Last Month I have bought the restaurant furniture from the internet, as it is very easy to purchase online hotel furniture or restaurant as well. I was searching the good quality furniture for my home and came through the website in which restaurant furniture for sale is available. I just clicked on the link and contact the dealer. It is very much comfortable and relaxing, mainly it suits to my pocket. Now days it becomes easy to purchase anything from the internet, you can contact any seller from all over the world. You will easily get each and every information from the internet about the product as well as seller.
Important Points to Remember:
There are some points which should be kept in mind before purchasing restaurant furniture for sale from the internet.
• Reliability
• Quality
• Price
• Shipping Details
Whether the seller who is selling the furniture is reliable or not? You should contact the seller and do some research about the seller as he might be selling the theft furniture. In that case you will face difficulty, other than quality is the most important factor while buying from the internet which should match with the description given on the website. Check the reviews about seller; this will help you in taking a decision about buying. Always compare the price that he is charging from you, whether these are not as equal to new furniture. You need to compare about shipping charges which seller is taking from you.
If you are looking for buying the furniture as I have bought restaurant furniture for sale from the internet. Always check above mentioned details before and after purchase, as after shipping you need to check very carefully that the product you have bought is as per specifications or not? Many time I have seen seller cost you some extra cost on the name of shipping and handling charges. Another important thing is to talk to seller about any harm the furniture would get in travelling. In that case, he might not reduce prices. I have checked all these things before buying the furniture as I do not want to be cheated.
Apart from all these things you need to check how the furniture is to be delivered? It is the important factor before buying furniture from internet. There are many dealers who sell cheap quality furniture on higher prices with higher shipping charges. Make clear with seller about each and every small detail regarding the deal. Take your time to compare prices and dealer reputation because after purchasing you only lost your hard earned money. Always try to invest in good quality product. If you want regular updates regarding furniture for sale, you can subscribe over websites which provide this facility. It will help you to keep in touch with the seller as well as market prices. Doing online shopping of furniture which is already used, sometimes gives you the best affordable deal in which you will end up with the best attractive furniture for your home.

Step 1: Buttermilk Pancake Batter
1c Flour
pinch Salt
1/2c Sugar
2/3c Buttermilk (a bit more than I usually use for these pancakes)
Stir dry ingredients together before adding the buttermilk. Mix until completely combined and then set aside.
Step 2: Gutting the Peppers
Cut the jalapeño from stem to tip, only cutting through the first layer of the pepper (Picture 1).
Make a small incision below the stem, perpendicular to the first (Picture 2).
Carefully open the side of the pepper enough to use a small paring knife to cut out the membrane and remove the seeds (Picture 3). Remove as much of the membrane and seeds as possible.
Parboil the cut peppers in boiling water for about 3 minutes, until they soften slightly. Remove and immediately place in a bowl of ice water.
Once the peppers are cooled, blot them dry with a paper towel and set aside.
the benefit of the prosciutto is its ability to hold everything together but be fully cooked so that you don't have to worry about different cooking times (e.g. the batter vs. something like bacon).
however, i did try without prosciutto (since i ran out before wrapping each popper). i am pleased to say that everything held just fine. because the batter is fairly viscous and pretty sticky, it stays on the popper without sliding off (see the furthest popper in the picture above). because it cooks quickly (like a donut), it hardens and keeps everything in)
tl;dr if you don't want to use prosciutto, the batter holds everything in just fine.

Variable universal life insurance with a death benefit and account value growth potential.
Variable universal life insurance (VUL) is designed for individuals or business owners who need life insurance protection plus tax-advantaged account value accumulation with exposure to the potential upside of market investing. VUL also has an account value that can grow tax deferred and that you can borrow against, should the need arise. Note that loans and withdrawals will reduce the policy's account value and death benefit, may affect your guarantees, may cause the policy to lapse, and may have tax consequences.

- Lincoln AssetEdge® Exec VUL is a variable universal life insurance policy with a death benefit that protects your business from the financial impact of the death of an owner or key person.
- It can also be used as a powerful recruitment tool when used in a variety of nonqualified plan designs.
- With Lincoln AssetEdge® Exec VUL, you can enjoy possible increases in account value over time that could enhance your business succession plan.
- Most importantly, you can take advantage of maximized early year cash surrender value for your balance sheet.
What can Lincoln AssetEdge® Exec VUL offer your business?
- An asset for your executive benefits strategy.Lincoln AssetEdge® Exec VUL can be used to fund your executive bonus insurance plan, split dollar plan, or other nonqualified deferred compensation plan.
- A component of your business continuity strategy. Use to fund a buy-sell agreement, which protects your business in the event of the death, disability or retirement of a partner or co-shareholder.
- Account value growth potential. Helps you accumulate tax-deferred account value over time.
- Enhanced account value. Through the Enhanced Surrender Value Rider, which is automatically included when your policy is issued, a separate enhanced surrender value is calculated in the first five years of the policy. You can choose either a high or low level of enhanced surrender values, which impacts the cost of the rider. The low option waives the surrender charges in the first five years. The high option waives the surrender charges and replaces a portion of the administrative charges that have been taken out of the policy in the first five years.
- Flexible income for future objectives. Using the accumulated account value, you can elect to receive supplemental income as you need it - for retirement or other purposes.

Lincoln AssetEdge® Exec VUL includes:
Automatic Rebalancing
This optional feature automatically adjusts the values allocated to each account to match the percentages you specified on the policy application to fit your goals and risk tolerance. You may rebalance on a quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis. You may elect this option at any time; however, it's not available for funds in the Fixed Account or with dollar cost averaging.
Dollar Cost Averaging
This optional program lets you systematically allocate specified dollar amounts from the money market fund or the Fixed Account to the variable accounts. By allocating funds on a regular basis, as opposed to a one-time allocation, you may reduce the average cost per unit over time. If this option is elected from the Fixed Account, it must be requested at issue; however, it may be elected at any time from the money market fund. It is not available in conjunction with automatic rebalancing. Dollar cost averaging neither assures you of a profit, nor protects against loss in a declining market. It involves continuous investment in securities, regardless of fluctuating price levels. You need to consider if you'll be in a position to continue purchasing through periods of low price levels.

