogen dominant and losing the 25 pounds I gained has been a real uphill battle. I'm almost down to my normal 125, but I have to eat very little and work out constantly. I started taking apple cider vinegar to get rid of the excess hormones in my gut. That's helped a lot. But I still have muscle fatigue, headaches, and breakouts. When I finally got my period back, the blood was black and smelled awful. Stay away from this drug that's used to chemically castrate sex offenders in the prison system
I really wish I never had this injection. I had my first shot the 31st March. I have been bleeding ever since. There's no point in having this because I can't have sex. So far I haven't put on any weight and it is convenient not having to remember to take a pill everyday but it's not worth all the bleeding I have experienced. I will not be going for my second shot.

[0001] The present invention relates to built laundry detergent compositions containing anionic sulphonate or sulphate surfactants and a textile softening clay, the compositions exhibiting increased mildness to the skin as well as improved textile softening properties.
[0002] Heavy duty laundry detergent compositions have for many years contained an anionic sulphonate or sulphate surfactant, for example, linear alkylbenzene sulphonate (LAS) or primary alcohol sulphate (PAS), as the principal detergent-active ingredient. These anionic surfactants are frequently used in conjunction with ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactants which give improved detergency on hydrophobic soils. The nonionic surfactants generally have alkyl chain lengths of C12-C18 and degrees of ethoxylation of 1 to 10.
[0003] These anionic and anionic/nonionic surfactant systems are robust and highly efficient on a wide range of soils and under a wide range of conditions, for example, temperature and water hardness. However, they are not noted for mildness to skin. These materials are designed to interact with fatty materials like body soil and protein residues on soiled laundry, and can therefore interact with the skin to give reactions such as dryness and erythema (redness). The milder surfactants used to formulate products intended for prolonged skin contact, for example, shampoos and shower gels, would not perform adequately in heavy duty laundry detergent compositions because of insufficient interaction with fatty materials occurring as soil.
[0004] It has now been surprisingly discovered that the mildness to skin of a laundry detergent composition containing an anionic sulphonate or sulphate detergent and a conventional detergent ethoxylated nonionic surfactant can be significantly improved, without detriment to detergency performance, by the incorporation of a low level of a much more highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant.
[0005] It is also well known to incorporate textile softening clays, for example bentonites, into laundry detergents in order to achieve some softening during the main wash. It is normally necessary to incorporate clays at levels of, for example, 7 to 10 wt %, in order to see a significant benefit. Surprisingly, it has now been found that, when a highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant is also present, significant softening benefits are observed at lower clay incorporation levels. This is especially surprising because, in the absence of clay, the addition of the highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant has a negative effect on softening.
[0006] GB 2 020 688 (Unilever) discloses a high suds washing powder comprising an active blend of an anionic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant. Only one type of nonionic surfactant in combination with anionic surfactant is disclosed.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 4,954,292 (Lever Brothers) discloses a detergent composition which comprises anionic surfactant, PVP and a blend of nonionic surfactants. An example is given which discloses, inter alia, Synperonic A3 and A7 together.
[0008] WO 94 16052A (Unilever) discloses high bulk density particulate laundry detergent compositions containing low levels (typically below 1 wt %) of a highly ethoxylated long chain alcohol, for example tallow alcohol 80EO, the benefit being improved dissolution.
[0009] EP 293 139A (Procter & Gamble) discloses detergent compositions enclosed in two-compartment sachets, the compositions exemplified containing low levels (0.2-0.8 wt %) of tallow alcohol 25EO.
[0010] WO 93 02176A (Henkel) discloses the use of highly ethoxylated aliphatic alcohols as "structure breakers" in high bulk density laundry detergent powders containing conventional ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactants.
[0011] WO 00 08129A (Unilever) discloses mild Particulate laundry detergent compositions based on high-foaming anionic surfactant (for example linear alkylbenzene sulphonate) plus one or more milder cosurfactants, for example, amine oxide or cocoamidopropyl betaine.
