About Hall & Oates
From their first hit in 1974 through their heyday in the '80s, Daryl Hall and John Oates' smooth, catchy take on Philly soul brought them enormous commercial success -- including six number one singles and six platinum albums. Hall & Oates' music was remarkably well constructed and produced; at their best, their songs were filled with strong hooks and melodies that adhered to soul traditions without being a slave to them, incorporating elements of new wave and hard rock.
Daryl Hall began performing professionally while he was a student at Temple University. In 1966, he recorded a single with Kenny Gamble and the Romeos; the group featured Gamble, Leon Huff, and Thom Bell, who would all become the architects of Philly soul. During this time, Hall frequently appeared on sessions for Gamble and Huff. In 1967, Hall met John Oates, a fellow Temple University student. Oates was leading his own soul band at the time. The two students realized they had similar tastes and began performing together in an array of R&B and doo wop groups. By 1968, the duo had parted ways, as Oates transferred schools and Hall formed the soft rock band Gulliver; the group released one album on Elektra in the late '60s before disbanding.
After Gulliver's breakup, Hall concentrated on session work again, appearing as a backup vocalist for the Stylistics, the Delfonics, and the Intruders, among others. Oates returned to Philadelphia in 1969, and he and Hall began writing folk-oriented songs and performing together. Eventually they came to the attention of Tommy Mottola, who quickly became their manager, securing the duo a contract with Atlantic Records. On their first records -- Whole Oates (1972), Abandoned Luncheonette (1973), War Babies (1974) -- the duo were establishing their sound, working with producers like Arif Mardin and Todd Rundgren and removing much of their folk influences. At the beginning of 1974, the duo relocated from Philadelphia to New York. During this period, they only managed one hit -- the number 60 "She's Gone" in the spring of 1974.
After they moved to RCA in 1975, the duo landed on its successful mixture of soul, pop, and rock, scoring a Top Ten single with "Sara Smile." The success of "Sara Smile" prompted the re-release of "She's Gone," which rocketed into the Top Ten as well. Released in the summer of 1976, Bigger than the Both of Us was only moderately successful upon its release. The record took off in early 1977, when "Rich Girl" became the duo's first number one single.
Although they had several minor hits between 1977 and 1980, the albums Hall & Oates released at the end of the decade were not as successful as their mid-'70s records. Nevertheless, they were more adventurous, incorporating more rock elements into their blue-eyed soul. The combination would finally pay off in late 1980, when the duo released the self-produced Voices, the album that marked the beginning of Hall & Oates' greatest commercial and artistic success. The first single from Voices, a cover of the Righteous Brothers' "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling," reached number 12, yet it was the second single, "Kiss on My List" that confirmed their commercial potential by becoming the duo's second number one single; its follow-up, "You Make My Dreams" hit number five. They quickly released Private Eyes in the summer of 1981; the record featured two number one hits, "Private Eyes" and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," as well as the Top Ten hit "Did It in a Minute." "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)" also spent a week at the top of the R&B charts -- a rare accomplishment for a white act. H20 followed in 1982 and it proved more successful than their two previous albums, selling over two million copies and launching their biggest hit single, "Maneater," as well as the Top Ten hits "One on One" and "Family Man." The following year, the duo released a greatest-hits compilation, Rock 'N Soul, Pt. 1, that featured two new Top Ten hits -- the number two "Say It Isn't So" and "Adult Education."
In April of 1984, the Recording Industry Association of America announced that Hall & Oates had surpassed the Everly Brothers as the most successful duo in rock history, earning a total of 19 gold and platinum awards. Released in October of 1984, Big Bam Boom expanded their number of gold and platinum awards, selling over two million copies and launching four Top 40 singles, including the number one "Out of Touch." Following their contract-fulfilling gold album Live at the Apollo with David Ruffin & Eddie Kendrick, Hall & Oates went on hiatus. After the lukewarm reception for Daryl Hall's 1986 solo album, Three Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine, the duo regrouped to release 1988's Ooh Yeah!, their first record for Arista. The first single, "Everything Your Heart Desires," went to number three and helped propel the album to platinum status.
