METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A VOLUMINOUS YARN WITH UNIFORMLY SPACED BINDINGS Flled June 20 1966 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 I FIG. 3
INVENTORS: HERMANN GEMEINHARDT GUNTHER SCHATZ HANS BRUCHER ATT'YS United States Patent 10 Claims. (c1. 2s 1 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Method and apparatus for uniformly oscillating a yarn conducted between two fixed points in a secondary resonance chamber under the influence of a jet of gas impinging perpendicularly on the normal straight line path of the thread between the fixed points and entering into a primary resonance chamber arranged behind and in fluid communication with the secondary resonance chamber, thereby producing uniformly spaced bindings along the length of the yarn.
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the production of loose, bulky or voluminous yarn having uniformly spaced bindings along its length. More particularly, the invention is concerned with a specific method and means of treating a continuous multifilament crimped yarn so as to insert bindings at uniformly spaced distances capable of being selectively varied, the individual filaments being in close or solid contact at the binding points while being relatively loose or separated between such binding points, thereby retaining substantially the same looseness or bulkiness as that of the original yarn.
It is known that yarns composed of individual continuous filaments can be treated with a stream of gas in such a manner that the individual threads or filaments become very closely intertwined or interlaced in solid contact with each other. The resulting yarn is not voluminous and exhibits very little elasticity, but instead the treated yarn behaves in a manner similar to that of twisted threads. Such compact interlaced yarn is essentially intended as a substitute for conventional twisted yarns, and is therefore distinguished from so-called bulk or textured yarn. It is further known that a multifilament yarn can be texturized or bulked, sometimes with a crimping effect, by treatment with a high velocity fluid jet under various conditions. In this case, the treated yarn is geenrally more voluminous than the original untreated yarn.
One object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for the treatment of a substantially untwisted, continuous, multifilament crimped yarn with a gas jet so as to place uniformly spaced bindings or knots along the length of the yarn while retaining most of the bulk or texturized characteristics of the original untreated yarn. Another object of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus whereby bindings or knots can be spaced along a voluminous yarn at predetermined points to yield a variety of specialty yarns having novel and useful characteristics. These and other objects and advantages of the invention will become more apparent upon consideration of the following detailed specification.
It has now been found, in accordance with the invention, that the foregoing objects can be achieved by conducting a continuous multifilament crimped yarn between two fixed points at which lateral movement of the yarn is prevented while using a yarn feed rate which is about -50%, preferably -30%, higher than its draw rate,
and laterally oscillating the yarn between said fixed points under the influence of a jet of gas which is directed substantially perpendicular to the path of the yarn into a resonating zone such that the yarn passes through the jet of gas twice in each complete period of oscillation to produce uniformly spaced bindings along the length of the yarn.
The present invention is also directed to novel apparatus for carrying out the yarn treatment, said apparatus including nozzle means having an opening at one end to eject a jet of gas in a predetermined direction corresponding to the axis of the nozzle, and resonating means comprising a resonance floor disposed opposite the opening of said nozzle means and a jacket extending axially from said resonance floor toward said nozzle means, said jacket containing two oppositely disposed slots adapted to receive a continuous yarn in a normal straight line path therebetween which is substantially perpendicular to the nozzle axis and said jacket also containing oppositely disposed openings on a line approximately perpendicular to the straight line path between said slots. The nozzle is preferably adjustable along its axis and conically shaped to taper toward the opening thereof. At the same time, the jacket is preferably a cylindrical sleeve which ex tends from said resonance floor so that it can be positioned concentrically around the nozzle with an annular gap between the sleeve and the nozzle.
A preferred embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention is further illustrated by the accompanying drawing wherein similar parts are designated by the same reference numerals and wherein:
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of the overall method for treating the yarn in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view with portions omitted of a preferred embodiment of the yarn treating apparatus of the invention, illustrating in particular the nozzle means and resonating means in a separated position;
FIG. 3 is a side elevation view in cross-section of the same nozzle means and resonating means in a closed or operating position;
FIG. 4 is a front plan view of the same resonating means with the positions of the yarn during the gas jet treatment being indicated in a hypothetical manner; and
FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 illustrate various possible yarn configurations which can be achieved when uniformly spacing the knots or bindings along the yarn by the method of the invention. 7 Referring now to FIG. 1 of the drawing, the yarn is first introduced into a conventional crimping box 1 by means of the feed rolls 2, and the crimped yarn 3 is then led over the turning guide roller 4 through a yarn brake 5, around the guide rollers 6, 7 and 8 and finally wound or taken up on the winding reel or take-up bobbin 9. The gas jet nozzle and resonating means of the invention are contained in the housing 10 located between the turning guide rollers 6 and 7 which may also be substituted by feed and draw rollers, respectively.
As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the nozzle means for ejecting a jet of gas comprises a supply line 11 adapted to introduce gas under pressure from any suitable source into the conically tapered end portion of the head 12 so that the gas is directed from the opening 13 formed by a central bore 21 along the axis of the nozzle at a high velocity. The head or the supply line of the nozzle can be easily mounted for adjustable movement along its axis in the housing 10 in any conventional manner, e.g. =by suitably journalling the housing and sliding the cylindrical portion of the nozzle head forward or back to any desired position as indicated by the double headed arrow.
