This is a division of application Ser. No. 612,475 filed May 21, 1984, U.S. Pat. No 4,567,073, which is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 394,534, filed July 2, 1982, now abandoned.
This invention concerns low surface energy liners having protective, release, or lubricating function, e.g., low-adhesion backsize coatings that permit pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes to be wound upon themselves for storage and later unwound to be put to use.
Pressure-sensitive adhesive tape which is wound upon itself in roll form has a low-adhesion backsize coating to permit the tape to be unwound without delaminating. If the tape is not wound upon itself, its adhesive is customarily protected by a disposable web which likewise has a low-adhesion coating. Any such low-adhesion coating must both adhere strongly to its underlying substrate and be sufficiently cohesive not to contaminate the adhesive, i.e., not to interfere unduly with its adhesiveness. Low-adhesion backsize coatings are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,318,852, 3,536,749, 4,057,596 and 4,216,252.
Certain pressure-sensitive adhesives are so aggressively tacky that tapes require undesirably high peel forces to be removed from known low-adhesion backsize coatings, especially after prolonged storage. Such tapes may carry away and thus be contaminated by appreciable amounts of the low-adhesion material. It is believed that no release coating of the prior art is fully effective for use with aggressively tacky poly(dimethylsiloxane) pressure-sensitive adhesives.
The need for improved low-adhesion coatings is especially acute for pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes having porous backing such as breathable medical tapes. When such tapes are wound upon themselves into roll form, the pressure-sensitive adhesive may gradually flow into the pores of the backing and thus create a mechanical bond that may cause the adhesive layer to split upon unwinding unless the low-adhesion backsize coating is exceedingly effective. For some such tapes, it has been necessary to employ a nonporous, disposable, low-adhesion web, the cost of which could have been avoided if a better low-adhesion backsize coating were available.
Pressure-sensitive adhesive transfer tapes which are marketed in roll form usually have a carrier web having low-adhesion coatings on both surfaces, one of which provides a lower unwinding force so that the adhesive layer remains on the carrier web during unwinding. If the pressure-sensitive adhesive is highly aggressive, the low-adhesion coating which is to provide the higher unwinding force must accomplish the aforementioned objectives, and the low-adhesion coating which is to provide the lower unwinding force must be even more effective.
Coatings comparable to low-adhesion backsize coatings have other uses, e.g., nonstick coatings for cooking utensils, ice-releasing coatings for aircraft, and lubricative coatings for magnetic recording media. Such low-adhesion coatings are sometimes called "release coatings", a term which also encompasses release agents for molds, which may be effective only by failing cohesively. Lubricants usually function by cohesive failure. To distinguish release coatings which are designed to fail cohesively from those which are designed to resist cohesive failure, the latter are here called "liners" and more specifically, "low-energy liners" because low energy is important to their effectiveness.
The present invention provides a low surface energy liner which is effective as a low-adhesion coating for use with the most aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesives without unduly diminishing their adhesiveness.
Briefly, the present invention comprises a substrate having a composite liner provided by
an inner layer of insoluble polymer made from polymerizable film-forming monomer having a polymerizable functionality greater than 1, and
an outer layer of insoluble polymer made from a polymerizable film-forming monomer copolymerizable with the monomer of said inner layer and having a perfluoropolyether segment which is a plurality of polyalkylene oxide, --Ca F2a O--, repeating units, where subscript a in each such unit is independently an integer from 1 to 4, which segment preferably has a number average molecular weight of 500 to 20,000.
Said monomers are in-situ polymerized, apparently the contiguous monomers of the 2 layers copolymerizing, thus bonding the perfluoropolyether segments to the substrate through the inner layer.
By polymerizing both layers in their contiguous relationship, the perfluoropolyether segments have significantly greater adherence to the substrate than they would have had the perfluoropolyether monomer been applied directly to the substrate and then polymerized in situ. By virtue of that greater adhesion, the low surface energy liner not only better resists transfer if used as a low-adhesion coating for a pressure-sensitive adhesive, but it becomes highly resistant to removal when subjected to abrasion. Even though the total thickness of the composite may be ultra-thin, the adhered perfluoropolyether provides a barrier or liner which prevents the most aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesives from becoming appreciably bonded to the underlying substrate, even after prolonged storage.
The composite low surface energy liner of the invention may be applied to a substrate by the steps of
(a) coating onto the substrate a first dilute solution of said inner layer monomer to provide an inner coating of monomer,
(b) coating over the coating of step (a) a second dilute solution of said perfluoropolyether monomer thus providing an outer coating,
(c) drying the coatings (to remove solvent) and polymerizing said monomers (which are preferably addition polymerizable), thus bonding the perfluoropolyether segments to the substrate through the inner layer.
When the perfluoropolyether monomer has polymerizable groups containing ethylenic unsaturation such as acryloyl and the monomer of the inner coating has ethylenic unsaturation, polymerization can be effected by ultraviolet radiation, preferably in an inert atmosphere. Preferably there is a photoactive agent in the inner coating, and generally one is necessary in both coatings when the perfluoropolyether monomer has polymerizable groups other than acryloyl. Usually the whole process can be carried out in-line, but some difficulty has been encountered in obtaining a sufficiently inert atmosphere when the outer coating has a thickness greater than 200 nm.
When the perfluoropolyether monomer has hydrolyzable silane, epoxy, or isocyanate polymerizable groups, thermal polymerization can be employed by exposing the coated substrate to thermal radiation in the presence of a polymerization catalyst. When the polymerizable groups are epoxy, ultraviolet radiation may be employed in air in the presence of an aromatic onium salt polymerization catalyst such as diphenyliodonium hexafluoroantimonate or triphenylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate, incorporated into the coating solution.
The polymers of the inner and outer layers are insoluble, that is, crosslinked, the polymer of the inner layer being insoluble at 20� C. in common organic solvents, e.g. methyl ethyl ketone, and the polymer of the outer being insoluble at 20� C. in 1,1,2-trichloro-2,2,1-trifluoroethane ("Freon" 113).
The thickness of the low surface energy liner is conveniently controlled by the proportion of solvent in the two dilute solutions. Coating techniques useful for in-line processing include brushing, wire or knife coating, spraying, curtain coating and gravure coating. Curtain coating permits essentially simultaneous application of both solutions. If the coating technique used for applying the second solution involves mechanical contact of the inner layer coating, e.g., gravure coating, the inner layer coating preferably is first dried or partially polymerized to develop some abrasion resistance before applying the second solution, and the solvent of the second solution should not be a solvent for the material deposited from the first solution.
The thickness of the inner layer may range from about 10 nm to 0.5 mm. Toward the higher end of that range, the composite low surface energy liner may have better resistance to abrasion, but for some uses it is preferred that the low surface energy liners be as thin as possible, e.g., when used as protective lubricating coatings for magnetic recording media, it being desirable to minimize the spacing between the heads and the magnetizable material of the recording media. Generally the outer layer should be thin, e.g., less than 500 nm, preferably less than 100 nm, because the polyfluoropolyether monomer is exceedingly expensive, and it may be as thin as 5 or 10 nm. On the other hand, the outer layer can be thicker than 500 nm for some uses.