However, none of the album's other singles broke the Top 20, indicating that their era of chart dominance had ended. Change of Season, released in 1990, confirmed that fact. Although the record went gold, it featured only one Top 40 hit -- the number 11 single "So Close." The duo mounted a comeback in 1997 with Marigold Sky, but it was only partially successful; far better was 2003's Do It for Love and the following year's soul covers record Our Kind of Soul.
The issuing of "greatest-hits" albums reached a fever pitch during the 2000s, with no fewer than 15 different collections seeing the light by 2008. Live records proliferated as well, with the A&E Live by Request release Live in Concert hitting stores in 2003, a reissue of their Ecstasy on the Edge 1979 concert (titled simply In Concert this time around) in 2006, and the Live at the Troubadour two-CD/one-DVD set in 2008. As far as proper studio albums go, the 2000s were lean, with only three releases -- the aforementioned Do It for Love and Our Kind of Soul, topped off by Home for Christmas in 2006. A career-spanning box set appeared in 2009, titled Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall and John Oates.
During the 2010s, the duo were very active, both together and separately. Several Hall & Oates tours were mounted, and they performed together on American Idol and The Voice. In 2011, Hall released his fifth solo album, Laughing Down Crying, on Verve Forecast, and that same year Oates released a blues tribute album titled Mississippi Mile. Three years later, Oates drafted contemporary pop stars including Ryan Tedder and Hot Chelle Rae for Good Road to Follow. Also in 2014, the duo were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & J. Scott McClintock, Rovi

text: During a recent interview with SLAM Wrestling!, WWE Diva Eve Torres had the following to say about a potential all-Divas season of WWE NXT: "When they told all of us about the idea of NXT, for the Divas that was our first question — will there be women on the show?" Torres said. "[There's] a lot of value that could add because we're always pushing for more with the Divas and bring the Divas to the next level. People don't really get to know as much as the other superstars because of the amount of time you see us on TV. So having something show what it means to be a Diva... I think that's what NXT is about — what it means to be a superstar — and I think a female version would be awesome because it could help communicate that to the world."

Paige Premium Jeans
Rachel Bilson in Paige Premium
Rachel Bilson leaves lunch with friends at America's Best restaurant in California. Rachel kept her look casual in a pair of Paige Premium Silverlake shorts. Rachel has been spotted out in many different pairs of shorts recently, including the Silverlake shorts in Friction.
Despite her love for shorts, the Instyle column writer recently expressed her enthusiasm for full skirts, "I'm into the 50's influence that's coming back. It's fun to be Audrey Hepburn for a day." I'm sure whatever Rachel wears, she'll look stylish as always!
Denim Review: Paige Premium Verdugo Jeggings In Stratus
As you know I am a huge fan of Paige's Premium Denim jeggings! They are just so comfy! This is my 3rd pair, but this time I went for the Stratus wash as it's beautiful. The grey is the perfect shade, it's not too dark and it's not too light. It's quite similar to the Masai Grey colour we have seen on the celebs but not quite as dark.
I want to start this review by saying the reason why I love Paige's jeggings. She makes one of the most flattering denim leggings there is on the market right now, the Verdugo is skinny all the way to the ankle, the inseam is just long enough for me to have a small bit of bunching around the ankle, the rise is the perfect height, the back pockets, like Paige is known for, are in the perfect place and give the perfect fit. These are also a cotton and elastane mix so they are very soft and so comfortable! I would definitely recommend Paige as a brand to go to if you are looking to try the denim leggings trend, you wont be disappointed! I've tried so many from lots of brands and Paige's are in my top 2!
It was hard picking which ones are my favourite between these, my June Lake pair and my Dusk pair but I think June Lake still wins slightly, based on the prettiness of the wash. I love that Paige has a huge collection of jeggings as well, she has a few cuts to choose from and so many washes! She has just released a lot more too, finally the Royal wash is out! That one I have been lusting after since I saw them a while back when I met her in London and previewed the collection. Paige has even brought out purple coloured ones and green as well!