South Carolina is starting to become a national force.
How else would you explain Alabama's Nick Saban coming after one of the Gamecocks' rising assistant coaches?
There are reports floating around that Alabama head coach Nick Saban has his eye on South Carolina's Shawn Elliott to fill his vacant offensive line position. Saban's previous employee, Jeff Stoutland, left Alabama last week for the NFL to join Chip Kelly as part of the Philadelphia Eagles. Stoutland spent the last two years on Alabama's staff and had a salary of $395,000 dollars.
Steve Spurrier on Shawn Elliott: "There's a little bit of interest there."— David Cloninger (@DCAtGCKCentral) February 14, 2013
The Gamecocks have previously seen Elliott's name linked to a variety of openings the last few years including the head coaching positions at Coastal Carolina and his alma mater, Appalachian State University. However, a recent report from Phil Kornblut on SportsTalk indicates that Elliott turned down a recent offer to interview for the offensive line coaching position with the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers.
It's great when one of your star assistant coaches has a name that is brought up with the likes of Alabama and the Pittsburgh Steelers, but all of this interest is something that could hinder recruiting and certainly give Elliott something to think about.
The fact that he withdrew himself from consideration as the next head coach at Appalachian State should certainly ease the mind of Gamecock fans. If he doesn't want to take the next step in his coaching career at a place that is near and dear to his heart, then he certainly intends on staying at South Carolina for the foreseeable future.
But let's look at this in another way...this is Alabama.
The Crimson Tide have money that's unrivaled across the country. They are an annual national title contender under Nick Saban and plenty of coaches under Saban have seen their stock rise and move on to bigger and better positions. Alabama would likely offer an increase in salary as well as the opportunity to coach one of the best offensive lines over the next few years to put Elliott on an even greater path to a major Division I-A head coaching job.
If Alabama doesn't offer an "upgrade" in title for Shawn Elliott, will Steve Spurrier begin to make the move for his replacement? We've heard the Head Ball Coach mention before that he doesn't mind his coaching staff talking to other places about a potential promotion. He does mind, though, when coaches look at lateral moves with other schools. I think this is why you didn't see Steve Spurrier make a big deal out of the movement of Brad Lawing to Florida. His replacement was hired within days and the Gamecocks look like they could end up better off in the end.
So what happens? Personally, I think we'll see Shawn Elliott say "thanks, but no thanks" and remain at South Carolina for the foreseeable future. Alabama certainly has a lot to offer and it would make perfect sense for Elliott if he made the move. Think Charlie Strong on how he left USC for Florida. It boosted his profile and he's now a star head coach at Louisville. Elliott could certainly follow the same path.
But, South Carolina could be looking for a head coach in four years or so. Elliott will have been on staff for several of those years and has made plenty of in-roads in recruiting the last few years. Check out his haul for 2013 and his work in the class of 2014 already. He's a rising star and his name will likely be thrown around once Steve Spurrier decides to retire. This is a great chance for Elliott to learn under one of the SEC's greatest coaches of all-time and position himself to take over the Gamecocks football program at potentially its highest peak.
Alabama has the name and national brand. They could likely kick-start Elliott into a great position within a few years.
But, something tells me that loyalty will win out here and Elliott will stay with the Gamecocks. If he goes to Alabama, he'll be repeating history that's already happen. Sticking with the Gamecocks gives him a chance to do some things that have never been done and could give him a chance at taking over for a coaching legend.
When you lay it all on the line, it looks like South Carolina is a better opportunity than Alabama.
Crazy to think about, right?

I give Ferry credit learning from personal gain what over paying for an average player does to a franchise. Andy got NO offers from anyone during the off season. Shouldn't that tell you something. I like him as a role player, but he is not worth 10 Million, at least not yet.
Something is not right here, 2 break ins in 8 days? I'll be interested to hear the circumstances that led up to this.
Nothing good happens at a bar at 2:30 AM.
There should be no bond for this crime. What a disgusting story.
What I mean awezze Jefferson, is the site doesn't allow for comments, that's why you will see 0 comments on the story and they also cut off comments on the knife at success tech. I wonder why?
Another drug deal gone bad.
I am a little curious why it is ok to comment on this story but not the other cop who stole from the department.
I think the gesture was nice and of course the child is a victim and deserves to be helped, however, I do take issue with the whole circus atmosphere and mass coverage this case got while others involving people with a bit more character were not. I am not here to trample on the dead, but this was a woman that was contributing to adultery. I am just saying that there are people who do the right thing day in and day out that need every bit the help this family got and frankly I would have preferred to hear about that story than this one.
Get over your self tonellio! Seriously!
Not to mention Rosie cashing in on her big fat endorsement checks from K-Mart knowing full well they sell guns.
What is the deal with these kids? I thought this school was hard to get into and that they were taking the cream of the crop. Maybe they would prefer to go back to the Cleveland public schools for some of that top quality education.
I definately don't want to see Quinn this year, however, I did forget to point out that DA is ranked 29th out of 32 QB's in completion percentage. While I am happy the team is winning, it is hardly due to great QB play. It is a result of great weapons who make above average catches that a lot of QB's around the league don't have as a luxury. Let's not annoint DA as the savior or a lock as the future QB
and far too modest
Has anyone noticed that over the last 3 games Anderson's QB rating is only 77. His play is getting worse as the year goes on and he is being bailed out by great catches by receivers. He can't make the short throws with any consistency.
It always comes down to race with Tonelli.
Mendez is the one who spent 7 months in jail according to the article. the charges were dropped on Oliver. I don't think it's unreasonable to be a suspect if your buddy who you attended the game with was convicted. He won $1 million dollars, was never found guilty and is still harboring a resentment strong enough to make threatening statements. Take your money and shut up you little baby! If the money doesn't make you happy I'll be glad to take it off your hands.
yeah, that Mike Tyson, what a gift to humanity
Are you serious when asking that question regarding liberals? Do you not follow the immigration laws that they keep trying to slip through? No conservative would ever pass a law that says an illegal immigrant gets amnesty. That is a liberal viewpoint
Not only can he, but he did.

Past ridiculous. > > -Matt Ok. The problem is that proposed solutions for systems which allow over commit will lead to even lower machine utilization because they are: a) manual, which can take a long time to do properly (and is probably error prone) and b) static, in that they cannot adjust to changing workloads. If I am not mistaken, proposed solutions for systems which allow over commit include buying more hardware than you could possible need (disks and memory): would you fire people providing that kind of advice? Would you fire yourself for configuring a system with way more swap+memory than it needs? The argument you are making sounds flawed and leads to resources that are never used. . .just as in the dreaded no over commit case. At least in systems which don't allow over commit, it is possible for the system to make better and more dynamic use of resources for the same reliability. And the point we keep coming back to is that it is impossible for an application to accurately self regulate its resource usage (unless you mean allowing command line flags to specify how much memory to use [why not just set rlimits instead]) since it does not receive accurate feedback from the kernel when over commit is allowed.