Suitable substrates to which the coating or low surface energy liner can be applied include, for example, paper, glass, steel, aluminum, plastics such as polyester, polyvinyl chloride, non-woven fabrics and the like. For those applications in which the release coated article is to be a pressure-sensitive tape or sheet, it is desirable that the substrate be flexible.
The low surface energy liners of the invention are useful in a variety of other applications such as nonstick coatings for cooking utensils, ice-releasing coatings for aircraft, and lubricative coatings for magnetic recording media.
Suitable perfluoropolyether monomers for making the low surface energy liner of the invention have the formula
Q--Ca F2a O--k Ca F2a --Z (A)
wherein Q comprises a polymerizable group attached to a chain of randomly distributed perfluoroalkylene oxide, --Ca F2a O--, repeating units, in each of which a is independently an integer of 1 to 4, k is the number of such repeating units and it has a value from 1 to 300 such that the segment preferably has a number average molecular weight of 500 to 20,000, and Z is 13 OCa F2a+1 or Q. If Z is not Q, it preferably is --OCF3, --OCF2 CF3, or --OCF(CF3)CF3. Typically the perfluoroalkylene oxide units will be --CF2 O--, --C2 F4 O--, and/or --C3 F6 O--.
It is preferred that the perfluoropolyether monomers have functionalities within the range of 1.5 to 2.0 in order to provide covalent bonding at both ends of most of the segments.
Preferred perfluoropolyether monomers are the ethylenically-unsaturated monomers disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,810,874 (Mitsch et al.) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,321,404 (Williams et al.) wherein Q of the above Formula A is selected from ##STR1## where R is hydrogen or methyl.
These preferred ethylenically-unsaturated perfluoropolyether monomers which have the formula
Q--CF2 O(CF2 CF2 O)m (CF2 O)n CF2 --Q (B)
wherein Q is as defined above and m and n designate the number of randomly distributed perfluoroethyleneoxy and perfluoromethyleneoxy backbone repeating units, respectively, n and m having independently values, for example from 1 to 200, and the ratio m/n is 0.2/1 to 5/1.
Examples of polymerizable perfluoropolyether monomers of Formula A useful for making the low surface energy liner of the invention are those of the following where here again, as elsewhere, the perfluoroalkylene oxide units are randomly distributed, the given numbers of which are average values. ##STR2##
Further description of such monomers, and their preparation, will be omitted in the interest of brevity, the disclosure of said U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,810,874 and 4,321,404 being incorporated herein for such purposes.
In making a low surface energy liner of the invention, one or more other types of copolymerizable monomers with the perfluoropolyether monomer may be dissolved into the solution in amounts providing up to about 20% by weight of the low-energy liner. However, the liner is most effective if the amount of the perfluoropolyether monomer is such that at least 75% of the liner's weight is provided by perfluoropolyether segments. When the perfluoropolyether monomer has polymerizable groups which are ethylenically unsaturated, useful copolymerizable monomers include acrylic and methacrylic esters, amides, and urethanes, and vinyl ethers, epoxides, and heterocycles.
When Q of Formulae A or B is a 1,2-epoxy group, useful copolymerizable monomers include 1,2-epoxy-substituted esters, ethers, siloxanes, and nitriles such as listed in columns 3 and 4 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,219,377.
When Q of Formulae A or B is a hydrolyzable silane group, useful copolymerizable monomers include silanes which may be linear or cyclic and may have alkoxy, halo, cyano, aceto, methacryloxy, lower alkenyl, or phenyl substituents.
When Q of Formulae A or B is an isocyanato group, useful copolymerizable monomers include isocyanates, polyols, and polyamines.
Suitable monomers for use in making the inner layer of the composite, low surface energy liners of the invention are one or more of any film-forming polymerizable monomers containing at least two polymerizable groups (preferably those having ethylenic unsaturation) at least one of which is copolymerizable with that of the monomer used to make the outer layer. Examples of such inner layer monomers are the acrylate and methacrylate esters of alkanepolyols such as 1,6-hexamethylene diacrylate (here called "Inner Layer Monomer A"), pentaerythritol triacrylate (here called "Inner Layer Monomer B"), pentaerythritol tetracrylate (here called "Inner Layer Monomer C"), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (here called "Inner Layer Monomer D"), and dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate (here called "Inner Layer Monomer E"); 1,3,5-tris(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)-s-triazine (here called "Inner Layer Monomer F"); polyesterpolyol acrylate and methacrylates such as ##STR3## other polyester acrylates and methacrylates as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,050,936, the heterocyclic polyol acrylates and methacrylates such as ##STR4## (here called "Inner Layer Monomer G"), 1,3-bis[3-(2-acryloyloxyethoxy)-2-hydropropyl]-5,5-dimethyl-2,4-imidazolidinedione (here called "Inner Layer H"), glycidyl methacrylate, isocyanatoethylmethacrylate, those monomers described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,306,954, and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane; tris(2-methoxyethoxy)vinylsilane; 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexanecarboxylate; and diallyl phthalate.
A methyl ethyl ketone solution containing 4.75 parts of a 20/80 mixture of pentaerythritol tetracrylate and Inner Layer Monomer G and 0.25 part 2,4-bis(trichloromethyl)-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-s-triazine was coated onto 0.074 mm poly(ethyleneterephthalate) film using a wire-wound rod. After allowing the solvent to evaporate to give a calculated dry thickness of 0.35 micrometer, this coating was partially cured by one pass through an ultraviolet processor (PPG Industries, model No. QC 1202 AN 3I) at 61 m/min under an air atmosphere using two medium-pressure mercury lamps at 40 w/cm each. The coating was cured to the point that it was not marked by light pressure with a cotton swab. Perfluoropolyether monomer II was coated onto this partially cured coating from a 0.5% solution in 1,1,2-trichloro-2,2,1-trifluoroethane ("Freon" 113) using a wire-wound rod. After allowing the solvent to evaporate to give a calculated dry thickness of 34 nm, this was passed once through the ultraviolet processor at 31 m/min. under a nitrogen atmosphere using two lamps at 80 w/cm each, thus polymerizing the coatings to provide a composite low surface energy liner of the invention.
The above-prepared liner was evaluated by subjecting it to various tests (which were also used in subsequent examples).
In the "Release Peel Force, Type A Test", a poly(dimethylsiloxane) [DC 355 from Dow Corning which comes as a 18.5% solution in "Freon" 113] was coated onto this composite low surface energy liner using a knife coater and allowed to dry for 2 hours to provide an aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a thickness of 0.038 mm. To the adhesive surface was laminated 0.038 mm poly(ethyleneterephthalate) film. After aging the sample at 70� C. (dry heat) for 14 days, the sample was allowed to cool to 22� C. The Release Peel Force required to remove the silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive from the low surface energy liner was measured by peeling off the poly(ethyleneterephthalate) film at an angle of 180� and a peel rate of 2.3 m/min.
In the "Readhesion Peel Force Test", the removed piece of silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive tape was then applied to a clean glass plate and the peel force for its removal measured at a peel rate of 2.3 m/min. and a peel angle of 180�.
In the "Control Peel Force Test", the readhesion value was compared to that obtained from a piece of the silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive tape which had not contacted any surface.
In the "Durability Test", coating durability was determined using a Taber Abraser (from Teledyne Taber, model 503) equipped with CS-O rubber wheels and a 1-kg load. Complete wet-out by the ink from a marking pen (Berol Eagle Marker 8835, black) on the rubbed area was the end point used to indicate substantially complete removal of the coating.
Results from the foregoing tests were:
______________________________________Release Peel Force, Type A 0.6 N/dmReadhesion Peel Force 47 N/dmControl Peel Force 76-79 N/dmDurability 1100-1200 cycles______________________________________
Results for a case identical to Example 1 except that Perfluoropolyether Monomer II was coated directly onto 0.07 mm poly(ethyleneterephthalate) film were:

