In a troubleshooting proces some very easy steps can be taken to retrieve a lot of necessary information.
RES Automation Manager can help to gather a lot of information with a few simple clicks.
For example: A customer is experiencing troubles with their Citrix servers, users sessions will not log off correctly, servers will hang at the end of the day. Where to begin?
First step should be to have insight why the sessions are not ending properly, which processes keep the session active? You can open your server consoles each hour, check the taskmanager, write down the problem sessions, but there is a much easier way.
Create a job within RES Automation Manager to run recurring each hour on each Terminal Server, use a 'Execute Command' to kick off "C:\Windows\system32\qprocess.exe *", like:
The output might show you incomplete sessions and the running processes and incomplete sessions if there are:
This can help you a step further in your troubleshooting process.

Product description
This title shows the five most important elements of a life well-lived and how they are interdependent. Contrary to what many people believe, well-being isn't just about happiness. Nor is it about only wealth, success, or physical health. In fact, focusing on any one of these elements in isolation ends in frustration and a sense of failure. When Gallup researchers interviewed people around the world about their well-being, they discovered five elements that shape the way people evaluate their lives. "Well-Being" is the first book aimed at a general audience that shows the interconnections among those elements and how they cannot be considered independently. The book provides readers with a unique, research-based approach to improving well-being in all aspects of their lives. Written in a breezy, compelling style, "Well-Being" is sure to engage and provide useful and actionable insights to a wide variety of readers. Included with the book is a unique access code to the Well-Being Tracker, an online programme designed to help readers track their well-being.

Re: My rant on today's pop music
It is interesting the sliding floor of contradictions and myths that creep up into the conversation. If King Crimson is pop, then it goes to demonstrate the original thesis that most pop music is crap because it's not as edgy as Crim, it's not in 9/8, doesn't use any interesting textures or it's not experimental. Prog was popular back in the day because there was an new outlet to highlight it in FM radio. But the growing popularity of punk and the nostalgia for simpler time of girl bands, garage rock and simple ABA songs was fast encroaching. So even back then, there were a lot of people who were not happy with that music. Of course, Am radio was still replete with Billy don't Be a Hero, and Love Will Keep Us together pop ditties that monopolized the mindset of the many, the many now stuck in American idol oblivion waiting for American next big band or dance company.
I remember listening to Carole King's Tapestry a few years back for the first time since it came out and thinking man those ABA forms really get tiring after you hear a few of them. I never tired of hearing a good pop song like those mentioned; but not as nauseum. It is amazing to me however, that so many seem to not be able to go a day without hearing Stairway to Heaven of Bohemian Rhapsody. I think FM radio has done more to stifle its generation than emancipate it.
But now the mass proliferation of music that we have with the internet should leave no one complaining. I've been hearing for ten years now about how in a few years it's all going to break and something is going to happen. That is the first myth. it ain't happening if YOU are not making it happen. What the internet promises is an easier connection to information and the music you love. But it hasn't rid the world of pop oblivion and it won't any time soon. Peeps in power ain't given up that ride any time soon.

By Navy Adm. Mike MullenChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4, 2010 Two hundred and twenty years ago today, the United States Congress created the U.S. Revenue-Marine to safeguard our young Nation's shores. We proudly celebrate this as the day the United States Coast Guard was born.
Over the years, generations of men and women have bravely stood the watch in our oldest continuous seagoing service, keeping our homeland safe, protecting our maritime resources and nobly serving as America's Maritime Guardians.
I note with special pride the 2,500 Coast Guardsmen on duty in and around the Gulf of Mexico right now, working hard each day to help clean up the worst oil spill in our nation's history. Having just visited one of our command centers down in New Orleans, I can attest to the professionalism and the sheer determination they are bringing to that critical job.
Their service also extends well beyond our shores. This year alone, Coast Guard men and women responded superbly to the devastating earthquake in Haiti, fought piracy off the coast of Africa, and executed counter-drug operations in the Caribbean, all the while keeping our people, our ports and our waterways safe and secure.
Quite simply, Coast Guardsmen serve wherever America needs them. And Coast Guard families are right there, too, making possible through their own service and sacrifice everything their loved ones do for the nation.
This remarkable story of global service points to a courage and flexibility that makes the Coast Guard's history a very special one. From the humble beginnings of ten schooners designed to protect a small nation from smugglers, the United States Coast Guard now stands as a model around the world. I am very proud to serve with you.
The Joint Chiefs and I salute the incredible men, women, and families of our United States Coast Guard, Reserve and Auxiliary. America is safer because of you.
Happy Birthday … and Semper Paratus!

