"Court chooses watchdog for Indian trust reform effort"
The plaintiffs in a long-running court case filed against the federal government to straighten out its management of American Indian trust funds have asked a federal judge to begin a second trial in January to settle the matter of how much the government owes.
Citing court-appointed monitor Joseph Kieffer's July report that said the Interior and Justice departments haven't attempted to account for money owed to Indians—despite a December 1999 decision ordering them to do so — the plaintiffs representing Indians in a class-action suit requested that a second trial be held to find an exact amount, which could reach several billion dollars.
"The first Kieffer report uncovers and confirms what plaintiffs have claimed all along, that defendants have not taken—nor did they ever intend to take—the steps necessary to fulfill their duty to account to individual Indian trust beneficiaries," according to the motion.
Plaintiff spokesman Phillip Smith declined to comment, saying the motion "speaks for itself." Interior officials could not be reached for comment.
The motion follows a separate opinion issued by a court special master late last month, finding that DOI officials routinely recorded over e-mail backup tapes containing messages that potentially could have been relevant to the trust funds case.
The special master rejected the government's claim that hard copies of e-mail records provide the same information, and found that DOI officials "had sustained a policy of overwriting e-mail backup tapes and destroying potentially responsive evidence on the thin reed that they were under no obligation to do so," according to the opinion.
It's not clear how a final amount would be determined. There are tens of millions of trust fund records in Interior's possession, many stored in boxes or outdated computer systems. Many more have been destroyed or lost during more than 100 years of management.
The implementation plan for the Bureau of Indian Affairs' Trust Asset Accounting Management System (TAAMS), a national system designed to handle trust-related documents, includes "data cleanup" as a major step.
In March, Interior's special trustee for American Indians, Thomas Slonaker, testified before Congress that TAAMS won't be fully accurate until historical data is corrected.
Interior has held Indian-owned lands in trust for more than 100 years, leasing the properties and managing revenues earned off them through farming, oil drilling and other activities. Longtime mismanagement has left landowners and descendants unable to know how much money is in their accounts.

1999 Chevrolet Blazer Q&A
1999 Chevrolet Blazer Question: Rear Output Shaft Seal
Is this a common repair? I replaced this at 56000 miles, again at 70,000 and now it's leaking again at 86000 miles. - spoltlady
Answer 1
Even if this was common, it shouldn't be re-occurring every 15,000 miles. There may be a worn out bearing or bushing that is causing the seal to go bad. Have the shop check for excessive lateral movement in the output shaft (which will cause failure of the seal) - Bret Bodas

Journal: Catholics have jumped the shark 16 16
I'm not Catholic, but even if I was:
1) I do not recognize this ball of mud in space as "our Sister, Mother Earth". How long before Catholics, who already come dangerously close to or cross the line into worshipping false idols, refer to it as "the Blessed Holy Mother Earth"? Water is blessed to make "holy water", so when will dirt be? Say three Hail Gaia's and you're absolved of your sins against "her"? I'm envisioning a creepy earth cult a la the movie Avatar. Stop the madness. Stop making little godlets out of other people and mere things.
2) This "sister" is not now crying out to us nor never has, because it doesn't have vocal chords and it's not alive. It's a giant dirtclod that has living things on it, most of them soulless/not made in God's image and therefore as valuable as the rock they live on.
3) I will not say a prayer for "our Earth". I don't pray for inanimate objects. Nor do I deify them.
These are based on an article I read at lunch about it this week on ArsLeftica. I ignored what the author said about the Pope's writing, and refer only to the quotes. Which appalled me enough; I don't care to read the original source on this one. (I don't want to know fully how bad it is.)
p.s. Note that I consider Catholics to be my fellow brothers in Christ. Same with Mormons. I trust that our acceptance of Jesus will enable us to go to the place that's the best. (Where I guess it'll all be straightened out.)