A number of composite low surface energy liners of the invention were made in the same way as in Example 1 except as indicated in Table A, but in testing, a different type of test was made to determine Release Peel Force. In this test, "Release Peel Force, Type B", a roll of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape was used having an aggressive poly(dimethylsiloxane) pressure-sensitive adhesive (Dow Corning DC 284), 0.025 mm in thickness. Its backing was biaxially-oriented poly(ethyleneterephthalate) film 0.038 mm in thickness and had no backsize coating. The adhesive layer of a piece of the tape was pressed against the low surface energy liner using a smooth plastic bar. After simlulated aging (70� C. for 24 hours) and cooling to 22� C., the underlying film was pressed against a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive carried by a rigid plate, thus rigidifying the low surface energy liner. The test tape was then peeled back at an angle of 180� and at 2.3 m/min., and the peelback force was measured after the peeling had begun.
Readhesion and Control Peel Forces were determined as in Example 1.

Student Guidelines for Peer Review: Intermediate Composition
This is to give you an idea of the type of things you should be looking for and accomplishing in both your own paper and that of your peer(s). Use what follows as a kind of checklist for determining what is working effectively in a paper and what is not.
o Has the writer (either yourself or your classmate) clearly expressed the question (major claim, thesis) that he/she has selected to analyze? What is that question?
o Is there any unnecessary information included in the introduction?
o Having read the entire essay, suggest an alternate way to begin the essay.
o Having read the entire essay, does the introduction fit the paper?
o What are the main points that are being made in each paragraph? Briefly outline the point of each paragraph and sketch the evidence given in support for each.
o How is the evidence linked to the main point of the paragraph? And to the main point of the essay?
o Is there any unnecessary information throughout the body of the paper, such as plot summary, excessive quotation, or unsupported claims?
o Has the writer restated (not simply repeated) the major claim of the paper in light of its discussion throughout the paper? In other words, what should the reader have learned by the end of the argument?
o What is your understanding of the initial question after reading the paper? Has this understanding been adequately expressed? And does it open up the major claim to the question of its implications? (Has this major claim ultimately been placed into a broader perspective or context?)
o Suggest an alternate ending to the argument.
o Suggest an alternate title. Does it express 'in a nutshell' the essay's theme? Has it followed the proper "title: subtitle" format? [Note: This assumes the paper already has a title—thus, every paper must have a title!]
o What confuses you about the draft? (For example, a certain word choice, the topic and/or its presentation, the explanation of something in particular.)
o Does the flow of the essay break down at any point? In other words, does the essay become hard to read or lose its coherence? Where? And how might you fix it?
o Does the essay remain within the chosen text(s)? If there are any generalizations, speculations, clichés, idiomatic expressions, or colloquialisms, underline them so that you can point them out to your peer(s).
o What has the writer done well in his/her essay? Provide positive comments about the strength(s) of the essay.

