The present invention relates to an organic semiconductor electrolyte capacitor and a process for producing the same. More particularly, the invention relates to an improved process for forming an electrolyte layer of an organic semiconductor.
Solid-electrolytic capacitors use an anode in a foil or block form made from a film-forming metal such as aluminum or tantalum. The anode is etched to increase its surface area or made porous by sintering a compact of fine particles. The anode surface is overlaid with a dielectric oxide film, which is further coated with an electrolyte layer connected to a conductive cathode extension.
The prior solid-electrolyte layer is conventionally formed of manganese dioxide. Manganese dioxide solid-electrolyte is formed on the dielectric oxide film by impregnating the anode with a manganese nitrate solution and pyrolyzing the manganese nitrate into manganese dioxide at about 300� C. Only a small amount of manganese dioxide is deposited by one cycle of this process, and in order to provide the necessary deposit thickness, up to about 10 cycles or more must be repeated. This is disadvantageous not only because an extremely complicated process is required but also because the dielectric oxide film is deteriorated by the heat or gases produced during the pyrolysis of the manganese nitrate solution.
A proposal has been made for replacing manganese dioxide by a semiconductive organic compound as the material of the electrolyte layer. Complex salts of 7, 7, 8, 8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (hereunder TCNQ) are currently known as organic electrolytes. The TCNQ complex salts are solid at room temperature and require special methods for depositing them on a capacitor element as the electrolyte. According to U.S. Pat. No. 3,214,648, the anode is dipped in a solution having a TCNQ complex salt dissolved in an organic solvent, and after recovering the anode from the solution, the organic solvent is evaporated to disperse the TCNQ complex into a layer forming on the anode surface. However, the solvent used in this method has a low concentration of TCNQ complex salt and, as in the case of the manganese dioxide layer, up to about cycles of impregnation are required to deposit an acceptable thickness of the TCNQ complex salt layer. Therefore, the problem of process complexity still remains in the technique proposed by U.S. Pat. No. 3,214,648.
Japanese Patent Publication No. 32303/1976 proposes depositing on the anode surface a dispersion comprising a polymer compound and fine particles of a TCNQ complex salt. However, as in the method shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,214,648, the TCNQ complex salt is crystallized or dispersed in the crystalline state after evaporation of the solvent, and because of the incomplete contact between the complex salt and the dielectric oxide film on the anode (which has been etched to provide a complex and irregular surface profile), the desired electrostatic capacity is not obtainable between the anode and cathode.
Another method has recently been propsed for depositing a TCNQ complex salt on the anode. This method consists of first heating the complex salt alone to a temperature higher than its melting point, then dipping the anode in the resulting melt, and recovering and cooling the anode. According to this method, the TCNQ complex deposited on the anode has such a high concentration that the desired amount of the TCNQ complex salt can be deposited by a single cycle of impregnation. However, the TCNQ complex salts are vulnerable to heat and many of them substantially preclude the application of this method since they are decomposed upon a very short period of heating above their melting points. For example, if isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt is heated above 200� C., it smokes before melting and decomposes to form an insulator. In order to avoid this problem, the impregnation step must be completed within a short time and followed by rapid cooling. However, such rapid treatments require a complex apparatus and are unable to achieve a high yield. A further problem is caused by the fact that after cooling, the TCNQ complex salt is crystallized and the resulting poor contact with the dielectric oxide film causes insufficient electrostatic capacitance.
The present invention has been accomplished in order to eliminate the above mentioned defects of the prior art techniques by enabling the melting and impregnation of an isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt, with a view to providing a solid-electrolyte capacitor having improved characteristics.
According to the present invention, the step of impregnating the dielectric oxide film on the anode of a solid-electrolyte capacitor with a solid-electrolyte layer made of a TCNQ complex salt is not only simplified, but the efficiency of this step is increased and the solid-electrolyte capacitor is provided with improved characteristics.
The present invention is characterized by providing an organic semiconductor electrolyte made of a mixture of an isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt with one or more lactone compounds, heating the mixture to a temperature lower than the melting point or decomposition point of the isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt so as to obtain a melt, dipping a capacitor element, in the melt, recovering the capacitor element from the melt, and cooling the element so that the desired organic semiconductor electrolyte layer solidifies on the element. The mixture of TCNQ complex salt and one or more lactone compounds turns to liquid at a temperature lower than the melting point of the TCNQ complex salt since a mixture of substances has a lower melting point (or freezing point) than any of the individual substances. More specifically, the isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt has a melting point since the TCNQ complex salt is a crystallinity substance. On the other hand, the mixture of an isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt with one or more lactone compounds by heating and melting is amorphous and has not a melting point. However, the mixture has a so-called "glass transition point" which is lower than the melting point of the TCNQ complex salt.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a capacitor element used in Examples described herein and which is partially unrolled to reveal its internal construction;