For those of you interested in the rest of my outfit, I have a Topshop sleeveless denim jacket on and a pair of Rock & Republic spiked heels in fuchsia. I love the double denim look and since these jeggings are grey it's really easy to work the double denim trend as the shades are completely different. Please click on the gallery images to view them full size. You can buy these leggings on the Paige website for only $158.
You can also read my other review on these denim leggings in June Lake here.

Rachel Bilson in Paige Premium Shorts
I thought these shorts were the Friction wash when I saw the front of them, I recognised the distressing and grey shade! Rachel Bilson was heading to a loft with friends in Downtown Los Angeles, California. She looks adorable! Rachel was wearing a pair of Paige Premium Silverlake shorts in Friction with a pair of Lanvin Pom Pom flip flops in coral and a Chanel shoulder bag.
I don't think the coral flip flops match the rest of the outfit but I have been eyeing these sandals for a long time since I saw them on Net-A-Porter a while ago, I love them! I hope we see Rachel in the Layne cargos by Paige soon too! She would look great in those! They are definitely her style. Buy these shorts at Revolve in the sale for only $90! Please click this blog post to see more pictures.
Geri Halliwell in Paige Premium
Ex Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell was seen heading to her local church yesterday in London, England. It was so hot yesterday, I'm suprised she is in jeans! Geri picked a pair of Paige Premium jeans with heels and a white tee. I heard that Geri might be in line to judge on the panel with Simon Cowell when he brings X Factor to the USA later on this year.
I used to love X Factor so much as it was purely about singers but now it's more of a production show and a media exploitation, I don't like it so much anymore. I'm glad we got some good singers from it though like Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke and JLS. Geri seems to be a big fan of Paige Premium, every time I see her she is normally wearing jeans from the brand. She looks great in them! Buy Paige jeans at Paige Premium Denim.

Selmian convicted of unemployment compensation fraudPublished 10:35pm Wednesday, October 2, 2013
MONTGOMERY — Alabama Department of Labor Commissioner Tom Surtees announced Monday the prosecution of several Alabamians for unemployment compensation fraud, including on Selma resident.
Shirley A. Johnson, of Selma, was tried in Dallas County District Court on Aug. 27.
An investigation by Labor's Benefit Payment Control Section determined Johnson received a total of $5,126 in benefits to which she was not entitled.
Johnson pled guilty and was sentenced to 90 days in jail, which was suspended for two years pending restitution, and given two years of probation. She was also required to pay court costs and restitution in the amount of benefits received.
"In these economic times, we want to make sure that all who are entitled to benefits receive them. But at the same time, we will not allow those who deliberately try to defraud the system to go unpunished," Surtees said. "We are working with local District Attorney Offices to make sure that we can identify and prosecute those individuals who are committing these crimes. We would also like to remind employers that their timely reporting of new hires is one of the best tools we have to detect unemployment fraud. "
Suspected unemployment compensation fraud may be reported by calling (800) 392-8019.

1. Technical Field
This invention relates to a hose construction. Specifically, the invention relates to a hose assembly adapted for carrying vehicular fluids under high pressures.
2. Description of Related Art
Hose assemblies used to carry brake fluids are well known in the art. The hose should preferably be strong and resilient to heat, chemical degradation, and high pressures. These hoses are subject to chemical breakdown by various fluids which flow through them. Further, these hoses are typically routed through the engine compartment of the vehicle to deliver fluids between the various components of the vehicle. These engines are hot and thus, the hoses used to carry fluids are subject to breakdown from the heat. Further, some of the fluids are under high pressure which adds to the weakening process of the hoses.
TEFLON� hoses provide the necessary physical properties to carry fluids. A major problem with these types of hoses is that when used alone, i.e., only a TEFLON� liner or conduit, they tend to get bent during installation and they kink. Further, a TEFLON� hose used alone cannot withstand fluids under high pressures which are sometimes required.