Fuel and stand characteristics in ponderosa pine infested with mountain pine beetle, Ips spp., and southwestern dwarf mistletoe in Colorado's northern Front Range
Klutsch, Jennifer Gene. 2008. Fuel and stand characteristics in ponderosa pine infested with mountain pine beetle, Ips spp., and southwestern dwarf mistletoe in Colorado's northern Front Range. Fort Collins, CO: Colorado State University. 147 p. Thesis.
The effect of forest disturbances, such as bark beetles and dwarf mistletoes, on fuel dynamics is important for understanding forest dynamics and heterogeneity. Fuel loads and other fuel parameters were assessed in areas of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) infested with southwestern dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium vaginatum subsp. cryptopodum [Engelm.] Hawksworth & Weins), and in areas with endemic populations of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) and Ips spp. in the northern Front Range of Colorado. One hundred fifty plots, each 0.04 ha, were permanently established throughout the summers of 2005 and 2006. The study area was composed of ponderosa pine, with Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco) comprising a large portion of small diameter trees. Adjusted means for coarse fuel loads were greater in areas with relatively high densities (stems/ha or basal area) of mountain pine beetle- and Ips spp.-induced mortality that was greater than about 4 years post-tree death when compared to areas without bark beetle-induced mortality, adjusting for southwestern dwarf mistletoe infestation severity and stand and site characteristics. More recent bark beetleinduced mortality was not associated with differences in fuel loads. Areas with ponderosa pine infested with southwestern dwarf mistletoe were associated with different fuel arrangements and stand characteristics compared to areas with little to no infestation by southwestern dwarf mistletoe. Height to bottom of live crown was greater and percent live crown was less in plots with high severity of southwestern dwarf mistletoe infestation compared to plots without southwestern dwarf mistletoe-infested trees, adjusting for bark beetle-induced mortality. Together these biotic disturbances could have an affect on potential fire hazard by influencing the fuel amounts, fuel arrangements and stand densities.

Recipe by Tiffany
"I had never heard of quinoa until I went to Peru and discovered a delicious, traditional soup. There are a lot of ingredients, but it is worth the work!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 tablespoon
vegetable oil
2/3 cup
carrot, diced
1 stalk
celery, diced
onion, finely chopped
green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cloves
garlic, crushed
2 (15 ounce) cans
chicken broth
3 1/2 cups
2 large
tomatoes, finely chopped
1/4 head
cabbage, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
This was very good and very easy!
I added: mushrooms, lots of chopped fresh basil, a couple bay leaves, a dash of thyme and a can of white beans
I left out: celery (didn't have it) and parsley (since I focused on basil instead)
It turned out beautifully though I still thought it could use a bit more spice. Not sure what though. A jalapeno pepper might do it some good. I have a cold and this really hit the spot as a veggie soup remedy. If you don't want the quinoa to go mushy make sure you cook it just long enough for all the veggies to be tender. You'll see the quinoa is ready when it "pops" open and floats to the surface instead of being grounded on the bottom of the pot.
This was really not the best recipe I've ever made. The flavour of the soup was really nice, and definately an easy and quick meal to make, but I found teh quinoa totally fell apart and turned to mush, rathar than held it's shape, which also lead it to taking up the majority of the volume of the soup. If I was to make this again, I would cook the quinoa separately and add it to bowl fulls of the soup, rathar than a one-pot deal. That way you would keep the nice "pop" than perfectly cooked quinoa has.

I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth to make this recipe vegetarian. I cooked the soup for about an hour longer than the recipe calls for. The quinoa cooked down a lot and it made a nice, thick and creamy broth. I recommend serving this with thick slices of multi-grain bread.
Yummy! I love Quinoa and thought it was a great idea to make it into soup. I decided to use some extra herbs to give it some pep. A dash of cumin A pinch of basil A spot of red pepper flakes A thing of canned tomatoes (juice an all) and some shell noodles. I cooked the Quinoa in the veggie broth tomato/water after cooking the veggies a little. A little after that I added the pasta. I found that the Quinoa kept together this way and the pasta was not over done.
I haven't made this recipe...I just want to know what the big balls of stuff are in the picture???
I thought this soup was great...the cabbage made the soup slightly sweet. I used organic quinoa and I believe it improved the flavor too. I believe, though, this might please long-time vegetarians more. I will take leftover for lunch tomorrow. THis is a meal in itself.
I used a veggie broth and decresed the water and it came out more like a stew. Very easy and pretty delicious. I love quinoa
This was alright. I used about 5 or 6 carrots instead of just the one, and added a few cups of tomato juice with the chopped tomatoes. I used both red and white quinoa, which made this prettier, but the taste was just so so. I think that adding meat would make this better. Not bad by any means, but not amazing.

Kingston students Scott Carthy and Ben Pender ask "How High?"
Can you recall your final hours before the D&AD deadline? Were your sweating, shaking hands clutching a blunt scalpel in a last, desperate attempt to get that binder as perfect as possible? Horrible. Scott Carthy and Ben Pender on the other hand were probably two pints deep at the SU at this point, laughing about their absolute triumph of a film.
The brief asked entrants to develop a creative pitch that would impress their dream employer, so Ben and Scott decided to stage a sky dive to show their courage and commitment. The results? A hairy corker of a witty, short film and a winner of a D&AD Best of Year award. Well done, boys!