[0012] Particulate laundry detergent compositions containing textile softening clays are widely disclosed, for example, in EP 299 575B (Procter & Gamble), EP 313 146B (Procter & Gamble), EP 383 828B (Novo Nordisk and Procter & Gamble), EP 495 258A (Procter & Gamble), EP 753 567A (Procter & Gamble) and EP 582 478B (Colgate-Palmolive).
[0013] The present invention provides a built particulate laundry detergent composition comprising
[0014] (i) from 5 to 25 wt % of an anionic sulphonate or sulphate surfactant,
[0015] (ii) from 1 to 10 wt % of an ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant having an alkyl chain length of from C8 to C18 and an average degree of ethoxylation of from 3 to 10,
[0016] (iii) from 0.5 to 5 wt % of a highly ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant having an average degree of ethoxylation of from 15 to 40,
[0017] (iv) from 0.5 to 5 wt % of a textile softening clay,
[0018] (v) from 10 to 80 wt % of detergency builder and
[0019] (vi) optionally other detergent ingredients to 100 wt %.
[0020] The present invention further provides the use of the combination of a highly ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant having an average degree of ethoxylation of from 15 to 40 in an amount of from 0.5 to 5 wt % and a textile softening clay in an amount of from 0.5 to 5 wt % to increase the mildness to skin and textile softening effect of a built particulate laundry detergent composition containing an anionic sulphonate or sulphate detergent.
[0021] Detergent compositions of the invention contain a conventional anionic sulphonate or sulphate surfactant and a conventional nonionic surfactant, and also contain as essential ingredients a low level of a highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant (iii) which is an aliphatic alcohol having an average degree of ethoxylation of from 15 to 40, and a low level of a textile softening clay (iv).
[0022] The invention is based first on the observation that use or a highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant at low levels to supplement or replace part of a conventional anionic/nonionic surfactant system results in a measurable increase in mildness to skin.
[0023] It is well known and intuitively obvious that the mildness to skin of a formulation can be increased simply by reducing the amount of surfactant. However, cleaning efficiency is then reduced. Surprisingly, it has now been found that addition of low levels of highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant will increase mildness even when the total surfactant level is kept constant, i.e. the high ethoxylate replaces a small proportion of the other surfactants. For example, in a formulation containing 15 wt % surfactant (LAS and ethoxylated nonionic) replacement of as little as 5 wt % of that surfactant is beneficial with respect to mildness, and there is no loss of cleaning efficiency. It is surprising that such a small addition has a significant effect. The effect on mildness is significantly greater than that of an equal amount of alkyl ether sulphate or cocoamidopropyl betaine, both of which are known from the prior art as supplements to increase mildness.
[0024] However, the incorporation of highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant was found to have a negative effect on the softness of washed fabrics. To counteract that, it was proposed to add a textile softening clay as known from the prior art. Surprisingly, it was found that much lower levels of clay than expected were effective, not only to cancel out the negative effect on fabric softness of the highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant but actually to give better softening than if the highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant were absent.
[0025] According to an especially preferred embodiment of the invention, the skin-mild detergent compositions of the invention are free of enzymes, since enzymes can also cause skin irritation to sensitive individuals. However, enzymatic compositions are also within the scope of the invention.
[0026] The Anionic Sulphonate or Sulphate Surfactant (i)
[0027] Anionic sulphonate and sulphate surfactants are well-known to those skilled in the art. Many suitable detergent-active compounds are available and are fully described in the literature, for example, in "Surface-Active Agents and Detergents", Volumes I and II, by Schwartz, Perry and Berch.
[0028] Examples include alkylbenzene sulphonates, primary and secondary alkylsulphates, particularly C8-C15 primary alkyl sulphates; alkyl ether sulphates; olefin sulphonates; alkyl xylene sulphonates; dialkyl
[0029] sulphosuccinates; and fatty acid ester sulphonates. Sodium salts are generally preferred.
[0030] Preferably the anionic surfactant is linear alkylbenzene sulphonate or primary alcohol sulphate. More preferably the anionic surfactant is linear alkylbenzene sulphonate.