Trading Places
Sometime last spring, Pitt's Director of Communications Mendy Nestor was sitting in the lobby of the UMPC Sports Performance Complex patiently waiting to round up some Panther football players for media interviews when she unwittingly got dragged into another Backyard Brawl dispute.
A couple of Pitt players were getting on new assistant coach Tony Gibson for his one-time affiliation with Enemy No. 1 – West Virginia, and Nestor could hear them going at it as they walked through the doorway.
Right away, Gibson noticed poor Mendy sitting there minding her own business and he instinctively stuck out his index finger and pointed it in her direction.
"She is too!" said Gibson in a weak attempt to try and deflect some of the abuse he was getting.
"Wait a minute," Mendy laughed. "Why are you bringing me into this?"
Mendy grew up in Buckhannon, went to West Virginia University where she became one of the athletic department's top student workers in the Sports Communications Office, and then, after a couple of stops at East Carolina and Auburn, she swapped colors from Old Gold and Blue to whatever shade of blue and yellow the Panthers are sporting this year.
Surprisingly, Mendy Nestor and Tony Gibson are not the only people in the Pitt athletic department who know all of the words to "Country Roads."
Todd Graham spent two years in Morgantown – a next door neighbor to WVU defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel and just four houses up the hill from me. Graham, Pitt's first year head coach, has seemingly brought Rich Rodriguez's entire Mountaineer staff with him to Oakland.
Along with Gibson, who works with the Panther DBs, Graham hired executive head coach Paul Randolph to work with the Panther defensive line, assistant head coach Calvin Magee to oversee the offense and the running backs, and Tony Dews to coach the wide receivers. There is Graham's son Bo, a GA on the staff who played a season for WVU, and then, sit down for this one … video graduate assistant Eric Wicks.
For the love of Jack Fleming, Wicks too?
"Those guys may have to go through our locker room to get out onto the field," Casteel joked.
Seeing Wicks - one of the key members of West Virginia's 2007 Fiesta Bowl championship team - sporting a Pitt golf shirt is like looking at Mr. USA himself, Ronald Reagan, in one of those Russian fur hats or worse yet, old J. Edgar prancing around in his basement in one of his mother's dresses. It's simply too shocking, too unsettling, to even consider.
Say it isn't so.
Since we're smoking out the turncoats, we might as well add Pitt's Director of Planned Giving Megan Wilson, 15-year football administrator Chris LaSala and Pitt's in-house IMG rep Rex Hogue to the list. Each owns WVU degrees.
It may be the most former Mountaineers in Pitt's athletic department at one time - ever.
And believe it or not, there are actually some secret Panthers on the WVU athletic staff, namely long-time athletic trainer John Spiker, assistant athletic trainer Brittany Arnold and men's basketball assistant coach Larry Harrison. Yes, at one time or another they probably mouthed the words to Hail to Pitt!
Spiker made the switch to WVU in the mid-1970s when the Pitt game had much more of an edge to it and he was smart enough to realize right away that making a complete and total flip-flop was probably the easiest (and safest) way for the football players to let him tape their ankles.
"Keep in mind that it wasn't a direct move," Spiker says only half-jokingly. "I went from Pitt to Philadelphia to North Carolina to here. I just tried not to tell anybody."
Spiker immediately pledged his full allegiance to West Virginia University, which also meant a complete and utter rejection of anything Pittsburgh related.
No affinity at all for the former mates, right John?
"No, as a matter of fact, I hope they lose every game they play," he laughed. "That's the second score I check after the Mountaineers - to make sure they lose."
After getting her undergrad degree at WVU, Brittany Arnold broke her mom's heart by going to Pitt to get a master's degree in sports medicine. She returned to West Virginia last year and is still undergoing extensive de-programming to make sure she isn't a Panther double-agent.
"I grew up going to WVU games," said Arnold, from nearby Fairmont. "My parents have been season ticket holders for 30-plus years so they would take me to football and basketball games. My birthday is in February and the WVU-Pitt games were around that time, so I would always go to the Backyard Brawl for my birthday. When I went up there it was a dagger to my family's heart, I think."
Perhaps feeling a little guilty, Arnold would always wear her Mountaineer gear during the week of the WVU-Pitt game, sometimes to her own detriment.
"I wore West Virginia stuff in the Pitt section, which was probably not the best idea," she admitted.
Megan Wilson, now Wilson-Smulski, is several years removed from earning her undergraduate and master's degrees at WVU, but she admits there are still awkward moments, particularly when she is out on the road soliciting major gifts for the Pitt program and a potential big donor finds out that she used to cavort with the enemy.
"My first job here at the university was in the Dean's office in arts and sciences, so I wasn't interacting with a lot of student-athletes or people who were supporting the athletic department," said Wilson, a South Hills native. "But when I got to the athletic department and I started making cold calls, or meeting people for the first time, they'll ask, when did you graduate from Pitt? I'm like, well, actually …
"Of course, some of them will say, well at least you didn't go to Penn State, too!"
The knot in her stomach the week of the Backyard Brawl today is not quite as profound, but Megan still gets a little uneasy when the Monday of game week rolls around. That's usually about the time former Panther star basketball player Sam Clancy, now Pitt's Varsity Club coordinator, comes walking down the hall singing "Country Roads" at the top of his voice – to Wilson, just another reminder where her paycheck is coming from.
"He gives me the most flak," she says.
Nestor gets plenty of flak, too. The other day she entered the football complex wearing a gold and blue outfit and as she walked past Todd Graham, he noticed the colors she was wearing and commented, "What shade of gold is that, Nestor?"
"It's Vegas, coach – it's Vegas," she laughed, referencing the famous phrase What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas.
Nestor says she has now been away from WVU long enough that it's much easier for her during games to cast aside her emotions to do her job.
"When I first got here it was just uncomfortable, I think on both sides," she said. "Talking to my family was uncomfortable and being here was uncomfortable, but now I'm kind of past that. I still follow West Virginia when I can, but the (week of the Backyard Brawl) is just a job for me."
What is sometimes lost on casual fans is how cordial and cooperative the two athletic staffs at WVU and Pitt really are. Nestor said it was also like that when she worked at Auburn and the Tigers faced arch rivals Alabama and Georgia.
"When I was at Auburn we always said the closest people, athletic department wise, were Alabama and Georgia," she explained. "We always said it was because they were the only other schools who know what you go through. They feel the same things you do."
Wilson is not old enough to remember the Pitt-Penn State rivalry so her only point of reference is the Backyard Brawl.
"I can vividly remember driving somewhere to buy a Christmas tree during the holiday and I remember listening to the (WVU-Pitt) game on the radio," she said. "As far back as I can remember, this game has been played.
"On the Pitt side, I don't really have the full respect and understanding of the Penn State rivalry that a lot of older people than me have, so the Backyard Brawl has a lot more meaning to me."
And in perhaps the biggest revelation of all, both sides really do have a mutual, albeit grudging respect for each other.
More importantly, it's a game both sides look forward to playing each year.
"The reason why we play college football is to have fun," said Wilson. "And yes, there is apprehension with me when we play this game, but I think it's such a blast. All my friends who went to WVU have a ball during the game and it's such a fun thing and I know a lot of people, locally, whether they are a graduate of WVU or Pitt, who look forward to this game."
In fact, Wilson may come down to Morgantown with some of her WVU friends for Friday's Backyard Brawl. If she does, she will be wearing something very neutral.
"It will be navy," she laughed.
Perhaps she may even get the urge to hum "Country Roads" - under her breath, of course.