To solve these problems, one known hose assembly includes an inner TEFLON� tubular member. The inner tubular member is surrounded by a tightly wound metallic braid. The metallic braid allows the TEFLON� inner tubular member to bend to a certain degree without kinking. However, if bent past a certain point, the metallic braid aids in the kinking of the inner tubular member. Other disadvantages include, the metallic braid rubbing against itself and wears itself out when high pressure impulses of fluid are sent through the hoses being thermally and electrically conductive and transmitting noise during vibration of the vehicle which is undesirable.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,124,878 to Martucci issued Jun. 23, 1992 and assigned to the assignee of the subject invention discloses a vehicular fuel hose having an inner liner and a reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer includes yarns of glass fiber braided together and is used to strengthen the inner liner and help prevent kinking or permanent deformation in the inner liner. This fuel hose, however, is incapable of withstanding the high pressures through which other vehicular fluids pass. For example, vehicular brake fluid in anti-lock brake systems (ABS) extend well beyond the range in which the fiberglass can withstand because the tensile strength is inefficient and because the fiberglass braid will wear on itself and exterior surfaces, and weaken the hose to a point where the hose will rupture, an intolerable occurrence.
According to the present invention there is provided a hose assembly consisting of an inner fluorocarbon polymeric tubular liner having two ends and a longitudinal hollow body extending therebetween. An outer reinforcing layer surrounds the inner fluorocarbon polymeric tubular liner wherein the outer reinforcing layers includes a plurality of yarns fabricated from a plurality of fibers tightly braided together and surrounding the inner fluorocarbon polymeric tubular liner. The outer reinforcing layer further includes an organic polymeric material consisting essentially of a fluorocarbon polymer which is resistant to thermal and chemical degradation and is dispersed in the plurality of yarns. The organic polymeric material lubricates and strengthens the plurality of yarns. The hose assembly is characterized by the plurality of yarns including wear reducing means for reducing the wear on the hose assembly from friction produced by each of said plurality of yarns moving against exterior surfaces due to impulses of fluids under high pressure passing therethrough.
By incorporating the wear reducing means in the yarns used to fabricate the outer reinforcing layer, the hose assembly is capable of allowing fluids under high pressure impulses to pass therethrough without self-wearing because the wear reducing means is resilient and can withstand friction created by the back-and-forth motion of the yarns with respect to each other due to the high pressure impulses forcing the movement thereof.
Other advantages of the present invention will be readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the subject invention;
FIG. 2 is a side view partially broken away of the preferred embodiment of the preferred embodiment of the subject invention including a coupling member;
FIG. 3 is a side view partially broken away of the preferred embodiment of the subject invention including an alternative coupling member; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of the hose assembly.
A hose assembly made in accordance with the instant invention is generally shown at 10 in the figures. The assembly 10 includes a tubular member, generally indicated at 11. Couplers, generally indicated at 20 (as best viewed in FIGS. 2 and connect the ends of the tubular member 11 to fittings for conducting fluid therethrough.
The tubular member 11 includes an inner organic polymeric liner 12 having two ends 40 and a hollow body 42 extending therebetween. The liner 12 is preferably extruded and has a wall thickness of between 0.001 and 0.120 inches. The inner liner 12 is preferably made a fluorocarbon polymer. Specifically, the inner liner is made of the polymer of tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the polymer of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), a polymer of perfluoroalkoxy resin (PFA), or the polymer of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE). The fluorocarbon polymers PTFE, FET, and PFA are sold under the trademark TEFLON� by DuPont. The polymer ETFE sold under the trademark TEFZEL� by DuPont.
The inner liner 12 is impervious to fluid flow through the wall. Since the inner liner 12 is preferably made of a fluorocarbon polymer material, it is resistant to both heat and chemical degradation. This allows a variety of fluids, particularly vehicular fuels and brake fluids, to pass through the interior of the liner 12 without corroding the liner 12.