Agreed, Larimar definately NOT as shown
Par Shellie
de Calgary
I'm giving five stars because I like this so much better than as shown with just the Larimar. I could see why someone would be disappointed as it is very different than shown with the amber top pendant.I love this shade of larimar as it has lots of veining and still bright blue. I have another larimar set which has much more white in it, still lovely but that is what you get with natural stones.My second set of these so I'm obviously happy.

Not as Advertised
Par Lisa
de Burnaby
I own many pieces from this line and have never been dissapointed. However this time I am. I ordered the amber and larimar set but when it arrived it only contained larimar in both the pendant & earrings. You can clearly see online that it should have both amber and larmiar in it. So of course I am sending it back and will have to pay the shipping charge which is very unfair when it was not what was advertised. I gave it 3 stars becuase it is a lovely set but not what was advertised or what I wanted.

Bit Disappointed
Par nightowl
de Vancouver BC
I bought the cherry set for my niece. It arrived today in the mail. The pieces were loose in the box, they should have been at least been placed in a small bag in the box. The color was not what I had expected. I order the cherry color, however the product is very dark, almost as if it were black. I bought these as a gift and I intend to still give them as a gift. You should check with your production line to make sure everything is packaged correctly. Thanks.

Love the green amber
This should be more than 5 stars. I didn't think the amber would look as pretty as displayed on TV because I have been disappointed before. It is gorgeous. The setting is fantastic for both the pendant & earrings. Nice dainty chain again. I would purchase again to give as gifts in a heartbeat. Wonderful purchase.

Learn basics of Bartitsu in Leaf River Jan. 21
Staff Report
LEAF RIVER, Ill. — People who have seen the current Sherlock Holmes movie A Game of Shadows should surely know that a "New Art of Self Defence called Bartitsu" was introduced to England in 1898 by Edward William Barton-Wright to defeat the fearsome street gangs of Edwardian London.
Bartitsu combined good, old British pugilism with Japanese jiujitsu, the French kicking-style savate and defense techniques using a gentleman's walking stick, developed by a Swiss named Vigny.
Allen Reed (Leaf River), "Professor of Antagonistics" at Gallowglass Academy, Inc., will offer a day-long, hands-on introduction to Bartitsu Jan. 21 (with a snow date of Feb. 11).
The class is open to men and women, and no martial-arts experience is necessary. Participants should wear comfortable workout clothes, and should bring a sturdy walking stick, cane or 3/4-inch to 1-inch diameter dowel rod about 36 inches long. If available, bring a fencing mask or closed-face martial arts headgear and heavily padded gloves (hockey style) or equivalent.
Gallowglass Academy requires groin protection for men.
"Professor" Reed will call the class to order at 10 a.m. at River Valley Complex, 605 S. Main St., Leaf River, Ill.
"Professor" Reed cannot guarantee, of course, that he can teach students to dispatch four thuggish assailants in the time a man can catch an apple tossed into the air. "Those are techniques for a more advanced seminar, " he said.
For more information, call (815) 973-1064 or log on to www.GallowglassAcademy.org.

The following cases should give errors:
if 3 then x$
if %pi then x$
if "hello" then x$
if [1] then x$
if matrix(...) then x$
if {1,2,3} then x$
(other cases?)
because the constants or containers cannot evaluate to booleans regardless of the lexical environment. Perhaps the same should be true of expressions whose top level is an arithmetic operator, e.g.
if x+1 then ...
if 1/x then ...
but I suppose the arithmetic operators could be overloaded (using pattern matching) to return boolean results in some cases.
I ran into this problem when I mistakenly assumed that Maxima followed the Lisp convention that non-false was true:
if assoc(x,'[["+","-"],["*","//"]]) then ...
when x was "+". Instead of getting an error message, I got an unevaluated conditional
if "-" then ...
which made no sense at all.