Directly opposite the opening 13 of the nozzle, there is mounted on the housing 10 special resonating means adapted to receive the continuous yarn and subject it to 3 lateral oscillation as it is drawn therethrough. This resonating means includes a conventional resonating floor 14 with a center hole 17, and from this floor there extends a jacket or cylindrical sleeve 15 containing two diametrically opposed slots 16. These slots are preferably just slightly wider than the diameter of the loose yarn being treated and sufiiciently deep to properly position the yarn between the end opening 13 of the nozzle and the resonance floor 14. Two diametrically opposed openings or bores 18 are placed about 90 from the slots 16, i.e. so that their diametric axis is substantially perpendicular to the normal straight line path of the yarn extending between the two slots. The jacket openings or bores 18 are essential in order to prevent the formation of an air or gas dam between the resonance floor and the nozzle.
Good results have been achieved in the treatment of a large number of different yarns when using the apparatus disclosed herein, and in general, it has been found desirable to employ a nozzle in which the gas jet is formed by an opening 13 of about 1 to mm., preferably about 2 to 4 him, while this opening is positioned from the resonance floor 14 at a distance of about 5 to mm., preferably 7 to 12 mm. The slots 16 in the resonance jacket may have a width of about 0.5 to 5 mm., preferably 1.2 to 4 mm., and the two jacket openings should generally correspond to a bore with a diameter of between about 0.5 and 6 mm, preferably between about 1.5 and 4.5 mm.
The resonating means is shown in greater crosssectional detail in FIG. 3 where the nozzle head 12 has been moved into an operating position to fit concentrically within the cylindrical sleeve or slotted jacket extension 15 at a predetermined distance from the resonance floor 14. A primary resonance chamber or space 19 is provided behind the resonance floor in the base member 20, for example by threading the backwardly extending cylindrical walls of the resonance floor 14 onto a correspondingly threaded portion of the base 20. The depth of the primary resonating space 19 can thus be varied to produce different resonance characteristrics as the jet of gas is directed through the bore 21 of the nozzle 12 into this space 19 through center hole 17. Likewise, it is possible to achieve a different resonance of the gas stream by varying the diameter of the center hole 17.
With the particular construction of the slotted jacket or sleeve 15 shown herein, a secondary resonance zone or chamber is formed within the jacket which causes the yarn to oscillate laterally between the two slots. This zone is approximately within the two center lines x-x, i.e. from about the midpoint between the outlet end 13 of the nozzle and the resonance floor 14 up to a distance from the resonance floor such that the depth or width of this secondary resonance zone is about one-quarter to onethird of the distance between the nozzle end 13 and the fioor 14.
It is therefore desirable to position the slots 16 and the openings 18 in the jacket 15 so as to fall within or at least directly adjacent to this secondary resonance zone. The exact shape of these jacket slots and openings is not particularly critical, and many variations can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. It is essential, however, to provide openings 18 of approximately the size indicated above in order to prevent the gas from forming a darn, since the apparatus does not properly function without these openings. However, the exact position of these jacket openings is not critical provided they are not placed far beyond the secondary resonance zone, e.g. at the upper edge of the jacket.
Likewise, the inner diameter of the jacket 15 and the corresponding size of the resonance floor 14 can be varied within wide limits, depending upon the denier of the yarn being treated, the gas velocity and similar variables. In general, good results can be achieved where this jacket diameter is about 12 to mm.
In using the apparatus of the invention, it was found that a continuous multifilament yarn being drawn at a constant velocity through the secondary resonance zone so as to be held from lateral movement at the fixed points corresponding to the jacket slots will oscillate laterally at a substantially constant frequency and form a binding or false-twist knot at regular intervals along the length of the yarn. As indicated in FIG. 4, the untwisted, bulky yarn Y enters the jacket through the upper slot 16 and is swung to the extreme left 22 at one point in its oscilla tion under the action of the gas jet. The yarn then travels to the extreme right 23 as indicated by the dotted lines while passing once through the jet stream which is directed towards the center hole 17 of the resonance floor 14. The yarn then swings back again through the jet stream to the position 22 to complete one period of oscillation. The knots or bindings 24 are formed approximately in a length of the yarn passing through the fixed slots 16 of the jacket.
It will be apparent that FIG. 4 merely represents a hypothetical or fictitious picture of the manner in which the yarn is suspended and oscillated between the jacket slots since the yarn actually travels continuously between these two points and is not held in a fixed suspension. In other words, the fixed pointsof suspension move along the yarn as it is being oscillated. In referring to a lateral oscillation of the yarn, it should be understood therefore that the yarn is actually undergoing a relatively complex undulation resulting not only from the side-to-side movement produced by the resonating gas but also from the direct impingement of the gas on the yarn as the yarn passes through the jet stream twice in each complete period of oscillation.
In acordance with the invention, it has also been found that the spacing and the individual length of the bindings depend upon a number of parameters when using specific apparatus of fixed dimensions. These parameters essentially include the yarn velocity as it is drawn through the treating zone, the tension on the yarn, the gas pressure or gas jet velocity and the distance of the gas jet opening at the outlet end of the nozzle from the resonance floor. More specifically, it was found that practically independent from the titer and number of filaments of the yarn, there is a specific gas pressure with respect to each distance of the jet from the resonance floor at which one achieves the shortest distance between the knots or bindings. Both above and below this gas pressure, the distance between the individual knots or bindings increases.
Furthermore, at a constant pressure, a stronger effect occurs as the yarn velocity decreases, i.e. the slower the yarn, the greater the number of bindings per unit length. Likewise, at a constant yarn velocity, the number of bindings per unit length increases with increasing gas pressure. Also, one achieves a shorter distance between bindings as the titer decreases.