Another season goes, another comes. I'm still very much in love with anime but time isn't in much love with me. Mind you, my desire to do anything other than procrastinate when I'm not working hasn't helped much. Regardless, at some point, somehow, I've managed to watch some of the new stuff that's come along this season and I'll share my thoughts, once again, with you, our precious readers. This time, a nice mixture of comedy with Kill Me Baby and Inu x Boku SS as well as sport (and its drama) with Area no Kishi.

Amazing sushi which can't be beat. Def. try the chef's specials which will blow your socks off. Make sure to make a ressie.

Better than Gari in this neighborhood. Overall very fresh, uni exquisitely creamy.
Posted by Robbie on 07/24/2004
This place is superb. Definitely a great value. That being said, reviewer below has no clue what they're talking about. This is not the best sushi in the city. That award may go to Masa, Sushi Yasuda, KurumaZushi, or Megu. Those restaurants may not even be the best in the world, as there are tons of good Sushi places in Japan! So not the best in the world, but certainly very good and an excellent value.

If this is the best sushi in NY and NY has the best of the best it must be the best sushi ever. Seki will hand make your rolls to perfection. Try to Yellowtail Jalepeno.

Simply the best... add in that they're open till 3AM, and you'll understand why they know me at the door....

Best sushi I have had in the area.
Posted by Melissa on 02/20/2004
You could walk right past this gem and not even notice it, but don't you dare pass it up! By far, the best sushi I have ever had and would rival any of the other more infamous establishments. The place is small and intimate but immaculate. The staff is efficient and friendly and will do anything to accommodate their patrons. Just as the other reviewer mentioned, the most coveted spot is in front of Seki himself. A true sushi genius. Ask him to keep it coming and he will create masterpieces before you all the while never losing the friendly smile on his face. My personal favorites being the fried oysters, spicy crunchy tuna rolls, and edamame as an appetizer. Prices are reasonable and compared with what you are getting in return they are dirt cheap! Definitely worth a visit, or two, or three, or...!

Tony Tyler's address to the 1000 delegates from industry and media who gathered in Miami 7-9 June for IATA's 71st AGM
Press Release No.:
Date: 31 January 2006
GENEVA –The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released full-year traffic results for 2005 showing that international passenger traffic grew by 7.6% in 2005 while international freight traffic increased by 3.2%.
"The industry is returning to a more normal growth pattern after the shocks that began in 2001. Passenger traffic is lower than the 15.3% increase recorded in 2004, but above the historical growth of 6%. Air freight, however is disappointingly low as a result of weaker demand from critical sectors such as IT and semi-conductors," said Giovanni Bisignani, IATA's Director General and CEO.
Regionally, only Latin America (11.4%) and the Middle East (13.1%) reported double-digit passenger traffic growth in 2005. Load factors also improved by 0.9% to 75.1% year over year, reflecting the industry's restrained response to the more modest growth rate seen in 2005.
December freight traffic showed signs of emerging from its year-long slump. It rose by 5.5% over the same period last year bolstered by improved demand in key Asian and North American markets. December passenger traffic grew by 6.1%.
Despite this growth, the industry lost US$ 6 billion in 2005. US airlines lost US$10 billion, European carriers made US$1.3 billion and Asian carriers earned US$1.5 billion.
"Growth and profitability are completely different concepts. Freight and passenger traffic are forecast to grow in the 5 to 6% range during 2006 but the industry is projected to record another loss of over US$4 billion for 2006," said Bisignani. "The industry will not see black ink until at least 2007."
"Cost reduction remains critical. All industry partners and stakeholders will have to sustain their focus on fuel efficiency and attack costs. While we have made some good progress, the road ahead is long. Far too many airport monopolies do not understand the need for efficiency and too many governments are shirking their responsibility to regulate where commercial discipline is absent," said Bisignani.
"Governments must also modernise their approach to the industry. Air transport is intensely competitive, but airlines are denied basic commercial freedoms by an outdated bi-lateral system and are micro-managed through mis-regulation. For the industry to turn the corner in 2006, the agenda for change must continue," said Bisignani.