[0031] The Nonionic Surfactant (ii)
[0032] Conventional nonionic detergent surfactants are ethoxylated alcohols of the formula
[0033] where R1 is a C8-C20 hydrocarbyl chain, and the average degree of ethoxylation m is generally from 1 to 10, preferably from 3 to 8. The alkyl chain length is preferably in the C12 to C15 range.
[0034] The Highly Ethoxylated Nonionic Surfactant (iii)
[0035] The highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant is an ethoxylated aliphatic alcohol of the formula
[0036] wherein R2 is a hydrocarbyl chain and the average degree of ethoxylation n is from 15 to 40, preferably from 16 to 35, more preferably from 18 to 32, most preferably from 20 to 30. The average degree of ethoxylation may even be from 22 to 30.
[0037] The alkyl chain length may range, for example, from C12 to C20. In commercial materials containing a spread of chain lengths, these figures represent an average.
[0038] The alcohol may be derived from natural or synthetic feedstock.
[0039] Desirably, the highly ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant is a solid at ambient Temperature, so that it may conveniently be incorporated in the compositions of the invention in the form of separately admixed granules. Because these materials are solid, no carrier material is required in the granules: especially preferred granules are substantially 100 wt % pure and have a particle size within the range of from 100 to 2000 micrometres.
[0040] Where the alkyl chain is linear or only lightly branched, the chain length is preferably at least C16, more preferably from C16 to C18. An example of a highly preferred material of this type is Lutensol (Trade Mark) AT25 ex BASF, which has an alkyl chain length of C16-C18 and an average degree of ethoxylation of 25.
[0041] Where the alkyl chain is more highly branched, for example, contains at least three methyl groups, a shorter chain length may be suitable.
[0042] Another highly preferred material for use in the present invention is Lutensol (Trade Mark) TO20 ex BASF, which has a highly branched C12 (average) alkyl chain containing on average from 3 to 4 methyl groups (including a terminal methyl group), and an average degree of ethoxylation of 20.
[0043] Both of these materials are waxy solids at ambient temperature and are available in pure granular form suitable for postdosing to detergent compositions.
[0044] The Textile Softening Clay
[0045] Any clay having a textile softening effect may be used. Bentonite clays are especially preferred. Examples of suitable commercial materials include Laundrosil (Trade Mark) PR212 ex S d-Chemie, a white Ca/Mg bentonite agglomerate predominantly in Ca form; and QPC 200 g ex Colin Stewart Minchem which is a white Ca-based bentonite agglomerate.
[0046] The textile softening clay is present in an amount of from 0.5 to 5 wt %, preferably from 1 to 3 wt %. This is considerably lower than the usual levels used in laundry detergent compositions exhibiting softening in the wash, which are typically 7 to 10 wt %.
[0047] The textile softening clay is preferably present in the form of separately admixed (postdosed) granules.
[0048] The Detergency Builder
[0049] The compositions of the invention also contain from 10 to 80%, preferably from 15 to 70% by weight, of detergency builder. Preferably, the quantity of builder is in the range of from 15 to 50% by weight.
[0050] Preferably the builder is selected from zeolite, sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium carbonate, sodium citrate, layered silicate, and combinations of these.
[0051] The zeolite used as a builder may be the commercially available zeolite A (zeolite 4A) now widely used in laundry detergent powders. Alternatively, the zeolite may be maximum aluminium zeolite P (zeolite MAP) as described and claimed in EP 384 070B (Unilever), and commercially available as Doucil (Trade Mark) A24 from Ineos Silicas Ltd, UK.
[0052] Zeolite MAP is defined as an alkali metal aluminosilicate of zeolite P type having a silicon to aluminium ratio not exceeding 1.33, preferably within the range of from 0.90 to 1.33, preferably within the range of from 0.90 to 1.20. Especially preferred is zeolite MAP having a silicon to aluminium ratio not exceeding 1.07, more preferably about 1.00. The particle size of the zeolite is not critical. Zeolite A or zeolite MAP of any suitable particle size may be used.