By routine experimentation with any yarn, one can thus readily determine that gas pressure will produce the strongest effect for various distances of the nozzle or jet opening from the resonance floor. For each particular yarn, it is then possible to adjust the number of bindings per unit length by changing the gas pressure, the yarn speed and/or the spacing of the nozzle from the resonance floor.
Since the yarn length is shortened in forming the bindings or knots, it is obviously necessary to feed the yarn into the resonating means at a rate or speed which is higher than the draw rate at which the knotted yarn is withdrawn. For purposes of the present invention, the feed rate or linear velocity of the yarn should be about 540%, preferably 10-30%, higher than the draw rate.
One illustration of uniformly spaced bindings obtained by the gas jet treatment of the invention is shown in FIG. 5 and other variations are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 where the number of bindings per unit length are increased or decreased, respectively.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples without being limited to these examples. In each example, air at about room temperature was employed as the gas jet under a pressure of 4.5 atm. The yarn was treated with a nozzle and resonating means as shown in the drawing with the following dimensions:
Mm. Diameter of jacket 15 14 Diameter of resonance floor 14 14 Diameter of center hole 17 3.5 Depth of resonance space 19 4.0 Width of jacket slots 16 2.5 Diameter of jacket bores 18 4.0 Diameter of nozzle bore 21 3.0
Example 1 A crimped nylon-6 yarn of 1000/72 denier was fed into the jacket at a speed of 480 meters/minute and drawn and wound at a speed of 400 meters/minute. The tip 13 of the nozzle was positioned at a distance of mm. from the resonance floor 14. The treated yarn exhibited 80 bindings or knots per meter with substantially the same bulk between the bindings as the original untreated yarn.
Example 2 Using the same yarn as in Example 1, the feed speed was reduced to 240 meters/minute and the winding speed correspondingly reduced to 200 meters/minute. The resulting yarn had 152 bindings per meter.
Example 3 The yarn was again treated under the same conditions as Example 1 except that the jet opening at the tip of the nozzle was positioned at a distance of 5 mm. from the resonance floor. The number of bindings in the yarn then dropped to less than 30 per meter.
Example 4 The same conditions were followed as in Example 1 except that the jet opening at the tip of the nozzle was positioned at a distance of mm. from the resonance floor. Again, the number of bindings in the treated yarn dropped below 30 per meter.
Numerous other examples were carried out with the same apparatus using polycaprolactam and polyethylene terephthalate yarns with various deniers, number of filaments and degrees of crimping. In all cases, the number of bindings per unit length would be easily regulated either by varying the yarn speed and/ or the position of the nozzle tip with reference to the resonance floor. The bindings remained in the yarn throughout subsequent textile operations and provided the advantages of both a twisted and a bulk or voluminous yarn.
In general, any synthetic or artificial yarn such as polyamide, polyester, regenerated cellulose, or other organic thermoplastic polymer yarn can be treated by the meth- 0d and apparatus of the invention. It is even feasible to treat natural yarns such as wool, cotton or silk and also inorganic multifilament yarns such as those composed of metallic or glass fibers in order to achieve special effects. However, the gas jet treatment of the invention is particularly useful when applied to continuous multifilament crimped yarns of synthetic organic thermoplastic polymers in which the amount of crimping falls within a range of about 8 to 25 arcs/cm, preferably about 12 to arcs/cm. With these crimped yarns, the bindings or falsetwisted knots are formed by the very close or solid contact of the individual filaments with each other, and no additional treatment is required to retain the uniformly spaced bindings in the yarn. In other respects, the method and apparatus of the invention can be readily adapted to a wide range of denier and number of filaments in the yarn, although it will obviously be necessary to make a corresponding adjustment in the dimensions of the apparatus and/ or treatment conditions to handle very fine yarns or extremely bulky yarns.
It is most convenient to use air as the gas jet or gas treating stream, e.g. at a temperature of about 2025 C. However, it is also feasible to use any other gas, and if desired, the gas may be heated to an elevated temperature sufficient to fix the yarn by partial softening or melting during the jet treatment. Also, one can apply binders or other special coatings or finishes to the yarn in order to achieve greater adherence of the filaments after the jet treatment. A heated gas may also be used to simultaneously dry a yarn which has been wetted in previous steps with water or an organic solvent.
Although it is most convenient to use a cylindrical jacket and a circular resonance floor and center hole, it will be apparent that these shapes are not critical and that one can also construct the resonating means in other shapes such as elliptical, square or rectangular shapes. Likewise, the jacket slots and bores can assume various shapes and positions provided that they are arranged on center lines which are approximately perpendicular to each other and which intersect at a point which corresponds approximately to the center line of the nozzle axis. These center lines of the jacket slots and bores need not fall in the same plane but are preferably arranged so as to provide a secondary resonance zone in the jacket which includes the normal straight line path of the yarn through the jacket. Also, the position of the nozzle with reference to these jacket slots and bores is preferably adjusted so as to provide a secondary resonance zone which lies at a distance of about 0.2 to 7.5 mm, preferably 0.5 to 6 mm., from the resonance floor.
It will also be apparent that the nozzle and resonating means can be placed in practically any position with reference to the horizontal or vertical and need not be placed only in the generally vertical position with reference to the thread path as shown in the drawings. In this respect, =various references herein to the front, back or side of the apparatus have been made merely for the purpose of convenience.
The above-mentioned and other variations of the method and apparatus of the invention can be easily accomplished by one skilled in this art without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Wow! I'm surprised that Fate/Stay Night already got licensed. I guess Tsukihime was popular enough for Geneon to get another Type Moon series.
But the important thing is that the hot, lesbian action Kannaduki no Miko got licensed!