Kim Kardashian Flaunts Crazy Cleavage, Gets Close With Kanye West at Paris Fashion Week (PHOTOS)
Kim Kardashian isn't wasting any time getting back to her pre-baby body.
The reality TV star, who gave birth to baby North West just three months ago, is looking like a sexy mama and she's not afraid to show it. Newly blonde Kim and her boyfriend Kanye West were seen at the Givenchy show during Paris Fashion Week on September 29, with Kim showing some cleavage in a black dress with a sheer top.
The new parents sat together during the show and then posed for pics while walking hand-in-hand. The only thing that would make this outing more picture perfect would be if baby Norie was right there in the middle!

By Alden Wicker
This post originally appeared on LearnVest.
You've already done your taxes, right? (If not, start here, with our easy guide to filing, because time is running out.)
But even if you've got them figured out—or have an excellent accountant doing them for you—you still might be in for some expensive surprises this season.
Below, Joseph Boyce, a New York–based CPA, and Gail Rosen, CPA and owner of a New Jersey–based accounting firm, highlight the taxes they'll be warning clients about this season.
Granted, these picks don't apply to everyone—which is exactly why they're so sneaky. From brand-new measures like the NIIT to longstanding gotchas like the AMT, you'll want to be aware of these long before you file.
1. The Medicare Tax
Let's start with the shiny new Medicare tax, which was instituted as part of the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a. Obamacare). It only affects people with incomes over a certain threshold … but if you are one of those people, you might be surprised to see a few hundred dollars tacked on your tax bill.
Who May Be Subject: If you make at least $200,000 individually, $250,000 filing jointly with your spouse or $125,000 filing separately from your spouse, you'll be assessed a .9% tax on any income beyond that.
What You Should Know: The thing is, according to Boyce, you can be taxed two ways: If you make over $200,000 individually, you may not notice, as your employer takes the tax out of your paycheck throughout the year.
Or, there's another option. "If Jim is married and made $190,000 in 2013, and his spouse Kim made $150,000, neither made enough to have the tax taken out of their paycheck all along," illustrates Boyce. "Instead, because they make $340,000 together, they will get hit with the whole tax at the end of the year. As a result, the couple will have to pay an additional tax on the $90,000 over $250,000, which would be $810." That, you'll notice.
2. The Jock Tax
This tax, levied by 22 individual states on high-earning traveling workers, is called the jock tax because its most high-profile targets are famous athletes like basketball and football players. Technically, it is the most common form of what's called "nexus," which taxes income earned out-of-state. So, for example, Seahawks and Broncos players who traveled to New Jersey to play the Super Bowl will owe the state taxes on a percentage of their income when they file their 2014 tax return—because New Jersey is where they earned it.
Who May Be Subject: Athletes are targeted by this tax because both their salaries and schedules are made public, but states have also tried to target traveling musicians, lawyers and bankers by looking up their travel records. Even if you aren't a famous athlete or musician, if you travel for work, you should be on the lookout for this tax.
What You Should Know: "The minute you spend one hour in a state on business, you could have, depending in the state rule, nexus there," explains Rosen. "Every state has a different law." And even if you don't report your out-of-state income, you might not skirt this tax—other people could be reporting for you. "If you work for someone, they could write on your W-2 that you are in different states, that you go to different offices. If you're self-employed, you might get a 1099 that is filed in that state office," he says. "Or at a trade show, state officials may come up to you and say, 'Are you registered to do business in this state?' If you don't report, your accountant is going to have to do a lot more work." If you cross state borders in your work, inform your accountant of all earnings in other states—or at the very least, where you've traveled for business and what you were doing there. And yes, if this tax applies to you … you'll want an accountant.

(This review was written based on the hardcover edition.)
The graph, when defined as a set of places and connections between them, can be used to describe a large number of situations. It began rather simply, as so many things have, with a problem posed to a talented mathematician. In this case, the problem was given to the great Leonard Euler. It was simple enough and dealt with the Old Prussian town of Konigsburg and the seven bridges that connected the two islands to the sections on the banks of the Pregel River. The question was a fundamental one, "Is it possible to walk across each bridge exactly once in a tour of the city?" Euler proved that it was not possible and in his reduction of the problem to locations and connections, inspired the invention of graph theory. His proof is so easy to understand that it is often presented in basic math classes.
Higgins improves on this, demonstrating some of the enormous variety of problems that graph theory can be applied to. Everything from family and hierarchical trees, manufacturing processes to modern computer connections are modeled using graphs. Graph theory is now so important that we offer a course in graph theory designed for computer science majors.
This book is a popular account of graph theory; nothing resembling a formal proof appears until the last chapter, which is reserved for that purpose. The exposition is clear and diagrams are included when needed. They are very helpful, clearly demonstrating the application of the technique described in the text. My favorite problem was circular Sudoku. My daughter has purchased over ten Sudoku books and has spent hours working the problems. I do not think it is a coincidence that her math grades have shown a significant improvement since she started working these problems.
This popular introduction to the history and applications of graph theory is as complete as such a work can be. It starts at the beginning and steps through many of the major problems that have made this such a valuable and necessary area of mathematics in the modern world.
Charles Ashbacher splits his time between consulting with industry in projects involving math and computers, teaching college classes and co-editing The Journal of Recreational Mathematics. In his spare time, he reads about these things and helps his daughter in her lawn care business.