FIG. 2 is a cross section of an apparatus for impregnating the capacitor element with a solid electrolyte according to the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a cross section of capacitor according to the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is a DTA chart for a TCNQ complex salt alone and a mixture thereof with γ-butyrolactone which were both solidified by cooling molten samples.
FIG. 1 illustrates the capacitor used in the Examples that follow of the present invention. The cylindrical capacitor element which is generally indicated at 1 is formed of a rolled electrode strip that is composed of an anode 2, a collector electrode 3 and a separator paper 4. The anode 2 is made of a high-purity aluminum foil which is etched to increase its surface area and which has a dielectric oxide film formed on its surface by anodization. The anode 2 is substantially coextensive with the collector electrode 3, and the two electrodes are superimposed on each other with the separator paper 4, which is slightly wider than the electrodes, inserted therebetween. Tabs 5 and 6 are connected by welding or other suitable means to the anode 2 and collector electrode 3, respectively. These tabs extend vertically from one end of the capacitor element so as to provide electrical connections to external circuits. External leads 7 and 8 are bonded to the tips of these tabs.
FIG. 2 illustrates how the organic semiconductor electrolyte layer is formed on the capacitor element 1. A preheating block 10 is shown on the left side of the Figure. This block has a heater embedded in its interior and has a recess 11 which is open to the top of the block. The capacitor element 1 is placed within this recess and heated to a predetermined temperature.
An impregnation block 12 is shown on the right side of the Figure. This block also has a heater embedded in its interior and a recess 13 in its top portion. This recess 13 is filled with a mixture 14 of a TCNQ complex salt and a lactone additive, and the mixture is heated until it melts. The capacitor element 1 that has been preheated in the block 10 is transferred into the recess 13 where it is dipped for a predetermined period until it is impregnated with the molten mixture of TCNQ complex salt and the lactone additive. The capacitor element 1 is then lifted above the recess 13 and left to cool, whereupon the molten mixture 14 is solidified to form an organic semiconductor electrolyte layer.
The capacitor element 1 thus provided with the organic semiconductor electrolyte layer is encased in a bottomed tubular container 20 as shown in FIG. 3. The open end of the container is closed with an elastomeric plug 21 and the outer rim is curled to seal the case. The external leads 7 and 8 project outwardly through holes in the elastomeric plug 21 so as to provide electrical connections between the capacitor element 1 and an external circuit.
The advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following working examples and comparative examples.
A 99.99% pure aluminum anode strip (2.2 mmW �10 mmL �80 micronsT) was provided as a capacitor element. The anode was etched electrolytically with a.c. current to increase its surface area, and a dielectric oxide film having a breakdown voltage of 9 volts was formed on the etched surface by anodization. A 99.94% pure aluminum strip of substantially the same size as that of the anode was provided as a collector electrode. An aluminum tab was cold-welded to one peripheral edge of each strip approximately at its center. The two strips were then rolled about themselves with a separator paper blended with Manila hemp inserted between each strip. This capacitor element configuration was used in both Comparative Example 2 and the following working examples.
The thus-prepared cylindrical capacitor element was impregnated with a liquid electrolyte made of ethylene glycol and ammonium adipate. The impregnated element was encased in an aluminum container which was closed with a rubber stopper and sealed by curling the outer rim. The completed capacitor had voltage and capacitance ratings of 6.3 V and 10 microfarads, and the body had a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 5 mm. The capacitor was aged by applying the rated voltage for 15 minutes, and the resulting electrical characteristics were specified in the table.
The same capacitor element as that of the comparative Example 1 was preliminarily heated at 250� C. A composition solely made of an isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt was placed in an impregnation block and heated to 240� C., at which temperature the composition turned to liquid.
The preheated capacitor element was quickly transferred to a position above the impregnation block, and all parts except for the top face from which the tabs projected were dipped in the molten TCNQ complex salt for 10 seconds. Then, the element was recovered from the melt and left to cool so as to solidify the isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt.
The thus-treated capacitor element was encased in an aluminum container of the same size as used in Comparative Example 1, and sealed to provide a complete solid-electrolyte capacitor. The capacitor was aged by applying the rated voltage for one hour. The resulting electrical characteristics were specified in the table.
Thirteen samples of the same capacitor elements as that of the comparative examples were preliminarily heated at 300� C. in the preheating blocks 10, respectively except that one part by weight of the isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt was mixed with lactone compounds listed in the following table. The mixtures were heated and melted to the so-called glass transition points in the impregnation blocks 12, respectively. The preheated capacitor elements were dipped in the molten mixtures for 10 seconds, recovered therefrom, left to cool, respectively. Further, the same encasing, subsequent processing and aging as those of the comparative examples were performed. The characteristics of the completed capacitors of the examples 1 to 13 are specified in the following table.