It really doesn't matter, either way it is pronounced "Kannazuki". The reason some spell it Kannaduki (I personally prefer Kannadzuki) is because that is the "official" (i.e., what you see on the Japanese merchandise) romanization. There are two basic systems of romanization, the Hepburn system, which is meant to show how things are pronounced. The Nihon-shiki romanizes based on the kana themselves. For further reading I suggest this Wikipedia article.
Also, fate/stay night is the best-selling game in Japan to date, if I'm not mistaken. If I was at Geneon, I wouldn't have wasted any time either.

So 'Kannaduki no Miko', got licensed! Whoo hoo!!
Wow all my favorite shows getting licensed. First this and now 'Mai-HiME'! Two shows I watched back to back. Now if someone would please add 'Rozen Maiden' to that batch I'll be set.
I really did enjoy 'Kannaduki no Miko'. It was an odd little show. Not to mention I've read various reviews for this show. They either liked it, hated it, or they hated it so much that they loved it. As for me it's not everyday that you combined shrine priestesses and mecha. It's weird! It's not perfect but it's good enough.

As long as Bang Zoom is dubing Kannaduki no Miko I will be happy.
I don't like the dubs and translations that New Gen dose.
Yes I realize that Japapanese can't be translated to English definative, but sometimes what comes out of new Gen seems off to me.