@Kenneth Let me guess, you think the Todd Akins and Rick Santorums are what the US needs, and are the type of candidates that will win in 2016?
Good luck with that. Hope you don't mind another 20 years or so of Liberal dominance.
Oh, and by the way, Jindal's reference to "the stupid party" was directed at people like you who continue to equate the words Conservative and Evangelical. I gather from your comment that you missed that point.
Posted by Sheryl on 02/08 at 10:29 PM | #
Christians & conservatives, do yourself a huge favor & leave The Stupid Party to phony conservatives like Tokyo Rove & willing dupes who continually buy into the dope he & other phonies like him peddle. Reading the comments here there are two people in particular whose names do not need mentioning to know that if Tokyo Rove told them to jump off a cliff in the name of "electability" they would surely do it. The Stupid Party has become a lifeless corpse & it's time it was allowed to rest in pieces. A new 2nd Party is coming no matter how hard Tokyo Rove & his ilk try to deny it. Continuing to support The Stupid Party is no different than continually trying to catch roadrunners with ACME products. In fact The Stupid Party should be renamned The Wile E. Coyote Party until it goes over the cliff for the last time. You just can't fix stupid!

Would you describe an ideal Republican candidate you think would unite the GOP?
Posted by Ann Jones on 02/07 at 12:15 PM | #
Robert, The root of our problem lies in the answer to these questions.
Why was Lincoln shot? Why was Kennedy shot? Why was Reagan shot?
What "sin" did these three have in common?
Therein lies the very root of our problem which Jefferson addressed with this comment.
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
Thomas Jefferson, 1802
What was the common "sin"?
Lincoln, Kennedy and Reagan (and others)went against the wishes of the Banksters.

I appreciate the honesty and enthusiasm of conservative posters on this site. I am, myself, a conservative, however, I am dedicated to the goal of keeping Democrats from taking control of government and imposing financially devastating policies. To this end I must carefully examine the political realities in various regions of the country to develop the best chance scenario for retaining at least prevention of permanent Democrat control in Washington.
I am well aware that many prefer voting only for very conservative candidates, however, this may not present the requisite number of acceptable votes in Congress. It may be necessary to make some accommodation to those slightly less conservative in order to elect representatives who will be able to maintain a Republican majority that can prevent complete Democrat takeover of government providing the opportunity to utterly change our governing principles.
In addition the political landscape is changing. With increasing numbers of immigrants...the current amnesty an impending disaster... coupled with ever increasing payments to non-workers, the political dynamics are headed with certainty to liberal democrat territory. To be pressing for extremely conservative policies and candidates would make complete take over of government by liberal politicians simple and certain. The consequences would be destruction of the America we know and love.
The only way to preserve a chance for recovering control of government the focus MUST be election, at minimum, a significant majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives. At the same time the Senate must be at least very nearly balanced if Democrats retain control. I find it unlikely that Republicans will elect a president in the near future. I suspect that there will be two terms after Pres Obama before a Republican President can be elected.
If any believe that my view is too dismal, that simply pressuring candidates for office to vote conservatively will work, I wish you well, however, I could not support financially such tactics. I would vote Republican regretting every moment spent voting for unelectable candidates and granting Democrats access to complete control from law to judicial control essentially freezing out Republican ideas for decades.
God save America!

pu5erfish, Apparently you have not so much as a clue as to what is going on in DC. Watch the price of everything you need to exist go up and up and up.
If you think the DINOs are any different than the RINOs then you are really behind the curve.
You might ask yourself how a nobody with no work experience or military experience was put in the White House.
You might also read the books he has written.
OR, Just stay in the tiny box which you are now living in where there is no thinking allowed and hope and hope that you are right, and when the months income buys one weeks worth of food, perhaps you will ask yourself what went wrong. Oh, that's right it is all George's fault.

Hi, Judi. Thank you for doing this piece. Throughout the 2012 campaigns it appeared that Rove was supporting the opposition. With his most recent moves, it appears he is continuing in the same vein. Sometimes I wonder whose payroll he's on. We need to listen closely to Mark, a great guy who we can trust.
We must not lose sight of the fact that if the GOP loses the House in 2014, the game will be over. We won't have any chance of regaining control of anything in 2016 if obama has both houses of Congress in 2015 and 2016. Our Republic will only be a distant memory. That is, if we're alive to remember it. Retaining the House must be #1 for now. We need to find good candidates and then support the hell out of them. If we do that we'll have plenty of time to work on 2016.
Take care of yourself, Darlin'.