Note 2: ESR stands for Equivalent Series Resistance.
As the above data shows, the electrolytic capacitor prepared in Comparative Example 1 had a high electrostatic capacity since the liquid electrolyte had intimate contact with the dielectric oxide film and penetrated to the deepest microscopic pits formed in the etched surface of the anode. However, the electrolyte had a high specific resistance (200 to 300 ohm-cm) in comparison with that of the isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt (less than several tens of ohm-cm), and this caused a high dielectric loss and equivalent series resistance.
The solid-electrolyte capacitor prepared in Comparative Example 2 had a low dielectric loss and equivalent series resistance since the specific resistance of the TCNQ complex salt was lower than that of the electrolyte used in Comparative Example 1. However, the sample of Comparative Example 2 had a very low electrostatic capacitance. Although the exact reason for this phenomenon is not completely clear, a probable explanation would be as follow: the molten TCNQ complex salt penetrated to the deepest etch pits in the anode surface, but during the subsequent cooling, the complex salt formed acicular crystals which made point contact with the dielectric oxide film within the pits.
On the other hand, the solid-electrolyte capacitor samples prepared in Examples 1 to 13 in accordance with the present invention had sufficiently large amounts of the TCNQ complex salt deposited on the dielectric oxide film to exhibit high static capacitance values. This is probably because the solid electrolyte made of a mixture of isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt and lactone compound prevented the crystallization of the complex salt during the cooling that followed the impregnation of the anode surface with the molten mixture, and the amorphous complex salt left in in the etched pits ensured adequate contact with the dielectric oxide film on the anode surface.
In order to verify this assumption, a differential thermal analysis (DTA) was conducted with two samples of molten and cooled electrolyte, and the results are shown in FIG. 4, wherein curve (A) refers to the solidified sample of electrolyte used in Comparative Example 2 which was made of only isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt, and curve (B) refers to the solidified sample of the electrolyte used in Example 1 that was made of a mixture of the isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt and γ-butyrolactone. The curve (B) has an endothermic peak, suggesting the amorphous state of the mixture used in Example 1. Both curves had an exothermic peak at about 250� C. indicating the decomposition point of the TCNQ complex salt. Although not shown here, data for mixtures with other lactone compounds was similar to curve (B).
According to the present invention, a mixture of isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt and a lactone compound has a glass transition point and melts at a temperature lower than the proper melting point of the TCNQ complex salt. This is effective in prolonging the time before pyrolysis of the mixture occurs and facilitates the impregnation of the electrolyte in the anode surface. Stated more specifically, pure isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt has a melting point of 240� C. or more, at which temperature the complex salt decomposes within about 2 minutes. Since the impregnation and cooling of the electrolyte must be completed within this short period, using the pure salt, no more than two cycles of such steps can be repeated and the remaining TCNQ complex salt has to be discarded because it has already lost its conductivity. According to the present invention, however, the mixture of isopropyl-isoquinolinium TCNQ complex salt with a lactone compound melts at a temperature below 200� C. with the number of degrees below 200� C. at which the glass transition point varies with the type and mixing ratio of the specific lactone compound. Since the time before pyrolysis is extended, many cycles of the impregnation and cooling steps can be repeated without wasting the expensive TCNQ complex salt.
The capacitor elements used in Examples 1 to 13 were prepared by rolling an aluminum foil anode having a dielectric oxide film on the etched surface, and a collector electrode with a separator paper inserted between the two strips. The capacitor element that can be used in the present invention is not limited to this particular configuration, and the anode may be made of tantalum, other film-forming metals, or alloys of such metals. The anode may be made by pressing a compact of a film-forming metal powder and sintering to fuse the particles to form a porous structure. Also available are foil-type capacitors wherein no separator paper is present between the anode and collector electrode. Also, the collector electrode can be made of a non-aluminum metal or a heat-resistant electroconductive resin film.
A metal case was used in the above Examples, but it should be understood that the capacitor element may be encased in a resin container, a dipped or molded plastic container, or encapsulated in a laminated film.
Lactone compounds other than those specifically used in the Examples are also effective in achieving the objects of the present invention. In the Examples, lactone compounds were used singly, but similar results will be obtained by combining two or more lactone compounds.
As will be understood from the foregoing, the present invention enables the fabrication of a solid-electrolyte capacitor having a high impregnation ratio of solid electrolyte or high static capacity per unit volume, therefore permitting the optimum in miniaturization. Since only one impregnation cycle is sufficient to provide the necessary characteristics for the capacitor, the process of electrolyte layer formation is simplified. The possibility of using lower temperatures for melting the TCNQ complex salt ensures a sufficiently long lead time to pyrolysis of the electrolyte not only to simplify the impregnation process but also to its maximize efficiency. As a further advantage, the TCNQ complex salt is in uniform contact with the dielectric oxide film so that a solid-electrolyte capacitor having a low loss and low impedance characteristics at high frequency can be produced by a simple apparatus. The process of the present invention also achieves a maximum reduction in the waste of the expensive TCNQ complex salt. For these reasons, the present invention enables the fabrication of a solid-electrolyte capacitor with improved characteristics with utmost efficiency.