From what I can tell, the parser indeed looks to see if the first argument of "if" is a Boolean expression, but the test is weak -- it only detects non-Boolean expressions for operators which are declared non-Boolean via the POS property. The parser's test appear to pass patently non-Boolean expressions such as numbers.
prefix ("@@", 100, expr, expr);
if @@ 1 then a else b;
=> Incorrect syntax: Found algebraic expression where logical expression expected
Same result with other operators which have POS = $EXPR e.g.: + . ^ ^^
Maybe changing NUD-CALL in src/nparse.lisp is enough. Here is the current version:
(defun nud-call (op)
(let ((tem (and (symbolp op) (getl op '(nud)))) res)
(setq res
(if (null tem)
(if (operatorp op)
(mread-synerr "~A is not a prefix operator" (mopstrip op))
(cons '$any op))
(funcall (cadr tem) op)))
Here is a version which causes if 1234 then a else b; to trigger an error:
(defun nud-call (op)
(let ((tem (and (symbolp op) (getl op '(nud)))) res)
(setq res
(if (null tem)
(if (operatorp op)
(mread-synerr "~A is not a prefix operator" (mopstrip op))
(if ($numberp op) (cons '$expr op) (cons '$any op))) ;; changed this line
(funcall (cadr tem) op)))
Probably ($NUMBERP OP) should be something more complicated. We want to rule out numbers, strings, what else? Maybe objects such as matrices, lists, and sets?

29 year old woman | Washington, DC, USA | Seeking men 26-36 within 10 miles
Fun and social girl looking for someone who can keep up, but will keep me company on those nights in!
I'm fun, bubbly, social and career-oriented. My job requires me to be out a lot, so it's good to have those qualities! I'm a huge live music fan and am always down to try out new bars and restaurants. I grew up in a super small town in WV, but couldn't wait to move to the city since I can remember. I have adapted to city life just fine and I love it! Though I love going out, I also enjoy my evenings at the gym spinning or staying in cooking and watching shows/movies. LOVE Dexter, Trueblood, Mad Men, Breaking Bad.. I will be perfectly honest and say that DC dating has not been that easy since I moved here 3 years ago. It's always been one extreme or another with the guys around here, so that is what's lead me to Match! I'm looking for someone who shares a similar lifestyle as me and is confident in their self. A good conversation holder is a MUST. My perfect match would be someone who keeps busy, but wants to make time for a strong, caring, honest relationship. Someone who likes to go out, see shows, into good food and have more than 1/2 a brain. Oh, and being easy on the eyes would be nice too ;) Message me if this sounds like you! PS- I'm not really into putting my entire life story here.... I'd rather talk about the important stuff in person!
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Dancing, Running, Skiing, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
I go out a lot on H St, Adams Morgan, Columbia Heights and 14th St. My friends and I love Granville Moore's on H St and Red Rocks and Wonderland Ballroom for brunch. I also travel a lot visiting friends or getting away for a weekend!
I'm a lover of all things wine, craft beer, coffee and fun restaurants! I'm into going to movies. I've also just gotten into Breaking Bad and Mad Men. OH - I'm a huge live music fan! You can find me at 9:30, R&R, Black Cat and other local venues!
On any given weekend you can probably find my girlfriends and me occupying a couple bar stools in the area. I love to go out whether it be for dinner, drinks, brunch or a show. I also love going to the movies, or being outside on a lovely day :)