[0053] Also preferred according to the present invention are phosphate builders, especially sodium tripolyphosphate. This may be used in combination with sodium orthophosphate, and/or sodium pyrophosphate.
[0054] Other inorganic builders that may be present additionally or alternatively include sodium carbonate, layered silicate, amorphous aluminosilicates.
[0055] Organic builders that may be present include polycarboxylate polymers such as polyacrylates and acrylic/maleic copolymers; polyaspartates; monomeric polycarboxylates such as citrates, gluconates, oxydisuccinates, glycerol mono-di- and trisuccinates, carboxymethyloxysuccinates, carboxymethyloxymalonates, dipicolinates, hydroxyethyliminodiacetates, alkyl- and alkenylmalonates and succinates; and sulphonated fatty acid salts.
[0056] Organic builders may be used in minor amounts as supplements to inorganic builders such as phosphates and zeolites. Especially Preferred supplementary organic builders are citrates, suitably used in amounts of from 5 to 30 wt %, preferably from 10 to 25 wt %; and acrylic polymers, more especially acrylic/maleic copolymers, suitably used in amounts of from 0.5 to 15 wt %, preferably from 1 to 10 wt %.
[0057] Builders, both inorganic and organic, are preferably present in alkali metal salt, especially sodium salt, form.
[0058] Other Detergent Ingredients
[0059] As well as the surfactants and builders discussed above, the compositions may optionally contain bleaching components and other active ingredients to enhance performance and properties.
[0060] These optional ingredients may include, but are not limited to, any one or more of the following: soap, peroxyacid and persalt bleaches, bleach activators, sequestrants, cellulose ethers and esters, other antiredeposition agents, sodium sulphate, sodium silicate, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, other inorganic salts, proteases, lipases, cellulases, amylases, other detergent enzymes, fluorescers, photobleaches, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, other dye transfer inhibiting polymers, foam controllers, foam boosters, acrylic and acrylic/maleic polymers, citric acid, soil release polymers, fabric conditioning compounds, coloured speckles, and perfume.
[0061] Detergent compositions according to the invention may suitably contain a bleach system. The bleach system is preferably based on peroxy bleach compounds, for example, inorganic persalts or organic peroxyacids, capable of yielding hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution. Suitable peroxy bleach compounds include organic peroxides such as urea peroxide, and inorganic persalts such as the alkali metal perborates, percarbonates, perphosphates, persilicates and persulphates. Preferred inorganic persalts are sodium perborate monohydrate and tetrahydrate, and sodium percarbonate. Especially preferred is sodium percarbonate having a protective coating against destabilisation by moisture. Sodium percarbonate having a protective coating comprising sodium metaborate and sodium silicate is disclosed in GB 2 123 044B (Kao).
[0062] The peroxy bleach compound is suitably present in an amount of from 5 to 35 wt %, preferably from 10 to 25 wt %.
[0063] The peroxy bleach compound may be used in conjunction with a bleach activator (bleach precursor) to improve bleaching action at low wash temperatures. The bleach precursor is suitably present in an amount of from 1 to 8 wt %, preferably from 2 to 5 wt %.
[0064] Preferred bleach precursors are peroxycarboxylic acid precursors, more especially peracetic acid precursors and peroxybenzoic acid precursors; and peroxycarbonic acid precursors. An especially preferred bleach precursor suitable for use in the present invention is N,N,N′,N′-tetracetyl ethylenediamine (TAED). Also of interest are peroxybenzoic acid precursors, in particular, N,N,N-trimethylammonium toluoyloxy benzene sulphonate.
[0065] A bleach stabiliser (heavy metal sequestrant) may also be present. Suitable bleach stabilisers include ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA) and the polyphosphonates such as Dequest (Trade Mark), EDTMP.
[0066] Although, as previously indicated, in one preferred embodiment of the invention enzymes are preferably absent, in other embodiments detergent enzymes may be present. The detergent compositions may also contain one or more enzymes. Suitable enzymes include the proteases, amylases, cellulases, oxidases, peroxidases and lipases usable for incorporation in detergent compositions.