Cute house with a nice vibe. Looks not as special as on the photographs - kudos to the photographer, very good job. But don't get me wrong, the place is pretty cozy. There's a hammock, a local hank drum, a nice garden and a decorated open air bathroom.
Our only complaint was the mattress and the pillows. The mattress is thin and hard, pretty uncomfortable. The pillows are even worse. I wouldn't mention it if it was a $15 accommodation but for this price range the mattress is way too cheap.
Another thing was that the gate is locked either outside with a padlock or from inside with a latch. There was another couple staying on the first floor and never knew if we can lock the door or not.
The location is nice, especially for those who is getting a bike in Ubud anyway as we were. It's right around the corner from the big supermarket Bintang. You have to walk 50m to the house, there's no transport there which make it pretty quiet.
We loved our stay at Angel's Roof House! First off it was right by the big Bintang Supermarket, which was super convenient, it was also a little out of central Ubud so it was not as noisy and it was more relaxing to get out of the madness of around where the market is. The house was beautiful, nice art, nice porch area and a garden as well as bathroom and bedroom. It was also nice to have our own kitchen to make coffee and have breakfast in the mornings. We did not get to meet Tika as she was away on business while we were staying there, but we met Ketut, and she was very nice and helpful. The internet worked better than most places we have stayed at , which was a great relief. I think perhaps our only complaint was the bed, it is very firm, and the pillows were very thin so made for an uncomfortable sleep but a minor fault, everything else made up for it!
I enjoyed my stay so much! Away from all the traffic and hustle and bustle, but just a 15 minutes walk to the city - so relaxing.. I loved the house (inside and outside!) with all the details which makes it so cozy and really easy to feel like home. My room and the outdoor area were definitely much nicer than in a hotel - working hot water and a air condition for hot days made it perfect. I will be back when I return some day to Ubud - thank you Angelica!
My stay at Angel's Roof was fantastic. It's a beautiful villa with a lovely garden and comfortable living spaces. I'm grateful to the host and Ketut the housekeeper for their great care in ensuring my stay was wonderful. I highly recommend staying here!
Angel's roof is a beautiful villa in a really convenient location in peaceful Penestanan. It's a short scooter ride or 20 minute walk into central Ubud.
Wonderful experience. Nice and quiet away from hustle and bustle of Ubud. Yellow Flower Organic cafe is close by and excellent. Also the Bintang supermarket is very close. Handy when you have a kitchen. Letup and Nana were friendly and helpful. Angelika was away but would like to meet her one day. Wi fi and shower is good and reliable. Nice patio. Comfy bed. Clean and homey and beautifully decorated. The Sedona spa is a short walk and has good service and prices. Also a nearby laundry. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
I had a lovely stay at "Angels Roof". Ketut was more than accommodating and always full of smiles. The house was exactly as I expected. Very clean and tidy and I loved being away from the "hustle and bustle" of town centre. Having Bintang Shopping Centre only a minutes walk away was very handy and if I didn't feel like walking into town (about 30 mins walk, although I didn't do this must as I ended up renting a scooter) there were taxi's and locals offering rides galore :) I loved having the rice fields around where stayed. Such lovely walking around the home. The only negative feedback was that downstairs (where I stayed) didn't have a mozzie net, so I had to keep everything shut which got hot at night. The shower was also "hit and miss". Very low pressure and changed from hot to cold for the duration of my showers. Thanks you for a beautiful time. I highly recommend Angels Roof

550ml jar of faith´s last blog post..Sri Nirwana Maju, Bangsar
Fast moved, CK! Just wonder why lots of restaurant didn't serve their signature dish for opening? Is a common miss out, as this the best time to self promote.
anyway…very happy to have chance to try Irish food in Penang, but not anywhere else…haa
gill gill´s last blog post..Fatty Boy Chicken Rice at Restaurant 98 On Burmah Road
This place looks cool. There are more restaurant blooming up in Penang. happy for that as a food lover
Food Promotions´s last blog post..Breakfast At Dome
Just wonder whether all the International restaurants can survive during this current US financial crisis. In Spore, most of the food outlets esp those high-end restaurants are badly affected.
lk´s last blog post..Fried shallots
Tan – The place was previously the Proton Edar showroom. From the Fettes Park traffic light, keep left…it is further down the road.
Food Promotions – Sure has a nice environment…another place for us Penangites to enjoy a meal.
lk – Hopefully not in Penang…or else less places to makan.
definately trying this place out soon!!