The joint Obama-Rove betrayal destined to unite conservatives
Posted by Judi McLeod on Feb 6, 2013 at 10:34 AM
Obama-Rove sellout of America
Thank God for Mark Levin, who tells it like it is, depressing as it is.
American conservatives have an enemy every bit as destructive as President Barack Hussein Obama. Former Bush administration adviser Karl Rove should be renamed to identify who he truly is, 'Karl Rogue'.
As Levin describes it, in real time the ship of state Titanic is heading full-speed toward the iceberg known as the Fundamental Transformation of America. Obama is the captain of the Titanic, but the "barnacles on the side of the Titanic" are "Karl Rove and his puppet Stephen J. Law".More...

This invention relates to microencapsulated materials and sampler articles containing microencapsulated materials. In particular the present invention relates to microencapsulated materials on a strip provided between two sheet surfaces such that upon removal of said strip from between said two surfaces, some capsules rupture, releasing material contained therein.
Encapsulated materials have been used for many years in a wide variety of commercial applications. Early uses of encapsulated materials included paper coated with capsules bearing coloring material therein which could be used as a recording medium. U.S. Pat. No. 3,016,308 discloses one of the early efforts using encapsulated material as the image source on recording paper. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,058,434 and 4,201,404 show other methods of application of encapsulated coloring materials on paper substrates to be used as imaging media and the like. U.S. Pat. No. 3,503,783 shows microcapsules having coloring material therein which are rupturable by the application of heat, pressure and/or radiation because of a metal coating on the surface of the capsule. These rupturable microcapsules, in one embodiment, may be secured between a substrate and a photoconductive top coat to enable photosensitive imaging of the system.
A wide variety of processes exist by which microcapsules can be manufactured. These varied processes provide different techniques for producing capsules of varying sizes, alternative materials for the composition of the capsule shell and various different functional materials within the shell. Some of these various processes are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,516,846; 3,516,941; 3,778,383; 4,087,376; 4,089,802; 4,100,103 and 4,251,386 and British Patent specification Nos. 1,156,725; 2,041,319 and 2,048,206. A wide variety of different materials may also be used in making the capsule shells. A popular material for shell formation is the polymerization reaction product between urea and formaldehyde or melamine and formaldehyde, or the polycondensation products of monomeric or low molecular weight polymers of dimethylolurea or methylolated urea with aldehydes. A variety of capsule forming materials are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,516,846 and 4,087,376 and U.K. Patent Specification Nos. 2,006,709 and 2,062,570.
As shown in these references, the principal utility of microencapsulated materials is in the formation of a surface coated with the microcapsules in a binder. The microcapsules are ruptured by various means to release the material contained therein. In addition to release of physically observable materials such as ink in order to form a visible image, other types of active ingredients such as odor releasing materials, bacteriostatic materials, chemically active materials and the like have been provided in this manner.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,186,743 describes the use of microcapsules on a pressure sensitive adhesive between two surfaces on a sanitary napkin. When a cover layer is removed, capsules are broken and the fragrance is released.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,487,801 describes the use of a non-pressure sensitive adhesive layer between two surfaces, the layer having fragrance containing microcapsules therein. Upon separation of the two surfaces, the adhesive and the microcapsules are ruptured, releasing the fragrance. U.S. Pat. No. 4,720,417 shows a similar article in which the two surfaces are coated paper surfaces.
A fragrance sampler is provided with at least one removable strip bearing samples thereon. The sampler comprises two sheets with an opening between them. Within the opening is a strip which is severably adhesively secured to at least one inner surface of at least one of said sheets. At least a portion of the adhesive (but not necessarily all of the adhesive) contains rupturable microcapsules which contain fragrant materials to be sampled. Pulling the strip from between the sheets ruptures the adhesive and some of the capsules therein by shearing forces. The strip is removed from the sheets, exposing the fragrance released, and allowing further fragrance release by breaking capsules remaining unbroken on the strip after removal.
The FIGURE shows a perspective of a fragrance sampler of the present invention.
The FIGURE shows a fragrance sampling device 2 which has a top sheet 4 and a bottom sheet 6 which sandwiches a sampling strip 12. The sampling strip 12 resides between the two sheets 4 and 6 and is shown to be adhered to at least one sheet by a patch of adhesive 14 which contains fragrance-bearing microcapsules (not shown). A portion 8 of the sampling strip 12 is exposed to allow a user to grasp that portion 8 and remove the strip 12 from between the two sheets 4 and 6. The force of pulling said strip 12 from the sampling device 2 ruptures the adhesive patch 14 and releases fragrance in the microcapsules (not shown) by contemporaneous rupturing of the capsules. A cut 10 may be provided in one or more of the sheets 4 and 6 to expose a portion 8 of said sampling strip 12. Perforations (not shown) may alternatively be provided in one or both of said sheets 4 and 6 to allow removal of said sampling strip 12.
The present invention relates to a fragrance sampling device in which the fragrance is carried at least in part on a removable strip. The removable strip is carried between two opposed surfaces which may be two separate sheets secured at their opposed edges or opposed faces of a folded single sheet temporarily secured by means of an adhesive coating on edges of each of the opposing faces of the sheets and a second adhesive layer having microcapsules dispersed therein. Generally flexible sheets of paper or premium papers are preferred, but sasheen, non-woven, woven or knit fabric (e.g., silk, cotton, or nylon) or paper, and polymeric film, natural or synthetic fiber, or cardboard may be used. Coated paper is preferred and is a conventional and standard item in commerce. It is generally a fibrous sheet having a pigment-bearing resinous coating on one or both surfaces. Usually the pigment provides a white, bone or ivory coloration to the sheet. Most generally pigments producing a white coloration are used. The binder used in the resinous coating is generally colorless and/or transparent. The binder is generally a synthetic or natural organic polymeric material. Typical pigments for producing white coated paper are fine white pigment such as clay, calcium carbonate, titania, silica, zinc oxide, etc. Typical binders include latices (e.g., styrene-butadiene, butadiene-acrylonitrile, etc.), film-forming polymers (e.g., polymethylmethacrylate), and natural resins (e.g., casein, ammonium caseinate, starch, etc.). The coatings usually comprise between 65-90% by weight of pigment, preferably 70-80% by weight of pigment, and 10-35% by weight of binder, preferably 20-30% by weight of binder. Papers having both sides coated are preferred in the advertising trade.