[0067] In particulate detergent compositions, detergency enzymes are commonly employed in granular form in amounts of from about 0.1 to about 3.0 wt %. However, any suitable physical form of enzyme may be used in any effective amount.
[0068] Antiredeposition agents, for example cellulose esters and ethers, for example sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, may also be present.
[0069] The compositions may also contain soil release polymers, for example sulphonated and unsulphonated PET/POET polymers, both end-capped and non-end-capped, and polyethylene glycol/polyvinyl alcohol graft copolymers such as Sokolan (Trade Mark) HP22. Especially preferred soil release polymers are the sulphonated non-end-capped polyesters described and claimed in WO 95 32997A (Rhodia Chimie).
[0070] Product Form and Preparation
[0071] Powders of low to moderate bulk density may be prepared by spray-drying a slurry, and optionally postdosing (dry-mixing) further ingredients. "Concentrated" or "fcompact" powders may be prepared by mixing and granulating processes, for example, using a high-speed mixer/granulator, or other non-tower processes.
[0072] Tablets may be prepared by compacting powders, especially "concentrated" powders.
[0073] The invention is illustrated in further detail by the following non-limiting Examples, in which parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise stated. Examples according to the invention are designated by numbers, and comparative examples by letters.
[0074] Skin Mildness Tests
[0075] Skin mildness was determined using the corneosurfametry (CSM) method as described by G Pierard et al, Dermatology 189 (1994) pages 152-156, on pigskin and on human skin.
[0076] Model formulation solutions were prepared containing the following ingredients:
[0077] The solutions were buffered to a pH of 10.5 which is typical for wash liquors.
[0078] The tables below show the surfactant systems tested and the CSM values of the solutions measured on pigskin and human skin. The higher the CSM value, the milder the formulation. The abbreviations used for the surfactants are as follows:
[0079] Using the CSM method on pigskin, the improvement in skin mildness effected by the addition of the highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactant TO20 was compared with the improvements obtained using the same amounts of sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES) and cocooamidopropyl betaine (CAPB). The results are shown in the table below.
[0080] High bulk density non-enzymatic laundry detergent powders were prepared to the formulations given below:
[0081] Typical wash liquors based on the formulations of Comparative Example Q and Example 9 (prepared by dissolving 115 g of formulation in 14.5 litres of water) are significantly milder than one based on the formulation of Comparative Example P.
[0082] Softening in the Wash Tests
[0083] Softening was assessed by means of a tergotometer test in which terry towelling monitors were washed then assessed by an experienced panel.
[0084] In each experiment the tergotometer vessel contained one litre of wash solution containing 3.8 g of the formulation under test in water of 27 degrees French hardness at 40� C. The wash liquor was mixed for 5 minutes and the monitors (three 20 cm2 pieces of desized terry towelling) were then added and washed for 35 minutes at an agitation of 60 rpm. After 35 minutes the vessel was emptied automatically, the monitors were rinsed three times for two minutes in demineralised water (1 litre per rinse), spin-dried for 1 minute, and then allowed to dry for 1 hour.
[0085] After three washes the cloths were dried flat and then conditioned overnight by storage in a controlled environment at 20� C. and a relative humidity of 65%. They were then assessed for softness by experienced panels of assessors by paired comparison for 1 hour.
[0086] 9 out of 12 panellists (at a 90% confidence level) observed an increase in harshness for the cloths washed with Comparative Example Q, compared with those washed with Comparative Example P.
[0087] 15 panellists (at a 95% confidence level) observed a large increase in softness for the cloths washed with Example 9, compared to those washed with Comparative Example P.

I'm probably most well known to my friends for...