Stands or rack?
I am working on how the set-up to my dream set would be put into existence, and so far I have the Masterworks forms printed and filled out for the day I have enough money to do those beauties. But, I do have one dilemma.
I'm stuck between the decision of using stands to support my cymbals or a rack, either which will be Pearl.
Here are the debate points in my head:
These aren't all, but they're the major ones.
So guys, any ideas or suggestions?

Re: Stands or rack?
You don't mention how big your kit is, which is usually the biggest consideration when choosing what to go for.
I had a rack on my kit, but went back to stands simply because the rack proved too cumbersome and inflexible for me. However, I have a 5-piece kit with three crashes, so bigger kits may experience more of a benefit using a rack.
For me, it was a decision based on ease of setup, so now I have almost all straight stands, and I'm able to have a very flexible setup when it comes to the number of drums and cymbals I use based on stage size and such. I can set up or tear down in a very short amount of time, and my stands basically go into my hardware bag as they are, no dismantling needed. Fold up the legs, throw them in the bag and off I go. The rack had to be dismantled down to the individual bars, cymbal mounts and boom arms, and had to go into the hardware bag in a specific order to get everything to fit comfortably. Not an ideal situation for me.
Re: Stands or rack?
Oh man, I hate to refer you to the other many rack threads. The search forums function brings you two metric-ass-ton of rack threads.
I'm on a rack. Love the footprint (smaller than single stands). I don't really change my setup so it's always perfect, every time i set it up.
Can't go wrong with either.

Re: Stands or rack?
You just have to find the right rack. Especially with your unique setup....
It really shouldn't be that bad, and for what its worth, it would probably be much easier in the end to set your kit on a rack. I have everything on memory locks so everything just goes on into place without adjustment. Anyone can do it to...much easier on those who help putting the kit up. Aside from getting the cymbals in their respective spot, it's just a breeze.
The awkward part of owning a rack is transporting it. Depending on how far you break it down to tote it around...you could be putting as much time into getting into a Honda Civic as you would breaking down single stands. I transport mine in a band trailer or the back of my truck and it basically folds up like a transformer to about 1/5th its full width when set up. So basically when we get to shows, two people carry the whole thing in one piece (or three) to it's destination and just plop it down and stretch it out to it's full open position. Set up the drums and and cymbals then carry the whole thing on stage or riser. Throw the bass drum and snare where they need to be and it's done.
BTW...that IS an interesting setup. Everything on the same plane...had to have taken some getting used to.
Re: Stands or rack?
I'd go with a Pearl Icon rack. My kit resides in a very small space. What I'm doing with my Ludwig kit I couldn't begin to achieve with stands, without going to a "larger" footprint. But, I would never totally give up stands, either. They're bought and paid for. All Yamaha hardware. I use them on my "other kits".

Re: Stands or rack?
I've thrown this out there a few times: There's no rule that says racks have to cross your bass drum. I've used smaller side racks for a few years now, and they make setup and teardown a lot easier. You can set them up offstage, carry them on, and carry them off. For a set your size,and with your setup, this might be ideal. Gibraltar makes the Stealth racks and they are great for this, or you can order the parts individually.

When I use my three up, one down set up I use my rack. right now I am using one up and one down on stands.

Re: Stands or rack?
For all my drumming career the only thing I've used on my personal drums were stands. I just find them more accommodating for use with the amount of drums and cymbals that I usually use. The times when I use racks I feel more confined and unable to make quick changes when needed. Maybe if I was more familiar with them, it might be a different story, but for right now stands get me where I want to be.

Re: Stands or rack?
ill allways go stands over rack.
though it depends if your the type to change the set up of your kit.
stands can be shifted all over the place, especially if the racks avalible are limited in what cymbal goes where (if you want your ride near the hi hat, for example, stands are better)
however, stands take up alot of space especially if the kit is having mic stands around it too...
Re: Stands or rack?
I asked this a while back in another forum and got the same mixed answers. I have a 2 up 2 down with 6 cymbals. For me, the stands got to be a real pain in the neck. I got really sick of multiple trips back and forth to the car. But, we started gigging more and I got a new kit so when we aren't gigging, I take it to practice once a week.
So for me, if you gig a lot, the rack is a great time saver. If you don't, stand offer more flexibility. I can load all my cymbals on the rack at a gig before we go on stage, then when we're up, we just lift the rack up and I'm done.
I bought a used curve Pearl rack and use a bar across the front and one to the right.
Re: Stands or rack?
It comes down to personal preference. There's arguments to be made both ways. I myself play on a Gibraltar rack and I love it. Setup is great, partly because I drive a big SUV and I tend to leave my rack setup when traveling. I don't tear it down at all, ever. So, I may be biased here. And the other guys/ gals(?) are correct in that it provides a smaller footprint, especially on stage. Also, years ago, after one of my cymbal stands came crashing down during a gig, because I evidently set it up with too much weight to one side or had th legs misaligned, I decided to go racks. I feel more confident that nothing will fall over. No stands for my band mates to run into and knock over, either. Although, I do like the way a drumkit looks without racks rather than with them.

Re: Stands or rack?
it all comes down to personal preferences..IMO it depends on how much traveling you're doing regarding sessions. if you have a set that's going to be stationary then it really doesn't matter. but if you are on the road a lot, i would say it'll be easier setting up and breaking down just having a rack system. stands tend to take up way too much space..at times..but overall it's personal taste. hope this helps.keep drumming..

Product description
How do archaeologists explore the various dimensions of religion? Lars Fogelin uses archaeological work at Thotlakonda in Southern India as his lens in a broader examination of Buddhist monastic life. He discovers the tension between the desired isolation of the monastery and the mutual engagement with neighbors in the Early Historic Period. He also sketches how religious architectural design and use of landscape helped to shaped these relationships. Drawing on historical accounts, religious documents, and inscriptions, as well as results of his systematic archaeological survey, Fogelin is able to shed new light on the ritual and material workings of Early Buddhism in this region, and shows how archaeology can contribute to our understanding of religious practice.