The assembly 10 further includes a braided or woven layer 13 about the exterior of the inner liner 12, as shown exposed in the left portion of FIG. 1. The braided layer 13 can comprise any non-metallic material disposed in interleaving fashion or wrapped tightly about the inner liner 12.
The assembly 10 is characterized by wear reducing means 19 for reducing the wear incurred by the braided layer 13 created between the braided layer 13 and any exterior structure located thereabout as fluids apply outwardly directed forces circumferentially against the inner diameter of the inner organic polymeric liner 12 in the form of high pressure impulses. The wear is accentuated because the fluid passes therethrough in impulse form to create a continuously varying amount of force which forces the braided layer 13 to move back and forth against the exterior structures with each impulse of fluid that passes therethrough.
The wear reducing means 19 is preferably a material used in the braided layer 13. In the preferred embodiment, the braided layer 13 includes a plurality of yarns 15 fabricated from a plurality of fibers 17 including glass fibers intermixed with material used to fabricate the wear reducing means 19 and, more particularly, aramid fibers 19. Glass 17 and aramid fibers 19 provide the necessary strength and resistance to frictional wear. Further, the glass and aramid 19 fibers are heat resistant which is important for use in heated environments and for making the assembly as will be described subsequently. The aramid fibers 19 allow the hose assembly 10 to be impervious to friction created between the hose assembly 10 and any exterior structure as well as being impervious to the wear which would be experienced by yarns including only glass fibers when such a hose assembly would be subjected to passing fluids under high pressures therethrough. More specifically, the aramid fibers 19, chosen specifically for their physical properties (discussed below), prevent or reduce wear on the hose assembly 10 due to the interplay between the hose assembly 10 and exterior surfaces located thereabout which occurs when high pressure impulses of fluid are passed therethrough.
The braided or woven fibers may be tightly wound or they may be loosely wound about the inner liner 12 having wide gaps between adjacent fibers. In the preferred embodiment, the yarns 15 are tightly woven such that the gaps or spaces between adjacent yarns 15 are minimal. The braided layer 13 adds to the strength of the inner liner 12. Particularly, by using a braided layer 13, the working pressure of the inner liner 12 is increased, allowing higher pressure fluids to flow through the inner liner 12. Further, the braided layer 13 adds to the tensile strength of the hose assembly When coupling members 20 are disposed on the ends of the tubular member 11, as will be described subsequently, the braided layer 13 increases the tensile strength of the hose assembly 10 sufficiently to fixedly connect any type of coupling member 20 to the tubular member 11. Finally, the braided layer 13 adds to the hoop strength of the inner liner 12.
The aramid fibers 19 are fabricated from aromatic polyamides which are formed by reactions that lead to the formation of amide linkages between aromatic rings. In practice, aromatic diamines and aromatic diacid chlorides are employed in an amide solvent. From these polymers, fibers of exceptional heat and flame resistance and high tensile strength and modulus are produced. Aramid is a manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long-chain synthetic polyamide in which at least 85% of the amide --(CC--NH)-linkages are attached directly to two aromatic rings. The aramids in commercial use have 100% of the amide linkages attached directly to two aromatic rings. Kevlar, a trademark of DuPont and the aramid fiber of the preferred embodiment, is based on PPD-T, poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide).
Aramid fibers are characterized by medium-to-ultrahigh tensile strength, medium-to-low elongation, and moderately high-to-ultrahigh modulus. The majority of these fibers have been reported to be either highly crystalline or crystallizable with densities for crystalline fibers ranging from 1.35 to 1.45 g/cm3 ; hot drawn fibers have a density of 1.38 to 1.45 g/cm3. Fibers from PPD-T, i.e., Kevlar�, have a density of 1.45 g/cm3.