30 year old man | Norcross, GA, USA | Seeking women 18-35 within 50 miles
What am I doing?
I'm fun, kind, love to travel, love to meet new people, and always willing to try new things. I still like to party but I like to make sure to do that after I achieve my work goals or if I have something reasonable to celebrate for. I've graduated college in 2010 and planning to attend graduate school to enhance my career. I put my family first because I believe family will always be there for you during your hard and good times which is something you will never get from anyone else. I love to travel around the world and meet new people and understanding different cultures because you learn to respect everyone instead of being stubborn of your own ways. I always try to put myself in others perspective and never try to judge anyone for what society might make them of. I was born and raised outside of US and if you want to get to know me better, maybe I'll tell you a little more about where I'm from. I don't know what else to put on here... I'm a huge sports fan, but football is my number one sport. Love the outdoors, camping, fishing, ski, and anything that has to do with the ocean. Who am I looking for...? Someone who has a soft heart, respectful, fun to be with, able to take jokes, adventurous, and values themselves to the best standards? Can't really say what my type is or not but I know that there's always someone for everybody and I'm looking forward to meeting that special woman of my life. I love a woman with a good talent of anything, which I think is really sexy and it could be anything from being skilled with an instrument, singing, or even beer pong. What else..? Someone who appreciates their life everyday and knows how to make a bad situation into a optimistic state of mind to keep away from stress.
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Skiing, Soccer, Swimming, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
Ultra Conservative
Anywhere I can enjoy with a good company.
I can have fun with anything in any situation.
I rather watch movies or documentaries, reading is my favorite sleeping pill.

How effective is Virginia's smoking ban?
On Dec. 1, 2009, bars and restaurants across Virginia were ordered to put out their cigarettes or renovate their buildings to accommodate non-smokers. A year and a half later, how effective is the ban?
Under the smoking ban, no establishment that sells food can allow smoking, unless it has a separate smoking area, with a door between the smoking and non-smoking sections, and at least one entrance that opens into the non-smoking area.
Initially, a number of bars refused to comply with the law. Many smokers, like Virginia Commonwealth University junior David Turko, a self described "barfly," objected to the ban.
"When you're a smoker, you go to a bar and drink," Turko said. "They go together like milk and cookies."
He said a few places, like Bandito's and Joe's Inn, still allow smoking. But workers at both bars said they are now in full compliance with the law.
"We have all the required facilities," said Tina Kaftaris, a bartender at Joe's Inn. "We have separate smoking facilities with its own heating and cooling, circulation and entry."
Health officials say that while most restaurants are in compliance, the law is difficult to enforce, because the punishment is just a $25 fine, and police are reluctant to spend their time pursuing such a small amount.
"The way the law was originally written … the most a person could be fined was $25. For the police to respond to a call, send an officer out there, write up somebody and go to court, the cost of that would be far over $25," said John Shellenberg of the Hampton Health Department.
"I am unaware of any police department in the state that has actively enforced the smoking ordinance."
But Shellenberg says he has found a new way to enforce the ban: persuading the Alcoholic Beverage Control board to make compliance with the smoking ban a condition of a restaurant's liquor license.
In one case, Shellenberg said, "The agent wrote up a violation against the owner, against his ABC license; we had the hearing; and the eventual outcome was the hearing officer found them guilty of violating it. They were given a choice – either a [$500] fine or a suspension of their ABC license for a week."
According to Shellenberg, one bar already has been fined and is now working to comply. He hopes the other holdouts will follow.
"One of the remaining places has already voluntarily decided to stop smoking in their establishment and pursue compliance," Shellenberg said. "We have two that have not, that we have sent 30-day notices to, that unless they do get in compliance, we will work with the ABC again and violate their ABC license."
Many bartenders say that despite their initial reluctance, the smoking ban hasn't been a problem, and they're glad it's there.
"It's a pain in the ass to have to go outside to smoke during the winter," said Chris Merkin, a bartender at Empire Lounge. "But it's nice being able to work as a bartender and not come home with black boogers."
Gary Hagy, director of the Virginia Department of Health's Division of Food and Environmental Services, says that overall, the law has been extremely successful.
"Since the bill went into effect, we're now at 98 percent of restaurants are in compliance with the law," Hagy said. "I think when we have the record showing 98 percent of our restaurants are in compliance, that's a pretty good success there."
What Does the Smoking Ban Say?
Any establishment that serves food must:
Post "No Smoking Signs" clearly and conspicuously
Remove all ashtrays and smoking paraphernalia from the non-smoking areas
Make sure at least one entrance from the outside leads directly into the non-smoking area
If smoking is allowed, restrict it to a separate area with a separate ventilation system
Moreover, no staff members may be required to work in the smoking section