The properties of such paper coatings as are commonly encountered in commerce vary widely from one manufacturer to another and even from lot to lot. This has made it necessary to adjust the composition, coating weight, and coating conditions for each individual production run in order to obtain the best balance of peel force and capsule rupture in the products of the prior art. We have found in copending U.S. Ser. No. 211,870 filed June 27, 1988, that a base coating applied to the paper stock prior to the application of the capsule containing layer may greater reduce the variability previously encountered. The base coatings are believed to function, in part, by controlling the rate and degree to which the carrier liquid for the capsule containing layer penetrates the underlying paper. This in turn influences the effective amount and distribution of binder in the dried capsule containing layer and the resulting mechanical properties of the layer. It is preferably desirable to select the polymer employed to form the base coat layers from materials which will act as an adhesive for the capsules when wet by the carrier liquid used to apply the capsule containing layer.
In the event that the polymer of the base coat layers is not soluble in or softened by the carrier liquid for capsules, it is desirable to include a separate binder in the capsule containing layer. This binder may be employed at lower levels than those of the prior art capsule coating systems.
The adhesive material for the capsules must form a bond to the coated surfaces of the sheets which is stronger than the cohesive strength of the adhesive with the capsules dispersed therein. Although it is generally desirable to have an adhesive, the absolute cohesive strength of which is less than its adhesive strength to the surface of the paper cover sheets, this is not essential. When capsules are included within the adhesive composition, the effective cohesive strength of the adhesive tends to be reduced. Adhesives, which by themselves would cause the sheets to be damaged during separation, can be used in combination with capsules in the practice of the present invention because of lowered effective cohesive strength. The capsules in the present invention may comprise any rupturable capsule containing an active ingredient therein. The active ingredient may be a fragrance, medicinal liquid, one part of a two part reactive system, test indicator, repellent, or the like. The tensile rupture strength of the capsules must be such that the cohesive failure of the adhesive results in at least capsule breakage. It has also been found that the size of the capsules plays a role in the usefulness of capsules within rupturable sheets according to the practice of the present invention. Generally the capsules should have an average diameter between 6 and 500 microns and preferably between 12 and 30 microns when the capsule payload is between 80 and 90% by weight of the total capsule weight. It is highly preferred that the capsules have an average diameter between 14 and 60 microns and it is most preferred that the capsules have a diameter between 15 and 25 microns. These dimensions play a surprisingly important role in the ability to control the percentage of rupture of capsules in the practice of the present invention. With lower payloads (e.g., 70-80%), the capsules should be larger to provide the necessary rupture strength. The broadest range of average capsule size under most conditions would be about 4 to 200 microns. When 8 micron capsules are used, a 90-95% by weight payload is preferred. Eight to thirty micron capsules are generally preferred.
The capsules should form between 20 and 99 percent by volume of the total adhesive composition, and preferably between 90 and 98 percent of the total composition volume. If certain microcapsule shell materials are used, such as gelatin, the capsule may comprise as much as 100% of the adhesive compositions. The absolute peel force tends to be dependent on the weight of the base coat and relatively independent of the amount of capsules (up to 50% by weight of capsules per unit area).
The two opposed surfaces may be the same or different. There may be a first adhesive in said base coating composition and a said second adhesive may be present in the capsule composition, said second adhesive also may be the same or different material from said first adhesive. Both adhesives may be swellable, softenable, or soluble in the solvent of the adhesive composition. The solvent or carrier liquid also must not quickly dissolve the microcapsules (e.g., in less than one hour). The first adhesive dries to some extent before the capsule coating composition is applied and may be intentionally air dried or oven dried before the adhesive composition is applied.
The solvent may be water or organic solvents or mixtures thereof. The organic solvents may be polar or non-polar, depending upon the solvation requirements of the binders.
The bonding of the surfaces may be effected in a number of alternative fashions. The base coatings on both opposed faces of the sheets may be the sole adhesive coating compositions. This can be done by applying the microcapsule slurry composition between the opposed faces either (1) before complete drying of the base coat so that it can act as an adhesive without further solvent activation (some thermal activation may be desirable), or (2) after drying but with the microcapsule slurry coating composition containing a liquid carrier medium which is an activating solvent for the adhesive in the base coat, or (3) after drying but with the microcapsule slurry coating composition containing sufficient amounts of an adhesive which can bond the two adhesive (polymer) coated opposed faces together. The binder or adhesive should not be a pressure-sensitive adhesive as these tend to perform extremely inefficiently and poorly.