I'm probably most well known to my friends for my playful, sarcastic banter and generally quick wit. I can be rather adventurous and trying new things. Comfort zones are meant to be pushed. I've accomplished a lot in my life and I'm happy where I'm at. I'm just looking for the next step to keep pushing my adventures forward. Some randomness: I'm a pretty big movie buff and love a well interjected movie quote. I'm pretty awesome at singing in my car. I kinda love food a lot, but I generally eat fairly healthy-ish. I can be a bit of a beer snob and I'm currently working on my wine snob license. I enjoy watching soccer on TV; I know, I'm weird. My real background is design and my current job is just a cover to make me look smart. I turned my mom into a fantasy football junkie. Despite having a quirky, easy going and sometimes random side, I am very driven in life – professionally, socially and creatively. My job has been my priority recently, but now that I'm more established with my company, things are starting to slow down. It can sometimes still be the bane of my social life, but it's a path I enjoy. My family is extremely important to me and have done more than I could have ever hoped for. I'm proud of the morals and traditional values they've instilled in me. Sundays are a family day and I wouldn't want it to be any different. Whether it's playing sports, running or going to the gym, I live a fairly healthy and active lifestyle. I love sports for two simple reasons: winning is incredibly fun (I'm competitive) and they provide some of the best social events. After taking a break, traveling is becoming a priority for me again. I can't wait to knock another location off the bucket list. Bavaria is my favorite area, though Prague holds a special place in my heart. Any suggestions on where to go next?

Sydney Shines, but Asia Markets Mostly Slip
Australian stocks ended at their highest level in nearly a year, with BHP Billiton leading miners after saying it wasn't aware of the basis for speculation it planned to buy Woodside Petroleum and offering updated details on a continuing share buy-back.
Many other major markets declined, with Japanese stocks losing ground after data showed February's core machinery orders fell a sharper-than-expected 2.3% from the previous month.
"The market is feeling quite nervous," said Okasan Securities strategist Hideyuki Ishiguro. "If February is this bad, post-quake March will be even more severe."
The Nikkei Stock Average fell 0.5% to 9719.70, facing selling pressure after the benchmark jumped 1.8% on Friday to clinch gains for a third successive week.
Sony dropped 1.5% and Sharp gave up 0.8% on news of suspended operations at domestic plants. Concern about delays to their production in the wake of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami pressured automobile stocks, with Toyota Motor and Nissan Motor falling 2.4% each, while Honda Motor gave up 2.2%.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. the owner of the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, was one bright spark, soaring 19.1% after the Tokyo Stock Exchange temporarily imposed higher margin requirements to trade in the stock.
South Korea's Kospi fell 0.3% to 2122.39, China's Shanghai Composite dropped 0.2% to 3022.75, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index gave up 0.4% to 24303.07, Taiwan's Taiex shed 0.2% to 8880.27 and India's Sensex fell 1% to19,262.54.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were up 13 points in electronic trading.
Defying the weak regional trend, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 rose 0.6% to end at 4971.20—a level it hasn't seen since April 2010.
Shares of energy producer Woodside, up as much as 7.6% at one point during the session on speculation BHP was preparing a bid, finished 1.9% higher after BHP said it was "not aware of any basis for the market speculation." BHP itself extended gains after the statement to finish 3.8% higher, its best performance since late May. The gains were supported by news that the company had completed an off-market share buyback of 6 billion Australian dollars (US$6.33 billion)
Energy shares other than Woodside also posted gains, as crude-oil prices briefly went above $113 a barrel. May crude futures were recently down 32 cents at $112.47 a barrel after rising as high as $113.46 earlier on Globex.
Shares of PetroChina gained 2.8% in Hong Kong and 0.1% in Shanghai and Inpex Corp. rallied 3% in Tokyo.
The high crude-oil price also raised hopes for higher prices for other fuels, spurring buying in regional coal miners. Macarthur Coal rose 1.2% in Sydney, while China Shenhua Energy Co. and China Coal Energy Co. rose 0.7% and 0.8% respectively in Hong Kong; the companies' Shanghai-listed shares added 3.2% and 0.8%, respectively. Coal India Ltd. was up 0.1% in Mumbai trading.
Airlines retreated, however, on worries about rising fuel costs. Qantas Airways dropped 3.2% in Sydney, Korean Air Lines fell 2.6%, Cathay Pacific Airways skidded 0.5% in Hong Kong and Singapore Airlines fell 0.4%. Jet Airways India was down 1.8% in Mumbai.