OMG, this is so amazing!! The lemon "drizzle" was so good for something so simple! I found the artichokes to be a little on the tough side, but the chicken was cooked perfectly per the gas grilling directions. I will make this again and again this summer!!!flag if inappropriate
I did it with chicken halves - the grilled lemons make the dish. Perfect summer meal with a cold wheat beer and more lemon!flag if inappropriate

"A lot of things, towards the end of his life, patterns that we saw and things that worried us, it makes sense now," Gina Seau said of her ex-husband's diagnosis.
Jamal Anderson's Facebook page
More than 100 former professional football players Thursday joined the growing list of those who are suing the NFL over concussion-related injuries.
Junior Seau is the latest ex-NFL player to commit suicide, leaving some to question whether these cases may be related to brain injuries the men suffered during their playing careers.

Speculation on WWE Fatal 4 Way, Viewer's Choice Returning, Jericho
by Amish Patel - June 13, 2010
Partial source: F4Wonline.com
– Apparently WWE is looking to do the Viewer's Choice concept on RAW at least once a year from now on.
– Chris Jericho has been in Los Angeles for the past week filming ABC's new game show Downfall, which he is the host of. Jericho is expected to be on tonight's RAW.
– There's a lot of speculation regarding what's going to happen with WWE's Fatal 4 Way pay-per-view as the event is less than one week away and only two matches have been advertised – the WWE Title match and the World Heavyweight Title match.
There was some discussion about totally re-writing the pay-per-view after last week's NXT invasion on RAW but there's on word yet what they decided to do. It's interesting to note that no guest host has been announced either for next Monday's RAW from Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Most of the old tutorials have no images (broken links) which makes them kinda worthless since sometimes the tutorial is an image!
GFX Tutorial Archive
Posted 25 August 2014 - 02:54 AM
Images don't load because most of them were hosted on sites such as Photobucket, etc and the images or owners of the accounts are no longer active and the images are binned systematically.
However, I suggest that if you do supply a tutorial, that users need to make it a text format as well, just because of this issue.

I try the code like this:
my @rows = getRows($sth);
$self->stash(rows => \@rows);
The getRows is a sub function name, and the code works in template. The $rows is a Array.
I write code like this:
$self->stash(rows => \getRows($sth));
The $rows is a REF, It's wrong.
If write code like this:
$self->stash(rows => getRows($sth));
The $rows is a HASH, It's wrong.
Is there any way to write the two line code in one?