The areas of bonding between the opposed faces can be made discontinuous in a very easy procedural modification. By printing the base coat adhesive composition in a discontinuous manner and not using any significant amount of adhesive (e.g., a polymeric thickener may be used to increase the viscosity of the microcapsule slurry) in the microcapsule slurry coating composition, the opposed faces will be adhered only in those areas where the base coat adhesive has been printed. The slurry carrying medium is usually a solvent for the base coat adhesive in this embodiment. The microcapsules will lightly adhere to the faces of the sheet, but will not rupture upon separation of the opposed faces. This will allow for reuse of the fragrance; i.e., additional microcapsules can be ruptured by scratching after the sheets have been separated.
The binders may be water-soluble, aqueous-swellable, or organic solvent soluble. Preferred binders are at least water-softenable binders such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone, gelatin, polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, or may be organic solvent soluble polymers such as polyvinyl ethers, polyacrylates, polyamides, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polylyrene, and mixtures, blends, or copolymers of these types of materials.
It is particularly desirable in the present invention to use an amount of binder in the capsule layer coating composition which is too small to form an adhesive bridge between the two surfaces by itself. This would require the use of binders which are present at less than 10% by weight of the capsule weight, preferably less than 7% and most preferably less than5% and greater than 0.2%. Larger concentration of binder (e.g., 80%) can be used, but the preferred practice is as just described.
The microcapsule-bearing adhesive is coated onto the strip or onto a face of an interior surface of a sheet. The adhesive may be the sole bonding material between the strip and the sheets. It is also possible to precoat part or all of the strip with the fragrance-bearing microcapsule filled adhesive and use a separate adhesive to bond the strip into the space between the sheets. The separate (non-microcapsule-bearing) adhesive may overlap the microcapsule filled adhesive in part or completely or over a greater area. Some of the capsules will rupture when a second adhesive is used, the amount of the breakage depending upon such factors as interpenetration of the adhesives and solvents, relative rupture strength of the two adhesives, relative bond strength between the adhesives (as compared to bond strengths to the strip and the sheet), and the area covered by the adhesives and the thickness of the adhesives.
There may be one or more such strips between each pair of sheets. The vapor permeability of the sheets may be chosen to assist in preventing prematurely ruptured capsules (e.g., broken by physical handling or other external processing, packaging or transporting) from releasing the fragrance to the air. By providing sheets with permeabilities of less than 4.0 g vapor/m2 per minute at 1.1 atmospheres, preferably less than 1.0 g/m2, substantial reduction in objectionable and spurious fragrance release can be provided.
The present invention provides sampling devices for liquids having
(1) two opposed faces of two sheets forming an enclosed area,
(2) a strip within said enclosed area,
(3) said strip having on at least one face thereof an adhesive bearing microcapsules, said microcapsules containing a liquid therein,
(4) said strip being adhesively secured to at least one of said two opposed faces.
It is preferred that said microcapsules have an average diameter between 4 and 500 micrometers, the cohesive strength of the adhesive composition layer being less than the strength of the bond between said adhesive composition and a coated face of said sheets, the tensile rupture strength of said microcapsules being less than the cohesive strength of the adhesive composition, and the rupture force of said microcapsule containing adhesive composition layer at 50% relative humidity being between at least 0.5 ounces per linear five-and-one-half inches and less than 10 ounces per linear five-and-one-half inches (greater than 1.0 g/cm and less than 20 g/cm). It is preferred that the rupture strength between the sheets exceeds 2.0 g/cm and is less than 16 g/cm and most preferably exceeds 2.5 g/cm and is less than 10 g/cm. The minimum strength at this ambient condition (i.e., 23� C. and 50% R.H.) is necessary to keep the sheets from falling apart from forces incurred during handling. This problem has frequently occurred in magazine inserts where coated paper has been used. The maximum limit on the rupture strength is necessary to keep the paper from tearing (termed fiber pull or fiber rupture) before the adhesive and capsules rupture. This would prevent release of the liquid from the capsules. These peel forces are described in terms of the peel forces measured by pulling the top sheet (the strip) when it is folded back away from the base sheet so that a 180� peel force is measured. In actual use, the adhesive is ruptured by shear forces provided from pulling the sampler strip. The peel force is a conventionally measured property and has been found in the practice of the present invention to be related to the shear force so that measurement of the peel force accurately preducts the shear forces. The shear forces used in the present invention tend to require one-fourth the peel forces needed in pull-apart sheets like those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,487,801 and 4,720,417. The present construction also helps prevent premature separation since the strip is sandwiched between two protective sheets.
It is also desirable to have the construction resist the effects of variable ambient conditions. Certain products presently used on uncoated paper stock work in ambient conditions but fail in transit or on storage as the temperature and humidity change. Given the fact that some of these compositions fail at even standard conditions (23� C. and 50% R.H.), they tend to fail more readily at more extreme conditions such as 26.5� C. and 80% R.H. or in dry conditions. For example, some binders or capsules are dehydrated by storage in heated warehouses during the winter and become so fragile that simple handling will rupture them. Complaints have been made by purchasers of magazines that all of the various odors in inserts are being released prior to usage of the magazine. The entire magazine tends to have a strong composite odor of many scents rather than being able to provide distinct samples of individual scents. It is therefore desirable that rupture strength exceed 0.5 g/cm after storage at 49� C. and less than 10% R.H. for seventy-two hours. This test may be performed by storage in an oven, removal to a neutral environment (e.g., sealed bag or jar) until the article is at room temperature, and then measuring the rupture strength. It is preferred that the rupture strength is at least 1.0 to 2.0 g/cm and most preferred that the rupture strength is at least 2.5 g/cm under those conditions. The article must still display a rupture strength between 0.5 and 20 g/cm at 23� C. and 50% R.H.