wow…is irish cuisine…although in KL also seldom to find…so good in penang…i must consider going bac penang to work alr…
squall´s last blog post..1122???Lunch @ Alexis
Thankyou for the kind words and glad to see the Island approves of Ireland. Took 1 week for me to design and 3 weeks to create and just a shame I couldn't make the opening. Rest assured I will be back to visit my handy work in the new year and maybe I'll have one and then I'll stay!
By the way the food is excellent with a touch of tradition. Regards the INTREPID FLYING KIWI
CK… My list of food to eat definitely grow up by one notch within this post! The ambience looks awesome, if the food price is a little bit cheaper, I guess it is definitely within my range of food hunting LOL… next time you do review, can ask the restaurant ownders to give vouchers or discounts adee hehe
desmond-t´s last blog post..Macao – Part I (The Planning)
CK unfortunately I have been and gone! I have designed pubs in the UK for 10 years before settling back down in New Zealand…Just an opportunist moment to be head hunted to be involved in this project. I have introduced the 100 pint club for those serious Guinness drinkers so maybe you can tell your friends to join up and be part of the culture. Just tell Sting that I invited you and the first drink can be on the house. Will contact you next year when I'm about. Once again thankyou for the great review, much appreciated and look out for the "Tiger" on the loose!
Thanks CK and Teo for the nice dinner. Very unfortunate that their dessert is not yet ready.
Desmond-t – If I ever get it, I will definitely share it with all of you.
Paul Walters – Alright, have noted it down and hope to see you in your next trip to Penang.
Tan – You are most welcome…we are very happy having a wonderful time knowing you and your wife
Dear Anna,
This pub looks posh!
Anyway, do u have any idea why is the restaurant named as such?
According to dictionary,
Usually, shenanigans. a. mischief; prankishness: Halloween shenanigans.
b. deceit; trickery.
2. a mischievous or deceitful trick, practice, etc.
Singapore Short Stories´s last blog post..Singapore Christmas
I passed by there just now but did not go in as I happened to have a nice meal by the beach earlier… hehe.
Criz Lai´s last blog post..REVIEW – SEVEN SISTER CAFE & RESTAURANT
great food and nice ambiance. Is a great place for to bring customers for a mug or 2. Next time I know where to go with my customers
I certainly hope it's similar to my favourite Irish pub, The Finnegans which can be found here in KL. I need my Strongbow cider fix when i'm back in Penang! I wonder if they serve Strongbow there.
Jason Lim´s last blog post..Bangsa Malaysia and Malaysian Unity
I just went there and it sucked. The irish beef stew is nothing irish and they only have tiger, guiness and kilkenny draughts. What a joke! the only thing irsh about this place is the customers returning there. Dumb
Criz Lai – There is always another day…
Steven Goh – For now, it is more of a pub. As for the food, there are mixed comments…overall a nice place for a drink.
Jason Lim – As far as I know, they do not serve the cider but you could still give them a call to confirm.
Tox – Hope your comment will give them an idea on improving on their food selection especially towards the Irish theme as what their name stands for.
I think they should call it Shitnanigans because the service was very poor. I had to wait almost 2 hours for my food to arrive! The way they serve food is very special. They don't finish serving one table before moving to the next as they rotate around. One dish for this table, another dish for that table and so on. I went with a group of friends and almost everyone of us had to watch the person with the food eat and wait curiously for ours to arrive. The beer and Kilkenny were not cold enough. I'm not sure if that's the IRISH way of doing things but I sure don't like it. Price wise its not too expensive and not too cheap but with that price, we can get far better food and far better service for sure!
To be honest, the food there is not good at all. The irish beef stew came in very small portion and the taste is just very normal. Nothing really special. The lamb shank was quite bad as well; they don't serve the dish while it's still hot. The dishes were left on the table left unattended, and reason given was they have not enough waiter. The meat was too chunky and dry. The sauce ain't special and it was too watery. And lastly, the service was bad. I've ordered extra french fries and soup of the day and those were supposed to be served as starters but both starters that i've ordered never came at all even after I have finished my main course. Asked the waiter several times and he said it's coming but in the end, he came and tell that the soup has finished. No one came and inform us that the soup has already finished until after several chases. When we ask for the bill, french fries was charged in the bill when it never came at all. Again, reason given for all the mistakes was they have not enough waiter/waitress.
Not sure what planet of expectations the above sourpusses come from…
Just returned from a meal there with my family. The Guinness Beef Pie was delicious, as was the cottage pie, as was the Pan Fried chicken and the Fisherman's Basket. What's more, the kids meal at $15 was very very good value…
Beer was good (tried all the drafts) didn't find them warm or flat in the slightest…
Service was ok… You've got to understand that the wait staff are new.. You can't expect a tight ship from the get go… give them a month or so to get settled…
But yeah… would thoroughly recommend this place for authentic western food (yes… that means a beef pie that tastes like it should… and chips that taste like they should) and decent draft Guinness and Kilkenny.
Wow..interesting to see an Irish establishment in Penang..cooL!!
However, I always find it unbelievable that Irish pubs abroad esp in SE Asia serves Kilkenny beer. You know, being in Ireland myself for donkey years, I have never seen this brand..Guinness yes but not Kilkenny (which is a town/city in Rep. of Ireland)..strange..maybe this beer is from Northern ireland..ah..who knows?! as long as it's good, shouldn't matter much
Hi CK,
Do you have the contact no of Shenanigan?
We would like to try by tonight…
Will appreaciate if you could reply me…
pls dun try dis restaurants ever,i never eat the food like this.is totaly diffrent what i eat b4.i think they changing chef already.
First impression when I got into this restaurant I thought I was in the Philippines because all the waitresses were Filipinos. I thought I was supposed to be in a Irish Pub/restaurant. Gee, I wonder what ever happened to all our local workers? Penang island seems invaded by Filipinos ans Filipinas, this is not healthy progress.
They should change the name of this irish pub since it's filled with filipino workers. Of course the beef don't taste Irish its cooked by some filipinos I think. I believe the Immigration Dept might be interested to look into this unhealthy activities. Everybodys filipino, waitresses, singers, musicians, cooks, etc etc where's the real Penang local charm gone too?
I totally agree with u filipino Nigan !!I go to tat place at september 7.. When i first arrive there i love the design of the pub… But I heard my friend say d manager is filipino.. But i feel tat d manager doesnt have any experience to manage this lovely n nice environment in shenanigans !! Hope d place will become better when i go next time !!
nathan, Filipino Nigan – It is unavoidable nowadays to have foreign workers in the F & B outlets and it is quite common everywhere.
Even some of the hawker food that you eat is prepared by foreign workers too.
If they do serve tasty and authentic food, then it is ok even when cooked by a foreign worker.
Ynos – Hopefully they will maintain the standard of this pub which has a lovely design in a nice location.
Did you know Shenanigan's has closed, and re-opened under a new name?
Maybe this page should be wiped, and the place should be revisited?
i have tried that place once before it closed down… i went there for christmas set dinner thingy.. the place sucked… the food was not nice.. the soup was super salty, the main course which i ordered was a beef n it was hard as stone.. the staffs were retarded (example: when i asked how the beef will be made, they dont know how to answer me), they work as if like they have no energy… no wonder it closed down…

ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- A father and son have been found guilty of robbing an Asheville bank in December 2011.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that 59-year-old John Edmonds Jr. and 25-year-old James Edmonds were convicted of armed robbery.
The father was sentenced to eight years in prison, while the son received six.
Prosecutors say the elder Edmonds was posing as a customer when his masked son came in, brandished a gun and took more than $5,000. The father ran after his son, pretending to follow the robber, and gave officers incorrect information on where he'd gone and what he was wearing.
Prosecutors say cell phone records showed they were talking before, during and after the robbery.
John Edmonds was convicted in July 2012 of drug trafficking. That sentence will be served concurrently.

Introduction by Keith Jones
In conjunction with her 2014 WPR Creative Fellowship, Fanny Howe will present three films: two previous works reconceived for this screening—What Nobody Saw, in collaboration with John Gianvito, and Brigid of Murroe, featuring a live reading accompanying Howe's footage--and a new film, Be Again, which follows John Manning (Howe's uncle) up and around Killiney Hill, south of Dublin,"a place shaped like Purgatory." After the screening, Howe will discuss her cinematic resuscitation process and invite the audience to contribute suggestions and insights to assist her in editing her film-in-progress.

"The MUSE IN A PSYCHOPATHIC WARD"
Sir Christopher Ricks
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the publication of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in Poetry Magazine (June 2015) and in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of T.S.