C. Jane Kendrick: Be careful with term 'mommy blogger'
Yesterday, my sister and fellow blogger pulled up to my house to pick up her children. As I helped transport them into her car, she rolled down the window and said, "Thanks for what you said about 'mommy blogger.' I really don't like that label."
She was referring to a recent opportunity I had to speak out about why the term "mommy blogger" is not embraced by all female bloggers.
Some bloggers have no issue inserting this description in their professional bios and wearing the term proudly. Others find it a term that was forced on them simply because they are women who have children and blog.
In preparing for the speech, I was prodded by my husband to speak honestly on why this term isn't accurate in describing what I do.
I am a professional blogger. I make money blogging by renting out space on my blog to an advertising network. Depending on my traffic and the network's ability to sell ads, I can support my family on this livelihood — which I think is fair, given that it requires the same hours as a full-time job.
I started blogging before the term "mommy blogger" was born. I didn't cultivate a blog with the intention of writing from a specific voice. I started a blog simply because I had quit my real job for a chance to become a professional writer. I saw blogging as a smart way to self-publish and gain an audience.
At the time, I wasn't a mother. In fact, I was going through the intensity of infertility, which I used as the basis for my blog. I was a writer creating personal essays around an experience.
This was also before blogging genres were identified, such as "design bloggers" or "political bloggers." There was just blogging. We were just bloggers.
And still today, I prefer that simple description above all else. I am C. Jane Kendrick, a blogger, or someone who uses a website to log experiences using mostly text.
In my experience, the terms "mom," "mama" and "mommy" became buzz words for bloggers trying to drive traffic. About the same time, direct online advertising was picking up on the same trend.
Moms were seeking out mom-founded websites and blogs for networking, information and support. In response, corporations saw that the women flocking to the Internet were a powerful way to push products, trends and goods.
And women were seeing a way to make an income by writing "advertorial" posts for payment. Because of this, I always associated the term "mommy blogger" with a woman who cultivated her blog content for mom-centric advertising.
I've experienced this type of blogging myself. I've been given products, sent on trips and asked to write clearly marked paid reviews. From a business perspective, it's a great relationship. Using moms to influence moms to buy better products or create a better standard of living is more effective than the corporate-driven approach.
I've been so grateful for posts I've read on various topics from maternity leggings to natural cleaning products. This type of blogging can be a solid network of women helping women.
For me, the pressure to be a third-party influencer is hurtful to my intentions. I find writing posts for the sake of advertising to be counter-intuitive to what I hope to create online as a writer. If I am a good writer, if I blog well, I have no problem being paid for the traffic it accumulates. But my content should be as independent as possible.
The term "mommy blogger" also carries with it the same complications we find in other labels placed on women. It's ill-fitting. As of today, "mommy blogging" describes blogs that focus on the young mother's experience (which could be an accurate description of my blog on some days). But what happens when these "mommy bloggers" no longer have little children at home? What happens when they outgrow that label? Will we create a "post-mommy blogger" genre?
And what about those female bloggers who write beyond day-to-day mom-centric postings and focus on describing a human experience?
Until I can answer these questions comfortably, I will always see "mommy blogger" as an inaccurate description for my lifetime career.
But perhaps the ultimate argument is more personal. "Mommy" is a term of endearment our children use in our evolving relationships with them. It's a phrase that should transcend marketing ploys and target audiences. In a sense, it's a sacred term that comes with it a very personal responsibility. To see it flung about to describe anything from websites without substance to million-dollar businesses is a bit heartbreaking.
As one fellow blogger said to me: "Mommy. Only my children are allowed to call me that."