That is a very very sweet list.
I am curious as to how Geneon is going to translate the Kannazuki no Miko title though. I mean Prietesses of the Godless month has a ring, but I wonder if Geneon while change it.
Starship Operators? I don't know much about that. Anyone seen any of it?

Starship Operators, done by JC Staff, is a pretty good show, and it is dialogue heavy as well.

At the time when I was wondering when someone was going to license this show. I was curious about the title. I said to myself, "if the title is hard enough to translate, it's better off leaving it as-is". Now, the question is will they change the "d" to a "z"? Though this stumped me as well as to why the "romanji" spelling was done this way (just like how 'Syoaran' became 'Shaoran' in CCS). So of course people here will have problems and they'll change it just to make sense to fans. Because "d" does not = "z" sound.
But let's hope that whoever translates it will do it justice.
*Side note: Since I spend enough time studying "kanji" I'm curious to wonder why this method was adopted. Again this probably has a lot to do with how words look aestetically when romanized. Considering the origin of "kanji", might also play a role as well.

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. -- Merchants whose stores are across the street from the former Mount Kisco Borders site are glad that a deal for the property's foreclosure lawsuit has been reached.
"Absolutely glad," said Cathy Deutsch, owner of Tiger Lily.
Deutsch, who attributes the bookstore's closure to a reduction in traffic, hopes that the deal leads to the place being occupied. She suggested DSW as possibility for the place, noting the lack of shoe stores in the area.
The former bookstore site, at 154-162 E. Main St., is a large vacancy for the retail corridor.
Leslie Bijoux, co-owner of the stores Yogi's Paw and Evolution, concurred with Deutsch in support of the deal. She is also interested in the place being used for footwear.
Juan Ortiz, a manager at Bellizzi, attributes the closure of Borders to an impact on business. Because of the lawsuit deal, he is hopeful that the storefront will be occupied. He would like to see something technology related in the space, naming an Apple store as an example.

Canad Inns Stadium, Winnipeg, Manitoba, home of the Canadian Football League's (CFL) Winnipeg Blue Bombers, is using the DNF Controls' ST300-DSR1K-T Slow-Motion Controller for instant replays and slow-motion playback capability. The slow-motion controller, part of a half-million dollar upgrade to the stadium, controls two Sony DSR-DR1000 digital hard-disk recorders used during the production of Blue Bombers' home games.
In addition to two existing cameras, two new Sony DXC-D50 cameras — each equipped with a 50x lens — cover the action on the turf, recording footage onto two DSR-DR1000 hard-disk recorders. DNF's ST300-DSR1K-T controller allows operators to locate footage, mark cue points and replay the video instantly, broadcasting highlights to fans via the stadium's Sony JumboTron. Also included in the Blue Bombers' upgraded production system is a Ross Synergy video production switcher.

Close your eyes, breathe in deeply, now exhale slowly… That was easy, wasn't it? Not for everyone…
There are those who have taken to attacking the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee for backing off its earlier intense push for legislation that would increase economic sanctions against Iran pending further negotiations on ending its nuclear weapons program. Some have even referred to AIPAC's stance as a sellout.
To be sure, President Obama, who seems intent on pursuing rapprochement with Iran based solely on that nation's promises and in the face of compelling evidence that its leaders can't be trusted, has mounted a full court press against the new legislation.
But it is hard to accuse an organization with AIPAC's track record of endangering Israel's security in order to curry the approval of an American president. To the contrary, though we take a back seat to no one in doubting the trustworthiness of the Iranian government, we think that under the circumstances AIPAC is acting prudently in the interests of both Israel and the American Jewish community.
For us, the key factor is that support in Congress for new sanctions has collapsed in the face of the president's blandishments. Senators Menendez and Schumer, who had championed the legislation as a means of pressuring Iran to negotiate seriously over the elimination of its capacity to develop nuclear weapons, have basically gone silent, as have many other erstwhile backers of sanctions. For AIPAC to keep pushing on the Iranian issue at this point would be counterproductive.
It was one thing for AIPAC to work in tandem with senior members of the U.S. Senate in pushing for legislation President Obama claims would likely scuttle all diplomatic efforts to rein in Iran. It is quite another for AIPAC to stand alone in advocating for something the president strongly suggests could lead to war.