Base metal producers and miners also clinched gains following firmer metal prices Friday. Rio Tinto rose 2.4% in Sydney, Aluminum Corp. of China, or Chinalco, rose 1% in Hong Kong and 1.7% in Shanghai and Korea Zinc climbed 0.8% in Seoul.
Shares in Mumbai were lower as a weaker-than-expected 3.6% increase in February's industrial production failed to dispel worries the Reserve Bank of India would raise interest rates next month.
"We remain particularly nervous about the impact of the monetary tightening [so far] on the interest rate-sensitive parts of the economy, while the jump in oil and other input prices is also likely to take its toll on profit margins," Credit Suisse economist Robert Prior-Wandesforde wrote in a note to clients.
Shares of heavyweight Reliance Industries were down 1.5%, tractor and utility vehicle maker Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. was off 2.4% and Tata Motors was down 3%.
In Taipei, concerns over the rising Taiwan dollar's potential impact on exports weighed on most technology shares. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing gave up 2.5% and Acer fell 2.4%. But handset maker HTC rose 3.5% after several brokerages raised their price targets following the company's stronger-than-expected first-quarter earnings Friday.
"Although there are still concerns about the effect of the Japanese earthquake on tech companies, the biggest factor for now is the rising Taiwan dollar and the impact it will have on Taiwan's electronics exports," said Grand Cathay Securities analyst Mars Hsu.
Elsewhere in the region, New Zealand's NZX 50 gained 0.5%, Philippine shares fell 0.3% and Singapore's Straits Times Index fell 0.8%. Indonesian stocks inched up 0.1%. Thailand's SET fell 0.6%.
In foreign-exchange markets, the euro was at $1.4452 from $1.4480 in late New York trade Friday, and at 122.27 yen from ¥122.89. The dollar was at ¥84.58 from ¥84.82.
Spot gold was at $1,471.90 per troy ounce, down $3.10 from its New York settlement on Friday.

Cannot understand all the comments about Israel being an apartheid state. Who wants to wipe whom off the map? I have yet to hear ANY Israeli leader threaten to obliterate Palestinians or ANY other people group. It is the Palestinians that vow to destroy Israel. The marvel is that Israel allows ANY Palestinians access to the Holy Land.

KNTRLR Debuts New Track 'CCA'
KNTRLR originally started as an outlet for bastard songs. Michael Henry and CharLes Davis have played for 10+ years in indie rock bands, but when they realized they were more interested in electronic music and rap, KNTRLR was born. KNTRLR may be an electronic production duo, but it contains the kinetic energy that can only come from humans beating on instruments. Live they play with friends they know from the NY music scene who help fill out the sound and provide an energy you can't get with samples streaming out of a laptop.
KNTRLR "is": Blown out electronic samples; Sweaty dancefloors at airport Marriotts; Tom Waits; Dudes in their 30s; David Lee Roth; Chicago juke music; Cheap frozen drinks; Death Grips if they worked in Manhattan's Panini District; Musical instruments from Radioshack; Music blasted into the howling emptiness of space.
KNTRLR are: CharLes Davis grew up in LA and experienced success at a young age with appearances on popular early-90's programs like "Wild Animal Games with Ryan Seacrest", as well as a random smatter- ing of made-for-TV movies. Quickly disenchanted with acting, he refocused his creative energy on music and learned to play the drums. Again, early success - it wasn't long before he was opening for 80's new wave one-hit wonders Missing Persons and holding psychedelic greenroom philosophy salons with Rick James. Michael Henry, on the other hand, had a strict Christian upbringing in Oklahoma and was groomed for Seminary School until he abandoned the road of righteousness.
For those on the east coast, the band also has some upcoming shows this fall in Philadelphia, New Jersey and their home turf of Brooklyn; head below for more show details. Currently on Goodnight Records, the band will be releasing their debut LP in the late winter/early spring of 2014.