Review quote
The publication of Archaeology of Early Buddhism will serve a very broad audience, including specialists of Buddhist monastic history and students of the material expression of ritual and religion in a complex cultural setting. Fogelin has effectively integrated modern theory on ritual, practice, and landscape with archaeological data from a key south Indian Buddhist monastery-Thotlakonda-to create a stimulating explanation of its place within a complex political, economic, and social setting. It is certain to become a classic in the field. -- Mark Aldenderfer, University of Arizona This is an important little book written with clarity and without jargon. It will, like no other, allow the historian and textual scholar to see what can and cannot be learned from the archeological study of a seemingly ordinary Buddhist monastery in early India. Fogelin's definition of the practice of phenomenology, incidentally, deserves to become a classic. -- Gregory Schopen, UCLA In this important work, Lars Fogelin brings rigorous archaeological research methodologies to bear on questions of religion, arguing that material evidence of religious practice is no more intractable than the many other culturally laden practices that archaeologists examine. Fogelin puts his perspective to the test in a nuanced exploration of ritual space, material culture, and sacred landscapes in and around an early historic Buddhist monastery in Southeast India. In so doing, he provides a valuable model for future scholars of religion to follow and makes important contributions to scholarship on early Buddhism and South Asian archaeology and to the larger audience of archaeologists and anthropologists interested in the study of ritual and religion. -- Carla Sinopoli, Professor of Anthropology, University of Michigan & Director of the University of Michigan Anthropology Museum I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Fogelin's writing is very clear, even when approaching the sticky bits of archaeological theory like (shudder) Marxism and phenomenology... the Archaeology of Early Buddhism is an excellent introduction both the the archaeology of Buddhism and practice theory as it is exercised in archaeology. Archaeology.About.Com Written to appeal to a wide audience, the book evokes successfully Thotlakonda's coastal landscape and provides good descriptions of the fieldwork. It is illustrated throughout with excellent maps, diagrams and photographs, and references are comprehensive. -- Sylvia Lachmann Fogelin's study of an Early Historic Period Buddhist monastery illustrates the growing sophistication of archaeological approaches to the study of religion. He addresses the place of ritual in the relationships between monks and the laity from the perspective of practice theory, along with the social roles and tensions of the monastery more generally. The result is both a nuanced understanding of the social context of religion, and a methodological primer for contemporary, theoretically-informed archaeology of religion. -- David S. Whitley, author, The Art of the Shaman; editor, Archaeology of Religion series [Fogelin's] work will go a long way in understanding the complex issue of religion in a locality.

Transcript:Currency Tips For Traveling in Europe
I am Nadia Chapman for about.com and today I have a quick guide on currency tips when traveling in Europe.
European Countries That Use the Euro As Currency
The main currency used in Europe is of course the Euro. It is now used in 23 countries and states throughout Europe:
- Andorra
- Austria
- Belgium
- Cyprus
- Estonia
- Finland
- Germany
- Greece
- Ireland
- Italy
- Kosovo
- Luxembourg
- Malta
- Monaco
- Montenegro
- the Netherlands
- Portugal
- San Marino
- Slovakia
- Slovenia
- Spain
- Vatican City
European Countries That Use Other Forms of Currency
The following countries use a different currency:
- Armenia
- Bulgaria
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Hungary
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Poland
- Romania
- Sweden
- Switzerland
Currency Tips for Using the Euro When Traveling in Europe
Like American or Canadian dollars, the Euro is made of 100 cents. The coins are issued in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cents, and 1 and 2 Euros coins. The paper bills go from 5 € , 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500 € bills.
Currency Tips for Withdrawing Money When Traveling in Europe
There are many ways to transfer your money to Euros, or other European currencies. It is a good idea to figure out what works best for you prior to leaving for Europe. A good trick is to ask your bank if they are associated with a European bank where you can use an ATM without paying ATM fees. Bank of America, for example is part of Global alliance with several banks throughout Europe. If you are banking with them and use your ATM card at Barclays in the UK, or BNP Paribas in France for instance, you will not pay ATM fees. You will still have international transaction fees or foreign currency fees, but avoiding the ATM transaction fee will make a big difference in the long run.
A good idea is also to notify your bank when you leave the country, they will put a note in your file, and won't block your card once it's being used far away from home.
Currency Tips for Exchanging Money When Traveling in Europe
If you get to Europe with dollars, try to avoid currency exchange booths at the airports, they tend to have the highest fees of all. Instead look for an independent currency exchange booth, or a bank. In big cities you will have plenty of choices, walk around and read their rates, or call and ask to find the best rates out there.
Be aware that in some small villages, you might not find exchange booths, and sometimes no matter where you are, some banks might not have an ATM, or it may be out of order, or simply out of cash. It is a good idea to have a backup plan such as a credit cards, or travelers' checks.
General Currency Tips for Traveling in Europe
Whether you are taking money out of the ATM, or changing your dollars somewhere, it's a good idea to change a good amount since every time you make a transaction, you get fees. Plan on taking enough money to last you long enough so you won't get fees too often!Having one currency for so many countries makes it simple to compare the price of services and goods within Europe. The Euros are similar to the dollars making them very easy to use for North Americans.
Have a great trip! Thanks for watching, and for more information, please visit us on the web at About.com.

Tasty and effective for heartburn as well. We were pleasantly surprised when we tried this product. The peppermint taste is not overwhelming as it is with some other mints. It's also very effective in resolving heartburn right away. Only problem is the store does not keep enough product on hand to satisfy everyone's needs. July 14, 2014

My views on higher education are very similar to my views on medical care: we suffer from excessive cost growth driven by credentialism, third-party payment, a lack of transparency, and overreliance on inefficient public institutions. Vance Fried of Oklahoma State University has offered the definitive critique of how federal higher education policy shapes this landscape.
Razib Khan raises another interesting question: should public colleges and universities strive to offer the same complement of courses of instruction as elite private research universities, or should they, drawing on the land grant model, focus on STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math) that are widely acknowledged as the best avenues for upward mobility for students from working and middle class backgrounds? At the heart of Razib's argument is the view that public institutions should primarily devote themselves to facilitating upward mobility, and this in turn suggests an emphasis on STEM:
Even a field as non-scientific as law can be acknowledged to have necessary utility in an advanced society. In contrast, though anthropology is edifying and sharpens our perceptions of the state of human affairs it is a new discipline which is not necessary for a modern society. In a straightened fiscal environment I think it's reasonable to suppose that public education should be focused on fields which have a practical import.