The braided layer 13 includes, in the preferred embodiment, both the glass fibers and the aramid (or Kevlar�) fibers. The hose assembly 10 may include a braided layer 13 consisting solely of aramid fibers 19 with no combination with glass fibers 17. A 100% aramid fiber 19 braided layer 13 is possible because of the emulsion or organic polymeric dispersion 14 (discussed subsequently) lubricates the individual fibers 19 preventing wear therebetween. In the preferred embodiment, however, the aramid fibers 19 would comprise between 10% and 20% of the total fibers used in the braided layer 13. The aramid fibers 19 may be either directly mixed in with the glass fibers or, in the alternative, a percentage of the bobbins used to fabricate the braided layer 13 may be exclusively aramid fibers 19. As an example of the latter, in a twenty four (24) bobbin braid manufacturing machine, two (2) to four (4) of the bobbins would be exclusively aramid fibers 19 whereas the remaining bobbins would have glass fibers.
The assembly 10 further includes an organic polymeric dispersion or coating 14 in the braided layer 13. Specifically, an organic polymeric material is dispersed about the braided layer 13 and is located from the outer periphery of the braided layer 13 radially inwardly toward the inner layer 12 (as best viewed in FIG. 4). The organic polymeric material is deposited in the interstices of the braided layer 13. The coating 14 preferably comprises a fluorocarbon polymer.. Specifically, the coating 14 comprises a polymer of tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the polymer of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), the polymer of perfluoroalkoxy resin (PFA), or the polymer ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE).
The coating 14 covers or coats the yarns 15 of the braided layer 13, as shown on the right portion of FIG. 1. That is, the coating 14 covers the fibers of the braided layer 13 either from the outer periphery radially inwardly or from the inner organic polymeric liner 12 radially outwardly depending on the method used to apply the organic polymeric coating 14. The coating, therefore, does not extend radially outwardly from the outer periphery of the braided layer 13. After the material has been coated, yarn 15 is discernible. In effect, what results is a coating 14 having the braided layer therein.
The outer coating 14 is preferably formed by first braiding or wrapping the material 13 about the exterior of the inner liner 12. The organic polymeric material is then dispersed into the braided material 13 from the outer periphery of the braided layer 13 radially inwardly toward the inner liner. Preferably, the organic polymeric material is a fluorocarbon polymer in a dispersion. In other words, the coating 14, as applied, comprises a fluorocarbon polymer and at least one carrying fluid. The preferable fluid is water. It will be appreciated that any suitable fluid may be used. The fluorocarbon polymer dispersion coats or is dispersed throughout the entire braided layer 13. Specifically, the fluorocarbon polymer dispersion effectively coats each of the yarns 15 from the outer periphery radially inwardly. The yarn 15 is coated such that any gap between adjacent yarns 15 will be filled with the polymer dispersion by a widening action. Also, the outer periphery of each yarn 15 is completely coated. The carrying fluid is then removed from the dispersion by drying. This leaves a fluorocarbon polymer material dispersed throughout the braided layer 13 and therefore connects braided layer 13 to the inner liner 12 forming a single layer.
As previously stated, both the inner liner 12 and coating 14 are preferably fluorocarbon polymers. It is, however, not necessary that both inner liner 12 and the coating 14 be of the same fluorocarbon polymer, although they may be. For example, the inner liner 12 may be made of PFA while the coating 14 is made of PTFE. Any combination of the fluorocarbon polymers listed may be utilized for the inner liner 12 and coating 14.
The coating 14 in conjunction with the braided layer 13 allows the inner liner 12 to be bent without kinking. That is, the coating 14 is dispersed throughout the braided layer 13 provides strength to the inner liner 12 upon bending. This is commonly referred to as hoop strength. Thus, by using a polymeric coating 14 dispersed throughout the braided layer 13, a trim profile assembly is produced which results in a hood strength of the tubular member 11 being increased so that the tubular member 11 can be bent without kinking the inner liner 12. Further, the outer coating 14 adds to the working pressure of the hose. That is, the coating 14 provides strength and allows the inner liner 12 to accommodate a fluid under pressure. Also, the coating 14 hinders abrasion of the tubular member Said another way, the coating 14 aids in abrasion resistance of the tubular member 11. That is, because the coating is continuous about the outer periphery of the braided layer 13, the braided layer 13 is not subject to abrasion. The coating 14 resists abrasion.