It wasn't that the earring was in the wrong ear, it was MISSING because the Thing couldn't duplicate non-organic material. Her suspicions were double confirmed when she asked about the earring and he reached for the wrong ear.
He wasn't taken over by the alien until after they entered the alien ship.
As written, Kate was supposed to unambiguously die, walking off into the freezing wasteland. The studio changed it to leave her fate up in the air, presumably for a possible sequel.

What are you complaining about my friend gets a tour of Europe it's so cool I'm a bit jealous but it's all good you should be happy for her ask her to bring back some cool pics and if you can be in touch with her research some stuff she can go see she'll be grateful and you will learn something new too so what she goes on vacation she will probably have good story's to tell bottom line be happy for her jealousy can ruin every thing

Hi! Um, I dont have a lot of girl best friends and most of my friends are the guys. People always are mean about it. I mean, I have alot of best friends that are girls, but I can't STAND the bullying about always chillin' with the dudes. I dont blame you if you think I even talk like one. People ahev even started saying I should go out with my crushes friends. Help asap!
Hey girly, you just have to ignore those people. Those people are probably jealous they don't have the great friends you have, so don't worry too much about them. Just keep being cool with the guys and forget those other people.

MOD! Hi, I have a friend problem. I'm not sure if it's something wrong with me (like I'm jealous or something) but my best friend makes me mad ALL the time. It just seems like everything is always about her, sometimes she is really mean to me, sometimes she will talk to every single guy and everyone else except for me when we hang out. And it's annoying when she does these things. When I try to talk to her about something (like her flirting with every guy she lays eyes on and likes any guy I tell her I like) she always says things like okay how I do I do that and I never do that and you do it to. It's like she turns it around on me. What do I do? I want to be her friend.

Just to let the website know... I've submitted this question 5 times here and don't see it. Please answer! This is a serious question and I need help.
I've been bullied since Monday and it's already started to affect me. Before it was just words. It hurt, but I survived. Then it got physical today. It's to the point where the nasty things these guys say, make me want to transfer schools. What do I do? Reporting to an adult doesn't work. My school sucks with that. How do I seriously fix it without others being involved?

Your bff doesn't seem like she really is your best friend. If you feel brave, calmly ask her if everything is alright between you. Mention that your friendship seems distant and if she still seems like your bff then make some plans, if not give her some space and definitely make some new friends. good luck!

Traditional wooden farmhouses like those in Appensell, are iconically Swiss, but every year around 30 of them are demolished because it is so difficult to renovate them to modern standards.
But a European research project 3-ENCULT wants to save these houses and is finding new ways to modernise the buildings in an ecologically friendly way. A team at the Technical University of Darmstadt, in Germany, are evaluating the effects of different elements of the renovation – insulation is obviously a major issue and double glazing is essential. This house has been fitted with both external and internal insulation. Monitors around the house help researchers know exactly what works and what doesn't.
Simone Reeb, a researcher at the University of Darmstadt explained: "We have about 160 sensors in the house, which measure the surface temperature, relative air humidity and absolute air humidity. Additionally, at some points we also collect the airflows. Right now all survey stations are feeding their data into the system, it is analysed, and eventually a heater or a humidifier could be activated as a result."
Another possibility is using a different type of insulation to improve living standards inside the house, which is completely constructed from wood. Building houses like this is an old-established craft, and there are still some people around who keep the skills alive.
Eventually, the team hopes to find the best ways to insulate and heat these houses, to make them energy efficient, eco-friendly and comfortable to live in… as well as being iconic from the outside.