A number of methods have been found which enable these conditions to be met. The use of viscosity increasing agents in the capsule containing coating composition provides a more even coating and one that ruptures before fiber pull begins. The use of additional coatings over the coated paper which contain polymers different from the binder of the adhesive layer and which do not form a solution or chemically bond to the binder of the adhesive layer provides a useful article according to the present invention. The use of larger size capsules tends to weaken the cohesive strength of the adhesive composite and prevent fiber pull. The use of capsules which are not moisture sensitive in combination with these large capsules (i.e., greater than 30 microns and up to 500 microns) provides a useful adhesive layer. Higher capsule-to-binder ratios reduce the cohesive strength of the adhesive, as may the addition of non-viscosity enhancing particulate fillers. The viscosity increasing agents described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,720,417 have been found to be useful in the coatings of this invention.
The inorganic particles tend to be preferred. The viscosity enhancers have been found to be necessary in dry weight proportions of the adhesive mix in amounts of from 0.25 to 12% by weight, preferably from 5 to 12% by weight. In general, the weight proportions of materials in the dried adhesive layer according to the present invention are generally as follows:
Microcapsules: 80%-100%
Adhesive: 20%-0%
Viscosity Enhancers: 0.0-10%
The slurry composition may vary from 98% capsules and 2% non-capsule solids to 10% capsules and 90% non-capsule solids with 0-50% binder present in the non-capsule solids. A typical formulation would be 10-50% capsules, 0.1 to 2% viscofier and 48-89.9% water.
The ability to use coated paper in the manufacture of these articles is important because that material is the standard printing medium of the trade. Those papers enable the highest quality printings to be made in combination with the releasable materials of the present invention.
The nature and composition of the adhesive binder is not critical to the practice of the invention as long as the required functional, adhesive and cohesive properties are met. The adhesive may be pressure sensitive, water or solvent borne or thermally activatable. A single layer of a non-pressure-sensitive adhesive is preferred. There is no need for rejoining the sheets after rupturing of the capsules and so the pressure sensitive function is not necessary.
The base coat layer and the adhesive (with microcapsules) may be applied between two separate sheets in either a continuous or discontinuous patterns. It is usually desirable to leave at least some portion of at least one outer edge of the sheets unbonded so as to provide an area where separation and removal of the strip can be easily started. A single sheet may be folded so as to form two facing sheets joined along one edge. The adhesive may be applied on the interior area adjacent to the fold.
It is preferred that the capsule-bearing adhesive coated portion of the strip constitute from 5 to 100% of the surface area of the sheets. In preferred constructions, 10 to 95 percent adhesive coverage is used, the 95% limit providing a gripping area free of the liquid.
Any class of adhesives, including but not limited to polyurethanes, polyacrylates, polyvinyl resins (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl chloride), polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins, starches, gum arabic, gelatin and the like may be readily used in the practice of the present invention. These materials may be applied from either water or organic solvents depending on the solubility of the individual materials. Washing of the capsules before coating them over the base coat adhesive tends to provide more consistency in their properties by removing low molecular weight, unreacted materials.
In effect, to best practice the present invention it is desirable that certain properties within the article have relative values for each of the materials used. The cohesive strength of the sheet material should exceed the adhesive shear strength between the base coat binder, the sheet, and the strip. The adhesive strength of the base coat binder to the sheet should exceed the cohesive strength of the binder. The cohesive strength of the base coat layer and any binder present in the capsule layer should exceed the tensile rupture limits of the capsules.
As previously noted, the size of the capsules has an important effect upon the practice of the present invention. With capsules less than 8 microns, there tends to be less rupturing of the capsules so as to prevent the useful and efficient release of materials. Above 100 microns, the particles are so large that additional care is necessary in handling of the sheets and manufacturing procedures. Furthermore, with the large size particles it is extremely difficult to control bursting upon separation of the sheets because of increased effects upon adhesive and cohesive properties of materials in contact with the capsules. The preferred ranges of 8 to 70 and 25 to 60 microns is important to the practice of the present invention. Within these limits, rupture in excess of 50 percent of the capsules can be easily obtained. Rupture in excess of 80 percent of the capsules in contact with the base coat can often be accomplished in the practice of the present invention within those limits.
The capsules may contain a wide variety of active materials therein. The least useful of materials to be included therein would be coloring agents since separation of the sheets would generally produce uniform coloration rather than a distinct image. The most preferred types of ingredients would be fragrant materials (such as essences and perfumes) or materials which provide chemically active vapors or liquids (e.g., bacteriostats or deodorants) to be wiped on or transferred to another surface. These may or may not also be colored. For example, a testing kit for the presence of chemical vapors could be produced by providing material within the capsules which would react with the vapor phase material for which a leak is being investigated. By removing the sampler strip, rupturing the capsules and exposing the vapor test material, a color forming reaction with the air or on the sheet could be readily observable. The sides of the sheets with the capsule-bearing adhesive thereon are preferably printed under the adhesive or adjacent the adhesive.
These and other aspects of the present invention will be shown in the following examples.
An oil having the aroma of roses was encapsulated in a urea-formaldehyde resin made according to the process of Example 20 of U.S. Pat. No. 3,516,941. The capsules had an average diameter of about 25 micrometers and an estimated payload of 85% by weight (ratio of oil to total capsule weight).
The following coating formulations were then prepared.