The braided layer 13 is also lubricated by the coating 14. More specifically, the coating 14 penetrates much or all of the plurality of yarns 15 and surrounds much or all of the glass and aramid 19 fibers reducing the amount of friction produced therebetween. In the preferred embodiment, 50%-100% of the fibers 17, 19 are coated by the coating 14. The coating 14 coats the fibers and necessarily separates the fibers from each other reducing the friction created therebetween.
Because Kevlar�, the preferred aramid fiber, is sensitive to ultra-violet radiation, the coating 14 is pigmented to reflect all ultra-violet radiation. In the preferred embodiment, the coating 14 is black.
The assembly 10 may further include couplers, generally indicated at 20. The couplers 20 connect the assembly 10 to a fitting (not shown). The fitting is adapted to cooperate with the couplers 20. Specifically, the couplers 20 comprise a coupling assembly which includes an insert portion, generally indicated at 22 for inserting into and engaging the interior inner liner 12. The insert portion 22 may have a plurality of barbs 24 for engaging the interior of the inner liner 12 (as best viewed in FIG. 2). Alternatively, the insert portion may have a pair of annular ridges 26, and a smooth portion 28 therebetween (as best viewed in FIG. 3). The coupling assembly 20 further includes an engaging portion generally indicated at 30 extending longitudinally from the insert portion. The engaging portion is for engaging a fitting (not shown) adapted to cooperate therewith. The engaging portion 30 may comprise a male threaded member 32 (FIG. 2) or a female threaded member 34 (FIG. 3). The engaging portion 30 may also comprise any configuration adapted to cooperate with a member to which it is to be fixed. For example, the engaging portion 30 may comprise a socket to receive a mating ball joint. Finally, the coupling assembly 20 includes a locking collar 36. The locking collar 36 is disposed about the exterior of the outer coating 14 and is slid over the insert portion 22 of the coupling assembly 20. In this manner, the inner liner 12 is forced into tight frictional engagement with the insert portion 22 to prevent relative axial movement between the inner liner 12 and insert portion 22. The coupling assembly 20 can be of any other well-known type. For example, the coupling assembly 20 may be an organic polymeric material and may be molded out of the tubular member 11 for a mechanical connection or fusion bond.
As certain fluids flow through the inner liner 12, electrical charges may build throughout the length of the inner liner 12. In order to prevent these electrical charges from accumulating, the inner liner 12 has an electrical longitudinal conductive means coextensive with the length of the inner liner 12 for conducting electrical charge through the liner 12. In the instances where it is known that a charge will build due to the fluid flowing therethrough, the inner liner 12 has a conductive strip 16 of carbon black. The carbon strip 16 is electrically conductive and will dissipate any electrical charges built up by the fluid. 10 Alternatively, the whole inner tubular member 12 can comprise the conductive means. This is done by using carbon black as an entire inner liner 12. The braided layer 13 and coating 14 are preferably electrically non-conductive. This is important in that electrical charges applied to the exterior of the outer coating 14 will not be conducted throughout the length of the tubular member 11 or to the fluid passing through the interior of the inner liner 12. It will be appreciated that other conductive materials may be used to form the conductive strip 16.
The invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology which has been used is intended to be in the nature of words of description rather than of limitation.
Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. It is, therefore, to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims wherein reference numerals are merely for convenience and are not to be in any way limiting, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.

City bumbles on Chuckanut Ridge extensionPermalink +
Wed, Aug 04, 2010, 10:12 am // John Servais
Our mayor, Dan Pike, has much to answer for regarding Chuckanut Ridge. He and the Planning Department are playing a cozy game with Greenbriar Northwest Associates (GNA) and their development rights to Chuckanut Ridge. Dan is acting against the best interests of Bellingham - and is keeping even the City Council in the dark about what is happening.
Let me lay out some specifics, with some questions.