I have a copy of Microsoft Developer Studio, but when I try to run it on Parallels, I am getting a fatal error message. My co-worker told me that he saw this as well whenever he did not have MS Dev installed on the C drive. Since I have a virtual C drive I am wondering if I can even run MS Dev on parallels.
I have heard that it is easier to program on the Mac side of things, but I have not done this before. From what I understand there is a program called Xcode (although it is not on my machine right now, I think it came on the CD) that I could use.
Has any one every used X code for programming Fortran?
I am assuming that I need to install X code and a Fortran compiler. Does anyone know where I could get the compiler?
Can someone give me the basics on how I could start programming
Fortran on the Mac.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, your install disc does have XCode, but I don't recall it having Fortran. If you want the latest XCode you can download it from Apple for free by signing up for a free developer id.

The easiest way to access open source for the mac and keep it up to date is using Fink (google, it is free). A helper program for fink is called FinkCommander (google, also free). Install Fink first, then the helper program. This gives you a gui interface for accessing many open source code out there for the mac. I believe this is how I got my gcc/g77 suite.
Alternatively, you can buy a compiler for the mac such as the Portland Group compilers,

This product is pretty expensive but I understand they work very well and are used for some pretty heavy duty compiling (e.g. climate models) so will likely be around awhile. The software works for C, C++, FORTRAN and possibly others.

WASHINGTON -- Congress sent President Barack Obama hard-fought legislation cutting a record $38 billion from domestic spending on Thursday, bestowing bipartisan support on the first major compromise between the White House and newly empowered Republicans in Congress.
''Welcome to divided government,'' said House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, Republican point man in tough negotiations with the president and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., that produced a bill no one claimed to like in its entirety.
Leader of a rambunctious new majority, Boehner said the cuts in domestic programs were unprecedented. Yet also described the measure as a less-than-perfect first step in a long campaign against federal red ink.
The White House also looked ahead to a struggle now beginning over national spending priorities in an era of soaring deficits and a $14 trillion national debt.
''We all know there are tough challenges ahead, from growing our economy to reducing our deficit, but we must build on this bipartisan compromise to tackle these issues and meet the expectations of the American people,'' said an administration statement.
The bipartisan votes belied a fierce struggle that preceded passage and only narrowly avoided a partial government shutdown a week ago.
The tally in the House was 260-167. Among the supporters were 60 of the 87 first-term Republicans, many of them elected with tea party support.
The Senate added its approval a short while later 81-19.
Even before the final votes, House Republicans pointed eagerly toward a vote today on their next move against mounting deficits, a comprehensive budget that claims cuts measured in the trillions, rather than billions, over the next decade. That vote is expected to be as partisan as the spending bill was not.
The measure approved Thursday will finance the government through the Sept. 30 end of the budget year, chopping $38 billion from current levels and $78 billion from the president's request of more than a year ago.
Billions were saved by eliminating congressional earmarks, and billions more in funds from the Census Bureau, left over from the 2010 national head count, now finished.
The Environmental Protection Agency, one of the Republicans' favorite targets, took a $1.6 billion cut. Spending for community health centers was reduced by $600 million, and the Community Development Block Grant program favored by mayors by $950 million more.
The bipartisan drive to cut federal spending reached into every corner of the government's sprawl of domestic programs. Money to renovate the Commerce Department building in Washington was cut by $8 million. The Appalachian Regional Commission, a New Deal-era program, was nicked for another $8 million and the National Park Service by $127 million more.
While Republicans touted the cuts in the measure, Democratic supporters pointed to even deeper reductions or even outright program terminations that Republicans had been forced to give up in negotiations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Capital Crimes,
Lou Allin "Islander" (Vancouver Island) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cut Off His Tale (Paperback)
Social historian Hollis Grant knows that her short marriage to Reverend Paul Robertson is on the rocks. Though living at the manse, they occupy two different worlds. It's just a matter of time before the final paperwork separates them in divorce. Then at the start of her first marathon in Ottawa, she stumbles over Paul's body, an ugly knife in his back. As events unfold, she wonders if she really knew the man at all. He was active in many causes, from helping refugees to integrating gays into the church. Yet not only had he been having torrid affairs with several woman in his parish, but he had been collecting sensitive information for another controversial book. As Hollis struggles to arrange for his funeral and memorial, she finds herself threatened by a person in the shadows who will stop at nothing to hide a deadly secret. Ace short-story writer Joan Boswell shows that she can go the distance with this nifty first novel. She sets a fast pace and never slows, working in tandem with a bright new detective, Rhona Simpson. One by one, they unearth the suspects, usual and unusual. Boswell has an intimate knowledge of the organization, both official and non-official, that runs a church struggling to grow with the new century. She deals with heavy contemporary issues with a clear sense of fairness and justice, revealing the personalities of her two leads layer by layer while giving the reader a fascinating tour of Canada's capital city. Let's see more of Hollis and this tough, quarter-Cree detective. They're both keepers.

Style: Yang style Tai Chi--
An older man in the 1930's passing away suddenly from pneumonia or food poisoning or (hell!) both wouldn't surprize me at all.
It also wouldn't surprize me to learn that Kano got wacked by someone for something or other.
However, if you're making that claim, you'd better back it up with something significant. Are there any sources listed on the Wikipedia article? Any other accounts that suggest something might be amiss. Hell, do we know for sure that the Kodokan was turned into a military academy?
I don't know what happened
But to whoever said it was suspicious that after he died the Kodokan became a military institusion:
Think about it - if he died of random food poisoning, of course they'd follow through with their agenda for the Kodokan. Doesn't seem that suspicious to me.-Jordan

D.C.'s GOVgreen conference shows off the latest in sustainable transportation
- (Photo: John Hendel)
"Oh wow," a suited businessman said to his fellow official-looking friends. "Look at that!"
The small group of men pointed and smiled as they walked by, their eyes locked on the bicycle folded into a tiny space that occupied perhaps a third of the size of a full bike. Philip Koopman, a managing partner for BicyclePASS and an owner of D.C.'s BicycleSPACE store, bent down to demonstrate how, in a matter of a few seconds, he could unfold the bike back to its full size, right there on the exhibition floor of the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Mount Vernon. Koopman and his associates came to show how bicycles could be integrated into a businesses' operations — like, say, in the military or on airport grounds — to help employees get around more easily. Koopman told me he's especially excited for how they can tailor bicycles to the needs of different businesses and employers.
BicycleSPACE was simply one of around 180 or so exhibits on display at yesterday and today's national GOVgreen conference and exposition, sponsored by the Center for Environmental Innovation and Leadership and now in its second year. It also featured about 25 or so educational sessions. Networking is king at this gathering of hundreds in the private and public sector, where the underlying goal is how to integrate sustainable practices and technology into their operations. Transportation, of course, is a huge part of green living. The U.S. Department of Energy, after all, called oil our "greatest immediate threat to U.S. economic and national security" in a report from late September. Mayor Vince Gray has even declared this whole week to be "D.C. GOVgreen Week" in honor of the conference.
As I explored the grounds of GOVgreen, new transportation projects were everywhere.