Nuggets Player Learns Not To Mess With Rusty Hardin
J.R. Smith, a guard for the Denver Nuggets, is not exactly having a great year. You know things are going bad when there are headlines like "Denver Nuggets Won't Suspend Guard J.R. Smith For Sulking On Bench."
Or when the headlines are about how you're going to get served with a lawsuit in Houston before a Rockets game because you haven't paid your lawyer.
Smith got out of the second predicament this week when he reached a payment agreement with Rusty Hardin, who had represented Smith in a suit over a punch the Nugget had thrown, breaking a guy's jaw at the Forde Rec Center.
Hardin says the deal to pay him and avoid a suit came mostly from the Nuggets, not Smith.
After Houston Chronicle reporter Jonathan Feigen learned of the plan to serve papers on Smith, he called the Nuggets for comment, Hardin tells Hair Balls, "and they go crazy, because they don't want this kind of issue out there."
"So they start calling and e-mailing us, saying 'Look, we'll make sure you get your payment in 30 days,' although it's no responsibility of the Nuggets and they have nothing to do with it," Hardin says.
In order to "not create a zoo" at the Rockets game, he says, he agreed to the plan.
Hardin is a front-row season-ticket holder for the Rockets, but he says he did not speak with Smith at the game that night.
"I saw him, I didn't talk to him. He got as close as one to two feet, but we didn't -- we didn't talk," he says.

(3.5 stars) Madness, medicine and murder,
This review is from: The Bloodletter's Daughter (A Novel of Old Bohemia) (Paperback)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
Set between 1606-1608 in Bohemia, this is an entertaining though rather uncomplicated story of madness, lust, obsession, and murder.
On the plus side, this is told in a clear and vivid fashion, and the history is smoothed out to be immediately accessible and understandable to readers who might know nothing about seventeenth century Europe.
On the not so positive side, however, there are various flaws in the book: it's too long, for one, and everything unrolls in a very slow fashion. Some of the writing is laughably clichéd: girls are `sweet and defenceless', men are `beasts'; men `roar' when they're angry, villains `snicker' quite a lot. Our heroine, in typical popular historical novel fashion, has modern career ambitions and wants to be a doctor.
My biggest irritation is the familiar use of contemporary Americanisms (`fall' for autumn, the ubiquitous `gotten') which destroy any historical atmosphere; and linguistic anachronisms which jarred me immediately out of the seventeenth century - particularly noticeable are a coarse slang word for semen which doesn't come into use in this sense until 1890, men who are described as `randy' (not in use till 1961), and - my favourite - `she pulled off his pants and folded them'... err, not in 1606 she didn't.
Not everyone will be bothered by things like this, I know, but they served to destroy the atmosphere and illusion of the seventeenth century that the narrative was at pains to build. So a mixed response from me: at heart, there is an entertaining read here, no literary masterpiece but a colourful and interesting story - 3.5 stars.

Gotten actually dates back to the Middle Ages and did not drop out of common usage in British English till around the 18th century.

Hello Marvin,
This may well be the case but it is long enough not to be bombarded with it in Historical books that I and so many other women love to read; I am talking about excellent writers here, not the chick-lit type, of which I know very little. Dorothy Dunnett hasn't ever resorted to that in all her wonderful books. then again, she was Scottish!
Thank you for the information and, by the way, where do you find this information as I would like to have a browse myself?
In reply to an earlier post on 20 Aug 2013 14:20:46 BDT
Roman Clodia says:
Yes, Marvin, you're right, 'gotten' is in use in, for example, sixteenth-century English texts - but I don't think it's being used in this book because it's historically-accurate.
Kristin, yes, Dunnett is wonderful! The best source for English usage, when words come into use and how their meanings shift over time is the Oxford English Dictionary which should be available in most reference libraries.
In reply to an earlier post on 21 Aug 2013 10:45:54 BDT
Kristin says:
Thank you, Roman, shame on me for being so lazy and expecting other kind people do the work for me; I have bookcases bursting with all genres and three large Dictionaries, one of which is the OED!
Many thanks, Kristin.