I also learned about other cool stuff about Brussels, but this set off my hunt for the best Belgian chocolate (punctuated of course by periodic snacks of Belgian fries and waffles - also lasagna, for some strange reason Belgians love lasagna).

Make Up For Ever 207 Candy Pink Artist Plexi-Gloss ($19.00 for 0.23 fl. oz.) is a brightened, medium fuchsia pink with cool, blue undertones and a cream finish. The consistency was light-medium and tacky. It went on somewhat evenly with semi-opaque coverage. It was neither drying nor hydrating, but it wore well for five hours on me. Bite Beauty Eleven (Watercolor) (LE) is similar. Urban Decay Scandal (P, $22.00) is slightly darker, more opaque. Estee Lauder Rosy Future (LE, $26.00) is similar. Revlon HD Tourmaline (510) (P, $8.99) is lighter, brighter. NYX Sugar Cookie (P, $5.00) is similar. NARS Priscilla (P, $26.00) is darker. MAC Style Packed (LE, $15.00) is lighter. MAC Silly (LE, $15.00) is lighter. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.Read Full Review
MAC Wash & Dry Lipglasses
MAC Domestic Diva Lipglass ($17.50 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a "frosty watery pink." It's a medium-dark, warm-toned pink with a lot of multi-colored, fine shimmer. It had semi-sheer to semi-opaque coverage that went on evenly and smoothly. This shade wore well for almost five hours on me and was neither hydrating nor drying. MAC Viva Glam Miley Cyrus (LE, $15.00) is sheerer, cooler-toned. MAC Social Season (LE, $20.00) is less pigmented. MAC Astral (LE, $20.00) is less shimmery. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.Read Full Review
Make Up For Ever 203P, 205P, 302P Artist Plexi-Glosses
Make Up For Ever 203P Golden Pink Artist Plexi-Gloss ($19.00 for 0.23 fl. oz.) is supposed to be a gloss with "vivid color and high-shine" that will wear for "five hours" with a non-sticky texture. It's not a bad gloss formula, as far as glosses go, but it doesn't really deliver on its promises of "vivid color," as many of shades I've tried (nine) are more semi-sheer to semi-opaque. I haven't worn all of them yet, but I have tested these three, which I found to be longer-wearing than the average gloss, but they are tacky with a light-medium weight to them. I felt like not enough product was pulled onto the applicator each time the wand was pulled out of the tube, and the applicator is interesting, but I don't think it applied better (or worse) than the traditional doe-foot. The split-tipped applicator is more spongy and pliable, so those with more curved lips may find it easier to use than traditional applicators. I didn't notice any scent or taste with this formula.Read Full Review
Marc Jacobs Whip It, Love Drunk, Pink Steam Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer
Marc Jacobs Enamored Hi-Shine Lip Lacquer ($28.00 for 0.16 fl. oz.) is supposed to have "maximum color and brilliance" and "shine like '30 coats of lacquer.'" The formula has a mint scent but not much flavor from what I could detect. The biggest downside is that several shades that I have are not in line with "maximum color." It has a light-medium weight with a smooth, creamy consistency that has a light tackiness, but it isn't particularly sticky and doesn't seem to get tackier as it wears on. It has a high-shine finish and is comfortable to wear as it is lightly hydrating. I think the Lust for Lacquer formula was better, as it went on more smoothly and the full coverage part of the formula was more likely to be true.Read Full Review