In one corner was what appeared to be a juiced-up Segway-esque model called a Trikke, an electric three-wheeled ride that travels up to 16 miles/hour. The Virginia-based company allowed anyone brave enough to ride a Trikke around the grounds, provided they signed a waiver. One of their representatives told me that, after having a stroke a year ago, the Trikke provided one of the best and easiest ways to get around. The two-mile distance between his home and church suddenly seemed like nothing. The Trikke website says that the vehicle, in addition to its use for fun and fitness, offers a certain stability for those in therapy. Photographer Joshua Yospyn gives us several photos of the ride.
Elsewhere were companies touting their electric cars and vehicles, especially for large-scale commercial use. Ford was there, showing off the Ford Focus Electric (one of five electric vehicles the car company will offer in the next couple years) and the light-duty Transit Connect Electric. The Dallas-based Electric Mobile Cars occupied some space with their vehicles, which they will be debuting commercially next month. It's only fitting, of course, that the exhibition grounds also featured the people responsible for electric-vehicle charging stations — I saw DBT offering its own pamphlets, and they've been engineering charging infrastructure for nearly two decades now.
The exhibition even addressed pedestrian issues on occasion, with an ecological paver company from Illinois making its presence known.
Although transportation only comprises one dimension of many at the ongoing GOVgreen conference, what I've seen so far is a promising start. I stopped in for one of the educational sessions and heard Dianne Shoaf of the U.S. Postal Service talking about its green initiatives and voluntary compliance with the federal government's executive order 13514, which mandates several sustainability measures throughout government agencies — in particular affecting transportation. The order hopes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 28% by 2020.
"We are not really required to comply with 13514, but we do it," Shoaf said. In front of a packed conference room, she explained how the USPS has assembled "lean green teams" and tools they've created to let employees track their sustainability progress, including how much petroleum they've consumed over a given period of time. "They can see where they rank and how everyone's doing around the country," Shoaf explained as she demonstrated what the tracking program looked like.
The conference continues throughout today. Federal and military employees can attend the educational sessions for free, and the exhibition floor is open to all at no cost.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Patented July 6, 1954 COPOLYMERS OF HYDROXYACETIC ACID WITH OTHER ALCOHOL ACIDS Norton A. Higgins, Wilmington. Del., assignor to E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, Del., a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Application October 25, 1950,
Serial No. 192,137 I Claims.
This invention relates to copolymers of hydroxyacetic acid with other alcohol acids and to a process for preparing them, and is more particularly concerned with orientable linear copolyesters of monohydroxy monocarboxylic alcohol acids in which hydroxyacetic acid predominates.
In United States Patent No. 2,362,511 issued November 14, 1944, to Wilbur O. Teeters it is disclosed that useful copolymers based on hydroxyacetic acid, also known as glycolic acid, may be prepared by a process in which hydroxyacetic acid is reacted at a temperature between 150 C. and 300 C. in the presence of water with a bifunctional compound other than hydroxyacetic acid containing one free hydroxyl andone free carboxyl group until substantially all of the water has been removed from the reaction mixture. Bifunctional compounds disclosed include hydroxy-carboxylic acids, such as lactic acid, and
partially condensed phthalic-glycerides modified with long chain fatty acids or abietic acid j (rosin).
The above copolymers are useful for a variety of purposes, e. g., as ingredients in coating com- 5 positions and adhesives, the copolymers in which has not been possible heretofore to prepare copolymers of hydroxy-carboxylic acids, containing hydroxyacetic acid as a major ingredient, which could be formed into tenacious, orientable fibers and self-supporting films. For the formation of orientable fibers and films, linear copolymers of hydroxyacetic acid must have a fairly high molecular weight, as indicated by such tests as manual spinnability and viscosity and melting point measurements.
Accordingly it is an object of the present invention to provide new and useful copolymers of monohydroxy monocarboxylic alcohol acids containing hydroxyacetic acid as a major ingredient. It is another object of the invention to prepare such copolymers of hydroxyacetic acid which are suitable for the formation of orientable fibers and. self-sustaining films. Other objects of the invention will become apparent from the following description and the accompanying claims.
In accordance with the present inventionit has been found that copolymers suitable for forming orientable fibers and self-supporting films may be preparedby heating hydroxyacetic acid with a lesser amount of another monohydroxy monocarboxylic alcohol acid in the presproducts such as glycolide.
2 ence of triphenyl phosphite stabilizer and antimony trioxide catalyst at to 230 C. and atmospheric pressure until rapid evolution of water ceases, and then heating the reaction mixture under vacuum at temperatures of from to 245 C. until a high degree of polymerization is obtained.
The amount of triphenyl phosphite stabilizer used should be from 0.05 to 0.2 percent of the combined weight of hydroxy acids used, about 0.1 percent being a desirable amount to prevent decomposition reactions. The amount of antimony trioxide catalyst should be from 0.005 to 0.02 percent of the weight of the hydroxy acids, about 0.01 percent being the preferred amount.
Water will commence to distill slowly from the reaction mixture at about 160 C., but the temperature is preferably raised sufiiciently to produce a fairly rapid evolution of water so that this step of the reaction is complete within about 0.5 to 2.0 hours. A temperature of 195 to 205 C. is preferred for most reactions. Higher temperatures favor side reactions, such as the formation of glycolide, which becomes excessive above 230 C.
The vacuum polymerization is preferably conducted under a high vacuum of from 0 to 5 mm. of mercury absolute pressure to remove by- For most reactions the heating should be in the range of from 195 to 220 0., although higher temperatures may be desirable in some cases. I emperatures above 245 0. cause the material to darken and should be avoided.
The length of time required for the vacuum polymerization varies with the type of copolymer and the degree'of polymerization required, at least 30 to 48 hours generally being necessary to obtain a fairly high degree of polymerization when using the preferred conditions indicated above. A high degree of polymerization is necessary for the formation of tenacious, orientable fibers and self-supporting films. For a particular type of copolymer an indication of the degree of polymerization is provided by viscosity and melting point measurements, but such tests are apt to be misleading when comparing different types of copolymers. A manual test for spinnability and orientability of the resulting fibers, while not providing a numerical basis for comparison, is the simplest generally applicable indication of when the minimum degree of polymerization has been achieved.