Ultimately the wait wasn't that bad but of course it was very boring.

Congress is back in session today (MON) in Washington DC, and one of the issues many Minnesotans are hoping to see action on is the Farm Bill. US Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack says he sees imminent consequences in the markets if the House doesn't take action very soon. Vilsack also says that extending the current Farm Bill is not an adequate fix, because that would not provide disaster assistance and runs the risk of Congress scooping the money from direct payments and not using it to create a stronger safety net for the nation's food producers.

text: First of all the location is perfect, looking right out over the water and inner harbour of downtown Victoria. We checked in and right from the start the staff were very warm, helpful and informative; the check in clerks, the restaurant staff, the pool/excercise check in, the maids and so on. We parked our car over night at a very reasonable rate. The inside of the hotel is beautiful. Our room was on the tenth floor and had a gorgeous view of the inner harbour/walkway, the Royal BC Museum & IMAX and the Fairmont Empress. Everything was clean and modern. We decided to go for a swim in the 25 meter pool and then relaxed in the hot tob, steam room and sauna. It was a wonderful stay and would strongly recommend it!

Alcoa expects Q3 EPS to 'continue to build on strong second quarter'
On Alcoa's Q2 earnings conference call, management said during the quarter the company witnessed revenue growth across all major end markets and the businesses continued to deliver productivity gains. They expect Q3 earnings per share to, "continue to build on the strong second quarter." ATOI is expected to grow by 5%-10% over last year's third quarter due to continued share gains, stronger market conditions and productivity. Productivity gains are expected to offset cost increases in Q3. For 2014, productivity is ahead of schedule with $556M of productivity gains achieved in 1H14 against the annual target of $850M. Further restructuring charges are expected to be $50M-$60M after tax for the remainder of 2014, due to the closure of the Australian plants. Approximately 90% of these charges are expected to be non-cash.

Alcoa completes acquisition of RTI International
Alcoa (AA) announced that it has completed the acquisition of RTI International Metals (RTI). The merger, announced on March 9, became effective today. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of RTI common stock has been converted into the right to receive 2.8315 shares of Alcoa common stock, plus an amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Alcoa common stock. Alcoa expects RTI to contribute $1.2 billion in revenue in 2019, up from $794 million that RTI generated in 2014, with 65 percent of revenues supported by contracts over the next five years. RTI's profitability is expected to reach 25 percent EBITDA margin in 2019. Contracts that underpin RTI's growth include the recently announced contract with Airbus for finished titanium structural supply parts for the new A350-1000 aircraft program. Under the agreement, Alcoa will supply titanium parts for the fuselage, among other components. Alcoa expects global aerospace sales growth of 8 to 9 percent in 2015. Projections for 2016 and 2017 sales growth have nearly doubled to 8 and 13 percent, from 4 to 5 percent and 6 percent, respectively, showing the ongoing strength of the sector. Eighty percent of RTI's revenues in 2014 were from the aerospace and defense industries. With RTI, Alcoa's 2014 pro forma aerospace revenue increases by 13 percent to $5.6 billion. RTI is being integrated as a standalone business unit into Alcoa's downstream Engineered Products and Solutions segment.

Companies are increasingly using online resources to get work done, a trend that could reduce full-time opportunities, according to Forbes.
Whether it's a logo redesign or marketing ideas, more companies are putting contests up on Facebook, relying on their "fans" to get the job done at a fraction of the price — sometimes free.
"It's evident that the old process is not working with the way start-ups and today's smaller companies operate," Ilana Grossman of Gust, told Forbes. "They need fast and nimble, but (creative) agencies have large (overhead costs) and processes that are non-negotiable."
Since most crowdsourced material generates a similar quality of design as ad agencies for a fraction of the cost, companies use the cheaper option, which in turn could eliminate jobs.
However, crowdsourcing does have its limitations.
"When you rely on users for everything, it can spiral out of control," Larry Lac, of 72AndSunny, an advertising agency, told Forbes. "Good brands invite conversation, but with perimeters, that hopefully stays on strategy and on message."