FLEXIBLE MATERIALS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention concerns expandable sheet material having at least one adhesive or nonslip rubber like surface thereto.
2. Description of the Prior Art Sheet material of this type are, for example, the generally known band or sheet shaped adhesive bands or creped material having a limited stretch characteristic.
Furthermore, double adhesive bands are known which comprise an inner foil or woven insert and an adhesive layer at each side thereof. These bands are used to connect two surfaces together, for example for securing a floor covering to a floor. Having regard to the expensive character of the materials, it is usual to provide such material in strip form only and to secure the floor covering only along spaced lines, this requires a great deal of labor and great difficulties are encountered in avoiding a waviness orundulations in the fitted floor covering.
' Heat sensitive connecting sheets are also known, such sheets are placed between two articles, softened by the application of heat, to render them tacky, and allowed to cool and solidify to connect the two articles together.
The application of a pressure sensitive adhesive to the whole of a surface; and especially to a part of the surface, such as on the back ofeatpetsflequires that a pre-treatment be carried out on the said surface possiblyas a manufacturing step in the production of the carpet. It is preferable to apply a pressure sensitive adhesive in strip form to the back of carpets, but such a course is not possible owing to problems of transportation, the strips of pressure sensitive adhesive, generally 2 to 5 mm wide, cause difficulties .in transportation. Finally carpet underlays are known which are produced by interweaving threads particularly jute threads in leno weave and subsequent impregnating such threads with latex, the impregnated sheet being vulcanized to give an adhesive rubber like net, which laid between the carpet and the floor, should prevent slipping. However, the net easily displaces.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The primary object of the invention is to provide a sheet material of the aforementioned type having some or all of the following characteristics.
a. it should only be applied on part of the surface of the substratum b. it should be compact and readily and easily transportable c. it should allow of the attainment of a satisfactory connection between carpet and floor d. it should, in certain embodiments only, adhere temporally and then be capable of being removed e. it should be durable f. it should be light g. it should be of a favorable price.
According to the present invention a sheet material has slits passing therethrough which allow an enlargement of the initial surface of the sheet material in at least one direction.
Within the meaning of the present invention a slit is to be understood as being a cut through the material having an opening dimension in the transverse direction of the cut or slit substantially equal to zero.
The adhesive sheet materialmay consist of a web like carri er having a plurality of slits, provided on one or both surfaces with an adhesive substance, or a self supporn'ng track or rib pattern in sheet or foil form. In the latter case the track or ribs itself has a suitably high cohesion or it contains material nonadhesive per se such as loose fibers. These self supporting adhesive substances may be sticky and sensitive to pressure at room temperature or they may be non-adhesive at room temperature, activation of the adhesive being possible by means of, for example, solvents, heat or other treatments known per se and including activating means such as high frequency radiation or ultrasonics. The sheet material can have adhesive at one surface and one anti-slip surface. For example, the structures may comprise carpet underlays thin or insulating carrier material (foam material, felt, rubber) which are inherently superior to known loose nettings as regards anti-slip properties, the sheet material being capable of ready attachment to a floor and receiving the carpet to be held loosely and in non-slip relationship thereon.
Such a product can be produced by suitable impregnation of the two opposite faces of a suitable flat carrier material or by coating one side of a sheet material, itself having non-slip properties, with a pressure sensitive adhesive for example with a latex bonded or a latex impregnated fibrous fleece, or with a sheet of latex or resilient plastic, for example a vinylacetate ethylene co-polymer onto which a pressure sensitive adhesive can be applied.
Should the adhesive sheet material be produced in roll form, which is particularly favourable, particularly with products having adhesive coating on both sides known nonadhesive separation layers are provided. In this case the slits can be made either before or after application of the separation layer. If the slits are made after application of the non-adhesive separation layer or layers the laminated product is first stretched and one side of the exposed adhesive surface thereof is then secured to the substratum, for example a parquet fiooring material, by pressure, and after removal of the separating sheet covering the adhesive surface thus exposed adhesive surface is pressed against the old floor and holds the new flooring material in place on the floor that is being covered.