The test for spinnability can readily be made by touching the surface of the molten copolymer with a glass stirring rod and then drawing the rod away slowly to form a fiber. Since temperature can be a factor in this test, the copolymer should. be heated to a temperature of not more than a degree or two above the melting point. If a fiber is formed in this test, orientability is determined by subjecting the fiber to tension. Most orientable fibers can be extended considerably beyond the point of elastic recovery without breaking, e. g., can be drawn to retain a length two or more times the original length when the tension is released, and also usually exhibit the property of necking down during drawing in the same manner as nylon fibers. An exception has been noted in the case of copolymer fibers exhibiting elastomeric propperties, which can be oriented but do not neck down in the process.
Inherent viscosity measurements of solutions of polymers provide a numerical indication of the degree of polymerization of a particular type of copolymer, but are not reliable for comparing different types of copolymers. A viscosimeter fiow time is determined at 30 C. for a 0.5 percent solution of the copolymer in Fomal solvent parts phenol and 7 parts trichlorophenol) and for the solvent alone. Since some polymer degradation occurs in hot Fomal solution, all conditions must be standardized in order to make the resulting error as constant as possible. The inherent viscosity is calculated as follows:
solution flow time solvent flow time- The minimum value will vary with the type of copolymer, but a general observation is that orientable fibers cannot be formed from copo1ymers of the types disclosed herein if the inherent viscosity is less than 0.2 when determined as above, and much higher values are desirable in most cases.
The melting point provides an additional indication of the degree of polymerization. This could be determined by the capillary tube method used for crystalline organic compounds. Since the copolymers are amorphous rather than crystalline, it is preferable to use the polymer stick temperature, which gives results about C. lower for these copolymers. The polymer stick temperature is determined by repeatedly drawing a piece of the copolymer across the face of a brass block, as the temperature of the block is slowly raised, and noting the temperature at which the copolymer first leaves a molten streak on the block. This temperature should be at least 150 C. for the copolymers disclosed herein for them to be suitable for forming useful orientable fibers and self-sustaining films. Further more a lower stick temperature is not desired for many uses of the copolymers because they would have an undesirably low softening temperature. By the above process hydroxyacetic acid can be copolymerized with smaller amounts of any mcnohydroxy mono-carboxylic alcohol acid of three or more carbon atoms to yield orientable linear copolyesters with plastic or elastomeric properties. A desirable series of copolymers, suitable for forming fibers which will neck down and orient when cold drawn, are prepared by copolymerizing hydroxyacetic acid with 5% to percent by weight of one or more compounds represented by the formula, HO-R-COOH, where R is a saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group of two to about five carbon atoms, e. g., lactic, hydracrylic and hydroxypivalic acids.
Inherent viscosity 200 L d Copolymers having rubbery (elastomeric) prop erties may be obtained with longer chain length omega-hydroxy acids, e. g., 10 percent or more of 7-hydroxy-5-methyl-heptanoic acid or ll-hydroxyundecanoic acid.
Copolymers can also be prepared with alcohol carboxylic acids which contain an aromatic nucleus in their structure, such as those represented by the formula, HOCH2(A1)COOH, where Ar is an aromatic nucleus of 6 to 10 carbon atoms and is preferably a hydrocarbon except that ether linkages may be present. Examples of these are p-hydro:ryetho:-:ybenzoic acid, p-hydroxyethoxyphenylacetic acid, p-hydroxyethoxypher utyric acid, p-hydroxymethylbenzoic acid an inandelic acid. These are difiicult to copolymerize with hydroxyacetic acid and require a much longer polymerization cycle than the aliphatic alcohol acids to obtain spinnable, orientable copolymers. The first three of the above examples contain ether linkages. Such compounds behave in the same way as those in which the l'ljdlfOZfyl and carboxyl radicals are attached to a hydro-- carbon chain.
Low molecular weight glycol--dibasic acid linear condensation products, which may be considered as monohydroxy monocarboxylic acids, may be copolymerized with hydroxyacetic acid, or low molecular weight polymers thereof, to yield spinnable, orientable fibers. These include the oxalic, adipic, sebacic, maleic and terephthalic acid esters of ethylene glycol or hexamethylene glycol, which should be condensed. in substantially equimolecular proportions. The reason for this is that compounds which do not contain both carboxyl and alcoholic hydroxyl radicals act as end groupers and limit the molecular weight of the copolymer, although up to about 1 percent, based on the weight of the copolymer, can be tolerated and still obtain spinnable, orienta'ble copolymers. On the other hand, polyfunctional hydroxy carboxylic acid compounds, such as tartaric acid, yield undesirable insoluble, cross-linked copolymers when present to the extent of 5 percent or more.
One of the principal advantages of the copolymers over straight polyhydroxyacetic ester is that the solubility in organic solvents is improved and water sensitivity is decreased in most cases. Thus most of the copolymers are soluble in dimethylformamide whereas unmodified polyhydroxyacetic ester is not. Under comparable conditions films of copolymers of hydroacetic acid with 10 percent of either hydroxypivalic acid or p-hydroxyethoxybenzoic acid withstood boiling water for longer times than the unmodified polyhydroxyacetic ester. A further advantags is that some of the modifications can be copolymerized to obtain clear, transparent films or massive chunks more readily than the unmodified hydroxyacetic acid polymer.
The invention is further illustrated by the examples shown in the tables, which are not to be construed as limiting the invention. In each example hydroxyacetic acid was copolymerized with the amount of a hydroxy carboxylic acid or other modifier indicated, in the presence of 0.1 percent of triphenyl phosphite stabilizer and percent of antimony trioxide catalyst, on the weight of the acids. The heating cycle is shown. The mixture was heated at 197 C. and atmospheric pressure for from 0.5 to 1.0 hour until evolution of water substantially ceased. The pressure was then lowered to less than 1 mm. of mercury absolute pressure 5 and the heating was resumed under this vacuum at the temperatures and for the lengths of time indicated.
In Example 4 the h ydroxypivalic acid was 6 phenol). Table I illustrates copolymers which formed orientable fibers and self-sustaining films. The modified hydroxyacetic acid polymers of Table II were not spinnable and did not form the hexamethylene glycol-sebacic acid condensate was prepared by heating equimolecular proportions at 197 C. and atmospheric pressure for 0.75 hour, at 197 C. under vacuum for 5.5 hours, and at 245 C. under vacuum for 2.0 hours. The resulting low molecular weight polymer was mixed with partially polymerized hydroxyacetic acid and the mixture was copolymerized as indicated in the table. In Example 9 a 55/45 ethylene glycol-terephthalic acid/ethylene glycolsebacic acid polymer was prepared and then copolymerized with partially polymerized hydroxyacetic acid as indicated.
The properties of the resulting copolymers were evaluated by the methods discussed previously. Solubility was determined in chloroform, meta cresol, cyclohexane, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamicle, 80 percent ethanol, formic acid, water and xylene. All were soluble in Fomal (10 parts phenol and 7 parts trichloroadded as the methyl ester. Hydrolysis took place 5 Self-Susta g films.