Urban Decay 69 Revolution High-Color Lipgloss ($22.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a "bright red." It's a brightened, medium-dark red with cool, blue undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. The consistency was light-medium in weight with a smooth, almost gel-like feel that spread easily across the lips. It developed tackiness as it wore on, and it was moderately tacky by the end of wear. The color had semi-opaque coverage that went on evenly overall, and it lasted for five and a half hours with some hydration. Urban Decay Brickhouse (P, $22.00) is darker, warmer. MAC Victoriana (LE, $15.00) is similar. MAC Carmine Rouge (LE, $30.00) is lighter. MAC Ruby Woo (LE, $15.00) is darker. NARS Burning Love (LE, $26.00) is more muted. Guerlain Rouge Parade (920) (LE, $30.00) is similar. MAC RiRi Woo (LE, $15.00) is slightly darker. MAC Russian Red (P, $15.00) is darker. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.Read Full Review
Urban Decay Punch Drunk & Quiver Revolution High-Color Lipglosses
Urban Decay Punch Drunk Revolution High-Color Lipgloss ($22.00 for 0.17 fl. oz.) is described as a "bright orange." It's a bold, brightened, medium orange-red with warm undertones and a creamy, glossy finish. It had mostly opaque color payoff, though there was still some translucency to it so the natural lip color will peek through (I could see it turning redder on some as a result). It went on smoothly and evenly, and the gloss wore well for almost six hours and was lightly hydrating over time. NARS Wonder (P, $26.00) is sheerer, lighter. MAC Teen Dream (LE, $20.00) is less glossy, lighter. MAC Morange (LE, $15.00) is lighter. MAC Knockout (LE, $15.00) is similar. MAC Eclectic Edge (LE, $15.00) is lighter, more shimmery. MAC Ablaze (LE, $15.00) is similar. Illamasqua Temper (P, $22.00) is similar. Guerlain Tangerine Vlam (P, $30.00) is less red. See comparison swatches / compare dupes side-by-side.Read Full Review

East Toledo residents in the 900-block of Clark Street are telling police a man from down the street shot a stray dog in broad daylight.
Police have a person of interest in the investigation, but officials say they need more evidence before filing any charges.
The dog is in stable condition at Lucas County Canine Care. The canine will likely need her leg amputated before being put up for adoption. Doctors at the Animal Emergency and Critical Care Center of Toledo determined yesterday that one of her leg bones shattered in eight places.
??At no point was she aggressive toward us,?? Veterinarian Dr. Michael Washkevich said. ??She was sore. I mean, you would be too if your leg was shattered.??
The dog was shot in front of Bill Rost??s east Toledo home. He??d been taking care of the stray, since it showed up in his neighborhood on Saturday.
??I just thought it was pretty bad somebody had to shoot a dog that didn??t bother nobody,?? Rost said.
Lucas County Canine Care is raising money through a Cuties Fund to pay for the dog??s amputation.Donations can be made in person, at their main office at 410 S. Erie, or online.

In May 2004, Sony opened up its own store for selling digital music: Sony Connect. From the start, the service was plagued with self-inflicted woes. Thanks to Sony?s use of DRM and a proprietary music format (ATRAC), music bought through Sony Connect could only be played on Sony?s expensive digital music players. And those devices came loaded with software that was awkward and hard to use.
Not surprisingly, Sony is rumored to be pulling the plug on Sony Disconnect, or at least downsizing it. In any case, the problems of Sony's premiere music service make a point that deserves emphasis: customers don?t like having their options limited and being herded into using poorly designed technology.
When a company like Viacom sends more than 160,000 DMCA takedown notices to YouTube, there is a risk that some fair use "dolphins" will get caught along with the infringing "tuna." Well, another "dolphin" got caught up in the DMCA takedown driftnet. Thanks to the "hotline" established by Viacom at EFF's urging, however, this time the creators of the video were able to get the mistake corrected.

A watchdog group says Google's privacy policies are the

- Yahoo's China Policy Rejected
Yahoo shareholders rejected plans for the company to adopt
A landmark bill that would require tough privacy and security safeguards for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags in state-issued IDs sailed through the California Senate recently on a broad bipartisan vote. It's already over its first hurdle in the Assembly, and, if you live in California, we need your help to push it through.
Without proper protections, RFIDs in IDs can broadcast your private information to anyone and leave you vulnerable to tracking and identity theft. That's why EFF, the ACLU, the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, and other groups have been working hard to get support for the Identity Information Protection Act (SB 30).
Not even a week after AT&T announced plans to adopt undefined technical measures to stop "piracy," NBC Universal has asked [PDF] the FCC to declare that "broadband service providers have an obligation to use readily available means" (emphasis added) to stop copyright infringement. On the unintentionally funny-and-scary scale of one to ten, this is easily an 11.
The comments were submitted as part of the FCC's Notice of Inquiry about broadband policy. Most of the debate in this inquiry has focused around imposing "network neutrality" rules and limiting ISPs' ability to break the Internet as an open platform for innovation by discriminating against particular content and application providers.
Forcing all state DMVs to issue new standardized drivers' licenses under REAL ID seems bound for catastrophe, and the federal government's recent passport delay debacle provides more reason to expect the worst.
According to the AP, "The State Department has been flooded with passport applications since new rules requiring passports for air travelers went into effect in January. The resulting backlog has caused delays of up to three months for passports and ruined or delayed the travel plans of thousands of Americans." The House of Representatives recently voted to delay the rules for 17 months.
PCDA Recommendations to 2007 General Assembly
(As adopted 9:38 pm June 15, 2007)
The PCDA decided to make the following recommendations to the 2007 General Assembly:
1. To adopt the recommendations for action in the agreed proposals contained in the Annex;
2. To immediately implement the recommendations contained in the list submitted by the Chair of the PCDA, in accordance with paragraph X of the Report of the Fourth Session of the PCDA;
3. A Committee on Development and IP be established immediately to:
a. develop a work-program for implementation of the adopted recommendations;
b. monitor, assess, discuss and report on the implementation of all recommendations adopted, and for that purpose it shall coordinate with relevant WIPO bodies;
c. discuss IP and development related issues as agreed by the Committee, as well as those decided by the General Assembly.
With Senators once again attempting to push through immigration reform, check out Jim Harper's excellent article about how the proposal's employment verification section implicates your privacy. Along with expanding the scope of REAL ID before it's even implemented and effectively forcing all Americans to present this standardized national ID in order to get a job, Title III of the immigration bill would establish an "electronic employment verification system" (EEVS) that relies on an extensive government database filled with personal information.