If only the adhesive coated sheet material is provided with slits, it can be drawn from a supply roll and separated from the unslitted separator sheet whilst being stretched to the required dimension as, the separator sheet is drawn off in the opposite direction. This method has the advantage of easier withdrawal from the roll and if, for covering a space some 6 meters in length, a slit adhesive in its unstretched state is stretched threefold, a separation sheet, for example a silicon paper, of 7 only 2 meters has been required. Naturally the adhesive power of the drawn out adhesive coated sheet is reduced by, in the ratio of the initial surface to the final surface, in this case 1:3. However, as it is known that layers of pressure sensitive adhesive generally used are too adhesive for a full surface adhesion (for this reason so far practically only strips have been used with the disadvantage of waves forming in the floor covering at the unglued positions) the said layer of adhesive of less adhesion as described is not onlycompletely satisfactory for such purposes, but ofiers besides the considerable advantage that at the slits it is freely permeable to air, steam and moisture so that the floor can breathe freely and is particularly'convenient for sound insulation, particularly for lessening the noise of footsteps, so that for the first time, s technically correct sound absorbing rough surface (for example concrete) can be provided.
Various possibilities exist with respect to the application of the slits. Thus products can be produced which are expendable in one or more directions and may be capable of remaining extended or relatively resilient.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent from a study' of the following specification, the claims and the attached drawings in which:
FIGS. 1 49 show a selection of possibilities for design and arrangement of the slits,
FIG. 50 shows a partial elevational section of an embodiment of a sheet material according to the invention,
FIG. 51 shows a plan view of another embodiment of a sheet material, and
FIG. 52 shows a section taken along the line 52-52 of FIG. 5 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the parallel arrangement of the slits in the sheet material shown in FIG. 1, the slits of any given row being staggered relative to those of an adjacent row, on drawing out two or threefold length, erection of the ribs or track edges surrounding the slits occurs. These raised edges can be returned to the plane of the sheet by a suitable direction of pull to obtain an optimum surface adhesion when applied to a floor covering. Therefore in this case, and in all other embodiments having edge arching, a relatively soft sheet material which is capable of expansion is suitable, for example light fleece materials, soft or creped sheets, crepe paper, sheets of foam material and so on.
An arrangement of slits as shown in FIG. 4 gives products with less stretchability but an exceptionally high capability to stretch with less tendency to further tearing for use where curves, contours and difficult surfaces and room shapes are connected together or on use of materials having adhesive on one side only for reinforcing, for example an air-permeable wrapping to reinforce pipes. This reinforcement may be used to advantage if a reinforced product has to have further layers applied which are to only partially cover the existing layers. This bonding between successive layers is, for the first time, possible through the slits, for example in sculpture work with plaster, on continuous application of several layers of plastic, foamed materials and so on. Interesting possibilities of stretching and expanding result from the various altered slit structures indicated in FIGS. 5, 6 to 8 and 10 to 13. As the slits are brought from the parallel arrangement into more inclined, overlapped and angular arrangements shown, so the expansion characteristics vary to give a capability for expansion in more than one direction.
The arrangement of straight lines and angled slits shown in FIGS. 17, 18, 21, 22, and 32 produce structures capable of expanding in at least two directions, whilst FIG. in particular has a capability of expansion in nearly all directions.
The use of bent, S- and Z-shaped wavy or otherwise curved slits is also apt for certain purposes. The arrangements of FIGS. 35, 36 and 38 and 42 to 47 show a range of possibilities without forming any restriction for the most suitable shape for each case. Finally, a group of arrangements of slits is shown in FIGS. 29 to 31 and 49 and 50. These arrangements produce on drawing out in a particularly favourable direction a group of large ribs and small ribs which, particularly on heavy drawing out around 180 are turned round and then offer resistance to drawing out further. In this way an expansion to an extent which can be substantially established beforehand is obtained and the disadvantages of the rib parts arched out of the horizontal are avoided. Due to the said turning round, the rearside of the turned rib is directed upwardly and on negligible surface parts a doubling which can in general be ignored. In structures having adhesive on both sides and having the same characteristics of adhesion at each side there is no change in the expected adhesive properties, however with products having an adhesive surface at one face only, in a surprising manner after the turning round of the rib both sides exhibit adhesive surfaces and indeed in the ratio of the widths of the ribs to one another. This ratio can be varied by suitable constructive arrangement of the slits for example from a ratio of 50:50 to one of 90:10. The advantages stemming from the use of a sheet material coated with adhesive on one side only, yet which can be expanded to give adhesive properties at each face, are readily apparent, as are the