A term used among women to describe when a man (or woman) they have been seeing for a while stops taking their calls and answering their texts. These actions are usually preceded by many a broken promise to "hang out" "have a drink or two" or "catch up" on the part of the Ghoster. The Ghostee is left wondering whether the person that was just inside of them two weeks ago is now alive or dead. Neither can be definitively proven.
I had been sleeping with Todd for about a year and a half before he Ghosted me. Even a "Fuck You" would have been better.

Below is the poem entitled so foul a soul which was written by poet

IS THIS you my dearest soul,
Is this you my beloved soul now so foul?
I have hard to live with the world
But the world for me's so wild-
If I had a place to stand in the universe
I would shift the world using a lever-
To a place where it would suit me better;
But such a thing I am incapable of
My soul so I let cry tears
Of my own foolish follies,
Tears of my own misjudgments,
The world let it flog me to normalcy,
I acquiesce to every thing-
Should I be out of danger, good for me-
Should I die, that is my destiny.

Man accused of DWI, exposing self
HUDSON - A Hudson man who was arrested Saturday for driving while intoxicated after crashing his vehicle later exposed himself to police officials, police said. According to police, Nathan Lounsbury, 19, lost control of his Chrysler PT Cruiser on Musquash Road near Stable Road around 7:33 p.m. Saturday and crashed into a utility pole. Lounsbury was treated on the scene and given a field sobriety test. Officer Adam Lischinsky then arrested Lounsbury and took him to the Police Department for booking, police said. A search of the vehicle also turned up an alcoholic beverage and apparent marijuana and other drug paraphernalia, police said. Lounsbury was originally charged with DWI and possession of a controlled drug, both misdemeanors, and unlawful possession of alcohol and speed, both violations. According to police, while Lounsbury was being monitored in a cell, he then exposed his genitalia in an "alarming manner" to department members. He additionally was charged with indecent exposure and lewdness, a misdemeanor. Lounsbury was being held on $1,500 cash bail at the Hillsborough County Department of Corrections pending arraignment today at Nashua District Court.