About William Cox
Hi, my name is Bil Cox. I've been around since 1959. I've been drawing and coloring and painting since grade school. I have no formal art education except what I learned in art clas at High School. I spent 13 years in the Billboard Industry woring construction and learning sign painting and a lot of short cuts for pictorial signs.
I had gotten injured on a billboard and an electrical line that eventually caused me to leave the Billboard Industry. I quit doing any art for over 17 years. Recently I have once again started drawing and painting, mostly drawing. I haven't been doing many originals, I've mostly been reproducing photos that people want done in pencil, charcoal and graphite. I do mix these mediums within one drawing a lot of times. I also started doing color drawings with colored pencils.
I'm not much of an abstract artists as I have always loved realism. I concentrate mostly on portrait drawings. My largest was of my own family. It contained my wife, myself, my 4 daughters and 3 grandchildren. 3'x4' ! My mom was my inspiration to complete this massive drawing.
I found this community through a fellow artist. I would love to show my art examples, maybe sell some things along the way or do some commission drawings or paintings.

Daniel Andrews' reckless and unnecessary decision to install an Grand Final Parade Holiday is costing this state - $852 million in one day, to be precise. Ignoring 95% of public submissions and the regulatory impact statement as well as causing businesses to close and prices to rise is no way to govern for Victoria.Read More
With Daniel Andrews and Labor, we've had six months of all talk, no action.

Mumbai Police Crime Branch investigating the murders of starlet Laila Khan (30) and five relatives at an Igatpuri farmhouse last February filed a 924-page chargesheet on Wednesday against Pervez Iqbal Tak and Shakir Hussain Wani. While Tak has been arrested, Wani is absconding.
"We have filed a chargesheet before the 37 th Metropolitan Magistrate Court. There is strong evidence against the accused, such as blood-stained weapons recovered from the farmhouse and two seized cars. Also, witnesses have identified Tak," said Joint CP (Crime) Himanshu Roy.
The accused have been booked under IPC sections 302 (murder), 363 (punishment for kidnapping), 364 (abducting to murder), 397 (robbery with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence), and 120B (criminal conspiracy).
Police recoveries include two knives, an iron rod and two wooden rods with blood stains. A Mitsubishi Outlander registered in the name of Laila and a Mahindra Scorpio of her mother Shelina Patel have also been seized. The vehicles were allegedly used by the accused to flee to Jammu after the murders. The chargesheet includes statements of 101 witnesses, nine of whom have positively identified Tak.
Laila and five family members were reported missing by her father Nadirshah Patel in February last year. The family members included Shelina (59), her elder daughter Azmina (32), twin children Zara and Imran (25) and Reshma Sagir Khan alias Talli (19).
On July 3 this year, the case was transferred to Crime Branch after Jammu and Kashmir Police arrested and interrogated main accused Tak in Kishtwar.
Tak, third husband of Shelina, allegedly led them on July 10 to the farmhouse, from where skeletons of the missing were recovered. Crime Branch claims Tak disliked the proximity of Shelina to her second husband Asif Sheikh and killed the six after a heated argument on the issue.