advantages which would result from the use of two different adhering surfaces which, by a variation in the amount and type of adhesive, would allow of the production of exceptionally interesting compound products. For example one side pressure sensitive adhesive, the other side a water soluble glue, or alternatively a structure consisting of an adhesive which is solid at room temperature, yet which can be activated, and a coating of pressure sensitive adhesive at one side of the structure; this allows, after the slitting and stretching the material the oppositely facing two tracks I and II, to be provisionally connect mutually the the pressure sensitive adhesive surfaces as shown in FIG. 50 and after a subsequent activating process, by making sticky the surfaces A, and A a permanent connection of the three layers. This activating is possible in the known manner by heating, high frequency radiation, ultra sonics, solvents and so on.
In the same way these expandable adhesive coated sheet materials can be used for making prefabricated products sticky, for example for material in plates, rolls or sheets, in order, for example, to allow a partial surface coating with adhesive without the necessity of employing a special coating machine. In this case on delivery, preferably in rolls, the adhesive coated sheet material is slit and is pulled apart before application to the substratum, and it is then firmly connected by one side in a continuous operation, if desired with prior activation of one side and simultaneous application of a non-adhesive sheet corresponding to giving it a partial surface stickiness.
Finally it should be further pointed out that the selection of the direction of the slits is to be adjusted according to the purpose desired, particularly to an expansion in the longitudinal direction, in the transverse direction or in some other direction. The slits may also be distributed diversely over the surface, let out or arranged to form stripes or patterns, combinations of slits of different sizes and shapes are possible with for example long slits small slits or so called micro-slits.
A favourable embodiment consists of a carpet underlay of soft foam material about 6 mm thick coated on one or both sides with pressure sensitive adhesive, and in the case of one sided adhesive coating the other side is rubber-like so that it prevents slip or is sufficiently adhering by its pores, that the loose laying of this layer on the floor and an adhesive connection of the floor covering or vice versa appears favourable. The main advantage here, in addition to the saving of material by the enlargement of the sheet coverage area, is in the particularly soft and comfortable tread and in the increased sound insulation of footsteps in that a part of the noise can be absorbed through the open slits by a rough or porous subfloor.
A further embodiment of one sided adhesive web is as court-plaster or wound plaster. In both cases a resilient sheet material adapting to the shape of the body and to movement is in general desired (which so far has been achieved only by use of a resilient carrier), as well as the breathing and aeration necessary for healing the wound, the latter being achieved by utilizing a porous carrier and/or by providing air holes in the carrier. For this the sheet material according to the invention can provide a remedy in the simplest manner without any loss of material and using the cheapest impermeable carrier material such as sheet plastic. In this either the carrier material is slit before coating with the adhesive substance and the same applied full face or both are slit together, and preferably with the so-called micro-slits and also arranged in rows only where expansion and permeability are desired and in an arrangement of slits which allows expansion in one or more directions. FIGS. 51 and 52 show a combination of so-called micro-slits with larger slits for additional aeration.
The sheet material according to the invention is also suitable for application in the context of clothing.
For example, an acceptable insert for shirt collars and outer garments is obtained if a thermoplastic sheet which has been expanded in the width or stretched in the direction of the slits is laminated, when in a transversely stretched state, with a cotton fabric.
The possibility exists'of compressing the slit plastic sheet during the laminating whereby a good dimensional stability is produced, sheets of polyamide 11 and 12 are particularly suitable for this.
Adhesive inserts in which the layer of adhesive is a slit plastic sheet have the great advantage of limited stiffness in the direction of the slits and much greater flexibility in the direction transverse to the slits. This is very important in collars on dress shirts, which should be relatively stiff in the longitudinal direction (so that varied shrinkage of the outer material on washing does not lead to puckering of the collar) but soft in the transverse direction so that the collar fits well. In mens suits stiffness in the longitudinal direction is also very desirable so that the product always appears ironed, on the other hand the suit should be supple, soft and resilient in the width so that the jacket does not sit like armour.
If a slit, thermoplastic sheet expanded in the width is laminated between two non-thermoplastic sheets and the sheets are then allowed to shrink by heat treatment a cloque effect is obtained.
The sheet material according to the invention is not only suitable for the purposes described above, but also for various others, particularly for insulation, sound damping and for decorative purposes.