Peter Howarth
The rapid growth in live poetry reading after World War Two put many pre-War modernists on stage for the first time. How did they adapt difficult poems to this surprising new audience, neither mass nor coterie? Could the change from print toperformance become a creative opportunity, not just a confirmation of past glories? Using the Poetry Room's collection of historic live recordings, Peter Howarth (Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary, University of London) will explore how well readings by T. S. Eliot, E. E. Cummings, and Marianne Moore re-animated their own work for a younger generation.
Woodberry Poetry Room, Lamont Library, Room 330
Free and open to the public.

THE VISION OF ALLAH THE EXALTED IN THE WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER by GF Haddad
The latter explanation is echoed in al-Qari's several commentaries of the similar hadith whereby the Prophet — Allah bless and greet him — said: "My Lord came to me in the best form – the narrator said: I think he said: `in my sleep' – and asked me over what did the Higher Assembly (al-mala' al-a`la)13 vie, and I said I did not know, so He put His hand between my shoulders, and I felt its coolness in my innermost, and knowledge of all things between the East and the West came to me."14
Al-Mubarakfuri relates from Ibn Kathir and al-Haytami the position that the above vision took place in the Prophet's sleep — Allah bless and greet him. This is also the position of Ibn al-Jawzi based on what he termed the best chains of this hadith.15 Al-Haytami points out that the words "I woke up and saw my Lord" in Ahmad's narration from Mu`adh are actually changed from "I dozed off and saw my Lord" due to a copyist's corruption of "I dozed off" (istathqaltu) – in al-Tirmidhi's narration from Mu`adh – into "I woke up" (istayqaztu).16 On the whole, the scholars' interpretations of the Prophet's vision — Allah bless and greet him — show that whether it took place in his dream or in a wakeful state, "with the eyes of the heart" or "with the eyes of the head," does not change the fact that he saw Him in the real sense, as the Prophet's dream-vision or heart-vision — Allah bless and greet him — is by far sharper, more accurate, and more real than the visions of ordinary people.
Ahl al-Sunna scholars gave many interpretations of the above hadith. For example, al-Razi and, before him, al-Bayhaqi, interpreted the placing of Allah's Hand as His extreme consideration and attention to the Prophet — Allah bless and greet him –, or as His immense favor to him, while its specific placing between his shoulders refers to the pouring of divine kindness and mercy into his heart, and the coolness refers to the completion and perfection of his knowledge as shown by his words "I knew all things between the East and the West."17 Al-Qari wrote the following in the chapter on the Prophet's — Allah bless and greet him — turban in his book Jam` al-Wasa'il fi Sharh al-Shama'il, a commentary on al-Tirmidhi's Shama'il or "Characteristics of the Prophet":
Whether the Prophet — Allah bless and greet him — saw his Lord in his sleep or whether Allah the Glorious and Exalted manifested Himself to him with a form (bi al-tajalli al-suri), this type of manifestation is known among the masters of spiritual states and stations (arbab al-hal wa al-maqam), and it consists in being reminded of His disposition (hay'atihi) and reflecting upon His vision (ru'yatihi), which is the outcome of the perfection of one's self-detachment (takhliyatihi) and self-adornment (tahliyatihi). And Allah knows best about the states of His Prophets and Intimate Friends whom He has raised with His most excellent upbringing, and the mirrors of whose hearts He has polished with His most excellent polish, until they witnessed the Station of Divine Presence and Abiding (maqam al-hudur wa al-baqa'), and they rid themselves of the rust of screens and extinction (sada' al-huzur wa al-fana'). May Allah bestow on us their yearnings, may He make us taste their states and manners, and may He make us die in the condition of loving them and raise us in their group.18
Al-Qari goes on to quote Ibn al-Qayyim's relation from Ibn Taymiyya that when the Prophet — Allah bless and greet him — saw that his Lord put His hand between his shoulders, he honored that place with the extremity of the turban.19 Elsewhere he states:

text: This study concerns on improving the students achievements in writing descriptive text by using cue cards media. The underlying objective of this study is to investigate whether teaching descriptive by using cue cards media potentially improves students skill. The research was conducted by using Classroom Action Research (CAR). The population was the 2012-2013 eight grade students of SMPNegeri1 Padang Bolak. The number of students was 36, consisting of females and males. The procedure of the research was administrated into two cycles where each cycle consisted of three meetings. Each meeting included four steps namely: planning, action, observation, and reflection. There were two kinds of data collected during the study, qualitative and quantitative data. The instrument for collecting the quantitative data was the writing of descriptive test while the qualitative data were gathered by using, diary notes and observation sheet. Based on the data analysis, the mean of students score in Test I was 52.22; for the Test II was 64.44, and for the Test III was 75.55. The qualitative data showed that the students were interested in the using of Cue Card media. The conclusion is that the using of Cue Card media in writing Descriptive text improves the students achievement in writing descriptive.

Gear Review
Nice but still not there
I did not take this pack out on the trail but rather bought it and eventually returned it after trying it out indoors only. I am trying to replace some of Dana Gleason's Mystery Ranch packs and I thought this was the ticket. This is definitely lighter than those but not the lightest I have seen. The outside material includes the amazing superfabric which I would have loved to see more of to protect from sharp pointy climbing gear. The other fabrics used on the pack and the seam stitching look tough enough but somehow left me unsure and "unsure" means it's not going to take this very high in the hills with me. The best thing about this pack is the 20-40 system implementation which I hope is added to all packs since it stays trim and neat no matter which deployment. The adjustable harness is a good addition but I prefer how others are implemented. As somebody mentioned, the tool carrying system looks serviceable enough but does promote some unease as to how secure everything is going to be. So this one is a good pack with nice and useful features but with enough questions to make me keep on looking.