We learned this week that Bellingham Planning Department interim director, Jeffrey Thomas, granted a three month extension to GNA for their Environmental Impact Statement submittal, from July 30 to October 29. The letter from GNA's attorney, Bob Tull, requesting the extension was sent on Friday, July 23 and the extension was very quickly granted a week later, Friday, July 30. This looks like a quietly prearranged deal because the request letter is very short and the wording is almost gobbly gook, saying a "partial change of ownership" has made this extension necessary. That change took place seven months ago.
To submit this request only a week before their deadline suggests a lot of confidence in getting the extension. It also avoids any public discussion of the issue, as it happens so quickly. A normally reliable source says Planning Director Thomas only checked with David Webster, the mayor's assistant, and someone in the legal department. The mayor has been on a month-long vacation to the East Coast. So whether or not he was made aware of this extension request is a question. Regardless, the City Council has the authority to control such extensions and a check with several Council members reveals none of them knew anything about this.
Here is what I did not know until today: the EIS deadline has been extended at least once before, and maybe several times. It was set to expire at the end of March. But in March, Bob Tull requested, and then-Planning Director Tim Stewart granted, a three month extension to - you guessed it - July 30. In March, Tull cited "internal ownership change" as his reason for requesting an extension. It also appears there was an earlier extension from December 30, 2009 - but I do not have solid evidence of that.
So, here are a few questions. How many quiet and unpublicized extensions has GNA received? Why? And why has the City Council not been told of these extensions? Regardless of the citing of Bellingham Codes by Jeffrey and Tim, this issue of extensions is a Council prerogative. To not even inform them is something the mayor needs to answer for.
Now combine those unpublicized extensions with the closing of Horizon Bank and the transfer of all their assets to Washington Federal in early January - including the GNA and the ownership of the approximately 100 acres of Chuckanut Ridge. The mayor told us in January he was in negotiations with the bank to buy the land for the city. I was told by others involved that the mayor was going to keep the City Council updated on progress. So, many of us kept quiet to allow the negotiations to move forward without any public noise. With the City Council in the loop, we could wait for a good solution. One Council member told me in April, that based on Council briefings by the mayor, his understanding was that an agreement was close. Apparently since then the Council has not been kept up to date.
The city, by extending these deadlines, is actually artificially propping up the value of the land. The city is causing the property purchase to cost us millions more. The mayor is acting against the best interests of the city by allowing the extensions. And it all seems to be quietly arranged by verbal agreement with short cryptic letters serving as the public record.
I've communicated with several City Council members in the past couple days. They know nothing about what is going on. They have no idea where the negotiations are. They did not know of the this latest extension - and only learned about it two days ago on this website. The Herald has had nothing. And of course, the Council members probably did not know of the earlier extensions as I'm posting that information for the first time here.
Since January the city has had a golden opportunity to buy this pristine land for much less than $10 million. Not all the land is needed to preserve the wetlands, springs and stream sources. The southwest third of the land is perfect for upscale home lots and could probably be sold in a few years for almost $10 million. Or the city could buy a third of the property for a few million and the bank could donate property for a park and get a huge tax write-off because the city's purchase price would set the value of the land. The city has had seven months - with the needed money earmarked in the Greenways Levy account - to cut a super deal for this land. And now here we are, eight months into it, and we learn our mayor is propping up the value of the land for the owners. Who knows - they might turn down the city and sell to some other developer - complete with very nice extensions for submitting plans.
The mayor arrives home today from his very long time away. He has much to answer for.
Tip Johnson // Wed, Aug 04, 2010, 11:54 am
The Council is statutorily charged with the authority and responsibility to condition every development proposal in the best interests of the community. They have generally delegated much of that authority to the Planning Director for routine administrative matters, but also retain the overall responsibility for policy issues.
In this case, there are some very thorny issues related to the questionable vesting of an incomplete and erroneous application, and the application of outdated, inadequate critical areas standards.
The DEIS quite clearly demonstrated that the proposal as framed would have devastating effects on publicly owned wetlands and two salmon streams. The Council may very well want to weigh in on their policy of protecting critical wetlands. How long should we continue to apply standards we already know to be insufficient?
